Overshadowing the sun is always a demon

Everyone gathered in front of the bronze door, and saw that the door was only three meters high and five meters wide according to the size of the passage, but the middle was solid and could not be shaken by manpower.The interlocking in the middle is extremely delicate, there is no gap at all, let alone a creature can escape, it is estimated that it is not even breathable.In that era, when there were no machines and all relying on manual work, the workmanship could reach this level, which is enough to be called a wonderful workmanship.

On the door, there were two bronze animal heads biting into a washbasin-sized ring, which was already covered with thick rust.There are several circles around the animal head from small to large, which look like decorative patterns. Uncle Zhongyi fiddled with it twice before speaking: "It seems that this is a heaven and earth lock."

"Can you untie it?"

"It's hard to say, I can try it first." The influence of the corpse poison has not completely faded, and Uncle Zhongyi's walking and speaking are affected, and it is even more difficult for him to unlock it. tried.

"The door is intact, but those people died outside the door. It's not logical at all." Fadu tugged at Xiao Tang's sleeve, "Think about it, there must be something terrible inside the door. You can't easily decide to open the door , everyone’s life and death rests on you, and you have to be responsible to everyone.”

"It is because I am responsible for everyone that I have to go in." Xiao Tang disapproved, "I know, something inside the door must have come out to kill them, and then went back and locked the door. It is intelligent, maybe it is difficult to deal with monsters, but I am confident that since I can kill Cerberus, I can also take care of it."

The thing Xiaotang decided was that even ten cows would not be able to pull back. Seeing his confidence, Fadu couldn't say anything more. Instead, Xiaotang pulled him over first, and stuffed the sword into his palm: " You are too weak, you were lucky just now, if you encounter the situation just now, maybe even I will not be able to save you in time, not to mention that the inner ghost has not found it, so you should take this sword with you first."

Fadu couldn't help muttering: "I don't know how to use it, so why bring it?"

"I've said it so clearly and you still can't use it. You are a pig! Remember, I'll say it again." Xiao Tang turned behind him and poked his finger on his neck. It is called atlas, it has no vertebral body and spinous process, it is composed of anteroposterior arch and lateral mass. The outer side of the lateral mass has transverse process, which can be used as the fulcrum of atlas rotation, which is longer and larger than the transverse process of other cervical vertebrae. Vulnerable, but too high up to attack."

His finger moved down along the skin for a while: "This is the second segment, also known as the axis vertebrae. There is a tooth-shaped protuberance above the vertebral body called the odontoid process, which can be regarded as the vertebral body of the atlas. The structure here is relatively Weakness is also the easiest position to attack. The executioners in ancient times have been trained, and they can find this position only by visual inspection, and they can cut off the head accurately with one knife."

Fadu only felt numb and itchy where his fingers touched, and just as he was about to avoid it, Xiao Tang's fingers had already slipped down his collar: "Except for the very long spinous process of the seventh cervical vertebra, the rest The structure is the same as that of the common cervical vertebrae. Because the spinous process is very long, the end is not bifurcated but protrudes in a nodular shape under the skin, so it is called a cone. It rotates with the rotation of the neck, and we can see And touch the highest protruding part of the neck, which is the seventh cervical vertebra. That position is too downward to attack with a sword, but you can also use the edge of your palm to hit this part hard or pull the opponent down and hit it with your knees. I lowered my head to touch it... did you listen to me?"

"I... I'm listening." Fadu always felt weird in his heart. The two of them have been born and died so many times. Before he was always haunted by nightmares, he always shared the same bed. Tang used the human-shaped self-propelled universal mosquito repellent, so he didn't have too many thoughts. Why did Xiao Tang poke him on the back a few times, but he felt such a strange feeling?

"Do you remember?" Xiao Tang circled his neck carelessly as usual, with an expression of 'you dare to say that I will kill you if you don't remember', how dare Fadu make a mistake, nodding his head like a chicken pecking at rice of.

"I'll teach you three basic sword moves first." Xiao Tang grabbed his hand and held the hilt of the sword, and wrapped it around his neck, followed by a straight thrust, "Fighting is nothing more than fiction, what is it called?" It doesn't matter what tricks you play with the name, the key is to confuse the opponent and seize the opportunity to strike."

As soon as this posture came out, Fadu felt uncomfortable as if being hugged by Xiao Tang from behind.But Xiao Tang didn't have such a delicate mind, so he immediately dragged him around in a circle, and made a horizontal strike from the side: "Ordinary people's strength lies in surprise, swords and swords are not so particular, even if What you are holding is a stick, how do you do it, the master will be helpless against you."

"Understood." Fadu felt his throat dry, "The last move?"

"The last move is easier." Xiao Tang held his hand from behind and sent it straight forward, "As the saying goes, 'the first move is the best, and the second is the worst', you don't have to worry about anything, as long as you see the situation is not right Said to do it first."

"Isn't that bad? What if someone is wronged?"

"Wronged people? It's not his fault that he looks unpredictable, but it's his fault if he comes out and wanders around because of evil intentions."

Fadu: -_-!

"With these three tricks, although you can't become a master, self-protection is enough." Xiao Tang clapped his hands, "This sword is called the blood-dropping lotus, and it is actually something from the Huasheng Temple. It contains mana itself. Ordinary ghosts can take care of whatever they want, but when encountering those whose mana can't be suppressed, it's also very convenient to cut them directly."

Fadu finally came to his senses: "Blood-dropping lotus? Why is it called such a strange name?"

"How do I know this? It is said that this is something given to the ancestors of the Tang family by the first lord of the Huasheng Temple. It is also a priceless antique. Don't lose it to me."

"You give me the blood-dropping lotus, so what do you use to defend yourself?"

Xiao Tang snapped his fingers nonchalantly: "I have claws, it doesn't matter whether I have a weapon or not."

Fadu stared at him for a few seconds, then suddenly said: "You are human and not a monster. I would rather you call me a pig with a vicious tongue and unreasonable words than see you turn into a black tiger and fight monsters desperately."

Xiao Tang looked up at him and remained silent for a long time.

Seeing that Xiao Tang was silent, Fadu didn't know what he was thinking, so he simply turned to Uncle Zhongyi to watch the excitement: "Uncle Zhongyi, what is the name of this lock?"

"Have you seen the seven circles of pattern next to the animal head? The left and right sides are aligned with the heavenly stems and the earth, which is extremely complicated. You can see that there are so many checkered patterns on each circle, just like the combination disk of a safe. Try it a little bit, even if you are very lucky, you may have to try it for more than ten years." Uncle Zhongyi has a pair of stethoscope-like gadgets hanging on his ears, and from time to time he gently fiddles with the two circles of patterns with a thin needle long from chopsticks. Frowning tightly, it seems that there is no progress.

"But……"

"Fa Du, you've worked hard all this way, you'd better go rest first, we'll call you when you make progress." Before Fa Du could finish speaking, Ma Zi issued the order to evict the guest.

Fadu also understood that Uncle Zhongyi's ability must be unique to the Tang family, and of course he didn't want to let outsiders know about it.He made fun of it, and when he turned his head back, Xiao Tang leaned against the stone wall and closed his eyes.

"Little Tang, are you asleep?"

"No, sit." Xiao Tang tilted his head, as if pointing him to a place to sit.

Fa Du sat down next to Xiao Tang, with all kinds of large and small diamonds protruding from the stone wall behind him, leaning on it made him feel uncomfortable, so he twisted his body to find a more comfortable position.

"Are you a maggot? What are you twisting?" Xiao Tang turned his head and stared at him, "Uncle Zhongyi has spent his whole life studying those doors, locks, odd door gossip, etc. If he can't figure it out, others can't even figure it out. You What are you doing to join in the fun?"

"Alfonso Diego paid anyway. I don't do anything and have no money to pay, so I have to find a way to help you."

"It's the best help if you stay honest and don't run around and cause trouble. Don't you realize that? Cerberus came for your smell in the first place, and the living skeleton woke up because of your activities."

Fadu was dumbfounded, he leaned against the stone wall and calmed down obediently, not daring to move further: "The corpse caterpillar fungus and corpse insects... are also because of me?"

At the beginning of this expedition, someone deliberately sabotaged. After entering the underground waterway, Amao was corrupted by corpse caterpillars. Everyone was rushed into the fork by the countercurrent, followed by corpse insects. Cerberus attacked Dahei, lost all supplies, and was surrounded by living skeletons. Well, Fadu has been protected by everyone along the way but has basically played no role. The Tang family must feel that he is a burden.The worse the situation gets, the worse their attitude towards him will naturally be. As for a straightforward person like Mazi who has everything written on his face, his disgust and dislike towards him will naturally be more straightforward.

Xiao Tang didn't want to answer, so Fadu simply asked more directly: "Everyone doesn't know that I will cause such troubles, do they?"

If everyone knew that most of these dangers were due to his tragic physique, they would not only be bored, but would hate him to the bone.

Xiao Tang slapped him hard on the bald head: "Don't f*** think nonsense and mediocrity."

Fadu covered his head and asked, "Then you dare to say that those things have nothing to do with me?"

Xiao Tang sighed: "You didn't do it on purpose, it's just a tragedy of physique and stupidity."

Fadu smiled wryly: "Why didn't I feel that you were comforting me at all?"

"I wasn't trying to comfort you." Xiao Tang leaned against the stone wall and closed his eyes again, "Alfonso, Diego, and the Tang family are a deal, and we are also a deal, and there is a price to pay for everything you do. , you don't have to feel sorry for it at all."

Fadu was silent for a while, looking up at the diamonds on the cave wall that erupted with dazzling fire under the simple light, and asked gently: "Little Tang, until now you still believe that I have the ability to get it for you. That thing?"

Xiao Tang smiled: "I never doubted it."
