After sweeping around with a flashlight, I can see the whole picture of the relief.

It is a carved mountain, the carving is very authentic, it should be the handwriting of a famous artist, the whole mountain is depicted extremely delicately, even the caves and rivers on the mountain can be seen clearly, but the river is not depicted flowing water, and the top of the whole mountain is also like being neatly cut off by a giant sword, leaving only the lower half of the mountain.

It is indeed a back-shaded mountain.

I remember the first time I went out on a foreign order, I also saw this thing in Yu Dayou's arsenal, but the back of that time was poured out of molten iron, and the one in front of me was just a relief.

Although the craftsmanship is different, the more I look at it, the more I feel that the appearance and details of the two mountains are almost carved out of the same mold.

You must know that Beiyin Mountain is just a thing in mythological stories, and if you want to make it, you can only rely on imagination, but I have never heard that different people can imagine things that can be exactly the same.

Although the size of the iron cast mountain and the relief is not particularly large, the workmanship is so meticulous that it would definitely take a hundred years to complete them by the strength of one person alone.

I don't believe that these two things came from the same person, but one thing is for sure, and that is that the people who made them have the exact same reference.

And this reference is likely to be the backshade mountain itself.

Li Huaishan leaned over and swept a few glances at the stone screen: "What kind of mountain is this, the top of the mountain is still broken?" ”

Sun Luyuan crossed his arms and explained slowly: "It's called Beiyin Mountain, it is the last gateway of the Nine Secluded Underground Mansion, legend has it that the things that are suppressed behind this mountain are the most powerful evil things in the Three Realms, and they can devour the heavens and the earth if they take one out alone." ”

I've never been very sympathetic to these myths and legends: "Legends are generally not very reliable. If such a powerful thing had appeared in ancient times, human beings would have ceased to exist a long time ago. ”

"How do you know that that something like that didn't exist before, and you haven't been to ancient times." Sun Luyuan's view is obviously the exact opposite of mine.

"I only know that the iterative renewal of human civilization is driven by science and technology. Stone can't beat bronze, bronze can't beat iron, swords can't beat ships and guns, human society can develop to the present, relying on craftsmen and scholars, and the role that people like us can play is very limited. With that, I looked away from the stone screen and pointed my flashlight at a stone door on the right.

Sun Luyuan was a little unconvinced: "What you said seems to be redundant in our business?" You should have heard of it, a few decades ago, there were corpses in the Kunchao Mountain area, if it weren't for Chai Zongyuan and Zhang Zhenren teaming up to suppress the corpses, the Yang world would have been a pot of porridge. ”

As soon as he said this, I really don't know how to refute it, the original Kunlun Mountain corpse chaos, the old family's classics are indeed recorded, because the time of the incident is very close to modern times, the details of the incident are recorded in detail, it should not be fictional.

I pursed my lips and only replied: "I didn't say that our business is redundant, not only did I never say it, but I never thought about it that way." ”

In order to prevent Sun Luyuan from continuing to entangle, I took two quick steps and came to the stone gate with a flashlight.

On the ground next to the bottom of the door, there stood a quadrangular pyramid, the size of a fist, that looked like a small pyramid.

I crouched down and took a closer look, and I saw that there were runes carved on the four cones, which I had never seen before, and I didn't know what they were for.

"Ergou, go and have a look on the other side." As I spoke, I picked up my flashlight and shone on the door on the left side of the stone screen.

Li Huaishan swept the light in the past, turned around and shouted at me: "There is also an awl in this place." ”

I frowned, tried to put my hand on the pyramid, and with a slight break, the bottom of the cone was attached to the shaft, and with a little force, it turned a little distance.

If I guessed correctly, the quadrangular pyramid in front of the two doors should be the mechanism used to open the door, and the eight cones of the two cones must be turned to the correct position before the stone door can start at the same time, and it is useless to rotate one of the pyramids alone.

The Luban book records a kind of mechanism arrangement called "horn array", and the principle is the same as the current arrangement.

The key problem was that I didn't recognize the runes on the cones and didn't know how to turn them.

Sun Luyuan leaned over to take a look, and kept shaking his head.

I looked at Huang Yuzhong and Li Huaishan again, and the two of them were also staring at the pyramid and didn't speak for a long time.

Since I don't know how to fiddle with these mechanisms, I'll have to force myself on.

Sun Luyuan saw me get up suddenly, as if he saw through my intentions, and asked me with some concern: "You don't have any plans to do it, do you?" ”

I glanced back at him, "Is there any other way?" ”

Sun Luyuan stroked the beard on his chin and shook his head helplessly.

Then I didn't delay any longer, quickly approached the stone door, put ten fingers through the crack at the bottom of the door, and firmly grasped the door panel, fortunately, the door panel was not too thick, and I could hold it by the length of my fingers alone.

I tried to push the door panel, and immediately felt a very stiff resistance, and I couldn't push it at all, and then I tried to pull it outward, and the door panel shook slightly.

The door was locked with a mechanism, the shaft was surprisingly hard, and I tried to push it twice in quick succession, but I couldn't pull it open.

"Come here, hug my waist, and pull back hard."

Li Huaishan and the others immediately came over, and the three of them hugged my waist and shoulders at the same time, and I shouted: "Fight hard!" Everyone worked together to forcibly pull the door panel.

To be honest, the strength of the three of them was added to me, and I didn't feel much of it, but my waist was strangled a little painful.

But with everyone's efforts, the door panel was indeed pulled apart little by little, and the pyramid on the ground was slowly turning.

The stone door was completely opened, and there was a crisp "click" sound under the two quadrangular pyramids at the same time, as if it was fixed by something, and then a large stream of corpse qi and yin qi rushed along the doorway.

The two evil qi seem to repel each other, once they gush out, the wind in the basement becomes particularly chaotic, I looked at the dark passage through the vision of the quicksand of the Qi Sea, but there is no evil qi rushing in, all the Qi fields are the same as the wind, just scurrying around in the basement.

"Be careful." I waved sideways to the person behind me and slipped into the doorway.

The space on the other side of the stone gate is very large, I can't estimate its area for a while, when the white beam sweeps in front, a large area of thick cement piers are illuminated, the local soil is relatively soft, these piers, is used to support the ceiling.

Walking in the darkness supported by concrete piers is like entering a jungle shrouded in night, and the thick cement piers are like large bare giant tree trunks.

The evil qi here is extremely quiet, except for a small amount of Qi field outflow at the door, the evil qi in other areas is the same as stagnant water, there is not even a little wave, plus there is almost no flowing yang qi nearby, the vision of the Qi Sea quicksand is completely useless.

I used to hear the second master say that my left eye is not a psychic eye, it is a ghost eye, and I can see other things except the quicksand of the Qi Sea, but the words of the second master have never been formalized, until now.

Without the contours of the quicksand of the Qi Sea, I could see other colors in my left eye.

In the darkness, there seemed to be a faint glimmer of bright green, which was extremely unclear, but I was sure that the green light was indeed there. It's just that at that time, I didn't know what this vague light represented.

"There seems to be a burial chamber up ahead." Huang Yuzhong's voice suddenly appeared, causing everyone to pause.

His tone was flustered, and I could feel that Huang Yuzhong's lips were trembling as he said each word.

Sun Luyuan asked him in a low voice, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Everyone heard Huang Yuzhong swallow his saliva, and then heard him say again: "Broken corpses, there are many broken corpses in front of them, one by one." There was a little red light coming out of the back of the shredded corpse, and I thought it might be a tomb gate. ”

It just so happened that Huang Yuzhong was following behind me at that time, so I raised a hand and patted him lightly on the shoulder: "Take a deep breath and keep your mind." In such a place, there is absolutely no panic. ”

Huang Yuzhong nodded tremblingly, his breath still not very steady.

I didn't want to say too much, so I waved behind me and continued to move forward in the dark.

At this time, you really can't talk too much, the more you talk to Huang Yuzhong, the more stable he will be in his heart, Li Huaishan was like this before.

In fact, in this kind of environment, let alone a rookie like Huang Yuzhong, even I am a little nervous, Li Huaishan and Sun Luyuan are estimated to be the same, but old birds like us know very well in our hearts that it is useless for you to be nervous at this time, anyway, the way to go is still to go, and the things to be done still have to be done, to put it bluntly, it is also a bit of an old fritter mentality.

People are like this, once they are sleek and skinny, they are not afraid of many things.

Walking along the darkness, I will pay attention to Huang Yuzhong from time to time during this period, this kid is still quite competitive, and his breath is gradually stabilizing.

Walking deeper, the flashlight could already illuminate the corpses on the ground, all of them were the remains of dead babies, some of them had broken hands and feet, and many of them had lost most of their heads, and each of them was swollen all over, and there was a strong corpse gas on their bodies.

They were all dismembered after undergoing a corpse transformation.

At this point, I could already see a little red light emerging from the front, very faint and not easily discernible in the dark.

Whoa, whoa......

Just as the red light just appeared, there was a sudden rush of noise not far away.

It sounded like chains rubbing against the ground quickly, and I could even faintly hear the rings colliding with each other.

I immediately turned off the flashlight, turned my head sideways and whispered: "Grab the backpack of the person in front of you, Sun Luyuan, turn off the flashlight after you catch Li Huaishan." ”

While speaking, I pushed Huang Yuzhong to the front of the team, and grabbed his backpack, and Li Huaishan behind him also grabbed my backpack, and a second later, Sun Luyuan turned off the flashlight, the beam disappeared, and the darkness almost completely enveloped us, but the red light that emerged in front of him became a little clearer.
