Chapter Seventy-Seven: Sweat and Blood (2)
In the hellish shadows, there was a rumbling sound, like a pot of boiling water.
This is a sign that the Grave Beast has been triggered to awaken. Then there was a shrill hiss, and a snort, a flirt, and a tail flick......
The sound of horses' hooves, green eyes, and erected manes, no need to whip their hooves. This is a horse, but also a dragon, slender and slender, strong muscles, long shoulders, high neck, Cheng Maxima.
White horses are not horses.
And the shoulders of this snow-white steed seem to be still bleeding? No, it's not blood, it's sweat.
"Sweaty horses!"
The king of Xiaojun called out loudly, he was born in the Mongolian steppe, accustomed to seeing the world's famous horses, but he had never seen the sweat and blood of the horse - Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sacrificed tens of thousands of lives for it and went on an expedition to the Western Regions. Li Ling must have seen the heavenly horses of the Great Wan Kingdom, and even ...... This is Li Ling's own mount? After the death of the general, it is not without precedent for Aima to be buried and go to the netherworld together.
When the horse neighed and rushed to him, a sharp horn grew from the center of his head.
The Hetian warm blood jade pendant on Qin Beiyang's chest was hot. Nine Colors spat out a glass fireball to attack the horse, but it was dodged by its deft leap. When the sweaty horse flew overhead, Qin Beiyang could see clearly the sharp horns on the top of its head, which were different from the nine-colored pair of antlers, which were spiral-shaped single horns, like a long drill bit. Fortunately, he rolled on the ground to dodge, and the horn on the horse's head slammed into the wall of the dungeon, stabbing a hole the size of a bowl on the spot. If it stabs a person's body, it must be poked through the heart and a big hole in the chest.
"Unicorns?"
Wolfna said in Russian, the Westerner legend of the unicorn is a white horse with a spiral-shaped horn.
It is a thousand-year-old immortal beast, both a unicorn and a one-horned sweat and blood horse, from the Western Regions of Dawan, across the Eurasian steppe for 2,000 years.
It is also a grave beast.
With a missed blow, the sweaty horse pulled its horn from the wall and collided head-on with the nine-colored antlers.
The battle of horns and horns is another Mars hitting the Earth. The horse treats them like tomb robbers, no less powerful than the Nine Colors, with more agility and speed.
Qin Beiyang thought to himself that among the 5,000 infantry in Li Ling, there must have been members of the Qin tombsmith clan, who were captured and settled in the Xiongnu with the general. After Li Ling's death, he built a tomb for his master, as well as this bloody BMW tomb beast. I don't know if this Qin clan has spread the skills of tomb beasts on the grassland, and in which ethnic group is there still this bloodline?
He slowly turned to the back of the sweaty horse, borrowed his feet on the wall of the underground palace, rose up, brandished An Lushan's Tang knife, and slashed at the middle of the sweaty horse.
The moment the blade cut through the back of the tomb beast, Qin Beiyang heard the horse's cry of pain.
The four hooves could no longer stand, and the statue fell to the ground with a bang. Nine-colored antlers pierced the chest of the sweaty horse, and the glass fireball burned the horse's head. Li Ling's Tomb Beast lost its resistance and turned into a twitching pile of bronze.
"Nine colors, don't!"
Qin Beiyang knew what the small town tomb beast wanted to do, and his eyes were full of hunger and greed. But in the face of the spirit stone, no one can stop the nine colors. It used its antlers to dig out the heart of a sweaty horse, a steaming black stone covered in foam that would make you dizzy at the sight.
Nine colors ate the heart of the sweaty BMW, this is the spirit stone of the sixth tomb beast it devoured, I really don't know how it can put so many treasures in its small body?
The little king and wolfna came out in a cold sweat, and once thought that they were going to die, and the exploration in the tomb was not something ordinary people could afford.
It was in this third underground palace that they saw Li Ling's coffin.
Coffins after the Tang Dynasty usually had a curvature lid, more like a large boat with a large upper and lower bottom. However, the coffin of the Han Dynasty was a straight line, and the overall structure was a square wooden box.
Qin Beiyang was not a tomb robber and had no intention of destroying this large wooden coffin. He knelt down and kowtowed to the owner of the tomb, begging Li Ling to forgive him for trespassing, and even more forgive Jiu Se for killing the bloody BMW Town Tomb Beast.
Suddenly, Wolfna's screams were heard, and the little county king held her shoulders and found two rotten skeletons lying in the dungeon.
Qin Beiyang walked in the ghost and shadow forest in the underground palace, and found that there were scattered armor pieces on the skeleton, which was the mountain armor that only existed after the Song Dynasty, while the Han Dynasty was mostly pierced armor or fish scale armor. There is a waist knife from the Ming and Qing dynasties on the ground, not the ring-headed knife of the Han Dynasty. Judging from the shape of the pelvis of the two bones, it appears to be a man and a woman.
"Tomb robbers?"
"Most of the thieves in the second dungeon were dug down by them." The ribs and vertebrae of the two skeletons were obviously broken and damaged, and Qin Beiyang judged, "The Sweat and Blood BMW Town Tomb Beast killed them, and the single horn penetrated the body." ”
Behind the skeleton is a copper tube with a circular bulge in the middle and a patina on the surface. Qin Beiyang picked it up and weighed it, like a stubby shotgun, hollow in front and back, and there were holes on the surface. The northerners still use the three-eyed gun, which is very similar to this thing, except that it is a three-barreled one, and the back is fixed with a wooden stick to hold it.
"Firecracker!" The king of Xiaojun recognized it and was amazed, "The firearms invented in the Yuan Dynasty are also the main force of firearms in the Ming Dynasty." ”
"How can there be a fire gun in the Li Mausoleum of the Han Dynasty?"
Looking at this fire gun from the Yuan and Ming dynasties, the oldest hot weapon of mankind, Qin Beiyang was puzzled, and Wolfna shouted: "What is that?" ”
Still the woman's eyes were sensitive, and she pointed to the waist of the woman's skeleton, where there was a treasure box encrusted with agate gemstones.
What's in the crate? Qin Beiyang was not afraid of dead corpses, and said in a low voice, "Offended!" He took out the box from the woman's skeleton.
A Ming Dynasty treasure box in the tomb chamber of Li in the Western Han Dynasty.
"Isn't this Guan Gong fighting Qin Qiong?"
The little king muttered, and it took them a long time to open the treasure box, only to see a large stamp.
I don't know what jade material? The color is green and shiny, and it is about three inches thick. The small monster carved on the back is like a dragon not a dragon, a phoenix is not a phoenix, a unicorn is not a unicorn, and a turtle is not a turtle.
Qin Beiyang picked up this stamp, weighing seven or eight pounds, and carefully dragged it in the palm of his hand, it really looked like the nine-colored god of the town's tomb beast. The carving of this mythical beast is rough and simple, looking like a craftsman of the Qin and Han dynasties, with a residual leather shell on the surface, and a smooth and thick pulp, which is obviously thousands of years old, which should be far earlier than the Ming Dynasty.
However, the treasure box outside is an iron tool, and the words "Ming Yongle Year Imperial System" are printed at the bottom, which is only 500 years ago.
He turned the front of the stamp over and found that a corner was missing. Looking carefully through the glass fireball, in a white background, there are a bunch of dragons flying and phoenix dancing figures, I don't understand what it means?
"Who has ink?"
Qin Beiyang said casually, but he didn't expect the little county king to carry the seal and ink of the congressman, so he took out the letter paper on his body and dipped the ancient seal in the ink and stamped it.
Eight Chinese characters with intricate strokes appear on the paper, which look like hieroglyphs and the Six Kingdoms script of the pre-Qin period.
The little county king exclaimed: "Isn't this an insect and bird seal?" When I was a child, the royal palace of Ordos County invited Mr. from Suzhou to teach me Chinese characters. That gentleman is proficient in seal carving, the stunt is this insect and bird seal, many Wu Yue swords in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period have this kind of inscription, and later it is mostly seen in the seal of the Han Dynasty, "Shuowen Jiezi" is listed as one of the eight bodies of the Qin book. ”
"You might recognize the meaning of those eight words?"
"Let me see......" The little king almost took out a magnifying glass, and looked at it word by word, his expression was first frightened, then joyful, and finally solemn, "Impossible!" It can't be true! This ......"
