Chapter 19: Who?
The two chose to enter through the mouth of the ghost mountain, and kept looking behind them, as if they were worried that those puppets would chase after them, Luan Jingjing smiled brightly, "Don't be afraid, they won't chase after them." β
"Huh? How do you know? β
Luan Jingjing covered her lips with her hand, "I just know." β
Soon after the two disappeared, a panting figure emerged from the waterhole, the figure was very embarrassed, with multiple injuries all over the body, because of the thin clothes she was already wearing, and now she looked even more skinny, she walked forward step by step, leaving a large puddle of water stains, like a drowning water ghost.
"Damn the monster, damn my monster!"
The water ghost repeated this sentence over and over again, like a ghost seeking his life at the bridgehead in the middle of the night.
Before, Li Green Ant saw the glass top under the water, but he couldn't speak, but now he came to the water, which means that he can meet with the nest melon.
After passing through the ghost's head, I didn't go beyond the mile, and I saw two huge tall buildings rising one after another in front of me. The whole tower body is made of large pieces of bluestone, and it is square in a single layer. The top of the tower is built with 23 rows of stone slabs shrinking and stacking layer by layer, forming a four-corner pointed cone, and half of the circular arches are opened on each side of the four sides. From a distance, I was emotional, but I felt that it was about 500 feet high, 250 feet long, and lived in the air from the ground. All kinds of treasures and Zhuang school, five thousand columns, tens of millions of niches, countless flags to be strictly decorated, hanging treasures, treasure rings trillion and hanging on it. On the top and hang the copper hole nine times, and the lower is the heavy pavilion road. Under the tower are rows of pavilions, which are beautiful.
Although seeing the abruptness of this pagoda in the tomb is inevitably a little gloomy, but the construction of this pagoda is really beautiful, and the gloomy meaning has been alleviated a lot.
Li Luant muttered to himself, "I don't know what kind of place this is? β
Luan Jingjing said meaningfully: "Didn't you go to Nazhai Village before?" There are sharks who can't get out of the shackles, maybe this place is for those who can get out of the shackles, high-level sharks. β
Hearing this sentence of "high", Li Luant glanced at Luan Jingjing in surprise: Luan Jingjing's attitude towards this merman, because she has been persecuted by him, but she is very disgusted, why is there still some admiration in her words now?
Luan Jingjing herself didn't notice this, looking at this pagoda with some complicated eyes, Li Luant originally wanted to go in to confirm that Wogua and the others were not inside, but Luan Jingjing said on the side that more is better than less, and this tower looks like it has an extraordinary origin, maybe there is a trap deliberately set by Fan Li in it, it is not necessarily, it is better not to look for trouble.
There is a bit of truth in this, and Luan Jingjing insists on this, as if there is still some hidden meaning in her words, Li Luant thought that when Black Glasses appointed Luan Jingjing as the team leader before, she had also told her many things, maybe Luan Jingjing knew that there were some other things in this Fan Li's gold collection, and the unknown things were not necessarily, so she no longer insisted.
The two walked for a long time, unexpectedly, it was extremely smooth, and it almost reached the level of Tongqu Avenue, which made Li Luant really surprised: no matter where he went with Luan Jingjing before, he would always meet those creatures about the merman clan, why didn't he meet any of them here? Can't those things get in here?
No, you can't underestimate those.
After walking a short distance, suddenly the ground became smooth, and the tomb bricks became a little slippery, Li Luant stopped and looked, there seemed to be something like tiles under the floor tiles, and suddenly his mind moved: Is it a glazed tile?
When I opened the floor tiles, I saw that they were glazed tiles!
But looking down from this glazed tile, I really can't see the space below, but Li Green Ant knows that below this is the endless deep sea.
Now that you have met glazed tiles here, then you can't go far further -
Sure enough, I came to the tomb I saw below before, the tomb where the Wogua and his party were sitting, and the cookie crumbs were still on the ground, they came, they really came!
There are four joys in life: a long drought and a rainstorm, and a hometown where you know your hometown; The cave room spends candle night, when the gold list is inscribed. If you are not a person with a medium taste, you can't understand the feeling of leaving the group for a long time, and now that you are finally about to join the nest melon, Li Green Ant naturally dances with her hands: as long as you follow this road, you will soon be able to see them.
Luan Jingjing's face didn't use too much joy, Li Luant thought that she had experienced that scene, so because she was physically and mentally exhausted, she took out the water source in her backpack and gave it to her, with some apologies, "There is no food, but the water source is still sufficient, as long as you find them, you can have something to eat immediately." β
Luan Jingjing held the kettle and looked at Li Luan who was a little peely on his mouth, "Don't you drink?" β
Li Luant waved his hand: "I'm not thirsty yet." β
Holding the kettle, Luan Jingjing lowered her head inexplicably, not knowing what she was thinking.
Next to the pagoda that I passed by before-
The water ghost who had been following the footprints of Li Green Ant stayed here, looked deeply at this exquisite pagoda, and when he was about to go in, he found that there was no trace of Li Green Ant entering on the ground in front of the door, and he couldn't help but be very strange: Didn't they go in?
Look into the distance: since I didn't go in, then I'm going to go in.
About an hour later, Luan Jingjing fell asleep on Li Luant's shoulder, Li Luant was originally going to leave here, but Luan Jingjing was sleepy, so she had to rest here first. Thinking they hadn't closed their eyes for almost two days, it was no wonder she was tired.
Thinking about where Wogua and his party would go, Li Luant became deeply worried.
In front of a ruined city gateβ
Wogua and his party came to the city gate not far from one after another, and the city gate was very dilapidated, just like the abandoned city after experiencing wolf smoke and beacon fire in ancient times.
"Blind Wang, didn't you say that you can find the shell lang in another place? Why did we look for this way, and we didn't even see the shadow of the shell? β
The blind man said, "There are only three roads here, this is the last road we take, if he is not here, where can he be?" Is it to go underwater? But you have also seen it, how long can ordinary people stay in the deep pool that is thousands of miles underwater? β
However, this is the reason, but I don't want to say it, Li Luant and Luan Jingjing really stayed underwater for a long time, and then they came to the water after many hardships.
Su Jiu didn't seem to be very enthusiastic about looking for Li Luant, so he didn't speak along the way, Qin Pianpian was as anxious as the gold ingot, and what he saw when he pushed open the city gate was as if he had guessed outside, it was a dilapidated city tower, nothing special, there was a lot of ash on the ground, it seemed that this city had been abandoned for a long time.
"The corpse of the black fish spirit we saw before, is it a mermaid?"
The language of Wogua is not shocking and endless, Qin Pianpian helplessly, "If the mermaid is really so ugly, why are there countless poets chanting its appearance in ancient times?" Maybe it's just a monster, after all, in history, there are many carriers about the real existence of mermaids. β
The familiar image of the mermaid comes from the beautiful mermaid Lorele, which is often mentioned in medieval German legends and poems. She would often appear on the banks of the Rhine when it was dark, and with her cold and poignant appearance and mournful singing, she would distract the passing boatmen and disorient them, and finally sink to the bottom of the river.
Legend has it that the mermaid is bounded by the waist, the upper body is a beautiful woman, and the lower body is a beautiful fish tail covered with scales, and the whole body is both seductive and easy to escape quickly. They have no soul and are as merciless as the sea; Voices, like their appearances, are often deceptive; A combination of seduction, vanity, beauty, cruelty, and desperate love. Only the bronze sculpture of the mermaid with a human body and a fishtail on the west bank of the Vistula River in Warsaw, the capital of Poland, as a symbol of the hero city of Warsaw, is a combination of handsomeness and strength, like a warrior dressed in battle.
Similar to the legend of the European mermaid, but much earlier is the mermaid mentioned in the "Sou Shen Ji" of the Eastern Jin Dynasty of China and the "Shu Yi Ji" of the Southern Dynasty. In Lu You's "Hairpin Phoenix", the "shark silk" of "tear-stained red shark silk" is the scarf woven by the shark people. In Li Shangyin's "Jin Se", "the pearl of the sea and the moon has tears" also uses the legend of the merman.
Interestingly, similar to the Chinese mermaid who often cries, the mermaid is often used as a metaphorical symbol in European art, literature or painting, to symbolize very unfortunate events, such as the mermaid in Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale. In most literary works, the fate of the mermaid is very miserable, and in the end, there is no happiness.
It is also believed that the legendary "mermaid" is likely to be a marine mammal called "dugong", commonly known as "manatee".
When the female dugong is breastfeeding, she often holds her young on her forelimbs, and her head and chest are exposed to the water, looking like a woman holding a child from a distance. This is probably the origin of the legendary mermaid. At the same time, when she comes out of the water every half hour or so, especially at night, the seaweed on her head is like long hair, and the water dripping down the seaweed is like teardrops. This is probably the reason for "there are tears in the pearl of the sea and the moon".
In addition, a cartilaginous fish called a ray in the ocean, whose belly resembles a smiling human face, seems to have once become the embodiment of the study of the origin of the merman.
Before, because of the experience of the Fangla Underground Palace, the gold ingots really didn't have a good impression of the eight-legged creatures, especially reptile animals, so he asked Li Green Ant if there were any legs with few legs and beautiful looks, and Li Green Ant's answer at that time was "Shark Man", but I didn't expect to see it here.
The ghost town is empty, there is not a single ghost, before a group of people in order to come to find Li Green Ant, has been sleepless and walked far away, almost a long time has not slept well, because it is looking for his own shell corporal, even the favorite complaining nest melon does not say a word, but the effort and harvest are not proportional, making it very aggrieved.
Not far ahead, there was an open space, which seemed to be less dilapidated than before, but in the middle there was a chest that looked like a treasure chest hanging from the ceiling with four large iron chains hanging from the ceiling.
At first glance, it looked a bit like a coffin, but it was much smaller than a coffin, and if you looked closely, it was a box.
"Hey, you're pretty chic, little thing." Wogua smashed it with a Luoyang shovel, making a "clanging" sound on the surface, and pushed it tentatively, feeling that it didn't move much, "This thing is a little heavy." β
I don't know what's inside, but Wogua proposes to open it and take a look.
But the four corners of the open are firmly fixed by iron chains, and if you don't find a way to cut off the four iron chains, the box can't be opened.
Just when everyone was at a loss, Wogua once again, "Hey-it would be nice if the shit shell Lang was here, he could even grind a hole in the gun, and he could configure sulfuric acid by himself to rescue the thousand-year-old king eight, if only he were there." β
The three of them have already heard him say this sentence all over the way, anyway, when they encounter something, everyone else is a pig teammate, and no one is as good as Li Luant, but at that time, it was obviously his gold ingots who knocked him unconscious with a shovel!
Qin Pianpian couldn't help it, and was angry, "What's howling? What about the soul?! β
The gold ingots were stunned, Sister Butterfly has always been gentle and cute, why did she become a shrew after the shell Lang left recently?
Qin Pianpian glanced at the gold ingots indifferently, "Aren't you just going to open a box?" Get out of the way! β
But seeing Qin Pianpian take out a hairpin from his hair and tinker with the four iron chains for a while, Wogua curiously leaned over to take a look, "What are you looking at?" β
"What are you doing?"
Qin Pianpian glanced at him, "Do you know why you have such a big tumor on your head?" I had to join in the fun, so I was knocked on the head by the doctor who delivered the baby when I was born. β
"Click", under the gaze of Wogua, Qin Pianpian opened the iron cable in three strokes and five divided by two, although the box has not been opened yet, but the iron cable is opened, and the lock on the box must not be a problem for Qin Pianpian at all.
In Jin Yuanbao's heart, Qin Pianpian's figure suddenly became taller, and while Wang Blind and Su Jiu were studying the box, he lame to the side, and secretly said, "Sister Butterfly, originally a friend's wife can't be bullied, but I see that the kid who has a new love and forgets the old love, let's one by one, no one should rob anyone, you see that tonight is a long night, why don't we twoββ"
"Let's go to Yellow Springs?"
"It's a good night together!" The literary style of the wogua can often achieve qualitative changes when the sister is the sister.
Qin Pianpian casually "Oh? That took advantage of the darkness of the night and the high wind, and the crowd was overwhelmingβ"
"Wait, there are so many people?"
Qin Pianpian pretended not to know, "Don't you want to be overwhelmed-"
Jin Yuan took a deep breath, turned sideways awkwardly, and tilted half of his face, "It turns out that Sister Butterfly likes to play like this?" "I shuddered again: Society, you Sister Qin, Renmei Lu Ziye, was so frightened that she trembled, "Don't don't, I just said nonsense, it's okay, it's okay, let's go ahead and open the box." β
The gold ingots secretly glanced at Qin Pianpian again: Beauty is beautiful, but she is a black widow, she has been broken by the spider spirit, other people's wives should not be worried, leave it to the shell lang to enjoy, and when Luan Beauty comes back, I will work with her again to see if she can be one of the wives of the four rooms.
Maybe, maybe, but we dare not say. There may be rumors, but I am afraid it seems that it is not likely.
There is a ghost town in front, empty, but the city gate has been opened, Li Luant carefully found that there seems to be a very new handprint on the city gate, and the interval between the handprints is very small, indicating that this person's fingers are very fat: it is a gold ingot!
Li Luant was overjoyed, and was about to move forward, when suddenly Luan Jingjing fell into his arms as soft as a boneless.
"What's wrong with you?"
Luan Jingjing slightly, "I suddenly felt dizzy, I'm afraid I'm freezing in the water, hug me quickly." After speaking, he leaned into Li Luant's arms, Li Luant didn't know why, he only felt that Luan Jingjing's body was hot and scary, and he really thought she was sick, so he was going to take off his clothes and put it on her, but Luan Jingjing took Li Luant's hand and pressed it to his heart, "Listen, how fast my heart is beating, I'm afraid I'm really sick." β
This location β
Li Luant's old face turned red, although Luan Jingjing just put his hand to his heart, but this position was too close to his chest, and Luan Jingjing was different from Qin Pianpian, Qin Pianpian was that kind of skinny beauty, but Luan Jingjing was better than being thin and convex and backward, in this case-
Li Luant hurriedly withdrew his hand, and said, "Miss Luan, I'm afraid it's not good to do this, since you're sick, let's find a place for you to rest first." β
"Aren't you looking for them?"
Li Luant subconsciously wanted to say "Of course I am looking for it", but he felt that Luan Jingjing didn't seem to like what he said, and immediately said, "Naturally, everything is based on your body." β
Luan Jingjing was very happy when she heard this.
I'm going to be vexatious, unless my husband hugs me.
Li Luant turned around and squatted down, Luan Jingjing said strangely, "What are you doing?" β
"Aren't you sick? Come up, I'll carry you. β
The corners of Luan Jingjing's mouth bent, very pleasant, and naturally unceremoniously got on Li Luan's back, Li Luan Lingjing carried Luan Jingjing, there was a very wonderful feeling, this feeling was not the love of men and women, it seemed to be a simple feeling of being close to nature while walking on the grass, and some of the original doubts were also diluted in an instant.
It's just that Luan Jingjing's weight is extremely light, and Li Luant feels that she is only a few dozen catties after checking it, and she is a little confused: Is this kind of bony beauty popular now?
The two of them had walked a short distance, but there was a voice in front of them.
"I said, "The king is blind, will you do it? You can't let Sister Butterfly come, such a big lock just opened in three or two clicks. β
"You can do it, the old man hates to work the most, and there are descendants next to him."
"Do I have to teach him how to refrigerate a refrigerator if I praise it?"
"You don't know how to refrigerate, but you have to know how it works."
"Hey, you old fellowβ"
The blind man was pouting his ass to open the lock, the reason was that Qin Pianpian was about to open the lock just now, and the gold ingots teased her a few words, and now she is not in a good mood, and this box doesn't look like a coffin, Qin Pianpian is too lazy to do it, and this errand naturally falls on the initiator Jin Yuanbao.
But the gold ingots won't open the lock, this dead beggar dragged the blind man of the king, this asked someone to do something, and he himself dragged it like 2580,000, this must be the gold ingot.
Li Luant was overjoyed, and Luan Jingjing's face flashed a trace of ruthlessness: Damn, there are at least three paths that fork in the road, have they still encountered them?
"Wogua! Elegant! Elder Wang! β
Li Luant waved his hand very happily, but he didn't expect that the four people on the other side just glanced up at him lightly, and immediately lowered their heads to unlock the lock.
it? How is this different from the scene of reuniting after a long absence, hugging and crying?
"I said, Wogua, can you see me?"
"Nonsense." Impatient, but said to the blind king, "Hurry up, hurry up!" β
"Can you see me why?"
"You can pull it, maybe it is Fan Li's gold and silver treasures, how can you have gold to attract people."
I confirmed the eyes, this is Wogua himself.
Originally, the rest of the people who were on the side were obviously also interested in Fan Li's treasure, but Qin Pianpian saw Luan Jingjing who was on Li Luant's back, and was furious on the spot, "Who is she?" β
Luan Jingjing panicked in her heart: Was she discovered?
"Who is she?"
Qin Pianpian had a little anger on her face, and when Li Luant saw this, Luan Jingjing fell from her back, pressed Qin Pianpian's outstretched fingers, and couldn't cry or laugh, "What's wrong with you?" She's Luan Jingjing. β
"I know she's Luan Jingjing, what I'm asking is, why did you hug and hug her when you didn't see her for a while? She's not Luan Jingjing at all, she's a vixen! β
Luan Jingjing's eyebrows unconsciously raised a point when she heard this, but her smile was already a little relaxed, and she pretended to be slumped in Li Luant's arms without knowing it, "I hit it off with Team Member Liu at first sight, Team Member Liu is very concerned about me, I don't know what dissatisfaction this girl has?" β
Qin Pianpian was so angry that she pulled Li Luant away, "You stay away from him!" β
Li Luan ant was pulled away, Luan Jingjing almost fell down when she had no strength to rely on, stood up, and glanced at her a little reluctantly, Qin Pianpian was constantly counting Li Luan, telling how much effort a group of people had made to find him, and her words were full of care, Luan Jingjing saw this, her eyes flashed, revealing a little contempt.
Jin Yuanbao ate melons and ate pot-bellied poop next to him, and smacked his lips, "I said shell lang, our group of people turned their backs in order to find you, and we really thought that you had encountered an accident, this is not even I even bought life insurance that you will die after going out, and the beneficiary is all figured out, you actually ran out to play with women!" β
"Who is the beneficiary?" Li Luant stagnated.
"Then needless to say, the two of us are brothers with knives in both ribs, the beneficiaries of this kind of good thing, I will definitely divide a hundred insurance companies to buy you all the life, and the beneficiaries will fill in my name, you see this is called brotherhood." sneaked up next to Li Luant and poked him with his elbow, "I said brother, it's not good for you to occupy two public resources alone, the fortune teller said that I can marry four rooms in my life, or do you share one with me?" Breaking up with another? β
"Break up??" Li Luant was stunned, "Where did you break up?" β
"You scholars' affairs, you handle them the way you scholars, that old saying about breaking up?"
"You and the spring breeze are both passers-by, and I will follow the autumn water to catch the galaxy?"
"Not that!" Wogua raised his fingers, "Isn't there a sentence in that "Water Margin"? β
οΌοΌ There is a sentence in "Water Margin" that teaches people to break up?
Seeing that Li Luant was still not enlightened, Wogua was in a hurry, and made a gesture to serve tea, "That's the sentence, 'Da Lang, come, get up and drink the medicine'." β
β¦β¦β¦β¦
