The handsome man in the entertainment industry

If he died through the heart, then it proves that there is a hidden weapon here, and it should have entered the scope of Jiang Zhenren's tomb.Thinking about it, Ruan Mudeng stretched out his hand to touch the stone wall beside him. It really seemed to be much smoother than the natural tunnel he had passed through before, and he could faintly pick out the seams of the blue bricks.

——Just, where is the other exit of the passage?

While thinking about it, he moved his steps carefully, bypassing the scattered arrows on the ground, and walked a few steps forward against the wall.

The surrounding area was almost dead silent, and Ruan Mudeng's footsteps were as light as a cat walking, only the "tick" and "tick" sound of water droplets falling from nowhere hitting the stone.

Suddenly, the young man seemed to have caught a short "click", which seemed to be the muffled sound made by two rather heavy hard objects rubbing against each other.

Without saying a word, he rolled forward on the spot—the next second, a sharp burst of wind sounded one after another, and a dozen clusters of arrows were already arranged in a row, swishing into the place where he was just now. place!

Ruan Mudeng hugged the white fox in his arms who had been tossed hastily by him, and looked back at the newly nailed row of arrow clusters behind him.

I don't know whether this mechanism is from the Jin Dynasty or the early Yuan Dynasty. Although the metal arrowheads are all corroded, they are still very sharp. This is enough to drive half an inch into the rock formation. It is not a problem to nail a pair on the back.

It's just that he walked very carefully all the way, but he didn't even notice when the mechanism was triggered.If he hadn't heard the rubbing sound of the machine gun at the tips of his ears and dodged it in time, no matter how powerful he was, even if he wasn't injured at this time, he would have been very embarrassed to dodge.

While thinking about it, Ruan Mudeng stood up cautiously, trying not to touch anything again.

However, just as he touched the wall and took another two steps, the slight and dull sound of metal rubbing came from his ears again.

The young man hurriedly moved to the side, but this time there was no arrow cluster shot out from the bow, but a sudden bump under his feet, and a stone slab with a length and width of two meters square, centered on the area where he was standing, was suddenly thrown forward.

Now no matter how good Ruan Mudeng's skills are, he couldn't jump out of this range in an instant, his feet immediately slid down the wet stone slab, and he fell into a free fall that was caught off guard.

The speed of the fall was very fast, and the reaction time given to him was naturally very short. When Ruan Mudeng lowered his head, he saw the cold light under his feet. On the top, I am afraid that it will be directly stabbed into a skewer.

With life and death at stake, he could only pull out the dagger and thrust it into the wall with all his strength. At the same time, his other hand cooperated with his feet, trying to cling to the wall, struggling to find a point of strength on the stone wall that had been polished by the water to lack edges and corners.

I don't know if it's because there is no such thing as an endless road, or because he was really lucky. The dagger that was stabbed in a hurry happened to fit into a gap between two stone slabs, which stopped a person and a fox from falling down. the trend of.

Ruan Mudeng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, holding the handle of the dagger firmly with one hand, and with the other hand he grabbed another shallower stone crevice on the wall, like a spider hanging at the end of a spider's thread, dangling on the up in the air.

Only half an inch away from his feet, a thin wooden stake as long as an arm was erected towards the sky. The top was not only sharpened, but also specially wrapped with a layer of copper for hardness. It looks like the instrument of torture used to impale the Duke of Magic Dracula.

On the ground as far as the eye can see, there are still many wooden stakes of different thicknesses and lengths, but the tops are all sharpened. Two of them have two dead bones wearing ancient costumes. Like the three poor villagers who were nailed through the cluster, they were left as victims of "Pathfinder".

The young man kicked on the brass-wrapped wooden stake nearest to him, and relying on this unreliable point of leverage, he turned over and jumped off the wall with a standard gymnastics movement, and landed steadily. Arrived at this place full of hidden piles.

To his surprise, this place is not a trap mechanism in the tomb passage as he originally thought, but a huge stone room with a square of two meters. The decoration and the remnants of the murals that have faded long ago, except for the stone piles all over the ground, it looks exactly like a tomb.

Ruan Mudeng looked up at the hole where he fell, and the difference in height was about three floors.

I don't know if it was because of years of disrepair and rusted mechanisms that got stuck. The flap didn't fall back to its original state, but tilted up obliquely. Although the gap exposed wasn't very wide, it was enough for him to get through it. Crawled through it.

Seeing that the way back was still there, Ruan Mudeng immediately felt relieved, and had the leeway to continue checking the stone room.

On the other side of the stone chamber, there is a rectangular exit, although narrow, it can allow him to bow his head and pass through.

It was dark behind the exit, and the searchlight on his hat couldn't reach that far, but there seemed to be a faint passage behind.

Ruan Mudeng pulled down the bulging straps on his chest a little, allowing the fox to show half of his face, nodded his wet nose, and asked in a low voice: "Actually, this is the real Jiang Renren's tomb, right?"

With Xiao Xiao's appearance, of course she couldn't answer him, she opened her mouth to grab his protruding finger, and bit weakly, barely answered.

Ruan Mudeng smiled lightly, rubbed the fox's drooping ears gently, then stuffed his pointed head back into the straps, then pulled himself together, walked around the messy wooden piles in the room, and disappeared with the two equally rotten wooden piles. The old corpse of flesh and blood crawled towards the exit.

&&&&&&&&&

The tomb passage is narrow, but the waterproof and sealing performance is obviously much better than that of the natural cave outside. Even in such a season of heavy rain, there is no water accumulation, except for a little moss and mildew on the wall bricks. It also looks dry.

Ruan Mudeng walked along the tomb passage for about 15 minutes. During this process, he found many traces of people who had been here - such as burnt fire pockets, marks marking the direction left by knives, and Two copper plates that have been corroded so that no writing can be seen at all.

Regardless of the first two, things like copper plates are not things that ordinary tomb robbers have to take out from the tomb. Instead, they are more like gadgets that are frequently used by Taoists—this made Ruan Mudeng firm. The confidence that I have indeed walked in the right direction has eased my tense mood for more than ten hours.

The exit of the tomb passage is connected to another smaller tomb chamber, which is less than two meters deep. On three sides, there are rotten silks, rusty spears, bows and crossbows, pottery figurines and horses piled up on three sides according to the tomb system. .

Ruan Mudeng is neither here to rob tombs nor to do archaeology, and he doesn't know much about these things, so of course he won't waste time on identifying their age and value. He only cares about one thing, that is, what should be done next? How to go.

Afterwards, he quickly discovered the answer—the only empty wall was engraved with a washbasin-sized Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams pattern, which were divided into Qiangong, Kangong, Gengong, Zhengong, Zhonggong, and Xungong by the well. Palace, Li Palace, Kun Palace, and Dui Palace are still clearly visible even after many years. A bright red agate bead is embedded in the middle of the middle palace. After a closer look, it is found that it is actually movable, and can follow the wells of each palace. Groove, slide into the Eight Doors and Eight Gods.

Jiang Zhenren who occupied the tomb of the vassal king, although he was a descendant, and the foundation of what he knew and learned was still Taoism, talismans and seals, so he must naturally know Qimen Dunjia.

He brought many teaching books into the tomb and buried him with him. Although he didn't know if there was any sense of exclusiveness, Ruan Mudeng felt that judging from the layout of the tomb, it seemed that he was looking forward to the future. One day, someone with the same ambitions as him will be able to break through the barriers he set up, pass the test, and take away the teaching scriptures.

Thinking of this, Ruan Mudeng couldn't help clenching his fists, thinking of Xiao Ning.

Indeed, from the point of view of "communication", the two people who have been separated for hundreds of years are indeed of the same kind in terms of temperament and essence.

The young man is very self-aware. He has only learned Taoism for about a year. Compared with any of the three people who broke through this tomb, the difference in level can be described as a chasm and a chasm, especially the most basic. But the most complicated Jiugong gossip, he is really not even half sure.

"Xiao Xiao, Xiao Xiao."

He patted the white fox in his arms lightly, peeled off the fabric of the strap, and exposed its face again, "Can you help me look at this?"

Xiao Xiao slowly opened her eyes, her half-closed eyes looked very listless, she forced her head to turn in the palm of her apprentice, and looked up at the gossip formation engraved on the wall.

"I'm going to try to open this organ."

Ruan Mudeng patted the fox's ears lightly, then lowered his head and said softly to him, "Look out for me, if you see that I made a mistake, just bite my finger, okay?"

"The last step is to turn Jiusi into a land and turn Gen Palace into a palace, right?"

Ruan Mudeng pressed his fingertips against the sliding crimson agate bead, and lowered his head to ask the fox in his arms.

Xiao Xiao slowly opened her eyes, exhaled a puff of air from the tip of her nose, and sprayed it on Ruan Mudeng's fingertips. She seemed to be humming, but she didn't actually make a sound, but she didn't bite her apprentice again.
