Chapter 413: Seven Star Lanterns
The problem that Sun Haoyang appeared here seems to have been solved, but the biggest problem in front of him is not yet clueless, that is, how to continue to move forward and enter the torture cave?
He Changqing took out his mobile phone and found that there was no signal, and other external communication equipment was completely ineffective, and even the last way to ask 517 for help was broken.
There is no other way but to find a way to move on.
Hou Zhenbang's head was so big that he didn't think out how to crack the unsolvable mechanism below, so he simply sat there, took out his chess and started playing chess with Tuxingsun. He Changqing didn't seem to be anxious, he sat there and set up the stove to boil water, and actually planned to make tea and drink.
Wei Chi stepped forward to collect Sun Haoyang's body, but was stopped by He Changqing: "Don't move the body, where you die, you can put it there, this was originally a torture pit, and it is a cemetery." ”
Wei Chiran said: "You also said, this is the torture cave." ”
He Changqing still said: "Even if his body is taken out, Zhenbang will report to the Iron Yimen, and I am afraid that he will not even be able to keep the whole corpse at that time." ”
Wei Chi looked at Hou Zhenbang, but Hou Zhenbang just snorted coldly.
The lieutenant had no choice but to return to the suspension bridge and continue to study below. If you want to get to the crack in the wall, the only way is to jump from the side, jump towards the crack in the wall, get as close as possible, and swim there as fast as you can. But the problem is that there is a corpse snake below, once it falls, it will definitely be bitten like that spider, even if the corpse snake does not bite, there is a poisonous swamp below, and there is poison in the water, and it is a dead end to go down.
Thinking of this, Wei Chi took out the strong light and illuminated the wall next to him, and found that there were lamps on the wall, and the lamps were arranged in a strange and untidy position.
Seeing this, Wei Chiran said, "Master, there is a lamp on the wall, do you see it?" ”
He Changqing didn't raise his head: "I've seen it a long time ago." ”
He Changqing's answer and his reaction made Wei Chi realize that maybe He Changqing had discovered something a long time ago, but he deliberately didn't say it, was it testing him?
Wei Chiran looked at the lanterns on the left wall, counted a total of seven, and suddenly thought: "Master, do the seven lanterns represent the seven stars of the Big Dipper, I look at the arrangement is also very similar!" ”
He Changqing just raised his eyes and looked at Wei Chiran, continued to drink his tea, and didn't intervene to say anything. On the contrary, Hou Zhenbang became interested, walked to Wei Chiran's side and watched, and then said: "It is indeed the Big Dipper, how can you ignore this." ”
Wei Chiran said again: "Since it is a lamp, do you want to light it?" But, after hundreds of years, is there still lamp oil? ”
Hou Zhenbang doesn't think it's a problem: "Many large tombs have everlasting lamps, and it is not uncommon for them to continue to light for thousands of years, although future generations don't know what the lamp oil in the lantern is made of and how it is stored." ”
However, they are still some distance from the front, how can they ignite it?
When he touched his back, he remembered that the ghost general was carrying a crossbow behind his back, thinking of this, he immediately walked up to the ghost general, turned his armor over, and took off the crossbow: "Use this." ”
He Changqing raised his eyes and looked at Wei Chiran: "Finally use my brain." ”
Wei Chiran was sure that in fact, He Changqing really knew everything, and he just did it on purpose.
So, is He Changqing also aware of his speculation about Sun Haoyang? Since he knew so well, the reason why he killed Sun Haoyang must be to kill people and kill people? The more Wei Chiran thought about it, the more frightened he became, he didn't know what kind of person He Changqing was.
Doesn't Lao He know what He Changqing is like? Still don't figure out what he's trying to do? Let He Changqing come out, no, what is the reason why He Changqing went to 517 ten years ago to surrender?
He Changqing saw that Wei was distracted and asked, "What do you think?" ”
Wei Chi came back to his senses: "It's nothing. ”
He took out the crossbow arrow from the ghost general's body, and found that the arrow was specially made, and it burned with a little fire, and it seemed that the arrow was also made of the kind of oil shale that He Changqing said before. Unfortunately, there were only seven arrows, and if one of them missed, it would not be able to light the seven lamps.
Wei Chiran is more good at shooting, and fortunately, it is a crossbow, which is more convenient to aim.
At the moment when the lieutenant raised his crossbow and was about to shoot, he put it down again.
Hou Zhenbang immediately asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Wei Chiran subconsciously looked at He Changqing, but saw He Changqing holding a stone in his hand, and that posture gave Wei Chiran the feeling as if he was going to knock down the crossbow in his hand.
Wei Chiran also felt that it was too simple to light the seven lamps at will?
He Changqing glared at Wei Chiran, and let Wei Chiran understand that his hesitation was right, he couldn't make a decision so casually, and he couldn't act impulsively as soon as his brain was hot, he had to think about it carefully, there must be other things in it that he ignored.
Why is the lantern here in the order of the Big Dipper, and it was also the Big Dipper in the evil town tower before, will there be any connection between this? Wei Chi was not sure, so he simply asked He Changqing.
He Changqing said: "That's right, you have to think more about everything, why is it related?" It's because the clue of the Evil Suppression Tower points here, and this place must be connected to something in the Evil Suppression Tower, what is the connection between this? That's the order in which the lights are lit. ”
Wei Chi nodded, and looked at the lamp on the wall again: "Tianshu, Tianxuan, Tianji, Tianquan, Yuheng, Kaiyang, and Shaoguang, if I remember correctly, the order we are in the Evil Suppression Tower from top to bottom should be Tianshu, Tianquan, Kaiyang, Tianxuan, Tianji, Yuheng and Shaoguang." ”
Because Hou Zhenbang didn't participate in the previous search for clues, he didn't understand what Wei Chiran was talking about, so he just stood next to him and listened quietly.
He Changqing didn't interject, and the expression on his face didn't change at all.
Seeing this, Wei Chiran raised his crossbow to shoot, but the corner of his eye glanced at the stone that He Changqing was still holding in his hand, and from this alone, he judged that he was still wrong.
Wei Chiran put down the crossbow again, and Hou Zhenbang asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Wei Chi pondered for a moment and said, "We walked from the top to the bottom of the Evil Suppression Tower, and the lights here are from the bottom up, and I haven't figured out what each lamp represents. ”
Wei Chiran looked ashamed, but He Changqing glared at him fiercely, Wei Chiran hurriedly lit the strong flashlight, carefully illuminated the wall behind the lampshade, and then looked with a telescope, and sure enough, he found that each lamp had words representing the stars written on it.
This time, Wei Chiran was nine out of ten, but he still asked, "Master, I'm not wrong this time, right?" ”
He Changqing ignored him completely, and Wei Chiran had to step forward and ask again: "Master, human life is at stake, if I am wrong, everyone will be finished, and if you don't want to speak, just nod or shake your head." ”
"You take me for a dumb person!?" He Changqing scolded, "What do you have in your head? They all praise you for being smart, and I think you're smart only for a while. ”
After scolding, He Changqing said angrily: "This time it should be right, I'm not sure, you can do it yourself." ”
Wei Chi raised his crossbow and lit the lamps on it one by one in the order of Tianshu, Tianquan, Kaiyang, Tianxuan, Tianji, Yuheng and Shaoguang, and finally triggered the correct mechanism after all of them were lit, and slowly protruded from the wall on the side of the drawbridge, one by one, the stone slabs led directly to an entrance above.
Looking at the entrance, Wei Chi was scared, and Hou Zhenbang also touched his chest and said, "It's so dangerous." ”
It was indeed dangerous, if they had ventured to jump underneath before, they would have either been poisoned or gnawed to white bones by the group of corpse exorcists.
He Changqing began to pack up his things, and said while collecting them: "I'm going to spend a day with you here, who knows that you kid is quite clever, and he said that he wanted to sleep, which is really disappointing." ”
Rain on someone's parade!? Wei Chiran looked at He Changqing, although He Changqing gave him such a beautiful feeling just now, like a master who hated iron and steel, but thinking of what He Changqing had done, he felt a little scared.
Hou Zhenbang led Tuxingsun and stepped on the stone slab first.
When Wei Chiran was about to step forward, He Changqing stood behind him and asked, "Do you have something to ask me?" ”
Wei shook his head slowly, he felt that it was not the time.
However, He Changqing still said: "When there is a problem, when it will be solved, don't delay, the more you delay, the more serious the problem will be, and the serious misunderstanding caused by this will kill people." ”
Wei stopped slowly, turned around, and asked, "Master, even if I asked, would you say it?" ”
He Changqing hesitated and said, "It depends on what the problem is, whether I can explain it clearly." ”
Wei Chi said: "What is the past you said on the ground? Does that have anything to do with your current behavior? ”
He Changqing suddenly realized: "It turns out that Sun Haoyang told you about this? I understand. Sure enough, the heart is the first, and the lone soldiers are better at this. ”
As he spoke, He Changqing seemed to take a look at Sun Haoyang's body intentionally.
Wei Chiran said: "Look, I don't ask, you say that if the problem is not solved, it will cause a misunderstanding, and if I ask, you won't say." ”
He Changqing walked up to Wei Chiran and said: "That's right, the ghosts are all dead, and I'm left alone, I'm very angry, because it's a blood feud, what did we do wrong?" We just want to balance the normal world with the other, and we were built by a consensus between the two of them, but they are the ones who ultimately decided to drown us in the dust of history! ”
He Changqing's tone was very calm, on the contrary, because it was too calm, it made Wei Chiran feel a little chilled.
Wei Chiran asked, "Then are you planning to take revenge?" ”
He Changqing said: "Of course, I want revenge, I want to avenge those brothers who died, but I don't even know who the mastermind is, and I don't even know who participated in the massacre of Youxia back then." ”
Wei Chi didn't want to believe it: "You really don't know? ”
He Changqing said: "If you believe me, follow me, if you don't believe me, then you can get out now!" ”
As he spoke, He Changqing jumped up, jumped on the stone slab next to him, sighed after a slight pause, and jumped a few more times, easily jumping to the top.
Wei Chiran stood there, turned his head to look at Sun Haoyang's corpse again, and then slowly walked onto the stone slab.
When he came to the top floor, He Changqing looked at the lamp below and said, "The person who designed this mechanism is really a bad taste. ”
"Bad taste?" Wei was puzzled, "Why do you say that?" ”
He Changqing shook his head and said: "Legend has it that Zhuge Liang was sick in Wuzhang, and in order to survive, he used the secret method of the Seven Stars Life Renewal Lamp, but he failed and died here. I guess the people who designed this mechanism got their inspiration from here. ”
Wei Chiran suddenly thought of an unreasonable place: "It stands to reason that the time when Li Yinfeng's torture cave was built was before the evil suppression tower, how are the two connected?" ”
He Changqing frowned and looked at Wei Chiran and shook his head: "Are you a fool?" ”
