"What should we do," Ding Xiaolan asked Qi Lu anxiously.
"Don't be afraid, everything is impermanent, evil is auspicious, and auspicious can also be fierce."
Qi Lu sneered and said, "Damn, if you want to trap me, Lao Tzu will play with you."
Qi Lu began to pluck the poppies around him with his hands, trying to make room for an open space.
Ding Xiaolan patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't bother, you're completely in vain." ” Ding Xiaolan was right, the poppies in the place where Qi Lu had pulled out grew again, and they were still surrounded by poppies.
Qi Lu had a gloomy face, took out a large piece of sulfur stone from his backpack and pounded it into powder, and then sprinkled the sulfur powder evenly on the ground around Ding Xiaolan's body.
"Now it's your turn."
Qi Lu grabbed Ding Xiaolan's right hand without saying anything, then took out a knife from her bag and cut the index finger of her right hand, and immediately blood seeped out of Ding Xiaolan's fingers.
"It hurts, what are you doing?"
"Exorcise evil spirits with your blood."
After speaking, he took out a pile of yellow paper-mounted paper from his bag and wrote runes on it with Ding Xiaolan's blood-stained index finger.
"Why don't you use your blood" Ding Xiaolan thought that Qi Lu was deliberately manipulating her.
"Men are yang, women are yin, and the evil qi here is too heavy, and women's blood is useful."
While speaking, Qi Lu had already drawn the talisman in a flying and phoenix dance, he asked Ding Xiaolan to go farther, and then put the talisman paper where Ding Xiaolan was standing just now.
Qi Lu lit the rune paper with a lighter, and at the same time chanted words in his mouth.
As his incantation became more and more urgent, flames rose on the ground, and the poppies around Qi Lu all burned.
After a while, the flames gradually extinguished, but Qi Lu's body was not burned by a trace of sparks, and a scorched clearing with a diameter of about one meter appeared under his feet, mixed with the pungent smell of sulfur.
Ding Xiaolan covered her nose and asked him, "What do you want to do?"
Qi Lu smiled hesitantly: "It's time to use my blood now."
He picked up a stone with sharp corners, bent down and sketched it on the ground.
Qi Lu drew a formation that looked very complicated, and the appearance was a bit like the Nine Palaces Bagua, but it was also different.
"If I hadn't seen the blinding work, this mysterious person used a wood-based demon spell, and the gold-based spell I learned was just enough to break it."
Qi Lu cut his left index finger with a knife again, and drew a simple Taiji diagram on his right palm with blood.
"Golden light destroys evil, breaks" Qi Lu roared, and his right palm slammed into the center of the formation, and the sand and rocks in the formation suddenly flew away, rolling up a hurricane.
The earth also seemed to sense Qi Lu's anger, and a loud "boom" sound came from the ground, and Ding Xiaolan suddenly lost her footing and almost fell to the ground.
Qi Lu said coldly: "Lie on the ground and don't move" Ding Xiaolan lay on the ground as she said, feeling the earth shaking, and feeling that there was a powerful force in the ground that was rapidly expanding outward like ripples.
Suddenly, the strange howl of ghosts and wolves sounded around them, and countless mist drifted out from the poppy flowers, and in less than a moment, the heavens and the earth were once again shrouded in a dark white mist.
The fog was getting thicker and thicker, visibility was almost zero, and all that could be seen was a vague black shadow from a meter away.
Qi Lu sneered, and a few more runes were ignited by him and thrown into the air, only to hear a loud "boom", the white mist dissipated in an instant, and the sea of poppies disappeared without a trace, and what appeared in front of the two of them was a deep mountain and old forest.
Qi Lu scolded: "Damn, this monster actually lured us to this ghost place." ” Ding Xiaolan asked: "Did we experience a ghost hitting the wall just now?"
"How many times have I told you, how can there be ghosts walking in the sun during the day" may feel that his tone seems to be a little fierce, Qi Lu then said in a calm tone: "I don't know how to describe this kind of witchcraft, maybe it's more appropriate to call it a demon hitting the wall." ” "Hmph, you're talking nonsense again."
Although Ding Xiaolan didn't know why, she had heard of some Taoist spells when she was with her uncle Chen Jixian before, and she had never heard of any evil magic such as demon hitting the wall, and Xin Dao Qi Lu was taking the opportunity to brag about his high mana.
At this time, Qi Lu suddenly coughed violently, and actually coughed up a mouthful of blood.
"Qi Lu, are you okay?"
Ding Xiaolan was suddenly frightened, worried about his safety.
"Alas, without true qi, using spells is really a big injury."
Qi Lu coughed again and said, "If there is still trouble later, it will be your turn to use spells." ” "Hmm."
Ding Xiaolan just nodded in agreement, and said worriedly: "I'm afraid that my mana is low and I can't help you." ” "Do you still remember Pei Liping's Gu, didn't you help me lift the Gu spell at the beginning, you have to have confidence in yourself, and the spell can be invincible."
"I was lucky enough to be a blind cat and a dead mouse that time, but I'm not sure this time."
"Now you are much stronger than then" Qi Lu praised her, and then said: "Remember what I said to you, and comprehend the artistic conception of existence, which is the basic condition for the magic of the spell." ” "Okay, I'll do it."
After Qi Lu said this, Ding Xiaolan slowly gained confidence.
At their feet was a field of wild meadows, surrounded by swamps in the north, south, and south, and only to the west was a dry mud field, and at the end of the dirt road was a dark cave more than two meters high.
There are dead ends on three sides, and it seems that you can only go into the hole to gamble on your luck.
Qi Lu hesitated for a moment, then motioned for Ding Xiaolan to enter the cave with him.
I didn't expect it to be an inverted gourd-shaped hole, and it was no problem to walk three or four people side by side at first, but then it became narrower and narrower, and I could only barely pass through one person.

Qi Lu shone it with a flashlight, but found that although the stone cave was narrow, it was very high, at least seven or eight meters high.
The two walls of the cave are quite flat, it is obvious that someone has repaired them, and the surface is covered with vines, and there is a lot of moss on the ground.
Qi Lu's feet stepped on the moss, and there was a sound of "poof, poof".
Qi Lu and the two of them came to the bottom after a while, and there was no way out in front of them.
"Could it be that this is a dead hole" Qi Lu muttered, and saw that there was a hole on the right side of the stone wall, so he pulled Ding Xiaolan and walked in.
This hole is just the opposite of the hole outside, the wider and wider, walking through the long passage, Qi Lu saw that something was blocking the way, so he used a flashlight to shine and found that it was a pile of green bricks.
Qi Lu beckoned Ding Xiaolan to move the pile of bricks blocking the road with him, and after moving the bricks, Qi Lu found that they had entered a closed stone cave again, the diameter of the hole was about five or six meters, there was a platform in front, there was a stone tablet on the platform, there were several broken bowls and clay pots in front of the tablet, and a simple incense burner.
When Ding Xiaolan saw these things, she asked, "Is this a mining cave?"
Qi Lu used a flashlight to shine on the bare stone walls around him and said, "There is no mine in the cave at all, how can it be a mine cave." ” "Then how do you explain what someone in the cave has used?"
"I'm guessing it's a sacrificial hole."
After Qi Lu finished speaking, he was ready to see what words were engraved on the stone tablet.
At this moment, there was a sudden loud bang behind him, Qi Lu knew that it was not good and quickly turned around to look, but found that the entrance to the cave was blocked by a big stone.
He piled down the stones with all his might, and the big stones did not move as if they had taken root.
"It's over, are we going to be trapped here" Ding Xiaolan, who followed behind, turned pale.
"Panic, let's see if there are any other holes."
"It's strange, why did a big stone suddenly fall" Ding Xiaolan had a puzzled expression.
"Someone may have followed us and deliberately framed us."
Ding Xiaolan said coldly: "If someone really follows behind, why can't we hear his footsteps?"
Qi Lu was speechless, knowing that in the depths of this cave, any sound would cause a great reverberation, and it was impossible for them not to detect the footsteps of the track.
But now is not the time to blame each other, it is more important to get out of this weird cave as soon as possible.
So they came again to the stele and saw that there was no way out but the hole from which they came.
Ding Xiaolan screamed at this time, Qi Lu shone a flashlight at her, and found that a beetle shaped like a child's fist was crawling up her leg under her feet, Qi Lu quickly brushed it to the ground and trampled it to death.
"Damn, there are no creatures in this cave, what does this guy rely on to survive" Qi Lu shone the flashlight on the stone tablet and found that there were four big characters engraved on it, like ancient tadpole scripts.
Qi Lu walked to the stone tablet and looked at the inscription, the four words "Tomb of the Gods" changed greatly as he read it out of his mouth.
The places where the gods are buried are usually forbidden places, and if ordinary people inadvertently break in, it is basically a dead end.
Just when he was frightened, he noticed some strange lines emerging from the stone surface under his feet.
Qi Lu opened it with his feet and took a closer look, and found that these lines were protruding from the stone surface, not naturally formed lines, but as if they had been carved by someone.
Qi Lu was even more surprised, and he used his foot to remove the mud and dust on the entire stone surface, only to find that it was a stone painting.
Qi Lu asked Ding Xiaolan to help together, and peeled off all the floating mud on the sixteen stone slabs on the platform, and saw that there was a picture on each stone surface.
Qi Lu compared the text on the stone tablet and the drawing style of the stone paintings, and preliminarily judged that this was a relic of the early Shang Dynasty.
Qi Lu didn't expect this stele to have such a long history, he knew that in East Asia and even including China, the appearance of stone steles with words should not be earlier than the Warring States Period, but this stele in front of him has advanced history by more than a thousand years.
What made Qi Lu feel even more strange was that the craftsmen of the Shang Dynasty basically carved patterns on bronzes, mountain rocks and stone walls, and even there were no murals in the tombs.
What's more, at that time, people did not have iron tools, if it was carved with a bronze knife, it was easy to blunt the edge of the knife and affect the construction period, the ancients were able to carve these sixteen paintings under such simple conditions, which was a huge project. i0 t1706231537:
