Chapter 0826: How did the underground five poisonous formations and Xuanzang die?
Thank you all, Liu Shiba finally had a peaceful sleep from yesterday to today! I am grateful and sorry!
……………………
"I think there must be some secret passage here."
Dulan was weird and suddenly interrupted.
"Oh? I'm curious how you know?"
Jingse turned around and smiled.
"I've read a lot of Chinese tomb robbing books, and they all say this."
Duran responded matter-of-factly.
Liu Shiba had been listening quietly to the conversation between Du Lan and Jing Se, but this time he nodded secretly, then shook his head and chuckled:
"Hmm! Maybe I know the reason."
After that, Liu Shiba ignored the curious looks of Jing Se and Du Lan and walked straight to the front of the corridor.
Qin Da and Huang Zhongcai didn't care whether it was a secret passage or not, they hurriedly followed after seeing this.
"God, let me tell you, there really is a secret passage."
Dulan said he was joking, turned to look at Jingse triumphantly, and ran straight away.
Jingse bared his teeth and clenched his fists, shook his head and followed.
Soon, Liu Shiba and his party once again came to the corner that was previously hidden by the magic array.
Liu Shiba turned his head and smiled, squatted down lightly, and groped carefully in the corner.
Suddenly, Liu Shiba chuckled and said:
"As expected...an old thing."
Jingse was startled when he heard this:
"Old thing? Am I very old?"
Dulan passed by Jingse and said with a sinister smile:
"Can I give birth to a tenth child?"
Before Jing Se could think about it, Liu Shiba took out his military thorn and pried loose the mud brick underneath the painted wall on the corridor wall.
The mud brick was carefully pulled out by Liu Shiba. After studying it for a while, Liu Shiba twisted the mud brick hard and rotated it 180 degrees.
Then he frowned and made some gestures before carefully pushing the mud brick back to its original position and reintegrating it with the painted mural on the corridor wall.
The painting on the mural depicts a story: Xuanzang traveled west to obtain Buddhist scriptures, tapped a brick under his feet, turned it, and inserted it back into place, thus discovering the Kingdom of Women...
In the corridor, it was silent at this time, everyone was looking at Liu Shiba from a distance!
However, it was only quiet for less than five seconds...
"boom!"
At the blind corner of the corridor, there was a roar!
Liu Shiba took three steps back, then covered his mouth and turned around to look.
Du Lan, Qin Da and Huang Zhong quickly stepped forward with their flashlights to shine.
Under the illumination of several flashlights, a three-meter-tall stone sculpture shaped like a toad appeared in front of everyone.
The toad opened its mouth, and a faint white mist seemed to be sprayed from its mouth. It looked like another world, like a dream.
Everyone was stunned and didn't know what to say!
Jingse took a few steps forward and walked to Liu Shiba. From a few meters away, he looked at the toad stone sculpture from a distance and sighed:
"Speaking of it, my Jing family is just a family that inherits witchcraft, and I have never seen the world in the ancient tomb.
Unexpectedly, this strange journey opened my eyes to Jingse. Look at the exquisite craftsmanship of this carving.
This toad seems to be alive and exquisite. It is incredible. Can the sculpture craftsmanship of the ancients reach this level?"
Liu Shiba listened to Jing Se's sigh indifferently, but he was cursing in his heart that the handwriting of the construction of this tomb passage looked like the handwriting of his grandfather Liu Yi.
The notes record it correctly. This Five Poisons Illusionary Formation was created by Liu Yi who merged with a strange man from Miao territory at that time.
The so-called five poisons refer to the five poisonous insects in the world today, which may seem like ordinary species in foreign countries.
But in China, these five poisons have a very high reputation.
The five poisons are scorpions, snakes, centipedes, toads, and geckos. The stone sculpture behind the earthen wall in front of you is not a toad, but a big toad...
Liu Shiba waved his hand to stop Qin Da and Huang Zhong from following, and stepped gently into the mysterious space behind the earthen wall.
Jingse looked around and suddenly said:
"Be careful, I heard there are traps in ancient tombs."
Du Lan was happy when he heard this and chuckled:
"Look, you are worthy of being the leader and leader of the clan! I just said that there may be a mechanism, and you learned it in no time."
After saying that, Dulan patted Jingse on the shoulder proudly and added:
"You see, Mist Jingse is the smartest. Not only does he know that there is a trap, but he also learned to use my original words to remind the boss..."
Jingse was so angry that he took out a black wooden stick he had with him and said sternly:
"If you keep talking, I will kill you with a stick. Do you believe it?"
Liu Shiba ignored what was going on behind him. He gently raised his hand and caressed the body of the stone sculpture. The palm of his right hand slid slowly and finally landed on the tip of the toad's tongue.
Jingse quickly turned around and reminded:
"Don't move around..."
Liu Shiba smiled and insisted on turning the tip of the toad's tongue with his palm...
Then Liu Shiba quickly retreated, turning three steps into two steps to push back to Qin Da.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak!"
A strange creaking sound appeared inside the mud brick wall for three seconds, and then disappeared instantly.
Dulan and the fifteen soldiers were not as nervous as before. Instead, they took out their military thorns at the same time and consciously blocked a row in front of Liu Shiba.
Liu Shiba nodded secretly. The sudden increase in strength brought about strange changes in the minds of these soldiers.
They have become extremely confident and are no longer bound by the American brainwashing project, because they firmly believe that they are free people.
"This is just one of the hidden opening mechanisms. There are four more places like this!"
Liu Shiba pointed at the wall and explained confidently.
Jing Se looked at Liu Shiba in confusion, and said:
"How did you know there were four more?"
Liu Shiba smiled and said nothing, turned around and walked towards the corridor he passed by again.
:
"You guessed it right, this is China's Five Poisons Magic Array, guarded by five poisons, namely scorpions, snakes, centipedes, toads, and geckos!
There are some gold and silver jewelry behind the toad stone sculpture. If anyone enters, be sure not to touch it, and two people cannot enter.
There is unparalleled poisonous gas hidden in the toad's mouth, and the weight of two people is enough to activate the load-bearing mechanism on the ground.
There are other Five Poisons stone sculptures at other corners of the corridor, so we need to be quick."
Jing Se shook his head in confusion, but his eyes seemed to understand something, and he said in confusion:
"I feel that the people following behind are very powerful. Are they blinded by the illusion array and lost?"
Liu Shiba turned his head, showed his white teeth, smiled and said:
"That's right! The living fell to the ground and the dead turned over! Some of them must have fallen when they entered the corridor, so they were contaminated with evil spirits!"
Jingse and others said with big eyes:
"Are you bluffing me? If you fall, you will be hit by something evil?"
Liu Shiba restrained his smile and said:
"Actually, I only recently understood the meaning behind this sentence.
A saying my grandfather often said when he was a child is that the living fall to the ground and the dead rise..."
Jingse stood there frowning and thinking, but secretly chewed:
"It seems that the witchcraft community also says this."
Just as Liu Shiba expected, they successfully found sculptures of four other poisonous species: scorpions, snakes, centipedes, and geckos.
Behind each sculpture, there is a faint golden light, which is obviously priceless gold and silver jewelry.
However, all the members except Liu Shiba were unmoved, and Du Lan only had a few seconds of excitement.
"Boom!"
After the secret room of the fifth gecko stone sculpture was closed, everyone vaguely heard a loud bang in the darkness in the distance of the corridor.
"There really is a mechanism."
Dulan was very happy, looking at Jingse and making gestures.
Jingse struck the head with the black stick in his hand and roared angrily:
"I made your grandma..."
Then, Jingse said sadly and angrily:
"Although I haven't seen Xuanzang's body yet, I know how he died."
Liu Shiba asked curiously:
"What?"
Jing Se pointed at Dulan, dumbfounded:
"Those who talk too much will be beaten to death."
