Chapter Forty-Seven: The Water Dragon King
Everyone rested for more than half an hour, and the fat man was already able to be helped to walk.
Zheng Lao looked up at the sky, then walked to the fat man's side to check his pulse, briefly inquired about his physical condition, then nodded, and said to Uncle Hu and Xu Annian.
"He's recovering well! We can move on! ”
Xu Annian happily patted the fat man's shoulder, then looked at the river with a deadly smile in front of him, and asked puzzledly
"Old Zheng, we can't cross this river, what should we do next?"
Zheng Lao walked to the river and looked left and right, only to see that the range as far as the eye could see was overgrown with weeds, and the trees were dense and messy growing casually, and their off-road vehicles could not drive in it at all.
"Grab your backpack and let's walk along the river to find our way!"
After Zheng Lao finished speaking, he pointed to the dense forest in front of him!
Seeing everyone's puzzled looks, he went on to explain
"There must be a way out ahead, and the section of the river where the outlaw laugh is located will not be too long! This bone worm has a strong sense of territory and will only gather in one area! ”
Everyone didn't refute it too much, after all, only Zheng Lao has the most knowledge here, and it must be right to listen to him!
Then he went back to the car to sort out their supplies, and after everyone was ready, Zheng Lao led everyone into the depths of the dense forest and walked slowly along the river!
Because the fat man was still relatively weak, and everyone's forward speed was relatively slow, Xu Annian helped the fat man to walk, looked at Zheng Lao intently looking at the river, and asked curiously as he walked
"Old Zheng, how do you know about this outlaw laughing?"
This sentence seemed to hit everyone's heart, and they all looked at Zheng Lao together.
Zheng Lao saw everyone's eager eyes and smiled
"You want to know?"
Everyone nodded,
Zheng Lao saw that everyone was a little nervous about the unfamiliar woods, so he wanted to relieve everyone's emotions, and told the story of the outlaw laughing faintly
"That was many years ago, I was in my early twenties, and that's when I first saw the death laugh!
At that time, I had a good friend who worshipped a master outside and came back with some skills, but this person had a shortcoming, that is, he was a little greedy for money and valued valuable things, so he wanted me to accompany him to find a treasure! ”
After speaking, Zheng Lao smiled embarrassedly, probably thinking that it was not good to say bad things about people behind his back.
"What kind of treasure is that? can enter your old eyes! ”
Wang Siyun was aroused by curiosity and hurriedly asked
"It is a natural jade bead for burial, and the legend of the rivers and lakes is that it can avoid water and open the way, and walk on the ground in the water, so everyone calls it the Water Dragon King, which means that with it, you can walk through the water like the Dragon King."
When the fat man heard this, he didn't care about his weak body, and shouted in surprise
"Old Zheng, are you tomb robbers?"
This sentence made Zheng Lao's face blush, and he hurriedly waved his hand
"I'm not, I'm not! I'm a friend begging me, I'm just doing him a favor out of the way, and he's not a tomb robber as you say, they have their own name, it's Captain Touchgold! ”
Xu Annian saw the fat man shouting out so disregardantly, and hurriedly pinched his arm gently, and then said in a round
"Is there such a treasure in the world? Mr. Zheng, tell me quickly, let us also increase our knowledge! ”
Zheng Lao concealed his embarrassment at this time, and hurriedly followed Xu Annian's words
"Actually, these are legends, and I haven't seen them with my own eyes, so I was also young and impulsive at the time, and when I heard that there was such a novelty, I couldn't help but want to see it.
My friend was quite skilled in this industry, and it didn't take long to determine the location of this tomb, but when we got there, we were stunned by the scene in front of us!
This tomb is not the usual tombs buried underground, but a clear tomb! ”
"Ming Tomb?"
Xu Annian was the first to ask, he had a strong interest in tomb robbery expeditions since he was a child, and hearing what Zheng Lao said involved this at this time made him excited!
Zheng Lao nodded,
"That's right, it's the Ming Tomb, the so-called Ming Tomb, that is, burying people directly on the ground, not going to the ground. Legend has it that this burial method allows the soul and body to remain in the world and continue to enjoy the life before death, but I don't know much about the specifics, after all, I don't have a deep understanding of this industry!"
Xu Annian nodded, waiting for Elder Zheng's next words
"So, when we got to the tomb, we saw his grave at a glance, and it was a primeval forest, similar to here, except that the foliage was more luxuriant, and it was nothing special.
The only thing that makes us strange is that around it, there is a circle of mounds river, this river is very interesting, the middle section of the river is clean and clear, the bottom can be seen, while the other places are turbid, the junction of the two sections of the river seems to have a line, so alive to divide the river into two, so not surprising!
It was the first time for my friend to see such a strange river, so he first walked to the muddy river and looked at it carefully, but before he could finish his observation, he saw two bright lights suddenly appear in the turbid water, and then, a snake head rushed out of the river in an instant, opened its bloody mouth and bit him, I have never seen such a big snake head, the dark red eyes were as big as a light bulb, with a strong foul smell and rushed towards him.
My friend reacted quickly, and hurriedly dodged sideways, took out the dagger on his waist and slashed at the bottom of the snake's head, and suddenly a stream of black blood came out.
This knife may have angered the giant snake, and it bit like crazy, and its whole body gradually emerged from the water, and I conservatively estimated that it must have been seven or eight meters at that time.
When I saw that my friend was in trouble, I didn't hesitate, so I stepped forward and dragged my friend aside, avoiding the attack range of the snake's head, and both fell to the ground, and the place where we fell was by the clear river over there.
To our surprise, when the giant snake saw our location, it didn't chase after us, but just raised its head and glared at us, spitting out its core and making a slight angry sound.
My friend is also the Lord who is not afraid of heaven and earth, and when he saw the giant snake coming, he thought of his embarrassment just now, and he was angry, and he provoked the giant snake, and picked up a stone from the ground and smashed it on its head.
We took a few steps back and ran straight to the middle of the clear river, and the serpent saw that we were walking away, as if unwilling to do so, and kept swimming in the black water with a fierce gaze.
Finally, as if it had made up its mind, it rushed from the black water area into the clear water and rushed towards us.
When the serpent rushed into the water, I could clearly see its thick torso, with its dark and shiny scales, and its eyes fixed on us!
We were so frightened that we hurriedly ran back, but when we ran and turned back, we saw that the giant snake was not moving in the water, and it stayed there so quietly, and the corners of the snake's mouth were slightly curved, as if smiling at us.
We were also young at that time, and we walked back slowly, completely ignoring the danger, to see what had happened, but when we reached the river, we saw that the snake had disappeared little by little at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in a short time there was no trace left, not even a slag left.
Wherever we have seen this scene, we were so shocked that we couldn't speak, so my friend threw down the net he had brought with him, wanting to see what was in the river and where the giant snake had gone, but who knows, when the net was pulled up, the mesh had melted away, and on the remnants of the net cable, I saw a lot of transparent meat insects, which were constantly surging.
At that time, we were scared a lot, and we were no longer ready to look for any water dragon king, and came back in a gray way, and then we knew what was going on in the mouths of the older generation, and now I think about it a little scared! “
After Zheng Lao finished speaking, he sighed faintly, as if he was reminiscing about the past.
Everyone listened to Zheng Lao's story and did not speak.
"Look, what's ahead?"
As Zheng Lao's story was finished, Wang Siyun looked ahead and exclaimed.
Everyone looked directly over and saw that a mountain appeared in front of them, blocking the direction of the river.
Zheng Lao's eyes lit up and he said
"It's coming!"
