Chapter five hundred and fifty nine broken jade
Senior Brother Geng pointed to the base of the wall and said to me: "There is a lead brick there with yin and yang sand attached to it. There are many similar mechanisms in the secret passages of the ghost market."
I squatted down and looked at the position of Senior Brother Geng's fingers. Under the illumination of the fox fire, the bricks in this area looked no different from other places, and I don't know how Senior Brother Geng distinguished them.
At this time, Senior Brother Geng said behind me: "This tomb must have been designed by our Soul Village."
"Our ancestors do things naturally have the truth of their ancestors," I took the fox fire lantern from Xian'er and said to Senior Brother Geng: "Actually, I have always suspected that the nine tombs used to place Yin Yu were actually made by our Soul-Jiezhuang."
While speaking, I raised the lantern and looked into the deepest part of the secret passage. Not far ahead was a corner, and there was reflection. I could vaguely tell that there were traces of carved marks on the stone wall at the corner.
When I picked up the coffin lid, I almost used all my strength. Until now, I was still a little weak and could no longer carry Dawei forward. Later, Senior Brother Geng carried Dawei on his back and continued to move towards the depths of the secret passage.
When I got to the corner, I looked at the carvings on the stone wall. It was a relief with a similar appearance to a cow. The hair on the cow was portrayed very thickly, one by one, standing upside down, like barbs. What's even more strange is that the cow had three eyes on its face, one of which was in the center of its forehead.
Senior Brother Geng asked me from behind: "What is this?"
I shook my head: "I don't know. Among the ancient evil beasts, there were many three eyes, but they had a cow's body and a hedgehog skin... It seemed that there was no one."
After saying that, I walked around the corner with a lantern.
The corner was ninety degrees, with one end connected to a secret passage made of stone slabs, and the other end was a wide natural tunnel. There was some water accumulation on the ground of the tunnel. I squatted down and sink my fingers into the water without any abnormal feeling, which means that the water was not Yin Tang.
I stood up, waved to the person behind me, and continued to move forward.
The tide in the tunnel was very heavy, and when I walked inside, I had to look back at the people behind me every few steps to confirm that there was nothing wrong with them.
The deeper you go, the wider the tunnel becomes. When you first came in, it was only three or four meters away. But now, the left and right width of the tunnel has reached more than ten meters, and a large number of stalactites have emerged on the ground.
Under the illumination of the fox fire, I saw many spherical things arranged a hundred meters ahead. Their numbers were huge, and under the background of the green fire, they reflected oily light.
Seeing these things, I immediately raised my hand, signaled everyone to slow down, and then moved forward carefully.
As I got closer, I realized that all of those things were huge eggs. They were translucent and you could see the embryos inside through the eggshell.
They all have a little wolf-like head, a primate forelimbs, and a long tail. These are all embryos of snipers. The place we are in should be the incubation room of snipers.
Senior Brother Geng walked to a sniper egg, bent down and looked carefully, and then said to me: "These eggs are all fossils and cannot be hatched."
I also bent down and knocked on the egg closest to me. The touch was indeed no different from hitting a stone.
Looking around, there are at least thousands of sniper egg fossils in this small space. It should be that the person who designed the tombs placed them here with the living sniper. More than a thousand years have passed, and in order to protect these "eggs", the sniper has never left.
I took out a flashlight and looked at the depths that the fox fire could not illuminate. I thought there was a high chance that there would be a bottomless darkness ahead, but I didn't expect that after the searchlight passed through the incubation room, there was a reflection in front of me, that is, we were almost at the deepest part of the secret passage.
After that, I shook the flashlight again, letting the beam sweep left and right at the end of the secret passage. When the beam moved to the extreme right position, something flashed.
I let the beam shake a few times again, and at the same position, there was another flashing reflection.
"Houzai, I will post a few more evil-proof talismans to Shouhou, Senior Brother Geng and Dawei." I turned around and said to Liang Houzai.
Liang Houzai immediately took out the evil-proof talisman and pasted it on Senior Brother Geng and the other two.
I asked Senior Brother Geng again: "Senior Brother, are you carrying a container for Yin Yu?"
Senior Brother Geng nodded quickly and took out a square box from his pocket. This was a very heavy lead box, with Yin and Yang Bagua engraved on the front and Four Symbols picture engraved on the back.
When I reached out to pick up the box, Senior Brother Geng hesitated for a moment and asked me: "Can you be sure that Yin Yu is flashing?"
I shook my head: "I can't sense the Qi field now, I can't confirm it, but I think the chance of that thing being Yin Yu is very high."
Senior Brother Geng then handed the box to me and said to me: "If the things there are not Yin Yu, don't put them in this box."
I nodded and asked Senior Brother Geng and Liu Shangang to stay where they were. Then I took Liang Houzai, Luo Fei and Xian'er to cross the large zither sniper eggs and walked towards the position where the flash appeared.
I dare not let Senior Brother Geng and the others follow because I was afraid that they would be affected by Yin Yu. Although they now have Liang Houzai's evil-proof talisman, it can be considered that they are affected by Liang Houzai's mental power. Senior Brother Zhuang once conducted an experiment and found that Yin Yu could not copy people and objects with mental power, but that was in the laboratory and now in the tomb. No one could say whether the nature of Yin Yu would change after changing the environment.
When I arrived near the stone wall, I took out a flashlight and illuminated the flash point just now. The light of the flashlight was too strong. I just saw a small diamond-shaped stone inlaid on the wall. Its shape and size were very similar to the Yin jade we saw before, but this alone cannot prove that it is Yin jade.
Liang Houzai said to me next to me, "Brother Dao, try it with the Soul-Closing Talisman."
I immediately took out a soul seal talisman and threw it towards the stone wall. However, I didn't expect that when the soul seal talisman flew in mid-air, it ignited a flame and burned into ashes within a few seconds.
The only thing that can consume the spiritual charm on the Soul-Closing Talisman in such a short time seems to be the pure Yin Qi on the Yin Jade.
Then, I took the flashlight and carefully illuminated every corner of the stone wall, wanting to see if there were anything similar to Yin Yu, but apart from this small diamond-shaped stone, I looked at it carefully over and over again, but I didn't see any other inlays on the stone wall.
When Senior Brother Geng gave me the box just now, he told me not to put anything other than Yin Yu in it, which made me hesitate. I just didn't know what would happen if the small stone in front of me that was invisible to the color was not Yin Yu, and I put it in the box again.
I stood there, pondered for a while, but finally reached out and picked the small stone on the wall. When I touched it, my whole arm became numb in an instant. At this time, a chill appeared behind me. This chill instantly wandered around my whole body, making me feel relaxed, and the perception on my arms returned to normal.
It seems that even if the things in my hand are not Yin Yu, they are still something with strong evil spirits.
I opened the box, put it in carefully, and carefully covered the box lid, and nothing happened.
I, and Liang Houzai, Xian'er, Luo Fei and the other three around me, didn't say anything. Everyone held their breath and stared at the lead box less than the size of a palm.
One minute, two minutes... Five minutes passed and nothing happened. I sighed and broke the dead silence around me: "It should be Yin Yu. The first two times I entered the big tomb, as long as I moved Yin Yu, the evil things guarding the jade in the tomb would be restless. But why is this quiet this time?"
Luo Fei thought for a while and said, "The evil thing that guarded the jade...is not the one that just now..."
Xian'er reminded: "Ziz sniper."
Luo Fei: "Isn't it just the sniper just now?"
I shook my head: "It shouldn't be."
The evil guarding jade in the Dragon King’s tomb is a bone-smelled corpse dragon. Although we have never seen the evil things in the Northeast underground palace, we can be sure that they should be a great monster who has been practicing for thousands of years. These two evil things can destroy the world, but once they appear, they will not grow in hundreds of miles of grass in a radius.
Compared with them, the snipers are too weak.
When we returned to Senior Brother Geng with the lead box, Dawei had already woken up. He seemed to be confused at the time, just sat on the ground, staring at the ground with his head down. He didn't look up when we walked past him.
After handing the lead box to Senior Brother Geng, I said to Senior Brother Geng again: "The thing on the wall should be Yin Yu. Take care of the box and don't let the things inside fall out."
Senior Brother Geng nodded, then took out a large bundle of thin thread from his backpack and wrapped the lead box three layers outside and three layers tightly.
I raised my chin to Liu Shangang: "Skinny Monkey, what time is it?"
Liu Shangang looked at his watch and replied: "Just just passed twelve fifty."
Liang Houzai said before that we need to return to the tomb chamber from four to four to twenty-four, eight to twenty-four, to find the way out of the tomb.
I saw it was still early, so I asked everyone to eat something and take a nap to recover their energy.
When I handed a compressed biscuit to Dawei, Dawei's consciousness regained his mind. He asked me where this place was, why did he fainted just now, and asked me why he felt a pain in his ears.
I only told him that this is the place where Yin Yu is stored. Now Yin Yu is on Senior Brother Geng. His eardrum hurts because a sniper was crying beside him just now. The sound was too loud and it hurt his ears to a certain extent.
As for how he fainted, I didn't respond to this question. He took the compressed biscuits in a daze and didn't ask any more questions.
After dinner, everyone rested on the spot, waiting for time to pass by little.
I plan to leave here immediately at four o'clock. After all, the sniper is still outside, and after going out, I may have to be stalemate with it for a while.
Just as I was thinking about the sniper, Liang Houzai came over and asked me: "Brother Dao, why are there no sniper outside?"
I thought about it and said, "Maybe it knows that it can't break the sarcophagus."
Liang Houzai obviously disagrees with my answer. He frowned and shook his head slightly: "You said, will there be other ways to get here?"
After hearing what he said, I stood up from the ground with a "swish", picked up the flashlight, and searched the surrounding stone walls.
