The sudden change made Chen Ziyang unable to close his jaw in surprise.

"What does that mean? How did this statue open after nine kowtows? What's inside the stone box? Is it a martial arts cheat? How is this exactly the same as what is written in martial arts? ”

Although Chen Ziyang was now full of doubts, he walked to the front of the statue without stopping for a moment, and stretched out his hand to bring out the stone box.

After all, there is not much oxygen left in this space, and it is not known how long it can last, and now it is the most urgent task to seize the time to find an exit.

Chen Ziyang is not worried about what mechanisms will be on this box, judging from the various situations that have entered here, maybe all these mechanisms are designed for the stone box in front of him, since the box has appeared, then the people who designed it here will not be embarrassed by the people who get the stone box.

This stone box feels very heavy and textured. The surface of the stone box seems to be carved with some patterns, but the gaps in these patterns are all filled with dust.

Ignoring the patterns carved on the surface of the stone box, Chen Ziyang turned the box over and over in his hand several times, but he didn't find any gaps in the stone box.

"That's weird, how should this box be opened? Shall I throw it on the ground and break it? After thinking for a while, Chen Ziyang shook his head, he felt that this method was not feasible.

Usually some boxes containing treasures will have some mechanisms embedded in them, if they are destroyed from the outside, it is very likely to directly damage the contents of the box, and even may touch the mechanism in the box and cause injury to the life of the person who destroys the box, so he thinks it is better to find a way to open the box.

At this time, he found that as he kept flipping, some of the dust embedded in the surface pattern of this stone box had fallen off, and vaguely, Chen Ziyang saw that there seemed to be some Chinese characters engraved on one side of this stone box.

However, there is still some dust in the cracks of these Chinese characters, and it may be because of the age, this dust has filled the gaps so dead that there is no way to remove them by shaking alone.

Chen Ziyang hurriedly took out a piece of fur from the pile of fur next to him, and then wiped it vigorously on the surface of the stone box. Gradually, there was less and less dust in the gaps of the Chinese characters, and these Chinese characters slowly became clearer.

By the light of the flashlight, Chen Ziyang saw that although these Chinese characters were traditional characters, they could generally be understood, after all, the Chinese characters in the Tang Dynasty were already very standardized, and they were not much different from the later traditional characters, and it was very coincidental that because of the relationship between reading the "Civil Engineering Collection", his traditional Chinese character level was still very high.

"Those who get into this secret room will have the opportunity to get in;

Those who prostrate to the face and deity are morally strengthened;

Those who have chance and morality,

Open the treasure box with the blood of the Dao. ”

Seeing these words engraved on the surface of the stone box, Chen Ziyang understood, it is estimated that his previous conjecture was correct, each bifurcation in his own sliding passage may be connected to a different room, and only the path he chooses will reach here, and the other rooms are not killing moves, and the people who enter other rooms may be more than lucky.

Fortunately, I was moved by the sadness emanating from this statue, and kowtowed nine times in front of the statue, otherwise I would have taken the liberty of going up to check the statue, and it might trigger other mechanisms, and maybe I would be in a different place at that time.

Thinking of this, Chen Ziyang admired the carver of this statue, this is really a miracle, it is not an ordinary stonemason to integrate this feeling of silence full of vicissitudes into the statue, but fortunately this person has such ability, otherwise he would not kowtow to the statue, maybe he will miss this opportunity.

But what does this last sentence mean? It seems that the person who opens the treasure box can only use the blood of the Dao Law, what is the blood of the Dao Law? Chen Ziyang had an idea in his heart, Yuan Tiangang is a Taoist person, although it is not determined which branch of Taoism he belongs to, but he is also a Taoist person after all.

It seems that this thing he left behind can only be opened by the children of Taoism. Thinking of this, Chen Ziyang poured mana into his middle finger, and then he bit the tip of his finger and dripped the blood of his middle finger containing mana onto the box.

After drops of blood dripped on the box, Chen Ziyang was surprised to find that the blood was sucked into the box, and there was not even a trace on the surface of the box.

A "click" sound came from the side of the box, and Chen Ziyang saw a small piece pop up on the side of the box. Holding the ejected piece between his fingers, he pulled out a small stone box from the box, and something like a cloth roll lay quietly in the box.

It seems that Zhang Taixu and Wang Dingqian, who entered here before, did not enter this secret room, otherwise the contents of the box should have been taken away by the two of them a long time ago. In this way, I really got lucky.

Without the slightest hesitation, Chen Ziyang took out this thing that looked like a cloth roll from the box.

The feeling of this cloth roll is very strange, it does not feel like paper, nor does it look like cloth or silk. The roll of cloth was softer to the touch than paper, but stiffer than silk, and felt a bit like a piece of fabric that had been soaked in grease for many years.

Perhaps because of its age, this cloth roll looks yellow and a little black. After unfolding the cloth roll, Chen Ziyang found that there were some things drawn on the cloth roll with black lines, but these lines did not look very clear against the blackened fabric.

Then he put the flashlight on the ground and held the piece of cloth directly above the flashlight, and with the bright beam of the flashlight, the things drawn on the cloth were much clearer. To Chen Ziyang's surprise, there was not even a word on the cloth, but a map.

Although he couldn't see what this map was drawing for the time being, Chen Ziyang knew that this map had nothing to do with his leaving this secret room, so he put the map away.

Through this series of things, Chen Ziyang knew that the things recorded in this map must be very important, but now is not the time to study this map, his first priority now is to find a way to get out of this secret room, not to be suffocated here, otherwise even if it is a precious thing, it will have no meaning.

The only thing left in the chamber, except for the mountain of fur, was the statue that had opened its chest. Chen Ziyang estimated that the mechanism he left was still on this statue, so he took two steps forward and prepared to search the statue.

Stepping to the front of the statue, Chen Ziyang took a closer look and found that the two eyes of the statue were not directly carved on the statue, but embedded with two black gem-like things.

At this moment, the still statue suddenly turned an angle to the right, and then the two black gems embedded in the eye socket of the statue were bounced out, and the two gems that were previously used as the statue's eyes hit a black stone slab at the same time, and with the impact of the two black gems, the black stone slab that was hit slowly rose, revealing a pitch-black hole.

A gust of cold wind blew into the secret room from the entrance of the cave, and instantly blew up a large amount of dust, at this time, Chen Ziyang actually felt that his breath was a little more transparent, it seemed that the oxygen content in the secret room had increased, so that means that this passage must be connected to the outside, at least to a space that is not short of oxygen.

"Haha, sure enough, my life should not be extinguished, I knew that there must be life here, and a way out was found." Before Chen Ziyang could be happy enough, he suddenly felt that the entire secret room seemed to shake.

A trembling feeling came from under his feet, Chen Ziyang felt that he was a little unstable, and then he found that the top of the entire secret room was slowly pressing, and it seemed that if he didn't leave here quickly, he would be directly pressed into meat sauce.

After bowing to the statue, Chen Ziyang hurriedly ran to the side of the cave and got in.

Chen Ziyang, who had just crawled a few meters in this passage, heard a clattering sound from behind him, he estimated that the top of the secret room had collapsed the statue of Yuan Tiangang, even if he didn't have to look back, he knew that this passage had been sealed, and the only way left was forward.

The passage is not very long, and by the light of the flashlight in his hand, Chen Ziyang saw that there was a stone wall not far away, and there seemed to be a relatively small space between the passage and the wall.

After emerging from this passage, he found himself in a passage that resembled a tombway, but it was much narrower than the one they had walked before.

Turning on the communicator on his body, Chen Ziyang shouted at the communicator for a long time, but he didn't get any answer at all except for the noise of electricity, it seems that the nearby stone wall blocked the signal of the communication repeater, and the liaison was temporarily useless.

After shining a flashlight on the left and right sides, Chen Ziyang found that although the tomb road was narrower, it was very long, and the flashlight that could illuminate more than 100 meters did not reach the end on the left and right sides at all, and he did not see any other forks.

"Which way should I go?" Chen Ziyang hesitated in his heart, but then he was relieved. This Taoist holy land is really his blessed land, not to mention solving a lot of puzzles one after another, and now he has obtained the treasure left by Yuan Tiangang.

From this point of view, just like what Yuan Tiangang said on the stone box, he has an opportunity. Thinking of this, he turned and walked to the right.

After walking along the long tomb road for a while, Chen Ziyang still didn't see the end of the tomb road, and he still didn't see where the tomb road forked. Just as he was hesitating to search in a different direction, suddenly there was the sound of stones grinding against the wall beside him.

On one side wall of the passage, several stone bricks were slowly moving downward, revealing a one-meter-square opening, and a dark shadow was wriggling in the passage behind the entrance.

Chen Ziyang lifted the Xuanming Ancient Sword on his chest, and at the same time shone it into the passage with a flashlight, only to find that the black shadow that was wriggling in the passage was a person who was crawling forward.

Seeing that there was light shining on him, the person in the passage also raised his head, although because of the relationship between the flashlight, the person in the passage couldn't see Chen Ziyang on the opposite side clearly, but Chen Ziyang saw that the person who was crawling in the passage was the Daogu of Elimination.

This feeling of meeting a living person in the Jedi, and meeting someone he was familiar with, instantly made Chen Ziyang overjoyed, and he hurriedly stretched out his hand to Xu Xiaoyuan, and at the same time removed the flashlight.

"Aunt Dao, it's me, Chen Ziyang."

Hearing Chen Ziyang's words, Xu Xiaoyuan let out a sigh of relief, and after she rubbed her eyes that were a little astringent from the flashlight, she reached out and grabbed Chen Ziyang's outstretched hand.

The two of them talked briefly for a while, and it turned out that Xu Xiaoyuan also fell into a passage full of smooth black stone slabs on all sides, but it was obvious that the passage she fell into was not the one that Chen Ziyang fell into, because the passage that Xu Xiaoyuan fell into did not fork, and she slipped directly into another secret room.

The inside of that secret room was also covered with moldy fur, but Xu Xiaoyuan's situation was much better than Chen Ziyang's, she was not knocked out, but used the oxygen in her oxygen cylinder to persist for a long time, and skillfully solved the puzzle in the secret room, and then opened this escape channel.

Chen Ziyang also briefly told Xu Xiaoyuan about his experience, but he hid the fact that he got the things in the statue of Yuan Tiangang. After all, this matter is not very clear, and Chen Ziyang feels that the map hidden in the statue has nothing to do with cracking the Taoist Holy Land, so he doesn't want too many people to know about it for the time being.

Although Xu Xiaoyuan's narration is uneventful, judging from some of the wounds on her body and the tragic state of her unkempt, Chen Ziyang estimates that Xu Xiaoyuan's experience is much more dangerous than what she told herself.

Now Chen Ziyang admires the woman in front of him even more. It's not simple, it's really not simple. was able to escape from the secret room alive, Xu Xiaoyuan is already very admirable.

"Have you met anyone else? What do we do next? After being simply bandaged by Chen Ziyang, Xu Xiaoyuan opened his mouth and asked.

"You're the first person I've met since I got here, but I think since both of us can survive, they're all about the same, after all, the people who were standing on the wooden raft at that time were all good hands, I think the two of us should go in this direction first, and maybe we'll meet other people."

After Xu Xiaoyuan nodded in agreement, the two of them continued to walk forward side by side along the passage.
