A Visitor to the Mountains Chapter 24 The Jade Box

"What pit?" Youkai asked.

"Waist pit! If I'm not mistaken, there is a small pit at the bottom of this coffin! This was an extremely popular form of tomb during the Shang and Zhou dynasties. ”

Tang Zhengcao's words gave me a lot of hope, maybe the last hope. The three of us lifted the inner coffin out of the coffin, and with the last of our strength, moved the coffin away little by little. Sure enough, under a third of the coffin, a small pit was seen!

This waist pit became a source of strength for us, and the three of us worked together to finally remove the coffin completely.

I saw a laptop-sized box in the waist pit. The box is made of the same jade material as the coffin, and the whole body is plain white.

The moment I opened the box, there was a light of wonder inside. Before I could think about it, I saw that this magical box was actually filled with water!

"Water ......"

The three of us looked at Qing Shui's eyes straight, and pounced on it for a burst of cow drink. When we were full, we gave the eagle and the mortal some points.

The water is crystal clear and sweet, and it's simply the best I've ever had in the world!

We immediately felt refreshed and energized.

The most amazing thing is that the five of us drank enough water to drink the water in the box, but when all five of us were full, the water in the box was still full!

"What a lifesaver! I can't die now! The youkai said with a smile.

"But if you can't drink all this water, what is the principle?" Tang Zhengcao was muttering to himself, lying on the edge of the box and studying.

"Youkai, you take out that coffin fungus, soak it in this water, and you can eat it." I said to the youkai.

"Come on, come on, twist it, soak it, and you'll be ready to eat it right away!" The monster picked up a golden bowl on the ground, scooped up some water, and tore the whole coffin fungus into the water.

At this time, Tang Zhengcao suddenly vomited. His vomiting caused us panic.

Is the water poisonous?

"Don, what's wrong with you?!" I asked with concern.

"This water...... I know what kind of water it is! He said as he vomited.

"What kind of water is this?" The youkai asked.

"I'm afraid you'll all throw up if I say it." Tang Zhengcao said.

"Don't sell it, say it quickly!" Youkai said

"Look for yourself, inside the box, there are two very small words engraved."

In the middle of the glowing stone lining the inside of the box, there are indeed two inconspicuous small characters engraved.

"What is this word?" I asked him.

"Shengluan." He said.

"What do you mean?"

"Luan, that is, the meaning of spittle." Don said with a stomach ache.

As soon as his words came out, I was also a little disgusted, could it be that we were drinking someone else's saliva?

"Spit? Whoever has so much spit, it is like clear spring water. The youkai said disapprerovingly.

"I didn't talk nonsense, this should be a kind of spit, but it's not an ordinary spit. I think that, judging from that epitaph, it is very likely that the contents of this box are the spit of the dragon. ”

"Nonsense, the dragons are all out, do you want to find you seven dragon balls?" The youkai sneered.

"Listen to me, the dragon I'm talking about is what the ancients thought was a dragon, and there are many records about dragons in history, and this creature did exist. Judging from the description of various sources, it is supposed to be a large python that grows deep in the mountains all year round, and we believe that the dragon is a legendary animal because this animal is probably extinct. As for ambergris, there have also been records in history, legend has it that during the Xia Dynasty, Emperor Xia invited a box of ambergris of Shenlong to collect it for the sake of the country. Tang Zhengcao said.

"What kind of habits did these ancients have, collect some saliva from long worms and make treasures, it's really perverted." The monster said in disgust.

"Do you remember the fish in the outer waters! Those are all dragonheads! Could it be that there is some kind of connection between them? I said.

"yes, could it be that these fish drink ambergris to grow dragon heads?" Youkai said.

"It's absolutely impossible. The fish were in the stagnant water, and the box was in the pit of the burial chamber, and the two were not at all in line with each other. Eagle analyzed.

"It should be influenced by ambergris. The waist pit is one of the sacrificial pits, and the ancients believed that the things buried in the waist pit in a mausoleum had a great impact on the fortune of the tomb owner to the underworld and the tomb owner's family. It is the guard of the entire mausoleum, so the different animals buried in the waist pit have different functions. Most of the deer in the waist pit of the tomb of the Son of Heaven are alive, and the deer is a symbol of victory in the war. In the waist pit of the doctor's tomb, there are often martyred sheep, and the special sheep is an adult ram, and the sheep is a symbol of auspiciousness and beauty in ancient times. Of course, the two animals of deer and sheep were used by the princes and nobles at that time, and in the common tombs of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, a black dog would be martyred alive in the waist pit, so as to take care of the house for the master in the underworld. In this tomb of the subgroup, a dragon is killed in the waist pit, and the dragon is a spiritual creature in the world, and from a mythological point of view, it is also the first of the four sacred beasts. Putting the dragon's spit inside the waist pit is definitely a powerful protection for the entire mausoleum. I think that the appearance of the strange fish on the body of the dragon's head fish is likely to be affected by the aura of the dragon's saliva, resulting in a mutation.

The monster listened to Tang Zhengcao's introduction and said: "You said a lot, blowing this water and this waist pit so badly, but this tomb has not been stolen, and there are more than one wave of people." ”

"Every mausoleum is the same as a dynasty, it has its qi number. This mausoleum lasted for thousands of years, and it may really be that its qi is at the end of its count, and even the divine dragon can't do anything about it. Tang Zhengcao said.

At this time, the eagle thoughtfully pulled the monster and whispered a few words. The youkai nodded hesitantly.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"No, this mushroom is already soft, come on, come on, everyone divide it!" The youkai bypassed my question and gave us a few pieces of coffin fungus.

"What the hell are you looking for?" I continued to ask him

The monster's movements froze for a moment, and he snorted: "This is not your responsibility, and you are not in this business, and we will go our separate ways when we go out, and it will not do you any good to tell you." ”

Since they kept rummaging in the coffin without saying that they were looking for something, I felt that the purpose of their tomb robbery was not simple, the monster at the beginning, kept saying that it was for the treasure of the tomb owner, but when he arrived at the tomb, he turned a blind eye to the gold, silver and jade all over the coffin. The Eagle has always been silent and uncertain all the way, he is worried about casualties, but he is extremely determined to open the coffin, which is enough to see that their operation this time is for something inside the coffin!

I remembered the conversation between Li Guoqiang and the fat man when Tang Zhengcao and I were kidnapped, when Li Guoqiang and others mistakenly believed the story made up by Tang Zhengcao, and took it for granted that the eagles came to them to find relics.

Perhaps there is something more important than a relic? I thought to myself.

"Ahem......"

Ning Fanzi's condition is very bad. He looked extremely weak because of the severity of the injuries he had suffered from the previous fight, and because he had not been treated in time. To make matters worse, he was hot all over his body and had a high fever.

You have to find the thief hole as soon as possible! I told myself in my heart.

I went around the tomb, I really couldn't think of a way, I had searched for all the places I should have looked, and there were no holes at all. Are we really going to die in this tomb?

"Ye Feng, you sit down and rest. What are you dangling about? The youkai scooped another spoonful of water from the box.

"We must get out as soon as possible, Fanzi is almost unable to hold on." I said anxiously.

"Him?" The monster sneered, "Ye Feng, I don't understand, this kid is so ruthless, what are you doing so well to him." If he died, it would be more than innocent. ”

I glared at him.

"Do you feel like the temperature in the tomb has risen a lot?" At this time, Tang Zhengcao said.

"Yes, I've wanted to say it a long time ago, this **, somewhere, it's so cold outside, it's so hot inside, and the more you go inside, the hotter it gets." The youkai frowned.

"If we continue like this, we may be suffocated here." Tang Zhengcao said with a worried face.

"But I'm glad there is water."

The youkai said as he leaned over to get the box.

"Why is this box so heavy!" He muttered, gritted his teeth, and carried the box out of the waist pit

"What are you doing!" Tang Zhengcao saw the monster pick up the box, and his face suddenly changed.

"Drink!"

"Put it back! Martyrdom leaving the waist pit is a big taboo! Tang Zhengcao said to stop the monster.

At this point, I clearly felt that the temperature in the tomb had risen again!

Could it be that this box has something to do with the temperature? I thought to myself.

Tang Zhengcao was still arguing with the monsters, and the tomb actually shook, and now we all panicked!

"It's over, the palace above has collapsed, and this place is supported by ambergris, and now the ambergris is off the ground, and the aura is dissipated, I'm afraid this place will also collapse!" Tang Zhengcao said in horror.

The shaking of the chamber began to increase, and the stones that had been stacked on top of the previous collapse collapsed again, rushing into the interior of the chamber, and the roof of the tomb was completely torn apart and crumbling.

In this enclosed space, we had nowhere to hide, and seeing that we were about to be buried by rubble, half a hole appeared on the right side of the door of the tomb that had been blocked by rubble!
