Chapter 15: The Corpse Sinks in the River
Are my legs so good? Another leg puller!
Although this was the second time this had happened, my heart was still beating wildly with fear, and I couldn't help but think of the green-haired monster disguised as Song Yi again. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
I didn't have time to resist, I was violently dragged down more than a meter deep, taking advantage of the dim water light, almost scared me half to death, vaguely I saw a fat face coming towards me, an unknown long thing inserted in his mouth, like a monster with a human face and a cormorant mouth!
I was about to struggle, but Yang Juan in my arms patted me on the shoulder and waved at me.
At this time, the fat-faced monster suddenly let go of me and handed me two long things to Yang Juan, and I saw clearly that this fat-faced monster was Da Ge, but it was only because he was holding this thing in his mouth, and his face looked a little deformed under the dim water, so I misunderstood.
He gestured for me to take it in my mouth like he did, and we did so, taking one end in our mouth, and the other reaching out of the water, and we were able to breathe normally, but it was a bit laborious to inhale through such a long plastic tube.
I pointed to it, and shook his hand at me, and then swiped his palm around his neck, and I nodded, and understood what he meant, he was saying that it was dangerous up there, and now he would go up and die.
Maybe those phantom butterflies followed us and didn't notice us, so they returned to their nests, right? I tried to imagine the bright side and calm my panic.
Since last night's barbecue stand incident with my father, my life has changed dramatically, I actually entered an ancient tomb by chance, and I have brushed shoulders with death again and again, from the beginning of the ancient tomb full of mystery and novelty to feel full of awe now, but it is only a few hours.
Except for the dragon panyue buckle in Yang Juan's hand that may provide me with clues to my grandfather's disappearance, I don't want the rest of the things anymore, such as exploring the magic of the ancient tomb, such as finding the treasure left in the ancient tomb, or the white seal that Yang Juan said, these things will still choose the latter compared to life, no matter what, what I want to do now is to escape from the ancient tomb, and then find Song Yi's kid, speaking of Song Yi, I feel very uneasy in my heart, after so long, I don't know if he is dead or alive.
The water was very quiet, and I could only hear the sound of a few people spitting bubbles when they were ventilating, I looked at Yang Juan, who seemed to be thinking about something, while Da Ge took out a sharp small scimitar from his waist and played slowly underwater, seemingly not worried about what was happening above.
At this moment, I suddenly felt something strange under my feet, and when I looked closely in the dim water with wide eyes, it was actually an arm-thick iron chain lying under my feet.
I stepped on it with my foot and found that it was unmoved, so I simply hooked it with my foot so that I wouldn't have to paddle to keep my balance.
These little movements of mine caught the attention of, and he also probed with his foot, and then hooked his foot as I did, and gave me a thumbs up.
At this moment, Yang Juan suddenly patted the shoulders of the two of us and pointed her finger at the top of our heads.
We looked up together, only to see round things floating above our heads, and because they blocked the light, the water was already a little dim, and it was even more difficult to see.
's gesture to us paused, then pointed to himself and then to the top, and when we nodded understandingly, he stretched out his foot and kicked on the chain, and his body slowly floated upward.
He held the little scimitar in his hand, and cautiously approached the round thing that was slowly drifting by, and suddenly, he quickly paddled and sank, and his nose squirted bubbles out rapidly, and from that frightened look in his eyes, it seemed that something terrible had happened.
As soon as he sank beside us, I heard a muffled "buzz" sound, and the chains trembled violently, and the soles of my feet hurt.
A black curtain wall 'pushes' from the side, bringing up an undercurrent that swells wildly, and we are unconsciously pushed to the other side by the water.
The chains under his feet danced wildly at this time, and the amplitude became larger and larger, and if he was accidentally pulled by it, he would not die or be disabled.
Yang Juan pointed upward, Da Ge shook his head, and then nodded again. Yang Juan quickly went upstream, and Da Ge and I also hurriedly followed, the farther away from the crazy chain, the better.
As we approached the water, the black curtain wall passed by the soles of our feet, a huge black coffin, one end of which was being dragged by an iron chain, which was tense and sometimes loose as it advanced, as if an invisible force was pulling wildly at the other end of the chain.
The waves carried us around in the water, and the spherical objects rose and fell around us, but because the waves were so big, I couldn't see what they were. I felt something hit the back of my head, I thought it was Yang Juan, but when I looked back, I was so frightened that I stopped breathing.
I saw a human head face to face with me, its sallow skin shining in the water, its eyes wide open, its eyeballs as gray and white as dead fish eyes, and its nose and mouth seemed to be blocked by some white object.
I was so frightened that I nervously slapped it away, and I couldn't care about the ghost moths on the water anymore, so I scraped the water and rushed out of the water, so I didn't choke on the water.
I gasped for a few breaths and climbed up to shore in horror, I'd rather fight those ghost moths than stay with those dead heads for a second longer.
At this time, Yang Juan and Da Ge also surfaced and climbed ashore with me.
The place was obviously a burial chamber as well, and the empty burial chamber was also very bright, which relieved me, a darkphobic person. Thinking of the scene when the phantom butterfly appeared, I quickly looked up at the top of the tomb, but I didn't see any uneven foreign objects, I thought to myself, it seems that this tomb is quite safe except for the water.
"Get down!" Yang Juan and I were suddenly pulled by Da Ge's arms, and the two of them quickly lay down beside him.
He made a silent gesture and pointed to a corner of the chamber.
I saw a huge toad squatting in the corner of the tomb wall, looking at the tomb ceiling with reflective eyes and turning left and right, I looked along the tomb wall, only to see a black pressure of a phantom butterfly fluttering its wings above its head, and from time to time a few swooped down, obviously attacking the toad. The toad reacted very quickly, its head didn't move, its mouth opened, and a curly tongue nearly three meters long suddenly straightened, and then rolled up, and the phantom butterfly that attacked it was swept into its mouth.
It is not an exaggeration to say that it is huge, its body is the size of an adult cow, and it squats in the corner, like a small mountain, which is very impressive.
I don't know whether to cry or laugh, what kind of stuff is this TM, first I met a perverted ghost moth, and now there is a mountain bag-like toad, is it possible that the food here is very good?
As the so-called one thing descends one thing, the ghost moth that wants to kill people was lowered by the toad, and the toad has become a threat to us again, and it really can't run away when the time comes, it is so fast, the tongue is so long, there is no chance to escape.
Just when I was worried about the road ahead, Da Ge whispered to himself: "Lao Tzu has entered no less than five princely tombs, this is the first time I have encountered such a perverted animal, this toad is too big!" β
Yang Juan squinted her beautiful eyes and observed for a while, and said in a low voice: "It is the Toad King, the king of toads." β
"King Toad?" Da Ge was a little confused, "The toad still has the king?" β
Yang Juan nodded and said: "I also listened to what my grandfather said, the toad king is the largest toad, and the poison is also the strongest, but the toad king generally lives in the tropics, and the size is not so big." β
Thinking that the animals inside are dozens or even hundreds of times larger than those outside the tomb, I can't help but suspect that it is the influence of the environment, what is the difference between this underground cave and the outside? It's a little wetter, and then there's a light source that hasn't been extinguished for thousands of years, and the light source is ...... That's right, it's the light source!
I immediately put my thoughts out: "This closed environment is placed in the perennial luminous meteorite, this meteorite is the strongest radiation, and anything that lives in this environment all year round will mutate in its genes, just like a scientist puts a seed in space to breed, and then it is like a huge pepper in space." Speaking of this, I thought of another possibility, so I continued: "Speaking of toads and space, I can't help but think of an ancient poem, perhaps the ancients have already discovered the mystery in it. β
Dage seemed to like listening to the story, and asked with interest, "What ancient poem?" β
I didn't sell it either, and said: "'The shadow of the shark room has tears, and the wind in the toad palace scatters the fragrance of cinnamon. ββ
"Isn't this a poem by the Jin Dynasty poet Li Junmin? This is a poem written to bless the people of the world during the Mid-Autumn Festival, how can it have anything to do with here? Yang Juan asked with some puzzlement.
I didn't expect her to actually read this poem, and I couldn't help but ask: "If you don't understand it according to the meaning of the translation of later generations, why don't you try to translate it literally?" β
She waved her hand and said, "I'm not good at this, so you should come." β
Seeing that we were a little carried away, Da Ge hurriedly reminded: "Hey, be quiet, don't surprise that master." β
I nodded, and said in a low voice: "The shark refers to the shark, and the room refers to a certain place like the room. Toad has no other meaning in ancient times, it refers to the toad, the palace and the room are the same reason, but the toad is a kind of Rui beast in ancient times, and the four major Rui beasts such as the unicorn Pixiu are equally famous, but the former is the patron saint of the dark, so some tombs will place toad statues to town the tomb, and the second latter is the patron saint of light, and their statues are generally used to protect the yang house. So, the meaning of the second sentence is self-evident. β
"Seems to make sense!" Da Ge pondered and nodded: "Maybe this poem was written by the poet in the Mid-Autumn Festival to commemorate his deceased friends or relatives, but later generations misinterpreted its meaning and complicated it." β
Just as he was saying this, there was a sound of waves behind him, and the three of us turned around together, only to see a black dorsal fin approaching the shore with the waves, and Da Ge glared at the bull's eye and asked, "What the hell is that?" β
I pondered and said: "It is said in the book that in order to restrain and deter outsiders, the pattern will be planned into two poles, yin and yang, the yang side is the Rui Beast Toad King, and the yin side is the fierce beast ......"
"Shark!"
The three of us screamed in unison.
