Soon, a row of steps appeared in front of us. This row of steps was also made of ice. There were probably more than a dozen steps. Although it was not as grand as I imagined, it looked very impressive.
Looking up from below, there seemed to be something placed at the top. Mr. Mai took the lead and stopped in front of the steps. He turned around and reminded us, "Everyone, be careful when going up the steps. There may be traps."
"
I nodded and said, "Yeah, I know, Mr. Mai, let Jenny and the others stay, and the three of us will go up."
Jenny's leg injury is serious, and Li Xin and Lao Shui are not in very good health either. It's better to let them stay here. Mai Laojiao and I are enough. If there really is a mechanism on the steps, just a few of us
There is no way to protect them, but this is still an invisible pressure for us.
But before Mai Lao could speak, Li Xin spoke first, "No, I have to go up. I won't stay."
I turned around to look at her, held her arms with both hands and said, "Now is not the time to show off. There may be many agencies on these steps. If you encounter any danger, I won't be able to take care of you at all."
"Zhongyi, I'm not as weak as you think. Don't worry, I won't hold you back. I can take care of myself." Li Xin's stubbornness came back again. Once her temper set in, no one could stop her.
"Why are you so stubborn? Can't you just listen to me?" I said earnestly, hoping she would listen to me.
"I have decided, I must go up." Li Xin looked at me and said firmly.
I suddenly felt helpless. I turned around and looked at Jenny. She looked at me on Martin's back and said, "You don't have to say loyalty, I won't stay."
"Yes, since we are all here, we must go up and see what the wizard in the coffin looks like." While Martin was speaking, he did not forget to look sideways at Jenny, as if to express his position.
"You...are you all crazy? Do you want your life?" I stretched out my hand and pointed at them one by one. This was a critical moment, and it was really adding to the chaos.
"Zhongyi, I know you are doing it for our own good, but we have already come this far, are there still a few steps left? Even if there is real danger up there, we have appointed people, but right now, all this is still your guess.
Maybe... there is no mechanism at all?" Li Xin held my hand and looked at me and said.
I'm really confused. If they were not injured, why would I say such things more? I just hope to ensure their safety. Jiao Badu said that this is the most dangerous place. Don't look at us now
The journey was safe, but the calmer the surface seemed, the more fearful it made me feel.
Jiao Ba then put his hand on my shoulder and said, "Brother Yi, please don't bother me. If you do this, it will make them disgusted. Since they are not afraid of death, let them be, but...I
Let’s talk ugly words first. If you really encounter any danger and lose your life, don’t blame me for not warning you.” He meant well, hoping that he could say this to make them retreat, but it was a pity that he did so.
It's also in vain.
"Don't worry, even if we really die, we won't blame you." Martin said rudely.
But at this time, Lao Shui and Xiao Feng were a little bit defensive, "How about...I...we two can stay."
Martin glared at them angrily and growled, "Old Shui, why are you so cowardly? Are you afraid of this little thing?"
"Captain, it's not a matter of being afraid or not, it's a matter of whether we should risk our lives, right? If there really is an agency above, it would be difficult for me to escape in my current state." Lao Shui is a smart man.
"Yes, Captain, I don't have any strength in my body. I think Brother Shui and I should stay." Of these three Malaysians, Iron Mask is really the most heroic.
Martin's face almost turned green with anger. Finally he waved his hand and said, "It's up to you."
"Okay, if you want to stay, you can stay. If you don't want to stay, just come up with me. But I have to remind you that this is the tomb of dark wizards. There are dangers everywhere. Staying may not be the way to survive.
It may not be a dead end if you go up there." After Mr. Mai finished speaking, he took the lead and walked up the steps.
Jiao Ba and I also hurriedly followed. Li Xin, Jenny, and the others were right behind me. If there was really any danger, I could try to protect them. When Lao Shui and Xiao Feng saw that we were all going up, they finally decided to follow us.
.
It must be Mr. Mai's words that played a certain role. Staying down is not necessarily a way to survive. On the contrary, going up is not necessarily a way to die. The purpose of our coming here is to break this hexagonal formation.
Mai Laozhen is so calm. I have never seen a man who is more calm than him. He walks at the front of the crowd, his steps are steady, neither hurried nor slow. This man's psychological quality is simply powerful and scary. Even if there are many people around him, he is so calm.
Even in chaos, he can be as stable as Mount Tai.
But the rest of us couldn't do it behind him. Everyone was looking left and right, including me, and we all wanted to rush up there with just one step.
Mr. Mai turned his head and said, "Don't be so nervous. It'll be fine."
"Oh, I'm not nervous, I'm just... I'm just afraid that something will pop out suddenly." I said incoherently. In fact, I was nervous in my heart, but I just didn't want him to see through it yet.
Mai Lao said casually, "It's useless to worry. If there was danger, we would have encountered it long ago. Everyone, please relax and don't put so much pressure on yourself."
After listening to Mai Lao's words, the others were somewhat relaxed, but they still couldn't compete with Mai Lao. This old guy seemed to have broken away from the realm of ordinary people. We followed the steps and walked all the way to the top without any accidents.
, there is no so-called mechanism, everything is so peaceful, so peaceful that it makes people feel weird.
Jenny suddenly relaxed and said, "It's okay, I'm really afraid there will be some trap."
Martin turned his head and said to her, "Don't worry, even if there are agencies, as long as I am here, they will never hurt you."
Martin's words brought back a lot of memories for me. I remember I once said this to Jenny in the tomb on the island, but now it sounds as if it is ironic. It didn't take long, but it's a pity that it's gone.
He is no longer the same person as he was back then.
"You two are really leisurely. At this time, you still don't forget to flirt. Be careful of going too far." Jiao Ba said coldly.
His words made Jenny and Martin very embarrassed. The most helpless thing was that the two of them couldn't reply, and their faces were extremely ugly. I woke up from the memories and didn't want to think about the unnecessary things anymore.
Things are over, let those memories become permanent memories.
At the top of the steps, there are indeed six coffins placed. These six coffins are arranged in a hexagonal shape, which is exactly symmetrical to the hexagonal array. And this time, I believe it will definitely not be fake again, because these six coffins , they are all ice coffins. Each coffin is as crystal clear as crystal. However, this ice coffin looks very thick because I can’t see the body inside from the outside. The ice is translucent. If the coffin is more If it is thin, you can see the body inside at a glance.
When all of us saw these six ice coffins, no one was not surprised. It was a spectacle. Wooden coffins, crystal coffins, and even copper coffins were nothing too strange, especially A wooden coffin, even if it is made of golden nanmu, is not a big deal. Almost all emperors in ancient China used this kind of golden nanmu coffins. There were so many emperors, so naturally there is nothing surprising.
Although there are relatively few copper coffins and crystal coffins, some people still use them. However, except for a few wizards like them, no one will use this kind of ice coffin. I have never even heard of it.
Li Xin looked at the six ice coffins in front of her in surprise and said, "Oh my god, they are made of ice. They are so majestic."
What she said is true. This ice coffin is much larger than ordinary coffins. Even Zheng He's copper coffin is not as big as this ice coffin. Its appearance can not only be described as grand, it can even be said to be very grand. , the large translucent coffin seemed to be emitting air-conditioning, making people afraid to approach it.
"Captain, does this ice coffin contain the wizard?" Lao Shui asked softly.
Martin shook his head and said, "How do I know? You have to ask Hero Jiao Ba about this."
"Martin... your tone of voice is very annoying." I turned my head to look at him. His tone just now was obviously sarcastic about Jiao Ba. I didn't want to interrupt, but when I saw his artificial look, I I felt very unhappy.
"I'm telling the truth. Who knows about this? I can only ask Mr. Jiao Ba." Martin looked at me and tilted his head.
"Okay, both of you, please stop talking. Jiao Ba, have you seen this kind of ice coffin before?" Mai Lao asked calmly.
"No, this is the first time I've seen this kind of ice coffin. It's such a weird coffin. These wizards really know how to find a way." Jiao Ba walked to the ice coffin and reached out to touch the top of the ice coffin. For a moment.
Martin asked anxiously at this time, "Mr. Mai, let's burn the coffin quickly so we can leave here."
I glared at him and cursed softly, "I don't know if you are really stupid or pretending to be stupid. This is an ice coffin, how can you burn it with fire?"
Martin seemed to have come to his senses. He looked at me and blinked in a daze, "Yes, yes, yes, this ice coffin cannot be burned, so... what should we do?"
After Jiao Ba walked around the ice coffins, he stopped and looked at us and said, "Regardless of whether the coffin can be burned or not, we have to open the coffin to verify it. We must make sure whether the one inside belongs to the wizard." If it is a corpse, we will take it out and burn it directly. If it is not, we will have to start from scratch."
"Ah? Start from the beginning, ***, I don't want to go through any more trouble, I can't stand it anymore." Lao Shui cursed in a low voice.
Xiaofeng was also a little depressed, his face extremely ugly, "Me too, if this continues, I will die."
Chang Shan comforted them both, "Don't be so nervous. Jiao Ba did this to ensure that we can leave safely, so we have to open the coffin to verify it. Mr. Mai, what do you think?"
"Then let's open the coffins." But just as Mai Lao finished speaking, suddenly, several white shadows flew out from the top of the coffins. These white images were the same as those of me in the darkness just now.
The white shadows seen in the space are very similar. They are unevenly tall, short, fat and thin. They feel like human souls.
