Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Dragon's Shape Resembles
What's more, what surprised me even more was that the palm-sized stones were still yellow.
Don't say I don't know about it, it's the first time I've seen it.
No, to be precise, it shouldn't be yellow, it should be dark yellow.
But no matter what kind of yellow it is, I've never seen it.
"It's beeswax!"
Uncle Cheng's voice sounded faintly behind me, this voice was low, and it almost scared me to death.
Although I was frightened by Uncle Cheng's voice coming from behind me, Uncle Cheng also helped me name the dark yellow stone, didn't he?
Beeswax?
I've heard the name, but I've never seen it, I just know that this kind of thing seems to be called a literary game, something that only rich people can play.
But why did the tomb owner place a beeswax on each black stone step?
Two swishing winds sounded behind him, and Gou Xilai and Gu Yicheng also jumped to the first step of this stone step one after another.
The five of us were all together, and in front of us was a winding black stone staircase.
Gou Xilai walked up to me and bent down to take a closer look at the first beeswax placed on the steps below our feet.
This first beeswax was half the size of my palm, and it was also in the shape of an irregular diamond, which at first glance looked a bit like fish scales.
"The moire is smart, bright and full, this is the best of the best. ”
Gou Xi looked at the beeswax in the shape of fish scales on the steps, and said in an excited voice.
Although I don't know how to play this article, but what can make Gou Xilai praise so much must be very valuable.
"Beeswax like this, if you get it to an antique shop, this one can be sold for at least 10,000 yuan. ”
Before I could ask, the price had already been quoted.
Ten thousand!
Hearing this number, my heart couldn't help but pound.
The black stone staircase winds so far that you can't even see the end, and there is such a beeswax on each staircase, how much would it sell if you took it all out!
Looking at the almost uncountable beeswax in front of me, my eyes couldn't help but shine brightly.
"Miss Qin, is this just that the nobles of the Northern Yan are able to climb the dragon ladder of the afterlife after death?"
Under the stars in my eyes, I heard Gu Yicheng's voice.
It was also Gu Yicheng's words that pulled me back from the heart of the money obsession.
"Hmm!"
Qin Yue stood beside me and just said a hum word.
"This tomb owner has really taken great pains to be able to transform into a dragon and ascend to heaven after death. ”
Qin Yue looked at the winding black stone staircase in front of him, and also said this sentence in a tone that didn't know whether it was praise or sarcasm.
After Qin Yue said this, he stepped down the steps and walked forward.
When Qin Yue stepped into the second step, I could clearly see that Qin Yue did not touch the beeswax placed on the stone steps.
Uncle Cheng pushed me and motioned for me to follow Qin Yue, and I also stepped down the steps without politeness.
Qin Yue was in the front, Uncle Cheng and Gu Yicheng were in the middle, and Gou Xilai continued to work in the back row.
The five of us walked down the winding black stone staircase.
I have to say that the construction of this black stone staircase is really beyond my cognition, in the Tang Dynasty, there were already such ingenious craftsmen?
This is a circular staircase, and the interface of each ring also presents a natural feeling between the interfaces.
Walking on this circular staircase is like descending a mountain.
The further down I went, the more I could feel a rich, damp dampness.
The bottomless circular stone staircase, and the only sound of the footsteps of the five of us could be heard.
I don't know how long we've walked, but all I can see is a black staircase.
W-how long is this going to be? How many meters have we descended?
I felt in my heart that it was at least thirty meters long.
However, there is still no end in sight.
After turning a 90-degree circular ladder again, a kind of impatience began to rise in my heart inexplicably.
There were several times when I couldn't help but want to ask Qin Yue in front of me, but when the words came to my mouth, I swallowed them back again and again.
Why don't you ask? Because Qin Yue's back was so calm, so calm that I began to slowly quiet down in this impatience.
Quiet, follow Qin Yue's footsteps, and continue to bury his head forward.
After turning a ring ladder again, Qin Yue's footsteps finally stopped.
Qin Yue stopped and turned to her right hand.
"Here it is. ”
I saw Qin Yue stretch out his hand and point in front of her.
What do you mean? What do you mean here?
I looked in the direction of Qin Yue's finger, but I didn't see anything, it was dark and hazy, like a bottomless abyss.
"This is the escape gate of one of the nine escapes, the dragon escape, and by jumping from here, we will be able to enter the main hall of this tomb master. ”
Hearing Qin Yue's words again, I felt that my brain was a little messy, and I couldn't keep up with Qin Yue's rhythm anymore?
Jumping? Jumping in the direction of her fingers?
Although I think so in my heart, I also know that I am a layman, and Qin Yue dares to swear so surely, and there must be her reason.
Jump and jump, they've already come here anyway, and I'm not jumping alone anyway.
I am ready to go to righteousness bravely, just waiting for Qin Yue's order.
However, after Qin Yue finished speaking, and the road was pointed out, he turned to look at me again.
What does this mean? What is this going on?
"The dragon is a kind of mythical beast imagined by the ancients in ancient times, no matter how the sun and the moon change, how the times change, this dragon-like image, but it is eternal and unchanged. ”
In the records of the ancients, the dragon has nine likenesses, its horns are like a deer, its head is like a camel, its eyes are like a rabbit, its neck is like a snake, its belly is like a mirage, its scales are like a fish, its claws are like an eagle, its palms are like a tiger, and its ears are like a cow. ”
Qin Yue looked at me and said to me in a tone that a teacher teaches a student.
"On each step of this dragon ladder is placed a fish scale beeswax, which is the dragon body built by the tomb owner. ”
"According to the technique of the Nine Palaces, it is similar to the dragon-shaped nine, and the two are multiplied, and its number is eighty-one. We are now standing on the first step of the eighty-first bend, which is called the Dragon's Head Gate in our row. As long as we jump from the dragon's head, we can enter the dragon palace of this tomb owner. ”
I looked at Qin Yue standing in front of me, and my mouth couldn't close.
Qin Yue could have told me in such detail, but she chose to tell me why she jumped from here.
This is-this is what Qin Yue is really teaching me.
An inexplicable feeling rose in my heart, in this damp and dark environment, I actually felt that my whole body was warm.
She didn't see me as a dispensable, she saw me as her companion.
"Zhang Bing, just like last time, estimate the distance of nine steps in your mind, and then jump down from where I am standing, remember, this time if the distance you estimate in your mind is wrong, then you will really jump into the abyss. ”
Qin Yue looked at me and said this to me again in a solemn tone.
When I heard Qin Yue's words, the warm current in my heart also turned into a cold current.
My whole body also shook involuntarily with Qin Yue's words.
After Qin Yue said this to me, he looked at Uncle Cheng and the others behind me.
Uncle Cheng, Gu Yicheng, and Gou Xilai also walked past me under Qin Yue's gaze.
I saw Qin Yue leave the place where she was standing, and I also saw that Gou Xilai had taken Qin Yue's place.
Jump!
This Gou Xilai didn't even do any preparations, so he jumped down the steps with a bang, and then Gu Yicheng and Uncle Cheng, these two also jumped down the steps in a daze under my stunned eyes.
This- I was dumbfounded, dumbfounded and at the same time gave a thumbs up to Gou Xilai and the three of them.
"Zhang Bing!"
I don't need Qin Yue to call me, I also know it's my turn.
The reason why Qin Yue didn't jump first is probably because he was afraid that I would have an accident so that I could rescue him.
