Chapter 36: The Tomb of the Living Dead
Qin Yunuan clearly remembered that the fire fold she picked up was only half left, and the port had been thoroughly infiltrated, and it was difficult to ignite, but this one was only a complete one, and it looked brand new.
Leng Changxi was also surprised, his feet moved, and he seemed to have kicked something again, and when he picked it up, there was an inexplicable extra torch on the originally empty stone platform, and the head of the torch still had a fresh smell of kerosene, which looked like it was freshly made.
Seeing this, Qin Yunuan couldn't help but gasp, what does this mean, this can only mean that there are other people here, it is someone other than Chen Jingrui, a person who has been hidden in this tomb-like weapons factory.
Leng Changxi tugged Qin Yunuan's hand, and the eyes of both of them were staring at the endless darkness in front of them, they knew that the person who gave them the fire fold and torch was hiding in that darkness, and giving them these two things was to let them in.
Suddenly, an ethereal sound came from the empty hallway.
"Now that they're all in, let's go inside."
This voice came from the endless darkness, like a woman's voice, but it was so faint that it made people feel like they were in a dream.
Leng Changxi and Qin Yunuan glanced at each other, and determined with each other that they had indeed heard the voice just now, and compared to the outside, it seemed to be safer inside, after all, if people wanted to kill them, why would they give them the tools to move forward?
Leng Changxi quickly lit the torch, a ball of firelight illuminated the darkness that could not be seen, under the backdrop of the firelight, Qin Yunuan could see that Leng Changxi was still weak, it should have been evening outside, there was no light to penetrate in, and in the entire space, there was only this small ball of firelight.
"Don't be afraid," Leng Changxi took Qin Yunuan's hand and comforted, "I'm here." โ
Qin Yunuan shrunk her neck and whispered "um".
The two of them advanced along the deep and dark corridor, because of the wetness of the mountain and the infiltration of rain, the corridor was full of rainwater wherever there were potholes, and if they accidentally stepped into it, their shoes were all wet, and along the way, the two of them were wet until the trousers, Qin Yunuan has been carefully observing the murals on the wall, this is a very old mural, she has seen it in the ancestral hall of the Qin family, it looks no different, they are all murals used to pray for blessings and peace, but the question is, this is an arms factory, who needs to pray for peace?
At the end of the corridor, a stone door gradually appeared, but when it was still a few steps away from the stone door, Qin Yunuan stumbled but almost fell, Leng Changxi reached out to help, and the torch in his hand happened to shine on Qin Yunuan's wet trousers, and the water stains that spread all the way to the knees suddenly made the two of them stunned.
Is this water red?
Leng Changxi was stunned for a moment, took off a torch from the wall, and walked out of the corridor, it was already a lot dry, this torch was fortunately still lit a little light, he lit three or four torches one after another, and then threw it towards the corridor where they came all the way, and suddenly the corridor was lit up, under the light of those clusters of torches, it was a sea of red, Qin Yunuan watched that the road he came to was full of blood-red stagnant water, and his heart seemed to have a wind passing through the hall, and it was cold;
At this moment, the stone door, which had been tightly closed, suddenly creaked open a small crack, and an incomparably clear female voice came from inside.
"You don't have to look at it, it's just the red soil on the mountain washed down, although we are a tomb here, but except for the person lying in the crystal coffin, no one else has died."
This voice is the woman who guided Qin Yunuan and Leng Changxi forward just now, but what does the tomb in her mouth mean, isn't this an weapons factory? Also, who could be lying in the crystal coffin? Who would have the ability to build their tomb in such a mysterious place, in this armory?
A warm wind floated out from the crack in the stone door, which seemed to be mixed with a faint warm fragrance, in such a gloomy environment, this feeling of warming people's hearts is undoubtedly a demagogic poison, Qin Yunuan stepped forward, stretched out his hand to open the stone door, but his fingertips only touched this gap, and the stone door opened widely, as if to welcome the arrival of Leng Changxi and Qin Yunuan.
"Come in." The female voice in it is more real.
Stepping in, unlike Qin Yunuan's imagination, it was not a place like the eerie tomb of the living dead, the air inside was warm and suitable, and there was a little gentle light of orange huรกng'sรจ in the distance.
Before Leng Changxi left, Qin Yunuan was behind, the hands of the two were always held tightly, and there was no one inside, but the woman's voice obviously came from here.
Leng Changxi raised his head slightly, and shouted to the innermost: "I wonder if the sister who showed us the way is here?" โ
No one answered.
Leng Changxi and Qin Yunuan glanced at each other, Leng Changxi arched his hand to the air and said, "Leng Changxi, in Xia Daqi, bring his wife Qin Yunuan here." โ
"Why bother talking nonsense." The other party's voice is decisive, like a generation of women in the world.
Qin Yunuan stared at the place that emitted a warm light, and her intuition told her that someone was there.
Sure enough, a shadow that had been dragged slowly approached this side, and the shadow became shorter and shorter, until a black skirt appeared in Qin Yunuan's sight, and a girl with a long figure and a weak body appeared at the entrance of the cave in the distance, her eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, but her face was as pale as the sun she had never seen, and there was no blood at all, if she didn't move, it was like a corpse, making people feel that this beauty was close to death.
This woman, Mo is not
"Hu Shi Niang?" Leng Changxi's first thought was that he and Qin Yunuan met Hu Shi Niang when they settled in Devil City, that is, the proprietress who originally introduced him to participate in the samurai competition, although Qin Yunuan's eyes were not good at that time, he probably remembered Hu Shi Niang's appearance, and then, in Beidi Dadu, when Yan Su invited them to get together, he also met a proprietress who was exactly the same as Hu Shi Niang, these people, are they the same person, or
"Come in." The girl in black glanced at Leng Changxi and Qin Yunuan indifferently, her eyes were unhappy, but her tone was as easy-going as if she were an old friend.
Qin Yunuan and Leng Changxi hurriedly followed, both of them were a little dignified, and suddenly, they knew too many incredible things.
The further they went, the brighter the lights became, and the girl in black walked in front without saying a word, and did not know where to take them;
"By the way, what did you just call me?" The girl in black didn't reply, and suddenly asked Leng Changxi.
"Hu Shi Niang" Leng Changxi replied tentatively, "She is an old friend who has helped me, and she has an eight-point relationship with the girl." โ
"I know," the girl in black suddenly turned her head, "it's not an octant, it's exactly the same." โ
"Could this sister be Hu Shi Niang's sister?" Qin Yunuan asked in a low voice, the girl in black had a gentle voice, it seemed that although she had a cold expression, she was also a good person to get along with.
"I don't have sisters like them." The girl in black was also silent when she was angry.
"They?" Qin Yunuan asked rhetorically.
The girl in black choked up, turned back, and pointed forward: "We're almost there." โ
At this time, Qin Yunuan found that the three of them had unconsciously walked to the edge of a cliff, it is not very accurate to say that it is a cliff, it is just a protruding platform, and the bottom is an abyss, which is bottomless, and in the middle of this abyss, there is a transparent and crystal-beautiful rectangular coffin, and there seems to be a person lying inside, but it is too far away to see clearly.
The girl in black suddenly knelt down towards the crystal coffin several feet away, and said reverently: "Master, I brought the person you wanted, you should rest in peace, you don't have to be afraid of your great idea no one knows, they have passed through the various levels of the Savage Valley, dodged the heavy attacks of the art of war array, and opened the broken dragon gate, they are enough to follow your wisdom and kindness, master, you can rest in peace." โ
Qin Yunuan was stunned for a moment, she didn't know what the reason was here, but it was always a little abrupt to inexplicably regard her and Leng Changxi as the inheritors of the people in this crystal coffin.
"This sister." Qin Yunuan asked sideways, but was interrupted by this woman named Amo, who said to Qin Yunuan with an extremely proud attitude: "You are lucky, now, as long as you find a way to go to the crystal coffin in the middle and kowtow to my master three times, the key in her hand will automatically fall off, and that key will open an incomparably powerful world for you, and then, you will stay here like me, and continue to fight for the wisdom and career of your master's life, how lucky you are, Do you know how many people can't get in if they want to? โ
Qin Yunuan immediately understood, this person lying in the crystal coffin was using the various challenges of the Savage Valley and the Terracotta Array to choose the most qualified successor for himself, if Qin Yunuan guessed correctly, the person in the crystal coffin was the woman who was described as godlike - Chen Guan.
Leng Changxi glanced at Mo, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly: "Those people who are for power are indeed scrambling to come in, but when I look at the people inside, I may not be comfortable, the so-called people outside want to come in, and the people inside want to go out, that's it." โ
"But everyone who goes out is dead." Amo's tone was unpleasant.
"Are you talking about Hu Shi Niang? And the Du family lady in the tavern? Leng Changxi said with a smile.
"They don't deserve to be called people, these two guys should be like me, quietly guarding their masters and guarding our careers, but they can't bear the loneliness and secretly run out, they should have died miserably." Amo gritted his teeth.
"But they didn't, and they're alive and well." Leng Changxi seems to be deliberately provoking Amo, "They are now in the outside world, enjoying the most wonderful life, but you have been in this tomb of the living dead for more than thirty years. โ
