Either I was cheated by Senior Brother Zhuang, and he already knew that this watch was not worth a few dollars.

The watch in Liu Shangang's hand was also scratched by the blood baby, and now he still has a wound on his wrist.

There is no way to know the exact time now, which makes the uneasiness in my heart a little heavier. This catacombs are full of unknowns, and until then, at least we could know exactly when we entered the tomb, but now even the time is unknown.

The yang energy is still declining, and the yin energy has already diffused with our footsteps, so I can only ask everyone to speed up the pace and avoid the yin energy behind us.

The fight with the blood baby just now made everyone very tired, Liu Shangang's waterproof bag had too many things, and Senior Brother Geng took turns carrying it with him, and the two of them supported each other, but they could barely keep up with me.

I don't know how long I walked, but there was a faint yang energy in front of me, and I estimated that I was about to reach the main tomb, so I asked Luo Fei: "How are you recovering?" ”

Luo Fei said: "It should be able to urge the spirit flag, you let me down, I should be able to walk myself." ”

I smiled: "You have a good rest, take care of your strength, and when we find the main burial chamber, we will set up a formation." ”

At this time, Senior Brother Geng's voice came from behind me: "No, there is a way, rest, Xiao Liu and I can't walk." ”

I turned my head to look at Senior Brother Geng, and found that he and Liu Shangang were both tired, Liu Shangang waved his hand at me, and then he sat on the ground, took out the kettle, and drank it in a big gulp.

I asked Liu Shangang: "Are you not in the state today?" How did you get tired so quickly? ”

Liu Shangang just poured a stomach of water, let out a sigh of relief and said: "I may have hurt my ankle when I went to the grave last time, and it hurts when I walk." ”

I asked him, "How are your shoulders?" ”

Liu Shangang smiled bitterly: "It's about to break." ”

In just half a month, there are three tombs in a row, although one of them has been taught to take the lead because of the burial, Liu Shangang and they did not go down, but he has been driving all this time, and it is estimated that his physical fitness has already shown signs of overdraft.

I felt that the yang energy in front of me showed no signs of continuing to decline, and the yin energy behind me no longer moved towards us, so I simply let the others take a break, eat something to replenish their strength, and then act after half an hour.

Senior Brother Geng took two packets of compressed biscuits and sat down next to me: "Alas, that's how you came over all these years?" ”

I chewed on the biscuits and raised my eyebrows: "You said to go to the grave?" ”

"Ahh Senior Brother Geng answered.

I smiled: "It's not a tomb every day, most of the time it's still on the ground." Senior Brother Geng, there should be the main burial chamber ahead, right? ”

Senior Brother Geng shook his head: "Not necessarily, the structure of this tomb should be more complicated than I imagined, and the First Ancestor may have used more than just the Little Three Talents." ”

He paused, and then said with some uncertainty: "There should be other arrangements." ”

I sighed: "You say, why did the First Ancestor hide the Yin Jade in the first place?" Wouldn't it be possible to destroy them? ”

Senior Brother Geng didn't seem to hear my words, and said to himself: "At the beginning, Zhu Xuanzhu dug out the iron stone from the bottom of the Yellow River...... Well, there may be a similar structure to the Eight Doors Golden Lock, those iron stones are to lock the Iron Dragon King, and secondly, they should be to stabilize the Qi field in the *** ......"

His words became more and more difficult to understand, and I simply stopped listening, leaning against the stone wall and closing my eyes to recuperate.

After a while, I saw that Liu Shangang's side had basically eased up, so I put on the waterproof bag on my back and walked towards the depths of the tunnel.

Luo Fei insisted on going by herself, but I couldn't screw her, so I let Xian'er help her walk slowly.

After walking a short distance, the fox fire began to tremble violently, and the chaotic fire light made the surrounding scenery become a little uncertain, I threw an inquiring look at Xian'er, and Xian'er shook her head: "I didn't make it." ”

I frowned, opened my heavenly eyes, and noticed that the yang energy around me was also constantly beating, and it was the change in the Qi field that caused the instability of the fox fire. Then I lifted the corner of the fire silk cloth, let the Fantian seal leak out, and continued to walk quietly.

Although the Yang Qi was beating, the concentration had not changed at all, and I knew in my heart that when the concentration of Yang Qi increased sharply, it meant that the Iron Dragon King was about to appear in front of us. I tried to keep my heart composed, but my heart was beating faster and faster, and my entire ribcage was shaking slightly.

I don't know how long it took me, but I remember when my legs were just starting to get sore, and finally I came to the end of the tunnel, and in front of me, ten meters away, a two-person high stone gate blocked the way.

Under the light of the fox fire lantern, I saw a pair of strange birds with their heads upside down on the huge door panel, tiger feet, ox bodies, wolf heads, bird wings, and snake tails. The bronze plaque found outside the bronze tomb of the Huai River last time had such a pattern.

Why did the female stork's totem appear here again?

Senior Brother Geng walked over and shone a flashlight on the pattern on the stone door, and I saw that he also had a puzzled expression on his face.

After a while, Senior Brother Geng said to me, "Be careful when you push the door, there may be a mechanism inside." ”

I nodded, beckoned to Liang Houzai, and walked to the door with him.

Liang Houzai did not recommend pushing the door immediately, he first lay on the door panel, listened carefully to the movement inside, and then freed one hand to grope for the door, and finally pouted, and seemed to find nothing.

I stretched out my hands to press down on the stone door, letting Liang Houzai pull my waist behind me, and once I pushed the door unusually, he pulled me open.

The air nearby was very dry, and there was a lot of dust accumulated on the relief, and I pushed it hard, and the dust suddenly fluffed up, and Liang Houzai hurriedly pulled me back.

It's just dust, and nothing else.

I pushed the door hard, and the top half was shaking, but the bottom half was so solid that something was blocking the door from behind.

Senior Brother Geng lay on the ground, pressed the bottom of the door panel with his hand and pushed it as hard as he could, and the stone door first slid open a very narrow gap, but it quickly closed again.

Senior Brother Geng pointed to the bottom of the door: "There is a way, you can try it." ”

I squatted down and pushed hard, and when I first started to exert force, the door panel was immediately pushed open a two-inch-wide gap, but after that, I felt a strong resistance, and no matter how much I pushed, I couldn't push it, and when I lost my strength, the door panel slid back on its own, and the gap that I had just pushed open also closed.

Xian'er frowned and asked me, "There won't be any living creatures behind this door, how do you feel, it seems that something is wrestling with you just now?" ”

Senior Brother Geng shook his head on the side: "It's not a living thing, it's a stone ball, everyone will come and pry up the door panel." ”

As he spoke, he took out the sapper shovel from the waterproof bag and tried to insert the blade of the sapper shovel into the bottom of the stone door, but unfortunately failed several times in succession.

Liang Houzai watched Senior Brother Geng's actions, and he kept frowning.

I also took out the sapper shovel and put the blade against the gap at the bottom of the door, and took out a pickaxe and slammed it twice against the handle of the sapper shovel, and easily smashed the blade into the bottom of the door.

In this way, the door panel was slightly raised, and Senior Brother Geng used all his strength to finally insert his shovel into the bottom of the door.

Next, everyone got started together, inserted six sapper shovels into the bottom of the door at the same time, and Senior Brother Geng took out an iron rod from the waterproof bag and said to us, "Pry the door up." ”

A few of us stepped on the handle of the sapper shovel and pressed it with the weight of our bodies, and the bottom of the door was immediately pried open with a finger-wide gap, Senior Brother Geng quickly poked the iron rod into the gap, and with a strong pick, I heard a "gurgling" sound from the other side of the door, and something was rolling rapidly.

After that, I tried to push the stone door again, and with a small creak, the door was easily pushed open.

On the other side of the door, there were jagged grooves on the left and right, one of which contained a stone ball the size of a monkey's head, and the other ball landed next to the door panel I had pushed open, and it was rolling along the door as it opened.

I was getting resistance when I pushed the door, probably because the stone was stuck in the protrusions in the coveolar.

When Xian'er came in with the fox fire lantern, the firelight swayed quickly a few times, and then the flames in the lantern quickly dimmed, and the light range suddenly narrowed a lot.

Right now, only light can be seen within a radius of about 10 meters around us, and everything else is pitch black.

Liu Shangang took out the flashlight, and when he first turned it on, the searchlight could still penetrate the darkness, but soon the beam of the flashlight also faded, and I also took out the flashlight and tried it, but it was also fiercely lit, and then the flashlight was like running out of power, and it quickly dimmed.

Liu Shangang looked at his flashlight and said, "It's evil." ”

I took the lantern from Xian'er's hand, raised it above my head, and walked forward slowly, even after entering the stone gate, the concentration of yang energy still did not change, and the Iron Dragon King was still in a deeper place.

At the edge of the area where the ghostly light could illuminate, I faintly saw a fluttering shadow, and my heart suddenly chuckled, and I raised my hand to signal the people behind me to keep quiet.

With each step, I lowered my pace and breathing, and my speed became extremely slow, and in the flickering firelight, I could roughly make out the outline of the shadow.

It was a tree that had fallen from the zenith, with no leaves on it, but with distinct branches.

As we got closer, the appearance of the tree became clearer. It must have been made of metal, and there were large patches of rust on the huge tree, and on the branches hung a large number of four-legged birds with animal heads, each about the size of my fist, and many of them had fallen off the branches and piled up on the ground.

I held the lantern and quickened my pace slightly, and as I walked, I noticed some very vague reliefs on the ground, which had been corroded for thousands of years, and the contents of them could no longer be seen.

When I came to the tree, I looked up at the zenith, and the roots of the metal slab were spreading in all directions, and the stone slabs near the roots were broken and peeled off, revealing large rock formations, but there was nothing extra on the ground except for bird statues.

Senior Brother Geng stared at the upside-down tree and frowned: "Arrange an iron tree here...... Tsk, what does that mean? ”

Liang Houzai came to me and pointed to the four-legged birds hanging from the branches: "Why are these birds head-up?" ”

As soon as he said this, I reacted, the totem of the female stork clan should be the head of the beast and the tail of the snake on the top, but the bird statue hanging on the tree is completely reversed, and the shape is not the same. The four-legged birds on the female stork's totem have their wings slightly folded, but the wings of these bird statues are fully open, looking like they are fluttering their wings and about to take off.

Senior Brother Geng also looked at the bird statue on the tree, and after a while, he said to himself: "This is a hint left by the first ancestor, I understand, I understand, this tomb is a structure that turns the world upside down!" ”
