Chapter 8: Entering the Door of Death
Cui Hao's eyes widened, he stretched out his hand and pointed at my nose and shouted, "Little Manye, you hurt me!" ”
He rubbed his hair frantically, and the hairstyle he had made at a high price was instantly rubbed.
"Don't take your buddies with you if you're looking for death! Fat man, I still want to live! I haven't even married a girl, and my life is not complete. I confessed to this hellish place at a young age, how can I be willing? ”
I reached out and patted him on the shoulder, and grabbed his big arm and dragged Cui Hao up.
"Fatty, who said you would die here? It's just that there is a ninety percent chance of not being here, so I'll give you a psychological warning in advance. ”
Cui Hao raised a smile, and the corners of his mouth immediately collapsed again.
He continued to pull at his hair, and forcibly cut off a few strands.
"It's better not to say this, doesn't this almost sentence us to death?"
Cui Hao patted his ass and stood up, his face full of tragedy and depression about to die.
"Hey, his grandmother has a leg, and I'm still a good man in eighteen years!"
Cui Hao reached out and grabbed my shoulder, and reached out and clicked on the eight tombstones.
"Even if I die, I can't go down to see my parents with a single stick. Xiao Manye, you picked up the matter, even if I want to go to see the king of Hades, I have to bring a little daughter-in-law. ”
Cui Hao didn't know what he was putting in his head every day.
I glared at him.
"Okay, if there is a female ghost buried in it, I will dig three feet into the ground and I will dig it out for you. You just carry it all the way, and when you die, I'll bury you two in a pit, okay? ”
Cui Hao jumped up.
"Come on, huh? Let me carry a female corpse on my back, you might as well smack me all at once! ”
I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with him.
I dragged Cui Hao to the eight tombstones.
"Cui Hao, seriously. These eight tombs should be set up here with the position of gossip, the so-called gossip divides life and death, and the scene is sad. If we can find a way to live, we should be saved. ”
Cui Hao slapped me on the shoulder.
"Little Manye, it deserves to be you. Why didn't I think of this layer? ”
He slapped his head and pulled a compass from his body.
Kan is the door of rest, and the door of the view is left;
The earthquake is a wounded door, and the door is shocked;
Xun is the peony gate, Kun is the door of death;
Gen is the door of life, and dry is the door to open.
Of the eight gates, there are three of them.
The three doors of opening, rest and birth are auspicious, and the entry can be turned into a disaster.
Death, shock, and injury are the three doors of murder, and the entry is either death or injury.
Dumen and Jingmen are in the middle of the peace, life and death are mixed, and it all depends on the cultivation skills of the person who walks in.
If we want to find the real entrance, we must choose to enter through Jimen, and the best one is to choose Shengmon.
That is, the northeast orientation.
Cui Hao circled in place and shook the compass for a while.
A moment later.
The compass Tianchi pointer sinks, pointing exactly northeast.
"Little Manye, the birth gate is here! I'll just say that we shouldn't die, and the fat man will take you out of here. ”
After speaking, the fat man triumphantly stepped on the tombstone corresponding to the Shengmen.
Each of the eight tombstones has different carvings.
The main cup plate of the tombstone of Shengmen is engraved only with the date of death, and there is no name on it.
There are four pairs of stele pillars on both sides, there are flying dragons and flying phoenixes circling around it, and the carving is lifelike, just like a living thing.
The top of the stele is carved with a tile-covered moire, and the two sides fly up to the sky, and the roll is like a coiled dragon standing in the sky.
The two sides are provided with counterparts.
The left book "Liang Shan Guixiang Cheng is angry".
The right book "Jade Water Tibetan Wind Eternal Auspicious".
The meaning is auspicious, but it seems to be a door.
However, looking at this pattern of dragons and phoenixes, an extremely solemn uneasiness suddenly rose in my heart.
Cui Hao doesn't seem to perceive this.
He took a few steps forward and reached out to touch the tombstone.
No sooner had his fingers touched the main tablet than there was a sound of a mechanism underneath it.
The next second.
The tombstone slid backwards, revealing a wide hole about one square meter square under the stonestone.
The cave was so dark that it was impossible to see what was inside.
Cui Hao looked at me excitedly, turned around and walked towards the cave.
"Let's go, go inside, this should be the entrance."
As he spoke, he took out a rope from his body, tied it to a pillar beside him, and threw the other end into the hollow.
Immediately, Cui Hao grabbed the rope and slid down, and disappeared in front of me in a few moments.
The mountain breeze blows.
The dark and empty hole churned outward, and there was a cold, damp smell of blood.
"It doesn't smell right."
I immediately shouted at the entrance of the cave.
"Fatty, are you going down? Something is wrong in this hole, you come out first. ”
I'm not quiet.
But after I finished shouting, the cave was quiet, and Cui Hao didn't respond.
The strong smell of blood grew stronger and stronger, rushing from below and rushing straight to my face.
"Something is wrong, this place is not right."
I hurriedly pulled out my compass and quickly turned the pointer.
The hands spun rapidly, and soon landed in the same northeast direction.
This is the Yin and Yang Tomb, the place of the dead.
I took out the Joyama stone and placed it on the pointer.
Joyama Stone is a treasure that I acquired from someone else a long time ago.
It was a strange stone found by a foundry craftsman.
There is a magnetic field on the ground, which can lead the compass to orient the southeast and northwest.
However, if there is interference from other things, it is very easy to make mistakes.
The rocks will cancel out the interference of other magnetic fields, allowing the north needle to point in the right direction.
I turned the Tianchi hand again.
The hands rotated rapidly, moving side-to-side between the two forces.
In the end, it turned out to point in the opposite direction.
"Southwest? No, if this second time refers to the northeast direction, it means that the position pointed by the fat man's compass just now is southwest. ”
I suddenly felt bad.
The so-called southwest direction is the door of death.
The rest of the magnetic field in this place is used as interference, which interferes with the pointing of the compass.
Cui Hao's compass pointed in the wrong direction, leading him to the tombstone corresponding to the Death Gate.
If this continues, it will definitely die for life.
"Fatty, Cui Hao, can you hear me?"
I rushed to the entrance of the cave and shouted below.
There were several echoes from me in the empty space, but there was no response from the fat man.
I immediately grabbed the rope next to me and quickly dragged it upwards.
But there was a huge force dragging the rope from below, as if it was the top of a thousand pounds, so that I couldn't pull the rope below at all.
"Something is definitely wrong with the fat man."
The stele on the Yin and Yang Tomb is indeed worthy of its name.
At this time, the cold breath coming from below was mixed with a thick smell of blood, which was even more fishy and sweet.
There is even an unspeakable smell of corruption.
"Made, I owe you."
Cui Hao went to the Yin and Yang Grave because of me, and I can't leave him here.
I tugged at the rope, and it was held in place.
I turned around and grabbed the rope and quickly climbed and slid down.
The surface of the rope was rough, and it hurt my palms when I rubbed it.
Finally, after almost half a minute of gliding, I finally landed on the ground.
"At least a few dozen meters."
I pulled a flashlight out of my backpack and lit it to aim around.
The surrounding area was dim, and the dark enclosed space looked like it was hundreds of square meters.
You can't even see the edges.
"Such a large underground space?"
The mountain is about 100 zhang high.
Presumably, this place was hollowed out of the mountain and built within the mountain.
"Fatty, is it down there?"
I aimed the flashlight at the four circles and circled, but I didn't locate Cui Hao's position.
Cui Hao is usually reliable, and it is impossible for him to run around below without saying hello.
As far as I can tell, something must have happened to him.
"Fatty, where did you kid go?"
Behind me was a cold stone wall, about 20 meters wide on both sides.
If the fat man wasn't here, he would have gone straight ahead.
I pointed the flashlight in front of me, and the rocky road was long, and the flashlight soon reached the end, and I could no longer illuminate the road ahead.
"There are echoes underground, and if the fat man hears me, it is absolutely impossible not to respond."
Staying where you are will just sit and wait.
I raised my flashlight and strode forward.
The door of death is the door of murder.
Entering and exiting this door, Pepsi is the murderer.
I didn't dare to stride forward, so I could only take broken steps and look around vigilantly.
I'm afraid of accidentally stepping into a trap.
"Cui Hao, fat man. Hear me and answer me immediately. ”
Walk twenty or thirty meters ahead.
The surrounding area is still full of potholes and raised stone walls, and the potholed stone paths are still spreading forward, seemingly endless.
It was so quiet that the only sound of my footsteps on the ground was very distinct.
Walk a few hundred meters forward.
Everywhere the flashlight could reach, it seemed to shine on a few things hanging in mid-air.
Due to the limited visible light, it is not very clear.
"Cui Hao, is it your kid?"
I shouted ahead of me.
But the thing hanging in mid-air still maintained its original form and hung there, without any response at all.
I gritted my teeth and walked forward, keeping my flashlight on the object hanging in midair.
A few dozen meters further on.
I could see the outline in mid-air.
At this moment, a biting cool breeze blew from nowhere, and the cold wind blew my skin, and it also caused the things hanging in the air to fall one by one.
"People, corpses?!"
My heart trembled.
The things hanging on it are clearly several dried corpses.
The dried corpse seems to have been concocted and dried by a special method, and it actually maintains the appearance of being alive before its death.
Cheeks, the body is intact.
Except for the fact that the skin is dehydrated and wrinkled downward, the rest is almost identical to a living person.
If you don't distinguish carefully, it looks like you have just died.
But the clothes they wore were ancient robes, not modern ones.
The corpses even wore silver bracelets and special chain ornaments.
Under the light of the flashlight, these decorative objects faintly emit a silver light, which is extremely dazzling.
The corpses were all blown in the breeze and turned towards me.
Their eyes were wide open, and the pupils in their sockets were shrunken, as if they were staring at me closely.
In particular, their robes swayed in the wind, and their torsos swayed in mid-air.
As I got closer, they seemed to be floating in the air and getting closer to me.
