Chapter 127: The Four Converge
Gu Xianmi opened his eyes suddenly, and found that he had appeared in the left ear chamber of the ancient tomb. At this moment www.biquge.info he was standing in front of the mural on the wall on the right side of the ear chamber, and the "Wangmu Terrace" that he suspected to be the altar of the Onmyoji was in front of him.
Gu Xianmi took two steps back, quietly felt his state, and after confirming that there was no problem, he walked in front of the thief cave.
"Director Wang! Zhou Jie! Have you found Zhonghui? Gu Xianmi shouted loudly at the entrance of the cave.
"Brother Gu, I found it! Zhonghui didn't know what was going on, and fainted below! Come down and take a look! Zhou Jie's voice came out of the thief cave.
Gu Xianmi immediately burrowed into the thief hole, and then jumped into the space below from the downward hole. As soon as Gu Xianmi fell to the ground, he saw Zhou Jie shining a flashlight on Kang Zhonghui who was lying on the ground, and Director Wang was squatting beside Kang Zhonghui to check his condition.
Gu Xianmi also turned on the flashlight, walked over and asked, "What's the matter?" How could Zhonghui pass out under this? ”
"I don't know, when Director Wang found him, he was like this." Zhou Jie said with a frown.
At this time, Kang Zhonghui's eyes suddenly opened, he looked at Wang Dao, Zhou Jie, and Gu Xianmi who were squatting beside him, and said in confusion: "Master, Brother Gu, Brother Jie, you... Hey, why am I here? ”
"Zhonghui, are you alright? Don't you know why you're here, and do you remember what happened after you and we split up for the search? Director Wang pulled Kang Zhonghui up, and then asked.
"Master, I'm fine. Well, I was searching in the upper ear chamber, but then I heard the voice of a person coming from the cave, and I thought that the archaeological team or Zhao Ziqi's men had discovered this place, and hurriedly prepared to look for you. But as soon as I took a step, I found myself suddenly in the main burial chamber.
And then... Then the headless bloody corpse that had fought with Master was actually resurrected, which frightened me. With a wave of his hand, the Bloody Corpse summoned a blood-red sword and a suit of blood-red armor and fought me. Just when I could barely support it, a blinding white light suddenly appeared in front of my eyes. When I feel the white light disappear and open my eyes, I will see you. Kang Zhonghui said.
"Zhonghui, you are also in a fantasy world?! It seems that this is not my problem alone. Zhou Jie, Brother Gu, what about you? Director Wang turned around and asked.
Gu Xianmi nodded and said, "I also fell into an illusion, and my illusion is similar to Zhonghui." Director Wang, when did you fall into the illusion? Is it after entering the thief cave? ”
Director Wang said: "Yes, I was in a hurry to find Zhonghui, so I got into the thief hole all of a sudden. But as soon as I got inside, I found myself suddenly in the company. Then the Qianyan Demon who had fought with me actually appeared in the company and fought with me without saying anything. It was only after I fought with the Qianyan Demon for a long time that I finally defeated it using the Spirit Liberation Technique. When the Dry Flame Demon fell to the ground, a blinding white light suddenly appeared in front of my eyes. When I felt the white light disappear and opened my eyes, I found myself here, and Kang Zhonghui was lying next to me. Zhou Jie, what about you? ”
Zhou Jie touched his chin and said, "My illusion is similar to that of Brother Gu and Zhonghui, I entered the illusion when I jumped into here from the entrance of the cave. ”
"Brother Gu, this is a bit strange, the four of us have all fallen into an illusion unknowingly, this is not something that an ordinary illusion array can do. But such a powerful phantom array ended so quickly, it shouldn't be. Moreover, who set up this phantom array, and what exactly does TA want to do? Director Wang said with a frown.
"Indeed, if TA wants to be against us, such a powerful illusion array should be able to trap us in the illusion for a long time." Gu Xianmi glanced up at Director Wang, and then said.
"Brother Gu, what should we do now? Do you want to retreat first, or continue to explore the tomb? Zhou Jie asked.
Gu Xianmi was silent for a while, and said: "This ancient tomb is not as simple as we thought before, I just found a high platform pattern that looks like an Onmyoji altar on the mural on the left ear chamber. I suspect that the original owner of this ancient tomb, Liu Fa, may not be as simple as we think, so I want to study it again. What do you think? ”
"I feel like since we're witchers, we shouldn't leave without figuring out anything, it's our obligation. I support staying. Director Wang raised his hand and said.
Kang Zhonghui and Zhou Jie also nodded, so the four of them climbed up to the entrance of the cave and returned to the ear chamber on the left side again.
"You see, it's this high platform, exactly the same as the text description of the Onmyoji altar I saw in ancient books." Gu Xianmi pointed to the "Wangmu Terrace" on the mural and said to the three of them.
Zhou Jie leaned over, looked at the mural and said: "I remember that my great-uncle and grandfather introduced this mural at that time, and he said that this high platform was Liu Fa, who was known for his filial piety, and after being named the queen of Changsha, he transported rice to Chang'an and brought back the "Wangmu Terrace" built by the soil of Chang'an. Brother Gu, you said it looks exactly the same as the altar of the Onmyoji? ”
"Yes, that's right, the high platforms in the Western Han Dynasty were all built of rammed earth, mostly square or trapezoidal. In this mural, however, the so-called 'Wangmu Terrace' is a pentagonal platform, and this characteristic high platform is exactly the same as the characteristics of the Onmyoji altar. Gu Xianmi nodded and said.
"That's... What does this mean? Could it be that Liu Fa is an onmyoji? Does this have anything to do with the movement and disappearance of the Sprite? Director Wang walked over and asked suspiciously.
"To be honest, I don't know much right now. However, I fell into a hallucination when I discovered this 'Wangmu Terrace', and we must be careful with this kind of onmyoji thing. Now that the Onmyoji has reappeared, if this Liu Fa is really related to the Onmyoji, I'm afraid they won't let it go. Gu Xianmi said with some concern.
Zhou Jie on the side said: "But... What secrets are hidden here? This is the second time we've entered this tomb, and we haven't found anything. ”
"I'd like to take the coffin apart and take a look. There must be a reason why the Spirits have repaired the coffin so well. Perhaps, we can find a clue by dismantling the coffin. Gu Xianmi looked at the main burial chamber and said.
"Didn't Jiang Ying go in and take a look, do we still have to open the coffin?" Zhou Jie asked.
Gu Xianmi put his hand in his pocket and said as he walked towards the main tomb: "Look at it, I think the coffin should be the key to this ancient tomb." ”
Director Wang immediately followed Gu Xianmi into the main tomb, while Zhou Jie and Kang Zhonghui glanced at each other, and then walked in as well.
The coffin built by Liu Fa is made of white plaster mud and charcoal, which can insulate the air very well, and the structure is also very compact. However, in the battle between Wang Dao, Zhou Jie and the blood corpse, the coffin room was demolished. The chamber was later restored with space magic, but there was still no way to compare it to before. With just a Swiss knife, Gu Xianmi easily dug a hole in the outer wall of the coffin.
Director Wang asked Gu Xianmi: "Brother Gu, I'm here to help too." What do I need to do? ”
Gu Xianmi put away the knife and said, "Director Wang, wait a minute, it's still too time-consuming to dig like this." Then Gu Xianmi clasped his hands together and shouted, "Vajra Dharma Body! A layer of golden light immediately flooded out of Gu Xianmi's body.
Gu Xianmi took a deep breath, squatted in a lunge, put his right fist in his chest, and shouted with mantra: "Break!" At the same time, his right fist slammed into the small pit he had dug before! A golden light flashed out at the place where Gu Xianmi's right fist came into contact with the outer wall of the coffin, and then golden cracks crawled all over the entire outer wall!
Gu Xianmi accepted the Vajra Dharma Body, and said to Wang Dao and Zhou Jie and Kang Zhonghui who came over: "The structure of this wall has been broken up by me, and now it is much faster to dig up. Be careful, though, if you dig too fast, the entire wall will collapse. ”
Director Wang looked at Gu Xianmi with some dumbfoundedness, nodded, and then began to dig the outer wall. Zhou Jie and Kang Zhonghui also joined the team and helped Director Wang and Gu Xianmi dig up together.
Due to the fact that the repair of the dragon spirit could not reach the original level of the coffin, coupled with Gu Xianmi's powerful mantra technique combined with the heavy fist of the vajra method, the outer wall on this side of the coffin room was quickly dug up by the four people.
"Brother Gu, what do you say will happen to the spirit if he chooses not to turn into a spirit corpse after breaking free from the shackles of the coffin?" Wang Dao threw away the dug charcoal and asked Gu Xianmi.
Gu Xianmi wiped his sweat, thought for a moment and said, "According to your previous description, the evolution level of this dragon is already very high, almost reaching the limit that the spirit body can reach. So, the pursuit of promotion is certainly not its goal. I guess it might satisfy its most primitive obsessions. ”
Director Wang stopped, looked at Gu Xianmi in surprise and said, "Brother Gu, do you mean...... This sprite is a collection of tomb robbers who have been obsessed with projecting on the coffin for thousands of years, so it will go to rob the tomb?! ”
Gu Xianmi said: "Not necessarily, you have to think, why do tomb robbers want to rob tombs? In essence, it's not about wealth. So, I suspect it might become like the dragon of Western legend, taking pleasure in gathering wealth. ”
Director Wang shook his head, he really couldn't imagine that a powerful spirit would become like an ordinary greedy person, collecting wealth everywhere.
The four of them continued to dig in, and after digging for about ten minutes, after Gu Xianmi threw away a piece of charcoal, they found that behind the charcoal was Nanmu painted with a golden pattern!
"Hmph, sure enough." Gu Xianmi said with a sneer.
Director Wang leaned over and looked at the pattern on the nanmu, and said in shock: "Brother Gu, this... Isn't this the coffin of the Spirit?! How come?! Didn't Jiang Ying say that there was nothing in the coffin?! ”
Gu Xianmi turned around, looked at Zhou Jie and Kang Zhonghui with surprised faces, and said, "This question, I think you will know more clearly if you ask Zhou Jie and Zhonghui." ”
