Senior Brother Geng frowned, he pondered for a while, and then said to me, "We have to dig out this brick." ”

The stone bricks were originally loose, and it was not difficult to dig up, so Senior Brother Geng and I inserted a sapper shovel into the gap of the stone bricks at the same time, and with a strong prie, the stone bricks fell off the wall.

On the other side of the brick was a deep groove, and when I took a lantern to shine it, I saw a metal box and a stone ball at the bottom of the trough.

I didn't know if I could touch these two things, so I stood aside and let Senior Brother Geng come to the groove.

Senior Brother Geng also hesitated, but he still reached out and dragged out the box at the bottom of the trough, the box was a little heavy, Senior Brother Geng couldn't hold it with one hand, and then stretched out his hands and dragged it out.

He first opened the box, and I heard a "bang, bang, bang" sound from the box, and when the box was opened, there were eight narrow keys inside, and at the end of the key there was a round cake the size of a fingernail, on which was engraved the text of a small seal.

Senior Brother Geng took out those keys, examined them carefully one by one, and said: "Hugh, life, injury, Du, Jing, death, shock, open ......"

As he spoke, he fell into deep thought again, and after a while he stood up again, put his hand into the groove in the wall, and tugged at the stone ball at the bottom of the groove.

As I held the lantern, I saw that there seemed to be a thin chain attached to the back of the stone, but the light was too dim to really see.

Senior Brother Geng grabbed the stone ball and pulled it out of the groove, and then he heard a "click" sound from the wall, after this sound appeared, the stone ball seemed to be pulled from the direction of the wall, and quickly retreated back into the groove, and the strength on Senior Brother Geng's fingers was no longer enough to grasp the stone ball, and he immediately got out of his hand.

When the stone ball was completely retreated to the bottom of the groove, there was another click on the other side of the wall, and after that, I felt the stone wall shake slightly.

When Senior Brother Geng and I were tossing around the wall, Liu Shangang and the others were watching from behind.

As soon as the wall shook, I heard Liu Shangang ask a little nervously: "What's the matter?" What's wrong with the wall? ”

As soon as he spoke, there was a noise outside the graveyard, which sounded like the friction of a stone wall sliding on the ground.

Senior Brother Geng listened carefully for a while, and then said to me, "The voice came from the apse, and the door of the hall has been opened. ”

I didn't hesitate, and immediately left the tomb with a lantern, and Senior Brother Geng held the box containing the key in his arms before leaving.

As soon as I walked out of the tomb door, I could smell a strong musty smell, so Liu Shangang measured the air, and the pointer on the meter had deflected to the junction of the yellow and red areas, everyone put on their masks, and walked forward.

We walked along the stone walls covered with reliefs, and then along the walls nailed with round nails, looking for an entrance to the apse.

Soon, we found a door in this wall, to be exact, it should be a gap, and we saw that there were six bricks missing from the wall, forming a rectangular doorway more than two meters high, I used a fox fire lantern to shine inside, and on the other side of the doorway was a large black space, and there were traces of friction on the stone slab directly below the hole.

I felt it carefully, and there was no sign of the yang energy in the doorway becoming thicker, and this was still not the main burial chamber for suppressing the Iron Dragon King.

Senior Brother Geng also looked inside, frowned and said, "It should be the apse inside, be careful." ”

I nodded, carried the lantern into the doorway, and after walking a short distance, I saw a thick layer of fish scale-like flakes piled up on the ground, these flakes were very tough, and the feeling of stepping on them was very leathery, like stepping on a thick layer of cowhide.

Some of the flakes have moldy hairs on them, and the musty smell I smelled just now should have come from them. I'm wearing a mask now, and I can't smell it anymore.

Liang Houzai said that these scales may have fallen from the Iron Dragon King.

I agree with him that even if we are not in the main burial chamber, we should not be far from the main burial chamber.

The deeper you go, the thicker the scales on the ground become, and the fox fire has illuminated the deepest stone wall of the burial chamber, near which the scales have piled up into a half-man-high knoll, and new scales have slid down from the top of the mound, and some of the scales at the bottom have become moldy.

Senior Brother Geng pointed to the hillock with scales and said to me, "Dig it up and take a look." ”

Everyone took out the sapper shovel and quickly dug up the knoll, and at the bottom of the pile of scales, there was a black sarcophagus with an open lid, and when we dug it up, there were still scales being squeezed out along the coffin.

Senior Brother Geng grabbed a piece of scales and looked at it carefully, and said that the Iron Dragon King must be under the black sarcophagus, let us clean up the scales in the coffin as well.

In fact, before he said these words, we had already started to clean up the scales in the coffin, as the scales in the coffin became fewer and fewer, my heart became more and more nervous, and I glanced at Luo Fei from time to time, she was still a little weak, and I didn't know if I could smoothly deploy the Yin and Yang Great Array after seeing the Iron Dragon King.

The last time I suppressed Zhuhuai in the Bronze Tomb, Liang Houzai once said that the power of the Yin and Yang Array arranged by Luo Fei and I has surpassed the one arranged by Master and Uncle back then. At that time, I fell into a coma, and I didn't know how true Liang Houzai's words were. But I knew very well in my heart that when Luo Fei and I arranged the Yin and Yang Great Array, we couldn't let the Qi field of the Great Array penetrate the rock formations like the master and uncle back then, and directly suppress the corpse Jiao sleeping at the bottom of the tomb.

I don't know if it's because there are too few spirit flags in Luo Fei's hand, which causes the Yin and Yang Array to be unable to achieve that kind of penetrating power.

Only in front of the Iron Dragon King can Luo Fei's Yin and Yang Array work in front of me, which is indeed a very troublesome thing.

It took a lot of time for us to clean the scales from the coffin, and at the bottom of the coffin, a locked black stone door appeared.

The door was made of the same material as the black sarcophagus, made of rootless stone, and a three-finger-wide gap emerged between the two panels, from which the scales emerged.

Senior Brother Geng lay in the coffin, carefully examining the huge lock, I stood next to him with a lantern, I could see at a glance that the lock body is also made of rootless stone, there are keyholes on six sides of the lock, two on each side of the front and back, one on each of the other four sides, exactly eight keyholes, corresponding to the number of keys found from the left side hall before.

"Yes, bring the box," Senior Brother Geng stared at the lock with his head bored, and said to me without turning his head, "Put the lantern in a little." ”

I placed the box containing the key on Senior Brother Geng's right hand, and refilled the fox lantern into the coffin, and in the light of the fire, I saw that Senior Brother Geng's forehead was covered with beads of sweat.

He took out a key from the box and kept saying: "Jingmen, Jingmen, this should be Jingmen, here...... It's closed. ”

While speaking, he stabbed the car key in his hand into the keyhole on the left side of the lock, and carefully turned the key, and soon there was a soft sound on the lock, Senior Brother Geng let out a sigh of relief, and said to himself: "Fortunately, I guessed correctly, this lock is really a structure that turns the world upside down." Jing is against Hugh, Du is against Kai, life is against death, injury is shock, it can't be wrong, it can't be wrong. ”

Brother Geng stabbed the eight keys into the lock hole in turn, and every time he twisted the key, there would be a slight "click" sound on the lock body, and when the eighth key was twisted, I clearly heard the sound of "bell" on the lock body, which seemed to be the sound of a spring popping.

"It's on!" Senior Brother Geng screamed softly and removed the lock from the blackstone door panel.

When he came out of the coffin, Liang Houzai and I grabbed a door panel on the left and right, and at the same time, the black stone slab was suddenly pulled apart, and a heavy yang energy rushed out from the underground tunnel.

I didn't expect the yang energy to come so quickly, so I suddenly became nervous, and quickly pulled out the green steel sword, so that the sword blade pointed directly at the entrance of the dark passage.

Liang Houzai also hurriedly took a few steps back, holding the golden bone in one hand, and took out the evil charm with the other.

Everyone didn't dare to move, staring at the black sarcophagus vigilantly, as time passed little by little, the yang energy filled the entire tomb, but its concentration stopped changing when it increased to a certain extent, and the Iron Dragon King did not drill out along the dark path.

I leaned over to the coffin, held the coffin with both hands, and cautiously looked into the dark passage, where there were not only a large number of scales accumulated, but also some floating points of light, which looked like a firefly flying in the air.

The brightness of each point of light is about the same as the fox fire lantern I am holding in my hand at the moment, but the strange thing is that there is obviously a gap in the black stone door just now, but the light does not shine through.

Liang Houzai put his finger on the button of the mask and asked me in a low voice, "Go down?" ”

I nodded, flipped over the coffin, and leaped into the tunnel.

The tunnel was diagonally downward, and the ramp was covered with layers of scales, and my feet stepped on it, and I immediately slid down the scales for some distance, and I quickly reached out and grabbed the outer edge of the tunnel, so that I could stand firmly.

"Be careful of slipping." I didn't look back, and then slowly slid down the scales.

In the process of descending, I held the fox fire lantern, and found that those points of light floating in the air were really fireflies, and there were many arthropod-like larvae in the scales on the ground.

Xian'er followed me, and he also saw the larvae, and said to me, "These larvae feed on scales, and it seems that these fireflies have been breeding here for many generations." ”

Soon I was at the bottom of the ramp, and in front of me was a deep corridor that stretched straight ahead, and our arrival disturbed the fireflies lying on the wall, and for a moment, the halo of light flashed in the corridor.

Each firefly emits a cool blue light, but if I'm not mistaken, shouldn't the glow of a firefly be yellow-green?

Xian'er came to my side, made a quick move, grabbed the firefly with her empty palm, pinched the insect's wings, held the glowing insect belly in front of my eyes, and said to me, "They have been affected by the yang energy here for generations, and they have mutated. ”

I asked Xian'er, "Are these bugs harmful?" ”

Xian'er blew away the fireflies between her fingers in one go, pursed her lips and said, "There shouldn't be any, what can such a small insect do?" ”

I gave her back the lantern and looked back at it until everyone had come down before I continued on my way.

Except for the scales piled up all over the ground and the fireflies in mid-air, there were only two bare stone walls left in the corridor, and I carefully observed the stone walls on both sides by the cold blue firelight, which seemed to be formed in one piece, and there were no gaps between the stone bricks on the walls, not only on the left and right sides, but also on the vault and the ground occasionally peeking out of the scales.

After walking for a long time in the corridor, I was worried that the purifying agent in the mask would not be enough, so I stopped, turned around and asked Liu Shangang: "Do you want to change the backup medicine now?" ”

Liu Shangang only said one word: "No ......"

I should say that I only heard this one word, and what he said later, but it was completely muffled by the sound coming from the depths of the tunnel.
