The other side of time

(nine)

Starting from this small room, one can be considered to have entered the underground palace of King Qijia's Tomb.The road behind was very long, and there were many forks. Xie Yi and Chu Qi relied on the map drawn by Yanshi of the Yannv tribe, and went straight forward without any hindrance. It didn't take long for them to arrive at the main tomb of King Qijia's tomb.

This tomb was built extremely grandly, with a length and width of more than 40 feet and a height of more than ten feet. It should have been built using the original cavity in the underground cave.Numerous ever-burning lamps illuminate the interior like daylight, and lifelike reliefs surround the walls.In addition to the passage for the two to enter, there are two other passages leading to the tombs of the two princesses in Xinuluo.The three passages are all in the middle of the wall, and there are long steps leading down.Xi Nuluo's coffin was placed on the high platform in the middle of the tomb, and an unusually large armored scorpion lay quietly beside it.

"Let's not go down now. That should be the guard made by the Yanshi Yanshi of the Yannv clan for King Qijia's tomb, but why is it also a scorpion..." Xie Yi felt that this Yanjia scorpion was quite similar to the one he made, the size But many times larger.At this moment, it locked its feet and tail pins and curled up on the ground. It still looked four or five feet long. If it stood up, it would be huge.

"Many tribes in southern Xinjiang regard scorpions and centipedes as sacred objects, so it's not surprising that Yanjia will make it like this." Chu Qi looked up at the dome of the main tomb and frowned: "Compared to that Yanjia scorpion , the above things are probably even more troublesome."

The dome is lined with the three-headed puppets they met when they first entered the mausoleum. At first glance, they thought it was the same thing as the reliefs on the wall.Xie Yi counted them casually, no less than two or three hundred.If there are so many three-headed puppets who can't be killed without finding a weak point, if they rush down together, even if Da Luo Jinxian comes in, it will be difficult to retreat completely.In contrast, that scorpion may have been made to fool the people of Great Mongolia.Because Yanjia does not mean that the bigger it is, the stronger it is.The larger the size, the more spiritual power it needs to support the movement of the Yanjia, and the more difficult it is to maintain the movement. It is impossible for the Yanshi of the Yannu clan not to know this.

These things should wake up and launch attacks within a certain distance. The two of them lived in peace on the stairs, but they couldn't stand here all the time, let alone retreat.No matter what, you still have to fight them.

When the two of them walked down the last step, there was a sharp and strange laugh in the main tomb, and the three-headed puppet in the center of the dome moved and climbed down along the wall.The two had already fought this kind of monster once, and it would not be difficult to deal with the same kind of thing again.Xie Yi attracted its attack, and Chu Qi quickly killed it after observing its weakness. The two tried their best to move under the wall to avoid alerting the guard of the armored scorpion.Soon the first three-headed puppet fell to the ground, and the two puppets next to it just now screamed and rushed down the dome. After being killed again, the number of puppets that climbed down from the dome became four.

To deal with one three-headed puppet, Xie Yi is still very easy, two is not a big problem, and four is starting to be a bit strenuous.He opened the hood of Transient Blossom, and attacked the puppets surrounding him with his armor and spells.After Chu Qi killed two of them, he paused, raised his head and quickly counted the number of three puppets on the dome, and said, "Xie Yi, we can't kill them all."

"Why?" Xie Yi cast a Lightning Control Technique on the puppet rushing over, and said, "I'm fine, another group can also deal with it!"

"These puppets didn't rush down together. They all follow a rule. The new ones will come down when the previous batch is dead." Chu Qi turned around and killed another one, and then said: "I just counted, here There are 250 puppets in total."

Xie Yi immediately understood what was going on.One, two, four, eight... The puppets attacked according to the doubled number of the previous batch. By the last time, 120 and eight puppets would rush down from the dome together.But if this goes on, it is unknown whether the two can last until the last batch.

They made a quick decision, Chu Qi attracted the puppet's attention and dragged it back, Xie Yi cast the mysterious ice technique, condensed the thousand-year-old black ice, sealed it inside, and then looked at the armored scorpion in the middle of the tomb.

"Now it's time to meet this big guy."

The two of them hadn't gotten very close yet, the armored scorpion in the middle of the tomb made a creaking sound, stood up staggeringly, stretched out its pliers, raised its tail needle, and turned its body first. Yi and Chu Qi's positions immediately rushed towards them with a bang.The destructive power of this armored scorpion is really astonishing. Every time its huge body takes a step, the ground shakes slightly, and with a wave of its pincers, it can smash the ground into a big hole.Its armor is too thick, and the spells hit it without pain or itching, so it can only be avoided.Xie Yi thought with all his heart that when the spiritual power was exhausted, it would naturally be unable to move. Such a huge Yanjia must not last long.

But for a long time, the armored scorpion had no tendency to consume all of its spiritual energy. On the contrary, Xie Yi was still distracted by maintaining the fleeting armor that trapped the three-headed puppet, and gradually became exhausted.

It is not wise to spend any more.

"If I can know how the magnetic pole of this Yanjiascorpion is installed, I can stop it immediately." The pliers of the Yanjiascorpion waved, and Xie Yi flashed to the side, "But when each Yanshi installs the magnetic pole He has his own unique method, if there is no blueprint...it will be very difficult."

"Maybe there is." Chu Qi avoided the whistling tail needle of the Yanjiascorpion, and thought: "Since those Yanshis will leave such important clues as the map, in order to prevent the descendants who enter the tomb from dying, they must make it themselves. On the Yanjiaxie, maybe...they will also leave the design of the Yanjia."

"We must have missed something along the way, but it's too late to go back and look for it now." Xie Yi carefully reviewed every detail after entering King Qijia's tomb, the cave full of pottery figurines, the long passage, the main The tomb, the princess tomb on both sides of the main tomb on the map... A possibility flashed through his mind, and he shouted: "Chuqi! Do you think that map looks like a scorpion?"

"Scorpion?... not bad." Chu Qi thought about it for a while, and it is true. Although the picture is very abstract, if the original cave represents the tail needle of the scorpion, the forked road is drawn like the foot of the scorpion, and the main tomb represents the head of the scorpion. The body and the tomb of the princess on both sides are the scorpion claws... He suddenly understood: "Those Yanshi designed the Yanjiaxie according to the map of the royal tomb from the beginning!"

"I know what to do." Determined to win the land, Xie Yi directed his spiritual power towards the Yanjiaxie according to the position marked on the map, "If you guessed right, the emblem of Yanshi on that picture is the Yanjia The most critical magnetic pole on the scorpion!"

The Yanjiaxie shook for a bit, its movements became extremely sluggish.However, it was not stopped, and within a few seconds, it swung its large pincers aggressively again.

Xie Yi was taken aback, then shook his head and said: "No, this armored scorpion has one more magnetic pole than the ordinary armored scorpion. The two must be applied at the same time, otherwise it will have no effect on it. The distance between the two magnetic poles is too far, I can't simultaneously ..."

"Then come together." Chu Qi pulled him back quickly and said, "I'm in charge of the front one, you go to the back."

"Huh? But..." Xie Yi was a little worried, this is not just a matter of hitting Yanjiaxie casually, only Yanshi knows how to control spiritual power to accomplish this...

"Don't worry." Chu Qi nodded to Xie Yi, raised the Yanjia knife, and pointed to the magnetic pole on Yanjiaxie's body: "I was once... a Yanshi."

Although Xie Yi was a little shocked in his heart, he did not hesitate and immediately rushed to the rear of Yan Jiaxie.After finding the magnetic pole, he nodded at Chu Qi.The spiritual power of the two flowed at the same time, the tacit understanding was so tacit that no words were needed, the light flashed, and the huge armored scorpion swayed and fell to the ground with a crash, raising a cloud of dust.

At this time, Xie Yi remembered that none of the living puppets in Liuyue City had any memories of the past. Chu Qi said that he was once a Yanshi. Could it be that he recalled his past?

After knowing each other for so long, Xie Yi still doesn't know anything about Chu Qi's past.

However, he is still willing to believe him.This kind of trust comes from the depths of the soul, it is guided by intuition, and there is no need to think about anything.

He would naturally want to get close to Chu Qi, which had become an instinct.He sometimes felt that the two should be one, as if the inside and outside of the mirror were divided into two sides by a mirror, but their souls were still tightly connected.

Therefore, whether it is a tacit understanding or liking, it is a matter of course.

The Yanjia scorpion guarding the tomb has fallen, and the three-headed puppet locked in the Shunhua hood is not to be feared. The next step is to search for the existence of Hanguang.

Xie Yi looked at the coffin on the platform in the middle, wouldn't King Qijia put the Ancient Excalibur in it to be buried with him?

When the two walked in front of the coffin, a voice suddenly sounded in the tomb: "A pile of wood can make you so embarrassed, and you have been beaten for so long, and the young people nowadays are too useless!"

Following the voice, a figure gradually emerged above the coffin, Xie Yi was stunned for a moment: "Could it be... the undead of King Qijia?"

He put on a posture to prepare for the battle, but Chu Qi held down his hand: "Wait a minute, this is—"

"Undead, you big-headed ghost! I am Jianling Yuqi, you really have no eyes!" The young sword spirit pointed at Xie Yi and yelled angrily. A thunderbolt struck at his feet, and a black cloud rose from the masonry ground. cigarette.

为什么主墓室里的三头傀儡一定要弄成1+2+4+8+16+32+64+128=255这种数字呢？

Great Mongolia Gu Master: Do you understand the need to save material resources?Puppets are difficult to make. Why would an intruder who can be defeated by two or four have more than 200 to pounce together?Ah, you said that as long as one of them is kept alive, the chain reaction will be broken?I don't want them to come out until one batch is killed, I also want them to come out two as long as one is killed!But even if the total number is not clear how many are needed, there is no beauty of mathematics!
