Immortal Tomb Demon Ditch Chapter 8 The Third Legend (II)
The vanguard general, along with several cavalrymen behind him, was swallowed by a large green dragon, and the description of this paragraph was very little, almost a word, he only said that his heart and thinking seemed to have stopped, and it felt like he had slept for a while.
Then immediately after a while, his physical state returned to normal, but he was green and faint in front of him, and he pinched himself with his hand, and the pain was extreme, it turned out that he was still alive.
The cavalry behind him carried oilcloths on them, made torches and handed them to him, but it was strange that the color of the torches was also green and faint, and the light spread out, and the vision became clear.
It turned out that the green and gloomy thing was gold everywhere, but the refracted light was green. The vanguard general suspected that his eyes were broken, so he asked the other cavalrymen if there was something wrong with their eyes, but he did not expect that the other soldiers were in the same situation as himself.
In fact, in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, gold refers to all metals, and in the ancient Han philological work "Shuowen" written by Xu Shen in the Eastern Han Dynasty, gold is called gold, silver is called white gold, copper is also gold, or iron is black gold. Until the Tang and Song dynasties, because gold and silver are easy to form, resistant to retention, and the mineral sources of gold and white sources are not flooded, first of all, silver circulation is more common, and gold is mostly used for construction and decoration, and later after trading with Western Europe and other Western countries, it was found that people's currency is mainly gold, so gold has been taken seriously, and gradually the meaning of gold has slowly shrunk to gold.
At that time, in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, it was exactly the opposite of now, when people valued copper and light gold, and also regarded bronze as gold, and the currency in circulation was also made of bronze. So here, the vanguard generals of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty are not looking at the gold in our ordinary consciousness, but bronze.
During the Eastern Weekend Period, civil strife and foreign wars were unbearable, and many of the general military departments commanding operations, because they were worried about the issue of military salaries, were issued to various large and small military departments "coin molds", also known as currency seals, and of course, there were many names, which were official things for making currency. With it, the military department and the general can make currency according to the needs of any time, and the raw material for making currency is this bronze, of course, this currency is not as much as the general wants to do, the king will send someone to take charge of the coin mold, how much money the general wants to make, where it is spent, and when the final battle is completed, it will be reported to the king, but in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty during the period of King Zhou Xun, King Qin Zhaoxiang of Qin has basically replaced the position of Zhou Tianzi, so this makes this vanguard general see some opportunities.
His idea at that time was to ship the gold (bronze) out. So he ordered his subordinates to start looking around for the exit, and then they gradually discovered, and suddenly realized that this was not the belly of the big green dragon, but a black mineral cave, and they began to be afraid, could it be that they had encountered some mountain demon, and the search must be in the mountain of Heigangzi.
After all, the vanguard general had been on the battlefield for a long time, and soon gave a new order, for all six cavalry to fill a bag of gold, and then immediately look for an exit. It is estimated that several hours have passed, and an hour in ancient times is equivalent to two hours now, and they sighed how the interior of this cave could be so big, and from the outside, this black hill is only three miles square.
Just as they were physically and mentally exhausted and wanted to rest, some scattered bronze coffins began to appear in front of their eyes, which were called gold coffins at that time, which were very valuable, which showed how noble the identity of the owners of these bronze coffins was.
No one didn't see money, and it was a troubled time at that time, and immediately the vanguard general and the six cavalry forgot about their fatigue, and tacitly went up to copy the guy to pry open the bronze coffin, but when they saw the things in the coffin, cold sweat broke out on their sideburns and foreheads, saying what they saw, how could they be scared like this, I also felt a chill on the back of my neck when I listened to Bai Laogou.
They actually saw the dead bodies with two heads, which were not yet decomposed, and were quite well preserved. This corpse had no legs and feet, and there was a black human head and two arms on the lower body that should have long legs and feet, and this black head was looking at the vanguard general and the six cavalrymen with open eyes at this time, the green eyes, slender and with a dead man's evil aura.
At that moment they were so frightened that they began to continue to run forward, and as they ran, they found that there were more and more bronze coffins like this, almost everywhere. When they rested and counted the number of people, they found that there was one less cavalryman, and they all had a hunch that the vanished cavalry was likely to have been captured by the corpse just now.
Although they were tired to the extreme, this place was not a place to stay for a long time, and they dragged their tired steps on, and suddenly they plunged headlong into the gray fog at some point, and the torches were extinguished. They could still see because of the yellow light coming in from ahead, and they thought it was the sun's rays ahead, so they quickened their pace.
After walking out of the fog, they were horrified to see a golden city appear far ahead, and colorful clouds floated above the city.
According to the silk map, the gate was very high, estimated to be nearly a dozen people high, the gate was ajar, as if waiting for their arrival, the door was pitch black, they re-lit the torches, and found that there was one less cavalry, six cavalry at the beginning, now there are only four left.
The vanguard general frowned, and still entered the city with four cavalrymen with torches, but I don't know if the torches were extinguished, or the black fog in the city was too big, all the light sources disappeared, and he couldn't see his fingers, it was pitch black, and he couldn't hear any sound, and gradually his breathing stopped, and his brain was blank.
At this time, the record of the silk map is also quite obscure, only saying that later he escaped alone as a pioneer general, and when he woke up in a cave with black ore rock, he went out to inquire, and he had come to the great southern region of the Great Eastern Zhou! The black gang in the territory of the Huns is thousands of miles away!
He was frightened of a serious illness, knowing that he had committed the crime of killing his head and delaying the military plane, so he kept going to the cave to study what was going on, and in the end, it didn't take long for him to use the gold he brought out to buy a coffin, and recorded the whole thing and the map of the black gang on a silk map, he still didn't dare to leave his name when he was dying, he was afraid that the king would find his body and punish him for the nine clans.
The old white dog finished telling the story on the silk map, and said, "Alas...... In fact, if it weren't for the knife on my neck, I wouldn't dare to talk about it! ”
My grandfather sighed and said to me, "Baby, this vanguard general is the third legend I want to tell you all at that time, but there are some differences." ”
He frowned, and asked the white old dog again, "What's the matter?" Why don't you dare to say it? ”
I raised my horsewhip and shook it, pointed at the old white dog and said, "Say it quickly! Don't talk about eating whips, believe it or not, I'll blind your dog's eyes! ”
The old white dog was frightened and hurriedly stammered: "Alas...... Oh! Guo Guo ...... Guo Da...... Son, why are you so terrible! You hate you more than the Japs! I said I said ......"
I coughed and said, "Long-winded big radish (Bu), fart quickly!" ”
The white old dog said: "That Kojiro's father, after listening to the old gentleman, actually foamed at the mouth and died, now his eldest son Taro is the leader of our Zhao family tunzi, today I am with his younger brother Kojiro to catch the strong man, tomorrow he will reclaim that black gangzi!" ”
As soon as Bai Laogou said this, suddenly, Wang Fatzi, who had been silent, screamed miserably.
I immediately turned to look at him.
