A lamp talisman was lit, and the faint halo was like a golden fence, covering Murong Xue's face. Murong Xue let go of the lamp talisman, and the talisman was like a cluster of ghost fires, slowly drifting towards the passage below the hole, illuminating a pitch-dark room.
"It's safe below." He turned his head and said to Yu Shishi and Yu Linxian.
The three of them turned down the holes one after another and landed on the gravel. Murong Xue and Yu Shishi rolled down from the temple above together, and after crawling in the cobweb-like corridor for a long time, they met Yu Linxian who fainted. Fortunately, the old man just smashed a piece of his head, nothing major, but the glazed mirror shattered, no matter how he cast a spell, it would not light up.
Going around in circles until now, I haven't met any disciples next to me. This underground hole system must be very large, and everyone is in different positions. The most urgent task is to find the way back, find the help of the senior brothers and sisters left behind, and find a way to find everyone. Otherwise, someone may break a hand or foot, but cannot be treated. But Yu Linxian insisted on going deep. According to his meaning, the way up must have been blocked, and he could only find a way from below. Among the three, he was an elder, and Delong was highly regarded. Master Yu only followed her master's lead, and Murong Xue could not say a word, and silently followed behind Master Yu.
The bucket room is not big, with a square golden coffin in the middle, and six coffins around it in a circle, surrounding the center. The six coffins are all wooden coffins, and the lacquer on them has peeled off cleanly, revealing the rotten wooden core. The golden coffin is in perfect condition, and there are intricate and delicate reliefs on all sides of the coffin. Murong Xue put the lamp talisman on the wall, Yu Shishi touched it a few times with a strange face, got tired of climbing, and sat down on the golden coffin to rest.
"This must be the tomb of a certain Fuxi god and witch." Yu Linxian praised, "In ancient books, there are ten witches in Lingshan. They go up and down from Lingshan to the heaven. Lingshan is the highest peak in the Jiuyi Mountains, and they regard Lingshan as a The ladder to the sky. After they died, they buried themselves in the mountains, hoping that they could be with the great god Fuxi forever. These corridors are the way they built the tomb, and Lingshan is the cemetery of the god Fuxi."
Murong Xue frowned and whispered, "If it is a tomb, this place should be sealed. Besides, this corridor can't accommodate a person to pass upright, how do they transport the soil, sand and gravel for the construction of the tomb out of the mountains? These corridors... the younger generation thinks. It should be used elsewhere."
"You thief has some truth in what you said, then what is the use of it?" Yu Shishi said.
Murong Xue shook her head, "I haven't thought of it yet."
Yu Linxian was a little displeased when she saw Master Yu sitting on the golden coffin, and said, "You child, come down quickly. This is the place where ancient gods and witches rested. How can you be so rude?"
"It's been dead for thousands of years and turned to ashes. Even if I pry his gold away, he won't know." Yu Shishi stuck his tongue out, got down from above according to the words, and squatted down to look at the relief on the top of the coffin.
There are a total of four pictures, front and rear, left and right, and it seems like a big battle. The sun-like man on the cloud should be Fuxi, the great god looking at the cloud, looking down at the river of blood in the vast wilderness. In the swirling cloud in the middle, a white deer, with its antlers and flowers, was walking up the wind. Countless vajra-eyed demons hovered beside it, roaring towards the sky.
"This should be the evil god of southern Xinjiang, the white deer." Yu Linxian explained while stroking his beard. "It is said that it does many evils and only eats the hearts and livers of children. Every full moon, Nanjiang will sacrifice a boy and a girl on its altar. That's right. Otherwise, it will go down to earth and disturb the mountains and rivers. In a fit of anger, the great god Fuxi leads the gods of the heavens to attack the Bailu and rescue the people of the southern border from fire and water."
Yu Shishi pointed at a man in armor on the battlefield, "This man is so burly drawn, he must be the owner of the tomb. This senior god and witch is really amazing, he actually followed the great god Fuxi to crusade the southern border. There are demons there. , If God Fuxi had brought them in a nest back then, it would have saved us from going down the mountain every day to exterminate demons and subdue demons, so busy that our feet didn't touch the ground."
"Monsters are also living beings. We just have different camps and positions. But in the eyes of God, whether it's a human or a monster, everyone is the same." Murong Xue said softly.
"You have given birth to a bodhisattva heart." Yu Shishi gave him a look.
Murong Xue smiled shyly, "Senior sister is overrated."
"..." Master Yu rolled his eyes, "You idiot, I'm mocking you."
"Oh..." Murong Xue froze for a moment, and lowered her eyelashes in loneliness.
When Master Yu saw him like this, he felt a little sorry. This guy is pure and white, and always warm, which always makes people want to bully him. Suddenly remembering that this bastard peeked at her taking a bath, I felt confident. A prostitute, even if he was skinned, it would not be too much.
Turning to the other side, the scene above the relief suddenly changed. The great witch was drawing a talisman to set fire, the flames almost engulfed the whole picture, and many unknown flowers turned to ashes in the flames. In the third relief, the witch is bound by chains and tied on the altar. A group of witches surrounded him and poured a kind of juice into his mouth. Others cut off his flesh and stuffed something into it. Murong Xue carefully identified it, it seemed to be a mandala.
"This is a divine flower." Yu Linxian said, "The name is no longer available, it seems to be related to 'wind'. Legend has it that only the gods have this kind of flower, and the ancient great witch stabbed it on the chest as a symbol of identity. From what I can see, it was this senior sorcerer who set fire to the god flower and was sentenced to capital punishment."
"What is he doing to burn flowers?" Yu Shishi asked.
Nobody knows the answer. "Shen Hua..." Yu Linxian showed a longing look, "I don't know if using this flower to make a golden elixir, will it be able to live forever."
Just as he was talking, the lamp talisman on the wall suddenly flashed three times and turned grey. Yu Shishi was startled and said, "How did you draw this spell?"
"No," Murong Xue said hurriedly, "I added a few strokes to my lamp talisman, which can sense the breath of inhuman beings. If the number of opponents is within three, it will flash once. If the number of opponents is four, it will flash twice. Down."
"Just dodged three times," Yu Shishi drew his sword out of the scabbard, "There are only five, not many, one by one."
"No," Murong Xue said with a bitter face, "This spell can only flash three times at most, and it's grayed out means... There are too many opponents, and it won't flash."
While speaking, they had already heard a cold and sticky sound, as if something hard was rubbing against the ground. I don't know the origin or the number of this kind of thing, so it shouldn't be fought recklessly. Everyone went to lift the golden coffin at once. The golden coffin was very large and firm. It would be good to hide three people. However, the three of them tried their best to suck the milk, and the coffin didn't move at all. Helpless, had to disperse to hide the wooden coffin. It seemed that only two wooden coffins were intact. Yu Linxian wanted to hide with the little apprentice, but who would have thought that Murong Xue jumped in after Yu Shishi. He had no choice but to lie down in a coffin and cover up the planks.
As soon as Murong Xue lay down, she heard something crawling out of the hole in the dorm room. The crushed stones made a thin sound, which made one's scalp tingle in the silent darkness. He and Yu Shishi invariably hugged the arm of the dead corpse in the coffin. Facing the unknown living thing outside, this dead thing was nothing to be afraid of.
A deep shadow covered the coffin board, and Murong Xue felt that the coffin was a little darker. He heard a cold "hissing" sound, like a poisonous snake spitting out a letter. The sound of "hissing" came and went, and it didn't take a moment to fill the entire tomb. It sounded like there were poisonous snakes crawling outside. The coffin boards creaked, and something climbed up their coffins. Murong Xue's heart raised in her throat, trying her best to hold her breath, lest these evil beings find her breath.
They sniffed everywhere, and across the thin wooden board, were their cold scales. The scales scratched across the decaying coffin board, making a tooth-searling crunch. The rotten wooden coffins were squeezed by them, as if they were about to collapse in the next moment. He felt the corpse beside him shaking, and his heart skipped a beat. Could it be that this corpse is cheating? It took a while to realize that it was Yu Shishi who was holding the corpse's arm tightly, trembling uncontrollably.
In the darkness, Murong Xue blinked, gently pulled Yu Shishi's sleeve, his fingers touched the palm of her hand, and wrote stroke by stroke, "Don't be afraid."
Yu Shishi grabbed his hand with a backhand, and choked it tightly. Murong Xue was so terrified that she gritted her teeth and didn't let out a sound.
The coffin was extremely dark, and the monsters of unknown origin had not yet left, roaming the dorm room. Murong Xue tilted her head, trying to look outside through the gap, but it was pitch black and she couldn't see anything. He opened his eyes for a long time, gradually getting used to the darkness, looked into the crevice again, and was stunned for a moment. It was like falling into an ice cave, and the whole person froze.
Yu Shishi felt that he became stiff, and wrote in his palm: "What's wrong?"
He didn't answer. Just now, he vaguely saw an eye outside the crack of the board, as if it had turned a few times. He suddenly understood that there was an evil creature lying on the coffin board and peeping inside, motionless. Murong Xue didn't know if this thing found them or not. She held onto Master Yu's hand tightly. When Master Yu sensed something, she didn't dare to move. The two of them maintained a hand-in-hand posture, like two sculptures.
Gradually, the "hissing" sound faded, and the room fell silent again. The coffin board creaked, followed by the sound of scales rubbing against stones, and the thing lying on the coffin seemed to leave. But Yu Shishi and Murong Xue still didn't dare to move, and they didn't hear Yu Linxian's voice. They were silent for a while before they quietly called out, "Master..."
No one answered, and there was no strange sound.
Master Yu called out again, "Master?"
The two lifted the coffin board and touched his master's coffin, only to find that Yu Linxian's coffin was empty, leaving only the original mummified corpse inside. Murong Xue lit the lamp talisman, and the talisman light illuminated Master Yu's anxious face.
"Has my master been captured by a monster?"
"..." Murong Xue whispered, "I'm afraid not."
He pointed to the coffin they were lying on, and stuck a yellow paper spell on the edge of the inconspicuous coffin lid. Master Yu picked it up and saw that human blood was dripping on it.
"Those evil creatures have been circling our coffin, probably because of this bloody talisman. Your master took advantage of them to be attracted to us and escaped quietly. Fortunately, they seem to have scruples and dare not destroy them. The coffin." Murong Xue said dejectedly, "Senior Sister Yu, while there are only the two of us, I have something to say to you. Your master is not a good person. I didn't peek at your bath, he peeked at it. Just imagine that apart from you Master, who dares to approach your tent? I warned him a few times before he restrained himself."
Yu Shishi was shocked beyond words, "Don't talk nonsense, he is my master!"
Murong Xue glanced at her, looking aggrieved, lowered her head and said nothing.
The blood talisman was in his hand, and the nails hurt his palm. Master Yu couldn't believe that the master who raised him was such a person.
"I will go to my master and ask me about this matter." Master Yu put the blood talisman into the universe bag, "If it wasn't you who peeked at my bath, why did you draw my little portrait?"
"I..." Murong Xue's cheeks flushed instantly.
Unable to see his face in the darkness, Yu Shishi snorted coldly, turned his head and walked outside, climbing up to the entrance of the cave first. It was dark outside, and I didn't dare to use too many lamp talismans. I only dared to light one, and light up the fields faintly. There was no strange sound, and those evil things were definitely gone.
Yu Shishi squatted at the entrance of the cave, looking left and right to guard against evil things, and asked in a low voice, "You said, those ghosts clearly know that we are in the coffin, why didn't they lift the coffin?"
"I don't know..." Before Murong Xue finished speaking, there was a creaking sound from behind, the golden coffin board moved out a crack, and a blue-black corpse hand with unusually long fingernails protruded from it. Murong Xue's scalp exploded, and she hurriedly climbed up.
Those evil things did not dare to touch them, it turned out that there were more powerful things here. I don't know how vicious this great witch who has been immortal for thousands of years is. Murong Xue stretched out a hole with both hands and looked down, the shadow of the witch corpse had already been cast on the ground below. Yu Shishi also shivered, took out a spell and stuck it at the entrance of the hole, and the two fled in a hurry.
In the panic, he didn't know where to flee, so he only chose the path where there was no trace of the movement of evil creatures. Murong Xue inadvertently pushed a slate, two people got in, and moved the slate back to its original position. I really didn't have the strength to climb, leaning against the stone wall and panting. Turn on the lantern at the first moment to check if there is any evil here. The lamp symbol did not flicker, and the two were relieved relative to each other.
The silent cave, only the two of them. Yu Shishi looked sideways at Murong Xue's fair face. This guy secretly painted her little portrait, needless to say, he knew what he was thinking. She felt that it was still necessary to remind her, and said, "Tell you, don't like me, I won't like you, I am a very pursuing person."
"I know." Murong Xue was calm.
He was like this when he was a child, and when he was thrown into the crowd, he lost his top. He was mediocre, like the same hollow flowers on the window lattice. Although delicate, it was not brilliant. How could a proud young lady like Yu Shishi like him? Ever since Wu Fang Luo Tian talked about it, when Master Yu kicked a fellow brother from the same sect, he liked her, but he also knew that this love would have no result. So he just kept silent, and it was fine to watch from a distance, and the little joy was in his heart and warmed himself.
Murong Xue said, "I know that Senior Sister is devoted to Taoism and will not care about the affection of these children."
"Oh, that's not true," Yu Shishi said calmly, "Let me tell you the truth, the ones from Zixushan who came here today look pretty good, and there is a person named Qi... not the white-haired man, but The one with the white face is quite suitable for my eyes. If he is also interested in me, then I will be a secular person. If he doesn't have long eyes and can't see my beauty, the one called Yun Zhi can make do with it."
Murong Xue: "..."
"And I was sent by a famous family, and I have a higher status than them. When I become a relative in the future, I will definitely listen to me." After Yu Shishi finished speaking, he gave him a vicious expression, "If you dare to say this, Tell others, and I'll tear you apart."
Murong Xue nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, daring not to disobey.
The lamp talisman floated all over the hole, and there was only one corner that could not be clearly illuminated. Yu Shishi and Murong Xue looked at each other, drew their swords and moved over step by step. There was darkness there, and there was an indescribable terror. The swordsmanship of the two is actually half-baked. Master Yu came here because of her master's guidance, and Murong Xue came here because of Master Yu. Unconsciously sweating, the sword light reflected the pale faces of the two.
"Is your demon-detecting talisman reliable?" Master Yu muttered softly.
"I..." Murong Xue stumbled, "I can't guarantee..."
Die or die! Master Yu summoned up his courage, shouted loudly, and took the lead with his sword. A frost and cold sword energy suddenly enveloped her sword move, the clear light fell a little bit, the dark shadows in the corner dispersed, and Yun Zhi and Qi Lingshu showed their bodies. One was sitting upright, while the other was leaning against the stone wall, raising an eyebrow at her and smiling.
"Hey, it's really sad," Yun Zhi sighed while covering half of his face, "I can only let my junior sister get away with such a face. I will not let my junior sister feel wronged when I reincarnate in the next life with a good appearance."
Yu Shishi was dumbfounded on the spot, and the cave was silent. The three of them have big eyes to small eyes, and Qi Lingshu alone sits in meditation with his eyes closed.
Murong Xue broke the embarrassment and said, "What are the two brothers doing here?"
"Of course, to hide from those evil things," Yun Zhi said with a smile, "Is it possible that I can double cultivation?"
Qi Lingshu: "… "
At this moment, the glazed mirror lit up, and Qi Yin's voice came from inside, "The big thing is bad, Nuluo was caught by those snake men, we are going to break through. After half a stick of incense, you all rushed to the hole in the north of the statue of Fuxi. I'll come pick you up."
"Oh, it's only been a while, and I have to go again." Yun Zhi stretched out, "Junior brother and sister, are you going?"
"There are so many evil things outside, how did we get to the place that the white-haired man said?" Yu Shishi asked suspiciously.
Yun Zhizhan frowned, revealing his big white teeth, "The distance from here to the cliff is only ten feet in a straight line, that is to say, let's go out from here, turn a corner on the corridor on the left, and the south-facing wall is in Fuxi. north of the statue."
It was south and north again, Yu Shishi was confused and couldn't make out. She is a road idiot, she never remembers the way she walks, not to mention that the roads here are intricate and messy. Murong Xue murmured, "I know the way you said, and that's where my senior sister and I came from. There are no holes there, and we can't get out."
"It's okay," Qi Lingshu wiped Wen Xuejian, the sword's sharp body reflected his indifferent face, "If not, just blow it up."
