Chapter 114: Desert Sky Fire 12
Jingle Bell--
jingle……
jingle - jingle -
Wan Teng Lin Mu felt unbearable pain in his abdomen, and fell to the ground suddenly, and his consciousness was briefly unconscious for a moment, which lasted only a second or two at most.
In the ear is the sound of wind chimes, jingle bells, although clear, but mixed with faint echoes, echoing round and round, like a bell for driving corpses.
According to legend, there are corpse exorcisers in the rivers and lakes who specialize in "carrying" the corpses that died in foreign lands back to their hometowns, that is, stringing the corpses into strings and ringing bells in their hands to drive away the corpses.
"Mumu!"
"Mumu!"
Luo Shen's anxious voice sounded, and he rushed over with one step, and picked up Wanqi Linshu from the cold ground.
Wan Teng Lin Mu's forehead was covered with cold sweat, clutching his abdomen, his consciousness slowly returned, and finally opened his eyes.
However, Yuan Feiming was no longer visible at this time.
Yuan Feiming kicked Wanqi Linmu's body, taking advantage of everyone's astonishment, he plunged directly into the depths of the tomb passage.
Yuan Feiming seemed to be "in a trance", his eyes were loose, and he was shouting something, but no one could hear it clearly, and no one could understand it.
Jiuyou wanted to stop him, but he didn't succeed. At this time, everyone remembered that Yuan Feiming was not as "Bambi" as he appeared on the surface, and that his fragile and thin image had always given Yuan Feiming a layer of "" Camouflage" shell.
So much so that everyone has forgotten that Yuan Feiming is actually the grand master who is currently the head of the Mo School, and was once the head of the Mo School.
The Mo School has been developing until now, and has experienced many ups and downs, but it has never declined, and has been constantly developing and growing. As the former head, Yuan Feiming is also a powerful practitioner.
Yuan Feiming's reaction speed was extremely fast, especially when his potential and five senses were stimulated, Jiuyou didn't catch him, Yuan Feiming bypassed Jiuyou, and quickly plunged into the darkness.
Luo Shen has no time to take care of other people at this time, even if the sky is falling.
Luo Shen supported Wanqi Linmu and said, "Mumu, how is it?"
Wuqi quickly came over to check Wanqi Linmu, but he still didn't see anything, and said, "It shouldn't be a big deal."
"The blood moth is coming!"
The blood moths behind were already chasing closely. When they stopped like this, the blood silkworms squirmed slowly, but the blood moths and blood-eyed rice dumplings had already rushed forward quickly, shortening the distance from them.
"Pushing—"
Wuqi threw out a few silver needles, which happened to tie the wings of those blood moths, and nailed them to the wall of the tomb with a few sounds.
But there were too many blood moths, how could they finish nailing them all, Wu Qi immediately said: "Go, it's too late."
As he spoke, he carried the weak Mr. Bai on his back again. Mr. Bai was bitten by a blood silkworm just now, and lost too much blood. He couldn't run at all, so he had to be carried by Wuqi.
Luo Shen supported Wanqi Linmu: "Can I go?"
Wan Teng Lin Mu was "lightly" kicked by Yuan Feiming just now, and the pain was so great that he almost passed half his life, but after a moment of relief, he felt that the pain was not so painful, and the pain gradually disappeared, turning into Ruo A hidden illusion.
Wan Teng Lin Mu said concisely: "Let's go!"
Everyone ran forward quickly, the blood moth fluttered its wings and chased after it, and the bells in the tomb passage were still ringing endlessly, like a chatterbox.
There is only one path in the tomb, and it goes straight forward. Everyone rushed forward, Da Jin said: "This is not the way, those zongzi and monsters have been chasing them."
Because they are controlled by the blood eye Gu, they don't seem to know how to get tired at all, but everyone is alive, if they keep running like this, there is no way, but the blood eye Gu can't fight recklessly.
"There's a tomb up ahead!"
Wan Teng Lin Mu suddenly yelled.
The cold light of the flashlight kept bumping along with the running of the crowd, and the spots of light trembled and swayed in the dark tomb passage. There were no murals on the tomb passage at all, nothing at all. It was simple, but it was polished extremely carefully. The building was tall and majestic. There are countless exquisite wind chimes hanging on both sides of the top.
The light spots swayed in along the dark tomb passage, and everyone slowly saw clearly the tomb chamber that Wan Tenglinmu said.
There is always only one road in the tomb passage, and there is an open double tomb door at the entrance of the tomb passage, and the tomb chamber is in front of it.
Because there is no fork in the road, Yuan Feiming must have also entered this tomb.
Wan Teng Lin Mu said: "Run, go in and close the door of the tomb!"
The crowd rushed forward quickly, plunged into the tomb room in one breath, and hurriedly pushed the tomb door without having time to look around. Qi and Jiuyou were in charge of breaking the queen, preventing those blood-eyed zongzi and monsters from following into the tomb.
boom--
Boom! ! !
With a huge bang, the tomb door moved, and it turned out to be much easier to push than Wanqi Linmu imagined. The tomb door is a concave track, and the bottom of the tomb door is actually equipped with a wheel. This design is convenient for opening and closing the tomb door , naturally very easy to push, and quite labor-saving.
boom! !
bang——
The left and right tomb doors were closed with a bang, and the zongzi and monsters were all kept outside, and they heard the sound of "crackling" and "squeaking" in the tomb.
The blood-eyed zongzi rushed towards the tomb door one after another, seeming to know that they were behind the tomb door, and kept roaring "cackling" as they charged at the tomb door. It can be said that he has been brave and fearless.
There were constant knocking sounds coming from behind the tomb door. Wan Teng Linmu saw that the tomb door still had a latch, so he quickly tried his best to close the stone latch.
With such a "bang bang bang" sound at the tomb door, no matter how those zongzi collide, it is impossible to rush in.
Wan Teng Lin Mu dropped the latch, heaved a sigh of relief, and said, "My God, it's like stabbing a hornet's nest."
"Mumu, are you alright?" Luo Shen hurried over to check Wancheng Linmu.
Wan Teng Linmu shook his head, he reached out and touched his abdomen, as if he didn't feel anything anymore, the pain was completely dispelled just now.
The others also breathed a sigh of relief, and only then did they have time to look around.
In the pitch-black tomb, without any lights, everyone turned on their lights to illuminate the surroundings.
"Ho-"
Da Jin was caught off guard and was taken aback.
There was something beside him, only two steps away, Da Jin held up the flashlight, and slowly turned around, the cold light spot instantly shone on that thing, making Da Jin gasp in fright.
"human face?!"
A human face!
Jin Lu stepped over and stood in front of Da Jin, and everyone hurriedly gathered their flashlights and hit the man's face with all of them.
It turned out to be a sculpture.
Wan Teng Lin Mu had no sense of fear, and said, "It's a sculpture."
A statue of a human face poked its head down from mid-air, like a giant looking down at them. Because the distance was so close, Da Jin was not prepared and was startled.
The most important thing is that this sculpture of a human face is extremely huge, and there is only a pair of staring eyes on the entire face, and nothing else, which looks very weird.
"There are also here." Wuqi said while taking photos with a flashlight.
It turned out that there was not just one face, but many more. They counted them, and there were five faces in total.
The five face statues are evenly distributed in the tomb, forming a circle, and each face looks different.
Some have only eyes, some have only mouths, and even two face statues have no eyes, only eyebrows, which look even weirder.
"Glaring eyes...?" Wan Teng Linmu had no sense of fear at all, and carefully looked at the statues with a flashlight, and said, "Look, this statue is staring, does it look like what Yuan Feiming said when he was talking nonsense?"
Stare, grin, raise eyebrows...
When Yuan Feiming was insane, he often chanted these words, chanting back and forth, could it be...
Luo Shen said with certainty: "This is what I'm talking about."
Yuan Feiming has been here before, the first time he went to the Heavenly Fire Tomb, and he has a deep memory of this place.
Not only that, just now Yuan Feiming has been running to the depths of the tomb passage, and there is no fork in the tomb passage, that is to say, Yuan Feiming must pass through here.
But there is no Yuan Feiming in this tomb.
The strangest thing is that the tomb turned out to be a dead end.
There is only one door in the tomb, which is behind them, the door blocked by the blood-eyed zongzi, and there is a sound of "dong dong dong" coming from behind. .
There is no other door in the tomb, and there is only one path in the tomb, Yuan Feiming must pass through here, but now, the tomb is a dead end, and Yuan Feiming suddenly disappeared.
Luo Shen narrowed his eyes and said, "There must be a secret door in this tomb."
As he spoke, he looked around and said, "Everyone, take a rest where you are. Senior and I will find the secret door."
I don't know if there is any mechanism in the tomb. Both Luo Shen and Wu Qi are good at tricks, so it is best to find the secret door. Others rest in place and avoid touching any mechanism.
Everyone sat down to rest, Mr. Bai could hardly sit still, he lost strength due to excessive blood loss, although he was carried by Wuqi all the time, he was very weak, his forehead was covered with sweat, so he simply lay down.
Seeing that Mr. Bai was so weak, Wan Teng Lin Mu was a little worried, so he took a dagger, cut open his palm, took some blood, let Mr. Bai drink it, and said, "Is it better?"
Mr. Bai said weakly: "Don't...take blood anymore, I can't die for the time being."
Mr. Bai was very weak, but he looked very stubborn. Wan Teng Lin Mu said indifferently: "I am the blood of the Phoenix, and I will heal soon anyway..."
As he spoke, he looked down, looked at his palm in a strange way, and forgot to say the following words.
heal?
Wan Teng Lin Mu is the blood of the Phoenix. Phoenix blood has a strong regenerative ability, and the wound heals very quickly. Wan Teng Lin Mu has used his own blood several times before.
but now……
He looked at his palm strangely: "Why hasn't the wound healed?"
In order to save Mr. Bai, Wan Teng Lin Mu cut open his palm to take the blood of the Phoenix. He was chased by the blood-eyed zongzi all the way just now, so he didn't pay attention. He didn't expect that the wound didn't heal, and he left a bright red scar on his palm.
When the forest tree moved a little, the scar split and blood oozes slightly.
He opened the other palm, and there was a freshly cut wound in the palm, which was also bright red and showed no signs of quick healing.
"It's so strange..." Wan Teng Lin Mu muttered.
Mr. Bai also found out that something was wrong with Wan Teng Linmu, so he quickly grabbed his hand. It really was a child control, and he was so weak that he said worriedly, "Why didn't he heal? There is still a little inflammation, what's going on?"
It's not a big wound, but a small wound, Wan Teng Lin Mu said: "Hey, it's okay, maybe it's the pot of this jade brave that suppressed my spiritual power, so the Phoenix blood is a bit discounted, but you can see that it is also healing , just a little slower."
Mr. Bai's voice successfully lured Luo Shen over. Luo Shen stepped forward with long legs, knelt on the ground on one knee, looked at Wan Teng Lin Mu's palm, and said, "Why didn't it heal? It's an inflammation."
As he said, he quickly opened the backpack, took out the medicine from it, disinfected Wanqi Linmu's palm with medicine, and then wrapped it in thick gauze.
Wan Tenglinmu looked at him in surprise as he wrapped his hands into zongzi, or two zongzi, and said, "Why did you wrap me like this?"
Luo Shen said: "The wound on the palm is easy to tear, wrap it up and avoid touching it."
Wan Teng Lin Mu said, "But..."
Unexpectedly, Luo Shen's attitude was very tough: "No but."
Wan Teng Lin Mu: "..." Luo Xiaosan has grown up.
Luo Shen bandaged his wound, frowned and said, "It seems that we have to get out of the tomb sooner and untie this jade brave."
Wan Teng Lin Mu said, "Have you seen any clues?"
Luo Shen nodded and said, "It's actually very simple. This tomb is built according to the five elements."
"Five elements?"
Luo Shen explained: "The five expressions corresponding to the five elements, staring, grinning, blinking, frowning, and raising eyebrows, these expressions have already indicated the direction of the tomb."
Luo Shen pointed to those expressions one by one and said, "East, South, Middle, West...North."
After bandaging the wound of Wanqi Linmu, he also tied two super obsessive-compulsive bows, and then continued: "I just checked the walls of the tomb with my predecessors. Except for the door behind us, there are a total of five doors in this tomb." secret door."
"Five?" Wanqi Linmu said, "There are so many, which secret door did Yuan Feiming enter?"
Luo Shen said: "If the inscription on the stone tablet we have seen is true, that is to say, the owner of this tomb wants to be reborn, then he will definitely leave a door of life for himself, and the others... are all doors of death."
Wan Teng Lin Mu had a headache, he hated these twists and turns the most.
Luo Shen seemed to know what he was having a headache, and continued: "We have found the agency just now, and it's right here."
Everyone hurried over to have a look, and saw a...
checkerboard.
Huge stone chessboard.
There are five stone chess pieces distributed on the chessboard, and each stone chess piece is as big as a hug, like a stone pier.
And these five stone chess pieces are carved into - eyes, tongue, mouth, nose and ears.
Luo Shen said: "These five chess pieces also correspond to the five elements, the eyes are east, the tongue is south, the mouth is middle, the nose is west, and the ears are north."
Below the stone chessboard are tracks on which chess pieces can be pushed and walked. Around the chessboard, there are also radioactive tracks. There are five tracks in total, extending to five human face statues.
Luo Shen pointed to the chessboard and said, "This is a very simple little game. Roll these five organs along the track to the designated five rows, and the door of life will be opened."
Da Jin scratched the back of his head and said, "It's... that simple?"
Wan Teng Lin Mu also wanted to say, is it that simple?This is a puzzle game given to them by the owner of the tomb, right?
Wu Qi shook his head and said, "Of course it's not that simple."
"The principle is very simple," Luo Shen said again: "But it is not easy to crack the mechanism. The mechanism of the Five Elements Gate and I have all seen it in the classics of the Wuqi clan. It is not a subtle mechanism, but it can be used Tried and tested in the tomb."
Wan Teng Lin Mu said anxiously: "Then why?"
Luo Shen said quietly: "Because this organ gate is called the Concentric Gate."
Concentric door?
I have only heard of concentric knots and concentric locks, but never heard of concentric doors.
Luo Shen explained: "There are five gates in total, and there is only one life gate. If you roll any five-element chess piece to the corresponding position, it will open one of the dead gates, triggering the mechanism to escape death. Only... roll the five chess pieces at the same time. , and reach the position of the five elements at the same time, the door of life will be opened."
Wu Qi said: "The key is in the same time."
Luo Shen said, "Look at the track on the chessboard."
The five outward-extending tracks are all upward slopes. Because of gravity, it is impossible for the chess pieces to roll up the slope by themselves. Someone must push them, and after they are pushed to the corresponding positions, they must be resisted with force.
Luo Shen said lightly: "This door requires five people to work together to open it, and none of these five people can let go."
Wan Tenglin suddenly realized and said: "That is to say, among the seven of us, only two can get out of this door, and the other five will be cannon fodder?"
No wonder it is called the Tongxin Gate. Many tombs have such a mechanism that cannot be opened by a single person. But if it is a gang robbery, who would be the cannon fodder for the top door?
Mr. Bai's face was a little ugly, and he said, "Is there... is there no other way?"
Wu Qi immediately said: "Xiao Bai, don't worry, there is of course a way."
When Mr. Bai heard it, he was not relieved, but rolled his eyes and said, "If you have a way, don't tell me earlier."
Wu Qi had a particularly good attitude and said, "Don't worry, although the concentric gates need to be activated at the same time, we can assemble a mechanism with fishing lines, and use the mechanism to simultaneously activate the concentric gates."
Wan Tenglin almost forgot that Luo Shen and Wu Qi are two craftsmen.
The two quickly got busy, and Da Jin was also from the Wuqi clan. Although he didn't have any superb skills, he still knew how to fight.
Wan Tenglin had nothing to do, and seeing that Mr. Bai had closed his eyes to take a rest, he went to Luo Shen's side, squatted on the ground, and watched him make a small mechanism.
Luo Shen's mechanism is actually very simple. Use a fishing line to hook the chess pieces and connect several statues in series. When the time comes, you only need to pull a fishing line, and the five chess pieces will automatically pull towards the statue.
Wan Teng Lin Mu held his cheeks and said, "Huh?" There were other things on the ground besides the Wuqi clan's silver needles and fishing lines. They looked like gold needles, which were rusty and old.
Wan Teng Lin Mu said: "Is this the first time Yuan Feiming left the tomb?"
Yuan Feiming is a member of the Mo sect, and they use golden needles. Wan Teng Linmu has also seen Yuan Feiming use golden needles before.
The gold needles were scattered beside the statue, and Wan Teng Linmu observed that there were scratches on the statue with thread, indicating that Yuan Feiming had used the same method before.
Luo Shen nodded and said, "The gold needle has rusted, and the scratches on the statue show signs of weathering, at least for a while."
Sure enough, it was the first time Yuan Feiming went to the tomb to stay.
but……
Wan Tenglin touched his chin and said, "Don't you think it's strange? Yuan Feiming has entered this tomb twice. Why is there only one set of scratches on this statue? How did he get in just now? Could it be that the Tongxin Gate was opened just now?" of?"
Luo Shen shook his head and said, "I'll be fine soon."
Mr. Bai took a short nap and squinted for 5 minutes. Wan Teng Lin Mu helped him up and let him stand half leaning on his neck.
Everyone gathered together, Luo Shen rotated the five chess pieces on the chessboard to correspond to the five directions, then pulled the fishing line, and heard the sound of "click—", the fishing line pulled the five chess pieces, and was simultaneously affected. Force, pull it in five directions respectively.
boom--!Boom——! !
Sure enough, there was a secret door on the wall, and the huge secret door made a rumbling sound, as if a wild beast was roaring, and appeared right in front of the tomb.
Luo Shen stuck the mechanism on the statue and said, "Let's go."
Everyone quickly passed through the Shengmen, behind which was a dark hole, and another tomb passage was connected.
If it weren't for the sound of "dong dong dong" from the tomb door on the back, and those blood-eyed rice dumplings were pounding on the tomb door endlessly, Wan Teng Lin Mu would think that they were ghosts hitting the wall, and turned back The original cemetery.
Everyone turned on their lights and went in along the tomb passage. There were no wind chimes on the two walls of the tomb passage. They were bare and nothing.
After walking about fifty steps, the frescoes appeared.
Wan Teng Lin Mu said, "Look, it's Chenghuang."
Chenghuang is a sacred object of Baimin. There are many legends about Chenghuang in Shanhaijing. This is the tomb of Baimin people. It is reasonable for Chenghuang to appear.
Being carried on Wuqi's back, Mr. Bai regained some strength, used a flashlight to illuminate the mural, and said, "It's really Bai Min."
"Why is this man wearing a mask?"
At the beginning of the murals, only Chenghuang appeared, but later many Bai people appeared, all of them are very characteristic. They have long hair and shawls, and they are handsome and tall.
The Baimin people seem to be deeply favored by God. Every Baimin man is handsome and beautiful, just like Mr. Bai and Mr. Hua, and every Baimin woman is beautiful and charming, with a graceful figure.
Although there are many handsome Bai people in the murals, they are all "passers-by" at first glance, because there is no emphasis on brush and ink at all, which looks very formulaic.
only one person.
The lines of this person look very delicate, and the carvings are lifelike, and even every fold of his clothes is as elegant as an exiled fairy.
And this exile was wearing a mask.
The mask is protruding, which gives the mural a distinct layering. The mask is covered with blackness. I don't know what kind of paint was used. Because of the age, the color should have faded.
Luo Shen glanced at it and said, "It's gold pigment, which has oxidized."
It turned out to be a golden mask!
Wan Teng Linmu said: "This person has a high status in the clan. Could it be that he is the owner of the tomb?"
The man wearing the golden mask couldn't see his face, he was tall and elegant, and the murals were engraved with scenes of him practicing medicine and saving lives.
This man is an outsider, and he wore a golden mask when he came. He came to this branch tribe of the Baimin. There was a plague in the tribe. The man collected medicine himself, treated them, and then the plague was gradually brought under control. down.
The tribe all bowed to the ground in gratitude for the man's favor.
The next painting is the scene where the clansmen in the tribe kneel down to worship the man, and a grand sacrificial activity was also held.
Mr. Bai said: "This is a ceremony to worship the patriarch. It seems that the clansmen here respect this man very much. They are willing to respect an outsider as their patriarch."
Judging from the clothes, the man wearing the golden mask is actually a Baimin. This tribe is also a branch of the Baimin. In fact, their blood should be the same, so the coronation went on smoothly.
Wan Tenglinmu illuminated the mural with a flashlight all the way, and said: "These tribes respect their patriarch very much, and this masked man seems to be a good man. You see, the murals have always been scenes of practicing medicine to save lives."
Da Jin said: "Maybe it's just beautification. If he is a good person, how could he want to catch Zhulong and build a tomb of rebirth?"
The murals stretched forward, and the mural in the middle of the tomb passage was a mural of a man in a mask. The entire mural was protruding, and it was twice the size of a normal person.
The man was surrounded by Chenghuang, holding a stalk of grass in his hand, as if he was picking medicine.
A pair of gentle eyes were exposed from behind the mask. Although the face was completely hidden by the mask, it was not difficult to see that the patriarch should be a gentle and easy-going person.
Everyone glanced at the mural, ready to move on, but didn't take it seriously.
Wan Teng Lin Mu's hands were wrapped into rice dumplings, and it was a bit difficult to hold the flashlight. His hands shook, and one of them didn't pay attention.
The flashlight fell to the ground, bounced, and the cold light spots kept shaking in the dark tomb passage.
Snapped!
With the bounce, the flashlight died heroically and went out suddenly.
Wan Teng Lin Mu was stunned for a moment, not knowing what was going on, and immediately went to pick up the flashlight on the ground, and pressed "Ka Ka Ka" a few times, but the flashlight had been held back and couldn't turn on anyway.
Luo Shen came over and said, "What's wrong?"
Wan Teng Lin Mu didn't speak, and quickly grabbed Luo Shen's flashlight, went to look at the masked man on the mural, and said, "Did you see it just now? His eyes moved."
"What?" Da Jin said, "He's alive?"
Wan Teng Linmu shook the mural with the flashlight, and the light spots dangled back and forth, saying: "Just now, when I dropped the flashlight on the ground, his eyes moved, and I can see clearly."
Luo Shen squinted his eyes, walked forward, shone a flashlight on the eyes behind the mask, and said, "It's the paint. It should be a light-sensitive paint, plus refraction and reflection."
He said, looking at the murals from different angles.
"It really moved!" Wan Tenglin pointed to the mural and said, "That's right, I saw him move just now."
In fact, it's not that the mural is alive, but that the eyes of the mural have been processed. Luo Shen took care of it from an angle. The eyes hidden behind the mask no longer stared at the herbs in his hand, but raised his eyes, obviously looking at the top of the tomb.
not only that……
"Look..." Da Jin said in shock, "Did he cry?"
With the illumination of the flashlight, not only did the eyes change, but also tears flowed from the eye sockets, and the golden mask was also stained with scattered tear stains.
Luo Shen kept the light source still, and the masked man's eyes kept staring upwards, staring at the top of the tomb passage.
Wan Teng Lin Mu raised his head along the way, stared at the top of the tomb, and said, "Is there... is there something on it?"
Luo Shen asked Da Jin to replace him and held up a flashlight to illuminate the murals. Wan Teng Lin Mu took another flashlight, followed the murals' gaze, and projected the spot of the flashlight on the top of the tomb, saying, "This is it."
The ceiling of the tomb was very high. Luo Shen stretched his wrist. He didn't need a ladder or any tools. He took two quick steps, "Tap!" He rushed to the mural and stepped on the bulge of the mural. Jump up.
Snapped! !
With only a crisp sound, Luo Shen jumped up and slammed on the ceiling of the tomb illuminated by the spot of light.
The top of the tomb was actually very thin, "Kacha Kacha—" it suddenly cracked, and as the broken stone slab fell from the top of the head, there was also a floating thing that fell to the ground.
The crowd quickly dispersed to avoid being hit by the gravel. Luo Shen landed steadily, brushed the gravel off his body, and bent down to pick up the things on the ground.
"It's a silk book."
There are silk books hidden in the stone wall on the top of the tomb.
Luo Shen unfolded the silk script, which was densely packed with characters, and immediately handed it to Mr. Bai, saying, "It's written by Bai Min."
Mr. Bai took the silk scroll and said, "This... this is the autobiography of the owner of the tomb."
Many tomb owners can write autobiographies, but autobiographies are usually buried in the coffin, or in the tomb, or among some funerary objects, how can they be placed in the tomb passage?
And it was hidden on the top of the tomb, as if afraid of being discovered by someone.
Mr. Bai began to read the words above, and the masked man was indeed the patriarch of the Baimin tribe. He was an outsider who had come here from a far away place and was originally homeless. The kind-hearted tribe took him in.
Not long after coming to the tribe, a plague broke out in the tribe. The man is good at dispelling yellows. In order to repay the kindness of taking him in, the man stayed in the tribe to treat the tribe.
The plague was very fierce, but because of the man's medical skills, the tribe was saved. The tribe members respected the man very much and wanted to regard him as the patriarch.
The man had nowhere to go, and the kindness and simplicity of the tribe moved him. The man decided to stay and be with these tribesmen.
"After that, he became the patriarch of this Baimin tribe."
The man led the tribe to gather medicine, smelt iron, and farm mulberry. The backward tribe slowly began to grow, but at this time...
Mr. Bai said: "The patriarch's temperament has changed drastically."
The patriarch's gentle and refined personality suddenly changed. He was cruel and would not save him. He even liked to listen to the screams of the living.
The patriarch forced the people to build an altar for him, and raised a huge female snake. The female snake would emit fragrance in the rainy season to attract the candle dragon to mate. The patriarch wanted to use this female snake to catch the candle dragon.
"Using Candle Dragon's blood ointment to make a growing lamp, but it didn't work out."
Wan Teng Lin Mu said: "There are so many people in the world who want to catch Zhulong, how can they succeed?"
Mr. Bai frowned suddenly, and said: "The patriarch didn't succeed, so...he chose to use the blood ointment of the clan as lamp oil, and made it into an ever-burning lamp."
"What?" Wanqi Linmu said, "The blood ointment of the tribe?"
The patriarch changed from a god who saved people to a murderous ghost overnight. The clansmen were afraid of him, but they dared not disobey him, so they could only build a tomb for him.
Wan Teng Linmu said: "So this tomb was built by the patriarch for rebirth?"
Mr. Bai glanced at the silk script quickly, nodded and said, "That's right, it's clearly written on it, that's what happened, because the lives of the Bai people are very short, and the patriarch was also afraid of death, so he built this reborn tomb in advance. He wants to be resurrected through sorcery."
"Sorcery..." Wan Teng Linmu said, "What sorcery?"
Mr. Bai said: "This silk book says that if you get enough blood ointment lamp oil and cooperate with the sky fire, you can be reborn."
Wan Teng Linmu was a little strange: "Then why did the patriarch change his temperament overnight? Did he say it himself?"
Mr. Bai continued to read: "I really said it, because...he has two hearts."
"What? Two hearts?"
Everyone looked at Mr. Bai, as if they wanted Mr. Bai to make sure that they read the silk script correctly.
Mr. Bai said with certainty: "That's right, it has two hearts. This patriarch has two hearts, as if he has a dual personality. One heart is a kind heart that helps the world and saves people, and the other heart is a vicious, selfish heart." ...The patriarch was afraid that one day he would be devoured by his poisonous heart and die completely, so he wrote this silk book and secretly put it on the top of the tomb, hoping that someone could see this silk book..."
Because the patriarch has two hearts, his body will be dominated at some point. The patriarch wanted to commit suicide, but he never succeeded, so...
"After the patriarch placed the silk book, he lay down in the coffin of the tomb, sealed the lid of the coffin, and buried himself alive before the deadline..."
Because the patriarch knew that this coffin was built by Du Xin for rebirth, once it was sealed, it could not be opened, otherwise everything would be in vain, so in doing so, the patriarch actually died with Du Xin.
Wan Teng Lin Mu frowned and said, "What else is written on it?"
Mr. Bai said: "If someone can find this silk scroll and know the cause and effect of the incident, then they must find the main tomb, decipher the sacrifice, and then..."
—kill me.
Mr. Bai added: "The back of the silk book is a map of this tomb."
There is even a map, it seems that the patriarch also took great pains.
Luo Shen took the map and said, "We are here now. There is an altar in front, and behind the altar is the main tomb. This tomb is surprisingly simple."
Wu Qi nodded and said: "After all, it is a tomb built for rebirth. If it is too complicated, after rebirth, maybe he himself will be trapped in it."
Wan Tenglin looked at the map and said, "The path to the tomb goes straight. There is only one road. Yuan Feiming must be ahead. We didn't find the wrong place."
He said, frowning, as if he had thought of something: "Yuan Fei ordered a tomb, as if he had gone mad, what happened? So far, there is nothing too strange. What inspired him?" Amplified his five senses?"
Luo Shen said: "Go forward and you will know. Apart from the altar, there is the main tomb in front. The problem must be in the front."
Everyone didn't dare to stay, took the map and set off immediately, and continued to walk forward.
Just like the one drawn on the map, it didn't take long for the tomb passage to come to an end. Sure enough, there was a bright open space in the darkness, and a huge empty field appeared, with an empty frame.
In the middle of the empty field is a square high platform, the high platform is at least ten meters high, and there are steps on all sides, you can climb the high platform from the steps.
This high platform should be the altar drawn on the map.
White bones were piled up around the altar, and the bones were piled up like a mountain, all turned into white bones, scattered on the ground, surrounding the high platform.
Luo Shen went over to check the bones and said, "They were all killed and thrown here. They should be members of the Baimin clan. There are wounds on their bones."
You can see how deep the wound was.
The scene of the sacrificial sacrifice must have been very tragic, it cannot be expressed by these accumulated bones...
Going around the square altar, and walking a short distance, is the tomb passage, and there is only one tomb passage, leading to the deep darkness.
Wan Teng Linmu said: "According to the map, the main tomb is in front of us. Let's..." Go quickly.
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly saw something, pointed to the top of the altar and said, "Look, isn't there someone there?"
"Someone is standing there!"
A figure stood above the altar.
Because the altar was too high, and the tomb was very dark, everyone didn't notice it just now.
The man stood on the altar, motionless, like a statue.
Wan Teng Lin Mu said: "Yuan Feiming? Is it Yuan Feiming?"
When Wan Teng Linmu said this, everyone else saw it, and they used a flashlight to shine on the altar and shook it vigorously.
Wan Teng Linmu shouted: "Yuan Feiming!! Yuan Feiming, we are here!"
"Yuan Feiming!"
"Yuan Feiming—"
With such a loud voice, Yuan Feiming stood on the altar, as if he had fallen into a trance
jingle……
jingle - jingle -
Wan Teng Lin Mu felt unbearable pain in his abdomen, and fell to the ground suddenly, and his consciousness was briefly unconscious for a moment, which lasted only a second or two at most.
In the ear is the sound of wind chimes, jingle bells, although clear, but mixed with faint echoes, echoing round and round, like a bell for driving corpses.
According to legend, there are corpse exorcisers in the rivers and lakes who specialize in "carrying" the corpses that died in foreign lands back to their hometowns, that is, stringing the corpses into strings and ringing bells in their hands to drive away the corpses.
"Mumu!"
"Mumu!"
Luo Shen's anxious voice sounded, and he rushed over with one step, and picked up Wanqi Linshu from the cold ground.
Wan Teng Lin Mu's forehead was covered with cold sweat, clutching his abdomen, his consciousness slowly returned, and finally opened his eyes.
However, Yuan Feiming was no longer visible at this time.
Yuan Feiming kicked Wanqi Linmu's body, taking advantage of everyone's astonishment, he plunged directly into the depths of the tomb passage.
Yuan Feiming seemed to be "in a trance", his eyes were loose, and he was shouting something, but no one could hear it clearly, and no one could understand it.
Jiuyou wanted to stop him, but he didn't succeed. At this time, everyone remembered that Yuan Feiming was not as "Bambi" as he appeared on the surface, and that his fragile and thin image had always given Yuan Feiming a layer of "" Camouflage" shell.
So much so that everyone has forgotten that Yuan Feiming is actually the grand master who is currently the head of the Mo School, and was once the head of the Mo School.
The Mo School has been developing until now, and has experienced many ups and downs, but it has never declined, and has been constantly developing and growing. As the former head, Yuan Feiming is also a powerful practitioner.
Yuan Feiming's reaction speed was extremely fast, especially when his potential and five senses were stimulated, Jiuyou didn't catch him, Yuan Feiming bypassed Jiuyou, and quickly plunged into the darkness.
Luo Shen has no time to take care of other people at this time, even if the sky is falling.
Luo Shen supported Wanqi Linmu and said, "Mumu, how is it?"
Wuqi quickly came over to check Wanqi Linmu, but he still didn't see anything, and said, "It shouldn't be a big deal."
"The blood moth is coming!"
The blood moths behind were already chasing closely. When they stopped like this, the blood silkworms squirmed slowly, but the blood moths and blood-eyed rice dumplings had already rushed forward quickly, shortening the distance from them.
"Pushing—"
Wuqi threw out a few silver needles, which happened to tie the wings of those blood moths, and nailed them to the wall of the tomb with a few sounds.
But there were too many blood moths, how could they finish nailing them all, Wu Qi immediately said: "Go, it's too late."
As he spoke, he carried the weak Mr. Bai on his back again. Mr. Bai was bitten by a blood silkworm just now, and lost too much blood. He couldn't run at all, so he had to be carried by Wuqi.
Luo Shen supported Wanqi Linmu: "Can I go?"
Wan Teng Lin Mu was "lightly" kicked by Yuan Feiming just now, and the pain was so great that he almost passed half his life, but after a moment of relief, he felt that the pain was not so painful, and the pain gradually disappeared, turning into Ruo A hidden illusion.
Wan Teng Lin Mu said concisely: "Let's go!"
Everyone ran forward quickly, the blood moth fluttered its wings and chased after it, and the bells in the tomb passage were still ringing endlessly, like a chatterbox.
There is only one path in the tomb, and it goes straight forward. Everyone rushed forward, Da Jin said: "This is not the way, those zongzi and monsters have been chasing them."
Because they are controlled by the blood eye Gu, they don't seem to know how to get tired at all, but everyone is alive, if they keep running like this, there is no way, but the blood eye Gu can't fight recklessly.
"There's a tomb up ahead!"
Wan Teng Lin Mu suddenly yelled.
The cold light of the flashlight kept bumping along with the running of the crowd, and the spots of light trembled and swayed in the dark tomb passage. There were no murals on the tomb passage at all, nothing at all. It was simple, but it was polished extremely carefully. The building was tall and majestic. There are countless exquisite wind chimes hanging on both sides of the top.
The light spots swayed in along the dark tomb passage, and everyone slowly saw clearly the tomb chamber that Wan Tenglinmu said.
There is always only one road in the tomb passage, and there is an open double tomb door at the entrance of the tomb passage, and the tomb chamber is in front of it.
Because there is no fork in the road, Yuan Feiming must have also entered this tomb.
Wan Teng Lin Mu said: "Run, go in and close the door of the tomb!"
The crowd rushed forward quickly, plunged into the tomb room in one breath, and hurriedly pushed the tomb door without having time to look around. Qi and Jiuyou were in charge of breaking the queen, preventing those blood-eyed zongzi and monsters from following into the tomb.
boom--
Boom! ! !
With a huge bang, the tomb door moved, and it turned out to be much easier to push than Wanqi Linmu imagined. The tomb door is a concave track, and the bottom of the tomb door is actually equipped with a wheel. This design is convenient for opening and closing the tomb door , naturally very easy to push, and quite labor-saving.
boom! !
bang——
The left and right tomb doors were closed with a bang, and the zongzi and monsters were all kept outside, and they heard the sound of "crackling" and "squeaking" in the tomb.
The blood-eyed zongzi rushed towards the tomb door one after another, seeming to know that they were behind the tomb door, and kept roaring "cackling" as they charged at the tomb door. It can be said that he has been brave and fearless.
There were constant knocking sounds coming from behind the tomb door. Wan Teng Linmu saw that the tomb door still had a latch, so he quickly tried his best to close the stone latch.
With such a "bang bang bang" sound at the tomb door, no matter how those zongzi collide, it is impossible to rush in.
Wan Teng Lin Mu dropped the latch, heaved a sigh of relief, and said, "My God, it's like stabbing a hornet's nest."
"Mumu, are you alright?" Luo Shen hurried over to check Wancheng Linmu.
Wan Teng Linmu shook his head, he reached out and touched his abdomen, as if he didn't feel anything anymore, the pain was completely dispelled just now.
The others also breathed a sigh of relief, and only then did they have time to look around.
In the pitch-black tomb, without any lights, everyone turned on their lights to illuminate the surroundings.
"Ho-"
Da Jin was caught off guard and was taken aback.
There was something beside him, only two steps away, Da Jin held up the flashlight, and slowly turned around, the cold light spot instantly shone on that thing, making Da Jin gasp in fright.
"human face?!"
A human face!
Jin Lu stepped over and stood in front of Da Jin, and everyone hurriedly gathered their flashlights and hit the man's face with all of them.
It turned out to be a sculpture.
Wan Teng Lin Mu had no sense of fear, and said, "It's a sculpture."
A statue of a human face poked its head down from mid-air, like a giant looking down at them. Because the distance was so close, Da Jin was not prepared and was startled.
The most important thing is that this sculpture of a human face is extremely huge, and there is only a pair of staring eyes on the entire face, and nothing else, which looks very weird.
"There are also here." Wuqi said while taking photos with a flashlight.
It turned out that there was not just one face, but many more. They counted them, and there were five faces in total.
The five face statues are evenly distributed in the tomb, forming a circle, and each face looks different.
Some have only eyes, some have only mouths, and even two face statues have no eyes, only eyebrows, which look even weirder.
"Glaring eyes...?" Wan Teng Linmu had no sense of fear at all, and carefully looked at the statues with a flashlight, and said, "Look, this statue is staring, does it look like what Yuan Feiming said when he was talking nonsense?"
Stare, grin, raise eyebrows...
When Yuan Feiming was insane, he often chanted these words, chanting back and forth, could it be...
Luo Shen said with certainty: "This is what I'm talking about."
Yuan Feiming has been here before, the first time he went to the Heavenly Fire Tomb, and he has a deep memory of this place.
Not only that, just now Yuan Feiming has been running to the depths of the tomb passage, and there is no fork in the tomb passage, that is to say, Yuan Feiming must pass through here.
But there is no Yuan Feiming in this tomb.
The strangest thing is that the tomb turned out to be a dead end.
There is only one door in the tomb, which is behind them, the door blocked by the blood-eyed zongzi, and there is a sound of "dong dong dong" coming from behind. .
There is no other door in the tomb, and there is only one path in the tomb, Yuan Feiming must pass through here, but now, the tomb is a dead end, and Yuan Feiming suddenly disappeared.
Luo Shen narrowed his eyes and said, "There must be a secret door in this tomb."
As he spoke, he looked around and said, "Everyone, take a rest where you are. Senior and I will find the secret door."
I don't know if there is any mechanism in the tomb. Both Luo Shen and Wu Qi are good at tricks, so it is best to find the secret door. Others rest in place and avoid touching any mechanism.
Everyone sat down to rest, Mr. Bai could hardly sit still, he lost strength due to excessive blood loss, although he was carried by Wuqi all the time, he was very weak, his forehead was covered with sweat, so he simply lay down.
Seeing that Mr. Bai was so weak, Wan Teng Lin Mu was a little worried, so he took a dagger, cut open his palm, took some blood, let Mr. Bai drink it, and said, "Is it better?"
Mr. Bai said weakly: "Don't...take blood anymore, I can't die for the time being."
Mr. Bai was very weak, but he looked very stubborn. Wan Teng Lin Mu said indifferently: "I am the blood of the Phoenix, and I will heal soon anyway..."
As he spoke, he looked down, looked at his palm in a strange way, and forgot to say the following words.
heal?
Wan Teng Lin Mu is the blood of the Phoenix. Phoenix blood has a strong regenerative ability, and the wound heals very quickly. Wan Teng Lin Mu has used his own blood several times before.
but now……
He looked at his palm strangely: "Why hasn't the wound healed?"
In order to save Mr. Bai, Wan Teng Lin Mu cut open his palm to take the blood of the Phoenix. He was chased by the blood-eyed zongzi all the way just now, so he didn't pay attention. He didn't expect that the wound didn't heal, and he left a bright red scar on his palm.
When the forest tree moved a little, the scar split and blood oozes slightly.
He opened the other palm, and there was a freshly cut wound in the palm, which was also bright red and showed no signs of quick healing.
"It's so strange..." Wan Teng Lin Mu muttered.
Mr. Bai also found out that something was wrong with Wan Teng Linmu, so he quickly grabbed his hand. It really was a child control, and he was so weak that he said worriedly, "Why didn't he heal? There is still a little inflammation, what's going on?"
It's not a big wound, but a small wound, Wan Teng Lin Mu said: "Hey, it's okay, maybe it's the pot of this jade brave that suppressed my spiritual power, so the Phoenix blood is a bit discounted, but you can see that it is also healing , just a little slower."
Mr. Bai's voice successfully lured Luo Shen over. Luo Shen stepped forward with long legs, knelt on the ground on one knee, looked at Wan Teng Lin Mu's palm, and said, "Why didn't it heal? It's an inflammation."
As he said, he quickly opened the backpack, took out the medicine from it, disinfected Wanqi Linmu's palm with medicine, and then wrapped it in thick gauze.
Wan Tenglinmu looked at him in surprise as he wrapped his hands into zongzi, or two zongzi, and said, "Why did you wrap me like this?"
Luo Shen said: "The wound on the palm is easy to tear, wrap it up and avoid touching it."
Wan Teng Lin Mu said, "But..."
Unexpectedly, Luo Shen's attitude was very tough: "No but."
Wan Teng Lin Mu: "..." Luo Xiaosan has grown up.
Luo Shen bandaged his wound, frowned and said, "It seems that we have to get out of the tomb sooner and untie this jade brave."
Wan Teng Lin Mu said, "Have you seen any clues?"
Luo Shen nodded and said, "It's actually very simple. This tomb is built according to the five elements."
"Five elements?"
Luo Shen explained: "The five expressions corresponding to the five elements, staring, grinning, blinking, frowning, and raising eyebrows, these expressions have already indicated the direction of the tomb."
Luo Shen pointed to those expressions one by one and said, "East, South, Middle, West...North."
After bandaging the wound of Wanqi Linmu, he also tied two super obsessive-compulsive bows, and then continued: "I just checked the walls of the tomb with my predecessors. Except for the door behind us, there are a total of five doors in this tomb." secret door."
"Five?" Wanqi Linmu said, "There are so many, which secret door did Yuan Feiming enter?"
Luo Shen said: "If the inscription on the stone tablet we have seen is true, that is to say, the owner of this tomb wants to be reborn, then he will definitely leave a door of life for himself, and the others... are all doors of death."
Wan Teng Lin Mu had a headache, he hated these twists and turns the most.
Luo Shen seemed to know what he was having a headache, and continued: "We have found the agency just now, and it's right here."
Everyone hurried over to have a look, and saw a...
checkerboard.
Huge stone chessboard.
There are five stone chess pieces distributed on the chessboard, and each stone chess piece is as big as a hug, like a stone pier.
And these five stone chess pieces are carved into - eyes, tongue, mouth, nose and ears.
Luo Shen said: "These five chess pieces also correspond to the five elements, the eyes are east, the tongue is south, the mouth is middle, the nose is west, and the ears are north."
Below the stone chessboard are tracks on which chess pieces can be pushed and walked. Around the chessboard, there are also radioactive tracks. There are five tracks in total, extending to five human face statues.
Luo Shen pointed to the chessboard and said, "This is a very simple little game. Roll these five organs along the track to the designated five rows, and the door of life will be opened."
Da Jin scratched the back of his head and said, "It's... that simple?"
Wan Teng Lin Mu also wanted to say, is it that simple?This is a puzzle game given to them by the owner of the tomb, right?
Wu Qi shook his head and said, "Of course it's not that simple."
"The principle is very simple," Luo Shen said again: "But it is not easy to crack the mechanism. The mechanism of the Five Elements Gate and I have all seen it in the classics of the Wuqi clan. It is not a subtle mechanism, but it can be used Tried and tested in the tomb."
Wan Teng Lin Mu said anxiously: "Then why?"
Luo Shen said quietly: "Because this organ gate is called the Concentric Gate."
Concentric door?
I have only heard of concentric knots and concentric locks, but never heard of concentric doors.
Luo Shen explained: "There are five gates in total, and there is only one life gate. If you roll any five-element chess piece to the corresponding position, it will open one of the dead gates, triggering the mechanism to escape death. Only... roll the five chess pieces at the same time. , and reach the position of the five elements at the same time, the door of life will be opened."
Wu Qi said: "The key is in the same time."
Luo Shen said, "Look at the track on the chessboard."
The five outward-extending tracks are all upward slopes. Because of gravity, it is impossible for the chess pieces to roll up the slope by themselves. Someone must push them, and after they are pushed to the corresponding positions, they must be resisted with force.
Luo Shen said lightly: "This door requires five people to work together to open it, and none of these five people can let go."
Wan Tenglin suddenly realized and said: "That is to say, among the seven of us, only two can get out of this door, and the other five will be cannon fodder?"
No wonder it is called the Tongxin Gate. Many tombs have such a mechanism that cannot be opened by a single person. But if it is a gang robbery, who would be the cannon fodder for the top door?
Mr. Bai's face was a little ugly, and he said, "Is there... is there no other way?"
Wu Qi immediately said: "Xiao Bai, don't worry, there is of course a way."
When Mr. Bai heard it, he was not relieved, but rolled his eyes and said, "If you have a way, don't tell me earlier."
Wu Qi had a particularly good attitude and said, "Don't worry, although the concentric gates need to be activated at the same time, we can assemble a mechanism with fishing lines, and use the mechanism to simultaneously activate the concentric gates."
Wan Tenglin almost forgot that Luo Shen and Wu Qi are two craftsmen.
The two quickly got busy, and Da Jin was also from the Wuqi clan. Although he didn't have any superb skills, he still knew how to fight.
Wan Tenglin had nothing to do, and seeing that Mr. Bai had closed his eyes to take a rest, he went to Luo Shen's side, squatted on the ground, and watched him make a small mechanism.
Luo Shen's mechanism is actually very simple. Use a fishing line to hook the chess pieces and connect several statues in series. When the time comes, you only need to pull a fishing line, and the five chess pieces will automatically pull towards the statue.
Wan Teng Lin Mu held his cheeks and said, "Huh?" There were other things on the ground besides the Wuqi clan's silver needles and fishing lines. They looked like gold needles, which were rusty and old.
Wan Teng Lin Mu said: "Is this the first time Yuan Feiming left the tomb?"
Yuan Feiming is a member of the Mo sect, and they use golden needles. Wan Teng Linmu has also seen Yuan Feiming use golden needles before.
The gold needles were scattered beside the statue, and Wan Teng Linmu observed that there were scratches on the statue with thread, indicating that Yuan Feiming had used the same method before.
Luo Shen nodded and said, "The gold needle has rusted, and the scratches on the statue show signs of weathering, at least for a while."
Sure enough, it was the first time Yuan Feiming went to the tomb to stay.
but……
Wan Tenglin touched his chin and said, "Don't you think it's strange? Yuan Feiming has entered this tomb twice. Why is there only one set of scratches on this statue? How did he get in just now? Could it be that the Tongxin Gate was opened just now?" of?"
Luo Shen shook his head and said, "I'll be fine soon."
Mr. Bai took a short nap and squinted for 5 minutes. Wan Teng Lin Mu helped him up and let him stand half leaning on his neck.
Everyone gathered together, Luo Shen rotated the five chess pieces on the chessboard to correspond to the five directions, then pulled the fishing line, and heard the sound of "click—", the fishing line pulled the five chess pieces, and was simultaneously affected. Force, pull it in five directions respectively.
boom--!Boom——! !
Sure enough, there was a secret door on the wall, and the huge secret door made a rumbling sound, as if a wild beast was roaring, and appeared right in front of the tomb.
Luo Shen stuck the mechanism on the statue and said, "Let's go."
Everyone quickly passed through the Shengmen, behind which was a dark hole, and another tomb passage was connected.
If it weren't for the sound of "dong dong dong" from the tomb door on the back, and those blood-eyed rice dumplings were pounding on the tomb door endlessly, Wan Teng Lin Mu would think that they were ghosts hitting the wall, and turned back The original cemetery.
Everyone turned on their lights and went in along the tomb passage. There were no wind chimes on the two walls of the tomb passage. They were bare and nothing.
After walking about fifty steps, the frescoes appeared.
Wan Teng Lin Mu said, "Look, it's Chenghuang."
Chenghuang is a sacred object of Baimin. There are many legends about Chenghuang in Shanhaijing. This is the tomb of Baimin people. It is reasonable for Chenghuang to appear.
Being carried on Wuqi's back, Mr. Bai regained some strength, used a flashlight to illuminate the mural, and said, "It's really Bai Min."
"Why is this man wearing a mask?"
At the beginning of the murals, only Chenghuang appeared, but later many Bai people appeared, all of them are very characteristic. They have long hair and shawls, and they are handsome and tall.
The Baimin people seem to be deeply favored by God. Every Baimin man is handsome and beautiful, just like Mr. Bai and Mr. Hua, and every Baimin woman is beautiful and charming, with a graceful figure.
Although there are many handsome Bai people in the murals, they are all "passers-by" at first glance, because there is no emphasis on brush and ink at all, which looks very formulaic.
only one person.
The lines of this person look very delicate, and the carvings are lifelike, and even every fold of his clothes is as elegant as an exiled fairy.
And this exile was wearing a mask.
The mask is protruding, which gives the mural a distinct layering. The mask is covered with blackness. I don't know what kind of paint was used. Because of the age, the color should have faded.
Luo Shen glanced at it and said, "It's gold pigment, which has oxidized."
It turned out to be a golden mask!
Wan Teng Linmu said: "This person has a high status in the clan. Could it be that he is the owner of the tomb?"
The man wearing the golden mask couldn't see his face, he was tall and elegant, and the murals were engraved with scenes of him practicing medicine and saving lives.
This man is an outsider, and he wore a golden mask when he came. He came to this branch tribe of the Baimin. There was a plague in the tribe. The man collected medicine himself, treated them, and then the plague was gradually brought under control. down.
The tribe all bowed to the ground in gratitude for the man's favor.
The next painting is the scene where the clansmen in the tribe kneel down to worship the man, and a grand sacrificial activity was also held.
Mr. Bai said: "This is a ceremony to worship the patriarch. It seems that the clansmen here respect this man very much. They are willing to respect an outsider as their patriarch."
Judging from the clothes, the man wearing the golden mask is actually a Baimin. This tribe is also a branch of the Baimin. In fact, their blood should be the same, so the coronation went on smoothly.
Wan Tenglinmu illuminated the mural with a flashlight all the way, and said: "These tribes respect their patriarch very much, and this masked man seems to be a good man. You see, the murals have always been scenes of practicing medicine to save lives."
Da Jin said: "Maybe it's just beautification. If he is a good person, how could he want to catch Zhulong and build a tomb of rebirth?"
The murals stretched forward, and the mural in the middle of the tomb passage was a mural of a man in a mask. The entire mural was protruding, and it was twice the size of a normal person.
The man was surrounded by Chenghuang, holding a stalk of grass in his hand, as if he was picking medicine.
A pair of gentle eyes were exposed from behind the mask. Although the face was completely hidden by the mask, it was not difficult to see that the patriarch should be a gentle and easy-going person.
Everyone glanced at the mural, ready to move on, but didn't take it seriously.
Wan Teng Lin Mu's hands were wrapped into rice dumplings, and it was a bit difficult to hold the flashlight. His hands shook, and one of them didn't pay attention.
The flashlight fell to the ground, bounced, and the cold light spots kept shaking in the dark tomb passage.
Snapped!
With the bounce, the flashlight died heroically and went out suddenly.
Wan Teng Lin Mu was stunned for a moment, not knowing what was going on, and immediately went to pick up the flashlight on the ground, and pressed "Ka Ka Ka" a few times, but the flashlight had been held back and couldn't turn on anyway.
Luo Shen came over and said, "What's wrong?"
Wan Teng Lin Mu didn't speak, and quickly grabbed Luo Shen's flashlight, went to look at the masked man on the mural, and said, "Did you see it just now? His eyes moved."
"What?" Da Jin said, "He's alive?"
Wan Teng Linmu shook the mural with the flashlight, and the light spots dangled back and forth, saying: "Just now, when I dropped the flashlight on the ground, his eyes moved, and I can see clearly."
Luo Shen squinted his eyes, walked forward, shone a flashlight on the eyes behind the mask, and said, "It's the paint. It should be a light-sensitive paint, plus refraction and reflection."
He said, looking at the murals from different angles.
"It really moved!" Wan Tenglin pointed to the mural and said, "That's right, I saw him move just now."
In fact, it's not that the mural is alive, but that the eyes of the mural have been processed. Luo Shen took care of it from an angle. The eyes hidden behind the mask no longer stared at the herbs in his hand, but raised his eyes, obviously looking at the top of the tomb.
not only that……
"Look..." Da Jin said in shock, "Did he cry?"
With the illumination of the flashlight, not only did the eyes change, but also tears flowed from the eye sockets, and the golden mask was also stained with scattered tear stains.
Luo Shen kept the light source still, and the masked man's eyes kept staring upwards, staring at the top of the tomb passage.
Wan Teng Lin Mu raised his head along the way, stared at the top of the tomb, and said, "Is there... is there something on it?"
Luo Shen asked Da Jin to replace him and held up a flashlight to illuminate the murals. Wan Teng Lin Mu took another flashlight, followed the murals' gaze, and projected the spot of the flashlight on the top of the tomb, saying, "This is it."
The ceiling of the tomb was very high. Luo Shen stretched his wrist. He didn't need a ladder or any tools. He took two quick steps, "Tap!" He rushed to the mural and stepped on the bulge of the mural. Jump up.
Snapped! !
With only a crisp sound, Luo Shen jumped up and slammed on the ceiling of the tomb illuminated by the spot of light.
The top of the tomb was actually very thin, "Kacha Kacha—" it suddenly cracked, and as the broken stone slab fell from the top of the head, there was also a floating thing that fell to the ground.
The crowd quickly dispersed to avoid being hit by the gravel. Luo Shen landed steadily, brushed the gravel off his body, and bent down to pick up the things on the ground.
"It's a silk book."
There are silk books hidden in the stone wall on the top of the tomb.
Luo Shen unfolded the silk script, which was densely packed with characters, and immediately handed it to Mr. Bai, saying, "It's written by Bai Min."
Mr. Bai took the silk scroll and said, "This... this is the autobiography of the owner of the tomb."
Many tomb owners can write autobiographies, but autobiographies are usually buried in the coffin, or in the tomb, or among some funerary objects, how can they be placed in the tomb passage?
And it was hidden on the top of the tomb, as if afraid of being discovered by someone.
Mr. Bai began to read the words above, and the masked man was indeed the patriarch of the Baimin tribe. He was an outsider who had come here from a far away place and was originally homeless. The kind-hearted tribe took him in.
Not long after coming to the tribe, a plague broke out in the tribe. The man is good at dispelling yellows. In order to repay the kindness of taking him in, the man stayed in the tribe to treat the tribe.
The plague was very fierce, but because of the man's medical skills, the tribe was saved. The tribe members respected the man very much and wanted to regard him as the patriarch.
The man had nowhere to go, and the kindness and simplicity of the tribe moved him. The man decided to stay and be with these tribesmen.
"After that, he became the patriarch of this Baimin tribe."
The man led the tribe to gather medicine, smelt iron, and farm mulberry. The backward tribe slowly began to grow, but at this time...
Mr. Bai said: "The patriarch's temperament has changed drastically."
The patriarch's gentle and refined personality suddenly changed. He was cruel and would not save him. He even liked to listen to the screams of the living.
The patriarch forced the people to build an altar for him, and raised a huge female snake. The female snake would emit fragrance in the rainy season to attract the candle dragon to mate. The patriarch wanted to use this female snake to catch the candle dragon.
"Using Candle Dragon's blood ointment to make a growing lamp, but it didn't work out."
Wan Teng Lin Mu said: "There are so many people in the world who want to catch Zhulong, how can they succeed?"
Mr. Bai frowned suddenly, and said: "The patriarch didn't succeed, so...he chose to use the blood ointment of the clan as lamp oil, and made it into an ever-burning lamp."
"What?" Wanqi Linmu said, "The blood ointment of the tribe?"
The patriarch changed from a god who saved people to a murderous ghost overnight. The clansmen were afraid of him, but they dared not disobey him, so they could only build a tomb for him.
Wan Teng Linmu said: "So this tomb was built by the patriarch for rebirth?"
Mr. Bai glanced at the silk script quickly, nodded and said, "That's right, it's clearly written on it, that's what happened, because the lives of the Bai people are very short, and the patriarch was also afraid of death, so he built this reborn tomb in advance. He wants to be resurrected through sorcery."
"Sorcery..." Wan Teng Linmu said, "What sorcery?"
Mr. Bai said: "This silk book says that if you get enough blood ointment lamp oil and cooperate with the sky fire, you can be reborn."
Wan Teng Linmu was a little strange: "Then why did the patriarch change his temperament overnight? Did he say it himself?"
Mr. Bai continued to read: "I really said it, because...he has two hearts."
"What? Two hearts?"
Everyone looked at Mr. Bai, as if they wanted Mr. Bai to make sure that they read the silk script correctly.
Mr. Bai said with certainty: "That's right, it has two hearts. This patriarch has two hearts, as if he has a dual personality. One heart is a kind heart that helps the world and saves people, and the other heart is a vicious, selfish heart." ...The patriarch was afraid that one day he would be devoured by his poisonous heart and die completely, so he wrote this silk book and secretly put it on the top of the tomb, hoping that someone could see this silk book..."
Because the patriarch has two hearts, his body will be dominated at some point. The patriarch wanted to commit suicide, but he never succeeded, so...
"After the patriarch placed the silk book, he lay down in the coffin of the tomb, sealed the lid of the coffin, and buried himself alive before the deadline..."
Because the patriarch knew that this coffin was built by Du Xin for rebirth, once it was sealed, it could not be opened, otherwise everything would be in vain, so in doing so, the patriarch actually died with Du Xin.
Wan Teng Lin Mu frowned and said, "What else is written on it?"
Mr. Bai said: "If someone can find this silk scroll and know the cause and effect of the incident, then they must find the main tomb, decipher the sacrifice, and then..."
—kill me.
Mr. Bai added: "The back of the silk book is a map of this tomb."
There is even a map, it seems that the patriarch also took great pains.
Luo Shen took the map and said, "We are here now. There is an altar in front, and behind the altar is the main tomb. This tomb is surprisingly simple."
Wu Qi nodded and said: "After all, it is a tomb built for rebirth. If it is too complicated, after rebirth, maybe he himself will be trapped in it."
Wan Tenglin looked at the map and said, "The path to the tomb goes straight. There is only one road. Yuan Feiming must be ahead. We didn't find the wrong place."
He said, frowning, as if he had thought of something: "Yuan Fei ordered a tomb, as if he had gone mad, what happened? So far, there is nothing too strange. What inspired him?" Amplified his five senses?"
Luo Shen said: "Go forward and you will know. Apart from the altar, there is the main tomb in front. The problem must be in the front."
Everyone didn't dare to stay, took the map and set off immediately, and continued to walk forward.
Just like the one drawn on the map, it didn't take long for the tomb passage to come to an end. Sure enough, there was a bright open space in the darkness, and a huge empty field appeared, with an empty frame.
In the middle of the empty field is a square high platform, the high platform is at least ten meters high, and there are steps on all sides, you can climb the high platform from the steps.
This high platform should be the altar drawn on the map.
White bones were piled up around the altar, and the bones were piled up like a mountain, all turned into white bones, scattered on the ground, surrounding the high platform.
Luo Shen went over to check the bones and said, "They were all killed and thrown here. They should be members of the Baimin clan. There are wounds on their bones."
You can see how deep the wound was.
The scene of the sacrificial sacrifice must have been very tragic, it cannot be expressed by these accumulated bones...
Going around the square altar, and walking a short distance, is the tomb passage, and there is only one tomb passage, leading to the deep darkness.
Wan Teng Linmu said: "According to the map, the main tomb is in front of us. Let's..." Go quickly.
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly saw something, pointed to the top of the altar and said, "Look, isn't there someone there?"
"Someone is standing there!"
A figure stood above the altar.
Because the altar was too high, and the tomb was very dark, everyone didn't notice it just now.
The man stood on the altar, motionless, like a statue.
Wan Teng Lin Mu said: "Yuan Feiming? Is it Yuan Feiming?"
When Wan Teng Linmu said this, everyone else saw it, and they used a flashlight to shine on the altar and shook it vigorously.
Wan Teng Linmu shouted: "Yuan Feiming!! Yuan Feiming, we are here!"
"Yuan Feiming!"
"Yuan Feiming—"
With such a loud voice, Yuan Feiming stood on the altar, as if he had fallen into a trance
