Chapter 1372 The pit is 358 meters deep, the finale is around the point
Chapter 1372 The pit is 358 meters deep, the finale (eight) is around ten o'clock
Darkness engulfed the tomb.
The sparks of the wind lantern move forward slowly.
The scene keeps changing, but it never seems to change.
Beyond the boundless darkness, there is still boundless darkness.
Mo Jiu, Xiao Qian, old man Lu Ji, Zounan, Chuangbei, Xixi, Xue Fang, and a large group of guards and Mohist disciples were walking in a file in the narrow cemetery. After walking for an unknown amount of time, the guard of Nan Rong who was leading the way suddenly stopped.
"Khan, Juzi!"
He turned his head suddenly, his eyes were in the dim light of the fire, with a strange color, and his face seemed to be green.
"That's right, it's just ahead—"
Here, the space has become much more spacious.
In the cold air, there is a damp musty and rotten smell...
It is also the unique smell in the old tomb. To the grave explorers, it is no different from a wild animal smelling its prey.
Mo Jiu contrasted for a moment, glanced at the guard, and slowly walked forward.
Enter a stone door that has been destroyed, and inside is the tomb.At first glance, the area of the tomb is quite large, and there are varying degrees of damage from the entrance to the foundation of the tomb. The sporadic tomb walls also have signs of collapse. Withstood the violent shock just now.
But there was no one in this shocking tomb.
Song Xi, Fang Jiran and their elite attendants were not there.
Mo Jiu walked around the tomb, checked it out, and turned to Xiao Qian with a slight smile.
"This tomb is the tomb of the ancestor of the Mo family."
"Tomb? Where is the tomb?" Chi Xi walked faster than Xiao Qian, leaning on his sword to look around, "Why didn't I see the coffin? Can a place without a coffin be called a tomb?"
Mo Jiu beckoned to her, asked her to stand in her place, and then lowered her head to let her look at the stone slab under her feet.
"Look here, the coffin was originally parked here."
"Is there?" Chi Xi bent over and looked at it with a lantern.
There were dense figures on the ground, swaying non-stop in the firelight.But although the light is not strong, the imprints left after something has been removed on the blue board that has been full of traces of time are very obvious.
"That's right, this mark is fresh." Chi Xi looked up at Mo Jiu in admiration, "Then Master Jiu, where is the coffin? Where did the coffin go?"
Mo Jiu pondered for a moment, then looked up at the zenith, "It just disappeared when the mechanism was activated."
People in ancient times were very concerned about their own affairs. Since the ancestors of the Mo family had designed such a way to switch on the mechanism, they certainly didn't want their bodies to be damaged.Once the mechanism was opened, the coffin must have been moved to another safe place.
With a sound of oh, Chi Xi asked: "Then what shall we do now? Did those people go to the Qiankun Tomb?"
In this stone room, no way out or mechanism has been found so far, and everyone is a bit at a loss.
But Mo Jiu looked around for a week, but he blinked and smiled slyly.
"I guess so."
"That is to say, the tomb of Qiankun is indeed with this tomb?"
Mo Jiu hummed, pursed her lips and said, "When people are protecting something, they will subconsciously put the most important thing by their side, thinking that this is the safest way. I think the ancestors of the Mo family probably thought the same way. The Qiankun tomb must be the gossip tomb that our ancestors attached great importance to, so I simply moved them to my home..."
"Master Jiu is saying... this is really the tomb of Qiankun?"
"No, this is just the entrance to Qiankun's tomb. Take my main tomb as the tomb door of Qiankun's tomb, the tomb within the tomb, probably like this."
Mo Jiu finished explaining with a smile, then pointed to some stone blocks in the tomb, "Liulang, what are those?"
The piers are all made of stone and covered with a layer of iron sheet. The workmanship is exquisite, but there is nothing unusual about it.
Everyone shook their heads to express their ignorance, but Mo Jiu smiled, and stepped forward to direct the strong man Sun Zounan to move the positions of several stone piers, and then said: "The original placement of these seven stone piers should be like this. It’s just that, under the external force of the mechanism, it just changed its appearance when it toppled and rolled—now, take a look, what does it look like.”
"This, this... what does it look like?"
Everyone looked at the shape of the seven stone piers and looked at each other in blank dismay, feeling puzzled.
"The Seven Stars of the Big Dipper—" Mo Jiu said, "I read it in a book of the Mohists. The cemetery of the ancestors is a spoon-shaped, composed of Tianshu, Tianxuan, Tianji, Tianquan, Yuheng, Kaiyang, and Yaoguang. It consists of seven parts—"
"Really?" Chi Xi sighed, "It's amazing! If Master Jiu doesn't say anything, I can't even see it."
Hearing this, Mo Jiu's face darkened slightly, "It was destroyed, of course you can't see it." Speaking of this, she glanced at the place where the coffin was originally placed, and said in a cold voice: "We are a step late , They have already opened the mechanism leading to Qiankun's tomb...even, they may have found Qiankun's tomb."
"Master Jiu, tell me, will they find us and deliberately destroy the mechanism of the Big Dipper Tomb, just to prevent us from finding the Qiankun Tomb?"
Mo Jiu nodded, his eyes flickered suddenly, "But why is it so hard to get me, Mo Jiu?"
"Master Jiu, tell me quickly, what should we do?" Chi Xi's eyes were full of adoring little stars.
"Reset the mechanism. Then—" Mo Jiu sneered, "He knows it, so I naturally know it too. This tomb is in the shape of the Big Dipper, so the Qiankun Tomb will be in the corresponding position of the North Star."
"Polaris position?" Most people are confused.
Sighing, Mo Jiu explained briefly, "If you connect a straight line between Tianxuan and Tianshu at the front of the Big Dipper and extend the distance by five times, that position will be the position of Polaris."
For modern people, these are basic common sense, which any middle school student knows, but for ancient people, these principles that Mo Jiu understands are all extraordinary knowledge.After listening to her explanation and solution, and watching her sit down and draw some weird lines on the ground with a charcoal pencil, the big guys also moved accordingly, and started to "reset the mechanism" as she said.
If the agency doesn't reset, even if Mo Jiu knows how to find Qiankun's tomb, he won't be able to go there.
But it is easy to say that the organization resets, but it takes some work to do it.
It has been almost two hours since everyone restored the structure of the Big Dipper Tomb to its original state.
"Tired and hungry! I can't take it anymore."
"Would you like to eat something first?"
"Take a break, I'm exhausted!"
When they came in, everyone had dry food on them, but now that they were in the tomb, they couldn't be bothered. With Xiao Qian's permission, they sat down and began to eat dry food and drink cold water to solve their stomach problems.
Xiao Qian sat down next to Mo Jiu, handed her the steamed bun in his hand, watched her take it and gnawed it silently, without saying a word, knowing that she was disturbed, he lightly comforted her: "Ah Jiu, don't worry, even if they If you find the Qiankun Tomb, you may not be able to open it. Even if you open it, you may not be able to get the jade carvings, and even if you get all the jade carvings... you may not be able to open the altar."
Mo Jiu glanced at him sideways, "That's not necessarily the case. I suddenly felt that I underestimated Fang Jiran."
"Oh?"
"At the beginning, I thought she was just a little better than other Mo family members. In my heart, she was an existence that was inferior to even Mo Fan. Look at this situation, her level is not inferior to mine. The ancestor's tomb It is not easy to open and destroy the Big Dipper array casually at such a fast speed."
"How would Ah Jiu know, it must be her?"
Mo Jiu was startled, and then realized.
Are real women the easiest to embarrass women?
From the moment she entered the tomb, she subconsciously felt that she was fighting Fang Jiran, but she didn't think of another person.
Song Xi.
That's right, although Xiao Qian didn't mention it, she knew he was referring to him.
For this man, Mo Jiu also had countless doubts. He wondered why Song Xi didn't even guard Lin'an at this juncture. Concealing the world and crossing the sea, making a false statement... Is he the one who knows Arabic numerals, and is he the same as her, from the same era?
People who know Arabic numerals.
From the first discovery of the Bagua Tomb to the current Qiankun Tomb, this person has been with her like a shadow.
But she has never been sure... This feeling is not very good.
With her heart hanging high in her throat, she was too busy to eat, so she ate two mouthfuls of steamed buns and wrapped them in oil paper and stuffed them in her bosom. The old man Lu Ji, who couldn't move, didn't want to rest for half a second.
"Let's continue! Time is running out, we can't wait any longer!"
"Okay." Knowing that she didn't want Lu Ji to relax for a while, Xiao Qian secretly sighed, asked Chuang Bei to help Lu Ji up, walked to a safe place, and asked Mo Jiu to open the mechanism that had been reset again.
This reset method really works.
After a burst of "kuang kuang" sound of the engine running, the scene of the earth shaking and the mountains shaking and gravel flying around appeared again in the ancient tomb.It's just that this time everyone was prepared, and they all waited early in the coffin parking position, and waited for the mechanism to open, and there was an entrance extending downwards at that position, then they quickly dodged in and followed the descending steps.
Even so, there were guards who were too late to keep up, and some were hit by gravel.
There is no injury but no death, that is to say, there is no danger!
The group breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly entered the corridor along the steps.
The route and direction from this corridor to the Qiankun Tomb is exactly as Mo Jiu said, it is the easiest way to use the Big Dipper to find the Polaris.On the way, one stone room after another passed by, and the person who opened the way gradually became Mo Jiu—because walking south and north was almost dizzy by the special way of walking in the corridor, so he could only rely on Mo Jiu. Nine to lead the way.For this reason, Mo Jiu compiled a lot of knowledge for everyone. Everyone seemed to be listening to a story, listening to it with great interest, and almost forgot that this was at the bottom of the dark underground tomb.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, another corridor finally came to an end.
A spacious and huge square appeared in front of everyone. At the innermost end of the square was a towering high platform connected by steps——
"My dear! God!"
I exclaimed, this time I dare not say that Qiankun Tomb is shabby anymore.
On the four sides of the square, dragons and phoenixes are carved, gold is embedded in silver, and countless huge pillars make people feel as small as ants in it.
In the wind lamp, the steps seem to be paved with gold, shining with brilliance, and the handrails on both sides are like jade, so luxurious that it makes one's heart beat wildly.
"This is like an underground palace! The square, the small bridge, the high platform..." Everyone sighed as they walked and watched, "Is the door behind the steps leading to the main tomb?"
Mo Jiu glanced at the crowd who were fussing, and walked slowly towards the high platform under the light of the wind lantern, and said as he walked, "This tomb uses the emperor's burial method of the Zhou and Han dynasties—Huangchang tiguo. According to the present Judging from the current situation, the Qiankun Tomb should be a joint burial chamber."
"Yellow sausage, what does that mean?"
With a blank look, Mo Jiu explained lazily, "Go back and read the book—"
"Hey, Master Jiu is knowledgeable and talented, so just tell me."
It's uncomfortable to be hung up, but Mo Jiu seems to be happy to keep him hooked. Of course, there's no time to explain at this time, and he can't do without hooking his appetite.Leading the crowd forward, she focused on observing the surrounding environment without making a sound.
"The tomb passage we walked just now is actually the position of the Big Dipper, and this place is the position of the North Star I mentioned—the Qiankun Tomb." Mo Jiu walked up the steps and stopped suddenly. When Xiao Qian came to his side, he lifted his Holding the wind lantern in his hand, he pointed to a gate a few feet ahead, "Liulang, the front should be the main chamber of the Qiankun Tomb—"
Her voice was not low, and it could be heard far away in a quiet secret room.
Everyone stood beside her quietly, looking at the position she pointed at, all silent.
Because this Qiankun tomb is too big!
It is more gorgeous, spacious, and magnificent than any tomb they have seen before.
Of course, only Qiankun's tomb uses the emperor's burial method-Huangchang tiguo, that is to say, Qiankun is respected in the Bagua tomb.
"Everyone cheer up!" Mo Jiu raised his voice, and suddenly lifted his robe and stepped forward, "Let's go to the tomb—"
As soon as her voice fell, there was a burst of laughter in the dark door of the tomb where the wind lamp could not see.
"You guys are here?!"
The man's words were very flat, without surprise or resentment, just like asking an ordinary friend.
Mo Jiu paused, stopped and looked at Xiao Qian, not surprised.
They will meet Song Xi, Fang Jiran and others here at Qiankun Tomb, they have already prepared.
However, hearing Song Xi's voice so relaxed and unconcerned, Mo Jiu's heart still tensed up.
"Yes, we're here." Mo Jiu strode in, mocking with a sneer, "Aren't you disappointed that we weren't fooled by you?"
"I'm not disappointed, you guys came just in time." Song Xi's voice was faint, and his figure slowly appeared in the hazy light, making it hard to see clearly, "Eight gossip tombs, eight jade carvings of ladies, you have been looking for them for so many years. , wouldn’t it be a pity if you couldn’t see the whole thing in the end?”
"Hehe." Mo Jiupi walked into the tomb with a smile on his face, and slowly raised the lights forward with everyone, "Your people are still here, and the jade carvings are also here, isn't it the same as your people and the jade carvings on your bodies?" , are all here?... That is to say, these things belong to me, and I can read them whenever I want, so where is there any regret?"
Song Xi chuckled, his voice as soft as ever.
"You're still so confident."
"Of course. Without self-confidence, how can you live to this day?"
"The giant of the Mo family is indeed capable, but next—" Song Xi smiled lightly, turned around slowly, and stared at Mo Jiu's eyes like that, his gaze was so complicated that Mo Jiu couldn't figure it out, "I don't know that we... Who will live to have the last laugh?"
"People like you can live laughing, and of course we can too."
Mo Jiu talked to him without saying a word, and finally got close to him.
The light from the wind lantern was very dim before, and it couldn't shine very far. There was a tomb door, as if we were in two worlds.
Now that he entered the tomb, he saw that the light was so bright that the whole body of the tomb seemed to be glowing with a dark green light——
Song Xi and Fang Jiran are at the other end, while Mo Jiu and Xiao Qian are at this end.
The end of the spacious tomb can't be seen at a glance, the high ceiling and the surrounding cypress rafters are just like that.In the tomb, all kinds of exquisite and gorgeous funerary objects of different sizes and shapes are placed in such a random manner, which has no temptation for the people here.
Behind where Song Xi was standing was a high abutment, about three feet high, on which the coffin was placed, and around the abutment were seven guardian stone beasts, each placed on the position of the Big Dipper, Although each stone beast has a different shape and a different facial expression, it seems that the whole body is covered with gold. Although it is old, it has not lost its color. It looks like a new creation, which is amazing.
"meet again."
After a long silence, Song Xi spoke first.
Staring at Mo Jiu's face, a halo flashed across his indifferent cheeks.
Greeting words, like friends meeting again, like meeting for the first time in that year...
It's a pity that times have changed, and people's hearts have long since returned.
"Yes, we meet again." The person who spoke was not Mo Jiu, but Xiao Qian who was standing in front of her.
His brows were low, his eyes were like stern light, and when he looked at Song Xi, there was obviously an undercurrent surging.Sometimes the confrontation between men is very interesting, even if they don't say a word, the possessive desire will radiate from the pores all over his body, even if he is already the most respected in the world, he will still fight for the matter of Mo Jiu and Song Xi. He was so sour that he didn't want to let Mo Jiu look at him at such a time.
Mo Jiu secretly laughed in his heart, but let him do it, didn't answer, just stood by the side silently, listening to what they had to say.
In the huge tomb, there was only the wind for a while.
No one spoke for a long time, and the atmosphere became stagnant.
Song Xi seemed to understand what Xiao Qian was thinking, and suddenly smiled.
"How does it feel? Sitting in that position, you will rule the world and be invincible across the world."
"Very good." Xiao Qian calmly kept his face cold.
"Would it be too cold at a high place?"
Hearing him ask, Xiao Qian didn't answer directly this time, just stared at his slightly dark red eyes, slightly raised his lips, "I will do better than you."
"I believe this." Song Xi also smiled, "I have always believed it."
After a moment of silence, he stopped "reminiscing about the old days", glanced at Mo Jiu suddenly, and sighed heavily.
"So seek benevolence and benevolence. You have already got what you want. And why do you bother to grab what I want?"
"Because what you want is exactly what I want too." Xiao Qian answered calmly, the aura of a king was fully displayed in these ten words, which made people speechless.And after he finished speaking, he walked forward slowly, looked at the seven guardian stone beasts, and asked like a friend, "As soon as the Qiankun Tomb is opened, have you gathered all the jade carvings of ladies in the Eight Diagrams Tomb?"
"Yes. The Qiankun Tomb is missing." Song Xi didn't shy away from it. After speaking, he smiled and looked back at the stone beast. "But as you can see, the inner and outer coffins of the Qiankun Tomb haven't been opened yet."
"Oh, that's no wonder." Xiao Qian nodded and took Mo Jiu's hand, "What should we do? Are we going to rob? Or are we going to rob?"
"..." Mo Jiu was amused by his serious look, "There's no need to be so brutal. Apart from robbing, we can also cooperate."
cooperate?Everyone in the tomb was a little surprised.
There are only a few protagonists who seem to be normal, and they take the word cooperation for granted.
In fact, since they came in and the two groups got together, although the tit-for-tat situation has not changed, no one has done anything, of course, because everyone has concerns.
Mo Jiu sneered, his eyes flickered, and he looked at Song Xi, Fang Jiran and a group of guards standing beside him, and spoke slowly, "Let me tell you this, this Qiankun Tomb is not something ordinary people can open." You have only two choices, either never try to open the Qiankun Tomb, and keep the other six ladies jade carvings for home decorations; or cooperate with us, open the Qiankun Tomb together, and go to the Tiantai together..."
"What about after arriving at the Tiantai?" Fang Jiran suddenly took a step forward and asked her in a cold voice.
"Then each depends on their ability." Mo Jiu bent her lips, crossed her arms and squinted at her, "My good sister, do I need to ask this?"
Being called "good sister" by her would be embarrassing for any normal person, but Fang Jiran didn't show any discomfort.
And her face actually bears a face printed with a chess piece with Mo Jiu.
This human skin mask can almost be mistaken for the real one.
Mo Jiu snorted coldly with an indescribable shock in his heart, and looked at Song Xi, "Is there any problem with cooperation?"
Her attitude was extremely strong from the beginning to the end, but Song Xi didn't feel uncomfortable at all, instead he smiled after being glanced at by her.
"Okay... Then it's up to you."
"I have one more condition!" Mo Jiu was so powerful, he pointed at Fang Jiran's face, and said to Song Xi, "Please, let her take this skin off!"
Fang Jiran's eyes suddenly turned cold, and that pretty "Mo Jiu mask" couldn't save her ferocious face. She stared at Mo Jiu with a crazy look on her face.
"Mo Jiu, do you really think we can't open the Qiankun Tomb without you?"
"It can be opened...then you can open one for me to try?" Mo Jiu taunted.
"Don't deceive people too much!"
"Why did I bully people too much?" Mo Jiu was never annoyed when he quarreled, every word seemed to be smiling, and he looked slow, especially able to block people, "You don't know that pretending to be someone else is the most annoying thing. Is it disgusting? It’s dirty, do you know that? It’s like the underpants worn by others, you still have to pick them up and put them on, are you disgusting?”
Fang Jiran was so angry that she couldn't utter a word, her hand holding the knife was trembling.
But even so, Mo Jiu didn't stop talking, hehe sneered, and sighed bitterly.
"Also——I'll tell you. Without me, you really wouldn't be able to open the Qiankun Tomb. I'm so confident, how about it?"
"Then don't open it!" Fang Jiran almost roared, "Don't forget, Mo Jiu, without us, you wouldn't be able to get all eight ladies' jade carvings. Let's see who can spend more than the other."
"Kill you all, and I'll get it."
"Kill us, and you won't get it." Fang Jiran sneered, "You think we will carry the jade carvings of ladies with us?! Stupid!"
"Oh~ so you didn't bring it with you?" Mo Jiu suddenly realized, smiled, and squinted at her, "So, we still suffer from this cooperation. What if we get the jade carving from Qiankun's tomb together, you will feel pain Let's kill them, what can we do?" After she finished speaking, she turned her head to look at Xiao Qian, "Liu Lang, we can't do business that loses money. Otherwise, let's kill them first, then open the Qiankun Tomb, and slowly find them. Lady Jade Carving. If you really can’t find it, then it’s just... lucky if you get it, but if you lose it, it’s not hard to find it.”
She said it seriously, as if it was real.
Glancing at her, Xiao Qian answered seriously.
"Okay. Ah Jiu can do whatever she wants."
The two looked at each other, sang and chorused, understanding each other.But their affectionate appearance, which can't be splashed with water, fell into Song Xi's eyes, but it caused a gloomy look.
"Stop arguing! Let's cooperate." He was calm and indifferent: "Let's open the Qiankun Tomb together, and go to the Tiantai together."
"Don't forget, I have a condition..." Mo Jiu glanced at Fang Jiran's face.
"Miss Fang." Song Xi interrupted before she finished speaking, "Take off the mask."
Fang Jiran clenched her palms tightly.
For many years, she never took off the veiled hat that covered her face.
It was because of wearing this human skin mask that she finally had a face that looked like a fairy, so she dared to calmly show her face without wearing a hat.
Now that Mo Jiu had to force her to take off her mask on the spot, wouldn't that mean that her ugly face could no longer be concealed?To be exposed in public? !
Fang Jiran has been almost paranoid about his appearance over the years.
Therefore, Mo Jiu's request was more uncomfortable for her than letting her die.
Gritting her teeth fiercely, her cheeks trembled uncontrollably. Seeing Mo Jiu's smug lift of her chin, "Impossible."
"Pick!" Song Xi looked at her coldly, "No one cares what you look like."
Compared with taking off the mask, probably this sentence can make a person break down more.
Fang Jiran was slightly taken aback, seeing Mo Jiu's schadenfreude look, she closed her eyes hard.
"Okay. I'll pick it!"
After speaking in a trembling voice, she finally raised her hand slowly after a long time, and pulled off the mask bit by bit.
Once the mask is taken off, that face is no longer a face, it seems to be a hundred times uglier than the old woman...
She stared at Mo Jiu with vicious eyes, and she smiled coldly with tears in her eyes.
"Don't get complacent too early. One day, you will be like me. Humans are not human, ghosts are not ghosts, and men are not loved. You have been scorned by the world and have nothing."
"Don't curse me, I'm kind-hearted, I'm blessed by God, I'm not like you." When Mo Jiu said this, he took Xiao Qian's arm and smiled even more proudly, "Besides, I'm a For a person who has a genius doctor with him, what is the disfigurement? I’m afraid you will feel even more uncomfortable, my disfigurement—has been cured a long time ago.”
"Really?" Fang Jiran was startled, as if he didn't believe it.
"Of course, you don't count. How old am I? How old were you when you got the onset? I've already passed your onset age, right?"
In fact, Mo Jiu also has doubts about this matter, but she has been too busy in the past few years. She didn't find any changes in her face when she looked in the mirror every day, so she deliberately didn't think about it. Sometimes she even felt that maybe if she didn't think about it, she would never Will not be coming again.Such and such, she did not expect that after so many years, her face is indeed without any signs of disfigurement.She even had some doubts, did Xiao Qian usually give her the medicine to regulate her body, and some of them accidentally responded to the symptoms, and then removed the poison?
But her words were shocking to Ji Ran.
For many years, she has been looking forward to the day when she can be cured.
But even though Xiao Qian prepared medicine for her before, she never got better. When it came to Mo Jiu...but she didn't get sick at all.
She hated and resented, and suddenly turned her gaze to Xiao Qian, "Really? Did you really cure her?"
It has to be said that Fang Jiran is also extremely aggressive and seeks to abuse herself. Isn't she asking Xiao Qian for nothing?Even if not, can he still dismantle Mo Jiu's platform?
Therefore, she only got Xiao Qian's indifferent expression, "Yes."
"You...why don't you treat me? Didn't you promise Da Lang to take good care of me?"
Fang Jiran's hoarse words did not bring Xiao Qian's sympathy, only complete disgust.
"If you were still Fang Jiran back then, then I would. But you are not. I don't have to keep any promises to a woman with a vicious heart."
"Hahahaha, heart of a snake and a scorpion? Why am I a heart of a snake and a scorpion? Wasn't it forced by you, forced..."
Fang Jiran roared and yelled, her face was as ferocious as a ghost, and the tomb was full of resentment from her.Everyone looked at her like this, and they were all speechless, but Lu Ji frowned suddenly, as if he couldn't stand it anymore, lowered his eyelids, and urged Xiao Qian impatiently, "What time is it, do you still have time to chat your teeth? We are here to open the tomb, not to be buried with you. What to do, do it quickly."
Xiao Qian looked sideways, took a deep look at him, and the corners of his lips moved slightly, "Yes."
"That's right, little girls are fighting their skills, you say what I say, what's the point?" Lu Ji yawned and sat down on the floor, "My old man is hungry, tired and sleepy, hurry up point, after driving out, you can still have a good meal—”
Speaking of eating, Mo Jiu was also hungry.But facing Lu Ji, she was not angry.
"We didn't let you follow up, you asked for it, who is to blame?"
"Hey, you vicious little girl, why did you talk to my old man..."
vicious?Vicious to your whole family!Mo Jiu stared, "That's what I said, what's wrong? Not happy, not happy, don't show up in front of me."
Seeing that the two were about to pinch each other again, Xiao Qian felt a little headache, he lightly tugged Mo Jiu, hinting that she should talk less, then he said to Lu Ji, "If Master is tired, why don't I send someone to take you out first?"
"I don't want it." It is said that Lu Ji's temperament has such a little meaning in his old age, and he snorted angrily. He turned to look at the tomb door, and then turned to look at Xiao Qian, "I don't care about such a rare thing." The old man hasn't seen it yet, and the way back is so difficult, why should I leave?"
"Ah!" Xiao Qian sighed secretly, and looked at Mo Jiu, "Ah Jiu, let's open the tomb."
……
Although Mo Jiu didn't like Lu Ji, he didn't feel disgusted to such an extent that he wanted to kill him. Sometimes he just wanted to make the old man uncomfortable.
Seeing that Xiao Qian was in trouble, she nodded and stopped talking, restrained her expression, didn't look at Fang Jiran's collapse wishing to hit the wall, and didn't look at Lu Ji's proud eyes, but calmly looked at the seven stone beasts in front of her, Said to everyone: "Listen up, everyone, since we are cooperating with each other, I have to declare some cooperation requirements first."
Everyone looked at her, but no one objected.
Mo Jiu was silent for a while, and continued with satisfaction: "First, I will do what I say, and no one will be allowed to raise objections. Everyone must know that if the order is not unified, it will be difficult to do things. Can everyone do well? ?”
Again no one spoke.
Mo Jiu only accepted them as acquiescing, and continued: "Second, in the process of opening the tomb mechanism, none of us should play tricks, otherwise, I may still have a way to escape, but you may not be sure. Huantuan Death is the stupidest way to die in the world, everyone is smart, so you don't need me to remind you?"
Having said that, she suddenly turned around and smiled in Fang Jiran's direction.
"Especially you, my dear sister, if you don't want to die, just be honest!"
This half-joking, half-warning voice sounded particularly harsh to Fang Jiran.Her hair was disheveled, and there was a kind of deep hatred in her deep sunken eyes. She stared at Mo Jiu, as if she wished she could be skinned and cramped before being put into the frying pan.
There is a kind of hatred called jealousy.
That's probably how she treated Mo Jiu.
Even if Mo Jiu doesn't do anything, she still hates Jiu Tian, what's more, Mo Jiu always hates her?
With a cold snort, she said: "You don't need to explain this, I don't want to die with you."
Mo Jiu pursed his lips, and raised his eyebrows in a funny way, "If we really die together, I will be at a disadvantage. After all, you have nothing, and I... have everything."
The angrier she gets, the more she talks.
The irritated Fang Jiran's tightly clenched fists showed blue veins, Mo Jiu glanced at her, but didn't care, as if she didn't see it, rubbed his hands, and then looked at the stone beast, "This Qiankun Tomb said Is it difficult? It’s easy to say, but it’s actually not easy. I’ve already looked at it when I was talking to you just now. This is a tomb made of yellow intestines. It’s actually an imitation of an emperor’s tomb. But it is laid out according to the positions of the Big Dipper. Of course, you have also seen that the movement of the Qiankun Tomb and the layout of the main tomb, including the seven guardian stone beasts, are also based on the positions of the Big Dipper. Presumably, you have already thought about opening it before we came. There is a solution to the tomb, but why can’t it be opened?”
"Why?" Song Xi looked at her in high spirits when she spoke, with soft and distant eyes.
"Because—" Mo Jiu drew a long voice, with a half-smile, "Because this is an anti-seven-star array."
"Anti-Seven Stars?" Song Xi nodded, his deep eyes slowly fell on her brows, and finally said: "To be honest, I have just pressed Tianshu, Tianxuan, Tianji, Tianquan, Yuheng, I tried Kaiyang and Yaoguang's inversions, but I still don't see the organ opening."
"Of course you can't." Mo Jiu curled his lips, sneered suddenly, and glanced at him provocatively, "Otherwise, you wouldn't cooperate with us."
Song Xi was taken aback.
After a short pause, he smiled wryly, "You know again."
"This little trick, think carefully, can it be hard to get me?" Mo Jiu is no longer as easy-going to him as before, every sentence is full of irony, full of sarcasm: "But I can also see that you are so kind to Qimen. Dunjia is quite knowledgeable. It’s just that sometimes it depends not only on skills, but also on spirituality. In my opinion, this arrangement of Tianshu, Tianxuan, Tianji, Tianquan, Yuheng, Kaiyang, and Yaoguang , not only should they be arranged in opposite phases, but the built-in lock ring of the stone beast must also be opened—”
"A built-in lock?"
This time Song Xi and Fang Jiran's eyes followed.
"How did you know?"
"Me?" Mo Jiu blinked and smiled half-truthfully, "Aren't I a great son of the Mo family? My ancestor told me in a dream."
Seeing her pride, Fang Jiran's eyes were stabbed again.
But Fang Ji was upset, but Mo Jiu was.
She smiled and pointed at the seven guardian holy beasts, and said with certainty: "There must be a built-in lock in the belly of this stone beast, or something like a piggyback, and it is they that prevent the stone beast from controlling the mechanism."
Everyone probably understood.
Stone beasts control the mechanism of the inner and outer coffins of Qiankun's tomb.
But the built-in lock inside the stone beast controls the stone beast itself.
Song Xi suddenly realized and nodded, "That is to say, this tomb has a trap on top of the trap, which is equivalent to putting an insurance on the trap."
Mo Jiu hummed, "That's almost what it means, and that's why I emphasized the cooperation in the process of turning on and off. Because the built-in locks of the seven beasts must be opened at the same time, so that the seven beasts can run smoothly before they can be turned on." Open the inner and outer coffins of the Qiankun Tomb..."
Hearing what she said in a serious manner, no one else said anything.
Chi Xi was so curious, he couldn't help asking in a low voice, "Why does Master Jiu know so much?"
"It came out."
"Touch? What does touch mean?"
Mo Jiu smiled and patted her on the shoulder, "This is the same as what a doctor sees, hears and asks. As a tomb robber, the observation mechanism and the feeling mechanism are of course the first element. The Mohist machine is about me. I have long been familiar with it and can't be more familiar. Come down, although the level of the ancestors is very high, they cannot escape the mistakes of the craftsmen."
"What is a craftsman's mistake?"
"It's a mistake that any craftsman will make. Get used to the most convenient and favorite method." Mo Jiu glanced at this curious baby, and casually explained the origin of her guess to everyone, "Things that a person agrees with in the bottom of his heart will always be It is used in design unconsciously. In my words, this is called design style. Everyone’s design style is different, but there must be traces to be found. No matter how you change it, it remains the same. And , once a certain style is formed, even if it is deliberately changed, it is easy to reveal clues..."
……
Since the finale has a lot of words, I guess there are many typos. I use Wubi, and typos sometimes make me think more jumpy, thank you for your patience.
There are about 4 words in the latter part, and I am still doing the final correction, and it will be sent out around ten o'clock.
Well, thank you little masters for waiting.
It's coming to the end soon, are you excited?
(End of this chapter)
Darkness engulfed the tomb.
The sparks of the wind lantern move forward slowly.
The scene keeps changing, but it never seems to change.
Beyond the boundless darkness, there is still boundless darkness.
Mo Jiu, Xiao Qian, old man Lu Ji, Zounan, Chuangbei, Xixi, Xue Fang, and a large group of guards and Mohist disciples were walking in a file in the narrow cemetery. After walking for an unknown amount of time, the guard of Nan Rong who was leading the way suddenly stopped.
"Khan, Juzi!"
He turned his head suddenly, his eyes were in the dim light of the fire, with a strange color, and his face seemed to be green.
"That's right, it's just ahead—"
Here, the space has become much more spacious.
In the cold air, there is a damp musty and rotten smell...
It is also the unique smell in the old tomb. To the grave explorers, it is no different from a wild animal smelling its prey.
Mo Jiu contrasted for a moment, glanced at the guard, and slowly walked forward.
Enter a stone door that has been destroyed, and inside is the tomb.At first glance, the area of the tomb is quite large, and there are varying degrees of damage from the entrance to the foundation of the tomb. The sporadic tomb walls also have signs of collapse. Withstood the violent shock just now.
But there was no one in this shocking tomb.
Song Xi, Fang Jiran and their elite attendants were not there.
Mo Jiu walked around the tomb, checked it out, and turned to Xiao Qian with a slight smile.
"This tomb is the tomb of the ancestor of the Mo family."
"Tomb? Where is the tomb?" Chi Xi walked faster than Xiao Qian, leaning on his sword to look around, "Why didn't I see the coffin? Can a place without a coffin be called a tomb?"
Mo Jiu beckoned to her, asked her to stand in her place, and then lowered her head to let her look at the stone slab under her feet.
"Look here, the coffin was originally parked here."
"Is there?" Chi Xi bent over and looked at it with a lantern.
There were dense figures on the ground, swaying non-stop in the firelight.But although the light is not strong, the imprints left after something has been removed on the blue board that has been full of traces of time are very obvious.
"That's right, this mark is fresh." Chi Xi looked up at Mo Jiu in admiration, "Then Master Jiu, where is the coffin? Where did the coffin go?"
Mo Jiu pondered for a moment, then looked up at the zenith, "It just disappeared when the mechanism was activated."
People in ancient times were very concerned about their own affairs. Since the ancestors of the Mo family had designed such a way to switch on the mechanism, they certainly didn't want their bodies to be damaged.Once the mechanism was opened, the coffin must have been moved to another safe place.
With a sound of oh, Chi Xi asked: "Then what shall we do now? Did those people go to the Qiankun Tomb?"
In this stone room, no way out or mechanism has been found so far, and everyone is a bit at a loss.
But Mo Jiu looked around for a week, but he blinked and smiled slyly.
"I guess so."
"That is to say, the tomb of Qiankun is indeed with this tomb?"
Mo Jiu hummed, pursed her lips and said, "When people are protecting something, they will subconsciously put the most important thing by their side, thinking that this is the safest way. I think the ancestors of the Mo family probably thought the same way. The Qiankun tomb must be the gossip tomb that our ancestors attached great importance to, so I simply moved them to my home..."
"Master Jiu is saying... this is really the tomb of Qiankun?"
"No, this is just the entrance to Qiankun's tomb. Take my main tomb as the tomb door of Qiankun's tomb, the tomb within the tomb, probably like this."
Mo Jiu finished explaining with a smile, then pointed to some stone blocks in the tomb, "Liulang, what are those?"
The piers are all made of stone and covered with a layer of iron sheet. The workmanship is exquisite, but there is nothing unusual about it.
Everyone shook their heads to express their ignorance, but Mo Jiu smiled, and stepped forward to direct the strong man Sun Zounan to move the positions of several stone piers, and then said: "The original placement of these seven stone piers should be like this. It’s just that, under the external force of the mechanism, it just changed its appearance when it toppled and rolled—now, take a look, what does it look like.”
"This, this... what does it look like?"
Everyone looked at the shape of the seven stone piers and looked at each other in blank dismay, feeling puzzled.
"The Seven Stars of the Big Dipper—" Mo Jiu said, "I read it in a book of the Mohists. The cemetery of the ancestors is a spoon-shaped, composed of Tianshu, Tianxuan, Tianji, Tianquan, Yuheng, Kaiyang, and Yaoguang. It consists of seven parts—"
"Really?" Chi Xi sighed, "It's amazing! If Master Jiu doesn't say anything, I can't even see it."
Hearing this, Mo Jiu's face darkened slightly, "It was destroyed, of course you can't see it." Speaking of this, she glanced at the place where the coffin was originally placed, and said in a cold voice: "We are a step late , They have already opened the mechanism leading to Qiankun's tomb...even, they may have found Qiankun's tomb."
"Master Jiu, tell me, will they find us and deliberately destroy the mechanism of the Big Dipper Tomb, just to prevent us from finding the Qiankun Tomb?"
Mo Jiu nodded, his eyes flickered suddenly, "But why is it so hard to get me, Mo Jiu?"
"Master Jiu, tell me quickly, what should we do?" Chi Xi's eyes were full of adoring little stars.
"Reset the mechanism. Then—" Mo Jiu sneered, "He knows it, so I naturally know it too. This tomb is in the shape of the Big Dipper, so the Qiankun Tomb will be in the corresponding position of the North Star."
"Polaris position?" Most people are confused.
Sighing, Mo Jiu explained briefly, "If you connect a straight line between Tianxuan and Tianshu at the front of the Big Dipper and extend the distance by five times, that position will be the position of Polaris."
For modern people, these are basic common sense, which any middle school student knows, but for ancient people, these principles that Mo Jiu understands are all extraordinary knowledge.After listening to her explanation and solution, and watching her sit down and draw some weird lines on the ground with a charcoal pencil, the big guys also moved accordingly, and started to "reset the mechanism" as she said.
If the agency doesn't reset, even if Mo Jiu knows how to find Qiankun's tomb, he won't be able to go there.
But it is easy to say that the organization resets, but it takes some work to do it.
It has been almost two hours since everyone restored the structure of the Big Dipper Tomb to its original state.
"Tired and hungry! I can't take it anymore."
"Would you like to eat something first?"
"Take a break, I'm exhausted!"
When they came in, everyone had dry food on them, but now that they were in the tomb, they couldn't be bothered. With Xiao Qian's permission, they sat down and began to eat dry food and drink cold water to solve their stomach problems.
Xiao Qian sat down next to Mo Jiu, handed her the steamed bun in his hand, watched her take it and gnawed it silently, without saying a word, knowing that she was disturbed, he lightly comforted her: "Ah Jiu, don't worry, even if they If you find the Qiankun Tomb, you may not be able to open it. Even if you open it, you may not be able to get the jade carvings, and even if you get all the jade carvings... you may not be able to open the altar."
Mo Jiu glanced at him sideways, "That's not necessarily the case. I suddenly felt that I underestimated Fang Jiran."
"Oh?"
"At the beginning, I thought she was just a little better than other Mo family members. In my heart, she was an existence that was inferior to even Mo Fan. Look at this situation, her level is not inferior to mine. The ancestor's tomb It is not easy to open and destroy the Big Dipper array casually at such a fast speed."
"How would Ah Jiu know, it must be her?"
Mo Jiu was startled, and then realized.
Are real women the easiest to embarrass women?
From the moment she entered the tomb, she subconsciously felt that she was fighting Fang Jiran, but she didn't think of another person.
Song Xi.
That's right, although Xiao Qian didn't mention it, she knew he was referring to him.
For this man, Mo Jiu also had countless doubts. He wondered why Song Xi didn't even guard Lin'an at this juncture. Concealing the world and crossing the sea, making a false statement... Is he the one who knows Arabic numerals, and is he the same as her, from the same era?
People who know Arabic numerals.
From the first discovery of the Bagua Tomb to the current Qiankun Tomb, this person has been with her like a shadow.
But she has never been sure... This feeling is not very good.
With her heart hanging high in her throat, she was too busy to eat, so she ate two mouthfuls of steamed buns and wrapped them in oil paper and stuffed them in her bosom. The old man Lu Ji, who couldn't move, didn't want to rest for half a second.
"Let's continue! Time is running out, we can't wait any longer!"
"Okay." Knowing that she didn't want Lu Ji to relax for a while, Xiao Qian secretly sighed, asked Chuang Bei to help Lu Ji up, walked to a safe place, and asked Mo Jiu to open the mechanism that had been reset again.
This reset method really works.
After a burst of "kuang kuang" sound of the engine running, the scene of the earth shaking and the mountains shaking and gravel flying around appeared again in the ancient tomb.It's just that this time everyone was prepared, and they all waited early in the coffin parking position, and waited for the mechanism to open, and there was an entrance extending downwards at that position, then they quickly dodged in and followed the descending steps.
Even so, there were guards who were too late to keep up, and some were hit by gravel.
There is no injury but no death, that is to say, there is no danger!
The group breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly entered the corridor along the steps.
The route and direction from this corridor to the Qiankun Tomb is exactly as Mo Jiu said, it is the easiest way to use the Big Dipper to find the Polaris.On the way, one stone room after another passed by, and the person who opened the way gradually became Mo Jiu—because walking south and north was almost dizzy by the special way of walking in the corridor, so he could only rely on Mo Jiu. Nine to lead the way.For this reason, Mo Jiu compiled a lot of knowledge for everyone. Everyone seemed to be listening to a story, listening to it with great interest, and almost forgot that this was at the bottom of the dark underground tomb.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, another corridor finally came to an end.
A spacious and huge square appeared in front of everyone. At the innermost end of the square was a towering high platform connected by steps——
"My dear! God!"
I exclaimed, this time I dare not say that Qiankun Tomb is shabby anymore.
On the four sides of the square, dragons and phoenixes are carved, gold is embedded in silver, and countless huge pillars make people feel as small as ants in it.
In the wind lamp, the steps seem to be paved with gold, shining with brilliance, and the handrails on both sides are like jade, so luxurious that it makes one's heart beat wildly.
"This is like an underground palace! The square, the small bridge, the high platform..." Everyone sighed as they walked and watched, "Is the door behind the steps leading to the main tomb?"
Mo Jiu glanced at the crowd who were fussing, and walked slowly towards the high platform under the light of the wind lantern, and said as he walked, "This tomb uses the emperor's burial method of the Zhou and Han dynasties—Huangchang tiguo. According to the present Judging from the current situation, the Qiankun Tomb should be a joint burial chamber."
"Yellow sausage, what does that mean?"
With a blank look, Mo Jiu explained lazily, "Go back and read the book—"
"Hey, Master Jiu is knowledgeable and talented, so just tell me."
It's uncomfortable to be hung up, but Mo Jiu seems to be happy to keep him hooked. Of course, there's no time to explain at this time, and he can't do without hooking his appetite.Leading the crowd forward, she focused on observing the surrounding environment without making a sound.
"The tomb passage we walked just now is actually the position of the Big Dipper, and this place is the position of the North Star I mentioned—the Qiankun Tomb." Mo Jiu walked up the steps and stopped suddenly. When Xiao Qian came to his side, he lifted his Holding the wind lantern in his hand, he pointed to a gate a few feet ahead, "Liulang, the front should be the main chamber of the Qiankun Tomb—"
Her voice was not low, and it could be heard far away in a quiet secret room.
Everyone stood beside her quietly, looking at the position she pointed at, all silent.
Because this Qiankun tomb is too big!
It is more gorgeous, spacious, and magnificent than any tomb they have seen before.
Of course, only Qiankun's tomb uses the emperor's burial method-Huangchang tiguo, that is to say, Qiankun is respected in the Bagua tomb.
"Everyone cheer up!" Mo Jiu raised his voice, and suddenly lifted his robe and stepped forward, "Let's go to the tomb—"
As soon as her voice fell, there was a burst of laughter in the dark door of the tomb where the wind lamp could not see.
"You guys are here?!"
The man's words were very flat, without surprise or resentment, just like asking an ordinary friend.
Mo Jiu paused, stopped and looked at Xiao Qian, not surprised.
They will meet Song Xi, Fang Jiran and others here at Qiankun Tomb, they have already prepared.
However, hearing Song Xi's voice so relaxed and unconcerned, Mo Jiu's heart still tensed up.
"Yes, we're here." Mo Jiu strode in, mocking with a sneer, "Aren't you disappointed that we weren't fooled by you?"
"I'm not disappointed, you guys came just in time." Song Xi's voice was faint, and his figure slowly appeared in the hazy light, making it hard to see clearly, "Eight gossip tombs, eight jade carvings of ladies, you have been looking for them for so many years. , wouldn’t it be a pity if you couldn’t see the whole thing in the end?”
"Hehe." Mo Jiupi walked into the tomb with a smile on his face, and slowly raised the lights forward with everyone, "Your people are still here, and the jade carvings are also here, isn't it the same as your people and the jade carvings on your bodies?" , are all here?... That is to say, these things belong to me, and I can read them whenever I want, so where is there any regret?"
Song Xi chuckled, his voice as soft as ever.
"You're still so confident."
"Of course. Without self-confidence, how can you live to this day?"
"The giant of the Mo family is indeed capable, but next—" Song Xi smiled lightly, turned around slowly, and stared at Mo Jiu's eyes like that, his gaze was so complicated that Mo Jiu couldn't figure it out, "I don't know that we... Who will live to have the last laugh?"
"People like you can live laughing, and of course we can too."
Mo Jiu talked to him without saying a word, and finally got close to him.
The light from the wind lantern was very dim before, and it couldn't shine very far. There was a tomb door, as if we were in two worlds.
Now that he entered the tomb, he saw that the light was so bright that the whole body of the tomb seemed to be glowing with a dark green light——
Song Xi and Fang Jiran are at the other end, while Mo Jiu and Xiao Qian are at this end.
The end of the spacious tomb can't be seen at a glance, the high ceiling and the surrounding cypress rafters are just like that.In the tomb, all kinds of exquisite and gorgeous funerary objects of different sizes and shapes are placed in such a random manner, which has no temptation for the people here.
Behind where Song Xi was standing was a high abutment, about three feet high, on which the coffin was placed, and around the abutment were seven guardian stone beasts, each placed on the position of the Big Dipper, Although each stone beast has a different shape and a different facial expression, it seems that the whole body is covered with gold. Although it is old, it has not lost its color. It looks like a new creation, which is amazing.
"meet again."
After a long silence, Song Xi spoke first.
Staring at Mo Jiu's face, a halo flashed across his indifferent cheeks.
Greeting words, like friends meeting again, like meeting for the first time in that year...
It's a pity that times have changed, and people's hearts have long since returned.
"Yes, we meet again." The person who spoke was not Mo Jiu, but Xiao Qian who was standing in front of her.
His brows were low, his eyes were like stern light, and when he looked at Song Xi, there was obviously an undercurrent surging.Sometimes the confrontation between men is very interesting, even if they don't say a word, the possessive desire will radiate from the pores all over his body, even if he is already the most respected in the world, he will still fight for the matter of Mo Jiu and Song Xi. He was so sour that he didn't want to let Mo Jiu look at him at such a time.
Mo Jiu secretly laughed in his heart, but let him do it, didn't answer, just stood by the side silently, listening to what they had to say.
In the huge tomb, there was only the wind for a while.
No one spoke for a long time, and the atmosphere became stagnant.
Song Xi seemed to understand what Xiao Qian was thinking, and suddenly smiled.
"How does it feel? Sitting in that position, you will rule the world and be invincible across the world."
"Very good." Xiao Qian calmly kept his face cold.
"Would it be too cold at a high place?"
Hearing him ask, Xiao Qian didn't answer directly this time, just stared at his slightly dark red eyes, slightly raised his lips, "I will do better than you."
"I believe this." Song Xi also smiled, "I have always believed it."
After a moment of silence, he stopped "reminiscing about the old days", glanced at Mo Jiu suddenly, and sighed heavily.
"So seek benevolence and benevolence. You have already got what you want. And why do you bother to grab what I want?"
"Because what you want is exactly what I want too." Xiao Qian answered calmly, the aura of a king was fully displayed in these ten words, which made people speechless.And after he finished speaking, he walked forward slowly, looked at the seven guardian stone beasts, and asked like a friend, "As soon as the Qiankun Tomb is opened, have you gathered all the jade carvings of ladies in the Eight Diagrams Tomb?"
"Yes. The Qiankun Tomb is missing." Song Xi didn't shy away from it. After speaking, he smiled and looked back at the stone beast. "But as you can see, the inner and outer coffins of the Qiankun Tomb haven't been opened yet."
"Oh, that's no wonder." Xiao Qian nodded and took Mo Jiu's hand, "What should we do? Are we going to rob? Or are we going to rob?"
"..." Mo Jiu was amused by his serious look, "There's no need to be so brutal. Apart from robbing, we can also cooperate."
cooperate?Everyone in the tomb was a little surprised.
There are only a few protagonists who seem to be normal, and they take the word cooperation for granted.
In fact, since they came in and the two groups got together, although the tit-for-tat situation has not changed, no one has done anything, of course, because everyone has concerns.
Mo Jiu sneered, his eyes flickered, and he looked at Song Xi, Fang Jiran and a group of guards standing beside him, and spoke slowly, "Let me tell you this, this Qiankun Tomb is not something ordinary people can open." You have only two choices, either never try to open the Qiankun Tomb, and keep the other six ladies jade carvings for home decorations; or cooperate with us, open the Qiankun Tomb together, and go to the Tiantai together..."
"What about after arriving at the Tiantai?" Fang Jiran suddenly took a step forward and asked her in a cold voice.
"Then each depends on their ability." Mo Jiu bent her lips, crossed her arms and squinted at her, "My good sister, do I need to ask this?"
Being called "good sister" by her would be embarrassing for any normal person, but Fang Jiran didn't show any discomfort.
And her face actually bears a face printed with a chess piece with Mo Jiu.
This human skin mask can almost be mistaken for the real one.
Mo Jiu snorted coldly with an indescribable shock in his heart, and looked at Song Xi, "Is there any problem with cooperation?"
Her attitude was extremely strong from the beginning to the end, but Song Xi didn't feel uncomfortable at all, instead he smiled after being glanced at by her.
"Okay... Then it's up to you."
"I have one more condition!" Mo Jiu was so powerful, he pointed at Fang Jiran's face, and said to Song Xi, "Please, let her take this skin off!"
Fang Jiran's eyes suddenly turned cold, and that pretty "Mo Jiu mask" couldn't save her ferocious face. She stared at Mo Jiu with a crazy look on her face.
"Mo Jiu, do you really think we can't open the Qiankun Tomb without you?"
"It can be opened...then you can open one for me to try?" Mo Jiu taunted.
"Don't deceive people too much!"
"Why did I bully people too much?" Mo Jiu was never annoyed when he quarreled, every word seemed to be smiling, and he looked slow, especially able to block people, "You don't know that pretending to be someone else is the most annoying thing. Is it disgusting? It’s dirty, do you know that? It’s like the underpants worn by others, you still have to pick them up and put them on, are you disgusting?”
Fang Jiran was so angry that she couldn't utter a word, her hand holding the knife was trembling.
But even so, Mo Jiu didn't stop talking, hehe sneered, and sighed bitterly.
"Also——I'll tell you. Without me, you really wouldn't be able to open the Qiankun Tomb. I'm so confident, how about it?"
"Then don't open it!" Fang Jiran almost roared, "Don't forget, Mo Jiu, without us, you wouldn't be able to get all eight ladies' jade carvings. Let's see who can spend more than the other."
"Kill you all, and I'll get it."
"Kill us, and you won't get it." Fang Jiran sneered, "You think we will carry the jade carvings of ladies with us?! Stupid!"
"Oh~ so you didn't bring it with you?" Mo Jiu suddenly realized, smiled, and squinted at her, "So, we still suffer from this cooperation. What if we get the jade carving from Qiankun's tomb together, you will feel pain Let's kill them, what can we do?" After she finished speaking, she turned her head to look at Xiao Qian, "Liu Lang, we can't do business that loses money. Otherwise, let's kill them first, then open the Qiankun Tomb, and slowly find them. Lady Jade Carving. If you really can’t find it, then it’s just... lucky if you get it, but if you lose it, it’s not hard to find it.”
She said it seriously, as if it was real.
Glancing at her, Xiao Qian answered seriously.
"Okay. Ah Jiu can do whatever she wants."
The two looked at each other, sang and chorused, understanding each other.But their affectionate appearance, which can't be splashed with water, fell into Song Xi's eyes, but it caused a gloomy look.
"Stop arguing! Let's cooperate." He was calm and indifferent: "Let's open the Qiankun Tomb together, and go to the Tiantai together."
"Don't forget, I have a condition..." Mo Jiu glanced at Fang Jiran's face.
"Miss Fang." Song Xi interrupted before she finished speaking, "Take off the mask."
Fang Jiran clenched her palms tightly.
For many years, she never took off the veiled hat that covered her face.
It was because of wearing this human skin mask that she finally had a face that looked like a fairy, so she dared to calmly show her face without wearing a hat.
Now that Mo Jiu had to force her to take off her mask on the spot, wouldn't that mean that her ugly face could no longer be concealed?To be exposed in public? !
Fang Jiran has been almost paranoid about his appearance over the years.
Therefore, Mo Jiu's request was more uncomfortable for her than letting her die.
Gritting her teeth fiercely, her cheeks trembled uncontrollably. Seeing Mo Jiu's smug lift of her chin, "Impossible."
"Pick!" Song Xi looked at her coldly, "No one cares what you look like."
Compared with taking off the mask, probably this sentence can make a person break down more.
Fang Jiran was slightly taken aback, seeing Mo Jiu's schadenfreude look, she closed her eyes hard.
"Okay. I'll pick it!"
After speaking in a trembling voice, she finally raised her hand slowly after a long time, and pulled off the mask bit by bit.
Once the mask is taken off, that face is no longer a face, it seems to be a hundred times uglier than the old woman...
She stared at Mo Jiu with vicious eyes, and she smiled coldly with tears in her eyes.
"Don't get complacent too early. One day, you will be like me. Humans are not human, ghosts are not ghosts, and men are not loved. You have been scorned by the world and have nothing."
"Don't curse me, I'm kind-hearted, I'm blessed by God, I'm not like you." When Mo Jiu said this, he took Xiao Qian's arm and smiled even more proudly, "Besides, I'm a For a person who has a genius doctor with him, what is the disfigurement? I’m afraid you will feel even more uncomfortable, my disfigurement—has been cured a long time ago.”
"Really?" Fang Jiran was startled, as if he didn't believe it.
"Of course, you don't count. How old am I? How old were you when you got the onset? I've already passed your onset age, right?"
In fact, Mo Jiu also has doubts about this matter, but she has been too busy in the past few years. She didn't find any changes in her face when she looked in the mirror every day, so she deliberately didn't think about it. Sometimes she even felt that maybe if she didn't think about it, she would never Will not be coming again.Such and such, she did not expect that after so many years, her face is indeed without any signs of disfigurement.She even had some doubts, did Xiao Qian usually give her the medicine to regulate her body, and some of them accidentally responded to the symptoms, and then removed the poison?
But her words were shocking to Ji Ran.
For many years, she has been looking forward to the day when she can be cured.
But even though Xiao Qian prepared medicine for her before, she never got better. When it came to Mo Jiu...but she didn't get sick at all.
She hated and resented, and suddenly turned her gaze to Xiao Qian, "Really? Did you really cure her?"
It has to be said that Fang Jiran is also extremely aggressive and seeks to abuse herself. Isn't she asking Xiao Qian for nothing?Even if not, can he still dismantle Mo Jiu's platform?
Therefore, she only got Xiao Qian's indifferent expression, "Yes."
"You...why don't you treat me? Didn't you promise Da Lang to take good care of me?"
Fang Jiran's hoarse words did not bring Xiao Qian's sympathy, only complete disgust.
"If you were still Fang Jiran back then, then I would. But you are not. I don't have to keep any promises to a woman with a vicious heart."
"Hahahaha, heart of a snake and a scorpion? Why am I a heart of a snake and a scorpion? Wasn't it forced by you, forced..."
Fang Jiran roared and yelled, her face was as ferocious as a ghost, and the tomb was full of resentment from her.Everyone looked at her like this, and they were all speechless, but Lu Ji frowned suddenly, as if he couldn't stand it anymore, lowered his eyelids, and urged Xiao Qian impatiently, "What time is it, do you still have time to chat your teeth? We are here to open the tomb, not to be buried with you. What to do, do it quickly."
Xiao Qian looked sideways, took a deep look at him, and the corners of his lips moved slightly, "Yes."
"That's right, little girls are fighting their skills, you say what I say, what's the point?" Lu Ji yawned and sat down on the floor, "My old man is hungry, tired and sleepy, hurry up point, after driving out, you can still have a good meal—”
Speaking of eating, Mo Jiu was also hungry.But facing Lu Ji, she was not angry.
"We didn't let you follow up, you asked for it, who is to blame?"
"Hey, you vicious little girl, why did you talk to my old man..."
vicious?Vicious to your whole family!Mo Jiu stared, "That's what I said, what's wrong? Not happy, not happy, don't show up in front of me."
Seeing that the two were about to pinch each other again, Xiao Qian felt a little headache, he lightly tugged Mo Jiu, hinting that she should talk less, then he said to Lu Ji, "If Master is tired, why don't I send someone to take you out first?"
"I don't want it." It is said that Lu Ji's temperament has such a little meaning in his old age, and he snorted angrily. He turned to look at the tomb door, and then turned to look at Xiao Qian, "I don't care about such a rare thing." The old man hasn't seen it yet, and the way back is so difficult, why should I leave?"
"Ah!" Xiao Qian sighed secretly, and looked at Mo Jiu, "Ah Jiu, let's open the tomb."
……
Although Mo Jiu didn't like Lu Ji, he didn't feel disgusted to such an extent that he wanted to kill him. Sometimes he just wanted to make the old man uncomfortable.
Seeing that Xiao Qian was in trouble, she nodded and stopped talking, restrained her expression, didn't look at Fang Jiran's collapse wishing to hit the wall, and didn't look at Lu Ji's proud eyes, but calmly looked at the seven stone beasts in front of her, Said to everyone: "Listen up, everyone, since we are cooperating with each other, I have to declare some cooperation requirements first."
Everyone looked at her, but no one objected.
Mo Jiu was silent for a while, and continued with satisfaction: "First, I will do what I say, and no one will be allowed to raise objections. Everyone must know that if the order is not unified, it will be difficult to do things. Can everyone do well? ?”
Again no one spoke.
Mo Jiu only accepted them as acquiescing, and continued: "Second, in the process of opening the tomb mechanism, none of us should play tricks, otherwise, I may still have a way to escape, but you may not be sure. Huantuan Death is the stupidest way to die in the world, everyone is smart, so you don't need me to remind you?"
Having said that, she suddenly turned around and smiled in Fang Jiran's direction.
"Especially you, my dear sister, if you don't want to die, just be honest!"
This half-joking, half-warning voice sounded particularly harsh to Fang Jiran.Her hair was disheveled, and there was a kind of deep hatred in her deep sunken eyes. She stared at Mo Jiu, as if she wished she could be skinned and cramped before being put into the frying pan.
There is a kind of hatred called jealousy.
That's probably how she treated Mo Jiu.
Even if Mo Jiu doesn't do anything, she still hates Jiu Tian, what's more, Mo Jiu always hates her?
With a cold snort, she said: "You don't need to explain this, I don't want to die with you."
Mo Jiu pursed his lips, and raised his eyebrows in a funny way, "If we really die together, I will be at a disadvantage. After all, you have nothing, and I... have everything."
The angrier she gets, the more she talks.
The irritated Fang Jiran's tightly clenched fists showed blue veins, Mo Jiu glanced at her, but didn't care, as if she didn't see it, rubbed his hands, and then looked at the stone beast, "This Qiankun Tomb said Is it difficult? It’s easy to say, but it’s actually not easy. I’ve already looked at it when I was talking to you just now. This is a tomb made of yellow intestines. It’s actually an imitation of an emperor’s tomb. But it is laid out according to the positions of the Big Dipper. Of course, you have also seen that the movement of the Qiankun Tomb and the layout of the main tomb, including the seven guardian stone beasts, are also based on the positions of the Big Dipper. Presumably, you have already thought about opening it before we came. There is a solution to the tomb, but why can’t it be opened?”
"Why?" Song Xi looked at her in high spirits when she spoke, with soft and distant eyes.
"Because—" Mo Jiu drew a long voice, with a half-smile, "Because this is an anti-seven-star array."
"Anti-Seven Stars?" Song Xi nodded, his deep eyes slowly fell on her brows, and finally said: "To be honest, I have just pressed Tianshu, Tianxuan, Tianji, Tianquan, Yuheng, I tried Kaiyang and Yaoguang's inversions, but I still don't see the organ opening."
"Of course you can't." Mo Jiu curled his lips, sneered suddenly, and glanced at him provocatively, "Otherwise, you wouldn't cooperate with us."
Song Xi was taken aback.
After a short pause, he smiled wryly, "You know again."
"This little trick, think carefully, can it be hard to get me?" Mo Jiu is no longer as easy-going to him as before, every sentence is full of irony, full of sarcasm: "But I can also see that you are so kind to Qimen. Dunjia is quite knowledgeable. It’s just that sometimes it depends not only on skills, but also on spirituality. In my opinion, this arrangement of Tianshu, Tianxuan, Tianji, Tianquan, Yuheng, Kaiyang, and Yaoguang , not only should they be arranged in opposite phases, but the built-in lock ring of the stone beast must also be opened—”
"A built-in lock?"
This time Song Xi and Fang Jiran's eyes followed.
"How did you know?"
"Me?" Mo Jiu blinked and smiled half-truthfully, "Aren't I a great son of the Mo family? My ancestor told me in a dream."
Seeing her pride, Fang Jiran's eyes were stabbed again.
But Fang Ji was upset, but Mo Jiu was.
She smiled and pointed at the seven guardian holy beasts, and said with certainty: "There must be a built-in lock in the belly of this stone beast, or something like a piggyback, and it is they that prevent the stone beast from controlling the mechanism."
Everyone probably understood.
Stone beasts control the mechanism of the inner and outer coffins of Qiankun's tomb.
But the built-in lock inside the stone beast controls the stone beast itself.
Song Xi suddenly realized and nodded, "That is to say, this tomb has a trap on top of the trap, which is equivalent to putting an insurance on the trap."
Mo Jiu hummed, "That's almost what it means, and that's why I emphasized the cooperation in the process of turning on and off. Because the built-in locks of the seven beasts must be opened at the same time, so that the seven beasts can run smoothly before they can be turned on." Open the inner and outer coffins of the Qiankun Tomb..."
Hearing what she said in a serious manner, no one else said anything.
Chi Xi was so curious, he couldn't help asking in a low voice, "Why does Master Jiu know so much?"
"It came out."
"Touch? What does touch mean?"
Mo Jiu smiled and patted her on the shoulder, "This is the same as what a doctor sees, hears and asks. As a tomb robber, the observation mechanism and the feeling mechanism are of course the first element. The Mohist machine is about me. I have long been familiar with it and can't be more familiar. Come down, although the level of the ancestors is very high, they cannot escape the mistakes of the craftsmen."
"What is a craftsman's mistake?"
"It's a mistake that any craftsman will make. Get used to the most convenient and favorite method." Mo Jiu glanced at this curious baby, and casually explained the origin of her guess to everyone, "Things that a person agrees with in the bottom of his heart will always be It is used in design unconsciously. In my words, this is called design style. Everyone’s design style is different, but there must be traces to be found. No matter how you change it, it remains the same. And , once a certain style is formed, even if it is deliberately changed, it is easy to reveal clues..."
……
Since the finale has a lot of words, I guess there are many typos. I use Wubi, and typos sometimes make me think more jumpy, thank you for your patience.
There are about 4 words in the latter part, and I am still doing the final correction, and it will be sent out around ten o'clock.
Well, thank you little masters for waiting.
It's coming to the end soon, are you excited?
