dragon hunter

Chapter 74
The secret technique of acupuncture and moxibustion is indeed very miraculous. After Zhen Qingyi helped me pull out the silver needle, I felt that my mental state had been completely elevated to a new level.

When I woke up early in the morning, my face was flushed. Maybe it was because I thought too much yesterday. I had a dream at night. The scene in the dream was very embarrassing. Looking back, my mouth is still dry.

It may be because of guilty conscience, he didn't dare to look at Zhen Qingyi face to face in the morning, hurriedly finished breakfast, pulled Fatty Wang, and rushed towards the agreed place.

Several old boatmen had been waiting there for a long time, and after a few simple greetings, we went straight to the back mountain of Majia Village.

"The last time I came here, I was still quite popular, but this time it was completely deserted." Fatty Wang muttered as he passed by Majia Village.

Surrounded by danger and death, those group of supernatural lovers managed to save their lives, and they broke up a long time ago, and now Majia Village is deserted.

"It was a pity that Majia Village was one of the largest villages nearby." The old boatman sighed.

I saw the Ma family's ancestral house on the mountain again. It was in a mess all around, half of the house collapsed, broken bricks and tiles were scattered all over the place, and everywhere was scorched.

At the entrance of the passage, there are piles of plant ash, charred branches, and the corpses of those figurine snakes, mixed together, which looks a little disgusting.

"Snake dwarf, take out your secret snake repellent cream and share it with everyone." The old boatman turned on the flashlight, took a photo into the passage, and said back.

The dwarf took out a small box, opened the lid, and found a strange fragrance, inside was a crystal clear yellow paste.

"You put a little bit on your fingers, and put it on anywhere. The poisonous snake will smell the paste and dare not go within three meters." The dwarf's tone was very confident.

I dipped a little ointment on my fingers, the fingertips were cold, and I rubbed it on my wrists, like cooling oil, it was cool and the smell was very pleasant.

"This ointment is good. Even if the effect of repelling snakes is excluded, it is also excellent for refreshing the mind." Fatty Wang rubbed a little on his temples and praised.

The old monkey shined the sheepskin map with a flashlight, and walked into the passage first, muttering in his mouth, and looked a little obsessed.

"Masterpiece! A masterpiece handed down from generation to generation." The old monkey shone a flashlight on Shimen, with a fascinated look on his face.

"Old Monkey, how to open this stone door?" The old boatman stood aside and interjected.

"This is the pull door, and it needs the cooperation of four people to open it." The old monkey came to his senses and pointed to the four reliefs on the stone door. force."

"It turned out to be okay. At the beginning, more than a dozen of us pushed open the stone door with force." The dwarf murmured.

"Brutely pushing the stone door open will trigger the mechanism inside, so you suffered heavy casualties." The old monkey's tone was somewhat disdainful.

The few of us each grabbed a relief, counted one, two, three, and then spun vigorously at the same time.

Behind the stone door came the sound of a mechanism, the ground vibrated slightly, dust was flying, and the closed stone door slowly moved to both sides.

"Hey, why is there an extra stone sculpture inside? There wasn't such a thing before?" The dwarf shone a flashlight behind the stone door and said in surprise.

"The organs in the underground palace will be rotated every five years, and the scene will change every time you enter." The old monkey looked inside and explained.

"A lot of people seem to be kneeling in front of that stone sculpture." I squinted my eyes, the light inside was too dark to see clearly.

"It's spooky inside, there must be something weird." Fatty Wang shrank his neck and hid at the back.

We walked towards the stone sculpture cautiously, and got closer. Under the light of the flashlight, I could see the appearance of the stone sculpture clearly.

"Mother Wusheng, a vacuum hometown. So this is what Mother Wusheng looks like." I looked at this legendary figure curiously.

"Be careful! Those kneeling in front of the stone sculpture are all wax figurines." The old boatman reminded in a deep voice.

"Old man, what is a wax figurine?" Fatty Wang asked nervously while hiding behind me.

"A living person uses magic to seal the five senses, and pours a layer of wax all over his body. This is a wax figurine." I remembered the records in the Broken Physiognomy.

"Too...too evil..." Fatty Wang looked at the figure kneeling on the ground, and took a few steps back in fear.

I didn't look down on Fatty this time. His willingness to agree to enter the underground palace has already made me look at him with admiration.

"There are talisman papers on the foreheads of these wax figurines. As long as you don't touch them, they should be fine." The old boatman walked forward carefully.

I took a photo with a flashlight and found that each wax figurine had a piece of yellow talisman on its forehead, and I was familiar with those talisman papers.

"Our Zhang family's requiem talisman, my grandfather came here before." I exclaimed.

"Impossible, we didn't meet these wax figurines before." The dwarf retorted.

"Could it be that my grandfather was still alive after the underground palace was closed?" I thought of the only possibility.

"Keep quiet, let's get out of here first." The old boatman interrupted in a deep voice.

"The stone carving of the Wusheng old mother is weird. No matter how I walk, she is always facing me." Fatty Wang's voice trembled.

I looked sideways at the stone sculpture, and was startled. I had clearly walked to the side of the stone sculpture just now, but now I looked over and found that she was still facing me.

A gust of wind blew by, and the yellow talisman paper pasted between the eyebrows of the stone sculpture drifted away with the wind, and the stone sculpture moved abnormally.

"Is the fat man dazzled? Just now the stone carving's eyeballs moved." Fatty Wang looked nervous.

I didn't speak, and my heart felt a little cold, because I also saw that the stone carving's eyeballs moved just now.

"Don't look, get out of here quickly." The dwarf said in a hurried tone, as if he had thought of something terrible.

"No, those wax figurines are about to wake up and can't stay here anymore." The old boatman greeted and ran forward in a hurry.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but when I saw the stone sculpture move, my heart beat faster, I pulled Fatty Wang, and ran away.

"Vacuum hometown..." A faint voice echoed in my ears.

I ignored it with a sullen face, and ran forward without saying a word. It was chilly behind me, as if something was blowing air behind me.

I bit my finger, drew a blood talisman between my eyebrows, silently said "All evil will not invade", and continued to run.

A group of people walked through a passage panting, and stopped when they felt that they couldn't run anymore.

"There's nothing chasing after him." The dwarf turned around and took a photo with his flashlight.

"Where are we now in the underground palace?" The old boatman stepped aside and asked the old monkey who was staring at the map.

I leaned over curiously, looked at the sheepskin map in the old monkey's hand, and wanted to know the answer.

The old monkey looked at the map with a flashlight, squinted his eyes for a while, and pointed out. We are now in the northeast, and there is an agency passage in front. Everyone must be careful.

The old monkey led the way, and we carefully followed behind. The air in the underground palace was a bit dull, which made people feel suffocated.

"Stop!" The old monkey raised his hand, signaling us not to go, squatted down, and shone the flashlight on the ground in front of him.

"Is there a mechanism in front?" I leaned over and asked.

"If I'm not blind, the front is the legendary 'Huangquan Road', and no one would arrange such a mechanism now." The old monkey looked serious.

"Yellow Spring Road?" My heart tightened, just hearing the name, I knew that the road ahead was extremely dangerous.

The old monkey took out a metal ball and kept twisting it with his hands. There seemed to be a clockwork inside, and there was a creaking sound.

Then the old monkey flicked his wrist, and the metal ball fell to the ground, ding ding dong dong and bounced forward, every landing point was very regular.

There was a sound from the machine, and a crossbow arrow flew out of the hole in the stone wall and shot to the other side, "Dang!" There was a crisp sound, and sparks shot out.

"It's so dangerous!" I looked at the crossbow arrows that fell on the ground, and I felt terrified. The passage is very narrow. If I am not prepared, I will never be able to escape.

The metal ball was not affected, and continued to bounce forward, and the sound of the spring continued to be heard inside the ball.

The sound of moving the stone wall came, and a dark metal pipe protruded from the stone wall, and green poisonous smoke kept coming out.

"The design is too vicious." Fatty Wang smacked his mouth, his eyes a little frightened.

This is not over yet, the metal ball completely violates the principles of mechanics, as if controlled by a pair of invisible hands, it continues to bounce.

"Kang Dang!" With a muffled sound, a big hole suddenly appeared in the ground, and the metal ball fell into the hole.

"It's a pity, the gravitational ball was passed down by my master, and I don't have many left." The old monkey looked regretful.

"Is the passage safe now?" I breathed a sigh of relief and asked the old monkey.

"If it's that simple, you can break the 'Yellow Spring Road', and it won't make the mechanics talk about it." The old monkey shook his head.

"Then what should we do now?" the old boatman asked in a deep voice.

"The physical mechanism is basically broken, but there are still some weird things, we can only rely on ourselves to be careful." The old monkey walked forward cautiously.

We didn't dare to take a wrong step, and followed the old monkey very carefully, all of us tensed up.

"Zhang Yifan!" A voice sounded very familiar from behind.

I subconsciously wanted to turn around, and tightened my arms, seeing the old boatman shaking his head at me with a serious expression on his face.

"I heard from the older generation that if you take the road to Huangquan, you must not turn back." The old boatman explained in a deep voice.

I let out a secret cry of danger, heightened my vigilance, and continued to walk forward, my eyes sweeping to the stone walls on both sides from time to time.

A hand patted me on the back, and I was about to turn around to be vigilant, remembering the old boatman's warning, and forced myself to hold back.

"Fatty, did you pat me on the shoulder?" I asked without turning my head.

There was no sound after the sound, and Fatty Wang had been following behind me, but at this moment he seemed to have disappeared.

I couldn't bear it anymore, and turned around abruptly, the fat man entered the underground palace for me, and I have to be responsible for his safety.

A fat face was close at hand, blood-stained, bluish-purple, with a very ferocious expression, and a pair of eyes staring at me resentfully.

It's Fatty Wang, what happened to him?I was startled, I didn't know what happened, so I had to ask.

One hand firmly held my arm, pulled me and ran, I staggered and almost fell.
