Holy Bone

Chapter 361
The scene where Shajian led the old Taoist and jumped off the hanging coffin suddenly was something that no one expected, including Jin An also subconsciously stretched out his hand to pull the sword.

However, Jin An rushed to the side of the hanging coffin, and saw that Jianjian jumped off the hanging coffin, grabbed the iron chain, and then used his arms to swing to the bottom of the hanging coffin. With the strength of his arms far beyond ordinary people, he grabbed The two sides of the bottom of the coffin.

Amidst the miserable screams of the old Taoist priest, Jian Jian let go of one hand, stepped on the coffin with both hands and feet, and jumped vigorously, and the man leaped onto the hanging coffin again.

At this time, Jian Jian's complexion was as usual, and nothing unusual could be seen.

It's just a hard time for the old Taoist priest.

Swinging several times in the abyss, his old face was pale with fright, and his lips were purple.

It can be seen that the soul is a beat slower than the body. When the person comes up, the soul has not yet caught up.

Seeing that the two of them came back safely, Jin An hurriedly asked concerned: "Teacher, old man, it's great that you're all right, good disciple, you scared Master to death just now, did you discover anything?"

Jin An knew that cutting the sword was not the kind of rash character.

As a robber, he must have found some clues here.

Chiu Jian replied with a normal expression: "Master, there is also a human face under the hanging coffin. Every hanging coffin here is a bronze coffin with four sides."

"what?"

"Four coffins?"

The rest of the people present were surprised.

They tried their best to hold the divine treasures in their hands, and used the light to see the hanging coffins above and around their heads, but the rock walls of the pits would absorb light, and the range of illumination was really limited, and the coffins a few steps away became blurred and distorted, let alone hidden The human face at the bottom of the coffin is in the shadow.

So, everyone turned to look down at the bronze hanging coffin at their feet.

"Small, little brother, old Taoist, am I still alive? Isn't this... the underworld, right?" Until then, the old Taoist's frightened soul finally caught up with his body, and he said in a trembling voice with a mournful face.

Jin An was amused by the old Taoist. Seeing that the old Taoist was still in shock, he stopped joking with the old Taoist, saying that everyone is still alive and no one is dead.

In order to divert the old Taoist's attention, he told the discovery of cutting the sword again, intending to brainstorm.

The old Taoist priest, who was still in shock, asked Shajian to put him down. He wanted to stand on the ground for a while. Just now, he had been swinging in the air several times in a row, which scared him who was afraid of heights.

The hanging coffin at their feet was indeed carved with a man's face on three sides. Those were three men's faces that looked the same, with angry eyebrows, majestic and majestic, like offering sacrifices to the gods on the bronze vessel, which was awe-inspiring.

After the sword-cutting reminder, everyone discovered that not only did the faces of the hanging coffins look exactly the same, but even their positions, lines, and sizes were exactly the same, as if they were carved out of a mold.

As big as the proportion of the facial features, as small as every subtle pattern of the coffin, the four sides are surprisingly consistent.

This discovery suddenly made the already tense atmosphere strange.

"No one can count how many hanging coffins there are here. If there are so many four-sided coffins with human faces and the same size, why do I always feel horrified and my scalp is numb? So many four-sided hanging coffins are locked here , What exactly did the immortal want to do thousands of years ago?"

"Just now we were busy on our way and didn't pay attention to it. Now that we know that we are standing under a four-sided coffin, after thinking about it carefully, don't you think we have always been staring at us all the way? No matter how we walk, the head Underfoot, front, back, left, and right, can't escape the surveillance of eyes?"

In the strange atmosphere, a few words from the Wu brothers made the atmosphere in the team even more dignified, scaring old man Qi quite a bit. Miss Hongyu glanced at the Wu brothers, but did not join in creating a panic atmosphere.

A group of seven people were trapped in the hanging coffin in the abyss, neither going up nor down for a while.

This pair of brothers is also very courageous, thinking that everyone is trapped here anyway, why not open the hanging coffin under their feet and see what is inside the coffin?
Even if no clues were found, it would be worthwhile if one or two immortal remains were found and one or two treasures were obtained.

However, the two of them worked hard for a long time, but failed to lift the lid of the coffin, and finally cursed in discouragement: "These coffins have been poured with copper juice to death."

Chi Jian looked up at the coffins hanging above his head, and said in a dull voice without any tension: "Master, this place seems to be an enchantment array."

Jin An: "Ecstasy array?"

The sword-cutting voice replied calmly: "Every hanging coffin here has four faces. The size, pattern and details of each coffin are exactly the same, and even the traces that the craftsmen deliberately made mistakes are exactly the same. The layout of these hanging coffins is like It is deliberately guiding our direction, so that we can't tell where we are up and down."

Due to his usual reticence and lack of language organization ability, Jin An still understood what he was trying to express, and his face was startled: "Hypnosis! Psychological suggestion!"

Hypnotized?

Psychological cues?

The Wu brothers, who were discouraged after failing to pull the coffin lid, turned their heads to look at Jin'an in a daze.

Jin'an organization language explained: "In the small details of our lives, there are some hypnosis and psychological hints everywhere. Some seemingly inadvertent small details often bring strong self-hypnosis to people's subconscious. For example The first time we see red cloth, we think of celebration; the first time we see white cloth, we think of a dead family attending a funeral; for example, the first time we see Taoist monks, we think of compassion..."

"For another example, if you write the same word repeatedly, you will find that the word is getting more and more unfamiliar, your memory will go backwards, some people don't know it, and the words will become more and more distorted. This is also a kind of hypnosis. It is easier for people to repeat the same thing. Tired, unresponsive, automatically ignoring some details around me."

"In this pit, there are countless four-sided coffins hanging, and the surrounding rock walls absorb light and cannot be seen too far, so it is easy to lose the sense of direction, so when we inadvertently start to use the man's face on the hanging coffin as a guide As a reference, when I tell you that we are actually not advancing but retreating, and have been going down, you will definitely object to me."

The Wu Brothers immediately stood up and retorted: "This is impossible!"

"Whether we are going up or down, the two of us brothers can still tell the difference. After all, the feeling of climbing up and down the chain is completely different. One head goes up and the other goes down!"

Jin An also knew that his conjecture was a bit of fantasy, just like what the Wu brothers said, walking with head up and down is a completely different experience than walking up and down, and this alone is hard to explain.

"I also said that when a person repeatedly does one thing or stares at one thing repeatedly, and falls into hypnosis, the person's reaction will become dull and the thinking ability of the brain will decline. During this period, we miss any important details or Some subtle changes in the body will be ignored by our own subconscious."

"Of course, it would be far-fetched to simply explain the completely different feelings between the head and the feet, so I think there must be more than one bronze coffin lock array in this pit, and there must be something else. Maybe the huge black shadow on the fifth mural is also a part of it."

"The hypnosis and psychological suggestion I'm talking about are just one of the possible conjectures. If you have other conjectures, you can talk about it and discuss it together, and brainstorm together to find a way out."

At this time, Jin An came to the side of the hanging coffin, constantly looking at the upper and lower space, wondering in his heart, could it be that this mountain god's heaven and earth bone is really a deserted place, and they are in a chaotic space up and down?
"Little brother, old Taoist, I listen to what you mean, why is it so a bit like the 'escape' technique in Qimen Dunjia?" The old Taoist priest who was back on the ground in the hanging coffin said with a look of surprise on his face after recovering a bit.

The old Taoist tried his best not to make any big moves, and tried to keep his center of gravity balanced on the hanging coffin, and continued: "This Qimen Dunjia is extensive and profound, including endless Yishu and deduction of magic numbers, based on the Book of Changes and gossip, combined with astrology. Elements such as calendar, astronomy and geography, eight gates and nine stars, yin and yang and five elements, three oddities and six rituals."

"For example, just talking about the 'Dun' technique in Qimen Dunjia, it can be subdivided into two categories, namely the 'Yang Dun' of tangible things and the 'Yin Dun' of invisible things. This tangible thing, For example, Yanshi organs; as for intangible things, mountains, rivers, geomantic omen, sun, moon, stars, and the power of ghosts and gods can all be summarized here. Little brother, what you just said about hypnosis, psychological suggestion, and the art of killing and punishing the heart also belong to "yin escape". in the category."

"It's a pity..." When he said this, the old Taoist suddenly let out a long sigh of disappointment.

"What is the old Taoist regret?"

"Tell us quickly, did you think of something?"

Several people hurriedly asked the old Taoist priest.

The old Taoist didn't answer right away, but walked carefully on the hanging coffin with a compass in his hand, shaking his head and sighing every few steps, then changing direction, shaking his head and sighing again.

This scene made the Wu brothers very anxious. They are now trapped in the abyss and hole where they can't see the sky and the underworld. Why do you still put it here to tempt people? You hurriedly asked: "Old Daoist I beg you, we know you are very capable, you know Feng Shui thaumaturgy, now we are all trapped here and can't get out, that is a grasshopper on a rope, what do you find? You should talk about it quickly, and stop playing charades with us."

At this time, the old Taoist put away the compass, then glanced at the Wu brothers, and said, "Old Taoist, as I said at the beginning, the rock walls here will absorb light, the black paint is black, and there are more than 1000 Qimen Dunjias in total." You can’t even tell what kind of game this is, so how can you break it.”

Trapped in a desperate situation, it is easy to get irritable. The Wu brothers were so angry that their mouths were crooked when they were attacked by the old Taoist priest. To break the rigidity of the atmosphere: "I agree with the two statements of subtle hypnosis and Qimen Dunjia' Yin Dun'. If there are many tombs, you will more or less come across some ingeniously designed tombs. I have also encountered Using the illusion of the human eye and the clue marks left on purpose, we always think that it is a yin palace design that is moving forward but can't get out. "

"But that time we were much luckier, and the scale of the mausoleum was not as large as this underground palace. At that time, we directly blew it out. We found out afterwards that it was a tomb chamber with back characters, which was created by hypnosis and the mausoleum designer. The clue marks intentionally left for us mislead us to take the marks as a sense of direction, and a simple tomb design with back characters has trapped us for most of the day."

Speaking of this, Miss Hongyu turned her head and looked around: "The terrain here is more complicated and more difficult to decipher."

The hidden meaning in her words is that they are now in the abyss hanging coffins, even if they have explosives, they can't use them, unless they want to fall off the cliff and fall to nothing.

The current situation is that they have clearly discovered the clever design of the four-sided hanging coffin, but they just can't find a way out.

In addition to the hanging coffins on all sides, there are other details that have been ignored by them in this pit, forming an interlocking Qimen Dunjia Bureau.

How could the Qimen Dunjia arranged by the immortals of the dojo thousands of years ago be broken so easily.

Everyone talked to each other and discussed the countermeasures. The only way they finally came up with was to cover their eyes and not look at the same faces on the hanging coffins that can hypnotize people. Maybe they can find a chance of survival.

But this approach has advantages and disadvantages.

No one can guarantee that the eyes will not be stepped on.

And if you take a wrong step on these dangerous hanging coffins, you will be lost forever.

At this time, the content of the prophecy on the fifth mural was like a big stone weighing on my heart. In the end, only a few people managed to get out alive. Is it because most of them stepped on the air and fell to their deaths?
a time.

The atmosphere became oppressive and silent.

There is despair in this silence.

"Old man, cut the sword, let's try to climb up again, this time we try not to pay attention to the faces of those men on the hanging coffin."

"As for climbing the hanging coffin blindfolded, it can only be considered as a last resort when there is no other way out. I believe that it is impossible to walk out of such a clever Qimen Dunjia game just blindfolded."

"There must be some detail we missed."

Jin An didn't wait for old man Qi and the others, he didn't discuss with others, there was no panic on his face, he was far from giving up and getting discouraged.

Seeing that the three of Jin'an set off again to find a way out, the other four followed in silence.

It's just that after climbing hundreds of feet this time, I still couldn't find the exit.

Even when they returned by the same route, they still couldn't get out, and they couldn't even find the cliff crack that they came in at the beginning.

The team atmosphere became more and more dull.
