I was really scared. It seemed that the mercury in my body acted as an antiseptic. I didn't dare to think about it anymore. I thought it was not a good place to stay for a long time, and then I went to carry Fatty Yu on my back.
Fatty Yu was still the same, even after pulling several times, there was no movement. At this time, I couldn't care so much. I first took one of his hands and yelled: "Get up!" Then I straightened my back and put him on my back.
But the fat man was so heavy that he almost pressed me to the point of vomiting blood. I shook my head secretly and greeted the fat man's ancestors as I walked. Fortunately, the corridor was not long, so I quickly reached the middle section. As soon as I left the area where the iron-eating Tai Sui was entangled, I saw the cliff.
However, Lao Ji and the others are not up there, so it seems like they should go back and find a way out. I walked to the sacrificial platform at the end of the stone corridor and put Fatty Yu on the sacrificial platform. I wanted to take a good rest, but suddenly I saw that Lao Ji had come out of the hole closest to the ground.
He is very familiar with things like these Qimen shields. As long as he is here, the maze is nothing at all. I was afraid that he would not see me, so I waved and shouted: "Old Ji, I am here!"
When Lao Ji saw me, he wanted to laugh, but his expression suddenly changed. He pointed behind me. I turned around and saw that the fat man had sat up at some point, and the ghost-eyed grass man was lying on his back. on his back, looking at me coldly.
My eyes were immediately fixed and I couldn't move away. But I don't know if it was because of the smoke inhalation. Although I couldn't turn my head, I didn't have any hallucinations. My eyes were in a trance, but my mind was very clear.
At this time, I suddenly heard the sound of Lao Ji and the others rushing towards me, and I screamed in my heart. They had never tasted the magic of this ghost-eyed grass man, so they didn't know how powerful it was. If they came here rashly, something would happen. I wanted to scream to remind them, but my throat seemed to be stuck with something. I opened my mouth wide but nothing could come out.
Suddenly I had a flash of inspiration and found that I could still move my hands a little bit. I immediately made a pistol gesture with both hands, pointing the gun head at the straw man's head, and kept pointing, shouting in my heart: "Wang!" Mian, you have to be smarter this time, if you still don’t understand this move, you can really eat Xiang!”
After just a few clicks, there was a gunshot, and the head of the Ghost-Eyed Grass Man was completely blown off in front of my eyes. I was opening my mouth at that time, and all the debris from the blast of the straw man was scattered on my face.
The strange thing is that the grass clippings seemed to have been soaked in some kind of potion. The smell was so unpleasant, like corpse water, that I almost vomited it out. Only then did I think that this was just a paper straw man, even if its pair of ghostly eyes were abnormally evil, it would not have caused me to be hit twice. There must be other secrets in it.
"Ugh..." I almost vomited everything in my stomach, then turned around and saw Wang Mian waving towards me in the distance, as if to show off his marksmanship. I cursed secretly, "If you miss, I'll smash your head into the toilet!"
It's a long way from Lao Ji's place to the sacrificial platform, and it's very dangerous to eat iron and Tai Sui along the way. But Lao Ji was very clever. He only used one move to lure the iron-eating Tai Sui away with stones, and then passed quickly. After a while, they climbed up to me.
Taking advantage of this time, I pinched my nose and checked the grass clippings on the ground. I found that the grass clippings on this ghost-eyed grass man were not the hay of the common grass man, but were all wet grass with good toughness. This It should be related to the fact that it has been soaked in special drugs. I examined it carefully and found that it contained wormwood, datura, sage, kava root, sage, etc., all of which are plants with hallucinogenic effects.
"Li Rui, are you okay?" At this time, Lao Ji and the others also arrived. He was very afraid that something would happen to me, so he immediately came over to see if I was okay. When he smelled the smell of grass clippings, he frowned and almost vomited.
However, this guy is more experienced than me after all, and he was able to endure it. After he recovered, he said, "These grasses have been soaked in corpse water, and they are all poisonous and will cause hallucinations."
As he spoke, he used an engineering shovel to scoop up a tree vine from the ground and said: "This thing is called ayahuasca, also called kapi wood. It has a wonderful hallucinogenic effect. It is regarded as a magic medicine by shamanism and is said to be able to purify Soul-wise, people can experience profound hallucinations after drinking ayahuasca-infused water during rituals.”
"Uncle Ji, this looks like a black-feathered jade cactus." At this time, Wang Mian also made a discovery on the ground.
Lao Ji nodded, "Pinch your nose, please. These things are made with special techniques. They can not only achieve hallucinogenic effects by eating them, but you will get sick if you smell them."
"It's not a good place to stay for a long time. Let's leave early." I said.
Lao Ji lowered his head and searched the ground, and finally found two red beads in a corner, which were the two "ghost eyes" of the ghost-eyed grass man.
"Lao Ji, what are you doing?" I hurriedly stopped him.
Lao Ji waved his hand, "It's okay, these two are fine Kong Ke beads, it would be a pity to lose them!"
I was hurt by a ghost-eyed grass man before, so I was extra vigilant about these two eyes. I thought that just looking at them would make them so embarrassed. It would be fine if you took them with you. No matter what you say, you can't let them go. He went to pick it up.
Lao Ji smiled and said: "You idiot, you are really stupid." As he said, he also knocked me on the head, "What do you think this ghost-eyed grass man is? You really think it has a pair of ghost eyes." Really? To tell you the truth, this thing is a scam, designed to fool you unsophisticated people."
I was stunned for a moment by what Lao Ji said. After listening to what he said, I realized that this ghost-eyed grass man is a relatively rare tool to prevent tomb robberies. The so-called "ghost eyes" are all made up out of thin air. The reason why it can take photos is The health of a person depends entirely on the specially processed herbs on his body.
"The presence of this ghost-eyed grass man here has another purpose, which is to mislead the tomb robbers," Lao Ji continued. "The tomb robbers thought that this was the tomb of Princess Jade Rabbit, and there must be a Jade Rabbit hidden in the tomb. Eyes, using ordinary thinking analysis, there is a high probability that the Eyes of the Jade Rabbit must be two rubies or Kongke beads, but as everyone knows, these are all traps deliberately set by the tomb builders."
After listening to Lao Ji's words, I suddenly felt a chill down my back, "No way, you mean, this is all a plot carefully arranged by the tomb builder?"
"The people who can come here are not ordinary people, but along the way, I have become more and more convinced that all the mechanisms in this tomb seem to be prepared for us tomb robbers."
"Well, isn't this nonsense? The mechanisms in the tomb are not prepared for tomb robbers, so who else can they be prepared for?" I didn't understand what Lao Ji said for a moment.
"Can't you guess it?" Lao Ji asked.
"Uh..." I paused, not knowing what to say. Yes, I guessed it. I know in my heart that if there really is the Canglong Qisu Key, then this ancient tomb must have been prepared for its descendants to visit here when it was first built.
It is for this reason that this ancient tomb was built with various possible situations in mind, so every mechanism in it is highly targeted, just to prevent anyone from getting there first.
Seeing Lao Ji stuffing the two Kong Ke beads into his bag with satisfaction, I couldn't help but ask: "Lao Ji, is the story about Princess Jade Rabbit true?"
"You said this is a story, do you think it is true?" Lao Ji sneered, "One third is true and seven is false. In short, all the things you encounter now can be related to that epitaph. Yes, it’s all fake.”
I touched my forehead where I was sweating, "Then what should we do next?"
"What else can we do? First try to find a way out." Lao Ji said.
"A way out? Where is the way out?"
"Maybe you have to ask someone to find out."
The person Lao Ji was talking about was Yan Yunshu. It seems that he thought of going with me. This Yan Yunshu came all the way to find me just for this ancient tomb. At first, I thought she was just asking for money, but now it seems that I have oversimplified the problem.
"No wonder she has the Canglong Qisu Key in her hand. It seems that she has a special relationship with the owner of this ancient tomb."
Lao Ji glanced at me with a smile, "It's really unusual. Haven't you noticed? We separated after Fatty Yu escaped and we never met her again?"
"Isn't it normal to get separated?"
"Is it normal?" Lao Ji snorted, "Do you know why I went after Fatty alone? In fact, I deliberately left Wang Mian and Lao Xuan behind. Wang Mian stayed here to help you, and Lao Xuan did it. To monitor Yan Yunshu and the others."
To be honest, I admired Lao Ji from the bottom of my heart at this time. It turned out that this guy had already suspected Yan Yunshu for a long time, and quietly placed his eyeliner next to her.
"There are seven Canglong Qisu keys in total. Your grandfather stole one from Yinshan back then, and the female corpse also had one in her mouth. The remaining five keys are probably in her hands," Lao Ji said.
I couldn't help but wonder: "Old Ji, since this Qiqiao exquisite lock can only be opened with seven Canglong Qisu keys, then my grandfather back then..."
"This is probably why Yan Yunshu had to ask you to come out." Lao Ji narrowed his eyes and said seriously: "Our Xunlong Taibao has a unique skill called the 'Thousand Machine Master', which is a unique skill that specializes in the study of hidden weapons. Your grandfather is an expert in this field, and there is no mechanism in the world that he doesn’t understand, so he should be able to open the Qiqiao exquisite lock with just one key."
I have only heard about the "Thousand Machine Master" and don't know much about it. But after thinking about it carefully, I think the analysis is reasonable, "So, Yan Yunshu is prepared for the worst. If she can't find it, With the last key, you decided to use the Thousand Machines Sage to forcefully open the Qiqiao Exquisite Lock?"
"I'm afraid that's what I mean." Lao Ji nodded.
