Chapter 55: The Pillar
Being able to see the legendary creature 'revealed' its true face, to be honest, surprise and excitement are part of my emotions, and fear is much more. Fastest update access: щщщ.79XS.сОΜ.
When I saw this black dragon 'revealed' its face, I had a deep understanding of what it means to be called a good dragon of Ye Gong.
Are dragons that scary?
To be honest, it looks like a dragon in myths and legends, and it doesn't look scary.
Compared to the injustices I have encountered, this dragon is far less terrible than terrible.
But that kind of shock from the heart, the surprise of seeing the totem of the Chinese nation with my own eyes, is something I can't digest in a short time.
It's pretty much what I imagined.
The appearance of this dragon is decent, and it has the characteristics of nine resemblances in traditional culture.
"The head is like a camel, the horns are like a deer, the eyes are like a rabbit, the ears are like a cow, the neck is like a snake, the belly is like a mirage, the scales are like a carp, the claws are like an eagle, and the palm is like a tiger......" Kong Baiyang's eyes widened, looking at this scene as if in a dream, and muttered: "It turns out that my master didn't lie to me...... There really are living dragons in this world!! ”
I was also stunned, looking at the black dragon motionlessly, and didn't say anything for a long time.
Chen Qiuyan's reaction was much calmer than we imagined, she looked at the black dragon, her eyes were a little dazed, as if she remembered something, and the whole person fell into a state of stalemate.
The black dragon didn't seem to take us seriously, it didn't even look at us, and continued to make a sound similar to a bull's roar in its throat, wrapping itself around the Nine Cockroach God.
It's like a python wrapping around its prey, its movements are very slow, but it is very powerful, not giving the Nine Cockroaches a chance to struggle and escape at all.
At this moment, I noticed that the black dragon had a chain wrapped around its neck.
It was supposed to be an iron chain, as thick as a washbasin, and the surface was rusty, and the signs of corrosion were very serious.
Look down the chain, under the jaw of the black dragon..... That is, around its neck, a metal ball at least the size of a water tank hangs.
Of course, it was only at first that I would see it as a ball, and listening to the sound of the jingle bell in the back, I realized that it seemed to be a bell.
And the shape of this bell is still a little familiar, it seems that I have seen it somewhere, but the specifications are not so big.
"Old Shen, that black dragon hangs around his neck.... It's a brass bell, right?? Kong Baiyang's eyesight is stronger than mine, half-squinting, motionless to observe the big bell: "The shape is 'very' familiar, as if it is the same style as the bell hanging around the neck of a rat!" ”
"Are you sure??" I hurriedly asked, and suddenly remembered what I had talked about with Wenren Bodhisattva, and hurriedly asked, "Is there a word on the copper bell?" ”
"Can't you see such a big word?" Kong Baiyang said with a smile.
"There's fog in the way, I can't see the details clearly..... Isn't that a 'flower' pattern?? I couldn't help but ask.
Kong Baiyang looked at it carefully and said, there are 'flower' patterns around, but in the middle is a concave letter.
"Is that word Chen?" I asked.
Kong Baiyang snorted and looked at me funny: "Can't you see clearly?" What are you asking me for? ”
"I guessed." I sighed.
It's no wonder that something has been wrong since the rat went out to sea...... No wonder it reacts differently than usual...... For a long time, what is hidden in this ancient well is its old acquaintance!
Not long ago, I talked to Wenren Bodhisattva about the brass bell on the neck of the rat.
He had seen not only brass bells in the rat, but also bells of the same style in another dog.
On the copper bell in front of the 'chest' of the rat, the engraved word is a son.
On the copper bell of the dog, the word engraved is 戌.
With these two examples here, it is enough to show that these copper bells are very likely to correspond to the twelve earthly branches, which also correspond to the legendary twelve zodiac signs......
But no matter how you look at it, this black dragon can't get along with the rats, one big and one small, this momentum is simply very different, not to mention their ability!
Among the 12 zodiac signs, Chenlong is ranked behind the rat, so its ability should not be as big as the rat...... Isn't the zodiac sign arranged by ability? Is it something else that determines the ranking?
When I remembered the folk tales I had heard when I was a child, I was immediately 'lost'......
These brutes aren't really going to be ranked by racing, are they??
But this is also possible, after all, the rat is born timid, and the ability to escape is definitely better than anyone else, and it will not necessarily lose to others when playing a race and sprinting.
"Isn't the dragon able to soar through the clouds......" Kong Baiyang muttered, looking at the black dragon, his expression gradually became a little disappointed: "Why do you look like a python......."
"Who told you that dragons will soar through the clouds? Didn't you ask your Master? I sighed, "Let's look at it from a different angle, it's fine, you can just think of it as a rare animal with a relatively large size, not so many fantasy things." ”
I have to say that when this black dragon dealt with the Nine Blade God, there was only one means, and that was to entangle.
It was very similar to a snake animal, it seemed to want to strangle the Nine Cockroach God alive, and after completely wrapping its huge body around the Nine Cockroach Goddess, it began to tighten its body.
In this process, the scales on the black dragon's body are moving, and they are moving flickering.
The scales are separated from the flesh and blood, and can stand up independently and then cover them back.
It kept repeating the motion, as if it were breathing.
The black dragon's body is also covered with a layer of extremely fishy mucus, and the smell is what I smelled before, similar to the aggravated smell of dead fish and rotten shrimp, which is particularly smoky and spicy to the eyes.
"The rat didn't come out?" Kong Baiyang looked left and right, and asked me with some curiosity: "Chenlong has come out, where is this rat still hiding?" ”
Hearing this question, my heart, which I had just put down, suddenly came up again.
Oh, yes...... Where's the rat cub?!
If it's going into the water to find a helper, or to give Chenlong a hand, then it's time for it to 'show up'!
When I thought of this, my heart became even more nervous, and I looked at the Nine Gods who were wrapped in black 'color' evil qi all over my body.
"It should be fine, if it has an accident, it can't stay here, it must all be dispersed." I whispered, even if I was answering Kong Baiyang, I was also comforting myself.
At this time, a very strange sound suddenly came from the side of the ancient well.
It sounded like a friction sound, that was it..... Friction between stone bricks and stone bricks......
"Pillar!!" Kong Baiyang said coldly, the whole person became excited, and took a step forward.
I was frightened by his voice, and asked in a daze, "What pillar?" ”
"The pillar that Sister Chen said!! Over there!! ”
Kong Baiyang said anxiously, raised his hand and pointed to the ancient well.
Following the direction he pointed, I looked all the way over, and saw that on the right side of the ancient well, a pillar made of 'jade' stone suddenly appeared.
This 'jade' stone pillar is not thick, it is about the same as a rolling pin, only about half a meter high, and it is drilled out of the pile of 'jade' pieces, as if there is a mechanism, rubbing upwards.
When the 'dew' came out close to seventy or eighty centimeters, the 'jade' stone pillar stopped, standing motionless, with an extremely faint green light on its body......
At the same time, directly opposite it, that is, to the left of the ancient well, a 'jade' stone pillar also emerged.
"I'm on my left, you're on your right." Kong Baiyang said in a low voice, without hesitation: "Now that the Nine Blades God is tied up by the black dragon, we have a chance, we can take advantage of this time to press the 'jade' pillar back!" ”
I didn't hesitate, nodded straightforwardly, and said okay.
"Sister Chen, don't go over, let's go, you stay here, stay in place."
Hearing my words, Chen Qiuyan raised her head and glanced at me, the expression on her face was a little lighter, not as painful as just now.
"You have to be careful, that monster won't let you press the 'jade' pillar back, that's its last chance."
"I understand."
As I spoke, I patted Kong Baiyang on the shoulder, 'touched' a pack of cigarettes from my waterproof backpack, took out one and lit it, and silently 'smoked' it.
Without waiting for Chen Qiuyan to say anything more, I trotted over with Kong Baiyang, my steps were a little eager, and I paid attention to the Nine Turtle God while running.
Although its 'flesh' body was wrapped in the evil aura of the rat, through that layer of black mist, I could still feel the 'yin' poisonous and cruel gaze of the Nine Cockroach God.......
"It seems to be watching us." Kong Baiyang said in a low voice.
"It's not like it, it's a fact."
I looked away, no longer paying attention to this monster, stuffed my head, and ran with Kong Baiyang.
At this time, I couldn't directly see the eyes of the Nine Gods.
Because the fog is so thick that it is impossible to see through it at all.
But it's that indescribable feeling that really scares me.
