Chapter 18: The Underground Barracks (I) (Revised Version)
The southeast golden phoenix arrives, and ten thousand dry snow strikes.
These are the two sentences I parsed from the blue jade slate.
Liang Jun retreated towards me while strafing with a machine gun, Kang Yan was still sitting on the edge of the pit with tears in her eyes, staring blankly at everything that had disappeared in front of her, her cry seemed to have a special magic, the fierce attack of those green-haired scorpions decreased sharply, and even the terracotta warriors that climbed up became much quieter, these brainless guys were spinning in circles in place at the moment, and then collided with each other, and their arms and legs fell to the ground.
I looked at everything in front of me in amazement, and suddenly remembered something, pulled Kang Yan and retreated to the southeast of the tomb, and at the same time shouted to Li Laosi and them, the Vietnamese immediately picked up Li Laosi and retreated to our side after hearing my words, the cobra also seemed to feel something unusual, his eyes kept staring at Kang Yan when he retreated to our side, and his eyes were full of doubts.
Kang Yan herself also felt very strange, the moment she stopped crying, the attack of the scorpion and the terracotta warriors immediately resumed, and when the gnats saw this, they immediately said, "Sister doctor, don't stop, keep crying." β
I scolded: ", you think Dr. Kang is an acting school, and he can cry if he wants to." β
Kang Yan's emotions had returned to normal when she heard me relay Jiang Yuan's words, she was a doctor, and her psychological quality was stronger than that of ordinary people, and the gaffe just now was only because she saw Jiang Yuan disappear into the gravity mechanism with her own eyes, and her emotions were out of control for a while.
The gunfire stopped suddenly, and Liang Jun threw his machine gun and ran towards us, and the terracotta warriors behind him were taking square steps in hot pursuit.
From the time we came down to the present, there was not much ammunition left with us, Liang Jun and the Vietnamese and the cobra stood on the outermost side with machetes, Kang Yan and Li Laosi protected me behind them, and the gnats stood beside me with my equipment bag, all the hopes of life were tied to me alone, although I deciphered the words on the slate, but the meaning of the words was the key.
The southeast golden phoenix, according to the current words, means that the southeast direction of the golden phoenix has arrived, and the southeast is where we are now, but behind me is a wall, and the mottled murals are difficult to identify what it once looked like and what it meant to express.
I suddenly thought of the grasshopper and asked him, "Brother, can you restore the mural?" β
The grasshopper nodded and said, "Trust me." β
At this moment, Guo Shuming is serious and naΓ―ve, and he solemnly promised me, saying that he would definitely complete the task I gave him.
I asked Liang Jun to buy us half an hour no matter what, no matter the cost.
Liang Jun nodded in agreement, and the Vietnamese and the cobra also expressed their understanding, Li Laosi looked back at the grasshopper, and suddenly asked me: "Boss Xiao, do you know his background?" β
I shook my head, "I don't know, Fourth Master, you ask that, do you know?" β
Li Laosi squinted his eyes and shook his head, "No, no, Boss Xiao laughed." I and this little brother are in the Pan homeland, which is a few faces, very shallow, very shallow. β
I smiled and didn't say anything.
Twenty minutes passed, Liang Jun and Cobra's physical strength decreased rapidly, at this moment they were surrounded by terracotta warriors, and the machete was also missing in the fight.
The Vietnamese were forced to the jade couch by the green-haired scorpion, and for some reason, those green-haired monsters did not dare to approach the jade couch, but they were surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside, and the two big crows upturned were murderous and terrifying.
"How much longer?" Liang Jun shouted.
I looked down at the table below, "Ten minutes to go." Brother, hold on. β
Liang Jun made a "receive" gesture to me in the midst of the chaos, and in just a second, he was drowned in the terracotta warriors.
The cobra was light and nimble, and he jumped around on the shoulders of the terracotta warriors, unscrewing its head with both hands when he had the chance, and he didn't know how much he had broken in the last twenty minutes.
With a sigh, "Boss, it's done." β
In 24 minutes, the entire mural was restored.
This is the true strength of the grasshopper.
The 1.5-meter-wide and 2-meter-long strip mural appeared in front of me in bright colors, and with the message of this mural, I quickly guessed the meaning of "Southeast Golden Phoenix Solstice".
Leaning against the wall with a pale face, the corner of her mouth hooked up a smile, she looked at me and said, "Boss, I didn't disappoint you. β
I patted him on the shoulder, "You've never let me down. β
The mural tells the story of the preparation of a sacrificial scene, in which a woman sleeps peacefully in a vermilion coffin.
A man in a black robe and a fanged mask walked slowly into the room with a golden scepter in hand, his fingers long and his nails curved like eagle's talons.
In the coffin, the young woman heard the call and slowly got up and walked to one of the walls of the room, her hands gently brushing over the wall, those hands, white and slender.
In the last scene, a humanoid shadow appears on the wall, and in this shadow, I see a small secret door.
I pulled Kang Yan to stand at the end of the mural, and sure enough, under the light source of the miner's lamp, a figure appeared on the wall, and that shadow was exactly the same as the last scene of the mural, and at this time, I also saw a very shallow square outline from Kang Yan's reflection on the wall.
I took the brush in the cada's hand to trace the square outline, turned to Liang Jun and shouted, "Great army, the time has come." β
When Liang Jun heard my words, he waved his arms a few times like a superhuman explosion to kill a bloody path.
He was standing side by side with me in front of the mural, and he asked, "Is this it?"
I said, "Yes." β
Liang Jun pointed to the square I had drawn on the wall and said, "Get out of the way." β
We stood some distance back, and by this time, the cobra also began to retreat, and on the way back, he also rescued the Vietnamese with a rope.
As soon as Liang Jun punched down, a fist-sized black hole appeared in the wall, and I realized that it was empty behind it.
I put my hand in to explore the depth, but suddenly found that there is a pull ring inside, curious to hook the pull ring with my finger and pull it out, I thought there would be a stone door to be opened or other secret doors, but I didn't expect that the pull ring pulled, but there was a violent shaking, like an earthquake.
Those terracotta warriors don't have our own sense of balance like us humans, and this moment shakes them to the ground, and they can't stand at all.
