Chapter 25 White Bone Array
We were a little confused by Professor Wu's words, and he heard him say again: "That's right, it's here. The ancient tomb we are looking for is here!"
Everyone realized that this was the only thing that could make Professor Wu so excited.
Then he took out an exquisite wooden box from his backpack, and then took out a piece of yellow silk from the wooden box and displayed it in front of us.
I leaned over and took a look. A simple model of a jade stele was drawn on the silk silk, which was exactly the same as the jade stele in front of me. Even the eight words "The magical mechanism is important, no one should be approached by a strange person."
Professor Wu explained: "I tried every means to get this thing. The model of the jade stele on it is said to be the jade stele erected by Xu Fu's disciple Chen Yanshu when he built the tomb. It can be seen that the shape is exactly the same as the jade stele under our feet. I guess Chen Yanshu's tomb is nearby."
Everyone was very happy to hear this, and this was one step closer to our goal.
So we continued to walk forward towards the passage behind the jade monument, but there was another world inside.
I saw a row of long-lasting lights on both sides of the passage. When we approached, we all glowed green light. Then the wicks on it began to go from dark to bright, and they all started to fall in less than ten seconds. The faint light gathered together and looked inexplicably weird.
Seeing this scene, everyone was inevitably a little panicked. Instead, Four-eyed eyes explained seriously: "Don't be afraid. It is probably because the surface of these eternal lamps is coated with phosphorus powder, which will spontaneously ignite when they encounter oxygen. The legendary ghost fire is this principle. The ancients often used this trick to scare tomb robbers, so those who don't know will think that there is really ghost fire."
However, Qin Xuanling seemed to notice something again and reminded softly: "Be careful, there is something strange here."
While everyone was nervous, they couldn't help but move forward a few steps. Then we found that there were many symbols and murals on the cave wall, and the style was very strange.
I saw one of the murals depicting a scene of a war. Both teams of people were dressed in strange clothes, and the weapons in their hands were the kind I had never seen before.
What's even more strange is that the soldiers on the murals are wearing long masks on their faces, but their eyes are painted very large, as if they will pop out at any time.
Just as we were shocked by the scene in front of us, a strange sound suddenly came from the passage, and then I smelled a very fragrant smell, and the sky suddenly turned dizzy in front of me.
Within a few seconds, my body completely fell limp, and when I saw the others, they were all dizzy and fell to the ground.
Next, my consciousness gradually became dazed, and I only saw Jinhu erecting his body with difficulty, but soon fell over and there was no movement.
Inadvertently, I found that the owner seemed to be muttering something in his mouth, and one hand pointed weakly in the direction where we came in.
I tried hard to cheer up, and looked along his fingers, and two words flashed through my mind immediately, and it was over.
I don’t know when, the bones in the basement were connected into one skeleton after another and all got up. After recombining each skeleton, it seemed very coordinated and was slowly moving towards us.
Qin Xuanling struggled as if he wanted to stop the bone array from approaching, but he had no strength and just waved his hand in vain.
Just when everyone was almost desperate, another gust of cold wind blew in the passage, and all the eternal lights were blown out in an instant.
The bone array in front of him immediately stopped where he was, as if he had heard some order.
I secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If this bone array approached us, everyone would not have the strength to resist at all, and they might have fallen.
Not long after, the strange fragrance in the passage dissipated and we slowly recovered our strength.
Everyone was wondering what happened. Could it be that the legendary Ten-scent soft tendons dissipated? The cold wind blew out there at the critical moment?
I asked Siyan if there was a design like a vent in the secret passage, otherwise it would not be possible to explain how this gust of cold wind came about.
Four-eyed answered that the structure in the secret passage itself was very well-connected and this possibility was not ruled out, but he was more inclined to scrape it from other forks.
Because designing a vent requires digging many narrow holes and maintaining the stability of the entire soil layer structure, this was a very difficult thing in ancient times.
After almost the physical strength was recovering, we slowly got up from the ground and supported each other and moved our muscles for a while.
I saw that Jinhu was twisting his waist coquettishly, and his eyebrows were shaking and firing at Xiaoqian, and I couldn't help laughing out loud.
At this moment, Qin Xuanling suddenly turned around and ran towards the basement. I saw that the situation was wrong and quickly followed. Qin Xuanling ran and said, "There was something wrong with the jade monument just now. We may have been in the agency."
Sure enough, after running a few steps, a deep hole appeared in front of us, with a diameter of about seven or eight meters. We were completely blocked in the passage.
Qin Xuanling said annoyedly: "It's over, this is the displacement of the magic machine of Guigu Gate. It's impossible for us to return the same way."
I was suddenly surprised. What kind of mechanism is so powerful that it made the basement disappear without a trace in a blink of an eye.
What's even more incredible is that the hole in front of me is simply unfathomable. I threw down a fluorescent stick, and the light spot gradually became smaller and I couldn't see it in the end. It can be seen that the depth of the hole is completely incalculable, at least hundreds of meters.
A gust of cold wind blew from time to time in the cave. I think the gust of wind in the passage just now must have blown from here. From this, we can judge that the lower part should be connected to the outside, otherwise there would be no airflow.
We hurried back and told Professor Wu and the others what we saw. Obviously, they did not realize that things would change so suddenly, and their faces changed.
In this way, we can only continue to move forward. Judging from the situation just now, there must be many mechanism traps ahead, and I am afraid that the danger cannot be ruled out.
Uncle Long said with a desperate look on his face: "Before I set off on the road, I specially burned Gao Xiang for Master Guan Er, hoping that we can go smoothly. But I didn't know that I've entered a dead end now and I have to go."
Jinhu grinned and said, "Hehe, Uncle Long, you are content. Your life is still there. This situation is probably going to be difficult, not to mention that Guan Erye or Buddha is coming."
Uncle Long gave Jinhu a blank look and said angrily: "Shut your crow's mouth, can Tathagata be compared with the Grandpa Laojun? I just think why I am so sad about this journey. Now it seems that it is all because of your crow's mouth."
Seeing that Jin Hu was a little funny because of his words, I hurried forward and persuaded him.
Before we knew it, it was already noon. After everyone thought that the road ahead was still long, so it would be better to take advantage of this time to eat something to replenish your energy.
As a result, before the butt was hot, the shipowner screamed nervously again. I thought to myself that this old guy is really a father, and he will cause trouble for everyone if he has nothing to do.
I gave Jin Hu a wink, and the two of them leaned over and put the owner in the middle, and Jin Hu pretended to be concerned and asked, "Dad, what's wrong with you? Just tell me."
The owner's eyes were dull and he ignored us at all. He was just muttering around, and I couldn't hear what he was saying.
Suddenly he shouted and pushed us away, and ran into the depths of the passage like crazy. Jinhu and I hurriedly chased after him, but after running not far, he got into a fork and disappeared.
I hurriedly stopped Jinhu. The situation in the fork was unclear, and it was easy for something to go in when I rashly entered.
After a while, Professor Wu and the others followed and panted and asked us what had happened.
Jinhu and I were both inexplicably, and only told them that the shipowner had been caught in something and ran into the fork.
Han Sen said from the side: "It's good that this old guy runs away, so he won't be in trouble after following our butt."
Professor Wu angrily said, "No matter what, it will be a life, you can't ignore it. Just hurry up and find it before he can run away."
Everyone looked at each other, but no one was willing to go out. This old guy was so annoying that no one wanted to take the risk to find him.
At this moment, Awei, who was standing behind Uncle Long, suddenly shouted: "Look at the front, he is out!"
