Chapter 318: The Ancient Tomb Meets the Ninth Uncle
"This must be the bottom of the ancient tomb, what now, how should we go up?" In this huge space, several people did not know which direction to go.
"This smooth stone wall may be part of the ancient tomb, we should be able to find the entrance if we follow this stone wall!" Ren Xiao said as he touched the stone wall. Nangong said: "Then why don't you go to the cave, maybe there is a way to leave here." ”
Qiu Xie Ding shook his head and said, "We must go back to the ancient tomb! Don't forget the purpose of our coming here, Taishi Xiaomeng is still inside!" Ren Xiao nodded and said, "No matter what monsters are inside, we have to find a way to bring Taishi Xiaomeng out!"
Nangong was a little embarrassed, and said: "You may have misunderstood, I didn't mean that, I just want to say that the situation here is far more complicated than imagined, let's go out first and get ready before coming in!"
"No need, since you're already here, you have to go out with Taishi Xiaomeng!" Feng Shang retracted the thunder stick on the right side of his thigh.
Ren Xiao walked in front to open the way, Nangong followed, and then Feng Shang was responsible for paying attention to the cave, and Qiu Xie Ding was in the last formation. The four of them walked for almost half an hour, but still did not find the entrance. Nangong suddenly said, "Do you smell a smell?"
The three of them sniffed carefully, and there was indeed a familiar and unfamiliar smell. "Where have we smelled it?" Feng Shang asked. Ren Xiao thought about it seriously for a while, and suddenly became excited, and said: "This is the smell of the grassland! Why is there a smell of the grassland here, are we about to go out?"
Before the words fell, the bright light not far away attracted the attention of several people, and everyone hurriedly ran towards the bright light. When I came to this bright light source, I realized that it was not the sunlight from the outside that was shining in at all, but something else was shining.
"What is this? glowing grass?" Feng Shang squatted on the ground to carefully observe the large glowing grass. Nangong suddenly said: "That's the smell! It turns out that the smell on the grassland is emitted by it!" Nangong reminded everyone. Ren Xiao also found out about this situation, but he questioned: "How did these grasses grow on stones?
Qiu Xie Ding squatted on the ground and pulled out a grass from the stone, because the rhizome grew in the stone, so Qiu Xie Ding did not uproot it. The light of the broken grass stalk disappeared in an instant, "Are there fewer weird things here? I don't know any more about it!" He looked at the grass and didn't find any difference from ordinary grass. Then he threw the grass on the ground, and the miraculous thing continued, and the grass that had fallen on the stone re-lit, and slowly grew rhizomes and inserted them into the stones.
"Is this the ability of stones, or the ability of grass?" Feng Shang asked, Qiu Xie Ding shook his head.
"I advise you not to touch these sun grasses!" a deep voice came from the side, and several people were startled, and instinctively reacted to prepare for battle. But when they saw this person clearly, Feng Shang shouted overjoyed, "Ninth Uncle, why are you here?"
The appearance of the ninth uncle Pan Shizheng surprised and excited several people, and after Feng Shang briefly introduced each other, Ren Xiao and Qiu Xie Ding hurriedly bowed their hands and said for a long time. The Taoist priest of Maoshan is originally from Taoism, so Uncle Nine and Nangong are also from the same line, not to mention that Nangong has listened to the master and they talk about Maoshan, and every time they are mentioned, the master has an attitude of admiration.
So after Nangong met Uncle Jiu, he had an inexplicable sense of intimacy.
"I passed under the cliff a few days ago, and suddenly found that there was black gas oozing out of the cracks in the stones, so I concluded that there was a large tomb here, and there had been a corpse mutation!" Uncle Nine told him why he came here. Feng Shang hurriedly asked again, "But Uncle Nine, where did you come from? Is it also the crack in the Tongtian Corridor?"
"The Corridor to Heaven? Is this the Corridor to Heaven? I didn't come down from above, but there was a small waterfall at the bottom of the cliff, and I came in along the outlet of the waterfall, and I swam for a long time before I came ashore!" Uncle Nine didn't know that the top of this cliff was the Corridor to Heaven, but he only suspected that there was a corpse change here, so he came here by water.
"By the way, Uncle Nine, why did you just remind us not to touch these glowing grasses?" Ren Xiao asked. Uncle Nine explained: "This is not an ordinary grass, these sun grasses are planted in many large ancient tombs, and the smell it exudes will make people unconsciously fall into hallucinations, the purpose is to prevent tomb robbers. ”
When Ren Xiao and the others heard this, they hurriedly walked away from Sun Grass and hid far away. "It turns out that this is the Tongtian Corridor, no wonder there are so many Sun Grasses, I have long heard that the Tongtian Corridor is a natural labyrinth, and you can't get out if you go in, but I didn't expect it to be the reason for the Sun Grass!" Uncle Nine unraveled the secrets of the Tongtian Corridor for decades with one sentence.
Ren Xiao asked: "Wait, are you saying that the reason why you got lost in the Tongtian Corridor is because of the Sun Grass here?" This is a bit ridiculous, not to mention that these smells can't be transmitted at all!" Uncle Nine explained seriously: "You broke a Sun Grass just now, didn't you find that their roots grew in stones?" But don't underestimate these rhizomes, they can stretch freely in the stones, and a single sun grass in the general tomb is enough to affect the grass within a radius of hundreds of miles, as long as its rhizome is connected with other grasses, the linked grass also has its ability!"
"In other words, a large part of those grasses in the corridor through the sky have the ability of sun grass, can they make people fall into illusions?" Ren Xiao speculated along the train of thought of Uncle Jiu.
"That's right, I've studied those classical texts, and the ancients called the sun grass the guardian god, and some tribes would plant sun grass around the tribe to protect themselves in order not to be invaded by foreign enemies. Sun grass also has a characteristic, that is, they can only be planted in the ground where there is no light, although they are called sun grass, but can not see the sun, if they are directly exposed to the sun, they will be wiped out in an instant! Uncle Nine explained in detail.
"I see, we are not lost in the corridor of the sky at all, but have fallen into an illusion, I will say how can the sun not move at an angle all the time, it is really an illusion!" Ren Xiao said with a smile. Feng Shang sneered and said, "Hmph, what else are you saying that we are cursed! It's complete nonsense!"
Ren Xiao said embarrassedly: "Isn't this here to scare you!"
After understanding the knowledge of the Sun Grass, Ren Xiao and the others suddenly opened their mouths, and they no longer felt magical about the things that got lost in the Tongtian Corridor.
"Uncle Jiu, you just said that you came here because you found out that there was a corpse change here, so, have you solved this problem?" Nangong swallowed his saliva, and said slowly. Uncle Nine shook his head and said, "It's strange to say, I'll go in."
I've been here for so long, let alone a corpse, I haven't even seen a corpse, there are a lot of empty coffins!" Speaking of this, Nangong was even more frightened, and said: "Empty coffins?
Feng Shang didn't care, he picked up the thunder stick and said: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, don't be afraid! With Uncle Nine here, no matter how many zombies he comes, it's fine!" Looking at such an arrogant Feng Shang, Qiu Xie Ding said: "I have forgotten that when I first came down, some people were so scared that they couldn't stand on their feet when they mentioned zombies, and they wouldn't say anything!"
"I didn't know that Uncle Nine was here at that time, it's normal to be afraid, and besides, I'm not the only one who is afraid!" Feng Shang defended himself.
Uncle Nine smiled helplessly, he didn't expect to meet this group of boys here, and when they were all finished asking, he asked rhetorically: "You have finished asking, it is my turn to ask you! Why are you here?"
"This is a long story, to put it simply, we are here to save people, but we haven't been rescued yet, we are trapped here first!" Feng Shang said, Uncle Nine was not interested in listening to him say so many details, nodded and said: "In short, there are too many incredible things in this ancient tomb, everyone must be careful, don't mess around!"
With the addition of Uncle Jiu, Ren Xiao and the others were much more relieved, and after leaving the place where the sunflower grows, several people continued to look for a way to enter the ancient tomb.
"It's too big here, when will we find it when we look like this?" Feng Shang began to complain as time passed. Uncle Nine said: "You're right, and with the influence of the sunflower, the more you want to find the passage, the more unlikely it is to find it!"
"What should I do then?" asked Nangong.
"Intuition! The more times like this, the more we should trust our own intuition!" Uncle Jiu's words made people a little confused, but Qiu Xie Ding reflected it, and hurriedly said to Ren Xiao: "They all say that you are the chosen son, you will not get lost in the Tongtian Corridor, your intuition must be very accurate, how do you say to go?"
Ren Xiao thought back to his experience in the Tongtian Corridor, and every time he really relied on his intuition, he never had a definite goal. Feng Shang said disdainfully: "I don't believe it, my intuition tells me that I can enter from here, can I really get in?" Uncle Nine said to Ren Xiao, "What about your intuition?"
Ren Xiao stared at the place where Feng Shang had kicked just now and said, "My intuition is also here!" After speaking, he stretched out his right hand to the stone wall, what he never expected was that Ren Xiao's right hand actually passed through the stone wall like this. Everyone's eyes were as wide as Tongling, and Feng Shang was even more incredible, scolding: "Impossible, why did I twist my foot in the same place?"
Ren Xiao didn't wait for him to finish, and walked into the stone wall. Nangong followed and walked in, followed by Uncle Jiu, Qiu Xie Ding said to Feng Shang before entering: "Hurry up! I lost it for a while, but no one will look for you!" After speaking, he also entered the stone wall. Although Feng Shang was unwilling, his body slowly moved in involuntarily.
"What's going on? It was outside the stone wall just now, why is it inside now?" Looking at the surrounding environment, it was clearly in the ancient tomb. Uncle Nine explained: "Oh no, we have fallen into an illusion! From now on, don't believe everything you see, follow your intuition completely, and remember to empty your brain, the slightest distraction will sink deeper and deeper into the illusion!"
