Chapter XXXVIII

Huzi and I were finally dumbfounded, we always thought that the secret passage below was fixed, but we didn't expect it to be the same as above, so we could only go forward and not turn back. If we used to think of the movement of the tomb above as a mechanism, now we don't think so. The four words composed of black gas are definitely not something that any organ can do, someone should be controlling all this.

A sense of unease of being watched by others fills our minds, and we observe everything above, and at the same time there is a mysterious person watching us. It's like being locked in a cage, and every move is set up by someone without us noticing. I finally couldn't control it anymore and told Huzi not to go any further and wait for me for a while.

After putting down my backpack, I took out the incense burner and incense, took out a sect leader incense, lit it and inserted it into the incense burner, and then recited the mantra that Liu Lang asked me to memorize before leaving. The mantra is obscure, the pronunciation is not even found in the dictionary, but fortunately it is only nine syllables. Liu Lang said that this is the immortal inscription on the big seal of my family's camp, and the Burning Sect Master's incense and reciting this spell can directly get in touch with him.

Huzi listened to me ask for incense code people, he stared at the incense burner with an expectant face, he had always asked me to tell him about the horse, after all, he was also from the Northeast, and the horse fairy Baojiaxian heard it here since he was a child, no wonder he was curious. I'm completely nervous right now, for fear that this jade secret passage can block the transmission of incense. Seeing that the incense burned shorter and shorter, the incense line floated straight upward, passing through the jade slab above his head and disappearing into nothingness, but he didn't feel it at all in his heart. With the last few minutes left, my heart was almost sinking to the bottom.

At this moment, I suddenly felt my heart pound, as if I was being grabbed by someone, and then Liu Lang's voice sounded in my heart. He only said two short sentences, and then everything fell into calm again. I was overjoyed when I heard Liu Lang's voice, and then after listening to his words, I began to mix joy and sorrow again. He told me, "The soldiers and horses are ready, and it is inconvenient to show up at this moment, and use them as bait to catch big fish." ”

He said these two sentences in a hurry, and he didn't even tie me up, and went down in a hurry, as if he was afraid of being discovered by someone. I'm really a little panicked at the moment, on the one hand, Liu Lang and the immortals have always paid attention to me and haven't lost contact, which has reassured me. On the other hand, Liu Lang said that he used himself as a bait to catch big fish, I don't know if he wants to catch Zhang Ye or Qin Wuye, or the mysterious power that controls everything behind the scenes, in short, I now belong to using myself as a meat bun to tease the dog, in case Liu Lang doesn't grasp it, Lao Tzu will let the family digest it.

Without saying a word, I put away the incense burner and put it in my backpack, Huzi looked at me in a daze, and asked me, "Where is the old fairy?" Did you come or didn't? ”

"Why do you ask so much, you can go forward with me. If you have any housekeeping skills, you are ready to prepare, and if there is any emergency, you will be greeted with your life, and you have seen it, there is no way back. I pointed to the wall behind me with a calm face, and the big characters made up of the four black gases had disappeared. Despite this, Huzi couldn't smile when he glanced at the blocked tomb, and nodded heavily at me.

Huzi and I continued to move forward with a heavy heart, and the pace was getting faster and faster. People are often like this when they know that there is danger in front of them and there is no way out behind, the unknown is more unbearable than the face, and they can't wait to reveal everything immediately, whether they are dead or alive. We almost ran to the end, just a corner away from the marked place in the main burial chamber.

I grabbed Huzi and motioned for him to stop and catch his breath, while I calmed myself down. The location of the main burial chamber on the map is not at the center point, but at the west of the center, and there is a huge bell drawn on the map, and the location of the center is blank, I don't understand what the people who designed the tomb in the first place thought. According to my guess, the following road is to lead to the main burial chamber, so there should be no road directly below the burial chamber, only to go up.

What worries me the most is not this, I have been drenched in weak water at Shengmen, and I am still unstable and a little dizzy. Zhou Tong said that the reason why the owner of the tomb did this was probably to seize the body, and he was about to see the coffin, can I not be afraid. I discussed the countermeasures with Zhou Tong several times in my heart, and he said that since the acting sect leader said that there should be no problem, when the time comes, it really can't work, and the acting sect leader will directly hit the horse and sit down.

After resting for a few minutes, Huzi and I held our breath and walked along the secret passage inside, and just around the corner, a large hall appeared in front of us, almost the size of a theater. What shocked us the most was that the top was brightly lit, and looking up through the jade slabs, the hall above was as big as the one below, but the floor below was empty.

There are grooves in the wall of the hall overhead, every one meter apart, and the flames in the lamps inside are steady and not swaying in the slightest. It's hard to imagine what kind of fuel can burn for thousands of years without extinguishing, not to mention that the ancient tomb was in a vacuum before we came in. I didn't have time to think about this, there was indeed a big bell standing in the middle of the hall, as tall as a two-story building, could this big bell be a coffin?

Since the bell was fastened to the ground, the fire on the wall around it could not illuminate the scene inside, and even if I and Huzi looked up from below, we couldn't see anything. Huzi turned on the strong flashlight and shone it up, but he still couldn't see anything clearly, as if this circular range was not transparent at all.

Curiously, we went to the bottom of the bell and dilated our pupils to look in, when suddenly we heard a boom, and when there was a vibration under my feet, I realized that I had stepped on the air. Then it was pitch black, the cry of the tiger was behind me, and I realized that when I fell, I was not in free fall, but continued to accelerate down a ramp. I tried to grasp some bumps to slow down, but it was all in vain. The place where you can touch it is like pouring lubricating oil, and the speed is increasing all the time.

This hole is like a slide when playing rapids, turning around, the dark environment and the whistling wind in my ears make my mouth dry, and the inertia at every turn has a feeling of weightlessness, if it is not for the hole is too narrow, I estimate that I will fly. What's even more terrifying is that the tiger behind him has been shouting desperately, such a speed will not fall to the ground for a while without falling to my death, not to mention that the tiger is behind me, if he smashes me again, with his weight I really have no way to survive at all.

I was trying to figure out a way, and suddenly there was a "whew" that I should have slipped to the lowest point of the hole. Although I couldn't see it, it felt like I was being tossed upwards by inertia, and my brain was congested with my head down, and my face began to swell a little, and then I went around in mid-air for half a circle and continued down. This kind of extreme sports coupled with the shouting of the tiger made me unable to think, and his voice was shrill like an old lady who was obviously afraid of heights and wanted to play roller coasters.

Suddenly, a bright light appeared in front of me, and then the circular circle of light grew larger and larger, and it should have reached the exit. I gritted my teeth and hugged my knees with both hands, and tucked my head between my knees to shrink myself into a ball, so that I could effectively protect the vital point when I hit it. The moment I was ejected out of the hole like a cannonball, a black gas filled my whole body like an engine. This is Zhou Tong borrowing my strength, and I reacted between the lightning and flint, and controlled the yin qi to turn over and land smoothly in mid-air.

As soon as I landed, I heard a "woo" sound, and a black shadow fell down after me, and I knew it was a tiger. My first reaction was not to pick it up, but to instinctively flash more than a meter away. With a "bang", the dust on the ground was smashed and scattered. Huzi couldn't even scream, and it took a long time to raise his head, and his nostrils were shocked and choked with blood, and it seemed that he had fallen lightly.

Huzi slowed down for a long time and finally got up, coughed a few times and spit out a mouthful of blood foam, and then said Brother, you are hiding so fast. I scratched my head in embarrassment, it was an instinctive reaction that I couldn't decide. Besides, I've seen a story about a man who caught a baby who had fallen from the fourth floor, and his hands and arms were comminuted. Huzi said one hundred and seventy or eighty pounds, even if I wanted to pick it up, I couldn't catch it, and the intestines couldn't be smashed out for me?

I was embarrassed to look at Huzi, turned my head to look at the surroundings, and I was speechless when I saw the scene here. Because the place is brightly lit, there is a huge bronze bell standing in front of it. Huzi and I were thrown to the upper floor, which is the main burial chamber. It seems that I guessed correctly, and the jade secret passage below is to get us here safely.

According to Zhou Tong's guess, the birth gate was drenched with weak water, and then the jade secret passage was smooth all the way, and finally sent me to the main tomb, which was my most dangerous moment. The door of life is not our door of life, but the door of rebirth of the owner of the tomb. Thinking of this, my heart suddenly began to pound, and I subconsciously kicked back several steps. I remembered countless times in my dreams when the woman in red put me in a sedan chair, and then I watched the coffin lift a corner, and then the feeling of being choked by the neck and unable to breathe. This dream made me instinctively afraid of the coffin, for fear that something scary would come out of it.

The surface of the bronze bell has a lot of unintelligible writing, which are engraved on small squares, like Rubik's cubes and movable type printing squares, which look as if they can be moved, and if I guess correctly, they are some kind of mechanism. If you can read this kind of writing, you should be able to open the bell and see the coffin inside as long as you move the blocks to a certain order.

Huzi walked around the bell twice, and he seemed to have discovered that these text squares could be moved, and his hands were itching and he wanted to try them.

"Don't move!" The voice was made by me, meant to warn him not to act recklessly, but I don't know if it was my auditory hallucinations or what, as if someone was shouting both words at the same time as me. Huzi heard the shout and looked back at me, then looked at my right rear with a reined face.

I turned my head to look in that direction, and found that the original tomb wall had been quietly opened, and there were five or six people standing at the door, led by Zhang Ye.
