Yin Yang Tomb Raider

Chapter 35 Boy's blood, pass the level

"Well, not only do I know, but I have also studied some. In fact, it is digital hypnosis, which deliberately leaves a mark or digital information to confuse the traveler. Mathematicians believe that this is a digital model with a complex structure. A staircase actually leads in all directions." I rubbed my eyes, and there were only endless steps in front of me.

"There must be imprints on the steps, and the coating on them may be a kind of seasoning collected from special plants, a kind of paint that can absorb light, making it difficult for people to identify directions. Once you pay attention to this information, it will make people Mistakes in logical judgment occurred, thinking that we were walking in a straight line, but in fact we walked on a fork without knowing it." I said, "We have been standing still here, and it is the ghost of this imprint."

"How do you break it?" Munro asked.

"Cover up this mark." Lao Jiu said, "This is the only way."

He groped for something on his body. There was really nothing that could cover the lotus-shaped imprint. I signaled them to turn off the headlights. In the dark, this imprint was still glowing faintly. It was impossible not to notice it. This is it. The thing misled us to stay where we were, so I took off my coat and covered it on the ground, the thing actually had penetrating power, and the light came out faintly, "It's really evil, Munro, this is your category, is there a way? "

Meng Luo frowned slightly: "I have a way, I can't cover it, let's close our eyes and move forward, how about it?"

This reminded me: "That's right, there are 23 levels in the Hanging Soul Ladder. Go down with your eyes closed, and open your eyes after counting to 23. Don't open your eyes to look at it. Let's try, go back to the platform and start over again." start."

Just in case, the three of us took the clothes of the person in front of each other and walked down by feeling. The leader was actually Munro. In such a gloomy place, his sensitivity was stronger than ours. You began to count tacitly, and every time you counted a number, you took a step down, and the breathing of the three of them seemed to be synchronized.

"21, 22, 23." Munro was the first to reach the last step, and he turned to meet us. When we opened our eyes, the scene in front of us was really relieved, and we came down. However, I found that Munro's finger With blood: "Boy, why are you bleeding?"

Lao Jiu looked back and saw that the original shiny marks were smeared with blood, this is the reason we were able to walk down!

"Hey, you won't paint all the marks with your own blood, so you didn't close your eyes at all just now?" I pulled his hand and saw that all ten fingers were bitten.

Munro said: "Although I don't know what it was painted on, but since just now, the pointer of the compass has been turning crazily. Blood Yang Qi is the most abundant, I thought maybe it could be cracked, so I gave it a try."

Lao Jiu and I looked at each other, and Lao Jiu couldn't help laughing: "So you're still a child."

Meng Luo coughed lightly: "Now is not the time to talk about this, we have to go forward and see what is the mystery here, although we are here, but..."

"It's cold. After I got here, I feel colder." I knew what this meant. It was the same as the last time I was in the desert, and it meant that something unclean would appear.

Lao Jiu couldn't wait to go down, and I also chased him down. Behind the Xuanhun Ladder to the end, there was a stone wall, which firmly blocked the way, "They didn't use explosives, it seems that there is a mechanism." Said, while looking at the stone wall: "If someone has already touched the mechanism, the dust has moved, and you don't need to grope to know."

As expected of a veteran, sure enough, the dust on a stone slab in the middle has been wiped off. Lao Jiu pressed it down confidently, and a secret door suddenly appeared. When the door opened, a strong smell of blood rushed over. Jiu glanced at me: "It's not right."

Not only the smell of blood, but also the sound of water, "bang bang", two consecutive gunshots made Lao Jiu quickly stick his body against the stone wall, and so did Mengluo and me. There was a scream, "Ah", very short, followed by a burst of "crash", it sounded like someone was desperately scratching the water, and then the smell of blood became stronger...

"Hurry up, come here quickly, or it will be too late." This is the voice of a young man, urgently urging, I quietly glanced at Lao Jiu's face, his face twitched, and a thought immediately appeared in my mind, swallowed With the next saliva, I asked, "You don't know these people, do you?"

Before Lao Jiu could answer, there was another gunshot, and then there was a scream, and there was a "gudong" in the water. Hearing this movement, my legs went numb for no reason, and I stretched out my hand to pinch it, cursing myself inwardly. I can't live up to it, I have been born and died before, so what is there to be afraid of here?

The movement inside finally disappeared, the sound of the water disappeared completely, and the sound of hasty footsteps gradually faded away. I glanced at Lao Jiu’s face again. Because I had smeared mud on his face, I always thought it was funny. The expression was much more relaxed, Lao Jiu glared at me: "You must die laughing in your heart, hold back, go in and have a look."

Through the secret door, under the high stone platform, there is a pool of water, which directly traverses the entire space, that is to say, if you want to go to the opposite side, you must swim through this pool. I looked up, and there was nothing to rely on , the possibility of climbing over it is zero.

Lao Jiu looked down, the water in the pool was very turbid, there were still some vague shadows below, and the color of the water was also strange, if it was mixed with blood, it would be inevitable, Meng Luo even a compass was useless : "Water can separate yin and yang, even if there are dirty things below, if we don't go down, it won't affect us at all, but if we want to go over, we have to go through the water."

My hands trembled subconsciously: "Stop talking nonsense, we can only go through the water now?"

"So, I'm trying to figure out a way." Mengluo said: "The stone powder doesn't work anymore, and it will be washed away when it hits the water. Moreover, there are seven hidden passes in this place, and the seven passes refer to Yunkeng Pass, Shangxi Pass, Zichen Pass, Shangyang Pass, Tianyang Pass, Yusu Pass, and Taiyou Pass respectively correspond to the seven stars of the Big Dipper, representing the flow of vitality in any place. These seven passes are on land and are for the direction of anger. Under the water, it suddenly changed and became the direction of Yin Qi, this place suddenly became a pool of Yin, there must be a vicious Yin thing under the water."

"Those people seemed to be attacked by that thing just now." Lao Jiu showed a secretive smile: "There are things they can't deal with."

They, sure enough, Lao Jiu knew those people, and he smeared his face with mud because he was afraid that the other party would recognize him. How would Lao Jiu react?Everything about Lao Jiu's past might come to light.

Meng Luo squatted on the ground, took out two yellow talismans, and drew on them with his fingers dipped in cinnabar. After finishing, he gave one to Lao Jiu and me: "Put these two talismans on your chest, you must protect them carefully." , This is a yin talisman, which can temporarily block your yang energy, before it fails, we must swim to the opposite side quickly."

Lao Jiu and I took it and stuffed it on our chest, and patted it directly on the skin. The bag is waterproof, and important things are stuffed inside, and it was reinforced to prevent it from falling off underwater. Munro kept looking down, I asked He: "What are you doing, ready to go down."

"I'm looking for the position of Qiguan. Qiguan represents the direction of Yin Qi. That thing is near Qiguan. If it can be bypassed, it will be easy." Meng Luo said.

"Hey, how do I find this?" Lao Jiu said anxiously: "We don't have much time in a hurry, so we can't make too much noise after dawn. It would be bad if we were discovered."

Munro said: "Don't worry, soon, the principle of the seven levels is related to the astrology. The Big Dipper goes around the Polaris. It makes a circle every year. There will be slight changes in its position every day, but the range is very small. The change of the Big Dipper in the nine days , is the minimum displacement that can be seen by the naked eye, so in Yin Yang, nine days is a stargazing cycle, this cycle becomes the "number of nine" in Yin Yang, just find a reference object on the ground to observe from a fixed angle And marking the scale is not difficult to determine. You see that protruding thing, it is not moving, just use it as a reference, and I can immediately determine the position of Qiguan. "

After Meng Luo finished speaking, he just immersed himself in his research, and I took the opportunity to drag Lao Jiu aside: "Hey, give me an explanation after you get out."

"I didn't make you pregnant, so why?" Lao Jiu said angrily.

"You seem to know this group of people who came in?" I said, "I didn't have any special reaction when I saw the car, but after I came down, I saw Laoguan's Chinese-style robbery hole and the hole opened by the explosives. Your The reaction is completely different, and you deliberately smeared your face with mud, so that you don’t want the other party to see your true face? Lao Jiu, if we want to sit on the same boat, we’d better be honest, I won’t ask you here, After you go out, you'd better give me an answer."

Lao Jiu looked at me with interest, and after a while, he stretched out his hand and patted me on the shoulder: "You asked me in person, and you didn't plan to go out and investigate me in private, just focus on this, and I will tell you when I go out , as long as we can get out alive."

These words were not meant to be a joke, Lao Jiu's face was completely wrinkled, and I swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "Those people are difficult to deal with?"

"It's more difficult than the fugitives you met in the desert." Lao Jiu said solemnly: "Don't attack, just defend. Before that, avoid as much as you can."

I didn't know how to react, at this moment, Munro turned around: "I found it."

"So what are we going to do?" I asked.
