Chapter 41: Life and Death
The flare launched by Qin Ge was only a 30mm-caliber police umbrella flare, and the illumination time was only 15 seconds. Soon, the suffocating darkness returned to the cave. Perhaps it was the strong light just now that made the eyes blind.
Their adaptability has changed. After the flare burned out, the flashlights of the three people seemed to be weak.
"I have a battery here!" Qin Ge was confused for a while, and turned off his flashlight first, then lowered his head to replace the battery. When the new battery was put in, it was indeed much brighter than before, but as soon as he raised his head, his heart suddenly thumped.
I saw Zhang Guozhong and Lao Liutou shining their flashlights on themselves, with the dagger pointing further forward than the flashlight.
Hearing that Qin Ge was about to change the battery, Zhang Guozhong shined his flashlight on Qin Ge, hoping to wait for him to turn off the flashlight before lighting it up for him. However, he almost peed his pants with this photo. There was a person standing behind Qin Ge. To be precise, it should be a person.
A mummy! Naked, covered in dry skin.
"Master...Senior...Senior brother..." Zhang Guozhong tugged on Old Liu Tou's clothes and shined two flashlights on him. Old Liu Tou stepped back three or four steps with a groan, and a dagger almost flew out.
"Headmaster Zhang! Mr. Liu!!" Qin Ge subconsciously touched the handle of the pistol, "You... what are you doing!?"
"Master Qin... behind..." Old Liu Tou winked. At this time, Qin Ge only felt that his hair was hanging down on his shoulders.
There was a bang of a gunshot. Qin Ge held a pistol and fired from under his arm. Then he looked back and shone a flashlight...no, nothing. Zhang Guozhong and Lao Liutou kept shining their flashlights.
The moment Qin Ge fired, the black shadow jumped up in the light of the fire and disappeared without a trace.
At this moment, the flashlights of Lao Liu Tou and Zhang Guozhong were getting darker and darker. "What was it just now...?" Qin Ge asked in a trembling voice while taking out the battery.
After replacing the new batteries, the lighting range of the three flashlights instantly increased a lot, but this sudden increase in lighting range brought greater trouble. Just like before, the three people were surrounded by people.
Circle of silhouettes.
"Brother, look for an advantage!" Zhang Guozhong took a dagger and cut his arm. He took out a handful of copper coins from his arms and placed an "Iron Gate Formation" around the three of them. This is a method that uses the Yang Blood Knot to
In fact, this is a method to deceive the evil spirits who are attacking the body. The "Iron Gate Formation" consists of thirty-six copper coins, arranged in the position of the thirty-six Tiangang stars (Taoism believes that the stars of the Big Dipper are
It contains thirty-six Tiangang stars and seventy-two Earthly evil stars. Tiangang is yang and Earthly evil stars are yin. They cannot be observed with the naked eye. However, the arrangement of the thirty-six Tiangangs is drawn in "Maoshan Illustrated Records". This iron
This formation was invented in the Qing Dynasty, but whether it is effective or not, Zhang Guozhong himself has not tried it, because all he has encountered are enemies he has heard of but never seen, and at the moment he can only
What can I have?
I don't know whether the "Iron Gate Formation" really worked, or the other party didn't intend to take action at all. These shadows did not approach slowly as at the beginning, but lingered not far away, looming. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lao
Liu Tou took out his compass and made busy gestures with his fingers.
"Gen three points... fifty steps..." Old Liu Tou muttered, "Found it! This way!" Old Liu Tou pointed with his finger in the direction of the stone platform Qin Ge saw just now.
Following Lao Liutou's direction, Qin Ge fired another flare with a whoosh, "Quick!" Lao Liutou shouted. Taking advantage of these ten seconds, the three of them ran towards the stone platform.
He was running, but he actually didn't dare to run too fast. After all, setting a trap in this place made sense and made sense. When he was about ten meters away from the stone platform, the flare went out again.
"Mr. Qin! One more!" When Zhang Guozhong turned around, all his hair stood up immediately. He saw a mummy standing on the spot with a flashlight, with dry skin on his face and naked body.
"Ah!" Zhang Guozhong almost threw the flashlight.
"What's wrong?" Old Liu Tou was holding a compass to confirm the position. When he heard the shouting, he turned around and found Zhang Guozhong taking random photos with a flashlight. "What's wrong? Huh? Where is Mr. Qin?" Old Liu Tou didn't care.
He looked at the compass and drew out his dagger.
"Let's go... Let's go..." Zhang Guozhong swallowed. It turned out that the moment Old Liu turned his head, Qin Ge, the mummy just now, suddenly disappeared with a whoosh.
"Where is the living talisman?" Old Liu Tou suddenly thought, didn't there be a living talisman behind the three people?
"Then it's a damn magic technique, 80% of the time... the living talisman doesn't work..." Zhang Guozhong said, Zhenren Ma had told him that there are roughly three types of magic techniques: "Evil Ghosts Subjugation", "Animal Subjugation" and "Evil Evil Subjugation"
"Drop", the living talisman is only effective for the first two types. The descending spells cast on Zhao Le's tomb were the low-cost "evil ghosts descending" and "animals descending", so the living talisman is effective, and at this time the treasure cave is very
It may be the high-cost "evil evil subjugation", which is a subjugation technique with evil objects or evil objects as the core of its power.
"Damn it, it turns out that this thing was invented in the later Jin Dynasty...! Who is this Zhao Sange...?" Zhang Guozhong said fiercely, "Senior brother..., set up the formation..."
"Bu...what formation?" Old Liu also had his head covered.
"Shi Gen Formation... use that poisonous jade to break the situation..." Now it is very unlikely to save Qin Ge directly, so we can only find a way to break the situation first, so that Qin Ge's things will not be attacked.
It is self-defeating, but it has not yet been determined whether the plan of using "Shigen Formation" to deal with "Chilong Formation" is effective, and it is even more unreasonable for this defeat, and the effect of "Shigen Formation" requires a stick of incense.
In addition to the group of dark figures, the enemy now has Qin Ge. Can these comrades be idle during the time of this stick of incense?
The closer we get to the stone platform, the greater the rotation of the compass. When we are about ten meters away from the stone steps, the compass simply starts to rotate 360 degrees.
"Loyal to the country..." Old Liu sweated, "What the hell is on this stand...? Luo... the compass is not working..." In the wilderness, the six tombs can be determined by the stars, but if there are no stars,
It is necessary to use the compass. At this moment, the compass is out of order, the position of Su Qi cannot be determined, and the formation cannot be set up.
"This thing is smarter than we thought..." Zhang Guozhong suddenly remembered the severed hand on the archway, "This is not an evil ghost, this thing knows how to cut off hands!" Zhang Guozhong said to himself, and Old Liu Tou didn't understand what he was talking about at all.
What.
"Senior brother, give me the Five Heart Talisman!"
"Guozhong...you...what are you going to...do!?" Old Liu Tou knew Zhang Guozhong's problem and was prone to impulsiveness. Wouldn't he want to think of something and die together again this time?
"The power of this thing is obviously concentrated on you and me now. Only by being patient can the guy in our hands survive until now, but this is not a long-term solution. I will attract his attention. After the compass returns to normal, you can
Call me!"
"No...!" Lao Liu was also anxious. Although he didn't know what Zhang Guozhong wanted to do, if he focused the attention of the evil beings on him, the risk would be about the same as dying together.
"Senior brother, if this continues, none of us can get out..." Zhang Guozhong lowered his head, "Senior brother, I am blessed with great fortune...Give me the Five Heart Talisman..." Old Liu Tou had no choice but to remove the remaining five living talismans.
He put it into Zhang Guozhong's waist, and handed the Five Heart Talisman to Zhang Guozhong with trembling hands, "Guozhong, you have to be careful..."
Zhang Guozhong walked to the farthest point where he could illuminate Old Liu's head with his flashlight. He first used copper coins to place a small seven-passage barrier around his body. He sat cross-legged in the middle of the seven-passage barrier and tapped the seven meridians with a dagger to exercise his mental skills.
I feel like hot currents are flowing into the seven meridians.
Old Liu stared at the compass and saw that the pointer was moving less and less.
Having almost mastered his luck, Zhang Guozhong pulled out the dagger, wrapped the life talisman around the dagger blade, bit the tip of his tongue and sprayed a mouthful of yang blood on the life talisman. He raised the dagger with one hand and let out a loud roar.
The copper coins from the seventh level flew out in all directions. The talisman on the dagger shattered into pieces of paper with a "stab" sound. This formation was created by Zhang Guozhong, who named it "Yang Fury Formation"
"The principle is to use the principle of "Yang Soul Method" to release the maximum yang energy in the body, use Xiaoqiguan to gather these yang energy to form an aura to avoid dispersion, and then use the evil spirit of the sword to break the yang energy around the body.
, at the moment when the aura breaks down, the strength of Yang Qi is no less than that of Borrowing Yang. Although it is only a momentary burst, it is enough to attract the attention of all the evil spirits around, and can even have the effect of knocking mountains and shaking tigers. Although the principle of this formation
Just like Zhuge Liang's "Empty City Strategy", it is purely a bluff and has basically no substantial offensive power. If it is not done well, it will cause trouble. However, as the first self-created formation, Zhang Guozhong still talks about it very much.
The moment Zhang Guozhong yelled, Old Liu Tou heard only a bang, which was a bit like a "sky breaking" sound, but the loudness was at most equivalent to a bicycle tire blowing out. It was at this moment that the compass needle suddenly returned to normal.
He said, "Guozhong!! Hold on!!" Old Liu Tou began to determine the "Suqiao position" as quickly as possible.
At this moment, Zhang Guozhong's consciousness was somewhat blurred due to the excessive consumption of Qi in his body and the loss of a large amount of blood. In his daze, he found a strand of dry hair hanging on his shoulder.
"Fuck you..." Zhang Guozhong struck back with a dagger, and there was a scraping sound. A piece of human skin was cut in half by the dragon scale dagger and fell to the ground with a clatter. At this time, Zhang Guozhong braced himself and looked around.
"Damn it, why are there so many..."
"Found it!" Lao Liutou inserted the Zhantie on the ground, quickly set up a "Shigen Formation", took out the peach wood box containing the poisonous jade, placed it on the center of the formation, and lit three incense sticks.
"Guozhong! Come back!" Old Liu Tou picked up the dagger and felt something was wrong. "Guozhong! Guozhong!?"
Turning on the flashlight, Old Liu took a few cautious steps towards the direction of Zhang Guozhong's flashlight. He saw a shriveled corpse standing in front of Zhang Guozhong, holding a bright butcher's knife in his hand. Zhang Guozhong was already in shock due to massive blood loss.
.
"Master Qin!!??" Old Liu Tou couldn't believe his eyes. Although he didn't recognize the person, he recognized the butcher's knife.
Qin Ge raised his butcher's knife and aimed at Zhang Guozhong's neck.
"Guozhong!! I will kill your mother if you are named Qin!!!" Old Liu Tou screamed, not caring about the danger, and strode over.
