Chapter 91: Nine Tombs in the Same Cave
Shangguan Yi and the others simply prepared some things with Gale, and then walked to the back mountain together.
Shangguan Yi tugged at her sleeve with his hand, and then whispered: "After entering the cemetery for a while, don't panic no matter what happens, follow me, and we will be safe and sound." ”
Hua Xiangrong nodded, at this time, she was not good at ridiculing Shangguan Yi, so she simply let him go, he didn't worry about her, she didn't worry about him. For Hua Xiangrong, she doesn't care about everyone here except Shangguan Yi. Is it selfish? Yes, but this is the normal manifestation of human beings, who only care about what they care about, and if necessary, other people or things can be discarded.
The group entered the cave in a mighty way, and the originally empty place suddenly became crowded. People who saw the stele for the first time were a little shocked, shocked by the momentum of the words, and also shocked by the meaning of the inscription expounded by their companions. Those who approached the stele could see that the stele had indeed been moved, though they tried hard to move it back to its place, cover up the traces, and pretend that the stele had not been touched.
Maybe people with average eyesight can't see it, but how many people on the scene are like this? A mercenary who can blend in the chaotic land, even if his eyesight is not good at first, after a period of time, he will be very good, and after suffering so many losses, he will not be able to remember for a long time. Therefore, these people all saw this bit of cattiness, and their eyes became more and more unbearable when they looked at the lone wolf, and their disdain and playfulness were not concealed at all, like a poisonous arrow stuck in the back of the lone wolf. It was unbearable but I had to accept it and endure it.
The leader of the lone wolf group motioned for the two of them to move the stele away, since the gale had already moved, it proved that at least there would be no danger in moving the stele, which could be assured.
However, is this stele really so easy to move?
Shangguan Yi felt that it was unlikely, although he did not participate in the previous move of the stele, but he was watching from the side throughout the whole process, and the five members of the two heavens of Gale barely shook the stele, moved it a little and then moved it back. I'm afraid the two lone wolves can't move.
As Shangguan Yi expected, these two people used the strength of the milk and did not succeed in moving the stele, or even did not move at all, as if two ants were carrying the elephant, if the elephant did not want to move, no matter how hard the ants worked, it was useless.
At this moment, the lone wolf leader's face was a little unbearable, and he hurriedly went up to four more to barely be able to shake the stele, but it was too reluctant, and the lone wolf leader let four more people, and now it was ten people who worked together to carry the stele. It was still hard, but it was much better, and at least I could see the stele move a little, revealing what it was like behind it—a dark passage that led nowhere. What is terrifying is the words on both sides of the passage, the blood red of the demon Ye flashes slightly, and the dangerous aura seems to overflow.
"The road of death, if you go forward, there is no retreat. ”
Hua Xiangrong slowly read out these eight words, it is still the font of the first dynasty, but it is different from the momentum of the words on the inscription, this font is full of warning, the first four words are easy to understand, stepping into this road is stepping into the road of death, if you don't retreat forward, what does it mean?
Hua Xiangrong glanced at Shangguan Yi, who stood quietly beside her, looking at these two words, this ghost ghost doesn't know what it means?
The leader of the lone wolf said at this time: "The door has been opened, please feel free to enter, and if you don't dare, you should go home and eat milk as soon as possible, hahaha." His words were full of mockery, and he said it by looking at the Shadow, and the meaning of provocation and insult was self-evident.
How this matter got to this point, Lie Shadow knew, and so did Lone Wolf. Maybe others can't see the situation clearly, but their two mercenary groups have reached the point where they are incompatible, and with the cultivation of a lone wolf, there is really no need to hide it anymore. Moreover, in his opinion, the lone wolf mercenary group actually has an advantage, after all, the lone wolf has Liu Shi standing behind him, even if it is more like using the lone wolf to make money, it is better than having nothing behind the gale, they are high and naturally compelling.
Shi Ke could not be killed, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Shadow waved his hand, signaling his men to relax, they and the lone wolf were destined to have only one alive, but the battlefield would not be here, at least not in this relatively small cavern, under the watchful eyes of other mercenary groups.
"I don't think this passage is wide enough, only one mercenary group can pass through one mercenary group, since the leader of the lone wolf is so brave, then the lone wolf will invite it first." This sentence, which is impeccable in tone and meaning, is of course said by Shangguan Yi, who has come back to his senses.
This sentence pushed the lone wolf out again, the lone wolf was certainly provoking Gale before, but he didn't name him, as long as Gale pretended not to know, the ostrich-like solution passed. But Shangguan Yi followed his words with a compliment and put the lone wolf on the fire and roasted it, if he went, life and death were unpredictable, and if he didn't go, he would admit that he was cowardly in disguise, and he would lose face and be in a dilemma.
The lone wolf seemed to have expected such a thing, and with a sneer, he let his subordinates go in first, and finally he left a sentence, "I'm afraid that some cowards won't dare to follow up." "Go in with you.
His move made the rest of the people ponder, what kind of medicine is this lone wolf selling? Before, let them explore the way, but they refused to live or die, but now they are the first to take the initiative to enter, and they are still not afraid of death? Or is this part of the road actually not dangerous?
Shangguan Yi nodded slightly at Lie Ying, signaling that he could enter the cemetery. In fact, he didn't want them to go in, but the gale had no way out.
Everyone didn't think about it for long, since the lone wolf went in, Jun Feng didn't hesitate much, the head of the regiment led the team to follow in, then Yuehui, then Gale Wind, and the others also entered one by one in the order of the black list, but when the last person of the tenth team entered, the door closed.
What door?
Pushing open the stele, it was obviously a passage, and I didn't see the door. But now there is a stone door that has been moved out of both sides of the passage and stuck in the passage, so that not even a fly can enter.
The simple and heavy stone door seems to be unshakable, and the blood-red font of the same style on the door is also flickering slightly: Gate of Hell.
The people outside the door were terrified when they read these four words, the gate of hell mentioned in the inscription before, they thought it was a metaphor, referring to the fact that after pushing the stone tablet, they would face all kinds of dangers, and if they were not careful, they would die and go to hell, but they didn't expect that such a door really existed, and it was indeed open when the stone tablet was pushed open, what does this mean, can those who have crossed the gate of hell still be able to come back? After they tried various methods, they really couldn't open the door, so in desperation, they had to leave a few people to guard, and the large army left here. The people inside the door naturally couldn't see these four words, they only knew that their way back might be gone, and they couldn't open the door if they were anxious. In the end, I could only continue to move forward, walking on this road with anxiety and hesitation.
Besides, Shangguan Yi and them, they didn't have any accidents, the only surprise was that the road was really long, and it was really difficult to walk. There seemed to be no end to the zigzag downward journey, and the occasional beating torch in his hand and the breathing and heartbeat of his companion in his ears seemed to be amusement and solace.
"The length of this path to death is a bit staggering, but it's almost over, and it should lead to the underground in the center of the village, but I don't know how much underground. Shangguan Yi silently calculated in his heart.
After walking for a while, listening to the exclamations one after another, Shangguan Yi finally saw the exit, but he didn't feel happy, because the dim candlelight he saw through the exit revealed that it was ominous, maybe the main drama of this trip would not officially begin until that place.
When Shangguan Yi and Hua Xiangrong came out of the road of death, they knew why so many people couldn't help but exclaim, it was really not that they were making a fuss, but it was really amazing. Green candles burn at the tops of the short and long stone pillars, illuminating the entire space, and the bleak color makes people feel as if they have come to the underworld. Facing them is a staircase of about 1,000 floors, climbing up the stairs, and the top is still a huge stone tablet leaning against the stone wall, about three zhang high, and the dense characters reveal the third feeling - agility. Although it is a bit metaphysical, it is true that the words are like the person, and they can also convey the spirit. Each word seems to convey the writer's emotions, whether happy or sad, sad or happy, all kinds of emotions are mixed together, so that the viewer feels a violent impact, and the weak mind may die on the spot.
"Using words to communicate with God, I'm afraid this is a means that only the legendary Fivefold Heavens Grandmaster can have, right?" Hua Xiangrong was a little shocked, if the writer was really the Lord of the Heavenly City, then maybe he was the number one master in the world while unifying the world, and how many Grandmasters of the Five Heavens could come out in these thousands of years?
The reason why it is said to be a writer is because these handwriting is not like the stone tablet outside, which is carved by manual neatness, which is written casually by a strong person, with different shades, and it is not neat and beautiful, but it is more shocking than the stone tablet outside, and it can not be forgotten for a long time.
There are two dead people next to the base of the stele, the lone wolf mercenary group, the one who just died, it seems that he wanted to try to move the stele, but somehow he touched the mechanism, and he died without even having a chance to escape, and the cause of death was poison.
Shangguan Yi glanced at it twice and didn't look at it again, this stele is obviously different from the previous one, not to mention whether it can be moved, if the inscription handwritten by the Lord of the Heavenly City is so easy for you to move to other places, his old man is also very faceless.
"Can you read the words on the stone tablet?" Shangguan Yi said to Hua Xiangrong, he found that it was really uncomfortable not to understand the language, if he knew it, he would be able to read it for himself, this kind of text that reveals strength and emotions is a test for the human spirit, and the weak may not be able to read these words completely, but these words may contain some key information, if they don't know, they may die here, the difference is a thousand miles, and now is the critical moment.
"I'll try. Hua Xiangrong didn't say this kind of thing in a very positive tone, even if she knew that this matter was very important, but she was still a person of the Double Heaven in the final analysis, and she had not even reached the peak of the Double Heaven, although her mental cultivation was a little stronger than that of a normal person, but it was not much stronger, and she did not dare to guarantee that she could read so many words.
"Alright, I'll do it. "It was a slightly elegant young man who looked like Jun Feng was speaking, he was the head of Jun Feng, the gentleman's wind was in the light, erudite, well-informed, and it was normal to recognize this font, but it was a bit unexpected that he would stand up and do this kind of thankless thing, and in terms of his identity, it was not appropriate.
However, Shangguan Yi didn't stop him, if it's not suitable, it's not suitable, but there is really no better candidate, there are really not many people like him who are both triple heavens and well-informed, and since he is willing, it would be better.
"My friend passed away one step ahead of me, and my heart hurts. Before leaving, I told him that he wanted a beautiful funeral, and the whole country mourned, and he said that it was not good to work hard and lose money. I told him to choose a good cemetery for him to sleep in peace, and he said that it was easy to be stolen, and it was not good. I said that I would design a tomb for him with my own hands, and it would not be stolen, and he told me that the river will not stop surging, and that there will be more genius demons under the long river of time, and that you are already very smart, but there will be more intelligent people, and sooner or later your arrangement will be resolved by a person who has come there, and if his companions are killed or injured because of your arrangement, he may be angry with my bones, so it is better to cremate my bones into ashes and scatter them into the river as I said. I'm not convinced, although what he said has a point, but I want to make a bet with the geniuses of future generations to see if they can win against me. So there is this cemetery, and this is where we play. ”
“...”
What follows is the various nostalgia of the Lord of the Heavenly City for his best friend, and the feelings are sincere and touching.
The head of these words Junfeng also read them one by one, and did not say that he did not read many words, the service attitude was still very good, and the reputation of the gentleman was well deserved.
After he finished reading, Shangguan Yi was still thinking about some details, since the Lord of the Heavenly City said that this was a place to play, then maybe there was only danger here, as for the imaginary treasure, it could only be seen whether the Lord of the Heavenly City was a benevolent person.
His performance is quite good, some people are already pale with fright, how can they set foot in the place where the lord of a generation of emperors and the geniuses of the next generation play a showdown? No wonder the sacrificial text says that there is no life, the inscription says that there is no life, the inscription says that it is the gate of hell, and the road of death is written on both sides of the passage, and every detail is warning the weak and stupid not to approach here. It's a pity that they still didn't listen to the persuasion and came here persistently, but fortunately they still had time to retreat.
When they were about to retreat, the 10th mercenary group ran over in a panic and brought bad news: the entrance was blocked by a door that suddenly appeared, and it could no longer be opened, and they had no way to retreat.
This news hit their hearts like a thunderbolt from the sky, and those who were originally determined to move forward were a little better, and they could finally find a way out. But the people who wanted to retreat in the first place were very uncomfortable, there was almost no hope for the road ahead, the way back was sealed again, and the dry food and water on their bodies were only three days' supply, how long could they live?
The tenth mercenary group that came in was even more desperate after learning the carelessness on the stone tablet, and it could almost be seen that the black and gray emotions were spreading, they were just here to fish in troubled waters, but they didn't get anything, and they put their lives into it, and they were more desperate and crazy than others when they saw the stone gate closed.
When people are desperate, the weak will do some crazy and unbelievable things, such as blaming each other, further shaking the morale of the military, and even attacking each other.
Some people have already begun to ridicule the lone wolf in all kinds of ways, after all, there are previous rumors as the bottom, and now no matter what happens, find a reason to dump the pot on the lone wolf, and the lone wolf can't refute it, so he can only take the blame one after another, and it will be miserable, but it really angers the leader of the lone wolf, and he may be killing here.
"Okay, what's the use of scolding them. If you have this strength, you might as well keep it and find a way, and in two days, maybe you won't even have the strength to speak. "Quanzi is a little unbearable, hateful people must have pitiful, poor people must also have hateful things, lone wolf is hateful but these people are not qualified to say this about him, why not why they are greedy for themselves but have to pay for the fact that others, they are not worthy of sympathy.
One of the big guys in Yuehui's façade spoke, and the others were unhappy but didn't dare to say anything more.
This scene fell in Quanzi's eyes, he was even more uncomfortable, bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, today is because so many mercenary groups are united, as long as the lone wolf dares to do something, it will be suppressed, so they are soft, and others can say whatever they want. In normal times, who dares to say that a lone wolf, he would have been hung up and beaten a long time ago, and his mother would not know him. But he was unhappy, but he didn't say anything more, he didn't like lone wolves, let alone lone wolf people, he had no position to speak for them, but his temperament was like this, he loved to fight unevenly, and there were many people who offended him with many friends.
"There's nothing up there, let's go, let's go down and take a look, when I just came up, I vaguely saw some places similar to the entrance of the cave below, it should be the entrance to the tomb, since the Lord of the Heavenly City has laid out the situation, then let's go next." Shangguan Yi made his suggestion to Lie Ying, and there was no other choice anyway, unless you wanted to sit and wait for death, or it would be better to find out how to break the situation. At least you can't break the game by sitting dry, and maybe you can still survive if you struggle.
Lie Ying didn't have any opinions, there was no one on it, except for the stone stele, the stone wall, and some ornaments, there was nothing else, I'm afraid the most important thing was the inscription. Since the inscription has already been studied, there is no need to think about anything else, just go below and look at other clues.
The others also looked at the top of the platform, and it seemed that there was really nothing to be nostalgic for, so they followed the gale down, but the more they looked down, the more ugly their faces became. There are a total of ten caves like the one they took when they came, each with four words written on it, the one they came over was the path of death, and the others were puzzling terms such as merry genius, unruly scholar, iron man, mighty general, etc., could it be that people who meet certain conditions take that path and can pass the level through challenges? Or is it something else...
Without clues, how to break the game?
Shangguan Yi looked at these terms, his face sank a little bit, and the people who had listened carefully to the story of the head of Jun Feng were confused, and some of them seemed to remember something, and their faces were as solemn as him. These terms seem to have appeared in the inscription, and they describe the dead general, so the answer is obvious, these passages lead to the tomb of the general.
But at that entrance, there are still nine left, that is, nine tombs.
!
Shangguan Yi clenched his hands tightly, even if he was half-hanging, he also knew that the game that tomb robbers were most afraid of was the game, no matter how experienced you are, skilled in techniques, and fully equipped, as long as you meet, you will be equivalent to being buried in the soil, as for whether you can climb out, it depends on the psychological game between the designer and you.
If you win, you will turn evil into good, and if you lose, your bones will turn into ashes.
The most important thing now is not whether they can enter a passage or go to the end, but which of these nine tombs is real, or all of them are fake, of course, they may all be true, and finally there is a way to the real tomb, or to the exit.
How to choose?
Shangguan Yi's palms were sweaty, the weight of his words was already very high after these waves, as long as he made a choice, there was a high chance that he would be recognized by Lieying, if he could say a little bit of evidence, then it would be 100% that. So he can't make a mistake, if he misses, the three teams here, including him, Hua Xiangrong, all have to die, and they are friends, and relatives can't find the kind of death that the bones can't find.
Accidentally played big, Shangguan Yi's face under the mask smiled bitterly, even though he had some hole cards, but people didn't give him a chance to use them at all, and directly threw over such a difficult problem, as well as a little clue, please answer.
Hua Xiangrong seemed to think of the rumor after a while, and exclaimed slightly, looking at Shangguan Yi, who had no sense of ease in his ink eyes and told her the answer, yes, this is the rumored death is extremely tricky.
Hua Xiangrong also smiled bitterly, although she was walking in the shadow of death, she still didn't want to really throw herself into its arms, but she didn't expect that the biggest problem I thought was that Liu Shi's actions have become like this now, and the world makes people.
But she didn't blame Shangguan Yi, he was already under a lot of pressure, and he had tried his best to persuade himself before, and he insisted on coming together. The choice she made caused the current result is not to blame others, she will not push her responsibility to others, she will live for a few more years if she can break the game, if she can't break it, it is not impossible to die here. It's just a pity that the landlord took great pains to cultivate her, and she died before he could help him complete his dream.
Yes, she has seen it.
The dancer who walks on the tip of the knife values and disregards life, and after living one more day is a gift, he no longer fears death because he has become numb.
