Chapter 110: The Legend of the Tuqiang Pearl
How is it okay for that bespectacled guy to go in, and you know there's a mechanism inside? ”
I said: "Generally speaking, after entering the tomb, there are hidden weapon mechanisms such as arrow holes, and Daoist Yu has just tried to use a stone to trigger the bracket, but this does not mean that people will be fine when they go in, you see how the little four-eyed person got in, and how this boss got in." ”
"These four-eyed boys climbed in against the wall of the passage after entering, so it's okay?" The one-eyed dragon asked.
I pointed to the stone slab under the passage and said: "Although the wisdom of the ancients is very clever, but the invention of the hidden weapon will also be related to reality, if you throw a stone into it, it will cause the machine in the passage to operate, and if a mouse climbs in, won't it ruin their elaborate design?" So the slate is the most important, only when the person steps on it, the weight device under the slate calculates the weight of an adult, it will trigger the bracket, the four-eyed boy climbed in against the wall, did not step on the slate, so did not trigger the bracket, we just need to be careful, step on both sides of the slate to go in, you follow me, be careful. ”
As I spoke, I took the lead and walked into the passage, the one-eyed dragon and Daoist Yu glanced at each other, and then followed behind me.
This passage is less than fifty meters long, and after walking out of the passage, there is a deep pit in front of me, and the group of people who followed me had better shine their flashlights, otherwise they would have fallen into it.
On the opposite side of this pit is a passage, about twenty meters from my feet, and in the middle is connected a wrist-thick iron cable, which seems to test one's balance.
After the one-eyed dragon came out of the passage, he looked into the deep pit, which was full of milky white water, and he raised his gun and pointed at the four-eyed boy and said, "You go first." ”
"I don't want to go." Four-eyed boy said with a crying voice.
"No, you want to." The one-eyed dragon said and counted. "Three, two......"
Four-eyed boy was so frightened that he immediately walked on the iron cable, his legs trembled, and he fell down, fortunately he grabbed the iron rope in time and hung on the iron cable, he walked forward with both hands on the iron cable, but when he walked to the middle, he finally fell down because he was too afraid and his palms were sweaty.
After Four-Eyed fell into the water, he poured his saliva, first flapping twice, and then screaming in pain.
I saw that the skin of the four-eyed boy seemed to be burned, making a sneering sound, bubbles all over his body, a scorching stench wafted in, the skin on his face melted, his mouth opened, and when he sank and fluttered up, it turned into a pile of white bones with flesh.
"This is the weak water of the River Styx, you must not fall down, otherwise you will never recover!" Yu Daochang reminded.
"Build a magpie bridge!" The one-eyed dragon commanded his men.
So the two tribesmen of the Tuqiang tribe opened the backpack behind them, took out the two launchers, shook the handle to tighten the clockwork, and pressed the hub, with two "whoosh" sounds, the two ropes penetrated into the opposite mountain rock.
Then a group of people took out the pedal board and hit the two ropes, and laid the pedal board one by one, and everyone followed behind.
After the group of us crossed the passage in the belly of the mountain, we soon came to a very large space, which was like a huge church, with sharp stone pillars hanging down from the ceiling, the stone pillars were more than a meter in diameter, and around the space, there was a circle of wood hung by ropes, which were as thick as the stone pillars, and they were also sharpened, and looked ready to go.
"Daoist Yu, this ghost place looks like a mechanism, is there any way to do it in the past?" The one-eyed dragon asked.
Daoist Yu shook his head and said, "I really can't see what's going on with this, the road below is paved, and I haven't found a place to set up a mechanism." ”
Daoist Yu looked at me as he spoke, and I said, "Daoist Yu can't see anything abnormal, how can I see that as long as we don't trigger any device, we should be able to walk over safely, right?" ”
"Hmm." The one-eyed dragon touched his chin, pointed a gun at the tourist and said, "Let me lead the way, whoever dares to touch things, Lao Tzu will shoot him immediately!" ”
Several women were crying, the one-eyed dragon was angry on his face, and he was about to shoot, I stopped the one-eyed dragon and said; "They don't dare to go down, I'll go down and try first."
"I'll keep it for you, and I'll use it later." The one-eyed dragon said and put the gun on the head of a female tourist and said: "Lao Tzu hates others crying and chirping in front of me, and it hurts my brain, especially in the ancient tomb, like a haunting, just walk in front, and if you cry again, Lao Tzu will collapse you." ”
The female tourist turned pale with fright, slowly walked down the steps, and walked to the stone road in the space, the stone road was neatly paved, and it didn't seem to be anything abnormal, and when the female tourist walked more than ten meters away, I followed her and walked down.
So the one-eyed dragon beckoned the tourists to follow one by one, and he and his men followed at the back.
Nothing happened until the end of this vast space, and in front of us was a dark and spacious cave, and the female tourist in front of us saw that she had reached the steps and jumped up one step.
The stone steps were shattered, the underground machine was running, and a gust of wind whirred into my ears, and I was alert, and suddenly I looked at the dark cave, and a sharpened giant tree shot out!
"Be careful, get down!" I have night vision in this dark space, but no one else can detect it in time, so by the time I call out to remind everyone, it's too late!
I saw the female tourist at the head of the row was shot out of the cave by the giant tree instantly pierced the chest, shot to the place where we came, this straight road was full of people, a few people heard my shout and lay down in time, and a few flashlights found the giant tree across the crossing, the whole process was only three seconds, a hesitation, many tourists were killed on the spot by the giant tree, even the Tuqiang people were killed by two.
After a loud bang, the giant tree hit the belly of the mountain behind him, everyone screamed, and the flashlight in his hand shook for a while, and at this time, the ropes around the space that tied those giant trees suddenly broke sound, and a giant tree slid down, and when a male tourist who survived the catastrophe poked away, he died tragically on the giant tree.
The giant tree was tied by the rope on the zenith, so after swinging to the opposite side, it swung back again, and soon, the sound of the rope breaking kept coming, and the giant trees in all directions were hammered down, and everyone escaped or died in the screams, and most of the dead and wounded for a while.
I and Lao Guang Bachelor and Yu Daochang are all Taoist people, with keen five senses and insight into opportunities, so we can avoid it, and Rao is so dangerous and dangerous, because once you are accidentally rubbed by a giant tree, you will be seriously injured if you don't die.
"Go up the stairs and escape to the cave!" Yu Daochang said.
The one-eyed dragon took the lead in running forward, but he accidentally slipped and fell by the flashlight falling on the ground, and it happened that at this time a huge piece of wood poked, and the one-eyed dragon stared at the one-eyed dragon, and saw that he was going to die, and was kicked away by me, picking up a life.
With gratitude in his eyes, he got up and rushed to the steps again, and ran into the cave, and when everyone had entered the cave, they were all trembling with fright, and their faces turned pale.
Originally, there were more than 20 tourists, but now there are only five left, me and the old bachelor, a mother and son, and a middle-aged man, while there were originally twenty or thirty people from the Tuqiang tribe, but now there are only ten people left.
"Damn, my Tuqiang tribe has few people, these brothers are all trained in a hundred battles, and they have broken most of my brothers before they have done anything, I'm afraid that the ancestor of the Tuqiang tribe has a problem with his brain, right? The one-eyed dragon was so angry that he scolded his ancestors.
"Tuqiang Zhu is a big matter, it is said that the Tuqiang patriarch rebelled from the Xiongnu and wanted to be the king, only to be suppressed by various tribes, if it were not for Tuqiang Zhu in hand, how could he have escaped the pursuit of the Han Iron Cavalry at the same time, and escaped the attack of the Xiongnu tribes?" Daoist Yu asked.
"Daoist Yu, I heard you say that you want to find the Tuqiang Pearl, I don't know what kind of treasure this Tuqiang Pearl is, and you don't hesitate to let you lose your troops and lose your generals to get it?" I asked.
"If someone asked, Lao Tzu would have shot him a one, but you saved me twice, I can tell you." The one-eyed dragon said. "This Tuqiang pearl is the holy relic of my Tuqiang tribe, it is rumored that the person who holds the Tuqiang pearl can run into the sky and the earth, and regard the mountains and stones as nothing, that Lao Tzu got this treasure, and went directly to the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang to take out the elixir and a valuable treasure, the world's imperial tomb treasure cave, how can Lao Tzu not go?"
The one-eyed dragon said and laughed, and Yu Daochang said: "It's a bit exaggerated to go into the sky, but it's true that the mountain stone is like nothing, and it is rumored that the Tuqiang Pearl was originally owned by a tribe that took the pangolin as a totem of faith in ancient times, and their tribe had a pangolin that became a fine pangolin, and the pangolin accepted the worship of the tribesmen, lived for hundreds of years, and dug up countless heavenly and earthly treasures for the tribesmen. Later, in an excavation of the earth's treasure, accidentally dug through the underground dragon vein, was eroded by the dragon qi, and mutated into a mountain dragon, after years of growth, the body became more and more huge, and the mountain collapsed and cracked between the tails, seeing that he was about to turn into a heavenly dragon and soar after a thousand years, but was targeted by a group of gas refiners, so countless gas refiners killed, and the mountain dragon was killed in the case of heavy losses. But for some reason, the Tuqiang pearl was lost until the period of the Great Shang Dynasty. ”
"This Tuqiang bead can't be the stuff of the Tuxing Sun in myths and legends, right?" I asked.
Yu Daochang shook his head and said: "The world only knows that there is an invisible Tuxing Sun, but they don't know that there is also a Zhang Kui who is more good at the art of the earth, and the Tuxing Sun was killed by Zhang Kui, because the Tuqiang Pearl is in Zhang Kui's hands, but this is all ancient mythology, it is not believable, until the ancestors of the Tuqiang tribe got the Tuqiang Pearl, and this tribe was able to spread out." ”
"There is such a legend." I was amazed.
"There are many legends about Tuqiang Pearl." The one-eyed dragon said with a proud face. "It is rumored that before my Tuqiang ancestors got the Tuqiang Pearl, the Tuqiang Pearl once overturned this piece of mountains and seas, destroyed countless mountains and rivers, and caused the Great Wall to collapse 800 miles away!"
"No, isn't that related to Meng Jiangnu crying on the Great Wall?" I asked again.
Meng Jiangnu crying on the Great Wall is a well-known story, when Qin Shi Huang repaired the Great Wall, Meng Jiangnu's husband Fan Xiliang was arrested to repair the Great Wall, Fan Xiliang was a weak scholar, overwhelmed, hungry and cold under the exhaustion and illness died, was buried under the foundation of the Great Wall, as a stake.
Meng Jiangnu traveled thousands of miles to the Great Wall to look for her husband, and after learning that her husband had died, she cried loudly, trying to find her husband's body, and cried for three days in a row, moving the heavens and the earth, and finally the Great Wall collapsed, revealing her husband's body.
Originally, this was just a very short story, but it can be passed down for thousands of years, and it has to make people doubt that if it can be related to Tuqiang Zhu, then the collapse of the Great Wall is not impossible.
"There is indeed a description of this paragraph in the ancient books of the Tuqiang people, maybe it is a mythical story compiled by the ancients in order to render the extraordinary divine power of the Tuqiang beads, and how to see the treasures before conclusive." Yu Daochang said.
"Yu Daochang is right, you have to see the treasure before conclusive, the ancestors of the Tuqiang tribe left a treasure map in the clan, crooked and was found by me, I think it should be the time for Lao Tzu to make a fortune, trapped in the ravine where the bird does not and lived for half a lifetime, Lao Tzu has long been fed up, and when Lao Tzu gets the Tuqiang beads, dig up antique treasures all over the world, exchange them for a lot of money, and then build a manor, luxury cars and houses, raise five or seven or eight female stars, and give birth to fifty or sixty little cubs, that life, tsk." The one-eyed dragon began to think beautifully again.
We repaired in the cave for a while and continued on our way, and soon came to a burial chamber.
Inside the burial chamber were seven coffins, which were covered with dust.
"Could this be the main burial chamber?" The one-eyed dragon asked, the flashlight in his hand suddenly shining on a statue above the burial chamber.
The statue was the image of a woman, smiling and dragging a bead in her hand, the color of which was distinctly different from the statue, and even faintly glowing.
"This statue can't be Meng Jiangnu, you look at the beads in her hand, this thing must be the Tuqiang Pearl, except for the treasure of the Tuqiang Pearl, which can shine, how can the rest of the things be so bright?" The one-eyed dragon said, pointing to the old bachelor who had been silent, and said: "You old man didn't say a word from beginning to end, look east and look west, Lao Tzu has endured you for a long time, and brought the Tuqiang pearl in the past!" ”
"Me?" The old bachelor was looking at him with a gun and pointed at him, so he pointed at himself and asked.
"Could it be that Lao Tzu is talking to a ghost?" The one-eyed dragon said angrily.
"Okay, I'll go." The old bachelor looked at the beads dragged in the hands of the statue of Meng Jiangnu with a happy face.
"Come back!" Seeing this, the one-eyed dragon immediately called back the old bachelor. "This old man is not honest, so he has to call his own people to go over and get it."
The one-eyed dragon said and looked at one of his subordinates behind him, the Tuqiang man nodded, put on gloves, and cautiously walked to the middle of the coffin to approach the statue, he lifted his feet and smoothly took the bead from Meng Jiangnu's hand.
"Boss, I got it!"
The Tuqiang tribesman said to the one-eyed dragon with the beads, but at this moment, the sculpture behind him suddenly trembled, and then, the statue turned, and I saw that the originally beautiful and delicate Meng Jiangnu turned around and turned out to be an ugly-looking evil ghost statue!
The demon had a fork in his hand, and his eyes were fixed on the Tuqiang tribesman who was holding the Tuqiang pearl in his arms.
"What are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and send the Tuqiang Zhu to Lao Tzu." The one-eyed dragon said anxiously.
The Tuqiang tribesman was dumbfounded, and when he heard the words of the one-eyed dragon, he turned around and was about to run, but the evil ghost statue behind him suddenly moved!
With a pop, the long fork ran through the chest and abdomen of the Tuqiang tribesmen, the blood flowed straight down, and the Tuqiang beads fell to the ground.
The one-eyed dragon hurriedly ran over and hugged Tuqiang Zhu in his arms, he laughed and said, "The baby is here, let's go!" ”
At that moment, however, I saw the man stabbed to death in front of the statue, blood flowing down the groove under the steps to the seven coffins.
The coffin shook slightly, and suddenly there was a strange sound!
"What's the hell of a ghost?" Yu Daochang frowned and kicked over the coffin in front of him.
An elongated black monster falls out of its coffin.
Looks like a vicious dog.
