The Dark Ages Chapter Seventy-Six: The Dragon's Strike
Just when I excitedly thought that I could stay on the top of the cliff and wait for everyone to enter the tomb, I would be able to take the opportunity to escape, the old man in Mai waved his hand and said decisively: "Go, all go in, share the joys and sorrows, and leave no one behind!" ”
This old man doesn't trust anyone, so I'll just stop it, because he has already sensed what I think in my heart, and as for Yang Xiaolazy, it is estimated that he was also instructed by him to keep an eye on me, so this is why it is like this.
Although Di Baotian was a little surprised, but this trip, after all, was mainly based on the old man in Mai, so he didn't say much, just pulled out a bundle of hemp rope from his waist, tied it on a sturdy cedar tree nearby, and then began to put it down, and then the whole person went down, and after a while, a voice came from below, saying Okay, come down.
These words were very low, and suddenly a night owl flew out of the forest behind us, I don't know if it was a crow or an owl, and its fluttering wings made a "hulala" wind sound, and the eyes of the old man in Mai instantly became very sharp, and he looked back carefully, and was silent for a long time.
The atmosphere suddenly became very tense, Yang Xiaolan was a little scared, pulled her father's sleeve and asked, "Dad, what's wrong with you?" ”
The old man in Mai's eyes followed the bird into the night sky, and then he came back to his senses, licked his lips, shook his head and said it was okay, at this time the earth below was already waiting impatiently, pulled the rope, and urged again, and then the old man Mai didn't pay attention to it anymore, but asked me to go down first. I didn't dare to disobey, so I pulled the hemp rope and began to slide down. It was a long distance, and I might have been frightened before, but now it was very smooth, and in a short time I stopped at an open place in the middle of the middle, and saw Di Baotian tugging at the rope, and holding a bronze lamp in his hand, which emitted a dim light.
It was this light that guided me down the way, I was a little curious, and asked Di Baotian: "Uncle Wang, what is this thing called, it looks so interesting?" ”
Along the way, Di Baotian didn't communicate with me much, hearing me ask like this, he looked at me suspiciously, probably because he didn't quite understand the relationship between me and the old man in Mai, but he didn't slack off, but carefully explained to me: "This lamp is an old object in our business, called the yin and yang lamp, the lamp oil is boiled with the womb of the cow who gave birth, and the design is also clever, you can feel the dirty things you don't know, once there is, the lamp will flicker endlessly, as a reminder......"
With that, he threw the bronze lamp forward, and the thing did not fall, but floated leisurely, illuminating the huge platform opening.
Seeing his hand, I estimated that what Yang Xiaolan said just now was not a lie, and I was in awe in my heart, so I didn't ask again. Di Baotian was surprised when he saw me, and estimated that I was also a disciple who had just been accepted and had no ability, so he no longer paid attention to me, but began to answer Yang Xiaolazy.
No one paid attention to me, I was happy to be idle, by this faint light, look inside, see that there is a weathered gap outside, there are some bushes and wild trees next to it, but go a little inside, you can see a soil hole, very small, but enough to accommodate a person to climb into, and this cliff is not high, down more than ten meters, is a few small pools, not big, look down at the night, there is light and swaying. I looked, and after a while, Yang Xiao was lazy, and then the old man in Mai came down with the big man, and the earth baotian shook the hemp rope, and then hid it in the vines, and explained to the old man in Mai: "It's a road to go up, and if it doesn't work, it's okay to jump from here to there, and go down the valley along the slope." ”
The old man in Mai nodded, and then asked, "Understood, you've read your father's notes, you should know how to enter, right?" ”
Di Baotian became excited all of a sudden, his face suddenly turned a little red, and he said word by word: "My father was miserable by this Nanming tomb, and I have been knocking on the side since I was sensible, just to uncover the mystery of this ancient tomb, so that my father can live like a normal person." The ancient tomb is dangerous, before entering, I will tell you about the situation here - this tomb was built by the helmsman of the Chu Nan branch of the Nan Ming Lotus Sect, according to the secret records that have been handed down, it is divided into three layers in total, when my father and they entered the second layer, and then they turned around, and the real secret, in the third layer, only by entering there, all the mysteries can be uncovered ^"
I thought to myself that this man's father was a digger of other people's graves, no wonder he would suffer that sin, but think about it, in fact, he is still quite filial, otherwise it would be so dangerous here, even his father has been blocking it, but he came without hesitation, but he is really a man, the same as my second brother.
Di Baotian took a twig and began to draw us a topographical map of the inside, and I looked at it diligently, wondering if anything was wrong, I turned back the way I came, and then quickly slipped away.
After explaining this, Di Baotian stood up, took a deep breath, and said, "Everyone, is it clear?" ”
We all nodded, and then rubbed our hands, and Di Baotian explained some precautions for entering the room, and then clapped his hands and shouted loudly: "The mountain has been opened, the ground has been broken, the ancestor blesses, the land immortals, we have no way to live, give us food." After he finished comforting himself, the bronze lamp next to him floated leisurely towards the earthen cave beside him, and the old man in Mai glanced back at me, and recited a mantra in his mouth, and the big man moved, and made up for the second position, and then he followed. I didn't move, but Yang Xiaolazy kicked me in the ass and shouted, "Let's go, why are you staying here?" Waiting for death? ”
Yang Xiaolazy said fiercely, I knew that my position was fourth, and her responsibility was to monitor me.
I stopped talking, and followed the old man in sack, and went into the little hole. It was a soil hole dug out by hand, big enough for a strong man to go in and out, the soil on both sides was relatively dry, obviously some time, I buried my head to climb, crawled dozens of meters, did not reach the end, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, this hole was dug by his father? How much work does this cost, Tianjiaba built the dam that time, if they can be invited, it will not be so difficult.
My thoughts drifted like this, we had reached the end of the earth cave, and there was a sudden pause in front of us, because there were three people in the distance, so I didn't see it, and I waited for a few more minutes, and then I started to move again, so I continued to crawl forward, and suddenly the front was empty, and I saw that we had come into a fairly spacious space.
I arrived late, and four candles had already been lit here in front of Bao Tian, placed at the four corners of the south, east, west, and north.
This candle is placed very carefully, not the four corners of the room, but carefully calculated with a compass, placed in the four directions of due east, due west, due south, and due north, without a trace of offset, and I also saw a pile of bones next to it, looking at the skull, there are four, but the bones seem to be more, and then I understand why it was blocked just now. This thing looks weird and scary, and I'm going to have to scream before I put it aside, but after brushing the old man Mai's bunch of zombies with human oil for half a year, I'm immune to it.
There is nothing in this room where we are, it is a dirt room, some fragments, it is estimated that it was also taken away by the ex, there is a gap next to it, it is a tunnel, the earth is walking towards it, while walking, he said: "This tunnel is very dangerous, traps everywhere, when my father filled in four lives, only to reach the second layer, so many years have passed, I don't know if there will be any changes or omissions, everyone be careful." ”
No one answered, this narrow Yongdao crossing, in the front was the yin and yang lamp, flickering and flickering, and we walked carefully in the back, walked for a while, and came to a space, which was more than twice the size of the outside, and there were many bits and pieces, tables, chairs and beds, all lacquerware, and the bright red color did not dim with time.
In the middle, there is a coffin, made of heavy obsidian, which grows directly from the ground and is more than two meters high.
Other than that, there is no channel.
The old man in sackcloth frowned and asked where was the third floor? Di Baotian took a deep breath as he pointed to the obsidian sarcophagus and said, "If the record is correct, it should be here." ”
