178. After the lights go out

Indeed, this door is almost flush with the hanging place of the palace lamp, even if it is seven or eight meters high. But I think it's enough to use the way of stacking arhats, the men here are not short, one meter eight plus the arm length is two meters two or three, and three people are not enough to four.

But in the blink of an eye, I understood the truth, Cen Xi's subordinate Ade had a gun, even if they were in the same boat, it was impossible for Gu Xi and Qin Zhou not to be on guard against it. As for He Zhixu, there is no need to mention the extent of Gu Xi's cold to him.

So I'd rather the three of us try to get taller, even if my height is really a big loss. And Gu Xi really looked up to me, and actually let me be at the top! When I stood on his shoulder, I was almost a man away from the top of the bronze door.

I felt that my ankles were grabbed by his hands, and the faint and calm force was on it, and I secretly took a deep breath and heard him whisper: "Go!" That is, the arms were stretched out, and the upward force jumped up, in fact, Gu Xi's force was really huge, and the distance from the top of the door was shortened in an instant, but it was not high enough, only enough for me to hold the door frame with the five fingers of both hands.

The hateful thing is that the door panel is too thick, I can't grasp it with one palm, and I can't rely on palm power in the whole process, but can only rely on my fingers to support it. It is equivalent to the weight of all the body is loaded on ten fingers, holding a breath, clenching your teeth, and pulling up little by little. When I finally climbed up, I was lying on top of the door, panting, and my fingers looked like they were about to break.

Gu Xi at the bottom was about four or five meters away from me, and I only heard Qin Zhou urging at the bottom: "Did you go up?" Ah Xi, you are so heavy. Gu Xi ignored him, only raised his head to stare at me, his dark eyes were clear and deep.

It was only then that I suddenly thought of something, that is, how am I going to extinguish the eight lamps when I come up now? Even if it is on the top of the door, the nearest one meter away from the palace lamp is about one meter, and the farthest one can be ** meters away, I can't rely on blowing it out.

Helplessly, he looked at the top wall above his head, and said that if it was a gecko, it would be easy to do.

I was wandering here, and I heard Gu Xi suddenly say, "Catch it." As soon as I looked down, I saw something flying towards me, and without thinking about it, I reached out and grabbed it, and when I touched the round beads, it turned out to be the golden silk nanmu bracelet he wore on his wrist.

I suddenly understood the meaning of his move, others don't know what is strange about his Nanmu bracelet, but I have personally experienced and seen it, it is not only a valuable cultural play but also a lethal weapon.

Because I once helped Gu Xi carefully clean and wipe it, I know how it works. The whole bracelet looks like each bead is bright and deep, but it is actually very exquisite. One of them is particularly dark, as long as you pinch it lightly, the filament will come out, I have carefully looked at the filament when wiping, I really can't tell what kind of material it is. It's tough and sharp, and I've accidentally cut my finger for it.

It is mainly out of the double wire winding and pulling quickly, which has a lot of ingenuity.

In fact, the first thing I did after coming up was to observe the palace lamp, which was shrouded in two layers of partitions, connected by a bronze pipe in the middle, and burned as if it was lamp oil, and the wick was in the middle of the lamp oil.

From this point of view, Gu Xi had a plan, as long as the wick was cut with a filament, the lamp could be extinguished, and the lamp would not be damaged. Just now, the owner of the village has smashed the lamp with gravel and shaken it, and there is no abnormal change, so it is okay to touch the lamp without damage. However, I'm not sure if every lamp is like this, and I can't try it, because if I get it wrong, I might trigger a mechanism or a hidden formation.

So I took a few shots and took it back in time, the wick was too small, and I couldn't control the spacing of this range.

Gu Xi looked at it silently for a while and then spoke: "If you want to reach the goal, you must do three words: fast, ruthless, and accurate, as for the control of strength and duration, you should be able to sense it with your eyesight." ”

Is he teaching me? But I really want to yell at him, why don't he come by himself? I'd rather support him below, believing that with his ability, he will definitely be able to get here, and no one is more familiar with the control of Nanmu bracelets than him.

I thought so, but I still concentrated on my fingertips as he said, and when I gently pinched the beads again, the filaments shot out silently and just caught the wick without touching the bronze shaft in the middle, and with a quick tug, the wick was cut off by the filament, and the fire was extinguished, but the lamp did not move.

"Wow, Chang Xiaoyuan is really cool with your hand." Qin Zhou praised below, and at this time, Gu Xi had already gotten off his shoulder, stood on the ground, and looked up at me.

I didn't have the heart to take care of Qin Zhou, I just extinguished the first light at the closest distance, and the strength of each subsequent move had to change randomly. If you don't get distracted, you will definitely touch the outer lamp, and you may even cut it off.

As I repeated the controls, I began to grasp that after extinguishing the three lights, my hand no longer shook and I was able to hit with one hit. But when it came to the seventh, and farthest light, I couldn't help but get to it.

First, the distance is too far, and the control of the strength will need to be more accurate; Second, it was blocked by the nearest light, unless I had to make a turn in the filament to get there. I've measured the difficulty of this more than just a point, because if I use the strength of my wrist to throw it towards the seventh lamp as the filament shoots out, not to mention whether or not I can hit it, there is a high chance that I will hit the lamp that has been extinguished just now.

If you destroy the rest of the lamps for the sake of one lamp, it really outweighs the loss.

I was in trouble at the door, and I didn't pay attention to the movement under the door. When the door was suddenly pushed, he was startled, and when he looked down, he saw Gu Xi and Qin Zhou pushing the door together. Immediately understood their purpose, the door was alive, as long as it moved, the dead corner would become a live corner, and obviously Gu Xi had a very accurate grasp of the angle, and no light would block it.

He closed his eyes and focused on his fingers again. The filament shot out at great speed, successfully cutting the seventh wick, and then pushed the bronze door to adjust the angle for me as long as it was obscured, until the last lamp was in no hurry.

At this time, the palms of my hands were already full of sweat, and there were beads of sweat dripping from my forehead, not because I had exerted my physical strength, but because I didn't know what would happen when this light went out.

Life and death were at this thought, and no one came to urge me to do it, and everyone waited in silence.

I couldn't help but look down at Gu Xi, who also happened to raise his head. There was only one light left, and it was already dim, and he could only be seen vaguely, and the light and shadow shone on him and stretched the shadow.

What I did just now was up to him, but he left the decision up to me.

Such...... Is it a kind of trust in me?

Since we are all here, and we have no way out, it is impossible to retreat. Taking a deep breath, he gritted his teeth and pinched the beads and shot out, and in an instant, the lights went out, and the entire space disappeared into darkness.

No one spoke, everyone should have been listening intently in this sudden dark moment, but what mechanism would be touched. But there was silence for two minutes, and nothing changed. I didn't even dare to breathe again in the past two minutes, but there were always people who couldn't stay up, such as Xiaoyou: "What are we going to do now?" ”

As soon as her voice came out, suddenly there was something strange in the air, and the air was clearly floating.

I felt that there was a light looming, and when I looked up, I couldn't help but be stunned, there was a faint blue fluorescence on the huge stone wall, which was clear and extinguished, and there was something else to see when it was extinguished. Still Xiaoyou was nervous and frightened, "What is this?" ”

Qin Zhou couldn't bear it anymore and shouted: "Shut up!" ”

I didn't bother her, because my mind was attracted by the blue light that was clearly extinguished. That's not ordinary light, it's a painting! Without looking into how it's imaged, the stones here are all weird and have different effects, so I'm going to focus on seeing what the painting is for now.

At first, I looked like a landscape painting, with the river lying quietly underneath and the shadows of the mountains behind the water. But after a while, I found that it was not just the mountains and rivers, there seemed to be one hole after another in the cliff. If it weren't for the fact that the light had gone and disappeared, these holes would have been densely packed on the mountain wall. When I imagined this picture in my mind, the first thing that came to my mind was a hornet's nest, and if I looked at the mountain and the cave as a whole, wouldn't it be a shape similar to a beehive?

The light and shadow walked through most of the wall, and it seemed that it was almost the end, and so far there was nothing special except for the beehive-shaped mountain wall. When the last corner was also lit up and darkened, I wanted to sort out the painting to see if anything was missing, but the moment the light went out, a spot in the middle of the sudden light came back on.

It was supposed to be one of the thousands of caves, it just flashed for a moment, and then it was gone.

Thinking that it was over, but it didn't, the stone wall began to light up with green light, and the same light and shadow began to sketch another painting. But this time it was different, it didn't go out when it lit up, and a painting gradually took shape in everyone's sight.

The painting is of a tree, which is so large that it almost occupies the entire wall, and a circle is drawn at the bottom, and the circle is left black on all sides. And on the tree there were long boxes hanging from branches, and I don't know what they were, many, many of them. This painting uses a technique similar to that of ink painting, because there is only one color, green, so the tree is used as the base, and the rest is depicted blank, so the long box appears black in the field of vision.

I don't know who asked, "What are you hanging from that tree?" ”

Heard Gu Xi's deep voice: "Coffin." ”

Suddenly even I froze, and he said it was...... Coffin? After looking at this statement, I suddenly felt that it was true, black is not that there is no other color to fill, but it represents the color of the coffin itself, and I instantly felt that this big tree was gloomy and terrifying.

Almost every weeping willow-like branch will be tied to a coffin, and it is too dense to count. Suddenly, his eyes flashed, as if something shook his eyes in the middle, and he only heard Cen Xi ask in the commotion below: "Did you just see anything?" The voice was uncontrollable and excited, and Xiao You replied: "It seems that I saw something in those ...... The coffins shook. ”

"Look!" This time, Cen Xi raised his voice and shouted urgently.
