Chapter 57: Blood Vine Flower
Tianyou and the three of them didn't dare to tell Twilight, besides, Twilight Xue had been with Qing'er for more than half a step today, and Tianyou didn't know what to say, so they simply let the two girls hide it.
Anyway, it's only been a day and they don't worry too much about Zhou Fan, with their understanding of Zhou Fan, there must be something unspeakable about that goods to stay, and more importantly, he is better alone than several people below, if no one comes back to report safety, the two girls will definitely fall out.
"Come and see." Tianyou was messing around in front of the computer for a long time, and suddenly shouted excitedly at Zimeng and Feng Long.
Twilight and Qing'er also looked at Tianyou with strange expressions, I don't know why he was so happy, and after looking at the things on Tianyou's computer screen, they suddenly felt uninterested.
A map appeared on Tianyou's monitor, and the exact point should be a map of the ancient city, this map is not a building street on the ground, but an underground map transmitted by satellite three-dimensional, and the three of Tianyou are whispering something around the map.
At this time, Zhou Fan didn't know that Tianyou and the others were worried about him, or he was still walking in the passage of the cave, and a trace of red light from nowhere made Zhou Fan stop.
Raising the torch in his hand and shining forward, the passage in front of him was not dark, but the sides and even the top of the passage were covered with strange flowers and vines, and the red light was emitted from the dense roots of the rattans.
"This, can't it be ......" Zhou Fan looked at the dark red light in front of him and was a little unsure, but in what he knew, except for that kind of plant, there would be no other plant with this shape and feeling: "Damn, if you try it, you can know if you try it." ”
Zhou Fan gritted his teeth and leaned the ancient sword in his hand against his body, and held a torch in the other hand to untie the wound that had been bandaged with gauze before, and after a day and a night of healing, the wound cut by the ancient sword in the palm of his hand had been half healed.
As long as you don't use too much force and touch the wound, it will be fine, Zhou Fan now untied the gauze and stretched out his palm and shook it fiercely, and the wound that had just healed not long ago broke again, and blood oozed out from the wound little by little.
Seeing that the wound was ruptured, Zhou Fan didn't care about the pain, his eyes stared at the dense rattan in front of him, and seeing that everything in front of him did not move at all, Zhou Fan looked at the wound on his hand with some doubts, and looked at the rattan in front of him again.
Gritted his teeth and clenched his fist again, the blood was already oozing through the wound and flowing out, and when Zhou Fan shook it so hard again, the blood flowed more rapidly, dripping down Zhou Fan's wrist to the empty cave on the ground.
"Click", although the sound of blood falling down was very small, but after the echo of the cave, it was very clear, the moment the blood just fell, Zhou Fan's body was also like a spring, and he immediately took a few steps backwards, and jumped back several meters without stopping.
Because the position where Zhou Fan was standing just now was surrounded by rattans in the sky, and the blood-red rattans were like death tentacles, densely occupying Zhou Fan's position.
Looking at everything in front of him, Zhou Fan frowned, took out gauze and Yunnan Baiyao to bandage himself, and when he got the wound healed again, he looked forward, and the original rattan returned to the wall and the top of the cave, one by one, covering the entire passage.
"What the hell is this, what the hell is this place? Why does such a place exist. Zhou Fan's gaze retracted from not far away, and he couldn't believe what he saw in front of him, because he didn't dare to believe that it was really this thing.
If anything can surprise Zhou Fan to see, then this thing in front of him is undoubtedly one of them, the dense rattan is not actually an ordinary rattan, but a plant called "Blood Vine Flower".
This plant has been extinct since ancient times. Historical records record that Yin Tang, the first monarch of the Yin Shang Dynasty, was about 1670 BC - 1587 BC, that is, Cheng Tang, whose surname is and whose name is shoe, reigned for 13 years, and then died of illness.
There are six burial sites, the most said being in "Hao" (north of present-day Shangqiu County, Henan Province), and because no one has been able to find his tomb so far.
It also adds a sense of mystery to the first monarch of the Yin Shang Dynasty, there are historical records that the "blood vine flower" is the totem god of the ancient Xia Dynasty, but there are also legends that the totem god of the Xia Dynasty is "bear", and the specific historiography cannot explain, because the existence of the Xia Dynasty has been debated.
And about the "blood vine flower" records are even less, according to legend, "blood vine flower" is the ancient Xia Dynasty worship of the gods, but also the Xia totem, the former ancient Xia Dynasty was still a primitive society, at that time people did not take animals as totem gods, but plants as totem gods.
The rhizome of "Blood Vine Flower" is blood red, the rattan is thick like a giant python, and each trunk rattan will grow seventeen and small rattans, growing one after another, implying the meaning of eternal and eternal for future generations.
"Blood vine flower" feeds on blood, if there is not enough blood to feed the "blood vine flower" will wither in less than a hundred years, Zhou Fan learned from the wild history that Yin Tang unified the Central Plains around 1686 BC, overthrew the Xia Dynasty and then died of illness in 13 years of reign.
Then he brought the totem artifact of the Xia Dynasty "Blood Vine Flower" into his mausoleum, one is to completely destroy the faith of the orphans left in the Xia Dynasty, and the other is to let no one dare to harass him after his death, and use the ten-mile "Blood Vine Flower" as the foreshadowing of the tomb, and there is no "Blood Vine Flower" in the world from then on.
This is also why Zhou Fan was so surprised to see this piece of rattan in front of him, if the Teng Sea in front of him is not a "blood vine flower", then what is it, but if it is really a "blood vine flower", then doesn't it mean that this is the mausoleum of Shang Tang, the king of Yin Shang, although Zhou Fan has some understanding of the history of ancient books, but this is too nonsense, how could the king of Yin Shang be buried here?
It is obviously a world of difference from Shangqiu, Henan, and the "blood vine flower" is the totem fetish of the Xia Dynasty, and Zhou Fan only knows about it in the records of the king of Shangtang.
Now the historiography has confirmed that the tomb of King Shangtang is in the north of Lin Yao Village, Shanhua Township, Yanshi City, but it is obviously not enough to rely on this judgment, and the tomb of King Shangtang in the north of Lin Yao Village, Shanhua Township, Yanshi City is known to Zhou Fan through insiders.
The mound of the first king of the Shang Dynasty, Shang Tang, it was first stolen and excavated in the late Western Zhou Dynasty in 2770 B.C., and there are no less than 100 holes stolen so far, and there is almost no more information left in it, but the historical circles are still announcing that the tomb of the Shang Tang King has never been stolen and excavated.
This is a bit too much to say, like Fengtang Tomb, Baoding Tang Tomb, Yucheng Tang Tomb, Shangqiu Tang Tomb, Bozhou Tang Tomb, etc., it may be a suspicious tomb, or it may be a real tomb, as for which one is a real mausoleum, it is unknown.
It's just that no matter how much you talk about it, it doesn't have anything to do with the ancient city, Zhou Fan is a little depressed now, how can anything be related to the ancient city tonight.
If he usually found out about this, he would definitely be overjoyed, but now the more things are related to the ancient city, the more strange he feels, it is obvious that the ancient city of Longzhou is not as he knows, there may be some secrets.
Finding the blood vine flower Zhou Fan was both excited and scared, not to mention whether this place has anything to do with the mausoleum of Yin Shang Wang Shangtang, the discovery of the blood vine flower alone is enough to shock the world, you must know that now this thing is extinct in the outside world, let alone seeing the body, it is difficult to find the record.
The dinosaurs of 140 million years ago are far enough away, but they are still recorded, so they do not have mystery, people with a little knowledge know that the blood vine flower is different, known as the totem god of the Xia Dynasty and even a divine object worship, from ancient times to the present, it can be said that there will be no more than 100 people who have seen this thing.
Now anyone who sees that kind of thing will have a strong interest, and the ancient Xia Dynasty legend says that the blood vine flower is the blood of the dragon, and when the vine flower turns into a dragon, it is the day when the dynasty ascends.
Now that it really appeared in front of Zhou Fan, it made him a little overwhelmed, and Zhou Fan didn't dare to take one more step forward, because now he didn't know if the Blood Vine Flower would attack him.
The Blood Vine Flower is more sensitive to blood than the Black Phosphorus Ma Lu, and now Zhou Fan has a smell of blood all over his body, he doesn't dare to take this risk, if his estimate is correct, this morning, when he was not confused, the thing wrapped around his ankle should be this Blood Vine Flower.
"Strange, why did the blood vine flower suddenly appear at the entrance, and I walked alone for more than ten hours without anything at all? That's not quite right, but if these things aren't blood vine flowers, then what would they be? If the python is not a reason why it has not attacked itself until now? ”
The more Zhou Fan thought about it, the more he felt a little messy, he had a deeper understanding of tombs and partial history, so he was just preconceived, he always thought it was an ancient coffin burial python Now it seems that he is very wrong, this underground space is far from as simple as he imagined.
Unconsciously, Zhou Fan fell into contemplation again, although it was the blood vine flower not far in front of him, but the distance was relatively far, and the blood vine flower would not smell the smell of blood and would not attack him.
Just when he wanted to be fascinated, "Shhh The sound of hiss interrupted his train of thought again, and Zhou Fan couldn't help but be vigilant when he heard the voice, originally suspecting that there would be a big python here.
Now hearing the sound of spitting out the letter like a snake, I have to make Zhou Fan vigilant, if he is swallowed by a python for no reason, then he will not even have a place to cry.
"Shhhhh The sound of "hiss" is getting louder and louder, and the frequency is getting faster and faster, and when you listen closely, it feels more like it is not made by the same thing, but more like there are many sounds made together.
"What's going on, are there still a lot of pythons in here?" Zhou Fan listened to the voice and felt a little abnormal: "Hehe, it seems that I was scared tonight, how could there be so many pythons here." As soon as his thoughts fell, Zhou Fan shook his head again and denied his thoughts just now, obviously this is also unlikely, a tomb with a python is already the limit, if there is one more, it can be understood.
The ancients paid attention to the yin and yang of heaven and earth, and burying an extra python was also in line with the style of the ancients, but now there are so many spitting voices that are obviously wrong, Zhou Fan will not be stupid enough to imagine that the ancients buried a bunch of pythons into the tomb, if that is completely meaningless, the tomb will directly become a snake's nest.
Zhou Fan just laughed at his childish thoughts, but the scene in front of him interrupted him vividly, looking at such a terrifying picture in front of him, Zhou Fan's whole body trembled, swallowed his saliva, and his body unconsciously retreated little by little.
