dragon hunter

Chapter 222
When I woke up again, I found myself in the darkness. I turned on the flashlight and took a picture. All my companions were by my side, except for the old farmer.

A complex emotion was stuck in my chest. We all went through life and death together, but such a living person would be gone if he said nothing, which made me a little unacceptable.

"Hey, this is my brother's own choice, may he rest in peace!" The Seventeenth Master was silent for a long time and sighed.

Losing a companion makes everyone feel a little depressed. Even though we have not known him for a long time, the experience of facing life and death together is enough for us to remember him in our hearts.

After a while, Fatty Wang was the first to break the silence, turned his head and looked around, and asked, "Where is this? Are you back in the tomb?"

"Passing through the three hurdles, it is estimated that this is the resting place of Cao Cao's ancestors." The Seventeenth Lord raised his eyes and looked ahead.

There is a layer of fog all around, and the light of the flashlight can only penetrate a distance of four or five meters. I also judged from the floor tiles under my feet that this is a tomb.

We got together and explored cautiously forward. After walking a few steps, a black shadow appeared in front of us.

After several near-death situations, everyone's nerves were a little tense. When they saw the black figure, they subconsciously stopped to be on guard.

"It looks like a dead thing, I'll go and have a look first." I narrowed my eyes, looked around for a while, and walked forward cautiously.

When I got closer, I found that the black figure in front of me was a bronze lamp with a height of one person, shaped like a teapot with a long spout, but without a lid.

I breathed a sigh of relief, turned around, and waved to my companion behind me, indicating that it was safe here.

The Seventeenth Master was as nimble as a civet cat, walking quickly with the Qinglong Yanyue Saber in hand.

Fatty Wang staggered, walked a few steps, suddenly stared, pointed behind me, and exclaimed.

I was taken aback by this thing, and I quickly turned around to look back, and saw the copper lamp shaped like a teapot, the wick ignited a green flame.

The Seventeenth Lord leaned over without making a sound, stared at the bronze lamp, and was on guard.

My back tensed slightly, and I looked at the bronze lamp that ignited spontaneously without fire, and saw that the lamp oil inside was a bit weird, shaped like amber, and bright red in color.

"The evil nature of the lamp oil is the blood amber formed deep underground." Seventeenth Master said in a deep voice.

"What is Xuepo?" I held the Gouyu sword nervously.

"In ancient times, when the two armies fought, many people died, and the blood seeped into the ground. After a long time, blood amber could be formed. This thing is very fierce." Seventeenth Master explained.

After hearing this, my eyelids twitched, and I stared at the faint green fire, to beware of possible changes.

Strange to say, after the bronze lamp spontaneously ignited without fire, there was no abnormality, but the faint fire light illuminated the surrounding area, which made us discover some other things.

"Why are there all these copper lamps around here?" Fatty Wang timidly moved over.

With the help of the green firelight, I found that where I am now, there is a bronze lamp every few steps away, which looks very strange.

"This layout reminds me of a legend." The Seventeenth Master looked around.

"Grandpa, don't be fooled, that green fire looks very pervasive." Li Xiaolei said behind her.

The Seventeenth Master stared at me sideways, and asked, "Have you ever heard the rumor that Liu An, King of Huainan, lit one hundred and eight sky lanterns to renew his life?"

I was taken aback. Huainan King Liu An is the grandson of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty. This guy is devoted to Taoism and likes to study immortality. It is said that when he built the mausoleum, according to an ancient book, he arranged [-] sky lanterns, which can keep his soul alive. off.

There are even rumors that the seven-star resurrection formation that Zhuge Liang continued his life later was simplified based on the one hundred and eight sky lanterns.

The method of arranging the [-] sky lanterns has long been lost, but Cao Cao was not far from Liu An's time, and this guy had the post of Lieutenant Mojin, so it is not unusual for sky lanterns to appear in the tomb to continue his life.

"Maybe, these bronze lamps were dug out from Liu An's tomb." I glanced around and said my guess.

The tomb was weird, we couldn't stay in one place for too long, after observing for a while, we decided to move on.

Those bronze lamps are very evil, as long as we get close, a faint green fire will be ignited, and the surroundings will be dark green, even our faces are illuminated by the fire light, as if we are in a ghost land.

"Fatty Master, why do you always feel uneasy in your heart, we have to go faster." Fatty Wang looked around nervously, curled up and said.

The two daughters, Li Xiaolei and Yin Xian'er, were close to each other, and their pretty faces were also extremely nervous.

I looked at the bright red and translucent lamp oil in the bronze lamps, and thought of the origin of this thing, my scalp felt a little numb.

A gloomy wind blew in the tomb, and the green flames around were swaying with the wind like will-o'-the-wisps. I seemed to hear the wailing of countless innocent souls.

I reached out and rubbed my trouser leg, wiped off the sweat on my palm, changed the Gouyu sword to my left hand, and pursed my dry lips.

"What's the sound, it seems that there are many ghosts howling, do you hear it?" Fatty Wang asked with fear on his face.

"Don't scare yourself, just calm down and concentrate, all evil will not invade." I gave that coward a look.

The second daughter behind was also very nervous by the nervous Fatty Wang. After listening to me, she calmed down a little.

I silently recited the Qingxin mantra in my heart, and I felt that the howling ghosts in my ears eased a little.

The Seventeenth Master held the Qinglong Yanyue Knife tightly in his hand, and his steps were steady, but he was not disturbed by these messy things.

One hundred and eight life-continuing sky lanterns sound like no concept, but when you are in it, you will find that no matter where you go, you will be surrounded by bronze lamps, boundless, and the dark green flames will make your mind restless.

Except for the sound of our footsteps, there was silence all around. Fatty Wang's scream almost startled me.

"What's the matter with you, can you calm down for a while?" I looked sideways at that coward.

"There's a ghost, something touched my neck from behind just now." Fatty Wang said nervously with a pale face.

My heart tightened, I turned my head and looked around, but found nothing.

Being disturbed by Fatty Wang, everyone's already tense nerves became even more tense, but the Seventeenth Master was still calm.

"These bird copper lamps, the fat man looked at the evil nature, so he simply overturned them all, lest they cause trouble." Fatty Wang was frightened and muttered uneasily.

As soon as the words were finished, the two girls behind me exclaimed. I quickly turned my head and saw a bronze lamp beside Fatty Wang. Among the burning green flames, a pale arm stretched out and pinched his neck.

"What the hell?" I rushed over and slashed at that arm with the Gou Yu sword.

Fatty Wang seemed dumbfounded by fright, he remained motionless and forgot to dodge.

Gou Yujian cut off the pale arm, and a stream of stinky black blood gushed out. Seeing Fatty Wang standing there stupidly, I kicked the coward and cursed: "Stupid? Stay there and get sprayed with poisonous blood!" ?”

Fatty Wang shuddered, he came to his senses, used both hands and feet, and hid aside in embarrassment.

"Be careful, there are evil things crawling out of those copper lamps." Li Xiaolei reminded with a trembling voice.

I glanced around in horror, and saw a pale body crawling out of every nearby bronze lamp, with long hair covering its face, and black nails that were pointed and long.

"Come here, let's all get together." Seventeenth Master said hurriedly.

We quickly leaned over, and the Seventeenth Master and I were one in front and one behind, protecting Fatty Wang and the second daughter.

After experiencing life and death several times, the courage of the two women has grown a lot.

The girl Yin Xian'er even took the Yuchang sword borrowed by the Seventeenth Master and stood at my side to cover, but her trembling arms betrayed the nervousness in the girl's heart.

Li Xiaolei didn't lose the bow and arrow in her hand, but there were only three wooden arrows left, which can only be regarded as psychological comfort, at least better than empty hands.

Fatty Wang, a coward, saw the two women, and they both put on a fighting posture. He was really ashamed to fight soy sauce, took out a wooden sign, took a step, and stood there trembling.

Maybe it's because I've experienced the battle of corpse soldiers, but I still feel powerless when I face these evil things crawling out of the lamp.

These evil creatures are more difficult to deal with than ordinary zombies, but they are still much worse than the corpse soldiers who know how to fight in formations. After a lot of effort, we wiped them out.

Clearing away the surrounding threats, we continued to move forward, and after walking a certain distance, a faint sweet smell flooded into my nostrils.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a trace of red smoke rising from the burning bronze lamp, lingering around us.

I felt dizzy for a while, I was startled, I quickly bit my tongue hard, regained my sanity, and immediately covered my mouth and nose.

"Everyone hold your breath, the red smoke is poisonous." I reminded in a low voice.

The Seventeenth Lord reacted the fastest, wielding the Qinglong Yanyue Knife, and chopped off several bronze lamps around him.

There was a muffled sound behind me, and I quickly turned around to see Fatty Wang lying on the ground, motionless.

I rushed over and pinched his Renzhong acupoint hard. The guy let out a long breath and woke up leisurely.

"Hurry up, get out of here quickly." I stretched out my hand to support Fatty Wang, who was very heavy, but fortunately Li Xiaolei was there to help.

Just when I couldn't hold my breath, the front suddenly opened up, and the fog that shrouded the surrounding area dissipated.

"Fatty, it's time for you to lose weight." I let go of Fatty Wang, panting heavily.

Fatty Wang didn't respond, and I turned around strangely, seeing the intoxicated expression on that coward's face, and he seemed to be muttering something.

My heart tightened, thinking that this guy was bewitched, I took out a piece of talisman paper, and was about to paste it, when the guy muttered a little louder.

"It's so beautiful. It's so beautiful to meet Xiaolei at such a close distance!" Fatty Wang narrowed his eyes and his voice was intoxicated.

Li Xiaolei seemed to be stung by a poisonous bee, and she let go of the guy's arm like an electric shock. The expression on her face was like eating a fly.

I couldn't help but patted my forehead, and walked away a few steps, feeling that this guy was really hopeless.

"Look quickly, what is that crystal green thing in front of you?" Yin Xian'er pointed forward with her finger.

I looked in the direction of the other person's finger, and there was a layer of cold air over there, and the surrounding ground was covered with ice flowers, and the crystal green square object, no matter how you looked at it, looked like a coffin.

"That's the Hanyu coffin!" The Seventeenth Master stood in front and said in a deep voice.
