Chapter 12: The Vampire Bat (Part II)
The three of them raised the fire, and it was precisely because of the source of the fire that the surroundings were instantly illuminated. In front of everyone, there is a very large river, this river has no boundaries here, and the surface of the river has a very thin layer of fog, if you row in it, you are likely to encounter unexpected things.
The three of them put their clothes on racks and baked them, and the environment here is not very familiar, so try not to run around without feeling the road. Shenchen inserted the Spirit Slayer Division about ten meters away from the three of them, which is equivalent to planting a mine, if there is danger approaching, the former will also know it as soon as possible.
Liuyue took out her mobile phone and wanted to see the date, but unfortunately, the phone was flooded and couldn't be turned on at all. I thought: It's been a long time in the cave, and I don't know when the time outside is, when we came down, it was exactly the 11th, and if another day passed today, then tomorrow will be the 12th. If this is the case, we must get to the place where the Ghost Inn is stationed before the fourteenth, otherwise Black and White Impermanence and the ghost will not find the way, and we will be finished!
In that case, tomorrow ......
"Brother Liuyue, what are you thinking?" He took the roasted fruit and handed it to Liuyue to eat, but when he saw that the latter looked dumbfounded, he asked. The latter came back to his senses, took the thing, and said, "Tomorrow will be the twelfth......" For his words, the ascension did not understand what they meant. Then the underworld on the side heard it, and the movements in his hand first paused, and then said calmly: "We have to go out tomorrow no matter what, no matter whether we get the treasure or not, even if it is empty, we must go out tomorrow!" Tomorrow...... It's our deadline! ”
When the clothes were almost baked, the three of them set off. The three of them immediately got dressed, put out the fire, and then looked for an exit.
This floor is very high from the top floor, so there is no sunlight shining in here at all. So all three summoned their weapons, lit up their swords, and continued to move forward.
This part of the journey is not complicated to say, to be precise, there are no creatures around to cover it, and according to the traces of the road, it can be concluded that there is only one road to walk. However, it is precisely because of this that the three of them can't help but be filled with heavy worries.
If Bai Shaoyun has been dead for hundreds of years, then this road should have been abandoned a long time ago. Moreover, there is such a big river around, why doesn't it dry up? As for the source of the water, the three of them did not have time to investigate. And this road is also very strange, the water has not dried up, so there should have been wild grass or bushes on the road for so many years, but ...... There is nothing here!
That only shows that here, people often come!
Not people!
Be...... And what?
The three of them walked for a while, and during this time, everyone entered a hole more than a meter high, which was pitch black, and they didn't know what was inside. However, the three of them were obviously very careful, and after the battle of the black spiders, the three of them were also vigilant, at least if they encountered this situation again, they could deal with it well.
"Stop! ——”
The crowd was almost halfway through the cave, and at this time, it was only because of a password from the underworld that they stopped. Liuyue was between the two, and when she saw this, she whispered, "What's the matter?" Is there a strange sound? I saw the former nod and said softly, "It seems to have the sound of a bat."
"Bats?"
When everyone calmed down, it was indeed just as Shenchen said, and the sound of an animal flapping its wings came from around. However, after all, this is a cave, and ordinary birds can't fly in at all, not to mention that it's far away from the ground, even if a bird wants to fly down, it's not easy, so this kind of sound can only come from an animal, that is, a bat.
"Big brother......" Conversion lowered his voice and said, "You say, will this bat be like the previous spider, and become a sperm?"
Hearing him say this, the other two also showed a worried look, if there are really bats here, maybe, it may not be true to become a sperm.
Just when the three of them were worried, the sound of flapping their wings became louder and louder, which could only mean that the creature was already very close to the three of them.
"Be careful! ——”
The voice of the ascension rang out beside the other two.
The three of them hurriedly dispersed, and as before, this creature also appeared above the three of them, hanging their bodies, and as everyone thought, this was a "bat".
"I'll go! Its wings are blood-colored! Liuyue couldn't close her mouth in surprise after seeing the appearance of this bat.
This bat, its wings are blood-colored!
"Bastard!" Shenchen scolded in his heart, and said in his heart: The wings of this bat are blood-colored, which can only mean that this bat grew up by sucking blood, and according to its size, it will take decades, right? This cave has not been entered for hundreds of years, what kind of blood can be enshrined in it? Or is it ......
"Big brother be careful!" The sound of the ascension came not far away, so much so that Hades came back to his senses.
I saw the bat that was originally hanging on the wall, flying towards the side of the underworld like crazy, the latter hurriedly raised the long sword, and slashed down, as a result, the imagination is too different from reality, the bat actually dodged, a pair of wings with a gust of wind, pounced on the latter's neck, the next second, a pain immediately came, the latter held his right hand, and immediately threw the bat out, and the neck naturally left a tooth mark.
Bastard! Bitten!
The bat that was thrown out did not stop there, but turned around and attacked the underworld again.
Still addicted?!
Styx jumped on one foot and dodged the bat's attack range.
"Three Decrees! ——”
Liuyue took the opportunity to attack, and a cold light hit the bat's body, and the latter's speed slowed down, but it didn't stop. Next, a flame burns on its body, accompanied by the call of bats.
"Devil! - "Hades snorted. I saw a circular formation appear under its feet, emitting a golden light, the long sword waved, the golden light flickered, and a sword light slashed out, just hitting the burning vampire bat, the latter trembled, and then fell to the ground, almost scorched.
The three of them breathed a sigh of relief at the moment.
Vampire bats are really powerful, although they are the same size as ordinary bats, but with their speed and strength, they are also a feared existence among bats, at least, it is difficult for them to die.
"There's really something here." Conversion couldn't help but sigh.
Although he had experienced all kinds of camping outside, it was the first time he had encountered such a spider and the current vampire bat, at least it was an eye-opener for him to see it before.
"Don't let your guard down!" Just as the other two were about to rest, the two stopped them, and the two looked confused, and the latter explained, "If my guess is correct, bats should be social animals."
"Social animals?!"
"Hmm." Shenchen nodded and said, "Bats are creatures, we humans generally don't pay attention to them. However, they are different, there will be a king in their population, and this king is our emperor in ancient times. This type of population is called a social animal. In other words, if any one of them is hurt, the others will rush desperately to avenge the former! ”
"...... that said?"
"Shhhh ——”
Liuyue wanted to ask some questions, but was interrupted by a gesture from the underworld, who seemed to hear something, and everyone hurriedly stood against the wall.
There was a sudden silence around, but in this silence, some sparse sounds could be faintly heard, probably because the distance was too far, so I couldn't hear it very clearly.
Three minutes passed......
Everyone has been in this position for three minutes!
The sound seems to fade into the hole!
The three of them also breathed a sigh of relief at the moment, and then relaxed.
Liuyue wiped her sweat and sighed, "It's so weird in this cave, there really is everything." First the spiders, then the vampire bats, and then I don't know what I'll encounter! ”
"The vampire bat here is far from being one, so we still have to be careful."
"Hmm."
The other two nodded, and the three continued on their way.
However, this time I was more careful than before, and there was almost no sound of footsteps!
"Big brother......" Conversion lowered his voice and said, "If we go on like this, can we really get to the main tomb?"
Shenchen whispered, "I don't know. However, we are running out of time, and there is only one day left. In one day we must reach the main burial chamber, and if we do not, we must escape from here. It is impossible to retreat, so we can only keep going, even if there is still danger waiting for us in front of us, we must break through! ”
"Got it." Evasion looked like he had benefited a lot and nodded. In his heart, what the eldest brother said was right, because without the eldest brother, there would be no person today......
His life was given by his eldest brother!
……
After walking for an unknown amount of time, they finally walked out of the cave while avoiding the vampire bats, and arrived at an extremely wide place, and here, like a misty forest.
The trees here are very high, you can't see the top, and the branches are very long, you can clearly see the branches crossing between the two trees, but there are no leaves, the most is the fog in the forest, if you walk in it, you will definitely get lost.
"What's next?" Liuyue asked at Shenchen, and the former glanced at the mist in the forest, and said, "If we rush in, we will definitely be lost!"
Shenchen nodded slightly, did not speak, but kept thinking in his heart: this forest is really weird, and the trees can still live after the leaves fall off. And this fog does not seem to have fallen by coincidence, it is likely to have existed here for decades or centuries, with towering trees, blocked roads, and fog filling, just these three points ensure that no one can get by......
"Day and Night Talk":
Today I am talking about the "Chung Yeung Festival"
The Chung Yeung Festival has just passed, and everyone must be impressed, so let's get to know the origin of the Chung Yeung Festival!
(Chung Yeung Festival, collect information online for everyone's reference and learning)
Double Ninth Festival, also weighed nine festivals, "stepping autumn", Han traditional festivals. The celebration of Chung Yeung Festival generally includes activities such as traveling to enjoy the scenery, climbing high and overlooking the distance, watching chrysanthemums, planting dogwoods all over the place, eating Chung Yeung cakes, drinking chrysanthemum wine, etc. The ninth day of the ninth lunar month every year is also the festival of the four traditional Chinese ancestors. The Double Ninth Festival was formed as early as the Warring States Period, and was officially designated as a folk festival in the Tang Dynasty, and has been followed by successive dynasties since then. Chongyang and the third day of the first month of March "stepping into spring" are all family outflows, and all relatives in Chongyang have to climb together to "avoid disasters".
Sources of Chung Yeung Festival:
One of the prototypes of the Chung Yeung Festival is the ancient ritual of sacrificing fire.
As the sign of the ancient seasons of the stars of the "fire" star, in the autumn and September retreat, "Xia Xiaozheng" called the "September fire", the "fire" star retreat, not only so that the ancients who have always taken Mars as the sign of seasonal production and seasonal life lost the coordinates of time, and at the same time made the ancients who worshipped the fire as a god have inexplicable fear, the dormancy of the fire god means the arrival of a long winter, therefore, in the "inner fire" season, just as there is a fire ceremony when it appears, people should hold the corresponding send-off ceremony. Although the situation of the ancient rituals is very vague, some traces of ancient customs can still be found from the Chung Yeung Festival ceremonies in later generations. For example, in some areas of the south of the Yangtze River, there is the custom of Chongyang sacrificial stove, which is the fire god of the home, which shows the clues of the ancient September sacrifice "fire". The ancients regarded Chongyang and Shangsi or cold food, September 9 and March 3 as the corresponding spring and autumn festivals. Han Liu Xin's "Xijing Miscellaneous Records" said: "In March, in September, the Chongyang Festival, the handmaiden game, this is the ascending of the mountain." The correspondence between Shangsi, Hanshi and Chongyang is based on the "fire" infestment.
With the advancement of people's livelihood technology, people have a new understanding of time, and the "fire calendar" gives way to the general calendar. The ritual of sacrificing fire in September has declined, but people still have a special feeling about the changes in natural weather caused by the decay of yang energy in September, so the ancient custom of climbing high to avoid taboos is still passed down to the city, although the world has a new interpretation.
Chongyang has become a time marker in people's lives. If Shangsi and cold food are the Spring Festival when people go out to swim after a long winter, then Chongyang is about to be a ceremonial autumn tour when the people are about to live in seclusion. The Chung Yeung Festival revolves around people's feelings about this season.
Verses of Chung Yeung Festival:
September 9 recalls the Shandong brothers
Wang wei
Alone in a foreign land as a stranger, every festival is full of relatives.
The remote knowledge brothers ascended to the heights, and there was one less person in the dogwood.
