Chapter Twenty-Four: Soul Locking Array
Just do it, and soon they began to act, Wu Ze and Luo Fatzi each walked at one end, and Jiang Yan was in charge of liaison in the middle.
Every time Wu Ze walked a few meters forward, he had to look back at the light of Jiang Yan's headlamp, and found that there was no change, and gradually walked farther and farther, at this time, the tomb road showed some differences.
Ten meters, twenty meters, thirty meters, Wu Ze silently counted the distance between himself and Jiang Yan in his heart, and the rope in his hand became shorter and shorter.
There was still endless darkness in front of him, Wu Ze was more and more frightened the more he walked, and the more terrifying he became, was he going to be trapped here and die of exhaustion?
But stopping is definitely not the way, at this time, he can no longer see the light of Jiang Yan behind him, and can only rely on the rope around his waist to maintain contact.
"Hell yes, are you going in circles?"
At the thought of going around in circles, Wu Ze was shocked, and seemed to understand something, this is not a ghost hitting the wall at all, but an artificially designed chaotic wall, using the ups and downs of the ups and downs, so that the light can't penetrate too far, just like endless darkness.
And then the person walked forward in the dark, in fact, in circles.
Wu Ze was sure in his heart, then pulled the rope around his waist, stopped walking, turned around and ran to Jiang Yan's side, and recruited Luo Fatzi back.
"I know what this thing is, it's not a ghost hitting the wall at all, it's the so-called soul locking array designed by the ancient masters!"
"What, Soul Locking Array! Whose soul is locked, do we need to break the formation to get out? ”
Wu Ze said: "This kind of place, is the use of undulating up and down references, to cover our vision, in the dark our light can not penetrate too far distance, occasionally there is a small gap, or go out of the mechanism, it is easy for us to ignore it, we have been walking forward, back and forth in fact, back and forth back and forth, in fact, back and forth, in circles!" ”
"Gradually, the more we can't find an exit, the more impatient and scared we become, and eventually we will be trapped here, leaving our souls behind!"
Jiang Yan opened her mouth and said: "I understand what you mean, next we must pay attention to whether there are active mechanisms on both sides of the tomb road, or up and down!" ”
Wu Ze agreed with Jiang Yan's opinion, so the three of them took out strong flashlights and shone on the walls on both sides of the tomb, and sure enough, after a while, Wu Ze found a very hidden mechanism, pushed away the moving bluestone slab, walked out, and found that since it was not a few steps away, he returned to the original main tomb.
The white marble coffin in the southeast corner is still there!
In fact, similar to this kind of mechanism designed to prevent tomb robbery, in the ancient Chinese royal noble tombs appeared in many places, but the technique is extremely secretive, generally only the court or the palace enshrined in the master can design, or only have enough financial resources and manpower to complete these incredible mechanisms.
These secret methods and materials are often highly secret to the royal family and nobles, and are specially used to protect the tombs of the royal family and nobles.
Jiang Yan took out the watch in her pocket and looked at it, it has been a long time since she entered the cave, and she has lost contact with the big team for even longer, and she doesn't know how anxious Sun Ruhai is.
Fortunately, the water and rations in the package of the three people were quite large, and there was no danger of running off water and food for the time being.
Standing in the main burial chamber and watching, the tomb wall on the right side opened an opening, and it was really the activity door that the two of them entered from the dark tomb road, but at this time, they found that a dark hole appeared under the activity door.
Finally walking out of the damn graveyard, the three of them wiped the sweat from their foreheads, and after eating something haphazardly, they exhaled with some ease.
Suddenly, Wu Ze felt as if something was missing around him, and asked the fat man, "Where is the pangolin in your hand?" ”
"Didn't you just hold it in your hand? Did you forget it in the Soul Locking Array? Jiang Yan also asked.
Luo Fat Man was a little blind, stood up and said: "I was obviously carrying it just now, but when I was drinking water, I saw that it didn't move, so I let go and put it at my feet, hey, where did the damn run now?" It shouldn't be far, let's look for it! ”
If you don't have a pangolin, what will you take to pay tribute to this ghost tomb? If there is nothing to sacrifice, it may not be possible to get rid of this ghost tomb that suddenly appeared, but it is not so easy to dismiss.
It's empty everywhere, where can you run, the three of them searched around.
Click!
There was a screeching sound from the white marble coffin.
"What a sound!"
The sudden noise in the empty chamber was enough to panic.
"Squeak!"
The sound coming from the white marble coffin was like a mouse being squeaked by a snake in its mouth.
Wu Ze motioned to Jiang Yan and Luo Fatzi to be careful.
He drew his paratrooper knife in one hand and cautiously touched the coffin.
Originally, I just wanted to find a safe place and slaughter the pangolin to pay tribute to the ghost tomb, in order to find a way out earlier, but who knew that it backfired, and the pangolin was gone, and there were these strange movements.
When Wu Ze touched the edge of the coffin, the voice suddenly stopped, and there was no movement.
It's weird!
Luo Fatzi, who followed closely, knocked on the white jade coffin with the sapper shovel in his hand, and said: "The voice must have come from this jade coffin, could it be that there is a female corpse lying here?" ”
His voice was filled with fear.
"No, that sound seems to come from behind the coffin!"
Poof!
As soon as Wu Ze's words fell, suddenly a white light flashed in front of him, and something fell on the coffin leisurely, bringing a gust of wind.
The three of them were so frightened that they quickly took two steps back, and when their headlights shone, it turned out to be a huge mouse with blood on its body!
It didn't know how to get to the pale statue or where it jumped from.
"Tomb top!"
Wu Ze looked up and saw that there was nothing abnormal on the roof of the starry dome, but when he looked closely, he found a crack, which seemed to be the tomb bricks of another tomb, because the color and material were completely different.
It seems that the two tombs are really one, and the same place was chosen.
Wu Ze swung a knife at the huge mouse, and the fallen mouse didn't have time to escape, so he was disemboweled.
The empty burial chamber was filled with the smell of blood for a while.
"Wu Ze, does this work?" Jiang Yan knew that he was sacrificing the blood of a rat to replace the vanished pangolin.
"Try it, it's the only way to do it!"
After the rat blood gushed out, Wu Ze looked around again, and found that under the movable stone slab that came in before, there were some changes at the entrance of the swarthy cave, which was originally a swarthy bluestone slab tomb, but now it has become a robbery hole.
Wu Ze and Jiang Yan glanced at each other, no longer hesitated, it seemed that it was crooked, since there was a thief hole, it must be the hole that the peer had come in and dug up, and the three of them ran over and quickly climbed into the thief hole.
"I'll climb ahead first, and don't untie the rope on our waists, in case there is any danger of a deep pit trap ahead, so that everyone won't fall into it." Wu Ze said.
After speaking, Wu Zehu crawled forward, still the same, Jiang Yan was in the middle, Luo Fatzi followed behind, and each person was about a few meters apart.
