Chapter 18: The Cave Shark's Belly
This is quite similar to the plot in the opera, Lu Yueming knows that his current situation is too similar to the characters in many plays, some of them are said to be the famous Tang Dynasty general Cheng Biting Jin, and some are said to be various fictional characters. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć But these characters tend to eat a big meal of beef and drink a lot of wine before they set off. He simply asked for this. But fortunately, those people seemed to think that he should be given a full meal if he was sent to death, so they were really satisfied. And because the Northern Yuan army was coming, a lot of meat was cooked in the village to strengthen morale, which really made him full.
Then he desperately squeezed into a basket, and let the others hang themselves into the deep pit, when the weather was still cold, but especially in the cave, it was like the harsh winter on the grassland, and he sat in the basket, only resigned himself to fate, and had a feeling in his heart, as if he was being sent into the mouth of a giant beast.
After a while, he finally felt that his body had touched the bottom, and he also felt the strength weakening above, knowing that it was at the bottom, and he would no longer let go. He stepped out of the basket and lit the torch, only to see a large hole in front of him, into which he could only enter.
In fact, the Mongolian steppe, even the city is rarely seen, such a big hole is really unreasonable, which also makes everything extraordinarily weird. It is not clear whether the whole cavern was dug by hand or formed naturally, the only certainty is that it goes all the way down, and I don't know what kind of hell it leads to. But apart from his normal fear, he didn't feel any particular discomfort, and perhaps his senses weren't as sensitive as those of a beast, so that he was in danger and didn't know it. Anyway, he simply thought about what trick he had hit, and since then he would sleep in this tunnel forever, thinking about it, his heart has calmed down a lot.
When I walked further, I suddenly came to an open hall, and at the other end of the hall was a deep pit, and a huge hole in the wall of the hall stretched across the entire flat ground and the deep pit. The big hole was so frightened that his hairs stood on end, for the upper and lower sides of the hole were covered with huge teeth, which looked like they were real in color, and the teeth were triangular, each the size of a city gate. Needless to say, it was the nightmare that haunted him every day, the ghost shark of Chenghuang Island.
Lu Yueming has long heard that sharks are cartilage, and after death, they often rot along with the bones, and only the teeth can be preserved. At this time, these teeth were arranged around the cave, and the whole cave entrance was a huge shark mouth, and he couldn't help but weaken his legs, sat on the ground, laughed desolately, and said to the cave: "I know, you still won't let me go, right?" It's already here, and I can't avoid it.
Forget it, I'm coming. ā
As he spoke, he forcibly stood up and drew his great sword from his waist, and there was a step at the edge of the pit that allowed him to go down. He didn't run away either, he walked down the steps one step at a time, and then walked through the big teeth and into it.
The next cave wall, showing an unusually strange shape, as if it was the giant mouth of a shark, he endured fear, his eyes were dilated, step by step to walk in, as if walking for a day and a night, until the end of the cave, a two-step stone platform appeared in front of him, the first step on the stone platform, there is a dragon stone statue, according to the ground about half a person high, the second level of the stone platform, is about a person high.
The most terrifying thing is that around the stone platform, there are several standing humanoid things, which look thin and covered with hair. This reminded him of the folk story of Zhiwei, which mentions that when people die and become zombies, they are full of hair. And those things are very thin, and they are like the state of a person after death.
In the middle of those hairy corpses, there was a lying dry corpse, which was hairless and looked like an ordinary person, which suddenly made him feel more intimate. He hesitated to go over and take a look, what if it did, and those things that looked like zombies got into trouble? He thought for a while, and suddenly it occurred to him that there was that Amasi Mao people on this grassland, maybe these hairy ones were just the dried corpses of the Mao people, and they were harmless?
But how can you be sure that it is? Or how can you be sure that the hairy people will not cheat the corpse? Or is that the hairy man actually a zombie? He took two big breaths, and finally decided to go forward to find out, and was ready for those few things to suddenly attack and die on the spot.
He first looked at the dry corpses standing, carefully looked at their faces, and felt that they really didn't look like human bones, and then looked carefully at the bodies, which didn't look like them, and they were all standing still, so it was estimated that there was no danger. He walked into the dry corpse on the ground again.
The dried corpse had no clothes and was bareheaded, he looked carefully, and he couldn't recognize the men, women, and children, only saw a big hole in its chest, could it be that this dried corpse also had blood ginseng in it? He thought as he bent down and put his hand into his chest to probe, only to feel empty.
At this moment, there was a sudden click, and he was scared in this environment, only to see that the stone dragon above fell down, and the speed of the fall was unusually fast, he couldn't dodge it at all, he only subconsciously used his hand to support, and the whole stone dragon was held by her.
He only felt that the weight of this stone dragon could reach a thousand catties, and he used all his strength, but he could only try his best to prevent it from knocking him down.
He felt that if he threw this stone dragon on the ground at this time, then his waist would probably flash immediately, and he would not be able to smash himself. Even if you don't hit it, I'm afraid that you will fall into the root of the disease in the future, and most of your martial arts will be wasted. There is only one way, and that is to bring this dragon back up.
So his heart was horizontal, his dantian was lucky, and he used his twelve success forces to push this stone dragon up, and if he didn't fix this dragon before exhausting his strength, then he would only be crushed to death. He pushed the stone dragon up the steps, but found that the steps couldn't be put up at all, which made him sweat profusely. With another stroke of luck, he raised the stone dragon one step higher, directly to the top of the stone platform.
He stretched out his arms, kicked down with all his might, and forced the dragon on the top of the stone platform, and then he suddenly collapsed to the ground, lying side by side with the dry corpse, he gasped, looked at the stone dragon that had been stable, and said with a smile: "Brother Long, are you asking me to help you up?" He suddenly thought that the dragon was the Ninety-Five, which meant that he was destined to assist a generation of kings and landlords to ascend the throne? It's a bit of a joke.
He looked around blankly, feeling that the cave in it was a little thin, if the hole just now was a shark's belly, it seemed to be a shark's tail. By the way, he suddenly remembered what the shark man had said to himself, from the valley road, three clumps of grass...... It is possible to escape from Ascension.
So he got up, looked carefully into the corner, and found three clumps of grass, and when he found the third clump, he found that there were five holes in the stone in the ground, which could be extended into five fingers. He put his hand down, lifted it hard, only to hear a sound, the boulder was lifted up easily, and a hole was exposed underneath, he approached the torch, and found that the torch was shaking, obviously there was wind in it, and it must be able to lead to the outside world.
He was glad that he would be able to escape, and he had just tried to uncover the stone, and he got into it and escaped. But after thinking about it, he carefully put the stone back again, and carefully covered up all the traces. Can't just run away, he thought to himself. Then turn around and walk out.
After a long time, he appeared here again, only this time he was still leading Tao Wuxing, Zhao Yihu and several people in the village, Lu Yueming pointed to the front and said, "Look, the hole is gone here."
Tao Wuxian looked at it and said, "It seems that this cave is indeed here." ā
Zhao Yihu said with a smile: "Come on, now the cave is here, and you can't run if you want to." ā
Tao Wuxing ignored him, looked at those dried corpses for a long time, and couldn't help but be surprised. He looked at the stone dragon again and sighed: "This place is full of zombies, and if you become the Ninety-Five, they will praise you, but they themselves have lost their souls and degenerated into the walking dead." And you sit back and enjoy wealth, and you will always have an end of the day. After that, he drew his sword and slashed at the stone dragon, but he only heard a click, which was originally a sword that broke stones and divided gold, but it was actually broken in two by the stone. I don't know what kind of strange stone it is made of.
Tao Wuxing sighed, turned around and left with everyone, Lu Yueming suddenly felt a little uneasy, he felt that this guy's eyes were staring at the three bushes of grass, which really made him uneasy. This secret passage must not be known to others.
The matter of the secret passage was temporarily over, and Lu Yueming stood with everyone again, listening to that Zhao Yihu explain the strategy.
Zhao Yihu shouted: "Everyone, this is on the mountain, the Yuan people are good at horse warfare, and there is no way to show it here." So they can only fight on foot. Here we are superior to them. I have seen the military formation of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and all they took were spears of Zhangba, or even longer, everyone was mixed with the rivers and lakes, and they all knew that such a long spear could not be used at all. They could only get together, all their spears held forward, very stupid. One person is holding such a long spear, he is completely inflexible, and he does not understand the mystery of our Central Plains art of war at all. We, the sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes, are the best at eighteen kinds of martial arts. As long as they find a way to restrain themselves, they will have to let us slaughter. ā
Now everyone applauded, Lu Yueming pretended to applaud, but he helplessly thought in his heart, you kid, after reading what Father-in-law Yao wrote, it turns out that you picked up the sensational place to see.
Zhao Yihu said again: "The Yuan people are still white, the white is gold, and the fire is gold." Gongsun Zhangmen, you lead your Shenhuo Gate, all wear red clothes and red scarves, make fifty fire dragon cars, put red flags, and rush down when the Yuan army goes up the mountain, and scatter them first. The head of the Gongsun family gladly accepted the order.
Zhao Yihu said again: "An Daochang, your 'Twenty-Eight Su Sword Formation' is the most dexterous, and when the Yuan people are in chaos, you will wander in front of the formation and attract the attention of the Yuan soldiers." Gu gang leader, cold gang leader, one of you has the 'Thirteen Lotus Array', a variety of weapons to complement each other's strengths, and the other has the 'Golden Lion Array' is the best at melee, you kill from the left wing, the Yuan people spear is entered, and there will be chaos in every inch. Master Ruan, your one hundred and twenty swordsmen are also at this time......"
Lu Yueming listened to these arrangements, and was silent on the surface, but his heart was almost cold.
