The ground was still full of rubble, dripping water between the rubble, and no weeds were growing.

In this empty corridor, only the flames on the torches held by Tan Xiao were dancing, and there was a "crackling" sound from time to time.

He had put away the twine that had been thrown down and straddled it diagonally.

As for Shi Ji's severed hand, he didn't pick it up, and let it be thrown on the ground of this shaft.

I don't know if Shi Ji is dead or not, anyway, he can unload one of his arms so easily, and let him not make the slightest sound.

With such an existence, it is not difficult to kill him.

Therefore, there is no one who cannot die.

Undead ghosts can be immortal, but they can also be imprisoned forever and suppress evil towers...... I have the ability to do this.

Tan Xiao drew a few more runes on his body, so he felt a little more at ease.

If it was really an ordinary tomb, he would be fine.

But after knowing that this ancient country was from the middle ninth-rate world, he was much more cautious.

After all, the means from the previous world are not comparable to the way of this world.

He walked through the corridor with a torch, but after walking for long, Tan Xiao suddenly stopped, and then retreated one after another, and where he had just stood, a snake cub suddenly fell.

The whole body is spotted, about the thickness of a finger, and it quickly gets out of the cracks in the stone after landing on the ground.

Tan Xiao looked up.

I saw that I didn't know where to start, and there were already small snake cubs crawling on this road.

They clinging to crevices between the stones, and some are wrapped around stone pillars.

As the torches in Tan Xiao's hands lit up, several more fell down one after another, winding and crawling away on the ground.

Tan Dao's face did not change, but he reached into the bag and touched a handful of realgar powder, patted it on both of his shoulders, and finally sprinkled it on the top of his head.

People have three fires, and all three fires are lit with realgar powder.

These snakes naturally did not dare to approach, in fact, it was true, after patting the realgar powder on their bodies, they talked and laughed again, and where they passed, the little snakes on the top of their heads disappeared into the cracks in the stones, and they did not dare to approach at all.

There was no danger of crossing this corridor, and Tan Xiao came to an empty stone hall.

At this point, the ground was finally no longer rubble, but turned into a flat stone brick, which means that he has finally come to the inside of this tomb.

The stone hall is large, with a stone door on the opposite side and one on the left.

The message delivered by the puppet that Tan Xiao had tracked earlier was over here.

This means that at this point, the chief of the Tao can't decide which way to go is the most correct.

He held his torch high and looked at the top of the stone hall, but as soon as he looked up, he was startled.

Because there was a corpse hanging above this stone hall.

To be exact, it was a dried corpse, without the slightest moisture on its body, but the corpse was not decomposed, and its hanging posture was abnormal.

The corpse was bound with its feet, which were bound with a piece of twine.

This is an upside-down hangman.

After a few glances, he didn't care, because the corpse was normal...... At least it looks like so, nothing else weird appears.

In that case, he didn't cause much trouble.

For the sake of today, it is better to find the main burial chamber of this tomb as soon as possible, and see what clues about Loulan Kingdom have been left here.

Of course, there is also a major reason that he is now left alone.

If something really happens, he can't do it alone, after all, the Taoist chief is not good at fighting.

He didn't bother too much about which of these two doors to go, anyway, for him, it was about the same.

I went straight to the gate of the stone gate opposite, but I just arrived here.

The chief of the conversation frowned, for he smelled a smell, an extremely pungent fishy smell, and it was a little familiar.

He looked up again at the frame of the stone door.

It's very smooth, like something, often polished here.

It's a snake!

It's a snake road!

As the saying goes, snakes have snake paths, and rats have rat paths.

And this is a snake path, and the fishy smell that I smelled in the waterway when I first entered the tomb before.

That's why I immediately remembered it.

It's just that this stone gate is a snake in the way of snakes...... How big should it be?

Talking and laughing is not afraid of ghosts, but he is afraid of these real things, because this is something that he can't solve with the Taoist skills he currently knows.

He stretched out his hand and measured the height and width of the stone gate, and then stepped forward to pass through the stone gate, just to take a look, but found that there was a piece of snake scales falling off behind the stone door.

Gray linen, he picked it up, the size of his palm, and then thought of the size of this stone door.

Well...... Estimate your own size, that is, the weight of the snake's mouthful.

After thinking of this, Tan Xiao put away this snake scale and carried this thing with him, which can also be used to save his life at a critical time.

Others may not be able to, but they can talk long.

The cave had not gone far before there was a fork in the road, and from the traces on the tunnel, it could be seen that one was a snake path, the other was without traces, and the walls of the cave were covered with moss.

Tan Xiao chose the one that was not the snake path, and he was worried that he would continue to follow that path in case he happened to run into the tomb snake.

That's the end of it.

After traveling for about ten meters, a ray of light suddenly appeared in front of him.

Light blue, a little far away.

This is...... Ghost fire?

Seeing this thing, Tan Xiao immediately breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, at least it was a familiar thing.

He held the torch and followed quickly, but the faster he walked, the faster he found that the ghost fire was floating.

Always in a position that you can see, but can't catch up.

Wrong...... Tan Xiao slowly slowed down, and then the ghost fire in front of him also slowed down.

But still ahead of him.

After the conversation and laughter stopped, he took out a palm-sized porcelain bottle from the bag behind his back, and he squatted down slightly and sprinkled it around him.

What poured out of the vase was blood that was extremely black.

Rooster blood, or rooster's comb blood.

The most masculine and rigid things, as these blood were spilled, the situation in Tan Xiao's eyes gradually changed.

It's like the world is spinning.

When he saw it again, there was no longer a tomb in front of him, and there was no ghost fire.

He was still in the spacious stone hall he had just entered, and he still maintained his posture of looking up, but what he saw was no longer the dried corpse he had seen before.

It's a snake, a giant snake!

The snake's head was hideous, grinning wide, and the snake's body was huge, so it crawled down from the top of the stone hall and aimed the snake's head at the talk.

He subconsciously took a step back, and only then did he realize that the snake was not real, but a stone sculpture.

It's like a gargoylee you encounter outside an ancient tomb.

But Rao is like this, what still makes Tan Xiao feel his heart tremble, is the appearance of this giant snake.

This snake has one eye, and it has only one vertical eye!

Other snakes have two eyes, but this snake has vertical eyes, and there is only one.

Talking and laughing, I immediately remembered what was going on with this snake.

When he was still in the middle and ninth rate world, he had read the account of Lou Guguo, and what was described in the book at that time was ......

The totem enshrined in the ancient country of Lou is a snake with vertical eyes.

The name is called: Candle Nine Yin.

"The human face is red and the body of the snake, the straight eyes are riding, its eyes are obscure, its vision is clear, it does not eat or sleep, and the wind and rain are admonished. It is called the candle nine yin. ”

This is a record in the historical materials, but the description in the book that this candle nine yin is a human-faced snake body.

But there is no human face here, and the same is still the vertical eye.

The reason why I fell into the illusion just now was because I saw the vertical eye of this snake carving, so this is just a vertical eye with such an effect?

Tan Xiao didn't look up again, but he could feel that the vertical eyes were still staring at him.

He felt like his soul was on pins and needles.

Just as he was about to quickly pass through here, he heard a rustling sound.

As if the scale armor was rubbing against the stone wall, he subconsciously looked up at the stone gate opposite without the slightest hesitation, he immediately chose to retreat and retreated into the stone path where he came.

He threw the torch into the distance, let it burn, and threw some realgar powder on himself again, so that he dared to poke his head out a little and look at what was going on on the other side.

Soon, as the sound became louder and louder, with a faint light, he gradually saw the situation on the other side.

A head the size of a millstone disc squeezed out of the stone door opposite, followed by a snake body, and the thickness of the bucket was overestimated.

And on the head of this snake, there is a sarcoma, as if it is about to grow legs.

Seeing this situation, Tan Xiao couldn't help but want to scold.

If this is really a dream that was manipulated by this machine spirit, in this world where all mortals are manipulating, this thing is such a thing, isn't this deliberately trying to kill everyone!

Even if this thing is put outside, it's all a fast-turning thing.

Now put it here.

Tan Xiao had to wait silently, he had pounced so much male yellow powder now, if this giant snake dared to rush at him, then it was basically certain that the machine spirit was playing tricks.

If that's the case, Tan Xiao will choose to use the heart of the broken tower as soon as possible and leave this hellish place.

He didn't think of burying himself in here.

But fortunately, the giant snake did not linger here as if passing by, and after passing through the empty stone hall, it disappeared into the stone gate on the left.

Tan Xiao waited for a while, making sure that he didn't wait for any other movement, then picked up the torch and went to the stone gate opposite.

After entering, he also deliberately went to the back of the stone gate to take a look.

It's a pity that I didn't see snake scales again this time, it was really an illusion just now.

If not, with snake scales in hand, a little trick can be used to control the giant snake.

After all, to a snake, this thing is like a person's birth date and hair, once it is in the hands of someone who knows how to do it, it is like being held by the door of life. (So I advise all readers, really don't just tell others about your birthday)

Holding the torch, the chief of the conversation continued to go deeper, and in the flickering firelight, he disappeared into the depths of the tomb.

……

"Why didn't you let Mr. Qi come down with us?"

"Is it just trying him to show us the way?" Zhou Yaya grabbed the hemp rope, swung in from outside the cave, and landed steadily beside Li Daoxuan.

"That's right, then what else do you want him to do, do you want him to be old?"

Li Daoxuan said in a natural tone.

Zhou Yaya, who was dressed in tight clothes, gave him a thumbs up, "It's worthy of you." ”

It is true that Li Daoxuan admitted that the last time he went to the tomb, Mr. Qi led the way, and he did plan to follow suit.

But in fact?

Don't scold the owner of the tomb when you enter the tomb?

What kind of bird rule is this, and what is there that can't be scolded?

Since you can't scold, then come back to life, Li Daoxuan stabbed him a few times, and maybe the other party could still explode a copper coin.

Also, at that time, when he was about to cross a bridge in the tomb, Mr. Qi actually burned incense and paper.

What about Lee Do-hyun?

directly hugged Zhou Yaya with one hand, and passed with a jump.

As a result, it was safe and sound, and there was no danger.

Therefore, how can there be so many rules in this tomb, as long as you are strong enough, you can start from the tomb and cut all the way to the main tomb.

If you're lucky, you can pick up the owner of the tomb and cut it again.

After clarifying this, Li Daoxuan let go.

Returning to that taboo-free posture again, going to the grave?

It's all over when you cut it.

"Let's go."

Li Daoxuan pulled the hemp rope and motioned for Mr. Qi to wait on it, while he led Zhou Yaya into the cave.

"This place should have been inhabited by people."

After not walking a few steps, Zhou Yaya looked at the traces on the ground and said, "It should be a pool for water storage, and it is a small stove built up." ”

"You're stepping on a pile of broken bones, or a human being."

Li Daoxuan came first, and he had already found out the surrounding situation clearly.

"What?"

Zhou Yaya hurriedly avoided it, and when she looked back, she really found that the place she had just stepped on was a pile of bones, and there was a skull among them.

"What the hell is this place, how come people have lived here?"

"Maybe it's a bandit, maybe it's a former refugee, maybe even our seniors, it's possible, who knows."

"Let's go."

Li Daoxuan strode forward, and Zhou Yaya lit the torch with flint and trotted behind him.

If you go further, you can see charcoal burned under the rocks next to it.

Li Daoxuan picked it up with a knife and looked at it, "It's still a good green charcoal, and I don't know what these people are doing here." ”

And the knife in his hand has a long and narrow blade, and the handle is enough to hold with both hands.

It is very similar to Li Daoxuan's Tang knife in his previous life, and this is why he chose this knife.

The further you go in, the narrower the tunnel becomes.

In some places, you even have to bend down to get through.

"Is this really a passage into the tomb, why does it look so wrong." Zhou Yaya wondered.

"Yes, what you see is deliberately blocked."

And as if in order to cooperate with what Li Daoxuan said, the two took a few more steps forward and turned a corner.

I found out...... There is no way.

The road in front of me was blocked by several boulders, and there was no place to go.

Li Daoxuan stepped forward and pushed it tentatively, but the boulder did not move at all.

"This is the doorstone."

"Door Sealing Stone? What is a door sealer. "Zhou Yaya hasn't experienced this, so naturally she doesn't know.

"Generally, there will be a sealing stone in the tomb." Li Daoxuan explained: "After the tomb is built, after sending the dead in, they have to leave a way to retreat, and after everyone has withdrawn, they will put down the sealing stone and completely block the tomb." ”

"This is the Sealing Stone? So what to do? Zhou Yaya had already begun to think about countermeasures.

Li Daoxuan took off the long knife and thrust it into the ground, and said, "If Mr. Qi is here, I will definitely have to ask my grandfather to tell my grandmother, saying that this road is not passable, and I have to find a way to make a hole by myself." ”

"But I don't believe it."

Li Daoxuan said, his eyes turned around these boulders, and finally he took a fancy to the upper right piece that was slightly protruding, as if it was forcibly stuffed inside.

As soon as he jumped up, he held it with both hands and began to exert his strength directly.

With his strength, the clothes on his body instantly bulged, and the whole person seemed to have turned into a humanoid beast.

"Since there is no road ahead, then rely on your own fists to make a way!"

Li Daoxuan gritted his teeth and said word by word, and with his strength, the stone he was pushing finally began to move slowly.

With a "boom", the stone fell backwards, revealing a swarthy hole.

With the gap, the other boulders began to loosen as well.

Li Daoxuan pushed again, the sealing stone collapsed, and a hole appeared in front of Zhou Yaya.

"Let's go."

He shrugged his shoulders and stretched out his hand to Zhou Yaya.

The latter naturally stretched out his hand, but Li Daoxuan slapped her little hand away, "I mean, give me the knife." ”

Zhou Yaya: "......"

Passing through the blocked hole, the ground is no longer rubble, but a hard, flat hard stone floor.

"Have you noticed that those sealing stones were blocked from the inside just now?"

"What? Blocked from the inside? ”

"Then how did they get out, could it be said that they died here? There are still other outlets. ”

"I don't know."

Li Daoxuan was carrying a knife, and by the light on Zhou Yaya's torch, he could already see clearly that the road in front of him was already going straight down.

A stone staircase descended ahead.

As soon as he stepped on the stone steps, it was as if he saw some dark shadow below flash away, and went deeper.

There was also the sound of colliding stone steps.

He didn't say hello to Zhou Yaya, let alone be cautious, he went up recklessly, jumped up, stepped on the stone steps twice, and arrived at the place where the black shadow was entrenched just now.

He looked at the damp marks left on the ground and sniffed again, catching the remnants of the air.

Zhou Yaya also walked down from the top quickly, and as soon as she arrived here, she frowned and said, "Snake! ”

"There's a big snake here."

She said, looking at the marks under her feet.

"Indeed."

Li Daoxuan was still thinking about what it tasted like at first, but as soon as Zhou Yaya woke up, he knew that it was indeed a snake.

"Generally, there will be pythons in the tomb, and this is a good place to live, there are no natural enemies, and there is food."

"It's just this python...... The reaction seems to be fast and a bit big. ”

Li Daoxuan always felt that something was not quite right.

"Let's go down and have a look."

The two walked down more than 20 meters again, and Li Daoxuan heard a trace of strangeness.

"The sound of water."

"There's an underground river down there!"

The two of them quickened their pace, and the further down they went, the more obvious the sound of the water became, and by the time they stepped out of the stone steps, they saw a wide underground river in front of them.

As soon as he arrived here, Li Daoxuan saw a huge and incomparably hideous snake head disappear from the surface of the water and disappear. (End of chapter)
