The years of reselling the haunted house

And the sarcophagus we are hiding in is the only place where we can avoid the arrows.

This is also thanks to the fact that we didn't put the ancient corpse in the sarcophagus, otherwise, the sarcophagus would not be able to accommodate the three of us, and the three of us would be completely exposed to the attacks of the authorities.

Now that I think about it, I am terribly afraid. Just now we really walked around the gate of hell, and all of us broke out in a cold sweat.

With lingering fears in our hearts, we hid in the sarcophagus and waited for another ten minutes. After confirming that nothing happened, we carefully crawled out of it.

Liang Yue wiped the sweat off her brow and sighed, "It's too dangerous. Li Yang, you saved us all. How do you know that this secret door is not a safe passage?"

I shook my head to wake myself up as soon as possible, but my head is still groggy now.The scene that just happened made me feel a little bit of a world away.

I said lightly: "Actually, the most important reason is intuition. I feel that we found this passage too easily. In addition, when you opened the secret door, I seemed to hear a rattling sound. But In my memory, when Meng Daqing left here, I did not hear a similar sound. In other words, if I remember correctly, he should not have left through this secret door."

Liang Yue looked at me and said, "At that time we were fighting hard with that jade figurine, can you still hear the movement from here?"

I nodded: "Of course, it's so quiet here, I will definitely notice a little noise. Even if I didn't notice the movement here. Later, when you went to open the secret door, I felt the dark There is something wrong with the door corresponding to the mouth opening of the descendant of the royal family. The mouth of the ancient corpse should indicate that there is also something in the passage, and the road is blocked. Of course, these are just speculations. Heat rushed up and pulled you back. So in fact, I can't be sure what kind of thought I came from, even if it was intuition, it's God's will."

Qu Kangcheng glanced at me and praised: "Li Yang, your brain is really not simple. You can think of so many things in just a few seconds. This time we really saved a life. See here It’s not as safe as it seems on the surface, we’ll pay more attention later.”

The secret door on the wall was closed again after the arrows were released.The entire wall looks seamless, without any gaps.

We couldn't help admiring the craftsmanship of the ancient masons again. This is simply a seamless work of art made of stones. It is really not easy whether it is design or workmanship.

Chapter 1069

Liang Yue looked at the wall and said, "Then this passage is dead, where should we leave?"

Qu Kangcheng said, "Listen to Li Yang's opinion."

I thought about it and said: "At that time we chose the mouth opening because it was the largest among the nine openings. I feel that this idea is still correct. Since the mouth opening is not successful, we can just find the next one. The head of the ancient corpse has been touched, except for the mouth opening, it is the opening on the top of the head. According to the location, it should be the commonly known Niwan Palace."

"Nidwan Palace? That's the fontanel of infancy." Qu Kangcheng asked.

I nodded: "Niwan Palace, also known as Huangting or Tiannao. It is the most important thing in a person's body. It has the power to capture the gods, illuminate the consciousness, and nurture the soul of the person. It is also the way for practitioners to draw Qi into the body. , tempering itself, the place where the three treasures of essence, energy and spirit are united. It seems that this is one of the nine orifices, and there is a certain reason. In terms of importance, it is no less than the other eight orifices. If you have to find a channel If not, I'd rather find this one."

Qu Kangcheng said: "What you said makes sense. I'll look for it and find out where this orifice is on the wall."

Qu Kangcheng took the picture in his hand, compared it with the position on the wall, searched for a while, then walked to a position on the wall, and said, "This is probably the position."

We took a look on the wall, and sure enough, we found a slight protrusion, just like the secret door just now.There were also no gaps in the wall.

I took a look at the location, it was a little far away from where we were fighting the ancient corpse.But it was very close to the place where Meng Daqing fell.

If Meng Daqing came over and opened the secret door to escape without our attention, it is very possible.

So I can basically be sure that this secret door should not be bad.But I really didn't dare to bet, so I turned around and said to Lao Qu and Liang Yue: "Although I feel that it should be this door, just in case, you two hide in the sarcophagus, and I will open this door myself." Daomen."

Qu Kangcheng was taken aback: "That won't work. If you're not sure, then let's think of another way. We can't take this risk."

I smiled bitterly and said, "Old Qu, there is no other way. This is the only way for us to get out. Don't worry, I'm [-]% sure."

Qu Kangcheng said: "That won't work either. For the time being, we haven't reached the end of the mountain. Since Meng Daqing can come in from the outside, it means that there is also a passage outside. We can wait until Ma Di and the others find the secret door, and they will come in to rescue him." We are."

I shook my head: "I guess Ma Di and the others must be in trouble. Otherwise, it would be impossible to separate from Meng Daqing. Otherwise, they are still waiting for us to rescue them."

Liang Yue said: "In that case, I'll open the secret door. I'm better than you, so I might still have a chance to escape. After I flipped the switch, I quickly jumped into the sarcophagus."

I estimated the distance, and it is farther away from the sarcophagus than the secret door just now.We were lucky enough to avoid those arrows just now, partly because I discovered it early, and I had already rushed over when Liang Yue pressed the switch.On the other hand, it is also because it is relatively close to the sarcophagus, so we can hide in it in two steps.

But it can't work here, there are at least five or six steps away from the sarcophagus, no matter how fast Liang Yue is, he probably won't be able to avoid this barrage of arrows.

I took a deep breath and waved my hands: "We must agree at this time, and we can't waste any more time. Just follow what I said, you two will hide in the sarcophagus immediately, and I will open the secret door."

Seeing that my attitude was so firm, Liang Yue had no choice but to drag Qu Kangcheng into the sarcophagus.Standing in the sarcophagus, her eyes shone brightly, and she shouted tremblingly: "Li Yang..."

Seeing Liang Yue pursing her lips, I was about to cry.This is very rare for a girl with her personality.

I squeezed out a smile and nodded heavily towards Liang Yue: "Liang Yue, trust me..."

Liang Yue also nodded at me: "Li Yang, press the switch and hide immediately. If you don't have time to run, lie on the ground."

I smiled, turned around without comment, and faced the wall, staring at the bulge on the wall.Liang Yue's confession, even she probably knew it, was impossible.Judging from the secret door just now, unless he could run into the sarcophagus, or escape into the ground, or jump to a height of more than five meters, otherwise he would definitely not be able to escape the ambush of that mechanism.

I turned my back to Liang Yue and Qu Kangcheng, and said: "You two hide your body, I'm going to press the switch... If...fail, you can find the position corresponding to the brow center. If it's not right here, there Sure."

For these two positions, I have already made a trade-off in my mind. For the correct escape route, I basically choose one of these two positions.Where I am, the possibility should be greater.

If I'm wrong, there's only one possibility left.Liang Yue and Qu Kangcheng can successfully open the passage and leave here.However, by then, I should have turned into a hedgehog like that mummy.

So when I said these words, I had a generous heart to die.

"Hide it well." Since I was going to die, I might as well be more righteous, so I yelled and stretched out my hand to press the protrusion on the wall.

When I pressed my hand on it, I subconsciously closed my eyes.

With a sinking hand, the protrusion was pressed down.

First of all, I didn't hear the slight rattling sound. My heart moved, and I quickly opened my eyes, and found that the wall was slowly opened just like the one just now.

A dark secret door appeared in front of him.

My nerves were tense, and I didn't wait for the kind of arrows to be fired.After hanging for half a minute, my heart finally fell to the ground.

I breathed out the puff of breath I was holding in my chest, and said, "It's a success, the bet is right."

Liang Yue and Qu Kangcheng also rushed out of the sarcophagus, Liang Yue grabbed my arm, also overjoyed: "Li Yang, it's a success, it's a success."

With a crying sound, Liang Yue almost cried with joy, one can imagine how worried she was just now.

I also realized that my body was also dripping with cold sweat, and my clothes were even wet with sweat.The pressure I was under was beyond comprehension for outsiders.

The secret door opened slowly, revealing a hole about half a meter in diameter.

This hole is indeed smaller than the hole in the mouth just now, but it is enough for a person to get in.

Obviously, Meng Daqing escaped along this hole, and probably got in through this hole as well.

Chapter 1070

After a lot of tossing, we finally found the escape route, and we were very excited in our hearts.

I turned around and took a look, and couldn't help but feel deeply moved.

At that time, I insisted on putting the mummy of the descendant of the royal family back into the sarcophagus. In fact, I didn't think much about it at the time.The sarcophagus has been with him for 200 years, and we have to let him lie back when we leave.

It turned out that when we put him back, I found the structure diagram carved in the sarcophagus.

Only then did Qu Kangcheng restore the structure diagram, and we were able to find the passage to leave here.

Isn't this what the dead soul of the mummy gave us in the dark?

From this, I believe in a saying, people are doing what the sky is watching, and you must be worthy of your conscience when you do things at any time.If you keep doing this, it will always pay off.

Thinking of this, I called Liang Yue back, and put the mummy back in the sarcophagus again.

The mummy was full of arrows, and it looked miserable.

I bowed three times to the mummy and said, "Thank you for showing us the way out. It's just that we are short on time, so we can't help you remove the arrows from your body. Please forgive me."

Liang Yue waved her hand: "You don't need to say sorry to him, we've been here for so long, we're already old friends."

As he spoke, Liang Yue clasped his fists at the mummy: "Old friend. That's it for this time. If there is a chance, I'll burn a few more sticks of incense for you, hehe..."

After being stuck here for so long, and finally about to leave, Liang Yue was also in a good mood, and even joked with the mummy.

I hurriedly urged: "You can't stay here for a long time, just leave here first."

With that said, the three of us got into the hole one by one.

Not long after we got in, the hole closed itself.It seems that the time it is turned on is also limited.

The organs built by the ancients actually have the function of timing, which really opened my eyes.

I was the first to get in. The entrance of the hole was only about half a meter. After I got in, I found that the hole did not extend forward flatly. After climbing a short distance, there was a vertical downward hole. channel.

Fortunately, I used my headlamp to illuminate the vertical passage in time, otherwise I might have accidentally fallen straight down.

I illuminated it with a headlamp, and found that there were still stone stairs carved in the vertical passage.Follow the stone ladder and you should be able to reach the bottom.

Seeing this vertical passage, I immediately understood the structure here.

You must know that the building we entered is called Jiulongding.From the outside, it looks like a huge stone tripod.

This Jiulong tripod has the same shape as an ordinary tripod, and it also has tripod feet.Every tripod leg under this tripod is very thick.It's just that the tails of the nine dragons on the tripod were almost dragged to the ground, which made us not pay much attention to the tripod's feet.

The three tripod legs of Jiulong Ding support the tripod body and stand in the space of this underground palace.

At that time, in order to avoid those fire silkworms, we climbed along the body of the tripod to the mouth of the tripod and jumped in.

When we step on the ground, we are actually stepping on the body of the tripod.

The body of the tripod did not directly touch the ground, but was separated by three tripod legs.

And we found the passage, and this vertical passage should be one of the three tripod legs.

As long as we climb down along the tripod legs, we will reach the ground of the underground palace.

Seeing the hope, I was full of confidence, and I went down with my body, stepping on those stone stairs to climb down.

I noticed that the stone ladder should have been covered with dust, but there were obvious traces of rubbing.Obviously, someone should have passed by here not long ago.

This further proves that Meng Daqing entered and left the Nine Dragon Cauldron through this passage.

The inside of the feet of the Nine Dragon Cauldron is even more airtight. After climbing down for a while, I was short of breath and covered in sweat.

I was afraid that Qu Kangcheng's body would not be able to bear it, so I accelerated the speed of descending.

Fortunately, there were no other obstacles along the way. After going down for about ten minutes, the stone ladder finally came to an end.

I also stepped on real ground.

The space on the ground was relatively large, so I greeted Liang Yue and Qu Kangcheng, and the three of us stood in place with headlamps and flashlights to shine around.

I thought that at the bottom, there should be a door leading to the space outside the Nine Dragon Cauldron.

Who knows, there is actually a passage here, leading to another direction.It's just that the passage no longer goes up or down, it's already straight.

We briefly met, and decided that no matter what, we must follow this passage to the end.

We walked forward for some distance and soon came to the end.

But we didn't see a door in front of us.I was startled, and walked over quickly, lit it with a headlamp, and touched the wall with my hands, trying to see if there were any mechanisms on it.

But after looking at it and touching it, I was very disappointed. The wall was bare, not to mention the switch, not even the slightest bump.

My heart was filled with ashes, and I finally found a passage. When I got here, it turned out to be a dead end.Doesn't this mean that all our previous efforts were in vain?

When Liang Yue and Qu Kangcheng saw my appearance, they immediately became depressed.

But our emotions didn't last long, and suddenly Liang Yue said in a low voice: "Look, there."

Qu Kangcheng and I were startled at the same time, and quickly looked at Liang Yue.I saw Liang Yue pointing at the top of the passage where we were.

I shone my headlamp on and realized that something was happening above our heads.

This channel should also be dug between the rocks.Just above our heads, a slightly raised slab of stone appeared.

The slate was rectangular and seemed out of place with the rest of the walls.

How is this going?

I had doubts in my heart, so I reached out and touched the raised stone slab.I felt that the slate was slightly loose, so I pressed it harder.

As a result, I didn't use too much force, and the stone slab slid to the other side.

I don't know what method the craftsman used here, the stone slab slid over, and there was only a slight friction sound.It is simply more silent than the sliding doors of modern houses.

As the stone slab slid away, another hole appeared.

At this time, we have been tortured to the point of exhaustion, and when we saw the entrance of the cave, we stopped thinking about it.Liang Yue jumped up, and took the lead in getting up from the hole.

Unexpectedly, this is not the last exit, and there is a layer of sealing on the top of the head.Liang Yue stretched out her hand and pushed again. This time, she heard a creaking sound, and the stone slab above her head was pushed away again.

Liang Yue said to the following: "You can come out this time."

Chapter 1071 Nine Dragon Guards

The three of us filed out, got out of it, and stood on the ground.

There are many oil lamps around, and I saw a huge stone tripod not far away at the first sight.

I immediately felt relieved, after all these twists and turns, we finally ran out of the stone cauldron.
