Without time to hesitate, the three of them glanced at each other and ran into the passage on the left.

At the moment when she was about to run into the passage, Xi Yueru turned her head to look, only to see that the door bolt had been broken, the door of the temple was wide open, and the door of the armored figurines swarmed in, and in the middle of the figurines, the thousand-year-old corpse was impressive.

With a howl of "roar", seeing that Ji Yueru was looking at it, the owner of the tomb two thousand years ago seemed to be furious, shook off the human figurines in front of it, and roared at Xi Yueru.

Ji Yueru didn't stop at all, turned around, followed behind Fang Yuan and Huang Qiuding, and the figure quickly disappeared at the entrance of the passage.

The terrain in the passage was even more complicated than Ji Yue had expected, and if he didn't have this map in hand, it was not difficult to imagine what the consequences would be.

"The reason why the ancient, who died two thousand years ago, marked the black line on the map is probably because he was worried about getting lost when he went out, but he didn't need it himself, but he saved the three of us two thousand years later." Ji Yueru thought as she ran.

Running along the black line on the map, they quickly shook off the pursuers behind them after turning five times.

"No, no, let's rest for a while, I really can't run." Fang Yuan bent over, gasping for air, propping one hand on his knees and waving the other, motioning for Ji Yueru to stop first.

Ji Yueru looked back, not only did Fang Yuan not hold on, but Huang Qiuding was also tired enough, the sweat on his little face was rolling down, leaning against the wall and panting.

In desperation, Ji Yueru had no choice but to think about it again.

"What should I do next?"

"You're all right."

Huang Qiuding took a few breaths, paused, pointed to the passage on the right side of the shadow wall, and continued, "That side is the way we came, and we can't go." ”

Ji Yueru nodded, quickly unfolded the parchment and glanced at it, quickly stuffed it into her pants pocket, pointed to the passage on the left, and said, "Let's go out from this side." ”

In just such a moment, the figurines outside the hall lost Huang Qiuding's control, and the previous chaos was gone, and nearly a hundred armored figurines had already rushed to the outside of the temple gate and began to violently hit the temple door.

Under the huge impact, the already somewhat rotten door bolt was obviously deformed after a few blows, and it was only a matter of time before it was broken.

Since entering the catacomb, he has been desperately trying to escape, not to mention Fang Yuan, a weak scholar, and Huang Qiuding, a girl, even Ji Yueru feels a little unbearable.

"How far is it from the exit, we've all walked so far, why haven't we arrived yet?" Fang Yuan wiped his sweat.

"It shouldn't be far away, I'll take a look." Ji Yueru took out the map and turned on the flashlight to check where she was at the moment.

Ji Yueru and Fang Yuan's flashlights had already fallen to I don't know where, but fortunately Huang Qiuding was still there, otherwise he would be a little blind.

"This seems to be a small cave, and according to the route on the map, you can go through a larger cave in front of you."

Ji Yueru looked up at the surrounding environment, compared the map again, and came to a conclusion.

"Great, it's finally time to go home." Fang Yuan said happily, but then continued with some hesitation, "Then, what about Captain Ma, he is still there"

"Send you out first, and I'll find a way to save Captain Ma when I get back." Ji Yueru interrupted Fang Yuan's words and decisively ended the discussion.

Ma Weiguang is the captain of the armed police, and Ji Yueru is naturally worried about his safety, just because Ma Weiguang has many years of military career after all, and he should have a stronger survivability than Fang Yuan and Huang Qiuding, which is the reason why Ji Yueru chooses.

After all, it is a fresh life, so Ji Yueru must go back to save him, but there is no need to take Shang Yuan and Huang Qiuding to accompany him on the adventure, in this situation, they can only be a burden to themselves

。

"Uh, okay then." Seeing that Ji Yueru's face was not good, Fang Yuan did not continue the topic with interest.

After resting for a while and regaining some strength, they did not delay much and continued to follow the guidance of the map.

After getting around this cave, I didn't go far, and soon I entered a huge cave, and according to the marks on the map, after passing through here, I walked a short way, which was where the man had entered before.

The cave was only slightly smaller than the previous clearing, but it was crowded compared to the empty clearing.

The cave was covered with dense vegetation, and although there were no trees, it was overgrown with shrubs and weeds more than half a person tall, and the murmuring of running water could be faintly heard on the cave walls, and the entire cave floor looked muddy.

The walls of the cave are surrounded by unknown vines, which shade the entire cave roof, and countless vines hang down from the cave roof, connecting with the vegetation below, as if you are in a tropical rainforest.

Ji Yueru was in the lead, Fang Yuan and Huang Qiuding followed closely behind, and the three of them plunged into this "jungle".

The ground is muddy, and there are bushes blocking the road from time to time in front, so it is extremely slow to walk, and from time to time she pushes away the weeds and rattans that are densely scattered around, and she must pay attention to her feet, for fear that there is a quagmire and swamp hidden in the ground under her feet, and it will be a big trouble to accidentally fall into it.

When he walked for more than half a while, Fang Yuan, who was following Ji Yueru, suddenly pulled Ji Yueru's clothes.

Ji Yueru turned her head and saw that she had been holding the corner of Ji Yueru's clothes with her hand, and pointed to the right side with the other hand, her face was a little unsightly, "Yueru, have you heard any movement over there?"

"There is movement" Ji Yueru looked in the direction he pointed, and her sight was full of weeds and vines, and she couldn't see what was behind her.

"There's no movement?" Ji Yueru turned her head and looked at Huang Qiuding at the end of the team, "Qiuding, did you hear anything?"

"Well, I heard that, too." Huang Qiuding nodded and affirmed.

Seeing that the two of them were unanimously affirmed, Ji Yueru motioned for the two of them to wait in place, and touched it over there by herself. Before, Ji Yue Ruguang paid attention to the soles of her feet, and it is very possible that she didn't pay attention to her surroundings.

Walking about three or four meters, Ji Yueru pushed aside the grass in front of her and saw that in the gap of the vines in front of her, a clearing about a few dozen meters wide was revealed.

On the ground of this clearing, there is actually a stone platform about ten meters long and wide, paved with bluestone, and there is an arch in the middle of the stone.

This fierce beast is like a mountain leopard, but its size is three or four times larger than that of a leopard, its muscles are knotted, and the muscles on its thick limbs are as tight as iron, full of explosive power. Between the toes, there are extremely sharp claws.

The beast's face was slightly longer than that of a leopard, with a single horn on its forehead, two long fangs sticking out of its mouth, and a pair of beast eyes were widening angrily, looking in the direction of Ji Yueru.

"Discovered" Ji Yueru's heart shrank suddenly, and even her breathing involuntarily became lighter.

"Such an ancient fierce beast, is it the mountain monster recorded in the Book of Mountains and Seas, but isn't it a fierce beast that only appears in myths and legends, how can it appear here." Facing the angry eyes of the mountain, Ji Yueru's cold sweat quietly rolled from her forehead, and she didn't dare to raise her hand to wipe it.

"Yueru, why are you standing here and have you noticed something" Fang Yuan suddenly jumped out from behind Ji Yueru, patted her on the shoulder, and asked softly.

"Shh

Ji Yueru was startled and quickly covered his mouth.

"Hmm" Fang Yuan, who was not aware of the situation, struggled desperately in Ji Yueru's arms, and wrenched Ji Yueru's hand with both hands, making an unknown sound of snort.

Ji Yueru couldn't care about his feelings at this time, and hurriedly turned back to look at the mountain, which was still lying in place

, staring at Ji Yueru's beast eyes motionless.

"Hey, although the movement of the two of us here just now is not big, it must not be said to be small, it should have alarmed that mountain monster, but why is it still staying in place, is there anything strange" Ji Yueru looked at the mountain monster, and her heart was a little unclear, so the hand holding Fang Yuan let go.

"Phew, what are you doing Yueru" Fang Yuan sent Yueru out of his arms, and was about to open his mouth to scold, when he turned his head and saw the mountain hideous, he immediately stopped talking.

"Then, what is that" Fang Yuan pushed Ji Yueru and asked in a low voice.

Ji Yueru shook her head and didn't answer, time has passed for a while, and the mountain still hasn't moved. Ji Yueru simply pushed aside the grass and walked over directly.

Standing at the foot of the mountain, Xi Yue glanced at each other like the three of them, and smiled dumbly.

"Scared me to death, it turned out to be just a bronze sculpture," Fang Yuan sneered.

"But the carving is really fine, and the light in the cave is dim, so I am dozens of meters away and think it is a living thing."

"The owner of the tomb placed such a bronze statue here, probably the same as putting two stone lions or pixiu in front of his house, but it was just a town house, but it scared me in vain."

There were no dangers along the way, they passed through this "jungle" cave, and finally came to the entrance where the ancients came in, but this entrance was a little different from what Ji Yueru had imagined before.

It was a teapot-shaped cave with a small exit on it, not so high that some light shone in through the opening. It turned out that unconsciously, the three of them had been tossing in this catacombs for a night, and it was already dawn at this time.

After carefully searching the surroundings, Ji Yueru stopped in disappointment, and the bottom of the cliff cave fell silent for a while.

"The ancients should have hung down from the entrance of the cave, but more than 2,000 years have passed, and no matter what material the rope is, it has already turned into dust, and there will not be a trace left."

"Is it just trapped in this catacomb?"

"It seems that we can only go back to the coffin of the tomb owner, where there may be a way out." A moment later, Ji Yueru broke the silence with a voice.

"The coffin of the tomb owner" Fang Yuan raised his head in surprise and wondered, "How can there be a passage out of the coffin of the tomb, I am a student of archaeology, and I have never seen this kind of design. ”

"This tomb is different, do you remember the crystal coffin array before?"

Fang Yuan nodded.

Ji Yueru stood up and continued, "This place is famous, called the Seven Yin Gathering Yin Cave, which can ensure that the bodies of the people buried here do not rot. ”

"You mean to say that the owner of the tomb wants to be resurrected after death" Fang Yuan's eyes lit up.

"That's right," Ji Yueru nodded, "All attempts to preserve the body are all related to the afterlife and resurrection. Although no one has ever really achieved it, the fear of death cannot be suppressed, so the pursuit of resurrection after death runs through human civilization. ”

"It's true that the owner of the tomb has been resurrected, but in a way that may not be what it expects." Fang Yuan regained his mood and teased the thousand-year-old corpse, Huang Qiuding couldn't help but smile.

"That's true, but the owner of the tomb would not have thought of this before he died, and since he was so eager to be resurrected, he would definitely arrange an exit in advance for himself to be able to go out after he was resurrected." Ji Yueru reasoned.

Fang Yuan couldn't help but nodded, but he was a little worried about the actual difficulties.

"The body of this tomb should be at the middle entrance of that palace, but there are still so many armored figurines over there, and the thousand-year-old corpse is there, can we get by?"

"That can't be helped, it won't work here, then the possible exit is our only hope."

They had no choice but to gamble on their luck.
