Yin Yang Tomb Raider

Chapter 55 Silver beams, poisonous
I supported the stone wall and walked down, tossing and tossing all night, neither eating nor drinking, and not sleeping much, even I, a man, couldn't bear it, so I stroked the wall with one hand, skipping the patterns of phoenix tails little by little, fingers My tactile sensation tells me that these patterns are floating on the surface. Sometimes, the subtle touch produces a strange feeling that these patterns are alive, and maybe they will flap their wings and fly up in a while...

We walked down one by one like this, falling into a deathly silence between each other, suddenly, I staggered on my foot, I pressed my hand hard on the wall, and suddenly heard a "click", and I stopped immediately The sound of footsteps, looking at the stone wall suspiciously, the moment I pressed my hand just now, I did hear the sound!
Lao Jiu stopped: "Lin Tianyi, why don't you leave? I'm trapped to death."

"There is a mechanism." I said briefly: "It's right here, I heard the voice just now."

Tao Ran turned around suddenly, and said suspiciously: "Impossible, I grew up here, and I have been going in and out here since I was a child, and I have never heard of any mechanism."

"No one dares to say that everything is clear." I sneered: "You are still cuter when you are asleep. I believe my ears. I heard you right, Lao Jiu, go on."

Throwing my backpack into Lao Jiu's arms, I began to study the stone wall. Tao Ran's face changed several times, and finally he came up and stood beside me. I pressed my hand on where it was, and then confirmed it bit by bit. Finally, one piece was loose. I must have a look of complacency on my face, because Tao Ran turned his head away unhappily!
I pressed it down, and a small hole was opened on the stone wall. I tried it, and I was glad that none of the four of us gained weight, otherwise it would be difficult to get in. I stretched out my hand first to explore, and as soon as I stretched in, I felt something stuck to my fingers. I touched it, it was just a fleeting feeling, but it reminded me of the skin of a snake, that kind of cold-blooded coldness, my fingers retracted, and I took a step back: "What?"

Lao Jiu asked suspiciously: "Officer Tao, you really don't know there is another agency here?"

Tao Ran said angrily: "When I was young, I ran up and down here, holding a bell in my hand and learning to control these living corpses. The number of times was no less than a thousand words, but I never found out that there was another mechanism here. Believe it or not, Follow you."

I took the flashlight, carefully shone it down, and then took a deep breath: "It's empty inside, there seems to be a rope ladder, you can go in through the rope ladder, Lao Jiu, I'll go in and have a look."

"No, didn't it mean that something touched you just now?" Lao Jiu took the torch: "Try first and then talk."

He took off his clothes to cover his right hand and arm, and then he took the torch and stretched it in, specially letting the fire burn against the stone wall. There were two crisp sounds of "papa", and Meng Luo instantly regained his spirits: "to the fire!" very sensitive."

Lao Jiu stretched his whole arm in. He was very angry. He was not afraid at all. Suddenly, I saw the sleeve wrapped around his arm move. I immediately took out the dagger and picked it. Lao Jiu also Feeling it, he took out the torch "swiftly", only to see a long worm wrapped around his arm!

I didn't see the bug's head, and Lao Jiu had already thrown his arm away, but the bug was wrapped around his arm like a leech, and he couldn't take it off, so Lao Jiu directly lit the torch, unexpectedly The clothes ignited!

"Old Jiu, you are crazy, don't you want your arms?" I quickly took off my clothes and patted Lao Jiu's arm, but Lao Jiu was very calm: "Don't worry, Lin Tianyi, this thing is afraid of fire. place, it dare not approach?”

Sure enough, the moment the flames burst into flames, the thing fell to the ground, bent together, and Lao Jiu quickly untied the burning clothes on his arms at the same time, and slapped it on the stone wall. Seeing that the fire was extinguished, he said regretfully: " Take pity on my clothes."

The long worm on the ground is about one meter long, as thin as a thumb, and khaki. After being burned by the fire, its body is tightly bent into a big head to the end of the same thickness. It is impossible to tell where the head is. Tao Ran's face has also changed. : "I've never seen it before, what exactly is this?"

Tao Ran took out a silver bundle. I saw her use this thing when I was in Heishui Town. Later, I found out that she was a Miao person, so I didn’t find it surprising. Silverware plays an important role in the life of Miao people. He took out a knife and punctured the worm's skin, a smell of earth came out, but there was no blood, only a little viscous yellow liquid. Tao Ran first touched the worm's skin with a silver beam, but there was no change, and then When the silver beam touched the yellow liquid, the silver beam immediately turned black!

"The bug itself is fine, but the yellow liquid is poisonous." Tao Ran was very courageous, she picked up a stone and fiddled with the body of these bugs: "There are no teeth, so they can't bite people, to be exact, there is no mouth either. .”

Lao Jiu took a deep breath: "If you can't help but say that you use stones to hit these insects, the non-dangerous things can release the venom instead, is this a trap?"

Tao Ran said, "Forget it."

Unknowingly, we returned to the state under the desert, abandoned the hostility, and huddled together again. Meng Luo suddenly stretched out his hand, and the cinnabar in his hand fell on the insect. Without any reaction, he said, "It's not Yin!" The insects are real bugs, probably formed by the unique environment here."

"We should go in and take a look." I said, "The purpose of those people coming to the cliff coffin is pure or not. What attracts them here, only we have to find the answer by ourselves."

Those bugs are non-toxic, so there is no need to be wary. This time, I got in decisively and stepped on the rope ladder. These rope ladders are made of three strands. When I looked down, I couldn’t see the end. Wherever it extends, the color of the rope is faded green. When I stepped on it, I heard a "squeak". I was the first to go down, and Tao Ran followed in second. We both made the same choice, not looking at the stone wall. If we saw dense insects, we would not only feel sick, but also lose strength in our hands. ?

We kept this kind of tacit understanding all the way down, and the circling wind on the ground rolled up, blowing up the trousers, and all four of us hung on the rope ladder. This place is about four meters wide, and it’s unknown how deep it is. The amount of work is quite large for a flat rock wall. It takes a lot of people to polish the rock wall with tools, and it takes a lot of time, right?
Finally, I felt the end. I reckoned that it was about the same height as the outside, but the mountain was divided into two spaces, and the height was still the same. Suddenly it went up, blowing so hard that we couldn't open our eyes, and Tao Ran lost his steps and hit me: "I'm sorry."

"Why are you polite?" I said disapprovingly, and the flashlight shone around: "Look, there are seven coffins."

Tao Ran was taken aback, and looked in the direction my finger was pointing at. Seven coffins were neatly arranged in a row. The coffins were pitch-black, and each one was taller and longer than ordinary coffins. The number was the same as the number outside. The zombies were the same, and I said, "Is it where the zombies stay outside? There are also seven, one for each person."

"If it is, there is no need to quarantine." Tao Ran was very confused: "Zombies exist to protect the green coffin, and there is no need for burial from the beginning, so it is impossible to need a coffin."

Tao Ran inadvertently revealed a secret. Although he had guessed it a long time ago, the truth was settled when he said it himself. The green coffin, the most important thing in the cliff coffin is the green coffin.

Lao Jiu had already walked to the front of the coffin, hesitantly: "Isn't there a poisonous poison trap inside?"

Tao Ran said: "If there are confidential things, I'm afraid there are. Let me do it. We have been equipped with protection Gu since we were young. It can be said that it is invulnerable to all kinds of Gu. This is also the way to distinguish between our own people and outsiders."

Lao Jiu shrugged and stepped back. None of the seven coffins were nailed on by descendants, they were just covered. Tao Ran easily lifted the lid. It seemed that the material of the lid was very light. For a moment, Tao Ran's hand slipped, and the coffin lid almost fell to the ground. We were startled at the same time, and I laughed out loud: "It's indecent for the three elders to watch a girl open the coffin and be frightened like this. .”

"Don't be kidding." Munro frowned and said, "I always feel that the placement of these coffins is a bit strange."

Tao Ran has already opened the lids of the seven coffins, and the seven coffins are all empty, with nothing inside, but I feel the wind under my feet getting stronger and stronger, and my body also feels cold. It is already broad daylight. It was still extremely cold inside, so I asked Tao Ran: "How is it? Is there any poison?"

"No response, it seems that there is no Gu poison." Tao Ran said: "If there is Gu poison, a puff of white smoke will come out of my body, but there is no."

My understanding of Gu poison is only superficial. Tao Ran has never seen this kind of protective Gu poison. Seeing her full of confidence, I was also infected, and I completely believed her words.

Tao Ran wondered, "There's nothing inside, just seven coffins. I really don't understand why it's specially installed here."

Munro walked over and looked inside, his eyes lit up immediately. As soon as his eyes lit up, it meant that he had discovered something. I immediately leaned over and asked, "What did you find?"

"Look, these coffins all have a characteristic. There are seven small holes with a diameter of about 7 cm on the bottom plate. They are arranged in the shape of spoons of the Big Dipper. There is an ancient coin, and the seven coffins are like this, this is the seven-star lock soul formation." Meng Luo said: "There is nothing in the coffin, there may be only, Lin Tianyi, what's wrong with you?"

I felt my body was stiff, and it was still very cold, the wind was blowing straight on my body, it was so cold!
