Soon, a row of steps appeared in front of us. This row of steps was also made of ice. There were probably more than a dozen steps. Although it was not as grand as I imagined, it looked very impressive.
Looking up from below, there seemed to be something placed at the top. Mr. Mai took the lead and stopped in front of the steps. He turned around and reminded us, "Everyone, be careful when going up the steps. , there may be agencies."
I nodded and said, "Well, I know, Mr. Mai, let Jenny and the others stay. , the three of us go up.”
Jenny’s leg injury is serious, and Li Xin and Lao Shui are not in very good health. It’s better to let them stay here. Mai Laojiao and I are enough. Well, if there really is a mechanism on the steps, the few of us will not be able to protect them at all. On the contrary, this is still an invisible pressure for us.
But before Mai Lao could speak, Li Xin spoke first, "No, I have to go up. I will not stay."
I turned around to look at her, held her arms with both hands and said, "Now is not the time to show off. There may be many agencies on this step. If you encounter any danger, I won't be able to take care of you at all."
"Loyalty and Yi , I'm not as weak as you think, don't worry, I won't hold you back, I can take care of myself." Li Xin's stubbornness came back again, and no one could stop her once her temper set in.
"Why are you so stubborn? Can't you just listen to me?" I said earnestly, hoping that she would listen to me.
"I have decided, I must go up." Li Xin looked at me and said firmly.
I suddenly felt helpless. I turned to look at Jenny. She looked at me on Martin's back and said, "You don't have to say loyalty, I won't stay."
"Yes, since we are all here, we must go up and see what the wizard in the coffin looks like." While Martin was speaking, he did not forget to look sideways at Jenny, as if to express his position.
"You...are you all crazy? Do you want your life?" I stretched out my hand and pointed at them one by one. This was a critical moment. It was really adding to the chaos.
"Zhongyi, I know you are doing it for our own good, but we have already come here, are there still a few steps left? Even if there is real danger above, we have appointed people, but at present, everything is still It's all your guess, maybe there's no mechanism at all?" Li Xin held my hand and looked at me.
I am really confused. If they were not injured, why would I say such things more? I just hope to ensure their safety. Jiao Badu said that this is the most dangerous place. Although we are safe all the way, the calmer the surface is, the more fearful I am.
Jiao Ba then put his hand on my shoulder and said, "Brother Yi, please don't bother me. If you do this, it will make them disgusted. Since they are not afraid of death, just let them be. "But I'll put the ugly words first. If you encounter any danger and lose your life, don't blame me for not warning you." He meant well. He hoped that this kind of statement would make them retreat, but it's a pity. He did this in vain.
"Don't worry, even if we really die, we won't blame you." Martin said rudely.
But at this time, Lao Shui and Xiao Feng retreated a little, "How about I, the two of us stay."
Martin glared at them angrily and growled, "Old Shui, why are you so timid? "
"Captain, it's not about being afraid. The problem is, we don’t have to risk our lives, right? If there is really an agency above, it will be difficult for me to escape based on my current condition. No, I think Brother Shui and I should stay. "Of the three Malaysians, Tienmen is really the most heroic.
Martin's face turned green with anger. Finally he waved his hand and said, "It's up to you."
"Okay, if you want to stay, you can stay. If you don't want to stay, just come up with me. But I have to remind you that this is the graveyard of dark wizards. There are dangers everywhere. Staying here may not be a way to survive, and going up may not be a way to death." After finishing his words, Mai Lao took the lead and walked up the steps.
Jiao Ba and I also hurriedly followed. Li Xin and Jenny were right behind me. If there was really any danger, I could try to protect them. When Lao Shui and Xiao Feng saw that we were all going up, they Finally decided to follow.
Presumably Mr. Mai’s words played a certain role. Staying down is not necessarily a way to survive. On the contrary, walking up is not necessarily a way to die. The purpose of our coming here is to break this hexagonal formation. .
Mai Laozhen is so calm. I have never seen a man more calm than him. He walks at the front of the crowd, his steps are steady, neither hurried nor slow. This man's psychological quality is simply powerful. It's scary, no matter how chaotic the surroundings are, he can still be as steady as a mountain.
But the rest of us couldn't do it behind him. Everyone was looking left and right, including me, and we all wanted to rush up there with just one step.
Mai Lao turned his head and said, "Don't be so nervous, it's okay."
"Oh, I'm not nervous, I'm just... just afraid that something will suddenly come out." I said something incoherently. In fact, I was nervous, but I just didn't want him to see through it yet.
Mr. Mai said casually, "It's useless to worry. If there was danger, we would have encountered it long ago. Everyone, please relax and don't put so much pressure on yourself."
< br>After listening to Mai Lao's words, the others were somewhat relaxed. , but still can’t compare with Mr. Mai. This old guy seems to have broken away from the realm of ordinary people. We walked along the steps and walked all the way to the top. No accidents happened, and there were no so-called mechanisms. Everything was so peaceful. , so calm it makes people feel weird.
Jenny suddenly relaxed and said, "It's okay, I'm really afraid there will be some mechanism."
Martin turned his head and said to her, don't worry, even if there is a mechanism, as long as I'm here, he will never be hurt. to yours.
Martin’s words brought back a lot of memories for me. I remember I once said this to Jenny in the tomb on the island, but now it sounds as if it is ironic, and there is no time. How long has passed, but unfortunately, he is no longer the same person as he was back then.
"You two are really leisurely. Even at this time, you still don't forget to flirt. Be careful of going too far." Jiao Ba said coldly.
His words made Jenny and Martin very embarrassed. The most helpless thing was that the two of them couldn't reply, and their faces were extremely ugly. I woke up from the memory and didn't want to think about it anymore. Those dispensable things, let those memories become permanent memories.
At the top of the steps, there are indeed six coffins placed. These six coffins are arranged in a hexagonal shape, which is symmetrical to the hexagonal array. And this time, I believe it will definitely not be fake again, because these six coffins , they are all ice coffins, each Every coffin is like crystal, crystal clear, but this ice coffin looks very thick, because I can't see the body inside from the outside. The ice is translucent, and if the coffin is thin, you can see the inside at a glance. corpse.
When all of us saw these six ice coffins, no one was not surprised. This is a wonder. Wooden coffins, crystal coffins, and even copper coffins, these coffins are nothing. It’s so strange, especially the wooden coffins. Even if they are made of golden nanmu, it’s not a big deal. Almost all emperors in ancient China used this kind of golden nanmu coffins. There were so many emperors, so naturally there is nothing surprising. .
Although there are relatively few copper coffins and crystal coffins, some people still use them, but no one except these wizards will use this kind of ice coffin. I didn’t even listen to it. Said.
Li Xin looked at the six ice coffins in front of her in surprise and said, "Oh my god, they are coffins made of ice, so majestic."
What she said is the truth. , this ice coffin is much larger than ordinary coffins, even Zheng He's copper coffin is not as big as this ice coffin, the appearance can not only be described as grand, it can even be said to be very grand, the large translucent coffin , it seems to be emitting air-conditioning, making people afraid to approach it.
"Captain, does this ice coffin contain the wizard?" Lao Shui asked softly.
Martin shook his head and said, "How do I know? You have to ask the hero Jiao Ba about this."
"Martin... the tone of your words is very annoying." I sided Looking at him, his tone just now was obviously mocking Jiao Ba. I didn't want to interrupt, but as soon as I saw his pretentious look, I felt very unhappy.
"I'm telling the truth. Who knows about this? I can only ask Mr. Jiao Ba." Martin looked at me and tilted his head.
"Okay, both of you, please stop talking. Jiao Ba, have you seen this kind of ice coffin before?" Mai Lao asked calmly.
"No, this is the first time I've seen this kind of ice coffin. It's such a weird coffin. These wizards really know how to find a way." Jiao Ba walked to the ice coffin and reached out to touch the top of the ice coffin. For a moment.
Martin asked anxiously at this time, "Mr. Mai, let's burn the coffin quickly so we can get out of here."
I glared at him and cursed softly, "I don't know if you are really stupid or pretending to be stupid. This is an ice coffin. How can you burn it with fire?"
Martin seemed to have realized it. He looked at me and blinked in a daze, " Yes, yes, this ice coffin is It can’t be burned, so what should we do?”
After walking around the ice coffins, Jiao Ba stopped and looked at us and said, “No matter whether the coffins can be burned or not, We all have to open the coffin to verify whether it contains the corpse of the wizard. If it is, we will take the corpse out and burn it directly. If not, everything will have to start from scratch."
"Ah? Start from the beginning, ***, I don't want to go through any more trouble, I can't stand it anymore." Lao Shui cursed in a low voice.
Xiao Feng was also a little depressed, and his face was extremely ugly, "Me too, if I continue like this, I will die."
Chang Shan comforted them both, "Don't be so nervous, Jiao Ba did this , also to ensure that we can leave safely, so we have to open the coffin to verify, "Mr. Mai, what do you think?" "Then let's open the coffin." But just as Mr. Mai finished speaking, several white shadows flew out from above the coffins. The image was very similar to the white shadow I saw in the dark space just now. It was unevenly tall, short, fat and thin, and it felt like a human soul.
