Chapter 227: Ground Split
"Doesn't it say that the Dan medicinal porcelain bottle is the best? Why do you think the owner of this tomb didn't use a porcelain vase but a gourd? I wondered.
"Are you stupid? Where was there porcelain in that era? Yan Xiaoying pursed her lips and glared at me with strange eyes.
"You don't understand this."
I shook my head and said noncommittally: "Actually, Chinese porcelain was born very early, thousands of years ago. In the Fenglongshan cultural site in Shanxi, it is said that the original celadon found was born about 4,200 years ago, and the real porcelain developed in the Eastern Han Dynasty. ”
"As long as your culture is high, show off here."
Yan Xiaoying snorted coldly: "Or maybe the era of the Demon General's existence is even older than that?" ”
"That shouldn't be possible, right? You have also seen it before, the things in Fang Ding have not completely eroded, and the demon general may be an ancient, but the period in which it is located should not be too long. Moreover, in the burial ditch inside the centipede, there are also porcelain fragments. I said.
"Why did you just get into the horns? Maybe porcelain was not popular in that era? You must know that the land of Baiyue, whether it is ancient or modern, is relatively backward compared to other places due to special geographical circumstances. Besides, people don't use porcelain bottles to fill elixirs, does it matter? ”
"Oh...... I was just curious. I touched my nose and smirked.
After speaking, I casually threw the gourd in my hand on the ground, but after the gourd hit the ground, I flicked two, and suddenly the sound of something rolling inside came out.
"There is still an elixir in the gourd!"
When I heard this strange sound, I was overjoyed, and hurriedly picked up the discarded gourd again, pulled out the stopper, and poured it out.
Sure enough, I poured out a thumb-thick, dark green elixir from the porcelain bottle.
The color of this elixir looks a little strange, and the smell it emits is also very special, how can you say that smell...... It's a bit stinky......
"What kind of elixir is this? Can you eat it? ”
Yan Xiaoying took the green pill from my hand and looked at it, but she didn't see the reason for it, and there was nothing marked on the gourd.
In the end, Yan Xiaoying shook her head and handed the green pill back to me: "This green pill doesn't look right, before you figure it out, you'd better not eat it indiscriminately, otherwise the consequences will be unpredictable......"
"Hmm!"
I nodded in response, thinking that the camel couldn't be so kind to leave us any elixir, this is a poisonous elixir......
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that it was possible, and I wanted to throw it away, but I felt that it was a pity, so I finally found a gourd bottle that looked quite small, stuffed the green pill into it, handed it to Yan Xiaoying, and said, "You should keep this thing." ”
Yan Xiaoying glanced at me and didn't make a sound, but took the gourd and hung it on her waist.
I looked at her waist, and then I realized that the rope we had tied to our body was still tied to each other at this time, and now I saw that the rope on my waist was untied.
Yan Xiaoying wrapped the corpse rope around her waist one by one, pointed to another copper ring outside the stone gate, and said in a low voice: "After that copper ring, it may also be a stone room." ”
The two of them walked out, and I pulled the brass ring, and sure enough, another stone door opened.
Yan Xiaoying's guess was right, it was indeed a narrow stone room inside, and like the one just now, there was a groove in the innermost wall of the stone room, and a gourd was held in the groove.
I didn't give up, so I went in and rummaged through it, but I was disappointed.
The two of them withdrew from the stone room, walked along the passage, walked more than ten meters and found the copper rings on the rock walls on the left and right sides of the passage.
After walking more than ten meters, I found the iron ring again, but after pulling it open, I still didn't find anything.
I walked all the way to the fifth group of stone chambers, pulled the copper ring to open the stone door, and looked into the stone chamber before I found it.
This time, we found a black iron cage in the stone room, and there was nothing in the cage, but judging from this situation, this may be the place where the demon will use to store alchemy.
The things that the demons will use to refine the elixir are not only elixirs, but also living things, and there may have been something alive in this iron cage before......
In the seventh group of stone chambers, we found the skeleton of a human corpse in the stone chamber.
The eighth group of stone chambers has animal bones.
When we came to the door of the ninth group, the flame of the lamp in Yan Xiaoying's hand suddenly shook, and the flame was dark and extinguished, as if it would be extinguished at any time.
What's even more strange is that the color of the flame has changed, from the original reddish yellow to pale green.
And, I don't know if it's my delusion, I seem to feel the wind blowing on my body, and there seems to be a faint layer of fog in the passage, and the temperature around me has also increased.
"It's weird!" Yan Xiaoying said in a deep voice: "The smell here is a little different, I feel a little dizzy and breathing!" ”
Yan Xiaoying rubbed her forehead, looked at the faint green flame in her hand again, and said in a deep voice: "In this case, if there is either something evil in this place, or there is poisonous gas in the air, Tianyan, be careful!" ”
In fact, I felt okay, and I didn't feel uncomfortable breathing as Yan Xiaoying said, but I still nodded.
At this time, I glanced at it, and suddenly saw an oval hole under the copper ring, and said in surprise: "The door of this stone chamber is broken......
"Fluttering!"
Before I could finish my sentence, there was a sudden sound of flapping wings from the depths of the passage.
Hiss!
Yan Xiaoying and I were in a moment of surprise when we suddenly saw a small, red snake crawling towards us from the depths of the darkness.
In the faint light, I saw that it was a thumb-thick, red snake, wasn't it the little red snake that lured the golden rooster away before?
The little red snake appeared here, so could it be that we heard the sound of flapping wings just now......
Stooping down to pick up the little red snake from the ground, the latter wrapped around my arm and swallowed the letter, looking a little languid, its body shedding a lot of scales, and it was not lightly injured.
"Isn't it that the golden rooster and the flying centipede king are fighting in the depths of the passage? Let's go and see! ”
Yan Xiaoying frowned and said in a deep voice, then guarded the lamp with one hand and cautiously touched the depths of the passage.
Seeing this, I hurriedly caught up, because I was afraid that something would happen to her, so I rushed ahead of her.
The two walked twenty or thirty meters in the passage, during which they did not see the secret door of the copper ring.
There was a white mist visible to the naked eye in front of us, which was not like ordinary mountain fog, and it was a little strange.
The sound of flapping wings was getting closer and closer, and the next moment, I only felt that my eyes suddenly became open, and in front of me was a huge pitch-black space.
After a closer look, I found that there was an underground crack seven or eight meters wide in front of me, I don't know how deep and long, and the cloud mist rose from under the crack.
Fluttering!
The sound of flapping wings also came from under the crack, and Yan Xiaoying followed from behind at this time, and the two of them guarded the lamp, squinting and looking under the crack.
I saw the clouds and mist surging at the bottom of the crack, and two black shadows could be faintly seen in the mist, sometimes entangled, sometimes separated, fighting fiercely.
In addition, I also found that countless black wooden boxes appeared on the cantilevers of the cracks, densely packed, like beehives put together.
It's just that at the moment, these boxes are hanging under the cliffs, and as far as the eye can see, there are no less than dozens of wooden boxes.
"It's a coffin!"
Yan Xiaoying saw the wooden box under the cliff and said in a deep voice: "There are so many cliff hanging coffins, could it be that this is really the ancient tomb of the demon general?" ”
As she spoke, she took out the Iron Claw Flying Rope she had picked up earlier, fastened it to the edge of the cliff, and then pulled the rope and slid down to the black coffin closest to us.
Fearing for her safety, I also slipped down with an iron rod.
In addition to the different colors, this black hanging coffin is about the same size as the coffin we usually use for funerals in the village, with a large head and small feet, wide at the top and narrow at the bottom.
Probably because of the long time, the coffin board is covered with a layer of moss, which is very slippery for people to step on, but there is no decay, and the wood made into the black coffin should be very precious.
Yan Xiaoying glanced at the black coffin under her feet, then took a deep breath, only to see her suddenly open her arms and jump down.
"Beware!"
Her sudden action undoubtedly startled me a lot, you must know that this crack is bottomless, isn't it suicidal to jump like this?
Bang!
The probe looked down and found that Yan Xiaoying had landed on a hanging coffin a few meters below.
Seeing that she was fine, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "Xiaoying, you can frighten me, what if the coffin is unstable and falls?" You've always called me reckless before, don't you think you're doing the same now? ”
Yan Xiaoying stabilized her body below, looked up at me, and said, "It's okay, there are several horizontal beams nailed to the rock wall at the bottom of the black coffin, as long as it is not the weight of Lao Fei, there will be no danger." ”
"That being said, but your strength has not yet recovered, in case one of them is unstable, wouldn't it be in vain for Lao Tzu to spend so much effort to save you before?" I was dissatisfied.
"Do you want me to write you a thank you note, or do you have to send a pennant? Okay, don't talk so much, can't you come down? ”
As she spoke, she suddenly stretched out her hand and pointed to a certain position in the depths of the crack and said in a deep voice: "Just now I vaguely saw the beam of a flashlight appear in that place, it may be the second master or the camel." ”
"Of course, you get out of the way and make room for me to settle."
I shouted, and immediately jumped down with an iron rod in one hand and an oil lamp in the other towards the hanging coffin where Yan Xiaoying was below.
The two hanging coffins were only about three meters apart, and even ordinary people could easily jump off this height, and with my current physical strength, it was as easy as the stairs.
However, in mid-air, I immediately regretted it.
Because I was holding an oil lamp in my hand, which had no windshield and was not like a flashlight, it would go out at the slightest hint of wind.
At this jump, before the person got to Yan Xiaoying's side, the oil lamp in his hand went out with a pop.
The only light source in our hands disappeared, and the surroundings were plunged into endless darkness for a moment, and we couldn't see our fingers.
Shrouded in darkness and unable to see, my whole body suddenly panicked.
Fortunately, the location of the whereabouts has been fixed, and although there is no light, I still safely landed on the hanging coffin where Yan Xiaoying was.
"You ......"
Yan Xiaoying held me up, and just as I wanted to speak, there was a sudden cracking sound of the hanging coffin under my feet, and then the whole hanging coffin began to tilt.
It turned out that I jumped from it with an iron rod weighing dozens of pounds in my hand, and the inertia and the weight of the iron rod were almost the same as the weight of the old fat, and the horizontal wood under the hanging coffin could not withstand such a crash force at all, and it was broken.
The black coffin tilted, and Yan Xiaoying and I, who were standing on it, were caught off guard.
Seeing that the hanging coffin was about to fall, I was so frightened that I hurriedly threw the iron rod in my hand, hugged Yan Xiaoying, estimated a general position, kicked the hanging coffin with both feet, and jumped down.
The moment I jumped out, the beam under the hanging coffin could no longer bear the loud click, and the black coffin fell towards the bottom of the crack......
