Artisans in Tunli

Chapter 95 Psychic Ritual
In the tomb, in addition to the position of the tomb passage, there may also be many traps in the passage.

We are not tomb robbers, and we have no way to go directly to the main tomb.Although this tomb has been excavated by the Soul Sect people before, it cannot be ruled out that they did not set any fresh traps in it when they left.

According to Xiao Qian, this mausoleum does not actually belong to any relatives of the Jin Dynasty, and there is no gold, silver or jewelry to be guarded against, so there is no need to worry about the authority.Soul Sect put the information here, mainly to scare those who entered by mistake.

"What happened to the zombies in the tomb passage? Do you want to understand?" I hurriedly asked him.

He thought for a while and said solemnly: "I don't know about this. I just joined the Soul Sect not long ago. When I came here, I only got a floor plan."

As soon as he mentioned the floor plan, I quickly asked him to take it out. When he was flipping through the bag, I saw that he was bulging, and I didn't know what was in it, maybe food and drink.

"Here, it's actually nothing, it's not very complicated here."

After looking at the picture, I found that it was indeed as he said, except for a main tomb, there was no back room or ear room.He stuffed the picture into his pocket, and continued to follow him forward.

"bang"

A gunshot was heard behind him, and it was extremely deafening in this not-so-open space.I quickly used my luck to protect myself and pushed Jiang Shan to the wall.

This foreigner is really tough, he was not killed by zombies.

I don't know what he was muttering about, but I was angry when I saw that he didn't dare to move forward, but hid behind a stone pillar at the junction of the tomb passage and the corridor.

When he was looking at Jiang Shan's butt just now, I was going to beat him up. This time you escaped from death and stabbed someone in the back.I'm definitely going to keep my promise.

Thinking of this, I used luck with one hand to reach the fingertips, and directed two blows at the foot leaking from the stone pillar.After being hit by the trick, the foreigner screamed loudly, and part of the gun in his hand was exposed.

So I took the opportunity to send another blow to the trigger position, and the trigger flew out with his finger.

To be honest, I'm not the cruel type, and it wasn't my intention to knock off his fingers.But I don't know why, the moment I saw my finger was broken, I felt an inexplicable pleasure in my heart.It may be the reason why I feel depressed all the time after going down to the tomb.

"Thirteen! Xiao Qian is gone." Jiang Shan's words made me shiver.

Let me just say that something is wrong with him, I don't know what he is going to do.Looking back, there are shadows in the main tomb, and they should have entered.

Turning to the foreigner's position, I found that he was limping and walking back quickly, not knowing what he was going to do.

Forget it, let’s go see what Xiao Qian is doing first.I signaled Jiang Shan to stay here, and I went in to see him.If the foreigner comes back again, he can greet me, so that I can give him a good time.Another one, if Xiao Qian sneaks up on me inside, she can also take care of me outside.

Jiang Shan nodded, agreeing.

After entrusting everything, I trotted into the main tomb.As soon as I entered, I first smelled a faint scent of sandalwood. After seeing that the coffin was still intact, I didn't understand where the sandalwood came from.

After scanning around, he didn't see Xiao Qian himself.I thought to myself, just now I clearly saw that there seemed to be a figure walking around here, why when I came in, there was nothing?
There is not much space in the main tomb, and visually, there is no exit.The ground was empty, maybe the funeral objects had been taken away by the Soul Sect.

So I took a closer look at the coffin, which was still in the style of Russian nesting dolls.The outside is stone, and the inside has not been opened to see.

But don't worry, because the carved pictures on the sarcophagus caught my attention.Looking at it carefully, I don't know the meaning of the content of this painting, but the single pattern analysis may be the owner's previous experience.

Most of them depict scenes in the court, which are really boring, but the last one depicts a person who is presenting a large box to someone similar to the emperor or a high official.

The superb carving skills let me see the excitement on the face of the emperor or high official at a glance.While thinking about what was in the box on the painting, Jiang Shan walked in and asked me why I was here by myself.

"I don't know. As soon as I came in, I found that there was no one inside." After I finished speaking, I pointed to the painting on the sarcophagus and asked her to come over and take a look. After she had seen it, she also expressed that she didn't know what was going on, and shook her head repeatedly.

For a while, I didn't know what to do next, so I leaned against the wall and thought.When it was attached to the wall, I suddenly felt a bumpy feeling on my back.

Subconsciously looking back, the patterned reliefs on the wall immediately reminded me of the stone chamber in Heigouzi, and the alchemy room under the ancient well in Yinyangtun. I also saw the same patterns.Is there any connection between them?

Immediately afterwards, I quickly shone my flashlight on the wall, hoping to see something like an oil lamp.But after looking around, I didn't see what I wanted to see.

"Thirteen, look here, why is there a lump here?"

I walked quickly to Jiang Shan's position, and found that there was a protrusion under the head of the sarcophagus, like a button.I thought, this should be the button to open the hidden door.I pressed it without thinking, and then on the ground behind us, a large stone brick slowly moved in, and after a while, a secret passage was revealed.

After looking at Jiang Shan, I planned to go down.Suddenly, I heard a loud noise in my ears, as if something had exploded, and then I felt a vibration on the ground. I thought that there must be something wrong down there, so I planned to go down.But after a while, it was discovered that it was not the shaking below, but the whole tomb was shaking.

The stone bricks above my head also began to fall down one after another. I used my breath to cover the top of us, and said to Jiang Shan, "This place seems to be collapsing. If you go down, you may not be able to get out."

"But we're all here, let's go down, we'll think about it later." After speaking, Jiang Shan got into the secret passage, I gritted my teeth, bent down and followed.

After walking two steps in the secret passage, the entrance of the secret passage was blocked by a large stone brick that fell from above.Now, looking back, it seemed impossible, so he continued to follow Jiang Shan.

Only a few meters away, we felt that the surrounding space slowly opened up.The stairs also began to level out, and finally came to a short corridor.

The inside here is different from the stone room outside, and it looks like a modern product, because I also saw an iron ventilation window.

"Thirteen, why do you think the Soul Sect built a passage below here?" Jiang Shan looked at me and said.

I thought for a while and said, "There must be some ulterior secret here. Besides, the wall and floor tiles seem to have been added later. It must have collapsed before."

Just thinking about it, we have come to the end, and there is a hole in front of us, and there is still a dim light shining inside, so we quickly lowered our body and walked in with Jiang Shan.

As soon as he entered, he saw Xiao Qian standing inside, as if he was performing a trick.There is a demon mask on the head, wearing a black robe, and red cropped shorts underneath, which are embroidered with flame patterns with gold thread.In his left hand, he held a bone blade that seemed to be made of a human leg bone; in his right hand, he held a gaudy skull, and he was chanting aloud with his eyes closed.

Jiang Shan and I hid by the cave and watched the changes. After a while, his eyes widened with anger, and his eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of white mist. He was completely different from him before.

Listening to him chanting the mantra, his eyes began to scan the environment in the cave.The space inside is very spacious, and some white bones and utensils are scattered in every corner of the ground.Right in front of Xiao Qian's body, besides a large jar, there is also a huge unknown object covered by a red cloth.Judging from our point of view, it may be something like a large wardrobe.

Looking at Xiao Qian again, he was no longer satisfied with chanting mantras, and started dancing directly.Immediately afterwards, he threw down the skull in his hand, took out a drum from his arms, and beat it cracklingly with the bone blade in his hand.

"He seems to be performing a psychic ritual." Jiang Shan said at this time.

"Psychic? He doesn't want to summon demons!" Thinking of what I saw in the trap before, and the plague demon Jiang Shan described to me, I immediately became alert.

"Maybe, we can't let him continue. Anyway, I don't feel very good now. Look at that!"

After Jiang Shan finished speaking, she stared wide-eyed and looked into the distance. It seemed that there was something inside the unknown object that was supposed to be covered by the red cloth, and it was crawling out of me.I thought something bad, Xiao Qian's ceremony should be completed.I quickly pulled out the copper coin sword and threw it at the red cloth.

Xiao Qian saw the copper coin sword, jumped up unhurriedly, and then knocked it flying with the bone blade.After landing, his eyes stared straight at us, and the curse in his mouth still didn't stop.

Now that he found out, he no longer hid, and quickly stood up, luckily, and directed at the raised area of ​​the red cloth several times in a row.The things inside the red cloth retreated again and again, and there was a roaring sound.

"You continue to attack the red cloth, I will deal with Xiao Qian!" Before I could refute, Jiang Shan drew her sword and rushed towards Xiao Qian.

But Jiang Shan underestimated Xiao Qian, or the Xiao Qian in front of him is no longer the person we knew before.He dodged Jiang Shan's attack unhurriedly, and the movements of his mouth and hands were not affected at all.

Just when Jiang Shan had started to withdraw and planned to discuss the strategy with me again, I knocked down the red cloth all of a sudden.We were both dumbfounded by the sight inside.
