Chapter 650: The Ninth Tower
The second master immediately took out the map from his backpack, and then nodded at me: "That's right." Did you memorize the map in its entirety, or did you deduce the location of the tower on your own? ”
I said, "I know how this formation has broken, first remove the dry corpse, then drive the yin qi, and finally break the formation!" ”
As I spoke, I walked towards the tower in front of the right, and the second master quickly followed my footsteps while putting away the map, and the others also followed with a whirl.
Small estimation arithmetic involves the inheritance of the upright line, and it is inconvenient to say more about something. But Li Renfeng's words just now really reminded me that in the small calculation arithmetic, the Xun position is the most critical position, and the first ancestor must have placed something to suppress the formation there, as long as that thing is destroyed, the formation can be broken.
Now that we have found the Gate of Life and Death and the Gate of Xiujing, in terms of small arithmetic, Xun is due west, and after finding these two coincided gates, it is not difficult to judge the position of due west.
Ten minutes later, the stone tower appeared in our sight, under the signal of the second master, everyone relaxed their feet, and slowly came to the front of the tower gate, the tower door opened a gap, through this gap, I can see the blurred shadow of the dry corpse.
Liu Shangang walked quickly to me, turned on the flashlight, and let the beam of light shine through the crack in the door, just in time to illuminate the dry corpse's bark-like face.
The cadaver was sensitive to sound, but didn't seem to sense light, and it stood on the other side of the door, motionless in front of us.
Liu Shangang bit the flashlight, so that the light fell on the face of the dry corpse, and then held the speargun, slowly approaching the tower gate step by step, the second master and I protected him left and right, and Liang Houzai also followed closely behind him.
When he reached a distance of about four meters in front of the tower gate, Liu Shangang decisively pressed the trigger, and when he heard a muffled sound of "bang", the fish arrow galloped out and accurately hit the eyebrows of the dry corpse.
I saw the corpse's body move slightly, but before it could make any more movements, its skull was pierced. After it was hit, it remained in its original standing position and did not fall.
The second master whispered to us: "The door panel is very heavy, and there will be a lot of movement when you open the door." ”
I nodded, beckoned to the person behind me, and continued to move closer to the next stone tower.
When I came to the next stone tower, I found that the door of this tower was also open, and the dried corpse was also standing directly opposite the crack in the door.
This saved us a lot of trouble, and Liu Shangang repeated his old trick, firing an arrow outside the door, and the dried corpse was pierced through the skull by an arrow before we could be found.
After that, we kept wandering in the dark space, the fourth stone tower, the fifth stone tower, the sixth, the seventh, the eighth, the door of each stone tower was open to a crack, and every dried corpse stood close to the crack in the door.
It's like they're ready in the morning, just waiting for us to come here and give them a relief.
However, I have a lot of doubts in my heart, when the people of the burial sect entered the underground palace, didn't they enter the stone tower, why did these tower doors only open a gap, why were all the dried corpses trapped in the tower?
I asked the second master: "Didn't the funeral sect enter the tower?" ”
Now we are still a long way from the ninth tower, and the second master speaks in a slightly louder voice: "There is a horsebelly statue in the center of the nine towers, the left eye of the statue is made of white marble, but there is only a hole left in the right eye, and there is still some solidified wax layer stuck to it, so we suspect that the tomb builder first wrapped the yin jade in the wax, and then inlaid the wax ball in the right eye socket of the horse's belly statue." Those waxes can seal the yin qi, and the reflected light on them is similar to that of white marble. ”
In this way, the yin jade embedded in the horse's belly statue is not easy to find, and the coffins in the stone tower are also suspected coffins laid by the tomb makers, but the burial people did not enter the stone tower after entering the tomb, but took the horse's belly statue directly, which shows that they knew the exact location of the yin jade before entering the tomb.
For this, I was still very puzzled in my heart, and said to myself: "Could it be that Luo Zhongxing knew the specific location of Yin Yu in advance?" This is unlikely, he should not be able to enter the Nine Great Tombs before cutting off the reincarnation. After cutting off the reincarnation, he put all his memories on a few ghost fetuses, and it was impossible to know the location of Yin Yu. ”
At this time, Uncle Shi came over, he stroked the beard on his chin, and said thoughtfully: "It should be Zhou Tianshi, he is very likely to go to the tomb with him." ”
Zhou Tianshi? At first glance, these three words sound very familiar to me, but for a while I can't remember where I heard them.
Shi Bo added: "This person is the number one person in the funeral sect on the bright side, and he is also the messenger of Luo Zhongxing. ”
As soon as he said this, I remembered that the last time I heard the title of "Zhou Tianshi", I was still in the Soul Village to hold a funeral for the master, and that time the master sneaked into the Soul Village to sweep the tomb of the master, and his name was mentioned.
I scratched my scalp: "Isn't Luo Zhongxing's messenger black and white?" ”
Uncle Shi shook his head: "Hei Bai Ding is Luo Zhongxing's secret door elder, and Zhou Tianshi is the messenger and chief elder." Let's put it this way, Hei Bai Ding is the chief elder of the dark side, and Zhou Tianshi is on the bright side, hehe, this person's cultivation should not be as good as Hei Bai Ding, but he has nine heavenly eyes, if he really fights, Hei Bai Ding is not his opponent. ”
I had heard people talk about the technique of "Tianyantong" more than once before, but I didn't know much about it, so I asked my uncle: "What does Uncle Shi mean that Zhou Tianshi relied on those eyes to find Yin Jade?" ”
Uncle Shi nodded: "The kung fu of Tianyantong is different from your innate Tianyan, I only know that Tianyantong who has reached the sixfold heavenly realm can see through the three thousand void gates, hehe, to put it bluntly, it is able to see through the essence of anything." As for the Nine Heavens, in today's industry, only Zhou Tianshi has reached this realm. If he also went down to the tomb with him, it was indeed possible to see at a glance that there was something wrong with the horse's belly. ”
Luo Youfang also came over, and he asked my uncle: "I have been in the funeral sect for so many years, and I have never heard of such a person as Zhou Tianshi." ”
Uncle Shi said: "You are still too low-level, and you don't know as much about the high-level of the Funeral Sect as I do." Hehe, this Zhou Tianshi, like Luo Zhongxing, is also a god dragon who sees the head but does not see the tail, and even several elders in the funeral sect think that he is actually the leader of the funeral sect. But the first time I met him, I knew he wasn't. Alright, don't talk, the last tower is almost here. ”
I glanced ahead, and the outline of the last tower was already faintly visible at the edge of the faint green fox firelight.
The second master took out a fish arrow from the side pocket of his backpack and handed it to Liu Shangang: "This is the last one." ”
Liu Shangang nodded at the second master and loaded the speargun with arrows.
When we came to the ninth tower, we saw that there was a hole more than half a meter wide in the wall of the second floor of the stone tower, and a large strand of black hair gushed out along the hole, hanging down the tower like a waterfall, and then spreading in the direction of due south after landing.
The strands of hair that I saw in the corridor and the sea should have extended from here.
I glanced at the second master, and the second master raised his chin towards the tower gate, signaling to get rid of the dried corpse first, and other things will be talked about later.
I, the second master, and Liang Houzai escorted Liu Shangang to the front of the tower, and there was still a gap in the door, when Liu Shangang let the flashlight shine into the crack of the door, the dried corpse was indeed standing close to the crack in the door, but the dried corpses we saw before were all facing the crack in the door, and the dried corpse in front of him was slightly off.
Liu Shangang found a good angle, slowly approached the tower gate, and pressed the trigger as he had done the previous times, and when the fish arrow was galloping, it caused an extremely imperceptible sound of breaking the air, and I felt faintly uneasy in my heart, and I always felt that the situation in this tower might be different from the other eight towers.
The arrow pierced through the crack in the door and stabbed precisely into the center of the corpse's eyebrows, and the corpse trembled slightly, but did not make any other movements.
I breathed a sigh of relief, but then I heard a strange noise from inside the tower, and it was very soft, as if something was slowly sliding on the ground.
The second master also heard the sound, and he raised his hand and signaled everyone to stop making a sound.
Most of us can understand the meaning of the second master's hand, except for Li Renfeng, a stupid person.
He saw the dried corpse in the crack of the door being pierced through the skull by an arrow, and let out a long breath, and then said, "It's finally settled." ”
Liu Shangang immediately turned his head and glared at him, I don't know what Li Renfeng's expression was at that time, but he was looking at the tower gate with all his attention, and the second master also pulled out his dagger at this time.
"Sss
The second master took a very light step, quickly approached the tower gate, I also stepped forward, tried not to make a sound to put the fox fire lantern on the ground, one hand of the heavenly seal, the other hand of the green steel sword, the eyes are facing the gap of the tower gate, waiting for the battle.
Behind me were Liang Houzai and Liu Shangang, and I heard the whisper of Liu Shangang's side changing magazines, and he had already taken out his sniper rifle.
The sound in the tower came to a position close to the door, and I silently condensed my mental power and prepared to go.
At present, I'm not sure if it's a reasonable choice, the location of this tower is not the Xun position in the thick earth hexagram, and rashly going to Gang may destroy the layout inside, in that case, no one knows if there will be a problem with the underground palace array.
The second master leaned sideways, clinging to a stone door, and the friction sound on the other side of the door suddenly stopped in front of the door, and the second master beckoned to us gently, signaling us to approach.
I had just taken two steps when I heard a muffled "click" on the other side of the tower door, and the stone door shook violently, and a large amount of dust burst up from the door panel.
As soon as the second master saw that the situation was wrong, he immediately retreated, but before he could leave from the door, there was a sudden muffled sound on the other side of the door, and then, the stone door broke away from the door shaft and pressed on the second master at a speed of several pieces.
This is also the second master, if it is someone else, it must fly out with the force on the door, the second master took two steps back along the force on the door panel, raised his right leg suddenly, and stomped on the ground, the bluestone slab on the ground was broken by him with a foot, and there was a burst of dust, but the second master also used the strength of this foot to stabilize his figure.
I saw a black shadow jump out of the stone tower, it was very fast when it leaned over and rushed out, my vision could barely catch its trajectory, but when it rushed towards the second master, its speed slowed down significantly, as if something was dragging it behind.
At this time, I also saw clearly, what rushed out of the tower was a dried corpse, the dried corpses I had seen before were all dressed in two-color court clothes, a Wenchen dress, but it was a military general's dress, although the clothes on its body had been corroded by moisture, but it could still be roughly distinguished, it used to be a finely made chain mail. It also had thick chains tied around its ankles, and dragged an iron ball-like thing behind it.
