Chapter 207: The Wind

However, this time it was not as sprayed as the first time that the flow of water automatically stopped, but for a while, the muddy Huai River slowly rolled towards both sides, as if there was a flood beast churning in the silt of the river, trying to break through the mud. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Under the gaze of nearly a thousand people including Tian Fang, a strange-looking behemoth broke through the ground in the gushing turbid water.
There was no splashing of dirt, no earth-shattering roar. The behemoth that broke through the earth appeared in front of everyone's eyes along the gushing muddy water.
It is a rare two-headed snake-like monster. The three-foot-long red letter of the big head kept expanding and contracting, but the head was strangely divided into two halves, and two entangled snake bodies grew at the same time, which were a little thick. And between the two entangled snake bodies is a dark gold giant tripod, in the reflection of the setting sun, the dark gold giant tripod wrapped by the cyan snake scale body is particularly eye-catching.
I don't know how long the dark golden giant tripod has been buried in the silt of the river, but I don't know if it is because of the gushing water or other reasons, not only did it not produce any patina, but even the body of the tripod was as bright as new.
Through the gap between the snake's body, Tian Fang and the others could clearly see the appearance of the dark gold giant tripod, the round tripod. Since it is a round tripod, it also means that this giant tripod, which is at least eight or nine feet high, will inevitably be three-legged.
Ding, for thousands of years before Qin, appeared as the most noble ritual of the country. For the tripod as a ritual vessel, the three-legged round tripod is more noble than the four-legged square tripod, and the 'back' tripod is square and four-legged, and the king tripod is round and three-legged, which is a common consensus.
Successive dynasties have cast countless large tripods used as ritual vessels, but there are not many round tripods that can have three legs. And it is even more rare to have such a huge dark gold tripod with such a shape.
The monster's head was placed above the giant tripod, and the two bodies wrapped around the giant tripod. It stands in the middle of the river.
The soldiers of the construction corps who were under construction in the river were stunned for a while, and when they saw that the monster had no intention of attacking, they gradually relaxed their hearts. And Takata. On the one hand, he sent people to invite Qi Hong and others from Donghai County to come over, and on the other hand, he began to stand dozens of steps away from the monster and observe Juding.
From the color to the pattern, the most important thing is that the corner of the tripod that is occasionally exposed looks like a mountain topographic map style, which makes Tian Fang irrepressibly excited.
"Yuzhou Ding!"
Tian Fang's blurted out exclamation was the source of the news of the discovery of Yuzhou Ding.
As soon as the words came out, Tian Fang already regretted it, but there were thousands of construction corps soldiers around. Tian Fang's regret is already useless.
Tian Fang wanted to observe Yuzhou Ding more closely, but Tian Fang and the others immediately understood that if the monster didn't attack, it didn't mean that it really couldn't move. As long as it enters the monster's side, the monster immediately puts on a vigilant posture, eager to try and ready to choose someone to devour.
Compared to the mouth that was much thicker than a human body, no one wanted to risk their own lives to see if this unknown monster would actually swallow people.
The soldiers of the construction corps did not even have armor, let alone weapons. Looking at the size and size of the monster and the green scales, it is estimated that the shovels and other tools in their hands can only tickle the monster when they hit the monster's body, but they can't cause any damage to the monster.
That's all the useful information in Qi Hong's newspaper.
As for Weng Zhong's report, it was simpler, the Xuanwu Army didn't intend to kill the monster and get the giant ding, but the double monster wrapped around the giant ding didn't know why it had never left the giant ding, and the Xuanwu army's giant crossbow and strong crossbow couldn't be used at all for fear of causing damage to the giant ding, and more than ten people were killed in just a few breaths when they sent heavily armored soldiers forward.
These heavy-armored soldiers of the Xuanwu Army did not die in the mouths of monsters. Instead, he was slapped to death in front of Weng Zhong by the monster's two thick tails more than ten feet long. With a hundred and ten pounds of heavy armor and the weight of a person, the monster swatted people away one by one like swatting flies or smashed them into the swamp mud of the river.
And so it went.
……
In Hu Hai's opinion, the two-body monster was obviously guarding the Yuzhou Ding or something in the Yuzhou Ding, or trying to plot something in the Yuzhou Ding.
What kind of monster can grow with one head and two bodies? There seems to be no record of such a monster in later generations.
So did this monster not be discovered, or was it originally a giant python and then produced a genetic mutation and grew two bodies and a head? I remember that in later generations, there were often strange babies born of genetic mutations, as well as cattle and sheep, and in Hu Hai's opinion, the latter should be a little more likely.
The genetically mutated monster was put aside for the time being, but could it really be that coincidental. The foundation of Guangling Bridge is located in the place where Yuzhou Ding is buried?
I was inexplicably able to travel through more than two thousand years of time and space to appear in Great Qin to replace Hu Hai as the emperor of Great Qin, so it seems that some more strange things are not so difficult to accept.
Hu Hai felt that the materialist concept in his heart was collapsing little by little.
……
In February, Daqin has begun to grow grass and warblers fly everywhere, and the desert thousands of miles away from Daqin is still cold and cold. Standing on the edge of the desert, you can see the rolling Kunlun Mountains in the distance, and the layers of mountain shadows are hidden by tens of thousands of years of snow. It is like a divine pillar connecting the heavens and the earth, giving rise to a sense of insignificance in people's hearts.
A long convoy of horses sailed along a river that had been dried up by winter in the undulating desert as far as the eye could see.
A cloud of cold wind that can tear people's skin raw, rolling up large balls of fine yellow sand and slashing towards the horse team, from time to time there is a sound of the sorrow of the war horse from the cold wind far away. That's because the horse's eye is not properly covered, and the yellow sand enters the warhorse's eye.
The horse team struggled through the desert in the bitter cold wind, and it seemed that there was no end in sight. The whole world was gray, and it was impossible to see what the road ahead was.
In the distant sky, on the edge of the desert, where the sky and the earth meet, the dark clouds like cotton wool slowly merge together like birds falling into the forest, gradually forming a curtain that seems to connect the sky and the earth, and is coming towards the gray desert.
As the gray-black tent moved, you could clearly see that small wind whirlpools rolled and merged in this tent, gradually converging into more than ten huge spiral wind pillars that connected the heavens and the earth, crushing everything and rampaging in the heavens and the earth. Countless yellow sand was attracted by the wind pillar and melted into the wind whirlpool, rumbling and rumbling.
At this time, the bitter wind that originally raged the entire desert stopped strangely.
"The wind, it's the wind!"
