Thousand Lantern Night

I was standing on the ice platform, and when Zhang Yinzhen warned "don't move", Peter and Evans in the inner layer shouted at the same time: "It's gone! The jade coffin and the corpse are gone!" At the same time, my feet suddenly loosened, The entire surface of the ice platform where they landed was shattered and collapsed.

The shattering and sinking of the entire ice palace happened almost at the same instant, and countless cracks centered on the ice platform, driving towards the ice palace at a very high speed.In a few seconds, the crack cracked from the wall into the darkness of the top, and a huge cracking sound sounded overhead.

It seems that when Wang Zanghai designed this ice palace, he designed the center of gravity of the entire balance on the ice platform.Once the built-in weight in the ice platform changes, it will change the load-bearing capacity of the entire ice palace, thus self-destructing.

But at this time, I don't have time to admire Wang Zanghai's secret mechanism. With just such a click, we fell to the lower floor together with the ice ceiling.The entire space is like a planet exploding, countless fragments wrapping our flesh and blood mortal bodies and falling down together.Before I could have any thoughts, I fell on a huge boulder with a bang.Soon I found that the stone was not falling, but moving.Inertia made me roll in a circle, and I had to subconsciously grab something to stop myself from falling.

What I grabbed in my hand was a handful of hard and prickly things that felt like feathers.After struggling to stabilize, I saw a huge head appearing in front of the stone. The back of the head was facing me at first, and it seemed that I was pulling it hard. A giant human face turned to face me.

Although the camera is very close, this face is still very familiar to me, sir, it is actually the guardian bird of Tiangong—a bird with a human face!

A cold sweat broke out on my back when I recognized this bird, and my eyes were fixed on its mouth that can be opened so that it covers the face.Sure enough, it opened its beak, first showing its mouth full of fangs, and then spit out a bloody macaque organ.With a puff, it almost jumped directly on my face.

My instinctive reaction was to draw my gun immediately, and shoot twice at that thing.The bird head in front suddenly screamed, and with a flick of its fangs, it rushed towards me.I was about to give it a few shots, when suddenly I felt the bird's body tremble violently, and the head disappeared by itself!I was overjoyed when I saw it, shit, this bad bird was hit by a stone falling from above, and its head was chopped off.

Before the joy was over, the bird's body suddenly jolted violently, and only then did it realize, what the hell!This bird can't drive by itself anymore, so why don't you just drop me to death!Quickly put the gun back into the holster, climbed to the middle of the bird's back, lay on top of it, grabbed the wings of the bird on both sides with both hands, and flapped it randomly, almost singing: "I want to fly higher——"

I completely forgot that birds can fly, but the bird man definitely can't fly. After dozens of tugs, he was already half dead from exhaustion, and the broken bird still slammed directly into the stone wall below.I had no choice but to jump off the car. I got up and took the jumping posture, ready to jump off with a good starting point.

Xiaobai roared from behind, and then he felt a bump from the back, being rear-ended by something.This bump knocked me backwards and rolled me into a layer of warm fur. I dragged my hair to get up and found that I was already riding on Xiaobai's back.

Xiaobai's body has become extremely huge. When I realized that it was on its back, it had already stood on the ground, but when I looked down from above, it was about as high as a three-story building.It is not enough to call it Dabai so much, I am afraid it will be called Jubai.

After I stabilized, I realized that we had fallen into another battlefield.

This space is exactly the tomb where Fatty and the others approached the bronze door last time, and it is the place where Jiulong carried the coffin.Several people were stuck in the cracks in the stone wall, firing wildly outside.Originally they were supposed to be slapping the bird in the human face, but they might have been frightened out of their minds. As soon as they saw Xiao Bai, their fire eyes immediately focused on Xiao Bai.

Xiaobai walked up calmly as if he didn't feel the attack at all, raised a front hoof, and stepped on the person in front.I quickly grabbed its fur and shouted: "Xiaobai!" Xiaobai squirted out of his nose, stopped in front of the man with his hooves, and then slapped his gun away.

However, in this way, those people were frightened even crazier, and the firepower became stronger all of a sudden.I can understand the hysteria when you are frightened to the extreme. Only by eliminating all the dangers in front of you can you survive. This is a desperate mode that either you die or I die.I don't know if Xiaobai killed those butt monsters, the firepower is completely useless to it.It just snorted angrily, as if thinking about what to do.

Those people yelled, fought and killed for a few seconds and found that it didn't work. Suddenly, the person in the lead waved his hand to signal the others to cease fire.The man pointed at me, and the others looked at me in horror.I was thinking what happened to me, whether I had become a skeleton or had hair, when suddenly I felt a gust of wind blowing from behind me.Immediately he knew it was not good, and just as he was about to turn around, Xiaobai suddenly turned his butt - opened his mouth and roared, bit the necks of the two human-faced birds rushing towards him, and snapped their heads off with a few clicks.

Seeing this, the few people who were stuck in the crevice slid into the crevice without hesitation.I turned around and they were all gone, shit, it's too dishonest.Xiaobai spat out the human-faced bird's stump with a bang, followed them and squeezed a paw into the crevice of the stone.

I know where these stone crevices lead—the last time Wu Xie and Fatty went to the bronze gate through these underground passages.After Xiaobai pushed hard on the stone crevice, the stone crevice cracked a little with a click.I quickly grabbed it: "Don't push, don't push! If it cracks here, other places will crack, so we can't bury us!"

Xiaobai understood what I meant with a snort in his nose. At this time, Fatty and the others had already come running from different directions. "Excuse me, excuse me!" the fat man yelled as he got under Xiaobai's claws.Soon Zhang Yinzhen and the others also came over. It seemed that Qin Ai and the two foreigners had suffered a lot of injuries, and they were supported by Dan Lang and Zhang Yinzhen, and their bodies were wounded.Xiaohua and Zhang Qiling were also injured, but the situation was better.

When everyone entered the crevice, Xiao Bai also squeezed in.It stands to reason that Xiaobai would never be able to get in with such a large body, but it is very strange, it is like a jelly, and it can deform.For example, in a very narrow place, it is enough to pass through the cracks of a person. It can squeeze itself into a piece of bacon, which is flat and long, and just rubs it through.When I climbed on Xiaobai's back, I could feel its crooked waves.

Human-faced birds were constantly chasing after them. Those big birds couldn't get in, so they spit out all the monkeys in their mouths. Immediately there was a chirping sound behind them, and the monkeys in densely packed mouths chased them over.However, the situation this time is completely different from last time, Xiaobai is not afraid of these things at all.Its flame-shaped tail is like a plantain fan, and it slaps the monkey in its mouth flat against the stone wall.

After climbing for a while, we finally all went out.Outside the chasm is a rift, and the bronze gate is at the end of the rift.I am quite familiar with this environment.After going out, everyone collapsed to the ground. The last time it was because the bronze door was opened by Zhang Qiling that they saved everyone's life by coincidence. Although Xiaobai rescued them this time, before we fell, the other group of people It is estimated that it has been worn out for a long time.

But even with Xiaobai here this time, we don't have time to rest for too long.Because there are so many strange birds outside that they are almost inexhaustible, even if Xiao Bai can kill the monkey in his mouth one by one, there will still be fish that slip through the net and attack.We immediately killed the meat monkey that came in, and after a little relief, we began to think about the next steps.

There are three most important questions before us.First, what is the identity of the opposing team, and will their goals conflict with ours.If it is an enemy and not a friend, how should we deal with this unexpected fate; second, where did Wang Zanghai's meteorite coffin and body go before he fell from the top just now; third, the most important thing, the bronze door is here, I don't know if Zhang Qiling opened it last time, and whether he can open it this time.If not, how do we open this door.

These are all questions that need to be addressed immediately.Soon we made a little negotiation with the other party. There were five of them in total, three foreigners and two Chinese.They said that they were led up the mountain by a young guide named Naple, and when they described it in detail, that Naple was the same person as Ujakhan who led us.This confirms our previous guess, that guy is a corpse possessed by an old Wang. It seems that Lao Wang has brought many people up the mountain.

Zhang Qiling said that the bronze door must be opened with necromantic energy. Lao Wang tempted people to go up the mountain, and his heart was to be punished. He wanted these people to die in the heaven, and then collected the soul energy to open the bronze door.It seems that the bronze gate is also a catastrophe for Lao Wang.Lao Wang once left a message saying that the hell behind the bronze gate burned everything. Could it be that he wanted to be reborn like the divine bird Phoenix through fire quenching?

Although we speculate that Wang Zanghai's purpose is related to rebirth, how he will operate it is really unpredictable.

And we have been falling for so long, Wang Zanghai didn't move at all, which is very abnormal.According to his character, he must have laid a net for us to drill into it.

So the conversation turned into a separate conversation between the two sides. Zhang Yinzhen made a routine with the team and asked them the purpose of going up the mountain.And we discussed with Zhang Qiling the whereabouts of Lao Wang's body.

I slid off Xiaobai's back and heard Peter describing the situation when the ice coffin fell.

"Mr. Zhang stretched his hand in and poked some mechanism in the dark groove, and suddenly the jade coffin sank. Then there was the sound of the chain dragging, as if something was dragging the jade coffin at the other end Pulled it away. And it's supposed to have rails on the bottom so it's going pretty fast—"

Zhang Qiling said: "Under that ice platform, Wang Zanghai didn't leave any traps, only the one in the groove where the portrait is placed. If someone is not satisfied with taking the portrait, touch the trap, and he will be sent away smoothly .And those who steal will fall to their death, or fall to the lower floor to feed those strange birds."

Sure enough, we still fell into Lao Wang's trap.

Xiaohua said: "Since he sent himself away, there must be another move. We must hurry up and open the door."

The fat man wanted to say something, but I took the lead and said: "Wait! Wang Zanghai once left a message saying that the bronze door will be opened every ten years. If the time is not up, the hellfire inside will burn everything. What if something happens if you go in , Should we keep a backup team?"

The fat man thought for a while and said, "A lot of information about this guy, Lao Wang, has to be read in reverse now. He himself was captured here by the Jurchens, and the time period when he entered the door may not be exactly ten years. Otherwise, he would not have given the information that he would suffer disaster if he opened the door in less than ten years. Since he said so, then he must have entered the door in less than ten years, and he came out without hair falling out. Since he can come out , it can be seen that the karmic fire of hell did not burn him to death, so there must still be a loophole in vitality."

Fatty's words are reasonable, Wang Zanghai is a thoughtful person, every message he left has his purpose, maybe he just said this to prevent people from entering the door casually?

Xiaohua said: "No matter what Wang Zanghai's purpose is, since he came here, no one would be willing to see the wonders inside the gate. There is no need to keep any back-up. If you really want to die, you will die once."

The fat man said: "Master Hua'er's words sound good! I just knocked on this bronze door!"

Zhang Yinzhen threatened and lured them, saying that if they don’t tell the truth, out of humanitarianism, they don’t agree with them taking risks with us, and they want to send them back to their previous places. Those people couldn’t stand it, so they recruited them to be employed by a company. .The investor of that company is Jude Kao.

Fatty and I looked at each other, Jude tested his grandfather, that old guy really cast a wide net, you can see him doing evil everywhere.It seems that his desire for rebirth is no less than that of Wang Zanghai.

Immediately we knew that these people were very stubborn, and decided not to deal with them, but to carry out the most important one first: open the bronze door.As for how they follow us, we can't control it.

We soon came to the front of the bronze door, I turned out the ghost seal, grabbed the three rings in my hand, and embedded the three rings in the broken marks, only to find that the ghost seal was always lifeless.I tried a few times but couldn't sense its power, the fat man gave a "tsk" beside him, and said to Zhang Qiling: "Brother, you opened the door last time. Come and see how this thing works."

Zhang Qiling took the ghost seal over to look at it, shook his head and said: "The energy of the ghost seal has been sucked away. If there is no life energy, it will not be able to mobilize dead energy, and there will be no way to force the door open."

Zhang Yinzhen frowned and said, "Where can I find the birth energy all of a sudden?" He turned his head and muttered to Peter and Evans, and said, "I can only let them try it, just like last time in Tallinn, using instruments to imitate the birth energy. Simulate strength to see if you can push the door open. However, this time the equipment is not enough—”

The fat man clapped his hands and said, "Okay! Last time, the Lightning Guidance move is extraordinary, you can try it!"

Of course, Zhang Yinzhen and their energy imitators are not only the lightning drainage in Tallinn, but also when they were in the Queen Mother of the West, they successfully obtained the ghost face ring with this technology, which was packed in an energy-balanced crystal box.

Peter and Evans were immediately busy, and Qin Ai and the others helped.We can't do anything but stand aside and wait.However, this attempt was not smooth, and it has been a long time since I heard any good news.

I squeezed the ghost seal in my hand and broke it back and forth, thinking that this thing is useless now, and all the previous efforts were in vain.Xiaobai walked over slowly, sat in front of me, looked down at me motionless, after a while, stuck out his tongue and licked Guixi.

The ghost seal suddenly lit up.

I was taken aback.I thought to myself, can you break it?Grab it quickly and shake it a few times.However, the light was only a blink of an eye, and no matter how much it was turned or shaken, there was still no response.I scratched my head, suddenly realized, could it be—Xiaobai?

Xiaobai was looking down at me, and there was a faint green-white light in the pile of curly hair on its body—we were able to see things after we entered the mountain, all thanks to Xiaobai.I held up the ghost seal and asked Xiaobai to lick it again.Xiaobai got down on his stomach and poked his nose. Sure enough, the ghost seal lit up again!

At this time, I had to think about everything about Xiaobai, from the moment it appeared in front of me inexplicably, all the miraculous things it did.Wang Jianqiang said that it looks exactly like the unicorn on the stone pier guarding the tomb in the Thousand Buddha Cave, so it is inferred that it is a unicorn.In fact, could it be that Xiaobai is basically the white jade unicorn on the stone pier?Just like giving birth to a fetus on the ground, because it was infiltrated by the power of the ghost ring in the tomb, it was activated into a living creature?In fact, Xiaobai's essence should be the same energy body as the ghost ring?

I touched Xiaobai's paw, looked up at it, and held the ghost seal in front of it: "Xiaobai, do you want to tell me that you have a way to restore this thing's energy?"

Xiaobai snorted, then it stood up, lowered its head and licked Guixi, then faced me, and began to retreat step by step.After retreating a certain distance, Xiao Baiyuan vacated into the air without moving, and then suddenly kicked his hind legs, and flew towards me at a distance higher than the bronze door.

Xiaobai was looking at me throughout the whole process, and the moment it rushed towards me, I didn't back down at all, I knew it wasn't trying to hurt me.I just wanted to take back the ghost seal, but it was too late.Xiaobai's movements were like a flash of lightning, when it touched the ghost seal on its forehead, it seemed that it had jumped into another space, and the whole giant white body slid and disappeared.

But at the same time, Guixi's green light suddenly became brighter, and it suddenly emitted an extremely dazzling light.I had no choice but to use my arm to block the deflection, but I felt a huge flowing force in my hand, flowing directly from the ghost seal to me.My whole body trembled as if electrified, a strong air flow spread out from my body, and suddenly formed a whirlpool on the spot.

Countless energy bodies like the cold undead sucked into my body were sucked into the vortex around me, stirring around me like a blender.Almost at the same time, there was a sudden violent shake in the mountain where we were, and when the green light faded, I vaguely saw a gap slowly opening from the closed bronze door.
