Volume 1 Kurosawa Domain Chapter 103 Frost Flame
You know, this generation of ghosts and ghosts is like this, he always forces you to embark on a path of death that he has designed for you step by step in an interlocking way, which is full of dangers and dangers.
The bizarre and uncanny thinking of this damn eunuch makes people want to cry without tears, and they can't stop it.
Bai Yunfei dared to conclude that after the dragon whiskers sank violently, it would touch the follow-up organs, making everyone even more like walking on thin ice and in danger.
Sure enough, after the dragon's whiskers were pulled down by everyone, suddenly the rain of arrows stopped.
And just as everyone looked up and watched, wondering if the elimination mechanism had been triggered, the harmful arrow mechanism was closed.
even suspected that it was a pity for the heavens to leave a way for everyone to live.
I saw that the stone walls around the entire waterhole trembled again, and the sound of the machine behind the stone wall "rumbled" again, and on the dome, which had been relatively quiet, suddenly unusually, began to sprinkle gravel downward.
"Could it be an earthquake?" Lu Wuyang is here with the dragon of everyone, so he can still hear Bai Yunfei clearly.
Although he didn't answer his doubts, Bai Yunfei knew in his heart that this was not an earthquake, but that the previous archery mechanism had stopped and changed to another mechanism to harm people.
Just as everyone didn't have to hide and hide from the rain of arrows, they were finally able to straighten their necks and breathe, and the sound of mechanisms and messages starting in all directions began to continue, and rubble began to fall from the dome.
The crowd was overwhelmed and panicked by the successive changes, anxious like a frightened bird, panicked like a lost dog.
When I heard the mechanisms again, the sound of the message activating, and the overwhelming falling rubble, I was physically and mentally exhausted, and my whole body was filled with a sense of powerlessness.
I forgot to dodge for a while, and watched the gravel fall on the waterhole, and the water that was already about to calm up made waves again.
It was only when some small stones and gravel smashed on his head and body that he reacted and remembered to pull out the sapper shovel inserted outside the backpack to cover his head.
As the rubble fell, a desperate scene appeared:
Immediately after the fall of rubble on the dome, dense small holes began to appear, from which oil was sprinkled into the waterhole, and the mural stone wall that originally shot arrows at the waterhole began to spray fireworks!
I heard Han Debang, who was at the same dragon as everyone, wave his fist and scold: "This nameless man of the dog day, this Abraham who killed a thousand knives, this... Were there fireworks in that dynasty? ”
Lu Wuyang looked at him very curiously and said, "I thought you knew that you, an expert in ancient writing, didn't know when fireworks started?" You're a pseudo-scholar. ”
In fact, tracing the history of fireworks and firecrackers, starting from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, its evolution and development process can be divided into three stages: the bamboo burning period, the sulfur period and the fireworks period.
The so-called bamboo burning period is that the fire is used to make a sound when the bamboo is burned, which is called "firecrackers".
"Firecrackers" originated very early, the politician Fan Li in the late Spring and Autumn Period in the "Tao Zhu Gongshu" has: "In addition to the night to burn pots and firecrackers and according to the field silkworms to see the color of the fire, the same night to take quiet is auspicious." ”
During the nitrate period, the firecrackers filled with nitrate in a bamboo tube and wrapped in nitrate paper were generally made of bamboo or paper, or black gunpowder prepared from nitrate, and the paper was made in large quantities by Cai Lun in the Eastern Han Dynasty.
During the fireworks period, fireworks are also called "fireworks" and "fireworks", and now some are also called "ceremonial flowers".
In the era of Anonymous, it was the period of the alternation of the Three Kingdoms and the Two Jin Dynasty, and the technology of these fireworks and firecrackers was already well known, and even ordinary people's homes had to set off during the New Year's Festival, which was the most ordinary.
So it's not necessarily that Han Debang doesn't know these histories, but he just saw the black oil pouring down all over the place, and then the fireworks that ignited them were set off, and at this time it was like the end of the world, so that everyone felt that they had no way to live, so they were so angry that they cursed casually.
I saw that the originally dark space above this waterhole was instantly illuminated by the fireworks sprayed from the stone walls around it, and then the fire trees and silver flowers gushed non-stop, filling the space with brilliance, as bright as day.
Maybe everyone is so tired that they don't want to move anymore, or maybe everyone is shocked by the dazzling dazzle that never sleeps, everyone has forgotten the crisis, and looked at the thousands of fireworks in this huge "bucket" stupidly, and was attracted by this beautiful and cool scene for a while.
However, Cao Longxuan still had the strength, and he let out a high-pitched shout: "Climb quickly, it's not too late." ”
Everyone was awakened by his sound of flowing water and fireworks, and when they turned their heads to look at him, they saw that he was like a gecko on a wall and a civet cat on a tree, and he was extremely fast, and he climbed up quickly along the golden-scaled dragon.
Only then did everyone realize that when the black oil on the surface of the water was filled, the sparks falling from the fireworks would surely ignite it sooner or later, and then it would be easier said than done to get out of the sea of fire.
And everyone has already dived into the bottom of this pool to search, and it is impossible to be lucky enough to find another escape passage that can be escaped by jumping in, like the bottom of the oil pool.
At that time, the fire and smoke will be together, and there will still be life?
Everyone shouted, just like a few monkeys climbing a tree, hurriedly climbing the golden-scaled dragon upwards.
When Bai Yunfei climbed to the second dragon claw of the Golden Scale Canglong, he heard a "boom" from the waterhole below, and the sound of flame transpiration had already sounded, and the momentum was getting louder and louder.
When I looked back, my hands were numb, my legs were weak, and the whole huge waterhole was like a hell's furnace, and the flames were burning red with endless might.
Moreover, the fire was still getting bigger and bigger as the water level rose and the black oil from the dome continued to drip down, and began to chase everyone towards the dome.
Bai Yunfei suddenly thought that even a person like himself with sound limbs was already so weak that his legs were so weak that he couldn't move, how could those three people with arrows in their legs still be able to climb this golden-scaled dragon?
Looking down, sure enough, Han Debang below Bai Yunfei had a sad face, bared his teeth, and kept cursing the anonymous man.
I saw that the injured leg he was climbing did not dare to bear the force at all, and was completely supported by the good leg, and at this time, due to too much fatigue and fright, he was already shaking like chaff.
Fortunately, these eight golden-scaled dragons are head-down, tail-upper, spitting water downward, and the dragon scales are growing upwards for everyone at this time, and each dragon scale is pointing to the direction of the dragon's tail, so the hands and feet can also borrow strength on these "stubble" dragon scales, so as not to slip off.
Bai Yunfei saw that the situation was not good, and his heart sank.
Just when he was thinking hard about having no good plan, he saw that Cao Longxuan had already climbed up along the golden-scaled dragon, returned to the spiral stairs with a vertical leap, and then took out the mountaineering rope from his backpack and threw it down.
His actions made Bai Yunfei's eyes light up, without further ado, it seems that the escape road has landed here, and he must hurry up, otherwise once the time passes, even this fleeting vitality will be gone.
Bai Yunfei exerted all his strength, showed the most tenacious fighting style of the army during military training, and climbed up like crazy.
Halfway through, he almost fell off the dragon's body, because the black oil spilled from the dome poured on the dragon's body, Bai Yunfei's hand was slipped by the oil, and he grabbed it off, and the whole person fell down in an instant.
Fortunately, Bai Yunfei had a lot of experience in training before, although his two feet did not step on the dragon scales when he fell, he clamped his legs hard, and the flesh on the inside of his legs was scraped by the dragon scales as painful as a knife, but he gritted his teeth and refused to let go, and finally slowed down the fall.
Then he quickly wiped his oiled hands on his clothes a few times, climbed the dragon scales with both hands, and stepped under his feet, and climbed up like an ape.
After jumping onto the spiral staircase, Bai Yunfei also followed Cao Longxuan's example, took out the rope and folded it into two strands, tied the middle of the rope to the dragon's claws, and then threw the two strands of rope down.
Lu Wuyang and Han Debang respectively grabbed a rope, climbed while pulling the rope, and stepped on the dragon scales to borrow strength, although it was not faster than climbing directly on the dragon, but at least it could be safe and stable.
Bai Yunfei pulled the rope upwards vigorously on the top, first pulling the thin Han Debang, and then pulling Lu Wuyang.
After some tiredness, Han Debang finally went up the spiral staircase, and was about to collapse on the ground to gasp, when he was kicked on the ass by Bai Yunfei, and quickly got up and dragged Lu Wuyang up with Bai Yunfei, and the two worked together to quickly pull Lu Wuyang back to the spiraling staircase.
At this time, the other two groups of people who climbed up the other two golden-scaled dragons also returned to the spiraling staircase, although everyone was tired and wanted to die, but they knew that they could not delay any longer.
At this time, life and death are at a speed, and if you slack off, you will not be spared.
The crowd supported each other and ran upward.
At this time, the water level of the waterhole has risen a lot, and the fire on the water surface is getting bigger and bigger, and a tongue of fire more than two feet high has risen, constantly licking the air around everyone.
At the same time as the black smoke was ignited, the scorching and smoking made everyone's chests tight, short of breath, tears flowed incessantly, and their faces burned so much that they wanted to tear off their faces.
Cao Longxuan, who was running in front, unloaded his backpack, bent down and took out a diving suit from his backpack, buckled it on his head to block the flames, and then picked up his backpack and turned around to take the lead in escaping.
Everyone painted the scoop according to the gourd, and it really felt a lot better, because the diving suit was flame retardant and self-extinguishing, so it greatly relieved the scorching pain of the fire.
Although there was no place on the whole body that did not burn through the clothes, the key head, mouth and nose were protected, and some of the pain was finally relieved.
At this time, everyone rushed wildly.
The three who were hit by arrows in the legs were pushed and dragged by others, and they didn't slow down.
Everyone ran higher and higher, far away from the fire, and the pain was naturally lighter, and finally they were able to breathe a sigh of relief and escape from this fire hell.
In the huge waterhole of "Kungong", the gluttony of those swallowing pools all stopped absorbing water, causing the water level to rise higher and higher, and the flames of fire lifted by the water level also rose higher and higher, and steamed.
The crowd had to run up the spiral staircase to escape the fiery hell.
At this time, the water level in the "Kungong" waterhole had already submerged some of the murals, and when the water level rose above the second dragon claw of the golden-scaled dragon, suddenly the entire waterhole and the surrounding stone walls and domes began to tremble slightly.
At this time, there was already a raging flame in the "Kun Palace", and there was no need to activate any more mechanisms, so why did it tremble again?
Could it be that the flutter is not caused by the activation of the mechanism, or is there another reason that it can't be?
At this time, everyone fled to the entrance of the passage at the top of the spiral staircase, covered their mouths and noses with diving suits to prevent the smoke, and looked at the blazing "Kungong" waterhole below in disbelief, seeing that there was no sign of any mechanism or trap activation, they could only wonder if there was an earthquake?
