Chapter 49: Sinan Town House, Pictographic Conjuring(1/2)
This is a strange stone chamber: the walls are covered with crystal stones, with black lines connecting vertically and horizontally, winding and snakes, with a magnificent atmosphere and a vast and leisurely arise.
"This is the Star Palace Map." Xu Fusheng blurted out and his eyes fell along the wall to the ground.
The ground was smooth and as if it had been polished, it could reveal a shadow of a person. Xu Fusheng was stunned. He thought of the bronze mirror stone chamber and couldn't help but take a step back in case there was a change.
When his eyes adapted to the light of the stone chamber, a strange object appeared. The object was glowing with green light. Liu Qingyu saw at a glance that it was made of iron and stone. After years of erosion, no rust was left.
The shape of stone iron and the star map on the wall complement each other. When you look closely, you look like a North Star.
"Isn't this just a spoon?" Liu Anshun said strangely, "This is not a place to cook, right? Is it necessary to use such a big spoon?"
Liu Qingyu patted Liu Anshun, "This is not a spoon, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand."
Liu Anshun looked at the building and it was clearly a spoon.
Zhang Xiaolin murmured, "This is Si Nan."
Cheng Geng remembered Zhuo Bufei's compass, but the ground in front of him was not like a compass, full of hexagrams, and the overall smooth as a calm lake.
At this moment, the short spear hidden around Liu Qingyu's waist trembled and fell to the ground with a 'on' sound.
Everyone was shocked when they heard the sound.
Liu Qingyu hurriedly leaned over to pick it up, but the short gun seemed to be fixed on it and could not be picked up.
Xu Fusheng breathed a sigh of relief and slowly looked around the stone chamber. He found that there was no exit and became lost for a moment.
Zhang Xiaolin could not see the key. He witnessed Ning Guoyuan's death and was still silent in grief. He was unwilling to be distracted, so he lay on Mu Xiancui's back and sighed.
"Will the exit beneath that strange building?" Cheng Geng looked at the iron spoon and had a sudden thought, "I think this iron spoon is a bit weird."
Xu Fusheng agreed, "Brother Cheng is right, and I also think the iron spoon is a bit weird."
Gu Qiu looked at Cheng Geng with joy on his cheeks when he heard this. The only relative in the world recognized Cheng Geng, and even with just a word, he was very happy.
Liu Qingyu spent a lot of effort and was unable to pick up the short gun from the ground. All the plans were completely ruined. Perhaps this is what is often said, man's calculations are better than God's calculations!
Liu Qingyu looked ugly and was planning what happened next. After all, his brothers were not Mu Xiancui's opponents. Thinking of Xu Fusheng, he felt a little more expectant in his heart and thought to himself, "Maybe this is the only way."
When he looked at Xu Fusheng with thought, Xu Fusheng said to Cheng Geng, "Why don't we move the iron spoon and take a look?"
Cheng Geng felt it made sense. The two of them headed towards the iron spoon.
They were careful all the way, afraid that they would accidentally step on the place they shouldn't have stepped on.
The spoon is very rough. From the appearance alone, it should have been chiseled from a piece of iron and stone. It is now stuck to the smooth ground and is out of place.
Xu Fusheng looked at it for a long time but didn't find anything special. He knew Ji Kuo very well, but couldn't figure out the tricks here.
Cheng Geng was more wild. He reached out and stroked the iron stone, and the hand was cold. The carved traces were very restless, and the ancient aura echoed. He thought in a daze, "I really don't understand what the function of this building is."
Sinan's function is very special! The main purpose is to distinguish directions, but Sinan also has one function, that is, to suppress the deceased house!
First of all, this place is certain that it is not a tomb, but a strange-shaped Sinan appeared. Apart from pointing out the direction, I really couldn't think of anything else to do!
Xu Fusheng's eyes fell on the wall's star palace map and pondered, "Will the direction Si Nan pointed to be the exit?"
Cheng Geng said happily, "Maybe this is true."
The two looked at the position where Si Nan's iron spoon handle pointed and began to grop around, but after searching the ground and walls in the direction, they still found nothing. The two looked at each other speechlessly, full of confusion.
Liu Anshun approached the big iron spoon and reached out to push it. The spoon made a buzzing sound, and the ground moved significantly. Liu Anshun was shocked, took a step back, and stared at the surroundings.
Everyone looked at him. He shivered and explained, "I did it without intention."
A smile appeared on Xu Fusheng's face. He found the key to leaving this.
Xu Fusheng hurried forward and tried to push the big spoon. With his push, the big iron spoon really started to run and made a 'buzz' sound.
Mu Xiancui kept moving with Zhang Xiaolin on his back, barely stabilizing his body.
Xu Fusheng became confused and tried to push for a moment, and found that there was no door that left as he imagined, and sweat oozed out of his forehead.
Everyone began to retreat and wanted to return the same way, but their respective situations made them afraid to do that. For a moment, a heavy atmosphere was shrouded in.
Cheng Gengsi said, "Will our starting point be wrong?"
Xu Fusheng nodded secretly, "Maybe, let's push it back to its original position and take a look." Cheng Geng helped Xu Fusheng start pushing back the big iron spoon. A strange thing happened, and the stone gate when it came, "bang" gathered together.
Everyone's faces suddenly changed.
Liu Qingyu was very regretful. He had just planned to return, but there was no way out at this moment. He was careless and kept slapping at the stone wall, but found that the entrance when he came was already fit with the stone wall, and there was no possibility of opening it at all.
Liu Anshun was panicked and hurriedly pushed the big iron spoon. The stone door seemed to disappear and never appeared again. Everyone was panicked.
Breathing gradually became difficult. Xu Fusheng's face changed drastically, and then he realized that his unintentional actions caused a huge disaster.
Liu Qingyu stared at Xu Fusheng with a reproachful look.
Gu Qiu stood beside Xu Fusheng and glared at Liu Qingyu.
Liu Qingyu took back his anger, and he knew Gu Qiu's hand very well.
Gu Qiu said, "Dad, what should I do? If you continue to waste this, everyone will be suffocated to death here."
Xu Fusheng touched his forehead and took a deep breath. His eyes fell on the star palace map on the wall, and his eyebrows were furrowed together. He vaguely felt that the method of opening the stone wall was on the star palace map. But after looking at it for a long time, he did not find anything strange.
Cheng Geng looked at the Star Palace map. He found that there was no North Star in the Star Palace map. He couldn't help but think, "Is this Si Nan not for guidance?" He thought again, "If it was not for guidance, was it for the housekeeping? But this is not a tomb?" He thought about all the weird things he saw along the way, and couldn't help but take a deep breath. Whether it was the wind chime that gathered souls or the ebony in the aisle, there was a message!
This is a shady house!
Cheng Geng figured out the key, took a few steps back, looked at the big iron spoon carefully, but still didn't find anything special. His squinted eyes accidentally discovered that the big iron spoon was covered by darkness, and the shadow could be seen faintly. He leaned forward, and after seeing clearly, he couldn't help but breathe and became nervous.
The big iron spoon is dark, carved with strange figures. Looking closely, it is the long insect that has just swallowed Ning Guoyuan. His face looks so good.
Xu Fusheng found out the abnormality and came over. After looking at it for a long time, he was not very clear about this thing. Everyone's eyes became a little more worried.
Zhang Xiaolin put away his grief and murmured, "This worm may be the legendary heart-eating worm."
"Heart-eating insect?" Xu Fusheng's face changed, and he thought of a possibility.
Zhang Xiaolin said, "It is recorded in ancient books that heart-eating insects can erode hard things. It is rumored that insects in heaven do not belong to the human world. I don't know why there are heart-eating insects here."
Liu Qingyu frowned and said strangely, "Why does the heart-eating insect sound familiar?" He looked at Zhang Xiaolin again.
Zhang Xiaolin snorted angrily, glanced at him, unwilling to pay attention to him.
They were a grudge, but now they were good. The two were trapped here at the same time, but the resentment in their hearts was still difficult to calm down. After all, Zhang Xiaolin's legs were so successful because of Liu Qingyu. If they weren't here, Mu Xiancui would have exploded long ago.
Xu Fusheng took over the conversation and said, "This heart-eating insect was used by Emperor Huang to attack Chiyou."
Liu Anshun laughed. Huangdi was a mythical figure, but Xu Fusheng used it to explain it and found it funny, but when he saw everyone's serious appearance, he put away his smile.
Xu Fusheng continued, "Chiyou's bronze and iron bones are said to be unable to cut him even if Xuanyuan Sword is said to be able to cut him. Chiyou has eighty-one brothers, all of whom are extraordinary in power. He has set up a method of spreading the sky and fog suddenly fell from the sky, which fascinated the emperor's army. Fortunately, the Nine Heavens Xuannv arrived and guided Huangdi to build a compass cart before rushing out of the fog. And Si Nan under our feet is said to be evolution and compass cart."
Cheng Geng was fascinated by the sound of hearing and asked, "What about later?"
Xu Fusheng touched the sweat on his forehead, "With the help of the Nine Heavens Xuannv, Huangdi captured Chiyou, but the sword and axe were difficult to hurt. The Nine Heavens Xuannv used great magic to divide Chiyou's body into several sections, but Chiyou was very amazing and could actually reshape his true body. Huangdi was also helpless because of this. Chiyou was very cruel. Once he escaped, the world would be in chaos."
"In a time of crisis, the Nine Heavens Xuannv asked for the most evil insect from the Heavenly Court, which is the heart-eating insect. This heart-eating insect has an effect and can erode anything in the world. The Nine Heavens Xuannv divided Chiyou's true identity into nine parts and distributed it in the Jiuzhou. Every place where Chiyou's remaining limbs were buried, the heart-eating insect was placed."
Xu Fusheng slowly came back to his senses and stared at the carving of the heart-eating worm and said, "In fact, this heart-eating worm has another unknown use, that is, it is to tie up the ghosts and keep them away. According to the myth, after a person dies, the soul will enter the underworld, but the body eroded by the heart-eating worm will disappear forever."
When Zhang Xiaolin heard this, he started sobbing again.
Liu Qingyu couldn't help laughing. He had been on the battlefield for decades. He had always heard that Zhang Xiaolin was a hero, but now he was crying in front of him. This is the biggest interesting thing.
Thinking of Ning Guoyuan's tragic situation, Mu Xiancui was sad, and Gu Qiu and Cheng Geng also became thrilled.
"Qiu'er, what's wrong with you?" Xu Fusheng asked with concern.
Gu Qiu said sadly, "Even if Mr. Ning died in this group of heart-eating insects, I almost couldn't come back."
"Haha, what do you mean is Ning Guoyuan dead?" Liu Qingyu asked excitedly.
When Zhang Xiaolin heard this, he said angrily, "Evil thief, are you looking for death?"
Liu Qingyu confirmed it even more that it was the fact, and joy appeared on his face. Seeing everyone's angry look, he hurriedly put away his smile. When the short gun was there, he still had some support. At this moment, the short gun was sucked on the ground, and he seemed to be a tiger with teeth drawn, and he no longer had the power of the tiger.
Everyone feels that their breathing is getting heavier and heavier. If this continues, it won’t take long to die here.
Xu Fusheng was sweating profusely and regretted the recklessness he should have just been.
Cheng Geng looked at the star map carefully. If this was Zhenzhai Sinan, if this place was really as guessed, if this heart-eating insect was really like the legend, then this place must be a yin house. If it was a yin house, this Sinan would be able to explain.
Cheng Geng tried to grop on the wall where the spoon was located. After exploring for a while, his face showed joy. On this wall, he found hieroglyphs and was overjoyed for a moment.
He groped again and then realized that these were components of hieroglyphs. He was delighted for a moment and shouted loudly, "There are words here."
Everyone approached the wall and realized that this was a messy hieroglyph, a messy and dense character, which seemed to be out of place, and it was very troublesome to fully identify it.
Cheng Geng stretched out his hand and touched the characters, and he understood that only by splicing these characters could he leave here. But it was very complicated to splice separate characters. Perhaps everyone would die here before he had finished splicing them.
Breathing is already very difficult. If Sinan just wants to confuse people, then all hope can only be placed on characters.
Cheng Geng stepped forward and tried to move the characters.
Xu Fusheng came up, and he looked at Cheng Geng's actions and guessed the meaning. The messy characters had no clue and he could not see any clues.
Cheng Geng tried to piece together the hieroglyphs he knew, but he couldn't figure it out and sweat oozed out of his forehead. These seemed to be two words, but they were maliciously disrupted, just like the warehouse lock of Qinfeng Bank.
Cheng Geng's thoughts were beating quickly. He recalled his experience of coming here. The wind chime on the Stalactite Bridge flashed through his mind. He was immediately delighted and hurriedly pieced together on the wall. In a moment, he really pieced together the word "soul" and he immediately smiled.
"Soul" Xu Fusheng thought out. Cheng Geng nodded, and when faced with the remaining characters, he became a little confused.
To be continued...
