"Generally speaking, traps are set up in front of the stone gate of the tomb to prevent tomb robbers from entering and stealing property." Song Nan explained to Nan Yu decently: "The traps mostly use arrows, and the arrows poison the poison, and they will die immediately if they touch a single point." , so when you encounter Shimen, don't step forward lightly."

Nan Yu continued to walk forward with a blank face, standing in front of the stone door that Zhan Hua slapped open, turned her head and asked him: "Are you going?"

Song Nan: "...here we come."

But take every step carefully.

Ji Huai looked around with the faint candlelight, "Did we come to this place just now?"

"Yeah." Zhan Hua pointed to the mark left on the wall, "Look."

"Why is this mark not right?" Ji Huai frowned.

Before leaving, Zhan Hua used a dagger to carve a mark on the wall with a small top and a big bottom, but now they came here again, the mark turned into a big top and a small bottom.

"This mark is reversed." Zhan Hua stretched out his hand to touch the mark, looked up at the top of the tomb passage.

"I've heard of a kind of tomb. Eight passages are set up outside the main room, with four corners and four corners. These eight passages are connected to each other. There are ways of life and death. There are countless traps, but there is no trap for killing people. The eight passages can Flip up and down, the way of life may become a way of death, and the way of life may become a way of life, you will be trapped in it, and whether you can get out depends on luck." Song Nan said his teeth were sour.

"It's just that it takes a lot of manpower and material resources to build this kind of tomb, and it has very high requirements on the terrain and soil texture. Ordinary people don't build the tomb in such a complicated way."

"It took so much effort, how many treasures does the owner of the tomb hide inside?" Nanyu couldn't help complaining after hearing this.

Unexpectedly, Ji Huai and Zhan Hua's expressions changed after hearing what she said.

This is really not sure.

"Ji Ming", that is, before Zhao Jian's death, Zhao Jian repeatedly told Ji Huai to come to Shiyuan City to find Ji Yu's body and send it back to Wan Lai. In this tomb.

It's just that Ji Huai couldn't figure out one thing. If the gatekeeper was really Ji Yu, and there was indeed a map of heaven and earth in the tomb, why did he introduce them into the tomb?

Could it be that they thought they couldn't find the Qiankun map and tried to trap them to death?

Ji Huai felt that things were not that simple.

"Be careful of fraud." Zhan Hua only said this to him.

Ji Huai nodded.

The four of them continued to move forward, when suddenly there was a loud sound of footsteps from above their heads, and the sound of swords colliding could be heard vaguely. A few pieces of gravel fell, and Zhan Hua's face changed, "Get out of here!"

A few people hurriedly stood against the wall, and three people fell from the top, two of them had familiar clothes, but Nanyu recognized them first, "It was the officers and soldiers who hunted down the Wulin League that day! They are from the capital! "

As soon as the two heard that their identities had been found out, they wanted to attack, but Zhan Hua and Nan Yu were faster than them. In less than a quarter of an hour, the three of them became three corpses nailed to the wall with broken soul threads .

Nan Yu scoured the corpse without any fuss. Seeing that she was a little girl, Song Nan couldn't stand the job, so she offered to help.

It stands to reason that he also worked his life for the emperor, and these few people were barely half his own people to him, but Song Nan really didn't have a good impression of the emperor, so he decisively helped with the body search.

"Hiss..." Song Nan looked at the found tokens and felt that it was time to finish, "This is from Beizhen Fusi."

"Beizhen Fusi?" Although Nanyu didn't know much about the official system of the imperial court, he had heard of the name of Beizhen Fusi.

Beizhen Fusi is directly under the emperor, and there are some ruthless characters who kill people without blinking an eye, and the prison under him is even more notorious.

Compared with the notoriety of the court and the people in the martial arts, the former is more deterrent.

It's just that the martial arts and the imperial court have always been well watered, no matter whether it is the righteous way or the so-called demon religion, the martial arts do not like to have anything to do with the imperial court.

Zhan Hua looked at Ji Huai, "The people from the capital are catching up."

He had been pretending to be in disguise and hanging out in Cangkongmen before, so he naturally knew that Zhao Yue was the one left by Zhao Jian to Ji Huai, but this Zhao Yue was really not of much use in Zhan Hua's eyes, he would only get close to Ji Huai every day.

"In addition to those two from Fusi of Beizhen, there is another one from Changhong Valley." Nanyu took out the other party's token and couldn't help frowning, "Why did people from the Wulin League also come down?"

Ji Huai looked at Song Nan, "What's going on with you and Zhao Yue?"

"Zhao Yue received the news that you were designed to enter the tomb under Yizhuang, so he hurriedly took me to blow up a cave, and then... that's it." Song Nan obviously didn't understand the situation. , "I have lived here for more than 20 years, and I didn't even know that there was such a large-scale tomb under the lake in Yizhuang."

The tone was mixed with a trace of regret.

Wulin League, Beizhen Fusi, Zhao Yue, Cang Kongmen, Quan Ning, and Song Nan, the son of a general who was somehow involved, plus Zhan Hua and Ji Huai, several forces were entangled in one place and were all trapped In this ever-changing treacherous tomb.

But it's all for the Qiankun map.

Even if Beizhen Fusi wholeheartedly wanted to kill Ji Huai, it was to prevent him from getting the Qiankun map.

"So are we going to find a way to get out now?" Song Nan asked.

"No." Ji Huai gave him a negative answer, and he looked at the additional stone door that appeared at some point, "We need to find the location of the main tomb before those people."

Song Nan was dumbfounded.

"If Little General Song wants to go out, he can find his own way of life." Ji Huai said again.

"No, I'll follow you." Song Nan shook his head. "This kind of tomb is easy to enter and exit. It is more likely to enter the main tomb to find a way out."

So the four of them continued walking forward with a half-burned candle, and the shadows were reflected on the stone wall, which was quite strange.

This time they walked very carefully and did not trigger any mechanism, but after about a quarter of an hour, the entire tomb passage suddenly reversed, and after a while of confusion, the wall on their left became the ground under their feet.

"The wall was turned over." Song Nan looked in the direction of the stone gate before, "Why do I feel that the direction of the tomb passage is also turned over?"

Moreover, the tomb passage was dark and there was no compass to guide them. They couldn't tell the difference between east, west and north at all.

That is to say, they were walking forward all the time, and when the mechanism moved, the wall on one side came to their feet. Even if they stood still, the original "front" would become the back.

And how can the dizzy spin keep still? Once the mechanism is changed, it can make people completely dizzy. If this is repeated several times, even people with the best psychological quality will collapse.

"About a quarter of an hour." Nanyu said suddenly: "In a quarter of an hour, the direction of this tomb passage will change once."

"And these eight tomb passages should have only one exit and one entrance." Song Nan added: "The one that Zhao Yuesheng and I exploded should have been an exit, but unfortunately we can't find it anymore."

Holding the dagger, Ji Huai drew a few lines on the ground with the help of a weak candlelight, "If it is true as General Song said, there are eight tomb passages under this tomb, and these tomb passages are connected in pairs, Keep changing, but no matter how the tomb passage changes, there will always be one leading to the exit and one leading to the entrance."

"What we have to do now is to find the one with the entrance." Ji Huai tapped the eight intertwined lines with a dagger.

"But how to find this dizzy place?" Nan Yu asked with a bitter face.

"The city gate assists the Sanqin, and the wind and smoke look at the Wujin." Ji Huai said.

"Mr. Ji, when are you still in the mood to recite poems?" Song Nan was very puzzled.

Zhan Hua looked at Ji Huai, "Shiyuan City is in the northwest."

Ji Huai's eyes lit up, "Then Sanqin...Chang'an is just northeast of Shiyuan City."

"Wujin—Shuchuan is in the southeast of Shiyuan City." Zhan Hua continued.

"The first half of the poem is where you are going to leave." Ji Huai circled a line on the ground, "The tomb passage in the northeast direction is the exit!"

"The place where you want to go in the second half of the sentence is the entrance." Zhan Hua clicked on the line that was one space away from him, "The tomb passage in the southeast."

Nan Yu and Song Nan were at a loss when they heard it, and Song Nan was puzzled, "Why did you suddenly start to introduce the entrance and the entrance from the poem?"

Nanyu didn't think so much, but instead asked with great interest: "But how do we know which two tomb passages are in the northeast and southeast?"

"Three and five." Zhan Hua reached out and touched the wall, and said to Ji Huai: "It is difficult to identify the direction in the tomb passage, maybe there are some marks in places we didn't notice."

Ji Huai nodded, "I can only find one tomb passage by one passage."

"It means that if we find the fifth tomb passage, we can enter the main tomb?" Although Song Nan was dizzy from hearing this, she had a strong ability to focus on the key points, and she instantly had the hope of survival again.

"It stands to reason." Ji Huai said: "It's just that the passage in this tomb is completely dark and densely covered with traps. It is very likely that we will fall into another passage before we find the sign."

"Then why don't we mark it?" Nanyu said.

"It's easy to say, but you may not be able to find the marks you made before." Song Nan felt that this was a bit troublesome.

"Then do you have a better way?" Nanyu folded her arms and looked down at him.

Song Nan: "...No."

"It doesn't matter, let's look in the tomb first!" The girl Nanyu suddenly became energetic for some reason, and began to grope around.

"Nanyu, don't go around—" Ji Huai hadn't finished his warning when Nanyu groaned, the originally quiet tomb passage suddenly turned over, and the four of them were scattered away in an instant.

Bang!

When the mechanism was closed, Ji Huai fell heavily to the ground, gasped in pain, and as soon as he raised his head, he met the eyes of a group of people from Beizhen Fusi.

While the candlelight was flickering, the two sides stared at each other, obviously they had been bumped into the same tomb passage.

Ji Huai and Zhan Hua were scattered, and now they were alone, and the other side wanted his life again, and now their backs didn't hurt and their legs didn't hurt, they got up from the ground and ran.

"Stop!" Someone shouted angrily, followed by the sound of messy footsteps.

"Be careful! Don't step on the mechanism!" Someone reminded.

"Ah!" As soon as he finished speaking, someone accidentally fell into another tomb passage, and the entire tomb passage was reversed again, and someone broke down and cursed: "Damn it! What the hell is this?" place!"

At this time, Ji Huai was extremely grateful for the design of such a switch in the tomb passage. He stepped on the floor tiles as much as possible while running, but he didn't come to whatever he wanted. After running for a long time, he didn't step on a single switch.

There was the sound of sharp blades piercing the air from behind, Ji Huai slammed to the side and hit the wall, only to hear a click, the surrounding was suddenly empty, and rolled into another tomb passage in chaos.

This tomb passage is pitch black and there is no light source, and now Ji Huai is alone again, and he does not have a fire bag on his body, so he can only bite the bullet and grope forward carefully, until he finally touches the mechanism, go to a lighted tomb passage to get it. A few candles to spare.

As he was groping carefully, his breath suddenly stopped.

In the quiet tomb passage, there seemed to be another person's breathing, faintly coming from behind him.

Ji Huai swallowed hard, his palms were so tense that a fine cold sweat broke out.
