Chapter 108: Candle Dragon (1)
It's no wonder that these things will be thrown here, this ancient mausoleum, according to this scale, should be an imperial mausoleum, but because the age is too old, there is no way to verify what era it is, maybe the answer is in the ancient books that Tuoba Yue sorted out, He Xizai carefully looked at these patterns, like a dragon, also like a python, in short, overlapping and clinging together, I can't tell what kind of species it is, like an ancient totem, on the old sarcophagus, revealing an old atmosphere.
The two of them followed the sarcophagus and found that this place was twice as large as the place where Tuoba Yue was stationed above, this perception was simply beyond the expectations of the two, so that there would be more space to hoard more soldiers and horses, and before the joy was raised, the two were stunned by the mirror image in front of them, they had already walked along the wall to a corner at this time, about a few dozen meters away from the stone steps they had just fallen, and turned around, only to see a hole in the stone wall that had been carved out, Embedded in the early stone wall.
The entrance of the cave is not deep, and it is about the appearance of being able to accommodate dozens of people, but now it is not filled with people, it is a pile of white bones, yes, piles, like the previous white bones, they are all scattered together, and they look very infiltrating. He Xi had long forgotten to be afraid, after falling, what happened constantly challenged the limits of her heart, ghost vines, white bones, sarcophagus, which she might never see in her life, but this time she met them all.
The two glanced at each other, and looked at the section where the white bones were written, the same bite marks, the same fine tooth marks, every place was like this, it was not a coincidence.
"We have to find our way out quickly, waiting for the seventh month they are afraid that it will be too late, there must be something powerful in this cave." Tuoba Yue took He Xi's hand and walked towards the other side, but he didn't want to, just a few steps away, he heard a rumbling sound on the ground, and some fishy smell gushed out of the air for no reason.
The palms of the two overlapping together were warm and cool, Tuoba Yue's hands were even harder, and the palms of He Xi who pinched them were a little painful, she frowned and did not speak.
"Whatever happens, it's hiding behind me, and whatever you see, just follow me, you know?" When Tuoba Yue said this, her tone was serious and firm, but her eyes were vigilant looking at the surrounding situation, He Xi nodded, it was an answer, at this time she couldn't help but regret it even more, and only after a while did Nuo Nuo speak: "Fang Cai, you shouldn't follow,"
What she said was the moment she fell, Tuoba Yue jumped down in order to save her, as soon as these words came out, Tuoba Yue just shook his head and smiled bitterly, if there was still some reason at that time, if there was still some measurement, it would not be such a result, but how could he watch He Xi have an accident in front of him?
The vibration of the ground became more and more violent, obviously the thing was already slowly approaching, suddenly, a roaring sound sounded in his ears, sharp and piercing, very ugly, He Xi couldn't help but cover his ears with his hands, trying to isolate the sound.
"Be careful!" Vaguely heard Tuoba Yue's exclamation, he couldn't help but put down his palm, only to feel that there was something, with a foul smell coming towards him, his body was pulled by a force, the center of gravity was unstable, and the whole person was thrown to the stone wall on the side.
At the same time, there was a sharp pain in her back, she snorted, only to see where she was standing, and was smashed out of a deep pit, which was half a human depth, enough to imagine that if she was still standing in place at this time, she was afraid that she would be slapped into flesh.
The black shadow flashed in front of him, and a tall and straight figure was protected in front of him, it was Tuoba Chen, and he said quickly in his mouth: "This is the candle dragon, it seems that he has become an adult, I think these white bones are his masterpieces, the candle dragon is afraid of fire, I will entangle it for a while, you pick up the torch, do you hear?" ”
He Xi was dizzy just now, and now that he came to his senses, his eyes crossed Tuoba Yue's shoulders, and he saw that in front of them, there was a giant python several meters high, with a pair of orange eyes, staring at He Xi and Tuoba Yue's direction for a moment, and his mouth kept spitting out letters, making a hissing and ugly sound, which made people's hair stand upside down.
"What the hell is this!" He Xi couldn't help but understand.
Tuoba Yue pulled He Xi back in the direction of the torch little by little, his eyes were fixed on the direction of the candle dragon, for fear that it would suddenly attack, and because of nervousness, fine sweat also appeared on his forehead.
"The god of Zhongshan, the name of the day and candle yin, is regarded as day, the eye is night, the blow is winter, and the call is summer. Don't drink, don't eat, don't rest, breathe for the wind. Thousands of miles long, in the east of no enlightenment. It's a thing. The human face and snake body are red, and they live at the foot of Zhong Mountain. Northwest overseas, north of Chishui, there is Zhangwei Mountain. There is a god with a serpent's face and a red body, and his eyes are straight. Its eyes are obscure, and its sight is clear. No food, no sleep, no rest, wind and rain are admonishable. It is the candle nine yin, and it is called the candle dragon. Tuoba Yue said quickly, this is the appearance of the candle dragon recorded in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas".
He explained again: "But since ancient times, I have never really seen the candle dragon with a human face snake god, and gradually people discovered this species, and the pattern on his side face looks very similar to the facial features of a human, so people call it a candle dragon." ”
He Xi was a little curious when Tuoba Yue said this, and looked at the face of the candle dragon, because the candle dragon was huge, the scales on the body were clearly visible, and he only saw the side face of the candle dragon, with bright and dark patterns, which really looked like a hideous human face, He Xi looked at the eyes of the candle dragon, and only felt cold all over his body.
"How did it end up here?" He Xi asked.
"I think it was enshrined here, and the candle dragon was met as a god, and there is a saying that if the tomb is built near the candle dragon's lair, the descendants can be crowned marquis and worship the prime minister, and even rule the world." Tuoba Yue guessed.
He Xi only thought it was funny, if this candle dragon was really as effective as the legend, now this calendar would not be surnamed Tuoba. Now she also understands that these people are sacrifices, used to worship the candle dragon.
How innocent human life is, used to achieve these illusory ambitions, thinking about it like this, He Xi actually felt that the owner of the tomb finally ended up being dug up and digging the grave, and it was not wronged.
It's just that at this time they want to get rid of this candle dragon. Something stepped on under his feet, it was the torch that had been dropped before, the flame was burning slightly, and it was not extinguished, He Xi slowly leaned over, trying to pick up the torch. But I didn't want the intention of the two of them to seem to be seen through by the candle dragon, and suddenly slammed towards the two, He Xi's heart tightened, her movements accelerated, and she grabbed the torch on the ground, she was already slender, with a soft waist, although she had no kung fu foundation, but the body was like a water snake, with the strength of Tuoba Yue, gently and skillfully, a beautiful twist, and returned to Tuoba Yue's back.
There were still sporadic flames on the torch, He Xi blew lightly, and saw that the flame suddenly rose to the ground, and the light was emitted again, and the candle dragon seemed to be very afraid of the torch in He Xi's hand, so he made a gesture to attack, and gradually regained his momentum, and was a little restless in He Xi and Tuoba Yue's wandering around, looking for the target of the attack.
Tuoba Yue and He Xi were back to back, and I don't know when, the wipes between He Xi's foreheads were thrown off, revealing the red cinnabar mole.
The two of them slowly moved in the direction of the stone wall, and the candle dragon also approached little by little, the two of them and the snake were so deadlocked, no one moved, suddenly, the candle dragon seemed to be patient, opened his blood basin and roared, the sound was what He Xi and Tuoba Yue heard at the beginning, sharp and piercing.
The bloody mouth was full of dense and thin teeth, which corresponded to the tooth marks on those white bones.
The candle dragon seemed to be desperate, bent up, this is the iconic action before the python attacked people, Tuoba Yue grabbed He Xi's waist with one hand, it was enough to see that with a light, the person had already floated out a few meters away with his strength, the candle dragon missed a hit, a little annoyed, and the thick tail swept across several abandoned sarcophagi on the side, the sarcophagus seemed to have no strength, and it rose up lightly and smashed towards Tuoba Yue.
Tuoba Yue didn't dare to stop, turned around and kept dodging the attack of the candle dragon, the sarcophagus smashed on the stone wall, and many of the splashed rubble smashed on He Xi's body, she only gritted her teeth and didn't speak, but her brows were really frowning, not because of pain, but because she could see it, because Tuoba Yue cared about her safety, she could only hide in this way to avoid the attack of the candle dragon.
But no matter how deep Rao is Tuoba Yue's internal strength, there will always be a time when it will be exhausted, and at that time, let alone himself, even if it is Tuoba Yue, he can only be reduced to the mouth of this candle dragon.
Thinking of this, He Xi bit her lip and looked at the cave full of bones before, she said to Tuoba Yue: "It's not a way to go on like this, give me the dagger." ”
"What are you going to do?" Tuoba Yue frowned and asked with some displeasure, this woman has never been peaceful, and before she has come up with a way, there must be no mistakes.
He Xi pointed to the clothes tied around his body, which Tuoba Yue said at the beginning to prevent the two from getting lost in the dark.
"Don't you think about it, you also saw it, don't say that the candle dragon still has venom on its body, just that strength, as long as you touch it, it's a dead end, do you know it!" Tuoba Yue was faintly angry.
"If you take me like this, you will die sooner or later, do you know!" He Xi roared loudly, and his eyes turned red unconsciously.
