Chapter 62 The Hidden Way
The team followed Bai Tangli and slowly headed towards the direction we were coming. Zanglong kept looking around at the tomb passages around, trying to find the mechanism.
"This little brother, is the tattoo on your hands a tattoo?"
I was moving, and I don’t know when the Crouching Tiger appeared behind me. Just as I was looking around, I patted my shoulders and stared at the red patterns on my hands.
Perhaps it is because of the fact that there has been no evil things happening until now when I was in the tomb. Huhu is not good at mechanisms, so he has not spoken much.
And now, it seems that Chouhu is interested in the lines on my hands? Does Chouhu know the origin of this thing?
Although Wohu had suppressed his voice, Wohu's voice was not small. In addition, Mr. Qian was close to me, so he saw the traces on my hand as soon as he turned around.
I obviously saw a trace of light flashing in Mr. Qian's gaze, and the turbid eyes could not suppress the light at all.
"This is the Taotie pattern!" Mr. Qian walked over quickly, grabbed my hand, and pointed the strong flashlight at the blood-colored pattern on my hand.
Taotie pattern?
I have heard of Taotie pattern. This pattern has a long history and first appeared on the Liangzhu culture jade artifacts in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River five thousand years ago.
It is also a common pattern in bronze ware. It is a patterned animal face, so it is also called animal face pattern. This kind of monster has no body, only a big head and a big mouth, and is very greedy. He eats whatever he sees, but because he eats too much, he ends up dying. It is a symbol of greed and is the fifth son of the dragon.
I have seen it before. There are Taotie drawings in the ancestral books, but there are many styles of Taotie patterns, and only one is recorded in my book.
"This is not a tattoo. The pattern penetrates deep into the texture. There are no signs of needle pricks on the surface. If it is a tattoo, it will take a while to completely eliminate the traces. I remember the last time we met, there was no mark on your hands."
"Can you tell me what's going on?"
Before I could answer, Mr. Qian took the lead in looking at it and spoke.
After hearing Mr. Qian's words, I took a deep breath, paused for a moment, and simply told Mr. Qian what happened last time.
Mr. Qian's brows frowned gently, and my heart sank.
Could it be that this Taotie pattern appeared on my hand that was fatal?
"Old Qian's Taotie pattern will not have any impact on my body, right?" I frowned so hard, my heart was beating, and I felt panic.
When Mr. Qian heard my words, he slowly relaxed his eyebrows and shook his head:
"Don't worry, this Taotie pattern will not have any impact on your body. Taotie pattern is a kind of sacrificial pattern, belonging to the four evil patterns, which can play a certain role in suppressing evil spirits. Therefore, the last part of the gold-touching talisman in some later generations is also engraved with Taotie pattern."
"Although your Taotie pattern is a bit weird, I think there should be no major problem. After all, Taotie pattern can suppress evil and evil spirits."
"But what I can't understand is the reason for the formation of your Taotie pattern. According to what you said, the formation of this Taotie pattern is related to the figure that appeared in the bronze tripod before. In terms of identity, that thing is the victim, the unlucky guy who was stolen. If this Taotie pattern is related to him, it doesn't make sense!"
Qian can't figure it out, and I can't figure it out even more, but I always feel that the thing seems a bit strange and doesn't have much malicious intentions towards us who are cemetery.
Otherwise, the thing could kill all of us when we couldn't move.
"Don't say that those who are not, come over and I found something wrong."
Bai Tangli, who was standing far away in front, couldn't hear what Mr. Qian said, and didn't know the specific situation when he first got to the tomb, so he didn't care much about our conversation. During this period, he kept looking up and down at something wrong in the tomb passage.
Until just now, Bai Tangli's eyes lit up and she had found something wrong, and immediately exclaimed that everyone gathered together.
"What's wrong?" Mr. Qian temporarily put me aside and quickly walked towards the direction where Bai Tangli was. In front of Bai Tangli, there was a wall of a tomb passage, which was nothing different from what he had experienced before.
"Here?" Zanglong's brow frowned violently, and he slowly looked up and down for a while, and his glasses suddenly lit up.
"So that's it. It seems that the other passage should be behind this?"
Zanglong slowly breathed a sigh of relief and said something uncertain.
"It's basically almost 100% that there is a gap between the sticky bricks on the wall. I noticed it slightly when I passed by, but I didn't care at that time. Now it seems that since the back of the wall is empty, it is very likely that the passage is located."
"Now you have to find the mechanism that is opened. If the wall in front of you is the gate of the mechanism, where should the mechanism that is opened appear?"
Bai Tangli said to Zanglong, looked around from top to bottom again, and shook her head helplessly.
Although Bai Tangli's observation and logic are amazing, she is not proficient in the organization, and she can only rely on Hidden Dragon alone in this area.
"Are you sure?" Mr. Qian also looked up and down, but unfortunately he is good at Feng Shui and not a mechanism, so he can't help much.
"I'll try to see."
Zanglong spoke with a serious expression, looking up and down, and then his eyes fell on the brick on the far right.
In my opinion, the brick is no different from the normal situation. When it comes to Zanglong's eyes, it makes Zanglong's eyes shine!
"It should be this!" Zanglong murmured himself, then took two steps forward, and gently pressed the brick.
The bricks did not sink, as if they were completely fitted on them, no difference from normal conditions. Seeing everyone's hearts squeezing to their throats, Zanglong smiled slightly on his face and tapped on the bricks lightly.
With this press and tap, the bricks rose sharply, and it seemed like something was pushing it outward. The bricks moved out bit by bit.
Without much effort, the brick completely landed on the ground.
This brick was just the beginning, and then the bricks around it began to move outward from the beginning of this brick.
"Dongdongdongdong..."
With the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground, the bricks then smashed heavily on the ground, making sounds.
In less than ten minutes, a large piece of brick could no longer withstand a black hole was exposed.
Deep in the entrance of the cave was another tomb passage, and there was obviously another road at the other end of the entrance of the cave. Seeing this scene, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and obviously had found a way forward.
