Chapter 300 The person in the coffin had already awakened.
The lid of the bronze coffin lifted half an inch, and nine lamp flames rolled inward, causing fine ashes to fall from the sky above the stone city.
The fragrance of lotus blossoms wafted from the cracks in the coffin, overpowering the green mist outside the bone walls.
The fake lights enshrined on the nine towers went out one by one, and the bridge surface lost its light path.
The breastplates of the 367 guards inside the tower rose and fell, but their arms, which had stopped moving, remained clasped in place.
The miasma pinned their joints, binding every life's path.
Su Yunqing attached the sensor back to the neck armor of the nearest person.
"The pulse is back; the blood vessels haven't been severed."
"Can it be saved?" Zhao Leiguang asked.
"Don't touch the stone pillars yet." Su Yunqing retracted the sensor. "The coffins are extending their lives and using them as locks."
Nezha walked to the edge of the cavity, holding his Fire-Tipped Spear horizontally in front of him.
The fire pattern on the coffin lid was formed by pressing nine fire wheels, and the starting point of the pattern is consistent with the stone steps of Qianyuan Mountain.
"Master's Fire Sealing Seal".
He tapped the coffin lid with the barrel of his gun.
"Who carved it on the coffin?"
Yang Jian raised his three-pointed, double-edged sword, stopping the blade three feet from the coffin.
"The seal of Qianyuan Mountain is only used to suppress demons, not to subdue living people."
The coffin seam was pushed open a little more, and Lianxiang crossed the line.
The nine chains above the cavity began to turn, their iron rings interlocking, and the sound echoed along the stone city.
Nezha lowered the tip of his spear, and the Fire-Tipped Spear pierced the nearest chain node.
The flames traveled along the iron chain towards the coffin, and when they reached the third ring, the path turned northwards towards the earth's veins.
On the tactical map, the crack in the Beast Cave widened by two meters.
A beastly roar echoed from deep underground, shattering the bugle calls of the vanguard of three hundred men, and prompting a series of emergency signals from the engineering battalion.
"It uses chains as flow channels."
Wen Yue projected the terminal in front of everyone.
"Nezha's divinity has been completely sent to the Cave of Ten Thousand Beasts."
Nezha put away his spear, but the spearhead was still caught in the iron ring.
The Qiankun Ring flew out and crashed into the node. The chain sank down with the force of the impact, and another layer of rock fell from the crack on the north side.
Zhao Leiguang held the edge of the cavity.
"This thing has no sportsmanship; it gets beaten up and still sends supplies to the outside."
"Say less and keep the shield down," Lu Yan said.
Zhao Leiguang and Shen Xinglin guarded the two sides respectively.
The two shields were pressed against the left corner of the giant coffin, and the lance transformed into a six-section support rod, which was inserted into the load-bearing groove at the bottom of the coffin.
Yang Jian circled around to the right and used his three-pointed, double-edged sword to cut along the base of the chain.
The blade sliced through the military pattern, and the first chain broke in two.
The broken chain did not fall to the ground; instead, a charred hand emerged from the coffin, its five fingers gripping the handle of a knife.
Yang Jian pulled his arm back, but the blade remained motionless.
The back of the hand was covered with burn marks, and silver crystals were embedded between the wrist bones, reflecting the nine towers.
The voice of Taiyi Zhenren came from inside the coffin.
"Nezha, kneel down."
"Receive the Nine Lotus Lanterns."
Nezha stood still, and the Hun Tian Ling flew out from his waist, bypassed the chains, and wrapped around the edge of the coffin lid.
"When I was receiving weapons at Qianyuan Mountain, my master never made me kneel."
"You borrowed the wrong memories."
Laughter came from inside the coffin.
First came the voice of Taiyi Zhenren, then it changed to the voices of the old man who guards the palace, Qin Zheng, Li Hang, and dozens of strangers.
"Child, rules always need to change."
"Qin Wuyi, bring me your military identification tags."
Qin Wuyi fastened the canvas bag tightly.
The dog license plate was pressed against his chest, its heat radiating through his armor.
The blood Qin Zheng left in front of the seventh gate still echoes in response to this coffin.
He didn't take a step, but simply pressed the main plate into the ground.
The cavity is locked in sixteen directions, and the array plate reports a coordinate shift for every minute the coffin lid is pushed forward.
"It's matching military license plates."
Qin Wuyi reported the data.
"The access chain to the door is hidden inside the coffin."
Lu Yan unfolded the Black Lotus Pure Land.
The dark patterns avoided the miasma beneath the guard's feet, pressing only against the giant coffin and the nine chains.
The sound from inside the coffin simultaneously stopped.
Silver chips were exposed from the wounds on the charred palm. Beneath the chips, there was no flesh or blood, only densely packed spiral codes.
The Void Disk breaks down code into data streams.
Lightbearer: A creation with the authority to move the sanctuary.
Duties: To determine the identity of the deity, inscribe the lamp master's mark, and guide the lamp holder to activate the ley line nodes.
Lin Chuxue raised her staff.
"Turns out he was issuing fake certificates."
Wen Yue loaded a high-explosive arrow into the crossbow.
"Issuing certificates and binding people, they've got a pretty comprehensive business."
The lamp bearer loosened the three-pointed, double-edged sword.
The charred hand retracted into the coffin, and a lotus-shaped lamp wick rolled out from the coffin crevice.
The wick was only the length of a thumb, covered with dried flower petals. Before the flame was lit, nine layers of interwoven gold threads were hidden inside.
"The Nine Lotus Lantern is already inside the Beast King's belly."
"The wick can wake it up."
"Take the wick, and the Beast King will make way for you."
Lu Yan did not answer.
The Void Disc swept across the lamp wick from a distance, and the end of the golden thread crossed the Kunlun earth veins, directly connecting to the underground armory of Chang'an.
The sixteen locks of the seventh gate are rotating in the same rhythm.
"The door will be pushed open once the light is turned on," Lu Yan said.
Qin Wuyi took out Qin Zheng's military badge and held it close to the lamp wick.
The bloodstains on the back of the dog tag left the engraving and crawled toward the lotus-shaped lamp wick.
The gold wire inside the lamp wick lit up halfway.
The projection of the seventh gate of Chang'an was hung above the cavity, and in front of the bronze gate, sixteen array ropes were passing through Qin Zheng's shoulders and back.
Qin Zheng held the northwest stone slab, which pressed slightly into the doorway.
Qin Wuyi's hand froze in mid-air.
His array was still running, but two new red lines appeared on the edge of the main array.
A path leads into the belly of the Beast King.
Another crack in the door leading to the seventh door.
The silver-masked man did not place the two battlefields side by side; instead, he cut the same key in two and forced the key holder to put it back together.
Lu Yan stepped on the gold thread around the wick of the lamp.
"That's why it's in a hurry for us to turn on the lights."
The lamp-bearer's voice was replaced by that of Taiyi Zhenren.
"If Chang'an Gate opens, Qin Zheng can live."
"When the Kunlun lamp goes out, all beasts emerge from their dens."
"You have to choose one of them."
Zhao Leiguang peeked half his head out from behind the shield.
"They even give people multiple-choice questions, but the person who sets the questions has to get past me first."
"Warm Moon, a turning point."
"Report it to me."
Yang Jian slashed through the second chain with his sword.
Xiao Qianyu stepped onto the path, her battle halberd slicing through the nine loops of the stone city behind the coffin.
Wen Yue's rangefinding arrows landed one after another at the intersection of the chains.
She gave nine directions, the last one stopping under the coffin lid.
"The ninth node connects to the wick; don't damage it."
"receive."
The high-explosive arrow passed through Qin Wuyi's fixed trajectory and pierced the first loop.
The chains deviated from their original angle, and the crack in the northern ley line stopped expanding.
Zhao Lei charged forward with his shields on his head, and the two shields slammed into the coffin.
Shen Xinglin modified the lance into a locking bar, hooked it onto the inside of the coffin lid, and pressed the giant coffin back into the bottom of the cavity.
"Old Shen, keep it steady."
"Don't put yourself on the list of those who will be buried alive with you."
Lin Chuxue attached the exposed silver lines of the Blood Explosion Magic Array.
The first spell landed, the lines twisted, and the lampbearer used the life loop of the guardian to deflect the impact.
Su Yunqing was prepared, and the gift of Yaoguang was not aimed at the wounded.
She placed the shield around the guard, leaving a half-inch gap between the shield and the miasma.
The silver line has lost its available passage.
Lin Chuxue unleashed her second round of magic, burning the wiring at the base of the nine empty towers to black ash.
Xiao Qianyu fell from behind the coffin, and the Dragon King's Halberd severed the last three connections.
The nine towers swayed simultaneously, and the fake lotus patterns at the base of the towers gradually faded away.
The lamp bearer's hand patted the edge of the coffin, and silver crystals spread along his arm.
It tried to pounce on the lamp wick, but the Qiankun Dingjie (a system of demarcation and control) first locked its starting coordinates.
Qin Wuyi gripped the main plate, placing the military token on the key point of the formation.
"You can't leave."
The lamp bearer crashed into the line of fire, his body being sliced into several projectiles.
Each segment is reporting the coordinates of Chang'an in different directions, attempting to overload the main disk.
Qin Wuyi did not pursue the coordinates.
He removed the twelve array plates from the outer ring, leaving only the giant coffin, the lamp wick, and the area where the guards were located.
The formation's range has shrunk, and the coordinates have returned to one point.
"This area is under my jurisdiction."
Lu Yan walked to the lamp wick, and the Void Disc peeled away the nine layers of gold threads one by one.
The terminal of the permission chain was originally locked in the Mobile Sanctuary, but he pulled it into the main disk of the Qiankun Realm.
The person giving the lamp stopped struggling.
Lu Yan did not destroy the lamp wick.
If the lamp wick is destroyed, the Nine Lotus Treasure Lamp inside the Beast King's belly will lose its awakening medium, and Qin Zheng outside Chang'an Gate will also be devoured by the authority chain.
The more troublesome part comes later.
The enemy only needs to create one more wick to reconnect the Kunlun ley lines to the Seventh Gate.
Lu Yan placed the Void Disc over the main disc.
"Reverse write to the receiving end".
Qin Wuyi looked up.
"Where to?"
"I'll pick you up here."
The thirty-six array plates lit up again.
The gold thread enters the main plate from the lamp wick, branches along the sixteen directions, first passes through the Qiankun boundary, and then goes through the broken lotus pattern fire paths in various parts of Kunlun.
The gray-green miasma on the north side of the earth vein was pressed back into the fissure by the gold lines.
The engineering battalion's signal was restored, and the crack in the Beast Cave stopped sinking.
Inside the nine towers, the miasma nails on the guard joints have fallen off.
They maintained their old stance of holding spears, and their breathing beneath their breastplates was now even.
Yang Jian sheathed his three-pointed double-edged sword.
Half of the Qian Yuan Mountain Fire Seal remains where the knife handle was gripped by a charred hand.
"From now on, the lights of Kunlun will enter the battle first, and then spread outwards," Lu Yan said.
"Anyone who wants to turn on the lights must first get past Qin Wuyi's territory."
Qin Wuyi looked down at the main trading board.
The bloodstains on the dog tag receded to the characters "Qin Zheng," and the door crack in the Chang'an projection stopped.
It just stopped, but didn't close.
The lamp bearer was pressed back into the coffin by the black lotus pattern, and the silver crystals peeled off piece by piece.
Its voice lost its disguise and became a dry, synthesized sound.
"The Beast King is not waiting for the lamp."
"It has already been given the insignia of the first squad."
The black lotus continued to gather.
The person who gave the lamp uttered one last sentence.
"It's waiting for the seventh knife to come home."
The silver crystals inside the coffin turned into ash.
The Chang'an projection above the cavity went out, leaving only the Qin Zheng military badge still affixed to the center of the main plate.
Nezha retrieved his Hun Tian Ling and kicked the giant coffin.
"What should we do with this coffin?"
Zhao Leiguang stood up, supporting himself with the shield.
"Bury it, don't leave it for the logistics department to use as a storage locker."
Wen Yue put away the crossbow.
"Logistics support might not be up to par, and there's a potential electrical leak."
Yang Jian looked up into the depths of the stone city.
The roar of a beast came through layers of bone walls, and the old bugle call, which had three long and two short notes, was interrupted by another set of footsteps.
Lu Yan put away the lamp wick.
"Go find the Beast King."
"By the way, ask it who gave it the team badge."
