Chapter 28: The Yellow-Eared Dog (1)
Qin Beiyang and Jiuse bowed down to the broken stone coffin three times - the owner of this tomb is Lu Yun's brother, Lu Ji in the literary history of Wei and Jin.
There is a lacquer box next to the epitaph, Qin Beiyang opened it carefully, only to see a brittle and thin hemp paper, but it was full of messy handwriting, which was actually a "chapter grass" with the legacy of the Han Dynasty.
By the light of the horse lantern, he found that the bamboo slips were written like calligraphy, between the Wei and Jin dynasties, and it was quite difficult to identify-
"Yellow ears, I love dogs. I tasted the joke dog and said: I have no letters in my family, can you get the news? The yellow ear is more than a thousand miles, crossing the river, to the clouds, and has to return to Luo. Yellow-eared pawn, I am sad, buried in the clouds, piled up with yellow-eared mounds. ”
It's hard to read through, and maybe there are still mistakes, so it's up to a big gold stone scientist to be conclusive. However, these few lines of text are more like ancient notes, with a slightly green ink, written in a bald pen on hemp paper, and the pen is tactful and simple.
After the invention of papermaking, all short words written on paper or silk were called postes. This post is undoubtedly the handwriting of the owner of the tomb, Lu Ji, and the content is about a dog-
Lu Ji came out of the capital city of Luoyang and brought a beautiful dog from his hometown, named "Yellow Ear". Zhang Jiying, a literati of the same era, was also born in Soochow, and when he saw the autumn wind rising, he missed the perch in his hometown. Lu Ji joked with his dog: Can you send me a letter back to my hometown? The dog was eager to try, and Lu Ji really wrote a post, stuffed it into a bamboo tube, and hung it around the dog's neck.
Back then, Qin Beiyang was in the "Heavenly Library" on Taibai Mountain, and when he read "The Book of Jin: The Biography of Lu Ji" and "The Legend of Differences", he felt that Lu Ji's heart was really big. Unexpectedly, Huang Er was like an old horse who knew the way, went south along the post road, hunted and ate meat when he was hungry, and when he encountered a big river, he pretended to be pitiful at the ferry, and let people take it across the river. Huang Er returned to Huating Valley, and his family repaired another book, which was also stuffed into Huang Er's bamboo tube, so that it returned to Luoyang the same way, running back and forth for thousands of miles, which can be called a divine dog. After Huang Er's death, Lu Jihou buried the dog, gathered soil as a grave in his hometown, and the world called it "Huang Er Mound".
This place is called "Prime Minister's Tomb" and also known as "Yellow Ear Mound". It turned out that the "prime minister" was Lu Ji, who had been the official and the general, and the "yellow ear" was the skeleton in the small coffin. The owner and the pet are buried in one place, with affection and righteousness, and a beginning and an end.
Qin Beiyang once again bowed to the coffin with the nine colors, paying tribute to the yellow ear of the sacred dog 1,600 years ago.
"Nine colors, nine colors, if I die in the future, you will guard my grave?"
The town grave beast nodded, and yes.
"You two don't be nostalgic!" Or Lao Jin said truthfully, "Look over there!" ”
Following the direction of Lao Jin's finger, a pair of green eyes lit up in the corner of the dungeon.
"Phew!" Qin Beiyang pulled out the three-foot Tang knife behind his back, "Ah Hai come out!" ”
The Ahai people didn't come out, but the voice came out first, but it was not a human voice, but a dog barking.
Dogs in tombs?
"The hosts! Lao Jin I am a 'tomb hunter', digging countless graves, many ancient tombs that have been stolen and excavated, because of the robbery of holes, often become animal nests, not to mention wild dogs, wild cats and hares, I have even seen tigers and leopard nests! ”
Before Lao Jin's words fell, a dog burst out, with a metallic luster, and there was not a single dog hair on his body, but it was similar to the scale armor on the nine-colored body. The tail of this "dog", with obvious exposed joints, like a nine-section steel whip, clamped between the two strands, is obviously coming to duel. The "dog" mouth did not drip out of the birth fluid, but showed its large gold teeth, and let out a grunting warning. The small body, which resembles a Chinese pastoral dog, exudes billowing heat, like a powder keg about to explode......
Yellow-eared little dog town grave beast!
Qin Beiyang instantly gave it a name, and in the tomb of Luji in the clouds, there is also the "Yellow Ear Post" handwritten by the owner of the tomb, which shows that it is the incarnation of Yellow Ear.
But Qin Beiyang and Lao Jin did not panic, this tomb beast was not a big monster, it was almost the same size as the grass dog Shiba Inu. This is also the first time that Nine Colors has encountered a tomb beast that is smaller than himself.
Without the master's order, Nine Colors erupted into a glass fireball, which slammed into Huang Er's body like lightning. In the past, when encountering a huge tomb beast, this fireball can also cause the opponent to suffer heavy damage, and this puppy-like tomb beast is probably about to explode on the spot, right?
Qin Beiyang was about to sigh for Lu Ji's dog, and closed his eyes not wanting to see this tragic situation, but he heard a crisp collision sound, only to see the glass fireball hit the head of the yellow-eared little dog town tomb beast, as if the return ball hit the wall, and bounced back intact, instantly hitting Jiuse's body.
At the last moment, the young Qilin Town Tomb Beast resisted with its antlers. The glazed fireball passed through the refraction of the other tomb beast, and treated it in the way of others, and with the violent impact of the force, it actually made Jiu Se step on the surface of the underground palace, retreating dozens of feet, under the four hooves, sparks splashed everywhere, and the floor tiles shattered.
In a burst of dog barking, the yellow-eared puppy had already jumped up, so fast that it was connected into a string of golden copper coins in Qin Beiyang's eyes, like a photograph of countless shutter presses.
Farmers often say that barking dogs don't bite people, and vice versa. Jiuse was confused by the barking of the yellow ear, thinking that it was just a weak Chinese pastoral dog, and he couldn't imagine that the yellow-eared puppy, as a tomb beast, was more powerful than the most fierce grimace mastiff king. And the yellow ear is petite, and it happens to be more agile than all fierce dogs, just right to avoid the nine-colored antlers, and bite the shoulder of the young Qilin Town Tomb from the side.
Nine colors paid the price for their underestimating enemies.
Huang Er's mouth is not big, but the teeth are extremely sharp, and the strength comes from the mechanical force given by the spirit stone of the tomb beast, which has been accumulated for thousands of years, like a jack and like an impact drill, immediately breaking the nine-colored bronze shell and biting open two canine-sized openings.
The young Qilin Town Tomb Beast turned its head angrily, but Yellow Ear just bit it and didn't let go, as if its teeth had taken root on Nine-Color's shoulder. In this way, the nine-colored antlers can't reach the back of his head, and the glass fireball can't be aimed and shot. Qin Beiyang was worried, this is a fighting strategy that only the top fighting dogs in the dog fighting ring will use.
Hearing the painful roar of the deer in Jiuse, Qin Beiyang was so anxious that he was about to fly and stab with a Tang knife, but he heard a familiar erhu sound......
The town tomb is beastly and happy with the palace Shang Yin rhythm, and the wind is elegant and bamboo.
Sure enough, Huang Er stopped the second attack, got down from Jiu Color's shoulder, supported the ground with his front legs, and watched from an offensive to a defensive posture.
As a top "tomb hunter", Lao Jin is proficient in various musical instruments, the best at Chinese folk music, and one person can make up a band for rural red and white ceremonies!
I thought that the nine colors that ate the other party in one bite were injured, and my strength quickly exhausted, and I was unable to launch an assault again, so I could only kick the ground with my hooves and bluff.
Qin Beiyang took advantage of the situation to raise An Lushan's Tang knife, to fight with the yellow-eared little dog tomb beast, and the underground palace suddenly sounded a crackling cannon sound, almost piercing the eardrum, and immediately suppressed Lao Jin's erhu.
Noise replaced music, gunsmoke replaced cold weapons, and Huang Er rushed over frantically. Nine Colors regained their spirits and barely fended off its onslaught with its antlers......
