The handsome man in the entertainment industry

finger up.

Ruan Mudeng knew that this meant that his judgment was correct, and his heart was overjoyed. He pushed the bright red bead along the two horizontal grooves and slid into Gen Palace.

The moment the beads were fixed, the young man heard a familiar, but much clearer and louder sound than the previous two times, the friction sound of gears and tracks when the mechanism was activated.

The Nine Palaces and Eight Diagrams engraved on the stone wall slowly rotated in a clockwise direction. If you look carefully, it is not the Eight Diagrams engraved on the stone that is rotating, but the entire wall where it is located. Amidst the rumbling sound of winch friction, it slowly rotated its direction.

Ruan Mudeng took two steps back, carefully staring at the wall that was slowly turning in one direction.

The four walls of this tomb look square at first glance, but in fact the length of the floor and the ceiling is about [-] centimeters wider than the height of the room. When it reached the long side, it unexpectedly revealed a long corridor hidden behind, which led to nowhere.

Ruan Mudeng pointed to the newly exposed tomb passage behind the wall, then lowered his head and fiddled with the fox's ears, "This way, right?"

However, Xiao Xiao accompanied her incompetent apprentice to tossing the maze of gossip on the wall for so long, and now she seemed to be exhausted, she didn't want to answer Ruan Mudeng's stupid question at all, she turned her head and flinched. Back into the pocket of the braces, the tip of his nose was pressed against the warm and thick chest of the young man, he closed his eyes and fell asleep again.

Ruan Mudeng raised the corners of his lips, laughed softly, touched the soft and fluffy big white fox through the fabric, then raised his legs and bowed, got into the narrow gap between the walls, along the road just Walk forward through the corridor you found.

One person and one fox walked a few meters, and heard the rumbling sound of heavy objects rubbing behind them again. Ruan Mudeng looked back, but the stone wall turned counterclockwise again, closing the previously exposed hole again. stand up.

He frowned, hesitated for a few seconds, turned around, and decided to go on and find Xiao Xiao's body left in the tomb.

Anyway, the three people who entered the tomb back then all went out smoothly, which proves that this is not a one-way street that can only be entered but not exited, so there should also be some way to open the Jiugong Bagua mechanism from the inside.

But on the back that he couldn't see, on the gossip engraved on the wall, the bead that was originally stuck in the Gen Palace slipped out of the slot during two consecutive upside-down rotations, and along the criss-crossed Passage, slipped into the Fire Palace.

In the corridor, Ruan Mudeng heard the muffled sound of the stone door closing behind him, and the next second, there was a heavy and huge "bang" sound that would only be made when something obviously very heavy and huge suddenly fell.

He turned his head abruptly, only to see that a huge stone ball that was enough to cover the narrow space that could only allow people to bend down fell down in the tomb passage only ten steps away from him, and because the tomb passage was on an inclined plane That's why, at this time, the stone ball was rolling towards him and Xiao Xiao with an audacious aura that could crush anything into meatloaf, as well as splashing dust and debris.

The speed of this stone rolling is astonishingly fast, and although it is far from being as huge as the two or three-story buildings in the tomb passages in TV movies, it still weighs three or four tons in size, plus the momentum of rolling, it is definitely not just a stone. It can be stopped with the strength of one or two people.

However, what is more surprising and frightening than the size of the stone ball is that its surface is not smooth, but is engraved with many charm-like patterns. At this time, there is a thin layer of red light Follow these fine lines endlessly.

Even though Ruan Mudeng couldn't see clearly what those spells were engraved in a hurry, white smoke immediately rose around where the stone ball passed - obviously the surface temperature of this thing is extremely high, and it will burn the ground. The water on the surface evaporates into water vapor in an instant.

There are two kinds of spells recorded in "Maoshan Tuzhi", one is "Jiamashu", and the other is "Nine Turns Flowing Fire".

The so-called "armored horsemanship" is to engrave the "horse-beating spell" on some dead objects, and then install or carve the "armored soldiers" that control the horses. After that, you only need to give it a little power. Things will run like flying, and the speed is beyond ordinary.

And the "Nine Turns Flowing Fire Technique", as the name suggests, is a technique for generating fire and controlling fire. It is also used on dead objects. With a small cluster of flames, the firepower can immediately flow everywhere along the Nine Turn Talisman, heating the object to extremely hot.

At this time, the stone ball rolling in the tomb passage probably cast these two spells at the same time, and even after hundreds of years, the mechanisms and spells still have not failed. Ruan Mudeng estimated that if it was crushed by this stone ball If you are right, even if you are lucky enough to not have your heart, liver, spleen and lungs squeezed out, broken bones and tendons are the next best thing. I am afraid that it will be directly roasted and sticky on the floor of the tomb passage like a piece of meat on a barbecue net.

Before he had time to think about it, he immediately ran wildly, competing with the speed of the rolling stone ball, and ran towards the depths of the corridor.

While running, Ruan Mudeng looked left and right, hoping to find a fork or a tomb that avoided the rolling path of the stone ball.

About two or three seconds later, he discovered a collapse on the side of the tomb passage, and about a quarter of the wall on one side collapsed.

Although the triangular area formed after the collapse was not enough to hide him and Xiao Xiao, Ruan Mudeng quickly took off his backpack while running, and put the canvas bag, which was extremely obstructive and took up space in this situation, Without hesitation, it was thrown into the triangular area formed by gravel and broken bricks, and then continued to run forward without looking back.

The rumbling sound behind was getting closer and closer, and the stone ball blessed with armored horsemanship, as long as it started rolling, the speed would only get faster and faster.

After running another 50 meters, Ruan Mudeng suddenly saw two skinny feet protruding from the wall in front of the tomb passage.

He was taken aback for a moment, and then immediately saw clearly that it was an ancient corpse that had been dead for a long time, completely boneless, leaning against a shallow hole in the wall, only two skinny legs were exposed.

Ruan Mudeng didn't have time to think about it, he rushed over and pulled the weightless dry bone out of the shallow hole, threw it on the ground, and then turned his back outwards, protecting the big hairball in his arms, and stretched himself as far as possible. shrink into the narrow shelter.

The huge and heavy stone ball in the corridor, with its scorching heat and earth-shattering aura, crushed the dead bones blocking the way, and then brushed against Ruan Mudeng's back.

Xiao Xiao endured the sharp pain from the wound on her stomach, and struggled to get half of her face out of the double-layer confinement of the strap cloth and her apprentice's arms.

——He could smell the strong smell of burnt flesh.

Ruan Mudeng half curled up in this shallow hollow, didn't move for a while, and didn't make a sound.

And that huge stone ball also seemed to have rolled to the end of the passage, and had a violent impact with the tomb wall, making a loud muffled noise, and even the entire tomb passage trembled and dropped dust and mildew.

"...Here, it seems to be a crossbow mechanism."

Ruan Mudeng maintained the posture of supporting the wall with both hands and holding the fox tightly with his arms, and touched the three arrow holes arranged in rows on the wall about to his chest with his fingers.

"Fortunately, the arrows have been shot, otherwise, if you are stuck in such a narrow place, there is really nowhere to hide..."

He whispered to Xiao Xiao softly, slowly stood up straight, and retreated from the hollow.

The old corpse thrown out by the young man first exhausted the crossbow arrows in the mechanism for them, and then was directly run over by the large stone ball with a temperature of several hundred degrees. It turned into coke, and covered the broken bones shapelessly.

"...This strap can't be used anymore."

Ruan Mudeng stripped Xiao Xiao out of the strap, picked it up and held it in his arms.

"I'm going to go back and find the backpack now, there are still spares in it."

His voice was softer than usual, Xiao Xiao shook her ears, making sure that she could hear a slight tremor from the young man's seemingly calm tone.

"Chirp!"

Xiao Xiao struggled to squeeze out the first syllable after turning into a fox body. She pulled her apprentice's sleeve with her two front paws, and poked her head to see the other's expression.

The palm of Ruan Mudeng holding him was colder than usual, and a thin layer of sweat on his forehead reflected the light of the searchlight, obviously not because of the sprint just now.

The strap cloth that wrapped Xiao Xiao all the way, most of the straps on the back had been scorched and carbonized, and there was only a strand of residual cloth that was barely connected, and it might break at any time. used.

"Chirp!"

Xiao Xiao cried out anxiously again, and opened her mouth to bite Ruan Mudeng's hand.

However, that unscrupulous villain just hugged him in his arms, gently rubbed the fox's pointed ears and the back of his neck with his cold, sweaty palms, but refused to turn around to let Xiao Xiao see what he cared about the most.

In fact, Ruan Mudeng has a plan in his heart.

The high-temperature stone ball just now passed close to his back, not only scorched the clothes on his back, but also left a large and deep burn, which was glued together with sweat and scorched clothes. I'm afraid that a large piece of bloody flesh will be torn off if it is lifted.

He felt very painful now. When the pain reached the limit, his entire back seemed to be almost numb, and he lost all feeling.

But Ruan Mudeng knew he couldn't stop now.

Extensive scalds are extremely exhausting, and soon he will be in trouble due to dehydration, pain and infection, and he can't even treat the adhesive wound on his back for himself.
