Chapter 87: Zhangjia Tezuka
The stone path outside the cave was full of Huo family members.
When Zhang Qixun walked over, a Huo family member wearing a gas mask who couldn't see his appearance grabbed his trouser leg and said, "Cough up...... Savior......
He struggled to speak, desperately restraining the frequency of his breathing, the useful aging of the protective clothing on his body had passed for a long time, and the hand holding Zhang Qixun was trembling.
Zhang Qixun carefully identified it, and only then did he recognize this person as Huo Chushi.
Taking out a bottle of oxygen from his backpack and stuffing it into his hand to save himself, Zhang Ji got up to look at the others behind him.
Huo Xiangu had completely lost consciousness, even if Huo Chushi put her last protective suit on her, she was old and frail, she couldn't withstand the erosion of the poisonous gas, and even the surface of her skin began to seep blood.
When Zhang Qixun woke her up, Huo Xiangu didn't know where the strength came from, and suddenly grabbed the clothes on Zhang Qixun's chest, and struggled to "ho ho" a few times, but she couldn't speak, and finally even spewed out a faint black blood mist, and her cloudy eyes stared straight at him, with a hint of pleading in her eyes.
"Don't worry, you won't be able to die for the time being." Zhang Qixun put oxygen on her and handed over the person to the poisonous immortal Xiao Qiang Huo Chu Shi, who had recovered from his recovery.
The fat man leaned on the innermost part of the stone road, his eyes were misty and half-open, and when he saw Zhang Qi coming over, he immediately grabbed him, anxiously wanting to say something.
Zhang Qixun made a gesture of hissing, handed him a reassuring look, whispered a few words in his ear, and then put his hand on his neck in his disbelievable eyes.
After more than ten seconds, the fat man completely fainted with a stomach full of questions.
There was no poisonous gas spreading in the cave for the time being, Zhang Qixun took off the old protective clothing on his body, took out three sturdier new protective suits from his backpack and put them on him, put a gas mask on him, and put two backpacks next to him, which were full of food and first aid equipment, as well as a trap box containing a map, and finally covered him with a thin blanket.
The little brother watched them silently behind him.
Zhang Qixun looked back and saw that the Huo family members had already supported each other to stand up, so they also got up, and everyone was silent and did not speak.
"We've found the exit, let's go." Zhang Qixun said lightly.
Huo Xiaoli looked left and right, and said weakly in a low voice: "There are two people missing, Brother Lanqiao and Brother Jin Qiu are not there, they seem to have entered the cave in front to look for you before the poisonous gas spreads." ”
These two people are the Huo family that the fat man brought in later, the fat man brought in a total of four Huo family members, three of them were the suspects of Zhang Qixun, and the one who died in the quicksand is probably Huo Lanqiao, Huo Jinqiu is missing, which makes Zhang Qixun a little worried, after all, it is a bomb.
But as soon as the words fell, Huo Xiuxiu opened her mouth, "Huo Jinqiu died, fell into the waterhole of the cave and drowned." ”
This seems to be said to Zhang Qixun and the little brother.
It seems that there was indeed some kind of conflict outside before, and this fake Huo Xiuxiu killed people directly.
Zhang Qixun looked at Huo Xiaoli and the last remaining suspect, this person is a girl, called Huo Xiaoyao or Huo Xiaoxiao, I didn't remember the name, the reason why I was suspicious was because this person was Huo Jinqiu's sister.
Her brother is gone, but she is not in a hurry at all, and her attitude is very indifferent.
But Zhang Qixun is not in a hurry, he is going to die anyway.
Zhang Qixun and the little brother took the lead in walking to the cave, Huo Xiaoli turned his head to look at the fat man who was sleeping peacefully, "Don't you care about the fat man?" ”
"You seem to have a lot of words." Zhang Qixun turned his head and stared at him with scrutinizing eyes.
Huo Xiaoli subconsciously shrunk his neck, and was silent for a long time, without saying anything more.
Zhang Qixun spoke again and said coldly: "If you want to enter the Zhangjia Ancient Mansion and want to get out of here, let me honestly control my mouth, otherwise don't blame me for sewing it up with a needle and thread when the time comes." ”
Everyone was silent, packed up their equipment as quickly as possible, followed the little brother, and walked into the cave one by one.
Zhang Qixun walked at the end to prevent someone from hacking the unconscious fat man.
After drilling into the crack, they walked along the lava stone path that they had come out of before, but only Zhang Qixun and the little brother knew that they were not walking the same way before.
Because the road before was flat, but now they are taking Huo Xiangu and them on a road with a downward slope, that is to say, the road that came out of the main hall in front has been blocked by the mechanism itself, and they are now under that road.
It's a long road, more than anyone can imagine.
Due to the heavy injuries they had suffered before, they had to stop and rest for a while.
"Where are we going?" Huo Xiuxiu asked questions on behalf of her grandmother.
"The auxiliary building of the Zhangjia Ancient Building." Zhang Qi said, "Our current location is in the annex building of the ancient building, from here down to the appropriate position, through the annex building, take a shortcut to the auxiliary building." ”
The auxiliary building is a building that assists the construction of the main building, distributed around the main building, and the structure of the main building is connected together when it is built, the building complex of the ancient building of Zhangjia is a semi-enclosed structure, and the ancient building at the bottom of the lake is the same, there is only a serious entrance, and other places are set up with organs.
But the Zhang family has also set up a reminder fault tolerance mechanism for the descendants with bad memories, and this is already the scope of the Zhangjia Ancient Building, and there is no Milota.
Therefore, Zhang Qixun and the two of them plan to take people to start from below, like a groundhog making a hole, through the mechanism pipes connected between the floors, climb in layer by layer, and after really entering the auxiliary building, they can go down from the top of the ancient building.
After a short rest, the group moved on.
I don't know how deep it went, and finally, the little brother in front of him stopped and glanced back at Zhang Qixun, who had fallen in the last direction.
"Arrived?" Zhang Qixun squeezed sideways past the Huo family and came to the little brother's side.
As far as the eye can see, there is a large space here, they seem to be shrouded in a huge Van bell, and at the foot is a platform about two meters wide, and there are eight more of the same platform in the entire range of the bell, and the stone platform is suspended on the cliff, and the bottom is pitch black and bottomless.
Zhang Qixun's heart was inexplicably a little panicked, and he didn't know what was there, that terrible dream had always pierced a deep thorn in his heart.
Huo Chushi took out a flare gun and shot it out, and the entire bell-shaped space was illuminated as bright as day.
Almost all of them took a breath of cool air, and they saw a number of stout chains, extending from the two stone pillars the size of water tanks standing beside them, attached like a chain bridge to a spiral staircase suspended in the center.
If you look closely, the revolving staircase is all made of these chains extending from the stone platform, and these thick iron chains have all been embalmed.
The structure here is completely hollowed out of the middle of a mountain, resembling an inverted ice cream egg cone, and the dome above is a stone carving with a painted nine-petal lotus fresco, which is very sacred and solemn.
The signal flare was quickly extinguished, and Huo Chushi wanted to fight again, but was stopped by Zhang Qixun, "You don't need to look at it, you can only climb over the chain, there is no shortcut." ”
Everyone immediately took action, took out the safety rope, and tied it around their waists to prevent themselves from falling off the force halfway.
The old rule is that Zhang Qixun and the two of them take the lead.
But this time, the little brother stopped Zhang Qi to find it, signaled himself to go first, and then jumped and stood on one of the chains, ignoring the tremor of the chains due to the pressure, and directly raised his legs and walked to the stairs in the center, unhurried, but without half thinking and hesitating.
The children of the Zhang family will practice the skills of walking in the air, but when they are young, they do not walk this kind of thick chain, but the steel wire that can bear their weight to the maximum extent, and when they encounter a very difficult and uncertain coffin, they will use this method to hang themselves in the air, and start directly from the top of the coffin.
This method not only pays attention to the integration of waist and horse, but also tests people's flexibility and kung fu, in fact, it is a bit similar to the traditional tomb robbers' fighting techniques, but what is more bullish than their fork is that the Zhang family children can use two fingers to take out anything they want from it, or kill the dangerous creatures inside.
Under the frightened gaze of the Huo family, the little brother quickly arrived at the place, made a gesture at Zhang Qixun with his backhand, and then walked directly up the chain ladder.
Zhang Qixun also stepped on this iron chain, with his balance and core control ability, walking on it is flat and stable, almost no difference from the flat ground, the chain will only bend with the change of footsteps in the process of stepping on it, but the actual shaking amplitude is very slight.
After he passed, he didn't expect that the third one to walk was Huo Xiangu, although she also tied a safety rope around her waist, but this kind of hanging road was not very difficult for her, after all, Huo Xiangu slept on a thin rope when she was young.
The women of the Huo family have practiced a very special soft skill since they were young, which can make the range of motion of their joints in the whole body much beyond the ordinary range of activities, so the women of the Huo family are very soft, like a snake with soft bones.
On the other hand, the rest of the Huo family is not good, including the fake Huo Xiuxiu, those people are hanging under the chains like cockroaches, crawling over with their hands and feet.
Spiraling up the chain ladder, I got closer and looked closer, only to find that there were particularly special lines on the nine-petal lotus, and those lines were actually human faces huddled together, without joy or sorrow, but with expressionless faces and making a gesture of looking up together.
The gaze of these faces converges in the very center of the lotus, the area directly above the staircase, and the dome encloses the petals and faces like an eggshell.
The dizziness of the high places can make people mistakenly think that these flowery faces are gradually moving closer to the center, and the head feels more dizzy after staring at it for a long time.
The little brother stood on the top steps, stretched out his hand and directly clamped the nine-eyed lotus heart in the center, twisted his arm, and turned the thing he was carrying.
There was a click, and the sound of the machine running came from overhead.
After a few moments, the nine-petaled lotus flower split into nine blades and shrank towards the edges, revealing a round hole slightly larger than a basketball.
The little brother didn't hesitate, grabbed the edge and drilled out directly.
The rest of the people followed Zhang Qixun and came to the mezzanine above.
This mezzanine is made of volcanic rock, which can block the access of the outer Milotha.
The walls of the mezzanine are carved out of a number of semicircular niches, which are scattered, and almost all of the niches on three walls contain small sarcophagi in the shape of long boxes, one layer after the other.
Zhang Qixun recognized this kind of thing, this is the hand mound of the Zhang family, and he had also seen this kind of stone box when he was funeral for the sacrificial Zhang family in the ancestral hall of the mountain behind his home.
The ancestral hall is built on the mountain, usually these mounds are placed in the interior of the mountain, at that time it was for a person who went out to deal with an emergency and died in an accident to build a mound, the oldest Zhang family members in the clan have come out, and it is the most senior few who will be sent to the group mound, and other people who go out on tasks will not be recalled, but the people who were at home at that time, regardless of age, had to stay in the ancestral hall.
Xu has never been able to find traces of the Zhang family's patriarch, and overseas Zhang family talents have temporarily established a resettlement point for their souls to return to their hometown.
What can be placed here must be a few not very important branches of the Zhang family, and they are not accumulated over the years, such a large-scale tezuka can only show that there was some kind of war between super forces at that time, so it led to the death of many Zhang family members who dealt with this matter.
When he arrived here, the little brother's expression also became solemn and solemn.
There are really enough gods and ghosts that they have seen along the way, and the Huo family is afraid that there is something terrible behind the tezuka here, so they don't dare to touch it, and before they see the most valuable coffin, they have to honestly put it away, so they go straight to the fourth wall.
There was a tomb door more than three meters high over there, and several Huo family members tried to push it, but found that the tomb door was very heavy, and it was difficult to push it with their strength.
Zhang Qixun looked at the iron ring above the tomb door, and deeply suspected that these Huo family members used to use special methods to find out the approximate location of the main tomb from the top of the tomb, and then make a hole of sufficient size from above, and hang it into it with kung fu, no wonder the status of girls in the Huo family is generally higher than that of boys, after all, people have high kung fu.
The tomb of these men is purely to go in to share the soup and make soy sauce, it is estimated that if the location of the main tomb is not accurate, there will be times when they come in handy, no wonder Huo Xiuxiu said that although the men of the Huo family are among the best in appearance, they are always missing a key tendon in their brains.
"Waste snacks." Zhang Qixun muttered, and pushed aside the Huo family, who were sticking to the door and suffocating their ears and necks.
Although several Huo family members were not convinced, they did not dare to refute.
"Come, come here." Zhang Qixun estimated the height, turned around and casually clicked on one of the Huo family members, "It's you, don't rub it off, come over quickly." ”
Good night maca baka~
