13 Three thousand weak waters, the coffin of the dragon (I)
If it was me in the past, the moment that voice came, I would have thought it was my own delusion. Now it's different. After all that has happened, I'd rather believe that every delusion is true than deny the possibility of danger.
So, at the moment when the sound of chains came, I immediately ruled out the possibility of auditory hallucinations.
"What sound?" Yang Xiaoqi suddenly became cautious.
The voice disappeared in a flash, and I listened carefully for a while without reappearing.
"It should be the sound of chains." I said skeptically.
Yang Xiaoqi stared at the bronze corpse in front of him motionlessly and asked me, "Is this big thing coming?" ”。
I shook my head and couldn't tell clearly.
The atmosphere in the tomb has become strange from the moment the voice came from the moment it came.
I swallowed and asked Yang Xiaoqi softly what to do next.
He approached the hammer again, as if to see if the thing was alive or dead. I was impressed by his courage and whispered a reminder to him in the back to be careful.
Suddenly, I saw his body tremble violently. It was a tremor brought on by a sudden startle. I followed and raised my heart to my throat.
Whoa.....
The sound of chains in the graveyard came again, this time with great clarity, and I immediately concluded that it was from the front.
"Do you fucking see that? This thing doesn't look good, let's not take a detour, didn't the tomb just now have two doors, go to the other one and try it. "I saw Yang Xiaoqi in a daze under the bronze statue, thinking that he was frightened by seeing something terrifying, so I had to remind him in the back.
He looked back at me and said, "We seem to have guessed wrong at the beginning, this thing is really a bronze statue, and the sound of chains just now came from inside the bronze statue." ”。
This is undoubtedly good news, and I asked him if he could see the greasy inside the bronze statue.
He told me not to speak. Then he leaned his ear close to the belly of the bronze statue and listened intently. As I listened, I kept moving my body.
In the dark, this series of actions looks a little terrifying. Finally, he stopped at the left shoulder of the bronze statue.
"Yes," Yang Xiaoqi couldn't hide his excitement.
He didn't discuss it with me, but reached out and grabbed the wrist of the bronze statue and broke it hard, and suddenly saw the bronze statue's arm bend.
Then, the rattling of chains continued, and at the same time there was the sound of stone walls closing and opening.
I watched a series of changes in front of me, first the stone walls above us began to rise, and then the stone walls on both sides began to move into the distance, of course, only a small distance and not the whole wall stretched backwards, only a few squares in front of us.
However, this is enough to shock us.
At the very least, I don't know how this mechanism works. I'm sure Yang Xiaoqi doesn't know.
After a dozen seconds, our surroundings became much wider and the top of our heads became taller. And the sense of oppression brought by that bronze statue has disappeared as the surrounding space has become larger.
As the sound of the mechanism ceased, the wall to our right jerked backwards, revealing a stone staircase that descended.
"Didn't you say there wouldn't be a mechanism here?" I looked at Yang Xiaoqi in disbelief.
He scratched his head, gave me a blank look, and said, "There are always surprises in this world, let's not delve into this." Hurry up. ”。
He didn't have a chance to argue with me, and walked towards the stone steps with a flashlight.
I was bored and followed him behind.
The entrance that appears is not large, but the space inside is amazing. When we entered, there was a flashlight shining around, and we couldn't see the stone wall.
"Do you want to make a cold firework and see the situation around you?" I asked Yang Xiaoqi worriedly.
He shook his head and said that there is no need for that, we don't have many cold fireworks, just be careful.
I snorted. Knowing that what he said was right, it was up to him.
Each of the stone steps here is more than half a meter high, and we can say that we are frightened along the way, for fear of accidentally stepping on the air and falling down.
The further down I went, the colder it became, and I felt strange to myself. It stands to reason that there is a hidden volcano near this island, and it should get hotter and hotter the further it goes, so why the other way around?
Just thinking about it, Yang Xiaoqi in front of him stopped suddenly.
"What's wrong?" I asked him.
Yang Xiaoqi pointed to the front and said, "There is no way." ”。
I was startled and didn't react. Reflexively looked down, and was immediately shocked.
The bottom of the stone steps more than a dozen steps away was sealed by the water, and when I looked into the distance, the place where the flashlight could touch was water.
Perhaps because of the light, the surface of the water looks black and pressed like ink.
"What kind of place is this? Underground lakes? I asked, surprised.
"Three thousand weak water, the coffin of the dragon" Yang Xiaoqi Nannan said such a sentence.
"What?" I asked, puzzled.
He repeated: "Three thousand weak water, the coffin of the dragon." ”。
I was puzzled and asked him what he meant.
He said, "This is a sentence recorded on the secret of the ghost mark. That's what I'm talking about. The flying mirror told me that even boats can't float on this kind of water. If you look closely, the water here is not reflective at all. ”。
What he said reminded me that the light of the wolf's eye was very penetrating, but it was indeed like shining on the surface of the water as if it were shining on a void space, without any signs of reflection.
"What does Ying Long's coffin mean? Is it the legendary Ying Dragon? I asked.
Ying Long first appeared in the period of the Yellow Emperor, and it was recorded in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" and "Historical Records". Da should be talking about the war between the tribes in the Yellow River basin led by the Yellow Emperor and the tribes in the Yangtze River basin led by Chiyou, and both sides used various magical animals to help, Ying Long is one of them, an ancient mythical beast with wings.
Legend has it that when Dayu controlled the water, Ying Long also came out to help, drawing the direction of the deep ditch in the river basin with his tail, and draining the ten thousand rivers into the sea.
And Qu Yuan's Tianwen also expressed puzzlement about how the dragon helped Dayu control the water, how to use his tail to draw a river on the ground to divert the flood into the sea, and other strange things.
This is the Ying Long I know, I don't know if it is the same thing as the coffin of Ying Long in Yang Xiaoqi's mouth.
Yang Xiaoqi said uncertainly: "I don't know this, literally, this should be Ying Long's cemetery, and it is rumored that Ying Long is a divine beast around the Yellow Emperor, so it is not surprising that the tomb appears in the Yellow Emperor's mausoleum." This is the most powerful grave beast in the world, but no one can say for sure whether there really is such an animal in the world. ”。
"What do we do next? It's impossible to swim across this kind of water, right? "I looked at Yang Xiaoqi with some excitement, and I really hoped that he would jump in with a hot head and ask me to see how this weak water is different from ordinary water.
However, this kid's head never seemed to be hot, and he said calmly: "It is impossible to swim over, this water is likely to be highly poisonous, let's walk along the surface of the water to see if there is any other way out here." It would be nice if there were flares, and we could look around. He sighed and began to walk horizontally along the water.
We were both far away from the water, for fear that some monster would crawl out and take us away.
After walking for about ten minutes, I was surprised that this was far beyond the scope of the underground palace painted by Yang Xiaoqi, and I thought that this kid was really unreliable.
Just as I was wondering if I should squeeze him a few words, he grabbed me and lowered my body.
"There's something at the water's edge up ahead," he whispered to me.
I was startled, and when I looked ahead, I immediately felt my scalp tingle.
There, there were more than a dozen child-sized black shadows staring at us coldly in the dark. At the same time, some blisters began to gurgle on the surface of the water.
Within a few seconds, the lake was almost boiling. Yang Xiaoqi and I were completely at a loss, and the dozen or so black shadows jumped into the water one after another and disappeared.
I could see clearly that the thing was diving like a goose with its wings outstretched, but it was more elongated.
I suddenly felt something, glanced at Yang Xiaoqi, who was also looking at me with the same eyes, and said softly: "Do you see what it is?" ”。
