Chapter 181: Inside the Stone Tower
I knew that the figures were the shadows of the corpses, and that they weren't chained as I had imagined, they were just standing motionless outside the stone gate, and they didn't know what they were doing.
Master also glanced over there and said to me, "Our Yang Qi is covered by the surrounding aura, and the corpse can no longer sense the Yang Qi on our body. ”
But just as the master was speaking, one of the shadows suddenly jumped onto the rope.
My heart suddenly rose to my throat, and this scene was also seen by my master, who hurriedly urged me: "Hurry up!" ”
The armored corpse is behind him, and on such a chain that is extremely difficult to even maintain balance, even if we have a high Dao Xing, we are not the opponent of that kind of evil corpse.
At that time, I couldn't care so much, and immediately crawled towards the stone tower, not only me, but also the master behind me, and their movements became much larger than before, and the chains shook more violently than before.
I summoned Xian'er back and asked her to take care of the others crawling on the chains, while I held the fox lantern in my mouth and showed them the way.
Xian'er, who has always liked to work against me, also cooperated unexpectedly this time, and after handing over the lantern to me, she floated towards Old Lady Huang.
After all, the old lady is too old, and he has spent a lot of physical strength before, so he is already a little too strong to support at this time.
The rest of the way we walked very fast, and I would occasionally keep an eye on Liang Houzai's back, but the shadow just now didn't seem to have come near us since he jumped on the chain, and I looked back a few times in a row, but I didn't see it again.
When I climbed to the end of the chain, I realized that it was not only the chain that was shaking, but even the base of the stone tower was shaking with the chain.
Judging from the shaking amplitude of the stone platform, the stone tower suspended in the air by several jump chains is not as stable as imagined.
I stepped down from the chain and stood on the edge of the stone platform, which was still shaking, and I had to be careful to hold my center of gravity while reaching out to help the person behind me get off the chain.
As Liang Houzai pulled my arm down from the chain, I looked in the direction of the stone gate again.
At this time, the stone gate had completely left the light area of the fox fire, and when I looked in that direction, I could only see that it was pitch black.
Master, after they got off the chains, they also looked at the darkness on the chains with a wary face.
But after a long time, the armored corpse that jumped on the chain did not appear.
I breathed a long sigh of relief and said to my master, "Look at this, that armored corpse should have fallen." ”
Master nodded at me, but there was a noncommittal expression on his face.
After that, the master asked Old Lady Huang again: "When Third Master Su was alive, didn't he say that they touched any mechanism on the stone tower to wake up the big snake in the abyss?" ”
God shook his head: "It doesn't seem to be, the years are too far away, I really can't remember." ”
The master sighed: "Then let's be careful, go up to the tower!" ”
While the master was talking, he pushed me to the tower gate, it seems that today I am destined to take the lead all the way, Liang Houzai is still arranged by the master to break off, I came to the stone tower door when I looked at Liang Houzai, he didn't seem to have eased up, his face secretly used a little prostration.
The door of the stone tower, like the chains that run through the abyss, is made of bronze, and it is covered with patina.
Master stood behind me, looked at the pagoda gate for a while, and said to me, "There is no sign that this door has ever been opened. ”
I also noticed from Master that there was a very intact layer of rust hanging on the shaft of the bronze door, and if the door had been opened, the rust would have at least been crushed and cracked, even if it had not completely fallen off, and it would not have been so intact and large.
Since the bronze door has not been opened, how did Su Santong get up to the tower back then?
At this time, the master said to Huang Yulian and Huang Changrong, "You look around the stone pagoda and see if there are any other entrances." ”
Huang Yulian and Huang Changrong didn't say a word of nonsense, and touched both sides of the stone tower left and right.
I also understand that in the old Huang family, Huang Changsheng should have played the role of the leader, while Huang Yulian and Huang Changrong's roles are similar to scouts, in addition, Huang Changrong also takes care of the responsibilities of the palace.
After a while, Huang Yulian returned, saying that a robbery hole had been found directly behind the stone tower, and Huang Changrong came back a little later, and he found a hole in the left wall of the stone tower, and there was gunpowder powder near the entrance of the cave, which should have been blown open.
In other words, there are two other roads leading to the stone tower in addition to the stone gate in front of you.
As for whether to drill the thief's hole or the wall, Master once again left the decision to me.
For this reason, I also came to the thief hole and the wall hole respectively to take a look, the wall hole is more than one meter wide and one meter high, I can easily get into, and the thief hole on the ground is very narrow, even Liu Shangang's small body is very difficult to drill into.
So I decisively led everyone out of the wall.
Before drilling into the wall, Xian'er went in one step ahead of us to take a look, and her face became very strange when she came out.
I asked her if there was any danger inside.
Xian'er shook her head and said, "I didn't find any danger, but it's strange inside the tower...... Go in and see for yourself. ”
Since there was no danger, everything else was trivial, and before I got into the hole in the wall, I looked at the chain we had crawled on, and the corpse still hadn't appeared, but the chains were still shaking uncertainly.
When we got off the chains, it was the shaking of the chains that pulled the shaking of the stone platform, and this time, because of our walking on the stone platform, the stone platform was bumpy, and this bump dragged every chain around it to shake constantly, making a "bang" sound from far and near.
Xian'er still got into the hole in the wall before me and held the lantern for me, and I didn't understand what Xian'er meant by "strange" until I went in.
After digging into the hole, the first thing I saw was a stone table and several stone chairs arranged around the table, these chairs and tables were very crudely carved, the surface was pitted, as if they were naturally formed, and these tables and chairs were firmly embedded in the floor, there was no trace of fit between them and the floor, and they seemed to be made in one piece.
In addition, the walls and the surface of the stone roof are also pitted, and there is a window on the wall directly opposite me, which looks regular from the outside, but from the inside, it has an irregular shape between square and circle, and the whole edge of the window is also pitted and uneven.
At the corner of the wall there is a stone staircase that extends diagonally upwards, also with an extremely uneven surface, covered with holes of various sizes.
At first glance, everything inside the stone pagoda seems to have been formed naturally.
I suddenly had a strange idea in my heart, I thought that this tower might have "grown" from the stone platform by itself, like a sapling in the soil, and it took decades and hundreds of years to grow into what it is today.
Master came in and glanced at his surroundings, frowned, and then walked straight towards the bronze gate.
Of the towers I was in, only the bronze door did not look like it was "naturally formed", the front and back sides of the door were exactly the same, a flat bronze plate with round nails with the size of a bowl, and the inside of the door panel was also covered with patina.
"I'll give you the green steel sword." Master walked to the door and stretched out his hand to me as he spoke.
After I handed the green steel sword to Master, Master knocked twice on one of the doornails with the hilt of the sword, and the doornail vibrated violently, and Master immediately took out a soul sealing talisman and stuck it on the doornail, and after a few seconds, the doornail fell silent.
At this time, the people of the old Huang family, Liu Shangang, and Liang Houzai also came in through the hole in the wall one by one.
The master beckoned to Huang Yulian again, pointed to the doornail with the soul sealing talisman attached, and said to her, "Get this doornail down." ”
Huang Yulian reached into the backpack behind her and took out a dagger with a ten-shaped shape, which looked very thick, and the head of the knife had a hook, and the end of the handle was tapered, which looked very sharp.
I have to say that Huang Yulian's backpack is a treasure chest, and I have seen her take out things from it several times since I went down to the tomb, and every time she takes out something, it is a rare thing that I have never seen.
She walked to the bronze door, first struck the awl along the edge of the door nail with the handle a few times, shattering the rust around the door nail, and then I saw her put the cone head next to the door nail, and with a strong push, the strong bronze door panel was pierced with a thumb-sized round hole, after that, Huang Yulian flipped the dagger, inserted the hook on the knife head into the round hole, and then shook her wrist.
All I heard was a click, and then I saw the door nail with the soul seal talisman fall off the door panel and roll at my feet with a grunt.
The shape of the door nail on this bronze door should be very similar to the pin we usually use, and it is also a strong nail with a metal round end and a metal round head. But the nail embedded in the copper door was not like this, to be exact, it was not a nail at all, but a copper ball embedded in the door panel.
Master stuffed the green steel sword into me, leaned down and picked up the copper ball, and broke it hard, and with a click, the copper ball was broken in half by my master.
Only then did I realize that the inside of the copper ball was hollow, and it contained something about the same shape and size as an egg, and in addition, on the inner wall of the copper ball, there was also a yin-yang fish sigil engraved with the same yin and yang fish sigil as on the chain.
"It's the eggs of the Devil's Eye Spade." Master took the egg-like thing and said to me, "This kind of insect only eats evil corpses when it becomes an adult, but when it first breaks its shell, it goes crazy when it sees flesh and blood, and there is no difference between the living and the evil corpses, they are both food." ”
After that, the master pointed to the bronze door and continued: "Look at the door nails on these two doors, nine horizontal roads, nine vertical roads, nine is the pole of the yang number, and the copper ball is tattooed with double yang runes. ”
