Ding-ding-ding-ding——
The sound of copper bells rang harshly in the underground palace. On the waist of the dead man whose eyes were stabbed and whose neck was cut open, there was a Feng Shui master's Feng Shui bell. The Feng Shui master walked towards the stone bridge by touching the tomb path.
"Is there anyone...is there anyone...help me, I can't see anything, ah, my eyes hurt..."
Seeing such a horrifying scene, the old Taoist priest subconsciously approached Jin An again.
"Little brother, the person who died was a member of the Tianshi Mansion. Look at the eyeball in his hand. Is it the gem that was taken away from the stone bridge?" the old Taoist priest said in a low voice.
In fact, the old Taoist priest didn't need to tell him that Jin An had already noticed that there was something wrong with the dead man in front of him.
Before Jin An could speak, the dead man's hearing was sharp. Even though the old Taoist priest tried his best to lower his voice, he was still heard.
"My benefactor, help me!"
"Please help me...ah! My eyes hurt!"
The Feng Shui master ran over with a happy face, shouting with joy as he ran, and the fat tongue dyed strange blue in his mouth grew longer and longer, reaching up to his neck in the blink of an eye.
That blue tongue is fat and big. It is really scary in this dark and dark underground palace. No one would like it to be close to it.
The Feng Shui master was in vain. Jin An took the old Taoist priest and the sharp sword and stepped aside. The Feng Shui master kept circling in place and refused to leave.
Jin An kicked his toes thoughtfully, and a stone flew out from under his feet and fell on the stone bridge. It bounced a few times. As expected, the Feng Shui master who had been wandering in place was attracted by the sound of the stone, like a blind man in Mohe. Walking onto the stone bridge with shrill screams.
Boom!
Another stone flew to the open space further away from the stone bridge. In this open underground palace, the sound spread far away.
The Feng Shui master walked farther and farther on the stone bridge with a shrill scream, and slowly walked across the stone bridge to the other side.
This is called disaster moving eastward.
Jin An wanted to see what or who it was that was sneaking behind them and refusing to show up.
Listening to the screams getting further and further away, until the Feng Shui master's back completely disappeared in the tomb passage on the other side of the stone bridge, the old Taoist breathed out a sigh of relief.
"Little brother, you are still very good at causing trouble to move eastward." The old Taoist priest said with a low smile and gave Jin An a thumbs up.
result.
They waited for a long time, but there was no movement in the morgue tower over there.
Instead, the screams moved away, gradually became blurred, and finally became completely inaudible.
"Could it be that the people following us also belong to the dirty things in the underground palace, so the two dead people didn't fight when they met?" the old Taoist priest guessed in surprise.
"Cut the sword, what do you think?" Jin An looked at the sword.
The living man was sharpening his sword with a look of death, and once again he lay on the ground, listening to the sounds coming from the ground. When he stood up again, he shook his head, indicating that he could no longer hear the sound.
The old Taoist priest's face tightened, and he said that he must be telling the truth. There are really dead people hiding in this underground palace. With so many of them going down to the underground palace, there are also other dead people who have always been in this underground palace. Awakened by a disturbance?
To be honest, Jin An was also a little impatient with waiting.
We can't keep doing this and waiting.
Don't do anything serious.
Jin An: "Forget it, let's not worry about the dead or alive. Since they have been refusing to show up, let's catch up with Prince Xiao Ling and the others as soon as possible. We have just come down to the underground palace and have encountered so many things one after another, especially when there are The protection of three masters, King Xiaoling, Monk Qianshi, and Daoyou Xu, could not stop two people from dying. There are too many strange and dangerous places in this underground palace. The deeper you go into the underground palace, the greater the danger."
What Jin An said made sense, and the old Taoist priest would naturally not object, so the three of them continued on their way.
This time I couldn't help but speed up my pace, wanting to catch up with the others as soon as possible.
After crossing the stone bridge, there was also a tomb passage. As soon as the three of them entered the tomb passage, they saw blood stains on the ground.
"Little brother, look, it's the blood that the Feng Shui master dripped on the ground along the way. The Feng Shui master came from the Tianshi Mansion. These blood stains are the best guideposts and can directly guide us to King Xiao Ling and the others." The old Taoist priest said happily.
But before they had gone far, the blood stains on the ground suddenly turned into an underground rock crack, and they did not continue along the tomb passage.
Jin An squatted on the ground, holding a torch and carefully shining a light on the dust on the ground. The footprints on the ground were messy. People walked through the dust, leaving a large number of footprints, including shoe prints walking forward and shoe prints returning. .
Jin An, who was confused, carefully distinguished the number of footprints in the dust, and unexpectedly found that the number of returning footprints was almost the same as the number of forward footprints.
"Is everyone going back? There should be a dead end ahead or some danger, so these people have to go back the same way."
Jin An stood up, moved his legs and feet that were numb from squatting, and came back to the rock crack. He held a torch and reached into the dark crack. In addition to blood stains, there were many messy footprints on the ground.
This gap is long, narrow, and crowded, and can only accommodate one person passing sideways. It is uneven under the feet, and there are no traces of artificial carving or polishing.
"It seems that after being blocked in the tomb passage, Prince Xiao Ling and others walked back again, and finally descended into the rock crevice."
Jin An continued to think deeply: "Look at the stone walls of the tomb passage on both sides of the crack. There are obvious signs of cracking and falling. This gap should have been cracked by the earthquake along with the deep valley outside. There was originally no road here."
"But Prince Xiao Ling and the others were able to enter here, and there were no traces of coming back, which means that this path that was later shaken out is not a dead end, but can lead to other places in the underground palace smoothly... This time I put the sword in front, and I will be in charge. Behind the scenes, we will directly follow their footsteps and go down here."
Jin'an's torch illuminated the crack, and then illuminated the path behind them. They had been delayed for so long, and the movement that had been following them did not appear again.
…
The cracks opened by the earthquake were really difficult to walk through. On the way, the three of them passed sideways and slowly. Sometimes they encountered the narrowest places and even had to inhale and retract their stomachs to pass.
You can imagine how difficult this road is to walk.
This road is very steep and not easy to walk at all. It is uneven underfoot and you can clearly feel that it is sloping downwards, leading deeper into the ground.
They just walked all the way up from the morgue tower, and not long after that, they walked down steeper all the way, and they had to always be prepared for the danger behind them, just like this in the dark and the oppressive feeling of not daring to take a big breath. , I don’t know how long they walked, but the team suddenly stopped. It was Xiajian who was walking in the front and suddenly stopped.
"Sharp sword, what's wrong?"
Jin An, who was in charge of the rear of the palace, could not see the environment in front, so he could only ask in a low voice in the narrow crack.
