our supernatural life

There is an entrance behind the boulder, and a series of stone steps lead to the ground. The edge of the top stone step has been weathered so that there are gaps, which shows the age.The valley is full of green grass, but the length is exactly the same, and it is impossible to cut it so neatly with scissors.Hai Dongqing took a deep breath and suppressed the excitement in his heart: "This is it. It looks like no one has been here for so many years, and the golden box should still be at the bottom."

Ahua took a few steps closer and looked at the stone steps carefully: "This, these stone steps—it doesn't look like it was built..."

Hai Dongqing smiled and said, "Of course not, it's innate."

When he said this, Shao Jing and Mai Mai couldn't help but leaned over to look at it. Sure enough, the stone steps seemed to be dug directly from the mountain, with no gaps to be found, and they were definitely not built with ordinary stones.Ahua murmured, "How much work will it take to dig out these stone steps directly from the mountain?"

Hai Dongqing shook his head: "Didn't I just say that this is natural, neither built nor dug out. Dayu chose this place to bury golden books and jade slips, and the ground cracked, forming a natural stone cave. Let him bury the golden book and jade slips in the ground."

Ahua looked at Hai Dongqing suspiciously, and agreed indiscriminately: "Then go in." He is a money-seeking person, and he doesn't believe in gold books and jade slips. What he wants is the golden box and other treasures.Even if he really dug up the golden book and jade slips, he would only sell them as antiques, and would never believe that there were any "truths" about immortality or exorcising ghosts on them.

Mai Mai took a look at Shao Jing, seeing him slightly lowered his head in thought, couldn't help but touch him lightly: "What do you think?"

Shao Jing gently raised his chin towards the boulder: "Look at that rock."

The boulder is jade-white in color and looks like a huge white marble stone, but some mud has been randomly smeared on the lower part of the stone, as if to cover something.Mai Mai thought for a while: "In order to cover those eight characters?"

"Yes. When he told us about this place, he never mentioned those eight words."

"Did he put the mud on it?"

"Yes, I guess he must have come back after escaping from the cave. It's just that one person may not be able to open the mechanism, so he brought us here. He must have muddled the eight characters, because he was afraid that the people who came here would see them and kill them." He refuses to go in." Shao Jing raised his head and looked around, and said in a low voice, "There may really be gold and jade slips inside. Hai Dongqing is right, the stone steps are naturally formed, not carved out by external force, this is absolutely not Manpower can do it. Since ancient times, there have been emperors who have become immortals, but Dayu is the only one who can drive away ghosts and gods and master the art of heaven and earth. Outside is the Monument of King Yu, and here are natural stone steps. Inside— —We have to be careful, as soon as we enter the stone steps, Hai Dongqing may attack us."

"Why?" This conclusion has no causal relationship with the previous words, right?

"Da Yu became a god when he buried the golden books and jade slips. Do you know what you need to do to get something from the gods?"

"Sacrifice... or what you said before, he wants to use us as sacrifices?"

"Did you see that he brought other sacrifices? He will never kill Ahua and Xie Qi." Of course, they are the only two who can be killed to sacrifice to the gods.

Mai Mai gently opened the safety of the pistol: "It's not that easy."

"Young Master Zhang—" To their surprise, A Hua took the lead and walked down the stone steps first, Xie Qi followed behind him, Hai Dongqing was the third, and finally greeted Shao Jing and Mai Mai.This is tantamount to putting the two of them in the last and most favorable position.Shao Jing frowned slightly, shook the gun in his hand, and pulled Mai Mai behind him: "Follow me."

The stone steps are very long, and after walking a dozen steps, the light dimmed. Ah Hua, who was at the front, turned on the bright flashlight and took a picture: "Fuck, it's so fucking deep——"

Hai Dongqing immediately scolded him: "Don't talk nonsense, this is not a place for you to swear!"

Ahua turned his head away resentfully, and muttered something, although his voice was very soft, and it was in Sichuan dialect, but everyone knew that he must still be swearing.Hai Dongqing's face was full of anger, and he couldn't open his mouth to reprimand him again.After all, he and Ahua are just a cooperation, Ahua helps him get equipment, and from here "picking up" good things, the two share half and half, other than that, it doesn't matter a dime, and Ahua is not his subordinate, If he really gets angry, he will tear his face regardless, and everyone will be ugly.He suppressed his anger, and was about to speak out again, when suddenly a black shadow flashed at the corner in front of the stone steps, Ahua yelled, and the whole person fell down, rolling down the stone steps.Wheat's eyes were sharp, and he saw that the black shadow was a big snake. Although it was not as thick as the gatekeeper dragon he saw in the Gu Dao, it was still as thick as a bowl and at least four meters long. , one person and one snake twisted together, rolling down the stone steps in a twist and turns.

Hai Dongqing pushed Xie Qi to the side, took three steps and made two steps to chase down.Shao Jing pulled Mai Mai to prevent him from running down, and still walked down leisurely.After walking a few steps, a gunshot was heard, causing echoes in the narrow passage.When they got to the bottom, they found that this was the end of the stone steps. It seemed to be a natural stone room. Although it was not big, it was flat and clean on all sides. Only at the four corners of the stone room were there faintly four animal-shaped patterns, but they disappeared when they got closer. Yes, you can only see it if you stand in the middle of the stone chamber.A Hua was standing up from the ground while supporting the stone wall. The big snake had been shot dead by Hai Dongqing, and it lay loosely on the ground. "Where did a snake jump out of here?"

Hai Dongqing said coldly: "This is the result of your nonsense. I told you earlier that this is the land of gods, so don't talk nonsense. Misfortune comes from your mouth!"

Ah Hua was not convinced: "There are a lot of snakes in this mountain, this one probably just sleeps here—" Even though he said so, he didn't dare to scold anymore.

Hai Dongqing glared at him coldly: "Stop talking! Did you see the patterns on the ground at the four corners? You, stand at the north corner. Xie Qi goes to the west corner, please stand at the southeast corners by Young Master Zhang and Mr. Mai Go up—I count to three, and you step on the pattern at the same time. One, two, three!" Without a sound, the floor of the stone room cracked, and the four stone slabs were turned up neatly, as if a knife was stabbed underneath. The stone sliced ​​away like butter, revealing the stone steps below.A Hua's eyes widened in shock, and he couldn't believe it and leaned over to look at the turned up stone slab.When he was lying on the ground just now, he could see clearly that the ground was definitely a whole stone without any gaps in between, how could it become four stone slabs?

Hai Dongqing stepped on the stone steps first: "Don't look at it, I said it is the land of the gods, this is not a mechanism."

Ahuana's expression was obviously disbelieving, but after all, he was eager for money, and he didn't intend to study the stone slab anymore, so he went down.Mai Mai whispered to Shao Jing: "No wonder he wants to find someone, he can't open the mechanism by himself."

Shao Jing nodded, and still pulled him behind: "No matter what, if I say go, you go immediately."

Mai Mai obediently agreed, and followed him down.They hadn't walked a few steps before they heard Ah Hua's excited voice: "Get rich, get rich!"

Shao Jing quickened his pace, and after walking a few steps, it suddenly became clear to him that this was a huge cave, and facing him was a wall of light blue jade, with a huge Tai Chi picture on it, looking carefully, the pattern seemed to be a natural pattern on the jade. Generated in black and white.There are eight luminous pearls on the four corners of the stone room, and the faint light can just illuminate the huge Tai Chi picture. The yin and yang fish seem to be swimming in the blue waves, and they seem to suck people into it after a long time.

But it is not these things that attract Ah Hua.He was circling around the two things in front of the jade wall, tsk-tsk: "Good thing, good thing, take it out and make a fortune!" Those were two bronze tripods with various strange beasts carved on them. , also inlaid with gold and silver threads, under the reflection of pearls, it seems to be alive.A piece of ground was extended from the jade wall, and these two tripods were placed on the jade ground, with their bases sinking slightly, as if they were sunk in the jade.Mai Mai saw a tiger with two wings cast on the tripod at a glance: "Qiong Qi?"

Shao Jing looked at it for a moment: "Back then, Dayu took the gold from nine states to cast the nine tripods, and the strange beasts from each state were cast on the tripods of that state, so that the common people could get acquainted with them when they went to the mountains, forests, and waters, and would not be harmed by them. This - I'm afraid it's similar to Jiuding, but - it seems that the ones on it are all extremely vicious beasts. That one is a chisel tooth, and that one should be a scorpion..."

Ahua didn't care about any beasts, he touched the bronze tripod for a long time, and then turned to the other side.There is a half-person-high golden box there, which is still golden despite its age.A Hua excitedly grabbed the side of the box and even bit it directly, seeing the tooth marks left behind, he was ecstatic: "Pure gold!"

Mai Mai thought this must be the golden box with the Candle Dragon engraved on it.The giant dragon on the box under the pearl light is lifelike, but the pair of eyes are two empty pits, which have lost some of their spirit.He looked around, but found no trace of digging a hole, and couldn't help but feel a little puzzled——Hai Dongqing clearly said that he used the lid of the golden box to dig a hole and escaped, but why was there no hole?But if he didn't escape through a hole, where is the lid?Moved by him?His so-called hole escape is all a lie?

While he was thinking wildly, Ah Hua had already put half of his body into the box, and continued to shout excitedly: "There is still a treasure in here!" As he spoke, he carefully took out a piece of jade and asked Hai Dongqing, "How much is this worth?"

Hai Dongqing glanced lightly: "This is the jade of Zhaohua, which was given to Dayu by Yao. In terms of value, it can be said to be priceless, but if you want to sell it for money, you may not be able to sell much, unless you find someone A man of vision."

Ahua was a little disappointed: "Forget it, take it out and find someone to have a look at it. Anyway, it's an ancient jade. I don't believe it can't be sold at a high price."

Hai Dongqing became a little impatient: "Don't look any further, it's important that we open the last door first."

Ahua looked around suspiciously: "The door? Where is the door?"

Hai Dongqing pointed at the jade wall: "Isn't this a door?"

It was only now that Ah Hua took a closer look at the towering Tai Chi picture: "Is this the door? Where is the crack in the door?"

Hai Dongqing said impatiently: "How many times have I told you that this is naturally generated, there is no crack in the door!"

Ahua walked over, reached out and touched the Taiji diagram: "Then how to open it?"

Hai Dongqing smiled, and turned to Shao Jing and Mai Mai: "Sacrifice."

Shao Jing had been secretly on guard ever since Hai Dongqing said to open the door, and when he saw Hai Dongqing looking over, he raised his wrist slightly and pointed his gun at the two of them, and asked calmly, "Sacrifice? What kind of sacrifice will you use?"

Hai Dongqing smiled happily: "Of course, it is sacrificed with human beings. The beasts on this cauldron are all cannibals. How can we satisfy them without human sacrifices?"

Shao Jing was about to raise the gun when he suddenly felt that his entire arm was not his own. His fingers were so numb that he couldn't feel the gun in his hand. He shot decisively, but his wrist was already unable to lift up. The bullet hit the jade wall and penetrated A small hole was made, but he himself was shocked by the recoil and loosened his fingers, and the pistol fell to the ground.In just a few seconds, Ah Hua had already rushed over and punched him in the abdomen, causing him to bend over.Shao Jing gritted his teeth and punched him back with the other hand, but the numbness of his right arm affected his movements, but A Hua was very agile, and he hit Shao Jing hard on the head with the handle of the gun. Remember, knocked him to the ground, gritted his teeth and cursed: "Turtle son, I will pay you back!"

At the same time, Mai Mai felt that his arm was heavy, but he still managed to raise the gun to A Hua, struggling to pull the trigger, when Xie Qi behind him suddenly took a step forward, and slashed his neck with a hand knife , Mai Mai tilted his body and fell down.

Hai Dongqing laughed out loud.With blood streaming down his face, Shao Jing reluctantly said, "Did you take the medicine?"

Hai Dongqing smiled and nodded: "That's right, the handles of the guns given to you are coated with a new type of anesthetic. The tighter you hold, the more the drug will soak into the skin. This kind of anesthetic has an advantage. It won't work sometimes, and once it reaches that critical point, the medicine will take effect immediately. Young Master Zhang, I know you have guarded against me all the way, even when the food is distributed, you come by yourself and don't let us handle it, lest we take it I will give you the part that has been tampered with. But you didn’t think of this gun, did you?”

Ahua swiftly took out the climbing rope and tied Shao Jing and Mai Mai: "Okay, we can sacrifice."

"Wait." Hai Dongqing pointed at Shao Jing, "Take out the emerald eye first, and then these two people will go into the cauldron later, and there will be nothing left if you want to take it again."

He said it lightly, but even Ah Hua couldn't help asking: "What's left? This, this priest..."

Hai Dongqing smiled: "The sacrifice is not you, what are you afraid of? Take out the emerald eyes."

Ah Hua reached out to Shao Jing to search.Shao Jing's head was smashed, and blood flowed down his face and into his eyes.He blinked hard, and looked sideways at Mai: "Mai, I'm sorry..."

Seeing his face covered with blood, Mai Mai felt that his forehead was throbbing and hurting: "What are you talking about!"

Shao Jing smiled wryly: "I'm too confident..."

Mai Mai stared at him and said in a low voice: "No, you are too worried about me..." If it wasn't for the time approaching, why would Shao Jing take this risk?

Hai Dongqing listened contentedly, and interjected with a smile: "You two don't need to worry, you can't be born in the same year, the same month, and the same day, but you can die in the same year, the same month, and the same day, that's very rare."

Mai Mai stared at him: "In the past, you used your companions to make sacrifices, right? Are you afraid that they will be ghosts and come to settle accounts with you?"

Hai Dongqing laughed loudly: "Come to me? I wear the sun eyes of a candle dragon. How dare they come?"

Ah Hua finally pulled out the emerald eyes from Shao Jing, stood up and lit up: "I got it. Then what should I do? Throw them into the cauldron? He said he was going to drag Shao Jing over there."

"Wait, it's wrong." Hai Dongqing pointed to the tripod on the right, "Left yin and right yang, drag him over there, it's just a yang tripod."

Ahua scratched his head: "Is there also Yin and Yang in this game?"

Haidong Qing Surong: "You don't understand. Don't you see that the patterns on these two tripods are one Yin and one Yang?"

Mai Mai couldn't help but glanced at the bronze tripod, and sure enough, the patterns on the tripod were actually exactly the same, just a negative carving and a positive carving, just the opposite.Hai Dongqing pointed to the jade wall: "This is the Tai Chi Eight Diagrams, and it can only be opened with Yin and Yang sacrifices."

Ahua was puzzled: "Yin-yang sacrifice? Shouldn't there be a man and a woman?"

Hai Dongqing snorted: "The so-called yin and yang refer to the number of fate. The two people Xiao Shiqi and I looked for back then, one was four pillars of full yin and the other was four pillars of full yang, so they could be sacrificed. If it is a man and a woman, then this The organ can already be opened."

Ah Hua didn't understand this thing at all, while dragging Shao Jing towards Yang Ding, he said, "Then these two people are also four pillars, all yang and all yin?"

Hai Dongqing shook his head: "No, but they are better. This Young Master Zhang has Buddhist mantras on him, and he is like a bodhisattva in the flesh, full of yang energy. This Mr. Mai is a dying person with extremely yin energy on his body. Heavy. The two of them are simply natural sacrifices." He said while dragging the wheat towards the Yin Ding.

Following the actions of A Hua and Hai Dongqing, Mai Mai was horrified to find that the two bronze tripods were slowly opening.Yes, it is open, it is split from the middle along a vertical line, and then the left and right halves open to the two sides.It can be seen that the inner wall of the tripod is covered with sharp copper nails, like countless teeth.The copper tripod was stretched to 45 degrees, and two white skeletons fell down from inside. The flesh and blood had all been turned into dust, and only a pair of white bones remained, still maintaining the painful and twisted posture in life.

Shao Jing couldn't bear to look any longer, but couldn't stop staring at Mai Mai.One look, one less.Mai Mai also looked at him, and smiled slightly: "When we get to the gate of hell, you have to wait for me. Let's go in hand in hand, so as not to get separated and difficult to find."

Shao Jing closed his eyes and nodded, "Okay."
