Chapter 23: The General of the Ruins reminisces about the past, and the Sword Shrine Qingyang recognizes the Lord

Repelling the revenge of the Di people, we finally arrived near Niushan Island. At this time, Xiao Fan found that there was an abnormal situation under the surface of the sea, and the blue water suddenly turned as black as ink. According to old legends, the blackening of the sea is caused by the souls of the dead in the sea, and the more people die in that area, the darker the sea will become. If you stay in this kind of sea water for too long, you will get seriously ill, and if you are serious, you will die on the spot.

"The water here is like ink, and I don't know how many people have died. Alas. I sighed, "I can't go into the water now, it will be dangerous for the yin qi to enter the body, and when the yang qi is at its peak at noon, we will go into the water again." ”

I docked the boat in the middle of nowhere, and the three of us began to prepare the equipment for launching. According to Mitsui's account and judging from the photographs, it is estimated that the remains of the wreck are about 30 meters underwater. The diving equipment this time was prepared by the Zhang family, and then used by Xiaofan after inspection, which was enough to ensure our underwater safety.

At noon, we took a few sips of the spirits and turned them into the water in turn. Although the sun was fierce at noon, the sea was still black, the visibility was low, and the light line of our head could only penetrate about two or three meters. We swam slowly towards the target, and after about 15 minutes, I reached the bottom of the shipwreck.

I was about to gesture for everyone to separate and find the entrance, but Beichen stopped me. I saw him press on a reef, and the remains of the shipwreck revealed a small door for a person to pass through. I was surprised that Beichen had already swam in first, so we had to follow first.

After we entered the passage, about twenty meters of swimming, Beichen pressed on a stone sculpture again, the entrance door closed, and there was a sound of the mechanism activating, and I noticed that the sea was rapidly receding, and a flight of stairs appeared in front of me.

I asked a little vigilantly, "Yi Nan, have you ever been here?" Otherwise, how could you be so familiar with the situation? ”

"Xiaolong, I'm from your side." Beichen saw that I was suspicious of him, and there was no superfluous explanation, so he only said this. My heart softened at the time, yes, how many troubles have people solved for you along the way, what could be more convincing than this, how could I have other ideas, I couldn't help but slap myself in the mouth.

I hurriedly stepped forward and told him that I was cheap, don't be surprised, I saw Xiaofan covering his mouth and having fun, which made me embarrassed for a while. I hurriedly asked, "What now?" ”

Beichen just smiled slightly, "Change clothes and rest." "During this time, I have become accustomed to the way he speaks, and what he said means that everyone used a lot of physical strength just now, change the clothes in the waterproof bag, and replenish some physical strength before making plans.

About half an hour later, we walked up the stairs upward, about ten meters or so, and in front of us there was a pitch-black gate about three meters high, with a white sea beast playing on the left side of the gate, and a warrior stone figurine holding a long ge on each side of the gate.

When we go up to check the style of the gate and the stone figurines, it should be the Qin Dynasty. We were trying to disperse to find the mechanism to open the gate, when suddenly we felt a sinking under our feet, a stone slab was trampled on the ground by me about two inches, and the two stone figurines each rotated 90 degrees to the left and right, and there was a sound of the mechanism activating, and the gate slowly opened, revealing a dark figurine road. At the same time, a strange copper kettle slowly rises from the ground, with water in the kettle, degrees engraved on the inner wall, and an arrow next to it.

Xiao Fan glared at me and said why I was so frizzy, and then explained: "This is a copper kettle water leak, and it should be two hours away, that is, four hours." ”

I even said, "Hehe, accident, accident." So what happens when the time comes? ”

Xiao Fan shook his head, and I looked at Beichen again. "When the hour comes, the sea will pour in, and there will be no escape."

Xiaofan and I were horrified, this is okay, "Then what are you waiting for, fight quickly, otherwise you will be a lobster in the sea." "I'll go first.

The three of us walked in the dark tunnel, the waterproof flashlights shining on the walls on both sides, only a little starlight, I looked closer, as if there were countless gems.

"Corpse moth chrysalis, sticky people wake up." Beichen reminded. I hurriedly covered my mouth and retreated, thinking to myself that these ancients were really poisonous, this first line of protection was so powerful, and I didn't know what was waiting for us later.

Passing through the corpse moth chrysalis passage, there is a hall in front, densely packed with stone figurines, arranged into an attack phalanx, long ge, spears, crossbows and various types of troops, in the middle of the phalanx is a four-horse chariot, one person on the chariot is driving, another general-like person holds a sword in one hand, and holds a box in the other, and a strange beast-shaped copper lock is hung on the box.

"What we're looking for is in the box." Beichen said lightly.

"The question is how do we get there, it's like an iron bucket, there is no road at all!" I shone my flashlight in all directions, and if I wanted to pass, I would have to turn sideways and slowly pass through the battle formation, and I couldn't guarantee that there would be no danger.

"Brother Long, we can use the flying grab to hook the box, so that people don't have to go over." Xiao Fan said.

As soon as I heard it, I was overjoyed, and Beichen nodded. I took out my flying grab, wrapped the rope lightly around my left hand, and threw my claw towards the box on the chariot with my right hand. I was about to pull the box back with all my might, but I found that the box seemed to have taken root, and I couldn't pull it at all. Just as he turned his head to ask them for help, he had to say "be careful", Beichen drew his sword and cut the rope, grabbed the severed head and jumped into the chariot in the air. I lost my center of gravity and fell backwards, "Damn, what's going on?" I got up and scolded.

Xiao Fan pointed to the chariot, his voice trembling a little, "He, they, are alive." ”

I looked at the place she pointed, and saw that Beichen was fighting fiercely with the general on the chariot, and the antique seven-star sword brought bursts of cold light, although it stabbed him several times, but it was as if it had stabbed the steel and iron plate, making a "bell" sound, but it couldn't hurt him for half a point. And the general didn't take advantage of it, Beichen's body was erratic, and he couldn't hurt Beichen. After a few rounds, he shouted: "All the armies obey the order!" ”

I saw that the stone figurines, which had been standing still, were all aimed at us at this time, and as soon as they gave the order, they would immediately attack us. I broke out in a cold sweat, thinking to myself how I had come across these unclean things lately, and if I had to rush up together, I would definitely die under the knife.

"General Wang, slow down!" At this time, Beichen seemed to recognize him, jumped off the chariot and shouted.

"You? Are you South? The charioteer general also stopped the attack and looked at Beichen seriously.

Beichen smiled: "It's been more than two thousand years, I didn't expect us to meet again." General Wang, don't come unharmed. ”

With a wave of General Wang's hand, the troops retreated, stepped off the chariot, and slowly walked towards Beichen, the armor on his body making a "clanging" sound. He gave Beichen a bow with his hands clasped into fists, "Immortal, it's really you." You are still you, and I am no longer me. General Wang sighed.

"I'm here to retrieve the copper box today, and I'm going to ask the general to make it easier." Beichen also returned the salute.

"Of course. Back then, I promised Xu Fu that old immortal to stay here because he said that one day you would come back to get it. General Wang made a gesture of please.

"Thank you, General!" Beichen motioned for us to come and get the box.

Xiao Fan and I walked slowly through the battle array, picked up the copper box full of moire on the chariot, and made an "ok" gesture. At the same time, I can't worship Beichen even more in my heart, what else does he have that I don't know, even the generals of the Qin Dynasty for more than 2,000 years have treated him with courtesy.

"General Wang, I've suffered you for so many years. Now that the mission is complete, you can go out with us. Beichen persuaded.

"No, this world doesn't belong to me anymore, let me ......, hey, you look like that person!" When General Wang saw me, he had a look of disbelief in his eyes.

It's this sentence again, that person, that person, who the hell is that person, I'm a little crazy, you all know it, but I don't know it myself.

"Recognized? That prophecy is true, so we need your help. Beichen also looked at me.

"It's a pity that the time has not come, I should stay here, and I will appear when the time comes." General Wang replied.

"In that case, let's take our leave first, and then there will be a period!" Beichen no longer persuaded and said goodbye.

"There's one more thing you can take with you." After saying that, we only felt that our feet were empty, and the whole person slid downward, and fell into a small room amid the screams of me and Xiaofan.

I got up and looked around, it was a circular hall, in the middle of a stone platform about 1 meter high, with an ancient sword stuck on it, up to the hilt, the end of the hilt was cast with a slender chain, and all kinds of rusty swords were inserted around the stone platform.

"Who the hell am I?" I was suffocated.

"When the time comes, you will know. I know I have a lot of questions about what just happened, and I'll ask you when I go out. "Since Beichen came in, his eyes haven't taken off this ancient sword.

Although I was very unhappy in my heart, I was helpless for a while, Xiaofan came up and patted me on the back and comforted me a few words.

"I'll go get the sword. This is the sword mound, and only one person can enter it, otherwise the formation will be triggered. After speaking, Beichen jumped lightly in front of the stone platform, wrapped the chain around his wrist, held the hilt of the sword with his right hand and tried it, and then took a deep breath, "Get up!" With a loud shout, he had already drawn his ancient sword and pointed diagonally at the sky.

I saw that the whole body of this sword was cyan, without a trace of miscellaneous lines, and the sword body had two seal characters of "Qingyang", which were "buzzing" in Beichen's hands. "Old friend, long time no see!" Beichen stroked the sword body and said, Qingyang Sword seemed to recognize the owner, and the "buzzing" sound became stronger and stronger.

At this time, a "ding bell" sound came, and all the swords in the stone platform were broken, and the stone platform cracked, and an entrance appeared. "Let's go, this should be the exit. Time is running out. "Beichen should go first.

Through this exit, we turned back to the corpse moth chrysalis passage, and found that there were actually two corpses on the ground, dressed like Japanese ninjas, and their bodies were crawling with corpse moths. I signaled everyone to be careful, raised the steel umbrella and approached slowly, when suddenly I felt a light backpack and a dark shadow fled forward.

"Copper box!" Xiao Fan exclaimed.

Who was the one who snatched the box? What's the secret in the box? If you want to know what happens next, and see the next chapter breakdown.
