Chapter 66: The Circle

Gently stepping through the broken dragon stone that was originally supported by the stone door inside the door, Liu Wen slowly walked in, and the long corridor slowly went down and extended all the way, and the length seemed to far exceed the scope of the stone hall exposed on the surface. When passing through the center of the stone hall, Liu Wen looked to both sides, only to see the collapsed ruins and broken walls, dust accumulated on the surface of the stone, and some crude broken stone tools were faintly visible. Liu Wen didn't stop, and directly touched it cautiously.

Just when Liu Wen walked down into the depths of the corridor about twenty or thirty meters, a few backpacks suddenly appeared on the ground in front of him, Liu Wen thought about it, this should be what Long Jiushi's gang left here a few years ago, and there is a thin layer of dust on the backpack and on the ground, it seems that no one has come in in the past few years. Thinking of the hidden boulder on the ground, and the stone that was simply pressed at the entrance of the cave, Liu Wen knew that he was right not to choose to escape at the entrance of the cave! There must be the second elder's most trusted henchmen and means guarding it all the time!

Liu Wen looked through the backpack, which contained some vacuum-packed food and water, a few climbing ropes, a few small digging tools, and a small integrated oxygen mask. The battery and two spare flashlights can still be used, Liu Wen cautiously put the flashlight and battery on his body, picked a small sapper shovel and held it in his hand, and put the dagger in the small bag on his waist. After thinking about it, he picked the thinnest and shortest climbing rope and put it on his shoulder.

According to what Long Jiushi said described by Shen Yuan, that time only the three brothers of Long Jiushi escaped from the group! The forty or fifty men and horses of the senior brothers were all confessed to this burial tomb, except for the bone burner above the small altar at the door, the three of them couldn't even take out a single hair! But there wasn't a single corpse here!

Liu Wen's footsteps became more and more cautious, summoning up all his spiritual power and letting it out, carefully perceiving the movement ahead, and his steps became slower and slower.

After traveling about thirty meters again, Liu Wen felt that the air still didn't seem to be dull, as if the air in the entire huge underground cavern had been flowing slowly. Now even the mausoleum carved into the bottom of the cave has air flowing, which is not normal!

Liu Wen thought about it, checked the gas mask on his face, thought about the mini oxygen mask he saw just now, and gave up the idea of coming back, that thing was too small, the oxygen supply time was too short, and it was not very useful. Still holding a sapper shovel in one hand and a flashlight in the other, he walked inside.

Liu Wen, who was on full alert, suddenly stopped, squatted down and carefully observed the position in front of the corridor, the air became more and more dull, and a faint rancid smell emanated, Liu Wen noticed that there were several black shadows lying upside down on the ground of a more spacious arched tomb in front of him. Coupled with the smell of corpses、、、 it seems to be the corpse left by Long Jiushi and his party last time!

The presence of a corpse proves that there is death there Liu Wen thought about the things that Shen Yuan said to her when she showed off. The jade master 、、、 can lay down the jade spirit array, the spirit array is ever-changing, and the acquired formation of the various sects and factions that have been handed down in the world is very different from the acquired formations of various miscellaneous schools of Taoism! The body formation and the formation mastered by his own formation gate are also carried forward from the Central Plains Daomen, and after slowly fusing with the witch Gu pattern embroidery technique of the Southern Wilderness, they began to become a family of their own, but it is still the set of yin and yang and the five elements that are mutually reinforcing. Supplemented by a simple witchcraft curse, it has become the current formation gate.

Liu Wen has the body pattern embroidery inherited in the door, and each person in the formation has a special embroidery inherited in the door, the higher the identity level and the deeper the cultivation, the more and more complex the tattoo array on the body! When Liu Wen was a child, he once saw an elder in the sect who was cultivating in the deep mountains, and it seemed that his whole body, hands and face were covered with dense blue-black Xuanao pattern embroidered body array, and the whole person exuded strange and powerful fluctuations. I almost burst into tears when I looked at the elder behind the Master!

"Master、、、" Liu Wen suddenly remembered the old man he hadn't seen for many years, and his eyes moistened、、、 "Hehe, people in a desperate situation seem to be the most vulnerable, right?" Liu Wen muttered to himself in a low voice. Then he shook his head and walked forward again.

Liu Wen's footsteps were extremely light, little by little, approaching the corpse lying on the ground, and more corpses were vaguely exposed around him, Liu Wen looked carefully, the skin and flesh on the corpse had not completely decayed, and wisps were attached to the bones. The clothes on his body can be seen to be modern styles, and a faint but disgusting smell of corpses has not yet dissipated.

It seems that this is the batch of earth rats that Long Jiushi brought in last time, Liu Wen raised his flashlight and looked into the depths of the corridor、、、、、、 only to see a corpse lying on the ground as far as he could see, and there were some weapons and tools and flashlights scattered next to the corpse. But the strange thing is that these corpses can't see any panic and abnormality at the moment before they die! It's as if everyone suddenly collapsed in an instant!

Liu Wen's hairs stood up、、、、、、 here、、、 is this already within the range of the killing array laid by the Jade Connoisseur?"

In the depths of the silent and dark corridor of the cemetery, a few inaudible cracking sounds sounded, and it seemed that the air in the entire tomb was shaking in an instant!

Liu Wen, who was still hesitating at the arched tomb coupons in the corridor, suddenly felt that the piece of spiritual jade he was wearing instantly had a strange fluctuation! Then、、、 that creepy inexplicable feeling suddenly dissipated!

At the altar outside the door, the corners of the mouth of the second elder, who had been closing his eyes and recuperating his mind, curled slightly.

Shen Budo lay quietly on a hardwood bed, his face was bruised and his face was bruised, and his whole person looked like he was about to stand up at first glance. Since he got into the car of the Five Immortals Sect at the highway toll booth, Shen Budo has not been comfortable for a minute.

In fact, on the night of leaving the Great Black Temple, the car that the Five Immortals Sect picked up Shen Budo hadn't driven out for ten minutes, and Shen Budo sprayed a mouthful of blood on the back of the front seat, and then the person passed out.

At that time, the people who came to escort the Five Immortals Sect were also in a hurry, and they were busy with massage and medicine for a long time before they finally stabilized this guy's injury, and when Shen Budo woke up, he found that he was quietly placed in this simple stone house, shouted twice, and no one paid attention to him, just when he struggled to get up and wanted to go out to find someone、、、、、、 a cold voice sounded on the side!

"Lie down honestly, this seat just helped you get rid of the blood in the five organs, the five girls gave you the medicine of the old ginseng configuration, you honestly sleep on the cold stone bed for three days and then get up to move, 、、、otherwise, the medicinal power of the old ginseng will burn your foundation and leave hidden dangers!"

Shen Budo was shocked and turned his head to look at the location of the sound in the corner of the room. Sure enough, there were two quaint stone piers in the corner of the house, and Hu Xiaomei, whose top was no bigger than the size of a bowl in the sea, but her expression was cold, but she was sitting cross-legged on them, meditating with her feet to the sky.

Shen Budo paused and asked, "Dare to ask, but Hu Xian's family?" ”

"Nonsense!"

Shen Budo honestly climbed back to the cold stone bed, didn't dare to lie down, and sat down cross-legged like Hu Xian's family, and as soon as he sat down, he only felt like he was sitting on a piece of ice that would not melt for thousands of years. Chrysanthemum seemed to feel a pang of pain、、、、、、

"Fox Fairy Family 、、、"

"Huh?"

"How long has the little one been asleep?"

"Not much, five days."

"Oh! Yes? Shen Budo was taken aback! I felt my body carefully、Suddenly! The stomach sounded like thunder, and the strange feeling of falling from above and down in his abdomen made him want to die like a flood beast that suddenly woke up、、、, "Ah! The immortal family 、、、 small 、、、" Shen Budo grabbed his ass and hurriedly crawled under the cold stone bed.

The fox fairy family pursed the corners of his mouth in disgust, and his eyes never opened.

Shen Budo ran out of the room and went to look for the toilet.

The moonlight faintly reflected into the old room, and there seemed to be a thin layer of white mist floating in the room without lights, and the pair of good-looking eyebrows on the fox fairy's face suddenly raised gently! There was a faint green light flashing in his open eyes、、、、、、 "The formation is broken?" 、、、、、、Hehehe、、、、、、 the show is about to begin! ”

Liu Wen was standing in an empty stone hall at this time, with two withered corpses at his feet, and as far as the eye could see, there were neatly cut granite walls and vaults. Behind her、、、 dozens of similar corpses lay down densely, Liu Wen followed the instructions of the second elder, ignored the four stone doors that appeared on both sides along the way, and went straight to the inside of this stone hall. It wasn't until here, that the road, which was almost paved with corpses, came to an end! Liu Wen subconsciously felt that the bead that the second elder was looking for should be here.

As a disciple of the Formation Gate, Liu Wen knew how terrifying those characters who were proficient in the formation in the legend were! Invisible and invisible, without a trace, or killing people in the invisible or stirring the avenue and formation of heaven and earth! What is manipulated is the balance of energy operation, and all things in heaven and earth, life and life are disillusioned, and they follow constant rules. This is the way of heaven! And those who control and arrange the formation are all going against the sky! Or accelerate the flow of energy, or block the flow of energy, the most terrible! It is to completely cut off or hoard the energy fortune of a place, a moment, or even a person and a family!

Looking at the scene here, coupled with the fact that Long Jiushi revealed some details of the year, it is clear that Long Jiushi and his gang triggered a magic circle that had been hidden here for an unknown number of years!

The purpose of this kind of magic circle is different, but without exception, it is to break the momentum and accumulate momentum as a means. Or sort it out, or use it to unleash the murderer! But those who dare to lay out this kind of formation are all masters of the world without exception!

Liu Wen closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths of rancid air, fortunately, not too depressed. It's just that through the gas mask, you can still smell the faint stench unique to the carrion, which is a bit boring.

After carefully perceiving it for a long time, Liu Wen made sure that he didn't notice any abnormal energy fluctuations around him, turned over his hand and pulled out the jade seal that Shen Yuan gave her from the clothes on his chest、、、 muttered in his mouth: "I don't know what the ending will be if I move forward, your ancestors don't know how many years ago laid out the hand, it's really terrifying!" This kind of anti-heaven array, false and real, true and false、、、 I can't find any context, so I can only try my luck! You're going to have to work hard、、、、、、"

After making up his mind, Liu Wen checked his belongings, clenched his flashlight, and walked towards the depths of the stone hall.

The large stone hall is interspersed with stone pillars that have been hewn out to support the roof of the cave, and every short distance there are stone lampposts that are one person high, indicating that between the two rows of lampposts is the way forward. In fact, in the real underground tomb ruins, there will never be too gorgeous and complicated carvings, after all, the social productive forces in ancient times were placed there.

Hand-carved all kinds of relics, more or according to the natural topography of nature to build and rebuild. Only those powerful heroes of the generation can level the land and build momentum, relying on the thousands of laborers who have been requisitioned and sent to dig huge mausoleums on the earth, concentrate on building and burying them layer by layer、、、、、

In the end, the craftsmen who built the core burial chamber were slaughtered and buried, and everything in the tomb was hidden in the change of dynasty. And those folk legends that seal craftsmen in mausoleums, and even craftsmen who will secretly leave escape secret passages are even more nonsense!

Many times, the craftsmen who built the core burial chamber were deaf and dumb in the throat! Every move is watched by the Empire's most loyal guards, who are usually not even qualified to enjoy the precious poisoned wine, and are killed by the guards when the tomb is built! Bury other places、、、、、、

Those concubines and even important ministers who are not favored in the harem can rarely get the qualifications to accompany the burial of the emperor's mausoleum, let alone some lowly craftsmen? There is not necessarily a place for their burial in the burial pit, I am afraid that the mass grave in the desert is their final destination!

Shen Yuan once mentioned in a casual chat with Liu Wenshen that if any dizzy emperor really sealed a group of craftsmen alive in his mausoleum, I am afraid that the first thing those hopeless craftsmen and people would do was to smash open the stone door of the underground palace before being suffocated to death, and dig out the corpse of the emperor who killed them in the coffin. In the end, it can be regarded as a solution to hatred, right? It is not difficult to speculate with these thoughts, which emperor could allow such a thing to happen?

Liu Wen, who couldn't see any clues of the formation around him, was thinking about cheering himself up and walked out of seventy or eighty meters, Liu Wen suddenly found that there were still things left in the bowl-shaped grooves on the top of those lampposts. If you look closely, it looks like a dead branch mixed with unknown fibers, and it should be a burning light.

But at the touch of the sapper's shovel, the pile of things fell apart, and the years had already reduced them to something like dust. Liu Wen thought for a while, and found an iron pot in a backpack looted from the dead body behind him, which was full of a pot of refined kerosene for lighters. It's also a great thing for wilderness exploration, and if you have a suitable combustible material as a wick, it can provide a stable burning time. In case of emergency, it can be used to fuel instantly.

Liu Wen carefully poured a little kerosene into the pile of dead branch fibers that were already extremely fragile in front of a lamppost, and then took out a lighter and ignited it. It's always right to take a few quick steps back and be cautious, who knows if there's any foreshadowing in the lamp bowl? If you are smoked by the poisonous smoke of I don't know how many years ago, it's really not worth it!

The flames burst into flames, then staggered and bounced a few times, and then began to burn steadily. Liu Wen felt that there was no abnormality, so he approached the lamp bowl to observe the speed at which the pile of things turned into ashes under the help of kerosene, Liu Wen was pleasantly surprised to find that the burning speed of this wick after adding kerosene was very slow, and it seemed that it could last at least half an hour or so!

Liu Wen pulled out two torches that had just been made on the side of the backpack and inserted the slightly longer one back into the side of the backpack. He poured a lot of kerosene over the clothes wrapped around the top of a torch and lit it, and checked the remaining cans of kerosene. Then Liu Wen turned off the precious flashlight to save power, lit a lamppost at intervals, and gradually walked into the depths of this huge stone hall underneath!

The fluttering lights lined up behind Liu Wen, and Liu Wen stood quietly in front of a semicircular platform, which was very empty. There are already black stone walls all around, and there is no road!

Liu Wen carefully circled around the stone platform with a torch, making sure that this seemed to be the end of this tomb underneath, and strangely enough, no coffins had been found so far! After using a strong flashlight to investigate, there seemed to be several depressions in the back of the semicircular stone platform, and it was not clear for a while.

The innermost side of the stone platform seems to enshrine something in the shape of a stone letter、、、 Liu Wen has estimated for a long time that the scale of this mausoleum has far exceeded his imagination. If those tunnel-like existences lead to a few unknown deeper tombs, it would be really terrifying! It is comparable to the remains of ancient human civilization like the pyramids of Egypt! Could this be true?

Liu Wen stood in front of the stone platform, turned on the flashlight, looked at the stone letter-like thing placed on a low stone pedestal, thought about it, put down the flashlight torch and backpack, stood there quietly, gently took off the thick top, then the shirt、、、、、、 and finally only a narrow and tight short vest.

Liu Wen gently raised his palms, his palms turned slightly outward, and looked at the strange stone letter from afar. He muttered in a low voice、、、、、、 only to see a simple black tattoo wrapped around Liu Wen's arms at each of his wrists, extending to his shoulders, and the front chest in the vest, through the ribs, and at the back of the neck, converged into a mysterious figure! Then it extends down the spine and disappears into the waist、、、、、、

Liu Wen's hands shook! In the flickering light of the torches from the bottom up, some new tattoo lines suddenly appeared in the tattoos on the two arms! A few simple lines connected and suddenly changed the graphic charm of the original tattoo, and Liu Wen's hands continued to tremble、、、、、、

Suddenly! The lines that emerged dissipated without a trace, and Liu Wen opened his frightened eyes and took a few steps back sharply. Staring at the depths of the stone platform! His mouth subconsciously said, "How is it possible?" How can it be? Is it 、、、、、、 Hell in Yellow Springs? ”

Outside the tomb, next to the altar, the second elder sat with his eyes closed, staring at the depths of the tomb with his eyes open! He laughed a few times with "hehe" in his mouth、、、、、、 "Are you afraid?" Hehehe、、、 those four coffins can really send people to hell! Hehehehehehe、、、"

Liu Wen fell to his knees in the depths of the cave, embarrassed, sweat dripping down his skin and onto the hard stones. She's gasping for air! Just now, Liu Wen launched the secret technique of the Formation Gate with all his might, intending to communicate with the spiritual array hidden under this stone platform!

If you can get the approval of the Spirit Array, or simply find that this Jade Appreciation Master's Jade Spirit Array has completely dissipated! Liu Wen would climb the stone platform to investigate carefully, but just when Liu Wen carefully perceived it, the entire stone platform suddenly turned into a cave spitting out faint blue flames in Liu Wen's mind! Endless deaths and resentments erupted、、、、、、 mixed with hopeless wails and the sound of flames burning through the air!

Man is born to fear death! All souls 、、、 born and fear death!
