Chapter 134: There is no cave
Gao Yuan walked up, no scars were visible all over his body, his tone and expression were as usual, and the tight strings in the inspectors' minds were inexplicably relaxed. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The rain poured in from the gap in the sarcophagus, turned into mist under the scorching sun, the captain suddenly opened the coffin lid and released it, just as the mountain wind blew, the fog was difficult to disperse in time, and swirled in the depression of the cliff, no different from the whirlwind common in the corner in front of the building, next to the hanging coffin, I thought it was an ancient corpse manifestation between the doubts, and I had an illusion in my heart, and naturally the more I looked at it, the more it looked like the fog turned into a human form.
"Coach, there is no need to test everyone's courage at the juncture, causing me to run empty and almost let the poisonous snake bite. Hehe, the heart said that he finally went lucky, and he didn't have to go to the grassland to fight and kill, and the hanging coffin of the ancient corpse died and came back to life, I believe that after the rich and noble people heard about it, some people were willing to spend a lot of money to understand, we guarded the ancient village to buy road money, and it didn't take long to make a fortune, and the result was in a hurry to run to the snake's nest first. ”
Qiu Xingchen was quick for a while, leaked the truth of the fog man in public, stabilized his senses and secretly regretted it, and buried himself in thinking about the aftermath. Once the news spreads, the emperor's generals, wealthy families, and sect masters will definitely gather in the ancient village to investigate, and the secret of immortality will be resurrected from the dead, the more the rich and noble people value it, and the prairie is bound to set off a bloody storm.
Gao Yuan's joke was actually more of a hint, just to get Qiu Xingchen out of the predicament, pretending to be annoyed and angry at the moment, and losing his temper with everyone.
"Lao Tzu is afraid of danger, so I am kind enough to take the lead, and I am not a qi refiner, how can I understand the mystery and mystery, and in a panic, I will treat the mist as a soul, what's so funny! Who dares to say this stinky thing, it will affect Lao Tzu's prestige and future, don't blame him for deliberately sending him to charge and die. ”
Qiu Xingchen self-confessed that he had a delusion due to panic, which completely dispelled the fear of the inspectors, and turned his head with a smile, several team members still had doubts in their hearts, and it was not good to ask for details when they saw this, Gao Yuan and Qiu Xingchen secretly remembered the appearance of several people in their hearts.
The standard commanders returned one after another, no one dared to open the sarcophagus, the other findings were similar, most of the cliffs and caves were poisonous insects, but they didn't seem to dare to leave far, someone dared to try, poisonous snakes and poisonous insects generally do not leave the stone platform and coffin lid, unless they deliberately lured and provoked, when they spoke, they found that the team members peeked at the Qiu school captain, and he said without saying a word with a straight face, and the secret road was really as bold as his name, and the school captain was very likely to be the culprit who deliberately provoked the poisonous snake, presumably suffered a big loss.
"Poisonous snakes and poisonous insects are the biggest threat to the upper and lower cliffs, remember not to deliberately disturb, hehe, your potion is very effective, in the past, in order to find a safe route, my group of tomb robbers lost several lives, they are all experienced veterans, and they all fell off the cliff and became flesh and bones. ”
Yeluqi was the last to come up, threw the iron rod back, paced to Gao Yuan's side with a hippie smile, groped with both hands on the rope around his waist a few times, Yan Zifeng and Chang Yunfei loosened the dead knot tied at the back of his waist, the rope fell to the ground with a snap, and the two of them were about to draw their swords and shine their swords.
"If I want to run away, why do I have to take the initiative to run to the cliff to the dead end, you two think that you are deliberately luring, and you want to use the cave to murder Captain Gao's life, think about it, there are three thousand elites in the ancient village, unless my brain is in the water, I will do a stupid thing that will end up with him." ”
The captain and the standard commander have explored the hanging coffin, a false alarm is not dangerous, there is enough anti-snake water, and there is no intention to provoke the poisonous snake, the upper and lower cliffs become frightening, more than 100 people acted separately, half a day to check all the hanging coffins, according to Yeluqi's instructions, in the cliff stone platform section to dig holes and piles, tie the rope to it, make a nearly 100 zhang long up and down rope ladder, the middle stone platform just as a resting place, leaving two people with foot anti-snake water vigilance, the others followed Yeluqi into the bottom of the hanging coffin cave.
Qiu Xingchen and the standard commanders left under the persuasion of Gao Yuan, and thousands of people were to be camped in Guzhai, and the chief officers could not leave the team for a long time, and military affairs in wartime must not be regarded as child's play.
The cliff cave is ten feet from the ground, standing on the stone platform and shouting loudly, a team of ambush soldiers came out from behind the rocks at the foot of the mountain, Yan Zifeng is not a lie, there is a rope to use, if Yeluqi is left alone, it is easy to get out and escape, but Yan Ning has always believed that he is prepared, he really wants to go down the rope from the cliff, and the strong fishing net is the destination, of course, the excuse is impeccable, to prevent someone from falling down the cliff.
"Captain Gao, you are really cautious, no wonder they are always staring at me with people, don't say I didn't get your acquiescence, hehe, the heart of defense is indispensable, Lao Tzu won't mind, but don't hurt people's hearts, if you want to kill people, you have to wait for my discovery to achieve results, maybe there will be new achievements at that time, hahaha." Anyone who lets people watch everywhere will inevitably be angry in their hearts, Yeluqi and the others carefully sprinkled the platform with anti-snake water, and then laughed mockingly: "The entrance of the cave is behind the sarcophagus, if it was really a snake nest, we would have died long ago." ”
Jerichy swaggered from the sarcophagus to the cliff and put his hand into the crevice of the cave, and the sound of metal grinding came from the cliff, which pierced Gao Yuan's ears. The sarcophagus slowly moved inwards and eventually disappeared from view, revealing a square hole in the cliff that was large enough for several people to enter and exit side by side.
Yeluqi stood at the entrance of the cave, stretched out his hand and pointed to the small bronze ring on his head, and explained with a mocking face: "There are nearly 100 hanging coffins on the cliff, and the cracks of the cave are all anti-theft and poisonous insects, who would believe that the most unsightly sarcophagus underneath will actually hide a mechanism, the predecessors of the master don't know how to discover the mystery, if there is no way to open the cave door, Captain Gao, who do you say will have the courage to reach in and grope, do you dare?",
There was no murderous aura in the cave, Gao Yuan still didn't dare to step into it rashly, ignoring Yeluqi's ridicule, and quietly released his own breath into the cave, after being sure that there was no danger within a few zhang, his left leg was a little ground, and the figure floated past Yeluqi like the wind, and when he woke up from the shock, Gao Yuan clenched his fist in his left hand and held a knife in his right hand to protect his head, face, chest and abdomen, and the person was already standing in the cave, and not far in front of him was the sarcophagus that slipped in.
There was no imaginary smell of decay in the cave, Gao Yuan gradually let go of his breathing, stopped Yan Zifeng and Chang Yunfei, who wanted to come in, and looked at Yeluqi and asked word by word: "There is no musty smell in the cave, you can feel the wind flowing, there should be an entrance and exit, you come and tell me, how to re-seal the entrance of the cave with the sarcophagus, do it for me in the cave, and move slowly, so as not to hurt people due to misunderstanding." ”
"The copper ring is the only opening mechanism, hehe, pulling a breath will only kill you in vain, you take a closer look at the root of the copper ring, do you find that there are seven bright spots, if I tell you, it is a seven-star beaded dark arrow that has not yet failed, will you believe it?"
After Yeluqi finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and pulled the copper ring, as Gao Yuan asked to slow down, and finally did not forget to explain in detail: "Twist the copper ring to control the movement of the sarcophagus, outside, you must first twist three times to the right, until you notice that the copper ring seems to shrink inward, you must twist back to the left four times within ten breaths, hehe, the control technique from the inside is just the opposite, first left and then right, the first four and then three." ”
Yeluqi twisted the copper ring, the sarcophagus slowly moved out in the friction sound, the cave changed from light to dark, and finally he couldn't see the five fingers, only Yeluqi's voice was echoing, he was deliberately doing it to Gao Yuan, so as not to think that he would dodge and escape in the dark, so that the cave was sealed, with Gao Yuan's shooting speed, in case of misunderstanding, he didn't even have a chance to explain.
"Yes, closing the door from the inside is the way you say, but what about opening the door? The black grunt can't see it, Yeluqi, don't take the opportunity to kill you, I can't see you, but I can hear the sound of moving, if you dare to move a step, don't blame me for shooting a poisonous crossbow." ”
Gao Yuan seems to be threatening, in fact, in the dark can see Ye Luqi's actions clearly, he did not reveal the hole cards that can secretly see things, Ye Lu Qi dares to play small moves, unless he wants to die together, Gao Yuan does not believe that there is no personal grudge between the two sides, he will poison for no reason, this can not be regarded as another test investigation.
"I'll show you clearly!"
Yeluqi's left hand lit up the fire fold, his right hand held the copper ring and twisted slowly, the sarcophagus moved inward again, and the entrance of the cave was gradually revealed, and Yan Zifeng and Chang Yunfei outside saw Gao Yuan standing in the cave unharmed, and embarrassedly hid the objects in their hands behind them.
"Don't hide, there must be something abnormal inside, you two will immediately put in the smoke, turn Lao Tzu to the ground, and then call someone to crack the method of opening the cave door. Yeluqi's scolding was a little sad, and he stretched out his hand to Yan Zifeng: "Now you can believe in Lao Tzu a little, bring the iron rod over, let you see the anti-theft methods of the ancients, alas, my partners should be as cautious as Captain Gao back then, and they will not let it be sealed alive." ”
The iron rod penetrated the copper ring, Yan Zifeng and Chang Yunfei lit up the fire fold according to Yeluqi's request, he held both ends of the iron rod and twisted it wildly, Gao Yuan's eyes shrank, and the seven bright lights flashed away, and the sarcophagus slid towards the entrance of the cave at an astonishing speed, sealing the cave tightly in a moment.
Jeluch reopened the hole in the correct way, stretched out the iron rod to the three of them, and there were a few more pierced holes on it, and he stretched out his hand to point to the bright spots around the copper ring, admiring and fearing at the same time.
"The iron rod can pierce it, and the human hand still needs to be said, the stone platform outside is only two or three feet away, and the person will instinctively withdraw his hand and retreat under the sting, and falling off the cliff is the only end. ”
Gao Yuan put away the short knife and crossbow, and Yeluqi showed that there was no malicious intent with his actions, and then showed obvious traces of prevention, which would make him feel disgusted.
"Throw the iron rod to the ground and be careful to stick the poison. ”
Takagaki felt more or less concerned about it, and shook his head and put away the iron rod.
"The predecessors who laid out the organs are very confident, more than ten zhang high cliffs, people will not be spared if they fall, first, they disdain to use poison on the hidden weapon, and secondly, they also have the meaning of leaving a line in everything, they can endure the stinging pain and not panic, and they have abolished the palm as a punishment, so they may as well leave a way to live. ”
On the walls of the cave on both sides, the extremely simple lines carved out rough human patterns, or worship the sun, moon and stars, or hunt wild beasts in groups, or sing and dance around the bonfire, there are so many strange things, Takagaki hurriedly looked at it and put it behind his head for the time being, and followed Yeluqi down the cave.
The cave rises and falls, turning left and turning right seems to have no end, fortunately there is no fork in the road, but there will always be a hidden mechanism at each bend, looking at the bones that can be seen on the ground from time to time, Gao Yuan several people followed Yeluqi closely, did not dare to step on the wrong step, turned the thirty-sixth bend, the cave suddenly opened up, six or seven zhang wide and more than ten zhang high, there are dozens of zhang long, there are two more rows of bronze statues next to the cave wall, watch in the dark, the majestic and majestic spirit, mixed with the indifferent and cold atmosphere.
Gao Yuan had an indescribable feeling, as if he felt that there were two majestic gazes at the end of the passage, which pierced directly into people's hearts, and an inexplicable summoning arose, allowing him to speed up the Qi Refining Technique, but he still couldn't completely suppress the desire to find out.
