Chapter 41: Nine Dragons Pull the Coffin
I froze in place, watching the back of the Thirteenth Master gradually engulfed in darkness.
The Thirteenth Master is right, I'm too weak, and anyone seems to be enough to put me to death. From the accident in our village to the present, almost every time I encounter an accident, I have almost always hid behind people, and every time I encounter danger, I almost rely on others to survive.
Li Shihua, Widow Liu, Third Uncle, Thirteenth Grandfather, Zheng Ke......
Almost all of these people have saved my life.
And what if they didn't show up so coincidentally when I was in danger?
Then I'm left with only one dead end?
Everyone says that I am the strongest bloodline of the Zheng family, but where am I strong?
This question has always bothered me, because for twenty-three years, I have never felt any different, and I feel that I am no different from the villagers who work at sunrise and rest at sunset. Sometimes I even think that maybe I will be like them, marry a wife and have children, and then sweat in the fields for the rest of my life, and just spend my life in such an ordinary way.
Who would have thought that overnight, our village would undergo earth-shaking changes.
The third uncle, who had always depended on me for his life, suddenly disappeared, the warm and simple villagers became strangers, and even our Zheng family was shrouded in a veil of mystery.
Then, everyone told me that I was the strongest in the Zheng family.
But I don't even know what the Zheng family's bloodline is, so how can I talk about being the strongest?
Zheng Ke is indeed for me to save me, for which I will always be grateful to him, and even if I have the opportunity, I will repay him with my life!
But is it really just my fault?
I didn't know anything, they didn't tell me anything, it seemed that everyone knew the truth, and I was the only one who was kept in the dark.
I'm like a marionette, being played with by everyone, and if I'm not careful, my life may be in danger.
I've been living for twenty-three years, and it's good to be able to survive all of a sudden, and they even ask me to be the strongest?
What do I use to be the strongest?
Thinking of this, I gritted my teeth, and then shouted at the back of the Thirteenth Master: "Thirteenth Master, what is the thing that our Zheng family is guarding?" What is our bloodline? How can I get stronger? ”
The Thirteenth Master did not respond to me, only the sound of his footsteps echoing in the corridor. Seeing this, I got up directly and quickly chased after the Thirteenth Master.
When I caught up with the Thirteenth Master, I found that the Thirteenth Master was standing in front of a wall, and when he saw me coming, he pointed to the oil lamp on the stone wall and said, "Go and twist the oil lamp!" ”
Although I didn't know why the Thirteenth Master asked me to do this, I didn't ask too much, and stepped forward to grab the oil lamp and twist it vigorously.
With a 'click' sound, but the oil lamp was twisted by me, and then, I heard the sound of 'hum', and the originally smooth stone wall trembled at this moment, and finally, a stone door in the center of the stone wall was slowly opened.
And when the stone gate opened, a strong bloody aura immediately diffused from behind the stone gate.
The bloody smell was so heavy that my stomach churned and fell into the sea, and I almost vomited.
"What is this place?" I asked with a look of surprise, and the Thirteenth Master turned his head to look at me, and said in a deep voice, "Hualong Pool!" ”
"This is the Dragon Pool?"
The female ghost named Chen Xiyan said before that the only one who can save Zheng Ke is my Zheng family's Hualong Pool.
But although Zheng Ke was seriously injured at that time, he still had a breath of air anyway. And at this moment, Zheng Ke's heartbeat stopped beating, even if he entered the Dragon Transformation Pool, could he still be saved?
Moreover, what exactly is the Dragon Pool, and why is it so magical?
Just when I was stunned in place, I saw the thirteenth master walking in directly with Zheng Ke in his arms, and when he saw that I was still stunned, he said, "You can come in with me too!" ”
I nodded when I heard this, and then walked in after the Thirteenth Master.
It was pitch black inside the stone gate, and in the pitch black environment, the sound of 'ticking and ticking' kept coming out, like the sound of water dripping. But it was so dark that I could barely see anything, except for the 'tick-tock' sound echoing in my ears.
At this time, I heard a trembling sound of 'hum', but the stone door behind me automatically closed, and almost when the stone door closed, I heard the sound of 'huhu', but the oil lamp on the stone wall burned instantly, and for a while, the entire stone room was reflected by the firelight.
It's just that when the firelight came on, my eyes instantly widened when I saw the scene in front of me, and my eyes were full of shock.
"This is, what kind of place is this!" I muttered to myself in dismay, almost subconsciously taking a step back.
I saw that this was a stone room the size of a football field with a mask, and in the center of the stone room, there was a huge pool, but the pool was not water at all, but blood!
The blood seemed to be still hot, and bubbles bubbled out from time to time, and the thick bloody gas was wafting in the stone room.
Oh my God, after seeing this scene, I only felt my scalp tingle, and my heart trembled and trembled.
"So, that's blood?" I couldn't help but swallow and spit at the mouth, and asked in a trembling voice, the thirteenth master nodded when he heard this, and said: "Every descendant of my Zheng family will enter the Hualong Pool to soak at the age of twenty-three, and how long to soak depends on the individual's physique. And the blood in this dragon pool is not human blood, but it is not harmful to my Zheng family, and even for my Zheng family, this blood is the best tonic in this world. ”
After he said that, he took Zheng Ke and walked towards Hualongchi, I hesitated for a moment when I saw this, and finally followed with a hard head.
When I got closer, the bloody aura became even stronger, and at this time, I found that there was a large hanging coffin above the Dragon Pool.
It was a bronze coffin, and on the body of the coffin were many large iron chains as thick as wrists, the other end of which was embedded in the wall. This is not the most frightening thing for me, what makes me feel shocked is that on all sides of this bronze coffin, there are nine dragons poured with steel.
These nine dragons are all made of steel, and their whole bodies exude a jet-black color, and each dragon is made vividly, some dragons are angry and hideous, some are looking up and roaring, and some are looking down at all beings, although their states are different, but what they have in common is the ancient majesty that they exude.
Moreover, the bodies of these nine dragons were all wrapped around iron chains, and the other end of the iron chains was wrapped around the copper coffin, giving people the feeling that they were pulling the coffin.
After seeing this scene, I couldn't help but swallow and spit, my God, who is buried in this coffin, and the coffin is suspended in mid-air in the situation of Nine Dragons pulling the coffin? This kind of tomb situation, even if it is an ancient emperor, may not dare to do this!
The dragon is the existence of myths and legends, and my Chinese nation has always been called the descendant of the dragon, and has a deep respect for the dragon.
And the people buried in this bronze coffin actually want to enslave the dragon and pull the coffin for themselves?
At this time, I found that there seemed to be something else on the bronze coffin, but it was too high for the firelight to illuminate it completely, so I could only see a huge outline, but I couldn't see what it was.
However, the blood in the dragon pool seemed to flow from above. It's just that the blood first flowed into the copper coffin, and the copper coffin seemed to play a filtering role, after the blood flowed into the copper coffin, it slowly seeped out of the copper coffin, and the last drop fell into the evolution dragon pool.
Could it be that the blood in the dragon pool is all flowing from the thing on the copper coffin?
What the hell is that, judging from the amount of blood in the Dragon Pool, the size of that thing must be very huge, otherwise, the amount of blood would not be so amazing.
I was stunned by this scene, and my heart trembled even more, because I suddenly realized that I seemed to be getting closer and closer to the secret of the Zheng family.
I turned my head to look at the Thirteenth Master, trying to get more clues from the mouth of the Thirteenth Master, but no matter how I asked him, he kept silent, just hugged Zheng Ke to the side of the Dragon Pool, and whispered: "You are only eighteen years old, whether it is physique or bones, you have not reached adulthood, whether you can withstand the erosion of blood, it depends on your own willpower and creation." ”
After that, he slowly put Zheng Ke into the dragon pool.
