The years of reselling the haunted house

Chapter 1066 Accidental Discovery

Qu Kangcheng waved his hand: "You're right. Although I don't know what is evil or not, based on my years of experience, the jade piece on it has changed. Of course I dare not touch it lightly."

I pointed to the few pieces of jade scattered on the ground beside the coffin and said, "Those pieces fell from his face, and those pieces haven't absorbed the evil spirit, so it's okay to take them out."

"Oh... that's good, then if I take them out, they should also have some archaeological value."

Qu Kangcheng put on his gloves, went over and carefully picked up a few pieces of jade, wrapped them in a piece of cloth and put them in his backpack.

Liang Yue sneered and said, "These are thanks to Meng Daqing. This bastard, if we knew he was this kind of person, we shouldn't have saved him. When I see him, I have to skin him."

Mentioning Meng Daqing, Liang Yue gritted his teeth with hatred.

I waved my hand: "Forget it. He hasn't experienced this before, and he may be thinking too much. Let's take this descendant of the royal family back first."

Liang Yue shook her head and sighed: "Li Yang, your heart is so kind."

"It's better to be kind than to be vicious. If you think about the good in everything, there will always be unexpected gains." I smiled.

After I said this, Liang Yue suddenly stared at my face for a long time.

I was taken aback: "What's wrong? What are you looking at?"

Liang Yue walked up to me, pursed her lips and smiled: "Li Yang, I found for the first time that in this environment, your smile is really bright and warm. I'm... a little drunk Oh... little brother, your smile is so beautiful..."

Liang Yue was next to me, and I took a step back subconsciously: "You...I... Liang Yue, your tone of voice can be regarded as teasing the opposite sex. This compliment is too sudden for me."

"Go, go, you're the one to tease me. I can't help boasting..." Liang Yue rolled her eyes and returned to normal.

"Don't be dazed, quickly help me move him into the coffin. You don't want to rely on that old man, do you?" I glanced at Qu Kangcheng who was not far away.

The old man was already physically and mentally exhausted after such a toss. At his age, it was difficult to recover quickly after exhaustion.He was sitting on the ground, panting heavily.

There is not enough oxygen down here, so staying for a long time is definitely not good for Lao Qu.

Liang Yue also took a look at Qu Kangcheng, and reluctantly came over to help me move the mummy.

Liang Yue conjured two cotton balls from the backpack and stuffed them into her nostrils, and took out a pair of gloves. After putting them all on, she and I went to move the mummy.

I looked funny, but in fact, when the ancient corpse of the descendant of the royal family attacked us, it was not a mummy.At that time, there should be water in his body.At this time, it has become a mummy, and the water must have disappeared.His overall weight has been greatly reduced.

I can move him back by myself. I called Liang Yue together, just to make her move and have something to do.Otherwise, in such a confined space, people's emotions are very likely to collapse quickly because of a certain node.The best way to solve this problem is to arouse people's excitement. What I just joked with her was also for this purpose.

The ancient corpse was not heavy, I lifted his head, Liang Yue frowned and lifted his feet.

The two of us carried the mummy back to the coffin, and prepared to put him back in its original form.

I wore a headlamp on my head, and when I was about to put the ancient corpse back, the light swept across the inside of the coffin.

The sarcophagus was empty, and there were no funerary objects.I thought to myself that this descendant of the royal family had a miserable life. He was living a good life, but he had to sacrifice his life.After he died, he didn't even have a decent burial object except for the golden jade robe on his body.

Since I was lifting the head of the ancient corpse, when I put him down, the headlight just shone on the head of the sarcophagus.

I suddenly discovered that the inside of the sarcophagus, the side near the head, seems to be different from other places, and there are faint patterns that can be seen faintly.

This caught my attention, and I quickly asked Liang Yue to put the mummy on the ground first.I shone it with my headlamp to see the pattern on the inner wall of the sarcophagus.

Perhaps also due to the age, the pattern on it also looks a little incomplete.

However, judging from the remaining pattern, it looks like a topographic map.

With this discovery, I was a little inexplicably excited, and hurriedly greeted Qu Kangcheng.

Lao Qu once restored the blueprint of the entire underground palace. Although only 60.00% of it was restored, it is already remarkable.He is definitely an expert in restoring maps.

Now that I found the map in the sarcophagus, I thought to myself, could it be that we should die, and God left us an escape route?

Qu Kangcheng was sitting on the ground resting with his back supported. He was startled when he heard my shout, thinking that something happened again.He stood up abruptly and looked at me blankly.

"Old Qu, Lao Qu, come and take a look, can you restore this map?" I hurriedly greeted him.

When Lao Qu heard the map, he cheered up, walked over quickly, took a torch, and leaned out to carefully examine the map on it.

Qu Kangcheng only glanced at it twice, then nodded again and again: "That's right, that's right, it's a topographic map. It seems to be the map inside the Nine Dragon Cauldron."

"Then take a good look, can you restore it?" I asked quickly.

"It should be fine. This map is much simpler. Give me some time." Qu Kangcheng nodded and continued to look at the map.At the same time, he took out a pen and paper from his bag, and sketched on the paper while looking at it.

Liang Yue also leaned over and questioned, "There's only such a big place in the Nine Dragon Cauldron, and it doesn't look complicated. What's the use of that map?"

"Are you smart and confused for a while? Of course it's useful. Think about it, if the king's money in the mouth of this royal descendant is really replaced by someone. Then how did that person get into the Jiulongding?" I don't believe it, he jumped from the top too. And how did Meng Daqing freely enter and exit the Nine Dragon Cauldron? All signs show that there must be secret doors and secret passages here. It's just that we can't find it. Then this The location of the corresponding secret door must be marked on the topographic map, and with the topographic map, we have hope of leaving here."

In fact, I don't need to explain so much to Liang Yue, she is so smart, she must be able to understand.My tireless explanation here is also comforting myself and giving myself a psychological comfort.

Because this is our last hope to get out of here, if the topographic map is useless, we may really be stuck here permanently.

Chapter 1067 Map of Nine Dragons and Nine Apertures

Inside the underground palace, especially the inside of the Nine Dragon Cauldron, the temperature is extremely low.It's just that since we came in, we have faced one emergency after another.So nothing else was considered.

Now that we are finally free, this icy space makes us shiver non-stop.

But watching Qu Kangcheng, Mao Yao was trying to restore the topographical map, but he was sweating profusely.Obviously, the difficulty of restoring the topographic map is not low.

I walked over and wiped the sweat from Qu Kangcheng's forehead and face with my sleeve, but he didn't respond at all, and concentrated all his energy on the picture.

I saw that on that piece of paper, he had already drawn some sketches, and the lines were quite complicated.I really don't understand that this seemingly ordinary Nine Dragon Cauldron can draw such a complicated figure.

Qu Kangcheng worked hard for half an hour, and finally shouted: "Yes, it's a success."

To be honest, half an hour has greatly exceeded my expectations.

Looking at the graphics in the sarcophagus, it was incomplete, and I thought it would take half a day to restore it completely.Unexpectedly, Qu Kangcheng's ability is really not blown out, this technique is really amazing.

Qu Kangcheng took the piece of paper he had drawn and spread it out on the ground.

The torch and the light from the headlamp shone on the paper at the same time.At first glance, the picture is very complicated, and it is a bit hard to understand.

Qu Kangcheng smiled shyly, and said, "I have no other choice. I'm running out of time. I can only work on this sketch. So some of it is useless."

I nodded: "Old Qu. As long as you can understand this map, please tell us about it. Is this the topographic map of the interior of the Nine Dragon Cauldron?"

Qu Kangcheng shook his head: "There is only such a big place in the Nine Dragons Cauldron, what kind of topographic map do you need? But this map is related to the Nine Dragons Cauldron. To be precise, it should be called the structure map more appropriately."

"Structure diagram?" Liang Yue and I asked at the same time.

"That's right. Look, here..." As he spoke, Qu Kangcheng pointed to a few points on the picture: "These places are where the holes on the top are located. It is from the inside of these holes to the outside. With the wind blowing, a certain amount of convection was formed. When we jumped from the top, it was the combined force formed by these winds that made us fall safely. Don’t think it’s as simple as leaving a few holes on the top, but this It needs to do enough articles on Jiulongding. Many details have to be considered."

Looking at the picture, I suddenly understood: "Old Qu, do you mean that there are many spaces between the inner wall and the outer wall of the Nine Dragon Cauldron. There are corresponding structural treatments inside. This structural drawing actually shows There?"

Qu Kangcheng nodded: "That's right."

"Is there a structure like a secret door? Let us get out?" I am still more concerned about this question.

"The secret door is not directly marked..."

When I heard that there was no secret door, I was extremely disappointed.

"However..." Qu Kangcheng suddenly changed the topic and said, "But there may be something we can use here."

I said with a bitter face, "Old Qu, now is the time, so don't be a fool. Just tell us everything you know."

Qu Kangcheng nodded: "I have almost restored the internal structure of the Nine Dragon Cauldron. But unfortunately, I don't know much about the structural principle of this kind of structure with too many traps. Does this thing contain many strange gates? I don’t know about mechanisms such as Dunjia. But I saw that there should be nine hidden holes in it.”

"A hidden hole? Then... isn't that a secret door? How do you say there is no one?" I was very excited when I heard it, and hurriedly asked.

Qu Kangcheng had a serious expression on his face: "That's just a hole, not a door. Besides, this picture only draws the points where the nine holes are located, and doesn't indicate the size. If it's just a ventilation hole, it won't fit. What if people get out?"

Qu Kangcheng is also a person who admits death, and argued hard with me.

I didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so I quickly waved my hands and said, "Okay, that's just a hole, not a door. Come on, where are those nine holes?"

I thought in my heart that those nine holes must be the passage that Meng Daqing just used to leave.Otherwise, Meng Daqing disappeared out of thin air, which is incomprehensible.

Qu Kangcheng pointed to the sarcophagus and said: "They wrote the name of this map on the sarcophagus, which seems to be about the Nine Dragon Cauldron and the nine holes. It's called Nine Dragons and Nine Apertures Map."

"Nine Dragons and Nine Apertures Map? Nine Dragons and Nine Apertures... Ah, could it be related to the Nine Orifices Bone?" I muttered, suddenly thinking of this.

After we entered this underground palace, we encountered the Nine-Aperture Linglong Bone.At that time, Ma Di explained to us, which gave us a deeper understanding and understanding of this nine-hole bone.

We know that Jiuqiaogu can gather souls and absorb souls.In addition, people who have mastered the nine orifices will become masters.

It's just that after that incident passed, we didn't encounter any related incidents about the Jiuqiao bone, so I didn't take the theory of Jiuqiao bone seriously.

Unexpectedly, we came here, and in the Nine Dragon Cauldron, the theory of Nine Apertures was mentioned again.

The three of us involuntarily looked at the ancient corpse we put on the ground, and walked over at the same time.

I put my hand on the ancient corpse's head.

At this time, he had turned into a mummy, his head was covered with skin and bones, and the shape of the skull was fully displayed.

I groped carefully on his skull. Everyone has the eyes, two nostrils, ears and mouth.I mainly touched the center of his brows and the top of his head, and sure enough, I found a pit in both places.

If you don't touch it with your hands, you can't see it from the surface.After touching it with your hands, the feeling of the pit is obvious.

I took my hand back, and Liang Yue asked, "How is it?"

I nodded: "He really is a nine-aperture exquisite bone."

Qu Kangcheng said: "In other words, the descendants of the royal family lying here are not randomly selected. It may be one of the necessary conditions to have the Jiuqiao Linglong bone. So it is not accidental that there are so many Jiuqiao Linglong bones here. It was done on purpose by those who set up the situation at that time.”

I couldn't help but praised: "This game is not so clever. The nine orifices can absorb the soul, and the soul is also the spirit. If you absorb the soul, you can absorb the spirit. This is to use so many nine-orifice exquisite bones to absorb the surrounding aura or dragons. What about Qi. With a good geomantic omen, plus the Nine Dragon Cauldron and the Nine Orifices Linglong Unit, are you afraid that the Dragon Qi won’t be able to absorb it?”

Qu Kangcheng pointed to the surrounding walls and said, "There are also nine orifices in the walls of the Nine Dragon Cauldron. Is it related to the nine orifices of this royal descendant?"

Chapter 1068 Ten Thousand Arrows Are Fired

I nodded: "It must be related. Since the main function of this descendant of the royal family is to absorb dragon energy, then through what to absorb it? It must be the nine orifices. In other words, the nine orifices of the descendant of the royal family should be the same as this The holes in the wall correspond to each other."

Qu Kangcheng nodded: "That's right. I see that there are indeed several connecting lines on the structural diagram. I didn't understand what it meant at the beginning. Looking at it now, it turns out that the nine orifices are interconnected."

The more we analyzed, the more I felt hopeful to go out, so I continued to analyze along this line of thinking: "What is certain now is that there must be a secret passage here, which can accommodate a person to go out and in. Then from the human skull From the perspective of the nine orifices, whichever is the largest, the one corresponding to the wall should be the secret door that can be walked out."

Liang Yue interjected: "The biggest orifice on the skull must be the mouth. Find the position on the wall that corresponds to the mouth, and you will find a way out... Come on, Old Qu, find that position..."

Qu Kangcheng said: "This must be identified accurately. If you find the wrong one, I suspect that there has been a mechanism here. If we fail the mechanism, we may be in danger."

Liang Yue waved her hand: "It can't be wrong, it must be the mouth, otherwise, which orifice is as big as the mouth?"

Qu Kangcheng nodded: "Okay, I've already taken a look at it, the orifice should be here..."

While talking, Qu Kangcheng led Liang Yue to walk half a circle around the wall, and stopped at a place.

They groped a few times on the nearby wall, and Liang Yue said pleasantly: "Yes, there is a bump here, it must be a mechanism to open the passage."

It seemed that Liang Yue was going to press that mechanism.

I didn't go with them while they were talking and looking for their mouth.I was thinking about a question, would it be too easy for us to find this secret door passage?Will the designer of the mechanism set it so simply?

After Liang Yue finished saying that, I rushed towards them and stopped her at the same time: "Liang Yue, don't move..."

But what I said was still a step late. When I rushed towards them, Liang Yue's hand had already pressed them.

There was a slight rattling sound coming from inside, and a dark hole slowly appeared on the wall.

"I found it, the secret door appeared." Liang Yue and Qu Kangcheng were overjoyed, and neither of them noticed what I just shouted.

Hearing the rattling sound, I felt something was wrong even more.

I didn't care about other things, I rushed over at the fastest speed, reached out and grabbed the two of them, and quickly backed away.

Liang Yue was a little puzzled, and subconsciously wanted to break free.

"It's too late to explain, hurry up and hide." I pulled the two of them and squatted in the sarcophagus.Fortunately, the wall was only two steps away from the sarcophagus, and we had time to hide in it.

Even so, the situation is extremely thrilling.As soon as we lay down, we heard the sound of bowstrings collapsing from the four walls.At the same time, something rained out, and when it hit the outside of the sarcophagus, there was a sound of metal impact.

We hunkered down and didn't dare to raise our heads. We didn't stop until the situation lasted for about 2 minutes.

Only then did we slowly raise our heads from the sarcophagus and look outside.

As a result, the scene outside left us dumbfounded.

I saw that kind of short arrows all over the place, less than half a foot in length, but the arrows were all glowing with cold light.Although it has been 200 years, it can be seen that it is still sharp.

Roughly estimated, there were at least several hundred arrows shot out.

What is even more shocking is that the ancient corpse of the descendant of the royal family that we just put on the ground was covered with dense arrows like a hedgehog.

You know, that ancient corpse has become a mummy, its body is almost covered with skin and bones, and the arrow can penetrate the skin and directly hit the bone, which shows how powerful it is.

And this ancient corpse was lying on the ground, and it couldn't dodge those arrows.Obviously, there are no dead ends in the inner space of the Nine Dragon Cauldron.
