Chapter Seventy-Three: The Death of Immortality
"No!"
Between the lightning and flint, it was too late for Qin Beiyang and Haneda Taishu to stop it.
Blood, blood from more than two thousand years ago, gushed out of Xu Fu's chest, and the bronze sword that accompanied him in his burial pierced his heart.
His blood was black, almost spraying Kogi's face, causing him to scream loudly in horror and spread his hands.
The bronze sword of the Qin Dynasty was still inserted in Xu Fu's chest. This old alchemist, who pursues immortality and yearns to witness the world of Datong, doesn't seem to believe that he would die like this? Died so badly, at the hands of such an unknown junior?
Even if you are immortal for thousands of years, you will inevitably die of blood and immortality.
"人薓5年、下天のうちを比ぶれば、夢幻の如くなり!"
Among all the people present, only Hikari was so quiet, whispering the words of Kowaka's dance "Tsumori", which was also the sentence that Oda Nobunaga sang before the surprise attack on the barrel Sasama.
Qin Beiyang realized, put his arm around the little girl's shoulders and said, "Don't say it's fifty years, what if it's two thousand years?" ”
Before the words fell, Xu Fu's two-thousand-year-old body had instantly decayed......
The skin separated from the muscles and turned into pieces of feathers, and as the black blood rose into the air, the internal organs and brain quickly shrank, like dust and ashes, leaving only a handful of rotten dry bones!
Xiao Mu's scalp was numb, looking at the wreckage in the sarcophagus, the bronze sword that was still standing, and thought to himself that even Xu Fu, who had lived for two thousand years, was killed by him, who else in the world was worth fearing?
So, he reopened the lacquered wooden box, took out a red elixir, and stuffed it into his mouth.
The hot and spicy taste is like putting peppercorns, and the whole mouth and tongue are numb. He didn't dare to chew with his teeth, so he swallowed it alive.
Is it really the elixir of immortality? Hell knows! Maybe it is, maybe it isn't, maybe it's a deadly poison?
Qin Beiyang, Guang, Haneda Taishu, Qi Yuanshan, including the town's tomb beast Nine Colors, all looked at the small wood on the sarcophagus in amazement.
This little tomb robber in his early twenties has just done two major things that no one has completed in the past two thousand years - killing Xu Fu and taking the elixir of immortality.
If you add that in the coffin of the Bailuyuan Tomb, Xiao Mu and the little prince of the Tang Dynasty kissed for a thousand years, and between the staggered fates, he has done three earth-shattering things to cry ghosts and gods!
"No! In order to survive, we have to take the elixir of immortality! ”
Qi Yuanshan grabbed a handful of Qin Dynasty Tiege, and was about to go up and fight with Xiao Mu, but he didn't expect that the long handle of this Ge happened to hit the head of the sleeping boy and girl tomb beast.
The virgin opened her eyes and glowed green.
In a moment, the virgin turned into a virgin. This ancient boy and girl tomb beast had been hypnotized by the "Oriental Girl" of Qin Beiyang's "Book of Songs: Qi Feng", but it was awakened by human intrusion again. It constantly transforms two faces, sometimes sad, sometimes cheerful, sometimes contemplative......
She (she) climbed to the side of the sarcophagus and saw that Xu Fu, the owner of the tomb who had guarded him for two thousand years, had turned into dry bones and ashes, and not only howled and cried, but also showed a fierce light in his eyes.
As for the damned tomb robber Xiao Mu, who had anointed the soles of his feet with lacquered wooden boxes containing the elixir of immortality, he didn't know where he had fled.
The young Qilin Town Tomb Beast Nine Colors, rushed in front of Qin Beiyang, and was about to fight to the death with this boy and girl Town Tomb Beast.
"Stop!"
Qin Beiyang stopped the battle attempt of the Nine Colors.
Because, the light rushed up. The twelve-year-old girl, smiling at the boys and girls, began to sing—
かごめかごめ
籠の中の鳥は いついつ出やる
夜明けの晩に
鶴と亀と滑った
後ろの正面だあれ
The girl's singing voice was tactful like a tinkling of flowing water, echoing between the vaults of Xu Fu's underground palace, and Qin Beiyang understood the meaning with some difficulty-
Caged Girl, Caged Girl
When will the caged bird come out
In the dark of dawn
The crane and the turtle slipped
Who is the person behind it?
"Kagome Song?"
Taiki Haneda understands that this is a game nursery rhyme that is well known to Japanese women and children, and has been passed down since the Muromachi period. One child pretends to be a ghost, squats down blindfolded, and the other children sing the song around the "ghost". If the child who pretends to be a ghost guesses who is behind it, he will take over as a ghost if he is guessed. The Japanese call the fetus that dies in the womb "mizuko", and until reincarnation, it will always hide behind the back of relatives, which is the "baby spirit". This nursery rhyme has a strange atmosphere that makes people's backs chill when you listen to it, and it is said to come from a religious sacrifice ceremony. Just singing this nursery rhyme is almost pretending to be a baby spirit.
The boys and girls of the Xu Fu era, even the ancestors of the Japanese, could not understand modern Japanese, but they could sense a certain breath in this song. Qin Beiyang motioned for everyone to be quiet, he had faith in the light.
Sure enough, the boy and the girl were also intoxicated by this nursery rhyme, and even temporarily forgot that the tomb owner had been scattered. Perhaps, after more than 2,000 years, the function of this tomb beast has deteriorated a lot, just like an old man's memory is severely declining, and he often forgets why he exists? Only the innocence remains.
Qin Beiyang walked to Guang's side, and said to the boy and girl in a Shandong accent: "Brother, sister, what is the way out?" ”
He (she) actually understood, and the boy and the girl suppressed the tomb beast, and went to the other side of the underground palace, and there was a very hidden crack hidden in the corner.
Everyone saw Xiao Mu's back flickering, and his thin body had disappeared into the cracks. This cunning guy hid in the shadows just now, observing the movements of the tomb beast, and took the opportunity to find an escape path.
Qin Beiyang beckoned everyone to catch up, followed the boy and the girl to the tomb beast, and passed through the crack at the end of the underground palace, just like Tao Yuanming's "The Story of the Peach Blossom Spring" "From the mouth." At the beginning, it is extremely narrow, and only then can it be passed. Dozens of steps back, suddenly enlightened......"
Enlightened.
Qin Beiyang's eyes are going blind! All around them were lit up with fire, and they shone like day. There are large fields here, peach blossoms swaying in the spring breeze, waterfalls flowing down from the hillside, and the mighty water passing through, I really want to go up and say "The son is on the river, and the deceased is like Sifu"! He saw a large area of water, Langya Terrace stood by the wind, behind it was clearly Laoshan Mountain, and there was a towering Mount Tai in the distance. There is also a huge city, according to the rare figures rubbing shoulders, isn't this Linzi, the capital of Qi State? Overhead, there are even the sun, moon and stars, twenty-eight constellations, and the Big Dipper, which radiate brilliance at the same time......
This is the hometown of Confucius and Mencius, Guan Zhong and Bao Shuya, Sun Wu and Sun Bin, Xu Fu's three thousand boys and girls, in the distant Japanese archipelago, miss this seaside homeland, so in the depths of Xu Fu's underground palace, built an underground Qilu world, accompanied by the immortal tomb owner in the coffin.
Qi Yuanshan claimed to be a descendant of the Qi Kingdom, and went up to touch the peach blossoms in a hurry, only to find out that it was fake!
Everything in the entire Qilu "Peach Blossom Spring" is fake, strictly speaking, it is a dark weapon, but it is made with great momentum, as if it is fake and real. Everyone was shocked, and Xiao Mu opened his mouth and drooled. Haneda Taiki knelt down and kowtowed, his ancestors were one of these boys and girls.
Where is Kogi? Qin Beiyang wielded the ring-headed Tang knife, and he still had to settle accounts with him.
Suddenly, a small black thing appeared in the water, like a boy of four or five years old, whose skin was black for a while, blue for a while, and red for a while, and it changed color according to the environment and light. The child had a strange face, covered in scales, weed-like hair, a saucer on top of his head, and webbed fingers......
“KAPPA!”
