Chapter 33: The Ancient Tomb (8)
"Where did you come from, why are you so vicious, and you want to destroy my whole people!" An old man in a green robe floated in mid-air, a white beard knee-length, green leaf petals swirling around it, the old man stared at the stone with cold eyes, suppressed anger and said.

"Meet the Ancestor!"
The moment the old man and the villain appeared, the army of flying insects in the air landed one after another, and the villains on the flying insects jumped off the back of the insects in unison, knelt down on one knee reverently, bowed their heads and shouted in unison.
"Joke! Murderers are always killed, can you only hurt people, and I can't fight back? The stone looked directly at the old man and said.
Although the mouth is hard, but the heart has already been turbulent, it is difficult to calm down, the old man in front of him, the small body exudes a terrifying aura, the air becomes heavy, and breathing becomes difficult. The stone looked at the old man, but could not judge the depth of it.
"You're from that cemetery, why have you never seen you?" The old man asked in a low voice.
"What which cemetery? Lao Tzu was inexplicably sent here by a black stone house. Shi concealed the fact that he had broken into the grave, and said simply.
"Black Rock House!" The old man's face was shocked, his expression became solemn, and then he stretched out a hand and pinched his fingers, and there was a light beating around him, and after a long time, he raised his head, looked at the stone with a complicated expression, and said: "The test is on, you are the one who entered the tomb test!" ”
The aura of the old man and the villain gradually restrained and flew towards the stone, stopping about a meter away from the stone, and explained: "A misunderstanding, the Wuluohong clan is just a sojourner here, not an obstacle for you. Our ancestors had an agreement with the tomb owner here that they would not hinder the people who experimented, and the younger generations were reckless and shot at the experimenters, which was the fault of our people, and as compensation, the old man was willing to be the guide of the young man. ”
"Oh? Interesting, it just so happens that I have a lot of questions for you. The stone looked at the old man with interest and said.
The old man's eyes were lowered, and he stretched out a finger and tapped lightly, and the branches and leaves at the foot of the stone grew and turned into a chair, and the green leaves in front of the stone gathered to form a round table. The old man landed lightly on the table and said calmly, "Young man, please speak." ”
"Who is the owner of this tomb?" Stone asked.
"I don't know that the tomb owner's magic power is through the sky, and it is beyond the reach of my generation." The old man said.
"Why do you dwell in the tombs?" The stone was curious.
The old man glanced up at the stone slightly, and then sighed, and said: "When the ancestor was separated from the team of his clan due to an accident, he began a life of no fixed place and displacement, and it coincided with the chaotic years. ”
"I see." It turned out that there was such a cause, but Shi didn't plan to explore the history of the Hongluo clan, so he asked straight to the point: "What is the purpose of this experiment?" ”
"I don't know." The old man said truthfully.
"How many levels do I need to pass to be successful?" Stone asked
"I don't know." The old man said.
"What can be gained from the results of the experiment?" Stone asked.
"I don't know." The old man asked.
"What about the failure of the experiment?" Stone asked.
"Death." The old man said.
"That ・・・・・・" Shi suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and said with a wry smile: "Old man, do you know the way out, I don't want to participate in the ・・・・・・"
"There is no way back." The old man said lightly.
"I knew it." The stone muttered, and then said, "Then how do you start the experiment?" ”
"The young man comes with the old man" The old man slowly floated up and flew towards the depths of the cave, the villains on the ground gave way, the stone immediately got up, the tables and chairs dispersed, and the old man ran with the old man's figure, and quickly followed.
Through the woods, over the flowers, over the hills・・・・・ I don't know how many miles I walked, until I finally came to the end of the cave.
"I said・・・・・・ Huhu・・・・・・ how far is it・・・・・・ Huhu・・・・・・ can we take a break・・・・・・ I sprained my foot last night・・・・・・ you need to take care of the injured・・・・・・" Stone said with his hands on his knees, panting and babbling.
"It's already here." The old man said lightly.
"Arrived?" When the stone looked up, he saw a huge door standing on the wall of the cave, and in the center of the giant door there was a statue of a fierce ghost's head, and the surrounding area was covered with stone bricks with patterns, but it was very messy, and it was impossible to see what was drawn.
"Open the Ghost Head Gate, and you can enter the next level."
The stone took a few steps back, looked up at the giant gate, his throat squirmed, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, then looked at the old man, and said, "Is this to be pushed away ・・・・・・?" That's seventy or eighty meters high! ”
"Of course not." The old man said and flew up in front of the ghost head, stroked the fangs with his hand, and pressed forward with his mana, and the halo quickly spread outward along the stone statue, and in the next second, the ghost head seemed to come to life, his eyes rolled, emitting red light, and his mouth opened and closed with a rough sound, and said: "Within a limited time, spell out the ghost map, and you can pass the level." ”
As soon as the words fell, the order of the surrounding stone bricks was disrupted, moving into the frame below, and hundreds of stone bricks were visually inspected, which was dazzling. Then the ghost head opened his mouth and stretched out his long tongue, and an hourglass was placed on the tongue, and the fine sand in it fell little by little.
"The trial has begun." The old man flew down and pointed to the frame and said.
"That's how it begins? I'm not ready yet. The stone quickly stood up and looked at the frame, the hundreds of stone bricks were in a disorderly order, and the stone was dizzy to see.
"How do you move the bricks?" Stone asked, turning his head.
"All it takes is a nudge." The old man said.
"I see." Shi Pan sat down and said, "I think that Lao Tzu was the most powerful in mathematics in the village back then, and this is not difficult for me." With that, the stone looked at the pattern on the frame very carefully, and reconstructed the complete pattern in his mind. I don't know how long it took, the stone stood up, exhaled deeply, and approached cautiously, ready to piece it together, but saw the ghost's tongue retract and said in a rough voice: "The test is over, failed." Then the stone bricks in the frame glowed slightly, and returned to the area around the ghosthead, which returned to its grinning appearance and returned to calm.
"I haven't started yet." The stone looked gloomy and looked at the old man. As if asking, what to do now?
"Unlimited times, start over." The old man seemed to understand the expression of the stone and said.
"I see, it doesn't seem to be difficult." The stone said, learning from the old man's appearance just now, and started the experiment again. Piecing together the ghost and god diagram as many times as you like, it would not be appropriate to try a few more times, Shi thought to himself.
The ghost's tongue sticks out again, and the sand of the funnel falls and the timer begins.
Stone was full of confidence, clapped his hands and looked up at the stone bricks, ready to start the puzzle, but found that the pattern on the stone bricks had changed.
"What's going on?" The stone pointed to the bricks and said.
"Every time I reopen the test, the pattern will change, and there are thousands of gods and ghosts in the world, and none of the patterns are repeated." The old man said.
"What!" Hearing this, the stone began to get anxious. It took all the time to look at the patterns, how do you put them together? Stone shook his head, tried to get rid of negative emotions, and kept encouraging himself in his heart, so Stone threw himself into the great puzzle business.
The second time, failed. The third time, the failure・・・・・・ the nth time, the failure.
When the declaration of failure sounded again, Stone lay on his back on the ground, with a loveless expression, and muttered to himself: "I confess, math has nothing to do with puzzles・・・・・・ should I be alone here?" ”
Thinking of this, Shi glanced at the stone bricks around the ghost head, and there was a sense of oppression when he returned to elementary school to face the final exam. Thinking of this, the stone wanted to cry without tears, and suddenly, the stone screamed, and a carp stepped forward, and the mana on its body was running like a surge, as if it was about to burst out in the next second.
The stone is going to break it with force!
"I advise you that you'd better not." The old man said.
"Oh?" The stone did not completely lose his mind and turned his head to look at the old man.
"You're going to die." The old man squinted and said.
"What・・・・・・" Shi was deflated all of a sudden: "Then what should I do・・・・・・" After speaking, Shi made a bitter face and did it. As a qualified exorcist, after so many contacts, the stone did not doubt the old man's words. It's entirely possible that this door will kill him.
"I can open this door for you. But ・・・・・・," said the old man after a long time.
"Oh?" The stone looked at the old man, and then said, "But what? ”
"It's the old man who asks for something." The old man said as he flew to the stone and bent down and said.
"Please." Now, I think in my heart, as long as it doesn't destroy the world, everything is easy to say. As long as you can open this door.
"As I said earlier, our ancestors were separated from their family a long time ago and came here to recuperate. Over the years, we also want to find clues about our family. However, it has become a place of seclusion, and the tombs are so special that only the experimenters can continue to walk. ”
"You want me to take you out?" Stone asked.
"No, we won't leave, the danger ahead is not yet clear, let alone the outside world, which has been cut off from us for thousands of years? I don't dare take such a risk. The old man said.
"Then how can I help you first."
"Take him. Come out, rice. "A beetle flew out of the grass not far away, and on top of it sat a small man with a spear. The villain's name is Mi Lu, and he is the leader who previously commanded the army to attack the stones.
"Meet the Ancestor." Mi Lu jumped off the beetle, knelt down on one knee and said.
"If you let go of your mind and let him contaminate your breath, you can take rice with you. If he can get outside, he will go to find his home. If we find our own family, we can recognize our ancestors and return to our ancestors. The old man's tone revealed his immense pride in his clan.
"Deal!" The stone thought he was going to give his life. Just bring a villain, it's too cost-effective, this deal. The stone opened its arms, its breath was exposed, and the old man cast a spell to invisibly complete the assimilation of his breath.
"Thank you, young man." The old man said that he didn't know where two flying insects came out, and the flying insects each held a pill, one was dark red, and the other was tender green. The flying insect flew in front of the stone with the pill, and the old man said: "This is a little bit of the old man's mind, the old man cultivates the way of nature, and is well versed in the refining of the elixir, the dark red one is called the fierce battle pill, and after taking it, it can burst out several times the combat power in a short time, and after the effect of the medicine, it is only the body that collapses, and there are no other side effects." The green one is called the Rejuvenation Pill, which can instantly restore physical strength. These two pills can be used to save lives. ”
"Thank you." The stone was overjoyed, and he didn't think much about it, he just accepted it, it was all at this juncture, and there was no need for the old man to pit him.
"Good! Let's get started. The old man said.
The stone opened the experiment with ease, and under the guidance of the old man, it only took one-third of the time to complete the puzzle. At the moment of moving the last stone brick, the hourglass fine sand was forbidden to fall, the ghost head retracted its long tongue, and the voice of the rough ore sounded again: "The test is complete, the customs clearance." ”
After speaking, the ghost's mouth opened, the ground began to tremble, there was gravel falling from the door, and the door slowly opened, and it stopped after opening about a dozen meters wide.
"That's cool!" Stone said with a dance. Stone deeply felt that this puzzle piece was countless times more difficult than fighting!
"Your name is Mi Lu, right, we don't know each other, let's go, let's work together to tide over the difficulties!" The stone realized that the villain was unusual, and now said as if coaxing a little girl, no matter how you look at it, there is a very obscene look.
Silent as he rode on the beetle, he flew to the side of the stone, and followed the stone into the gate, which then slowly closed・・・・・
Boom, the giant door closed, and the ghost head returned to its hideous appearance.
"No one has passed the test for many years, is it worth wasting such a precious pill?" An old woman's soul body appeared beside the old man, and the old woman looked sad, looked at the giant gate and said.
"It's worth it." The old man thought for a long time and said.
"Mi Lu is our last direct descendant, you let him do something impossible! You're so ruthless. The old woman said bitterly.
"No, I see hope in this young man. His knife ・・・・・・" the old man said and fell into deep thought, not knowing when the old woman disappeared, and immediately after, the old man also disappeared.
