Chapter 299: The Dragon is Born
Qin Xianghe glanced back at Zi Yang and said coldly, "Those people came here to steal treasures, of course Tianlong won't let them go!" β
Zi Yang's heart froze, and he suddenly remembered the scene of the villagers taming the flying dragon on the mural, this Qin Xiang and a dying old man can survive underground for so long, could it be that he has really mastered the method of manipulating gargoyles?
I can't help but shudder when I think of this section.
"Uncle, was this secret passage also left by the Tianji Dao people back then?" Lao Wang said breathlessly as he walked.
The cracks in this natural rock wall are damp and muddy, narrow and cramped inside, and the trend is intricate, and it is especially difficult for a person with a wide body like Lao Wang to walk, and he was almost stuck several times.
Qin Xianghe said sullenly, "The secret path was not left by the Heavenly Machine Dao Master, but was secretly carved out by the clansmen just in case.
At that time, the clansmen were not at ease with these outsiders, and in order to prevent the Heavenly Machine Dao Master from sealing everyone inside after the completion of the Immortal Palace, they found this rock crack in the hidden place of the cave. It took several years to carve out a secret passage. β
Everyone was shocked to see that the underground project would take a long time and could take years to complete. Without the assistance of modern construction machinery, the construction of such a magnificent palace under such a sinkhole with such a steep terrain is simply shocking and inconceivable.
Zi Yang suddenly remembered something and couldn't help but ask, "Why didn't I find the cemetery of the clansmen in Qinhan Village?" β
When he came to Qinhan Village last year, Ziyang noticed a strange place, Qinhan Village did not have any cemetery.
It stands to reason that these descendants of the Qin army have lived in Qinhan Village for generations, and the number of people who have been born, old, sick and died for more than 2,000 years must be very large. Don't these descendants of the Qin army have the habit of paying tribute to their ancestors?
At this time, the team marched into a spacious stone nest, Qin Xianghe sighed, sat down on a stone in a dejected manner, and said slowly:
"Our ancestors believed that our people were cursed people, and that even after death the spirits of the dead would not rest, and that we needed to continue to atone for our sins with our flesh. Therefore, Qinhan Village has always maintained a tradition that all the dead people were thrown into the sinkhole and sacrificed to the dragon.
After the completion of the Palace of Eternal Life, this custom was still followed, but it was tied to a heavy object and sunk to the bottom.
Although the Heavenly Opportunity Daoist saved us from the disaster of live animals, the clansmen still avoided the disaster of death sacrifice. β
Lao Wang was taken aback: "What does this mean, you are giving all the dead to the monsters in the water to eat?" No wonder these monsters look so evil! β
Qin Xianghe nodded heavily: "The custom of water burial in Qinhan Village has been followed for thousands of years, and there has been nothing abnormal, until the last few years, I realized that something was wrong!" β
"What's the situation?" Everyone looked solemn at him, and their emotions couldn't help but become nervous.
"Two years ago, an old man who died of illness was buried in the village water, and that night I saw the shadow of the dragon on the edge of the waterhole!" Qin Xianghe said in a panic, it seemed that the scene he saw that night shook him a lot.
Everyone knows that the "Celestial Dragon" that Qin Xianghe said in his mouth is a gargoyle, and it is also the "gray shadow" and "flying dragon" that Prasad and Sharma call they call "Gray Shadow".
Qin Xianghe continued to mutter, "These Heavenly Dragons have been sealed underwater for thousands of years, and for some reason, they now have the ability to shuttle through deep water!" β
Lao Wang said: "Since these heavenly dragons can surface freely, and that day the Dao Master is building a palace and diverting water to seal something, isn't all that he has done in vain?" β
Qin Xianghe stared at the ground with a sad expression, and said slowly: "I was shocked at that time, the dragon was born, could it be that something strange happened in the Immortal Palace below?" In order to find the reason, I had to break the taboo left by my ancestors for thousands of years and open the legendary secret passage. β
"After the Immortal Palace was built, didn't the secret passage be used?" Su Rui asked.
Qin Xianghe nodded: "The ancestors were worried that opening the secret passage would release the earthly qi of the Immortal Palace, so they were forbidden to enter for generations. Unless, unless the Immortal Palace's earth qi has been broken.
The tomb keepers have kept the secrets passed down from their ancestors for generations, including the location of the secret passage and the method of enslaving the dragons.
According to the information left by my ancestors, I found the location of the secret passage and entered the underground palace, and it took me several months to figure out the path inside. I found what our ancestors called the Palace of Eternal Lifeβand saw what you see today. β
"You just said that the ancestors left the method of enslaving the Heavenly Dragons, which means that you can control their actions, right?" Su Rui asked.
Qin Xianghe was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No, no." The ancestors only saw that the celestial dragons were very sensitive to sound, and some special tones could affect their actions. I've figured out some general tricks from this. If you can't control it, how can these beasts control it, no......"
Qin Xianghe muttered a few words, got up and continued to walk forward, and said as he walked: "After I found this place at that time, I found that there was a big hole in the top of the main hall, and the Immortal Palace inside was also destroyed.
Later, I pondered for a long time, and the Tianji Daoist said back then that as long as there was no invasion by outsiders, this Immortal Palace would not fall, and the future generations would enjoy peace forever.
Now that the qi situation of this Immortal Palace has been broken, it is likely that it is because the secret passage that the clansmen secretly dug back then has been leaking the earth's qi for a long time. Alas, the catastrophe! Doom! β
Qin Xianghe sighed heavily when he said this, "Later, I found a reason to get some explosives from the township, and wanted to blow up this secret passage and restore the pattern of the Tianji Dao people when they built the underground palace - I didn't expect ......"
"Unexpectedly, Chen Ruixi stole explosives and went to the mountain to blow up Tianchi, but as a result, he moved the leylines and had an accident. Then the above sent someone to investigate, and later Professor Zhang came here to find out the reason, and also discovered the secret of Qinhan Village. Later, he drove away the villagers, sent an exploration team, and went directly into the underground palace......"
Zi Yang said this in one breath, and now he has basically figured out the ins and outs of the whole thing.
Qin Xianghe didn't speak, it seemed that he acquiesced to Zi Yang's speculation.
Zi Yang then asked, "But I have a question, since the village chief knows that it is so dangerous under the sinkhole, why don't you come out to stop the exploration team?" β
Most of the members of that exploration team were scientists, and it is highly likely that they did not know the true purpose of Professor Zhang. Qin Xianghe should also know this.
Qin Xianghe didn't answer his words, but instead quickened his pace, his body flickering in the shadows of the cliff.
Lao Wang followed a few steps and stopped and said, "Oops, the old boy is gone!" β
The three of them stopped, and several forks of similar size appeared in front of them, not knowing which one was the direction in which Qin Xianghe disappeared.
"Village Chief! Old man! Where are you? Wait for us!! Lao Wang shouted at the top of his voice, and his shouts echoed from the cliff walls. After a long time, no one answered.
Lao Wang panicked, put his hands around his mouth to form a trumpet, and shouted loudly in his breath: "The village chief ......"
"No need to shout, he won't come out, we're in a trap!" Su Rui frowned and said, "He deliberately brought us here. β
Lao Wang opened his eyes and said in surprise: "How come! If the old man wanted to harm us, he would have let the gargoyle tear us up in the Palace of Eternal Life a long time ago, and would he still take off his pants and fart to do this? β
"I brought the heavenly dragon out because I was afraid that you would fight inside and destroy the things in the palace." There was an eerie voice in the distance, it was Qin Xianghe, who had disappeared mysteriously.
Everyone looked around, and there were cracks in the rock wall all around, and the sound echoed in it, and they couldn't hear where Qin Xianghe was at all.
"I did underestimate you." Qin Xiang's cold voice fluttered around, "I thought you would be like the people of the exploration team, and you were immediately bitten to death by the heavenly dragon and the earth dragon when you entered the underground palace, but I didn't expect you to be extraordinary, not only deciphering the secrets engraved on the murals by the ancestors, but also killing an earth dragon." If I hadn't brought you here, I don't know how far you would have gotten around. β
Hearing him say this, everyone instantly understood that the light on the stone wall was deliberately led by Qin Xianghe.
The old king scolded angrily: "Roll the calf, you old immortal, what a heavenly dragon and an earth dragon." It's just stinky reptiles and rotten bats, and you have the ability to call them over! Let's kill a few Lao Tzu! β
Qin Xianghe sneered: "You don't have to wait for the Heavenly Dragon and Earth Dragon to make a move, you will naturally starve to death here." I've been taking you around for so long, and you can't find your way out now, and it took me months to figure it out. β
"That's because you're too stupid! The three of us are so smart that we can find our way out in an hour, and you old boy hid it for me obediently, and I caught you pinching out your yolk! Lao Wang jumped to his feet and scolded angrily, Qin Xianghe snorted twice and stopped talking.
Zi Yang looked at Su Rui with a sad face, lowered his voice and said softly: "The gaps in this cave look similar, and we may not be able to find a way out in a few hours." Not to mention the countless dangers in the shadows. β
Su Rui also frowned and said, "I'm more worried about the explosives in his hand. Qin Xianghe said just now that he was ready to use explosives to blow up the secret passage and seal the entrance of the cave. β
Zi Yang and Lao Wang glanced at each other, and couldn't help but become anxious.
At this time, Qin Xianghe's voice sounded again, "A few little dolls, I, Qin Xianghe, have no grievances with you, and I have no choice but to let you die here at a young age." You can only blame yourself for breaking in. Anyone who enters the dungeon must die, and no one can get out alive! Only the dead can keep secrets. β
Lao Wang scolded: "Shut your broken mouth!" Won't your conscience hurt to kill us? Are youβAre you worthy of the dead Rielin? Do you get a good night's sleep? Lao Tzu won't let you go if you're a ghost! β
Qin Xianghe said slowly: "I won't go out, as soon as the explosives go off, I will be stuck here with you, and I don't want to live anymore." If you have any grudges or grudges, go to the Netherworld to settle accounts with me. β
Everyone looked at each other, it seemed that this Qin Xianghe had made up his mind to accompany them to the funeral and be the last tomb keeper in Qinhan Village.
"Lao Li, what should I do?" Lao Wang looked at Zi Yang and said in panic.
"I don't know what to do, alas, if Wang Juan is also here, her super induction can help us locate Qin Xianghe's location. Maybe we can stop him before he detonates the explosives. β
Zi Yang squatted on the ground and said dejectedly, he also knew that the hindsight was useless, but he couldn't think of any way to get out of this deep cave.
Only prayers and miracles happened.
At this moment, there was a sudden rumbling sound in the distance, and the whole cave seemed to be shaking as the rubble fell from the head. Lao Wang stood unsteadily and fell to the ground.
Everyone looked at each other, and Qin Xianghe finally detonated the explosives.
