Modern Onmyoji

Chapter 214 Method of Building Tombs in Earthquake Zones

This is not the first time I have heard the ancient call.With the gradual awakening of Yang Qilin's physique, coma became more and more impossible for me.But I could feel that every time I heard the call I fell into a pretty severe stupor.

Like a dream, I saw an endless ice field.Pure white snow and blue sky are the eternal colors in the field of vision.It seems that it has not changed for thousands of years.The seemingly psychedelic and beautiful scene, but I feel extremely bored.It's like facing the boredom after a thousand years in emptiness and loneliness.

"Punish your sins, half of your life in the dust of the night, and half of your life in the loneliness of the day. Under the copper pillar, you will bear the punishment of eternal life, as an example to others, and the heaven and the earth will be the witnesses, and all things will be subdued!" The sound of thunder seemed to come from the wrath of heaven.Only then did I realize that I was tied to a copper pillar.The copper pillars glued my flesh together in the cold wind, almost making my whole body become one with it.

"Punish your sins, eternal life is like a fiery sun, and eternal life is like a knife and wind and sand. Carry the extreme heat of the earth on the chopping block, as an example to others, the sky and the earth are witnesses, and all things are subdued!" The sound of thunder came from a farther place I vaguely felt that it was coming from somewhere, and then I would talk about another person.Another being who was punished like me.The distance between her and me needs to span the entire earth, and we are suffering torture that is worse than death.And none of us chose to give up on ourselves, just because we were calling each other, "Don't die—" "For me—don't die!"

"Don't die!" I yelled violently, sitting up all at once.I don't know when, I was already in a cold sweat.What came into my eyes was Elina's worried eyes, after seeing this familiar face.Never before have I felt the desire to hold this person in my arms.I hugged Alina all of a sudden, hugging tightly, as if I wanted to integrate her with me.As if letting go just a little bit would make her disappear.What's more, it is the disappearance of eternal life, the kind of charge that has been separated for thousands of years.

Alina was frightened by my actions all of a sudden, but she didn't do anything more, she just stretched out her hand and hugged me tightly.It's as if in a world of ice and snow, the only two people left rely on each other's body temperature for warmth.

"What's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?" After a while, Alina asked softly.

"Yeah, I don't know either. I just don't want you to leave me, never!" I never thought that I had such a vulnerable side, and I almost cried like a child at this moment.After a long time, I gradually slowed down.Only then did he realize that there were other people around him, and when he thought of the embarrassment just now, his face blushed.

"By the way, are you all right? Where is this place? Haven't you been attacked by the black shadow?" I asked hastily, while looking around, only to find that a layer of red light surrounded this large area like a mask. live.It was obviously the protection made by the uncle.Sure enough, Jiang is still old and hot. I can't deal with the black shadow, but he can easily deal with it.

"It's okay, it's hard to get your uncle and me for such a trivial matter." The uncle smiled, but I soon discovered that there was only our group here, and the Cangqi family was gone.

We exchanged information during this period, and it turned out that they also discovered the strangeness of the Aozaki family, or they never believed the Aozaki family from the beginning.But until later, the Aozaki family showed unexpected behavior.Among them, there was a person who was similar to the mutation of the tentacle monster.It was a human arm cut off by a black shadow attack, and a large number of tentacles grew from the cut.This is obviously Shiro Ishihara's method.At that moment, Aozaki Yuko was also a little embarrassed.But the other party is not professional in the end - compared with us.The people on our side responded almost instantly.They were the first to hold each other's hands, and disappeared into the mist in the blink of an eye.

The strength of Qimen Dunjia is beyond imagination, after only a few tens of meters apart, neither side can find each other.The subsequent black shadow attack caused them a little loss.Fortunately, my uncle's Sanyang Jue has already reached an extraordinary state. Although I don't know what these monsters are, it is enough to stop them.Just when they were helpless, I jumped out of the water behind.

I also told them about my findings, along with the underlying structure.If you want to enter Jianzhen's tomb, you must first pass through the layer of water below.We analyzed it, and my uncle and I can ignore the high temperature below.But how to enter the tomb after going down is another problem.Theoretically, it is necessary to crack the underwater Qimen Dunjia to open this layer of closure.

"Can't even you crack the Qimen Dunjia here?" Sun Fuyuan asked strangely.

"Give me time on the ground and I can crack it, but not underwater." I shook my head and said, "This is the Qimen Dunjia that comes with it. Use one Qimen Dunjia to protect the other. Invisibly, the difficulty has increased geometrically."

"In that case, is it okay to dig a passage directly down?" Master Uncle asked, "If the two of us come here in turn, it is not difficult to dig a passage."

"Theoretically it is possible, but don't forget where this place is. I always feel that the ancient tombs that can be built on this kind of earthquake zone must not be dug in directly. No matter how strong our digging power is, we cannot It is impossible to compare with the crustal activities of the past tens of thousands of years. Even the crustal activities can’t destroy it, and our digging power is probably not enough.”

Having said that, we are all silent.The Qimen Dunjia left by the ancients thousands of years ago just kept us out of the ancient tomb.It is a blessing to be able to leave alive now.To be honest, I really don't have the confidence to go in.

"Well, let's try digging first. If it doesn't work, we'll go back and make a long-term plan." Sun Fuyuan said.

"Well, even if I leave like this, I'm not reconciled." I said, and the uncle nodded, "Then let's try it first. To be on the safe side, we all tie cables on our bodies. If we save it, we won't be able to come back gone."

Let's do it, we both have cables tied to our bodies, I just woke up, it's not easy to get into the water right away.The uncle went down first. Five minutes later, the uncle was pulled up by the cable.He spat and said, "Damn, it's too mysterious down there. The rocks look dizzy, if there is no rope, I'm afraid I can't get up."

"How is it below? Is the soil suitable for digging?" I asked hastily.

"No, the quality of the soil below is hell." The uncle said, "How to describe it? Damn, let me think about it. It's like—leather—oh, no, anyway, you'll know when you go down and have a look."

I was also very curious when I heard it. I didn't miss the water, but I really didn't notice the condition of the bottom soil. "You guys wait here, I'll go down and have a look too." I said.

"Zhao Jue, are you healthy? Do you need to take a rest?" Alina asked with concern.

"No problem." I nodded and said, "Wait for me here. If I can't find my way back, remember to call me." After I finished speaking, I winked at Alina and jumped down.

This time I went straight to the bottom, and after getting closer, I began to observe carefully.There is already a place here that has been turned over by my uncle. The soil layer on the surface has been dug up, but it is less than half a meter, and another soil quality appears below.I touched it a few times and was taken aback, and I understood what the uncle said about not knowing what it was.It was like a skin sensation.But as a skin, it is too stiff.It didn't look like a simple biological skin was peeled off and put here, as if it was a whole.If that's the case, it means that there is such a huge creature below!At this moment, I suddenly thought of the reason why the tomb of Yusanjia was built on the earthquake zone but could not collapse for thousands of years.If this is the case, it is really a bit unbelievable.But after seeing the giant whale and Zhu Jiuyin in the South China Sea, this idea didn't seem so unrealistic.

I quickly swam back to the shore, and when everyone saw me coming up so quickly, they thought something was wrong.But I waved my hand and said, "I know! I know why this tomb can be built on the earthquake zone, but it can stand for thousands of years without being destroyed."

"What? What did you think of?" Everyone became curious when they heard this.

"The threat of the tomb comes from the energy of the crustal movement for thousands of years. If this energy is dealt with by modern superalloys, it can be dealt with once or twice. But after many times, the stress in the metal will superimpose, and metal fatigue will appear. A kind of crack. Not only metal, but any inorganic material has this problem. Even organic materials are inevitable. However, in this world, there is an organic material that can repair itself little by little as long as it is not fatally injured in an instant ’ I said to them.

"Self-healing materials? Memory metal? You mean that ancient people have mastered material technology that is unimaginable to modern people?" Sun Fuyuan said in disbelief, but Alina had already reacted, and blurted out, "Yes biology!"

"That's right, it's a living thing!" I snapped my fingers and said, "The only thing that can do this is a living thing! Only living things have this kind of self-healing performance, and she has both rigidity and toughness." attributes." I said, "You can see it after going down, the soil underneath is similar to skin. You should have seen giant whales and Zhu Jiuyin when you were in the South China Sea, right? monsters, and build the tomb inside, then it can be preserved in the earthquake zone for thousands of years!"
