Chapter 55: The Latticed Star Gate

In that piece of residual jade stacked on the cliff, there is a black, as if the ghost-like thing is about to climb out of the wall, and feel a flower in front of me, even let a person blink of effort is not, the jade wall of the ghost has come to the eye, I saw a distorted features of the black face struggling out, cold highlights in the front of the three people.

I knew it was not good, I could not care less about the candle in my hand, and hurriedly dodged sideways, embedded in the wall of the trestle is very narrow and steep, so that the amplitude of human movement can not be too large, otherwise it will be a headlong plunge into the ravine, or will be crowded beside my companions knocked down, so although I dodged to the side to avoid, but also only just to avoid the ghost of a sudden lunge out of the wall of jade.

Tactical spotlight beam with my body’s rapid movement, in a moment has lost the role of illumination, only feel a piece of fluffy things close to the flesh from the side of the face, scraping my cheeks a hot pain.

At this time the fat man issued a shout, wheeled the sapper shovel on the smash, shovel head rolled with the wind, from my head swept over, according to the jade wall in the black shadow smashed a square, “Dang” loud, shocked his tiger’s mouth numb, but the fat man, although fast, the sapper shovel but did not hit the target, the group seems to have a shape without quality of the black shadow, fast as a wisp of black smoke, “whoosh”, the black shadow, the black shadow, the black shadow, the black shadow, the black shadow, the black shadow, the black shadow, the black shadow, the black shadow, the black shadow, the black shadow, the black shadow, the black shadow. “Whoosh” drilled into the gap between the soil layer and the jade piece.

Earth Immortal Tomb latticework hall above the stacks between, once again returned to the dead silence, only our heavy breathing, and heart “thump thump thump thump” wildly beating sound, my face was cut by the cuts only then flowed blood.

After just this lightning like a contact, I have been able to determine will never be the belly fairy finger fan of the kind of phantom vision hallucinations, in this buried wall full of ancient jade, indeed hiding something very scary, but by the soil sealed for hundreds of years, and can move in the wall, I’ve never seen this kind of thing in my life, is it really the “Candlelight Night Walking” in the portrayal of the “ghosts! “I’ve never seen such a thing in my life.

Shirley Yang and the youngest sister stood farther away, did not see what happened, but Sun Jiuji was really see, he whispered: “certainly not a ghost, the dead souls and ghosts in most cases belong to the phenomenon of the electrical magnetic field, it is not possible to leave this kind of wounds on your face, that thing may be the coffin mountain corpse fairy, when Fengshigu looking for it! ”

I don’t believe there is any “Corpse Fairy”, but I can’t explain what the ghosts in the jade wall are, at least I can assert that they are definitely not “living creatures”, any living thing can never be sealed in the earth for hundreds of years and still be able to move. Any living thing can never be sealed in the earth layer for hundreds of years and still be able to move, even if it is a zombie, it is not possible to change its form to drill into the cracks.

Shirley Yang said to us: “The scrolls and drawings left by the Earth Immortal Fengshigu all avoided talking about what happened in the Latticework Hall, and the “Candlelight Night Journey” only depicted this embedded tomb passage. We still don’t know what exactly is in the Earth Immortal’s tomb, I think the only way to find out the truth is to enter the Guanshan Taibao’s tomb to investigate.”

Professor Sun nodded, “Anyway, we can’t get out of Coffin Mountain, and there are Corpse Immortals around the trestle and the jade wall, so it’s not a safe place to go, according to the saying, we should go in and completely destroy Feng Shigu’s coffin and artifacts, but I’m still worried that our actions have been anticipated by the Earth Immortals, and entering the Latticework Hall is the same as letting it out.”

I am worried that the “corpse fairy” hidden in the jade wall, and will suddenly drill out from where to hurt people, so I advised Mr. Sun not to hesitate, although our equipment is limited, but don’t forget, there is a most important equipment in the world – spirit, as long as you hold the conviction of victory, no difficulties can be overcome. There is no difficulty that can not be overcome, said dragged him to continue to the deep out of the underground trestle into, due to the cold smoke and fire has been exhausted, can not detect the depth of the Pan Gu Vein mountain belly caves, only to grope downward.

This time the crowd added a hundred and twenty thousand careful, no longer dare to easily touch the two sides of the buried jade jade jade bibs of the soil, to the bottom of the earth for a while, found around the feet of the ancient jade is more, between the two walls of the jade holes of varying depths, filled with countless small caskets, most of the broken destroyed, none of them is intact, it seems that this Pangu vein in the belly of the mountain is a huge piece of natural jade material, all the jade bricks, jade jade bibs are mined from, and by man-made chiseling dug into a cave, and then dug into a cave. All the jade bricks and jade jewels were mined from it, and then dug into a jade cave by human chiseling.

If we look at the feng shui situation, this Pangu vein lying in the coffin mountain, pregnant with chalcedony in the belly, just like a gold water in the stomach condensed into a jade Dan, is the five elements of the world’s essence of the knot. Heaven and earth ghosts and gods creation of the strange, not in the common sense, so what is in this mountain is not strange.

I secretly wondered in my heart, thinking of the Earth Immortal Fengshigu is hidden in the end of this stack, I do not know whether this person is dead or alive, he is in the Pangu Divine Vein really transformed into a fairy? Is he really immortalized in the Pangu Divine Vein? Can he be dealt with by just a few of us? Thinking of this, I touched the hidden in the bosom of the “return to the ruins of the trigrams mirror”, for the “bronze mirror” zhen zombie said, can not be fully believed, can not count on the bronze mirror, when the time comes or with kerosene burning is more prudent.

At this point, can already feel the trestle almost to the end, spotlights and wolf-eye flashlight illumination range, has probed into the ground below, the jade cave from the side, like a long diameter flask, although narrow above, but to the bottom is found to be very open, there is a hole in the sky.

Cave in the darkness of the deep hand can not see five fingers, the air contains impurities, the lamp shines out of the column of light can only reach up to four or five meters, simply can not see that the “latticework hall” is in what position, suffering from the lack of a wide range of illumination of the cold smoke and fire, only like a blind man feeling the elephant like a chaotic, I suddenly remembered that the youngest sister had said that she had a beehive of mountains with a “fire turtledove”. “Fire turtledove”, asked her if she could put a few out here, or let the guys see the nearby terrain clearly.

The youngest sister hurriedly rummage in the backpack, and finally pulled out a bamboo tube, with this one, no more. I said don’t be reluctant to part with it, good steel on the blade of a knife, good wine on the national banquet, now in the dark, it is when it comes in handy, on the bright son of it.

That “fire turtledove” is a kind of use of taut spring shooting rockets, many uses, not only can attack the enemy, but also contact signals, and the brightness is very great, can be used as an ancient flare, is “honeycomb mountain” in the predecessors from the end of the Southern Song Dynasty down the Fire Nitro type concealed weapon.

The youngest sister will be “fire turtledove” in the hands, this fire nitrate concealed weapon or her godfather Li old shopkeeper hand-made, said to be very powerful, she has never used before, do not know whether it works, but hope that the honeycomb mountain ancestor grandpa manifestation, do not have an accident is good, immediately asked me to ask for a lighter, to ignite the fuse.

I see the youngest sister intends to “fire turtledove” flat shot out, and quickly let the rest of the people flashed in the side, the people just want to act, suddenly heard the crags in the air between the sparse clattering a chaotic sound, listen to that movement, as if the collapse of the mountain occurred, there are boulders sliding down, a large piece of scattered soil have fallen.

The youngest sister was disturbed by the sound of falling rocks from above, her first inverted bucket, psychological pressure is not small, looking up at the time to forget the hands of the “fire turtledove” has been lit, heard the fuse giggling, only then came back to his senses, exclaimed, and hastily raised his hand to raise the bamboo tube, that the “fire turtle dove “with a fast lead, now nitrate spring shooting, in the harsh whistling wind sound, was pressed in the bamboo tube fire turtledove immediately wrapped in the flames in the sky.

“Fire turtledove” unfolded more than half a meter long fire wings shot into the air, issued a “wooo” long song, fan-shaped fire, immediately pierced the heavy darkness of the ground, slanting drilling into the mountain wall, nailed to a trestle on the stone steps burned fiercely.

This “fire turtledove” although it is made in recent times, but the honeycomb mountain craft has long been declining, is still maintained a thousand years ago that handmade workshop mode, gunpowder formulas and raw materials are still extended to use the folk recipe, and the modern “flare” can not be compared with, it is difficult to sustain the glow, the blinding light of the flare. Difficult to sustain the light, the blinding flame began to dim in an instant.

But I still borrowed this light, vaguely saw the terrible scene high above, the coffin mountain above the mountain suffered from “nine deaths shocking mausoleum armor” serious erosion, a piece of collapsed mountain rock began to fall from the mid-air. Among them, there are so many pieces, fell into the belly of the Pangu corpse vein, sliding down the deep ravine, due to the huge rock, the ravine is narrow, were stuck in the jade wall between the stacks, did not directly smashed into the lower caves. But the mountain rock slides down one after another, will both sides of the steep wall on the sealing soil shocked down a lot, a large area of jade jade and sarcophagus are exposed, a piece of fuzzy “ghost shadow”, between the wall swiftly hidden, seems to be moving towards the bottom of the mountain belly of the chalcedony caves, the ancient tomb of the “corpse fairy”! The “Corpse Immortal” in the ancient tomb is indeed more than one, the number is so large that it is difficult to estimate, a time to teach people to look at the dumbfounded.

At this time the light quickly dimmed down the “fire turtledove”, was sliding down the debris covered with dirt, immediately engulfed in the darkness, the mountain rocks stirred up the smoke and dust steeply, rumbling sound fell on the head of the crowd, we can not dodge in time, was choked by the dust and soil a good time to cough for fear of being smashed by the large pieces of rock, hastily retreated into the depths of the cave.

I used my hand to dust off a layer of dust falling on the mountaineering helmet, see the rest of the few people are also dusty, not a mess, all have just seen the situation on the cave, the heart seems to be like a thousand pounds of boulders, I’m afraid there is no safe place in the tomb of the Immortals, and now here, and how to take care of it?

The youngest sister in just released “fire turtledove” at the time, was the back seat of the gunpowder inertia to sit down on the ground, see the depths of the cave there are a few dark beasts, flint light did not see too clear, seems to be the tomb door Zhenling stone beasts, to find them to be able to judge the direction of the door of the tomb, so she took us a few steps into the darkness, and sure enough, in the corner of a short distance, to see a scaly and armored stone beast. I saw a black iron beast with scaled armor and horns.

Mr. Sun said that this is probably the history books recorded in the “Iron Qilin” ah, is a kind of royal tomb in the palace lighting facilities, but I do not know whether the iron Qilin belly still fuel, and how it is used?

I also know that this iron unicorn called “unicorn lock dragon lamp”, the tomb lamps and candles are similar, it is only the “longevity candles, lamps” in the netherworld, to open the lamp of this kind of hooks, it is difficult to specialize in doing the business of the gold digger, and touched the iron unicorn’s head, found the nose ring, and pushed it outward, and it is a kind of lighting facilities in the palace. Find the nose ring, force outward tugging, only to hear the Lin belly “Ka Ka” several sounds, the iron Qilin’s armor seam out of the rolling flames.

Unicorn lock dragon lamp four feet sunk in the ground, each other between the oil canal filling connected, this fire head together, nearby will be one after another, there are the rest of the iron unicorn spit flame burning up in the cave between the stars, there are dozens of more, will be a bright light, but latticework in front of the temple of the unicorn lock dragon lamp is not unusual, the flame is not anointing, but dark, cold phosphorus fire, the underground caves reflecting As if a ghost cave.

Looking through the light, in the deepest part of the cave, there is a tall door wall, two tomb door is tightly closed, on which are inlaid with many copper nails, vertical nine horizontal ten, arranged as a lattice star lattice star of the number of the Underworld Temple, only those outside of the use of “lattice star”, in front of the door stand two rows of clay sculpture, are yellow scarf warriors look like, all tops of the God’s head, a ghostly face, a movement of the They all look like gods and ghosts, guarding the deepest secrets of the “Earth Immortal Village”.

I look at the side of the Sun Jiuzi pale, is looking at the “latticework door” muttering, I do not know what he is talking about in his mouth, thinking that the layers of the belly layer mountain, or have to be careful to prevent him from any abnormal behavior, after all, this old man has too many secrets, ghosts know which sentence of the words in his mouth is true and which sentence is not true.

Fatty urged me to say: “old Hu, hurry up, we are with the tail.” I heard this, I know it is not good, hastily looked up and looked up, only to see the flickering ghost fire, there are countless shadows of the “corpse immortal”, is struggling to climb out of the walls, constantly to the ground in front of the latticework hall, the light of the Lin fire on them, seems to be completely swallowed by the black fog like ghosts, the fire in the cave in front of the Palace of Earth darkened again.

I see almost driven to the end of the road, not even stop to take a breath, can not help but curse secretly, hidden in the ground “corpse fairy” in the end what the hell is it? How could such a thing exist in the world? Even the horrible situation that we can’t even dream of in our nightmares, we were actually taught to bump into it in the “Tomb of the Earth Immortal Village”.

I thought to myself, “A good man should not be forced to suffer before his eyes”, this saying is not the “truth”, but the minimum “common sense”, so I called out to all the people, “Let’s go into the tomb first! To find the immortal Fengshigu important, do not do more entanglement with them here ……” said greeted the remaining four people ran to the “latticework door”.

We five people know that life is at stake, who do not dare to slow down, ran to the tomb door to make all-out efforts to shake the stone door, “latticework door” for a thousand years for the iron tree fossilized stone carving, very hard and heavy, but did not fill the copper injection of lead to be closed, the crowd of people to make every effort to push half of the stone door open a gap, inside the Yin gas compelling, although the darkness, but did not see the touch of the door. Pitch black, but did not see what touched the ambush.

I see that the tomb door gap is narrow, but can already allow people to enter, then and fat people and the youngest sister and other people first pushed in, and then only to collect the abdomen to latticework in the door to squeeze, fat people into the tomb door immediately pushed back to the back, while the top of the door side greetings: “I say that comrades, you quickly carry forward the class of friendship, all come to help hand ah!” I stopped him and said, “Don’t waste your efforts, the tombstone door of the Earth Immortal can’t stop those guys outside at all, quickly retreat inside.”
