There is a mechanism in the secret passage to survive

Eight doors and nine stars to transform

Darkness, like a virus, spread down from the top of the stone steps, enveloping the entire area.

It makes people feel very depressed, so depressed that they can barely breathe and think.

The screams of pain continued, intermittently, drifting in the wind, as if the person making the sound was experiencing great pain.

Pain, often like a thousand Gu devouring the heart, not only bothers oneself, but also torments others.

I didn't move, but Zhang Chengyong on the side had already been unable to hold back the anxiety in his heart, and he was about to rush into the stone steps with an arrow step, but I was dragged by me.

"What? Tianyi, didn't you hear Xiaomei's shouting? Zhang Chengyong shouted with wide eyes.

"Of course I heard it!" I said slowly.

"Since you heard that, why didn't you let me go?" Zhang Chengyong shouted.

"Because, I don't want you to see Hades before you save Xiaomei." I said coldly.

"What do you mean?" Zhang Chengyong asked in surprise.

"His meaning is obvious, there is a mechanism in this secret passage!" Ice said coldly.

"Organs?" Zhang Chengyong asked in surprise.

"That's right!" As I spoke, I squatted down and shone a flashlight on the stone steps at the door, only to see that the stone steps were relatively rough and covered with dust, and it seemed that no one had walked on them for a long time. "Don't you think this stone staircase is strange?"

"Strange? What's so strange? I said Tianyi, can we not sell Guanzi? Zhang Chengyong said loudly.

"You said there used to be a lot of rats in this place, right?" I looked at Zhang Chengyong and asked.

"That's right! Many, many, disgusting, so much that people want to get out of that place. Zhang Chengyong now recalls the previous picture of the rats rushing into the broken temple, and he still feels creepy, and goosebumps instantly rose. Oops, even if you bring it up now, I still have lingering palpitations! By the way, why do you mention those rats? ”

"What are those rats doing here?" I didn't answer Zhang Chengyong's words, but continued to ask.

"To escape, of course! Didn't you say that before? They are fleeing to high places to avoid rising waters! Zhang Chengyong said loudly.

"That's right! Animal instincts tell them that there is a way to escape, but, look at this! I said, pointing to the dusty stone steps, "But look here, there's not even a trace of a rat here, what does that mean?" ”

"Does that mean this passage is dangerous?" Zhang Chengyong said loudly.

"That's right!" I nodded and said, "That's why I didn't let you rush up!" If you rush in like that, you might be back in place in a few steps! ”

"Oops, it's dangerous!" Zhang Chengyong patted his chest and said. "So what do we do now? That road was blocked by Long Yanmei, and Xiaomei doesn't know what the situation is now, we can't wait here, right? ”

"Of course you can't sit still!" I looked at the stone steps and said, "I want to go up, but it's just a way to go up!" ”

"Do you have an idea?" Zhang Chengyong asked.

"Perhaps! I'm not sure if it's good or not, but you can give it a try! I looked at Zhang Chengyong and said, "You put up the bamboo slips and the nine-layer Bo incense burner, after all, the two of us are here for it!" It's been found with such a big amount of waste, and you can't forget it. Also, by the way, look for anything else and see if there's anything else you can take with you, and pack them all together. ”

"Gotcha!" After Zhang Chengyong answered, he took off his backpack, wrapped the two things in three times and divided five by two, and carefully put them into the bag.

And when Zhang Chengyong searched this room "carpet", I walked up to Wang Yuan's corpse and whispered: "Thank you old man for showing me the way, the younger generation is grateful!" However, the road ahead is dangerous, and the traps of the seniors are too powerful, and the juniors can only offend here! I hope you don't get out of the way! ”

After speaking, I reached out and pulled Wang Yuan's two leg bones off.

"I said Tianyi, what are you doing here? Whip the corpse? This old boy may fuck up, but you're not going to be so cruel to him, are you? Zhang Chengyong looked at my strange behavior and asked.

"You're a whipper! Am I so perverted? I scolded.

"So what are you doing here?" Zhang Chengyong asked.

"Of course, I want to throw stones and ask for directions!" With that, I threw a leg bone into the stone steps.

I didn't throw too hard, and after leaping a dozen steps, the leg bone fell to the ground with a "click", and then rolled down again with a "grunt".

The three of us stared at the extremely dark stone staircase calmly, as if we were looking at an infinite black hole, and after a while, there was still no movement inside.

"It's okay! There's no mechanism in this! Zhang Chengyong let out a long sigh and said, "I said Tianyi, you are also too worried!" Tell me, if I hadn't listened to you, would I have ...... by now?"

Just when Zhang Chengyong was halfway through his words, he suddenly heard three "whoosh" sounds, and then the cold light hit us at three o'clock.

The wind broke through the air, and these three points of cold light came so fast, almost indescribably fast, that in the blink of an eye, it was already in front of the three of us.

"Be careful!" As I yelled, I kicked Zhang Chengyong to the side, then turned around and threw Ice next to me to the ground.

Just listening to the three sounds of "dang dang dang", three cold arrows one foot long were nailed to our position just now.

The remaining strength of the arrow has not disappeared, and at this time, it is still shaking incessantly, making a "buzzing" sound.

"What a quick arrow! If we were in this stone staircase just now, we would definitely not be able to dodge, then there would naturally be only one result! Ice said, getting up from the ground.

"Yes! Good thing we were outside! I said with a forced smile.

"So what do we do now? Can't you go up? Zhang Chengyong asked with a glare.

"Of course not!" With that, I threw the remaining leg bone into the secret passage of the stone steps.

This time, I threw harder, and naturally farther.

Sure enough, this time, when the leg bone just landed, the stormy cold arrows shot out, and three one-foot-long cold arrows were nailed to the ground.

"What a strong force! If this is shot on the body, it is estimated that it will be shot through! Do you say, Tianyi? Zhang Chengyong sighed.

But I didn't pay attention to Zhang Chengyong's words, I just used a flashlight to shine upwards in the direction where the first leg bone fell.

"What are you looking at?" Seeing that I didn't answer him, Zhang Chengyong came to my side and looked at the steps with me.

"What are you counting?" ICE also walked over at this time and asked.

"I'm counting eight and nine stars." I said with a frown.

"Eight doors and nine stars? What is that? Zhang Chengyong asked.

"The so-called nine stars refer to the Tianpeng Star, the Tianren Star, the Tianxing Star, the Tianfu Star, the Tianying Star, the Tianrui Star, the Tianzhu Star, the Tianxin Star, and the Celestial Bird Star. And the eight doors naturally refer to rest, life, injury, Du, scenery, death, shock, and opening. This Wang Yuan is really a strange person! He was able to freely arrange the changes in the positions of the eight gates and the nine stars in such a narrow stone staircase secret passage, and use this to design traps. ”

What do you mean by that? Does that mean if we know the location of these doors and stars, we can crack these mechanisms? Ice asked.

"That's pretty much it, we can't crack it, but we might be able to avoid triggering these mechanisms. In fact, the so-called eight doors and nine stars are fixed in the eighteen rounds of yin and yang before the swing plate is rotated, and the positions of the doors and stars in each game are the same. Generally speaking, the order of the door and the stars starts from the canopy star of the Kanyi Palace, and rotates in a clockwise direction, which is: Peng, Ren, Chong, Fu, Ying, Rui, Zhu, Xin, Fowl, Xiu, Sheng, Injury, Du, Jing, Death, Surprise, and Open. ”

"And where?" Ice asked.

"This royal fate is in the order of eight and then nine, and two steps are added at intervals, and these two steps seem to me to be the mechanism for starting this stone steps. Therefore, as long as we can avoid these steps, perhaps, we will be able to pass through this secret passage without any problems. I said.

"Is it reliable?" Zhang Chengyong asked. "How sure are you?"

"Not much, fifty percent sure!" I smiled helplessly.

"Fifty percent?" Zhang Chengyong shouted.

"What? Too little? I asked with a smile.

"Isn't there a half chance that a few of us will confess here?" Zhang Chengyong said loudly.

"That's better than nothing." Ice said coldly.

"That's just as well! Damn, 50 percent counts 50 percent! Zhang Chengyong stomped his feet and said. Time is limited, you lead the way on the first day, or I will break the back! ”

"Hmmm! But you remember, don't go too fast, it's dark inside the secret passage, you must see every step I take, once you take the wrong step, the result will be only death. I said leisurely.

"You don't need to say that, are we both ignorant three-year-olds? We are all people who have been through strong winds and waves, you just have to lead your way! Zhang Chengyong said.

"That's it! Let's go! After I finished speaking, I cautiously walked into the secret passage of stone steps as black as ink.

Secret passages, narrow passages that make people almost breathless.

And what makes people depressed is not only the stone wall of the black hole, but also the mechanism that can kill people at any time.

I walked so slowly, so slowly that I felt like I was crawling.

However, I still didn't dare to go too fast, for fear of taking a wrong step, for fear of a step to check the mistake.

The wind, getting cooler and colder, getting heavier and heavier.

However, at this time, my clothes were already soaking wet and soaked with cold sweat.

Zhang Chengyong: They followed me, they didn't urge me, they just followed cautiously, carefully stepping on the footprints I left behind.

They walked very slowly, and even breathed so lightly that they could barely hear it, for fear that the slightest extra noise would disturb my thoughts.

The three of us walked up step by step, walked for about ten minutes, and after turning the jogging platform about a dozen times, we finally saw a beam of light.

A beam of firelight.

The firelight, jumping in the darkness, is like a fairy in hell, and all who see it are in a very happy and comfortable mood.

It is like a beautiful young girl, standing in the distance beckoning to you, to take you to the most comfortable and wonderful place in the world, where the warmest bed, the most delicious food, and the sweetest wine in the world await you.
