Hunting Heart Little Mengxian: Rebirth and Raising a Wolf

Chapter 66 Exploring the Tomb (2)

The further he walked into the tomb, the more Jiu Xiaohan discovered a pattern:

On the rock walls on both sides of the corridor and on the ground, at regular intervals, no matter how long or short the distance, there are special-shaped reliefs of the same ancient beast.

However, if you look carefully, even though the patterns are different, they seem to be the same kind of anaconda-body human-face statues, but with different postures and rich expressions.

However, after seeing too much and staring for a long time, Jiu Xiaohan will feel again:

Some of the new patterns I saw seemed different from those I had seen before.

This feeling is like a person writing the same word over and over again. However, as long as the number of written words is enough, it will become like a person not recognizing the word.

Jiu Xiaohan knows very well:

Illusions in vision are the easiest way for people to fall into some kind of immersive illusion; moreover, it is difficult to extricate themselves from this illusion for a while; it is even possible for some weak-minded people to

Will die from this.

Therefore, Jiu Xiaohan began to consciously and gradually try to avoid those alluring and hallucinogenic, totem-like reliefs of ancient animals.

At the same time, because he had learned from the hidden arrow trap on the first floor of the tomb just now, Jiu Xiaohan decided to continue taking Liang Ziyu along the corridor in the middle.

Her reverse thinking method of "going against the grain" once again successfully saved the two of them, avoiding the sudden simultaneous collapse of the ground on both sides.

However, at this moment, the two of them are immersed in the situation, but the third mechanism that they are unaware of seems to not have such good luck.

However, no one knew that this rare poison, which was colorless and odorless and had been lost for hundreds of years, was actually mixed into the candles of those copper lampstands by someone unknown.

In fact, what Jiu Xiaohan regrets the most is:

However, indeed, there is a second possibility, which is:

This poison has always been there.

No matter who you are, even if you lie on the most comfortable bed for a hundred days without moving, you will only be left with a shell of skin and bones, and you will basically lose the ability to walk.

Originally, the dark coffin lid that was sealed tightly above his head was already more than half open and resting crookedly on the edge of the coffin.

Even at that time, this corridor was already filled with the released poison; due to the protection of the thick coffin board outside, even if there was a very small ventilation hole on it,

Huangfu Yi did not inhale any of that colorless and odorless deadly gas.

Hey! No matter how you put it, it’s still your own way of doing things, it’s really too shallow!

Comparing the possible changes in the tomb of Emperor Anaconda ten years ago, Huangfu Yi's preliminary inference is as follows -

So, why are all three of them okay?!

Most likely, ten years ago, there was no poison in the tomb; now, this time, someone put the poison in advance.

However, the eight dead attendants who carried his coffin into Emperor Anaconda's tomb never left again.

However, what was very strange and strange was that although his whole body could always feel the bone-chilling cold, his clothes were dry and there was no trace of ice water left.

Ten years ago?

Is it a dream or an illusion?

At this moment of trance, Huangfu Yi seemed to suddenly have a sense of absolute reality of going back in time and being immersed in the scene.

This man is neither his biological father, but Huangfu Ruozhou, the lord of Ngee An County who talks about "benefiting the people";

Huangfu Yi couldn't be more familiar with it. Once, it was here that he was imprisoned for more than three months, a full hundred days.

Moreover, even until now, Huangfu Yi is not sure where those eight people went.

Colorless and odorless poisons or gases are very uncommon; if they were, they would have existed ten years ago or even earlier, which is extremely possible.

This time, she let her "wolf brother" Liang Ziyu fall into danger with her!

However, what made him feel a little confused was:

But the key question is, is it safer near the rock wall on the left? Or is it safer near the rock wall on the right?

This answer should only be answered accurately by the designer of the institution.

The old wounds on the heart and abdomen the day before had not completely healed, and the next day they were opened again...

For example, the sulfur rock wall, relief dye, copper lampstand, residual candle wax...

All, indeed, it was Jiu Xiaohan who was negligent.

I saw that both of them were walking slower and slower uncontrollably.

However, it is not an easy task to ensure that the poison that has lasted for thousands of years will never lose its effectiveness.

At this moment, his body was so close to Jiu Xiaohan, but he did not have the same rapid heartbeat, confusion of energy and blood, and unbearable heat as before.

I don’t know why, but at this moment, this poison will evaporate lightly with the unburned wax tail and wax oil, and spread in this tomb passage.

No matter which one of them lost their footing and fell, they would probably be stabbed through thousands of times, with blood splattering on the spot.

In addition, there is also the third most unlikely scenario, which Huangfu Yi also thought of, although it sounds a bit fanciful:

There is no poison in the tomb passage from beginning to end.

After all, when he came here ten years ago, he was tied alive in a coffin by his biological father and carried in by eight tall and thick mute deadlies.

"That person" or "those people", he or they, actually know this thousand-year-old tomb so well, they must have extraordinary abilities.

That's right, in the end, his departure can only be described as "crawling".

It wasn't until his half-brother Huangfu An gradually turned from danger to peace and was able to live a vigorous life again that Huangfu Yi got the chance to climb out of this tomb.

However, this "poison" will make Huangfu Yi, who has the immortal soul of Li Wu and the demon soul of Rong Xiao mixed in his body, become more and more addicted!!!

▽▽▽▽

Just before Jiu Xiaohan unknowingly closed her pair of deep blue eyes and lost consciousness, she also felt very regretful for her negligence after successfully getting through the two levels.

While they were still moving forward, Jiu Xiaohan and Liang Ziyu almost coincidentally and without realizing it, collapsed to the ground, unable to move their bodies anymore.

It's just that the toxicity needs to be resolved in a special way or under a special environment.

Therefore, to her, this strange fragrance is the most colorless and tasteless "poison".

Another example is mold and moss, wet rust on ironware, rotten coffin wood, and burial debris...

She has gray eyes and blue pupils that are different from ordinary people, and has extraordinary night vision and far-sightedness, as well as the "smooth progress" method that makes perfect, which has helped her a lot!

However, later on, his own Huangfu Yi, his biological father Huangfu Ruozhou, and his half-brother Huangfu An all visited the tomb of Emperor Jian.

Because, after all, Jiu Xiaohan couldn't smell her own body odor at all.

At this moment, even if she tried to take any timely rescue measures, it was already too late...

However, Huangfu Yi still roughly remembered some of his impressions of this corridor:

At that time, after he was carried into the tomb, through the small ventilation hole and lying in the coffin, he could vaguely see the shadowy, flickering candlelight along the way.

What's more, during those hundred dark nights, Huangfu Yi was not spared from severe physical and mental pain for a moment.

Huangfu Yi hated this hellish place; however, death and escape were both equally difficult and unattainable things for him.

Another example is when it is illuminated by a light source.

Perhaps it was precisely the strange fragrance that Jiu Xiaohan exuded that was extremely attractive to demons mixed with some of the unique smells in the tomb that produced such a poisonous effect.

The first possibility is:

Rather than "betting" with God on the pros and cons, it's better to continue walking in the middle step by step.

He is not the master of Qingxin Guan, the "hunting Taoist" Wuweizi who has been used by the emperor for many years; nor is he the master of the Ninth World Hall, the "great good man from all directions" who is famous in Yi'an and travels all over the world to heal.

At the same time, not only did he feel more and more that something was not right, but Jiu Xiaohan also quickly discovered that something was abnormal about her own body.

Through the faint light of several torches or candles placed somewhere outside the coffin, Huangfu Yi could see:

▽▽▽▽

Of course, from another perspective, it is understandable that Huangfu Yi also did not take any precautions in advance.

As for what exactly these poisons are used for - is it to prevent tomb robbers who maliciously break in, or is it for other purposes?

For example, when burning with a candle.

From this point of view, Jiu Xiaohan is extremely smart and astute.

Huangfu Yi was there from the beginning to the end, and behaved flawlessly according to how "Liang Ziyu" should behave:

Moreover, my small body was lying flat inside the broken coffin from ten years ago.

It's just that it's easy to hide from an open arrow, but hard to guard against hidden poison...

However, it was a pity that his left hand was pressed under Liang Ziyu's back and he could not move.

He held Jiu Xiaohan's arm tightly.

However, he hated even more that during those hundred days, that old man always wore a black robe and a bronze mask of an ancient beast with fangs, and never showed his true appearance.

Perhaps, thousands of years ago, the tomb owner named "Emperor Anaconda" was worried that future generations would dig up the tomb and steal it, so he deliberately asked the tomb passage designer to design it this way.

Jiu Xiaohan originally thought that it was normal for a slight smell of wax oil to remain in this ancient tomb that had lasted for more than a thousand years.

At that time, he was still able to survive from the tomb of Emperor Anaconda, which had been hidden underground for thousands of years. I am afraid that he was also lucky to have those two threads that had been living together in his body.

The immortal and the demon are entangled with each other endlessly.

Gradually, I became more and more aware that my whole body was weak, my breathing was not smooth, my mind was dizzy, and my lips and teeth were numb; until finally, neither of us could utter a single word.

Even, with his extremely sensitive sense of smell, Jiu Xiaohan can completely distinguish:

In addition to the smells emitted by natural sulfur rocks, relief dyes, copper lampstands, and residual candle wax oil, there are also various smells such as mold and bacteria, wet rust of ironware, rotten coffin wood, burial debris, etc.

Even though he could never see the other person's face, even if Huangfu Yi died, he would always remember the other person's voice.

Liang Ziyu couldn't see what was under the collapse, but Jiu Xiaohan could clearly distinguish that there were dense barbs on the lower floor of the underground palace.

For a moment, he leaned slightly and followed her half a step behind; for a moment, he took the initiative to rub forward and touched her shoulder.

The first mechanism may make people who follow later mistakenly think that the middle trail is not safe, and they will subconsciously hide close to the wall.

Jiu Xiaohan, who had already been attacked and passed out in Liangziyu's arms, had no time to think about these issues at this moment.

In addition, those organs have naturally been dismantled in advance.

Jiu Xiaohan fell in the thin arms of Liang Ziyu, who was already unconscious. His right hand was still trying to untie the "Fairy Willow Vine" bracelet on his left wrist.

For example, you may change your back to the walls on the left and right sides and walk sideways forward.

In other words, before Huangfu Ruozhou, the dead attendants, and the broken coffin containing Huangfu Yi came in, someone should have already arranged the utensils inside for them in advance.

These shackles, this coffin, this tomb...

However, it was a pity that this time, she neither smelled the pungent sticky acid smell that she had smelled near the anaconda pond before; nor did she smell the smell that should be present in the tombs mentioned above.

Unusual smell outside.

▽▽▽▽

When he suddenly felt that he had been splashed on the face by a basin of cold snow water, and when he woke up again, Huangfu Yi found that his hands and feet were imprisoned again.

Therefore, for any intruder, the hidden risk of death on both sides is half and half.

Because these three people never wore masks when they appeared around his coffin.

It seems that from the perspective of Taoist Wuweizi and the Ninth World Hall leader, they are not worried at all:

In the future, one day, this "Little Prince Yiqi" will regard "revenge against them one by one" as a more important event for the rest of his life than "living well"!

Every time, when the weak firelight in the corner of the tomb began to flicker, Huangfu Yi saw that the ancient beast mask face appeared again, standing gloomily beside his coffin, looking down at him carefully from head to toe again.

When looking at himself, Huangfu Yi would always stare at the two hollow eye holes in the opponent's mask.

Huangfu Yi not only remembered the other party's voice, but also firmly engraved the eyes hidden behind the mask in his heart...
