Chapter Eighty-Four: The Land of the Green Dragon

I and the little Taoist priest carried the dying Bajian and the Kushi, and now in this situation, everyone escaped from death, physically and mentally exhausted to a certain extent, I carried Bajian on my back, and the whole person was in a state of confusion. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info little Taoist priest has been hit by the giant snake several times, so the current situation is not good, originally we planned to rest in the Yongdao, but this place is cramped, we must find a spacious place, give Bajian and the library master enough air, by the way to deal with the bursting wounds on their bodies.

I don't know how long I walked in the winding corridor, but I heard the sound of gurgling water again, and I thought it was another mechanism designed in the ancient tomb. But the little Taoist priest said that the sound of the water is beautiful, not like the water gushing out, but more like the water of a waterfall.

I said incredulously, "Yongdao...... How can there be a waterfall in the corridor?"

The little Taoist priest didn't know why, we carried the Kushi and Bajian on our backs, and our eyes were getting brighter and brighter, and the little Taoist priest and I looked at each other, turning a corner with heavy steps, and suddenly, the torches in our hands trembled.

The little Taoist priest glanced at the torch and said, "Atmosphere...... There are vents in the front......"

I lifted Bajian, who had slid down, and panted and said, "It's not just the wind...... And also...... And the light ......."

As we moved on, the sight before us was beyond our expectations, and I closed my eyes and fixed my mind, and when I opened my eyes again, there were many questions mixed in my mind.

This...... Why is there a curtain of water hanging down from the waterfall at the end of the road? Why does it seem to be a forest outside the water curtain? Isn't it the road of the ancient tomb? Why does it seem to come out now? Could it be that we went in the wrong direction from the beginning? This is not the road leading to the tomb at all? No, if this is just an ordinary road, why do we have such an elaborate clay sculpture mechanism, why do we have to block the road with a waterhole? Isn't this an extra move?

I put down Bajian, who was faint like a dead pig, and asked the little Taoist priest to wait for me in the same place, while I went to investigate the situation. Walking to the end of the corridor, it is as if you are in a water curtain cave, and the outside world is especially dreamy through the crystal water splash. In the middle of the water curtain, there are also some emerald colors, and if you look closely, they are actually thick vines.

I grabbed the vine and pulled it, and after making sure it was okay, I dragged it and poked my head out of the water crevice of the waterfall, it was early morning, and a ray of sunlight penetrated through the green trees, hitting the mist, forming a rainbow, the rainbow was mixed with the ethereal snow waves, like a dream, and it had the feeling of a fairyland on earth.

There are many giant trees here, these trees, the branches are lush, in the shape of a dragon, there are kingfishers singing on the trees, the body of the tree is entwined with withered vines, simple and vigorous, and the strange flowers and grass around the trees are abundant and beautiful, which makes people happy. I thought to myself: Is this really Lop Nur? That dull and vast yellow sand land hides such a quiet and tranquil place......

I have seen all the barren desert these days, and now I am intoxicated by such a beautiful scenery, and I was about to go back to tell the little Taoist priest about the situation outside, but I saw something standing in the mist of water.

I've been in a state of high tension lately, but whenever I see something that doesn't move, I think about something evil watching us. But in broad daylight, my fear was halved, and I turned my head to the side and looked into the mist, and there was a dragon statue that hovered in the water, and the dragon's head was facing the sky, in the shape of a soaring dragon, and this dragon statue was very finely carved, and the eyes were blazing, giving people a feeling of not being angry and arrogant.

Seeing the dragon statue, combined with the beautiful scenery of this place, I immediately thought of the green dragon in the four elephants, and it is recorded in "Huainanzi": "The noble of the gods is more precious than the green dragon." "The dragon is the head of the four elephants, and it is also the symbol of the ancient emperors, there is a green dragon statue, which means that we have arrived at the resting place of the king of Loulan speculated by the little Taoist.

Thinking of this, I was excited for a while, and turned back to find the little Taoist, who knew that he was leaning against the wall of the Yongdao, motionless, and the same was true for the Kushi and Bajian beside him. I gasped, fearing that they had been taken away by death, so I approached them uneasily, calling them by name, but without answer...... At this time, despair struck, we crossed the desert, were in distress in Bailongdui, went through hardships, and finally reached the destination, but now the big guys are scattered, dying to death, the situation is tragic, thinking of this beautiful place, in the end only I am left, it is really better to die.

I fell to my knees to feel their breath, and the moment I stretched out my hand, the fear in my heart had reached the limit, and just when I trembled and approached the little Taoist's face, the little Taoist's eyes opened.

I was startled and fell to the ground, and the little Taoist priest looked at my terrifying appearance and said quietly, "What's wrong?"

I smiled awkwardly, sat up, and said, "I thought it was ...... Thought you ...... Dead ......"

When the little Taoist priest heard this, he smiled faintly and said, "Many things have not been done, and I am not willing to die." As he spoke, he turned his gaze outwards and said, "What's going on outside?"

I roughly described it, the little Taoist priest's eyes were deep, and he said: "Yongdao directly sent us to the location where the green dragon is, it seems that the green dragon should be the burial place of the tomb owner, we will go out now and find the location of the dragon heart." ”

I nodded, but looking at the still sleeping Bajian and the Kushi, my heart was extremely worried, the flesh and blood on the two of them were blurred, although the breath had returned a lot now, but the little Taoist and I had been carrying them, there would undoubtedly be bumps, which would make their wounds worse.

Thinking of this, I said to the little Taoist: "Let's go down first, the vegetation here is lush, and I estimate that there are some herbs, let's look for them, can we stop the bleeding for them first, so that they can lie comfortably for a while." Otherwise, they won't be able to bear the bumps in the road, and we won't be able to withstand it. ”

The little Taoist priest agreed with my idea, and we cut down a section of the vine, tied it to Bajian and the Kushi, and then found a place where the water curtain was relatively easy to fall, and went down through the vine.

There is a distance of more than ten meters between the Yongdao pass and the bottom, we do not have any mountaineering equipment to protect, all rely on the strength and mind of the hand, now the weight behind me, my whole person has a sense of falling, and the strength has long been exhausted in the danger again and again.

I bared my teeth, my arms were so sore that I wanted to let go of my hands and fall straight into the water. But Ba Jian's body was full of big and small injuries, and the huge impact would kill him.

The lactic acid in my body has accumulated to a high point, and the little Taoist priest is slower than me, he is already physically and mentally exhausted, and now he is really relying on his spirit to support him.

The curtain of water from the waterfall fell on our faces, seeping into our eyes, so sour that I gritted my teeth and continued to go down, my palms grinding off a layer of skin because of the heavy eating.

When I arrived at the messy rocks at the bottom of the waterfall, I carefully carried the eight guns on my back and stepped on the rocks with a staggering step, and when I reached the ground, I felt like I was in heaven.

The little Taoist priest untied the vines for me, and I knelt on the ground, wheezing for breath, and after a while, I fell to rest on the ground, where there was water, trees, flowers, and food. My stomach was already rumbling with hunger, and I was so hungry that I turned over and said, "No, I have to find some food, I haven't eaten these meals, and I have consumed so much physical strength, and if I don't eat, I will die." ”

The little Taoist priest leaned against the tree and said, "Then I'll look for herbs to stop bleeding nearby, remember not to go too far, such a dense forest, there is food, and naturally there will be wild beasts, the four of us are in this situation now, and we can't afford to toss anymore."
