Chapter Twenty-Five: Nine Dead Soul Restoration Grass

The story says that when Di Yao saw that there was only one sun left in the sky, and Hou Yi wanted to shoot the last arrow, Di Yao hurriedly pulled all the remaining arrows from Hou Yi's quiver. In this way, Hou Yi was reminded that if there was to leave a sun, the world would become dark. Bai Xueying wanted to tell the central idea of this story, but she couldn't find it accurately, and she didn't know how to speak for a while.

"I see." Qi Chengxuan stepped forward and turned the black feather arrow inserted in the hole clockwise, and sure enough, he heard a rumbling movement under his feet. Qi Chengxuan pulled out the black feather arrow. At the same time, the sarcophagus in the burial chamber slowly pushed open, and a bottomless underground passage appeared, and there was a line of large characters on the side wall of the sarcophagus.

"The bitter sea is boundless, and the shore is the back..."Bai Xue Ying felt a trace of indifference in her heart.

"I think this is the owner of the tomb reminding us." Qi Chengxuan said vigilantly, his tone much heavier.

"This tomb owner is already very merciful, if we don't follow her ideas to solve this three-leaf labyrinth, I think we will never be able to get out, and we didn't come to rob the tomb in the first place." Bai Xueying had mixed feelings in her heart at this time.

"Don't think about it so much yet, let's go out and think about it again." Qi Chengxuan got up to see if there was anything missing.

"Hmm" Bai Xueying didn't think about it so much, but looking at the dark underground corridor, he was still terrified.

"Bai Xue Sakura, although this is a fantasy realm, but the real thing here is beyond the capacity of our brains, and it is impossible for us to imagine such a delicate catacombs with our current knowledge and life insights. I didn't want to say it, but for our safety, I'll tell you. I think we've long since strayed from the illusion. In other words, we are out of body and what is happening to us at the moment is real. Qi Chengxuan still told Bai Xue Ying after careful consideration.

"What are you talking about, what kind of out-of-body soul, I still believe in dreams, if the soul is out of body, then if we can't go back to reality, then it's just..."

"It's hard for me to explain this at the moment, go back and ask Miyagi, he should know that we are okay at the moment, he should just guard our bedside." Qi Chengxuan didn't know how to explain it.

"We're at the bedside?" Bai Xueying felt a little embarrassed and puzzled.

"We're going down this road now, and the location corresponding to this road is the Southern Vermilion Bird, and I don't know what danger there is inside. But I have to tell you, no matter what danger comes your way, you have to stay calm and follow me closely. If you die of a heart attack in this tomb, I may not be able to go back! Qi Chengxuan pressed her shoulder and solemnly explained.

For the first time, Bai Xueying seriously raised her head and looked at the handsome young man in front of her with wide eyes, she wanted to tell him with her eyes that he would become brave and strong and walk out of here with him.

Qi Chengxuan was relieved to hold the flashlight, clenched Bai Xueying's hand, and slowly went down to the underground corridor. As we went deeper and deeper, the light saw dead branches and vines everywhere I looked. In my ears was the sound of the whirring wind, and the smell of rot and fishy smell mixed with the wind blew into the corridor. The two couldn't help but cover their mouths and noses.

After walking for about half an hour, the two stopped in a wide underground cave~. The horizon instantly widened. A white light casts overhead, and the size of the cave can be seen in a dense view. The two of them were pleasantly surprised. Shine a flashlight on it, and watch as the huge vines are deeply embedded in the stone walls on both sides of the cave. Countless slender whisker-like roots fluttered in the wind like ghosts. There seemed to be some rotting animal carcasses inside the roots. The place where the light came in was an outcropping hole the size of a wellhead, and it should be late at night outside, and the light was the afterglow of the moonlight.

"Look there's a hole in there!" Bai Xue Sakura pointed to the top of her head in surprise.

"Don't shout!" Qi Chengxuan hurriedly went up and covered her mouth and reminded her to look around. It's okay not to look at it, but this time, Bai Xueying is so frightened that I'm afraid I'm going to faint.

If Qi Chengxuan hadn't covered her mouth, she would definitely scream. I saw that the whole body was densely packed with indescribable bones, and countless bones were piled up on the edge of the cave, depending on the degree of decay and clothing.

Qi Chengxuan hurriedly grabbed Bai Xueying's empty ground and took it away. The cave is surrounded by numerous large and small circular black holes.

Then I heard the sound of Sososo, and countless man-eating vines crept out of those black holes.

The two of them stopped, covering their mouths and noses, and they didn't dare to breathe. The man-eating vines realized that there was no prey and slowly withdrew their heads.

"This should be the burial pit, be careful of the corpse." Qi Chengxuan reminded in a low voice.

"There should be a big banyan tree on it, and there are man-eating vines, I'm afraid we won't be able to go up." Bai Xue Sakura said worriedly.

"Look at it carefully." Qi Chengxuan once again shone the light of the flashlight to the entrance of the cave, and Bai Xueying opened her eyes wide to find that there was a modern hemp rope hanging from the wellhead above, but the hemp rope had been broken in mid-air.

"This is a thief cave that appeared in an unknown year and month, and it can go directly to the ancient tomb, but even if you get the burial weapon, you don't have the life to go out and spend it." After Qi Chengxuan finished speaking, he glanced at the mountains of corpses and bones around him.

"Let's see if there's another exit." Qi Chengxuan pulled Bai Xue Ying to the center of the low-lying burial pit.

"Daystar, look there!" Bai Xueying lowered her voice, Qi Chengxuan looked at the position of her fingers.

I saw that there was a dead huge tree stump in the center of the burial pit, and below the stump was a bottomless wellhead, and the edge of the deep pit was a stone brick built by man, and the stone brick was carved with the goddess of the moon, the double dragon pierced the wall, and the turtle and owl pattern. You can see stone stairs spiraling down one by one.

"There was supposed to be a tree here, and this should be the spiral staircase. Below, if I'm not mistaken, it should be the main burial chamber. Qi Chengxuan pointed to the mouth of the well with a solemn expression.

"Do we have to go down? I think this is the entrance to hell. You've forgotten the statue of Zhong Kui we just came in and saw, maybe it's the suppression of what's underneath. Bai Xue Sakura was frightened, standing beside the bottomless pit and trying to retreat. This is a normal reaction of the human spirit after being under high pressure all the time, after the curiosity about the unknown is exhausted, there is more fear of the unknown, not to mention going deep into the unknown depths of the earth.

"Bai Xue Sakura, I usually look at you murdering me, it's not very powerful, but now I know I'm scared." Qi Chengxuan wanted to laugh when he saw Bai Xueying's timid mouse-like appearance.

Suddenly, there was a whirring wind in the deep pit, roaring like a ghost, irritating people's eardrums. Qi Chengxuan pulled Bai Xue Ying to the side, only to see that in the black hole on the stone wall around him, all the man-eating vines gushed out, entangled with each other, and soon filled the entire cave space.

"What's going on?!" Qi Chengxuan was looking around with all his body and noticed that there was an extra dagger in his hand, and asked Bai Xue Ying behind him curiously.

Bai Xueying shook her head, indicating that she didn't know either.

"Let's go down!" Qi Chengxuan took out two more ropes, found a raised stone, and wrapped the other end of the rope around Bai Xueying's waist and the other end around his waist.

"Remember, when you wait, be careful not to fall. Don't let go of the rope at any time, and if it's not the main burial chamber below, we'll climb up the rope. After Qi Chengxuan finished explaining, he motioned to Bai Xueying to go to the front first, and he took care of it from behind. Watching the picture of the cannibal vine slowly climbing all over the burial pit, the two people couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, if they didn't go down, I am afraid that the two of them were also part of the bones.

"Let's go!" Qi Chengxuan had just walked to the edge of the pit when he suddenly heard someone calling his name again.

"Xuan Xuan, Xuan Xuan..." Qi Chengxuan heard a familiar voice and looked up to see a beautiful woman standing under the cherry blossom tree not far in front of him, smiling at him. The cherry blossoms are flying, they are very beautiful, and the mother's smile is so sweet.

"Mom! Mother! Is that you?! I'm here! I'm here! Qi Chengxuan saw that it was his familiar mother, and shouted excitedly.

"Qi Chengxuan, you read it wrong, that's not an aunt!" Bai Xue Ying looked at the ugly female ghost in red who was shuddering and laughing. She appeared in front of her again. She stood behind Qi Chengxuan, not daring to look directly at the hateful female ghost in red. She felt like she was about to have a heart attack at any moment. But at this moment, Qi Chengxuan was in her way, and she couldn't ignore it.

It was too late to say that it was too fast, and countless man-eating vines swept towards the two of them. Qi Chengxuan seemed to see his mother brutally devoured by the man-eating vine. He cried and tried to rush over.

"Qi Chengxuan, you're crazy!" Bai Xue Sakura slapped him in the face a few times.

Qi Chengxuan suddenly stopped crying, but he didn't know if he was overly sad, and he seemed to have inhaled too much corpse qi because of yelling, and sat on the ground in a state of malaise.

"Get up! Qi Chengxuan, they're coming! Bai Xue Ying looked at the man-eating vine that was getting closer and closer, and she had no choice but to help Qi Chengxuan to try to go down the steps of the deep pit. The spiral staircase is close to the stone wall, only for one person to pass, and the slope of the steps is nearly 90 degrees, and it will fall down if it is not small.

In order to keep her body balanced, Bai Xue Ying re-untied the rope that was paralyzed Qi Chengxuan behind her, put Qi Chengxuan on her back, and tied the rope tightly to the two of them again, so that even if they fell, the two of them could be together. Bai Xue Sakura looked up and saw countless man-eating vines gathered at the entrance of the cave, as if they were afraid of something, and did not chase them deeply. Bai Xueying also tied the flashlight to her waist, and she used ten thin fingers to clasp firmly into the gap in the stone bricks. In this way, he dragged Qi Chengxuan down step by step on the spiral staircase that was tight enough for one person. She didn't dare to look down, for fear that one would fall into the unknown darkness if she was not careful.

She didn't know how many steps she had descended, and by this time she was sweating profusely, and it was obvious that she was no longer able to do it.

At the corner of a spiral staircase, she felt the moist moss, a bush with a thick arm growing from a broken stone brick, its lush foliage reflecting the green luster and its tenacious vitality in the faint light.

There were a few palm-sized evergreen herbaceous ferns growing next to the shrub plants, and Bai Xue Ying grabbed the body of the shrub plants with one hand, and touched and identified those plants with the other hand, and couldn't help but exclaim: "It's the Nine Dead Soul Rejuvenation Grass!" ”

So she hurriedly turned her head and shouted Qi Chengxuan on her back, Qi Chengxuan was confused and his consciousness would not be very clear. Bai Xue Ying pulled out the original rope from Qi Chengxuan's waist and tied it to the root of the thick bush, slowly untied Qi Chengxuan from his back, fixed it to the stone wall with the rope on the bush, and pressed his arms against his staggered head. Bai Xueying quickly grabbed a few handfuls of the Nine Dead Soul Restoration Grass with her hands, put them in her mouth and chewed them a few times, and fed the grass juice to Qi Chengxuan's mouth, and made a few movements in one go without hesitation.

"Daystar, hey! Qi Chengxuan, wake up! "Bai Xue Ying saw that the Nine Dead Resurrection Grass seemed to have an effect on Qi Chengxuan, and hurriedly tried to wake him up." Phew, what a taste, it's bitter to death! Before Qi Chengxuan opened his eyes, he felt a bitter taste running through his internal organs, and his body began to move violently.

"Be careful, don't move!" Bai Xueying wanted to appease Qi Chengxuan, who had just woken up, but the other party didn't seem to notice where she was in danger. So Bai Xue Sakura stood on tiptoe and kissed him tenderly on the mouth. The unique sweet smell in the girl's mouth seemed to make Qi Chengxuan a lot quieter, and he seemed to enjoy such a sudden feeling. Bai Xueying saw that he was quiet, and then left his moist lips.

Qi Chengxuan opened his eyes, and the scene in front of him made him gasp. You can only obediently listen to Bai Xueying's words and don't move.

"What did you feed me just now? It's a little bitter and a little sweet..."Qi Chengxuan licked his mouth, narrowed his slender single eyelid, and felt unfinished thinking about the scene just now, and his wheat-colored skin was a little flushed.

"Yes, it's the Nine Dead Soul Rejuvenation Herb, a Chinese patent medicine, that just happens to be a symptom of you." Bai Xue Ying pressed against the wall, twisting her blushing face to the side, not daring to look at Qi Chengxuan's eyes.

"Oh, thank you for saving me. I seem to have seen my mother just now... ”

"It's that dirty thing, using a trick on you."

"Oh, then I'm fine now, so let's go ahead and explore the way, and you follow me behind."

"Okay, I got it." The relationship between the two is very delicate now, and the atmosphere is extremely awkward.

Qi Chengxuan changed the position to the back of Bai Xue Ying, wrapped the rope around his waist, because the slope of the spiral ladder was too steep, Qi Chengxuan asked Bai Xue Ying to learn from himself, not to entangle the rope around his waist, but to lie on the stone steps, and retreat down the ladder. In this way, the strength of the person's center of gravity is dispersed on the limbs, although this posture is very indecent, but it can ensure that the two of them can climb down the spiral ladder smoothly without the danger of falling into the pit.

Not long after the two of them went down the spiral ladder, Qi Chengxuan stopped Bai Xue Sakura, and it turned out that a section of the steps down was also covered with moss. If one is not careful, the two of them may slip and slip. Qi Chengxuan wrapped the rope on his body around the shrubs that grew through the cracks of the stone bricks on the other wall, hoping to use his strength to allow the two of them to successfully pass this slippery staircase.

Not long after the two of them successfully passed, Qi Chengxuan saw a familiar girl's figure appear above the spiral staircase. He didn't dare to take a closer look, if he didn't guess wrong, it must have been the female ghost who came to interfere with him just now. But if she has been following herself and Bai Xue Ying, Bai Xue Ying may also be confused by her, and the lives of the two of them will really have to be explained in this ancient tomb. So he had an idea and shouted at Bai Xue Ying: "Hey, it's a little bit! ”

"What! You want to scare me to death," Shirayuki Sakura was startled by the sound of her yelling.

"Let's memorize the three-character scripture!" Qi Chengxuan threw out such a sentence inexplicably.

"Huh? You are not mistaken! Bai Xueying was lying on the steps, looking back at him with ugly eyes.

"Come on. Just cheer each other up, it can also improve our concentration, and besides, if you are so timid, you can also give you courage!"

As the stone wall continues to expand outward, the slope of the steps under your feet is much lower. Qi Chengxuan looked up and saw that there was no figure above, and he couldn't help but be secretly proud in his heart.

The Buddhist scriptures Tao Te Ching only works on the ghosts, can the ghosts really understand, it can't be a kind of linguistic deterrence. China has been around for 5,000 years and has a profound cultural connotation. Whether it is the Three Character Sutra or Tang poems, as long as the rhyme is appropriate, no matter where he is, the demon will not dare to approach him. In this way, the two of them successfully descended most of the heavenly steps.
