Card Room - 278. Chapter 395-396

[Chapter 395, Labyrinth Exit]

Lao Mo took the compass and set the position according to the angle calculated by Xiao Lou.

In order to reach the position of Tianquan Star as quickly as possible, Yu Hanjiang turned on the Qinggong card and took Xiaolou, Lao Mo took Liu Qiao, and Lu Jiuchuan also rode the Vermillion Bird. The group of people quickly walked 30 meters in the direction of due north, and then turned towards Keep going in the west direction.

Although there will be many forks along the way, there is a compass for positioning, so as long as the direction is accurate, you will not go wrong.

On the other hand, Ye Qi and Shao Qingge both have teleport cards. Long Sen and Qu Wanyue can use the “long jump master” to jump 8 meters at a time. Chu Huaying’s own movement speed is very fast, and Gui Yuanzhang’s brush is not bad. The floating air current was generated to assist the flight, and everyone swiftly followed the direction and distance mentioned by Xiao Lou.

Within 3 minutes, the six Guiyuan Zhangs came to a stone room.

Xiaolou and several people also happened to come from another direction.

Ye Qi said excitedly: “It seems that Professor Xiao’s speculation is correct. This should be the position of Tianquan Star?!”

Xiao Lou nodded: “Go in and take a look.”

Shimen closed tightly, unable to push.

There is a complicated “chess board” on the door, which is covered with white stones of the same size. The stone in the middle above is fixed, and the arrangement of the surrounding stones is extremely messy.

Lu Jiuzhou rubbed his chin and looked at the chessboard on Shimen, and asked, “Is it the endgame of Go?”

Yu Hanjiang immediately denied: “No. Go has black and white stones. There are only white stones on this board. How can I play with stones of one color?”

Lu Jiuchuan was not embarrassed when he guessed wrong, he laughed, “What is that? Do these stones represent stars?”

Gui Yuanzhang walked to Shimen to take a closer look, and nodded affirming Lu Jiuchuan’s speculation: “It should be a star map agency.”

Xiao Lou observed for a moment, and said: “The star map agency, all the white stones represent a star. We need to reset the star map to open this door. The fixed white stone in the middle…”

Gui Yuanzhang asked: “Is it the missing Tianquan star?”

Xiao Lou thought for a while, and said, “It’s in the middle of the top, and it might be the North Star.”

After that, he lightly touched the middle stone with his hand, and found that the stone could not move.

The ancients distinguished the position, and the North Star was a very important reference sign.

Driving at night, if you can find the North Star in the sky, it is true north, and the opposite is true south, up north and down south, left west and right east, so that you can guess where you are and not get lost.

The star map related to the North Star, and the theme of this tomb is “Seven Stars Crescent Moon”. Obviously, what they need to restore on the star map is the trajectory of the “Big Dipper”.

The moment Xiao Lou touched the North Star, the star map in front of him suddenly changed.

There are two white stones moving on the chessboard, and finally staying at the lower right corner of the chessboard, with the line facing the North Star.

Xiao Loudao: “This is a reminder item that helped us locate the Tianshu star and the Tianxuan star.”

After all, many challengers do not draw pictures while walking through the maze like Xiao Lou and others, and they may not be able to analyze that the connection to the lower living tomb is the symbol of the Big Dipper. Therefore, the star map mechanism in Shimen will give some hints to the challenger.

Seeing the Polaris in the north, and then seeing the line below, it is easy to infer that this is the figure of the Big Dipper.

No matter how the Big Dipper changes, the spoon part of the “colander” will definitely face the North Star. Now that Tianshu Star and Tianxuan Star have been positioned, it is not difficult for Xiao Lou to restore the other stars.

The connection with the Tianshu Tianxuan is at an obtuse angle, it is the Tianji star, and next to it is the Tianquan star…

Xiao Lou stretched out his slender fingers, picked up the stones on the chessboard according to the “colander” pattern in his memory, and quickly pieced together a star map of the “Big Dipper Array”.

After the star map was completed, a soft light lit up on the chessboard.

The mechanism of Shimen was unlocked, and everyone heard the sound of “banging” rising from Shimen.

Everyone looked at each other, and Tang Ci cautiously put the mechanical ant into the stone room first to see if there were any trampling mechanism inside. The ants turned around, and after confirming safety, Yu Hanjiang and Lu Jiuchuan walked into the stone room first.

The other teammates followed closely behind.

This stone room is about 100 square meters and is very spacious. The wall of the stone room is lit with a full circle of bright lights, illuminating the entire stone room with bright lights. A sarcophagus is placed on the middle stage. The volume of the sarcophagus is a circle larger than the living burial coffin found on the lower level, and the coffin is engraved with many strange charms.

Xiao Lou looked at the spells carefully, and it seemed to be the same as the totem found on the lower living burial coffin.

At this moment, the entire stone room shook violently. Everyone was shaken almost unsteadily. Yu Hanjiang hurriedly supported Xiaolou and said, “It seems that this maze is about to collapse. We have to hurry up!”

The lights of the ever-bright lights were constantly flickering, and some lime on the roof fell rustlingly like snow. Obviously, the explosion had affected the upper tomb, which was about to collapse soon.

Xiao Lou realized the seriousness of the problem, and hurriedly said: “Everyone looks at the surrounding walls separately, Hanjiang, see if you can open this sarcophagus!”

Yu Hanjiang nodded, flew to the front of the sarcophagus lightly, raised the saber in his hand, and slashed it horizontally–

The lid of the entire coffin was split instantly by his strong force.

Xiao Lou stepped forward and looked inside the coffin-there was a corpse lying inside. Around the bones, there were full of gold and silver jewelry, jade jewelry and other funerary items. Every piece of it looked invaluable. Shao Qingge couldn’t help but see here: “Can these finances be sold?”

Xiao Lou said, “Don’t move for now.”

He pulled these treasures aside with his hands, revealing the complete bones in the sarcophagus.

Judging from the shape of the pelvis and the bone quality, this should be an elderly man, and obvious degenerative changes can be seen on the edges of the vertebrae. The preliminary estimate is that he is over 50 years old.

Moreover, the most important thing is that his bones are only the torso-but his skull is missing.

Where’s his head?

Seeing this, the teammates looked at each other, Ye Qi couldn’t help but ask: “This corpse doesn’t have a head?”

Xiao Lou stared at the bones thoughtfully, and Yu Hanjiang said, “This time the Zhouchang Secret Room is called [Headless General Tomb]. Is this headless bone the owner of the ancient tomb?”

As soon as the voice fell, the sarcophagus suddenly moved to the side, revealing a downward step.

Ye Qi was overjoyed: “This is the exit of the maze, right?”

The teammates just wanted to go down and have a look, Xiao Lou suddenly said: “Don’t go down, something is wrong.”

He looked at the headless bones in the coffin, and said with doubts: “The ancients were most concerned about leaving the whole body after death. His tomb was so luxuriously repaired. Not only did he have six reincarnation mechanisms, but the lower floor even placed a seven-star arched moon burial coffin. Obviously, he wanted to evolve and become an immortal after his death, and Yongdeng Bliss…How could he let his head be separated?”

Ye Qi’s stepped foot quickly retracted: “It makes sense, the dead without a whole body should be the most taboo of the ancients.”

Gui Yuanzhang also nodded and said, “It’s really unreasonable. This corpse has no head. Maybe it was because he offended someone during his lifetime, and his head was chopped off by the enemy when he was buried?”

Ye Qi wondered: “The head was chopped off during the burial? If there is really a deep hatred, how can he only chop his head? Surely the corpse must be directly fed to the dog. Can he still lie in the tomb comfortably?”

Indeed, there is no one who only cuts his head and buries a person in a grave with deep hatred?

As Ye Qi said, the words of the enemy must have exposed the corpse wilderness, causing this person’s corpse to be gnawed by wild dogs.

Gui Yuan Zhang said: “There is another possibility-this is actually a suspected coffin.”

When Xiao Lou heard the words of Senior Gui, he immediately reacted: “Yes, the person in this coffin is not the owner of the tomb. He put a sarcophagus here and put a corpse without a head in it. It is just a way to confuse the tomb robbers. of!”

Blindfold, this is a common method used by the ancients in tombs.

In order to prevent future generations from coming to robber the tomb, they usually put some fake coffins and corpses to confuse the tomb robbers, and the real tomb owners often hide in more hidden places.

The name of Zhou Chang this time is “The Tomb of the Headless General”. After many twists and turns, everyone finally found the central tomb, and found a large number of gold and silver treasures and headless bones. Many people naturally subconsciously think that they have found the tomb. The main and the exit of the maze. If you are not cautious enough, you will probably go down this step…

Tang Ci released his mechanical ants: “I will investigate first.”

As the mechanical ants descended the steps, the sound of “swiping” sounded in everyone’s ears, Xiao Lou put the drone monitoring card on the mechanical ant, and everyone saw a scene from the card monitoring that was shocking. ‘S picture-

Going down from here, it turned out to be a machine room full of arrows!

As long as the challenger’s feet step on the slate tiles in the secret room, the mechanism will be triggered, and the surrounding walls will shoot densely poisoned arrows, making people unavoidable, a little careless, and even possible to be shot into a hedgehog…

Ye Qi was frightened when he watched it: “The little girl in the square film is too pitted, she played this way in the end!”

Lu Jiuchuan whispered: “I said she was a pervert a long time ago.”

Fortunately, Xiao Lou and Senior Gui thought calmly, if they were worried that the maze would collapse and they ran down the steps in a panic… The reaction was a little slower, but they were shot to death in the maze by random arrows.

Yu Hanjiang frowned: “This is a fake, where is the real tomb owner?”

Xiao Lou asked: “Did you find the surrounding walls again?”

Chu Huaying said: “All the surroundings have been checked. There are no compartments and no organs.”

Xiao Lou raised his head and looked over the coffin.

Since there are no organs on the surrounding walls of the stone chamber, and the secret room below is an arrow rain room deliberately pitting people, the greatest possibility is that there is another organ above it, and the one buried there is the real tomb owner.

Xiao Lou looked at the roof carefully.

This roof looks like an astrolabe, with densely decorated stones like a lot of stones. Among them is the largest stone, which can be used as a North Star. I looked down in the direction of the astrolabe on the stone gate and found the arrangement. The stones forming the “Big Dipper Array”, the colors of these seven stones are obviously brighter than the surrounding ones.

There are many vacancies around the Big Dipper Array, like grooves.

Those grooves… the shape looks familiar? There are round ones and crescent shaped ones…

Xiao Lou remembered the jewelry representing different tribes found in the living burial coffin before, and his mind flashed, and asked: “Go to the predecessors, have you brought all the things you found in the living burial coffin?”

Gui Yuanzhang stretched out his hand and handed the bracelet and pendant with the totem pattern to Xiao Lou.

Xiao Lou took out the wooden comb and jade pendant he found from his pocket, looked at Yu Hanjiang, pointed to the groove next to the star map on the roof, and said, “Hanjiang, try to see if you can put these things on the roof. Inside the groove.”

Yu Hanjiang flew up lightly and put four “credentials” in the groove——

One of the grooves can hold the bracelet; the semi-circular one can hold the wooden comb; the perfect round one can hold the jade pendant; there is also a pendant-shaped pendant, which is the wolf tooth pendant found by the Yuan Zhang.

The four props are placed in the four grooves, and they fit perfectly!

The corner of Xiao Lou’s lips raised: “The props found in the living burial coffin are the key to the final tomb.”

As the props were put in, everyone heard a “rumbling” sound, and the slate tiles above their heads suddenly separated to the sides, revealing a square skylight large enough for one person to pass through.

Lao Mo suddenly realized: “There is another layer above. It seems that this tomb is actually a three-layer structure?”

In order to avoid being trapped again, Tang Ci quickly released the drone to investigate. Soon, the drone flew back to his hands. The camera recorded the approximate image seen in the stone room. Tang Ci said: “In the secret room above. , And a sarcophagus.”

——This is the real master of the ancient tomb!

******

【Chapter 396, the identity of the tomb owner】

Confirming that there is no such thing as Jianyu, Yu Hanjiang jumped and flew up with a light effort. Lao Mo, Gui Yuanzhang, Long Sen and Qu Wanyue also jumped up.

For those without a light skill card, Yu Hanjiang put down Bai Ling and pulled up his teammates one by one.

The stone room above is twice as large as the previous one. It is a wide space of nearly 200 square meters, and the surrounding walls are covered with colorful murals.

There is a one-meter-high stone platform in the middle of the secret room with a sarcophagus on it.

Around the sarcophagus were lit three full circles of eternal lights, and there were a lot of yellow charms.

Xiao Lou walked quickly to the mural–

The murals on the four walls fully describe the life of the owner.

The owner of this ancient tomb is actually not a general, but an emperor from a small country in ancient times. He is not the eldest son, but the concubine born to the concubine. He was not favored when he was young, but was bullied. In order to get the throne, he endured the humiliation and took care of many brothers when he grew up. Eventually, he initiated a mutiny and bloodbathed the palace, killed the emperor who had just succeeded, and sat on the dragon chair by himself.

Probably he suffered too much when he was a child. His psychology gradually distorted. During his reign, he was tyrannical and inhumane. Judging from the murals, under his tyranny, countless people were killed and injured.

He suddenly began to believe in Buddhism in his later years, thinking that he was sinful and that he might go to hell after death, so he ignored political affairs every day, stayed in the palace and chanted, and frequently had nightmares.

The national teacher around him gave him an idea and asked him to build this “Seven-Star Arch Moon Tomb”, looking for young men and women of the four major tribes as sacrifices, placing them on the four stars of the Big Dipper array, and then looking for them. Two pairs of virgin boys and girls poured mercury into the body to save the corpse, and sealed the “Xian Qi” in the body to help him evolve into the fairy.

The old emperor believed in the words of the Guoshi, and spent a whole decade to build this tomb.

The entire tomb has a three-story structure, and the uppermost floor is his main tomb-high above, the location is still very hidden.

The first floor is an easy place for tomb robbers to find. There are agencies and labyrinths everywhere. Even if a later tomb robber enters the tomb, it will be a life of nine deaths. Even if the tomb robbers have the ability to reach the sky, successfully walked through the six reincarnation chambers and found the lower living tomb, they can follow the path to the leaf-shaped labyrinth, and they will be dizzy.

Moreover, he deliberately made a suspicious coffin and put a lot of gold and silver treasures in it, so that the intruder would mistakenly think that he had found the main tomb. If he relaxed down the steps, he would be shot into a hedgehog by a poisoned arrow. …

After reading the mural on the wall, Xiao Lou didn’t know what to say.

He is a materialist and does not believe in the saying of “cultivation to become immortals”. However, many ancients believed in these legends. To them, a live burial was just a ritual. Infusing children under ten with mercury to make the children die alive, in their opinion, is still a good thing to “preserve immortality”… …

Xiao Lou turned and returned to the sarcophagus: “Open the coffin and have a look.”

Yu Hanjiang used a saber to split the sarcophagus.

But the coffin was so strong that he didn’t respond when he went down. I don’t know whether the materials used are different, or the gatekeepers deliberately kept the coffin from being destroyed.

Xiao Lou leaned closer and looked at the spells around the coffin. These spells were very familiar, as if they were a bit like the spells in the six chambers of reincarnation, but they weren’t quite right after a closer look… They seemed to be distorted.

It was similar to the feeling of distorted appearance when taking the yin-yang mirror at that time?

Xiao Lou took out the Yin Yang mirror from his arms.

After taking a photo with the Yin Yang mirror, he discovered that the charm patterns around the coffin were indeed consistent with the charms in the six chambers of reincarnation.

Seeing this, Gui Yuanzhang also took out the Yin Yang mirror, and the two looked at each other: “Six reincarnation spells?”

Xiao Lou looked at the top of the sarcophagus carefully. He found a petal-like mark on the lid of the sarcophagus. He used the Yin Yang mirror to illuminate the spells and placed six different spells on the mark in the order of reincarnation.

A layer of soft light appeared on the mark.

Xiao Lou stretched out his hand to push the lid of the coffin. He just wanted to try it, but he didn’t expect it to actually push it away.

The teammates leaned over to look inside the sarcophagus.

I saw an old man in his fifties lying inside, wearing a dragon robe, with a serene face.

There is not much jewellery, gold and silver in the coffin, probably because he wants to cultivate to become an immortal.

The strange thing is that after so many years, the body of the tomb owner hasn’t rotted?

Although his face was slightly pale, and some corpses appeared on his body, the people buried in the tomb during the same period had been turned to bones. Doesn’t it make sense that his body is still well preserved?

Ye Qi asked curiously: “Did he also pour himself mercury? Isn’t the method of death very painful?”

Xiao Lou shook his head: “It’s not like pouring mercury. His corpse is not the same as the virgin boys and virgins we found, it feels more like the one mentioned in a fantasy novel…what magic weapon is used to preserve the remains.”

Gui Yuanzhang seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly said, “Open his mouth and take a look.”

Yu Hanjiang was right in front of the sarcophagus, and when he heard this, he stretched out his hand and pried open the deceased’s mouth with two fingers.

A soft beam of light shot out of the dead man’s mouth, and there was something in his mouth—

Shao Qingge narrowed his eyes: “Could it be the legendary jade cicada?”

When the ancients were buried, they often put some more valuable items in the mouth of the deceased, such as jade or night pearl. There is also a legend about the jade cicada. This kind of jade, which looks like a cicada, can prevent the body from decay after death.

The reason why the body of the tomb owner did not corrode was probably because of the “Jade Cicada” in his mouth.

Xiao Lou said, “Take it out and have a look?”

Yu Hanjiang took out the jade cicada the size of a thumb. The next moment, the corpse in the sarcophagus decayed in front of everyone at a speed visible to the naked eye. The flesh and blood fell like a wall, leaving only the thick bones. .

Everyone: “…”

This picture is almost like a horror movie, and it makes people scalp numb.

At this moment, the entire maze began to shake violently again, and everyone was shaken to stand unsteadily and almost hit the wall next to them.

A door appeared on the side of the stone room, and Xiao Lou’s expression changed: “Go!”

Tang Ci sent mechanical ants to explore the way, and everyone followed behind the mechanical ants and ran all the way.

Behind them, countless rocks rolled down, rubble splashed everywhere, dust was flying in the air, and the vibration caused by the collapse of the tomb was even more terrible than a major earthquake!

Yu Hanjiang flew with Xiao Lou’s wrist tightly, and the other teammates also had their own skills.

Everyone has the speed of fleeing for his life, and can’t take care of the others at all. There is only one thought left in his mind-run!

When they finally saw the light ahead, when everyone jumped out, a loud “bang” suddenly came from behind, and the entire tomb completely collapsed, and the three-story maze was instantly buried by boulders and dust.

Xiao Lou looked back at the completely buried maze, his heart beating. He was so nervous that he could barely breathe just now when he was taken by Yu Hanjiang to fly, but fortunately, he escaped at the last second.

Xiao Lou looked around: “Are you all okay?”

The teammates were all gray-headed and dirty-faced. When the maze collapsed, everyone’s hair was covered with dust, and the clothes were so dirty that they couldn’t be seen, as if they were rolling in a circle…

But fortunately, running fast enough, no one was injured.

“It’s okay!” “There are surprises but no dangers.”

Listening to the words of his teammates, Xiao Lou breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, a shiny floating frame popped up in front of everyone at the same time.

[Congratulations to Xiaolou’s team for successfully clearing the regular movie “Tomb of the Headless General”, the ranking is being settled…]

[Your team, in this maze challenge, a total of 4 hours, 38 minutes and 44 seconds]

[Ranked first in the world]

[Please find the Fang film gatekeeper to receive the reward]

Seeing the prompt in the last line, everyone was stunned.

World number one?

It seems that this time, they were a blessing in disguise!

The hunters put explosives in the maze, and the whole tomb was crumbling. In order to escape for their lives, they had to give up the idea of trial and error, and ventured to use reasoning to make a desperate move.

It turned out to be the shortest time and the first team to leave the weekly maze?

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Finally out of the maze, not easy!

I have a good idea about the latter copy, and it should be over with 2-3 more copies 🙂
