Chapter 76: Maze and Reunion

Didn’t that genres have been sought after by high-ranking officials and prominent officials, and the identity of the owner of this tomb is obviously noble.Chu Yuanzhen analyzed.

His meaning is obvious, the owner of the tomb is a fanatical admirer of dual cultivation.

It would be worth the trip to be able to see the long-lost dual cultivation technique here.Taoist Jinlian sighed.

Taoist priest, you are not close to women. This dual cultivation technique is useless to you.Xu Qi'an said with a smile.

Taoist Jinlian's face turned black.

The clothes worn by those people on the murals are a bit strange, so old that I can't tell which dynasty or dynasty it was.

Compared to the dual cultivation technique, Chu Yuanzhen is more interested in another mural.

Xu Qian had already recorded the dual cultivation techniques on the mural and quickly urged: Let's go, leave here, it's important to find No. 5.

He wants to monopolize such a good thing.

So everyone continued to explore. Qianyou listened to their conversation throughout the whole process and knew that the things on the mural were the legendary dual cultivation technique.

Good things, both slept and practice are good.

For men, it is simply an irresistible temptation.Especially for people like Qian You, who lack resources, guidance from famous teachers, and secret books.

He quietly took a few steps back, and when Xu Qi'an and others walked away, Qian You immediately turned around and went back to look at the mural.

Time is limited, and he only recorded a few pictures just now, and he could not make up an effective dual cultivation technique, which was equivalent to useless.

I'll chase them after me, and it'll be fine soon, it'll be fine soon...

Qian You held the torch and walked very fast. In the empty environment, only his footsteps were echoing.

Slowly, Qianyou found something was wrong. He had been walking for so long and had not yet walked back to where the mural was.

We haven't walked so far, why haven't we returned to the location of the mural yet?

He held up the torch and shone around, and the tomb was empty and terrible.Not only are there no murals, but there is not even a coffin.

The murals disappeared, the sarcophagus and the zombies disappeared... He stood there for a moment, and cold sweat surged out.

Qian You's teeth trembled, and his voice trembled: Big, hero?Hero, I'm here, don't leave me...

The sound echoed, refracted, deformed in the open environment, and when it was transmitted back to the ears, it seemed like someone else was shouting.

Qian You's spine was cold, his hair stood up one by one, he closed his mouth tightly, and he never dared to speak again.

He turned his head and walked back, trying to catch up with Xu Qi'an and others.However, he went from walking to running wildly, running out of breath, and never caught up with Xu Qi'an.

There was no one to see, and in the quiet tomb, only his footsteps echoed, making people feel like falling into an ice cellar and experiencing the coldness from hell.

Suddenly, Qianyou, who was running wildly, tripped and threw himself to the ground. He groaned with a muffled groan. He grabbed the torch in panic and shone over.

It was a corpse, to be precise, half of it.

He only had the upper body, and the lower body was cut off by something in the waist, and the wound was bloody and fuzzy.The organs in the abdomen were also hollowed out.

Qianyou Ah exclaimed in surprise, and was so scared that he rolled and crawled away.

There are evil things, there are evil things that can eat people... It's nearby, I will encounter it at any time... The huge fear exploded in my heart, and my friends' face turned pale a little bit.

Leave, leave here quickly.

Qian You's hand holding the torch shook slightly, took a deep breath, and forced himself to calm down.

He is an old man from the Houtu Gang. He has been to the tomb and experienced various crises, but he is not as weird as the one in front of him. Fortunately, he still has the courage and will not be scared to death.

The fire may attract evil things, but without the torch lighting, I may not know that I hit it head-on.Moreover, if you stay underground all year round, your eyes will definitely deteriorate and you are not very sensitive to light.

What I want to do is not to extinguish the fire, but to remove the smell from my body.

As a mature tomb robber, there are all these things.Take out a porcelain jar from the package I carried with me. The jar contains a pungent powder. If you smell it carefully, it is somewhat similar to the stinking smell of a corpse.

Qianyou sprinkled the powder on his body, held the torch, and walked carefully.

He has no sense of direction at all, so he can go wherever he goes.

Suddenly, a surprise voice came from behind: Qianyou?

……

He walked forward with a torch in his hand for a while, and Taoist Master Jinlian suddenly frowned: Are we missing someone?

While speaking, he looked back and the old Taoist priest's pupils shrank slightly.

The back of his body was empty, and the leader of the Houtu Gang disappeared.

Xu Qi'an, Chu Yuanzhen and Hengyuan noticed the abnormality and their faces changed slightly, as if they were facing a great enemy.

When did he disappear?I didn't notice it at all.Xu Qi'an closed his eyes, stared at him and felt it, frowned and said:

The divine awareness was not affected. If it was swept away by something, I would not have noticed it.Because since that thing is hostile to him, it will definitely develop the same hostility towards us.

Once hostility arises, my divine sense will be quickly captured and feedback to me.

Chu Yuanzhen's face was solemn and analyzed: Not only that, there was one less footsteps, but we didn't even notice it?This is unusual in itself.

Hengyuan frowned without saying a word.

Taoist Jinlian moved his heart, took out the fragments of the earth book, looked at it for a moment, and said in a deep voice: The fragments of the earth book are no longer useful.

Xu Qi'an, Chu Yuanzhen and Hengyuan made the move to pull things into their arms at the same time, but the latter two successfully took out fragments of the earth book, and Xu Qi'an woke up in time, stopped his horse, and scratched his chest without any fireworks...

It's really not useful.Chu Yuanzhen tried to pass the letter, but after his failure, his face darkened.

The reason why the No. 5 drifted in Xiangcheng and lost contact was found out.

This underground tomb blocked fragments of the earth book.

Me, I seem to know where this is, well, to be precise, we know our situation.Zhong Li raised her hand.

When the four of them saw it, she lowered her head and whispered:

Generally speaking, the structure of the tomb is divided into three layers: inner, middle and outer.The innermost layer is the main tomb, the owner of the large tomb is sleeping.In the middle is a side room and a corridor, where the important burial figures of the tomb owner are sleeping in, while the outer layer is the defense of the tomb.We are now on the outermost layer and the most dangerous layer.

There are mechanisms, traps, and formations here... If I read correctly, we will enter the tomb with murals and step into the formation.

The four men looked at her at the same time, and Xu Qi'an glared and said: Why didn't you say it earlier?

I forgot it, Zhong Li lowered her head and said aggrievedly: I don’t know why, but I forgot it.

Hearing this, the four men were silent and couldn't bear to blame her anymore.

What kind of formation is this? Can you tell it?Taoist Master Jinlian asked.

It should be a maze formation. The outer layout of the underground palace is in line with this formation. We are now in a huge maze and we must find the right path to leave, otherwise we will be trapped here all the time.Zhong Li said.

Take us away quickly.Chu Yuanzhen said hurriedly.

I, I will take you to the dead end.Zhong Li's head became lower and lower.

Everyone: ...

The unlucky prophet... Xu Qi'an sighed in his heart.

Chu Yuanzhen frowned, glanced at Xu Qi'an, and immediately found inspiration from him: If you cannot break the formation by conventional means, then violently breaking the formation is the best choice, just like the two swords Xu Qi'an slashed during the battle.

Taoist Master Jinlian rejected the proposal and said with a serious expression: It is best not to do this before you find out the identity of the tomb owner.The outer layer is made of green hill stones, so luxurious that even in ancient times, even the current Dafeng Emperor Jing of Yuan Dynasty could not produce so many green hill stones.

The ancient dual cultivation technique is the secret method of the school of contemplation. It will not be handed over all of them at any time, but there is one in the tomb.

The maze we are in is so exquisite, and it was arranged for at least two thousand years, and there were no warlocks at that time.All of the above shows that the owner of this tomb is not simple. If you rashly break the formation, you may lead to unpredictable consequences.Ha, if you are a third-grade master, then pretend I didn’t say it.

Chu Yuanzhen nodded silently.

Hengyuan frowned: What should we do now?

He is a monk and doesn't understand these things.Chu Yuan practiced swordsmanship carefully, and although he was a scholar, he was knowledgeable and knowledgeable.But it also does not work in the formation.

Xu Ningyan, a martial artist, couldn't count on him even more.

The Taoist sect is not feng shui, but I have a little bit of knowledge about the formation. I can try to take you to explore.Taoist Master Jinlian said.

The Taoist sect knows formations. When Zi Lian and Yang Yan fought against each other outside the city, they set up a large formation.It's just that he is not as perverted as a warlock. He raises his foot and the formation patterns arise.

A quarter of an hour later, Taoist Master Jinlian's face was stiff, and he looked at the darkness ahead, frowned without saying a word.

Jinlian failed to explore the way and doubted life.

Taoist priest, you are also a parallel person... Xu Qi'an complained in his heart.

No one here knew that Taoist Jinlian was the remnant soul of the Taoist leader of the Earth Sect, and had a good side. Therefore, he did not know that behind his serious expression, there was a heavy fact hidden.

They are in trouble, a huge problem.

Before the warlock, who else has such powerful formation attainments?Taoist Jinlian was meditating and plundering suspicious targets in her mind.

Is there nothing the Taoist priest can do?

Hengyuan and Chu Yuanzhen looked at each other and saw the heaviness in each other's eyes.

I was too careless. I had known that I should have checked the local chronicles of Xiangcheng, checked historical books, and found clues of the tomb, and then I thought about not being able to get down tomb... The lineup of our team, the fourth-rank master had to escape when he saw it, which made me inflated my mind and careless.

Chu Yuanzhen secretly regretted it.

Hengyuan chanted the Buddha's name in a low voice, and he felt guilty. No. 5 disappeared for several days, waiting for rescue in the dark and strange tomb.But as soon as my group came down, I encountered the problem of being unfair.

Taoist Jinlian sighed and looked at Zhong Li: What do you think?Don't tell me your choice, just elaborate on the mystery of this formation in detail.

Zhong Li pondered: This type of formation is usually built in the dark room and underground. Otherwise, the person entering the formation can easily distinguish the correct path by simply positioning the direction.

If you cannot identify the direction, if you want to leave the formation, you can only rely on the experience and judgment of the person entering the formation.Me, my experience and judgment once "lard is confused", it may cause greater trouble.

Now, Taoist Jinlian also fell silent.

The members of the Tiandihui Association finally realized the despair of No. 5. They were in the underground palace and could not get out and could not contact the outside world.Let time pass by little by little, and the physical condition gradually declines...

In the solemn atmosphere, Zhong Li raised her hand again and whispered: Actually, there is another safe way.

Chu Yuanzhen and Xu Qi'an looked happy and said anxiously: What's the solution?

Hengyuan looked up at her, his eyes full of anticipation.

Taoist Jinlian’s heart moved.

Zhong Li poked Xu Qi'an with her finger, lowered her head and said: Let him lead the way, we can go out, well, there is a high probability.

he?!

The surrounding eyes shifted from Zhong Li to Xu Qi'an.

Chu Yuanzhen looked at it incredibly, and many thoughts flashed through his mind. Xu Ningyan was just a martial artist and could not understand the formation. If he wanted him to break the formation, it would be better to let me do it.

But this prophet of Si Tianjian will not joke at will, so is Xu Ningyan himself special, or is there something on him that can break the magic circle?

However, according to Xu Ningyan's expression, he seemed quite surprised by this...

Thinking of this, Chu Yuanzhen couldn't help but look at Taoist Jinlian, but found that he seemed to be suddenly enlightened.

Taoist Jinlian also knows it?Chu Yuanzhen secretly recorded this detail.

There seemed to be some secret about Xu Ningyan... I became more and more curious about him.

Lord Xu understands the formation?

Hengyuan's inner drama is not as rich as the top scholar, so he directly asked for doubts.

Xu Qi'an's mouth twitched: I don't understand.

……

Qian Youran suddenly turned around, took out his weapons and took a look at the alert position, then squinted his eyes and stared at the darkness ahead, and whispered: Who?

The footsteps approached, and someone approached the edge of the torch light illumination area, the outlines ranged from blur to clear, this was a middle-aged man in his forties.

His face was thin, his eyes were deep, and his eyes were covered with bloodshot, like a sick man who had a serious illness and his body was hollowed out.

The jaw that had not been repaired for many days has grown a circle of blue-black short beards, which are sloppy and decadent.

Gang leader?

Qian You widened his eyes and looked ecstatic. He moved the torch and found many familiar faces, all of whom were brothers from the Houtu Gang.

Unexpectedly, I met the gang leader here, and I did not have any effort to get it... My friend Qian was about to meet him, but suddenly his face changed, his weapon pointed at everyone, and shouted with a harsh and cowardly voice:

Don't come over, don't move them all, otherwise my sword will not recognize anyone.Well, how do you prove yourself?

The sick man's gang leader showed a gratified smile: Very good, no carelessness. It seems that the human skin ghoul I met underground in Jingzhou two years ago impressed you.

The gang members behind him then scolded: "The surname Qian, don't you know why you left you on it?" Just by your three-legged cat's kung fu, you'll be sent to death.

Haha, it's you really.Qianyou laughed instead of anger and happily met him. When he approached the leader of the sick husband's gang, he suddenly sprinkled a handful of cinnabar.

Damn, this broken thing can only deal with low-level vengeful spirits and is useless to zombies.The sick man gang leader slapped the cinnabar on his body and cursed.

At this point, money friends have no doubts anymore.

He held up the torch and looked over one by one, and saw the elderly wild warlock, the deputy leader with gray hair, deep eyes, and the same haggard appearance.

At this time, the white robe on her body was already dirty and torn.

Then, he saw the girl in southern Xinjiang. The girl's originally round face had a lot of weight, her chin was a little pointed, and she still looked handsome, but her eyes were covered with bloodshot. She seemed to have not slept for a long time, and her expression could not hide her haggardness.

After he finished reading one by one, he counted the number of people and felt quite heavy.

This time, there are thirty-two people in the Cave Palace, but now there are only twelve people left.

Are you hungry?I brought you dry food and water.Qianyou untied the bow he carried on his back and gave everyone dry food.

Including the girl from southern Xinjiang, everyone's eyes suddenly lit up, staring at Shaobing, just like staring at naked beauty.

The food of this team had been exhausted and they were hungry underground for several days.

During the process of distributing the food, Qianyou noticed that the gang brothers were injured, some even broke their arms, and disappeared with their sleeves. The wound was simply bandaged and blood was faintly exposed.

Gangmaster, what's wrong with you?Qian asked.

Hearing this, everyone who was eating voraciously stopped at the same time, and the sick man gang leader whispered: We are in trouble.

The blind man also saw this.Qian Youxin said.

This is a maze, and I can't get out no matter how I go. After I took my brothers to the tomb, I entered a tomb full of zombies. I sacrificed many brothers to kill those evil things. Thanks to Lina, otherwise there would be more brothers who died and injured.

The sick man glanced at the girl who was eating the cake with his head down and continued: After entering the tomb, we never went out again. We have been wandering around for several days, with the water and food reduced one by one.

For this reason, the gang had an argument with the invited masters... This was not the worst. Once we woke up and found that the brother who was on the vigil was gone.

Since then, several brothers have disappeared for no reason every day.The team was in a huge panic, and the invited masters had a disagreement with us. After a fierce quarrel, they parted ways.

Not long after, we found that all those who left the team died, and their deaths were miserable, as if they had been eaten by something.

Qian You's heart sank, and he inexplicably thought of the terrible corpse that tripped him.

The sick man took a sip of water, swallowed the food in his mouth, and said: That is a monster, a very powerful monster. It is hunting us and eating two people every day. If there is too much, don’t want it, but if there is less, it won’t work.

When he said this, there was a slight tremor in his voice.

We've beaten it twice, thanks to Lina here, otherwise, maybe you can't see us anymore.The sick husband gang leader said in a deep voice:

But Lina's condition is getting worse and worse. Without food and water supplement, we will eventually have a moment of exhaustion.By the way, why did you get out?
