Chapter 18: The Serpent King I
We started from the well, walked along the tomb road for about fifteen minutes, it was a square tomb, in order to save the flashlight as much as possible, Qiao Fuzi found the candlesticks around the tomb and lit it, we turned off the lights, and the tomb suddenly became clear, but then, we were shocked, because this tomb was exactly the same as the tomb of the human ghost head we had been to before.
The sixth son was the first to run over and walk around the head of the human ghost, and said incredulously: "Impossible...... What the fuck are we ...... Back again? As he spoke, he wanted to pull the hair on the head of the ghost, but the third master was quick-eyed, kicked the sixth son, and scolded: "Are you fucking lacking again, and you still want to go down and drink water?" Liuzi scratched his head, blushed, and got up and stepped aside. It seems that he often gets into trouble.
To be honest, I don't believe that after a big circle in the underground river, we returned to the original place, and the impression left by the previous tomb on Liuzi and Qiao Fuzi may indeed be the current tomb, because they fell before the tomb was destroyed, but for the third master, Ah Chen, and me, who finally destroyed the chessboard and exploded people's heads, this tomb is at best a near-perfect imitation. Thinking about this, I breathed a sigh of relief for the time being, at least it wasn't a ghost hitting the wall.
At this time, Qiao Fuzi suddenly hummed, and I turned my head to look, and saw that he was standing in front of a relief, nodding his head, and saying something in his mouth: "It's different, it's different...... I see". I asked, "What's different?" ”
Qiao Fuzi pointed to the relief on the wall, and said let us come and see, and only after we had all gathered around him did he continue: "I don't know if you have noticed, in the tomb we went to before, the first wall was carved with two earth heads, and in this one, there are two small snakes. As he spoke, he gestured with his hand at the wall, and we realized that the two snakes were noticeably smaller than the earth's heads, and that they did not have the two long tentacles on their heads. We looked back and soon realized that this was a different story.
The first painting will not be repeated, the second painting is a middle-aged man holding a feather fan traveling in a sedan chair, looking at the person's dress, it should be a person from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the sedan chair is open on all sides, there is a circular ceiling on it, there is a strong shelf on each of the four corners, and there is a dense pile of aquatic plants under the bottom of the boat. We were about to go to see the third one, when the third master suddenly sighed: "Strange...... When was the electric motor invented? ”
Liuzi and Achen, you look at me, I look at you, they are all at a loss, I realized that I am probably the only college student here, and I have the responsibility to do it, so I seriously recalled: "En...... Since the second industrial revolution, mankind began to enter the electrical age, about in the thirties and forties of the nineteenth century, the German scientist Jacobi invented the DC engine, since then, the electric motor has begun to be widely used, but the cost of this engine is too high, not practical, so in the ...... In 1888, yes, it was 1888, an American inventor named Tesla, based on the principle of electromagnetic induction, invented the alternating current engine, and since then, the electric motor has been used in industrial homes...... Well, in general, it was in the nineteenth century, the seventies and eighties. "This is the most common lesson in a high school history textbook, I just parroted it, and Ah Chen and Liuzi stared at me with adoration, which made me embarrassed.
"Blind showmanship!" I was fluttering, and the third master turned his head and glared at me: "Who the hell do you think you don't know, Lao Tzu is letting you see the ripples under this boat!" ”
As soon as I heard this, my face immediately turned red, and I looked at the fingers of the third master, and then I noticed that there were some small ripples carved on the water surface around the sedan chair, as if ...... This boat is moving, I immediately understood what the third master asked about the motor, and his face suddenly burned even redder, in that era, there was no electric motor at all, the third master was just giving us this awakening, the sixth son and Ah Chen also sighed twice, and kept nodding.
Achen said: "Then this is strange, this boat has neither a sedan chair bearer nor a wooden pulp for rowing, how does it travel?" "Downstream!" Liuzi reacted almost immediately.
Actually, I also thought about going downstream, but the downstream has extremely high requirements for topography and wind direction, look at this picture, the terrain is not easy to judge, it is a small piece of water, as for the wind direction, I looked carefully again, and soon found that the round canopy on the top of the boat is still hanging around a circle of Pu Sui, if according to the direction of the north down the south, left, west, right and east, at this time the Pu Sui is slightly inclined to the east, and the direction of the boat is to the west, it can be seen that it is not downstream.
Sure enough, the third master raised his hand and slapped the back of the sixth son's head: "Follow your mother's head, do you see the direction of the wind?" Are you fucking angry? ”
The six sons didn't dare to come out of the air, and moved to the back of the line with their heads in their hands. Compared with the sixth son, I feel that I am really much more fucking lucky, the third master and uncle are simply boundless love for me, and there is true love in the world! Thinking about it, I became emboldened and said, "Could that be ...... Out of the reach of manpower? The one who sits on the boat is a fairy? "It's not an exaggeration to say anything in a place like this, and my imagination is starting to adapt to the special needs of a particular environment.
The third master stared at the water thoughtfully, neither affirming nor denying, but probably felt that I was fucking bullshit. However, this is already the best ending I can expect, at least the third master didn't want to beat me after hearing it, and I was already very content in my heart. At this time, Qiao Fuzi on the side suddenly snorted, his body took a step back suddenly, his face turned pale, his brows were almost wrinkled together, his two eyes were staring at the sedan chair, and he stammered: "It's a snake...... Snakes, a lot of snakes......"
I followed his gaze, although I was mentally prepared, but I still couldn't help but beat a spirit, it turned out that the pile of things under the sedan chair was not water grass, but a small snake with a high neck, the number was definitely not less than a hundred, densely pressed on the bottom of the boat, if it wasn't for Qiao Fuzi's sharp eyes, I would have guessed for 10,000 years, and I would never have guessed this top. I immediately made up the scene of these little snakes squirming and rowing, and the goosebumps exploded in an instant.
The third master also shuddered, and asked Qiao Fuzi, "What is the allusion to this?" Qiao Fuzi narrowed his eyes and shook his head: "My old Qiao has poured so many buckets, and it is the first time I have seen ten thousand snakes carrying a sedan chair, I am afraid that I will ...... It won't bode well. ”
