Chapter 259: Giant Furnace Ding
The sound was very strange, like some kind of viscous liquid constantly bubbling and exploding, and I immediately thought of boiling magma, which I had never seen before, but felt like this was the sound when they tumbled.
Isn't there really lava under this island? I smiled self-deprecatingly, it was so whimsical, it was a floating island, it had no roots, it couldn't produce lava on its own.
The blazing breath became more and more obvious, and the indescribable strange smell and fiery fire rushed into the nostrils, extremely unpleasant, I even experienced the smell of corpse minced meat swill face to face, but this smell was countless times worse than those, although it was not as good as the chemicals that would directly irritate the lungs, it was also the pinnacle of harmless smell.
Dryness and heat came to my face, and the clothes that had been damp all the time were dried, and they had endured the cold for a long time, and this warm feeling was really good, and even the joints were much more comfortable, but I didn't dare to relax in my heart, it was so abnormal, I couldn't understand why such an island that was everywhere about water produced such a high amount of heat.
There must be something strange ahead, it's a sure thing, and as we move forward, the strange sound gets louder and louder, and the thing that makes the sound doesn't seem to move, it's quietly waiting for us.
What the hell is this? The three of us stopped almost at the same time, it was too dangerous to rush forward like this, and I saw Ah Chuan raising an eyebrow at Eleven, and Eleven turned his gaze to A.
They wanted to use the common vision of A, and he might have wanted to do the same when we first met Eleven, but he was stopped by Ah Chuan in time, and it seems that this time he had to implement it.
They didn't hesitate, the armor on Ah Chuan's wrist jumped down, and ran in the darkness in front of him against the rock wall, this distance is not short, A didn't come back for nearly a minute, I kept staring at Ah Chuan, I saw that his expression suddenly changed at a moment, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead almost instantly.
He wiped his hand casually, his expression became strange, he must have seen something, but he didn't say anything, and soon A came back from the darkness and wrapped it around his wrist.
"What do you see?" I couldn't suppress my curiosity and asked.
Ah Chuan's expression was very strange, he rolled his eyes, as if he was thinking about something, he must have seen something incomprehensible, it was rare to see his expression.
"A big ...... Furnace Ding? Ah Chuan's tone was incredulous, as if he thought what he said was funny.
"Furnace?" Eleven's brow furrowed and soothed.
"Well, it should be," Ah Chuan smiled and looked at me, "There are shadows of ancient forbidden arts everywhere here, it must be related to people outside the square, but I can't judge the specific purpose of this island, in the words of my predecessors, it is a mausoleum, but I think it is more likely to be a certain place of sacrifice in ancient times, if the legend of the First Emperor is true, then this Fang Shi is too powerful." ”
"How awesome?" I asked.
"Think about it, this island can always sink to the bottom of the sea, can people who can live underwater still be called people? The secret of the First Emperor and this piece of jade didn't even know Fusu, who supervised the construction of the Emperor's Mausoleum, and how did he know that he was far away at the bottom of the sea? The gossip technique of the ancient period can peek into the future, and he got a glimpse of the secret of the jade before he designed to seize it, in other words, he was really already like an immortal. ”
I couldn't even say what I could say: "One furnace can get so much news?" ”
"Anyway, I have never seen such a huge and strange vessel, I have seen a lot of Fangshi's mausoleum, but it is the first time that there is a furnace ding, the last time we went to Guizhou Mountain, it was also a Fangshi's mausoleum, but there was no furnace ding, this kind of thing is not every Fangshi has."
I feel very awkward, Ah Chuan said last time that the Fang Shi is a powerful person, and I have also personally experienced his Gu Art and the Xuanmen Maze, but he doesn't have a furnace ding, so how powerful should this Fang Shi with a furnace ding be?
I thought about it and felt that something was wrong: "Didn't you say that you had never seen a furnace, and how did you know that this was a furnace?" ”
Ah Chuan smiled meaningfully: "You can see it with your own eyes." ”
I didn't ask any more, and followed them forward, looking at Ah Chuan's appearance should not be dangerous, but the hot breath and unpleasant smell became stronger and stronger, after all, what A saw was only a black and white scene, and there might be something else hidden there, just like last time, Ah Chuan didn't find the stone tire hidden in the sarcophagus.
This road is actually not very long, but there are many twists and turns, like a series of "zigzags", we turned five or six turns, and then we saw that the front became brighter, and a cloud of orange and yellow light was reflected on the stone wall, beating, shining, and the shadows were full of shadows, and it was clearly the shadow of fire.
"Fire?"
I was so surprised that I didn't know what to say, no wonder it was getting hotter and hotter because we were getting closer to the fire, and it had been burning since the beginning.
The thick "grunt" sound was very loud, close in front of me, at first glance it sounded like a pot of thick soup boiled, I turned my head to look at Ah Chuan, A must have seen it a long time ago, but he didn't tell us that there was a fire burning here.
"Go in and have a look."
Ah Chuan didn't explain, and he didn't seem to be able to explain it, so I cautiously followed them and walked forward, only to see that in front of me was a huge cave, at least eight or nine hundred square meters, and in the middle of the cave there was a huge circular furnace, with a height of four or five meters, and a diameter of at least ten meters.
I opened my mouth wide and looked at the scene in front of me dumbfounded, the stove was not the most shocking, the strange thing was the raging fire burning under the stove, the flame was very strong, completely covering the bottom of the stove, at first glance it really looked like a pot of soup.
The boiling sound of "gurgling" did come from the furnace, no wonder Ah Chuan refused to say, I can't describe how shocking this scene was, I stood stunned for a long time, staring at the huge furnace in front of me without blinking, as if I saw a flying saucer.
The furnace is not only very large, but also carved with extremely complex and exquisite patterns, the degree of delicacy is not at all like the creation of thousands of years ago, I clearly see that there are two huge snake bodies wound from the bottom, each one is thicker than me, but their scales are meticulous, they are intertwined, the head of the snake is lying on the mouth of the furnace Ding, the furnace is engraved with strange and twisted patterns, a closer look is actually a deformed ghost, among these hideous ghosts, there are many flowing lines, very similar to words, simple but uncomfortable, From afar, it looks like a snake and an insect, like an ancient charm.
There is a lid on the stove ding, firmly covering the whole furnace ding, it is too high, I can only see the pattern on the edge of the dingding, there must be a hole in the dingding, a cloud of pink steam is spewing out from it, the clouds and mist above the furnace ding, like a fairyland.
The unpleasant smell comes from the steam spewed out of the furnace, I still can't tell what it is, but it smells so bad that it makes me sick, the furnace is obviously made of bronze, and you can see the traces of seawater corrosion in the subtleties, but it is too big, and the carvings and patterns on it are also huge and majestic, so it seems that the corrosion is not serious, in fact, the subtle patterns have already changed.
I looked up, and saw four thigh-thick bronze chains extending from the cave wall, firmly fixed to the lid, such a huge furnace can't be opened by man, these bronze chains must have a mechanism attached to them, the most bizarre thing is the pink steam, its color and smell are too unique.
I couldn't help but cover my mouth and nose, the smell was terrible, but it didn't look like it was poisonous, I didn't feel anything uncomfortable, except for nausea, I could smell this strange smell mixed with a heavy bloody smell, and then look at the pale pink steam, as if there was a big pot of blood boiling in the stove.
Not only blood, there must be something else, the smell of rotten metal accounts for most of it, this furnace must have been soaked in seawater, I was shocked when I thought of this, I was shocked by this giant furnace, completely forgot the fire below, this floating island rose from the bottom of the sea, here must be the whole soaked in the seawater, why is there fire?
What fire can burn under the sea for thousands of years? If it had been burning for so long, the liquid in the furnace would have dried up a long time ago, could it be said that the fires were ignited after the floating island came out of the water? We certainly don't have this kind of idleness, so who ignited it?
I'm vigilant, but it doesn't look like someone here at all, since Ah Chuan said that it might really be an immortal, I also subconsciously treat him as an immortal, if it's an immortal, it's not a problem to live for thousands of years, is he really still alive? Or is this simply a fire that cannot be extinguished by water, does the samadhi fire in "Journey to the West" really exist?
A lot of things flashed in my mind in an instant, I have even seen a stone fetus, even if there is really a samadhi true fire, it is not strange, my psychological endurance is much higher now, if Ah Chuan tells me that it is the samadhi real fire, I will definitely believe it without hesitation.
We took a few steps forward, and at the mouth of this rock crevice there was a half-man-high small furnace ding, also made of bronze, round and big belly, rusty, and a serpentine pattern was also wound on it, and the complex pattern was corroded so that it could not be seen in its original appearance, I looked closer, the more I looked at it, the more familiar I felt, I had really seen this furnace, isn't this the one in the human skin workshop?
They were certainly not the same, but the shape was exactly the same, it must have been made in batches, and Eleven also leaned over, and when he saw me looking at him, he nodded lightly at me, and he also found that this furnace was the same as the one in the human skin workshop.
But it is not exactly the same as that one, I clearly remember that one furnace is completely sealed, but this one has a cover, I carefully reached out and lifted it, the lid did not move, Ah Chuan also stretched out his hand, twisted hard, accompanied by a sluggish friction sound, I saw that there were fine threads at the mouth of the cover, this furnace is also completely sealed.
