Ancient Art of Sealing Ghosts

I was so engrossed in Dao Feng and Immortality that I didn't notice the situation in front of me at all. When Dao Feng reminded me, I couldn't help but calm down and listen carefully. Sure enough, I heard a sound of boulders sliding in front of me. Some mechanism in the ancient tomb is working.

As I continued to observe the situation ahead, I nodded and said, "There is indeed a problem, but stopping here is not the way to go, let's move on."

Dao Feng gave a "hmm" and supported Tangning to continue walking. I looked at him, grabbed his arm suddenly, made a gesture, and then changed positions with him. I held the flashlight and led the way.

Dao Feng was a little surprised, but he didn't stop me. Under such circumstances, it was really inconvenient for him to take Tangning with him.

After walking for about 2 minutes, I found that the space in the cave is getting bigger and bigger, and the deafening sound is getting clearer and clearer. Besides these, there are some protruding stone platforms on the stone walls on both sides. There are things like coffins on each stone platform.

The material of those coffins can't be seen, they are all black, and the distant ones can only be vaguely seen as shadows, while the close ones can be reached with one's hand, I don't know what they are for.But we don't have time to study these now, so we can only skip them in a hurry. It's better to find uncle and others as soon as possible.

The rumbling sound in our ears became more and more urgent, and our hearts were raised. The three of them unconsciously quickened their pace, hoping to find other people before the incident really happened, and Wen Wen, who could do bad things at any time.

I was so anxious that I couldn't help but lose my sense of proportion. I didn't notice the broken wall in front of me, and I almost fell down.

Dao Feng grabbed me at the right time, and I half sat on the ground wiping off my cold sweat, with one leg still hanging on the edge of the broken wall.

"What's going on." Panting heavily, I shone down with a flashlight and asked, "Why is there no way?"

Seeing this, Tang Ning let me aside, squatted on the edge and looked down, then pointed to the steps below and said, "There are stone steps here, we can go down, we'd better go down and have a look, the sound is probably the same under."

I looked in the direction she was pointing to make sure that she was right, so I quickly took out the rope and said, "Then don't delay, I'll get off first, and I'll call you if there's no problem."

There are many jagged and strange rocks in this cave, so I randomly found a solid boulder to fix the rope, and then grabbed the rope and slid down little by little.

With the help of those incomplete stone steps, it was not difficult to go down. After a while, my feet hit the ground.

After standing still, I didn't rush to ask Dao Feng and Tang Ning to come down. Instead, I walked around twice and shook the flashlight up after I was sure it was safe.

Dao Feng and Tang Ning quickly climbed down the rope. Once they landed, they habitually observed the movement around them. When they saw that nothing was going on, they were relieved. Tang Ning said, "Why do I feel that the mechanism below is quieter than the one above?" A lot?"

Dao Feng nodded and said: "Indeed, it seems that this is not the real location of the agency, but Wu Mou and the others should also come down, and look for it again."

We can't search for the current situation separately, so the three of us tie together and move forward slowly.

After climbing down from the rope, the surrounding environment became much duller. We were like being stuffed in a big tank, and the sounds we heard were all hazy. We couldn’t tell where we were, and the sense of distance was blurred. Quite a lot, I can't say how long I walked.

"I didn't see the fork in the road before. I guess Wen Wen came down too. I don't know whether we should run into her first or find the uncle and the others first." As soon as I finished speaking, I heard chaotic footsteps in the distance, which seemed to be a group of people Running here in a hurry.

I froze for a moment, turned my head to look at Dao Feng, and said, "This voice...does it really make me think..."

Dao Feng narrowed his eyes slightly, obviously also very puzzled.

However, that voice clearly had a sense of chaos and panic that belonged to a living person, so there was no need to worry about it being something weird. Besides, Tangning's subordinates had long since dispersed, and only us were left, so it was very likely Uncle and others.

Thinking about it, I called out tentatively, and immediately felt the people in front of me stop, and then I heard a familiar voice asking, "Is it Chu Yang?"

I was overjoyed, so I quickly said yes, and the uncle ran towards us with people.When the four embarrassed figures appeared in front of my eyes, before I could ask any questions, the uncle yelled, "You two bastards actually came down! I had hoped for you, but I didn't expect... oh... ..."

"What?" I looked at Sister Xuan suspiciously, then glanced at Xiang Wen and Leo, but still didn't understand what was going on.

"It's a trap down here." The uncle sighed, wiped the sweat off his face and said, "The mechanism here is not underground, but above. I guess we went the wrong way at the beginning. We want to listen to it after we come in. It is no longer possible to distinguish the location of the mechanism by sound, because the mechanism here is constantly changing positions. If you don’t believe me, you can go back to the place where you came down just now. No matter how you got down, you can’t go up from there again. There is hope to crack it, now... we can only resign ourselves to fate."

After listening to the uncle's words, Dao Feng and I looked back reflexively. I knew that what the uncle said must be right, so I asked: "Why is this so? When we came here, there was obviously only this way to go. Is it right? Is there any mechanism that secretly tells you that you haven't discovered it yet?"

The uncle shook his head and said: "Maybe there are secret passages, maybe there are not, but the traps below are very powerful. I'm afraid we will die here before we find a way out..."

I was a little surprised: "How to say?"

"We tried to push a few traps just now, and all the things that came out were ghosts and mandrills, which were difficult to deal with, and the place where we came down before has disappeared without a trace, either covered by the traps, or has been relocated." The uncle said: "That's why I want to try to contact you. You may be able to get out from here by cooperating with the inside and outside. It is not difficult to find another way outside."

As he said that, the uncle gestured for us to go back to the place where we came down just now. Dao Feng and I nodded and led everyone back.

The distance we traveled this time was much longer than when we came here. I knew something was weird in my heart, but I couldn't tell what was wrong. We didn't stop until we encountered a steep rock wall, and Tang Ning said, "My The sense of direction has always been very accurate, it should be right here, but..."

I understood what Tangning was trying to say, because the stone wall in front of us was completely different from what we saw before. The broken stone steps seemed to have never existed at all, and even the ropes hanging from the edge of the stone wall were missing. This even made me suspicious. Did someone sneak the rope away after we came down.

The uncle seemed to have expected Tangning's appearance a long time ago, and he was not overly surprised. At this time, he continued the conversation in a serious manner, "The mechanism here is very huge, and it's all around us. You can tell by the sound that it's in constant operation. , it’s just that time is tight, and I can’t figure out the law of its operation, otherwise, if it takes a day or two, I can go out safely.”

After the uncle finished speaking, he knew that this was just self-consolation, so he sighed and said, "Come on, I'll take you to the front to have a look, but you have to be careful, don't touch it casually, and you may not find anything."

We walked forward with the uncle, and I gradually felt that the space here was at least the size of a football field, but there were many towering stone pillars in it, which inadvertently divided the place into several pieces.

As we walked, Dao Feng told the uncle what happened after we found me. The uncle thought the same as us, thinking that Wen Wen had already entered here, but she hadn't shown up yet, but maybe a scheming woman like her is now Hiding somewhere and watching us, ready to give us a knife.

The deeper you go, the more corpses you can see on the road. The uncle said that they were all things they had dealt with before. I nodded and looked at Sister Xuan. It's so embarrassing."

After turning around two stone pillars, the uncle took us to a place where the two sides of the stone wall were carved with patterns similar to Tai Chi, but it was called Tai Chi, but there were obvious differences. It was not two standard tadpoles, and there were no two points in the middle. It would be more appropriate to say that it is one surrounding the other.

There is a huge bronze tripod on the flat ground in the middle. There are three-legged and four-legged tripods, but the one in front of you feels very weird, because it has eight legs, arranged on the tripod like a spider. The sides of the tripod body, and the bottom of the tripod body is very close to the ground, it can be said that it is almost in contact with the ground.

The size of the tripod is enough to hold ten adults, and it is difficult to climb up. After Xiang Wen saw the tripod, the first thing he said was: "Every time I see this thing, I feel chilly. Let's get out of here." Well, I think even if there is a way out, it can’t be here, maybe something more disgusting will crawl out of the cauldron.”

Leo spoke blunt Chinese and said, "It's unlucky."

The uncle waved his hand and said in a low voice: "I feel the same as you. If this kind of thing is normal, you can never touch it, but now we have no other way to go. We can only try it. The so-called soldiers will block the water." Come to the earth to cover up, everyone see the tricks, I have a hunch, if you want to go out, you can rely on it."

Tangning walked around the cauldron and asked, "Have you guys gone up to see what's inside the cauldron?"

Leo gestured and said, "Look, it's empty...but it has a strange bottom."

"Strange bottom?" I was taken aback and asked, "What kind?"

"Like a coffin," Leo replied.

Dao Feng thought for a while and said, "Go up and have a look."

I nodded, and immediately put on my gloves and grabbed the edge of the tripod's body and climbed up behind Dao Feng.

After going up, I found that the capacity inside the cauldron was larger than it looked from the outside, and it was so dark inside that I couldn't see the whole picture with wolf eyes, but I could only vaguely see that there was indeed a coffin-like thing at the bottom. Things are exactly the same as what we saw on the road.I thought to myself, no wonder the uncles didn't dare to go down and open the coffin. This thing is a trap at a glance, and there will be no good things if it is not a trap.

But in this situation, no matter what we encounter, we have to try, just like the uncle said, we must see the tricks.

So I beckoned to Leo and signaled him to come over and shoot the coffin.

Leo climbed up very obediently, and raised his hand under my command. The corner of the coffin was broken, and then the coffin sank halfway down like a normal mechanism.

We all kept our original postures in silence, waiting to see what would happen next.

The sound of the booming machines in the surrounding area became louder and louder, and our hearts became more and more impatient. After an unknown period of time, the uncle suddenly shuddered and asked in a low voice: "You guys smell it, what does it smell like?"

Sister Xuan stared cautiously around while holding the gun, frowned when she heard this, and said, "It seems to be... a fishy smell?"

Xiang Wen covered his mouth and muttered, "It's a bit disgusting..."

Dao Feng held the flashlight and shone around. After observing quietly for a while, he suddenly said anxiously: "Look at the ground."

When the uncle heard Dao Feng's words, he hurriedly looked to the side, and found a lot of viscous liquid gushing out from nowhere, spreading towards us at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The bad feeling in my heart rose sharply. I accidentally took out a cold smoke from my bag and threw it at the liquid, only to see that the cold smoke was surrounded as soon as it hit the ground, and then instantly melted in a large piece of liquid.

A chill rose from behind, and I suddenly looked at the uncle and the others who were still standing beside the strange cauldron.

The uncle looked up at the positions of the three of us, cursed secretly, and waved his hands quickly: "Quick, go up! Don't touch these liquids!"

Xiang Wen was the last one to be dragged up. We sat on the edge of the tripod mouth, thinking about what to do next.

Sister Xuan stared at the more and more liquid below, not knowing what she was thinking. When I was about to throw a stronger object down to try again, she suddenly clapped her hands and said, "I remember! This smell... this smell It's blood!"
