Xiao Lou took the floor plan drawn by Lao Mo on the handkerchief, pointed to the two secret chambers of six paths of reincarnation, and said: "The exit of the maze is probably in the secret chamber of six paths of reincarnation, but we just observed carefully and found nothing special.
agency?”
Gui Yuanzhang said: "Indeed, the six walls of the secret room and the medicine room in the middle are covered with charms. The medicine room can rotate to reveal the doors on the six walls. If you go by what you said, the exit of the maze is at the original
In the secret room... what is the mechanism?"
Lao Mo guessed: "Could it be that Yaolu can continue to rotate?"
Time is running out, and nothing can be analyzed now. Xiao Lou simply suggested: "Senior Gui, please go back to the Six Paths of Reincarnation Secret Room and check it carefully again. We have to go back to the Hell Realm to finish the remaining three floors and take a look.
Is everyone’s guess correct?”
Gui Yuanzhang nodded, and everyone quickly left the Peach Blossom Spring.
The location of the Peach Blossom Spring is on the platform of the east staircase. If you continue walking eastward, you will find the Six Paths of Reincarnation Chamber in the east. If you walk in the opposite direction, Guiyuan Zhang and the others will return to the Six Paths of Reincarnation Chamber in the west.
Gui Yuanzhang led the team back to the secret room, while Xiao Lou used Li Qingzhao's teleportation to teleport the six people to the volcanic hell.
Shao Qingge just used the [Rich and Willful] card to copy Tang Ci's [Smart Armor] card.
Everyone once again put on the high-temperature-resistant protective armor. The entire volcanic hell was filled with raging fire. Under normal circumstances, you would be burned to death if you entered, but the high-temperature-resistant armor would completely isolate the raging flames. The six people successfully walked out of the volcanic hell.
.
The sixteenth level of the eighteenth level of hell has been completed.
The remaining two levels are "Stone Mill Hell" and "Sword Giant Hell".
Among them, Stone Mill Hell is like a giant rotating millstone.
When Xiao Lou was a child, he saw this kind of millstone at his grandparents' house, which can grind wheat seeds to produce flour. At this time, the millstone occupying the entire room rotates rapidly. Once it can't run out, it will grind them into meat paste.
Xiao Lou used Li Qingzhao's deceleration sign, and everyone quickly climbed over the top of the millstone.
The Hell of Swords is made up of countless sharp saws, cutting back and forth continuously.
These giant knives move very fast, and they will be split in half if you are not careful. However, after careful observation for a while, you can find the pattern. We refer to the mechanism formation method of scissor hell and move through it carefully step by step.
The eighteen levels of hell ended, and a beam of light appeared in front of him. Xiao Lou led his teammates out of the glowing door——
It is indeed the Secret Chamber of Six Paths of Reincarnation.
He saw the blue haircut mark he left in front of the door to hell.
Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang looked at each other, and the latter whispered: "It seems that the inference is correct. The maze is indeed a piebald-shaped structure. No matter which path we take, we will eventually return to this secret room."
To simply understand, this underground maze is like a huge petal on the east side and a huge petal on the west side.
Assuming that the Six Paths of Reincarnation Secret Room where Guiyuan Zhang and the others are located is point b, and that where Xiao Lou and the others are located is point a, then Gui Yuan Zhang's current action route is: secret room b → heavenly mechanism → secret room b → humane mechanism → secret room b.
They did not go to the depths of the maze, but made two large circles inside the maze.
The route of action of Xiao Lou and the others is: Secret Room A→Eighteen Hell Mechanism→Secret Room A, which also makes a big circle.
When you first enter the Six Paths of Reincarnation Chamber and see six doors appearing on the six walls, everyone will subconsciously think that one of these six doors is the correct exit, so everyone will try separately.
But now, no matter it is the heaven, the human, or the hell... the end is also the starting point.
Xiao Lou glanced at the entire secret room. The charms on the walls were still there. The medicine house in the middle corresponded to the six walls. Could it be that, as Lao Mo said, the medicine house could continue to rotate?
Thinking of this, he looked at his teammates: "Try to see if the medicine house can still rotate."
This medicine house was too heavy. At that time, Lu Jiuchuan, Yu Hanjiang and Lao Mo worked together to turn the medicine house. After hearing Xiao Lou's words, the three of them stepped forward again, each of them held a corner and started to turn it.
However, no matter how hard they tried, the one-meter-high medicine house would not move at all.
Xiao Lou asked Ye Qi: "Xiaoye, what did you find over there?"
Ye Qi said: "The medicine house can't turn. We carefully checked every inch of the six walls and found no other mechanisms. I also tried to pull down some charms, but the secret room still didn't respond."
Where is the agency?
Xiao Lou continued to observe the secret room of the Six Paths of Reincarnation. Suddenly, he discovered that on the medicine house in the middle, the three talismans corresponding to the hell path, the heaven path and the human path would actually light up every once in a while.
His eyes narrowed, and he walked over and took a closer look - it wasn't his eyesight, the patterns on the talismans corresponding to the three walls of the heaven, the human, and the hell were indeed twinkling.
Xiao Lou's heart suddenly became enlightened. He pressed the voice earphone and said to everyone: "Three doors, we have not walked in vain. The design of the petal-shaped maze should be like this - the center of the flower is the mechanism, but the six petals must
Only when they are all lit up will the mechanism in the center be activated. The lighting of the petals is shared. Senior Gui led the team to walk through the human path and the heavenly path. We have just walked through the hell path, and the three charms of Yaolu have been lit. I guess,
All six charms must light up before this medicine house can be activated."
Gui Yuanzhang took a closer look and saw that there were three talismans shining brightly in the medicine room in the center of their secret room.
Ye Qi said excitedly: "This is just like a stand-alone RPG game. You need to light up a few branches of the mechanisms before you can open the main mechanism. It seems that we have to continue to complete the remaining three doors?"
Xiao Lou said: "Senior, why don't you take the Asura path? Let's try the Animal path?"
Guiyuan Zhang had no objection: "Okay."
Everyone split up again.
After the six people in Xiao Lou entered the animal path, they inexplicably discovered that everyone had collectively turned into animals?!
Lu Jiuchuan turned into a black cow, Yu Hanjiang turned into a horse, Lao Mo turned into a big rooster, and Xiao Lou turned into a little sheep.
Because Tang Ci and Liu Qiao were already in the state of transformation, after turning into animals, their bodies would also shrink - Tang Ci became a puppy as big as a thumb, and Liu Qiao became a pig as big as a thumb.
Lu Jiuchuan: "Moo!"
Lao Mo: "Giggle!"
Liu Qiao: "Woof woof woof?"
Xiao Lou: "What? What?"
Lu Jiuchuan: "………………"
No one can understand this fucking cross-species speech!
Six people have black lines on their heads.
The beast way directly makes them reincarnated into beasts - little Lolita Fangpian, you are too good at tossing.
Yu Hanjiang flicked the horse's tail and kicked his hooves forward, meaning "go quickly."
Lu Jiuchuan turned the cow's head and leaned over to let Tang Ci climb onto his horns. Tang Ci's puppy with a big thumb had no choice but to climb up, while Liu Qiao climbed up with difficulty along the tail of Lao Mo's big rooster.
Yu Hanjiang took the lead, followed by cows, sheep, chickens, ducks and pigs.
Because of the language barrier, everyone had no choice but to remain silent to avoid making strange sounds like "woof" and "bleep".
The further they walked in, the more gloomy the atmosphere became, and they could see a lot of blood and corpses of the same kind.
Xiao Lou was surprised to find that cards were actually banned in this secret room.
The animal way obviously allows them to experience the misery of being a cow or a horse.
The surrounding walls were full of bloody murals. Various animals were tortured to death, and their eyes were filled with tears of blood. The more Xiao Lou looked at it, the more frightened he became. Fortunately, there were no too dangerous mechanisms in this secret room. They left for about
In ten minutes, we reached the exit.
After seeing the lighted door, Xiao Lou breathed a sigh of relief and left the Animal Road with his teammates.
Everyone finally changed and came back.
Lu Jiuchuan rubbed his temples with a headache: "First I became an ugly duckling, and then I tried to be a cow. The experience is really rich."
Xiao Lou, who had turned into a little sheep, didn't want to talk.
He walked over and looked at the central medicine hut, and the talisman symbolizing the animal path lit up. Ye Qi and the others were walking on the Asura path, and it was not yet bright. Xiao Lou asked thoughtfully: "Xiaoye, how are you doing there?"
Ye Qi said: "We are surrounded by all kinds of strange monsters. Those monsters have no physical form. They are like black mist floating in the air, constantly attacking us. Fortunately, Senior Gui is very powerful. He used a brush to kill the monsters.
Driven away!"
Xiao Lou had seen Gui Yuanzhang's brush before. When he waved the brush, he could make the target float in the air. With Senior Gui around, Xiao Lou didn't have to worry about the danger Ye Qi and the others would encounter for the time being. He could continue to walk with his teammates to the final destination.
Ghost Road.
After entering the room and walking only a few meters, a large number of ferocious-looking ghosts suddenly rushed toward them——
Xiao Lou hurriedly summoned Bai Juyi with his 3rd skill [Song of Everlasting Regret]. Targets in a large area stopped attacking immediately!
Countless evil ghosts seemed to have pressed the pause button and stopped their movements instantly.
Xiao Lou was still frightened and said hurriedly: "Let's go!"
The six people ran forward quickly, and when they passed a corner, several evil ghosts rushed towards them. At the same time, another evil ghost emerged from the ground and hugged their legs hard.
A strange scream sounded in my ears that made my teeth hurt.
Yu Hanjiang frowned: "Do you want us to become food for these hungry ghosts?"
After he said that, he whipped out his saber and chopped off the white bones of the little ghost hugging Xiao Lou's legs. He pulled Xiao Lou into his arms, and at the same time he flew up with Qinggong, stepping on the heads of several ghosts.
Go forward!
Lao Mo followed suit and flew with Qinggong with Liu Qiao in his pocket. Lu Jiuchuan simply rode on the Suzaku.
The road to the Hungry Ghost Path is very long, and the entire cave, on the ground, on the walls, and above the head, is filled with densely packed evil ghosts. Those evil ghosts bared their teeth and claws, exposing their bones. This scene looked really scarier than a zombie wave!
Yu Hanjiang took the lead, waving the saber in the man's hand quickly. Any hungry ghost who stretched out his bones to grab the walls on the left and right sides would be instantly cut off by his saber!
Xiao Lou concentrated on dealing with the evil spirits above his head. The speed of drawing circles with his compass was as fast as one circle per second. Countless silver rings were floating in the air. They were used as hidden weapons to trap and throw out all the hungry ghosts climbing down above their heads to attack them!
The two worked together to clear the area, followed closely by Lao Mo and Lu Jiuchuan.
The long hungry ghost path didn't know where it ended. Xiao Lou was carried by Yu Hanjiang and flew in a circle. He felt that his arm was about to break, but there were more and more bones in the cave. Finally, Lu Jiuchuan couldn't bear it anymore and drove away.
The ultimate move of the mythical beast——
Suzaku Heavenly Fire!
Red tongues of fire swept through the cave instantly!
Those white bones were burned to crackling sounds, and the entire cave was filled with flames. Yu Hanjiang took the opportunity to lead Xiao Lou and jump forward quickly——
Everyone returned to the Secret Room of Six Paths of Reincarnation again.
At the same time, Gui Yuanzhang's voice came to Xiao Lou's ears: "We just came out."
Xiao Lou pressed the voice earphone: "We are too."
The two of them walked to the front of the Medicine House in tacit understanding, and sure enough they saw the six talismans on the Medicine House, all lighting up with a soft white light.
Xiao Lou was overjoyed: "The mechanism has been activated."
****
[Chapter 388, Mysterious Sarcophagus]
Only when all six petals are lit will the mechanism in the center be activated - Xiao Lou's deduction is indeed correct.
What is the secret of Yaolu?
Yu Hanjiang, Lu Jiuchuan and Lao Mo stepped forward together and grabbed the three corners of the medicine house and turned it hard. They thought that after all the six colored charms were lit, the medicine house could continue to rotate, but...
The three of them tried their best, but the medicine house still couldn't turn.
Yu Hanjiang raised his head and asked: "Isn't the agency not in Yaolu?"
However, except for the medicine room in the middle of the entire secret room, no hidden compartments were found on the rest of the floor. We also carefully checked the six walls and found no traps.
Xiao Lou frowned and looked around.
Everlasting light?
He walked over and tried to turn the steady lights on the six walls.
It can't be turned or moved away. The ever-burning light is fixed, so it shouldn't be a mechanism.
It's not the surrounding walls, it's not in the medicine house, it's not the ever-burning lamp, it's not on the ground... where will the mechanism be?
Xiao Lou suddenly raised his head.
roof!
The secret room is just that big. The ground, walls and medicine room have all been removed, leaving only the roof.
Who would have thought that the mechanism of the underground tomb would be on the roof?
Xiao Lou said: "Pay attention to the masks on the roof."
Those masks were colorful, with all kinds of strange patterns painted on them. The masks were so densely packed that they covered the entire roof. Xiao Lou couldn't see clearly, so he turned to Yu Hanjiang for help...
Yu Hanjiang understood instantly and immediately flew up with Xiao Lou's Qinggong in his arms.
Looking closely, Xiao Lou discovered that these masks actually had totems corresponding to the six realms of reincarnation. He tried to remove the black mask corresponding to the hell realm in the middle. The place covered by the mask was a stone with the corresponding spell painted on it.
brick.
Xiao Lou quickly took off six masks of different colors, and sure enough, six complete stone bricks were revealed.
He quickly moved the stone bricks so that they corresponded to the spells on the six walls——
A loud "rumbling" sound suddenly came to everyone's ears.
The entire secret room of Six Paths of Reincarnation began to shake violently like an earthquake.
The medicine house in the middle of the secret room suddenly sank, revealing a bottomless slide. Yu Hanjiang hugged Xiao Lou and fell back to the ground. The two of them came to the side of the medicine house and looked down.
There is no end in sight for this slide, and no one knows where it leads.
But what is certain is that this is the exit of the petal-shaped maze encountered so far.
Xiao Lou held down the voice earphone and told Gui Yuanzhang how to crack the mechanism: "Senior, the mechanism is on the roof. If you remove the center and six colored masks, six stone bricks with spells will appear. Adjust their positions.
Corresponding to the six paths of reincarnation, the medicine house will be activated."
Soon, Gui Yuanzhang's voice sounded in his ears: "There is another secret room under the medicine house. Let's go in and take a look?"
Xiao Lou nodded: "Okay, keep in touch."
The two teams walked into the depths of the maze from the slide below the medicine house at the same time.
**
After a while, at the door of Asura Road, a man and a woman came out of the stone door and walked into the secret room of the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
They wore black tights to facilitate movement, and their faces were covered with silver-white metal masks. Their appearance could not be seen clearly, but their eyes were cold and sharp.
Finding that the medicine house had sunk and revealed an exit, the two looked at each other.
The man said coldly: "It seems that they have found the exit of the Chamber of Reincarnation."
The woman frowned, with a hint of dissatisfaction in her tone: "The exit is actually under the medicine house... We split up and entered different reincarnation doors to intercept them, but we missed them every time and got injuries all over our bodies. If we had known earlier, we might as well have been there.
They are waiting for them in the secret room of the Six Paths of Reincarnation."
The man glanced at her and said calmly: "Why are you so anxious? We don't have to kill Lu Jiuchuan this time. The boss just asked us to follow them to find out their details. We don't even know how many people there are in their team. What do you think?"
Even if you take action, you may not be successful."
The woman thought for a while and nodded: "Yes." She looked around and fixed on the wall of the hell realm: "Where is she? Why hasn't she come out after so long?"
"I guess he died in the hell realm." The man walked to the front of the medicine house, glanced at the steps going down, picked up a wireless intercom, and said: "Everyone listen to the order, there is a mechanism under the medicine house in the middle of the Six Paths of Reincarnation Chamber, everyone.
Keep tracking and be careful not to be discovered by them."
"Yes." Several echoes rang in his ears, and the man jumped up and slid down quickly with his companion.
**
A long corridor appeared in front of him, a road paved with stone slabs. When you step on it, you will hear the sound of "ta da da" footsteps. Yu Hanjiang picked up the night pearl and led the way. Xiao Lou, Lu Jiuchuan, and Lao Mo followed closely behind. Tang Ci
and Liu Qiao are still about the size of a thumb and stay in their pockets.
As he walked, Xiao Lou discovered many murals on the walls.
The first painting tells the story of the birth of a baby. The child should have a distinguished status, and people also held a grand priestly event for his birth; the second painting shows the child growing up, wearing colorful dresses and ties.
Beautiful braids...it's a girl.
Later, it tells the story of her marriage.
With red wedding attire, phoenix crowns, and a majestic guard of honor, the wedding banquet was very lively. The entire wedding mural was five meters long.
Because the characters in the murals were so lifelike, everyone quickly understood the contents of the three paintings. Strangely, the scene from the murals to the wedding night ended abruptly. Liu Qiao couldn't help but wonder: "What about her story after she got married?"
? Logically speaking, if the mural represents the life experience of the owner in the ancient tomb, it should be painted until the owner's death. There is no reason to only paint half of it, right?"
Xiao Lou looked at the mural and fell into deep thought.
A large amount of red is used in these murals, which looks like blood stains, giving a hint of eerieness in the dark tunnel.
He asked Ye Qi thoughtfully: "Xiaoye, what did you find over there?"
Ye Qi said: "There are some murals on the walls, telling the story of a woman's life, from her birth to her marriage..."
Xiao Lou: "What happens after you get married?"
Ye Qi stopped in confusion: "It disappears after you get married, and the walls behind it are all empty."
Hearing this, the weird feeling in Xiao Lou's heart became even stronger. He looked at Yu Hanjiang and said softly: "The theme of this weekly theme is called the Tomb of the Headless General. The owner of the tomb is probably not a simple general."
Yu Hanjiang stopped in front of the last mural: "Could it be that this woman..."
Xiao Lou nodded: "It is very likely that he died after getting married."
Liu Qiao is right. If the life of the tomb owner is recorded in the form of murals in the tomb, it makes no sense that the murals recording this woman will disappear after she gets married. If a normal woman is buried with a woman, her life story must be painted with her heirs.
, and some important deeds later.
Unless she died shortly after the marriage, there is nothing to record.
Everyone looked at each other and continued walking forward.
The deeper you go, the narrower the passage and the colder the temperature.
Xiao Lou asked Lao Mo: "Which direction does the compass show?"
Lao Mo said: "Go all the way east."
This is a straight passage without any forks or bends. Lao Mo can clearly identify the direction according to the compass.
I don’t know how long he walked, but Xiao Lou suddenly found a stone door in front of him. There was a strange turntable on the door, with the symbols of gold, wood, water, fire and earth on it.
Xiao Lou reached out and adjusted the turntable according to the law of the five elements' attributes, making it become wood, fire, earth, metal, and water.
The next moment, the stone door opened smoothly in front of everyone.
At the same time, the message Ye Qi sent through telepathy rang in his mind: "Professor Xiao, we saw a five-element carousel. The mechanism is very simple. Senior Gui opened the door and there is a coffin in the secret room!"
Xiao Lou raised his eyes and saw that there was also a coffin in this tomb.
It's a sarcophagus, with incomprehensible words carved on the stone, like a strange spell.
The entire tomb was brightly lit, and the ever-burning lamp in the corner had been burning for who knows how many years. Although the lights were on, the temperature in the tomb was still very low, and the cold air hitting our faces made everyone shiver.
What's even stranger is that there is a lot of blood on the sarcophagus.
Lu Jiuchuan raised his eyebrows: "So much blood on the sarcophagus? Has anyone been to the tomb?"
Xiao Lou said: "This blood has been around for some time. It has oxidized and solidified in the air, so it appears red and black. It should be left over a hundred years ago. It is not that anyone has been to this tomb, but something strange happened when the sarcophagus was buried.
Good thing."
If he is not even afraid of corpses, he is naturally not afraid of blood.
Xiao Lou took a step forward, leaned over and looked carefully at the blood stains around the sarcophagus. Soon, he came to a shocking conclusion: "The blood seeped out from the inside of the coffin."
When everyone heard this, they gasped.
Who is in the coffin, and why is there so much blood leaking out?!
Xiao Lou's face was a little pale. He took a step back, looked at the cold sarcophagus in front of him, and said, "I suspect that the sarcophagus contains the woman in the mural. She was still alive when she was put into the coffin."
That's why she struggled fiercely and so much blood seeped out from inside the coffin.
Everyone just felt cold all over.
Put a living person into a coffin and bury it in the ground, and she will experience fear, pain, hunger... until the final despair.
Who has truly experienced the feeling of waiting to die?
Xiao Lou took a deep breath, looked back at his teammates, and said word by word: "This ancient tomb should be a live burial tomb. The coffins on Ye Qi's side are probably women buried alive. The owner of the tomb buried these women alive.
We also created a secret room with six paths of reincarnation, which is probably a kind of...priest ritual?"
Sure enough, Ye Qi's voice came to his ears again: "There is a lot of blood on the sarcophagus!"
Xiao Lou's speculation was confirmed.
In the auxiliary tombs on the east and west sides, there are two women buried alive.
If you want to decipher this maze of ancient tombs, you must find the main tomb chamber and know the identity of the tomb owner and the meaning of the priestly rituals.
Xiao Lou said: "Everyone, let's move on."
At this moment, the sarcophagus behind everyone suddenly shook violently, and there was a sharp and harsh sound of nails sliding on the stone surface. The originally solidified black blood on the sarcophagus instantly turned bright red, as if it had just been shed.
It comes out the same.
Lu Jiuchuan leaned closer and said: "Fake corpse?!"
