Chapter 377: Hunting
The reason why He Changqing was able to judge that this was the attic representing Tianshu was because the seven brightest stars that could have been seen suddenly went out, and only the one that represented Tianshu was still shining.
The position of Tianshu Star is on the wall on the right, and when He Changqing stepped forward, it was instantly extinguished, He Changqing stepped forward, touched the stone representing Tianshu Star, and said: "I will dig out the stone, you be careful, if there is anything wrong, you will go up immediately." ”
Wei Chiran and Zhou Xianwei just stood at the bottom of the entrance and waited, ready to drag He Changqing back at any time, and then be the first to send him up.
Who knew that the moment He Changqing pulled the stone down, the exit above suddenly closed, and the entire attic suddenly lit up with white light, stabbing people's eyes and unable to open them.
The three of them immediately took off their night vision devices, because wearing night vision devices to see these bright lights would cause double the damage to their eyes.
However, by the time they took it down, it was too late, the three of them were no longer visible, and the bright light was fleeting, as if someone had thrown a large number of flashbangs into the enclosed environment.
Wei Chiran was still covering his eyes, He Changqing closed his eyes and leaned against the corner, and Zhou Xianwei loudly calmed them down, telling them not to panic, calm down, and they would be able to see it in a while.
But after waiting for five minutes, it was still dark in front of the three of them.
Wei Chiran groped around: "It's over, we must be blind." ”
Zhou Xianwei closed his eyes again: "No, it won't be blind in an instant, we have to be calm, we must be calm." ”
At this moment, the two of them heard the sound of the switch, and then saw the light, and they both subconsciously turned their heads away, and then heard He Changqing's voice: "Idiot! If you don't turn on the lights, of course you can't see it! ”
Only then did Wei Chiran and Zhou Xianwei realize that after being flashed before, the surroundings were dark again, so they couldn't see anything when they opened their eyes after their eyesight recovered.
He Changqing got up: "Are your brains full of tofu dregs!?" ”
Wei Chiran hurriedly said: "I'm sorry......"
Zhou Xianwei didn't dare to wear a night vision device, so he had to shine a flashlight: "And then?" Is the entrance open? ”
He Changqing shook his head: "No, but I saw some clues." ”
Zhou Xianwei asked: "Clues?" See? What do you mean? ”
He Changqing said: "After being blinded by the flash before, I opened my eyes slightly and saw a little light, like fluorescence, right over there. ”
As he spoke, He Changqing pointed to the opposite corner: "When I looked over, the light quickly disappeared again, so I speculated that the clues could only be seen in a short time after the moment when the vision was restored after the sudden blindness." ”
Wei Chi was on the verge of collapse: "You don't want us to do it again, do you?" ”
He Changqing got up slowly: "This time it's me, you all close your eyes." ”
Zhou Xianwei immediately said: "Mr. He, you are old, and your eyes can't stand the toss, so let me come." ”
He Changqing's face was calm: "I said, you have to listen to me after you come down, what I tell you to do, you have to do it." ”
Wei Chiran and Zhou Xianwei had no choice but to obey, hide in the corner, close their eyes and wait.
He Changqing re-inlaid the stone, and after the inlay was completed, he turned back and told the two to get ready, and then took the stone off again.
After the stone was taken down for the second time, the strong light lit up again, and He Changqing's eyes were blinded after being irradiated by the strong light, but this time he immediately tried to open his eyes and look at the previous corner, and finally saw the glowing pattern in the position clearly, and then gritted his teeth and stumbled forward, who knew that before he got closer, he fell directly because of dizziness.
Zhou Xianwei and Wei Chi heard the sound of falling, immediately opened their eyes, stepped forward to help He Changqing, who knew that He Changqing pushed the two away, held on to the wall and began to vomit.
After He Changqing finished spitting up, he opened his already red eyes, squatted down and drew a range in the previous position with his hand: "Find a gap in this range, it's a square entrance, I ......"
Before he finished speaking, He Changqing began to vomit again, Zhou Xianwei hurriedly patted him on the back, while Wei Chiran took out a dagger to find a gap, and after finding it, he used a tool to pry open the edge of the gap, and then opened the entrance to the next floor.
The three of them looked at the pale yellow light coming from below the entrance and guessed what the next floor would be.
When Zhou Xianwei was about to go down, he was blocked by He Changqing raising his hand: "Yi Xue believes that Tianshu is a Zhixing, and Taoism believes that Tianshu Xing, that is, the Greedy Wolf Star King, will bring peace, so the hint at the entrance of the seventh layer is light, and light is the meaning of hope." ”
Wei Chiran said, "Master, do you mean that each layer below has to look for clues according to the meaning of its own star representatives?" ”
He Changqing, who closed his eyes and rested, said: "That's right, that's what it means." ”
Zhou Xianwei didn't understand the stars, but said, "This price is too big, right?" ”
"Big?" He Changqing smiled reluctantly, "Is this a big price?" This is just the beginning, there are still six floors, and perhaps more brutal trials await us below. ”
Wei Chiran walked down the stairs first, while Zhou Xianwei supported He Changqing to follow.
The sixth floor as a whole looks like the inside of a pen holder, surrounded by bookshelves, which are piled with ancient books, most of which are bamboo slips and thread-bound books. There is also a desk in the middle, on which is placed pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and next to the desk, a chair is placed.
He Changqing's eyes were still very uncomfortable, he sat on the side of the stairs to rest, and at the same time said: "Don't touch anything here, observe first, tell me what this place looks like, what is there." ”
Wei Chiran looked around, described the appearance of the sixth layer to He Changqing, and said: "This is like a study, will it represent the Tianquan in the Big Dipper, that is, the Tianquan Palace Wenqu Xingjun?" ”
He Changqing nodded effortlessly: "Judging from the furnishings in the house, it should be like this, but don't jump to conclusions." ”
Because of the lesson of the upper Heavenly Pivot Star, Wei Chiran and Zhou Xianwei did not dare to act rashly, and they were even cautious when they walked around to check.
Wei Chiran looked at the four fixed bookshelves around him, each of which contained various books, because he didn't dare to act rashly, he could only look closer, but he didn't dare to get started, for fear of triggering some mechanism.
Zhou Xianwei didn't understand these things at all, and after watching it for a while, he had to return to He Changqing's side, help him wipe his eyes, and put eye drops on him, hoping to relieve it, because He Changqing was their main force.
Standing in front of the bookshelf, the lieutenant began to slowly retreat, retreated to the position of the table, circled again, came to the back of the table, and stared at the bookshelf directly in front of him.
He Changqing's eyes improved, but he still couldn't see it very clearly, and when he saw Wei Chi standing there looking straight ahead, he asked, "What did you find?" ”
Wei Chiran pointed to the bookshelf and said, "The books on the four bookshelves are only two colors, black and white, there must be some purpose for this, right?" ”
He Changqing tried to look at the bookshelf, but all he saw was a ghost, so he had to say: "It's up to you this time, my eyes haven't recovered yet, and my head hurts." ”
Zhou Xianwei is also a clever person, and when he heard this, he hurriedly stood behind He Changqing and massaged his head, hoping to relieve He Changqing's pain.
Wei Chiran just nodded silently, because he also had a headache, although there was an opening in the upper Tianshu Star Tower, but from top to bottom, there was no direct air, so there was still not enough air in this underground evil suppression tower, which could only barely enough for the three of them to breathe, and once the amount of exercise was too large, it would cause a lack of oxygen.
●
Not far from the tomb of Mrs. Li, Sun Haoyang, who had been released, was guarding there with Wang Xiaolong and his men. To say that Sun Haoyang is not stupid, when he calmed down and thought about it, he immediately understood what he was wrong, and then he came to the opposite mountain and easily found the big pit where the evil suppression tower was located.
Sun Haoyang, who was standing at the entrance, smiled, and Wang Xiaolong and his subordinates were also surprised, especially after Sun Haoyang explained that there was a tower below, and they felt extremely bizarre.
Sun Haoyang squatted there and said: "Xia Shi, who escaped back then, took the technology of the Iron Clothes Gate, and combined with the funds and manpower of the imperial court at that time, he painted a gourd to build the Evil Suppression Tower. ”
Wang Xiaolong asked, "Master, do you mean that once you go down, you will go and never return?" ”
Sun Haoyang shook his head: "No, it's just very dangerous, but it's not like there is no return." ”
Wang Xiaolong asked, "Then what did you mean by what you just said?" ”
Sun Haoyang just wanted to use Wang Xiaolong, so he wouldn't tell him the truth.
Xia Shi stole the Ding Jiaju and defected to the Tieyi Gate, and took refuge in the Ming Dynasty at that time, which caused a sensation in the heretical way, and most of the heretical sects and people supported the Tieyi Gate to clean up the portal, but no matter how powerful the heretical sect was, it was absolutely unrealistic to directly confront the imperial court, so the Tieyi Gate could only endure and look for opportunities.
And after Xia Shi finished using the Ding Jia Pot, if he didn't want the Iron Cloth Gate or others to find this thing, he could directly destroy the Ding Jia Pot, there was no need to hide this thing at all, and there was no need for the imperial court to help build a demon suppression tower to hide clues.
Therefore, Sun Haoyang is sure that although there are many mechanisms in the evil suppression tower, there must be a way to crack it, and what he has to do now is only one word, that is, wait.
As one of the sixteen sons of the Taishan Hall of the Iron Cloak Gate, he knew very well that there was only one way to leave the Evil Suppression Tower, and he only needed to wait here for the rabbit.
However, what worries him the most is, what is the clue hidden in this evil tower?
If it's just a piece of text, then the next thing is trouble, he would like it to be an object, so that as long as he gets that object, he has a 50% chance of winning.
Just as the so-called praying mantis catches cicadas and yellow finches behind, just when Sun Haoyang took Wang Xiaolong and his subordinates to wait for rabbits in the deep pit, two men dressed like donkey friends quietly walked out of the woods, one stood on the tree, and the other stood under the tree, staring coldly at Sun Haoyang and Wang Xiaolong and others below.
