Sacrificial bronze tripod

Everything in front of him was incredible, countless life-killing Gu worms suddenly disappeared like ghosts, and Kang Wanquan, a big living person with a voice and a shadow, also disappeared in an instant. I looked around with wide eyes, and everything in front of me gradually blurred and then gradually became clear: the previous three tomb roads became one, as wide as the tomb road when we came, paved with long strips of bluestone, and the tomb walls on both sides were painted with murals of Yizhou Thorn History Death Bliss. The black bull touched the wolf's eye flashlight on the ground with a puzzled face, adjusted the aperture to the minimum, and shone on the section of the tomb we had just run through, only to see the outline of the giant gate reflected at the end of the beam. After adjusting the aperture of this wolf-eye flashlight, the maximum range can reach more than 300 meters, which also shows that we are more than 300 meters away from the tomb gate. After running desperately for a long time, how did we run such a distance, did we feel that there was a problem, or did the cemetery quietly shrink back?

"What's going on? Are we hallucinating? I asked Gao Moli puzzled.

Gao Moli walked up to me and the black bull, looked at all the changes around him, and said lightly, "The illusion mechanism of the tomb has been cracked, and everything that was originally there has disappeared with it. ”

"Illusion traps? Are you saying that the bugs, the three blocked graves, and even the talking Kang Wanquan are all things we fantasize about? It's fucking incredible! Lao Su, I don't have enough brains, you can help me explain. "Black Bull didn't know what was going on for a while.

It dawned on me that in most of the tombs of the dungeon, there are traps, either bows and crossbows that can be shot in a chain, or traps that are connected step by step, or quicksand boulders. When a tomb robber breaks into the dungeon and accidentally triggers the mechanism, most of them will die here. However, the tomb passage of this Yizhou Thorn Tomb was a little calm and bizarre, and we ran recklessly all the way over, and we didn't even trigger any mechanism. This is not because the designers of the dungeon did not set up a deadly mechanism to prevent theft, but designed a more insidious and vicious illusion mechanism. This mechanism almost invisibly kills us.

The illusion traps are located in the murals painted on the walls, the key to which are the bowls filled with blood. According to Gao Moli, the scarlet dye in those bowls was a psychedelic medicine that flourished during the Western Han Dynasty, and its main ingredient was an ancient fungus that grew at the bottom of Dianchi Lake, and the spores of this fungus revived by water and then drifted into the air on their own. The hallucinogens it carries can affect the central nervous system of the person, causing sensory and emotional changes, which can give people an illusion of time and space. When the Nine Palaces Heavenly Gate was opened, the water vapor in the cave poured into the tomb, and the hallucinogenic spores in the tomb were activated when they encountered the water vapor, exuding powerful psychedelic abilities, causing us to imagine a lot of terrifying things.

Not only that, but what is even more terrifying is that Li Shaojun, the designer of the tomb road, buried a death spell when the door was sealed, which is the superior method in Taoist secret arts, which can concretize the conjured things. Therefore, since I cracked the mechanism of the Nine Palaces Heavenly Gate, what we are afraid of will appear, and what appears will be real. Now, Gao Moli has cracked the fantasy mechanism, so everything that has been transformed will disappear.

My wrist was no longer bleeding, but it still hurt faintly. I withdrew a strip of cloth from my backpack and wrapped it around the wound on my wrist, and looked at it carefully, the wound was not deep, but only cut some flesh and capillaries, and the artery was not injured. I was puzzled and asked Gao Moli, "Why do you want to use my blood to crack the hallucinogenic mechanism?" Wouldn't it be more convenient and fresher for you to cut the crossing yourself and drip while walking? ”

Gao Moli pulled out the sapper shovel on the wall, patted the bricks and soil on it, smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, and replied to me, "Only yours is useful." ”

Since he met Gao Moli, he always looked like he was out of the world, and this was the first time I saw him smile, this smile was pure and profound. I vaguely felt that his smile at the moment was not because of how humorous it was, but because of the relief he felt after finally verifying what he had thought and guessed.

I gritted my teeth to tighten the bandage and continued to ask, "Why?" Tell me why. "I thought to myself, he was probably afraid of cutting his own hand, so he would say such things to prevaricate me, anyway, now that the illusion has been lifted, it is impossible for us to verify it with other people's blood again.

Hei Niu sat on the ground with his butt and said to me with a disdainful face, "You are too hypocritical, the little brother just saved our lives again, not to mention asking you for some blood, even if you cut a piece of meat, you have to endure it." ”

Gao Moli didn't answer the words of the black bull, looked at me, paused, and explained very seriously, "This hallucinogenic archaea grows at the bottom of Dianchi Lake, and only your blood has a restraining effect on him. As for the reason, I'll let you know slowly later. ”

Gao Moli's words didn't seem like a joke, which made me wonder even more: Is there another side I don't know or don't recognize?

After hearing this, Hei Niu laughed and quipped, "Hey, Lao Su is still a Hummer with blood, go back and give me two catties, one catty to apply bedside contraception, and one catty to wipe the door to ward off evil spirits." ”

"Yes, paint your bedside, I'm afraid of seeing things that shouldn't be seen, disgusting my 24K pure little blood." After pulling it out, I remembered that Gu Yixin was still covered under her clothes, and the little head that appeared on her neck before may have been imagined by us after seeing the mural, but now, the illusion has been lifted, and the little head she had added out of thin air should also disappear.

I stretched out my feet and boarded the black bull and signaled in the direction of Gu Yixin, and then the two stood up together and walked towards Gu Yixin. The black bull ripped open the shirt that covered Gu Yixin, and the two of us subconsciously looked at her neck, and couldn't help but take a breath: the little head of the flesh was still lying on her neck, squirming slightly under the bright light of the tactical spotlights.

Hei Niu raised his Thompson again and pointed at Gu Yixin, "Damn, the little head is still there!" There's no explanation for that. ”

"What head?" Gu Yixin was puzzled and wanted to reach out to touch it, but his hands were tied. In desperation, she had to shrink her neck and rub it back, only rubbed once, she froze, and asked me with a look of fear: "What is the back of my neck?" ”

I turned my head to stare at the little head on the back of Gu Yixin's neck, and found that although the little head was still squirming, it didn't seem to have those blood-red and vicious eyes before. explained to Gu Yixin in as calm a tone as possible: "That, it's hard for me to describe, you have a small head. As he spoke, Gao Moli walked over.

Gao Moli walked behind Gu Yixin, glanced at it, stretched out his hand and pinched her neck, I thought it was bad, with his strength, this hand must pinch her neck. I hurriedly spoke out to stop it, only to see Gao Moli's hand holding Gu Yixin's neck suddenly pushed up, and the little head fell to the ground all of a sudden, twisting desperately.

I hurriedly stepped forward to check, and saw that the ball of flesh was blood-red and shiny, with two rows of mouthparts on both sides. I laughed secretly in my heart, this fucking was a blood-sucking man-eating leech. Cannibal leeches secrete an anesthetic when they suck human blood, and it's no wonder that Gu Yixin can't feel it.

I looked at the black bull and smiled awkwardly. "That, what, don't be stunned, hurry up and loosen the ties for Xiao Gu. I'll just say, Xiao Gu's roots are red, how can he be a monster? It turned out that there was a misunderstanding, and they all complained about the broken mural that disturbed the audio-visual. Black Bull said, put away Thompson and stepped forward to untie Gu Yixin. The two dead knots were tied too tightly, and I couldn't untie them for a while, so I had to cut them with a paratrooper knife, and Gu Yixin was strangled with two deep blood marks on his wrists, such as wearing two blood-red agate bracelets, I felt a little distressed when I saw it.

The black bull put away the climbing rope, "The quality of this rope is too damn poor, if you tie it lightly, you will strangle the blood mark of Xiao Gu, and I will throw it away when I get out of this ancient tomb!" ”

The lights flashed, and I saw two mercenaries holding the old smoking gun and Zhang Xuefeng walking over slowly, and I was shocked: how did they escape the catastrophe just now?
