Chapter 278: Taiji Gate

As soon as Ying Zheng walked into this ice-blue corridor, a biting yin wind blew in his face, which made him shudder.

Ji Fa followed and said slowly, "Don't be afraid, this is not a mechanism, it's just that this space is relatively closed, and when it suddenly opens, it will form a hedge of airflow."

Ying Zheng relieved himself and reached out to take back the torch that Jing Fan helped him hold.

"Let's go, there's a stone gate ahead." Ji Fa said, "Then the second stone gate, you won't need the dark iron snail."

"No snails...... In what way?" Ying Zheng asked softly.

"What methods have you used before?" Ji Fa asked rhetorically.

"Before...... I've also used bloody handprints." Ying Zheng muttered.

"Hehe, that's it."

Ying Zheng: "......"

It seems that he will have to take a knife.

"Master." Ying Zheng approached Ji Fa and said, "The airflow system you just mentioned is quite important to the royal tomb, but I heard Meng Yi say that if the torch is extinguished when you visit the tomb, you must not go inside, because the tomb is full of turbidity."

"Well, he's right." Ji Fa said, "The so-called turbidity gas is a foul gas that lacks oxygen, and if we inhale this turbidity, we will suffocate."

"Small tombs, naturally there are no mechanisms, let alone air flow systems, so most of them are turbid gas that has been deposited for many years, and when you encounter such a tomb, you can either wait a few more days before entering, or simply give up."

"After all, a person can last some time without food and water, but if he doesn't breathe, he won't be able to survive even half an hour, and he will die."

"That's it." Ying Zheng said, "It seems that keeping the air flow throughout the tomb is really crucial."

"Remember that mechanism on the fourth floor?" Ji Fa said, "The poisonous gas that the two stone lions spewed out of their mouths."

"Why don't you remember." Ying Zheng said, "At that time, I was so nervous, I thought that everyone else would have to be confessed there."

"It's okay to spray poison gas." Ji Fa said with a smile, "At the very least, after unlocking the mechanism, the antidote will be sprayed, and the most amazing airflow system is to drain all the air in an instant, if it is an ordinary person, it will definitely not be able to get out of this royal tomb."

Ying Zheng gasped and subconsciously looked at Jing Fan.

After all, among the three, only Jing Fan is an ordinary person.

And Ji Fa's meaning is that if the Tiancheng Yimai encounters that kind of situation, it will basically be fine.

That is to say, after breaking through the limit, the time for Tiancheng Yimai to hold his breath is much longer than before.

For this point, Ying Zheng really hasn't tried it, and he really has to give it a try when he returns to the palace.

Jing Fan naturally didn't understand the deep meaning of the two people's words, but subconsciously took two deep breaths, as if he couldn't breathe in the next moment and needed to reserve more.

Talking about it, I have come to the end of this blue passage, turned a corner, and there is another passage in front of me, but the color of the passage in front of me is slightly lighter and more spacious.

After passing through the second passage, another stone gate appeared in front of me.

This stone door is not the same as the one just now, the shape is quite strange, the two doors are in a row structure, like two combs crossed together.

In front of the stone gate, there is a tall and mighty statue of a divine beast, the face looks a little like a tiger, but the ears are long, and erect, a pair of fangs are also very thick, the eyes are not big, but a pair of pupils are slender shapes, some similar to the eyes of a poisonous snake, it looks a little cautious.

The beast's front paws are thick, its hind legs are slender, and its tail resembles an oxtail.

It has to be said that this statue is vivid, and it seems that the volume is also made according to its real size.

"It's mighty, isn't it?" Ji Fa looked at Ying Zheng and said, "But this is not a tiger."

Ying Zheng knew that this should be one of the nine guardian beasts, but Jing Fan was by his side, so naturally he didn't want to ask too much.

As Ying Zheng expected, this stone statue was indeed one of the nine guardian beasts, ranking seventh

Raccoon.

Ji Fa really didn't reveal the origin of this stone statue, and took the lead in front of the stone statue, bowing very respectfully.

Ying Zheng also took Jing Fan to bow down.

"This stone statue will also emit poisonous mist." Ji Fa stood up and said, "That's why you have to open the passage mechanism in advance."

"Where is this mechanism?" Ying Zheng approached Ji Fa and asked.

Ji Fa pointed to a nail on the left front paw of the stone statue and said, "Just drip your own blood on it."

Ying Zheng nodded, took out the dagger in his arms, then hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Do you have to do this every time you come?"

"Yes!" Ji Fa said, "If you're afraid of pain, it's okay to have a little more blood when you go back."

Ying Zheng: "......"

Cutting his finger, Ying Zheng dripped blood on the nail, but saw that the blood did not flow elsewhere, but seemed to be absorbed by the stone statue, and after only a few breaths, a few drops of blood disappeared.

Grunt.

A sound similar to swallowing emanates from the stone statue's throat.

Perhaps, this is a signal to stop the toxic smoke.

Looking at the stone door behind the stone statue, the left half of the door moved forward, and the right half of the door moved backwards, and the staggered places did not make any sound.

And with the opening of the stone door, the space inside was gradually revealed in front of the three people.

However, it was dark again, and nothing could be seen.

Ying Zheng just wanted to ask something, but saw Ji Fa walk to the back of the stone statue, slapped one of the hind legs of the stone statue with his hand a few times, and then grabbed the tail of the stone statue and pulled it in the other direction.

The tail of the stone statue moved to the other side.

This tail is actually movable, and you can't really see it on the surface.

Immediately, after hearing two gurgling sounds from the inside of the stone door, a faint light suddenly emanated from the inside of the stone door.

The light was slightly reddened, and it grew more and more intense, more and more intense.

In just a few breaths, the inside of the stone gate was already bright, and the fiery red color formed a great visual contrast with the blue brilliance outside, just like water and fire colliding together, and the stone gate was the demarcation line and the flashpoint of power.

Ying Zheng's brows moved, and the scene in front of him had a sense of déjà vu.

"Let's go." Ji Fa waved his hand, without any extra words.

Ying Zheng wanted to ask something, but he also knew that the timing was wrong, so he took Jing Fan to follow.

When he came to this stone gate, Ying Zheng found that the stone gate was very thick, but the wrong mouth at the junction was very smooth and flat, and it seemed to be carefully built with large pieces of dense stone.

After stepping through the stone gate, there was also a stream of air blowing, but it was not a cloudy wind, but a warm current, and it felt quite comfortable.

And the temperature of this red channel is obviously higher than the blue channel just now, I don't know if it is related to the change in color.

"You can put out all the torches, and only the old man will be kept." Ji reminded in a loud voice.

Ying Zheng and Jing Fan responded at the same time, extinguished the torch together, and continued to walk forward with Ji Fa.

I don't know why, walking in the blue passage just now, Ying Zheng's mood was quite happy, and he didn't feel nervous, but after walking into this red passage, he felt more and more uneasy and anxious, so he quickly calmed down and controlled his emotions.

After all, he had broken through the limit, and Ying Zheng's emotions could be adjusted quickly, and after the irritability was eliminated, he turned his head to look at Jing Fan, but saw that a few drops of cold sweat had already flowed down Jing Fan's forehead, and his breathing was slightly short.

Ji Fa stopped, took out a bag from his bosom and handed it to Jing Fan: "The red pill in this, you take one first, and then take the next one every quarter of an hour until we walk out."

Jing Fan nodded, didn't ask much, opened the bag and ate one.

In the past six months, Jing Fan has been almost inseparable from Ji Fa in Lishan, and he admires Ji Fa in his heart

and reverence, which can be completely used to worship

Description, so what Ji Fa said, he would not have any doubts at all.

"Drink some water and calm down." Ji Fa said to Jing Fan, "The environment here is indeed easy to make people restless, as long as you think of something interesting, you will be fine."

"Okay." Jing Fan nodded and said with a smile, "Let's keep going, it's not a problem."

Ji Fa glanced at Jing Fan with encouraging eyes, and then continued to walk forward with the two of them.

The length of the red corridor seemed to be about the same as the blue corridor just now, and at the end of the corner, a third stone gate finally appeared in front of it.

The shape of this stone gate is more peculiar, the whole is round, inside is a Tai Chi pattern, the yang fish and the yin fish are arranged on the left and right, it seems to be made of black and white two kinds of dense stones.

In front of the Taiji Gate, there is a life-size portrait, with a somewhat blurred face, dressed as a general, waving a long sword in his right hand, pointing straight to the sky, holding the scabbard tied to his waist with his left hand, and standing in a T-shaped step with his feet one after the other.

Looking at this statue, Ying Zheng muttered, "Master, this statue can't be also a mechanism, right?"

"Huh." Ji Fa smiled and said, "It seems that your reasoning ability is much stronger than before."

Ji Fa's words are tantamount to acquiescence, this stone statue is also a mechanism to open the Taiji stone gate in front.

Ying Zheng took out the dagger again a little helplessly, and was about to cut his fingers, but Ji Fa complained beside him: "Just after praising you, your brain is muddy, didn't the old man say before, these three stone doors are opened in different ways, so you don't need your blood this time."

"Oh." Ying Zheng answered, put away the dagger, and didn't have to be knifed, he was naturally happy in his heart, so he asked with a smile, "Then how should this mechanism be opened?"

"Where's your Xuanyuan Sword?" Ji Fa asked.

The secret of the Xuanyuan sword, there is no need to carry Jing Fan on his back, I think Jing Fan also referred to this sword at the beginning, and imitated a golden sword for Hu Yu.

Ying Zheng untied the ribbon wrapped around his waist and took out the Xuanyuan Sword wrapped inside.

Under the reflection of the red light, the golden light flashed by the Xuanyuan Sword also looked quite demonic.

"Pull out the Xuanyuan Sword, *** in the scabbard in the hand of the stone statue, this mechanism can be activated." Ji Fa pointed to the left hand of the stone statue and said.

"Okay." Ying Zheng pulled out his golden sword and walked towards the stone statue.

But when Yingzheng was still about a foot away from the statue, he suddenly felt a buzzing sound in his ears, and a sudden tinnitus made him have a splitting headache, and his mind was in a trance, and then he knelt on one knee, and his expression was quite painful.

"Your Majesty!" Jing Fan didn't know what happened to Ying Zheng, so he subconsciously wanted to run to support Ying Zheng, but was stopped by Ji Fa raising his hand.

At this moment, Xuanyuan Sword seemed to tremble slightly, and then the sword body suddenly flashed with a dense golden light, which extended along Ying Zheng's arm to Ying Zheng's whole body.

Ying Zheng's pupils suddenly regained clarity, and the buzzing sound in his ears disappeared, he pressed his hand on his knees, and stood up straight again, feeling the induction between him and Xuanyuan Sword.

Looking at Ying Zheng, who was covered in a faint golden light, Jing Fan was stunned.

Is this golden sword so magical?

I have never seen it before!

Ying Zheng calmed down and walked slowly towards the stone statue again, and this time, he was not disturbed in any way.

Walking to the foot of the stone statue, Ying Zheng carefully observed the left hand of the stone statue holding the scabbard, and it seemed that this arm was much thicker than the normal arm, and even thicker than the right hand of the stone statue.

didn't have time to think about it, Ying Zheng followed Ji Fa's instructions and slowly inserted the Xuanyuan sword in his hand into the scabbard of the stone statue.

However, after a few breaths, there was no reaction.

But just when Yingzheng turned his head and wanted to ask Ji Fa, he only heard a "quack".

The Taiji Gate opened a crack.
