Chapter Twenty-Three: Bingjiao
It has long been true that Yu Tiangang would say this, what he said himself was to come here to find the elixir, and when he heard Ye Manqing say that there are supernatural people in it, it would be strange not to go in. Qin Tai also discussed with several foreign men behind him for a while, and also nodded and expressed his willingness to go in. The rest of the people either listened to me or followed Yu Tiangang, and no one raised any objections.
Since we are not in danger of the real slate, but we still don't dare to take it lightly, a few foreign men are in the front with guns, and only a few of them have the best guns among these people, so we can only wronged them. For this decision, Qin Tai also acquiesced. Wang Zongjun stood in the second row with pistols. In this way, it was advanced layer by layer, and seven stone gates were blown up in a row before this passage was opened.
There was really no danger behind the slate, and I couldn't help but look at Ye Manqing in surprise. This woman is not simple, maybe not as pure as it seems. For development on the mainland? And who introduced her to our team? This is no ordinary scientific expedition team. Among these people, Yu Tiangang was the least dangerous person, and all his motives were the illusory elixir. He didn't seem to care about anything else.
Looking at the dark passage in front of us, we still maintained our formation and walked forward slowly. Ye Manqing's words that there was no danger behind the stone slab had been confirmed, so everyone had to take her words seriously. She said there was still danger, so we had to line up and move slowly. For the safety of the people in front, we also used searchlights that had not been used for a long time. The light of the searchlight shone far away, and the whole passage was illuminated. An effective distance of one hundred meters directly and effectively guarantees the safety of all.
Seeing the exit from afar, everyone became more cautious. There is no danger in the passage. Then the danger should be outside the passage. I shook my head helplessly, and Ye Manqing didn't say when I would be in danger. If you go on like this, you're going to tire people out. The high level of mental tension and the strength of the heart's contractions, if there is danger, it is fine, but if there is no danger, as soon as these people relax, I am afraid that ordinary people will fall into a coma.
When they reached the exit of the passage, people couldn't help but slow down. If there is danger, it is at this moment. Everyone stood at the entrance of the passage, and no one was willing to go out first. I gently stepped forward and threw a glow stick out. After waiting for a few minutes to see that we were not changing, we walked out with peace of mind this time.
As soon as they came out, everyone was petrified. In front of it was a huge hall with a large tree in the hall. The big tree, which was not necessarily hugged by seven or eight people, stood luxuriantly in the center of the hall. I don't know how high it is, and we can't see the black roof of the cave at all. How did such a big tree grow in this dark cave? Are there any trees in the world that don't need photosynthesis? If botanists knew this information, they would go crazy.
The reason why people are petrified is not what people want. Nor was it shocked by the big tree. It's just that now we don't dare to move. Not only did they dare not move, but they couldn't. Everyone feels that their legs and feet are weak and they can't stand, so how can they still walk?
There was a large snake coiled under the tree. The white scales shimmer dazzlingly in the light of the searchlight. The body the size of a water tank coiled around the tree, and a head the size of a car faced the exit of the passage. The two turquoise eyes were like two big watermelons, staring at everyone roundly. There was a cold glint in his eyes. That green glow makes people shudder. I know this snake, and it was the scene I saw in the Forbidden City that day. There should be Liu Qiang on that big tree.
Suddenly, a great snake pounced on us, and a strong wind and wave pushed us to the mouth of the passage. He pushed several people to the ground. We crawled back into the tunnel. Seeing that the serpent did not chase after him, everyone stopped to rest. It wasn't until everyone calmed down that we slowly moved towards the entrance of the passage.
Sneaking to the entrance of the passage, he looked out gently, the big snake still remained in its original state, and his eyes were staring at the entrance of the passage. We confronted the serpent at the entrance of the passage, and no one dared to step out of the passage and enter the hall. We take turns guarding it, and the rest of us take the time to rest. Thinking about it, it has been nearly two days since I entered this mausoleum, and everyone basically hasn't closed their eyes. By the time we took turns to wake up, more than a dozen hours had passed. The serpent still maintained that position, and did not even move.
We gathered to discuss the state of the serpent. If it weren't for the vague sight of the serpent coming towards us just now, we would have treated it like a dead snake. However, in the current situation, it is impossible for the snake not to move. It was not right to think about it, and finally everyone decided to send someone over to test it.
And when they were sending whom, there was a great disagreement among the people. Now we are mainly divided into three factions, Qin Tai and the foreign Han under him, Yu Tiangang and several people from the scientific expedition team behind him, only my side has the least people, and they are all girls. Uh, Leng Feng is not a girl anymore. If I go out, I can only go out. But now I still have a relatively large use value, so Qin Tai and Yu Tiangang will designate candidates among each other. The argument lasted until the end, and the two sides reached an agreement that each team would send one person. Qin Tai casually designated a foreign man, and Yu Tiangang looked at the people behind him and asked Wang Wei to go with him.
Wang Wei is Lu Liang's classmate, friend, and best friend. But the moment he entered the mausoleum, he made his position clear, and he came to find Lu Liang. Among these people, it is also a school of its own. But when the hallucinations attacked, I took the three women with me, and he had to stay in Yu Tiangang's team. Now that such a thing is encountered, Yu Tiangang's people can't joke with the lives of his cronies. So this cannon fodder can only be replaced by Wang Wei. Although Wang Wei was a little unconvinced, he looked around and felt that he was lonely, so he reluctantly agreed.
We lay at the entrance of the passage and watched the two of them slowly move towards the big snake, and we were also nervous. It's anticipation and worry. It wasn't until they were already close to the serpent that we completely let go of our hearts. At the moment of relaxation, quite a few people were already sitting on the ground. Just looking at it, it's more tiring than fighting with someone, and now that I think about it, Wang Wei and the two of them should also be tired. Looking up, sure enough, two people were kneeling in front of the big snake and gasping.
The big snake was indeed dead, and we immediately put our hearts at ease and ran towards Wang Wei and them with cheers. During this period, there was not a surge of energy, and suddenly we were no longer afraid, and after a while, we all came to the front of the big snake. Wang Wei and the foreign man were covered with sweat, and gasped and said, "Grass, Lao Tzu...... Almost ...... Scared. Next time...... Next time...... Yourselves...... Come here. ”
We didn't have time to pay attention to Wang Wei's appearance, and we all approached the big snake curiously. I have never heard of such a big snake. Those anacondas in the Amazon rainforest, the forest anaconds are nothing compared to this big snake, uh. I can't even think of a metaphor. The thick body of the water tank seems to have many levels compared to the thick forest snake with the thickness of the water bucket.
Yu Tiangang touched the big snake with excitement on his face and said, "Sure enough, it's this thing." ”
Zhang Qiang's little girl couldn't help it first, and hurriedly asked, "What is this?" Isn't it a snake? ”
Yu Tiangang shook his head and said, "It's just an ice jiao." If you look closely, he has claws, though there are only two of them, and he is also a dragon. Legend has it that Bingjiao and the ancient goddess Nuwa are of the same race and are blood relatives. It's just that Nuwa has achieved positive results and cultivated into immortals. Yu Tiangang looked approvingly at the Bingjiao beside him, and said suspiciously: "Strange, strange, it is said that this Bingjiao should be able to ascend to the Dao, the ancient books record that Nuwa's body was only five zhang when she became enlightened, look at this Bingjiao, it is more than ten zhang." We all nodded, this ice Jiao is forty or fifty meters long, which is indeed more than ten zhang.
Yu Tiangang continued: "It is said that after Nuwa achieved positive results, this Bingjiao clan was very prosperous, and it was not until Nuwa made up for the sky that this Bingjiao clan also disappeared. I can't imagine that there is one here. ”
Qin Tai said: "I also know a lot about this ancient legend, but I have never heard of a white dragon." ”
Yu Tiangang glanced at him and said, "What do you know?" In China, white represents a lot of significance. You see, the fox fairy is a white fox, the snake fairy is a white snake, and the tiger is white. There is an old saying about this, it is called 'a hundred years black, a thousand years white', can you hear what he means from this sentence? ”
Qin Tai showed an incredulous look and said, "You mean, this big snake is more than a thousand years old?" ”
Yu Tiangang smiled: "More than a thousand years old is for sure. He looked at me and asked, "Professor Shui, you're more interested in these things, you must have heard of them, right?" I nodded and said, "Yes, I've heard of it, and it seems that it's like this kind of thing, and it can grow a foot in fifty years, right?" ”
Qin Tai looked at the big snake in front of him and said in surprise: "How can this snake be forty or fifty meters, in this way, this big snake is at least more than one thousand and three hundred years old, uh, age." ”
"Yes." Yu Tiangang received: "Legend has it that when the Yellow Emperor attained the Tao, he rode a dragon to the sky, and this kind of dragon was ridden. Zhang Qiang's little girl pursed her lips and said, "Didn't you say that this is the mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor, how did the Yellow Emperor become an immortal." Now that he has become an immortal, does he still need to build the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum? ”
Yu Tiangang said embarrassedly: "That's just a legend, a legend." (To be continued......)
