Chapter Twenty-Nine: Retribution
Ye Jiuqing said that the feather dragon pattern is the symbol of the Nine Dragons Boat of the Moon Palace, and it also hides the secret of the unbelievable dragon boat, and now it appears from the tomb wall, I feel that this dragon is like a totem, at least in Ji Qu's heart, this dragon totem represents a god.
The light in the tomb was gradually dimming, and I saw that the light emitted by the Hou Zhu in the hand of the palace lord was getting weaker and weaker, and the white marble patterns around the coffin and the feathered dragon totem on the tomb wall also faded.
Judging from the content recorded on the mural, if Suihou Zhu loses its light, it is no different from ordinary beads, as for why Gongjue will make it shine when he holds it in his hand, it is still unknown, but it is obvious that Gongjue cannot let Suihou Zhu continue to shine.
"It's all fate, it took so much effort, my life was almost lost here, and in the end I found a broken bead." Tian Ji sighed heavily, and smiled weakly. "I knew that I wouldn't have to use gold to smash the woman's corpse, I deserved that I wouldn't be able to make a fortune."
"You're stupid, what do you mean by broken beads." I pointed to Ji Qu in the coffin and said. "He's lived on this thing for over 700 years."
"Then you have to be bright, it's useless if it's not bright, who will believe it." Tian Ji was dismissive.
"The light of Suihou Zhu can make the night pearl under the white marble absorb the light, and then project a pattern, those eight patterns explain the origin and secret of Suihou Zhu, but what does the huge feathered dragon on the tomb wall mean?" The palace lord's face was grim, and he looked at Sui Hou Zhu, who was becoming more and more gloomy in his hand. "Gotta hurry, I don't think it will be long before this bead shines."
I hurriedly walked to the tomb wall, and suddenly saw that the liberation shoe prints we found before also extended in this direction, and finally disappeared in front of the tomb wall of the feather dragon totem, I was a little puzzled, Ji Qu's coffin was not opened, and Sui Hou Zhu never left Ji Qu's hand.
That is to say, people who have been here thirty years ago can't see the feather dragon totem on the tomb wall at all, but how did this person find here, I slowly stood on the shoe print, this person was just standing directly below the feather dragon totem, the light in the jade bi is getting weaker and weaker, I asked the palace lord to take the Hou bead closer, I carefully checked on the tomb wall inlaid with white marble, and suddenly found the lines of the palm in a place, presumably the person was looking for something here.
Gong Jue opened the five fingers of his left hand and gently covered the tomb wall, and then used the index finger of his right hand to tap the nails of the five fingers of his left hand one by one, the action was a bit like percussion in Chinese medicine, Gong Jue's hands were soft and sensitive, he used this method to strike, so that it vibrated and produced sound, according to the vibration and the tone of the sound, he could perceive the density and spacing behind the tomb wall and any subtle changes.
I heard Ye Jiuqing say that this is Gong Yu's unique skill, and she can be called a thousand machine craftsmen, all thanks to her hands that are not in vain, but it can be seen that Gong Jue is already blue.
He slowly moved his hands, calmly and concentratingly, and when the palm stayed between the foreheads of the feather dragon pattern, the palace lord suddenly stopped, and pressed down hard, the tomb wall under his hand turned out to be active, this is a hidden mechanism, the white marble on the tomb wall is divided into two, revealing a palm-sized dark grid.
There is a handle-like thing inside, and there is nothing else, but the palace lord said that the space of this dark grid seems to be incongruous, and there should be something missing, he took the Hou Zhu and carefully investigated, and sure enough, he found that the dust in the dark grid was distributed in different thicknesses, and a rectangular trace could be vaguely seen in the middle, and we also saw a handprint left on the dust in the dark grid, which was exactly the same as the handprint we found on the tomb wall before.
Obviously, there was a rectangular thing in this dark grid, but it was taken away by people who came here thirty years ago, and the biggest secret in this ancient tomb should be Sui Hou Zhu and the incredible Nine Dragons Boat of the Moon Palace, what else Ji Qu hid in that rectangular thing, we don't know now, but the hiding is so secret, presumably this thing is not trivial.
What surprised me even more was that we made Suihou Zhu shine again by accident, so that we could see the feather dragon totem and discover this dark grid, but the person who came here thirty years ago did not open the coffin at all and did not get Suihou Zhu, but this person accurately found and took away the things in the dark grid.
It can be seen that this person's ability to explore the tomb and his mastery of the mechanism are surprising, and the three of us together may not be able to match it, the only clue is that this person is a cripple.
The palace lord pulled down the handle in the dark compartment, and a low roar came from the tomb wall, and we took a step back to see a secret door open where the dragon's mouth with the feathered dragon pattern opened.
Sui Hou Zhu's light illuminated the secret door, which was a passage leading to nowhere.
"This is not over, since this is the main burial chamber, how can there be a passage?" Tian Ji had palpitations, looked at the dark passage and said.
"Ji Qu is convinced that he will definitely be able to come back to life, if you were him, what would you do after you were resurrected?" I watched the passage slowly curl the corners of my mouth and asked the field chicken.
"It's not nonsense, of course it's to leave this ......," Tian Ji didn't react until he was halfway through speaking, and his eyes lit up and he said happily. Could it be that this is the back road that Ji Qu left for himself? ”
I nodded, of course Ji Qu knew very well what kind of monsters were in this tomb, it was impossible for him to return to the tomb above, and leave through the tomb gate and through the tomb road, from the beginning of the construction of this place, he must have left a way out for himself first.
But one thing I am sure of is that this passage is probably the safest place in the tomb, and at the entrance of the passage there is a stone platform on which is placed a gold object with the height of a small arm, which shines with a dazzling golden light in the light of the Hou Zhu.
When we got closer, we saw that the gold was a pure gold with a sword in its mouth and angry eyes.
Jairus is rumored to be the ninth son of the dragon, because he can overcome evil, and he puts Jairus in the tomb to suppress evil in feng shui.
This pure gold eyelid shape is majestic, exquisite craftsmanship can be called a treasure, not to mention the utensils thousands of years ago, that is, it was melted and sold as gold, not to mention ten catties, and the eyes of the field chicken were squinted into slits with golden light.
"It's still God's way to reward hard work, this is fate, it's not in vain, Hou Zhu said that gold is expensive, and you can't eat it when you take it out, or this gold is sincere, no matter what the years and months, it's easy to use." Tian Ji happily picked up Jin Jianwei from the stone platform.
As soon as Jin Jianyu left, the stone platform suddenly sank into the ground slowly, I wanted to stop Tian Ji, but it was too late, Gong Jue and I glanced at each other, he should also sense that something was wrong.
"What do you mean by that expression?" Tian Ji asked a little blankly.
"If you are Ji Qu, if you really come back from the dead, although you can leave from this passage, but there are so many secrets buried in this ancient tomb, what will you do?" I looked at Tian Ji and asked weakly.
"Needless to say, of course it destroyed this ancient tomb." Tian Ji didn't even want to blurt it out.
"You're right, and you've done it now......" Gong Jue patted Tian Ji on the shoulder and sighed.
Jairus can be calmed, but there is another word about Jairus.
Surely you will repay!
It means that even the smallest grudges have to be revenged.
I guess in Ji Qu's heart, there should never be anyone other than him in this passage, if there are other people entering this passage, it only means that this ancient tomb has been invaded, so Ji Qu placed this golden eye in the passage, and the person who enters will inevitably see the wealth and pick it up.
The easiest way for Ji Qu to get revenge on the trespassers who had trespassed and brought him back to life was to destroy this ancient tomb and the passage we had discovered.
"This cowardice is too inauthentic, take one thing from him, and want to keep my life here." Tian Ji was taken aback and cursed, and dragged me and the palace lord to run into the passage. "Don't say it sooner, hurry up and run, I don't want to be buried here yet."
"Sooner or later? You won't take it when I say it? I asked angrily as I ran.
"Hehe, I must take it, more than ten catties of gold goods, I am blind to stay here, I thought about it before I came in, and I didn't plan to go out empty-handed." Tian Ji actually laughed out loud, and hugged Jin Jianxi in his arms tightly, for fear of losing it.
The ancient tomb and the passage behind him began to shake violently, and I could already hear the sound of the tomb collapsing, this ancient tomb was built from top to bottom, once the main tomb collapsed, the entire ancient tomb would collapse and be buried in the rubble.
The entrance of the passage has collapsed, the earth is shaking and the mountains are shaking, there are loose earth and stones falling above our heads, the Suihou Zhu in the hand of the palace lord is about to lose its light, the end of the passage is blocked by a stone, the palace lord found a groove below, the three of us work together to push away the stone, a ray of moonlight and fresh air penetrate.
