The moment we heard that the west wall was smashed open, the hearts of the three of us were tight, if the water rushed in from this hole, we would definitely not be able to escape even if we fought hard!

But when we looked at the past, instead of seeing any groundwater rushing in, we saw the old clam and the seventh master rushing in with ashes!

"Seventh Master! Old clams! I hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Why did you come in from outside?" ”

Actually, I want to ask if the toad did it, when I saw this scene, I already felt that the toad had moved, but it was escaped by the seventh master and the old clam, and this will come in outside the tower tomb.

"......Huh" The seventh master smiled bitterly: "Don't mention it, I met a beast when I was on it, and there was a white-faced corpse, after a few fights, the three of us were separated, I met the old clam on the third layer, and the toad was gone." By the way, you ......."

The seventh master said and took a flashlight to shine in all directions, and found the sarcophagus lying on the ground in the dark: "The sarcophagus? Is there a Hanjia in it?! ”

I shook my head, "There's nothing in there, and besides, we can't find our way to the ninth floor!" Outside, the underground water of the Luo River is rushing in, and we are about to return the way we came! ”

Hearing my words, the seventh master frowned: "The way to the ninth floor?" Isn't this the ninth floor?! ”

I was also stunned when I heard this, and turned my head to look at Liang Ruoyi and Budai Monk: "This, this is the ninth floor?" ”

"That's right!" The old clam slapped his face and said, "This is the ninth floor!" The two of us came in from the outside, can we still make a mistake?! ”

The Budai monk recited a Buddha name: "Indeed, this is indeed the ninth layer!" When the three of us came down on the seventh floor, it was a very crooked road, and it was the Empress Dowager Hu who made a joke with us, and went directly from the seventh floor to the ninth floor, and the tomb of the Empress Dowager Hu should be on the eighth floor! ”

Gotcha, in the end, this Empress Dowager Hu really shot us!

"Then how do we get to the eighth floor?" I opened my mouth and said.

"Old clam, open a hole and go up!" The seventh master said coldly: "The water in the east is flooded very quickly, this wooden structure can't last long at all, and so are we, just in time for the flood season of the underground river!" ”

The old clam responded, took out the hook lock from the backpack, threw it hard, and hooked a wooden board above his head with a "dang" sound, and then shouted, pulled three times in a row, and with a bang, he directly pulled down a wooden board with a diameter of about five feet.

"Go up!" The old clam re-fastened the hook lock and climbed up first.

The last one of me, when I just grabbed the rope, I heard a "poof" from the tunnel mouth on the other side, and hurriedly took the flashlight to shine it, and it turned out to be a toad rolling out of the tunnel.

"Huh?!" The toad stood up and saw that I was climbing up the rope, and immediately didn't understand how many floors it was, and didn't know what I was doing, so he glanced at the sarcophagus that had been opened, and hurriedly ran over and turned it over, and when he saw that there was nothing, he turned his head and continued to ask me: "Why don't you go up from the tunnel?!" ”

"If you want to live, hurry up!" I didn't bother to explain to this kind of person, so I hurriedly climbed up the rope first. At the moment of climbing up, I even wanted to pull the rope up and leave the toad alone to fend for itself underneath. But after thinking about it, there was a cave where the seventh master and they came in, not to mention, the toad's hand was also good, so he quickly stopped his stupid thoughts.

I stood up and looked around, and sure enough, we had never been to this floor, not the seventh floor when we went down, it seemed that it should be the eighth floor.

When I fully saw the dark environment around me, I sighed in my heart: the entire eighth floor is actually a very large-scale temple.

In front of it, there are two large and two small four Buddha statues, according to the explanation of the Budai monk, they are the most auspicious and auspicious Nan Wu Wu in green clothes, the Nan Wu Golden Treasure Light Wonderful Achievement in the water blue robe, the Nan Wu Hai Shenghui game in yellow is miraculous, and the name of Nan Wu Shan in the dark green robe is auspicious Wang Rulai!

Together with the three Buddha statues on the sixth, seventh and ninth floors, there are exactly seven Medicine Buddhas.

In front of the four Buddha statues, there is a swarthy sarcophagus, and in front of the sarcophagus is a sacrificial furnace. There are red columns around it, and there are even carved beams on the eaves, which is a very complete temple structure.

"I always feel that the body of this Empress Dowager Hu is not simple." The seventh master carefully looked at the surrounding environment and said: "The four Buddhas are sanctified, the temple is honored, the Buddhist mantra on this black sarcophagus should be the lost mantra in Tantric Buddhism, which just fits with the feng shui of the dragon's lair here, why is the effect not effective, the Hu clan and even the entire Xianbei clan will soon perish......"

I remembered the gold ingots I had picked up in that escape path, and the heart path should be that those gold ingots had destroyed the feng shui here, so the auspicious acupoints had not been effective. But the gold ingot looks very much like Hu Guozhen, that is, the father of the Empress Dowager Hu, could it be that Hu Guozhen had the foresight to hide the gold ingot in this Yongning Pagoda tomb?

Is Hu Guozhen so stupid? I smiled bitterly, and saw that the seventh master and the cloth bag monk were already preparing to open the coffin.

"Xiao Gu, come here." The seventh master observed the structure of the coffin lid and called me over: "This is the trough coffin lid, I will shake it open with the cloth bag master, you stand at the head of the coffin!" Don't move, you know? ”

I nodded, knowing that I had no chance to refute at all, so I walked to the coffin.

The seventh master took out three Huiling incense from his bag and lit it, bowed three times in front of the sacrificial furnace, and then inserted the Huiling incense into the sacrificial furnace, and then took out three more incense to ward off evil spirits and lit it, bowed three times again, and handed it to the old clam's hand. The Budai monk also lit three sticks of Huiling incense and inserted them in the sacrificial furnace, twisting the Buddha beads and reciting a short section of scriptures.

At this time, our feet had already begun to rumble, and it was obvious that the underground river outside had filled the rectangular outer layer on the east side of the tomb, and under the continuous pressure of the water pressure, it was estimated that it would not be long before it broke through the wall on the east side of the ninth floor below.

After the cloth bag monk finished reading a scripture, he returned to the sarcophagus, everyone looked at the sarcophagus illuminated by two flashlights in the dark, looked at each other, and the seventh master and the cloth bag monk began to open the coffin.

The two of them stood on either side of the coffin, holding the end of the lid with one hand and the side of the lid with the other, while I stood on one side of the coffin.

The two of them let out a low roar, and as soon as their arms were forced, the heavy coffin lid made a "buzzing" sound, but it only moved forward a few inches!

I took a look and saw that some dirt had fallen from the gap in the coffin lid, and it seemed that this sarcophagus had originally had a mud seal, and it was opened at least once, so the mud seal had almost fallen off a long time ago.

This black sarcophagus seems to be made of a kind of black bluestone or black marble, and it looks extremely heavy.

The two of them were silently pranayama, preparing for the next time. I stood aside and subconsciously touched the back of my head to make sure I didn't feel cold, and my heart was a little more stable.

The two breathed for more than ten seconds, and Liang Ruoyi saw that the coffin lid was heavy, so he walked to the end of the coffin, put his palms on the coffin lid, and prepared to exert his strength with the seventh master and the cloth bag monk.

"Let's go!" The seventh master roared, and the three of them worked together, this time the three of them were prepared in their hearts, and put a little force to get out and get it accurately, and the coffin lid of the sarcophagus "squeaked" and slid smoothly towards me.

Everyone's eyes moved along with the movement of the coffin lid, and with a "bang", a section of the extremely heavy coffin lid was pushed down and fell to the ground.

Although the Seventh Master and the Budai Monk had already contained a hundred blood stones, they hurriedly retreated.

I was just about to say that it was okay, when I saw a gray corpse gas coming out of the coffin of the black hole, and hurriedly retreated: "There is corpse gas!" ”

"What color?" The Seventh Master asked.

"Pale gray." I replied.

The seventh master nodded: "It's not serious, but it can be concluded that this sarcophagus has been opened at least twice, otherwise it ......"

Before the seventh master's words fell, I suddenly felt a chill in the back of my head, and hurriedly waved my hand at them, and before I came back to my senses, I saw a person sitting up in the black coffin!
