Chapter 19: The Tunnel
"Damn! I see that she drank the corpse oil that we poured into the hollow of the tree. Zheng Kaxing looked at the cousin in the courtyard and said in surprise.
I saw that my cousin had completely changed at this time, the purple tendons all over her body were exposed, black lines were swimming under the skin, and her teeth were grinning and her face was hideous. A pair of dark red eyes, revealing hollow brutality. Before I could react to what was going on, I saw the cousin with a hideous face rushing straight towards Xue Jiahao.
"I'll you!"
Seeing this, Xue Jiahao jumped to the side like a little monkey, and when my cousin saw that her food had run away, she immediately turned around and pounced, ignoring the three of us directly. Xue Jiahao jumped back and jumped on the spot, with a small yellow jade sword in his hand, and he pointed at his cousin who turned around with a sword:
"Monkey boy rabbit jump, want to eat boy! Today I'll let you bastard bastard see how the bastard is made!"
After speaking, he stomped his feet and jumped up, raising his sword and rushing towards his cousin who was not far away. In the next second, a big hand directly carried him back from the air.
"Little bunny, now is not the time for you to be a bastard, you are her food now, not her opponent. ”
Zheng Jiaxing put Xue Jiahao on the ground, shook his hand and sacrificed a red and yellow jade sword, only to see that the red and yellow jade lines on the sword body were like two dragons and snakes winched together. Seeing this jade sword, I suddenly remembered the green jade sword in the ancestral hall. Dragged Xue Jiahao beside him.
"Xue Jiahao, where did the green jade sword in my village's ancestral hall go?"
"Ahh
Xue Jiahao said to me in a daze, and continued to watch the battle between Zheng Kaxing and his cousin. I listened to Xue Jiahao's words, but I didn't understand what was going on. I saw that my cousin is now a completely different person, just like a world-famous martial arts master. The agile moves are vicious, and with the baby-like screams, the yin moves emerge one after another, and the strong yin power forces Zheng Kaxing to sometimes retreat step by step.
Naturally, my cousin's body was scratched and pierced many times by Zheng Kaxing's jade sword, but the wound merged by itself in the blink of an eye. It's like an incorruptible body that can't kill her at all. I stood there and watched and muttered to myself, if all this was real, or if my dreams were too real. It's all the braggart of the movies. Now it's really happening in front of me.
At this moment, I saw Zheng Jiaxing suddenly take a few steps back, put his hands behind his back, stood the jade sword behind him, and stood there upright, completely exposing the entire front of his body, without a little defense. Zheng Kaxing's move made even the brutal cousin stunned. Then he screamed and pounced.
"Brother Zheng, what's wrong, isn't this death?"
"There are no changes, and all emptiness is full defense. has been quiet to respond to all changes, and a move to see death. ”
I saw Zheng Kaxing's body move, the sword shadow flashed, and the cousin's head left his neck and rose into the air, and the body continued to pounce forward. Zheng Kaxing jumped up to dodge the headless corpse that pounced, and then flew up and kicked the grinning head into the square outside. Turning around with a sword, he directly split the corpse in half.
This series of movements is coherent and smooth, just right, and I feel comfortable watching it. After my cousin's body was dismembered, it slowly turned into black water and seeped into the ground. Seeing everything in front of me, I was completely convinced that the green jade sword had entered my body. When I went back to the house, I remembered that the green jade sword was in my body, and when I walked, I was afraid of being cut by the sword in my body, so I was very careful and didn't dare to make a big move.
"Are you flashing your waist?" Xue Jiahao asked me strangely when he saw my movements.
"No, I'm afraid that the green jade sword inside me will cut me. ”
"Go! The tiger is afraid of being eaten by monkeys, which kind of heart are you? It's in the Qiankun Palace in your body! Cutting won't hurt you. ”
"Qiankun Palace! What! There is a palace in the human body?"
"No, do you know the Qiankun bag?"
"You know, I've seen it on TV, it's a bag that can hold an infinite number of things. ”
"That Qiankun Palace, everyone has it, that is, the cecum, which is often referred to as the cecum, for ordinary people, it is a fragment and useless, and for people who enter the Xuan Realm, it is the most important existence. ”
In the following time, I couldn't sleep, so Xue Jiahao told me a lot of things about metaphysical cultivation, but they were all about knowing sex. As for those specific cultivation methods, he didn't mention them to me directly. He also said that if you want to cultivate Gu cultivation, you must first cultivate metaphysics, otherwise it would be good to be an ordinary Gu master who can only raise insects, and if you don't get it, you will be eaten by the insects you raise.
When I think of my cousin's scene, I feel that the corpse oil is an evil thing.
Just at dawn, a strange sound came from the circular square of the village. When I came to the gate of the courtyard, I was stunned by the sight in front of me. I saw that the entire square was divided into twelve huge stone rings, staggered and slowly rotated with each other.
Seeing this, the snow fox flew into the middle of the staggered and rotating stone rings, his eyes wide open, and he looked intently at the spinning stone rings under his feet. As he stomped with his feet, the swirling stone rings came to a halt. Just when those stone rings stopped. A rectangular ground that runs through the entire square is more than one meter wide, and it collapses directly, forming a rectangular channel in the north-south direction.
Seeing the appearance of the ditch, the snow fox hurriedly and quickly reversed.
It's incredible that the square is a huge institution. Seeing everything in front of me, thinking of the green jade sword that pierced into my body, thinking of the instant destruction of the people in my village, and everything about that little Taoist aunt Li Lingzi. I felt that all of this was a huge conspiracy that had been manipulated. There must be a huge density in it. The disappearance and death of the villagers should also be part of this conspiracy, and I am just an accidental survivor.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a deep hatred in my heart, and a thought of revenge flashed through my mind. Seeing this monkey Dao Changxue Fox, he seemed to be familiar with everything in the village, even the jade sword in the ancestral hall that had been enshrined for thousands of years, he knew it, and that I didn't mention it. The strangest thing is how he could understand the huge mechanism of this square!
I had a feeling that I was about to enter a cycle that I couldn't have imagined. Maybe the mystery of all this lies in this strange circle. From the bottom of my heart, I have an indescribable special and strong feeling for Snow Fox.
By noon, we were carrying our respective backpacks. Follow the snow fox to the place where the ditch has collapsed. When I got closer, I realized that the ditch was a passage staircase leading to the underground. Now the noon sun is shining right into this passage.
At the end of the bottom of the stairs were two large stone doors made of black stone, more than ten meters high, which were illuminated by the noon sun. The stone door is carved with grotesque, mysterious and strange patterns, and there are some strange shapes and terrifying insects between the patterns, and the bottom carving is the howling of ten thousand ghosts in the eighteenth layer of hell! In the middle is a strange insect that is transforming into a crying baby.
Under the light of the noon sun, the pattern on the stone gate can be seen very clearly. All the human and animal reptiles on it seem to have their eyes closed.
"Babies represent eternal life! It seems that the meaning of this is to turn worms into immortal babies! I don't understand!" Xue Jiahao, who was standing beside me, said to himself.
The snow fox stood in front of the stone gate and looked at the stone gate for a while, only to see him bite his finger open, and with a flick of it, a drop of blood flew into the mouth of the crying baby. Strange to say, as soon as the blood flew into the baby's mouth, I saw that his little mouth immediately closed, and the eyes on his little face opened and turned into a smiling expression.
Thundered!
As the baby's eyes opened, the black stone gate slowly opened, and an ancient aura poured out of the stone cave behind the door. When I entered the stone cave, I found that the black stone door was seven or eight steps thick. With this thickness, ordinary explosives should not be able to explode. When we entered, the stone door closed on its own.
I turned on my headlamp and looked up, and I was startled.
I saw that on the stone face in front of me, there was a tall stone statue of a giant snake, and the head was carved vividly, as if it was about to come to life, and it was about to pounce and bite people. Standing in front of it felt terrible. The three of us shook our headlamps and looked around. But the snow fox was not interested in everything around him at all, and just walked straight ahead.
As I progressed, I found that there were all kinds of insects carved on the cave walls, some of which were familiar, and some of which were strangely shaped, and I didn't know them at all, and I hadn't even seen them in mythological stories. There are also some coherent carved images on the stone walls, as if something was recorded.
Since the snow fox kept walking in front, we didn't have time to see the specific contents of the carved pictures on the stone wall. Looking up and looking ahead, the darkness is like a bottomless pit with no bottom in sight. After we turned a corner, I felt cold and cold around me, and the smell of blood mixed with the air, smelling the blood, and there was a vicious sensation in my throat.
"Let's take a break here, get used to it before we go, don't sit on the ground with a mat on our backpack. Snow Fox stood still and said.
I sat there looking at the pictures and words on the stone wall, and then I noticed that the stone wall of the stone cave was unusually dry, and there was not even a little dampness. This is absolutely impossible in such a deep cave, not to mention that this place should have been sealed off for thousands of years. Before I could continue pondering, I only heard Xue Jiahao say in surprise.
"I'll take it! You see, the pictures carved on this stone wall are all about cultivating Gu cultivation, but I don't know the words of this rounded corner stretching legs. ”
"I don't understand!"
Just as I was talking, I saw the black eye of a person on the stone wall picture moving, and I was so frightened that I took a step back with a scream, and Xue Jiahao stood next to me and was slightly stunned, looking carefully at the eyes of the image.
"Cut! It's a hard-shelled little black bug, so you can't even tell the eye from the bug. There the white is the big one. ”
Xue Jiahao said, blowing the little black worm to the ground, seeing the little worm fall to the ground, I looked down and saw that there seemed to be something dense on the ground. I crouched down and took a closer look, and it was a hard-shelled black bug, and I really couldn't see it if I didn't look closely. The sight of these black insects frightened me and I screamed and jumped up.
Hearing my exclamation, the snow fox glanced at me, his golden eyes looked extraordinarily different under the illumination of the light, giving people a strange feeling.
"It's okay, these are just ordinary bugs, they don't hurt. Snow Fox said lightly.
I didn't go far in the stone cave, the cave in front of me became extremely wide, I looked at this wide cave and took a deep breath, this stone cave is too big! This should be a natural formation, artificial development should be impossible.
In the center of this cave is a huge black stone coffin, who is this coffin, is this stone cave a huge tomb!?
Snow Fox was also surprised when he saw the huge black stone coffin, and then a loud noise suddenly came from inside the coffin, as if something had woken up inside. I was shocked, this can't be a corpse! If a thousand-year-old zombie pops out of this sarcophagus, how terrifying it would be!
At this time, the snow fox's face changed slightly, and his golden eyes revealed a thick murderous aura.
"This thing is still alive, Zheng Kaxing led them first!" Snow Fox looked at the black sarcophagus with his eyes, and said coldly without looking back, as if he knew each other in the sarcophagus.
As we progressed, the temperature in the cave dropped significantly, and the air around it became more and more cloudy and thick, to the point where it felt like it was about to suffocate. At this time, on the wall of the cave in front, under the illumination of the headlight line, dense colorful highlights appeared, and the entire cave became instantly brighter.
I'll it!
It was some colorful and finely polished bright gemstones, densely inlaid on the stone wall of the cave, with the movement of the head light, reflecting the ever-changing fantasy light, like entering a dream world. If this is an underground tomb, it seems that the front of this passage is the main chamber of the tomb owner, and the black stone coffin in front of it is only a gatekeeper.
The number of gems inlaid in this cave alone is staggering enough. The gold, silver, and jewels in the tomb must have been massive. It seems that this monkey snow fox should have come to rob the tomb.
The three of us stood there staring blankly at everything in front of us. I gently stroked a gem on the stone wall in front of me with my fingers. The smooth, extremely comfortable touch comes from the fingertips. Just as I was enjoying the beauty of the gem, it suddenly broke. Before I could react to what was happening, a black beetle sprang out of the cracked gem and crawled down my fingers, quickly crawling onto the back of my hand, and plunging into my skin.
A sharp pain point that pierces the heart, starting from the back of the hand and moving up the arm.
"Ahh
"What's going on!"
Zheng Kaxing grabbed my arm, quickly pulled out the dagger, and directly cut my sleeve. Underneath the skin on my arm, a thumb-sized far point moved forward rapidly, dragging a wide line of blood behind me.
"Tomb millennium beetle!"
Looking at the fast-moving dot under the skin, Zheng Kaxing exclaimed in surprise, and he immediately made a horizontal cut on the skin in front of the dot. When the dot moved there, I saw Zheng Kaxing slap me under the arm, and a black beetle flew out of the wound and landed on the ground. Zheng Kaxing stomped on it with one kick.
Zheng Kaxing squeezed out the bruise from under the skin on my arm, then treated my wound and quickly wrapped my arm in a bandage. It may be the reason why I was bleeding, but I saw that the gems on the stone wall of the cave in front of me began to crack, and the black beetles that fell to the ground began to move towards us rapidly.
"Damn, we're going to finish the game!" Xue Jiahao said as he looked at the black crushed beetles on the ground.
Seeing this, Zheng Kaixing hurriedly took out a porcelain bottle and sprinkled some yellow powder on the ground. When the beetles saw the yellow powder, they immediately stopped and moved forward, but the ones behind had already climbed up the stone walls on both sides, and crawled towards us from both sides. At that moment, a figure flashed from behind.
"Get into this hole!"
I saw the snow fox standing behind us, pointing to a cave next to us. I saw that the entrance of the cave was not too big, and it was opened diagonally in the direction of forward. Walking along the cave road, due to the relative concealment of the carved pictures on the stone wall, you will not be able to see the cave entrance at all if you don't look back.
The clothes on the snow fox's body were already tattered, and there were several large holes. The hand holding the blue jade sword was also a little trembling, it seemed that he should have experienced a fierce and cruel battle just now.
Entering the cave, there was a cave in front of him, and when he entered the cave, the snow fox immediately lit the braziers on both sides of the entrance of the cave, and as soon as the brazier was lit, he saw that the beetles behind him immediately retreated. In the middle of the stone room was a stone table, and we sat wearily on the stone benches around it.
Snow Fox's clothes were in tatters, but there was not a single wound or scar on his body. It seems that he, like my cousin, healed on his own after being injured.
Now, I'm kind of a believer in the existence of myths. Because I've seen something called legendary.
"Are you okay?" asked Zheng Kaxing to Snow Fox with concern.
"It's okay! I'm just a little tired, just rest for a while. The power of this world that can destroy me has not yet been born!"
After Snow Fox finished speaking, he sat cross-legged to the side and began to close his eyes and recuperate. Xue Jiahao was just about to speak, when he saw the master who was recuperating with his eyes closed on the side, he held back his words. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zheng Kaxing was glued with super tape by my sleeves layer by layer. By the way, I reworked the wound again. Fortunately, the beetle in the burial chamber only eats people and does not disperse poison, otherwise I would have been miserable by now.
While we were resting, Zheng Jiaxing actually went back again, caught some beetles and came back, and put them in a few porcelain bottles.
"Damn, you muscle, what are you going to do when you catch these pests!" Xue Jiahao whispered when he saw it.
"This is a treasure that can't be found directly outside, and it's the innate nemesis of the physical Gu insect evil thing. ”
"Well, if only there were a Qiankun bottle, put everything back in the hole. Muscle mass, give me a bottle!"
"Brother Zheng, there are tomb beetles here, this won't be a big grave!"
