Tomb of the Serpent King Chapter 14 The Place of Bones
The burial ground, as the name suggests, is where the remains of the dead are buried.
A huge layer of rock, due to age, cracked a huge gap. Following the analysis, people with thin stature can only pass sideways.
Behind the rock formation, there is an underground lake. The bottomless water of the lake is bubbling with bubbles. The air was filled with the smell of ammonia mixed with sulfur.
The rock wall is surrounded by a peculiar plant, and its thick rhizomes are covered with long, crimson whiskers that stretch down the rock wall to the bottom of the water. Until the darkness of the depths, I don't know where it leads.
With the light emitted by the microorganisms eaten by the 'Ying Shrimp' in the four corners of the rock wall, Tang Bagu no longer needed to light her magical lantern to see everything about Zhou Wei clearly.
In the center of the lake is a small island, where there are not rows of coffins, but piles of white bones, forming countless hills.
Among those white bones, there were countless holes and skulls, and the sporadic phosphorus fire occasionally flickered. It was as if countless people were blinking. That's thousands of years in the blink of an eye.
Tang Bagu stared blankly at the scene in front of her, but she didn't move. Wang Jin didn't know what she was thinking. So, from the crack in the stone on the shore, he pulled out an iron rope with his hand.
At the other end of the iron cable, a black iron boat was slowly dragged by him.
The transmission of the iron ship has been subjected to the steaming of sulfur water all year round, and is covered with layers of white water alkali.
Wang Jin jumped on the boat and beckoned Tang Bagu to go up.
Tang Bagu saw him pick up a black oar in his hand, which seemed to be very heavy. At the same time, seeing Wang Jin's oblique 'dragon scale rhino blood' on the side, it turned out that this oar was also made of meteorites. It is no wonder that ordinary metal, for such a long time, has long been corroded clean.
She was worried about what would happen if she fell into the water. So, he crouched down and brought his face closer to the surface of the lake. Suddenly I felt a wave of heat hit me. With a pungent smell, the whole person was shaken.
Be careful, that's Wang Jin's voice.
Tang Bagu raised her head, looked at the center of the lake not far away, and gritted her teeth and got on the iron boat.
With a flick of the oars, the iron boat slowly rowed towards the middle of the lake. Tang Bagu immediately saw that in the steaming water, countless roots and whiskers immediately swam. It's like the tentacles of thousands of octopuses, looking for prey.
Wang Jin's voice was also full of timidity: No, it's okay. These things can't get out of the water. As soon as it touches the air, it dies.
Hearing Wang Jin's words, Tang Bagu felt a little more relaxed. At the junction of the lake and the rock wall, many tentacles crawled out of the water, and immediately turned into black, stiff tree trunks. Looking at these tree trunks, layer upon layer of stacking and intertwining, there is no trace of artificiality, it seems that this underground natural cave does not know how many years it has been here. A thousand, or 10,000 years, or a million years? Nobody knows.
Finally the boat reached the shore, Wang Jinchang breathed a sigh of relief and jumped off the boat. Immediately, there was a 'creaking' sound under his feet.
In the face of so many human bones, Tang Bagu also felt incredible. The number of these orphans is far from the remains of dozens of generations of the Tang family and the Wang family.
But who will these orphans belong to?
Wang Jin knew that Tang Bagu was the same as when he first came, and he didn't dare to move for a while. I will ponder for a long time, and in the end, there will be no answer.
He walked to the depths of the island in the middle of the lake. In his heart, these three words kept coming up: 'Breaking through the Gate of Heaven'.
The closer you get to the center of the island in the middle of the lake, the more bones there are. Occasionally, you can see some of the clothes worn by the dead, mostly dark blue. The long-term relationship has been shattered into strips of rags.
In the center of the island in the middle of the lake, in the pile of bones, a large pit was dug. There, it is where the head of the 'Snake King Gate' is placed. I saw a wooden stick with a thick bowl mouth standing in front of a pile of white bones.
On one side of the wooden stick, someone has flattened a piece, and a vertical line of words is engraved on it: The tomb of Wang Yun, the head of the fifteenth generation of the snake king.
Tang Bagu also walked over, and saw Wang Jin staring blankly at the wood and the pile of white bones on the ground, and felt that something was wrong.
This is the 'burial place' of my royal family, which is different from what you imagined! Wang Jin said coldly.
Tang Bagu looked around and asked Wang Jin: It was your newly dead Uncle Wang who brought you here before? There's a problem here. Without waiting for Wang Jin to be her, she continued: Your grandfather was buried? Or cremated?
Has your Uncle Wang ever explained to you? We did see your grandfather's tomb with a stone monument on Nanshan, and it must be a 'void mound', right?
Wang Jin nodded: Uncle Wang said that my grandfather is the head of the family and will be buried here after his death.
Hearing this, Wang Jin said this, Tang Bagu was more sure of his opinion: Then I will be embarrassed. If it's offended, you don't mind. What I want to say is, your grandfather is dead, since it is a burial, how long will it take to turn into such white bones?
Wang Jin was shocked: Yes, I never thought about it. It's all because the relationship with my grandfather is too close. Has Uncle Wang ever explained to himself? But where are the bones of my grandfather buried!
Is there anything else you haven't told me? Is there still something buried in the stomach all the time? If so, say so. Hey, it's annoying. If you don't say, what's the point of us here. Obviously, we haven't found the 'Tomb of the Snake King' at all.
For those who don't know why, what's the use of being here? The location of the 'Tomb of the Serpent King' must be in the message that your royal family has passed on to you. Tang Bagu kept urging Wang Jin.
What else, what else is hidden in the message? A recipe for practicing the nose and boiling pills. Suddenly, Wang Jin thought of it, so he blurted out: Break through the gate of heaven
What is 'breaking through the gate of heaven', without waiting for Tang Bagu to ask:
There is a heaven outside the sky, there is a sky outside the sky, and there are nine heavens outside the sky.
The four heavenly kings of the gate of heaven guard, and they need to worship the snake king Suo Lingdan.
After taking the elixir to hit the bronze mirror, the queen mother Yaochi shed a mortal fetus.
Even if you have thousands of treasures in the world, it is difficult to exchange immortal longevity and Tianqi.
Wang Jin thought hard about all this, but where could he find a clue, and finally couldn't help but roar: I just don't know. What does it mean to create a heavenly gate, and why are you playing tricks on me like this.
There is a heaven outside the sky, there is a sky outside the sky, and there are nine heavens outside the sky. Yes, I see. Hearing Tang Bagu's words, Wang Jin suddenly quieted down.
It's hard for you not to know, this is the Taoist word. The secret is hidden in the mantra of cultivation. 'Breaking through the Gate of Heaven' is a state that breaks through all obstacles and breaks away from the boundaries of the physical body. Since ancient Taoism, it has been believed that there are only two ways to get out of this body, and to cultivate and become enlightened, which is called becoming an immortal. If you fail to practice, it is called military liberation. Tang Bagu clearly saw a strange change on Wang Jin's face. hurriedly shouted to him: Don't, you must not think crookedly. I didn't ask you to kill yourself. You wake up. As he spoke, he stepped forward and slapped Wang Jin in the face.
Wang Jin came to his senses all of a sudden, looked at Tang Bagu stupidly, and came back to his senses for a long time: It's so hanging, I'm almost done! Wang Jin clearly saw that Tang Bagu's forehead was sweating.
Scared the hell out of me. You have to deny everything! Got it? Tang Bagu suddenly said inexplicably.
