As soon as Ying Zheng walked into the ice-blue corridor, a biting wind blew in his face, making him shudder.
Ji Fa followed in and said slowly: "Don't be afraid, this is not a mechanism, it's just that the space is relatively closed. When it is suddenly opened, there will be an airflow offset."
Ying Zheng felt relieved and reached out to take back the torch Jing Fan held for him.
"Let's go, there is another stone gate ahead." Ji Fa said, "Then there is no need for the black iron snail for the second stone gate."
"If you don't need Black Iron Snail...then what method should be used?" Ying Zheng asked softly.
"What methods have you used before?" Ji Fa asked back.
"I used bloody handprints before..." Ying Zheng murmured.
"Haha, that's the way."
Ying Zheng: "..."
It seems that he still needs to get stabbed.
"Master." Ying Zheng came closer to Ji Fa and said, "The airflow system you just mentioned is very important to the royal tomb. I heard Meng Yi say that if the torch is extinguished when visiting the tomb, tens of millions of dollars will be lost." Don't go any further inside, because the tomb is full of turbid air."
"Well, he is right." Ji Fa said, "The so-called turbid gas is dirty gas that lacks oxygen. If we inhale this turbid gas, we will suffocate."
"Small tombs naturally have no mechanisms, let alone an air flow system, so most of them are filled with turbid air that has accumulated for many years. When encountering a tomb like this, you must either wait a few more days before entering, or give up altogether."
"After all, a person can survive without food and water for a while, but if he doesn't breathe, he won't survive even half a quarter of an hour, and he will die."
"That's right." Ying Zheng said, "It seems that maintaining smooth airflow throughout the tomb is really crucial."
"Do you still remember the mechanism on the fourth floor?" Ji Fa said, "The pair of stone lions sprayed poisonous gas from their mouths."
"How could I not remember?" Ying Zheng said, "I was so nervous at the time. I thought all those people were going to be confessed there."
"Spraying poison gas is pretty good." Ji Fa said with a smile, "At least the antidote will be sprayed out after unlocking the mechanism. The most amazing thing about the air flow system is that it drains all the air instantly. If it is an ordinary person, it will definitely I can’t get out of this royal tomb.”
Ying Zheng took a breath of air and looked at Jing Fan subconsciously.
After all, among the three, only Jing Fan is an ordinary person.
What Ji Fa meant was that if the Tiancheng lineage encountered that kind of situation, they would basically be fine.
This means that after breaking through the limit, Tiancheng Yimai's breath-holding time is much longer than before.
Regarding this, Ying Zheng has never tried it, and he will really have to give it a try when he returns to the palace.
Naturally, Jing Fan didn't understand the meaning behind the two people's words, so he just subconsciously took two deep breaths, as if he wouldn't be able to take in the next moment and needed to reserve more.
While we were chatting, we had reached the end of the blue passage, turned a corner, and there was another passage in front of us. However, the color of the passage in front of us was slightly lighter and more spacious.
After passing through the second passage, another stone door appeared in front of you.
This stone door is different from the one just now. It has a rather weird shape. Both doors have a row-like structure, like two combs intertwined.
In front of the stone gate, there is a tall and powerful statue of a mythical beast. The face looks a bit like a tiger, but the ears are longer and erect. The fangs are also very thick. The eyes are not big, but the pupils are slender. , some eyes that resemble poisonous snakes, looking a little cautious.
The front paws of this mythical beast are very thick, the hind legs are slender, and the tail is similar to an ox's tail.
It must be said that this statue is very vivid and its size seems to be based on the real size.
"It's very powerful." Ji Fa looked at Ying Zheng and said, "But this is not a tiger."
Ying Zheng knew that this should be one of the nine guardian beasts, but Jing Fan was by his side, so it was easy to ask questions.
As expected by Ying Zheng, this stone statue is indeed one of the nine guardian beasts, ranking seventh.
狴犴.
As expected, Ji Fa didn't reveal the origin of the stone statue. He came to the stone statue first and bowed respectfully.
Ying Zheng also bowed and saluted with Jing Fan.
"This stone statue will also emit poisonous mist." Ji Fa stood up and said, "So the passage mechanism must be opened in advance."
"Where is this mechanism?" Ying Zheng approached Ji Fa and asked.
Ji Fa pointed to a nail on the left front paw of the Bi'an stone statue and said, "Just drop your own blood on it."
Ying Zheng nodded, took out the dagger in his arms, then hesitated and asked, "Does this have to be the case every time you come here?"
"Yes!" Ji Fa said, "If you are afraid of pain, it's okay to prepare a little more blood when you go back."
Ying Zheng: "..."
After cutting his finger, Ying Zheng dripped blood on the nail, only to find that the blood did not flow elsewhere. Instead, it seemed to be absorbed by the stone statue. In just a few breaths, the few drops of blood disappeared.
Gulu.
A sound similar to swallowing came from the throat of the stone statue.
Perhaps this is a signal to stop spewing poisonous smoke.
Looking at the stone door behind the stone statue, the left half moved forward and the right half moved backward. No sound was made from the intersection.
As the stone door opened, the space inside was gradually revealed to the three people.
However, it was dark again and nothing could be seen.
Just as Ying Zheng was about to ask something, he saw Ji Fa walking behind the stone statue of Bi An, slapping one of the statue's hind legs a few times with his hand, and then grabbing the tail of the statue and pulling it hard in the other direction.
The tail of the stone statue moved to the other side.
This tail is actually movable, but you can't really tell from its surface.
Immediately, after hearing two gurgling sounds from the inside of the stone door, a slight light suddenly emitted from the inside of the stone door.
The bright light was slightly red, and became more and more intense and rich.
In just a few breaths, the inside of the stone door was already bright. The fiery red color formed a great visual contrast with the blue brilliance outside, like water and fire colliding together, and the stone door was the dividing line. and the breaking point of strength.
Ying Zheng's brows moved, and the scene in front of him had a feeling of déjà vu.
"Let's go." Ji Fa waved his hand without any extra words.
Ying Zheng wanted to ask something, but he also knew that the time was not right, so he took Jing Fan and followed him.
When he came to the stone door, Ying Zheng discovered that the stone door was very thick, but the staggered opening at the intersection was very smooth and flat. It looked like it was carefully crafted with large pieces of dense stone.
After crossing the stone gate, there was also a current of air blowing, but it was not a dark wind, but a warm current, which felt quite comfortable.
The temperature of this red channel is obviously higher than that of the blue channel just now. I don't know if it is related to the change in color.
"Put out all the torches, just keep me here." Ji reminded in a loud voice.
Ying Zheng and Jing Fan responded at the same time, extinguished the torches together, and continued to move forward with Ji Fa.
For some reason, Ying Zheng was in a happy mood when walking in the blue passage just now, and he didn't feel nervous at all. But after walking into the red passage, he felt more uneasy and anxious, so he quickly calmed down. Control your emotions.
After all, he had broken through the limit, and Ying Zheng's mood could be adjusted quickly. After the irritability was gone, he turned to look at Jing Fan, only to see a few drops of cold sweat flowing down Jing Fan's forehead. His breathing It's also slightly hurried.
Ji Fa stopped and took out a kit from his arms and handed it to Jing Fan: "Take one of the red pills here first, and then take one every quarter of an hour until we get out."
Jing Fan nodded, opened the brocade bag and ate one without asking any further questions.
In the past six months, Jing Fan has been almost inseparable from Ji Fa in Lishan, and he has deep admiration for Ji Fa in his heart.
and admiration can be expressed in terms of worship
Description, so he would not have any doubts about what Ji Fa said.
"Drink some water and calm down." Ji Fa said to Jing Fan, "The environment here can indeed make people irritable and restless. As long as you think of interesting things, you will be fine."
"Okay." Jing Fan nodded and said with a smile, "Let's keep walking. This is not a problem."
Ji Fa glanced at Jing Fan with encouraging eyes, and then continued to move forward with the two of them.
The length of this red corridor seemed to be similar to that of the blue corridor just now. At the end, a corner was turned, and the third stone door finally appeared in front of them.
The shape of this stone door is even more peculiar. It is round as a whole. Inside is a Tai Chi pattern. Yang fish and yin fish are arranged on the left and right. It seems to be made of black and white dense stones.
In front of the Taiji Gate is a statue of the same height as a real person. His face is somewhat blurry. He is dressed like a general. He wields a long sword in his right hand and points directly at the sky. His left hand holds the scabbard tied around his waist and his feet are forward. Stand in a T-step.
Looking at the statue, Ying Zheng murmured and asked, "Master, isn't this statue also a mechanism?"
"Haha." Ji Fa smiled and said, "It seems that your reasoning ability is much stronger than before."
Ji Fa's words were acquiescence. This stone statue was also a mechanism that opened the Tai Chi Stone Gate in front.
Ying Zheng reluctantly took out the dagger again and was about to cut his finger, but unexpectedly Ji Fa complained angrily: "I just finished praising you, and your mind is confused. Didn't I say before that these three words The stone gate opens in a different way, so your blood is not needed this time."
"Oh." Ying Zheng responded and put away the dagger. He was naturally happy that he no longer had to be stabbed, so he asked with a smile, "Then how to activate this mechanism?"
"Where is your Xuanyuan Sword?" Ji Fa asked.
The secret of Xuanyuan Sword does not need to be carried behind Jing Fan's back. I think Jing Fan used this sword to imitate a golden sword for Hu Yu.
Ying Zheng untied the ribbon wrapped around his waist and took out the Xuanyuan Sword wrapped inside.
Under the reflection of the red light, the golden light flashed by the Xuanyuan Sword also looked quite strange.
"Pull out the Xuanyuan Sword and insert it into the scabbard in the hand of the stone statue. This mechanism can be activated." Ji Fa pointed to the left hand of the stone statue and said.
"Okay." Ying Zheng pulled out the golden sword and walked towards the stone statue.
But when Ying Zheng was still about ten feet away from the statue, he suddenly felt a buzzing in his ears, a sudden tinnitus, which made him have a splitting headache and his mind was in a trance. Then he knelt down on one knee, The expression is also quite painful.
"Your Majesty!" Jing Fan didn't know what happened to Ying Zheng, so he subconsciously ran to help Ying Zheng, but Ji Fa raised his hand to stop him.
At this moment, Xuanyuan Sword seemed to tremble slightly, and then a dense golden light suddenly appeared on the sword. This golden light followed Ying Zheng's arm and extended to Ying Zheng's whole body.
Ying Zheng's pupils suddenly regained clarity, and the buzzing in his ears disappeared. He put his hands on his knees, stood up straight again, and felt the connection with the Xuanyuan Sword.
Looking at Ying Zheng, whose whole body was glowing with a faint golden light, Jing Fan was stunned.
Is this golden sword so magical?
Why have I never seen this before?
Ying Zheng calmed down and walked slowly towards the stone statue again, but this time, he was not disturbed by any more.
Walking to the foot of the stone statue, Ying Zheng carefully observed the stone statue's left hand holding the scabbard. It seemed that this arm was much thicker than a normal arm, and even thicker than the right hand of the stone statue.
Without any time to think, Ying Zheng followed Ji Fa's instructions and slowly inserted the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand into the scabbard of the stone statue.
However, after several breaths passed, there was no reaction.
But just when Ying Zheng turned his head and wanted to ask Ji Fa, he only heard a "bang" sound.
There was a gap in the Taiji Gate.
