In the darkness, there was an extremely huge ancient building complex, with a dull gray appearance like a fossil, standing majestically and heavily in the cave in front of him.
The quaint and ancient buildings have stacked cornices. After years of changes and the baptism of vicissitudes of life, they seem to be silently telling the repressive and mysterious legends contained within them for thousands of years.
His throat throbbed uncontrollably. Zhang Zhuxun tried his best to suppress the shock in his heart and looked away from the huge building.
The exit of the crack was on the mountain wall, tens of meters above the ground. Zhang Zhu dug out and climbed down with his bare hands. As soon as his feet touched the ground, he immediately ran towards the ancient building.
Finally standing in front of this great masterpiece of art, I looked up and realized that I was so small in front of this ancient beast. I was like a grain of fine sand in the sea, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
If it weren't for the fact that the scene was wrong, he would have really wanted to shout at the top of his lungs to vent the uncontrollable excitement in his heart.
This may be unique to every Zhang family member, and they have a strong feeling for their home here. This is a home, a home built for the Zhang family who wander all over the world.
At this moment, he suddenly understood the meaning of Zhang Qiling's identity, which was not only to guard the door, raise spirits, and support the coffin, but also to return home and bring all the Zhang family members home.
In an instant, he had the urge to cry. After going through many difficulties and dangers, he finally found the ancient building of the Zhang family.
This is the destination, the end point for all the Zhang family. He can walk in from here openly and take the little brother, Fatty Wu Xie and the others out.
The empty cave was cold and silent, and his breathing was infinitely magnified at this moment. Zhang Zhuxun took a deep breath, like a soldier going out for the first time, walking up the steps step by step with a warm heart.
The door to the building in front of you was covered with brown and white dust. The rotten wooden door was pushed open a narrow crack. There was a palm print on the door frame. The fingerprint was very slender. It was obvious that the person who pushed the door was Wu Xiaoxie. If he was a fat man, the palm The mark must be wider than this.
Zhang Zhuxun took out a set of protective clothing from the space and put on a gas mask. There must be a lot of alkali dust deposited inside, so it would be better to inhale less.
Aang entered through the gap and saw a series of footprints on the ground. The footprints wandered around the hall for several times, especially concentrated under the large hole in the central ceiling that was broken by corrosion.
There was no rope hanging on it, so it seemed that the two of them finally found the invisible staircase in the building.
Without any further hesitation, Zhang Zhuoxun went back inside and closed the door. He walked to the easternmost pillar carved with a unicorn, stepped on the protruding unicorn head and quickly climbed up. Then he pressed on the unicorn head at the top. The wooden stairs Then he descended from above.
The process is the same as before, except that the sixth level they passed through before is now called the second level.
If Zhang Zhuxun and his brother took Huo Xiangu and the others to the right side of the flip door at the beginning, then the final place they entered would be the same as the place they entered from the main entrance of the ancient building.
Just like the Tai Chi yin and yang fish, it is separated from the middle. The left side of the flip door is the back of the ancient building, also called the yin side, while the main entrance is the yang side, so the floors here are counted from bottom to top like normal floors, and the yin side is exactly the opposite.
Zhang Zhuxun climbed up the wooden stairs. The second floor still contained shelves with iron figurines, but the arrangement was a little messy, as if it had experienced an earthquake. Some of the shelves had tilted and collapsed, and the iron figurines on them fell down and were piled up randomly. together.
Two lines of footprints, one wide and one thin, passed through the middle of the shelf, and you could see many traces left by Wu Xiaoxie and Wu Xiaoxie along the way.
Zhang Zhuxun didn't stop for long and found the hidden stairs as quickly as possible. There was also a human-faced turtle placed on the upper floor. This human-faced turtle was not as big as the one with the dark side, and the expression on his face was also peaceful. It looks a lot like a thangka benevolent god.
Just like the black corpse sky with two faces in the Bhadra religion, also called Mahakala. It is the incarnation of Shiva in Brahmin. The front face is good, representing honesty and a series of beautiful things. There are also two faces on the back of the head. With a face that represents lies and all the evil things in the world.
There is also a large black ball engraved with human facial features on the back of the human-faced turtle, but it looks like a decoration and cannot be removed. It is made using the same method as the rolling ball in the mouth of the stone lion, with a relatively high technical content. The high and relatively rare hollow carving method requires a tool to be inserted into the carving, which is very demanding on the ability of the craftsman.
But this naturally does not trouble the Zhang family. Even if it is a fake used to make symmetrical and beautiful pairs, the workmanship must be excellent.
There were several wooden boxes that had been pried open on the ground not far away. The wood was already rotten, and there were four or five bullet casings left by the bullets on the sides.
Zhang Zhu went over and picked up a bullet casing. His tentacles were cold. It seemed that the two people had left here for a while.
But these two guys are really careless. They knocked down someone's hand mound and threw it around like this. If there was a good treasure buried with it, the fat man might light three cigarettes and pretend to pay homage and say goodbye to my ancestors. Strange.
Seeing that these boxes were all rotten, Zhang Zhuxun took out several complete wooden boxes from the space, covered them with flannel, took out the dry hand bones from the original hand mounds, put them into the new boxes, and placed them neatly.
He lit three more incense sticks and burned them. He picked up two small wooden boards and sandwiched the incense sticks between them. After the last inch of cigarette ash fell to the ground, he took the boxes and climbed up the beam from the edge wall. There was still a lot of room in the room. On the chessboard, re-hang the graves that had been moved.
The hand mounds hanging on the top were so dense that the original position of the hand bones could no longer be found. After doing this, Zhang Zhuxun found the stone steps Wu Xiaoxie and the two walked up on the corresponding wall.
The attic on the next floor turned into tower compartments, which was the coffin room on the side where Huo Xiaoli had dug holes under the altar table to make noises in the east and west.
Zhang Zhuxun had already heard the sounds of wandering footsteps coming from the corridor, as well as the voices of people whose faces were deliberately covered, and their voices were a bit blurry.
He immediately followed the sound and quickly walked over to find the room that was back to back with Zhang Ruitong's coffin chamber. Then he saw that the wooden door of the coffin chamber was completely slapped on the floor, and the inside was a dark, smoky mess. When I looked up, holy shit, even the top cover was burned through.
He was stunned for a moment. When he came to his senses, his face was covered with black lines, and he held his forehead helplessly. What on earth were these two people doing?
Why did you order all the boards of other people’s coffins? After entering here, the voice became much clearer.
I only heard the fat man cough twice.
"Hey, Tianzhen, where do you think Muyu and the little brother will hide? This place doesn't look like a place to hide people. The coffin is so broken. It can block the lower three paths, but it can't block the upper three paths. road."
"I guess Muyu and the others are hiding in a secret room or a hidden compartment or something." Wu Xiaoxie analyzed.
"Since they left you to report to the outside world, it means that they had a premonition that they might encounter something very dangerous in the ancient building. They were not sure they could protect you, so I guess the casualties in the team must be serious. Muyu and Muyu may have also been injured."
"Secret room...Secret room..." the fat man muttered, looking around.
"Where is the secret room?"
"This place is so big, it's like a super-large funeral parlor. Hey, do you think the Zhang family even bought an extra-large refrigerator here? Muyu and the little brother are hiding in it right now." Fatty started. nonsense.
Wu Xiaoxie rolled her eyes at him.
"You think the pickled cabbage has no oxygen and is suffocated inside." The fat man covered the lower half of his face with the coat he took off, coughed a few times, spit out a mouthful of black blood, and took two breaths. He said: "We have to speed up. If you continue to breathe in this poisonous gas, sooner or later you will become like me."
"Okay." Wu Xiaoxie nodded,
"The footprints on the floor are messy. It seems that they stayed here for a long time. They took away all the good things in Zhang Ruitong's coffin. Let's follow the footprints to look in other coffins. General darkrooms are It's hidden in the corner of the wall. Let's go to the last room." After saying that, the two of them walked out and went to the corridor outside. The fat man shouted: "Innocent, look, the footprints are all facing the same direction. And it’s very messy.” Wu Xiaoxie thought thoughtfully,
"It seems that they may have encountered something difficult here, or maybe..."
"It's to avoid." He turned around and looked behind him. The wooden eaves attic was still gray and depressed.
"There is something very scary chasing them." Fatty Yan thought what he said made sense and turned around.
"Could it be that besides Milotuo, there are some big monsters hidden in this ancient building - monsters - holy shit! Monster! Run away!" When he turned around, the fat man subconsciously shined the lamp in his hand behind the two of them.
As a result, after taking this photo, he suddenly came face to face with a loose, short gray figure standing quietly at the door of the coffin chamber. He immediately screamed and dragged Wu Xiaoxie and ran away without thinking.
Wu Xiaoxie didn't even see the gray shadow clearly before he staggered and had to stumble along.
Zhang Zhuxun, who was wearing gray-white protective clothing: "..." Seeing the two people running, the dust and alkali foam flew all over the sky, almost covering their figures. If they ran further, they would be choked without being poisoned. died.
He quickly took off the gas mask on his face and shouted at the backs of the two of them: "Innocent, Fatty, it's me, don't run away!" After hearing this, the two men ran faster. I wish I could grow one hundred and eight scuds and teleport away all of a sudden.
Zhang Zhuoxun also heard the fat man shouting breathlessly: "Don't look back, you are so naive. This monster can actually imitate the voice of a wooden fish. Don't be fooled." Wu Xiaoxie heard him say this As soon as he said that, he felt something lying on his back. He flicked his hand back twice and knocked off the water bottle hanging on his backpack.
When he heard something falling on the ground, he screamed out. Sayazi ran faster than Fatty, and Fatty, who was originally running in the lead, was dragged by him to run.
Zhang Shuxun, who was behind, was completely confused, so he simply stopped shouting, put on his gas mask again, and chased after the two of them, intending to knock them down and control them first.
The corridor quickly reached the end, and the footsteps coming from behind were so fast and furious that Wu Xiaoxie and the two of them went crazy with fear.
Looking left and right, he found that there was no place to hide. Wu Xiaoxie threw his feet anxiously, thinking that it was over, why not just fight.
Just as Yan was about to turn around and call the fat man to join him, the fat man suddenly grabbed Wu Xiaoxie's belt, slumped his shoulders, inhaled, stood up steadily, yelled, and was about to lift him up and throw him onto the coffin chamber.
The fat man's move was too sudden. Wu Xiaoxie was not ready yet. He only felt a pinch in his crotch and waved his hands wildly to keep his balance. Then he heard a cracking sound of a wooden board breaking.
Before he could react, the fat man thrust one of his feet through the hole in the wooden floor. His body tilted, and Wu Xiaoxie fell down and fell into a ball with him.
The moment they fell to the ground, neither of them bothered to hold their heads. They moved their elbows forward to block their faces, covered their mouths and noses tightly, and closed their eyes tightly while holding their breath.
In a hurry, he didn't have time to adjust his posture. The fat man's head hit Wu Xiaoxie's stomach directly. Wu Xiaoxie groaned in pain and felt nausea in his throat. He felt that the fat man's head was shaking his internal organs. Pushed out.
With a bang, gray smoke flew everywhere, and dust flew up like snow. Zhang Zhuxun, who was chasing behind, didn't expect such a situation at all. His expression suddenly changed, and he threw out a large thickened tarpaulin from the space. Before the dust fell, he waved his hand and covered the two of them, helping them. They block.
Wu Xiaoxie only felt that half a century had passed, but the burning pain on her back that she imagined did not come, and there was no scary monster rushing to bite them, and the elbows of her two arms were bumping hard. painful.
I was wondering if it was just an illusion. I was about to call the fat man, but as soon as I moved, I heard a series of crunching sounds of bones rubbing from above my head.
Wu Xiaoxie was so frightened that he immediately stopped and cursed in his mind that this stupid monster was really a thief. He had been silent for such a long time. Now it was over. The monster must have discovered that he and the fat man were still alive. .
After a few snapping sounds of bones, there was no sound from the top of the head again. When Wu Xiaoxie and Fatty fell to the ground, their legs were somehow mixed together. The four legs were stacked on top of each other. The sad thing was that the bottom leg belonged to Wu Xiaoxie.
After lying on the ground for so long, the leg was so compressed that he almost lost all feeling. Wu Xiaoxie wanted to move to let the blood flow in, but as soon as he moved a centimeter, he was immediately restrained by the fat man's huge leg. live.
He almost vomited blood, thinking that my life was at risk. Ai waited for a long time, but did not see any attack. Just as he was wondering, he heard a sigh, and a ray of white light shined on the two people's faces through the gap.
"I said, how long are you two going to hug each other here?"
"We haven't seen each other for just a few days, but my face has already reached such a scary level?"
