Chapter 25: Tomb Horror (4)

Lao Zhangtou still didn't move, and said: "The old man has reached the age of death, and he doesn't want to enter the grave with doubts. The pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info out of the mouth of the son, into the ears of the old decay, even if the decay mentions a word to his own children and grandchildren, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed, and the whole family will die. ”

Nangong Yu smiled and didn't speak, he can work hard to save his companions, but there are some things that can't be said that can't be said, he is also a principled person. Principled people do not necessarily have great achievements, but people with great achievements must be principled people. He forcibly pulled Lao Zhang's head up and said, "Trouble comes from the mouth." There are some things that I still don't want to know, and I also think about the elderly. Lao Zhangtou had no choice but to say "yes" and waved at him for a long time, not daring to ask again.

The quicksand had just run out of water, and it was as high as a hill, and they wore wooden duck paws and shovels in their hands, and they climbed and shoveled as they went, and finally climbed to the top and returned to the big round hole. The cave was smooth and there was no place to stay, so they took off their shoes, moistened the surface of their feet with water, and let them climb up with difficulty.

The sand of the quicksand pit is gone, and it is surrounded by a square pit four feet deep, Lao Zhangtou came to the slide, climbed up with his hands and feet, put down the rope and pulled Nangong Yu up, and climbed inside together. The chute was not long, and after a while a trap flap appeared on their heads, and they climbed up from under it.

When I came out to look, I saw the light of torches all around, and there were people resting there not far away. It was Ouyang Ye, Xiao Jiu and Xiao Zhang. After hearing the movement, the three of them all held weapons and waited for the battle, but they didn't expect to see the two of them again, and they couldn't close their mouths in surprise. Xiao Zhang ran over with joy and cried, and said, "Grandpa!" Old Zhang showed a relieved smile, touched his head, and said, "Silly baby, don't cry in the ancient tomb, bad luck." Xiao Zhang wiped his tears and said with a smile: "Yes, is grandpa rescued by the little brother?" Xiao Zhang said: "Is there something down there?" Lao Zhangtou hesitated, shook his head, and said, "No, it's just too deep, and climbing up delays the effort." ”

Nangong Yu and the others also sat down to eat and drink for a while, and then looked around. The surrounding area is extremely empty, the walls are paved with neat stone bricks, the arc top is higher than the city gate hole, and the stone carved soldiers are divided into two columns, neatly and majestically extending forward. Lao Zhangtou said that this is the main tomb road of the royal tomb, and you can reach the main tomb by following this road. They move on after eating. Nangong Yu saw that those stone statues were made lifelike, and each person's expressions and movements were different, and they should all be built according to the appearance of real people.

The tomb road is empty and silent, the footsteps are echoed, and after walking for half an hour, I came to a white marble gate the size of the mansion gate, and the door was engraved with a line of big characters: "The descendants of the non-koji style die" The old Zhang Tou looked around and did not find the mechanism, and directly pushed open the stone door.

Inside the door is also a tomb passage, narrower than the previous one, but there is a huge oil painting painted on the walls on both sides. On the left is a panorama of Gaochang City, and on the right side is a scene of the Imperial Palace, both of which are hundreds of feet long. Nangong Yu was very fascinated by the mural and admired it all the way.

Behind the mural, two black corridors appeared, and Lao Zhangtou pointed to the corridor to the west and said, "This leads to Su Hao's tomb, if his tomb door can be opened, we don't have to go around such a big circle." I don't know whose burial tomb it belongs to, and they are not interested in knowing, and after walking forward for a while, they only feel that the front is cheerful, as if there is a "boom" sound of flowing water in a long distance. The fire couldn't shine at all, and Lao Zhangtou's nose suddenly sniffed vigorously, and said, "There is a smell of fire oil." As he sniffed and walked, he suddenly trembled under his feet, and hurriedly sat down on the ground, only to find that he was standing on the edge of the cliff, and the bottom of his feet was empty, and the smell of fire oil came from the stone trough of the mountain wall on the edge of the cliff. Lao Zhangtou smelled the smell of fire oil in the stone trough, and said in surprise: "If my guess is correct, the fire oil in this is used for lighting, and there may be a very spectacular scene after it is ignited." Xiao Jiu said: "Then light it and take a look." As he spoke, he picked up a torch and burned it at the stone trough for a while, and the oil in it began to melt and light up.

The fire burned all the way along the stone trough, and the oil melted faster, until the speed of ignition became faster and faster, and everyone saw that the stone trough was built on an underground mountain range. The pattern here is actually surrounded by mountains, and in the distance there is a white dragon-like waterfall that falls into a bottomless black abyss. Lao Zhangtou sighed: "This underground mountain range must be secretly connected to the Kunlun Mountains, Kunlun Mountain is the faucet of great feng shui, the feng shui here should be called 'hidden dragon gathering qi', the tomb runs through it, the entire royal tomb absorbs the aura of heaven and earth and does not disperse, it is an excellent treasure place for burial, no wonder the tomb beasts here are going to become essences." Such a feng shui pattern can only be buried by one family, and if there must be many people buried here, the good fortune of feng shui will be destroyed. But this is an underground gas gathering basin, and this is the only one who enjoys the essence of the sun and the moon, but the most difficult thing is to discover this underground pattern. ”

At this time, the oil had extended to the distant mountain wall, and it was still spreading forward, like a fire dragon hovering over the mountain. It took half an hour for the "Fire Dragon" to circle the entire circle, illuminating the entire space, surrounded by mountains on all sides, and where they were located was a stone bridge across the abyss. At this time, the "fire dragon" actually began to circle the mountain for the second week, and they found that there was a stone trough under the stone trough, but they did not expect the project of this mountain to be so huge. The fire oil stone trough of this mountain should have been used when the royal tomb was completed, and it could also be used for lighting after the next king of Gaochang entered the royal tomb, so as not to fall off the cliff.

At this time, he suddenly saw a torch shaking a hundred zhang in front of him, Xiao Jiu took a look, and said with great joy: "It was the commander who made them." After the two parties reconciled, they told each other what had happened. At that time, Tan Mian and the others led the fire toad brigade to run forward, the water surface was getting deeper and deeper, although the swimming speed of the fire toads was not slow, but their tongues were useless in the water, and even if they ran into them, they couldn't stick to people. Once the most threatening attacks are contained, they are just a bunch of behemoths to be slaughtered. The process was similar to Xiao Jiu's guess, Tan Mian and Wei Mei killed the fire toads one by one. When they came to the quicksand pit, the red ants didn't come out at first, and when they came to the slide wearing wooden duck paws, the red ants suddenly came out of the sand. There were six of them, and the last fifth master really didn't have time to climb up, so he had to run the way he came, intending to run back to the canal to get rid of the red ants on his body. But there are millions of red ants in the quicksand pit, and he can't run fast in the wooden duck paws, and the red ants on his body have climbed two thick layers when he runs out of the quicksand pit, and the result can be imagined. The rest of the people got up the slide and came here along the main tomb road, and they also smelled the smell of fire oil, but they didn't know what to do with it, so they didn't rush to order it.

When Tan Mian said this, he said: "We have encountered some accidents on this bridge, but the problem is not big, and it has been dealt with. With that, he stood up and showed them what was going on ahead. I saw a long row of "iron warriors" lying on the bridge deck not far away, all of them were beaten to the ground, and the iron knives in their hands were scattered all over the ground. Tan Mian explained: "The structure of these Iron Warriors is similar to the Eighteen Bronze Men of the Shaolin Temple, but the Iron Warriors are more numerous, cooperate with each other when launching attacks, and carry weapons, which are more threatening than the Eighteen Bronze Men on the bridge deck with limited space. Xiao Jiu said: "Isn't that solved by you?" Tan Mian smiled lightly: "What we are worried about is only the maze and the mechanism, this kind of trick can only prevent some ordinary tomb robbers, but it is useless for us." What have you been through, it seems that you are lucky, no one is missing. ”

Nangong Yu and the others all smiled bitterly, but luck was true. Lao Zhangtou said all the things that had passed, and all the blood involved in Nangong Yu was vaguely covered. Xiao Jiu moved his mouth, but still didn't say it. Tan Mian nodded after hearing this, and said, "It seems that only the fifth master has bad luck, but it's a pity." Since everyone is safe and sound, let's move on, there is also a mechanism in front, we can't break it, so we're waiting for you here. ”

As he was advancing, Wei Mei glanced at the wound on Nangong Yu's arm and said, "How did you hurt your arm?" Nangong Yu said: "I was injured while fighting with bats." The Charm nodded, glanced at the blood on the dagger at his waist, and did not speak.
