Chapter 359
Gu Xici's face was full of surprise, and her lower body could already feel the breeze blowing from the door.
"I'll come in slowly, and then you hold on, and I'll pick you up when I arrive!" Gu Xici looked at the door that was not very big and said to Chu Jin.
"Be careful, do you need me to lend you some more strength?" Chu Jin asked worriedly.
"It's okay, soon."
Gu Xici slid down from Chu Jin's leg again, so that her toes could touch the ground inside.
Her movements were slow, from the soles of her feet to her calves and thighs, and then she let go of one hand and slammed it against the wall, then the other, and then a perfect sideways body, and the whole person fell to the ground of the dark passage.
"How are you?" Chu Jin shouted worriedly.
"It's okay, it's just a little short inside!" Gu Xici struggled to stand up, and the corridor behind the half-human high door was only about one meter and a half, which was barely bent for her as a woman, but Chu Jin might have to sit on her knees.
Chu Jin stared at the firelight in the corridor, and then saw Gu Xici stretch out his head, "Quick, jump down and I'll catch you!" ”
Gu Xici opened his arms, and this posture was thinking about reporting Chu Jin down.
Chu Jin looked at her with some hesitation, this posture was really not good-looking.
"You don't want my help, I'll just go in and sit and watch a good show!" Gu Xi pretended to leave.
"Wait!" Chu Jin hurriedly shouted, he pursed his lips, his feet almost touched the entrance, and as soon as the dagger in his hand was loosened, the whole person fell.
"Hmm...... You're so heavy! Gu Xici steadily caught Chu Jin's upper body, and he still had one foot hanging underneath.
Gu Xici's legs hooked a raised stone in the corridor, and with one force, he pulled Chu Jin back from the abyss.
The two of them collapsed to the ground, and Gu Xici gasped even more.
Although Chu Jin doesn't look heavy, he is also a man, and just now, Gu Xici even used his strength to breastfeed.
"If you don't die in a great disaster, you will have a blessing!" Chu Jin was lying next to Gu Xici, the faces of the two of them were facing each other, and the sweat on each other's faces couldn't help but raise the corners of their mouths.
"It's better to have fewer such calamities, I can't bear those blessings!" Gu Xici struggled to get up, half-squatting.
"How so! If you are a man, you will definitely have something to do, and your skills just now are on par with Jing Gao. Chu Jin also got up, he couldn't squat down, he could only sit on the ground.
A hint of horror flashed in Gu Xici's eyes.
Did Chu Jin already see something in her? She is obviously the third lady of the Prime Minister's family, she should be knowledgeable and proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but after contact these days, in addition to being able to fight and kill, it seems that Chu Jin has not seen other aspects of himself.
How can such a woman standing in front of him teach her to believe that the person in front of her is Gu Xici?
And Chu Jin has not pierced this layer of screen paper, either because he thinks that she will not harm him, or he is not afraid at all, because he can't hurt him.
"What are you thinking?"
Chu Jin shouted at her and called Gu Xici back from his contemplation.
At this time, Chu Jin had already relied on his own strength to slowly walk forward, but when he turned around, he found that Gu Xici had not followed.
"Wait, there's an important thing." As she spoke, she tore off a piece of cloth from herself, lit it with a fire fold and threw it out.
Chu Jin looked at her series of movements, and couldn't help but smile and said, "You really hold a grudge!" ”
"What? I never said I was a good person! Gu Xici said triumphantly.
"Let's go." Chu Jin stretched out his hand in front.
Gu Xici looked at the hands and was stunned for a moment, and then shook them with a smile.
The hands weren't hot, and there was some sweat that hadn't just dried. But such a pair of hands made Gu Xici feel extremely relieved.
*
Walking along the road to the end, the height of the road gradually returned to normal. According to the location, this position should be behind the previous hall.
And the end of this road is a bronze gate.
"Inside this door, it should be the Dihuang Hall dedicated to the god of the earth." Recalling the structure of the entire imperial tomb, Chu Jin said slowly.
And the Bagua Array Hall that they had experienced just now should be on this road, but after walking all the way through a few stairs, this location should be the Dihuang Hall side by side with the Bagua Array.
Looking at the bronze door in front of them, the two glanced at each other, and tacitly put their hands on the bronze door at the same time, ready to push the door open.
I don't know if it's my own illusion, Gu Xici always felt that his hand was caressing this door, and there was a burst of warmth from the inside of the door.
Her brow furrowed.
"Be careful!"
"Beware!"
The moment the door was pushed open, the two of them leaned directly against the wall next to them as if they had agreed.
Instead of the imaginary arrows flying out, a heat wave came head-on.
"How so?" Gu Xici asked with squinted eyes.
"Dihuang Palace, so there should be something like molten slurry in it, I forgot, the more you leave the country in the northwest, this kind of lava is very easy to obtain, unlike Da Chu, there are only a few pieces of lava in the imperial tomb, which are used as sacrifices and lamps." Chu Jin said with a frown.
Gu Xici poked his head and looked inside, only to find that the inside was completely different from the hall just now. There was a piece of lava in every corner, and the temperature in the hall was so high that it looked like a crater from this side.
There are four carved dragon pillars on the main hall, and the heat emitted by the lava makes it look like smoke is curling at all times.
Gu Xici couldn't imagine if there were any remaining bones if he went inside and came out, and he couldn't help but feel numb in his scalp.
"Otherwise, let's find out if there is a corridor like the one just now, I don't think it's going to be easy to get in here." Gu Xici proposed.
"I shouldn't be able to find it here, even if there is a road, it's still under this hall, and we only have this one way all the way, and there are no other forks in the road." Chu Jin struck: "Back then, when we made the imperial tombs in Great Chu, we would put a passage under each organ to facilitate the entry and exit of those workers. ”
"Tut-tut, His Royal Highness King Zhao, I can't see that you are so knowledgeable!" Gu Xici gritted his teeth and asked, "Why didn't you see you just now!" ”
"Ahem, didn't you remember it just now!" Chu Jin coughed dryly twice, and leaned his whole body towards Gu Xici's side, "Concubine Ai, it may be that I was a little tired from walking just now, and now I am not very comfortable......
Gu Xici raised his head, and his gaze saw his angular face directly from Chu Jin's jaw.
There was some embarrassment in his expression, and he deliberately played a clever trick to be coquettish in front of himself. Gu Xici has been with Chu Jin for so long, this is the first time I have seen him with such an expression!
The hot gaze hit Chu Jin's face, and he blushed a little.
"Ci'er, you look at me like this, don't you want to eat me here?" The ambiguity of Chu Jin's words made Gu Xici stunned for a moment, and then he realized that he had something to say.
"Who wants to eat you!" Gu Xici turned his face away in embarrassment.
"Hey, what should I do, my lady is not interested in me, but if you want to change the ......" The thin lips were lightly raised, and the corners of the mouth couldn't help but turn upward, "There is no chance in this life!" ”
"Hmph, I only believe in one generation and one pair, although you rob me to be your concubine, but can you guarantee that you will not touch other women in this life? If I could, I wouldn't mind being entangled with you for the rest of my life. Gu Xici sneered, stared at Chu Jin, and said slowly.
"I'm ......" Before Chu Jin finished speaking, he suddenly heard the doctor who "knock", and then, in the middle of the pillars in the main hall, several yellow smoke spewed out from the pool.
A stone gate fell behind them, sealing their retreat.
"Brimstone!" Gu Xici smelled that it was sulfur in the air.
"Did we just run into something? Why did it pop up all of a sudden? ”
"Maybe it's on the door, we open it, and when we come in, this stone door comes down, and then we start spraying poison gas." Chu Jin covered his nose with his hand, and at the same time covered Gu Xici's nose with the other hand.
Before they could come back to their senses, suddenly the place around them where the rocks had been placed changed dramatically.
The entire hall was illuminated very brightly, and Gu Xici realized that the people who originally surrounded the hall were all volcanic stones.
"Bang!"
There were several muffled sounds one after another, and I saw several fireballs erupt from the air, rushing into the air and falling sharply.
Fireballs that fell to the ground rolled down the hall. At this time, the temperature in the main hall suddenly increased, and Gu Xici felt as if he was soaking in water.
And when the fireball fell to the ground, it also emitted countless sparks.
"Be careful!" Gu Xici looked at Mars and sprayed towards Chu Jin, and immediately pulled the person over, but it was still a step too late, and his sleeve was already lit by Mars.
Chu Jin quickly waved the dagger towards his sleeve, and the fallen sleeve burned to ashes on the ground, and Chu Jin's hand was also exposed.
"Run!" Before Gu Xici could breathe a sigh of relief, Chu Jin directly took her hand and ran towards the opposite door.
The terrain here was uneven, and after those fireballs landed, they rushed straight towards Gu Xici and Chu Jin.
The temperature in the air had reached its peak, and the clothes on Gu Xici and Chu Jin had already been wet with sweat.
The door of the main hall was in front of them, and both of them couldn't help but have a smile on their faces.
But at this moment, suddenly the whole hall shook.
Fireballs from all directions were now pouring towards the gate.
Crackling, booming, it was the sound of countless things falling to the ground, and the incense burners that were originally placed with volcanic stones also tumbled down because of the sudden vibration.
Seeing that a big incense burner was about to buckle Gu Xici's body, Chu Jin moved quickly and pulled Gu Xici to his side, but he blocked the smashed incense burner with his hand.
"Chu Jin!" Gu Xici's eyes widened as he watched the incense burner smash into Chu Jin's hand, and the ashes in the incense burner also spilled into the air at this moment. The exposed skin turned red the moment it touched the ashes.
Chu Jin turned around sharply, and finally narrowly avoided the incense burner, but his skin came into contact with the fiery stove.
"Hiss......" Chu Jin couldn't help but gasp.
The fireballs on the main hall were still coming out, and although the vibration was over, the temperature of the main hall was also rising.
Gu Xici struggled to pick up Chu Jin, who was squatting because of pain, and the two supported each other and walked towards the gate.
Hope lies ahead, and as long as you dodge here, everything will be fine.
Gu Xici could see that Chu Jin's face had a lot of blood left, and his hands also exuded a scorching smell. Gu Xici's nose was sour, but she could only endure the discomfort and follow Chu Jin to move towards the gate.
Finally, after overcoming many dangers, the two men finally came to the door.
"I'll drive it!" Chu Jin couldn't muster his strength anymore, so he tried hard, but the door didn't react in the slightest.
Gu Xici asked Chu Jin to stand aside, gritting his teeth and pushing the door with all his might, but he still didn't move.
Gu Xici's mind was like a mess, looking at the closed door, and the more and more fireballs around him that were constantly approaching the two of them, and he was anxious.
"Alright?" Chu Jin's voice was very weak, and his eyes seemed to be about to be unable to open, and they might close at any time.
"Right away, you hold on!" Gu Xici tried to calm himself down, touching the door with both hands, trying to find some clues on it.
Suddenly, Gu Xici touched something that looked like a keyhole, and couldn't help but be overjoyed.
"Found it?" Chu Jin felt Gu Xici's joy, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.
"Well, keyhole, very quickly, I'm an expert at this!" She took the dagger from Chu Jin's hand and plunged it towards the keyhole.
It's a pity that the keyhole is so small that the dagger can't get in, let alone pry it open!
What to do, is it possible that I really have to explain here today!
The temperature around is getting higher and higher, and Chu Jin's current state is also in a daze, only she, now only by relying on her, can save the two of them.
The temperature of the main hall was getting higher and higher, and Gu Xici and Chu Jin were leaning their backs against the gate, unable to think of how to leave from here.
"Boom!" With a bang, a fireball exploded near them.
Gu Xici subconsciously tightened his body, only to feel that someone behind him hugged him violently.
The explosion was so loud that Gu Xici couldn't hear any sound at all at the moment, and there was only a constant roar in his ears.
"How's it going?" At the critical moment, Chu Jin pounced directly on himself regardless of his personal safety, and Gu Xici could feel the different temperature on his body.
She shouted loudly, but the people who were close at her could not hear her at all.
Maybe it was telepathy, Chu Jin seemed to know what Gu Xici wanted to ask, he shook his head, and touched her head as if he was comforting.
But Gu Xici couldn't see it, at this time, Chu Jin's back was pitch black, and although the incense burner just now didn't hit him directly, when he turned around, it touched his arm and back.
Sweat mixed with wounds, Chu Jin could no longer perceive the pain on his body, with a smile on his face, he looked at Gu Xici quietly.
"Chu Jin ......" Gu Xici couldn't control the tears in his eyes, his throat seemed to be blocked by something, his mouth was open, but he couldn't make any sound.
The smile on Chu Jin's face made her feel frightened, and in his purple eyes, there was a shadow of her anxiety. She kept calling his name, even though she knew he couldn't hear him, even though she couldn't make a sound, but she still wanted to shout.
"We ...... I can get out! Chu Jin's voice was weak, but very firm. Hearing Chu Jin's words, Gu Xici seemed to have received some kind of assurance, and that man was like a god of war in her eyes.
She leaned against the door behind her back, her hands on the ground, and suddenly, she felt a slight coolness.
"Door! It's time to open! Gu Xici seemed to have discovered a new continent, and his eyes lit up instantly.
"What's wrong?" Before Chu Jin could react, he saw Gu Xici turn around, his hand tightly clasped under the stone door, and he wanted to put his fingers in.
"There's a crack in the door, it's windy, and it can be lifted!" Gu Xici didn't know what she was talking about at all, she only knew that as long as she opened this door, both of them would be able to get out of here!
The incense burner and volcanic furnace behind him kept erupting, and the fire became more and more vigorous. Suddenly, the stove placed in the middle spewed out a large mouthful of sulfur, and in an instant, the entire hall exploded, and the flames sprinkled on the main hall, and the hall was lit up everywhere.
And Gu Xici and Chu He had tried their best to finally put up a crack in the stone gate, just enough for a person to lie down and row sideways.
"Hurry up and go first!" Chu Jin pushed Gu Xici, didn't give her a chance to hesitate at all, and directly stuffed people into the gap.
Gu Xiqi turned over and got out.
However, the moment she left the main hall, she saw a thousand zhang of firelight, rushing towards Chu Jin's back.
