Chapter 704: The Hungry Spirit
The searchlight shines little, and the stone door at one end of the passage is closed, but the other end is hidden.
Judging by the direction, behind the hidden stone gate should also be the place where the Nine Dragons Jade Ding is hidden, that is, the front room of the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum.
Feng Wu took out the map and checked it, and found that the direction was also correct, so he said to me: "Go in from that side, the stone gate at the other end should lead to the outside of the tomb, or somewhere else, in short, it doesn't matter." ”
I nodded, telling everyone to be careful, and then led the way to the half-open stone door.
The stone door is very tall, carved with quaint patterns, push open the stone door and go in, find that it is a very vast burial chamber, there are thick stone pillars supporting the top wall, the top wall is some quaint pictures, the four walls are the same, and then there is a platform near the back of the tomb, there is a blue-green tripod on the platform, the tripod is two meters square, emitting a crystal light under the light, at a glance, you know that it is not cast in bronze, but made of jade, such a huge jade tripod, It is also a cultural relic in the tomb of the Yellow Emperor, and you can imagine how precious its value is.
Fortunately, we are not greedy for money, otherwise, we would definitely have to make a cameo appearance as a tomb robber.
I warn everyone to be careful, according to the little mangrove girl, the sling must be the one guarding this tomb, but now it has not been seen for a while, and I don't know where it is hiding and preparing to attack us.
We didn't see the big ding, so we walked slowly forward, and after a short time we came to the edge of the big ding, and then while we tried to get around the big ding, we looked around vigilantly, for fear that the fierce dragon would suddenly rush out and attack us.
As a result, we checked for most of the day and didn't find any traces, and it seems that the stool is no longer here.
Then just when I was relieved and relieved, I suddenly heard the little fool say, "Brother, do you hear the gasping sound?" Someone seems to be sick and humming. ”
The little girl's words made us stunned, and then we quickly held our breath and listened quietly, and after a while, we heard a very faint humming sound, and the source of the sound was in the big ding.
I was stunned by this situation, and when I looked up, I saw that it was placed on the platform, about half a meter higher than all of us, so we didn't know what was inside the ding. At the beginning, we all thought that the tripod was empty, but now it seems that the tripod is not empty, and the fierce sword guarding here is very likely to be hiding in it.
Knowing this, I signaled everyone to be more careful with my eyes, and then I volleyed up in the air, and the merciful sword sprayed out and pointed at the inside of the jade ding: "Don't hide, come out!" ”
"Hmph, uh-"
As a result, under my shout, there was only a very faint response sound from inside the big ding, and then I got closer, looked inside, and saw a very strange-looking person lying inside.
This man said that he was human, but he was not exactly, he had a human body, hands and feet, eyes, ears, mouth and nose were similar, the only difference was that he was covered with blue-black scales, which made him look more like a mermaid, and he looked a little disgusting.
The strange man seemed sick, very weak, emaciated, scaly and bone-ty, dying, with half-open eyes, looking at me weakly, and when I came near, I heard only a voice from his throat say, "Water, water-"
Hearing this, I didn't think much about it, and quickly took off the kettle from my waist, put it to his mouth, and let him take a sip.
The man grabbed the kettle and drank it desperately for a long time, until he drank a pot of water, then he breathed a sigh of relief, lay down again, and said to me in a weak voice: "Thank you, thank you for saving your life, you are tomb robbers, rest assured, all the treasures here are yours, even if you take it, this Nine Dragons Jade Ding is the same." ”
These words made me even more curious, so I looked at the jade tripod and found that there were nine coiled dragons carved on the tripod, which must really be the Nine Dragons Jade Tripod.
After reading Nading, I asked the man, "Who are you?" How did you grow like this? I heard that there is a very powerful tomb beast called the Tomb Beast here, has that beast been beaten away by you? ”
When he heard me, the man glanced at me and said, "Is there anything to eat?" ”
I nodded, took some dry food out of my backpack, looked at it, picked some jerky from it, and while gnawing greedily, he said to me, "That's me." ”
"Huh?" Hearing this, we couldn't help but be stunned, looked at him in a daze, and said, "Then how did you become like this?" ”
"Don't mention it, I'm unlucky, I almost died, fortunately you came, otherwise, if you come in later, I guess what you see is my corpse." And he said to us.
Curious, I asked him to tell me what was going on.
After drinking the water, gnawing some more jerky, and regaining some strength, he climbed out of the jade ding, sat down with his back against the stone platform, and told us about the things in this tomb.
It turned out that he was indeed a first-class beast, after the Yellow Emperor caught him, he was imprisoned at first, and then the Yellow Emperor died, so he sealed him in this tomb as a tomb beast, originally, he was a fierce beast of the same level as the ancient beasts, and he needed to eat and drink often to live for a long time, but well, the premise is that he can communicate the qi of heaven and earth, and can absorb the qi of heaven and earth, and after he was sealed, because of the magic circle, he could not communicate the qi of heaven and earth, and the scope of activity was limited to this tomb, This requires regular eating and drinking.
Fortunately, the design of this burial chamber takes this into account, and there is a drip pool in the corner of the burial chamber that can solve his drinking water problem, and there are often some swimming fish in the drip pool, and some mushrooms will grow out, which can be regarded as solving his food problem, so that he has always survived here.
Anyway, if nothing else, he might have stayed in this tomb all the time, but what he didn't expect was that since a little dragon girl pried open the tomb door and ran in many years ago, the pool water here has become less and less, and finally there is no water at all, and then he can only starve.
Fortunately, he is a divine beast, so he has supported it for so long, otherwise, it is estimated that he would have starved to death.
This misfortune is good that we appeared, only to save his life, although he is a well-known beast, but he is not willing to guard the tomb of the Yellow Emperor, not to mention that he is about to die of thirst and starvation, we saved him, so he will say that the treasure in this tomb is ours.
