Chapter 391: What Are You Looking For?
Xu Jing's spirit passed through the winding and deep passage, and then through a stone door with a strong seal, he could see the situation outside clearly.
However, his main concern is not the dwarves, but Bilbo.
Hobbits, despite being about the same height as dwarves, are closer to humans in appearance, as they are originally a human variant.
All the dwarves began to descend the mountain, but Bilbo did not give up, he called out to everyone, but unfortunately no one listened to him, even Thorin threw away the key and map, and turned away in despair.
Xu Jing has some appreciation in his heart, he can't just see the luck and plug-in of the protagonist, and the protagonist who can succeed can show a certain eye-catching quality at critical moments.
He was very patient, he had waited for so many days, and it was not bad for a while.
Bilbo racked his brains for the hints on the map, muttering to himself, trying to find the keyhole, but again to no avail.
Just as he was disheartened, a crescent moon broke away from the horizon and mingled with the setting sun, and a silvery-white light shone on the limestone of the mountain wall.
Click!
A thin rock fell from the mountain wall, and a small hole suddenly appeared three feet above the ground.
"Keyhole!" Bilbo was pleasantly surprised, and immediately ran to the edge of the cliff, shouting at the dwarves who were climbing down, "Come back, it's the light of the moon, the moonlight of the end of autumn." ”
Then everything went smoothly, the dwarves quickly returned, Thorin took the key to open the stone door, and everyone carefully entered the passage with a sacred remembrance on their faces.
Above the gate at the entrance to the passage, the dwarven throne is depicted, and above the throne there is a prismatic object that is emitted light by lines around it.
"What is this?"
Bilbo was curious.
"Arkon Diamond." Thorin looked back, "Mr. Snitch, that's the goal of your trip. ”
All the dwarves looked at Bilbo, waiting for his answer.
Bilbo's breath was short, and he knew exactly what he needed to do.
"You just have to see it and you'll know it's it." Thorin added.
None of the others spoke, looking at Bilbo, waiting for his answer.
At this time, Balin, who was full of white hair and white beard, sighed, pulled Erbo, who was a little sluggish, to the corner of the passage and said: "I don't know what will happen to you down there, if you don't have to go, even if you give up, it's not shameful." ”
"No, Bahrain." Bilbo came back to his senses, his face full of seriousness, "Since I agreed, I think I should try." ”
He would have flinched before he got the magic ring, but now he had a lot of confidence.
"It surprised me." Surprised and surprised, Bahrain thought for a moment and said, "Then go ahead, I hope you have all the good luck in the world." ”
Bilbo took a deep breath and walked down the steps.
"Bilbo." Balin whispered uneasily, "If the dragon below is sleeping, don't wake it up." ”
Bilbo stopped abruptly, thinking of the situation in which the dragon hadn't slept, and suddenly felt frightened, and was about to say something, when he looked back to see that Balin had disappeared around the corner.
He had no choice but to walk down the passage.
Xu Jing quietly retracted his head and burrowed into the Jinshan, and at the end of the secret passage was the Jinshan Hall where he was.
Bilbo made his way down, getting more and more nervous, and he quickly made his way out of the dark passage to the entrance to a large hall.
"Hey." He tried to whisper, and knocked his fingers on the wall, making a "doo" crunch, before quickly ducking into the passage.
Xu Jing was amused in his heart, but he didn't make a sound, he was now like a hunter who had set a trap, waiting for the prey to enter the trap, if he was not careful, he might really be escaped back to the passage by Bilbo.
He didn't want to make a fuss, and in the role of hunter, he seemed to be very patient.
Bilbo listened intently for a long time, and when he found that there was no movement, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and walked slowly out of the passage on tiptoe again.
"It's not at home." He muttered to himself, cheering himself up: "Not at home! Nice, nice......"
He walked down the hallway to the end, turned his head to look down the hall below, and was suddenly stunned.
Bilbo had heard many ballads describing the dragon's treasures, and had heard the dwarves describe how rich Irubor had been, but the sparkling gold and silver jewels in front of him were beyond his imagination.
The hall, which is more than a kilometer long and wide, is filled with countless treasures, and the light of all kinds of gold, silver and jewelry shines brightly, almost illuminating the entire hall.
He forgot to breathe, his heart filled with an unquenchable longing, and he even forgot that there was a terrifying enemy here.
It seemed like a century had passed, and Bilbo finally came to his senses, swallowed hard, and then crept down the steps into the treasure and began to search for it.
"Where's the heirloom diamond?"
When he saw any gem, he would pick it up and take a closer look, but what he found was much the same, and he didn't find a target that could be identified at a glance.
And this treasure house is so big that even if there is no evil dragon guarding it, let him rummage through it wantonly, with his own strength, he doesn't know how to find the Year of the Monkey.
Just when Bilbo was at a loss, the gold and silver jewels above the gold mountain suddenly tumbled violently and rolled down, and this huge movement suddenly made his heart jump out and his body stiffened with fright.
But his legs seemed to be filled with lead, and he was so heavy that he couldn't take a step, so he had to slowly raise his head and look at the top of the golden mountain.
"What are you looking for?"
Xu Jing's entire body gradually leaned out of the golden mountain, and a dazzling shining gem was spit out from his mouth, and with a hint of banter in his eyes, he stared at Bilbo.
The moment Bilbo looked up and saw Xu Jing, he was shocked, and he only felt his scalp tingle.
He trembled violently, his chest heaving and heaving, and his whole body was filled with fear.
The dragon in front of him was more terrifying than he imagined, and it was even unimaginable, several times larger than what Solin and they described, just in the face of the momentum that the other party inadvertently exuded, he could barely stand, and his legs were weak.
He glanced at the treasure diamond that Xu Jing spit out not far in front of him, and immediately determined that this was what he was looking for.
This gem is so different, it looks like a ball with thousands of faces, shining with a dazzling silver light, like a lake reflecting the sun, like snow under the stars or raindrops under the moonlight.
Bilbo tried his best to suppress the fear in his heart, met Xu Jing's terrifying gaze full of coercion, swallowed saliva and said in a trembling voice: "I...... I'm not here to steal, I have ...... Smaug, who has great wealth, I just want to ...... Just want to see your majesty and see you ...... Whether it is as great as the legend says. ”
A few steps behind him was a thick pillar, and as he spoke, he almost collapsed to the ground, and finally stumbled against the pillar, sweat dripping like rain.
Bilbo trembled his hands and reached into his pocket, and it was not until he clutched the ring that he finally had a glimmer of confidence in his heart.
