178 Cave of the Mystery (1)

There is nothing in this stone room except those pictures and texts, to study these pictures and texts, it takes a lot of effort, such as "coloring" and "cleaning", otherwise we can't see what is depicted at all, we didn't expect to come to this place at all, there are no tools to ask for tools, and in the end Miao Banxian and I feel that it is better to continue to open the new stone door to see.

But it's easy to think about, the stone gate is tightly fitted, although it is much smaller than the stone gate outside, but the weight is not light, and all of us can't push it open with all the combined strength.

I also tried to find a small door, trying to see if it would be like the stone gate outside, there was a small door that could be easily passed, and it turned out that luck was only once.

In the end, I could only think that maybe there was a mechanism that could be opened, and I didn't dare to use the bomb in this place, but I walked around, and there was nothing, and in the end, Miao Banxian took out his compass, and after several attempts, the final result pointed to - the sarcophagus!

Miao Banxian sighed: "If we want to go over, we will probably have to work on this sarcophagus." ”

"Don't." I circled around the sarcophagus for half a circle, "What if there are zongzi in it?" ”

"What are you afraid of, isn't your son here?"

Saying that, we both looked at Xiaobao at the same time, and Xiaobao raised his head with his chest up, very proud: "Yes, mother, I'm here, don't be afraid!" ”

Me: "......"

Me: "So, open it up?" ”

It's easy to say, the weight of this coffin lid is not lighter than the stone door, it took a lot of effort to push the coffin lid together, this is fortunate that Xiaobao and I have the power that mortals can't reach, I can't help but think, those tomb robbers want to encounter this kind of coffin, how did it open?

",!"

Afraid of seeing the terrible zongzi inside, I nervously shone the light of the flashlight through the crack in the coffin lid the size of a fist, and I couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth.

There are no zongzi in it as I thought, and it can even be said to be empty, except for ...... A cat skin!

In such a large sarcophagus, there is a cat skin?

The black egg, which jumped on the lid of the coffin, suddenly arched its back and let out a low roar from its throat at the opening of the lid of the coffin, like something in it that threatened it.

Seriously, the sounds it screamed made me a little scary, they all said that cats are psychic, although the black egg is an ocelot, but I still feel that there is an indescribable weirdness in the black coffin.

Miao Banxian twisted his eyebrows and said: "I have heard an ancient rumor about using cats for the first layer of burial, saying that it can be used for ......."

He paused halfway through his words, and his face was not very good.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

He looked sad: "Substitute." ”

I didn't understand: "What? ”

"Cats have nine lives, use them as a substitute for souls."

"Ha, is it possible to resurrect the dead tomb owner?" I said something jokingly, and I saw Miao Banxian's not very good face, and he said: "It's naturally not enough to just point at cats, and most of the resurrection and immortality will only make people turn into monsters...... Forget it, I'll just say that, how many emperors in ancient times thought of being able to live forever, and tried all kinds of methods, didn't they all fail, and now, it's just a cat. ”

He deliberately relaxed his tone at the end, but the look he raised made me know that he was still uneasy in his heart.

Thinking of that old monster of the enemy...... I shook my head, shook off the idea that it would only make people feel weak, that we couldn't worry so much if we wanted to move forward, took a breath, and said, "Come on." ”

Xiaobao took the black egg away, held it in his arms, and followed its cat one by one, and then I and Miao Banxian pushed the coffin lid a little wider, revealing almost half of the inside of the coffin, and the cat skin was completely exposed.

I checked the other places first, except for the almost similar pictures and texts, I really couldn't find anything else, and there was no uneven place that could act as a mechanism, so I reached for the cat skin, and read in my mouth: "No wonder, no wonder, I don't want to rob the tomb, nor do I want to hurt your only remaining skin, I just want to find a way through here, if you still have a spirit, open up to us." ”

I would say these things, mainly because of the reaction of the black egg just now, and I intuitively felt that there was more than just cat skin here.

But just when my fingers were about to touch the cat skin, the shriveled skin moved, and the flat paws scratched directly at my hand, and I was so frightened that I withdrew my hand, and when I looked again, the cat skin was still in place, and there was no trace of moving.

"What's wrong?" Miao Banxian saw that I was stretching out my hand and smacking my hand, and asked suspiciously.

I didn't speak, not because I didn't want to answer, but because I wasn't sure, I thought about it, and I reached out to the cat skin again, this time mentally prepared, I stared at the cat skin in case it made any more moves.

But this time nothing happened, I ran into it easily, is it really my delusion?

As soon as I thought about this, I felt pain in my fingers, and then I felt my "life force" being sucked from the painful part of the wound, which was even more hateful than sucking my soul power.

If you are a human, you will definitely suck it up in an instant, leaving only skin and bones.

Anger coiled in my heart, I had a feeling that the emperor was violated by the slaves below, and I was not in a hurry to withdraw my hand, red light flashed in my eyes, I changed the politeness just now, and the cold voice seemed to be able to condense into a straight line: "I originally thought that you are also a spirit, our well water does not interfere with the river water, if you turn back, you can go out, I can still get you some offerings, and if you turn around, you can cultivate into a cat demon and cat fairy, and you will not waste so many years of life and life trapped here, but you want me to destroy you, right?" ”

I'm not a ghost who didn't know anything at the beginning, I didn't even know that I was dead, I have the cultivation that was passed down to me in my previous life, I have the strict training of the Qiu poet, and I also have an ancient array, when I am on fire, even if I can't scare people to death, it is enough to scare such a cat spirit to death.

The suction disappeared, a black gas came out of the cat's skin, and a transparent kitten appeared next to the cat's skin, a total of a palm's size, two front paws bowed in front of him, looked at me pitifully, and whispered "meow" at me.

Is this a mistake with me?

I withdrew my hand indifferently, and sure enough, a small mark was made on the tip of my middle finger, and I didn't care, and said: "The little anger that was just sucked away by you should be regarded as a reward, help us open this stone door, you can, right?" ”

The transparent kitten "meowed", and seeing that I didn't care about the "items" that it sucked away, it happily wagged its tail, and then it turned into smoke again and got into its own cat skin, at this time, the whole cat skin turned over, revealing its original place.

I reached out and touched it, found a very small slit, and pulled out a board the size of an adult man's palm, and a key was placed under the board, which was more than ten centimeters long.

Earlier, when I was looking for a way to open the stone door, I saw a small round hole in the stone door, which was very inconspicuous, and you almost thought that it was just a part of the picture and text that was a little deeper, but now that I think about it, it may be a keyhole.

Insert the key in, can't screw, I have to think if I found the wrong keyhole, but this key is not short, can let the entire key body probe in, indicating that the hole is not small, how can it be so coincidental, right?

I saw that the key was very strong, so I turned it a little harder, and finally it turned for me.

After hearing a "click" sound, the door that could not be pushed before will automatically open with a "boom".

When the door opened, the flashlight shone and I saw the stone steps leading to the bottom.

Me: "......"

Miao Banxian said: "This can't be going down layer by layer, and then leading to hell, right?" ”

"Don't talk nonsense." I scolded him, this kind of place is most afraid of what to say, the best way is to talk less, "Let's go." ”

The black egg walks in front as usual, it is agile and nimble, and has a dog-like nose, which is suitable for leading the way in the front scouting.

The distance between each stone staircase is higher than that of ordinary stairs, and the width is slightly wider than the two stone doors behind it, and there are only stone steps illuminated by flashlights in front of them, and I don't know where they lead.

But we didn't go down the stairs long before we reached the level, and in front of the level, there was a stone gate.

"And there's more!" I glared at the stone gate angrily, wishing that two lasers could shoot out of my eyes and shoot directly through the two large stone gates.

The black egg walked over on his front and back feet, sniffed under the door, then stretched out his paw to hook the crack under the door, and then he hooked the door a little.

Me: "......"

I don't know if this place I'm in now is a tomb or a secret place, these stone gates that look very powerful and scary, are they really good to be so casual?

The door in front of it is about the same size as the stone door behind the previous floor, and it should be about the same weight, unless this door that looks like a stone is actually foam? Otherwise, how could a cat's paw open with such a hook?

The black egg was also a little blind, and looked back at us, in the light of the flashlight, and his eyes were frighteningly bright.

I sighed, "Well, let's go in." ”

Miao Banxian walked forward and said, "It's not bad to be able to go so smoothly, why are you unhappy?" ”

"In this kind of place, the difficulty is better than the simple, and the simple usually means that the danger is greater."

Miao Banxian sighed, everyone knows this, but he is reluctant to say it directly.

I took Xiaobao and walked over, the black egg retreated to my feet, I buckled the crack of the door hooked out by the black egg, and pulled it out hard, the "boom boom" sound repeatedly proved that this door was genuinely heavy, and it was never made of foam.

We walked in slowly, and when the flashlight shone on it, we found that the furnishings on this floor were almost the same as those on the previous floor, including the pillars with dragon patterns, the sarcophagus in the middle, and the stone door behind the sarcophagus.

I wonder if I'm in a labyrinth.
