Chapter 28: The Ancient Tomb (3)
"Cousin Xiao Ran, where are you now? I'm going to look for you. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info" Chen Xuanyi said with the phone.
"Now?" Wu Xiaoran looked at his watch, which showed twenty-two o'clock.
"yes, you shouldn't have forgotten our trip to the tomb, right?" Chen Xuanyi said.
"I didn't forget, but I ・・・・・・"
"But what?" Chen Yixuan hurriedly asked.
The words on the notebook can be understood by Wu Xiaoran, without Wu Xiaoran's help, Chen Yixuan would definitely not be able to find the location of the ancient tomb, let alone enter the tomb to have a look.
"At this point in time, there is no car to Damei Town, besides, the location recorded in the book is relatively remote・・・・・・"
"Haha, I thought it was something. I've thought about this for a long time, and I've pulled up my best friend, and he has a car. Chen Yixuan was really afraid that Wu Xiaoran would use the adults' set to educate him that it was dangerous to visit the tomb.
Chen Xuanyi's sworn friend is his classmate Zhao Hui, Zhao Hui has always been full of interest in ghosts, and he is also very playful, when Chen Xuanyi said that, he naturally readily agreed, so he took advantage of the cover of night to secretly open his father's Xiali.
Wu Xiaoran hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, I'm at home now, you come over." ”
After speaking, Wu Xiaoran hung up the phone, returned to the room to pack up all the things she could think of that could come in handy, and there was a trace of anticipation in her heart.
"Will he be there?" Thinking of this, Wu Xiaoran's face turned red involuntarily.
The lights are thick and the streets are dim.
The old-fashioned Xiali car was parked on the side of the road, and the young man in the driver's seat was a little irritable, obviously waiting for someone here for a long time.
The young man is Zhao Hui.
"I'll wait here at nine o'clock, and it's ten o'clock now. I haven't seen anyone yet, and I haven't ・・・・・・answered the phone," Zhao Hui muttered.
Another five minutes passed, and Zhao Hui became more and more impatient, with a displeased face, and said, "Lao Tzu went to find you personally." ”
The moment he got out of the car, Zhao Hui caught a glimpse of a figure with a big backpack and a small shovel in front of him hurriedly trotting out from the corner in front of him, and after a closer look, it was Chen Xuanyi.
"Do you know how long you've kept me waiting?" As soon as Zhao Hui saw Chen Xuanyi, he opened his mouth and scolded.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, in order to avoid my parents, I have no choice but to go, hurry up, go to West Street, and pick up my cousin." Chen Xuanyi gasped and said.
"Pick up your cousin?"
"Didn't I tell you? The success of this expedition depended on my cousin to decipher the text of a mysterious journal. Stop the ink, hurry up, I can't wait. Chen Xuanyi said and walked to the car.
"Wait." Zhao Hui said suddenly.
"What?" Chen Xuanyi turned sideways and wondered.
Zhao Hui was caught off guard and punched Chen Xuanyi's arm.
Chen Yixuan covered his arms and wailed.
"What are you doing, it hurts!"
"Whew, it's much more comfortable. Tell you to be late and don't turn on your phone. If it weren't for my brother's passion for adventure, he would have driven away a long time ago. Brother has been waiting for you here for more than an hour! Zhao Hui shook his palm and said.
"I was wrong." Chen Xuanyi said with a bitter face, thinking that it was not easy to wait for him for more than an hour with Zhao Hui's urgency.
"Let's go, then. I'm looking forward to it. Zhao Hui was in a good mood and shouted with a smile.
"Okay, let's go to West Street first" Chen Yixuan rubbed his arm, the pain gradually dissipated, and then Mali threw the tool backpack into the rear trunk, and as soon as he turned around, he got into the co-pilot's seat and showed Zhao Hui the way.
"Let's go."
Zhao Hui turned the key, stepped on the accelerator, the exhaust pipe spit out black smoke, and the old Xiali car started slowly・・・・・
The other world is indeed full of novelty, but it is more dangerous and cruel than the world of ordinary people.
But they don't know.
The side of the tomb.
Liu Qingdao's expression was solemn, his steps were steady, and he slowly approached the ancient tomb.
The door of the tomb was completely open, and it was so dark that it was difficult to see the inside of the tomb. When approaching the ancient tomb, the man in the suit took out a few glow sticks from the package he was carrying, held them with both hands, and gently broke them, and the glow sticks suddenly became bright.
The man in the suit threw the glow stick into the tomb.
Cluck, cluck.
Through the bright light, you can see that the entrance to the tomb is a stone staircase that extends underground.
The man in the suit took out nine small flashlights from the package and distributed them to a group of people.
Liu Qing Daoist silently pinched his handprints, performed Dao techniques, and quickly sensed them, but found nothing wrong.
"Let's go." Liu Qingdao said concisely, and then walked into the ancient tomb.
The small flashlights distributed by the man in the suit were powerful enough, and the nine flashlights were opened at the same time, and the spacious passage suddenly brightened. Take a closer look, there is nothing special about the stone steps under your feet, they are all made of ordinary stone bricks, the whole body is ancient gray, and the length and width of each stone brick are the same, and the height of each stone step is exactly the same! The walls on both sides are earthy yellow and smooth, and they are presumably painted with some kind of substance that diffuses the light, causing the beams from the flashlight to shine further down the tunnel.
Liao Qingshan, the golden ghost hand, took out a sharp knife, scraped some lime on the wall, and then withdrew from the ancient tomb, took out a box of matches, and randomly ignited a lime close to the knife.
"That's true." Liao Qingshan muttered.
Liao Qingshan put away the knife, walked into the tomb again, stopped everyone, and said, "The walls are coated with dark fire powder, and they will ignite when they meet fire." In the days before the invention of the flashlight, people used torches for lighting, which was definitely a ghost gate, and if the flame accidentally touched the wall, the entire passage would become a deadly fire road in the blink of an eye. ”
Although everyone present is equipped with special skills, it is also extremely dangerous to be in such a path of flame that goes deep underground.
"It seems that you fellow Daoists should pay attention, the weather is dry, be careful of the candles." Liu Qing paused for a moment, and then continued: "Let's go." ”
The group waited very fast, continued to go deep into the ground, and soon encountered the first fork in the road, there were three roads, Liu Qing Dao people subconsciously chose the road downward, but was stopped by Liao Qingshan.
"Liu Qingdao is long and slow." Liao Qingshan said.
"Oh? Please advise. Liu Qingdao didn't think too highly of himself, and asked humbly.
"This is the legendary ghost hitting the wall, using the reference to confuse the intruder, and finally get lost and trapped in it." Liao Qingshan explained.
"Is there a way to crack it?"
"Of course." Liao Qingshan said confidently.
"Then there is Brother Lao Qingshan." Liu Qingdao turned sideways and made way for Liao Qingshan.
Liao Qingshan was not pretentious, strode to the fork in the road, and took out a small inky black teacup from his waist. Liao Qingshan poured water into the teacup, rolled his tongue inward, spit out a thin silver needle, and landed on the water surface of the teacup. Liao Qingshan picked up the teacup and blew lightly on the water, and the silver needle turned quickly. Liao Qingshan read: "Touch the golden compass and point out the road." ”
The silver needle on the water surface made a crisp light sound, the water rippled in the teacup, the silver needle rotated slowly, and finally the cup calmed down, and the silver needle pointed straight to the middle road.
"This road in the middle leads to the tomb." Liao Qingshan said.
"Okay." Liu Qing Daoren said and walked towards the middle road.
"Slow!" Liao Qingshan suddenly shouted, only to see the silver needles in the cup broken into several sections, and the black edge of the originally clear water in the cup, Liao Qingshan's expression became panicked, and he hurriedly shouted: "Be careful!" ”
Liu Qing Daoist reacted extremely quickly, retreated in front of everyone, and reacted, and a rune loomed in front of him. Liu Qingdao looked ahead and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"Guys back away, hold your breath!" Liao Qingshan reminded loudly again.
As soon as the words fell, black smoke poured out from the three holes and rushed towards everyone.
"Oops!" Liu Qing Dao people are the closest to the entrance of the cave, just now subconsciously cast a name called King Kong Shield, this spell can block Wan Jun's strength but is helpless against the flow of smoke, Liu Qing Dao people have no time to remove the rune shield, the smoke is approaching!
At the last moment, the stone, which had been silent, moved. The stone threw out the jade, folded his hands, and then unfolded upwards, shouting: "Taiyi Protective Array!" Knot. ”
The jade in mid-air cast a curtain of light, shrouding just a thousand people and so on.
"It's actually a formation!" Yu Er saw the light curtain and whispered.
A faint curtain of light guarded everyone from the erosion of black smoke. The circle is like a big stone in a stream, and where the water passes, it gives way. Smoke rushed towards the light curtain and then poured out to the sides.
Liao Qingshan breathed a sigh of relief, because he was overly nervous, he sat on the ground with his butt slumped, and said with palpitations: "I didn't expect to encounter the legendary phage smoke." If an ordinary person accidentally inhales a trace of the body, the internal organs in the body will turn into pus and die. Even if we can avoid inhaling smoke, a little longer exposure will damage the body's foundations! ”
"I didn't expect the little brother to hide it deeply, and he still knew the way of formation. Thanks to you this time. Liu Qingdao arched his hand towards the stone and said.
"I'm protecting myself, too." Stone said lightly. I was secretly happy in my heart, but I still couldn't get too carried away by pretending to be forced.
"If you have a chance, let's talk." Foolish two cherish words like gold, said.
"I'm looking forward to it, too." Stone said truthfully.
Stone is also interested in Yuji's methods.
Yuji nodded. No more talking.
Liao Qingshan stood up, patted the dirt on his buttocks, became a little excited, and said, "Since there is a phagosome smoke, the main acupoint is almost ahead." ”
Suddenly, there was a shock, the figure shook, the earth fell, and three figures slowly walked out of the smoke・・・・・
"What!" Lin Xuan saw the faces in the smoke clearly and shouted.
・・・・・・
The old Xiali car broke into the wilderness, due to the narrow country road, the car's performance was barely strong, coupled with Zhao Hui's driving skills, the car broke down unexpectedly.
After Zhao Hui tried to start the car several times to no avail, he got out of the car, kicked the front wheel hard, and scolded: "Broken car." ”
Chen Xuanyi also got out of the car and said, "The car is broken, what should I do now?" ”
"You ask me, who do I ask." Zhao Hui said angrily, and then looked around with his hands on his hips.
At this time, Wu Xiaoran lowered his head and silently checked the information on the notebook, and then compared the detailed map of Shancheng tiled on his thigh, and kept calculating the location of the ancient tomb in his heart.
"Cousin Xiao Ran." Chen Xuanyi could only ask for help from Wu Xiaoran, who was omnipotent in his mind.
"Give me three minutes." Wu Xiaoran's expression was serious, holding a note in his left hand and a ruler in his right hand to calculate the direction on the map.
"Oh?" Zhao Hui felt that there was a drama when he heard this, so he followed Chen Xuanyi over and quietly watched Wu Xiaoran continuously write down things on the map that they couldn't understand.
Three minutes passed quickly. Wu Xiaoran raised his head, smiled openly, and said, "It's done." ”
"What is done, what is done." Chen Xuanyi and Zhao Hui came over like curious babies.
Wu Xiaoran got off the train with a smile, spread the subway on the roof of the car, and then pointed to a small circle circled by a red pen on the map mountain, and said, "If the ancient tomb recorded in this notebook really exists, then the location of the ancient tomb is here." ”
Zhao Hui and Chen Xuanyi looked at the map for a long time, and didn't see anything to do, Zhao Hui pushed Chen Yixuan, signaling Chen Yixuan to ask shamelessly, so Chen Yixuan was a little embarrassed and said, "So, where is Cousin Xiao Ran." ”
Wu Xiaoran covered his head, knocked Chen Xuanyi's forehead with a little force in his hand, and said, "I usually call me to study geography hard, but I just don't listen." ”
Chen Xuanyi hurriedly covered his forehead, his body involuntarily shrank back, and muttered: "I studied science, what geography do I see." ”
Wu Xiaoran ignored Chen Xuanyi, picked up the compass, took a few steps forward, and after a while, said: "The ancient tomb is not far from here, walk five hundred meters to the north, and then four hundred meters to the west." ”
"It's so close, let's go. Xuanyi, you hurry up and bring your guys. Zhao Hui shouted.
"Okay." Chen Xuanyi felt that the tiredness of the night was swept away in an instant, and replied excitedly.
The night is vast, the wilderness is quiet, the occasional insect chirps by, the small animals in the grass are creeping and vigilant, and there are too many outsiders intruding into their lives tonight.
Under the leadership of Wu Xiaoran, the three of them soon came to the location calculated by Wu Xiaoran, and a huge pit suddenly appeared on the originally flat road, which made the three of them stunned and difficult to accept for a while.
This huge pit was left by the three brothers of the foolish family.
"It turns out that there really is an ancient tomb, and the ancient tomb was born on its own!" Chen Xuanyi pointed to a stone gate in the pit and said excitedly.
"Damn, now Lao Tzu is also a person who has seen the world." Zhao Hui said.
Wu Xiaoran's mouth opened slightly, but he didn't react in shock.
Zhao Hui and Chen Xuanyi pulled Wu Xiaoran down the slope and slid down the pit to the tomb gate.
They can't wait to venture into the tomb.
At this time, Wu Xiaoran came back to his senses from his shock, and hurriedly stopped Zhao Hui and Chen Xuanyi, and said, "Wait, it is recorded in the book that Mr. Yue Shi once left a path with great mana, let me take a look・・・・・・"
Wu Xiaoran opened the notes and checked them carefully, some strange runes, and the road map were skipped one after another, and after a while, he turned to the last page, and there were a few words written on it.
"Qiankun shook Xunkan and left Genze, Du Jing was injured and shocked, congenital gossip, yin and yang opened the way・・・・・・"
The words fell, and the last piece of paper emitted a faint golden light, Wu Xiaoran was startled by the sudden change, and couldn't help but let go of his hand, but the note did not fall to the ground, but was suspended in mid-air, and the ancient characters on the paper seemed to have life, separated from the paper, and suspended around Wu Xiaoran and the three of them.
"What's the situation?" Although Chen Xuanyi longed to see the supernatural, he was a little afraid to see it for the first time. And Zhao Hui is the same, the two of them involuntarily leaned together.
Wu Xiaoran forced her composure, this was not the first time she had seen a scene out of the realm of science, thinking of all kinds of bad situations in her mind, her eyes were staring at the books in mid-air, and she was thinking about how to deal with it.
Between breaths, the light of the books is abundant, and inside the huge pit, it is like day.
"Ancestors, if the juniors have any offense, please forgive me." Wu Xiaoran tried to communicate with books.
At this time, Chen Yixuan and Zhao Hui were already at a loss and sat down on the ground.
A white figure walked out of the notebook, with a slender body and no facial features, and the figure said lightly: "Since you are destined to be a person, whether you can get enlightenment depends on your chance." Go ahead. ”
The white figure waved his hand, and the ancient characters that emitted a faint golden light around him rotated rapidly, and then they all melted into the ground, and in a blink of an eye, a giant gossip map appeared on the ground, covering the entire giant pit, and then the gossip map contracted rapidly, just encompassing the range where the three people were standing, and suddenly the light curtain rose to the sky, and finally the gossip map disappeared without a trace with Wu Xiaoran and the three of them.
"The ・・・・・・ of the Ancestors"
