Chapter 151: Step over from the Ten Thousand Graves
Something isn't quite right?
Xu Tianchuan only cared about thinking about the unsolved mysteries trapped in his heart along the way, and the more he thought about it, the more he became fascinated, especially thinking about the connection between the coffin of the Immortal Slave King and the King of Qin Huan, so he ignored the situation on both sides.
Suddenly hearing Jiao San say this, Xu Tianchuan immediately stopped, came back to his senses and looked at both sides.
At this time, the two of them had reached the crack in the underground canyon, and the further they went, the wider it became, the same as when they came, just go to a three-way crossing, then turn southwest direction, and then go straight to the location of the White Bone Temple.
Walking along the White Bone Temple, Xu Tianchuan deliberately marked the place where he went up, and the big pit that the undead slave king fell from above and smashed out can also be used as a mark.
Xu Tianchuan has completely memorized the route he came to, and it is no exaggeration to say that he will not make a mistake even if he closes his eyes.
Although this underground canyon is tortuous, there is only one road, and there is only one right-angle turn in the whole process.
"San'er, what's wrong?"
Xu Tianchuan stopped, subconsciously raised his eyebrows, looked at Jiao San and asked seriously.
"Shopkeeper Xu, I remember...... We encountered a three-way crossing, and then you chose to walk this way according to the gossip symbol engraved on the stone wall on the left, and then you directly saw the group graves below, but I feel that we haven't walked this road for so long, so it stands to reason that we should see the three-way crossing? ”
Jiao San frowned, his expression looked a little solemn and serious, and this did give Xu Tianchuan a wake-up call.
But because Xu Tianchuan was distracted just now, he couldn't be sure how far he had traveled now.
However, there is only one path in this underground canyon crack, and there is also a mark made by King Qin Huan with gossip symbols, so it will definitely not be wrong.
"San'er, don't be so nervous, the road will definitely not change, it should not have arrived yet."
Xu Tianchuan said lightly.
But just in case, Xu Tianchuan still made an obvious mark on the stone wall next to him, and then continued to take the lead and walked forward, Jiao San followed closely behind with a miner's lamp.
This time, Xu Tianchuan was engrossed and focused all his attention on the canyon crack.
Regarding the whereabouts of the Immortal Slave King and the real location of King Qin Huan's coffin, let these become complete unsolved mysteries.
Anyway, I've got everything I wanted.
Even if he was a little curious in his heart, Xu Tianchuan wanted to decrypt it again.
The most important thing is that the system storage space can't be fitted, so why do you want to do this?
But after walking a short distance, the scene in front of him directly made Xu Tianchuan dumbfounded.
Even Jiao San behind him was completely dumbfounded with a miner's lamp in his hand, illuminating the road in front of him.
I saw an almost right-angled turn in front of me, turning to the left-hand side.
There is only one right-angle turn, not a three-way road, which means that there is no other way back!
It's really gone!
Xu Tianchuan hurriedly rushed over to see what was going on.
On the left stone wall of this right-angled turn are carved the symbols of the Eight Trigrams, and on the right are carved three curved vertical lines.
With these two symbols on both sides of the stone wall alone, Xu Tianchuan can be 100% sure that this is the original three-way road.
The stone wall on the right is marked by three curved vertical lines, which Xu Tianchuan thought were not part of the tomb, so he chose the left side marked by the Bagua symbol.
But when I turned around and came back, the road I came from was completely gone, and it became a sealed stone wall, and the three-way road became a right-angle turn, missing a road from which I came!
"There are ghosts! There's a ghost! ”
Looking at the disappearing road in front of him, Xu Tianchuan felt his scalp tingle, and at the same time had an extremely ominous premonition in his heart.
How could the way you came just disappear?
It doesn't make sense at all!
"Could it be that you have encountered a ghost hitting the wall again?"
"Or is it an illusion?"
Xu Tianchuan frowned, stretched out his hand and touched the stone wall that the road had turned into when he came, there was nothing unusual at all, as if it was just a few hours after leaving, and when he came back, the geology here had undergone tremendous changes.
"Shopkeeper Xu, we shouldn't have encountered a ghost hitting the wall again, right?"
Jiao San also saw the treacherousness, and the expression on his face was also solemn.
Xu Tianchuan shook his head and vetoed Jiao San's speculation.
If you really encounter a ghost hitting the wall, it should be a constant detour in place, which is obviously not the case.
"Nope! It's not a ghost hitting the wall! It's a ghost covering your eyes! ”
Xu Tianchuan shook his head and said in a serious tone.
"What? Ghost Blinding? ”
Jiao San was instantly shocked, and subconsciously rubbed his eyes, stared at his eyes to the maximum, and looked around again.
Jiao San's understanding of 'ghost blinding' is an illusion, so try to keep yourself clear-headed.
"Don't look at it, everything here is real, we met the ghost when we came, but because we didn't have any precautions when we came, we didn't notice it at all! The three-way road we saw when we came was actually the illusion of a ghost, in fact, there was no three-way road at all, only such a right-angle detour in front of us! ”
Xu Tianchuan's eyes were full of wisdom.
In addition, Xu Tianchuan guessed that the special marks engraved on the stone wall on the right that were different from the directions of the gossip must also have a direct relationship with this.
"Shopkeeper Xu, if we are really the ghost who blinded us when we came, and mistakenly saw this right-angle turn as a three-way road, then according to your meaning, just keep moving forward?"
Jiao San looked at the crack in the canyon to the right again, and there was always an indescribable feeling in his heart, feeling very strange, as if he hadn't walked here at all when he came.
"Nope! We didn't walk here when we came, there were other places! But it's going to be a bit difficult to find the way you came......"
Xu Tianchuan frowned deeply, his expression solemn.
This is the 'ghost blinding'.
In fact, 'ghost occult eyes' is just a noun, which can be divided into many situations, the most common is being tricked by illusion, or even the brain has a 'short circuit' and is dazzled for a while, which can also be called 'ghost occult eyes'.
There is also a situation that Xu Tianchuan experienced, the road when he came was different from the way back, which was mainly because of special geographical reasons, standing from different angles, seeing things that were completely different.
Therefore, Xu Tianchuan also called it the phenomenon of 'ghost covering eyes'.
And now there is only one way in front of us.
It is this road that is specially marked on the stone wall.
"Could it be that this tomb deliberately forced itself to go in this direction?"
Xu Tianchuan's inner guess is that this possibility is very high.
"Shopkeeper Xu, where are we going now?"
Jiao San felt a little inexplicably uneasy.
"Follow the path under your feet!"
Xu Tianchuan cautiously hesitated for a moment in his heart, and finally made a decisive decision.
The soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth!
The boat is naturally straight to the bridge, and there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain!
As long as you don't go around in circles, you'll be able to find your way back.
When the words fell, Xu Tianchuan turned around directly and walked to the right.
In order to prevent spinning in place, Xu Tianchuan left a clear mark on the stone wall next to him every three to five meters.
Jiao San's previous premonition was very accurate, and as he walked forward in this canyon crack, Xu Tianchuan could basically be sure that he had indeed not walked this road when he came before.
The canyon is very straight and almost the same width on both sides.
And you can also faintly smell a special peculiar smell wafting in the air, and the further you go, the more obvious this peculiar smell becomes.
"Shopkeeper Xu...... Do you smell anything? ”
Jiao San followed behind Xu Tianchuan, and at the same time smelled this increasingly obvious odor, and became extremely vigilant.
"Well, the smell of corpses!"
Xu Tianchuan nodded in response.
Corpse stench?
Jiao San was a little surprised, he felt that this didn't look like a corpse smell, if it was really a corpse smell, logically speaking, it was impossible for him not to smell it.
Xu Tianchuan also seemed to see the doubts in Jiao San's heart, and continued: "Because the air circulation here is not very strong, the smell of the decomposing corpse is not completely volatilized by the air, which changes the quality of the air, and this odor is produced. ”
Xu Tianchuan explained this, and Jiao San seemed to understand a little.
To explain Xu Tianchuan's sentence simply, it means that after a person dies, the corpse decomposes and produces a corpse odor, and this corpse odor becomes this odor after thousands of years in the air because of the lack of air circulation.
But as soon as he thought of this, Jiao San seemed to think of a more serious question in his heart.
Even if the air circulation is not strong, this space is extremely large, how many people need to die, how many decomposing corpses need to be there, and the further you go inside, the stronger the smell in the air becomes.
"Be careful!"
Suddenly, at this moment, Xu Tianchuan shouted violently, and at the same time, a sword slashed down towards Jiao San.
Jiao San's head subconsciously shrank, and he felt a 'pop' sound in his ears, and a cold viscous liquid splashed half of his face.
Then he turned his head to look at the ground under his feet, and two stumps fell from his side, which were snow-capped corpse worms!
Although Xu Tianchuan had been cut into two knots with the Youtian Sword in time, he was still squirming on the ground, trying to crawl towards Jiao San's body.
Jiao San hurriedly took a step back, and at the same time took the black gold ancient knife in his hand and frantically made up several knives, chopping the corpse worm into minced meat.
"How can there be corpseworms in this place?"
Xu Tianchuan raised his head and looked above his head.
On both sides of the rock wall of the canyon crack, you can see a lot of snow-capped mountain corpse worms shrunk in the cracks of the craggy stone wall.
"Shopkeeper Xu, isn't this thing a snow monster outside?"
Jiao San hurriedly wiped the viscous liquid that had splashed on his face, and looked at the stump on the ground and exclaimed.
"Hmm!"
Xu Tianchuan nodded, the appearance of the snow-capped corpse worm and the smell in the air made Xu Tianchuan think of a possible thing in his heart, and immediately said to Jiao San: "Hurry up, if I guess correctly, there is an exit in front of you that can go up!" ”
Although Jiao San didn't react to the meaning of Xu Tianchuan's words, as soon as he heard Xu Tianchuan say that the front was the exit to go up, he immediately trotted excitedly and followed closely behind.
Sure enough.
is exactly the same as Xu Tianchuan imagined in his heart.
After walking forward for about ten minutes, Xu Tianchuan saw a spectacular and extremely familiar scene in front of him!
I saw in front of me an endless white bone, piled up in the gaps of the canyon, extremely terrifying and spectacular.
"Shopkeeper Xu...... This...... Isn't this the grave of white bones under the copper rope bridge? ”
Jiao San also looked at the scene in front of him and was shocked!
Although Jiao San and Xu Tianchuan did not enter this tomb together, the copper rope bridge is the only way to enter the tomb, so when Jiao San came in, he passed the copper rope bridge and saw the ten thousand burial pits of white bones piled up under the gap in the canyon, but what he saw in front of him at this time was exactly the same.
"Hmm!"
Xu Tianchuan nodded heavily, and he was extremely sure in his heart, this was indeed the ten thousand burial pit under the copper rope bridge.
I really didn't expect that after going around for a while, I actually went back to this ten thousand burial pits.
This is exactly the same as what Xu Tianchuan imagined in his heart before.
The smell in the air is getting heavier and heavier, even from this ten thousand graves, and there are only so many corpses in the ten thousand graves, resulting in the smell of corpses that has not been completely purified by the air for two thousand years, and even changed the quality of the air, leaving a peculiar smell in the air.
In addition, these corpse worms only appear near the graves.
What Xu Tianchuan thought of in his heart just now was exactly this.
As long as you use the compass to determine the direction and follow the ten thousand burial pits to find the copper rope bridge above, it is equivalent to avoiding the road of the White Bone Temple, taking a detour and going out on another road.
The direction on the compass shows that this 10,000 burial pit is facing east and west, and combined with the directions marked by Bagua seen in the tomb, it can basically be determined that the copper rope bridge is due east of its current location, and the distance is not too far.
"San'er, go on!"
Xu Tianchuan put away the compass and said with a serious and decisive expression.
Jiao San knew very well what Xu Tianchuan's 'Shang' meant.
It means to step on this grave of ten thousand graves.
Step on these white bones from the graves of ten thousand burials!
Jiao San thought that the group grave he encountered before might be the biggest scene he had ever experienced in his life, but now it seems that this 10,000 grave pit is the most psychological endurance.
The mass graves are all coffins no matter what.
And these ten thousand burial pits are all white bones, and they have to step on these white bones......
In addition, there are many disgusting and ugly corpse worms crawling on this white bone.
Fortunately, the corpse worms move slowly and pose little of a threat.
"Why, it can't be cowardice, right?"
Xu Tianchuan looked at Jiao San's expression at this time and couldn't help but smile.
Arouse?
Jiao San immediately perked up with a resolute expression.
More than 2,000 years of big meat dumplings are not afraid, will they instigate these white bones?
"Shopkeeper, do you think we look like that kind of coward?"
Xu Tianchuan's words just now actually played a role in agitating Jiao San, so that Jiao San took a step directly and decisively stepped on the white bones of the ten thousand burial pits.
Click......
Because these bones have been exposed to the air for too long and have been severely weathered, as soon as Jiao San's feet stepped on it, several of them were directly broken, making a crisp clicking sound, like stepping on a twisted flower, which frightened Jiao San so much that the expression on his face changed at that time.
This 10,000 burial pit is indeed not as terrifying as the 2,000-year-old meat zongzi, and it is not as threatening as the meat zongzi, but bravery and psychological endurance are completely two concepts......
