Chapter 730: Underground Desert

It's too dangerous, we only need to take a step slower, and now we're all dead.

Liang Houzai let out a long breath, he was afraid of heights, he didn't dare to look at the darkness under his feet, his eyes kept looking above his head, and after quickly moving two steps along the wall, he got into the doorway in the wall.

Just now Liang Houzai said that he was not in a hurry to go in, but now that he has already gotten in, I also dispelled my worries and dragged Liu Daxi and Mao Xiaoxi into the doorway.

Although I have been practicing kung fu since I was a child, and the strength on my arms is not bad, but Liu Daxi and Mao Xiaoxi are two big people after all, and after I put the two of them down, my two arms were also sore for a while.

At this time, Liang Houzai was using a flashlight to illuminate the surrounding situation, and I saw a huge stone tablet two people tall standing not far from us, which was also engraved with words.

I walked up to Liang Houzai and swept around with a flashlight.

It appears to be a large burial chamber, and no matter which direction the flashlight shines, the beam cannot penetrate the darkness. The air was unusually dry, I felt like the skin on my face was about to dry and cracked, and there was a lot of sand on the ground not far away.

Liang Houzai carefully looked at the contents of the stone tablet and said to me, "This is a desert. ”

Desert? Underground?

I was looking at Liang Houzai with a puzzled expression, and Liu Shangang patted the sand on his head and walked over, while asking Liang Houzai: "What is written on that stone knife, why did you suddenly start running?" ”

Liang Houzai said: "That text was left by the first ancestor of Brother Dao, she said that the area where the stone knives are all over is the first dead place in the tomb, and those who enter will die, and the only way to survive is the last section of the road at the end of the dead land." ”

I stood beside Liang Houzai with my arms crossed, slowly frowning.

Liang Houzai smiled a little embarrassedly: "I mean literally, in fact, when I saw these words, I didn't know what the 'last section of the road' meant, until I saw the destroyed stone gate, you mean to let us stand against the wall." ”

I'm not thinking about these things now, I'm thinking, if the area covered by the stone knife is a dead land, and those who enter it will die, why did the first ancestor still have the kung fu to carve words on the stone knife after entering there, and it can be determined that the first ancestor left safely after carving those words.

Probably seeing that I hadn't spoken for a long time, Liu Shangang asked me on the side, "What do you think?" ”

I came back to my senses for a moment and asked another question in my heart: "Since Senior Brother Zhuang said that this tomb is a great evil for women, if a woman comes in, she will not be able to leave alive. Then how did my ancestor get out of here? ”

When Senior Brother Feng heard my words, he came up and asked me, "Listen to what you mean, our first ancestor is a woman?" ”

As soon as he asked, I realized that I had leaked my mouth, in Jisoul Village, I knew that the first ancestor was a daughter, and only the previous heads of the past generations who kept the right line.

I looked at Senior Brother Feng with some astonishment, Senior Brother Feng stared at me for a while, he seemed to think of something, pretended to cough twice, said "you guys talk", and then walked away quickly.

I watched Senior Brother Feng walk away, and I saw Liu Daxi and Mao Xiaoxi standing not far away, looking at me with blank eyes, as if they wanted to say something to me.

I know they probably want to thank me for saving their lives, but I'm not going to accept this gratitude, it's my responsibility to save them, they followed me to the grave to help me, and I need to keep them safe.

Although for now, I can't be sure whether Liu Daxi and Mao Xiaoxi are here to help or to add to the chaos.

At this time, Liang Houzai opened his mouth and said to me: "I think, we can't look at your first ancestor with the eyes of ordinary people, she has too many secrets on her, and we can't scrutinize it." In fact, I was thinking just now, why did your first ancestor say that the only way to survive is the last section of the road, since the stone gate has been destroyed, as long as we drill through the doorway, can't we escape the catastrophe? Or is it ...... If we enter this place while the ground is collapsing, we will die as well? ”

I smiled teasingly: "Maybe the first ancestor didn't break down the door when he carved those words." Perhaps, we shouldn't have come in at all, no matter if we can find a way to survive just now, as long as we get here, we will still die. ”

Liu Shangang couldn't help but poke me: "Damn, don't say such unlucky words, I still plan to live until next year and marry Xiao Renya?" ”

I asked him, "You and Renya will get married next year?" Neither of us seems to be at the age of eugenics. No, why did you two suddenly decide to get married? ”

Liu Shangang quickly changed the topic: "I just heard it and said, this place is a desert?" How can there be a desert underneath the earth? ”

Liu Shangang succeeded, and as soon as he said this, Liang Houzai's attention and I returned to the stone tablet beside us.

Liang Houzai looked at the words on the stele again, and I also took a look at the stele, because the air here was too dry, there were also a lot of cracks on the stele, and one of the cracks was relatively wide, so that the words engraved in that area became illegible.

After a while, Liang Houzai said to me: "The second half of the text was also engraved by your ancestor. The first half of the text mainly talks about the causes of this desert, and it is very simple to say, that is, the imbalance of yin and yang, which caused the soil here to dry up and turn into yellow sand. The second half of the text says that there are many interesting stone tablets buried in the desert, and mentions the 'blood curse', which says that the blood curse is a very powerful curse, but it is also the key to entering the 'flower pond'. Some of the contents are no longer decipherable, and it is estimated that the words should be explanations of blood spells and flower ponds. Well, I guess the so-called flower pond should be a place full of flowers on the other side. Oh, by the way, your first ancestor also emphasized that there is indeed a desert here. ”

I thought about it for a while and said, "Didn't the first ancestor live in the era when the Eastern and Western Han Dynasty were at the same time, when Buddhism had not yet been introduced to Middle-earth, and it is unlikely that the first ancestor would know what the 'other side flower' was." ”

Liang Houzai: "It should be said that Buddhism was introduced to the Central Plains, just in the era when your first ancestor lived, since she engraved the word "other side flower" on the stele, it means that your first ancestor has either had contact with the people of the Buddhist family, or has studied the Buddhist classics. ”

Although Senior Brother Feng was some distance away from us, he should have been listening to the conversation between the three of us since just now, and then he also came over and said to us: "The first ancestor lived until the period of Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty, and the first Buddhist scripture that flowed from Tianzhu into the Central Plains was stored in the outer pavilion of our Soul Village. ”

I said, "Oh, brother, you're talking about that ancient book full of Sanskrit, right?" ”

Senior Brother Feng immediately nodded: "Yes, it's that ancient scroll." If the first ancestor said that there is a place full of flowers blooming in the tomb, it must be full of flowers. As long as Feng Shui is mentioned, the first ancestor has always been very rigorous, and it can be seen from the inheritance she left us in the Yuxian lineage. And she said that this is a desert, so there must be a desert here. ”

Liang and I looked at each other, and then Houzai looked at the words on the stele and said, "She has emphasized more than once that there is indeed a desert here, and there is also a word that looks like ...... Quicksand, that word was torn apart by a rift, and I'm not sure if it's quicksand. ”

Senior Brother Feng touched his chin and said thoughtfully, "Quicksand...... It's really possible, I've deduced this generation's feng shui before, and the dry sand below the surface of the earth is indeed flowing. I thought it was strange that since it was dry sand, it shouldn't get wet, and since the sand wasn't in the water, how could it flow? If there is quicksand in the desert, then there is a reasonable explanation. ”

Alas, there is quicksand in the desert, isn't it very dangerous, but Senior Brother Feng seems to be completely immersed in his feng shui theory now, and he looks quite excited, as if he is excited because he has proved that his deduction is correct.

They all seem to be like this, and they are easy to be fascinated when they mention things related to feng shui, Li Renfeng is like this, Senior Brother Bao is like this, and now Senior Brother Feng is also like this.

I had to interrupt Senior Brother Feng's train of thought: "Senior Brother, if there is quicksand in this underground desert, how can we determine the area where the quicksand is located, and how to avoid it?" ”

Senior Brother Feng thought for a moment and said, "Well, the biggest feature of the desert is that it is actually unpredictable, its terrain is changeable, and quicksand may not appear in a specific area. Let's go in first, I'll have to see the desert to make up my mind. ”

I nodded, and looked at Liu Daxi and Mao Xiaoxi again, just now the two feet stepped into the air, which really made the two of them nervous for a while, but they are also tempered in the battle, and the force is far beyond ordinary people, when I look at them, the tension in their eyes has receded, but the perseverance in their nature is revealed in the gestures.

David didn't participate in their discussion the whole time, and he stood by with his hands crossed, waiting for us to make the next plan of action.

Senior Brother Feng took out the feng shui compass, he first used a flashlight to shine the darkness in front of him, then looked at the compass in his hand, and after a while, he raised his left hand, pointed to the direction of the front and left, and said to me: "Follow this direction, you should be able to find a way to live, but this road is a bit dangerous, it is a dangerous road." ”

After speaking, he pointed to the direction of the center to the right: "This road is relatively smooth, but it may not be able to find a way to live." But even if we can't find a way out, we can still return safely. ”

I asked Senior Brother Feng, "What does it mean to live on the road?" ”

Senior Brother Feng said: "It is the right way, the road that can lead all the way to the bottom of the tomb." Your senior brother Zhuang has calculated for us, we can only find our way out by going deep into the tomb this time, otherwise, we may be trapped and die here. Okay, do you choose a path, do you take the dangerous road or take the smooth road? Again, although the chances of finding a way to survive are smaller if we follow the path on the right, we can return safely even if we go wrong. ”

I didn't even have to think about it, so I said to Senior Brother Feng: "Seek wealth in danger." ”

Senior Brother Feng smiled helplessly: "I knew you would choose this way." ”

I grinned at Senior Brother Feng and was about to walk towards the dangerous road he pointed out just now, but Liu Shangang grabbed me: "I heard the wind in front of me very quickly, if it is a desert there, the wind and sand should be very strong, let's just go in like this, it is easy to get separated." ”

As he spoke, he took out the steel rope and put the rope hook around everyone's belt, so that several of us were connected into a string, and after that, Liu Shangang asked everyone to bring goggles and filter masks, saying that the wind and sand were too big, if we didn't do this, when we walked into the depths of the desert, we couldn't open our eyes and couldn't breathe normally.
