Holy Bone

Chapter 360

After a little preparation, everyone began to ascend the road to heaven.

The old Taoist was carried on the back by the sword. In order to prevent the sword from jumping over the hanging coffin due to too much movement, the old Taoist was thrown off the cliff, and the sword was bound to the old Taoist on his back.

Jin'an, on the other hand, holds a stone bow in his hand and is responsible for protecting the sword and the old Taoist.

In fact, there were not many things to prepare, and Jin An took the lead in entering the bronze lock coffin formation first.

With a few nimble touches on the iron chain, Jin An easily leaped onto the hanging coffin. In an instant, the hanging coffin swayed.

Meanwhile, hoo--

The flame of the torch in Jin An's hand flickered a few times, there was actually a draft in the hole.

In fact, the iron chains that locked the hanging coffin were very thick. The chains hanging on the hanging coffin shook slightly and then quickly returned to calm. Both the iron chains and the hanging coffin were very strong.

Jin An jumped a few more hanging coffins, tried the iron chains and they were very strong, so he shouted to the sword outside: "The iron chains and hanging coffins here are very strong, you can rest assured to come up."

The second person who jumped onto the hanging coffin was the sharp sword carrying the old Taoist priest.

Don't look at Chi Jian carrying a person behind his back, but he seems to be walking on flat ground, and he walks more steadily than Jin An.

"Hiss, it's so cold in here." The old Taoist stuttered his lips.

indeed.

Jin An also discovered at the beginning that the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the pit is huge: "Perhaps there is a vent under our feet that leads directly to the outside, and the reason for the wind blowing in is that the temperature difference inside is indeed a bit large."

Afterwards came Miss Hongyu and the Wu brothers.

These three people's kung fu skills were not as good as Jin An and Chi Jian's, the hanging coffin shook violently, almost knocking them down on the coffin lid.

Old man Qi was the last one to come up.

It's hard for him, an old man, to jump up and down with young people. He climbed carefully while holding on to the iron chains. Fortunately, these iron chains are thick and strong enough. As long as the movement range is small and more careful along the way, It's not too dangerous.

Although I was afraid, I was able to keep up with the team slowly.

In fact, just to be on the safe side, everyone discussed it early in the morning. In order to prevent these coffins and iron chains from being in disrepair for a long time, they cannot bear the weight of several people at the same time, so each time a person steps on a coffin or climbs an iron chain.

The density of chains and coffins in this tunnel is very high. As long as you let go of your courage, even ordinary people can climb through the chains smoothly. Several people went smoothly along the way without encountering any danger. They all looked back and forth relaxedly at the abyss and pothole in front of them.

Speaking of which, the rock formations in this pothole are obviously different from other places.

It turned out to be off-white.

Jin'an, who was walking ahead to explore the road, saw the old Taoist priest looking at the cliff curiously, and explained casually: "These should be sandstone. The main characteristics of sandstone are good sound insulation, moisture absorption, no moss, corrosion resistance and durable effects. "

"And it can also absorb light, warm in winter and cool in summer, maybe that's why our light source can't illuminate very far here."

When he said this, Jin An inadvertently frowned slightly.

If it is really sandstone, logically speaking, the rock formation outside should not be the same as the rock formation here?Could it be that the geological formation was special tens of thousands of years ago?
This doubt was hidden in Jin An's heart, but he did not say it out.

The environment here is a little gloomy, like a road leading directly to the underworld, plus there is a fifth mural prophesying, the atmosphere of the team is already a little too tense, so there is no need for him to add fuel to the fire at this time, add a few more Fire.

The old Taoist clicked his tongue and said, "Little brother, you really know a lot."

The three people in the Wu Zang Dao Temple said that they didn't care about old man Qi and the others, but Jin'an, who was walking ahead to explore the way, would still stop for a while from time to time, and he would move on after the people behind him followed.

Jin An and Jian Jian are the kind of people with high skills and boldness. These hanging coffins can't trouble them. The two legs and feet are much faster than others. At this time, Jin An and Jian Jian slowed down again and waited for other people. People follow.

While waiting, the old Taoist was still looking at the rock walls around him, and then showed a strange expression: "Little brother, I don't know if it's an illusion, old Taoist, why do I feel that the surrounding rock walls... say they are rocks, but..."

When the old Taoist said this, he became a little hesitant, with a scruples on his face.

Jin An looked back, Miss Hongyu and the others still had some time to catch up, and asked the old Taoist what to do, and said something directly.

The old Taoist was alert to his surroundings, and said in a voice that only the three of him could hear: "Little brother, I'm not an old Taoist, I think too much, but don't you think that the gray-white rock wall here looks like... the mass grave was dug out by wild dogs?" Does the color of the rotten bones of the dead in the coffin seem to be the same?"

"And it's still the kind of rotten bones of a dead person who has lived for several years." Finally, he added.

When the old Taoist said this, Jin An was taken aback for a moment, and saw that he scraped the rock wall around him with the stone bow in his hand.

It can be seen that it is strong enough.

If it is said that the underground palace was affected by the blessed land of the cave, and some miraculous changes have taken place, which are harder than ordinary rocks outside, he believes it.

But after listening to the old Taoist's words, he looked at these gray-white rock formations, and he already had a little more thought.

Thinking of this, he stretched out his hand to touch the rock wall, his fingertips were sensitive to the touch, and his first reaction was that the sandstone surface was covered with many small holes, and the edges of the small holes were a bit sharp, cutting his hands.

Realizing this strangeness, Jin An frowned.

Although the surface of normal sandstone is also rough, and there are some small uneven holes, but the feel is just a little rough to the touch, and it is definitely not the sharp edge of the hole that cuts the hand.

This reminded Jin An of the honeycomb-shaped countless small holes in the cross-section of the bone when they secretly gnawed on the leg bone with the goat on their backs.

In fact, that thing is called bone.

Bone hyperplasia and osteoporosis are often mentioned, and this is what they are talking about.

"What's wrong with you, little brother, did you think of something?" Seeing Jin An frowning in thought, the old Taoist asked nervously, thinking that he thought of something.

"Is this place marked on the map of the big stone pier stolen by Xiao Jingming's benefactor?"

Jin An shook his head: "This road is not marked on the map, at least in the undamaged part of the map, I didn't see this road. But... I have some guesses about where we are now."

"what?"

"where is it?"

The old Taoist hurriedly asked.

At this moment, even Cutting Sword looked curiously.

Jin An didn't answer right away, he first looked up at the top of his head, but the hole was absorbing light, and the top of his head was pitch black, with no end in sight.

Then he came to the edge of the hanging coffin carefully, and looked down at the abyss under his feet. It was also pitch black, and he couldn't see where he came from.

It was as if they were standing in a land abandoned by heaven.

Chaos up and down.

Seeing Jin An dawdling back and forth, the old Taoist priest was so itchy and curious that he almost scratched his ears and cheeks, and hurriedly asked: "Little brother, you are so worried about me, the old Taoist. What exactly did you find, tell me quickly."

Unexpectedly, Jin An played a riddle: "Old Taoist, didn't you say that these gray and white rock walls look like the color of dead people's bones from last year? Look at the abyss and pits we are in. There is no end to the top and no bottom to the bottom. You Have you guessed where we are yet?"

In fact, this hint is already very obvious.

What is the longest bone in a person?
The old Taoist stared wide-eyed: "The god of the mountain, the bone of heaven and earth!"

There is such an original sentence in the "Shaking the Dragon" which is a collection of Fengshui:

Mount Xu is the bone of heaven and earth, and Zhongzhen is a giant.Such as a person's back and neck beam.The four limbs are born abruptly.The four limbs are divided into four worlds, and the north, south, west, and east are the four factions.The Kongtong in the northwest is tens of thousands of miles away, and the three curtains in the east are Yaoming.Only when the Southern Dragon entered China, it was strange that the fetal lineage conceived ancestors.The nine bends of the Yellow River are the large intestine, and the bends of the Chuanjiang River are the bladder.The branches split the veins vertically and horizontally, and the qi and blood hooked to meet the water.The big one is the imperial state of the capital, and the small one is the county and county.Secondly, there are small towns with folk prescriptions, and there are also rich and noble people living there.

The heaven and earth bone in this feng shui term refers to the spine.

No wonder the old Taoist was so shocked.

If this is really the spine of the mountain god, why is it hidden on the map instead of marked?

If this human-shaped mausoleum resembling Polygonum multiflorum is really the remains of a mountain god from ancient times, why are there so many chains and hanging coffins on the bones of the mountain god?

Suddenly, the old Taoist said excitedly: "That's right, the hanging coffin and Xuangong, these two pronunciations are similar! The bone of heaven and earth is a good place for Fengshui to store wind and gather energy. Opening up Xuangong with the pattern of seven-star feng shui will continuously nourish the points." Stone tree, unite the two into one!"

"In the art of numerology, the spine is also said to be Kunlun Buzhou Mountain and Tianzhu Mountain. It is the backbone that stands up to the sky. If it is interrupted by Buzhou Mountain, it will be difficult to get up again. If this is really the remains of the mountain god, and it is also a woody mountain god Polygonum multiflorum, these bronzes Hanging coffins and iron chains belong to gold among the five elements, and gold overcomes wood. It is most appropriate to use gold and stone to break the bones of wood and earth! This interlocking mausoleum design is both mutually reinforcing and mutually restraining. It is so wonderful! "

The eyes of the old Taoist stared wider and wider, and he seemed to have thought of something more astonishing. Just as he was about to continue talking, at this moment, there was movement behind him, and it was old man Qi and Miss Hongyu who followed.

His words came to an abrupt end.

There are outsiders present at this time, so it is inconvenient to talk about it.

Next, the team continued to climb up. Everyone worked hard and wanted to leave this uncomfortable cold place as soon as possible.

"Brother, did you stop here to wait for us?" The old man Qi, who had been at the end and panted from climbing, showed gratitude to Jin'an when he saw that he had finally caught up with the team.

Jin An didn't say much else, he continued to walk at the forefront to explore the way.

It's just a long way.

They encountered a strange thing, the distance of the team all the way up has been far more than twenty or thirty feet, but they can't get to the end.

"This road seems to be a bit wrong. We have been walking for so long, why can't we reach the end?" When Jin An stopped to wait for others again, and Old Qi and the four caught up again, someone raised a question.

Jin An reckoned that they had already walked nearly a hundred feet, even if they didn't have a hundred feet, they would have walked ninety feet. It can be seen from the fact that old man Qi is so tired that his face is almost completely pale.

Don't look at the Baizhang Road, they climbed along the iron chains and hanging coffins, and their physical exertion was no slower than climbing a cliff.

At this time, there were outsiders present, and Jin An couldn't discuss with the old Taoist priest and Paijian. He could only silently calculate the proportion of the human-shaped tomb on the big stone pier, and finally came to the conclusion that they had exceeded the chest position of the human-shaped tomb. , has surpassed the Atrium Profound Palace.

Jin An was surprised. Could it be that the exit of the bone of heaven and earth leads directly to the most mysterious Heavenly Court Profound Palace?

"Let's take a rest, wait until we regain our strength, and then continue to climb for a certain distance to see. The depth of this underground palace should be limited. We have traveled so far, and we may be coming to the end soon."

What Jin An said was not wrong, they were indeed going straight to the head of the humanoid mausoleum.

After eating some fruits to restore our strength, we rested on the spot and continued on our way.They walked more than a hundred feet in this light-absorbing black hanging coffin array, and there were still endless bronze chained hanging coffins in front of them.

This time, everyone sensed that something was wrong. After Jin An waited for people to gather again, he paused and continued to move forward. In fact, even if Jin An didn't stop, the others would almost be discouraged and unable to climb.

"Yes, is it that we can't go out? Sure enough, this underground palace has become a living thing for a long time. Is it that the old man in the underground palace wants to trap us in this endless road...Let, let us never get out for the rest of our lives!" Climbing After wearing the iron chain for so long, old man Qi was exhausted and terrified of being in a desperate situation, his sanity became a little confused, and he began to talk about the temple builder and the tomb again.

Not to mention old man Qi, people are trapped in a claustrophobic space, and everyone's spirits are a little bit bad.

But Jin'an, Chijian, and Hongyu girls are among the few calm people.

Jin'an didn't pay attention to the old man Qi, who was a bit confused, but looked at the others: "Old Taoist, disciple, Hongyu girl, you know something about Fengshui, Qimen Dunjia or the structure of mausoleums. Didn’t you see any frowns? Is what traps us now is the Qimen Dunjia trap or is it really related to some dirty things in the tomb?”

Surprisingly, it was Miss Hongyu who answered first among the three: "Everyone in our line of business has a habit of leaving clues along the way every time we go down to the tomb, so as not to lose our way and not be able to tell the difference between the southeast and the southeast." Northwest. But I didn’t find any clues along the way, which shows that we are not circling in circles, but have been walking forward.”

Miss Hongyu had a strange look on her face. Before she answered, she glanced at Chijian, as if she was a little curious why Jin'an would ask for advice from Chijian who had been silent all the way?
What she didn't know was that Chi Jian was with her.

Perhaps it is precisely because the special temperaments from her peers attract each other that she pays special attention to the taciturn sword sharpening along the way.

Jin An pondered, and then asked the old Taoist: "What do you think, old Taoist?"

The old Taoist shook his head in frustration and said: "The surrounding rock walls absorb light, and you can't see too far away, so you can't use the technique of phase and earth, and you can't use Fengshui and Qimen Dunjia as a reference."

frown.

Jin An looked at Chijian.

As a result, Jianjian seemed to go crazy, and jumped from the hanging coffin with the old Taoist priest on his back.

what--

In the quiet abyss, the miserable scream of the old Taoist priest resounded, and an old life was not half scared.
