Chapter 388 The Dragon Said
Sumire looked at the crypt and jumped down without even thinking about it.
Maybe there are other vents. There is no corruption in the air inside, but there is no light and no darkness. She could see things at night, and she was not afraid, and walked along the tunnel.
The tunnel was not wide, only large enough for a thin man to pass through. It is surrounded by stone bricks and has roughly a semicircular top.
To be honest, if this was the remains of Ye Fashan, An Qisheng or Hopewell Palace, she would definitely be cautious, but the local tyrants in remote areas would have the same wealth.
So Xiao Jin took a step forward and rubbed against the other side all the way. There was no ambush in the tunnel. It went very well. After walking for an hour, she stopped in front of a stone door.
It was made of a large piece of bluestone, thick and strong, and the knocker was still a black tiger head.
It is said that Li Runzhi built a building and mobilized nearly 10,000 civilian workers. Should this be dug into the cliffs of the Black Lake?"
She estimated the distance, stretching from the stables to this point, just into the mountainside. But she looked at the stone door and gently pushed her little hand upward.
Boom.
First there was a muffled sound, dust and smoke everywhere, then the door slot came loose and a gap opened with a creak.
Xiao Jin looked at it, but it was a square secret room, nothing else, there were dozens of boxes, all of them were fine camphor wood boxes, and they were also inlaid with brass edges.
She stepped forward and took a casual sip, and inside was a box of bullets.
Flume!
She blinked, opened all the boxes, and covered her face with matrix metalloproteinase. It is true that there is no hope for township entrepreneurs.
No, you have to take into account the context of the times. When Li Runzhi was in power, it was before Xia Guojian's rule, the warlords were divided, and the war was raging, so what was the most valuable thing for him?
Of course, it's gold and silver, weapons, medicine, and opium!
So, out of these dozens of boxes, ten are filled with gold bars, five are filled with assorted jewelry, and 20 are filled with cigarette paste that has deteriorated for a long time and smells of stale urine. The rest are Mauser pistols, Hanyang cards, Zhongcheng cards, and a few flower cards.
"Ahhhh
Xiao Jin instantly fried her hair and walked around holding her hair, unable to lose face. People take treasures, they are all Sazu Daoyin, Hongyang Sword Technique, Ginseng Spirit Horse, it's Mao's turn, is that so?
She rolled for a long time before settling down, picked up a large yellow croaker and threw it up and down.
"Antique boom, gold troubled times, is it boom or troubled times now? It used to be the gold standard, but in a few years it will become the spirit stone standard. Stop, bored!"
She didn't bother to take it, but after thinking about it, she took out her storage bag and filled it with 20 gold barsβgoing back and trying to use it on the smelting equipment.
After doing this, Sumire was about to flash their secret room, and her steps were abrupt.
Well?
She turned to the front of a box. She reached in and grabbed a corner and lifted it.
Crash.
The jewelry box was scattered all over the floor, but she held an old book with a yellow cover in her hand. During the Republic of China, the standard prints were from right to left, the text was vertical, and the title of the book was printed on the title page: "Hua Long Shuo".
β......β
Sumire narrowed her eyes, not knowing what to think, just put the book away and stayed away from the secret room.
Boom.
The stone door closed again, as if it had never been opened.
With the current harsh environment of Ailao Mountain, the Li Family Mansion and the tunnel secret room will even disappear in the New World for a long time.
......
It was getting late, the camp was brightly lit, and the crowd was huddled together and shivering.
On this changed mountain, the danger at night is several times higher than during the day. Although Old Ancestor drew a circle to protect him, he was not there and inevitably felt scared.
"Sasha Vujasic!"
Suddenly, a broken bell rang outside, and the floating thundercloud sand began to move slowly. The crowd was nervous, believing it to be a sneak attack by wild animals. As a result, a little girl wiped it.
"Come back! Come back!"
The crowd was overjoyed, and the atmosphere immediately heated up. Tao Yu leaned down and asked, "Are you okay?"
"It's fine. What are you going to do?" said Sumire, waving her hand.
"Well, that ......"
One of the brothers was very bold and did not leave. He asked hesitantly, "Have you found the Li family's treasure?"
"Of course I have. I also went for a walk. β
Roar.
This sentence nailed everyone's legs and feet to the proper position and listened to the sound with their ears. The people of southern Yunnan all know the legend of Li Runzhi's treasure, but they really found it without thinking.
Tao Yu was also surprised, and said cautiously: "Well, what's inside?"
"Gold, all over the house. β
What a man! The camp immediately warmed up.
"Hehe, I would say, there must be a treasure! Li Jia has been in Xinping for several generations. How much does it cost?"
"Listen to my grandfather, at least 300 crates of gold! What is the price of gold now?"
"Lying in the sink, more than Β£100 million!"
"Ah, ah, fairy, did you take them all?"
"What should I do with it?"
"That's gold!
"In other words, you treat us like dung. We need it. Why don't you want to move us with you?"
The group was swept away by the treasure, and immediately began to cry, forgetting their previous proportions.
"Hey, gold......"
Xiao Jin seemed to be smiling, her eyes swept over the crowd, "Whoever wants to dig, don't bother me!"
Oh.
As soon as the last two words appeared, everyone covered their ears and only felt that their eardrums were swollen and painful, and then their heads were dizzy and convulsive. It took a long time to recover, and there was silence in the field, and a wave of fear erupted.
In the evening, accommodation area.
Work continues on the other side of the well to confirm the precise distribution of the ore horizons. The sound of mechanical movement shook the entire camp. They all eat this bowl of rice, and they have long been used to it. The person who rested in the shift fell asleep and was not affected at all.
"Knock, knock!"
"Come in!"
Tao Yu pushed the door in. Little Violet sat at the table. There was an old book on the table, and he asked, "What is this?"
"Well, let me accompany you. β
Tao Yu's posture was so low that his head almost fell to the ground. "They didn't mean to, either. They used to be workers. Hearing about treasures and the like, they inevitably forget about themselves. β
"Is this it? Then you can go. I don't care. β
"Then you, you ......"
"I said nothing, it's nothing, get out!"
"Okay, you go to bed early. β
Tao Yu was helpless and slipped out the door.
Xiao Pan pouted, picked up the book and continued to read, whether this book is Chinese Traditional or vertical, it is difficult to read. She had just read two pages, which was the preface.
The author's name is Yuan Songzi, and he was a wandering Taoist priest in the late Qing Dynasty. He lived in Xinping for a long time and was regarded as a guest of honor by Li Runzhi.
He doesn't have much skills, he just likes to study ancient books, travel the world, and are interested in some strange things. However, this book "Hua Long Shuo" belongs to the category of miscellaneous talks. It is a study of the existence or absence of biological "dragons".
Dragon, maybe you haven't seen it.
As for the origin, the early version is that after the Yellow Emperor defeated Yan Di and Chiyou, he traveled all over the world and merged with Busan. From the totems of each tribe, they participate and combine to form a dragon.
However, as more and more dragons are found at prehistoric cultural sites, the story is rarely mentioned.
After that, it began to be discussed from a biological point of view, saying that the dragon had a prototype, but the ancients exaggerated it.
Among them, the most influential is the snake theory. For example, Wen Yiduo confirmed that the prototype of the dragon totem was a snake totem. Others believe that the archetypes are crocodiles, lizards, horses, and even lightning.
The reason for this variant: Yu.
The perspective of this book "Hualong Says" is relatively novel. This is explained from ancient texts and Taoist theories. It's a bit casual, but Xiao Zi reads it with relish.
Yuan Songzi first mentioned the Book of Dragons. Legend has it that when Fu Xishi was attacked, a dragon drew a river. Fu Xi used the Dragon Chronicle to create the Book of Dragons.
Later, during the reign of Emperor Shun, there was a custom of raising dragons. "When Shun was in power, people came to worship dragons and tried to eat them."
Then there are records of dragon sightings in the past dynasties, and in the Tang Dynasty, the records are even more detailed: "Hu Ju, an ordinary person in Tongcheng County, Zhoushu, died in a dragon battle in the courtroom. Each fish with a length of more than 10 zhang, scales and hyenas, must be two zhang long, and each of the two horns must be two zhang long. β
Then there was the Qing Dynasty, accurate to a certain month of a certain year. "In June 56, the red dragon of Juzhou was found in Longwangyu. At first it was large, then it was small, tens of meters long. Vegetation is burning. β
The most recent one occurred in the Republic of China, which was the very famous "Wugou Camp Dragon Descending Incident".
Some of them are close to myths and legends, and some are indeed recorded in ancient books. Yuan Songzi expounded his views in a state of self-release.
He said that in the pre-Qin period, human beings were prosperous, real people, intelligent people, gods of God, etc., often traveling around the world on dragons and making a proud trip. At that time, dragons were used as three types of sedan chairs: one was a dragon sedan chair, another was a tiger sedan chair, and the third was a deer sedan chair, which was a powerful means of transportation.
Later, when humanity declined, the role of the dragon began to change. Especially among the people, dragons began to slowly deify, and Kaneki's belief in the five elements β fire, water, and earth β gradually emerged.
Later, it was used as a marketing tool by the emperor. What kind of man and dragon are one, claiming to be Balabala, the real dragon emperor.
In fact, in the native land of Xia Guo, they were originally called dragon gods, and there is no such thing as a dragon king. After Buddhism was introduced to China, it merged with the mainland to become the Dragon King.
Yuan Songzi believes that from ancient times to the present, as the ability of monks has become smaller and smaller, the rank and virtue of dragons have become worse and worse. Because no one ever saw it as a god, it was just a mount and food...
In the end, he also divided the dragons into more than ten types, including Yao, Qiu, Jiao, Chi, Jiao, etc. , similar in appearance.
In short, Yuan Songzi concluded that dragons are the essence of heaven and earth, and they should be born with feelings, and they must have feelings.
β......β
When Xiaozi put down the book, it was already early the next morning, and she knew.
She leaned back in her chair with her long legs resting on the table, her stool legs cocked, and she closed her eyes and thought. If I had read this book five years ago, it would have been nonsense.
But now, if we explain it with Reiki theory, uh, that seems to make sense.
