Volume 1 Thousand Years of Taboo Chapter 16 Blackwater Valley (4)
"That's mercury! Brother Liu, don't touch it! ”
Next to the moat outside the main tomb, Liu Dongchen was about to reach out to touch the "river water" inside, when Zhang Feng grabbed his hand.
"No wonder! I'll just say how dizzy. ”
Liu Dongchen's neck shrank, but fortunately Zhang Feng stopped him, otherwise something would have happened.
"Brother Zhang, have you explored the surroundings?"
He and Zhang Feng have been acting separately just now, Liu Dongchen is responsible for exploring the road ahead, and Zhang Feng is responsible for exploring the surroundings.
"Roughly scanned, there is no danger."
Zhang Feng was a little absent-minded, this place seemed to be something at first glance, but in fact it was all empty.
"What General Kudo wants should be inside, let's go inside."
Liu Dongchen jumped forward, and he was sure to pass the two-meter-wide ditch.
Zhang Feng didn't say a word and followed in.
The main burial chamber was extremely monotonous, the floor tiles inside had cracked, and there was nothing around except for a bluestone sarcophagus in the center.
"Brother Liu, I really feel a little wrong, don't you think this place has nothing to show for itself?"
Zhang Feng kept staring at the sarcophagus, it was too weird, but he couldn't say what was wrong at all.
"What does Brother Zhang mean?"
"Brother Liu doesn't think that all this is like being arranged, isn't it too smooth for us to go this way?"
Zhang Feng frowned, this feeling is getting stronger and stronger, logically speaking, shouldn't there be a lot of organs in such a luxurious tomb, and no one can enter?
Why is there not even a little accident now, it's really weird.
"Maybe that's what happened here?"
Liu Dongchen is a little unbelieving, and it doesn't mean that no one in all the tombs will be able to enter.
"Nope! Brother Liu, don't be careless, our tradition is that the dead are great, if it is normal in other places, but it is really on the land under our feet! Do you really think this is normal? ”
The more Zhang Feng thought about it, the more scared he became, and he had a bad premonition.
"It's... Truly. ”
Liu Dongchen stopped all movements, something was really wrong here.
Think about it, where is the centipede spirit hiding in the tomb? Why didn't there be the slightest trace of it when I came in, normally such a large size would have destroyed something, but why was the tomb intact?
"Brother Zhang, did you find any centipedes in here when you just explored?"
Liu Dongchen swallowed a mouthful of saliva, expecting Zhang Feng to say the answer he imagined.
"Nope..."
Zhang Feng was stunned in place, suddenly realized this problem, goosebumps all over his body rose, he really didn't see a single insect.
"So is it time to go out, or to open it?"
Liu Dongchen pointed to the sarcophagus not far away, sweating like rain, and countless fears rose from his heart at this moment.
“....”
The crow was silent, and Zhang Feng's body melted as quickly as a candle, turning into a pool of blood.
Liu Dongchen's head was dizzy when he saw all this, and he only felt that he couldn't stand steadily, and he fell to the ground and lost consciousness completely.
"Smack!! Brother Liu? ”
"Smack! Feed? ”
Liu Dongchen only felt a hot pain on his face, and when he opened his eyes again, he found that he was actually lying in Zhang Feng's arms, and not far in front of him was the "small river" full of mercury.
"Huh!?"
"Whew... Ahem, ahem..."
Liu Dongchen gasped heavily, and only gasped a few times, the feeling of stinging his throat almost suffocated him, and he clutched his throat for a dry cough.
"Steady! Try to breathe as little as possible! There's too much mercury here! ”
Zhang Feng gently patted Liu Dongchen's back to help him recover as soon as possible.
"What's going on? Didn't we go in? ”
Liu Dongchen looked at Zhang Feng suspiciously, he clearly remembered that Zhang Feng had...
"It's a luni-solar mirror! It was also the first time I encountered it, and legend has it that there is a strange reflective stone in the Yellow Spring, and this kind of mirror made of stone can enter the netherworld! ”
"Netherworld?"
"That is, the world inside the Gate of Yellow Springs, it is very troublesome to explain, you just need to know that the place where we are now is no longer where we were when we came in!"
Zhang Feng didn't bother to explain, it was difficult to understand.
"Oh. I see, you mean that the Yin-Yang Mirror is a key, it connects the two worlds of Yin and Yang, and we have entered the Netherworld through it now, right? ”
"It's... Brother Liu deserves to be you! That's what I mean. ”
Zhang Feng didn't expect Liu Dongchen to be able to understand what he said, and he admired him a little more for a while.
"Can we get out now?"
Liu Dongchen was very uncomfortable, this was not the first time, last time he also ran to the Huangquan Gate for some reason, but he didn't expect him to be recruited again this time.
"Absolutely not going out! Brother Liu, this place is the netherworld! ”
Zhang Feng heard Liu Dongchen say that he wanted to go out, and he resolutely disagreed, he didn't know what the origin of the owner of this tomb was to build a tomb here.
But time in the netherworld is chaotic, and there are dangers everywhere, once you go out, it's hard to imagine where you will appear next time, and if you encounter another day, I'm afraid that there will be no place to die.
"So what now? You can't stay here forever, can you? ”
"It's easy, as long as we find that mirror we can go back! That's what General Kudo wants. ”
"Does Brother Zhang know how it works?"
Liu Dongchen lowered his head and groaned, if he knew how it worked, it would be easy to find it.
"I don't know about this, and it's the first time I've encountered this kind of thing."
"Okay, that's only brute-force cracking!"
"Fire Order!"
Liu Dongchen stomped on the ground with his left foot, grabbed a fire talisman between his two fingers and shouted.
"Brother Liu, what are you doing here?"
Zhang Feng was startled, what did he suddenly do with the fire talisman?
"Mirrors reflect light, and if we can get here, I'm afraid it's triggered by the fire!"
Except for this, Liu Dongchen really couldn't think of any unusual behavior from them.
"Broken!!"
Liu Dongchen aimed at the top of the tomb, if there was really a mirror, the biggest possibility would be above.
"Jingle bell..."
The chamber was lit up by a huge firelight, and there was a crisp sound above their heads.
"It's not enough! The mirror seems to be tied to a rope! ”
Zhang Feng stood directly below the Yin-Yang Mirror, and he could see it very clearly at that moment just now.
"It's not over yet! Thunder with fire! Break!! ”
"Boom!!"
Liu Dongchen shouted again, and the lightning happened to slash on the rope.
"Ding. Clang!!! ”
The fist-sized bell and the yin-yang mirror fell down together, and Zhang Feng's eyes were quick and he used his body as a meat shield to protect the mirror.
"Whew, I'm scared to death!"
Zhang Feng glanced at the mirror in his hand and breathed a sigh of relief when he found that there was no damage.
"This bell..."
Liu Dongchen picked up the bell on the ground, and there was an ancient character engraved on it, "turn", which was exactly the same as the word engraved on the jade pendant on the neck of the monster before.
"What's wrong with this bell?"
Zhang Feng leaned his head and looked at the bell in Liu Dongchen's hand, which was an ordinary bell made of brass, and there was nothing unique about it.
"It's nothing, I just think it's beautiful, I like it."
Liu Dongchen laughed lightly, he didn't plan to tell Zhang Feng about these things, and silently stuffed things into his trouser pocket.
"You like this? Okay, then you can keep it, I think this thing is weird. ”
Zhang Feng pouted, there are no treasures here, just break the mirror and bell, the mirror is good, but this is the goal this time.
"Brother Liu, do you want to see what else is inside?"
Zhang Feng pointed to the main burial chamber that they had not entered, and he was a little curious about what would be inside.
"Forget it, we may have been in here for a long time this time, and once the mercury is poisoned, it will be troublesome!"
Liu Dongchen didn't want to go in, he already felt a little unstable, and I was afraid that the gains would outweigh the losses if he continued like this.
"Okay, let's finish it first, let's go back to the errand."
Zhang Feng also noticed Liu Dongchen's abnormality, and gently supported him with one hand.
"I always had a hunch that we might do it again!"
Liu Dongchen turned his head and glanced at the main burial chamber, he didn't know what was going on, this inexplicable intuition was terrifying.
"Hey, what's so good about this eerie place? Brother Liu is afraid that he is hallucinating, so let's go. ”
Zhang Feng got goosebumps when he heard it, do it again? He doesn't want to come to this kind of place anymore, he doesn't want to live on the ground, and he thinks about drilling into the ground every day?
