Chapter 37: No Way Forward
Ba Jun's face was not very good, but he was stronger than Cheng Danrui, and he rubbed his stomach and came to me, "Brother Qi, what did you just say?" I didn't hear too clearly. ”
I repeated what I had just said, and then said, "Actually, I should have thought that something as precious as the Linwen Six Dragons Porcelain Mirror would never appear in such an empty and cool room, but if it is used as a key, it is understandable. ”
After some tossing, Gu Anyi was the only one who seemed to be fine, except for a little dust on his body, he didn't even have any external injuries.
"So Brother Qi guesses that this Linwen Six Dragons Porcelain Mirror is the switch that triggers the rotation of the upper palace."
I nodded, "That's right, this Linwen Six Dragons Porcelain Mirror must have undergone a special treatment, which automatically triggered the mechanism after the destruction of the Second Tomb, causing it to emit a woman's giggle and an image. After Brother Sheng smashed the porcelain mirror, this triggered the organ of the upper palace. ”
Jiang Sheng kicked Cheng Danrui, who was lying on the ground and pretending to be dead, "What a waste, Brother Qi, if it's really like you said, then what should we do now?" ”
I looked at Jiang Sheng's face and looked at the debris on the ground again, "I heard a story from my grandfather before, I don't know if you have heard of the Tang family?" ”
Jiang Sheng and Gu Anyi's faces were full of doubts, but Ba Jun looked like he had seen a ghost, and I continued: "The Tang family is an extremely secret family, and the first head of the Tang family once assisted Zhu Yuanzhang to lay down the Ming Dynasty, but the strange thing is that there is no record of this in the history books. ”
I picked up the fragments of the dragon head on the ground and put them on the dresser, "Since the fall of the Ming Dynasty, the Tang family has disappeared for two hundred years, and later someone found the Tang family's house in Yanjing. However, the Tang family's house was surrounded by high walls, and many dignitaries couldn't make friends if they wanted to, so they joined forces to make stumbling blocks for the Tang family behind their backs, but then all those people disappeared. ”
"Gone?"
Ba Jun handed me the last fragment of the dragon's head that he had been holding in his hand and said, "It's not gone, it's dead, overnight, a total of five hundred and eighty people, all of them have been disemboweled, and all organs except the heart are gone." ”
Gu Anyi looked at me with a frown, only to see me nodding.
"At that time, this incident caused a lot of turmoil in Yanjing, but it was quickly quelled."
Jiang Sheng couldn't help but interject: "What does this mirror have to do with the Tang family you said?" ”
"The Tang family is known as the cursed family, and the previous heads of the Tang family are all sixteen or seventeen-year-old daughters, this porcelain mirror reminds me of a painting I saw in the Tang family at that time, in which there is a woman sitting elegantly in front of the dresser, dressed in red, and a drop of blood and tears is shed from her left eye. It's exactly the same as what I just saw in the mirror, so that's why I think of the Tang family. ”
Ba Jun's eyes stared at me without blinking, and his eyes were sharp, "Have you been to Tang's house?" ”
I didn't admit it, and continued: "The reason why the Tang family is called the cursed family is because their previous heads are all cursed people, just like this Linwen Six Dragons porcelain mirror, once it is broken, the mechanism will be touched, and the curse will naturally come. ”
Cheng Danrui stood up and wiped the corners of his mouth, "Curse? What curse? Are we going to die? ”
I shook my head, "The Tang family's curse is limited to women, and we won't be fine." ”
"That's good, that's good..."Cheng Danrui just put his mind at ease, and suddenly raised his head suddenly, "Nana! Thinking about it again, a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, "No, it's impossible, Nana didn't come in at all!" ”
Ba Jun sneered, "You still don't understand the power of the Tang family, once the curse of the Tang family is planted, it is a dead end, and there is no possibility of survival." ”
Cheng Danrui leaned against the wall in a deflated manner, and kept muttering, "Impossible, this is impossible, Nana must be fine, Nana must be fine." ”
I sighed, and just as I was about to say something, the six dragon fragments on the table suddenly burst out with a strong and dazzling red light, and the upper palace began to rotate again, but this time the direction should be clockwise, only rotated a little, and the sound of underground machinery turning could be heard.
Boom.
The wall facing the dresser opens from the bottom up.
What came into view was pitch black, with a broken bridge hanging in the middle, the part of the broken bridge connected to the upper palace where we were, and the other end was difficult to see clearly because of the fog.
The wall that opened upwards was on Cheng Danrui's side, and when he looked down, there was an abyss under his feet, and he couldn't see his five fingers, Cheng Danrui was so frightened that he sweated like pulp, screaming and retreating again and again.
Jiang Sheng walked to the entrance of the broken bridge.
"Finally... It's here. ”
It is said that the bridge is broken, but in fact, it is because the fog obscures the road ahead, so the naked eye cannot see the front clearly, and the reaction of the broken bridge will occur.
Jiang Sheng looked at the abyss in front of him and was about to step on the broken bridge without the slightest fear, I scolded secretly, grabbed his back collar and pulled him back.
Jiang Sheng's gaze became unusually dull at some point, his eyes looked motionless in the direction of the broken bridge, and he muttered the words "It's here, it's finally here".
I stared straight into the pitch-black space in front of me, and my mind seemed to be in a trance for a moment, and I quickly withdrew my gaze and calmed down for a while before coming back to my senses. When he looked at Jiang Sheng again, he already understood something in his expression.
No wonder Jiang Sheng suddenly became like this, when the wall was opened from the bottom up, Jiang Sheng stood in front of the stone gate, and as soon as the stone door opened, the abyss was staring at him, and the foggy dim space could easily cause a hypnotic effect on people. Jiang Sheng was so confused that he was so willing that he wanted to step on the broken bridge to explore the secrets in the depths of the fog regardless of the danger to his life.
I shouted, "Starling! You wake him up. ”
Ba Jun pointed at himself and looked at me, his face full of incredulity, "You asked me to wake him up?" Do you think I'm going to live long? ”
I dragged Jiang Sheng to the back of the dresser, "He was the first person to see the abyss of the broken bridge after the stone door was opened just now, I suspect that there is a breathtaking effect there, but it will only work on the first person, Brother Sheng is the first person to see it, I also took a look at it just now, but the effect is not so significant, as long as you look away, it will be fine." ”
Gu Anyi helped Jiang Sheng's upper body, Ba Jun squatted down in front of him, and gave them a slap with a lot of determination.
With two crisp sounds, Jiang Sheng's eyes gradually returned to clarity, and he shook his head, "I'm here... What's wrong? What just happened? ”
Ba Jun rubbed his wrist, "If it hadn't been for Brother Qi who dragged you just now, you would have fallen from here by now." ”
Jiang Sheng's attitude towards me has always been lukewarm along the way, but now he looked at me with eagerness, "Thanks to you." ”
I nodded slightly.
Gu Anyi helped Jiang Sheng up, and Ba Jun looked at the space in front of him with his arms around his chest, "Brother Qi, do you say you can go over here?" ”
