Chapter 334: Hair
"Is there a way to inform the people on earth?"
Shen Jingxue shook her head, "I've tried it, as soon as I enter the tomb, it seems that there is a special magnetic field, and no news can be transmitted." β
Qiu Xuan's fingertips subconsciously wiped the ring on his finger and did not speak.
"I've probably touched it here, and this small compartment is sealed all around, except for the small opening at the bottom that is connected to the tombway." Shen Jingxue's palm brushed the inner wall of the cramped space, "This position is also quite strange, but it seems to be an escape passage left by the kind of craftsman who built the tomb." β
Qiu Xuan glanced down, "Since it's an escape, why do you want to drive above the road?" Also, I think we're coming down from the wrong place, and if this tunnel is really used as an escape route, then even if we continue to climb down, we'll end up back on the surface. β
"There will be a secret passage to the tomb, as long as it can be found. But now the question is not this, but how are we supposed to get out? β
Qiu Xuan sighed and sat down on the ground, thought about it, and took out a chicken from the space.
Shen Jingxue: "??? Don't put anything weird in the accompanying space! Wait a minute...... No wonder a few villagers came over this morning to scold us for some reason, and we almost did it, it turned out to be you, a chicken thief! β
"Don't push it."
As soon as Qiu Xuan's hand was released, in an instant, the originally calm tomb road rolled and roared, and the hard rock wall turned into a soft touch, hanging layer by layer, and there was hardly a gap from the angle above them.
The rooster seemed to be unable to react after staying in the space for a long time, and was strangled and frozen for a while before crowing miserably. The feathers on the wings could not fly even when they were hanged and plucked, and as soon as they were exposed, they were swept into the tighter and tighter inner walls. Gradually, the rooster's unique crow was suffocated inside, and with a tooth-aching sound of bones shattering, the good chicken turned into a puddle of meat.
The two watched this scene in silence, casually substituting the human body into it, and they could probably imagine what the ending would be.
"What about your spells?" Qiu Xuan glanced at Shen Jingxue, "Isn't it still possible to summon the Thunder Emperor, now recruit a few paper people to go down and let them be bait?" β
Shen Jingxue shook her head, "Your stereotyped thinking is not right, in reality, the onmyoji profession is not what you think, and we can't really go to heaven and earth, and we are just ordinary people before we come to a desperate situation." β
Qiu Xuan's tone was strange, "Ordinary people? β
Shen Jingxue: "By the way, where did you just talk about it, when you talk about the newcomer, right, hahaha, I'll say it......"
Qiu Xuan was noncommittal. After a while, the tomb below gradually subsided again, and she opened the necromantic space, and it took a long time to find a surviving undead from the horns.
Since the last time she teamed up with Nightmare to trap Deception in the Necromantic Space for a while, the space had been almost completely destroyed. She had no way of knowing where the undead who were already dead would go if they "died" again, but fortunately, after being guided by the nightmare she was able to further gain the connection between the spaces, the necromantic space was slowly recovering at an extremely slow but at least proportional rate.
After all, in these places, the last thing that is lacking is "death".
Death.
Qiu Xuan's gaze suddenly became cold, but this emotion did not last long, and he directly released the dead spirit that had not easily escaped, and carefully threw it into the tomb.
She held her breath as she watched as the undead of the soul body roared through the tomb, but the path that seemed to be alive did not change in the slightest this time.
"Wow, there's two brushes." Shen Jingxue squinted for a while, "Is this your ability?" Something doesn't seem quite right, though. β
"How?"
Shen Jingxue thought for a while, "You never thought that these ...... could be in your hands Uh, necromancy? Ghost? In short, these things are these things, and what is the origin of their formation? β
"Death," Qiu Xuan didn't hesitate. "To be exact, this is the ability I snatched from 'death'."
"Yes, yes, the dead...... Wait, what do you say? Who did you snatch the power from? What did you snatch from 'death'? What did you do from death? β
Qiu Xuan glanced at him and didn't speak.
Shen Jingxue was still there and was quite like doing psychological construction for herself, and she guided herself for a long time before she said with a blushing face, "No wonder." β
"What's the wonder?"
ββ¦β¦ It's nothing. I guess let's stop talking about that for now, okay? β
"Whatever you want."
At present, it seems that the opportunity to "live" the tomb is that there are living creatures on it. Souls that have lost their lives, such as necromancy, are not affected. According to what is said, it seems that it is okay to bring that ugly jade pendant to cover the "qi" of the living.
"Wait until something happens, and you will be responsible for pulling me up." Qiu Xuan tied the jade pendant to her body, sat tentatively on the edge first, and slowly poked one foot down.
The puddle of blood and mud left behind by the hapless chicken was still on the ground, and she avoided it, and the sole of one foot gradually stepped on the rock wall.
There are no changes to the cemetery.
So Qiu Xuan started to put down her other foot with her hand, and she didn't see Shen Jingxue's expression on the side, which seemed to be a little strange.
"No, I actually wanted to talk about you yesterday." Shen Jingxue tugged at the rope tied to her belt with one hand, and watched the man squirm carefully and lie down in the tomb again. "When I gave you the rune paper water, you drank it without asking, and you still do. Strictly speaking, we're competitors, and you trust me so much? β
"Thinking too much, I don't trust you." Once again, he took the initiative to return to the cramped pipe where his whole body was oppressed, and it felt very bad, Qiu Xuan gritted his teeth and crawled forward a few steps, and then stopped to observe and wait for the reaction of the tomb.
The solar jade pendant is still somewhat useful, at least for now, Yongdao doesn't treat her as a living thing.
So she continued to climb back, "I'll go out first, and then when I get to the ground, I ask them for a few detonators to come down, and I remember the location." β
Shen Jingxue: "Can you think of some reliable way?" These evil things we encounter now are because those grandsons don't believe in evil and blew up the tomb of the dragon's blood, and now you still want to continue to blow it up? β
"It's all blown up, and the things in the tomb are already eyeing us, so there's no difference between blowing up a little bit and blowing up a dozen."
"Wait!"
The two of them instantly closed their mouths and ears, Shen Jingxue tightened the rope wrapped around her hand, and half of her body leaned out from under the compartment. "Did you hear that?"
"Afu, Afu, Afu......"
Someone was calling her perfunctory fake name.
Qiu Xuan lay in the tomb and frowned, the voice was very soft, and it seemed to have an inexplicable echo, screaming one after another, so it sounded quite gentle. It was only then that she realized that something was wrong, that the voice was always shouting at the same frequency pitch, as accurate as a recording.
"Someone is calling you, are those two students?"
"It doesn't sound like it."
"Could it be that the people of the earth are looking for us? After all, the delay was too long. Shen Jingxue reached out and knocked on the rock wall above her head, "We're hereββ! β
"Don't shout yet." Qiu Xuan interrupted him, frowning again and listening carefully for a while. "Don't you think this sound is familiar?"
"It's just a few of us who go down to the ground, otherwise who else?"
Who else?
ββ¦β¦β
Mischa.
If you listen closely, it does look like Misha's voice. Qiu Xuan was not very familiar with this voice, because Misha was either breaking down and crying or silent when she first saw it, even when she told her experience last night, she was choked. Voices with excessive emotional ups and downs are easily distorted, and this is probably the first time she has heard Misha's voice speak in a normal tone.
But the problem is that Misha obviously disappeared when she came down.
Qiu Xuan pushed the tip of her tongue against the inner wall of her mouth, but she didn't respond to the sound, so she continued to crawl back as if she didn't hear it. And as if to settle her silence, the voice began to call again.
"Afu, Afu...... It's so dark in here, I'm scared, Afu......"
Qiu Xuan's crawling speed was getting faster and faster, but for some reason, the voice kept following behind. "Afu, how long will it take to arrive, I want to go back......"
The more she listened, the more wrong it became, just because the voice kept repeating the words, except for "Afu", the others were all conversations that had occurred during Qiu Xuan's descent with the three of them. Misha said these words, as did the two students, and they were repeated over and over again.
There is a possibility.
That thing is learning to speak.
Qiu Xuan closed her eyes, her body kept moving, and she didn't know if it was her illusion, and the distance she crawled back seemed to be stretched. Although the tomb path no longer shrank, and there was a little space for crawling, she felt more and more tired, as if the pipe in front of her was endless.
"Afu, it's so dark here, shall we go back? Afu, Afu, Afu......"
Stop yelling.
Qiu Xuan climbed out of the distance again, holding her breath and turning her head sideways to see the passage she had just climbed, when she heard the sound of Shen Jingxue shouting with all her strength behind the corridor. "Don't look backββ!!!"
βοΌβ
Suffocate your breath. I saw that she was lying on Qiu Xuan's back, staring at her with two eyes maliciously.
"Grass."
Instinctively quicker than she thought, she jerked over and slammed her back against the rock wall on the side, the eyes peeking out of her hair narrowed in pain, and Qiu Xuan took the opportunity to escape forward.
But then, the hard, cold rock walls around them began to change again. The touch of human skin was touched under the palm of his hand, and he rolled and tried to wrap her inside.
The hair caught up and wrapped around Qiu Xuan's legs. The two bloodshot eyes widened, and the whites of the eyes that were almost squeezed so that they couldn't see the pupils slammed into the same eye on her face.
Qiu Xuan took the knife in her mouth and slashed it hard.
"Let's go!"
Behind the boiling and tumbling corridor, Shen Jingxue didn't know how to climb and chased after him so quickly. He clicked a few strands of hair on his fingertips and it burned, along the connected hairs all the way to the point of his eyes.
Qiu Xuan was pulled by him to something, only to find out that Shen Jingxue was lying on top of a long sword.
At this moment, it was equivalent to the sword supporting them to glide low. It's just that the road is shrinking tighter and tighter, and the weird hair behind him is still chasing persistently, Qiu Xuan barely pulls the end of the long sword to avoid being thrown down, but the inner wall is getting tighter and tighter, and it won't be long before the sword can't move.
"Jiangbei Crane don't chase!"
She couldn't bear it anymore, and after the hair was wrapped around her ankle again, she found the right time to kick the position of the eye, and the next second she didn't know if Jiang Beihe was really offended or some other reason, the thing actually stopped by itself.
In the hair that had become messy due to the long-term chaos, the two eyes turned to the front and showed out, looking at Qiu Xuan, suddenly squinting and bending up and down a few times.
It's laughing.
Qiu Xuan was hanging on the tail of the sword and was pulled forward quickly, but her eyes were fixed on the position of the mass of hair.
It's laughing.
"Aph, Aph, goodbye. Aph, goodbye, Ave,......"
In a trance, she seemed to hear Misha's voice again.
β¦β¦
"It's dangerous, it's almost."
Shen Jingxue flipped off the sword and wiped the sweat from her forehead. "It's too dangerous, let me tell you, I watched that thing fall on your back. But I didn't dare to tell you, I'm afraid that the two of us won't have time to come out as soon as I said it at that time. β
They didn't go back to the fork where Qiu Xuan came at this time, but went directly back to the bottom of the thief cave they had laid.
Qiu Xuan remembered clearly that they went straight to escape for their lives, and there was no fork in the road at all, just like when Shen Jingxue came down alone. Then it can only be explained that something went wrong when Qiu Xuan went down to the tomb.
"Those two students are still at the 'fork in the road.'" Qiu Xuan closed her eyes, reluctantly removed those eyes that were too scary from her mind, and said with a sigh of relief. Shen Jingxue immediately sighed, "It's impossible for us to go back now, so we can only leave them inside first, and then wait for the gang above to go down to the ground and make other plans." I hope they will go back first, alas, and ask for more blessings. β
"Afu."
βοΌβ
Hearing this voice again, Qiu Xuan reflexively swung the knife at the place where the sound came from, and the person seemed to be taken aback, and fell to the ground with a weak foot. "Ahh......h What are you doing, it's me. β
Mischa.
Shen Jingxue was the first to frown, stepped forward and pasted a piece of talisman paper on that person, and then her face looked even more weird.
"It's a living person." He whispered in Qiu Xuan's ear, who glanced at the ground, but still couldn't recover from the shadow of his eyes behind his back and shouting Afu.
"Where have you been?"
"IβI don't know...... As soon as I reacted, you were gone, and I was terrified, and I went down here myself to wait for you to come back......"
