I don't know how long it took the people of Buzhou Mountain to dig such a passage, but we walked for at least half an hour, and the darkness ahead was still impenetrable with flashlights.

The tunnel was very wet, the ground was potholed and slippery, so we didn't walk very fast, and occasionally condensed droplets fell from above the tunnel and hit our heads and shoulders with a "snapping" sound.

In addition to these irregular "clicking" sounds, at first I could only hear the footsteps of everyone walking, but as I walked deeper and deeper, there was a sound similar to the sound of water hitting iron plates.

The sound was rapid and continuous, and it seemed that the water was falling from a high ground, and the flow was huge.

After about ten minutes, the sound became clearer, as if it were right in my ears.

For a moment, the noise suddenly became extremely harsh, and my head hurt, and Huang Zhenye, who was walking in front, had weak legs and fell directly to the ground.

After that, the surroundings fell silent, as if the water and iron plates that had just appeared around me had disappeared out of thin air.

Yan Yanan and I hurriedly rushed to Huang Zhenye and flipped his body over.

Yan Yanan first asked, "Are you okay?" He picked up the flashlight again and shone on Huang Zhenye's face.

As soon as the light hit Huang Zhenye's face, Yan Yanan's shoulders trembled, and my heart trembled, and I saw that Huang Zhenye's nostrils and mouth were dripping blood in large strands, and his eyes were full of slimy liquid, as if it was blood, and it seemed to be something like snot, under the illumination of the beam, everything was almost only black and white, and I couldn't tell what it was.

Yan Yanan frowned tightly, reached out to test Huang Zhenye's snort and pulse, turned his head and said to me, "It's dead." ”

"Dead? Wasn't it okay just now, how did you die? ”

As I spoke, I found that I also had a strong smell of blood in my mouth.

After Yan Yanan's gaze moved to my face, he suddenly became worried: "What's wrong with you?" ”

I spat and the smell of blood in my mouth faded a little, and when I touched my nose again, I realized that I was also bleeding from my nose.

Yan Yanan hurriedly stood up and shone the side light of the flashlight on my face: "Why do you have a nosebleed?" What's going on? ”

Thinking of the strange sound that had just appeared, and the sudden headache, I understood everything.

Yan Yanan asked me with great concern, "Are you okay?" ”

I waved my hand at her, "I'm fine. ”

After speaking, he looked at Yan Yanan's face again, and she didn't have anything to do, so he asked her again, "Did you feel a headache just now?" ”

Yan Yanan shook his head: "No." ”

"Do you hear that noise?"

"What noise?"

"I can't describe it, it's like ...... Someone placed a large iron plate under the waterfall, and when the water hit the iron plate, it made a series of muffled sounds. You didn't hear that? ”

Yan Yanan still shook his head.

That's weird.

I pondered for a moment and pointed to Huang Zhenye's corpse: "Can you tell how he died?" ”

Yan Yanan: "It seems that his brain was shattered by something, I suspect that Shi Huayin may have planted Gu on him...... But what's the matter with you, you are the descendant of the Winter Character Vein, and you have a high poison in your blood, Shi Huayin's Gu technique shouldn't work for you. ”

"It shouldn't have been Shi Huayin's doing," I pointed to the darkness ahead, "Do you want to keep going?" ”

As soon as I asked this question, I realized that this was simply an overkill, and without waiting for Yan Yanan to give me a response, I grabbed the flashlight from her hand and continued to move forward with the light.

As for Huang Zhenye's body, I'll deal with it when I come back.

Seriously, I don't know when I started to become so cold, and I barely felt the slightest wave in my heart as I watched a fresh life disappear in front of me.

I asked the second master about this later, and I heard the second master say that not paying attention to human life is a common problem of the family, not that we regard human life as a mustard, but because the ancestors of the family have been living on the battlefield, and they are used to seeing the mountains of corpses and the sea of blood, and they have long seen the thing of life and death.

And the ancestors' disregard for life has also been passed down with the bloodline and lodged in the true nature of the descendants.

The second master also said that the moment my true nature was stimulated, the imprint of my ancestors had already appeared on my body, and sooner or later, I would completely become another person because of this true nature.

It's true that some things will change, but some things will always stay, at least for now, I'm still me.

I walked in front, and Yan Yanan followed me silently, without saying a word.

I know that if we can turn back halfway, when Huang Zhenye said that only people from the old family can enter the armory, Yan Yanan will not continue to venture in.

Since Shi Huayin couldn't open the door of the armory, he naturally couldn't get the things inside.

No one knows why Yan Yanan had to go to see the armory, but I think she had a reason for doing it.

And Yan Yanan will never harm me, I firmly believe in this.

When Huang Zhenye died, we had already walked most of the way in the tunnel, and half an hour had passed, and a huge yin wind gust appeared in front of me.

In addition to the flowing yin qi, there were also some dark green smoke deposited on the ground, and the wind was obviously very strong, but those dark green smoke was not stirred and stuck to the ground.

The second master said that both demonic qi and corpse qi may show such a color, considering that Yu Yanan said that there were evil corpses in the tomb before, those dark green smoke should also be corpse qi.

Yan Yanan leaned over to me, looked at the yin wind in front of me for a moment, then turned to me and said, "Be careful, the ghost aura in front is very heavy." ”

I scratched my temples: "What kind of ghost qi is Qi?" ”

Yan Yanan: "Ghost qi is not a hot field, but a smell that only our family can smell." The ordinary spirit has a slight sourness on its body, the smell on the ghost is close to the fragrance of jasmine, and the taste on the fierce god is a bitter taste similar to Chinese medicine. ”

When she said this, I shrugged my nose and sniffed, but I could only smell a heavy burnt smell wafting through the air, not the three smells she mentioned.

I couldn't help frowning: "Why can I only smell burnt?" ”

Yan Yanan: "That's the unique smell of the ghost, the ancient books of the old family say that the ghost in the underworld is different from other ghosts, their minds are intact, and there is no smell on their bodies, but because they have been in the underworld for a long time, their bodies will be stained with the smell of yellow spring water." ”

"That's weird," I looked at Yan Yanan: "Didn't you say that the old family never believed in the existence of the Netherworld, why do the words "Netherworld" and "ghost" still appear in the ancient books at home?" ”

Yu Yanan said: "For our old family, the underworld and the ghost are just a name, although the ancient books mention the underworld and the ghost, but it is also said that the underworld should be a special realm that is extremely yin and can attract ghosts to gather, but there are no gods in it." The so-called ghost cha is just a fierce god who has not lost his mind, and the yellow spring water is not a river or a spring, but a special power that can keep the fierce god awake. ”

I pouted: "I don't think such an explanation is a bit far-fetched." ”

"I've always felt the same way," Yan Yanan sighed, "But the old man in the family is convinced of the explanations in the ancient books, and he doesn't know why." Okay, let's go, it's best to find the armory before Shi Huayin kills him. ”

I nodded, and then grabbed my flashlight and dived into the whirlpool where the wind gathered.

According to Yan Yanan's speculation, Yu Dayou planted a yin wind array here, probably to use the yin qi to block the people who sneaked here, for ordinary people who do not have mental power to protect their bodies, such a heavy yin qi is enough to be fatal. But even if the person who comes in will not understand death, the mind will be eaten away by the yin qi, causing a fierce nature, if several people touch in together, they will kill each other, if only one person sneaks in alone, he will go crazy and self-harm until death.

Coupled with the fact that there was originally an evil corpse stationed here, the layout here was almost impossible for ordinary tomb robbers to crack, and once they set foot in it, they would be dead and dead.

Since the Yin Wind Array was used to keep out tomb robbers, the closer you got to the armory, the stronger the Yin Qi should be.

Therefore, we still looked for the direction where the yin qi was most intense, and the deeper we went, the heavier the burning smell in the air became, and the less corpse qi was deposited on the ground.

I asked Yan Yanan, is it the danger of the yin wind here, or the danger of the underground palace sandwiched between the tunnel and the karst cave?

Yan Yanan said, of course, the layout in the dungeon is more dangerous, there are yin wind arrays in front and back of the dungeon, such a feng shui layout is called "yin candle lighting", that is, it is like lighting a faint candle fire in the night when the wind is raging, according to the human instinct to avoid yin and yang, it will naturally move closer to the position where the candlelight appears.

But once you get close to the candle flame, it is like a moth to a fire, and if it touches a spark, it will definitely die.

The underground palace connected to the cave is the candle flame.

Listening to the meaning of Yan Yanan, the front and back entrances and exits of the dungeon should have been arranged, and these two doors will completely isolate the yin qi in the dungeon, so if you just look at it from the outside, you will think that there is no yin qi in the dungeon. But once you step into that door, you will find that the yin qi inside is much heavier than the outside, and in addition to the yin qi, there must also be powerful mechanisms arranged in the dungeon, as well as a large number of ghosts and evil corpses.

If you die in the Yin Wind Array, if you are lucky, you can still leave a whole corpse, but if you die in the underground palace, it will be a ruin of ashes, and there will not even be a single bit of flesh and blood left.

But no matter what, Yu Dayou is not a ruthless person after all, he left a secret passage in the cave, just to let the tomb robbers know the difficulties and retreat. But the vast majority of tomb robbers have a kind of "thieves don't go empty" mentality, and I'm afraid they won't accept Yu Dayou's favor.

Listening to what Yan Yanan said for a long time, I couldn't help but wonder: "Since the layout in the dungeon is so powerful, why didn't Yu Dayou put the Netherworld Tongbao there?" ”

Yan Yanan shook his head: "I can't figure this out either, maybe, he put the Netherworld Treasure in the armory, just hoping that one day, someone will come and take it away." Alas, it's actually a little early to discuss this kind of issue, after all, we are not sure if there is a Netherworld treasure in the armory. ”
