Chapter 27 Hands
Jiang You touched a cold hand in the dark, and his scalp went numb instantly. He grabbed his wrist tightly as a reflex, raised his arm, and threw it away. Then he bounced off the ground and jumped back. With a 'squeaking' sound, he drew out the Shengxie Sword, alerting him to the attack that might come at any time!
After the man was thrown out, there was no movement at all. Jiang You waited for a while and then remembered that he had a flashlight on him. He took it out and opened it. When he looked over, he saw a body lying under the wall in front of him.
"Dead people?" The most indispensable thing in the ancient tomb was the dead, but this one was wearing modern clothes. Jiang You walked over and took a photo of his face. It turned out to be the bone-cutting gloves that had been sold to him in Guijie Street. Grave robber!
Jiang You thought about it and guessed that it must be the Zodiac gang who captured this person and took him to the tomb to lead the way. They kept him there until there was no use anymore. They were afraid that he would leak his information, so he killed him and silenced him!
These people were indeed ruthless. When he turned the body over with his sword, he saw a huge hole in the back!
So, you are on the right track!
Jiang You used a flashlight to look around. It was a sealed tomb. There was a hole in the upper corner, which was exactly where he fell. There was a platform in the middle, and a blood-red coffin was placed above it!
Since the people of the Chinese zodiac have been here, where are they? Jiang You was puzzled. The place was not big and the view was unobstructed. There was no other exit. Could it be that they also had the magical power to walk through walls?
Jiang You touched around along the wall, but found no mechanism, "Then there is only one place!"
Jiang You walked up to the coffin. The coffin was made of wood and painted with red paint. After years of decay, the coffin lid had been pried open and was only half-covered!
He no longer hesitated and kicked the coffin lid away. When he looked inside, there was nothing!
It turned out to be an empty coffin!
"Strange!" Jiang You originally thought that there might be a passage in the coffin from which the people of the Chinese zodiac disappeared, but now there is none!
Jiang You groped around in the coffin, but no mechanism was triggered. It was just an ordinary coffin.
"It's impossible. Even if those people really have the power to walk through walls, it's impossible for everyone to have it. There must be an exit here. Where did I overlook it?"
Jiang You looked around the coffin carefully with the flashlight, not missing any detail. Finally, he found a handprint somewhere on the base of the platform. The surrounding area was covered with dust. Only this place was clean. If he hadn't gotten closer, See, it’s easy to miss the “Eureka!”
He faced the handprint and put his hand up. First he pressed it hard, but there was no response. Then he pushed it forward with all his strength. He watched as the heavy platform slowly deflected clockwise until he could no longer move, revealing a narrow hole underneath. The entrance of the cave!
"Sure enough," Jiang You said with a smile, put his sword back, turned on the flashlight, and dived into the hole!
The cave was extremely narrow. Fortunately, Jiang You had a well-proportioned figure. He was able to squeeze in. He used his hands and feet to crawl forward with difficulty. The air here was extremely stuffy and there was insufficient oxygen. After climbing for a while, he was out of breath. He stopped to rest. When I was there, suddenly there was a dense sound of footsteps above my head!
"Da da da!"
"Is that the group of people from the second department?" Jiang You thought, and then he felt something was wrong. The footsteps were very regular, like they were walking in a queue, and a coldness seeped down from above!
It's weird!
Jiang You held his breath and lay on the spot, not daring to move. He could not advance or retreat in the passage. Once he was discovered by someone from above, he would be like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. He could not hide even if the sword from above was stabbed down.
The footsteps gradually went away, and he breathed a sigh of relief, and then continued to crawl forward. After crawling for a cup of tea, he heard a burst of fierce gunfire from the front, and the sound of bullets hitting the wall was everywhere. The silence was extremely huge, "Finally caught up!" Jiang You turned off the flashlight and crawled forward quickly!
When he reached the exit, the sound of gunfire had disappeared. He crawled out of the hole. Below was a dry ditch. He lay down in the ditch, raised his head and looked out carefully.
There is a huge tomb space here. There is a white candle lit in the corner of the tomb, emitting a faint green light. There are eight coffins standing upright in the center, forming a circle. There are Bagua patterns carved on the floor. Each coffin corresponds to a hexagram.
There were three mummies lying on the ground and some scattered bullet casings. It looked like the place where the gunfight was undoubtedly taking place, but where did the people go?
After Jiang You made sure that no one was hiding here, he touched up from the edge of the ditch, bent his waist, and went to check the ground first. The three mummies were dressed in ancient costumes. Their flesh and blood were shriveled, and some of the bones were exposed. He touched the bullet casings and found that they were still there. There was still residual warmth, and the person probably hadn't gone far yet. It was still too late to chase after him. There was a corridor in front of him, and they probably continued to go deeper!
I just feel that this battle ended so hastily, it happened suddenly, and it ended suddenly. Forget it, I will find out when I catch up!
Just as Jiang You was about to chase down the corridor ahead, a gust of cold wind suddenly came from his back, sending chills down his spine. A thorny feeling of threat came from behind. He turned around suddenly, and saw that he was crawling out. There was another passage three or four meters above the entrance of the cave. At this time, the passage was filled with black mist, and the dark wind blew in, causing the green candlelight to sway left and right, and finally went out with a pop!
Footsteps sounded again, and this time the sound of metal collision could be vaguely heard!
No, the things in the cave were attracted by the gunshots. We met ladies in palace attire in front of them. Could they be those samurai this time?
Just when Jiang You turned around, a gap opened in the coffin board behind him, and a hand stretched out from inside, reaching towards his back.
Jiang You suddenly felt a hand on his shoulder. He was shocked. He raised his hand and wiped the Shengxie Sword behind him, about to cut it down. But before he could draw the sword, a huge force came from him. , pulled him directly into the coffin, and the coffin board covered it with a bang!
As soon as Jiang You entered the coffin, his arms were immediately cuffed. Just as he was about to scream, another hand covered him, "Don't make any sound!"
The voice sounded familiar. I turned around and saw Lu Yuan's face revealed in the darkness. There was someone crowded next to him. Who could it be if it wasn't Chen Shi?
"What are you two doing?"
"Shh!"
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Chen Shi. Chen Shi held a gun with a nervous look on his face and stared at the coffin board!
The footsteps are getting closer and closer, "ta da da."
He had arrived at the Bagua array, approaching Jiang You's coffin, and finally stopped outside the coffin!
