Chapter 284: The Crypt's Mechanism
As soon as Li Qian's words fell, Li Changze shouted "Be careful", and then pushed us all to the side.
With a "whoosh", a cold arrow grazed the tip of my nose, scaring me into a cold sweat.
"The defense mechanism has been activated, everyone be careful!" Li Qian said as he stretched out the shield to help us resist the cold arrows in the front, and I also stretched out the earth shield to ensure the safety of the rear.
We trotted all the way and followed Li Qianchong, as long as we entered the main tomb first and let Li Qian's soul return to the body, we were not afraid of someone fighting for it.
From time to time, cold arrows passed by, and because of the shield, they leaned to the side and hit the walls of the tomb, crackling. We ran all the way down, and suddenly there was a huge black hole under our feet, and a large black hole appeared in the floor, and a group of people fell down.
"Not good!" Li Qian's eyes were quick, he stretched out his arm to grab the edge of the floor, and the other hand firmly grasped me.
I immediately grabbed Ling Xi again, and Ling Xi reached out to grab Li Changze, but the two missed each other.
"Li Changze!" Li Qian and I exclaimed at the same time, fortunately Xiao Hei was brave, jumped down from Ling Xi's shoulder, grabbed his collar horn, and then firmly grabbed Ling Xi's trouser leg with his paws, and finally didn't let him fall.
But it is not a way for a person's weight to rely entirely on the cat's paws to pick up his pants, "stab", Ling Xi screamed badly, I quickly released the dragon, entangled Li Changze's body alive, and sent him up first.
We climbed up from below with great difficulty, looked at the bottomless black hole, and breathed a sigh of relief.
"I said, can't you turn these mechanisms off, how dangerous!" Li Changze still had palpitations in his heart, and looked at Ling Xi's pants that had turned into strips of rag and the black cat with round eyes and thanked him.
"If the mechanism is turned off, who will take care of those guys who sneak into the tomb, and they will touch the body of the master first, will it be yours to resist?" Li Qian glared at him, "For today's plan, we can only compete in speed, and whoever reaches the main tomb first will win." ”
"Then at least we can find a passage without a mechanism to go down, since we came down from Qi Yueban's house, isn't it a safe route?" Li Changze was a little unwilling.
"None of the tombs are safe routes." Li Qian opened his mouth and directly extinguished his illusions, "Back then, my father was afraid that the descendants of the Li family would be blackmailed and let people enter the tomb, so he set up organs everywhere. Once touched from a certain location, the entire catacomb's defense mechanism is triggered. ”
"Isn't it?" Li Changze cried with a sad face, "There is not even a safe passage, aren't you afraid that your own people will touch it by mistake?" ”
Li Qian didn't look at him: "Maybe there is, but the time is too long, I don't remember." ”
"Hey! Is this your grave or not? Li Changze began to complain.
"There is more than one entrance to the tomb, we opened the most normal one, and the others will be exposed one after another, presumably this is how those guys found it. As I said just now, when this tomb was built, the master was already dead, how could he know what kind of structure was inside, and it would not be easy to take you to find the physical body. ”
Li Qian said while leading us forward, "Besides, this is also for the safety of the master's body, otherwise I am afraid that it will not survive for so many years." ”
Thinking about it, Li Qian may only know how to enter the tomb safely and find his body, if you want to crack the mechanism, it may really take some effort.
So we proceeded cautiously while maintaining speed. Li Qian told us that the whole tomb is under the village, in the shape of a gossip diagram, which is a formation of gathering qi. There are a total of eight passages to enter the tomb, with eight gates of gossip.
His physical body was in the center of the entire formation, although the location was directly below my house, but in order to get there, he had to walk through the entire tomb and collect the eight night pearls from the eight entrances.
The entrance to my house is the location of the "Birth Gate" of the Eight Gates, and there are also "Death Gate", "Jing Gate", "Hugh Gate", "Wounded Gate", "Du Gate", "Surprise Gate", and "Open the Door". In addition to the three gates of "birth", "opening" and "rest", which are considered auspicious gates, the other five doors are all fierce doors.
Normally, if you go down from the passage of my house, if you don't touch the mechanism, start from the Shengmen, and go through the seven gates of "Injury", "Du", "Jing", "Death", "Shock", "Open", and "Rest" in turn, and get the Night Pearl, and you can enter the main tomb unscathed.
But once someone doesn't follow the rules and takes another path, it will change the location of the eight gates in the entire tomb, making this an extremely dangerous place.
"If we continue to move forward like this, it should be the location of the Night Pearl of Shengmen, and when we take the Night Pearl, we will continue to find the way, and we must collect all eight beads before we can enter the main tomb." Li Qian said as he resisted the hidden weapon in front of him.
Speaking of which, we are quite safe here, although the cold arrows are swishing, and there are traps, the road is not so difficult to walk, probably because of the relationship between the living gates here, I don't know what the situation of the other seven doors is. Perhaps this is the only way to defend against foreign enemies more effectively.
After the cold arrow, they arrived at an empty burial chamber, and on the stone platform in the middle, a shining pearl was placed.
"That's it!" Li Qian's voice was a little excited.
Li Changze grabbed him: "Hey, you go over like this, aren't you afraid of what kind of mechanism is in front of you?" ”
Li glanced at him: "The master is a ghost, he can float over directly, if he is replaced by your mortal body, it will be easy to touch the mechanism!" ”
Thinking about it, Li Qian returned to his own body, and the method of entering the tomb was something he could know, and when designing this tomb, of course, he had to consider this.
We stood at the door, and Li Qian went over alone, and got the night pearl very smoothly. Just then the door opened, revealing a passageway, and he beckoned us over.
"I think that after getting a Night Pearl, it will trigger the mechanism of the next door, and if you go down, you will always get eight beads. Now I hope that Dao Zun's people can die under the mechanism, if they get the Night Pearl, it will inevitably be another big war! If you don't get all the beads, no one wants to go in. ”
After Li Qian finished speaking, he took the beads in his arms and took us to the next place.
If you go again at this time, it will be no better than the beginning, and it will be obviously difficult.
Because the ground inside the door is not only uneven, but also a sharp knife with an upside-down handle, the tip of the knife faintly glows with a cold light, and if you accidentally step on it, it will be directly penetrated by the knife.
"Look at the point, try to walk in the gaps, and try not to touch other places as much as possible." After Li Qian's advice, he lit up for us.
This place is very small, and I can't let the sprite clone fly us through, and I can't even let one out, let alone make it huge, enough to hold up us mortals.
Except for Xiao Hei who followed Li Qian lightly, the three of us can be said to be highly concentrated, for fear of making mistakes.
There was a faint smell of blood, and Xiao Hei screamed twice and ran to the front, stopped in one place, and then kept screaming.
Li Qian turned the flashlight there, and we also stopped and looked over there together. I saw a few corpses of black-robed Taoist priests lying there, and it seemed that they should have been hit by the mechanism here and nailed there.
Looking at their rolled eyes and cut bodies, I was a little disgusted, and Li Qian also moved the flashlight over: "Look at the soles of your feet, and when you get to the front, step on them." ”
It is estimated that these are the victims of Daozun, when we passed, we obviously saw that they also had other footprints on their bodies, they must have triggered the mechanism, were used as experiments, and then made stepping stones.
"If you open this tomb once, you have to kill a large number of people, and you will create evil, it is really evil!" Li Changze complained about Li Qian as he walked.
Li Qiantou didn't reply: "It's good to only open it once, how many times do you want to come down?" ”
The two of them didn't quarrel anymore, after this knife formation, the front was even more dangerous, and it turned out to be a constantly moving needle board!
Looking at the bright red corpse hanging on it, I made up the picture of the Dao Venerable's people passing through again.
Li Qian approached first, Xu was because of the ghost body, and all the organs here would not hurt him: "Master took a look, the needleboard moves according to a certain law, as long as the time is calculated, it is still possible to dodge the attack." ”
He said and hooked his hands: "Master is here for you to see, come over one by one." ”
Xiao Hei took the lead in "meowing" and passed smoothly with a very agile attitude, and the next one was Ling Xi.
"Little July, my brother will try it for you first, if I'm okay, you can go over at my speed." After Ling Xi finished speaking, he exerted his strength with both feet and saw the opportunity to rush over.
He is already good at leg skills, and his speed is fast, and there was no difficulty in the past.
I thought about it, maybe I could use Tiankui Doubu to increase my speed, so I was also ready to act, but was stopped by Li Changze: "Qi Yueban, I'll go first." I may have trouble with my speed at this frequency, and if something happens to me, you can take my blood away so that you can open the main tomb. ”
My chest tightened, and I slapped him on the shoulder: "Li Changze, do you still have a little bit of talent, a people's policeman, don't think about this kind of sacrifice at every turn!" In this way, I will give you a swift talisman that will increase your speed, so that you will not be afraid. ”
He was so happy that I put a charm on his leg and patted him on the shoulder: "Go! ”
Sure enough, with the help of the Xunxing Talisman, he passed smoothly, except that the corners of his clothes were slightly rubbed a little, there were no other problems.
Next, it's my turn.
I saw the right moment, and rushed forward with a step.
At this time, I didn't know where there was a "click", I was slightly stunned, and I didn't care.
I heard Li Qian shouting: "Yue'er, be careful, the law of this formation will change!" ”
I was slightly startled and hurriedly paid attention to the needleboard in front of me.
Sure enough, according to the law, the board that should be still at this moment suddenly slapped at me.
"Little July!" Ling Xi shouted nervously.
At the critical moment, I twisted my waist and led my body in a strange direction, and the soles of my feet exerted force, and the movements kept up, which was able to avoid the past.
However, the next needle board was slapped against me.
