Wanderer of the whirling world

Chapter 127 Entering the Ancient Tomb for the First Time
The moment the stone gate was opened, a strong red light radiated from the inside, like the sun rising from the east, shining brilliantly, illuminating the huge cave so brightly that people couldn't keep their eyes open.

A huge phantom with the head of a human and the body of a bird soared into the sky from the stone gate and galloped towards the cave.

Everyone was startled, Xu Liangzhanzhao and others quickly drew out their swords and swords, and prepared to deal with the enemy vigilantly.

But the phantom of this divine beast rushed into the midair, only stayed for a short moment, and then exploded brilliantly like fireworks, divided into countless tiny light spots, and shot into the bodies of everyone present.

Everyone was shocked and hurriedly checked their bodies, but after the light spot entered the body, they didn't feel any discomfort.

What's even more amazing is that each of them had a feeling of spiritual connection with the beast behind the stone gate, as if they had only been officially recognized and invited to enter by the ancient tomb until this moment.

This kind of wonderful feeling is mysterious and mysterious, and everyone can't help sighing. They didn't expect the warlocks of the Warring States Period more than 1000 years ago to be so clever.

This kind of mechanical technique is close to the Taoist method of the immortal family, which is incredible.

At this time, the light behind the stone door faded away, revealing another dark corridor, and the golden tablet on the door was also bounced out, and fell to the ground with a clang, and was picked up by Hong Taiwei, who still put it in his arms .

He looked very calm at this time, holding a torch in his hand and said to the crowd:
"Everyone, it looks like this is the entrance to the treasures of the ancient tomb. Let's not waste any time and go in quickly."

As he spoke, he took the lead and walked into the tunnel first.

When the other people saw the Taiwei daring forward, they were naturally unwilling to lag behind. They cheered up one after another, filed in with incomparable curiosity, and followed into the corridor.

After everyone went in, about a meal time later, the stone door creaked and closed automatically again, isolating the inside and outside, only the image of Xuan Ming on it was still shining with flowing brilliance.

……

Half an hour later, another group of people broke in from outside the cave, all of them were dressed in short jackets and armed with weapons, they were all dressed as martial arts people.

The hair and clothes of these people were full of dirt and gravel, and they looked dusty and disheveled.

But as soon as they entered the cave, they all showed excited smiles at the same time.

The leader is white hair like frost, long beard as snowy as snow, but ruddy and smooth like a baby. It is Hu Shixiu, the leader of the Lotus Sect.

He saw the jade tablet and the stone gate in the cave, he sneered and said:
"Hmph, it seems that the people of Kaifeng Mansion have indeed solved the calculation problem in advance, and entered the ancient tomb before us. It's not too late. Let's go in quickly, so as not to be preempted by others and take advantage of it."

Speaking to a middle-aged swordsman with a long sword on his back and a hooked nose, he said:

"Ding Jianke, the old man has fulfilled his promise to bring you people from the Tianshu Pavilion into the ancient tomb through the secret passage. Now please take out your golden tablet and open the door."

It turned out that these were the allied forces of the Lotus Sect and Tianshu Pavilion. They did not walk from the ground, but followed the tunnel dug long ago, bypassing the entrance of the Daxiangguo Temple, avoiding the guards of the government, and directly Came to the corridor leading to the underground cave.

The corridor leading to the cave here is narrow and narrow, which is not suitable for deploying troops to guard, and the Song Dynasty government could not have imagined that someone could open a tunnel directly from the bottom of Wuyou Cave, so they only guarded the ground and ignored the underground, which made Hu Shixiu Taking advantage of the loophole, he led people to the gate of the ancient tomb without anyone noticing.

The middle-aged swordsman Ding Ping saw the stone gate on the wall and the Xuanming pattern lit up on it, and knew that Hu Shixiu had not lied to him, so he was delighted. He walked to the stone gate and found the corresponding divine beast pattern. He took out the gold slip and inserted it in.

The same scene was staged again, in the dazzling red light, a phantom with the head of a tiger and the body of an ox with wings on its back rushed into the cave, and turned into a little bit of starlight amidst the horrified expressions of everyone, sprinkled on everyone's body.

The people present were all the top figures in the martial arts world. I have seen many great winds and waves, but no matter how high the martial arts are, they are only mortal bodies. When they have seen such supernatural and magical power, they were all stunned on the spot.

Only Xiao Shen who was beside Ding Ping remained blank, but there was a strange excitement in his eyes.

After the phantom of the divine beast dissipated, the stone door opened in response, this time revealing the red light curtain behind it, like a thin translucent water curtain, constantly fluctuating, distorting the scenery behind it, making it difficult to see clearly.

Ding Ping said with a serious face:

"Everyone, there are images of four divine beasts on it. The Kaifeng Mansion opened one, we opened the other, and the other two are dimmed. Obviously, there are still two keys left outside. I wonder if there will be other hidden treasures this time." The forces in the dark are sneaking in and trying to make things difficult for us, so please be careful."

Xiao Shen added calmly:

"The key in Kaifeng Mansion's hand corresponds to the divine beast Xuanming, and the image we opened is the divine beast Qiongqi. Now there are Bai Ze and Gouchen on the stone gate. As for the difference between choosing different divine beasts, we will discuss them later. unknown."

Hu Shixiu laughed and said:
"Swordsman Ding is really cautious. This golden tablet key is extremely precious. How can it be so easy to get it? Even if there are outsiders who come, with so many first-class masters of ours joining forces, even the three heroes and five righteous people are not in our eyes. Who can be afraid of?"

Hearing this, Ding Ping thought that Hu Shixiu seemed a little overconfident today, and suddenly asked:

"Boss Hu said yes, by the way, the three seniors of your faction, Youquan, Mingquan and Yaoquan, seem to have not arrived yet. Do you want to wait for them?"

Hu Shixiu shook his head:
"Several leaders of our faction have temporary errands, so we won't come this time. Since the Kaifeng Mansion doesn't bring any troops, we can handle it, and we don't need to bother them."

Ding Ping smiled noncommittally and said:
"In this case, let's not delay, let's go in quickly."

After he finished speaking, he still stood there, motionless, obviously not wanting to be the first to enter this unknown ancient tomb.

Hu Shixiu also had the same thought. He was about to wink at his subordinates and ask them to explore the way, but he saw Xiao Shen walking to the opened stone gate without looking back, stepping in, and his figure instantly disappeared into the light. In the curtain.

Ding Ping seemed to have no doubts about Xiao Shen's choice, seeing him enter the light curtain without saying a word, he no longer hesitated, and said to Hu Shixiu:

"Boss Hu, who among us is advanced?"

The leaders on both sides have ulterior motives and don't trust each other. Hu Shixiu is afraid that the people from Tianshu Pavilion will go in first, and then launch a sneak attack when his own people enter, but if his side goes in first, he is afraid that the people from Tianshu Pavilion will attack them. The Lotus Sect disciples who stayed in the cave acted.

So he said:

"Ding Jianke, let's not distinguish between each other. You enter one and we enter the other. How about it? You and I are the last to enter."

Ding Ping was just as he thought, although the two sides formed an alliance, and they would not turn against each other before finding the treasure, but he was careful not to make a big mistake, so he nodded in agreement.

Just like that, dozens of people on both sides entered the light curtain one by one.

Ding Ping was the last one to step into the stone gate. The moment his body was submerged in the light curtain, he only felt the surrounding scenery blur like water ripples. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he found that his group was already standing in an antique gazebo.

He looked around, and saw that this place was a huge courtyard with nine turns of corridors, carved beams and painted buildings, and chiseled golden cornices, shining brightly under the sunlight, so exquisite that it was not like anything in the world.

The gazebo they were in was surrounded by long corridors, some leading to houses, and some leading to other pavilions, with twists and turns, and they couldn't see the edge at a glance.

Below the corridor, there is a pool of crystal clear water, in which there are a large number of carps swimming leisurely and looking for food, which is peaceful.

Ding Ping was shocked, could this be Lord Xinling's ancient tomb?
According to his thinking, since it is a tomb, it should be a closed space, dark and gloomy, and there may be various traps and traps for killing people, so as to prevent outsiders from robbing the tomb.

But right now, this place is like a luxurious emperor's palace, or the garden of a wealthy family, where does it look like a tomb?
What's even more strange is that the blue sky and white clouds here, the sun is shining brightly, and it's not deep in the ground at all. Could it be that they came to another world in just one step?
Also, Lord Xinling's ancient tomb has gone through thousands of years, how can the water in the pond be so clear, there are even carp in it, is there another source of water here, or someone can't take care of it?
A series of questions made him feel very surprised, and when he looked at other people, he found the same puzzled expression, and he was stunned by the scene in front of him.

After thinking about it, he couldn't affect morale at this time, so he pretended to be relaxed and said:

"Everyone, this ancient tomb is indeed a bit strange, but since it was built by ancient warlocks, it must have its magic. Let's explore this courtyard, it's better than being a tomb robber in the dark underground, isn't it? "

Hu Shixiu also said:

"Hmph, we are all martial arts practitioners, we are not afraid of heaven and earth, not to mention there is no ghost hiding here, and it is too late to quit now."

It turns out that there is no exit to the outside world, and the light curtain in the stone gate is not bidirectional. After everyone enters, they appear here out of thin air, and it is impossible to go back the same way.

On the Tianshu Pavilion side, Fairy Jinling, the patriarch of the Doumu Sect, frowned and said:

"There is no way back here. Could it be that we are all going to die here? Ding Ping, you never said that this ancient tomb is so evil."

Ding Ping glanced at her, before he had time to speak, Xiao Shen on the side replied first:
"Don't be afraid, Senior Fairy Jinling. Since this ancient tomb is designed for people to come in, there is a way for people to go out. Since everyone has brought dry food and water, let's explore slowly, and there is no need to rush."

Fairy Jin Ling seemed to be quite afraid of Xiao Shen, and she didn't say anything after hearing what he said.

Liu Yuanzhang of the Lotus School looked indifferent, leaned on the railing, looked into the pool, and said with a smile:

"There is water here, and the carp are plump. It looks like we don't have to worry about eating and drinking even if we are stuck here for ten days and half a month."

As he spoke, he took out a small piece of bread from his bosom, crushed it and threw it into the water.

Several carp immediately gathered around and competed for food, and some of them jumped out of the water, as if they were very spiritual.

Liu Yuanzhang laughed loudly, and reached out to grab one of the golden carp.

But the leaping carp opened its mouth, revealing its white teeth, and bit Liu Yuanzhang fiercely.

Liu Yuanzhang's face changed, and he quickly stopped, but the carp was so fast that it bit his index finger.

Blood gushed out immediately, and he screamed in pain.

"call out!"

There was a sound of breaking through the air, and something flew out, stuck on the carp's head, and immediately pierced through it. The carp struggled twice before it died, but its teeth still clenched Liu Yuanzhang's finger tightly.

When everyone looked at it, they saw that it was a bamboo hairpin stuck on the head of the fish.

It turned out that when Hu Shixiu saw Liu Yuanzhang was bitten, he killed the carp with the hairpin on his head in desperation.

The carp has thick scales on the outside, which are not slippery, and the meat is extremely tough, but he shot it through with only a blunt and fragile bamboo hairpin. This internal strength is shocking.

Everyone in Tianshu Pavilion could not help but be secretly horrified and admired after seeing it.

Liu Yuanzhang violently broke the carp's mouth with his other hand, and then took out his fingers.

Under the sunlight, his fingers were bloody and his bones were exposed.

He was extremely angry and threw the carp carcass into the pond. Other carp swarmed up and gnawed at the flesh and blood of the same species. In a short while, a large swath of deep red appeared in the pond, and the golden carp was also torn into pieces. After the minced meat, there is not even a bone scum left.

Everyone looked at each other, and they could see fear in each other's eyes.

Only then did they realize that this was not a carp at all, but a huge school of piranhas.

Although this ancient tomb looks lively, it actually contains countless murderous intentions.

……

Just after these people entered the ancient tomb, another group of people came in the cave outside.

The leader is a woman, full of charm, walking slowly in front of the stone gate with lotus steps, she is the bright moon of the Huangquan clan.

Beside her, Persian Huo Shan and several other masters of the Assassin faction were all dressed in black hooded cloaks, covering their faces and appearing mysterious.

Jiaoyue looked at the two divine beast patterns that had been lit up on the stone gate, looked them up and down carefully, with a complicated expression, and didn't know what she was thinking.

Huo Shan said reverently:

"Master Prophet is really powerful. We have been hiding in the capital for a long time, but we have never heard of such a tunnel leading to the ancient tomb."

Jiaoyue glanced at him and said with a smile:

"I have an expert to remind me. There are still many things you don't know. The ugly words are up front. After entering, everything must be arranged by me. You can't act without authorization, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless."

Huo Shan bowed deeply and said:

"Master Prophet took us to find the 'Lost Holy Land', we are too grateful, how could we not obey orders?"

Bright Moon said softly with a smile:

"Just know, follow me..."

As he said that, he took out the golden tablet with the pattern of Bai Ze in his arms, and inserted it into the hole in the stone gate...
