(Thank you to the carp who rewarded yesterday, the grass tree at the end of the world, and the wind of Danfeng.) Don't talk nonsense today, I have a headache, I guess I didn't sleep well, and I have to code words......)
Chu Xiangnan went in, what else do I have to say, and immediately followed closely along the hole, but I never thought that the hole was really uneven, I didn't climb two steps before pressing the wound in my lower abdomen, and finally turned my body sideways to continue... At this moment, Chu Xiangnan in front of him suddenly said, "Don't rush over, I'll go first." ”
Go first? What does this mean?
I didn't ask any more questions, and when she had gone out of the cave completely, I crawled out of the hole, and when I looked at the edge of the hole, I was immediately startled by what I saw—how could I have thought that there was such a huge hole hidden here!
Originally, according to the location here, I speculated that it might be a tomb, and when I saw it, I realized that I was wrong, and this is really a big stone chamber. The whole stone chamber is circular, more than 20 meters in diameter, more than 5 meters high, and there are countless fist-thick iron chains in it, and the chain is full of patina, which looks like it has been very old.
In addition to these iron chains, there are not many things in the stone chamber, and the center of the circle is a round cake with a diameter of more than three meters and black paint, and it is not clear what it is; On the top of the black circle there is a huge beast's mouth carved in stone, without a head, just a pair of muzzles protruding from the relief from the boulder at the top, with fangs in the mouth and a column-shaped thing, the thickness of the arm, and the length of almost a meter.
There is a ring in the middle of the column, under the ring is an upside-down sword, the blade of the sword points directly to the black round cake, looking at the difference between the style and the TV movie, but a bit of the meaning of the Yue Wang Goujian sword, a stunned handle, there is a hole in the tail, and the ring on the stone pillar is through this hole, set on the column.
When my eyes first fell on the sword, I felt a little strange in my heart, because the appearance of this sword was very similar to the keel dagger on my side - not that the appearance of its door was the same, but when I looked at this sword, I had a very familiar feeling, as if I were looking at father and son.
The same verve and temperament between them, which can easily stand out from the vast crowd and make people distinguish at a glance, is Shen Yun and proof that the two swords are connected.
Unlock the secrets of the stone chamber, and I guess the keel dagger will also let me know more!
Three or four meters away from the black round cake in the middle, there are five human-shaped stone pillars, faintly enclosing the round cake, and a few meters outward, on the wall of the stone chamber, another five human figures are also embossed from the boulder wall, and the position is just in the middle of the gap between the human-shaped stone pillars - if ten ropes are pulled out from the center of the black round cake, five are connected to the stone pillars, and five are connected to the relief, just divide the stone chamber into ten parts of uniform size, and the area is the same.
The humanoid stone pillars and reliefs are all in the same form, kneeling on one knee, tucked under the armpit, and the arm protruding only slightly, as if on guard and defense, and as if praying.
The height of the humanoid stone pillar is almost two meters, and the relief figure is a little taller, only a few feet from the top of the stone chamber, which should be five meters. Our position is exactly at the shoulder of a stone carving, four meters above the ground, but because of the relationship between the reliefs, it is not difficult for Chu Xiangnan to go down. By the time I was observing the stone chamber, she had settled on the ground, carefully walking through the cracks in the chains, towards the center of the circle.
The light of the red wax gradually dispersed, and I gradually saw the whole stone chamber clearly, and by chance, I suddenly noticed that the seemingly messy iron chains were actually very regular: from the black round cake in the middle, five iron chains extended, each of which penetrated into the hole in the belly of the humanoid stone pillar in the middle, and then split into two from the position of the stone pillar's hands:
A stone sculpture folded toward the opposite wall, also connected to its lower abdomen, then came out of its mouth, and then went towards the top of the stone chamber, with its tail buckled at the root of the fangs of the giant mouth;
One was directly connected to the mouth of one of the other four stone pillars in the middle, and it never came out again.
When I first saw it, I felt that the iron chain was extremely messy, but after a few more glances, the messy feeling suddenly disappeared, and I felt that the iron chain seemed to imply some kind of indescribable connection, which was extremely wonderful - at this moment, Chu Xiangnan below had already reached the position of the black round cake in the middle, and looked around left and right, she suddenly shouted: "An Ran, this is the Five Elements Array!" ”
"Five Elements Array?" I unconsciously repeated, and at the same time began to climb down the relief towards the ground: "How do you see that?" "Look at it." Chu Xiangnan raised his hand, and suddenly flew out to the talisman and hit the head of the relief next to me.
The talisman was burning on fire, and I looked around, and suddenly found that there was a twisted and winding symbol engraved at the mouth of the relief heart, which was the oracle bone rune of 'water' in the Chinese script, and in an instant, I already understood the truth!
This should be the Five Elements Array, the outer relief represents the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, and the human-shaped stone pillar inside is also the five elements, and the iron chain connection between the human-shaped stone pillars in the middle represents the five elements of mutual restraint, and the five iron chains facing outward represent the five elements of each other, among which according to the yin and yang 'yang qi, yin forming' said, the inner five elements of the iron chain swallow in the mouth and abdomen, disappear to represent the qi; the outer iron chain is connected to the zenith giant mouth, representing the yin formation.
The inner five elements of yang qi are the five elements of each other, and what can make it restrained must be a yin thing, needless to say, the location of this thing must be the black round cake in the middle.
Sure enough, there is a five-element magic circle hidden under the criminal investigation building!
I hurried to the middle, the black round cake shape turned out to be a pit, the middle was full of viscous and dark mucus, it looked almost dry, but the tentacles were still elastic, and it was slightly soft to step on, "This is natural asphalt," Chu Xiangnan frowned slightly, and said with a solemn face: "During the Yellow Emperor period, there was this kind of natural asphalt lake around the tribe, and later I heard that it was fished out to refine and suppress the magic of the twelve ancestors - if I guessed correctly, there must be one of the twelve ancestors in this pit, that is, the main one who made such a big move this time!" ”
"If it's the Twelve Ancestral Witches, how can he have anything to do with these people?" I was surprised, "Could it be that there is something about soul reincarnation in this?" ”
There was still an hour and a half when the door was broken, and now more than forty minutes have passed, and now that the Five Elements Circle has been found, there is still plenty of time. According to the original idea, we can use the talisman formation to strengthen the power of the five elements, and then guard it, just wait for the five ghosts to come to break the formation when they get rid of one of them, and then we can break the wishful thinking of both the ancestral witch and the ghost, as long as its purpose is not achieved, we can destroy this guy even if we play slowly.
It's tried its best to make so many moves, so I don't think it has many tricks, right?
Chu Xiangnan took out the cinnabar literary and martial arts pen and other things, added the cinnabar to the ink cylinder and turned it open, and immediately prepared to use the Five Elements Technique to enhance the strength on the humanoid stone pillar in the middle, but at this time, in the darkness that was as silent as a tomb, there was a strange sound!
It was the sound of brushing, like heavy rain on the eaves of the house, and like someone stir-frying beans, crackling and crackling... Chu Xiangnan's face changed, he couldn't take care of the civil and martial arts pen and cinnabar ink in his hand, and hurriedly put his ear on the top of the human-shaped stone pillar, and after listening to it for two seconds, he suddenly raised his head, his face was full of fear, and as soon as he raised his hand, Zhang Fu shot towards the hole when he came!
The talisman ignited as soon as it left his hand, turning into a ball of fireball that shot out of the air, like a long lightning bolt that suddenly illuminated the stone wall—in the light, several small black shadows came out of the hole!
Again, rats?
My heart moved at will, I unconsciously looked at Chu Xiangnan's back, who knew that she was also turning her face, her eyes were facing each other, a faint flush suddenly appeared on her face, she salivaed, turned over and climbed to the top of the humanoid stone pillar - for some special reasons, she actually overcame her 'rat phobia'...
As soon as Chu Xiangnan climbed up, I put the cinnabar ink cylinder into my pocket, and before I had time to make the next move, the sound of swishing had quickly rushed into the stone room along the hole, densely packed with countless people, and it was really an overwhelming swarm of rats!
On the stone wall, in the cave, and on the relief figure, a large area of rats poured in like a tide, and there was no end in sight, and the scene was similar to the time when the scarab beetle came out in the second episode of "The Mummy", and was poured into the stone chamber by a 'squirting' posture, and it was endless, like a dam that opened a sluice, and the flood was raging and rushing!
Then, at once, the rats scattered along the stone wall, swarming in several directions...
When the rats squirted out, I also moved, and ran towards another stone pillar, ready to climb to the top to dodge, but the rats kept running along the stone wall and did not come down to the ground. Could it be that it wasn't me and Chu Xiangnan who attracted them, but another purpose? ”
The rats scattered in all directions, and their destination gradually became clear as I wondered:
A part of the rats climbed up to the top of the stone chamber along the stone wall, all gathered near the giant mouth, bustling and piling up, getting higher and higher, from time to time some rats were squeezed out of the air and fell from the air, fell into the asphalt pit and quickly turned over, and rushed back along the stone wall again...
Other rats followed the stone wall to the body of the five reliefs on the outside, and rushed along the iron chain towards the human-shaped stone pillar in the inner circle - Chu Xiangnan jumped down from the stone pillar in a panic, and retreated towards the asphalt pit in the middle with me, clutching the few remaining talismans in his hands, extremely nervous, guarding against the possible pounce of the rats at any time.
However, these rats did not attack us, but just hugged the body of the five humanoid stone sculptures, and in the squeak, a pair of small green eyes stared at us, and did not move!
The rats on the top of the stone chamber and the five human-shaped stone pillars are gathering more and more, and they are getting thicker and thicker, no matter who looks at this strange scene, they will definitely not feel that it is vaguely ordinary, and it is 100% that something is going to happen-I suddenly moved in my heart, and pulled Chu Xiangnan beside me: "Take a look, how long is it left?" ”
"W-What?" She shuddered, as if she had been frightened by what I said.
I immediately frowned and repeated, "I said, how long is it until the time comes?" ”
That's at this time!
Chu Xiangnan's face suddenly had a ghostly expression, her eyes crossed my shoulder, looked straight behind me, and suddenly opened her mouth wide - followed her to take out her mobile phone in a panic, glanced at it, and suddenly exclaimed: "Impossible!" No way! Not yet, why is this happening?! ”
On the phone, the time displayed is - 10:38.
I turned around suddenly, and what I saw was a large area of dark blue, a faint, eerie blue-white light, that filled the entire stone chamber!
