Chapter 207 [Bronze] (II)
Song Changjin found that he had studied the art of touching gold and robbing tombs for decades could not play any role here, with white sand under his feet, and darkness in front of him, in this chaotic environment, no experience would come in handy, and what was even more unfortunate was that the flashlight was about to run out, and the light was not much stronger than the fireflies, and finally that little bit of light was drowned in the darkness. Song Changjin said: "Xiao Zhang, it's not good, we don't know where to go at all." ”
Zhang Changgong said: "Take one step at a time, at least we are still alive now." ”
Song Changjin heard the sound of the bowstring pulling and tightening, he hurriedly stopped, blinked his eyes vigorously, and finally saw that in front of them, there was a little green light as if fluttering in the night, Song Changjin immediately judged that it was an eye, although he couldn't see who the eye belonged to, he could intuitively guess that it was the monster he had just seen, since they could fall down and not die, the monster's body must be stronger than them.
The green light suddenly approached them, and the sound of the soles of their feet slapping on the sand became clearer and clearer.
Zhang Longbow was still waiting, and he had to wait for the monster to enter the best attack distance to make the arrow he shoot the most powerful.
Song Changjin's heart had already risen to his throat, and he hoped that Zhang Changgong would shoot this arrow as soon as possible. Suddenly, there was a monster's wail in the distance, and a little green light stopped moving forward and spun in place, and with two wails, a blue glow appeared in the distance, and the green light disappeared.
Zhang Changgong was ready to attack, but he heard Wu Jie's indifferent voice in the distance: "This monster is really tenacious. It turned out that Wu Jie rushed out halfway and used his thin sword to assassinate the monster.
Zhang Changgong and Song Changjin were surprised and delighted, and the two of them moved closer to Wu Jie's direction, although they were in an urgent mood, they didn't dare to walk too fast, for fear of accidentally touching a potential mechanism.
Wu Jie said: "Don't worry, there is no organ around here." ”
Zhang longbow struck a match and lit the strip of cloth wrapped around the shaft of the feather arrow, and they saw Wu Jie standing next to a dead monster, the thin sword in his hand digging deep into the monster's single eye.
Zhang Longbow found that the dead monster's body had turned silver-gray, and some small scales had grown on its shoulder blades and tail, and he suspected that the monster in front of him was not the same kind as the monster he had seen before, and he expressed his suspicions.
Wu Jie said: "It should be one, the first thing we saw was its juveniles, and they grew up very quickly. ”
Song Changjin said: "One-eyed beast ......" As soon as the words came out, he suddenly realized that he was talking too much, and hurriedly closed his mouth.
Zhang Changbow said: "Have you ever seen this thing?"
Song Changjin shook his head.
Zhang Changgong had lost his patience and said angrily: "Say, what are you hiding at this time?"
Song Changjin was frightened by his sudden voice, and said in a trembling voice: "I haven't seen it, but there is a record on the Sanquan map, and I also thought it was just a legend, saying that this thing was conceived in the blood of a hundred beasts, and it was born with the strength of a hundred beasts, and its temperament was fierce and tenacious. ”
Zhang Changgong knows a little about Song Changjin's past, and he is also suspicious of what he said, and the most important thing now is to find Luo Lie and Yan Tianxin, although the three of them are not out of trouble, they are lucky to be alive, and everyone is not injured, which can be regarded as a great luck in misfortune.
Zhang Longbow asked Wu Jie about Luo Lie and Yan Tianxin, and Wu Jie's thin sword in his hand pulled away from the body of the one-eyed beast, and said in a deep voice: "Do you feel a cold wave surging over there?"
Zhang Changgong and Song Changjin did not have the same keen insight as him, and the two shook their heads at the same time, Zhang Changgong remembered that Wu Jie was a blind man who couldn't see their actions, so he said, "No." ”
Wu Jie said coldly: "No need to be so loud, I can hear it, you come with me, you don't have to illuminate." ”
In the dark environment where he couldn't see his fingers, Wu Jie's disadvantage became his advantage, and when no one could see the surrounding situation clearly, his senses were much sharper than others. Zhang Changgong and Song Changjin followed Wu Jie and walked to the right front, originally the two were worried that there might be a mechanism under their feet, and after walking for a distance, they found that they were safe, so they put their minds at ease, except for the one-eyed beast they met just now, there are no new monsters at present, which also makes them feel a little at ease.
The cold wave Zhang Changgong and Song Changjin mentioned by Wu Jie finally saw that there was no road ahead, blocked by a flat wall, Zhang Longbow landed his hand on the wall, and the tentacles were cold and hard, and it turned out to be a metal texture.
Wu Jie also put his hand on the wall, and his fingertips fed back the strokes of the inscription.
Song Changjin exclaimed: "The bronze wall, the entire wall is cast in bronze, I dare to conclude that there must be a treasure in it." ”
Wu Jie said: "Listen, there is a knocking sound." ”
Zhang Longbow put his ear on the bronze wall, and faintly heard the sound of percussion, it should be human, he was surprised: "Could it be Luo hunting them?"
Wu Jie nodded and said, "Who else can there be besides them?"
Song Changjin said: "Great!" His words were sincere, after all, Luo Lie was his own nephew, even if he was a philistine and cunning, he didn't want anything to happen to his nephew.
They didn't guess wrong, the knocking sound came from Luo Lie, Luo Lie and Yan Tianxin were the first to fall because of the broken rope, followed by the monster into the sand hole, but they immediately washed away with the quicksand after they landed, and they didn't know where they were after stopping, the whole process was tightly hugged together, each other had the idea of living and dying together, and both of them also thought that this time they would definitely die, although the place where they fell did not encounter a mechanism, but the quicksand alone could kill people.
Fortunately, they were not completely submerged by the white sand, just when they were only left with their heads outside, the white sand finally stopped flowing, and the two struggled to get up from the white sand, and the one-eyed beast that fell before them was already sent by the quicksand.
Reborn after the catastrophe, although the two were full of joy, they were not carried away by the joy, hugged each other, and immediately began to think about how to get out. Yan Tianxin took out a flashlight to illuminate the surroundings, and when the two of them saw the situation around them, the two of them were stunned because they were inside a huge bronze container.
In the center of this container, there is a black coffin slowly turning, it should be a coffin, the shape is very strange, like a black olive pit.
The scene in front of them was extremely familiar, and Luo Lie and Yan Tianxin couldn't help but think of the scene of seeing the Yushen Monument in the Nine Secret Realms. The black coffin floated silently in the void, rotating counterclockwise at an extremely slow speed. It's hard to believe that such a scenario is true if you don't see it with your own eyes. Luo Lie deduced that there was an invisible force field inside the bronze building they were in, and this black coffin was at the center of the balance point of the force field, so it was able to maintain this state.
Yan Tianxin whispered, "Is it the High Priest of Haori inside?"
Luo Lie shook his head and said, "I don't know." In fact, he also thought so in his heart, the Bailing Altar, the Reincarnation Array, the Blood Pool, and the monsters they saw, all of them were prepared for the resurrection of the High Priest of Haori, although they saw all kinds of mechanisms and formations, but they did not see the body of the High Priest of Haori.
According to common sense, the body of the high priest of Haori should be hidden deep in the center of the tomb, and it should also be the most secret place.
The black coffin was quite far from the surroundings, and it was not so easy to get close to the coffin, and the primary problem Luo Lie and Yan Tianxin were facing at the moment was how to escape from here. Yan Tianxin searched along the perimeter of the bronze wall and found some strange patterns and inscriptions carved on the walls.
When Yan Tianxin searched for an exit around, Luo Lie was still quietly looking at this coffin, the black coffin seemed to contain some kind of huge magic power, which deeply attracted Luo Lie's gaze, the coffin slowly autobiography, undoubtedly the center of this space, I don't know how many years it has been rotating like this, and what kind of ability network has supported it to the present, if it is counted from the Western Xia time, there are nearly a thousand years now.
Luo Lie made a plan in his heart that was most likely to be close to the coffin, that is, to climb up along the surrounding bronze wall, climb to the center of the top, jump from the center of the top to the coffin, Luo Lie used the beam of the flashlight to shine upward, from the top to the coffin at least twenty meters away, and the coffin should have thought of this possibility at the beginning of the design, so it was made into the shape of an olive, and there was no foothold at the end of the head and tail.
Luo Lie vetoed this plan in his heart, if a rope was hung from the top, then he would be able to slide smoothly to the coffin.
Yan Tianxin called Luo Lie over at this time, and Luo Lie also came to his senses because of this, and suddenly realized that he had never left the black coffin for so long, and he couldn't help but feel a little afraid in his heart, forcing himself to stop looking at the slowly rotating demonic coffin, and slowly came to Yan Tianxin's side.
Yan Tianxin pointed to the inscription above and said, "Look, is this character Xia Wen?"
Luo Lie looked at it fixedly, and the word Yan Tianxin was referring to was the character in Xia Wen, and his heart couldn't help but be shocked. Thousands of miles from Pale Mountain to here, there are also Xia Wen, and the place where they are located is the tomb group of the Western Xia kings.
Luo Lie silently sorted out the background of the Western Xia era, that era was the time when the Yushen Monument was completely lost, according to his current understanding, the Yushen Monument should be captured by the Jin people, and the Yushen Monument appeared in the Nine Secret Realm, which is precisely the place where the remains of Princess Longyu are collected, what is the connection between the two?
