Chapter 729: The Ground Collapses
David smiled awkwardly at first, and then said to me: "The last time we came in with Li Liang, although the dampness here was also very heavy, I didn't expect it to be like today, as soon as it touched my body, it would make people itch all over." ”
I asked Dawei, "When did you last go to the tomb?" ”
David thought for a moment and said, "It's probably two or three o'clock in the afternoon." ”
I glanced at my watch, it was now a quarter past twelve, and just fifteen minutes ago, there had been a violent fluctuation in the yin and yang atmosphere between heaven and earth. The yang energy of the day is at its peak, and the purest and most active yin energy of the day also appears at this time, after which the yang energy begins to weaken and the yin energy slowly takes over the main field.
Perhaps it is precisely because of such changes that some anomalies have been found in the tomb.
I tried to sense the Qi field in the tomb, and at this time, the mellow yang energy was slowly weakening, and the weakest yin energy was gradually becoming stronger.
It seems that the changes in the Qi field in this tomb seem to have the same law as the Yin and Yang Great Qi between heaven and earth.
When there was a strong yin between heaven and earth, the yin qi in the tomb should have become very manic at that moment, although it had regained its calm now, but just that moment of mania could make the entire tomb change dramatically.
Thinking of this, I said to Liang Houzai: "Let's divide a talisman to ward off evil spirits." ”
Liang Houzai didn't say a word, and immediately distributed evil charms to everyone except me and him, three for each person, one was posted on the back, one was folded into a triangle and put in his pocket, and the other was kept for backup.
When he had finished dividing the talismans, I beckoned everyone to move on.
After about a hundred meters, there were no reliefs on the ground, and the floor had been replaced by rough stone bricks, and when I used the green steel sword to explore the way, there were no hollow bricks on the ground.
At the same time, I could feel that the moisture was getting weaker and weaker as I went deeper.
Dawei shook the flashlight behind him, illuminated the zenith, and shouted: "There are some organs ahead, which are no longer usable because they have been too long, but Li Liang said that you should still be careful and try to avoid those mechanisms when walking." ”
Through the miserable white flashlight, I saw some stone knives inlaid on the zenith and the stone walls on both sides, that is, huge knife fans made of thousands of pounds of flat stone, I don't know how this thing works, but I know that although these stone knives do not look sharp, but the weight is amazing, if the stone knives on the zenith suddenly fall down, with the hardness of the human body, they will definitely be smashed into flesh on the spot.
I had a rough estimate of the number of stone knives on the zenith, at least in the triple digits, and they were densely distributed, with little spacing between them. If one or two stone knives fall once in a while, it's fine, and we need to be a little vigilant to dodge them, but if they fall at the same time...... That's trouble. The point is that the place is in disrepair, and there are already a lot of cracks in the ceiling, which can suddenly collapse at any moment.
At this time, Dawei said in the back: "The last time we walked here, Li Liang said that the situation in front was very complicated, so he didn't let us continue to move forward. ”
I was about to ask him where he was last time, but he spoke first. It would be good if Li Liang and the others walked a little deeper, so that Dawei would at least know whether the stone knives on the zenith were strong or not.
Liu Shangang glanced at the cracked zenith, and couldn't help smacking his tongue: "It's all shattered like this, it's going to collapse if you can't get it." ”
I said, "Collapse or not, we'll have to get over it." ”
After saying that, I turned my head again and said to Dawei and the others, "No matter what happens, you can't shoot." ”
The sound of gunfire can easily cause concussions on the rock wall.
Dawei and Senior Brother Feng nodded at me at the same time.
In fact, I am still more relieved about Dawei and Senior Brother Feng, and I am worried about Liu Daxi and Mao Xiaoxi.
But I didn't say anything more, gave Liu Shangang and Liang Houzai a look, motioned for the two of them to follow, and then cautiously walked into the area where the stone knives were everywhere.
The Qi field in this tomb seems to be segmented, when I first entered the tomb, there was no evil energy, when I first saw the relief, there was a very strong corpse gas in the air, and after passing the stone wall, there were several different Qi fields mixed together, when I stepped into the area covered by the stone knife for the first time, there was only yang energy left around.
Not only that, but even the moisture quickly subsides, replaced by extreme dryness.
It was only then that I realized that the cracks on the zenith were obviously cracked.
In such a dry environment, it is indeed possible that there is "dry sand" as Senior Brother Feng said, and here I have to admire Senior Brother Feng's attainments in feng shui, and before going to the tomb, he can be sure that there must be dry sand in such a tomb that was extremely wet because of the river.
But now is not the time to sigh, when I landed, I found that the ground had become very brittle, and with my weight, the ground could collapse at any time.
After all, no one knows what's beneath these slabs, so you have to be extra careful when moving around.
I lowered my body slightly, step by step, and every step I took out was extremely cautious, Liu Shangang and they followed me, I could hardly hear their footsteps, everyone's steps were very light and very slow.
Seven people, seven flashlights, when everyone moved, seven pillars of light swayed wildly in the tombway, and they would fall on those imperceptible corners in the darkness from time to time.
I found that there were some small stone tablets about half a meter high in the corners of the tomb road, with incomprehensible words engraved on them, and of course Liang Houzai also saw those stone tablets, but he did not stop to check, but just followed Liu Shangang not far away, moving forward little by little.
I don't know how far I walked, but I saw a stone knife not far ahead, which fell from the zenith, and when it landed, it smashed through the stone slab on the ground and fell directly into the ground.
I stopped, and looked at the zenith in front of me, and saw that many of the stone knives there had fallen off, and when they hit the ground, they all smashed through the tiles and cut straight into the soil. In addition, I noticed that near every stone knife that landed, there was a brick that sank deep into the ground.
The bricks were not hit by the stone knives, they were all sunk into the ground.
It seems that when the First Ancestor came here, the mechanism on the ground that she had stepped on caused the stone knife to fall to the ground, but why did she do this, with the ability of the First Ancestor, I don't believe that she would be in front of such a simple mechanism.
Liu Shangang slapped me in the back, and then he hit the flashlight on one of the stone knives that fell to the ground, I didn't understand what he meant, and turned to look at him, he pointed first to his eyes, and then to the stone knife.
He asked me to take a closer look at the stone knife.
Puzzled, I turned my gaze back to the stone knife and found a line of ancient writing carved on the edge of the stone knife.
The other knives were bare, but this one had words engraved on them, but I couldn't understand the meaning of the words.
At this time, Liang Houzai came to me cautiously, he also slapped light on the stone knife, carefully looked at the words on it, at first, he was still immersed in thought, but after a few seconds, his face suddenly became very frightened.
Before I could react to what was going on, Liang Houzai grabbed my Liu Shangang's hand, turned around and shouted, "Run!" Then he suddenly took a step and began to run wildly towards the depths of the tomb.
He ran in a hurry, and I was first led by him to stumble for a while, and then I also took a step and galloped, and at this time I heard the sound of Dawei's faster and faster footsteps behind me.
I don't know what Liang Houzai found just now, and I want to suddenly urge everyone forward, but I have no choice but to trust him unconditionally.
The stone knives embedded in the ground became an obstacle in our running, and Liang Houzai probably felt that it was too time-consuming to get around them, so every time he jumped over with his legs, I broke free of his hand and followed his example to step over the stone knives.
Every time I landed, the soles of my feet fell heavily on the ground, and the ground that was about to crack suddenly shuddered, but the zenith was stronger than I had imagined, and the scattered and fierce footsteps of the seven men did not cause it to collapse.
I was thinking in my heart, it seems that this tomb is much stronger than I imagined, but why did Liang Houzai run so quickly, as if if we didn't leave here quickly, we would all die, what did the words on the stone knife mean, which made him so nervous.
After about a minute of running, we were no longer as fast as we had been when we first galloped, and it was at this moment that a stone door appeared in front of us that had been opened.
No, not opened, but destroyed, around the dark doorway, scattered the remains of some door panels.
"Don't go in yet!" Liang Houzai shouted, the person had arrived at the door, he stopped as fast as he could, turned around, and stretched out his hand again, quickly pulling me to him.
As soon as I stopped, he quickly said to me, "Stand against the wall!" ”
I didn't dare to hesitate, and immediately stood with my back against the wall, and after Liu Shangang ran over, he did the same action as me.
After Liu Shangang, Dawei and Senior Brother Feng also rushed over, Liu Daxi and Mao Xiaoxi ran at the end, and just when the two of them were about to come to us in front of them, I heard a crisp sound of "click" overhead.
There were only gasps and footsteps in the tombway, and the sound appeared very suddenly, and my instinct at that time told me: something is going to happen!
Almost instinctively, I quickly reached out and grabbed Liu Daxi and Mao Xiaoxi's necklines, and pulled them to the front as quickly as possible.
As soon as the two of them stuck to me, there was a "clang" sound on the zenith, and then, the big yellow sand fell along the crack on the zenith, I could hardly open my eyes, but I vaguely saw a huge shadow falling behind Liu Daxi and Mao Xiaoxi, I know, it was the stone knife on the zenith that fell.
There were more and more sands, I closed my eyes, and I felt that my two hands suddenly sank, Liu Daxi and Mao Xiaoxi seemed to have lost their foothold and hung in the air. At this moment, I felt the wind rise under my feet, and it seemed that the road we had just walked had really collapsed, and now in front of us was an abyss.
After a while, when there was no more sand above my head, I shook my head, shook the sand off my head, and then opened my eyes.
The situation in front of me was the same as I imagined, the ground had indeed collapsed, only the brick standing under our feet was still intact, extending nearly a hundred meters forward from here, it was a rectangular abyss, and the light of the flashlight could not illuminate the darkness inside. Liu Daxi and Mao Xiaoxi are now hanging in the air, if I hadn't carried them, they would have fallen into the abyss.
