Even with a map, if you are not careful in this huge maze, you will make mistakes, and you will inevitably go back and forth in circles. What's more, there are many flaws and incompletes on this map. Qi Hao and the others want to get out of this place. It still takes a long time.

Taking a pencil to write down the path he traveled, he became more and more sure of getting out of the maze, Qi Hao heaved a sigh of relief, once his body relaxed, a strong sense of hunger rumbled in his stomach.

Looking for a clean place again, Qi Hao threw the bag on the ground, picked up a few stones and built a simple stove, burned charcoal fire and boiled noodles, the spicy beef noodles of his senior sister, and his tomato beef noodles, in a short while , the tempting aroma of food rose from the dark tomb.

Things like instant noodles may not taste delicious, but the aroma is definitely strong enough.

In this darkened tomb, a bowl of hot noodles is already delicious.

"Senior sister, yours." When Qi Hao handed over the bowl, he was choked and sneezed several times.

Swallowing saliva, looking away, I couldn't bear to look at the layer of red oil floating on it, and the small peppercorns dotted on it, the fiery red dried peppers cut into sections, jade white pepper seeds and sesame seeds Mixed together, floating in the thick and spicy soup.

Gazing at the steaming tomato beef noodles under the light, the springy ramen soaked in the rich soup, even if you can't see any tomato, the beef is fake, Qi Hao still tasted the soup with great satisfaction, The soup is salty and light, with a sweet and sour taste of tomato, very appetizing.

In addition to drinking water, they also found two cans of Coke, unscrewed the cans of Coke, each can, after a light collision, took a sip of the bubbling soda.

In this tomb, Coke does not need to be chilled at all, and the surrounding atmosphere can be frightening.

Ayu's movement of eating noodles is much more proficient than last time. After he took a mouthful of noodles, he stared at the can of pungent food next to him. He licked it with his tongue, and immediately frowned. Swallow it in small mouthfuls like eating compressed biscuits before.

After taking a few more sips, I couldn't help hiccupping.

After eating the noodles, Qi Hao opened the map of the maze that he got from the group of people. The roads on it were twists and turns, with many branches. If Qi Hao hadn't walked in this maze for a long time before, he would have drawn it by himself. Otherwise, I really can't understand this "three-dimensional" map.

He looked towards a red key area marked in the picture, and learned from the conversation of the group of people that they were looking for murals...

Qi Hao frowned slightly, and couldn't help thinking of the mural he saw that day, the divine bird and the strange eye in the painting.

With the pencil in his hand, he was writing and drawing in the blank notebook. When Qi Hao came back to his senses, he found that he had actually drawn the pattern of the divine bird that he saw that day in the notebook.

He redrawn the divine bird, except that the opponent's eyes were missing.

Qi Hao's expression was inexplicable, and at this moment, one hand held his right hand that was holding the pen, Qi Hao was shocked, and let the other party hold his hand, and put eyes on the divine bird on the notebook.

"Sister, I want to go to this location to find murals."

The road ahead suddenly became narrow, only for one person to pass through. Qi Hao held a short knife in his hand and carefully walked through the narrow road, "Senior sister, don't come in first."

He took a few steps forward, and the light of the flashlight swept back and forth on the uneven stone wall. Qi Hao focused all his attention on checking and exploring around, but he didn't find anything unusual.

The map seized from the group of people marked "Danger" in red fonts at this location, and the place where the mural is located must pass through this narrow road.

"Danger?" Qi Hao was always vigilant, watching all directions, listening to all directions, and moved forward carefully and slowly.

"Sister, why did you follow me? Forget it, be careful...follow me."

Ayu nodded. He picked up the flashlight and took a photo of the person in front of him. Then he raised his head suddenly. On the dark stone wall above his head, there were black shadows hanging down. These shadows were intertwined and intertwined, forming dense black snakes.

These black snakes are very thin, but the size of ordinary chopsticks. Their pitch-black bodies blend perfectly in the darkness, and their sticky and cold bodies twist and swing on the stone wall.

They seemed to have noticed something suddenly, and immediately stopped swimming, and the next second, they all went back into the cave.

Ayu withdrew his gaze and continued walking forward.

After walking through this narrow path, Qi Hao found that this place was a little narrower than other places, and there was nothing strange about it.

"So what exactly is the meaning of this danger?"

Even after walking through this narrow path, Qi Hao still did not relax his mind, and inspected the surrounding environment very vigilantly. After walking through this narrow path, the road ahead has become much wider. According to the map, go further After a short distance, you can reach the place where the murals are located.

It was a stone room about [-] square meters. There were many skeletons piled up in the stone room, but the walls were empty, and no murals could be seen on the rough walls.

Qi Hao fumbled on the stone wall while knocking with a flashlight. The place where the mural was shown on the map was here.

He groped on the wall for more than ten minutes before he found a place that was different from the surrounding stone walls. He chiseled the wall with an ax and found the mechanism behind the wall.

Twist the mechanism, and the north wall of the stone chamber suddenly changed. There was only a "click" sound, and countless mud and sand spread out, and a whole long stone wall was sunken backwards. The stone slab hangs down.

Qi Hao's mind froze, and he looked intently at the slate, but the slate was smooth, and there was nothing on it, not to mention murals, not even a rough scratch.

A clean stone slab is so smooth that it can be used to lay floor tiles. If water is splashed on it, a non-slip mat must be added.

"How come?" Qi Hao lost his voice.

He approached the stone slab, and reached out his hand to touch the cold stone wall. There was no mechanism on the stone wall, as if it was a smooth stone slab.

Ayu stretched out his hand to hold his wrist, Qi Hao turned his head, and Ayu pointed to the black bag behind him.

Taking out the lighter and candle from the bag, Qi Hao lit the candle under the signal of the other party, and Ayu took the burning candle in his hand, the flame on the wick burned brighter and brighter, and the beating flame illuminated the stone slab brightly.

Qi Hao didn't know what he was going to do.

Ayu brought the burning flame close to the stone slab, and the next moment, an incredible thing happened, the icy stone slab was easily ignited by this little flame, as if a layer of oil had been poured on it. With a bang, the entire stone slab was burned.

The rising flames illuminated the entire stone room like daytime, and the jumping flames flickered on the faces of Qi Hao and Ayu.

At this moment, something different finally appeared on the originally empty stone slab.

Qi Hao's eyes widened in disbelief, he stared at the murals on the wall without blinking, and the pictures on the stone slabs appeared one by one in the raging fire.

It was a long mural with words on it. When Qi Hao saw those words, Qi Hao's body trembled. The ancient characters depicted on it had been studied by his mother for more than ten years.

The painting on the slate is lifelike, and the characters on it are lifelike. It records one thing.

A story of a quest for longevity.

There was once a king who sent many envoys to various places to seek for him a way of longevity. One of the envoys strayed into a wonderful holy place, where they found a young colorful bird.

It is said that this divine bird is a phoenix bird that can live forever.

They brought the divine bird back to the country. Wang Daxi, the king wanted to live forever, so he ordered people to kill the phoenix bird, and made two lamps from the eyes of the divine bird. The body of the king was trained into the spirit of the phoenix, and the king's concubine ate the spirit of the phoenix, and gave birth to a son, Prince Yu, for the king.

If the king wants to live forever, he must obtain an immortal body.

Prince Yu was born blind.

Since he was born, he was pierced through the bone marrow with soul-locking nails, and he suffered from the burning of the phoenix spirit in his body day and night. Every seven days, the king ordered people to chisel 72 soul nails into his body again until he was 20 years old. At that time, this body can be completely integrated with the phoenix spirit.

At that time, as long as the phoenix lamp and the phoenix lamp are not extinguished, this body will be able to continue to bathe in fire and nirvana, and live forever.

That was also when the king was going to take his body.

Of course, the story will not happen so smoothly. On the eve of Prince Yu's 20th birthday, Wang's favorite concubine, that is, Prince Yu's mother, betrayed Wang for her son or something else.

On the mural, there is a symbol on the top of the favorite concubine's head, which means "betrayer, defy".

At the end of the picture, who is the favorite concubine talking to? Rebellion?However, the murals came to an abrupt end here, and the ending behind it is unknown.

Ayu looked at the end of the mural, two lines of tears rolled down his cheeks.

Qi Hao didn't notice his strangeness. At this moment, he was staring at the phoenix lantern on the mural.

The king sent people to hide one of the phoenix lanterns in the holy place where the divine bird was first discovered, and the other phoenix lantern was handed over to a tribe. The warrior, because his ancestors beheaded the fierce beast Long Xiao, the whole clan was under the blood curse of Long Xiao. The sound of the phoenix can drive away all beasts, and the phoenix lantern can suppress the blood curse of Long Xiao.

The people of this tribe swore allegiance to the king from then on, and fought for him in all directions.

Next to the phoenix lantern on the mural, there is a "Qi" written in strange characters. It is said to be a character, but it is more like a painting. The strokes are winding and vary in thickness, and the outline looks like a roaring beast.

It was a family emblem.

On Qi Hao's back, there is such a family emblem.
