Chapter 399: The Golden Mirror
I remember that when I was in the tomb of the Dragon King in Erlongwan, the master put the Qinggang Sword and Fantian Seal in the trunk of the car, and took us to Erlongwan to check the situation, but he was not worried that they would be lost, and it was precisely because of this reason.
As I set Dorjee aside and began to tear down the wall, there were small footsteps in the darkness behind me, and I knew it was a corpse approaching us.
It took away the Fantian Seal in order to lure us away in order to protect the earthen wall on the river, and if we are not fooled, he will naturally not leave.
The earthen wall was so thick that three people started work at the same time, but it took a long time to completely dismantle it.
Because the walls were hard, we had to chisel the stones into the walls with a pickaxe, and then shovel the soil off the walls with sappers. In this way, the speed of demolition is a little faster.
When I smashed the stones on the wall with a pickaxe, Liu Shangang suddenly asked me: "Brother Dao, you say, why did that armor corpse take away the Fantian seal?" ”
I said, "It's actually trying to get us out of here." But there is one thing I have to correct you, Fantian Seal can't be taken away, it's something we keep upright, and no one can take it away. ”
Liu Shangang: "No, that's not what I meant. I mean, why didn't it take your backpack or the green steel sword, but took away the Fantian Seal? It's as if it knows that the Fentian Seal is especially important to you. ”
I smiled at Liu Shangang, and at this time, Liang Houzai picked up the conversation on the side: "Of course it knows that Fantian Seal is a very important thing, after all, it can appear here guarding the earthen wall, it is enough to show that it is the night demon's minions, and it is normal to know Fantian Seal." ”
Liu Shangang scratched his head: "What do you mean, why didn't I understand?" ”
Liang Houzai sighed and asked him, "You don't think that the disciples of the Great Holy Ancestor who have been waiting in the Little Tianshan Mountain for generations are Brother Dao, right?" ”
Liu Shangang: "Huh? Isn't it? Could it be Grandpa Chai? ”
"Of course not," Liang Houzai said, "They are not waiting for Brother Dao, but the Fantian seal in Brother Dao's hand." It's just that for two thousand years, Brother Dao is the only one who can urge Fantian Seal. Speaking of which, the first three thousand years of the night demon's reincarnation was just coming to an end, and the person who could urge the Fan Tian Seal also appeared. In the dark, it seems to have its own fixed number. ”
Liu Shangang asked again: "But you have been talking for a long time, isn't it Brother Dao who is waiting for Sendu?" ”
Liang Houzai rolled his eyes: "I'm too lazy to pay attention to you, this kind of thing doesn't make sense with a person like you who doesn't have a bright head." ”
Liu Shangang still seemed to be very unconvinced, and asked again: "But didn't you speculate before that the key to suppressing the night demon was the mural, why did you get involved in the heavenly seal now?" ”
Liang Houzai: "I said that the key to suppressing the night demon is the mural, but I said that Fantianyin is not the key to suppressing the night demon?" The mural is the key, and the Fantian seal is also the key, do you understand? ”
I saw that Liu Shangang was a little anxious, so I interrupted the two of them: "Hurry up and dig the wall, finish the night demon as soon as possible, and go out for a good meal." ”
As soon as they said "have a good meal", the two of them came to the spirit and worked quickly.
After being busy for a while, we saw that we had dug a big hole in the earthen wall, but the thick wall was still not dug through. At this time, we were all hungry, and since there were no fish in the river, we could only eat the dried fish that Liu Shangang had prepared in advance.
The taste of this dried fish is really not flattering, salty and fishy, probably because it is too grilled, and it has a slight bitter taste.
I was tired of eating grilled fish before, but I just felt like chewing wax, but when this thing is eaten in my mouth, it is like eating rubber, which not only tastes bad, but also is very difficult to bite.
But such dried fish has a benefit that grilled fish cannot match, precisely because it is tough enough, difficult to digest, and after eating in the stomach, it will not feel hungry for a long time.
After hastily filling our stomachs with dried hard fish, we got back to work.
Seeing that the earthen wall was about to be successfully demolished, Dorjee woke up, and although I couldn't accurately calculate the time, I roughly estimated that it should have slept for five to seven hours, and I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw that it had regained its vitality when it stood up.
After Dorjee got up, he first ran to our side and rubbed it, and then it seemed to sense something, and suddenly turned to the darkness behind us, bared its teeth and arched its back, and made an extremely vigilant appearance.
I patted Dorjee on the head: "Don't worry about it now." ”
Dorjee looked up at me with a hint of confusion in his eyes, and I smiled at it and continued to tear down the wall.
After a long time, the thick earthen wall was finally dug through, and through the hole in the wall, I saw a glimmer of light.
At this time, the armored corpse hiding behind us seemed to be a little uncontrollable, and I heard the sound of chaotic footsteps behind me, as if it was pacing anxiously.
Although I admit that it is difficult to entangle, it can't help us at all, and now we have a spirited Dorjee by our side, if the armor corpse rashly attacks us, Dorjee alone can deal with it.
I was sure of the victory, and I didn't feel the need to pay attention to it at all, and Liu Shangang showed some worry, and I told him not to think too much about it, and to concentrate on digging the wall.
The footsteps of the corpse became more and more agitated, but the three of us dug faster and faster, and the hole through the wall was enlarged by us little by little, until the diameter of this hole reached more than a meter, we stopped, packed up our things, and climbed in one after another.
When we entered the cave, Dorjee kept guard at the entrance of the cave, until Liang Houzheng entered the cave, and Dorjee also jumped into the hole.
This side of the wall leads to a wide tunnel, with occasional stalactites hanging upside down from the top of the tunnel.
Liang Houzai came up to me, pointed to a light coming from the side wall of the tunnel, and said, "There should be a hole there that leads to a tributary of the river vein." ”
I nodded, beckoned to Liu Shangang, and led the two of them towards the place where the light came from.
Liang Houzai is right, there is indeed a wide opening in the side wall of the tunnel, and the light shines through this hole.
On the ground near the entrance to the cave, there stood a metal cylinder waist-high and arm-thick, and a metal mirror embedded in the top of the pillar, on which the firelight folded a very blended golden sheen.
Liang Houzai touched the mirror, but was surprised to find that the mirror could be rotated, he tried to turn the mirror a few times, turned his head and said to me: "The metal that can maintain a thousand years of stainless steel in this environment seems to be only gold, right?" ”
Liu Shangang immediately answered: "Damn, how much is this thing worth!" ”
I reached out and slapped him lightly on the head, but he stuck out his tongue and didn't say anything more.
I took the torch from Liu Shangang and went into the cave.
In this hole, there appeared a tributary of the Dihe River that we had been looking for, and Liang Houzai said that this tributary may have been dug out by the Fanren back then, and the end of the river must have been connected to a spring, and the light shone in from there.
I nodded and moved on.
It didn't take long for us to reach the end of the river, and along the way, we could often see the golden mirror standing by the river.
At the end of the river is a circular cave, through which the clear water flows through the cave. The cave is about two meters wide and presents a very regular circle, which is artificially excavated at first glance.
We can be sure that the water enters the round hole and ends up flowing to the spring in the canyon, because it is from the depths of the cave that the light shines in.
Liang Houzai lay on the riverbed, glanced into the hole, and after a moment stood up and said, "It stands to reason that there should be no direct light coming in such a deep hole, and the light must first penetrate the water in the spring and then shine in...... It won't be so bright. There may be a special arrangement in this cave, Brother Dao, do you want to go in and have a look? ”
I waved my hand: "No, hurry up and draw the light out, maybe once the light goes out, a lot of things will be figured out." ”
Liu Shangang asked me very incomprehensibly, "What do you mean?" What can be figured out? ”
I said, "As soon as the light goes out, we'll know what to do with the Daredevil." ”
As I spoke, I carefully turned the golden mirror beside me, allowing the reflection to shine towards another mirror not far from here.
The surface of the mirror is very smooth and reflective, and after the beam hits the mirror not far away, it folds in the other direction.
Liang Houzai said: "Why do you like to use mirrors to attract light, when I was in the old Huang family in Northeast China, the light under the ground was also introduced by mirrors. In fact, now that I think about it, those mirrors that look like brass should also be made of pure gold. ”
I smiled and walked towards the mirror not far away.
Just as I had just taken two steps, I suddenly felt a slight tremor under my feet.
Dorjee also felt the shaking of the ground, and it immediately ran to me, staring at my feet, and I patted it on the head to signal it to be silent, and at the same time continued to take a stride, strolling.
The tremor coming from the ground was getting clearer, and I could feel something approaching the ground, and if I guessed correctly, it was the corpse in Area 4.
Liang Houzai and Yoo Sang-ang must have noticed the abnormality as well, but everyone was silent and waited quietly.
I came to the mirror and stretched out my hand to turn it, but suddenly there was an explosion behind me, and a burst of damp gravel crumbled on the hard riverbed, and the thin figure of the armor corpse finally appeared.
It leapt from the flying rubble at great speed and lunged at me, and although I couldn't see its movements, I could tell where it was from ten meters away.
At this time, the armor corpse is still holding my Fantian seal, I am too familiar with the Qi field on the Fantian seal, let alone ten meters, even from fifty meters away, I can clearly identify the Qi field.
However, the leakage of Fantian Yinqi shows that the armor corpse has untied the fire silk that wraps Fantianyin.
I dodged slightly, and the corpse flew over my shoulder.
When I looked back at the armor corpse, I realized that it was holding up the bare Fantian Seal, but the fire silk didn't know where it had gone.
As soon as it hit the ground, Dorjee pounced on it like lightning. Although it seemed to me that Dorjee was fast enough, the corpse avoided Dorjee with a backward jump, and then the corpse kicked the ground and flew towards me.
Only then did I realize that it was holding up the Fantian Seal, and it originally wanted to use the Fantian Seal to hit me.
