Everyone sat down to rest. Mr. Bai could hardly sit still. He was weak due to excessive blood loss. Although Wu Qi had been carrying him, he was still very weak. There was sweat on his forehead, so he simply lay down.

Seeing that Mr. Bai was so weak, Wanqi Linmu was a little worried, so he took a dagger, cut open his palm, took some blood, asked Mr. Bai to drink it, and said, "Is it better?"

Mr. Bai said weakly: "Don't take any more blood, I won't die for the time being."

Mr. Bai was very weak, but looked very stubborn. Wanqi Linmu said nonchalantly: "I have Phoenix blood, and I will heal soon anyway..."

As he spoke, he looked down and looked at his palm strangely, forgetting to say the next words.

heal?

Wanqi Linmu is the blood of the phoenix. Phoenix blood has a strong regeneration ability and heals wounds very quickly. Wanqi Linmu has used his own blood several times before.

but now……

He looked at his palm strangely: "Why hasn't the wound healed?"

In order to save Mr. Bai, Wanqi Linmu opened his palm and took the phoenix blood. He was chased by Bloody Eyed Zongzi, so he didn't pay attention. Unexpectedly, the wound did not heal, and a bright red scar was left on his palm.

If the forest tree moved even slightly, the scar would split open and bleed slightly.

He opened his other palm, and in his palm was a newly opened wound, which was also bright red and showed no sign of rapid healing.

"How strange..." Wanqi Linmu muttered.

Mr. Bai also noticed something was wrong with Wanqi Linmu, and quickly grabbed his hand. He was indeed a child, and he was so weak. He even asked worriedly: "Why isn't it healed? It's still a little inflamed. What's going on?"

It's not a big wound, just a small one. Wanqi Linmu said: "Hey, it's okay. It may be the pot of this jade brave that suppressed my spiritual power, so the phoenix blood is a bit compromised, but you see it is healing.

, it’s just a little slower.”

Mr. Bai's voice successfully attracted Luo Shen. Luo Shen walked over with long legs, knelt on the ground with one knee, held Wanqi Linmu's palm and looked at it, saying, "Why is it not healed? It's inflamed."

As he spoke, he quickly opened his backpack, took out medicines from inside, disinfected Wanqi Linmu's palms, and then wrapped them in thick gauze.

Wanqi Linmu watched in surprise as he wrapped his hands into rice dumplings, or two rice dumplings, and said, "Why did you wrap me like this?"

Luo Shen said: "The wound on the palm of your hand is easy to tear, so wrap it up to avoid touching it."

Wanqi Linmu said: "But..."

Unexpectedly, Luo Shen's attitude was very tough: "There is no but."

Wanqi Linmu: "..." Luo Xiaosan has become more capable.

Luo Shen bandaged his wound, frowned and said, "It seems that we need to get out of the tomb early and untie this jade brave."

Wanqi Linmu said: "Did you see any clues?"

Luo Shen nodded and said, "It's actually very simple. This tomb was built according to the five elements."

"Five elements?"

Luo Shen explained: "The five expressions corresponding to the five elements, staring, grinning, blinking, frowning, and raising eyebrows, have indicated the location of the tomb."

Luo Shen pointed to the expressions in turn and said: "East, south, middle, west... north."

After bandaging Wanqi Linmu's wound and tying two obsessive-compulsive bows, he continued: "Senior and I just checked the walls of the tomb. In addition to the door behind us, there are a total of five doors in this tomb.

Secret door."

"Five?" Wanqi Linmu said: "There are so many, which secret door did Yuan Feiming enter?"

Luo Shen said: "If the inscription on the stone tablet we saw is true, that is to say, in order for the owner of this tomb to be reborn, he would definitely leave himself a door to life, and the others... are all doors to death."

Wanqi Linmu had a headache, he hated these twists and turns.

Luo Shen seemed to know what was bothering him and continued: "We have just found the trap, it's over here."

Everyone hurried over to take a look and saw a person in the middle of the tomb...

checkerboard.

Huge stone chessboard.

There are five stone chess pieces distributed on the chessboard. Each stone chess piece is as big as a hug, like a stone pier.

And these five stone chess pieces are carved into eyes, tongue, mouth, nose and ears.

Luo Shen said: "These five chess pieces also correspond to the five elements. The eyes are east, the tongue is south, the mouth is middle, the nose is west, and the ears are north."

Underneath the stone chessboard is a track on which the chess pieces can be pushed and walked. There are also radioactive tracks around the chessboard, five in total, extending to the five statues of human faces.

Luo Shen pointed to the chessboard and said: "This is a very simple little game. Roll these five organs along the track to the designated five elements, and the door to life will open."

Dajin scratched the back of his head and said, "Just...that simple?"

Wanqi Linmu also wanted to say, is it that simple? Is this a puzzle game given to them by the owner of the tomb?

Wu Qi shook his head and said, "Of course it's not that simple."

"The principle is very simple," Luo Shen added, "but it is not easy to crack the mechanism. My predecessors and I have seen all the mechanisms of the Five Elements Sect in the classics of the Wuqi clan. They are not exquisite mechanisms, but with the help of

Tried and tested in the tomb."

Wanqi Linmu said anxiously: "Then why?"

Luo Shen said quietly: "Because this organ door is called the Tongxin Gate."

Concentric door?

I have only heard of concentric knots and concentric locks, but never heard of concentric doors.

Luo Shen explained: "There are five gates in total, and there is only one gate of life. If any five-element chess piece is rolled to the corresponding position, one of the death gates will be opened, and the mechanism will be triggered to escape death. Only... roll the five chess pieces at the same time.

, only when the five elements are reached at the same time will the gate of life be opened."

Wu Qi said: "The key is at the same time."

Luo Shen said: "Look at the track of the chessboard."

The five outward-extending tracks all slope upward. Due to gravity, the chess pieces cannot roll up the slope on their own. They must be pushed by someone, and after being pushed to the corresponding position, they must be supported with force.

Luo Shen said calmly: "This door requires the concerted efforts of five people to open it, and none of these five people can let go."

Wanqi Linmu suddenly realized and said: "In other words, among the seven of us, only two can get out of this door, and the other five will be cannon fodder for the door?"

No wonder it is called the Tongxin Gate. Many tombs are designed with such a mechanism that one person cannot open. But if a gang robs the tomb, who is willing to be the cannon fodder in front of the gate? It is better to kill each other.

Mr. Bai looked a little ugly and said, "Just...is there no other way?"

Wu Qi immediately said: "Quan Bai, don't worry, of course there is a way."

When Mr. Bai heard this, he was not relieved. Instead, he rolled his eyes and said, "You didn't tell me if you had a solution."

Wu Qi had a particularly good attitude and said: "Don't worry, although the concentric doors have to be touched at the same time, we can assemble a mechanism with fishing line and use the mechanism to touch the concentric doors at the same time."

Wanqi Linmu almost forgot that Luo Shen and Wu Qi are two craftsmen.

The two of them quickly got busy. Dai Jin was also a member of the Wuqi clan. Although he didn't have any exquisite skills, he could still do some tricks.

Wanqi Linmu had nothing to do, so when he saw Mr. Bai closing his eyes and taking a rest, he walked over to Luo Shen, squatted on the ground, and watched him create little traps.

Luo Shen's mechanism is actually very simple. Use a fishing line to hook the chess pieces and connect several statues in series. When the time comes, just pull a fishing line and the five chess pieces will automatically pull towards the statues.

Wanqi Linmu held his cheek and said "huh?". Besides the silver needles and fishing lines of the Wuqi clan, there were other things on the ground. They looked like gold needles, which were already rusty and had some age.

Wanqi Linmu said: "Is this what Yuan Feiming left behind when he went to the tomb for the first time?"

Yuan Feiming was from the Mo sect, and they used gold needles. Wanqi Linmu had also seen Yuan Feiming use gold needles before.

Gold needles were scattered around the statue, and Wanqi Linmu observed that there were traces of scratches on the statue with threads, indicating that Yuan Feiming had used the same method before.

Luo Shen nodded and said, "The golden needles have become rusty, and the scratches on the statue have signs of weathering. They have been there for at least a while."

As expected, it was left behind when Yuan Feiming went to the tomb for the first time.

but……

Wanqi Linmu touched his chin and said: "Don't you think it's strange? In total, Yuan Feiming has entered this tomb twice. Why is there only one set of scratches on this statue? How did he get in just now? Did the Tongxin Door open just now?

of?"

Luo Shen shook his head and said, "I'll be fine soon."

Mr. Bai took a nap and squinted for five minutes. Wanqi Linmu helped him up and asked him to half lean and half stand with his arm around his neck.

Everyone gathered together. Luo Shen rotated the five chess pieces on the chessboard to correspond to the five directions. He then pulled the fishing line and heard a "click-" sound. The fishing line pulled the five chess pieces and was affected at the same time.

Force, pull it in five directions.

Boom——!Boom——!!

Sure enough, there was a secret door on the wall. The huge secret door made a rumbling sound, like a roaring beast, and appeared right in front of the tomb.

Luo Shen stuck the mechanism on the statue and said, "Let's go quickly."

Everyone quickly passed through the Sheng Gate. Behind the Sheng Gate was a dark hole, and another tomb passage was connected.

If it weren't for the "dong dong dong" banging sound coming from the tomb door at the back, and those bloody-eyed rice dumplings hitting the tomb door endlessly, Wanqi Linmu would have thought that they were ghosts beating the wall and turned back.

The original tomb passage.

Everyone turned on their flashlights and entered along the tomb passage. There were no wind chimes on the two walls of the tomb passage, they were bare and had nothing.
