Chapter 90: Clearing
Father Thomas was so frightened by the black particles floating in mid-air that he was almost out of his body, and in the faint blue light of the phosphorescent tube, these black particles loomed, as if they wanted to slowly gather into a ball. Father Thomas knew that this was probably what the Bible calls ...... "devil's breath."
How can we deal with the "devil's breath"? What the Bible seems to say, with holy water? Holy Bread? Or with a cross? Oops, I can't remember for a while, Father Thomas secretly blames himself for being useless, frightened by Satan's apostles, and now that he is dead and has no face to see the Father, he must show some courage as a priest.
Father Thomas tried his best to calm himself down, thinking that this son of a bitch's "devil's breath" likes things that are warm, but now there are no props such as matches and candles on his body, how can he dispel these evil black fogs.
God forbid, these "devil's breaths" are not too much, Father Thomas suddenly thought - they seem to be afraid of holy water and other liquids, but they don't have a water bottle on their bodies, they don't know that the spit hose doesn't work, and if they pee, they are afraid that the urine is warm, and it is useless to turn seven or eight thoughts at once.
Facing the black fog that had condensed into a cloud, Father Thomas was anxious, and then he heard someone behind him snort softly, and turned his head to see that the "partridge whistle" had woken up, and hurriedly went to support him, pointing to the small black fog, so nervous that he couldn't speak.
"Partridge Whistle" fainted in pain just now, bleeding a lot, and his face was pale, thanks to his own blood in advance, the blood on his arm was gone, and he no longer bled profusely; If I had waited for the help of this fool, Father Thomas, I would have been dead for a long time now.
As soon as the "Partridge Whistle" was held by Father Thomas, his sanity recovered seven or eight points, and when he saw a small black ghost mist flying in front of the white jade arch, he was looking for the temperature of human blood to approach him, so he hurriedly took out another gun, turned on the nose of the machine, and aimed at the copper lock on the jade door is a shot.
Previously, Elder Lichen and the "Partridge Whistle" had already figured out that the copper lock on the jade door was a core lock, and once it was contacted by an external force, the internal mechanism would be released, and hidden weapons would be released from the openings on both sides of the jade door. This door-shaped mechanism is wide open, and it will not be a small hidden weapon, judging by the experience of "partridge whistle", it should be a large machine such as rolling stone quicksand. At present, the only way to gamble is to use external forces. If there is poisonous smoke emitted from the doorway, then everyone will die together; If it's quicksand like a stake, you can use them to block the ghost fog at the entrance of the cave. I finally escaped here, but I couldn't finally be killed in this tomb by this untouchable ghost fog.
The bullet hit the copper lock and touched the mechanism in the lock, only to hear the loud rumbling sound in the doors on both sides deafening, and countless quicksand poured out like a tide; There are obviously a lot of red particles in the sand, which is poisonous sand.
It was too late, but it was too fast, and a large amount of poisonous sand gushed out from the holes on both sides of the "Partridge Whistle" that shot the copper locks, and in less than a few seconds, the ghost fog was completely buried by the poisonous sand. The old eats the feet and the bananas, and the old ones are wandering, and they are playing with the old people. br>
"Partridge Whistle" and Father Thomas dragged Elder Dust to the outside of the tomb as desperately as they could, and they had no time to care about the situation behind them; I only heard the fierce pouring of quicksand, and the middle of the two doorways was full, and I could hear the rumbling sound endlessly.
Ran out of the tomb door and stood still in the shaft, which was the only time to catch his breath. The "Partridge Whistle" sprinkled Yunnan Baiyao on the broken arm, and most of the amputated arms were gone, so don't think about fighting again in the future. Thinking of this, I felt stuffy in my chest, and I wanted to vomit blood, so I hurriedly swallowed two more "Hongqi Miaoxin Pills" to slow down the speed of blood flow.
The most worrying thing about the "Partridge Whistle" is Elder Chen's injury, and he ran all the way to the foot of Helan Mountain for his own sake, if this affects the life of the old monk, the sin will be great. Together with Father Thomas, they lifted Elder Dust to his feet and examined his injuries.
Father Thomas held Elder Chen's back, who would have thought that he would help Elder Chen's back with his hand, and seeing that his hands were covered with blood, he exclaimed, "Ahhh......h It's blood...... The old monk was injured. ”
From the burial chamber to the shaft, the three of them ran all the way, and neither "Partridge Whistle" nor Father Thomas cared to see where Elder Chen's injuries were; Only then did I realize that when the Coral Treasure Tree broke, Elder Lichen fell to the ground, and a human bone hanging under his feet also fell apart, and one of the broken bones stabbed into Elder Chen's back; This punctured the liver, and the injury was extremely deep, and nine out of ten could not be saved.
"Partridge Whistle" poured all the Yunnan Baiyao on his body on the wound on Elder Chen's back, but it was all immediately washed away by blood. "Partridge Whistle" was helpless, sad in his heart, and couldn't stop crying. He took out the Beidi Xuanzhu in the treasure bag and put it in front of Elder Chen's nose, rubbed it with his fingers, and twisted out a little saltpeter powder, wanting to wake Elder Chen up and listen to his last words.
Elder Lichen's nasal cavity was choked by saltpeter, coughed twice, and woke up slowly, seeing that "Partridge Whistle" and Father Thomas were both looking at him with tears in their eyes, he knew that his life would be long, and as soon as he grasped the right hand of "Partridge Whistle", he said to "Partridge Whistle": "The old man is about to give up this stinky skin, and you don't have to be sad, just ...... There are just a few things you need to remember. ”
"Partridge Whistle" nodded with tears in his eyes, and listened to Elder Chen's continuation: "The old man has been washing his hands in the golden basin for many years, and he is no longer considered to be the captain of the Golden Touching School, and the Golden Touching Talisman on his body will also be handed over to you. It's a pity that you and I don't have enough fate, and this secret technique of gold and acupoint can't be passed on to you; If you have the opportunity, you can go to find one of Lao Qu's former colleagues, who has a nickname called Jin Abacus, who usually dresses up as a businessman, and only does inverted fighting and touching gold on both sides of the Yellow River; This person is the best at astrological feng shui mathematics, the kind of doorway of the heavenly stem and the earth, and in modern times, he can only be compared with the yin and yang feng shui dragon shaker master Zhang Sanlian in the late Qing Dynasty, but that Zhang Sanye has long been ancient; To this day, except for the old man, no one in the world can withdraw the gold abacus to the right, you take the old man's gold talisman to find the gold abacus, he will definitely be able to help you. In addition, this keel is engraved with the mark of phoenix gall, and it is hidden in the deepest part of the Xixia Treasure Cave, which may contain extremely important clues, and may provide some reference for finding the dust beads......"
"Partridge Whistle" thought to himself that his left hand was gone, and he was afraid that he would not want to fight backwards again in this life, even if he knew where the dust beads were, he might not be able to get them. Seeing that Elder Chen's breathing was getting weaker and weaker, he wanted to say a few words to him, but he choked and couldn't open his mouth, just bit his lip, and his whole body trembled.
Elder Lichen used his last strength and said, "You must remember that you must not casually open the killing ring again, and the fight will damage the Yin Virtue...... Men must be merciful...... Old ...... And so he went. After saying that, he couldn't breathe a sigh of relief and left for the west.
"Partridge Whistle" fell to his knees and kept kowtowing to Elder Chen's body, and Father Thomas persuaded him to pull him up. This shaft is not a place to stay for a long time, the two of them carried the body of Elder Chen and crawled back to the treasure hall of the Great Buddha Temple in Tongtian, and in front of the Buddha's treasure, the body of Elder Chen was incinerated, and then left in tears.
In the years since, "Partridge Whistle" has searched everywhere for the golden captain Jin Abacus, who haunts the banks of the Yellow River and in the mountains and mountains, in accordance with Elder Chen's will; However, after walking all over the place, there is no trace of this person. The heterogeneous dragon bones brought out from the treasure cave of Western Xia have also been read by many well-educated people, and no one can recognize what is written in them.
At that time, the world was in turmoil, and a huge war was brewing in the air, and "Partridge Whistle" was helped by American priest Thomas to emigrate his family and family to the distant United States of America. "Partridge Whistle" was discouraged and lived in seclusion in Tennessee, USA, ignoring the world.
The Zagrama people would have gradually weakened their bodies after the age of forty, and the iron in their blood would gradually decrease, and after more than ten years, the blood would gradually turn yellow and solidify before they would be tortured to death. Many people can't bear this pain and choose to commit suicide in the end. But the farther away this symptom is from the cave, the slower it becomes, and on the other side of the globe in the United States, the average time is delayed by twenty years.
After the subsequent war in China, it was not easy to find the "phoenix gall" Yun Chenzhu, and the population of the "Partridge Whistle" group withered, and there was really no one who could take on the big responsibility. The "Partridge Whistle" heart was also cold, thinking that in about a hundred years, these last few bloodlines would be broken, and this ancient tribe would be finished.
These things were later known to Shirley Yang's father, Yang Xuanwei. Yang Xuanwei not only loves archaeology, but also loves adventure, and in order to find a way to save his wife and daughter, he decided to take action. Since the ciphertext on the keel cannot be deciphered, it is very unlikely to find the dust beads. Yang Xuanwei studied the culture of the Western Regions when he was young, but the scope of his research was the Han and Tang dynasties, that is, the stage when the prosperity of the Western Regions reached its peak. There have been several civilizations in the Western Regions as early as 4,500 years ago, and the Zagrama Oasis is one of them, and the Xiaohe tomb group discovered later is also an ancient civilization with a history of 4,000 years. Therefore, Yang Xuanwei has limited knowledge of the events before the Elite Kingdom of Zagrama Mountain, and he estimates that there must be some important clues in the ghost cave of the Absolute Country, and Yang Xuanwei is the kind of person who believes that science controls everything.
At that time, just in time for China's reform and opening up, the second wave of desert scientific research boom arose, and Yang Xuanwei successfully formed a professional expedition team with this east wind. Unexpectedly, since entering the desert, he has never returned. Later, in order to find his father's whereabouts, Shirley Yang joined an archaeological team formed by Professor Chen, his assistants and students, and finally saw the bottomless ghost cave in the black desert, through the black Zagrama Valley, and in the depths of the underground palace of the exquisite ancient city.
