10. Graveyard in the water

The scene instantly became uncontrollable, and I finally understood what Brother Men's meaning was when my face bloomed, the monkey was crazy, grabbed me and actually began to bite me, but that guy may have forgotten that he was wearing a mask, so every bite became a veneer ceremony.

You can imagine that kind of scene, I couldn't help but be speechless for a while, I have grown so big, I have never been crazy and "intimate" by a woman, I can't imagine that I am actually taken advantage of by a man now.

In the panic, the boat swayed violently, and the river fluttered in the river, so the brother and the dwarf also exerted their strength, and after a while, the guy was finally subdued, no······ It seems that he passed out of the pain himself.

I looked at him, speechless in my heart, and a cold sweat behind my back: "Is this guy still a human or not?" I asked the woman.

She shook her head and shrugged her shoulders: "See for yourself!" ”

At this time, Brother Mengo took off his mask and poured painkillers into his mouth.

The moment I took off my mask, I saw a face that resembled a snake.

"His name is Rong Jitong, and 11 years ago, he and your father went down to that Dingli. A year ago, scales began to grow on his body and his tongue began to change. The woman spoke, taking advantage of the monkey's coma.

07 years? The accident in the upper reaches of the Xiu River?

"He's also someone hired by my dad? But how so? ”

"At that time, there were three people who jumped into that ding, he, Wu Ming, and your father. It was supposed to be a curse, or some kind of bacteria, and a year ago his body began to mutate and become like this, and his tongue began to fork, which was a snake. The woman continued.

So my dad will do the same? I thought of this and hurriedly asked, "What happened to him just now?" ”

"New scales are starting to grow on my face." The woman said lightly, but I can imagine the pain, I can't imagine that maybe my dad is going through such pain somewhere now.

"My dad doesn't seem to be much better, his tongue should be split and his body is starting to snake." I thought of the weird sound of the video, and the strangeness of my dad's body.

"Do you know where he is?" Rong Jitong woke up at this time, he put on his mask again, leaned against the boat and snorted, wheezing.

I glanced at him.

"Don't be afraid, it was just a business, your father didn't think about harming me, I'm not ungrateful." He said to me.

"I haven't seen him for 10 years, and in '08, he left home and didn't know where he went. I've been looking for him as well. I whispered.

I can't imagine that there will be such serious consequences in the original incident, if my father is still alive, he must be more painful than this person named Rong Jitong, right?

"He may be in the ancient tomb of the Marquis of Haiding, the coffin back then, the underground river washed out of the tomb, and the curse came from the ancient tomb." Rong Jitong said to me.

"What do you mean?"

"Longtang, Longmen, and the legends under the Xiuhe River actually refer to the same thing, but the versions that circulate in various regions are different. There is the legend of the ancient tomb of the Marquis of Haiyang under Poyang Lake, the dragon hall is spread below the Yongxiu River, and the Wucheng side is called the Dragon Gate, and the above is said, under the water area of Jiangxi, there has indeed been a large-scale building. And that building was built by Liu He, the first prince of Haidu. ”

This Liu He is the grandson of Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and the son of Liu Ji, the king of Changyi, he is the ninth emperor of the Western Han Dynasty and the shortest reigning emperor in the history of the Western Han Dynasty. In the first year of the Later Yuan Dynasty, his father Liu Ji died, and Liu He, who was only five years old, became the second king of Changyi in the Western Han Dynasty. In the first year of Yuanping, Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty died, because he had no children, Liu He was proclaimed as the emperor, reigned for only 27 days, was deposed because of his greed for women, and did not protect the society, and still returned to his hometown Juye to be the king of Changyi. In the third year of Yuankang, he was deposed as the Marquis of Haiduan and moved to Yuzhang State. In the third year of Shenjue, Liu He died, and he was known as the Emperor of the Han Dynasty.

"Why did he put so much effort into building this kind of building for worshipping the dragon god underground?"

"Because he has a disease." Rong Jitong said and took off the mask on his face.

I looked at the scaly face and thought, "Could it be that it's also a snake?" ”

"That's right, if you check the history books, there will be a record in the book that Liu He is greedy for women, lingering in women all day long, coupled with unscrupulous robbery, he soon suffered from flower willow disease, and the book records that 'the limbs are sore, and the head is attacked.'" In order to cover it up but not let people find out, he ordered the whole country to 'cover up their faces with black veils, cover their bodies in black clothes, and not take them off. But this is only a record in the book, often recorded in the book, will beautify, whitewash some of the history at that time, after all, the leader still wants to save face, in fact, I have checked the wild history, that Liu He suffered, not a bad disease, but scales. To be precise, Liu He at that time, like my current situation, can no longer be regarded as a human being. ”

"How could he be like this?"

Rong Jitong shook his head: "I don't know this, but what I know is that his illness is cured!" After Liu He suffered from mildew, he invited countless doctors and mages to cure this symptom, and finally came a strange person, who said that the disease of mildew could not be eradicated, and only peeling off the skin could cure it.

Then the man chose an address for Liu He near the leyline, and Liu He built a spiritual cave with a lot of construction. And the spiritual cave has become Liu He's final burial place, of course, this is a later story, I won't say it for the time being, but the last strange person said to Liu He that the appearance of peeling off the skin and flesh is to turn into death and live, and the three-inch bone of the dragon bone neck is needed, and the water condensation beads are wrapped in a water film to wrap the "snake skin body", so that the snake skin of this body can be shed, and the dragon will ascend to the immortal. ”

Listening to Rong Jitong's words, I suddenly thought of the dragon coffin in 98, and I remember that there was only one human skin in the coffin back then. Legend has it that dragons are mythical animals in ancient myths and legends. It is the length of the scale insect and is often used to symbolize auspiciousness. And all the genera of scale insects have the resources to turn into dragons. Folklore has it that the snake has practiced for a hundred years, and the dragon has turned into a dragon for a thousand years.

"Liu He was convinced of that person's words, and actually found a keel in half a year, and then the strange man used the keel to do it for Liu He in the ancient tomb, and Liu He really shed a layer of snake skin."

"It's not scientific!" I retorted.

"The current science can't explain this, it's not psoriasis, it's snakeization." Rong Jitong smiled and stuck out his tongue, and I saw the forked tip of my tongue again. "I can feel the pain of turning into a snake in all my organs, the bones that have already been formed, and they grow again. I can't stand this feeling, I am really going to die, and the dragon bone in the ancient tomb built by Liu He is my only hope, I heard that your father has been missing for so many years, and I even suspected that he had entered the ancient tomb and got the dragon bone. ”

He said this calmly, as if he were telling a story! I looked at this man who was spread out on the boat and had accepted the reality, and I actually began to feel a little sorry for him.

"So your ultimate goal is the ancient tomb of the Marquis of Haidu?"

"That's right!"

"But if you look at this place, does it look like a place with an ancient tomb?" I was speechless for a while, I really couldn't figure out those wild historical tales, but there would be people who believed them and worked hard for them.

"Look at the paintings!" The woman sitting next to me found something on the wall and shouted.

"Painting?" I followed the direction of her finger to the sides of the river, and when I saw it, I realized that in the course of our long conversation, I had unconsciously come to the confines of the tomb.

After walking for so long, there are no natural traces on the mountain walls on both sides of the river, but some damaged murals are gradually appearing. "It seems that this is the entrance to the tomb, but why did they build the tomb in the water? Isn't it said that the mausoleum will corrode faster? Brother Menge gently poked the mural on the wall with a bamboo pole, and a large area fell off, but he could still vaguely see that it was a huge arch, and behind the arch, there were countless people digging in a tunnel.

The mural depicts the artisan excavation of the waterway, and in ancient times, a large-scale project like this was often used as a direction to preserve the process.

After another section of waterway, we found that in addition to the murals, there were still a small number of wall carvings on some mountains, and we could vaguely see the human faces of the reliefs, these faces were all over the stone wall, and each face was terrifying and hideous. After a while, the road was no longer as winding as it used to be, and the reliefs on the walls began to slowly increase, and at first glance, it seemed that countless strange faces on the walls were looking at us, looking at us outsiders.

The red stone relief lintel on the wall is engraved with auspicious patterns such as auspicious clouds, rui beasts, flowers and birds, etc., which are vivid and lifelike. The relief knife technique is delicate and delicate. The upper part of the ancient wall is covered with gray tiles, and weeds are growing. Although it has gone through the vicissitudes of time and the water vapor has been eroded, it is still brightly colored and the pattern is exquisite.

"I should be entering the scope of the ancient tomb." Rong Jitong said: "Chinese reliefs only appear in large numbers in temples, caves and large-scale mausoleums, and you see that there is a relatively well-preserved relief here. ”

As his flashlight shines, we see that it is a cannibal picture, with a lower starting position, a larger compression of the form, and a strong sense of flatness.

"It's a yin line carving!" Rong Jitong knocked my hand off the wall, "The water is unstable in the water, don't separate your upper body." ”

"Hey, look ahead!" Brother was sitting in the bow of the boat with his searchlight on.

I followed the light and looked forward, and found that there were huge stone statues on both sides of the mountain at the end of the waterway in front of me, the stone statues stood majestically, holding a spear on the left side, holding a big axe on the right side, and the eyes were dotted with red colored ink.
