Chapter 78: Where the Mystery Is
In fact, this situation is the last thing I want to see, like knowing that there is a trap, you have to drill into it. But the only good thing is that I'm not sure it's a trap.
I don't want to speculate, because all speculation is just speculation, maybe it's really like the old prostitute said, even if it's a trap, you have to try it, otherwise you won't know the purpose behind the trap. Sometimes, to explore the other party's purpose, it may be a means to deliberately jump into a trap.
I walked to the altar and looked at the Nakshatra Disk, which looked so beautiful that I wanted to reach out and touch it.
At this time, the old prostitute followed, raised her hand and handed over a dagger, and said, "Do you want me to help you?" ”
I ignored the old prostitute, didn't take the dagger, and reached out and touched the small stone in the Nakshatra disc with my finger. At this time, everyone else came over and asked us what we were doing.
I was about to explain, but my finger hurt as if it had been pricked by something, and I immediately took it back. When I raised my hand, I saw that all three fingers were broken and bleeding. Seeing this, the old prostitute quickly pulled my hand to the star disc and said, "Don't waste it. ”
At this time, I realized that there was blood on the few small stones I had just touched, and it seemed that these small stones had been treated, and they were not as colorful and soft as they seemed on the surface, but in fact, each small stone was extremely sharp, but the sharp place was too small, and the naked eye could not see its sharp side at all.
My blood dripping into the Nakshatra Disc changed, and the blood began to spread around me, irregularly but in a coherent manner. In the Nakshatra Disk, my blood rushed forward like a river, and soon spread around the Nakshatra Disk.
"Oh my god, this is a bit fucking interesting, Xiao Qi, your blood seems to have flowed into the plate."
The old prostitute didn't say that I also saw that the blood had spread to the edge of the disc, but it had not accumulated, and there should be a place for downward flow.
"There's no reaction, isn't there enough blood, such a drop of blood may be too slow, or I'll help you get a knife."
The old prostitute said that he was going to cut my hand with a dagger, and I had the heart to hide, but the hand itself was grabbed by him, and before I could break free, this guy's dagger was already in place, and it was directly scratched in my palm.
At this moment, the blood flow did speed up, and it was clear that my blood was gradually increasing in the star disk.
"There is a voice," the little wolf suddenly said.
As soon as he heard him say that there was a voice, everyone looked around, but the little wolf stared at the ground. Then there was the sound of a mechanism rattling underground, and it felt like there were a lot of gears turning.
At the same time, voices were heard from the sarcophagus.
The stone of the water waves beneath the sarcophagus suddenly moved and was rising. It looks like it's supposed to be an underground mechanism, topping up the rock.
"My god, it should be okay, hold your hand down and don't fucking lose too much blood, I don't want to carry you out." The old prostitute motioned for me to hold down the dagger's cut.
At this moment, I didn't care about it, I didn't know it hurt when I pressed my hand, and my eyes stared straight at the rising stone. The stone was rising faster and faster, and soon it was about to reach the bottom of the sarcophagus above.
"The Crouching Tiger has also moved," Meng Jiji shouted as he stretched out his hand and pointed to the rightmost one under the sarcophagus.
All eyes were on the Crouching Tiger again, and the Crouching Tiger was descending, clearly contrasting with the stone in the middle, rising and falling.
At the moment when we looked at Crouching Tiger, the sarcophagus was jacked up, and soon the sarcophagus tilted and rolled to the side, and the coffin lid was scattered, and a skeleton rolled out of the sarcophagus.
I thought there was something special in this sarcophagus, but I didn't expect that there were ordinary bones inside.
"It's not a stone, it's a sarcophagus." The second uncle exclaimed.
As the stone of the water wave rises higher and higher, the original appearance of the stone is also revealed, and the second uncle is right, this is not a stone, it is a sarcophagus that was buried vertically. There are also carved patterns around the sarcophagus, which look like some kind of totem from ancient times.
At this time, it dawned on me that this was the mystery, and this vertical burial sarcophagus was the purpose that led us here.
Before we could see the general appearance of the totem, just above the sarcophagus ascending, sand began to fall downward. When I looked up, I saw that a hole was gradually opening on the top of the stone directly above the sarcophagus, and it seemed that this mechanism was going to push the sarcophagus to the top of the mouth.
"My god, everyone help move the sarcophagus." The old prostitute pouted her ass and her hands were pushing the sarcophagus that had fallen to the ground.
I thought that the old prostitute had found something valuable and asked everyone to help him move the sarcophagus, so I scolded quietly: "What are you pushing it for?" What the fuck is it, you're still thinking about getting something. ”
"Take your sister, come over and help, the sarcophagus blocked the exit." The old prostitute was struggling when she said this, and the sound she made was a little heartbreaking.
For a while, everyone came to help the old prostitute. I went over and looked, and it was really the exit, and it was just where the Crouching Tiger descended, and there was a row of downward steps. The sarcophagus that rolled down was just half of the exit.
It was so close to the rising sarcophagus that the sand that fell from it happened to fall on our heads, and everyone endured the falling quicksand and pushed the sarcophagus aside. The sarcophagus was pushed to the side, but the falling sand kept falling into the exit below.
After pushing the sarcophagus, I quickly dodged and lowered my head to pull the sand above my head, and at this moment, I heard San'er speak: "Old guy, are you crazy, don't you want to die?" ”
I looked up and saw that the ancient tomb was already filled with sand and dust at this time, and at some point, the Seventh Master had already jumped on top of the rising sarcophagus.
Seeing this, I thought that everyone was going up, and just thought about going over, I was dragged by the second uncle, who said in my ear: "Take them out safely, let's solve the matter here with these old guys." ”
After speaking, the second uncle patted me on the waist, and then stepped on the sarcophagus on the side, jumped up, and the seventh uncle stretched out his hand on it and dragged the second uncle up. Seeing this, the little wolf also jumped up, but before he could stand firmly, he was kicked down by the second uncle.
After the little wolf fell, he was very angry and wanted to go up again, but he was stopped by San'er, but San'er jumped up, and the second uncle and the seventh uncle reached out to pick it up and dragged San'er up.
"Let's go, the affairs of the older generation, let's end it with our old guys." Although San'er covered his mouth with his hand when he spoke, we could still hear clearly.
At this time, the opening on the sarcophagus was getting bigger and bigger, and more and more sand was flowing down, and the three of them were covered in dust.
"We've got to hurry up, because if we don't walk the quicksand, we'll be blocked below. Don't fucking look at it, at most you can go up on that stone, and you can't go up if you want to. ”
As soon as the old prostitute finished shouting, someone pushed me from behind, and when I looked back, it was a little wolf, and he even signaled me to go quickly. The old prostitute was the first to go down the steps, the Meng family's men followed, and the little wolf and I went down last.
When I first walked down, there was already a lot of sand on the steps below, and then the sand began to gradually decrease downward, and the steps began to slow down. But the further down you go, the louder and clearer the sound of the mechanism becomes, and the sound feels like countless chains being dragged through the stones, and there is a rattling sound everywhere.
