Touch a corpse to fall in love

Chapter 64 Stone Trough Puzzle

After walking for more than half an hour, Cheng Xiao felt that the light in front of him was getting brighter and brighter. It was not until the four of them entered a cave that suddenly opened up that the light suddenly gathered into a large cylindrical shape and hung on the ceiling of the cave.

This cave is half the size of a football field, and the bottom is full of waist-deep water. The walls around the cave are wet and smooth. Upon closer inspection, everyone discovered that the accumulated water in the cave was seeped from the top of the cave. Most of them flow down the cave wall.

The luminous cylinder hanging from the top of the cave is not a luminous body either.It looks like an upside-down stalactite covered with that glowing unknown substance.

The surrounding cave walls are inlaid with some iron chains as thick as a baby's arms, passing through the upside-down stalactites, and winding them round and round, as if they are afraid that it will fall.

The three of Cheng Xiao were not in a good state of mind because of the stagnant water and the cold.Seeing such a huge and strange upside-down stone pillar suddenly, everyone's heart was shocked, and they became sober.

Ah Shu looked sideways at Ouyang Fulin next to him, frowning slightly: "Is it here?"

Ouyang Fulin nodded: "That's right. The aura here is very strong, and I can feel the power of restraint."

Ah Shu looked at the heavy iron chain above, thought for a while and said, "Let's find a way to go up."

"Well, send Cheng Xiao up first." Ouyang Fulin looked at Ouyang Chengdao, "How much strength do you have left?"

"It's less than [-] percent." Ouyang Cheng frowned, his face turned blue, "We can't waste our power on unnecessary things, otherwise our power won't be able to open the door of the magic circle at all."

Cheng Xiao raised his eyes, looked at the stalactites and iron chains hanging high, lightly patted Ah Shu on the shoulder, and said dryly: "Put me down, I'm fine."

Ouyang Fulin said: "If the door of the magic circle is on the top, Cheng Xiao must go up." Knowing that Ouyang Cheng is unwilling to waste his spiritual power, Ouyang Fulin explained, "The door of the magic circle needs the corresponding key , although I don’t know if Cheng Xiao is the key, but at least that key has something to do with him, he is our only hope.”

Ouyang Cheng understood, and looked up at the heavy iron chain dripping with water: "Can he stay on it?" His tone was full of doubts.

Cheng Xiao stood in the waist-high water, and the icy cold water rushed from the waist down to his limbs, and his face turned livid after only a short while.Thinking of everyone's care for him along the way, he stopped thinking about other things, and said with chattering teeth, "Tell me what to do, and I will work hard."

Ouyang Fulin said: "It's not hard work, it's necessary." With a sullen face, Ouyang Fulin's voice carried a chill deeper than stagnant water, "This is our last chance, you must open the door of the magic circle."

Cheng Xiao closed his eyes, took a deep breath and said, "I don't even know what the gate of the magic circle is...do you think I can do it?"

Ah Shu stood behind Cheng Xiao, stretched out his arms to hug him, and gave him a hint of warmth: "Cheng Xiao, you can do it." He tightly held Cheng Xiao's hands in front of his chest and abdomen, and clenched, "Think carefully." Let’s take a look at how we got here, and the changes that have happened to you along the way will definitely be able to find the key to breaking the magic circle.”

It was rare for Ah Shu to say so many words in a row, and Cheng Xiao didn't resist his embrace, but thought for a while and said, "Okay, I'll go up." After a pause, Cheng Xiao continued, "If I didn't open the door of the magic circle If that’s the case, you go back directly. Don’t worry about me.” Several people’s bodies have reached their limit. If he fails, no one will have the strength to save him. Instead of being trapped here, it’s better to leave the three of them alone a way out.

Ouyang Fulin and Ah Shu looked at each other, but didn't speak.

Ouyang Cheng's expression moved slightly, and he said, "If you can't do it, it's useless for us to keep you."

Cheng Xiao smiled bitterly: "I know."

Ah Shu pulled Cheng Xiao to the wall on the right, turned his head and said in a low voice, "I'll go up first, and I'll pull you up later."

Cheng Xiao let out a "huh", and his eyes flashed, and he saw that Ah Shu had already grasped into the stone wall like cutting gold and cracking jade with his ten fingers flying.With the powerful power of piercing the stone, Ah Shu climbed under the three-meter-high iron chain in just three or two moves, grabbed the iron chain with one lift of his hand, turned over and attached to it.

Stretching out his hand towards Cheng Xiao who was below, Ah Shu was half-hanging on the iron chain, and lifted Cheng Xiao abruptly.

Cheng Xiao took advantage of A Shu's pull and the nearby stone wall to kick a few times, and finally climbed up the iron chain, without asking the two brothers Ouyang Fulin to help.

The two brothers looked up at the man and the zombie on the chain in the water, with serious expressions in their eyes at the same time.But the two people above who concentrated on dealing with the rusted iron chain didn't notice the abnormality of Ouyang Fulin and the two.

Cheng Xiao got used to the iron chain for a while, until his hands and feet were not shaking very much, then he said to Ah Shu: "I can do it."

Ah Shu frowned slightly: "Try to go there first, and I'll follow you from below."

Cheng Xiao nodded, and began to stagger his hands, each holding an iron chain, and slowly moved towards the stalactite in the middle.The iron chain covered with rust is not only cold to the bone, but also has broken rust, which will hurt the skin of the hands if you are not careful.It could be that Cheng Xiao had injured his hand before, and Ah Shu bandaged him up. At this time, he was holding the iron chain through a layer of cloth, so it would not slip or be injured again.

The feet moved slowly with the movements of the hands, and the heavy iron chains carried Cheng Xiao's weight, colliding with each other from time to time, making a "dang, clang, clang" sound.

There were waves of water ripples on the stagnant water below, Ah Shu jumped down and stared closely at Cheng Xiao as he moved.

The more you go to the middle, the more the chain shakes.Cheng Xiao couldn't help breaking out of cold sweat on his forehead, but when he looked down and saw the three people staring at him meticulously, he gritted his teeth and finally crawled to the stalactite in one breath.

I took out a palm and wiped the surface of the stalactite, and a lot of luminous substances on it scattered with a "shua".

Cheng Xiao was a little surprised, he didn't expect that these things could not only survive in the water, but also fly.Although they are small in size and almost nothing can be seen except for tiny light clusters, Cheng Xiao can be sure that the origin of such things must be unusual.It may have been in this water hole for more than a thousand years.

After crawling a little further, Cheng Xiao turned sideways, stretched out his hand to the other side of the stalactite and knocked.There was another flash of light, and those luminous creatures flew away immediately, revealing the true face of the stalactite side.

Ouyang Cheng below said "Mmm", while Ouyang Fulin frowned even more tightly.

Because Cheng Xiao was lying on the east side of the stalactite, he couldn't see the situation on the south side clearly, so he didn't know why the two people below showed such expressions.

Ah Shu noticed Cheng Xiao's puzzled eyes, and immediately said: "This stone has lines engraved on it, and it looks a bit like a totem... There is a groove in the middle, which is empty. The things inside should have been taken away." .”

Cheng Xiao opened his mouth in surprise.

Seeing that there were three or four iron chains wrapped around the stone body of the stalactite, because there were so many turns of the iron chains that there was a certain space for the iron chains to press together, Cheng Xiao felt moved, and began to carefully follow the small stalactite. space to move over.

The iron chain was wet and slippery, Cheng Xiao grasped the surface of the stone wall with both hands, tentatively stepped on the raised iron chain with one foot, and heard the sound of "creaking and creaking" as expected.

Ah Shu said from below: "Be careful."

Cheng Xiao nodded, found the foothold, and put the other foot on it.

Just like this, he moved slowly in a place like a ray of sky, and when Cheng Xiao moved to the south of the stone pillar, he couldn't help but sucked in a breath of cold air.

Because it was close to the stone wall, Cheng Xiaoyuan could see clearly than the three people below.

The stone wall on this side is indeed carved with intricate and gorgeous patterns. There are ravines as thick as a small finger hovering on the stone wall, like countless stretching vines, surrounding a stone groove in the middle that has sunk a lot.

The shape of the stone trough is a bit strange, a bit like a six-pointed star, but if you look at it a few more times, you will feel dizzy.There seems to be a bulge inside, which looks rather strange.

Cheng Xiao stood on the iron chain with half of his feet in the air.In this situation, he didn't dare to look around, but quickly turned his gaze to avoid the feeling of dizziness.

Ouyang Fulin frowned at the bottom and said: "Cheng Xiao, that stone trough is a bit weird, take a closer look."

Cheng Xiao wanted to nod subconsciously, but when he moved his head, he realized that he was clinging to the stone wall and couldn't nod.So he agreed to the stone wall in a muffled voice, and looked at the stone trough again while enduring the feeling of dizziness.

The stone trough is really nothing special except that it makes people feel dizzy for no reason.Cheng Xiao didn't know which aspect Ouyang Fulin was referring to, so he could only climb the stone wall tightly and said, "It's nothing special, it's just that when I saw it, I felt very dizzy."

The three people below were a little surprised. They were also paying attention to the stone trough, but they didn't feel dizzy.

"Is it because we are far away?" Ouyang Cheng said, looking at Ouyang Fulin, "Why don't I go up and have a look."

Ouyang Fulin was about to talk, when Ah Shu suddenly said, "No need."

A trace of surprise flashed in the eyes of Ouyang and Ouyang, only to see Ah Shu silently turning around and looking at the entrance of the hole when he came, his body tensed.

"There's something..." Without saying a word, the waist-deep water suddenly exploded, and I didn't know what it was, and it swept over with a thick tail.

Cheng Xiao couldn't turn his head from the top, he just glanced at it out of the corner of his eye, and immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

That huge monster turned out to be the same as the giant python that held him hostage before, but it was more than twice as big as that one.

It's hard to imagine that such a terrifying giant python is entrenched in such a place. Judging by its sturdiness, this stone cave can't accommodate its randomness. After a while, the whole cave is full of "buzzing" vibrations And the sound of gravel falling into the water.

Cheng Xiao clung tightly to the stalactites above, and was almost knocked down several times, his hands and ten fingers were rubbed with blood without knowing it.

The three people below rushed left and right, and were swept by the giant python several times.If it weren't for the accumulation of water to buffer the strength, the three people would have been seriously injured if they didn't die.

Ouyang Fulin took advantage of the time when Ah Shu drew the giant python's attention, and shouted to Cheng Xiao above: "The stone trough is the eye of the formation! Break it!"

Cheng Xiao's head went blank for a moment, and when he realized it, the giant python rushed towards his back with a large amount of stagnant water.

In the gap of this moment, Cheng Xiao didn't know where the courage came from, but his body fell short, his hands slid down his body, and the moment he fell, he grabbed the iron chain under his feet, and his whole body showed a strange feeling. The "L" posture is half hung on the chain.

The giant python's long tail swept over the stalactite, but the stone did not move, but the iron chains around it jingled.The sound didn't matter, Cheng Xiao felt as if thousands of iron chains were colliding with each other in his mind, almost destroying his sanity instantly.It was at this time, with the sound of "Drink!", there was a stern shout in his ears, he couldn't tell if it was a man or a woman, but it sounded like a drum in the evening and a bell in the morning, knocking on his altar for a while.

The moment Cheng Xiao came to his senses, another burst of cold sweat broke out on his body.Because at this moment, he had already faintly loosened part of the iron chain. If his wrist hadn't been subconsciously wrapped in the iron chain, he would have fallen down by now.

Not daring to think about anything else, Cheng Xiao immediately used his hands and feet to climb up the iron chain again, and got close to the stone trough.

Strange to say, when Cheng Xiao stared at the stone trough at this time, he didn't feel the dizziness before, but instead had a feeling of seeing through the essence of the stone trough—the fine, light and shallow lines in the stone trough were as good as above. Qiantiao, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes at this time, Cheng Xiao would not have believed it in his life, that someone could carve so many patterns and lines in such a small stone trough with a miraculous skill.

While in shock, a muffled sound suddenly came from the water below.

Cheng Xiao turned his head to look, and happened to see the scene where Ah Shu was strangled by the giant python and flung towards the stone wall.

His heart froze for a moment, Cheng Xiao looked at the blood overflowing from Ah Shu's mouth, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and suddenly he thought of the method of opening this formation.
