Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Underground Capital
Zhu Qingyun hugged Zhu Feng tightly, the five of us came to the mantra mural again, no one spoke, the atmosphere was indescribably weird, no one knew what the so-called life path in the mantra meant, but now the ammunition is exhausted, but there is no way out!
It is not easy for Zhu Qingyun to stay calm at the moment, so the three of my grandfather and grandson did not pay attention to him in this final decision, the three of them looked at each other, grandpa nodded, and the third uncle slowly pressed the key towards the groove!
With a crisp embedded sound, the key was tightly embedded in the groove, the third uncle tried to press it gently, and the mantra mural changed again, and the four mantras disappeared together with the key, and the entire mural was empty, and at the same time, the muffled sound of the mechanism turning one after another, and the entire tomb began to vibrate violently! The nine iron chains shook and made a strange noise, and the nine sarcophagi also moved, and the dust began to fall along with the tomb bricks!
"It's going to collapse!"
"Boom!"
As soon as the third uncle's words fell, a sarcophagus slammed into the ground, followed by the second and third paths! As the fourth sarcophagus fell to the ground, cracks began to appear in the place where we were standing, and Grandpa immediately decided: "Enter the sarcophagus!" ”
"Boom!"
The largest sarcophagus in the center also fell at this time, the third uncle took the lead and pulled the grandfather in, I and Zhu Qingyun together sent Zhu Feng into the sarcophagus, as the two of us just entered the sarcophagus with the front foot, the entire tomb completely collapsed, we clung to the edge of the sarcophagus, the rapid wind whistling in our ears, like a night meteorite, falling deeper rapidly!
I don't know how long the panic lasted, I only remember the last bang, the sarcophagus took us into a river, the cold river agitated, instantly submerged us, but also weakened the impact of the sarcophagus, fortunately our water is okay, one after another surfaced, I looked around, at the moment is not too wide underground dark river, the river is quite deep, but the water flow is gentle! More than ten meters away is the riverbank, overgrown with tall trees, but it is not clear in the dark night, only faintly there is light in the distance!
"Bang bang bang!"
There are still tomb bricks falling overhead, looking up, it is pitch black, as if the meteors in the dark night are constantly falling, the third uncle has already dragged his grandfather towards the shore, Zhu Qingyun dragged Zhu Feng alone, I hurriedly swam over, and pulled Zhu Feng up the river bank with his joint efforts!
Escaping death, we sat on the bank of the river and gasped, frightened, Zhu Feng went crazy again, curled up behind Zhu Qingyun, pointed to the distance and kept shouting: "Hell!" Devil! ”
"That's it! Stop yelling! Tianguan, come and see your master! ”
The third uncle scolded, I hurriedly came to my grandfather's side, after the Yin Puppet battle, we were all injured, but after all, grandpa is old, and he is the most serious at the moment, panting hard!
"Master, are you alright? You have to hold on! ”
Seeing this, Zhu Qingyun also came to the front and said softly: "I learned first aid in the army, let me take a look!" ”
The third uncle and I didn't understand medicine, so we quickly got out of the way, and after Zhu Qingyun checked it briefly, his face became gloomy, and he said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid I hurt my internal organs!" Gotta heal now! ”
After that, she immediately wiped it off her waist, only to find that the first aid kit she was carrying was missing at some point, and I hurriedly said, "Why are you stunned?" My third uncle and I don't know how to treat medicine, so it's up to you, hurry up! ”
"I... Even if you want to cure it, you have to have medicine! ”
My face sank, but my grandfather stopped the words: "Don't worry, I won't die for a while, look at the dense vegetation around here, maybe I can find herbs, help me up first, find a high place to see the terrain!" ”
The surrounding area is dark, and the dense woods are full of strange ancient trees that seem to be dancing with teeth and claws, towering to the sky, and you can't see the crown when you look up! The third uncle and I helped my grandfather up, looked at the general terrain, and slowly walked towards the heights!
But the more you walk around, the more suspicious it becomes, I thought that this underground space should not be large, but we supported each other and walked for most of the day, only to vaguely see the top of the mountain! After the battle in the tomb, we were exhausted, each was injured, gritted our teeth and persevered for most of the day, at this moment we finally reached the limit, we couldn't hold on anymore, we each leaned on the tree to rest, the third uncle couldn't help asking: "Dad!" What kind of place do you think this is? It's been a long time since I walked, and I haven't reached the top of the mountain yet, and besides, there is still light underground? And this tree, you see this tree, with all these blue lights in the ground, it grows so luxuriantly, and there is no other vegetation except this tree, this... Isn't this really a fucking dungeon? ”
"Underground space is not uncommon, has there been a newspaper report over the years? These trees may have become accustomed to the underground environment! Third uncle, don't talk nonsense! ”
At this moment, I was actually amazed in my heart, but I had to be strong and calm, for fear that my third uncle's words would move the army's heart again!
When the third uncle heard this, he sighed helplessly: "I don't know how deep the hell it is, how can I get out!" ”
As he spoke, the third uncle wanted to take out his compass to check, but at this moment, a sudden sound came from not far away, as if something had passed through, and a shrill woman's laughter was released! Since coming to this underground space, there was a dead silence all around, quiet and terrible, and the sudden sound made several of us stunned!
But before we could react, Zhu Feng suddenly got startled like a demon, looked into the distance and shouted, "Hell! Hell! Lord Yama is here! Lord Yama is here! Can't escape! Can't escape! ”
I looked at the sound in the distance, it seemed that there was really a black shadow flashing, and I couldn't really see it under the blue light, and I couldn't help muttering in my heart: Is it possible, it's really time to meet a ghost!
"Don't think about it, get to the top of the mountain as soon as possible!"
Grandpa spoke again, his tone heavy, revealing a bit of indescribable mystery, as if he had already made a trace of inference about where we were!
I immediately got up and helped my grandfather up again, and the third uncle and Zhu Qingyun also followed, and after nearly two hours of difficult formation, we finally reached the highest point where we were! The pinnacle of a mountain!
Looking up, the celestial phenomena in the sky are shocking, and when you look down, the terrain under your feet is even more jaw-dropping!
I saw that in the sky underground, the dark blue light was like starlight, like the moonlight, and it actually showed a star map!
Just one glance, the third uncle and I exclaimed almost at the same time:
"Thirty-six Tiangang!"
What appeared in this sky was the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Star Chart!
And the surrounding terrain also corresponds to the void, with mountains undulating one after another, a total of thirty-six! Our current location is the twenty-ninth mountain!
The thirty-six mountains were full of those strange black trees, and the crowns of these towering ancient trees were exactly the same blood-red flowers!
The blue starry sky, the dark mountains, and the endless sea of red flowers!
And at the end of this, there is a magnificent and solemn huge city, like the capital in the dark night, standing quietly!
"Hell! Oh hell! ~~~~”
Zhu Feng let out a terrible scream again, and Zhu Qingyun tried his best to appease, but this time the third uncle and I didn't say anything more, this place may be really fucking hell!
Just when I was stunned, my grandfather hurriedly took out his compass from his arms, only to see that the direction in the compass changed rapidly, and it seemed to be affected by a mysterious force, and it could no longer be accurately displayed!
It can be seen that in this situation, the grandfather showed a crazy chuckle, and looked at the 'Xudu' in the distance, and actually recited the mantra in the tomb again, and kept repeating:
"Seventy-two cities build heroic souls!
Devil but go to life!
Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sorry! ”
"Master? What's wrong with you? ”
"Grandpa Zheng, you?"
Grandpa's abnormality made us all panic, and the third uncle asked, "Dad, do you see it?" ”
"Haha! Seventy-two cities! Thirty-six Tiangang! It's us! Strange game through the ages, strange game through the ages! Sky... Ahem-poof! ”
Grandpa coughed in ecstasy, spurted out a mouthful of blood, and then passed out straight!
"Master!"
"Daddy!"
Grandpa was already old, and after hurting his internal organs, he traveled with us for most of the day, and he ran out of ammunition and food, so he couldn't support it, so he didn't react at all because I and the third uncle shouted, and there was no reaction.
Zhu Qingyun didn't care about Zhu Feng, reached out and picked his grandfather's eyelids, and said in a deep voice: "It should be fine in a short time, you have to find some food as soon as possible to replenish your strength, if you can find herbs, it's the best!" ”
The third uncle and I relaxed a little, and the third uncle said helplessly: "Where is there anything to eat in this hellish place!" I haven't even seen a living thing! I hope I can find some grass... ”
Before the third uncle finished speaking, there was another familiar sound not far away, and it was like Fang Cai, a black shadow flashed away, and a piercing shrill laugh was released!
"Fuck, I'm going to see what the hell is pretending to be a ghost!"
"I'll go!"
Grandpa fainted suddenly, and we didn't have the heart to think about the mystery of this underground space, so I volunteered to chase it out, Luoyang shovel in hand, and went straight to the black shadow to chase!
The black shadow in the dense forest was quite fast, I tried my best to still keep a certain distance from it, vaguely looking, it looked like a five or six-year-old baby, but it was on all fours, I chased all the way, and the piercing shrill laugh in its mouth became more and more urgent!
"Heavenly Official! Be careful! ”
The third uncle's reminder sounded behind me, but I didn't care much, since it was a living creature, at least it could give us a full meal!
I tightened the Luoyang shovel in my hand, and was about to throw it out as a spear, this black shadow seemed to have tripped over something, I took the opportunity to chase closer, only to see that it was actually planted in the rhizome of an ancient tree, and was desperately struggling out!
I stopped in front of this thing out of breath, Luoyang shovel in hand, it only took one blow to solve it, but at this moment, it was close at hand, and its appearance made my face full of surprise!
It's a- rat! A rat the size of a yellow dog, pitch black, and without eyes!
The stem stucked its body, and it turned around with all its might, its fangs biting the rhizome quickly, trying to get out, and a rat face without eyes made me stay in place!
"Heavenly official, what the hell is it!"
The third uncle also chased after his grandfather at this moment, and Zhu Qingyun behind him pulled Zhu Feng tightly, I motioned to the third uncle to look at it himself, and the third uncle couldn't help but scold angrily again:
"I'm grass! Rat Spirit! A rat spirit without eyes! - Slaughter it! Just to replenish your stamina! ”
After the shock, the third uncle's stomach couldn't help but scream!
"Huh!? This... Until you understand this underground space, it's better not to move the things here! ”
Zhu Qingyun came to the front, and was directly frightened by this eyeless mouse, and hurriedly covered his eyes with his right hand and didn't dare to look directly, but Zhu Feng, in the face of such a terrifying mouse, was not afraid, but showed a little smirk!
I looked at the third uncle, and there was a little hesitation in my heart, what Zhu Qingyun said made some sense, this mouse is really weird, I don't know what to eat, the blessing and misfortune are unpredictable!
And in just a few moments, the eyeless mouse had already bitten off the rhizome of its arm, turned around and fled into the darkness again!
Seeing this, the third uncle even wanted to chase him out again, but before he could take a step, he suddenly looked down at the place where the eyeless mouse was trapped, and the stem was tossed around it for a while, and a small pit appeared, and a pinch of white things attracted the attention of the third uncle!
"Heavenly Official! You see? ”
