Chapter 17: The Great Circle Array
The three of them looked in the direction pointed by Dongzi in unison, only to see blood-red murals all over the walls of the entire tomb, although this ancient tomb does not know how many hundred or even thousands of years, but the color is strangely as if it has just been painted. The content of the mural is four people carrying a coffin, but the coffin is not the nine they saw, but a super large coffin with a coffin.
The nine dragon heads are facing the middle, and the four people put the coffin above the open space in the middle of the nine dragon heads, and the four animals correspond to the four animals, namely the green dragon, the white tiger, the black snake, and the strange bird, these four animals are dripping with blood, which is like an altar, and there are thousands of people kneeling densely under the altar.
Seeing this, Yue Feng's mind suddenly flashed the pattern of the four elephants they had seen, he suddenly and quickly checked the four elephants, and when he reached the bottom of the last white tiger pattern, the other three people also rushed over. "Brother Feng, what did you find?" The horse monkey asked.
Yue Feng put his hand on the white tiger pattern and slowly took it down, and by the faint light, the three of them froze, because in Yue Feng's hand, they saw bright red blood slowly dripping. "Master Xiaofeng, what's the matter, why is this white tiger dripping blood?" Cui Fatzi was also a little frightened, wanting to know if this thing was so serious in Yuefeng's mouth.
Yue Feng said thoughtfully, "The white tiger and the red bird are dripping blood, but the green dragon Xuanwu is not, which means that the green dragon and Xuanwu are still alive, and the white tiger and the red bird have been killed by us." "We already knew this, didn't you burn the white tiger to death, and the Vermilion Bird was killed by us, so there's nothing strange about it." Cui Fatzi was a little relieved after hearing this.
Yue Feng did not relax in the slightest: "Look at the mural. Yue Feng pointed in the direction of the four animals, followed Yue Feng's hand, they understood, the blood of the four animals was connected to the altar, and after the altar was gathered, nine dragon heads flowed into each other, and the mouth of the dragon head was facing up, spraying blood onto the coffin, and the coffin was shining.
Dongzi didn't open his mouth all the time, and the horse monkey said, "Could it be that we killed the White Tiger and Suzaku and helped him open the mechanism?" Yue Feng was obviously stunned by this never-before-seen sight, and he said lightly, "I don't know." At this time, several people were a little panicked.
"Lord Xiaofeng, doesn't this mural say that there should be nine dragon heads here, why don't we open a few coffins first and see what happens." Cui Fatzi knew he couldn't waste his time here. Yuefeng didn't have any good way now, he couldn't find a way out, and he couldn't sit still, so he simply agreed to Cui Fatzi's suggestion, "Okay." ”
At this time, Dongzi suddenly spoke. "Brother Feng, look, there's a mechanism there." When the other three people heard this, they suddenly felt their eyes light up, and they ran to the raised stone to take a look, and sure enough, there was a mechanism, Yue Feng took out the soul suppression whip from his waist and hit the mechanism hard, clicking...... As the rubble fell, a stone door slowly opened.
A breath of fresh air came from the stone gate, and the horse monkey sniffed it, "It should be leading to the ground, and there is a smell of earth." Yuefeng took the lead and four people lined up and walked into the stone gate, and as soon as they entered, the stone door automatically closed, making them tremble with a clang.
As soon as he entered the stone gate, he saw the light, "Lord Xiaofeng, there is a stone step here," Cui Fatzi shouted. "Go up and see" Yue Feng walked in front, others followed, and several people walked along the winding stone steps for a long time, but there was light above their heads, and there was a fresh breeze, and they didn't feel tired.
Suddenly, a very dazzling light made all four people feel that their eyes were dark, "Everyone close their eyes and open them slowly." "After a while they got used to the sunlight here, and when they opened their eyes, they were actually on the ground." What's going on, could it be that the owner of this tomb doesn't want us to disturb him, so he let us out, this guy is quite kind. "The horse monkey is a little unwilling.
"Now that you're here, let's replenish some energy first. Dongzi, are all the guys you brought with you still there? Yue Feng sat on the ground, rubbing his wrist as he asked. In, in, in. Dongzi looked very happy when he came up, "Let's set up a tent and rest for a while." With that, the four of them quickly set up their tents and ate compressed dry food.
After eating, several people had not slept for a few days and nights, and fell asleep in the tent, Yuefeng quietly called Cui Fatzi. "Fatty, follow me." The two of them walked a little far from the camp. "Fatty, didn't you go down from the mountain last time? Isn't it this hole? Cui Fat scratched his head, "No, I'm sure." ”
"Well, it seems that there is more than one entrance and exit to this tomb." Yue Feng suddenly understood something. "Brother Feng, how does that Dongzi know about the exit? I never figured out if I was too stupid. Cui Fatzi asked Yuefeng with a silly smirk. Yue Feng patted him on the shoulder, "It's not that you're too stupid, it's obvious, it's that he's being forced to rush, and we're going to go down again." ”
"Is there something wrong with this Dongzi?" Cui Fatzi had long suspected it, but he just wanted to get Yuefeng's affirmation. Yue Feng just smiled, "Let's go, let's go back." The two of them returned to the camp one after the other, and Yue Feng lay in the tent, "It seems that this fat man looks stupid, but he is actually much smarter than a horse monkey." Yue Feng thought about it and fell asleep.
When they came out of the tomb in the morning, because they were too tired, a few people slept until the sun was about to set, the horse monkey woke up first, he pushed Yuefeng "Brother Feng", Yuefeng did not sleep steadily, caught the horse monkey, the horse monkey understood, and the two people sneaked out of the tent.
"Brother Feng, I've been running away since we met again, and I haven't had time to tell you, let me tell you, that old man is not a good person." Yue Feng listened quietly, "Brother Feng, why didn't you react, or did you already know?" The horse monkey didn't react when he saw Yuefeng, and asked. If you knew, I wouldn't say it," the horse monkey pouted, deliberately making Yue Feng pay attention to himself, like a child.
Yue Feng looked at it and smiled, patted him, "Go on." The horse monkey immediately smiled and came over, "I just said, Brother Feng, I was hurt by him, we went into the water together, he said that he was very familiar with the underwater, so he asked me to follow him, I didn't think about anything else, just followed, and he took me to a cave and asked me to wait for him there, but as soon as he left, a big black snake came out, that disgusting." ”
Yuefeng knew that it must be the Yongdao they had been to, and the horse monkey saw that Yuefeng did not speak and continued, "The black snake is like crazy when he sees people, I desperately cut off the head of the snake, and I will soon be unable to hold on, leaning behind me, and I entered a stone room, there is a person there, who looks exactly like Dongzi, I thought it was Dongzi, but when I got closer, the person was dripping with green water. ”
Yue Feng interrupted him, "How did you escape?" Yue Feng knew that it was the true body of Xuanwu, that is, the person who was made into a puppet by the Soul Forcing Gu worm, you must know that if this thing encounters someone who invades from outside, it must be killed, because although it has the essence of a human when it is alive, it has long lost its mind.
The horse monkey smiled and said, "Maybe it's my life, I've fought with it for dozens of rounds, and I can't hold on, but every time it's about to kill me, I hesitate, and then I'm really tired, and I faint when I run out of strength, and I wake up and see you." ”
Yue Feng can't understand, is this really just a horse monkey's life? He couldn't figure it out. "Beware of Di Laohan and Dongzi" Yue Feng finished speaking and walked towards the camp, and the horse monkey also followed behind and went back. Back at the camp, Dongzi and Cui Fatzi had already woken up, and Cui Fatzi shouted, "Where did you two go, grandpa, I thought you were captured by that baby." ”
"Look at your dog's mouth, you will be eaten by zongzi sooner or later." The horse monkey and Cui Fat Man joked, and Cui Fat Man responded, "It's tired of me, or your muscles, all kinds of delicious." After a while, the two of them went to the mountains to hunt game. There was a humidity in the mountains at night, and the four of them raised a bonfire, and while roasting the fire, they roasted some pheasants and rabbits that the horse monkey and Cui Fatzi had brought back.
"It's been a long time since I've eaten this game in the mountains, Brother Feng, I think when we were soldiers, we often ate this." The horse monkey ate a mouthful full of oil, and he didn't forget to sigh. "Well, it's delicious" Cui Fatzi's mouth was full at this time, and he couldn't even speak.
"Everyone is full, let's sleep after eating, and go to the grave tomorrow morning." As soon as Yue Feng finished speaking, Dongzi squirted out a mouthful of meat, "Why do you want to go down?" "Hmm" Yuefeng didn't explain anything, just casually agreed, Dongzi glanced at Yuefeng, and didn't mean to explain to him, so he could only shut up.
At night, the four of them lay in the tent, Yue Feng couldn't sleep at all, he had a thought of what he had encountered in the past few days, Di Laohan was a green dragon, he had been using ** smoke on the road to make a few people have an illusion, wanting to scare them away, and when he entered the fierce water, he wanted to scatter them and break them, but he accidentally found that the horse monkey was not afraid of the Gu worm puppet.
Xuanwu and Dongzi look exactly the same, the white tiger who did not show up, and the Japanese team with four combat power and two guides, the four elephant guards and the circulation array of the nine infants, and whether the door of the main tomb dripping with blood has been opened, and whether there are any clues to the ancient family precepts in the tomb, and the Dongzi around him is weird......
It all made him feel connected, but not connected. He looked at Dongzi who was sleeping next to him, and always felt that this person was very strange, and he didn't know whether this was true or false, Yuefeng sat up, and the horse monkey kicked the quilt again, just like when he was a soldier, Yuefeng tucked the quilt horns for him.
Looking at the horse monkey, listening to the rhythmic snoring of Cui Fatzi, Yue Feng felt that he had never been more steady, he looked at the moon very bright, looked at these brothers in front of him, and was even more determined that he wanted to go to the tomb again, one is to find out whether there is a clue to unlock the family secret in the tomb, and the other is a more important purpose, he wants to know if this is really Dongzi.
If it is, he wants to protect them and go back safely, if not, where is Dongzi really and what is the connection between him and this ancient tomb "I hope these people can go back alive" He meditated in his heart for a while, and then meditated.
