Chapter 400 Yuan Tiangang's Relic
The sudden change made Chen Ziyang unable to close his jaw in surprise.

"What does this mean? Why did the statue open after nine kowtows? What's inside the stone box? Could it be a martial arts secret book? Why is this exactly the same as what was written in a martial arts novel?"

Although the current Chen Ziyang was full of doubts, he walked to the front of the statue without stopping for a moment, and stretched out his hand to bring out the stone box.

After all, there is not much oxygen left in this space, and I don’t know how long it can last. Now, finding the exit is the most urgent task.

Chen Ziyang wasn't worried about any traps on the box. Judging from the various circumstances of entering here, maybe all the traps were designed for the stone box in front of him. Now that the box has appeared, the person who designed it It will definitely not embarrass the person who gets the stone box.

This stone box feels very heavy and textured.The surface of the stone box seemed to be carved with some patterns, but the gaps in these patterns were all filled with dust.

Ignoring the patterns engraved on the surface of the stone box, Chen Ziyang turned the box over and over in his hands several times, but he didn't find any gaps in the stone box.

"This is really weird. How should I open this box? Am I going to throw it on the ground and smash it into pieces?" After thinking for a while, Chen Ziyang shook his head. He felt that this method was not feasible.

Usually, there are some mechanisms embedded in some boxes containing treasures. If they are damaged from the outside, it is likely to directly damage the contents of the box, and may even touch the mechanism in the box and cause damage to the box. Human life, so he thinks it is better to find a way to open this box.

Only at this time did he realize that as he kept turning it over, some of the dust embedded in the pattern on the surface of the stone box had fallen off, and Chen Ziyang vaguely saw some Chinese characters engraved on one side of the stone box.

However, there is still some dust in the gaps of these Chinese characters, and it may be because of the age, the dust has filled the gaps tightly, and there is no way to remove it by shaking alone.

Chen Ziyang hurriedly took out a piece of fur from the fur pile beside him, and then vigorously wiped the surface of the stone box continuously.Gradually, the dust in the gaps between the Chinese characters became less and less, and these Chinese characters gradually became clearer.

With the light of the flashlight, Chen Ziyang saw that although these Chinese characters were traditional characters, they were generally understandable. After all, the Chinese characters in the Tang Dynasty were already very standardized, and they were not much different from the later traditional characters. Very well, because of the relationship between reading "Civil Engineering Collection", his level of traditional characters is still very high.

"Those who can enter this secret room will have a chance;

The one who kowtows on the face of the deity is morally added;

Whoever possesses chance and morality,
Open the treasure box with the blood of Taoism. "

Seeing these words engraved on the surface of the stone box, Chen Ziyang understood that his previous conjecture was probably correct. Every branched passage in his downward passage may lead to different rooms, and only the one he chose There are only two paths to get here, and the other rooms are almost the same if they are not killer moves. People who enter other rooms may be in danger.

Fortunately, I was moved by the sadness emanating from this statue, and I kowtowed nine times in front of the statue. Otherwise, I would go up to check the statue rashly, and it might trigger other organs. It's time for him to be decapitated too.

Thinking of this, Chen Ziyang admired the sculptor of this statue. This is really a magical workmanship. It is not something ordinary stonemasons can do to integrate this feeling of silence full of vicissitudes into the statue. Thanks to this People have such abilities, otherwise, I wouldn't kowtow to the statue, and I might have missed this opportunity.

But what does this last sentence mean?It seems that the person who opens the treasure box can only use the blood of Taoism. What is the blood of Taoism?Chen Ziyang had an idea in his mind, Yuan Tiangang was a member of Taoism, and although it was unclear which branch of Taoism he belonged to, he was still a member of Taoism.

It seems that what he left behind can only be opened by the disciples of Taoism.Thinking of this, Chen Ziyang poured mana into his middle finger, and then he bit the fingertip, and dripped the blood of the middle finger containing mana on the box.

After drops of blood dripped on the box, Chen Ziyang was surprised to find that the blood was sucked into the box, and there was not even a trace of marks on the surface of the box. It seems that his method should be correct. The blood of the law should refer to the blood that contains the magic power of Taoism.

There was a "click" sound from the side of the box, and Chen Ziyang saw a small piece popped out from the side of the box.Holding the popped-up place with his fingers, he pulled out a small stone box from the box, and a thing like a roll of cloth lay quietly in the box.

It seems that Zhang Taixu and Wang Dingqian, who came here before, did not enter this secret room, otherwise the contents of the box should have been taken away by the two of them long ago.In this way, I really have a chance.

Without the slightest hesitation, Chen Ziyang took out this cloth-like thing from the box.

The feeling of rolling this cloth is very strange. It doesn't feel like paper, cloth or silk.This cloth roll feels softer than paper, but stiffer than silk. It feels like a piece of cloth that has been soaked in oil for many years.

Perhaps because of the age, the cloth scroll looks yellowish and blackened.After unrolling the cloth roll, Chen Ziyang found that there were some things drawn with black lines on the cloth roll, but these lines were not very clear against the blackened cloth.

Then he put the flashlight on the ground, and held the cloth directly above the flashlight. With the bright beam of the flashlight, the things drawn on the cloth became much clearer.To Chen Ziyang's surprise, there was not even a word on the fabric, but a map.

Although there is no way to see clearly what is drawn on this map for the time being, Chen Ziyang knows that this map has nothing to do with his leaving this secret room, so he put the map away.

Through this series of events, Chen Ziyang knew that the things recorded in this map must be very important, but now is not the time to study this map, and his first priority now is to find a way to leave this secret room, so as not to be Suffocate here, otherwise, no matter how precious things are, they will have no meaning.

In the entire secret room, apart from the pile of fur piled up like a hill, the only thing left was the statue with the chest cavity opened.Chen Ziyang reckoned that the mechanism to leave was still on this statue, so he took two steps forward to search for it on the statue.

Stepping up to the front of the statue, Chen Ziyang found out that the two eyes of the statue were not carved directly on the statue, but were embedded with two black gem-like things. When the statue looked at me, I would feel that the statue's eyes were piercing.

At this moment, the static statue suddenly turned slowly to the right at an angle, and then the two black gemstones embedded in the eye sockets of the statue were ejected. While leaning on it, it hit a black stone slab, and with the impact of two black gemstones, the black stone slab that was hit slowly rose up, revealing a pitch-black hole.

A gust of cold wind blew into the secret room from the entrance of the cave, blowing up a lot of dust in an instant. At this moment, Chen Ziyang felt that his breathing was a little more transparent. It seemed that the oxygen content in the secret room had increased, so that means this This passage must be connected to the outside, at least connected to a space that does not lack oxygen.

"Haha, I really shouldn't die. I knew there must be life here, and I found a way out." Before Chen Ziyang was happy enough, he suddenly felt that the whole secret room seemed to be shaking.

A trembling feeling came from under his feet, and Chen Ziyang felt that he was a little unsteady, and then he found that the ceiling of the entire secret room was slowly pressing down. It seemed that if he didn't leave here quickly, he would be killed. Pressed directly into meat sauce.

Regardless of looking for the two gemstones that fell on the ground, after bowing to the statue, Chen Ziyang hurried to the side of the cave entrance and got in.

Chen Ziyang, who had just crawled a few meters in this passage, heard a crackling sound coming from behind him. He guessed that the top of the secret room had already collapsed the statue of Yuan Tiangang. Even if he didn't have to look back, he knew that this passage had been sealed, and the only way left was to move forward.

The passage was not very long. With the light of the flashlight in his hand, Chen Ziyang saw a stone wall not far away, and there seemed to be a relatively small space between the passage and the wall.

After getting out of this passage, he found himself in a passage similar to a tomb passage, but the scale of this tomb passage was much narrower than the one that everyone had walked through before.

Turning on the communicator on his body, Chen Ziyang yelled at the communicator for a long time, but he didn't get any answer at all except for the noise of the current. It seems that the nearby stone wall blocked the signal of the communication repeater. The communicator is temporarily useless.

After taking photos of the left and right sides with the flashlight, Chen Ziyang found that although the tomb passage was narrower, it was very long, and the flashlight that could illuminate more than 100 meters did not reach the end at all on the left and right sides. Didn't see any other forks either.

"Which way should we go?" Chen Ziyang hesitated in his heart, but then he was relieved.This Taoist holy land is really his own blessed land, not to mention solving many puzzles one after another, and now he has obtained the treasure left by Yuan Tiangang.

From this point of view, as Yuan Tiangang said in the stone box, he has a chance.Thinking of this, he turned and walked to the right.

After walking along the long tomb passage for a while, Chen Ziyang still did not see the end of the tomb passage, nor did he see where the tomb passage forked.Just as he was hesitating whether to search in another direction, suddenly there was the sound of stones rubbing against the wall beside him.

On one side wall of the passage, several connected stone bricks slowly moved down, revealing a one-meter-square hole, and a black figure was wriggling in the passage behind the hole.

Chen Ziyang lifted the ancient Xuanming sword to his chest, and at the same time shone the flashlight into the passage, only to find that the black shadow wriggling in the passage was a person crawling forward.

Seeing the light shining on him, the person in the passage also raised his head. Although the person in the passage couldn't see Chen Ziyang on the opposite side clearly because of the flashlight, but Chen Ziyang saw that the person in the passage was The person crawling in the passage is Taoist Xiaoyuan.

This feeling of meeting a living person in the Jedi, and meeting someone he was familiar with instantly made Chen Ziyang overjoyed. He hastily stretched out his hand to Xu Xiaoyuan, and at the same time removed the flashlight.

"Taoist Xiaoyuan, it's me, Chen Ziyang."

Hearing Chen Ziyang's words, Xu Xiaoyuan let out a sigh of relief. After rubbing her astringent eyes illuminated by the flashlight, she reached out and grabbed Chen Ziyang's outstretched hand.

The two chatted briefly for a while, and it turned out that Xu Xiaoyuan also fell into a passage surrounded by smooth black stone slabs, but it was obvious that the passage she fell into was not the one that Chen Ziyang fell into, because The passage that Xu Xiaoyuan fell into did not fork, she slid directly into another secret room.

The inside of that secret room was also covered with moldy fur, but Xu Xiaoyuan's condition was much better than Chen Ziyang's. She was not knocked unconscious, but used the oxygen in her own oxygen tank to persist for a long time. Time, and cleverly solved the riddle in the secret room, and then opened this escape channel.

Chen Ziyang also briefly told Xu Xiaoyuan about his experience, but he hid the fact that he got what was in the statue of Yuan Tiangang.After all, this matter is not very clear, and Chen Ziyang feels that the map hidden in the statue has nothing to do with cracking the Taoist holy land, so he doesn't want too many people to know for the time being.

Although Xu Xiaoyuan's narration was uneventful, judging from the wounds on her body and the unkempt state of her face, Chen Ziyang estimated that what Xu Xiaoyuan experienced was much more dangerous than what she told herself.

Now Chen Ziyang admired the woman in front of him even more.Not simple, really not simple.Being able to escape from the secret room alive, Xu Xiaoyuan is already very admirable.

"Did you meet anyone else? What should we do next?" Xu Xiaoyuan asked after Chen Ziyang's wound was simply bandaged.

"You're the first person I've met since I got here, but I think since both of us can survive, they're pretty much the same. The two of you should look in this direction first, maybe you will meet other people."

After Xu Xiaoyuan nodded in agreement, the two walked side by side along this passage.
