Chapter 264: The Seven Great Halls of Immortality
One meter!
One second!
His life was only one meter away from death.
This thrilling feeling made Xu Tianchuan, who was in a thrilling escape, jump wildly in his heart.
Just in case, Xu Tianchuan immediately swam a few meters away.
Looking back at this devil, it was like a vicious dog that had been leashed, one of the ropes in its mouth was pulled straight, and the other was firmly tied to the rock slab.
But it is not completely firmly tethered, because the strength of the devil is equivalent to the weight of the rock slab in the water, so under the fierce drag of the devil, the rock slab behind it has been slowly pulled down from the bronze tripod, but the speed of moving forward is relatively slow, slower than the king on land, and it can no longer constitute any threat at all.
Xu Tianchuan slid the water surface with his limbs together, looking at the devil who was restrained by the rope, he couldn't help grinning, it seems that this devil's life is inseparable from this rope.
As for Xing Chang's side, he also swam up from the gap between the rock slab and the bronze tripod in the gap where he led the devil away just now, and left the dangerous area, and his fate was saved.
All the plans were successfully implemented.
What to do now is to use the power of the devil to remove the rock slab pressed on the bronze tripod.
can see that the devil at this time, although there is still burning anger in his eyes, his strength is obviously much lower.
Obviously, this devil is not much different from a fish, although he has a lot of strength and explosive power, but his durability is very poor, just like a 'three-second real man'.
This is why anglers need to slip the fish first when they encounter a big fish, and when the fish's physical strength is exhausted, they can only be at their mercy.
And at this time, this devil is like the 'fish' that has been slipped away for a long time, and basically all the strength in his body has been used up.
If you plan to leave half an hour to go up, there are only less than twenty minutes left before the available time is available, so if you wait for the devil to recover his strength before helping to drag the rock slab, it will definitely be too late.
Then we can only find a way to make this devil burst out with 1,000% of his strength.
After all, potential is forced out, and this sentence can be used not only on people, but also on ghosts or animals......
Xu Tianchuan wandered in front of the devil, stretched out his arms, made a seductive gesture at the devil, and at the same time made a playful expression on his face.
Let the devil's heart rekindle the angry fireworks, explode, explode to your heart's content, little north nose!
Xu Tianchuan's trick really worked.
The devil, who was already a little tired, had just stopped, but when he saw that Xu Tianchuan actually provoked himself again, all his anger burned again in an instant, opened his huge mouth like an abyss, and rushed towards Xu Tianchuan with all his strength.
Beasts are indeed beasts, although they have independent consciousness and are quite intelligent, but they still have nothing to do with scheming.
Under the onslaught of the devil this time, he almost struggled forward a meter away, and the rock slab covering the bronze tripod at the other end of the rope also moved out of a part of the distance.
But because the slabs are so large, this is certainly not enough.
"Little North Nose, go on! Aren't you a cow, aren't you strong? Go on! Hurry up and get on! ”
Xu Tianchuan smiled provocatively at the devil, and at the same time made all kinds of indecent gestures, anyway, how to recruit black.
The devil, who was already angry to the limit, almost distorted his whole face under Xu Tianchuan's provocation, as if he had brought the intention of dying with Xu Tianchuan, and rushed forward frantically, trying to break the rope in his mouth.
In fact, Xu Tianchuan himself knows very well that his behavior is playing with fire, and he is also playing with a fire!
The devil's strength is clearly reflected in the huge rock slab that is being dragged along.
So how much weight does this rope carry?
Even if there is the buoyancy of water, it weighs at least several thousand catties.
Even if this is not an ordinary rope, it is woven with soft steel wire mixed with coarse linen, but Xu Tianchuan does not dare to guarantee that this rope is really stable.
If the power of the devil erupts, the rope is torn off.
The consequences can be imagined.
It's like you're teasing a vicious dog, and suddenly the rope breaks, it's definitely dead or alive, and there is no suspense.
Although Xu Tianchuan also knew that he was playing with fire and taking risks, there was no other way.
After all, living in this world is a process of continuous adventure......
"Come on, Xiaobeibi, let me see how much more of your potential can be squeezed!"
Xu Tianchuan smiled treacherously at the devil, and at the same time turned around and twisted his pi shares.
This is the most childish and low-powered way to tease, but the more naïve it is, the more it can burn the anger of the devil.
It's a brute, after all!
Everything is going very well, and this rope is very powerful!
But the most important thing is that this devil is powerful enough, under Xu Tianchuan's constant teasing, the devil who was so angry that he almost exploded dragged the rock slab behind him and slowly rushed forward for a distance of more than ten meters.
Although the rope was too long, and it was impossible to see the situation on the side of the bronze tripod at a distance of twenty or thirty meters, Xu Tianchuan estimated that the rock slab must have been dragged down from the bronze tripod.
Even if the rock slab has been dragged down from the bronze tripod, it is still far from enough.
Because the length of the rope is about fifteen meters, the area with a diameter of fifteen meters centered on the rock slab is dangerous.
That is to say, at least the devil must be attracted to drag the rock slab fifteen meters away from the bronze tripod before it can be safely approached the bronze tripod.
No! To be exact, it should be twenty meters, because a distance of five meters should be reserved to give yourself time to see the contents on the bronze tripod.
Twenty meters!
What is this concept?
The current devil is almost on the verge of complete collapse, even under Xu Tianchuan's teasing, he still maintains an angry and hideous mood, but his physical strength can no longer hold on and slowly declines.
Even if Xu Tianchuan opened his mouth to scold the fucking ghost god now, he probably wouldn't be able to exert his strength, let alone twenty meters.
However, although he didn't have much strength, he still had the ability to bite Xu Tianchuan to death.
As for this, Xu Tianchuan has already thought of a way.
As long as the intelligence is enough, there is nothing in this world that cannot be done, and there is nothing impossible!
Xu Tianchuan immediately changed direction at this time and began to lead the devil in a circle between the rubble and the pillars of the ruins.
As I said earlier, brutes are always brutes.
Although beasts also have autonomous consciousness or are intelligent, their brains are not so flexible, and no one can turn fast or know how to think!
At first, the devil didn't realize that Xu Tianchuan was deliberately leading it around the rocks and pillars of the ruins.
When Xu Tianchuan felt the same, he directly changed the direction and swam quickly towards the bronze tripod again.
And when the devil was angry and wanted to chase after him, he realized that the rope that was nearly fifteen meters long had already been tangled in a mess between the rubble and the pillars of the ruins.
Gollum......
The devil was angry and hideous, opening his abyssal mouth and gurgling bubbles at the bottom of the water, and under the restraint of the strong rope, he could only watch Xu Tianchuan's figure swimming at the bottom of the water, like a dashing little fish, gradually moving away and drifting away......
Seemingly complex problems can be made much simpler with a little brainstorming.
Xu Tianchuan returned to the place where the bronze tripod was.
At this time, Xing Chang in the distance was looking around anxiously, looking for Xu Tianchuan.
When he saw Xu Tianchuan coming from a distance, Xing Chang immediately followed with great joy.
After coming to Xu Tianchuan's side, Xing Chang immediately made a gesture and asked what the devil was.
Xu Tianchuan showed a smug smile on his face, in order to make Xing Chang better understand, so Xu Tianchuan directly slashed his palm on his neck, and made a gesture of 'erasure'.
The devil was obliterated?
Looking at Xu Tianchuan's chic gesture, Xing Chang's eyes suddenly widened in surprise, and his eyes were full of admiration.
Because of the time problem, Xu Tianchuan immediately looked at the bronze tripod again.
This is the new side, so there is no need to turn over the bronze tripod, which is covered with dense Zhong Dingwen, which is the second half of the proposition I just saw.
That is, from the second temple to the third temple...... Fourth Temple......
Fifth Temple...... Sixth Temple......
Until the final seventh hall, which is the real main hall of the Hall of Eternal Life!
In other words, the entire Hall of Eternal Life is composed of a total of seven halls.
There are many dangers recorded about the seven halls of the Hall of Eternal Life on the bronze tripod, and almost every hall has different dangers, full of treachery and ferocity.
How treacherous?
The oracle bone inscription belongs to the hieroglyphs, and the so-called hieroglyphs are words that describe the shape of the real thing, and in the dangerous descriptions of these halls of the Hall of Eternal Life, the oracle bone inscriptions that have never been seen are used, some of the people are divided into several paragraphs, and some of the words 'people' are drawn with a lot of vertical lines.
From this point alone, it can reflect the danger and treachery of the seven halls of this Hall of Eternal Life.
But in this proposition, it is not just asked eight times.
There is a question about how to open the Hall of Eternal Life, how to survive in the Seven Great Halls is a question, and finally there is a question, and the most critical one, asking: "How to live forever!" ”
Xu Tianchuan subconsciously frowned after reading the entire proposition on the bronze tripod.
This means that it is not that you can directly obtain eternal life by entering the Hall of Eternal Life, but that the Hall of Eternal Life hides secrets about immortality, and it still needs to be explored.
But if you think about it, it's true.
It is impossible to put an elixir in the middle of the main hall in the Hall of Eternal Life, as long as you enter the Hall of Eternal Life, you can take away the elixir of life, and then eat it to live forever.
In addition, and most importantly, only 'immortality' is known now. As for how to live forever, in what way, or at what cost to live forever, I don't know, and the owner of this ancient tomb, Ji Yao, doesn't know, otherwise he wouldn't ask "how to live forever".
In fact, after reading all the propositions on the bronze tripod, Xu Tianchuan had an incomprehensible doubt in his heart.
What doubts?
The owner of this ancient tomb, the high priest Ji Yao, must have dared not enter the Hall of Eternal Life, so he asked about the Hall of Eternal Life and the Seven Great Halls through such a large-scale sacrificial divination.
But if he didn't dare to enter, then how did he know that the Hall of Eternal Life had seven halls and so many dangers?
This seems to be a contradictory thing.
If you have to find an explanation, it can only be that Ji Yao first sent some people into the Eternal Life Hall to 'test the waters', and then obtained these information about the Eternal Life Palace......
The four sides of the quadrangular bronze tripod have been seen before and after three of them just now, and the last side is on the left.
Because the bronze tripod was at a slight downward angle at this time, Xu Tianchuan and Xing often turned it over.
It was exactly the same as Xu Tianchuan had expected.
Because this bronze tripod is a sacrificial ritual vessel and a tool for the beginning of sacrificial divination, only the pretext and the proposition are recorded on it.
As for the divination and verification after the sacrificial divination, it should be recorded elsewhere, which should also be the most important thing for the tomb owner.
Xu Tianchuan guessed that nine times out of ten, he would be by his side.
It seems that it is inevitable to find the tomb owner of this ancient tomb.
As for the last side of this bronze tripod, there is no text on it, only some reliefs and a pattern of a very symmetrical bird with four corners.
As the totem of the Shang Dynasty, Xuanniao was worshiped as an ancestor by the merchants, and it seems that this sacrifice is their ancestor Xuanniao, and the divination about the Palace of Eternal Life is also their ancestor Xuanniao.
Now Xu Tianchuan can say that his understanding of the Palace of Eternal Life is one step closer.
There are a total of seven halls in the Hall of Eternal Life, each of which is unusually vicious and weird, and the Hall of Eternal Life only hides the secret of eternal life, as for whether it can be found, it still depends on whether it can be found in this ancient tomb and the divination and verification left by this huge sacrifice.
Xu Tianchuan got up and wrote two words on the bronze tripod with his fingers in front of Xing Chang, one for 'occupy' and one for 'inspection'.
The most inconvenient thing under the water is that you can't open your mouth to communicate, but fortunately, there is enough tacit understanding between Xu Tianchuan and Xing Chang.
Xing Chang also immediately understood what Xu Tianchuan wanted to express from these two words.
There is no occupancy and verification on this bronze tripod, and you still need to find the divination and verification!
Xing Chang did not hesitate at all, and immediately looked at Xu Tianchuan's expression and nodded resolutely, indicating that no matter where Xu Tianchuan went, he would definitely follow.
Xu Tianchuan looked at Xing Chang's expression at this time, and his heart was also quite relieved.
What's interesting is that the female ghost next to her actually showed a trace of firm eyes and expressions at Xu Tianchuan, and at the same time made a gesture, pointing to the west, which was still the place where the female ghost was going to take Xu Tianchuan before.
Xu Tianchuan knew very well that the female ghost was pointing at the West, signaling to herself that her bones were in the West.
But Xu Tianchuan also had an inexplicable feeling in his heart, feeling that what the female ghost was referring to was the place where the words and the words were located.
Maybe it's psychological......
