Chapter 29 The door of life and death
When I came back, I accidentally heard a terrifying sound in the cave. The sound was like a devil crawling out of hell, wailing. Although it was broad daylight, it made me feel chilled. Seeing that the cave was pitch black, I was really panicked.
I suddenly felt a sense of fear surrounding me, and I quickly accelerated my pace to return to the tent. Liu Xing asked me where I went and it took me so long to come back.
Oh! I went to Yuan Yingying's place, and I told her about her father. My answer made Liu Xing seem to see that I had something to do in my heart and kept asking me what was wrong.
I told him what happened when I passed by the cave entrance just now, and he comforted me and said: Xiaobai, don’t think too much. You may be too tired and should have a good rest. We came out from there before, and we didn’t hear any strange sounds. You must have been hallucinating.
I hope, maybe I'm too tired, maybe it's really auditory hallucinations. I want to sleep for a while, but I fell asleep on the folding bed. Damn it, don't want to dream, I'm really dreaming.
I rushed to the cave in a daze. As soon as I reached the entrance of the cave, a strange wind blew out in front of me, and my whole body suddenly felt cold. I felt like I was sucked in by a piece of iron sucking stone, and I seemed to hear someone laughing and someone crying.
The laughter made people feel so terrible, the crying sound was so miserable, Bai Jiangzuo came over, when I came to me, I heard someone calling me, and it was a woman. Suddenly, I saw a woman with disheveled hair appear in front of me.
She turned her back to me, no, to be precise, her hair covered her face, and her miserable voice sounded again: Bai Jiangzuo came over, come here, and took me away, just to see her stretching out her dry arm and heading straight for me, as if I was stuck by something and couldn't move.
Just as she was about to catch me, a sound of horse hooves suddenly came from the hole. The sound was getting closer and closer. I vaguely saw a man riding a tall horse running to me, getting closer and closer. This time I could see his terrifying look clearly.
He was wearing a silver-white armor, a red cloak, and a long knife in his hand, but the guy had no head. His tall horse ran and his horse's hooves were still on fire.
As he approached, he waved his long sword and chopped off the female ghost's head. The female ghost seemed to be burned by flames and turned into ashes in pain. I looked at him with fear. I thought he was here to help me, but I didn't expect that he raised the long sword again and slashed at me hard. I was suddenly awakened.
I was so scared that I was sweating all over and breathing heavily. It took me a long time to recover. Liu Xing and others gathered around and asked if I was dreaming again.
The fat man said to everyone: It's over, Xiaobai has a nightmare. Every nightmare will become a reality. Let's not go to the tomb tomorrow, and maybe you will encounter unclean things.
I was about to scold the fat man, but then I thought that what the fat man said was right. Every time I dreamed, I was so accurate, and I was still really afraid of dreaming.
I was wondering in my heart whether I would meet that guy when I was in the tomb tomorrow, and who was he?
The next morning, the air on the mountain was so nice and very fresh. I occasionally heard the chirping of birds. I got up early and ran around the camp to exercise.
I saw Miss Yuan practicing Tai Chi, and she was really good at playing. After Tai Chi, she started dancing the sword again. The sword danced like a dragon and a phoenix dance. I really couldn't tell that Miss Yuan was really extraordinary and had skill in kung fu.
I was about to leave but she discovered it. Since Mr. Bai has come, why should I leave? When I heard her voice, I replied embarrassedly: I have just passed by here. I am so embarrassed to disturb Miss Yuan. I really can't tell. Miss Yuan also knows Chinese martial arts.
I have loved to dance with swords and guns since I was a child. My mother said that I was like a boy and didn’t have the temperament of a girl, which made Mr. Bai laugh.
without
Is there any? I think there are too many mysterious things about Miss Yuan and I have always wanted to find an opportunity to understand it carefully.
Mr. Bai is really good at joking. There is nothing mysterious about me. I am just an ordinary person. I am just a better family, but I have never been proud of this.
Miss Yuan, I think the time is almost over, so we should set off. I have to go back and prepare for it. See you later.
Well, I think so too. Go to the tomb as soon as possible to avoid the nights and dreams. Then Mr. Bai, let’s see you later.
When we returned to the tent, we cleaned up briefly, ate something, and gathered in the center of the camp. This time, Yuan Yingying only brought about half of the people, and there were about 15 people, plus 6 of us, we were exactly 21 people. After allocating our equipment, we set off.
The camp was very close to the cave, and it was soon there. When I saw this cave, I remembered the dream I had yesterday. A strange wind blew on my body, blowing coldly.
After walking in the cave for a long time, I felt very surprised when I saw a tomb door in front of me. When I came out from here last time, there was no door here, so why did there be one more door?
Yuan Yingying ordered her two men to push the tomb door, and the two men easily pushed the tomb door open. When the tomb door opened, I felt gloomy and dark, and it was so dark that I couldn't see clearly.
Yuan Yingying signaled the two people to go in and take a look. The two people shone in the flashlight. This was a large round tomb with many doors around it, but there was a thick layer of fog on the ground. I was curious about how fog appeared here.
The two of them walked into the tomb together. When they reached the middle of the tomb, they signaled that we were not at risk and could come in with confidence. Before we could go in, a terrible thing happened.
The two men seemed to have stepped on something. They could only hear a whizzing sound, and many arrows were shot from the walls on all sides. I shouted loudly: It's a trap, but the two men reacted slowly. They were shot to death and were covered with arrows.
After a long time, there were no more arrows shot out on the wall. It was really unlucky that the two of them died as soon as they entered the tomb. Everyone else was frightened, only Yuan Yingying was calmer.
What is Mr. Bai doing now? I don’t know if there is any mechanism here. When Yuan Yingying asked me, I was quite confused.
I really don't know how to answer her, but when I came back last, there was no such tomb at all. Did I go wrong again?
Miss Yuan had triggered the mechanism just now, and there would be no more, so she could come in.
When he entered the tomb, Yuan Yingying saw the two dead subordinates and told the others that when he went out, he would give their family more money. Yuan Yingying was quite humane.
The question is here. There are many doors here. I don’t know which door is true. The novel "Grave Robbers" tells about many examples of a tomb chamber, divided into the door of life and the door of death.
There are eight doors here, only one is true, and the others are false. If you turn it wrong, it will be dangerous. I feel confused. It is the first time I have seen such a door.
Liu Xing took out the book "Feng Shui Yin and Yang Jue" and opened the 30th page. Here we talk about the eight gates of life and death. The eight gates are divided into Xiumen, Shengmen, Shunmen, Dumen, Jingmen, Death Gate, Jingmen, and Openmen.
Generally speaking, opening the door, Sheng door, Xiu door belongs to good luck, death door, Jing door, injury belongs to bad luck, Dumen and Jingmen belong to Zhongping. In other words, only three doors can be passed.
The door is located in the northwest Gan Palace, and the five elements belong to metal, and the first of the eight trigrams of Qiankun. In fact, this tomb chamber is designed based on the eight trigrams. As long as you find the right direction, you can find the door to go out.
Liu Xing took out the compass and walked around the tomb chamber, but for some reason, the compass was not working well. Liu Xing told us that there might be a large magnetic field disturbing here.
It seems we have to touch
We took a chance, and finally we chose one of the doors on the right, but no one dared to open them. At the critical moment, it was Wang Meng. Wang Meng walked to the door and pushed it hard to open it. We all looked at the door nervously.
Suddenly the tomb shaking, I felt bad, and the mechanism was triggered, so I quickly asked Wang Meng to come back, and then I heard a clattering sound, as if something was about to come out.
I finally saw clearly that it was skeleton soldiers. Some of them were wearing armor and spears, some with shields and knives, and some with bows and arrows.
These skeleton soldiers attacked us directly. We picked up our guns and fired them. They were broken into pieces and many skeleton soldiers continued to come out of the door.
We have encountered the Skeleton Legion. After the bullets were fired, we had no time to change the magazines and could only attack physically. Yuan Yingying is really a man, and she actually killed many Skeleton soldiers with a short knife.
The fat man punched the skeleton soldier's head, and only saw that the skeleton soldier turned his head several times, and he kept biting it up and down. Wang Meng cut off the skeleton soldier's head with a knife and scolded the fat man, you are still fucking interested in playing.
After more than ten minutes of fighting, the skeleton soldiers finally defeated, but a few of us were shot to death by the skeleton soldiers and archers. Yuan Yingying lost several more people, which made her feel very distressed. She was alive before, but now she is dead in front of her.
Several people on Yuan Yingying's side were shaken and wanted to leave. Finally, they stayed with Yuan Yingying's persuasion.
No one dares to move that door now. I guess he is afraid. It would be great if the guy was there. He could help us get out of the predicament, but unfortunately he is not there.
Now we can't be frozen here. The more we are, the more dangerous it is. It's better to take the risk and try other doors, which may be alive.
Although they opposed it after hearing what I said, they finally decided to give it a try. They chose a door in the center of the tomb. Wang Meng went to open it. Wang Meng pushed it open and ran back quickly, fearing that something would appear.
This time, it was indeed the Death Gate. A giant bug came out from it. The bug was like a scarab. Everyone stared at the bug. The bug spitted a bite of yellow stuff on one of the people's face.
I only saw that the person's face was corroded by sulfuric acid. He fell to the ground and rolled on the ground in pain. I saw the insect stretching out its hook-like claws and piercing directly into the person's head. Damn, it turned out that the insect was sucking the person's brain.
Seeing this, Yuan Yingying raised her gun angrily and shot at the insect. The others also followed her. The insect was beaten and green liquid was revealed all over her body.
The bug may be angry. Its roar made my ears extremely uncomfortable. I suddenly felt a little dizzy. The bug vomited a few more mouthfuls of yellow liquid, but unfortunately someone was still caught.
The insects kept sucking the attracted brains. Just when everyone had no choice, a round and smoke-filled thing flew over and fell directly under the insect. With a loud bang, we were pushed to the ground by the explosion shock wave before we could dodge.
The damn bug was blown to pieces, and a lot of green liquid splashed on us. Someone heard a scolding: Damn, who put the grenade, almost blown me to death.
Qin Baichuan said: I put it on. If I didn’t use a grenade, this guy would be right at all, and everyone would die.
Qin Baichuan is worthy of being a soldier, and even throwing grenades is so accurate. Now the insects have been killed, and six or seven people have died of Yuan Yingying. This has a very big blow to Yuan Yingying. If this continues, it will be crazy.
This life and death gate made us stop. Some people almost retreated. Even I myself was about to lose confidence. Liu Xing was still trying to find a way to open the door. If there was no strong magnetic field here, the compass would not fail and we would not be so passive.
