Chapter 188: Labyrinth
The rich night shrouds the sea, a deserted island in the South China Sea, surrounded by high cliffs, strange rocks, but in the center is a sunken plain, dense jungle, ancient trees towering to the sky.
If you look at it from above, you will find that this desert island resembles a large oval-shaped basin.
Our group's clipper stalled early and drifted down the current to the deserted island.
Lao Wu fixed the boat on a reef and said in a low voice: "Climb up, the ancient tomb is in the hinterland of this desert island." ”
For the four of us, climbing such a cliff was nothing, and soon we reached the top of the cliff, and then descended from the top of the cliff and submerged into the dense forest below.
In the middle of the forest, there was an extremely open place, a ruined mausoleum square, with a rock-paved ground that had long been mottled and trees and grass growing out of the cracks.
Ancient stone carvings stand all around, and they have long been corroded and cannot be seen in their original faces.
At this time, a huge bonfire was burning in the center, and around here, a number of onmyoji in strange costumes were scattered in various places, some were chatting, some were meditating cross-legged, and a rough estimate showed that there were more than 100 people.
"Are all the onmyoji in the South China Sea ready?" I hid in the shadows and whispered to Lao Wudao.
"I estimate that it's almost the same, the forces with a little strength in the South China Sea are here, these onmyoji are entrenched here, it should be to prevent foreign onmyoji from entering, and there should be a group of them in the ancient tomb." Old Five Ways.
At this time, Zhang Ruyue suddenly said: "Old Five, your old friend is also there, why don't you let her open a back door?" ”
Following Zhang Ruyue's gaze, he saw that Keriel appearing from the dense forest on one side.
"I don't want to die, the mountain people have their own tricks." The fifth child said confidently.
At this time, Lao Wu took out a few sets of colorful robes and turbans, and said, "Put them all on." ”
I carried this robe and said in a low voice: "Old Five, don't tell me that I can be invisible in this flowery dress, this group of South China Sea Onmyoji is not so stupid." ”
"An-la, this is the clothes worn by the South Sea Brahma, not only clothes, but also identity tokens." As he spoke, Lao Wu took out a few fist-sized beast head cards.
"This Brahmanism is a South China Sea Onmyoji sect?" I asked.
Lao Wu shook his head and said: "No, most of them are ordinary people, but there are also Onmyoji disciples, the symbol is this beast head card, don't worry, the Onmyoji of the Brahmana Sect has a strange temperament, rarely has contact with outsiders, and goes crazy when it is provoked, and the Onmyoji of other sects will not provoke." ”
Hearing the fifth child say this, the three of us were a little relieved.
In a short time, we dressed ourselves, covered our faces with our headscarves, and walked in with a big stab.
Suddenly, the eyes of all the Onmyoji shot over, and after seeing our outfit and the beast head card pinned to our waist, most of the Onmyoji showed a light of jealousy.
"How did the Borneo madman come? Didn't they say they weren't interested? An onmyoji whispered.
"Who knows? This is a pack of mad dogs who catch and bite whom, or stay away from them. Another Onmyoji said.
The four of them entered the entrance of the ancient tomb that had been blasted open, while a pair of eyes kept staring at us, the fifth to be exact, until we disappeared.
"Senior sister, do you know them?" A Shark Gang disciple asked Kril.
"I don't know." Krille replied, but her eyes flickered slightly.
Walking into the ancient tomb, I couldn't help but be surprised, this should be a former tomb hall, as big as a palace, the inside is empty, but the surrounding black jade paved tomb walls are all carved with all kinds of exquisite reliefs, which can be called art.
"Go this way." Lao Wu said, walking towards the depths.
But after a few steps, he turned around and saw that I was still staring at the reliefs on the tomb wall.
"Qin Shao, hurry up, there are South China Sea Onmyoji coming and going here from time to time, and it will be troublesome if they are discovered." Lao Wu urged.
I withdrew my gaze from the relief, couldn't help but look twice, and then walked forward.
The pattern of the relief is very abstract, but I still saw that there are demons, ghosts, immortals, and most importantly, I saw the pattern of a six-pointed star in it.
Suppressing a hint of excitement in my heart, I began to pay attention to the situation around me.
Out of this former tomb hall, it is the maze of tombs.
"Be careful, everyone, there are many mechanisms in the tomb, and I suspect that the tomb will change on its own." Lao Wu reminded.
The tomb is about six meters wide and is paved with bluestone, and there are sparse oil lamps lit on both sides of the tomb.
The air inside was not turbid, but it was cold and biting, mixed with a rich sense of death and yin.
Not long after walking, the group saw piles of scattered bones and a few fresh corpses, the blood had not yet fully coagulated.
"Haha, with these South China Sea monkeys opening the way, we have a lot less trouble." Lao Wu said with a smile.
Further on, there is a three-way crossing, one road ahead, one road to the left and one road to the left.
Lao Wu took a closer look and walked towards the tomb on the left.
"I have marked this section of the road, and sure enough, as I expected, the tomb road here will change on its own, and it is useless to memorize by rote, and it is still useful to use the gossip algorithm of our ancestors." Old Five Ways.
At this moment, a gust of wind blew, and the oil lamps on both sides of the tomb were suddenly extinguished.
"It's so dead." I raised my eyebrows and reached out to pull Huo Sirui beside me.
But I suddenly shook a cold hand, and as soon as I turned my head, I saw Huo Sirui leaning towards me with a frightened face.
"I'm afraid." Huo Sirui said in a trembling voice.
"If you're so afraid, let's die." My eyes were like lightning, and I took her hand, and in an instant, my mana shook, and a yin extinguishing magic seal slapped away.
Huo Sirui screamed, turning into a cloud of black smoke and dissipating.
"Boom, gurgle, hahaha......" There are many ghosts in the tomb, and all kinds of ghost laughter continue to sound, which is creepy.
At this moment, a figure rushed over brandishing a ghost ring knife, it was the fifth child, and he was slightly stunned when he saw me.
"Look at the fart, you can't tell the real from the fake." I don't have a good airway.
Lao Wu laughed dryly, turned around and slashed out, the black ghost flame flashed away, and the two yin spirits that pounced on him were killed by him.
Just as the fifth child was about to speak, his face suddenly changed and he rushed towards me.
I frowned, and as soon as I raised my hand, the thunder in my palm exploded, and the "old five" instantly scattered.
"It's such a subtle magic circle, at first I thought it was a hundred ghost fantasy realm, it seems that I don't know how much higher than the level of a hundred ghost illusion realm, but the yin soul is too weak, and there is not a single ghost." I muttered in my heart, no matter how subtle the magic circle is, the main body of the attack is still the Yin Spirit, so I don't worry about other people, these weak chicken ghosts can even be dealt with by a junior Onmyoji.
At this moment, a thick burst of dead air swept over like a whirlwind, and a yin spirit was instantly shattered.
After a while, the oil lamps on both sides turned on again, and Lao Wu, Huo Sirui and Zhang Ruyue were not far from me.
Zhang Ruyue took Huo Sirui's hand and walked forward, while the fifth child was a few steps behind, side by side with me, and said in a low voice: "Qin Shao, you are honest, what is the origin of this Zhang Ruyue, how does it feel very wrong." ”
"Something is wrong." I patted Lao Wu's shoulder and smiled.
What do you mean? Lao Wu looked dazed.
The tomb road is another three-way intersection in the end, and the fifth child looked at it and chose to go straight.
"Wait." The fifth man stopped, raised his hand and motioned for the three of us to stop.
At this time, Lao Wu took out a wood carving, and a magic trick hit it, and the wood carving turned into a figure in an instant and rushed forward.
At this moment, holes suddenly opened on both sides of the tomb, and countless arrows glowing with ghostly light shot crosswise.
"Breaking the arrow, it's so generous." I said that the magic breaking arrow is a magic weapon, which specializes in breaking mana defenses, and it is all one-time, this tomb shoots thousands of them at a time, and I can choke when I encounter them.
In the next maze of the tomb road, the four of us encountered a more sinister mechanism, there was a whole tomb road spewing out fire, burning everything, there was a sudden pit, there were all corpse eaters below, and there were two knife walls, which were squeezed directly into the middle.
Grave roads were passed through, and finally there was no longer an endless three-way intersection ahead, but a tomb hall appeared.
The tomb is dilapidated, but you can still see how magnificent it was when it was intact.
"I was here last time, and the little belly pocket and jade ring were obtained from the female corpse inside." The fifth said to me.
My eyes lit up, isn't my target this female corpse? I don't care about the rest, but I need to figure out where the jade ring came from anyway, and it is related to the clues of my background.
The four of us stepped into this tomb, and before we could enter it, we smelled the smell of blood.
We glanced at each other and tacitly divided into two by two teams, I played with Lao Wu, and Zhang Ruyue and Huo Sirui broke off.
As soon as I stepped inside, my pupils suddenly shrank, and I saw that this huge burial chamber was full of mutilated corpses, each of which had been disemboweled, and my intestines were flowing all over the ground.
