Chapter 462: The Endless Graveyard
"How's that, boys, did you see it this time? Entering the ancient tomb is not careless at all, careless, it is a matter of losing your head. Old Gu looked back at us, and probed a few of the floor tiles inside the door again with a half-cut metal staff, and then raised his foot, stepped over the guillotine, and walked in.
"I, my mother, this, this thing is too cruel." The blind man swallowed saliva with palpitations, and his bearded face was full of fear.
"So you can't mess around. I'm second, Jing'er is third, blind man, take care of Jing'er. After saying that, I carried my bag and followed Lao Gu into the tomb.
Lao Gu walked very cautiously in the tomb passage, and every step would be probed with a metal rod before taking a step. In just a dozen meters of tombs, two flap traps were found, and a trap with spears piercing out of the wall.
"Professor Gu, there are so many organs in this tomb, since I came in, there have been four deadly organs, didn't you say before that this is a mausoleum built for Ran Min spontaneously by folk craftsmen and people? How can there be so many mechanisms? Jing'er used her instinct to be a curious baby and asked questions to Lao Gu.
"It's not surprising, it's because it's spontaneous, so the craftsmen are more careful, they design these mechanisms, to deal with not only the tomb robbers who may come in, but also, those who may come to destroy the mausoleum, you know, the worship of Ran Tianwang at that time, is definitely forbidden by the leased rulers, once they know that there is the tomb of Ran Tianwang, they will inevitably send someone to destroy it. So it's not unusual how many mechanisms there are, and if you want to leave now, it's still too late. "It was already a turn at the end of the tomb road ahead, and Old Gu stopped and motioned for us not to go any further. After knocking on the top, the ground, and the wall with a metal rod for a long time, nothing happened, and then he took the lead and walked up.
Just when Lao Gu stood on the floor tile at the corner, there was a sudden "ah" exclamation behind him, I hurriedly looked back, Jing'er was still following me, but the blind man was gone!
"Jing'er, where is the blind man?" I looked in amazement at the place where the blind man had just stood, hoping to find some answers from Jing'er.
"I, I don't know." Jing'er said with an innocent face, "I was also watching Professor Gu probe the road in front of me just now, but as a result, Brother Zhang Qin shouted behind him, and there was no one." ”
"What? That bearded kid is gone? Lao Gu was also very surprised to see the place where the blind man disappeared, and walked back from the corner, and the metal staff knocked around on the floor tiles, trying to find the place where the blind man fell. It's strange, I obviously explored the way here, and there was no problem, why did I get hit? ”
"Professor Gu, I think it might be a scorpion pit." Jing'er said suddenly.
"Scorpion pit? Are you saying I stepped on the brick around the corner, and the back piece suddenly opened? Lao Gu frowned, walked back to the corner of the floor tile, and stomped a few hard, but there was no reaction on the ground behind us, but it was above Lao Gu's head, and a stone cone fell from it, but fortunately, I was quick and pulled Lao Gu out of there, so that he was not pierced by the stone cone.
"It's so poisonous, it's so poisonous." Lao Gu looked at the stone cone that was smashed into several knots on the ground, and kept patting his heart, "First create a scorpion pit that can only be triggered by a normal person's weight, and it is a one-time one, and then create a stone cone trap that can only be triggered by a slightly heavier weight of a normal person, if it weren't for Xiao Shen's quick hand, just this one mechanism would be able to kill the two of us." ”
What I'm worried about now is not that, my hand pressed on the small porcelain vase, and took out the hook halberd, although I also respect Ran Tianwang, but my brother is trapped in it, for me, my brother's life is more important than respect for Ran Tianwang.
Lao Gu raised his hand, as if he wanted to stop me, but in the end he didn't say anything, after all, human life is at stake.
Just when I wanted to use the hook halberd to forcibly smash the floor tiles under my feet, a translucent figure suddenly appeared from the floor tiles, and the sudden figure made me take a step back immediately, and the word "ghost" came out of Lao Gu's mouth.
"Taishang Laojun taught me to kill ghosts, and I am a god!" The narrow passage of the tomb had no space for me to jump, but I still recited the ghost killing spell at the first time.
"Wait, wait, don't do it, don't do it!" The ghost that emerged from under the tiles was a beautiful young woman, but when it opened its mouth to speak, it spat out a man's voice, and it was a very familiar man's voice.
"Are you...... Blind? I asked uncertainly.
"It's me, it's me, toad, don't make such a fuss, it's been a few months, and I'm not in vain in Nanshan, only allow you to make progress, not me, this is my ghost servant, I'm communicating with you through her." It was the blind man who spoke, which made all three of us breathe a sigh of relief, and the blind man could send the ghost servant to come up and talk to us, which means that although he fell, he did not die.
"Blind, you're all right."
"It's okay, it's just that it suddenly fell and was startled. There are no knives or guns down here, it's also a tomb road, I tried, but I couldn't open the ceiling above my head, or else, you go yours, I'll walk mine from below. Perhaps, somewhere, we can still meet. The blind man's words were full of heartless optimism, and I looked at Lao Gu, only to find that he had been so frightened by this eloquent female ghost that he could not speak.
"Professor Gu." Jing'er stabbed Lao Gu with her fingers, and he returned to his soul. "Hey, there are really strange people in this world, before Lao Chen told me that you are all strange people, I still didn't believe it, but now it seems that it can't be done if you don't believe it." Lao Gu, who was born in a family of tomb robbers, is much stronger than ordinary people to accept these strange things. "What, little brother Zhang Qin, since you can control the ghosts, then you can go down there, remember to let your ghosts open the way for you, the legendary ghosts can pass through the wall, if you can find the location of various organs or something, maybe your side is safer than ours."
"Received, then this is the trick, I'll go inside first, if I can't find a way out in the end, I'll come back here, you have to remember to smash the stone on it and save me out." After speaking, the female ghost's figure gradually disappeared under the floor and disappeared. Hey, it's a vain worry, maybe the blind are in a better situation than we are.
Following Lao Gu, who barely recovered from the shock, turned the corner, but was surprised to find that the road was surprisingly good all the way. It is another tomb road of more than ten meters, and the tomb road is still inclined downward. Old Gu used a metal staff to reach the end of the tomb, but he didn't find a single mechanism. Then, it was another corner, this time the corner, after turning the corner, the tomb road became parallel, and there was still no mechanism, and then we turned two more upward tomb roads, and we came to a parallel tomb road entrance.
"Professor Gu, this tomb can't be just the few mechanisms at the entrance of the tomb to scare people. I always felt a little strange that I didn't even have a mechanism along the way. "Jing'er is also the first time to really enter the ancient tomb that has not been excavated, and she was still very nervous at first, but as the clean tomb roads came over, Jing'er's nerves gradually relaxed.
"I don't ...... either," the old man had not finished speaking, and with the striking of the metal staff, a guillotine identical to the doorway fell from the top of the tomb, and the poor metal staff was cut off again. All three of us broke out in a cold sweat from the surprise attack. Sure enough, in the ancient tomb, there can be no slackness, maybe this mechanism is specially prepared for us who are gradually slackening.
The nerves tensed again, but when this section of the grave road came down, there was only that one mechanism, and I went to it, am I playing with us?
Turning this parallel cemetery, what appeared in front of me was actually a slightly downward inclined cemetery. We kept on high alert along the way, and kept moving through the graveyards until we walked about thirty or so graveyards, and I finally felt that something was wrong. Along the way, except for the tomb road or the tomb road, this is not scientific, any mausoleum, it is impossible to have nothing but the tomb road that keeps turning, and I found that we do not seem to be moving in a straight line, but in circles, once parallel, twice down, again parallel, then twice up, then parallel, and then twice down...... Could it be that the three of us are just going around in circles in a hexagonal closed tomb!?
No, just at the first bend, there was a stone cone falling from the sky, if we were circling around, we should have found the broken stone cone when we made the second turn, why haven't we seen it until now?
"Stop." I beckoned Professor Gu and Jing'er to stop and tell them what I was thinking, Professor Gu and Jing'er obviously noticed that there was a problem, and Jing'er suggested that I use a hook halberd to carve a mark on the wall, but Professor Gu said no, as long as we reached the corner of the first descending cemetery, we knew if we were going in circles.
In this way, we walked two more graveyards and came to the corner of the descending graveyard. Lao Gu waved his hand to signal us to stop, then squatted in front of the floor tile in the corner, and looked at the floor tile carefully with a wolf's eye flashlight, "That's right, we are going in circles, you see, here, and here, there are a few white dots, which should be smashed out of the stone cone just now." Professor Gu said, looking back at the end of the tomb behind us, if the place where he was squatting was that corner, shouldn't the place at the end of us be the tomb door? But now it is only a stone wall, and there is no tomb door at all.
With a "bang", Lao Gu suddenly pulled out a snowy dagger from his boots, "Pay attention, in this tomb, in addition to the three of us, there is a fourth person!" ”
