Chapter 18 Chapter Seventeen

There are really countless organs in the ancient tomb, which is unpredictable.The ancestors will encounter one or another horrible experience in the tomb robbery, but there are very few people who actually encounter fraudulent corpses, and the victims are often killed by institutions.These organs or traps, or arrows, or nail boards, if you are not careful, you will lose your life, and it is difficult to return to the world. Speaking of which, after Zhang Lei, Huo Gang, and Ding Meng opened the mechanism on the ground, there were several screams from the mechanism. After the screams came, everyone was chilling.I looked back and saw nothing in the distance.I asked my fourth uncle, "What's going on?"

The fourth uncle said, "They have encountered an agency again." I was shocked, how could it be, isn't it the "Jing" gate?Since it is not the "Du" door, why is there an agency?The fourth uncle said: "I can't figure it out either. This place is obviously not the 'Du' gate. Why is there a deadly mechanism? Could it be that what I learned is wrong?" Thinking of the misfortune of the three people, it is even more difficult to collect the corpses.Looking at Liu Ge at this time, his expression seemed to be much calmer, and I said, "Why don't you cry this time?"

Liu Ge said: "I'm numb from fright. Fourth Uncle, do you think we can go out?" The fourth uncle said: "I'm afraid it's hanging. You children shouldn't come to this kind of place. I knew at the beginning that it would be impossible to drive you away. I have always tried my best to protect your safety, but I actually miscalculated the location. " I comforted my fourth uncle and said, "Fourth uncle, it's not your fault. Without you, everyone would be dead." The fourth uncle said: "Now there is still a 'Du' gate, and there should be a key in the corresponding position, but I don't know what the 'Du' gate is."

Liu Ge said, "I'll go and have a look." The fourth uncle seemed to know the relationship between Liu Ge and me. He looked at Liu Ge, shook his head, and said, "You stand here, this time I will go in person." How could I let my fourth uncle take risks again? Before my fourth uncle could finish speaking, I walked towards the left front corner of the tomb.Hearing the fourth uncle shouting back from behind, I turned around and let Liu Ge hold the fourth uncle. On the same level as I found the key to the "View" door, I found the hollow brick.Then I opened the brick with a dagger, and there was a yellow box inside.I took the box to my fourth uncle, who looked at it and said, "Now our fate depends on the sky. If the last gate is the 'Du' gate, I hope this gate is the 'Jing' gate."

After understanding what Uncle Fourth meant, I opened the box, took out the clumsy key with copper green, and inserted it into the keyhole.I looked at Liu Ge, then at Fourth Uncle and Fifth Uncle, they were all looking at me.I was very nervous, and at this moment, my fourth uncle said: "Yishui, after you turn the key, immediately run to the side of the tomb door." I understood what my fourth uncle meant, and nodded to my fourth uncle.After my feet were ready to open the bow, I turned the key to the right with my right hand, and then I immediately ran to the door of the tomb.I only heard the rattling sound of the mechanism starting from the wall on the right.

I turned around and looked. Although the main door of the tomb was not open, there was still a door on the right wall of the tomb. I let out a sigh of relief, and it seemed that everything was hopeful. Liu Ge supported the fourth uncle, and I supported the fifth uncle, and we all came to another tomb chamber crookedly.Before leaving, my fourth uncle asked me to pull out the key. Although I don't know what the key is for, but now that my uncle said to take it away, it might be useful, and maybe this key can be inserted into the main tomb. .It's just that I haven't seen the situation where one key opens two locks.

At this time, after several battles, the searchlights in the hands of Fourth Uncle and Fifth Uncle have been destroyed, and only my searchlight and Liu Ge's flashlight can still illuminate.The fourth uncle asked Liu Ge to turn off the flashlight as a backup. The structure of this tomb is no different from the previous one.It's just that there is only a few tables inside. This table is tall and heavy, and it is located on the right side of the fan-shaped tomb against the wall.I shone a searchlight on some of the cases, and saw that there was a box on top of the cases that was the same as the key stored in the previous tomb.

Uncle Wu said: "Fourth brother, do you think this box is the same as the box in the last tomb?" The fourth uncle nodded and said: "There is only one key to this house, which should be the key to leave the tomb. The location of these cases is the 'Jing' door, I hope it will surprise us." I said: "Then I'll take it down, everyone, see where there is an exit, you can start the key." Everyone nodded, agreed, and told me to be careful. According to the experience of taking the box and opening the key last time, keep away from the place where the box is stored immediately after taking it, so as to prevent the mechanism from starting and hurting yourself.Although I lost a lot of blood and lost strength for a while, now my body has gradually adapted to it and gradually gained the ability to move, but I still feel swaying when I walk.After I stepped on the case, I quickly jumped off the case and turned around, only to see a raised stone brick on the case.

This stone brick makes people feel that it should be a keyhole at first.I looked at Fourth Uncle, waiting for him to make up his mind, but this time he hesitated.The fourth uncle said: "This time, I can't guarantee whether this is the keyhole for the exit, because every step of the architectural structure here is not in line with common sense. It is said that this place should be arranged according to the layout of Yin-Yang and Five Elements, but there is another gossip on the periphery. And it’s still yin gossip. This kind of yin gossip is only in the tomb except Cao Ren used the eight-door golden lock array in the battle. But this tomb is not completely yin and gossip, so I can’t be sure about the cases. Is the keyhole on the door an exit."

Uncle Wu shook his head: "There is only this keyhole here. It is too difficult to get out, so we have to open this key. We have no choice now." After hearing this, everyone felt that it made sense, so the fourth uncle said: "Yi Shui, then you can go." I nodded, picked up the key and walked inside, at this moment I heard Liu Ge say behind me: "You have to be careful!" I looked back at Liu Ge, and smiled slightly at Liu Ge, at this moment.I saw a red shadow flashing behind Liu Ge, this shadow is extremely weird, I have never seen it before.I said to my fourth uncle, "I see a red shadow behind you."

The fourth uncle seemed to be thinking of something, he asked, "What kind of shadow?" I said, "Only the upper body is red, with a red face." The fourth uncle was startled, and said, "Could it be that one?" I asked, "What?" The fourth uncle said slowly: "Blood corpse." His expression was still terrified. At that moment, the fourth uncle told how he and his fourth aunt found the bloody corpse in the Guishan Han Tomb, and how they were followed, which made everyone shudder.I asked: "Then after opening the key, will you see nothing but blood corpses?" The fourth uncle's face was uncertain, and he said: "It's hard to say. You guessed that the tomb just now is the tomb of the brand 'Mu', so what should this tomb be?" Everyone shook their heads, now only the fourth uncle here understands Yin-Yang and Five Elements.The fourth uncle continued: "This room should be named 'Shui'." Uncle Wu said: "But how can there be a red shadow in the tomb of the name 'Shui'? It's not logical!" The fourth uncle also felt wrong at this time. According to the orientation, the soil is in the middle, and the gold is in the west. The first room to enter should be 'gold', and the second room should be water.But now the first room is 'wooden', but the second room seems to be on fire.What's more, since the room I was in just now is in the southwest, then this room should be in the northwest, which implies the door of "death" and the door of "surprise".The fourth uncle said: "Old man, look at the two tombs here, there is not a single burial object. Could it be that others have moved away?" The fifth uncle said: "No, no one else has visited the tomb here." , since the key to this tomb is in the tomb next door, no one should have entered this tomb." The fourth uncle said: "You are stupid, there must be agencies outside that can come in." Uncle Wu also said: "You are stupid. Although the mechanism outside can be opened, but after entering, the door will automatically close. If you can't find the exit, they will die as well. Do you think there are any corpses here?" I said, "We were stupid. If we hadn't squeezed in together just now and left someone outside, we wouldn't have been trapped inside without anyone to rescue us." The fourth uncle made sense after thinking about it. He nodded and said: "In my opinion, this tomb should be built according to the anti-five elements, and the positions of gold, wood, water and fire are adjusted in reverse, but I have never heard of this kind of burial." Is it because the yin house must be the opposite of the yang house in every way?" Uncle Wu shook his head and said: "No, I think the level of the people who built the tomb is not high, and the theory of yin and yang has not been mastered. Even if the orientation of yin and yang and five elements are opposite to those of yangzhai, there is no way to deliberately use yin and gossip. Upside down? The Yin and Eight Diagrams are suitable for building yin houses, so wouldn't it be bad for Feng Shui if they were upside down?" The fourth uncle smiled and said, "Fifth, I didn't see it, you are quite smart! Such an analysis has even broadened my thinking a lot." Uncle Wu said at this time: "No matter what, we can't escape this calamity. Yishui, you jump over immediately after unlocking the lock. The reaction speed of the ancient tomb organs here is relatively slow. As long as you are faster, it will definitely not hurt you." your turn." I changed my searchlight and Liu Ge's small flashlight, walked to the case, looked around, and made sure there was no red shadow, so I was relieved. I put on the horse again, adjusted my posture, and after turning the switch, I quickly jumped in the direction of the fourth uncle with the strength of a few tables.With good bounce, I jumped three meters away in an instant, followed by a forward roll, and arrived in front of my fourth uncle.Fourth Uncle didn't expect me to be so skilled.But I, who was injured, was also exhausted at this time, and sat on the ground. All this was just a blink of an eye, and then there was a roar from the left wall of the tomb, and the side door leading to the tomb of the "Mu" brand was closed. I saw the original few cases sinking slowly, and the surroundings of the collapsed cases also subsided, forming a circular depression with a radius of about six meters.A black substance slowly flowed out from the edge of the depression, smelling strongly of tar.These tar-smelling substances can't be seen clearly with searchlights at a long distance, and it's impossible to tell what it is. The more this is the case, the more worrying it is, because the way out was not given, but these dark things appeared instead.Everyone is unclear, so, you look at me, and I look at you.The fourth uncle also stopped talking, because he couldn't figure out what kind of dragon gate array was in the tomb.At this time, a few cases appeared on the left side of the collapse, and a box appeared on the stone platform of the several cases. This box seemed to be yellow again.I wondered: "Why did another box appear?" The fourth uncle said: "This box should be the real key to the mechanism. I didn't expect that there would be so many mechanisms here, and they would appear again and again. But it can only go up and down, and it can't do other tricks." Uncle Wu coughed and said, "No matter what, it's important to get the box. Once you get it, the exit should appear." I nodded and walked forward.But as soon as he took two steps, he saw the red shadow flash past again.I hesitated for a moment, and said to Uncle Wu, "Did you see that shadow?" Uncle Wu said: "I saw it, but I don't know what it is. It seems that we should be careful." At this moment, everyone saw the red shadow sitting on the table.This red shadow was no more than 1.4 meters tall, his body was red all over, his face was constantly burning like fire, and his facial features could not be seen very clearly. Let's call him Fire Boy for now.The fourth uncle took out his pistol and wanted to shoot the fire boy, but the fifth uncle said, "Save some bullets, this thing cannot be subdued by gunpowder." Fourth Uncle didn't know that this thing needs some special things to subdue it.But the fourth uncle has a better understanding of Yin-Yang, Five Elements and Feng Shui. To deal with such things that are difficult to explain scientifically, the fourth uncle can't figure out how they are produced. He prefers to use machine guns and explosives, which are convenient and quick. Everyone stared at everything in front of them motionlessly, for fear that Huo Haier would sneak attack us.Finally, the fourth uncle couldn't bear it any longer, and shot Huo Hai'er with a pistol.But after Fourth Uncle pulled the trigger, Huo Haier not only did not disappear, but caused a collapse and caught fire. Everyone was shocked, and only then did they understand why there was a smell of tar underneath. It turned out that all the oil underneath was stored for seven or eight hundred years.Looking at the scene in front of me, the situation couldn't be more obvious. This is not the tomb of the "Shui" brand, but it is obviously the tomb of the "Huo" brand.Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and they all knew that if the fire continued, the oxygen in this closed tomb would be exhausted sooner or later.However, because the tomb is relatively narrow and the space is small, the fire was not very prosperous. Uncle Wu said: "I don't know what name this hall is called?" The fourth uncle shook his head and said, "I don't know, but this is the tomb of the 'Huo' brand for sure." At this time Liu Ge said: "Is this called going into the sea of ​​fire?" A word to wake up the dreamer, isn't this a sea of ​​fire?The fire in front of my eyes floated freely like in the sea, letting it burn.But even knowing it was a sea of ​​fire was of no use.The fourth uncle sighed: "Mongols do not learn the five elements thoroughly after all. They think that gold, wood, water, fire, and earth are real gold, iron, wood, and fire, but they can't understand them flexibly. The gold, wood, water, fire, and earth refer to the properties of matter. Yeah. But even so, the Mongols were able to find another way to create such a weird mechanism, which is hard to guard against." Uncle Wu said: "It seems that what we opened is not the door of 'shock', but the door of death. The directions of the gossip here seem to be opposite. The most important thing right now is to find a way to get out of here. Look, the few cases in the middle The surface of the upper box was burned off, and the inside was a stone. It seems that the designer of the tomb had already prepared to set up a sea of ​​fire here." The fourth uncle said: "I think that stone box is also a mechanism, waiting for us to break it. It is to lure us to die in the fire." Uncle Wu said: "But even if it is a temptation, we have to go! The problem now is how to get it. After a while, the box will definitely be burned red. Even if we can get it, we will not be able to get it off." The fourth uncle sighed and said, "It seems that our family died here today." I looked at Liu Ge, and remembered that I hadn't known each other for a few days, and they died together. It was really bad luck.If Liu Ge hadn't been brought here to visit ghosts earlier, wouldn't there be nothing wrong? I asked my fourth uncle: "Fourth uncle, in the five elements, life and life restrain each other. What is it that restrains fire?" The fourth uncle shook his head and said, "Why are you so stupid? It's fine if you don't know about other phase restraints. Even children know about water restraining fire." Yes, why am I stupid? I think I need some water urgently .But the fourth uncle continued: "The fire in this is oil, don't say there is no water, even if there is water, can you use it to put out the fire?" This sentence immediately poured a basin of cold water on me. Could it be that there is really no way out?At this time, Liu Ge said: "It's not that there are no methods, but they won't be of much use for a while." I asked, "What method?" "Use soil." Liu Ge replied. "The method is correct, but where is the soil?" Uncle Wu said. The fourth uncle said: "That's right, here are all stone bricks. Even if it's not bricks, the ground is extremely hard. Daggers and engineering shovels alone are not enough to get soil to put out the fire." For a while, everyone fell into a stalemate again.I don't know how to put out the fire in front of me.When I was thinking hard, I saw Uncle Wu started to walk towards the fire pit with straight eyes. I called Uncle Wu, but Uncle Wu refused to agree. I looked at Uncle Fourth, who was facing the fire. A shot was fired in the middle, and Uncle Wu fell to the ground immediately. I hurried to help the fifth uncle, only to hear the fifth uncle say: "It's a powerful deception, fortunately the fourth brother saw it through, otherwise I would have to be turned into ashes." Only the fourth uncle asked: "Old five, what did you see?" Uncle Wu said: "I just turned around and saw that you were all gone suddenly, and I was the only one in the tomb. At this time, I saw that there was no fire in the middle of the tomb, but there was an exit. This exit The sewer leading to the outside of the tomb passage, I saw an exit, although I was skeptical, but I walked through it unconsciously." The fourth uncle said: "This place is the same as Guishan Han Tomb. Sometimes the more real it is, the more trapped it is, and the more ethereal it is, the more likely it is real. What you see is too real, and it may often be an illusion. It is not suitable to stay here for a long time, I think the key is to subdue that fire boy." Uncle Wu said: "In your opinion, is that fire boy a blood corpse?" The fourth uncle said: "No, I think it seems to be used as a fuse for this sea of ​​fire. Without the fuse, although the oil can be ignited, it has no attachments and cannot last for a long time. I think it directly attacks the red boy on the case." most useful." I looked at the fire pit in front of me. The average radius of the fire pit was about three meters, and the nearest point was about two and a half meters away from the desk. It was really difficult to attack Honghaier directly.Hugh said it was so far away, even if they were face to face, they might not be able to resist Huo Hai'er.But if you don’t try, there is no hope at all. I said, “Why don’t I go.” Uncle Wu said: "You don't have much strength anymore, you are not suitable, let me go." When Uncle Wu and I were fighting back and forth, Liu Ge said, "You two are injured, so let me go! I have practiced Sanda and long jump since I was a child, and this is not a problem for me." The fourth uncle looked at me, I nodded, and the fourth uncle said: "Alright, since you have the ability, I will trouble you. Fifth, lock the corpse on your body to her and let her use it as a whip. Shui, give Liu Ge the dagger on your body, that dagger has a history of hundreds of years, has been stained with a lot of blood, and has a very fierce spirit on it, I hope it can shock the fire boy in front of you." After Liu Ge took over the corpse lock and my dagger, she held the dagger in her mouth, held the head of the corpse lock with her right hand, and the tail of the corpse lock with her left hand, and walked towards the fire pit.After Liu Ge left, everyone stood up and prepared to meet Liu Ge to prevent Liu Ge from encountering any accidents. It is said that the narrow tomb room was completely occupied by the fire, and it was really unbearably hot. At this time, everyone took off the thick clothes under their coats.Liu Ge was standing on the bank of the fire pit closest to the desk and was about to jump to the desk when the fourth uncle said, "Little girl, don't look into that fire boy's eyes." Liu Ge nodded, she stepped back ten steps, and made a long-distance sprint to take off.I saw Liu Ge swinging his arms and accelerating his legs faster than ordinary people.On the shore of the fire, Liu Ge jumped to the table with his left foot on the ground, and at the same time swung the body lock with his right arm to hit the fire boy on the table.I saw the red boy and Liu Ge fighting over several cases.Huo Hai'er's body was red, but at the same time it was burning like fire, and the light of the fire illuminated Liu Ge's whole body.Standing below, I feel that Liu Ge will be set on fire at any moment. That fire boy is relatively strong, but it seems that Liu Ge is not at a disadvantage at all, and the fourth uncle did not expect that the two of them would be in a stalemate for so long.At this moment, I saw Liu Ge's clothes getting up, and I thought it was broken, the temperature there was too high.So I picked up the engineering shovel and jumped over to the desk. The desk was already small, and there was not enough space for two people to stand on it. How could it accommodate me. I fell into the flames all at once.Seeing me falling into the sea of ​​flames, Liu Ge became anxious and jumped into the sea of ​​flames.By this time we were all on fire.I saw that since it was lit, I simply went up and took the box down.So I let Liu Ge go ashore first, and then I ran to the table and smashed Honghaier with my engineering shovel.But the engineer shovel did little damage to Huohaier. I reluctantly attacked Huohaier again. After Huohaier took a step back, I took advantage of the opportunity to shovel the box off the table, and threw the stone box to the fire bank with the shovel. Some people say that the more difficult it is, the more we have to endure, the more we have to carry, the hope is that we have to strive for even the slightest.In other words, I shoveled down the stone box with an engineer shovel and threw it to the shore of fire, and ran back to the shore immediately.Uncle Fourth and Uncle Fifth immediately covered me with clothes, and I rolled over on the spot, and the fire on my body was extinguished soon.But even though he was not in the fire for a long time, he still felt very painful in his ankle. Under the reflection of the fire, his ankle was extremely red and swollen, as if he had been roasted.Fourth Uncle asked me to stick to the wall, saying that this would reduce the swelling. Since I threw the stone box to the shore, Huo Hai'er immediately chased after him from the case.I saw the fire boy walking freely in the fire pit without any symptoms of discomfort.Seeing Huo Haier chasing after him, Fourth Uncle immediately stood up with Fifth Uncle and walked towards Huo Haier. At this time, Liu Ge was like me, his clothes had been burned to tatters.She lay on the cold ground, looking at me.I remembered the scene of being beaten when I confessed to her, and I never imagined that I would end up here with me through the ordeal.Although Liu Ge sometimes has a strong eldest lady temper, but at critical times, he can still take care of the overall situation. At this moment, I felt that my breathing was gradually not as smooth as before, and I felt that I had no strength.I wonder if this is getting closer and closer to death.I looked at Liu Ge, and found that Liu Ge was also short of breath, so I said, "It seems I'm dying, I have to take a step first." Before I finished speaking, I saw tears streaming from the corners of Liu Ge's eyes. Fourth Uncle and Fifth Uncle, one holding an engineering shovel and the other holding a body lock, stood on the bank of the fire and stood in a stalemate with the fire boy.I saw that Uncle Fourth and Uncle Fifth were also short of breath. I wonder if everyone will die here this time? At this moment, there was a "boom" in the tomb, and then the fire went out.In the room, only Huohai'er was faintly red all over.I hurriedly turned on the flashlight that had been off, and Liu Ge also turned on the searchlight, and the room was lit up again.Liu Ge asked, "How did the fire go out?" The fourth uncle said: "There is not enough oxygen in the tomb, so it was extinguished." I thought that since there was not much oxygen, it seemed that it would be difficult for us to live longer.Just when I thought to myself that my life was over, I saw the fourth uncle who was wrestling with Huo Hai'er break up Huo Hai'er's body with a shovel, and fell to the ground, turning into ashes. I was surprised in my heart, I didn't expect that Huo Hai'er, who was fighting hard just now, was beaten to pieces by the fourth uncle's powerless shovel, and his figure disappeared.Everyone was also very surprised, they didn't expect such a thing to happen, and immediately, everyone felt the hope of surviving. The fourth uncle took the key with a swaying body, and came to the fire pit where the fire had already been extinguished.With the power of the shovel, I jumped onto the case and found a keyhole in the storage box of the case.The fourth uncle turned the switch, and saw another side door appeared in the tomb on the right. The fourth uncle said: "This fire boy exists for this tomb. Now that there is no fire, he has no weapon to kill. This is like the ancient soldiers. The shield is there, and the shield is dead." Although the fourth uncle The explanation is a bit far-fetched, but sometimes, a phenomenon cannot be explained from its generation to its extinction.If you have to try to explain everything, then living is too tiring, and living is meaningless.It's just that I think the ancient tomb builders were stupid, didn't they know that a closed space cannot catch fire? In order to learn the lesson from last time, the fourth uncle decided to leave a person in this tomb to prevent another accident and make him unable to escape.The fourth uncle looked at the injuries of Liu Ge and me, with a very sad expression on his face. Unexpectedly, he who was the most injured just now is now the lightest one. Fourth Uncle asked Liu Ge and me to stay in the "Huo" tomb, and he and Fifth Uncle went to the next tomb.
