20 Dragon Scales
My heart moved, and I suddenly thought of the dragon-like creature I saw in the illusion, but on the surface it was calm, "Oh? Is there really a dragon? That can't be! ”
Seeing that I didn't believe it, he was more serious, "There really is, I didn't lie to you!" The Yellow River Dragon Cave below was left by the sea dragon when it borrowed the Tao in the Tang Dynasty, and there really was a dragon in it, so that mountain is an excellent feng shui treasure land! ”
I looked at Shulan, "Do you think it's possible?" ”
Shu Lan understood what I meant, smiled slightly, and shook his head, "Unlikely." ”
Seeing that the beauties didn't believe it, Li Hong was really a little excited, "You don't believe it, do you?" Okay, I'll show you the real thing! ”
The old man hurriedly grabbed him, "Mr. Li! ”
He glanced at the old man, "It's okay, I've recognized the brother of the pony, show him nothing!" With that, he stood up, "You wait for me, and I'll be back soon." ”
I smiled, "Good! ”
The old man and Sun Shengren looked at each other and sighed in unison.
A few minutes later, Li Hong came back with a box, put it on the table, and looked at the two of us, "Brother, you are so powerful, can you guess what is in this?" ”
I looked at the box and thought, "Wen Ying, what's inside?" ”
"It's dragon scales," Wen Ying replied.
I was stunned, "Is that really a dragon down there?" ”
"I haven't been to that underground river, so I can't say if it's true," she said, "but it's a dragon scale in this box." ”
"Okay, got it", I looked at Li Hong, "it's in here...... Is it dragon scales? ”
Li Hong smiled and gave a thumbs up, "Brother is amazing, that's right, it's dragon scales!" He opened the box and took out a blackened blue scale, about the size of an adult's palm, and was hard and translucent.
I frowned, "This thing...... Where did you get it? ”
"It's by the river under that mountain," he sat down, "If you want to say that this mountain is a treasure mountain, in the past, I heard the old man say that it has a dragon cave underground, so since the Tang Dynasty, many rich people have secretly buried their graves on that mountain." When the tomb robbers from all over the world come to Luoyang, they all love to go to Beibi Mountain, and only those who have knowledge, ability and courage dare to stare at this mountain. ”
I nodded, "No wonder Mr. Li sets this rule, so smart!" ”
He smiled proudly, "Brother, I love to hear what you say, you are an understanding person, so I won't hide it." There are many ancient tombs on the mountain, and they are often the tombs of the wealthy families in ancient times. I have covered that area for fifty years, and it is all around me and my property, except for the mountain, which I never touch, but I also do not let anyone enter or leave at will. If those tomb robbers want to enter the mountain, they have to come and worship my mountain gate and do things according to my rules. Dig out the treasure to divide me seventy percent, I can't dig it out, in addition to life and death, I have to leave a loan fee. So as long as the legend of the Yellow River Dragon Cave is still there, this mountain is a fucking golden mountain! ”
I smiled, "What does Mr. Li mean, do you treat us as tomb robbers?" ”
He waved his hand, "You're not!" At first, I really thought you were, after all, you were introduced by Huang Laoer, and he was a tomb robber, so I naturally regarded you as his peer. But we don't know each other, I have seen your methods, and those tomb robbers are not all the way, you have the ability, so you want to go into the mountain, not for one or two bright weapons, you are going to do a big deal, right? ”
I smiled calmly and said noncommittally, this kind of question, not answering is the best answer.
He felt that he had guessed correctly, so he smiled, asked the old man to get out of the way, sat down next to me and held my hand, "Brother, can I ask, what you want to go into the mountain to find, is it the immortal object?" ”
My heart moved, and I grabbed his hand, "You can see everything?" ”
When I asked him, I immediately figured out some secrets in his heart.
He is a descendant of the Li Tang royal family, and he inherits a secret in their family, there is a real dragon guarding a treasure in the Dragon Cave of the Yellow River, which can make people immortal. And once this treasure reappears in the world, the Wheel Saint King will also descend on the world, bringing a catastrophe to the world......
Wu Zetian worshiped Buddha and suppressed Taoism back then, and was once said by a senior monk to be the Holy King of the Wheel. The treasure in the Dragon Cave of the Yellow River is said to have some relationship with the Wheel Saint King, so Wu Zetian lost his throne soon after the sea dragon borrowed the Dao. Li Hong's ancestors believed that there was an inevitable connection between the two, so they left an ancestral precept that future generations should protect the dragon cave of the Yellow River to prevent someone from digging up the treasure and causing chaos in the world......
Knowing that this was only a momentary matter, Li Hong did not see anything unusual in my expression.
"Brother, although you are young, you are not the kind of person who does small business", Li Hong looked at me, "It's just that the Yellow River Dragon Cave is extremely dangerous, eight years ago, Huang Lao's second brother and four people went in, three died, and only one came out and went crazy." I just found this dragon scale by the river when I was leading people to look for him. Brother, are you sure? ”
I looked at the dragon scales and smiled, "What do you see? ”
"Good!" He nodded, "It is said that there are many valuable treasures in the dragon cave, I have a reluctant request, can you take me in and have a look......"
"Mr. Li!" The old man couldn't help it, "You shouldn't have this thought, it's too dangerous in there!" ”
"Yes, Mr. Li, you have to be cautious", Sun Shengren also said.
Li Hongyi frowned, "I know what I'm doing, how many times have I told you, don't always stop me, this is my dream, do you understand the dream?" ”
The two looked at each other, and they couldn't say anything.
Li Hong continued to turn to me, "Brother, as long as you promise to take me in to have a look, we will divide the other treasures into four or six points, and you can take the treasures away, how about it?" ”
He believed in the legends of his ancestors, but he didn't believe that there were really any immortal treasures, and he wanted to go in to see the mysterious true dragon.
"The treasure of immortality, you are also willing to give it?" I looked at him, "Don't regret it?" ”
"I don't believe in immortality!" He waved his hand, "I won't tell you, my family's ancestor is the clan of the Tang Dynasty, and the treasure was found by Wu Zetian, isn't she immortal?" The ancients were superstitious, and many things were evil, but in fact they were not so exaggerated at all. I want to go in to see the real dragon, this thing has such big scales, how big is the real thing? I'm curious about this! ”
I shook my head, "It's not okay to be curious, what if it's really dangerous?" I don't dare to take that responsibility. ”
"You're thinking too much about this!" He hurriedly said, "I'm not afraid of danger, the days are so peaceful now, I'm not afraid of taking risks!" Brother, as long as you promise me, even if something happens, I will never blame you, and no one will ever find your account! ”
I looked at him, "Really? ”
"Really!" He swore by it.
I thought about it for a while, "It's still not good, if we don't take you, it's much easier for us to go in by ourselves, take you, you won't know anything, then what if it's ......" I looked embarrassed.
He slapped his thigh, "That's it! I'll give you 20 million first, which is considered ...... I'm asking you to take me in, okay? ”
Shu Lan coughed lightly and glanced at me, which meant that I should not agree.
I pondered for a moment, "Mr. Li, are you really curious?" ”
He glanced at the old man and nodded, "Yes!" ”
I smiled calmly, and said in my heart that there must be something here, and I can't hold his hand anymore, but I can let Wen Ying handle this matter.
"Wen Ying", I said silently in my heart, "why does he have to go in?" ”
A warm voice soon came from his ears, "Master, the old man told him that using the water that the real dragon has drunk and adding ground dragon scales into medicine can make people rejuvenate, and they can prolong their life for more than 100 years if they take it once." ”
It turned out that it was still for this, but Li Hong didn't believe in legends, but believed in this old fool around him.
Seeing that I was silent, he was a little anxious, "Brother, okay?" 20 million is not enough? Then I'll add another 10 million, 30 million for you, is that enough? ”
I thought about it for a moment, "Okay, give it to me tonight, and I'll promise you." ”
"Okay, I'll give you 10 million first, and then I'll give you 10 million tomorrow, and after I get out of there, I'll give you the last 10 million, how about it?" He looked at me.
I smiled Mo Ran and shook my head, "No, 20 million tonight, the last 10 million, give it to me when you come out, ask for cash." ”
He hesitated, "Okay! ”
I picked up my glass and said, "Okay, that's it!" ”
He also raised his glass, "But you have to make sure I come out alive, or the last million ......"
"Don't worry, I will let you come out safely", I smiled faintly, "Happy cooperation!" ”
This is a good thing, let's earn him 20 million first, as for his entry into the Dragon Cave, I will have my own way when the time comes.
Back in the room, we checked the enchantments and were relieved to see that they were intact.
"Let that awesome ghost out," I said to Shulan.
She nodded, took out a chopstick from her sleeve, pinched her fingers and silently recited a few incantations, brushed them on the chopsticks, and then threw the chopsticks to the ground.
"Don't be afraid, girl," I said, "if we were to harm you, you would have been scattered." I know that you are sealed here, there must be grievances, withdraw from the ghost, show your true colors, tell your grievances, and we will call the shots for you. ”
The female ghost didn't seem to believe it, and her lifeless pure black eyeballs looked at me, and then at Shulan, hesitating.
"I'll just say it once," I stared at her, "and if you don't listen, then don't blame us." ”
The female ghost knelt down, and then a light came out of her body, and she turned into a young and beautiful girl.
"Two masters, I am a soul who was tortured to death by Li Hong, and the corpse is hidden in the basement of this building, and they made it into a specimen", the female ghost sobbed and said, "They not only sealed my corpse, but also sealed my ghost in this building, I have no way to take revenge, and I can't go to reincarnation, I hope the two masters will help me, if I get revenge, I will be a cow and a horse in the next life, and repay you......"
Another one is going to be a cow and a horse.
I looked at Shulan, "What do you say?" ”
"We have to find her body to break her seal," Shulan said, "and we can't get into the basement." ”
"Master......" the female ghost cried, "please save me!" ”
"And do you want revenge?" I asked.
She hesitated for a moment, "If the master saves me, then my hatred ......" She wanted to say that she would not revenge, but I could see that she was so angry that it was impossible to let go of this hatred.
I understood, "Do you think that we were invited by Li Hong?" ”
She looked up at us, "Isn't it?" ”
I smiled calmly and shook my head, "Girl, I'll ask him for your body tomorrow, and let them send you back to your hometown and be buried in peace." However, you are a powerful ghost, unless you are overtaken or avenged, otherwise the resentment is too heavy to be reincarnated. In this way, if you promise me one condition, then I will allow you to have a grudge to repay, and a revenge to take revenge......"
