Taoism moves mountains

Chapter 180 The Dangerous Xuan Dao Bridge

Min Gushao looked at the mural on the right and began to explain.

"It seems to be about a group of miraculous people. In the Chu State, people used a bead-like magic weapon..."

"Muchen Divine Pearl!" Hua Ling'er exclaimed.

Indeed, even Min Gushao was shocked. He stared blankly at the pattern on the mural that was similar to Muchen's Divine Bead.

He never expected that it would be the Chu people who brought the Muchen Divine Pearl, the Central Plains jewel, to Southern Xinjiang.

Jiang Yang didn't know whether the content of the mural could be believed, but the Muchen Divine Pearl was indeed collected by King Xian at that time.

In other words, the strange people who helped the Chu people in their conquests were King Xian who had not yet become king. He should have helped the Chu people establish the ancient Dian Kingdom after he obtained the Muchen Divine Pearl.

"It seems that the Dragon Bone Book is true. Everything the clues point to comes true." Chen Yugan said with emotion.

"Well, I hope there is more useful information in the tomb of King Dian." Jiang Yang also became energetic at this time.

The five people continued to walk down. There were no traps in the hundred-meter-long downward curved corridor.

"There is no mechanism. Do you think there will be a big move waiting for us below?" Chen Yugan asked jokingly.

"There must be a tomb-protecting entrance hall. After all, this place was built by Taoist masters. Some crossbow and arrow mechanisms that are not suitable for use on the table will not be installed." Jiang Yang explained.

"Uh..." These words made Chen Yuguan feel a little ashamed.

The crossbow mechanism is still not on the table?

He remembered that when he was at Bottle Mountain, the Wengcheng made him suffer a lot.

"That's not right! Isn't the Ancient Tomb at Pingshao Mountain also the Fangshidan Palace? Then how come there is an Wengcheng?" Chen Yugan asked doubtfully.

“The Dan Palace belongs to the Song Dynasty, the ancient tombs of Yuan generals were only built on this basis, and the Wengcheng should have been built later.

The Qingwuzi Ancient Tomb and Li Chunfeng Ancient Tomb that I experienced later were both Taoist masters, and their tombs did not contain crossbows, arrows or other weapons. "

Jiang Yang recalled his previous experience and answered with great certainty.

After hearing this, Chen Yuguan and Min Gushao both pondered and recalled the past, feeling that that was what happened.

Most of the ancient tombs built by Taoist masters used the magic of the Book of Changes and Taoist secrets to build the tombs. Such tomb-protecting entrances are even more mysterious.

Therefore, it is not wrong to say that the crossbow mechanism cannot be used on the table.

There is a large stone room in one part of the corridor. Jiang Yang and the others can easily enter!
  In the stone chamber, in addition to some living utensils used by ancient people in the corners, there are four sarcophagi placed in the middle.

The appearance of these four sarcophagi is very simple, and there is nothing worth seeing.

As experienced tomb robbers, Jiang Yang and others could guess that the sarcophagus contained the tomb keeper.

If you want to find gold and jade treasures from here, don’t even think about it!

The coffins of gravekeepers are usually pristine!
  The five people exited the big stone room and continued walking down.

After walking down the corridor, they finally saw the real tomb passage, which was the mysterious passage before the main hall.

The entrance is easy to enter, but the mysterious way is life-threatening.

Unless they are careful, the real danger begins now!
  This Xuandao is a bridge two meters wide and about thirty meters long, with deep cliffs wide apart on both sides.

Jiang Yang took out a finely crafted flashlight, which had a lighting range of 100 meters and was just able to illuminate the situation under the deep cliff.

I saw water under the cliff.

"It turns out there is a pool below!" Chen Yuguan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw there was a pool below the cliff.

Just when they were about to breathe a sigh of relief, the water in the pool suddenly rolled, and a huge water monitor emerged from the water and appeared in the light.

"Hiss!" Even Chen Yuguan took a breath of air.

Because the water lizard is so big!
  The two sapphire-green eyes are as big as a basin, and if the long white jaws are fully opened, there is no problem in swallowing a person.

Therefore, it is very dangerous to fall down.

Fortunately, the cliffs were moist and smooth, so the water monitor below couldn't climb up.

If someone fell from such a high distance, even though there would be water as a buffer, they would still be seriously injured. Faced with the mutated giant water monitor, life or death would be unpredictable. As expected, the underground pool should be connected to the lake outside. Otherwise, how could this water monitor survive until now?

"How do we get through here?" Min Gushao looked around and found nothing out of the ordinary. Opposite was an empty platform and a large stone door, which made people feel as if there was no danger.

"Look up there!" Jiang Yang said, pointing in the direction of the lighting.

Min Gushao and others looked up and saw what was suspected to be a mummy hanging from the top of the bridge.

"What is that?" Hua Ling'er asked.

"If you guessed correctly, what hangs on it should be the cocoon made by the ancient Dian country's art. It is an insect raised on flesh and blood corpses." Jiang Yang explained to them.

Min Gushao frowned, because he looked at those hanging upside down like human corpses.

He had also heard about the evil arts of the ancient Dian Kingdom. The flesh and blood corpses used were both animal and human.

Obviously, a Taoist master would not do such a thing that goes against the harmony of nature, but the kings of any dynasty were not 100% at the mercy of the alchemists and had their own set of opinions.

"Poisonous insects? This place has been closed for more than two thousand years, so they are probably dead, right?" Chen Yuguan guessed.

Jiang Yang shook his head and said earnestly: "The ancient Dian Kingdom's evil magic is very magical. Those poisonous insects fed on carrion will fall into a long-term sleep when there is no meat close to them. Even if two thousand years have passed, they will not die. Wait. When meat comes close again, they will wake up.

I'm afraid this bridge is the mechanism to liberate the cocoons above. Once those stone bricks are stepped on incorrectly, the cocoons above will fall off, and then the poisonous insects will wake up. "

Hearing what Jiang Yang said, the others' expressions also became serious.

Min Gushao walked to the front of the bridge and squatted down, and then looked at the stone bricks of the bridge. He saw that the stone bricks were very smooth and could not see any abnormalities.

After watching for a while, he stood up and shook his head several times to show that he couldn't see anything.

Jiang Yang said at this time: "Turn off the flashlight first."

Chen Yuguan was a little surprised, but he still turned off the flashlight, and everyone else also turned off the flashlight.

All of a sudden, the surroundings became dark.

Unexpectedly, the stone bricks on the bridge appeared strange, and some stone bricks emitted a faint blue light.

"I understand." Min Gushao suddenly realized.

"What's going on?" Chen Yugan asked doubtfully.

"It's fluorite, and those glowing things are fluorite. Fluorite has the ability to store light. We just illuminated those stone bricks with a flashlight. Even if we turn off the flashlight, the fluorite can still emit light for a short period of time. After a while, it will Return to the original state." Min Gushao explained with a slight smile.

"Oh, then should we avoid those glowing stone bricks, or should we step on the glowing stone bricks?" After listening to Min Gushao's explanation, Chen Yuguan nodded and continued to ask.

He saw that the glowing stone bricks were not arranged in any regular order, and then asked.

"One, two, three..." Hua Ling'er counted the glowing stone bricks softly.

Others were confused and didn't know what Hua Ling'er was counting.

"Seventy-two! I know how to get there. I should avoid those glowing stone bricks." Hua Ling'er said confidently after counting the glowing stone bricks.

Jiang Yang saw this and praised with a smile: "Hua Ling is getting smarter and smarter!"

"Hehe!" After receiving the compliment, Hua Ling'er smiled with satisfaction.

"What do you mean?" Hong Guliang was anxious again at this time. She really couldn't stand Jiang Yang and the others playing riddles.

"Those glowing stone bricks should correspond to the things hanging upside down from the top. If you step on the glowing stone bricks and trigger the mechanism, the cocoons on them will fall down." Seeing that his wife was anxious, Min Gushao explained. Get up, when Hua Ling'er was counting, he reacted!
  "Yes, I just noticed that the number of those evil cocoons is also seventy-two. Here it refers to the seventy-two earth evil stars in the Big Dipper cluster called the Taoist star, which means the earth evil god who protects the pass! It is indeed a Taoist The mechanism arranged by the master is just that the things on it have been replaced." Jiang Yang turned on the flashlight and explained by shining the callus on the top.

"Good guy! If you were an ordinary person, you would definitely know how to do it." Chen Yuguan said happily.

Needless to say, this Xuan Dao Bridge is indeed dangerous.

Generally speaking, when a tomb robber comes here, he will only worry about falling off the cliff, and will not turn off the lighting tools. Even if he finds something strange at the top, he may not know how to take precautions.

Or they may arrange dead soldiers to go through the mines, but as long as one cocoon falls, the thousands of poisonous insects inside will be very difficult to deal with, not to mention that a chain reaction may occur, causing other cocoons to also fall.

The consequences are absolutely serious.
