Chapter 240: The Great Bright Sun and Moon Banner
The mountains under the sea are larger than I expected, and the steps continue to extend into the depths of the mountain, but fortunately, the fire trough can light the way forward, and on both sides of the steps still stand the Qin figurines that have guarded this place for thousands of years.
But the more I went, the more mutilated and broken the Qin figurines became, and I walked in front of a Qin figurine, and found that the body was covered with marks of different shades, and Tian Ji touched it with his hand for a moment and said, "These are all cut by knives." ”
Xie Tianhui's man ran back from the front and said that there were a large number of bones, and we walked over quickly, and sure enough, on the steps we saw corpses lying on the ground everywhere, but judging from the costumes, they were not the people who built this place.
"This is the knife of the Dongying people." Xie Tianhui kicked a knife with his foot in front. "There were many wars on the southeast coast, and the Ming Dynasty continued to fight against the Japanese, and the Dongying people left a lot of such knives."
Akai Yoshitaka glared at Xie Tianhui above, his eyes were extremely cold, and he respectfully picked up the knife from the ground with both hands, that day at the head of the Black Mountain, when Akai Yoshitaka planned to kill us, his subordinates also used such knives.
It seems that our inference is not wrong, Akai Nobunari feints to attack Jinxi, the purpose is to lure away the Jinyi guards stationed in the old dragon's head, and then raid the old dragon's head, and successfully infiltrate here.
Along the way, we didn't find any traces of fighting, only here did we see the remains of the Dongying people, the palace lord found a completely different style of knife on the ground, but we are all very familiar, in the pursuit of the Vientiane Shrine, we have seen such a weapon, that is the embroidered spring knife dedicated to the Jinyi Guard.
In addition to the corpses of the Dongying people on the steps, there are also brocade guards wearing flying fish suits, and the broken traces on the Qin figurines are all cut by these two different weapons.
Looking at these corpses, it is not difficult to imagine that there was a fierce battle here, it is estimated that after Akai Nobunari successfully transferred the tiger out of the mountain, he sneaked into the Jieshi Palace, and after the Jinyi Wei defeated the feint of the Japanese Kou, he should also be aware of the plan, so he immediately turned back to the old dragon head and pursued all the way into the Jieshi Palace.
In the end, he encountered the remnants of the Japanese led by Akai Nobunari here, judging from these corpses and knife marks, the Jinyi Guard, who was chasing here at that time, was really sniping at all costs, as if he wanted to prevent Akai Nobunari and others from entering the Jieshi Palace regardless of life and death.
"Akai Nobunari's whereabouts are unknown during the last battle, and along with Akai Nobunari's disappearance, there is also the mysterious brocade guard wearing a mask, it seems that these people are all fighting each other here, and in the end, no one can leave." Gong Jue looked at the embroidered spring knife in his hand and said.
Ling Zhihan pulled the corner of my clothes beside her, she raised her hand and pointed to the top of the steps, a dry bone that had dried up was actually standing, the person in the firelight was wearing a flying fish suit, it should be a brocade guard, and we only saw the cloak on this dry bone when we got closer.
Pitch black cape......
I am reminded of Feng Gong's description of the respect for this cloak.
The cloak on Jin Yiwei's body was originally red, so the splash of blood could be ignored, and layers of blood were covered on it.
Dry, splash, dry again......
Over time, the original bright red cloak was infected by layers of blood and turned into a terrifying darkness for the enemy.
What shocked us even more was that the dry bones were full of clearly visible knife wounds, but even if they died, they would not fall, holding a flag in their hands, which was the sun and moon flag of the Ming Dynasty, and holding a low-hanging embroidered spring knife in the other hand, the blade had been cracked, and the blood stains on it had now turned black.
There are more than a dozen corpses of the Japanese lying under the dry bones, and several Dongying knives are still penetrating his dry bones, and this person is also guarding this flag until his death, using his body to ensure that the Sun and Moon Banner stands.
Looking at the unknown corpse in front of us, we are all moved and in awe, we can imagine the tragedy and bloodshed here back then, but this kind of respect I don't think Akai Yoshitaka will have, his eyes are always on the corpses of the widows on the steps.
The clothes on the corpses were not completely decomposed, and one of the corpses had a pattern on its clothing, which Akai Yoshitaka said was the military emblem of Akai Nobunari, and only the guards were qualified to wear such a pattern, and the corpse must have been a close confidant of Akai in front of him.
Akai Yoshitaka respectfully stretched out his hand to clean up the bones, but these intertwined bones would fall apart if they moved a little, and in his eyes there was no dry bone guarding the Great Ming Sun and Moon Banner at all, Akai Yoshitaka moved slightly, and the Dongying knife inserted into the dry bone body of Jinyi Wei was pulled out.
The dry bones were crumbling, and the Daming Banner in his hand also began to shake, Akai Jialong's action made Tian Ji indignant, and before he could speak, I saw that Tianhui suddenly stretched out his hand and grasped the Dongying knife.
With Akai Yoshitaka's drag, the still sharp blade easily cut Xie Tianhui's hand, and blood suddenly flowed out of his fingers, but Xie Tianhui didn't mean to let go at all, and even held it tighter, so that even Akai Jialong couldn't pull it.
I looked up at Xie Tianhui in astonishment, and that look appeared again, sharp as a goshawk, fierce and brave, even Akai Yoshitaka was at a loss for a while, Xie Tianhui stared coldly at his face, and slowly pulled out the Dongying knife from the dry bones with his hand, and threw it aside.
The dry bones were also scattered on the steps, and the Daming Banner in his hand was about to fall, Xie Tianhui grasped it steadily, and inserted the banner made of fine iron into the stone with a heavy blow, and the violent shock made the broken Daming Sun and Moon Banner re-displayed, at that moment, I no longer believed that the ruffian in front of me was as timid as he said, and suddenly there was a little more respect.
Akai Yoshitaka avoided Xie Tianhui's angry and arrogant gaze, and turned around to pick up the Dongying knife that was thrown aside, Xie Tianhui's sharp gaze fell on the dry bones on the ground, covering the pitch-black cloak on it, and the blood dripping from his palm was soaked in the cloak, which was even darker and deeper......
"Although we are not on the right path, you have done a good job and are a man." Tian Ji had clear grievances, and he couldn't help but applaud Xie Tianhui.
"I want to have a good fortune, it's not easy to make a fortune under the sea in the dark." When Xie Tianhui raised his head, the look disappeared again, and what I saw in front of me was the unruly ruffian, and he was also a timid and greedy ruffian. "It's unlucky to break the flag, I still want to get out alive."
After Xie Tianhui finished speaking, he stood up arrogantly and walked forward, Tian Ji was choked and blushed, I looked at Xie Tianhui's back, and he was a person I couldn't see through.
The people in front of them all stopped at the end of the steps, which was a much larger and more empty stone cave, obviously carefully arranged here, with a white light flickering at the top, and on closer inspection, it turned out to be a splicing of crystals.
The firelight was reflected on the crystal, and all of us looked at each other dumbfounded, it turned out to be a huge ink dragon with teeth and claws, shining with white light all over its body in the light, with sharp edges and huge sizes, and if you look closely, it is actually made of crystal.
It's just that this crystal ink dragon is too large, and the shape has other intentions, the steps that disappeared under our feet before now appear on the dragon's body, and have not been submerged into the crystal dragon's open mouth, it is obvious that this spacious stone cave is not our final destination.
The dragon is alive and looks at us like a spirit, as if it is quietly guarding this place, no one can infringe on it, the fire shines on the body of the crystal dragon, the whole body shines lifelike, and the craftsmanship makes us involuntarily amazed.
The firelight illuminated everything in the stone cave, except for the crystal top on the top and the crystal dragon on the opposite side, there was nothing else in the stone cave, Tian Ji just wanted to go forward, and was pulled back by the palace lord.
Tian Ji disagreed and said that there is no danger here, why be afraid, I shook my head at Tian Ji, the caution of the palace lord is necessary, and this place appears on the road leading to the back.
Emperor Qin built the Jieshi Palace to hide something, and from the inscription, no matter what is hidden, it is an extremely dangerous thing, Emperor Qin absolutely has no leisure and elegance, deliberately decorating a stone cave, the existence of this crystal top and crystal dragon will definitely not be just because it is good-looking, and I still haven't figured out why I chose crystal.
In fact, we haven't encountered any real danger until now, and all the ruins we've found before have been met with terrifying traps and traps, as well as creepy monsters, which I still remember vividly.
Gong Jue picked up the stones scattered on the ground and made everyone else retreat, he threw the stones on the way to the crystal dragon, and there was a crisp and loud sound of stones hitting in the quiet stone cave, and every time he threw one, he stopped to see if there was any change, and when the stones in his hand were finished, he heard no other movement except for the echo that came.
Tian Ji smiled and said that Gong Jue and I are worried too much, this place is spacious and unobstructed, if there is really a trap to hide, it is not difficult, maybe there is no mechanism at all.
Of course, I want to have a safe and unimpeded journey, but after so many things, it is hard for me to believe that the Jieshi Golden Palace, which has not been discovered for thousands of years, can be so peaceful.
I still didn't give up, and threw a few more stones out, but there was still no response, Xie Tianhui was a little impatient, probably seeing that there was no movement, he nodded to his people, and motioned to go to the two of them to explore the way.
Although the two of them looked flustered, they didn't dare to hesitate because Xie Tianhui was behind them, and they walked a few steps forward, and there was no movement, I just wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, and suddenly heard a low pulling sound from the stone walls on both sides, this voice was too familiar, and I was suddenly startled in my heart, it was the sound of the mechanism being triggered and linked.
Before we could react, sharp iron spikes pierced from the stone wall, each as thick as an arm, the tip of the thorn was sharpened and sharpened, and we could even see the cold light refracted by the firelight on it, these iron spikes penetrated from both sides of the stone wall at the same time, intertwined with each other, covering the entire stone cave, except where we stood, there was no dead end.
The two people in the middle didn't even have a chance to turn around and escape, their bodies were pierced by iron thorns in an instant, and they were killed on the spot before they even had time to shout.
