Lock the dragon well
The bottle exploded in the monster's mouth, and the liquor spilled in all directions, most of it flowing down its throat. The monster screamed from the burning of the liquor, ready to reach its tentacles into its mouth and scratch. Seeing this, I secretly said that if the wrist-thick tentacles reached in and closed the mouth, we were afraid that we would never have the opportunity to ignite the liquor in his mouth again.
I regret that we unexpectedly dropped the chain at a critical moment, and this mistake may have caused us to lose our best fighter.
"Haha, Lao Su, are you kidding us?" Black Bull couldn't help but laugh.
Gao Moli also turned his head to look at me, with doubts in his expression.
Stimulated by the spirits, the monster angrily stood up and flicked its tentacles at us. At the same time, one of its tentacles had reached its mouth, and it was about to block the entire gaping mouth.
Suddenly, a swirling flame lit up in the air and flew straight into the monster's mouth. It turned out that the black bull saw that I had missed, so he quickly took out another lighter, lit it and threw it at the monster. Luckily, he has a habit of carrying multiple lighters, otherwise, everyone would have been dragged down by my mistakes this time.
Before the tentacles gagged its mouth, the flaming flame was thrown into the monster's mouth. When the flame meets the spirits, it burns with a breath. A raging fire spread through the monster's mouth, burning down its throat and toward its entrails. The monster's body itself was rich in oil, and now, with the help of spirits, it quickly burned into a huge fireball.
This half-worm, half-human monster that has lived for more than 2,000 years, turned into a flame with a heart-rending wail. It struggled in vain a few times, then fell to the ground with a thud, and was burned alive with convulsions.
Gao Moli looked at the scene in front of him, the hatred in his eyes gradually subsided, and was replaced by a deep calm, which hid indescribable sadness.
I wiped the sweat from my forehead, gave a thumbs up to the black bull, and said: "Yes, you are still the best Niu Ye, you can attack accurately at the critical moment and turn the tide, which burned the thousand-year-old zongzi into a fireball." ”
"You still have the face to say, next time you are so confused, just feed you to the old zongzi! Phew, hopefully there will never be a next time! The black bull said, took out half of the cigarette butt from his pocket, and wanted to touch the lighter to light it, only to find that the lighter on his body had run out.
The monster burned for more than ten minutes, turned into a large red ball, and stayed quietly on the floor of the tomb, flashing red, and could no longer burn a trace of flames.
The black bull went to the southeast corner to fiddle with the pottery and bronze tripods on the ground, and found that most of the pottery were cracked, and several small tripods were also weathered into a pile of scrap copper and rotten iron. This kind of thing is not as valuable as a porcelain vase in the late Qing Dynasty on the market.
The black bull said distressedly: "It's late, it's really late, if it were five or eight years earlier, these treasures might still be rescued by me and play their due value." ”
"If you were going to come five or eight years in advance, you would have been trapped here and turned into a dry corpse. Lao Su, what should we do next? How to get out? Gu Yixin raised this most direct and difficult question.
The ancient building in the mine has turned into a raging fire, and it is impossible to return the way it came. We just have to wait here, waiting for the next movement of the earth's crust to turn the robber hole or the artisan's escape tunnel back to the surface. But can we afford to wait that long?
Seeing that I was silent, the black bull came over and patted me on the shoulder and said: "Self-negativity is not the consistent style of our army, if you want me to say, let's go to the sarcophagus of this old zongzi to touch it first, even if we are trapped to death, we must hold a few decent treasures in our hands." Otherwise, when we arrive at the palace of Hades, Hades thinks we are poor, and he will definitely not want to look at us. ”
"Hades isn't as philistine as you! However, we really have nothing to do at the moment, so we might as well open the sarcophagus and see what is inside. With that, the black bull and I walked to the sarcophagus, followed Gao Moli's previous appearance, and pressed the stone button mechanism in the dark grid.
Gao Moli was obviously not interested in our proposal, and he sat against the wall, with a few faint teeth scratches on his shoulders and back, probably from the hand-to-hand fight with the monster.
The sarcophagus was opened again, and I, Hei Niu, and Gu Yixin surrounded it, shining a beam of light into the Wujin Dragon Crystal sarcophagus. A few bubbles bubbled out of the dark red slime inside the coffin from time to time, and countless tiny branches floated under the slime, and further down, it was invisible.
The black bull didn't like it either, so he covered his mouth and nose with a simple mask, climbed up to the sarcophagus, asked me to hold his legs, leaned out half of his body, and fished the mucus with a big black eagle.
"Damn, it looks like this poor zongzi doesn't have a funeral item to carry with him......" The black bull complained with his head down, and suddenly, there was a crisp sound from the sarcophagus, and the big black eagle seemed to have touched a metal substance.
"Hey! It's still big! The Black Bull said, turning back and proposing to scoop out the slime from the sarcophagus.
When we saw the contents of the coffin, we couldn't help but feel a burst of joy, and we all took the clay pots in the coffin to scoop the mucus in the sarcophagus.
The mucus stinks incomparably, and the process of scooping it out makes people sick to their stomachs several times, so I won't go into detail here.
When all the slime was scooped out, we found a circular bronze plate at the bottom of the sarcophagus. The bronze plate is carved with a two-headed python, the two heads of the snake facing each other, and the protruding snake letters are intertwined to form a handle that can be lifted. On the edge of one side of the bronze plate are carved three seal characters.
I shouted to Gao Moli to come over and identify it, and shouted twice in a row before he was willing to come. Gao Moli jumped onto the edge of the coffin, looked at the three words with a wolf's eyes, and said lightly: "Lock the dragon well." ”
"Lock the dragon well? What do you mean? How could these three words be engraved in the coffin? Black Bull asked puzzled.
Suolongjing is obviously a noun, just like the names of Pansi Cave and Black Wind Tower, and most of these naming words are engraved at the entrance.
"The three words lock the dragon well have nothing to do with this coffin, this round big copper plate should be a manhole cover!" After that, I beckoned the black bull to tie the handle composed of snake hyacinth with a mountaineering rope, and pulled the copper cover out of the black coffin.
Suddenly, a powerful air flow surged out of the coffin, and we hurriedly lay on the edge of the coffin and looked at the bottom of the coffin. I saw a pitch-black hole appear under the copper cover, which was more than a meter in diameter and straight down. Under the illumination of the light beam, the uneven walls of the cave can be faintly seen, and people can settle down everywhere.
Gu Yixin said excitedly: "This black hole seems to be connected to a very wide space. We might be able to get out of here! ”
Gao Moli sniffed the air flow that kept surging out, and then frowned.
