Chapter 149: Death for Life
Be! Mu Yunyi looked at the reliefs of the eight animals on the top wall and said: "This nave is a Qimen Bagua Array, implying Liuyi, Sanqi, Eight Gates and Nine Stars, and Mu Ling's coffin is the Middle Palace. ”
"Then if we can find the corresponding direction of the Shengmen, maybe there is hope that we can go out." Mu Xiu also understood.
"Qian is a horse, Kun is a cow, Zhen is a dragon, Xun is a chicken, Kan is a pig, Li is a pheasant, Gen is a dog, and Dui is a sheep." Mu Yunyi found the corresponding animal and direction and continued: "Rest, life, injury, Du, Jing, shock, death, open, among the eight gates, the birth gate belongs to the earth, the Gen hexagram is the life, and the northeast of the coffin is the birth gate!" Mu Yunyi got up and came to the bottom of the Tengu relief and looked at the corresponding wall. However, there is no stone door in this nave except the arches of the ear chambers on the east and west sides, and if there are no passages in the walls, then they must be on stone ground......
Mu Yunyi squatted down and tapped the floor tiles with her fingers, and sure enough, she soon found the floor tiles with a hollow knocking sound.
"Mu Xiu, there is really an authentic place here!" Mu Yunyi said that he was going to find the mechanism to open this tunnel.
"Wait!" Mu Xiu blocked Mu Yunyi's next move.
"How?"
"This is the underground palace, you can't follow common sense, you must be cautious."
"You mean...... In the underground palace, it is likely that yin and yang are reversed? Mu Yunyi suddenly realized: "Yes, the underground palace is a place where the dead live, where life is death, and death is life." ”
"You go and see if the tiles are different in each direction."
Mu Yunyi nodded, and knocked on the stone bricks under each animal relief, and sure enough, there were eight hollow floor tiles.
"If the door of life is death, then the door of death is life, and the southwest kun hexagram is the door of 'life'." Mu Xiu pointed to the southwest side of the coffin, directly below the cow's head relief.
"That's right, it must be there, but where is the agency." Mu Yunyi was touching the surrounding walls with her fingertips, and there was nothing unusual, and then she came to the coffin in the center.
"Be careful." Mu Xiu was so weak that it was even very difficult to spit out two words.
The outer coffin of Tianying Emperor Mu Ling is made of golden silk nanmu, and the wall is carved with auspicious cloud dragon patterns, and there is nothing special about going around it.
"Do you want to open the coffin?" Mu Yunyi frowned, but at this time, she looked down and saw the jade base of the coffin, and she found that there were eight raised words on the base of the head of the coffin: mountain, earth, wind, thunder, water, fire, wind, and ze.
"Kun Zhedi." Mu Yunyi read silently, stroked the raised word "ground" with her hand, and looked back at Mu Xiu, she was still hesitant about her own inference.
Mu Xiu nodded and motioned for her to let it go.
Looking at Mu Xiu's gaze, Mu Yunyi realized that no matter how dangerous the situation was, as long as he was with Mu Xiu, he could always feel at ease.
She pressed the word "ground" hard, and sure enough, the floor tiles on the southwest side of the coffin began to sink instantly, and soon, a dark passage appeared in front of her eyes.
"Mu Xiu, let's go!" Mu Yunyi went over to help Mu Xiu up, and then she touched the back that had been pressed by Mu Xiu, "Your wound is ......" She realized that the injury on Mu Xiu's body was not as "light" as he said.
"Get out of here first." Mu Xiu tried not to lean all his strength on Mu Yunyi, and moved forward.
Mu Yunyi didn't care much, and went to the tunnel with him. It's pitch black below, and I don't know where it leads, but you can sit and wait in this "temple of death" anyway.
The passage is about two people wide, and after going down dozens of steps, there is a dirt road, and the air is even more dull than in the palace below, Mu Yunyi deliberately took a look, and there were no footprints, supporting Mu Xiu to move forward slowly.
I don't know how long I walked, after several curves and uphill slopes, there was gradually a mist in the passage, and after walking forward for a while, a hole appeared in front of the two, and there was a faint sound of running water inside.
They glanced at each other and stepped into the cave.
"There's water, it looks like we're out." Mu Yunyi couldn't hide her happiness in her words, but Mu Xiu finally couldn't support it anymore, and all the weight was pressed on Mu Yunyi's body, and then slowly slid down.
"Mu Xiu!"
Mu Yunyi only had the opportunity to take a closer look at the injuries on Mu Xiu's body at this time, but when he saw those shocking wounds, a lot of indescribable fear suddenly rose in his heart, Mu Xiu's almost torn out cervical vertebrae, and the extremely deep black blood marks between his back and flanks, Mu Yunyi was very familiar with it, and it was clear that only his own moon killing would create such a vicious and tricky wound......
"It's me...... I did it, didn't I? Mu Yunyi's eyes welled up with tears, and her heart almost collapsed.
"It's not you, it's not your fault...... You're just being controlled by that ghost priest. Mu Xiu let out a hoarse guttural voice.
"No, let's get out of here and go back to the doctor to heal you!" Mu Yunyi wanted to carry Mu Xiu on his back.
Unexpectedly, Mu Xiu blocked, "No, at this hour, the sealing sacrifice of the underground palace has just ended, and there should be Queen Xi's people within a radius of several miles outside, if we go out at this time, it will fall into their hands, and we will leave after dark." ”
"But how can you do this, I don't believe it, who of them dares to touch me!" Mu Yunyi has lost her mind.
Mu Xiu pulled her hand and said: "Once we appear in front of everyone, the crime of trespassing in the underground palace will definitely be planted on you and me, and the way I am now will only drag you down." ”
"I'm not afraid!"
"But I'm afraid, Mu Yunyi, you believe me! I could make it until dark! Mu Xiu yelled at her with almost all his strength.
Mu Yunyi suddenly realized that even though she could defeat those people, she might not be able to protect Mu Xiu, her nose was sour, so she had to give up, "Okay, let's go when it's dark." ”
Mu Yunyi took out the medicinal powder he was carrying, tore off the cloth strip of his clothes, and bandaged Mu Xiu with simple medicine.
Even though Mu Xiu endured it, the moment the end of the medicine touched the wound, it still made him convulse, Mu Yunyi hastily wiped away his tears, and endured the heartache to continue the medicine for him. But such a small packet of medicinal powder was not enough to apply medicine to the wound on the back of Mu Xiu's neck, and there were so many other wounds that she couldn't do it at all, she couldn't imagine how much blood he had shed for so long.
Mu Xiu closed his eyes on Mu Yunyi's lap, Mu Yunyi probed his snort, and found that he was a little relieved because he was sleepy, holding his hand, and not long after he fell asleep against the stone wall of the cave.
I don't know how long it took, Mu Yunyi suddenly woke up from the nightmare, and then saw Mu Xiu's tired but desperately open eyes.
"You're awake, why don't you wake me up?" Mu Yunyi straightened her body.
Mu Xiu barely squeezed out a smile and shook his head.
"Since you're awake, just hold on for a while, don't sleep anymore, I'll be scared, wait a while when it's dark, we'll go, okay?"
Mu Xiu looked at Mu Yunyi and opened his mouth to say something to appease her, but his hoarse throat made him almost unable to make a complete sound, and he tried several times in vain, and finally had to stop opening his mouth in frustration.
