Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Worm and the Puppet

Behind us is a sea of white flowers and insects, and in front of us is a solid bronze portal, sandwiching us in a narrow passage.

"Are we really going to die here?" Qingfeng said sadly, with a crying voice.

I didn't know how to comfort her, so I put my arm around her shoulder and said, "Don't be afraid, we will at least have a company even if we die!" ”

Qingfeng suddenly hugged me tightly, her whole body twitching, as if she was crying silently. Faced with such a desperate situation, Yuan Meng also came over, leaned on my shoulder, and I reached out to accept her.

I may die here because of the poison of corpses, but I don't need them to die with me!

You can't go back, so can't the bronze door really be opened? I stared at the bronze door and suddenly found a strange place, and I almost slapped myself in hatred.

I broke free from Yuan Meng and Qingfeng's embrace, and suddenly lay on the bronze door, shouting loudly, "What do you think this is? It's not a combination lock! ”

We just ran over frantically, because we were too anxious, we saw the bronze door and the first instinct was to open it by brute force, and we didn't look carefully at all, it turned out that there was a group of strange patterns on the bronze door, and the arrangement was extremely chaotic, and it was very likely to be a combination lock in ancient times.

When the sisters of the Yuan family heard this, they hurriedly rushed up, and when they saw the messy pattern on the bronze door, Yuan Meng exclaimed in surprise, "This is the garbled code map of the twenty-eight stars, and this door is a password door." ”

I quickly flashed to the side, just about to say, "Who can untie it!" Qingfeng had already stepped forward and started to decode.

Yuan Meng saw that I was anxious, and comforted me, "We have been playing with my father since we were children, and Qingfeng is the best at it!" ”

While listening to my ears, my eyes only stared anxiously at Qingfeng's white and tender fingers, only to see her hold down the star pattern on the bronze door, dragging it up and down, left and right, just a few seconds, the bronze block engraved with the star pattern formed a certain order, it seems that there are less than ten seconds, it can be completely unraveled.

But I didn't have time to be ecstatic, because I didn't know if the sea of worms behind me would give us another ten seconds. The rustling sound, like a maggot on the tarsal bones, is getting closer and closer. My palms are covered in cold sweat!

"Broken, the last one is stuck!" Qingfeng said in horror. Probably due to the long history of the year, the last bronze block engraved with the star map rusted to death, and it was difficult for Ren Qingfeng to move it no matter how hard he tried.

"I'm coming!" I shuddered when I heard this, and shouted loudly, under the beam of the wolf's eye flashlight above my head, I could already see the fat worms like white flowers and silkworms, crawling all over the tunnel, not to mention the tens of millions of people swarming. I was so scared that I almost didn't jump.

Qingfeng hurriedly flashed to the side and commanded me, "Two squares down!" ”

I clasped the rusty bronze block with my fingernails, and pulled it down with all my strength, and there were two astringent "clicks", and the last piece of the copper block was finally in place! There was an immediate sound behind the heavy bronze door, followed by a rattle and the bronze door opened. I was overjoyed, I didn't have time to look back at the sea of worms, they were already a few meters behind me anyway.

Strange, I didn't even know why I was so calm at this time, I grabbed Yuan Meng and Qingfeng and pushed them through the open bronze door, and at the same time, I kicked the rock underground, and followed them into with my momentum. At this time, I don't care if it's an abyss or a trap behind the door, anyway, if I die, it's better than dying in the mouth of a worm.

My body had just swept into the back of the bronze portal, and it was a deadly kick that used up all my strength, and my strength was more than a thousand catties! There was a muffled thud, and the heavy bronze door closed behind me. Shut out the sea of worms.

However, we were not safe, because of the last delay, when the bronze door was closed, some of the white worms had already followed. There are hundreds of them, and I, Yuan Meng and Qingfeng, picked up their backpacks as weapons and smashed them at the insects that followed.

As soon as the backpack went down, a black and purple juice splashed!

These hundreds of white worms were all annihilated in an instant under the frenzied slapping and smashing of the three of us.

At this time, we realized that the air was filled with a pungent stench, it seemed that the backpack was terrible, it was full of blood-like black liquid, Yuan Mengqingfeng and I took out the equipment that could be worn on our bodies in the bag, and the rest could only be discarded like the backpack.

This is not a place to stay for long, so we quickly walked down the narrow tunnel after processing the black juice that had been splashed on our bodies.

"What kind of bug is this, I've never seen it before!" As I walked, I said with palpitations, "It looks like a silkworm, but a silkworm can't be that fast!" ”

"I think they seem to be very similar to the legendary 'Styx Ghost Bugs', but I'm not sure they are!" Yuan Meng thought for a while and said.

"What is the Styx ghost bug?" I asked curiously.

Yuan Meng explained to me, "Legend has it that bad people who did a lot of evil in their lives will be punished and punished in hell after they die. That is, the flesh and blood of the whole body will be ground by the imp with a stone grind, and the blood will be licked and eaten by the three black dogs under the stone grinding. The remaining bones and fragments will be thrown into the Lechuan River and turned into ghost insects, and they will never be able to live beyond their lives. That ghost bug is the Styx ghost bug. However, this is a legend, and no one knows whether there is one in the world or not. In my opinion, those bugs are likely to be a variant of Gu worms. ”

When I heard that it wasn't really something from the underworld, my heart calmed down a bit, after all, no one wanted to fight against the unknown. I was about to apologize to the sisters and explain what I had done about the bloody gloves I had casually thrown away, when the tunnel ahead suddenly opened up, and before we knew it, we had entered a huge cavern.

Qingfeng used her flashlight to shine around, and found that it was a stone chamber the size of seven or eight rooms, and the rock dome and four walls were unusually smooth and smooth, obviously finished, but what was it for?

"Ah, someone!" Qingfeng held the flashlight and walked forward, and when the beam of light swept over the corner in front of him, he suddenly found that there seemed to be more than a dozen figures standing there. Startled, he suddenly screamed.

Not only Qingfeng, but even Yuan Meng and I saw the vague black shadow, which scared us a lot.

Imagine, in a dark ancient stone room, more than a dozen pitch-black figures suddenly appeared in front of them, and anyone has to consider whether they are humans or ghosts!

For the sake of safety, it is better for us to stay away from danger, Yuan Mengqingfeng and I turned off the flashlight, slowly retreated to the edge of the stone room, and just stood still, Yuan Meng exclaimed, "Ah, my God! ”

I hurriedly lit the wolf-eyed flashlight above my head, only to see Yuan Meng waving his hand at me and saying, "It's okay, it's okay, it's a statue, I thought it was a dead man!" ”

Sure enough, beside Yuan Meng, there was a statue as tall as an ordinary person, but due to its age, it was covered with dust, and it was impossible to see its original face. But it is indeed a stone statue, not a dead man.

"Huh," I walked over and looked up and down, this stone man had a strange posture, his hands were up above the top, holding a disc, no matter how he looked like a human-shaped lamppost in an ancient tomb.

To test my hypothesis, I reached out and used one of my remaining gloves to sweep away the heavy dust from the stone man's body, revealing it for what it was.

This is a male stone figure, but the strange thing is that the carved clothes on the body look like the Ming Dynasty.

Because this male stone carving head is a typical square scarf, the placket is buttoned, not a knot, and the stone man clothes, the top is short and the bottom is long, which are typical characteristics of Ming Dynasty clothing, rather than the long clothes and wide sleeves of the Tang Dynasty. What's going on?

Could it be that the relics of the Tang Dynasty that we have always thought we were exploring were actually from the Ming Dynasty? That's a lot of oolong.

However, if not, how to explain the costume of this stone man, people can cross, but the costume is absolutely impossible to cross.

When I said that this was a stone man of the Ming Dynasty, even Yuan Meng and Qingfeng were dumbfounded!

It seems that if we want to find out the truth, we must thoroughly investigate this stone chamber.

I reached into the plate that the stone man was holding, pulled out a lighter, lit the gloves, and threw them on. The glove burned quickly, and just as it was about to be extinguished, a huge flame suddenly rose from the stone plate, instantly illuminating the entire stone chamber.

"It's solidified whale oil!" I say.

"There's another one over there!" Qingfeng pointed to the corner of the stone chamber not far away and said loudly.

Truly, there is also a stone figure that is exactly the same as the one in front of me, standing in the other corner of the stone chamber, forming a diagonal straight line. I tore the pocket of one of my clothes and used it as a fire, and walked over to light that one. Then the dust on the stone man was cleaned up, and he found that this was exactly the same as the clothes just now, seeing this, Yuan Meng and Qingfeng's hearts suddenly sank to the bottom.

I comforted them and said, "Anyway, since we've come here, we're going to go no matter what." And perhaps the real purpose of the message left by your father is to make you look for a monument of the Ming Dynasty. After all, that is a strange person who created "Push Back Picture", how could it not be. ”

Saying this, Yuan Meng and Qingfeng's faces became a little better, and they also understood that they could only do what I said when the matter came to this point. Even if you can't think about it, you have to force yourself to see it.

Since the two stone menorah were all lit, the stone chamber the size of seven or eight rooms was illuminated as if it were day.

At this time, we finally saw clearly that the black shadow we saw when we first came was nothing more than stone figures arranged in a certain order. It's just that they are the same size as real people, plus they are pitch black and the light source is insufficient, so that we mistake them for demons and monsters.

I turned off the flashlight, saved the power, and walked forward, only to see that the stone figures were each dressed and in a strange posture, and the standing position was very peculiar, five in the front, only two in the middle, but there were as many as nine in the back row. Reminds me of something, but the stone man has a heavy dust, and he must be cleaned up and get more information before I can confirm it.

So I walked over to the middle of the first row of stone figures and stood still, and swept the dust off them with my sleeve.

The stone man unexpectedly revealed the costume of a Ming Dynasty soldier, and it held a genuine saber in its hand. Although it may have been eroded for hundreds of years, the saber is still cold and shining, and the air is cold. The anti-rust process seems to be excellent!

This one is a pawn, so what are the other four?

I hurriedly walked over to the stone figure on the left, who seemed to be holding a spear. I had just reached out and swept the dust on the stone man with my sleeve, when suddenly there was a sound of a rattica mechanism around me, and I looked at it in amazement.

I saw that the sword-wielding man who had just been wiped clean by me suddenly moved, and walked towards me with hard steps, and I was stunned.

How the is this stone man alive!
