DAY 109 The Secret in the Reverse Scales
"That's right! And this trick! The younger brother clapped his hands and kicked his feet, pulled his legs and ran back, so I had to yell at him again: "Didn't you say that you should be more steady?" Believe it or not, I'll stop doing it in minutes and drag you back?! ”
My brother immediately stopped again, this time turning around and sticking out his tongue at me, then lowered his head and picked up the first stone.
"Idiot, how long have you been picking it up like this?" With difficulty, I walked over and pointed to the stone in his hand and taught him, "First step on this and go to the distance, then take the farthest one, then take a step back and get one, and when you come back, your hands will naturally be full of stones, and you don't have to walk with your legs pulled out all the time." ”
"I also remembered this trick just now, and I know it if you don't say it." The younger brother said hurriedly, threw the stone back in his hand and stepped on the stone and hurriedly jumped back. I smiled a little amusedly, thought about it, stood still, and waited quietly for him to come back.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the flickering light in the distance to come from far and near again. My brother showed me the stones he was holding in his arms: "Look, come on! That's enough, right? Hey! ”
I amusedly touched his head, took some of the stones for him, and then turned back to the jaw of the dragon's head again, and stacked the stones squarely around the roughly located place of the scales in a small semicircle.
"Let's dig out the mud now, it will definitely not flow back this time!" I said to my brother with a confident smile. My brother smiled and nodded with his sparkling eyes, and then we excitedly started to dig together.
Soon. The scales emerge from under the patches of mud.
"'Black'...... Why is there only one 'black' word? My brother squinted at the ancient characters written on the scales, and after trying to make out them, he looked at me strangely.
"How do I know?" I'm also a little confused. I thought there would be some strange riddles like poetry waiting for us to solve.
"Why don't we go to the dragon head on the right and dig again." The younger brother pointed to the right and said.
I nodded in agreement, picked up the stone and walked to the right again, doing the same.
“…… The people who built this tomb are kidding us, right? The corners of my mouth twitched, looking at the big "white" word written on the reverse scales here.
"Does this mean that this is a white dragon, and that one over there is a black dragon?" The younger brother racked his brains and thought, "Shall we see what is written on the reverse scales of the dragon in the middle?" ”
But it turned out that because the dragon in the middle was holding the big dragon ball, its chin was probably inserted directly into the ground, and it was not revealed at all, let alone the location of the reverse scales.
"But with only one 'black' word and one 'white' word, it is impossible to guess which path is the right one?" I rushed.
"Wait...... Sister. The younger brother touched the dragon ball. Looking at the seam between the dragon ball and the dragon's mouth, he suddenly called to me, "This dragon ball and the dragon's mouth are not carved together...... Does that mean, in fact, this dragon ball can be removed? ”
"Huh?" I immediately ran over. Take a closer look. Truly. The dragon ball and the dragon's mouth are not carved from the same large stone with jade glued to it. Instead, they were carved separately. In other words, it is very likely that the dragon's jaw will be pressed to the ground because of the existence of this dragon ball?
So, as long as we find a way to get the Dragon Balls removed. Is it possible to see the scales that have been inserted into the soil? Maybe it's a decisive hint written on it.
…… But with such a big dragon ball, how do we separate it from the dragon's jaws that are biting it?
"I remember when I used to study ancient texts, I saw a passage related to the dragon ball, which seems to be in the "Zhuangzi Collection of Interpretations"...... 'The pearl of the husband's daughter will be in the ninefold abyss and under the dragon's jaw, and the son who can get the pearl will be slept by it.'" So that the dragon and the dragon, the son is still slight! The interpretation is probably 'a jewel worth a thousand gold, it must come from under the jaw of the black dragon at the bottom of the pool, and you can easily obtain such a jewel, you must be just in time for the black dragon to fall asleep.' If the black dragon wakes up, do you still want to come back alive? ’…… If this passage is talking about the current situation, that is, the Dragon Ball can only be taken away when the black dragon is asleep. I held my head and remembered this passage that the ancient teacher had taught in class.
"Why didn't you remember it sooner? It's also related to the black dragon! When the younger brother heard this, his eyes immediately lit up.
"But the orb here is not under the black dragon's chin, although there is a pool bottom, yes, but this quagmire was not added later...... Strictly speaking, it doesn't match at all......" I muttered.
"Wait...... Under the chin...... We didn't see the jaw...... Could it be that this jaw is not actually under this Dragon Ball? The younger brother suddenly thought of something, and suddenly slapped his thigh.
"What's that?" I was taken aback.
"I mean, we all thought the dragon head was 'biting' the Dragon Ball, but maybe not?" The younger brother pointed to the place where the dragon's mouth meets the dragon ball, and patiently explained to me, "Perhaps, although we only saw the upper jaw of this dragon head, in fact, this jaw is in the middle of this upper jaw and this lower jaw, but it was suppressed and we didn't see it?" So in fact, there is nothing wrong with this dragon ball being under the jaw of the dragon, we just need to let this dragon fall asleep, and we can get the dragon ball. ”
"So this dragon is also a black dragon? So what is the other black dragon we just saw? "I pointed to the dragon on the left.
"Whatever, we're going to see what matters on the dragon's scales." The younger brother waved his hand, grabbed the dragon's beard in the middle, and began to climb up.
I was so frightened that I hurriedly helped him: "What are you doing?" Suddenly going up rock climbing? ”
"Aren't you going to put the black dragon to sleep? I'm going to plug its eyes and close them before I can sleep. After the younger brother stabilized his figure, he found a few steps and stepped on the nose of the dragon's head.
"Hey, hey, don't be so fast, be careful, what should you do if you fall?" I was screaming in a hurry below. Fortunately, there is a thick layer of mud underneath, and there is still a little protection after all, so I am not so frightened.
"It's alright, I'm almost there." My brother replied to me from above, and then attached himself to the bridge of the dragon's nose and reached far into the dragon's eyeballs.
But it's always a cut off.
I was so anxious that I put my hands into a trumpet and shouted up again: "If it doesn't work, come down, it's too dangerous!" Let's think of another way, don't take this risk! (To be continued.) )
