Chapter 25: The Spirit Animal is Born

The dragon on the portrait painting has a pair of majestic snow-white antlers. A pair of bronze bell-like eyes, glowing green and faint. The neck is covered with a red mane, like a lion or a Tibetan mastiff. The body is multi-colored, sometimes golden, sometimes snow-white, and sometimes reddish-brown like the mane. Maybe it's the leopard-print fur, maybe it's the scales, it's like a fish scale armor, only the waist and abdomen are smooth. Its limbs are stubby and it has claws that resemble those of a tiger and leopard. Finally, there is a cluster of red lion tails, the end of which resembles a round ball, like a stone lion at the entrance of the yamen. But looking at the whole body, it looks like a miniature version of an elk.

No, it's not a miniature version, it's a juvenile version. Just like baby buffalo and baby elephant, they are born to surpass adult cats and dogs. Xiao Mu remembered the toy he had just seen, indicating that the owner of the tomb was a child, and the tomb beast might also be a young beast. The form of the underage, the proportions of the head, limbs and body can be seen. For example, when humans are children, the largest is always the head, and the nose and limbs are relatively short, and then they slowly grow taller...... According to the current proportions, if it eventually grows into an adult, it will be a behemoth.

Surprisingly, it is agile enough to see everything in dark corners without the need for light.

It saw Kogi wearing a gas mask.

It was the first time that Kogi had seen the Tomb Beast with his own eyes, but his heart was cold, and he thought that this would be the last time he saw it.

The young beast opened its mouth, and instead of the large mouth of the imagined blood, it had a row of thick incisors, unlike the wild dogs that had sharp canine teeth. Growing up in the countryside, Kogi understands that this is not an animal that can bite people. Before it could rejoice, a fireball erupted from its throat.

Burning green glass.

Xiao Mu, who was hiding in the urn, subconsciously raised his left hand to block. In an instant, the fireball burned his left ring finger. After the sharp pain in the heart, the flames did not spread to the body. Xiao Mu had a jade ring on his middle finger that he had picked up from under the urn - this jade ring had saved his life.

The town gravebeast stared at the ring, believing that it belonged to its owner, and raised its front paws to snatch it back. In order to save the remaining four fingers, Xiao Mu quickly took off the ring and threw out the Tang Sancai urn jar.

The weight of the jade ring was not light, and it quickly flew into the darkness. The young beast actually flew into the air with four hooves, jumped up and caught the jade ring with its mouth, just like a circus animal taming performance, otherwise the jade ring would definitely shatter if it fell on the floor tiles.

Xiao Mu thought to himself that it was over, and this monster would come to settle accounts with him. Sure enough, the antlers and head of the tomb beast reappeared above the urn......

At the last moment, a gunshot broke the dead silence of the dungeon. Kogi saw the baby beast's head, which happened to be hit by a bullet. The warhead bounced off the flesh and rolled to the ground with a metallic reverberation.

The Tomb Beast looked back at the entrance of the dungeon.

The brigade commander came. He wears a dark blue Beiyang military uniform, and the five-pointed star badge on the large cap is arranged in five colors: red, yellow, blue, white, and black. He had a Browning gun in his hand, and it was still smoking. He was followed by a large group of men and horses, carrying a German-made Maxim heavy machine gun. There was also a searchlight that pierced the monster in the eye.

The cub spread its four legs and rushed towards the uninvited guests from the 20th century, and before it could open its mouth to breathe fire, a machine gun fired.

The world is quiet.

This 1,300-year-old tomb, along with the entire Tang Dynasty, was quiet.

All that remains is the whistling of bullets in the air, the crash and crackle of hitting metal......

The Maxim heavy machine gun, with a capacity of 333 rounds, a 6.4-meter canvas belt, and a theoretical rate of fire of 600 rounds per minute, can destroy a big tree in one minute, or destroy an army. It was one of the most powerful killing machines of its time, slaughtering millions of Caucasian men behind the trenches and barbed wire of Europe.

The soldiers threw dozens more grenades, and by the time the two bullet belts of the Makqin machine gun were gone, the dungeon had been completely destroyed. The floor tiles are piled with metal bullet casings, and the smell of gunpowder fills the air, just like after the fireworks have been set off during the Chinese New Year. Xiao Mu poked his head out of the urn again, and through the smoke, he saw that the town's tomb beast was covered with bullet holes, as if it had been pierced by a random arrow, and like Achilles who was shot in the heel under the city of Troy, and fell to the ground with a bang.

Countless soldiers rushed forward with bayonets and stabbed the young beast wildly, as if they wanted to dissect the beast and avenge the burnt brothers. Xiao Mu remembered his burned fingers, and screamed in pain, he was rescued by the health soldiers, quickly disinfected and wrapped in gauze.

The brigade commander took off Beiyang's military hat, looked at the subdued tomb beast and said, "This is not that and that...... Four is not like? ”

Xiao Mu was helped to the side, and he also glanced at it and said, "It's kind of that meaning!" The legendary four dislikes: like a dragon but not a dragon, like a phoenix but not a phoenix, like a unicorn and not a unicorn, like a turtle but not a turtle. ”

"It's a very hard piece of armor!" The brigade commander was so bold that he tapped on the scales on the back of the young beast, and sure enough, a metallic voice sounded, "This thing is metal!" It has not rusted in the ground for more than a thousand years, and it is shining gold, and it is estimated to be bronze. ”

The brigade commander said that they had been waiting on the ground for most of the day, and seeing that it was getting dark, they decided to send a second group of men down. This time, the brigade commander personally led the team, captured a hundred soldiers, and carried a Makqin machine gun. They also encountered that period of stagnant water, as if they came out to eat people. Fortunately, there was a machine gun, and a long bullet was fired directly into the water, completely suppressing those water monsters. They sent people to bring stones and earth from the ground, and they directly filled up all the stagnant water, so that they could pass safely.

The brigade commander proudly blew the muzzle of the gun, saying that he was subduing demons and eliminating demons and eliminating harm for the people. The soldiers were unable to dismember the town grave beast, so they had to tie it up with iron chains.

Continue to move forward until the end of the underground palace, on the coffin bed of the Sumeru seat, there is a huge catalpa wooden coffin.

Xiao Mu looked at the bound town tomb beast, its mouth closed, and maybe it was biting the jade ring. He heard something...... A language that is completely intelligible, but the closer you get to it, the clearer the sound becomes. He crouched down with courage and put his ears under the antlers, convinced that the cub was speaking to him. All the soldiers around him didn't react, could it be that he was the only one who could hear it?

He struck a stir, and his fingers burned by the glass fireball were still in severe pain, so he had better stay away from this monster.

Slowly approaching the coffin, Xiao Mu found a mottled stone tablet, densely filled with words. There are also bamboo-like things, but they are white and yellow, and the weight is still very heavy, which is originally made of whole Hetian jade.

"Jade Mourning Book! Many of the tombs have them with eulogies written on them. ”

Sure enough, the jade slip is engraved with words, and all of them are filled with gold, the font is regular script, and a few words can be vaguely identified at the beginning of the "King of the Southern County of the Great Zhou Dynasty".

Tufuzi Xiaomu has not read a book, and knows that this "Great Zhou" is Wu Zetian's country name. The owner of the tomb, "King Zhongnanjun", can be concluded to be the little prince of the Tang Dynasty, that is, the grandson of Wu Zetian and Gaozong Li Zhi.

Next, the most important moment of tomb robbery - the opening of the coffin.

A group of soldiers climbed onto the coffin of the catalpa wood, and they couldn't open the lid of the coffin for a long time, but Xiao Mu came to instruct: "From the foot of the coffin, cut it with an axe, this is the weakest point." ”

Two young and strong soldiers picked up their sapper axes and smashed them into the coffin. Thousands of years later, the azusa wood is still extremely hard, and every time it is smashed, it makes a loud noise, echoing in the underground palace for a long time. The coffins of the emperors of the past dynasties are called Azusa Palace, which is the reason for Azusa wood.

The coffin was split open by the sapper axe, and within a moment, a large hole was broken in the coffin. People held their breath and looked in with searchlights, and between the light and shadow, a rare figure appeared.
