Chapter 109

That person turned out to be Daoist Zuo Yangchuan who had disappeared before!
I stared blankly at the expressionless Zuo Yangchuan, could it be that he is at the end of this corridor right now?He really entered the maze before us.

But the question is why did he kill Zhang Deaf, or why did he kill all of us!

What is his real purpose?From this point of view, he would never simply do it for a Daoist book...

The issue in front of me is of great importance, so I naturally told Second Master Lei and the others truthfully. After hearing this, everyone became as dumbfounded as I was just now, especially Second Master Lei who personally invited Zuo Yangchuan to be his helper.

Second Master Lei's face turned blue and then pale, he was silent for a long time, and finally only said eight words, "The mantis catches the cicada and the oriole follows".

When I heard these eight words, I was shocked. Could it be that this Taoist priest has the same purpose as Second Master Lei, that he wants to live forever?
But if this is the case, then could the tunnel he walked be the gate of life?But even if he took the first step into the apse, he wouldn't be able to open that secret door, unless he really had the will to die...

In order to verify my idea, I dragged Zhang Deaf's large grid again to the other five corridors to test one by one, and the results I got surprised me, all of them were dead!

I turned around and said to Second Master Lei foolishly: "Second Uncle Lei, I... the end result of our walking into these eight corridors... will all die!"

Mr. Lei frowned, walked to each of the corridors and looked at them, and said to us: "There are no marks on the walls of these eight corridors that I carved 17 years ago, but every wall has been destroyed. Traces, it seems that someone has really entered the underground palace in the past 17 years! The extra marks before are likely to be forged to confuse us..."

Second Master Lei glanced at me, we both knew that this person was very likely to be the adoptive father, only he knew the entrance to the underground palace, only he knew the habit of Second Master Lei for engraving marks, and only he knew how to navigate the maze.

I took a deep breath, why do I feel that these puzzles are getting more and more confusing the closer I get to the main tomb?
"Second Master Lei, my father's bones and the knife's father's bones are in the apse, we can't just wait here, it's already 3:18 in the afternoon!" Xie Kui said anxiously.

Shen time is from 3 o'clock to 5 o'clock in the afternoon. Once Shen time passes, the underground palace will become dangerous and uneven, which means that we only have one and a half hours of safe time.

Second Master Lei frowned again. He pointed to the third corridor and said resolutely, "Take this passage, but I want to ask this old-fashioned old man what he wants to do!"

Second Master Lei said angrily, but Deaf Zhang said with a smile: "Yes, meeting Zuo Yangchuan is better than meeting blood corpses and Mao Jiang. At least we can die more clearly and more quickly."

"Brother Ergou, you can shut up..." I tugged at the corner of his clothes and said speechlessly.

Afterwards, we walked into the third corridor, and I looked up, and on the corridor was written the gate of death among the eight gates, and the symbol of the eight trigrams was three horizontal lines, that is, the Qian hexagram, which naturally symbolized the sky.

I smiled wryly to myself, this doesn't mean that we are going to die...

After walking into the tunnel, I don’t know why we walk very slowly. Maybe everyone is very scared, maybe everyone doesn’t want to meet death so early.

Even so, after more than ten minutes, we still saw the exit of the corridor not far ahead, and found a spacious, unknown, and dark space.

Second Master Lei, who was walking in front, stopped suddenly. I reckoned that his anger towards Zuo Yangchuan just now had gradually turned into fear.

"Second shopkeeper, let me go ahead to explore the way." Xiaodao said at this time, he would rather sacrifice himself than let Second Master Lei be in danger and embarrassment.

"No, I can't let both of you, father and son, lie in this cold underground palace, and you still have to wear sackcloth and mourning for Lao Dao!" Second Master Lei said in a deep voice, looking at his tall figure, I couldn't help feeling more and more excited admire

"Second shopkeeper..." Xiaodao said emotionally, but at this moment, Xiaodie, who was almost silent all the time, suddenly spoke up, and she said, "Let me go!"
