Chapter Ninety-Nine: Resigned to Fate

The quicksand moved very fast, and a lot of scattered sand had overflowed from the stone cracks around here, and Jiang Li immediately pulled me to the stone gate that could not be opened, and said, "It's too late." ”

He Tou'er also quickly followed.

Rumble.

Before the stone gate was opened, the other two doors were blasted open by the quicksand, and the quicksand poured in in an instant, quickly spreading towards us.

He Tou'er was shocked, and hurriedly said to Jiang Li, "Chief Jiang." Open this stone door, or we're going to be buried here. ”

Jiang Li'en sighed, turned to face the stone gate, took out the magic sword and broke it into two pieces with a bang, and then held it in one hand, and inserted it directly into the stone gate with a click.

He Touer and I were stunned.

Most of the magic swords are made of copper, and this stone gate is extremely hard, it stands to reason that it cannot be inserted at all, when we were stunned, Jiang Li pinched the two sections of the magic sword, and pushed the heavy stone gate very hard.

The quicksand was getting closer and closer to us, and the stone gate creaked and began to move.

Jiang Li gritted his teeth, and the green tendons on his forehead and neck were exposed, and at the last moment when the quicksand approached us. Jiang Li suddenly roared, the stone door opened suddenly, the dust on the stone door fell, and we immediately waved our hands to disperse the dust.

Jiang Li looked back and grabbed me and He Tou'er. Pull inside the stone door, "Go." ”

The three of them entered the stone gate at the same time, and the quicksand had already reached the stone gate, but the stone gate also closed at the last moment.

We looked back at Shimen, patted our chests and faces, and said fearfully. "It's so dangerous, if we take another step, we will be buried by those quicksands."

Jiang Li turned around before us to check the structure of this place, and when he saw that we were very relaxed, he reminded us, "Don't be too happy, although it has not been swallowed up by quicksand for the time being, but this is the dead end of the Guiguzi Tomb, and it is unknown whether you can get out alive." ”

Jiang Li's words immediately made us nervous again, and we immediately turned around and investigated the place at the same time.

This place is much larger than the previous triangular stone chamber, round in shape, about 20 meters in diameter and about 10 meters high.

There are ten coffins in the stone room, surrounded by nine stone pillars that are thick and thick.

What is terrifying is that it has been thousands of years since the tomb was built, and the lamp on the nine stone pillars is still burning.

Directly opposite us, there was a staircase that climbed up, and at the end of the staircase was a stone door. It should be the exit.

As the captain of the archaeological team, He Touer is very sensitive to these things, and when he saw these coffins and the nine burning lamps, he was full of joy as if he had discovered a new continent, "The everlasting lamp, according to legend, burns in the ancient tomb and will never go out, I thought it was just a legend, but I didn't expect that there really was this everlasting lamp, which is a milestone discovery in the archaeological world." ”

After He Tou'er finished speaking, he was about to walk towards the stone pillar, wanting to study the ever-bright lamp, but was reprimanded by Jiang Li, "Don't move." ”

He Tou'er immediately stopped moving.

Jiang Li pointed to the stone slabs on the ground and said, "These stones are of different sizes and are irregularly arranged. This will never happen in such a sophisticated ancient tomb, ninety percent of them are the mechanisms laid by Guiguzi, and if you take a wrong step, you will never recover. ”

"What about King Wu of Zhou?" I asked, although I was afraid that King Wu of Zhou would appear in this, but I was vaguely looking forward to seeing him, not for anything else, just to see what kind of person this person who created a dynasty and created the underworld and hell.

However, there was nothing else in the stone chamber except for the coffin, the lantern, and the steps, and I thought that there would be chains around the Corpse King like we had seen before, but the situation here is completely different.

Jiang Li also looked around and said. "The greatest possibility is among these ten coffins, and you can't touch the coffin unless you have to. I know you're curious about King Wu of Zhou, but that kind of character, once you meet. It could be the last one. ”

I groaned.

He Touer's eyes are still on the Everbright Lantern, he is full of curiosity about the Everbright Lantern, he has been dealing with these things for so many years, the Everbright Lantern is in his eyes, just like the status of "Reverse Yin and Yang" in our eyes, if I see "Reverse Yin and Yang" on the coffin in front of me now, but I can't take it, this kind of look will also appear.

Jiang Li glanced at He Tou'er and said to him, "There is no everlasting light in this world. ”

He Tou'er didn't believe it. Because the example was right in front of him, he pointed to the lamp on the nine stone pillars and said, "Isn't that the everlasting lamp, which has been burning for thousands of years and has not been extinguished." ”

Jiang Li said, "It's the same principle as a ghost fire. All are produced by the combustion of white phosphorus. There was no oxygen in the chamber before, but when we came in, we put oxygen in, and the white phosphorus came into contact with the oxygen and burned on its own. It seems to us that these nine lamps have been burning for thousands of years, in fact they only burned when we just came in. ”

Jiang Li's words made He Tou'er's expectant eyes instantly dim ⌒ pondered carefully, as if this was indeed the case, and said stupidly, "I thought there was really the kind of eternal lamp recorded in ancient books, but it seems that it is just a conjecture." ”

The secret of the ever-bright lantern was punctured by Jiang Li. The coffin couldn't be moved, and He Tou'er had no hope, now he just wanted to go out early, looked at the messy stone slab in front of him and said to Jiang Li, "Jiang Dao Chang." The road ahead is dangerous, and the road behind is blocked, how are we going to get out now? ”

Jiang Li said, "Did you see the words on the coffin, that was the only clue left by Guiguzi to leave." ”

Only then did we notice the words carved on the coffin. I didn't recognize that word, but He Tou'er recognized it at a glance, "Dao, what kind of clue is this?" ”

"One yin and one yang for the road, heaven, earth and man three talents for the road, the southeast and northwest four elephants for the road, gold, wood, water, fire and earth five lines of the road, the avenue fifty, Tianyan forty-nine, escape to one of them, there is a glimmer of life in this, there are a total of ten coffins here, Guiguzi is the Taoist family, the Taoist will regard nine as the ultimate technique, but there is an extra coffin here. Find the extra coffin. You can find a way out. ”

I said, "Every coffin is exactly the same, how do you find the extra coffin?" ”

Jiang Li smiled, "The clue is on the stone slab on the ground, one yin and one yang is the way, the stone slab on the ground looks irregular, but it contains Tai Chi, Sancai, Sixiang, etc., as long as you find the stone slab that can constitute Tai Chi, if the coffin is on Tai Chi, you can rule it out." ”

The knowledge is too profound. Naturally, I don't understand, I have to rely on Jiang Li.

After Jiang Li finished telling us, he immediately squatted down and investigated the stone slab on the ground, looked at it for a while, took out a few copper coins from his body, tied them with red ropes, and threw them on the stone slab in front of him.

With only six copper coins, he stood up and said, "It's Tai Chi." ”

I looked at the six copper coins he threw out, and sure enough, they could be connected to form a Tai Chi pattern, and on this pattern, there was really only one coffin, and I hurriedly said, "Master, you are right, it is that coffin." ”

Jiang Li's grace sighed, and then he began to take out the copper coin to find the Sancai pattern.

He Tou'er and I waited here, and we were bored and squatted down.

Next, it took nearly three hours, and Jiang Li removed the coffins that were above the Three Talents, the Four Elephants, the Five Elements, the Liuhe, the Seven Stars, the Eight Trigrams, and the Nine Palaces.

In the end, there are still two coffins left that have not been eliminated, but they are also soon, as long as you find out which of the remaining two coffins is in the pattern of the ten directions, you can exclude which one.

However, Jiang Li stopped at this time. He stood up with a serious face.

He Tou'er and I looked at Jiang Li's expression, and had a bad premonition, so we hurriedly asked him, "What's wrong?" ”

Jiang Li said, "The remaining two coffins are on top of the ten-square pattern, and the two coffins, one is the coffin where Guiguzi's clothes are placed, and the other is the coffin that is sealed with things related to King Wu of Zhou, which cannot be ruled out, and can only rely on luck." ”

He Tou'er asked, "What then?" ”

"Resign to fate." Jiang Li said and took out a copper coin from his body and flicked it straight up, "If it's frontal, choose the one on our side." ”

This method has also been used by Jiang Li in the Nine Palace Array below our village before, but this time it is obviously a lot more dangerous, once the heavens do not favor us, we may die here.
