Chapter 69: Fighting Snakes
We cautiously touched the walls on both sides of the cave.
The cave was unexpectedly deep and large, and I held a flashlight to illuminate the road ahead, and Gao Qiuwu walked forward without saying a word. We walked hand in hand, and occasionally a few creatures living in the cave ran out after the light and took care of it for us, and there were thrills along the way.
As the road gets narrower and narrower, it seems to be coming to an end soon.
We followed the straight, but stopped at the end, looked at each other, and smiled wryly.
It's really coming to an end.
The so-called end is the end where there is no road ahead, that is, what stands in front of us is a thick wall, not the "way out" that we expect.
"Could it be that we really think too much, and there is no way out here at all?"
I said, tapping my right hand on the stone wall as I spoke. The rubble on the stone wall hurt my hands, and at the same time it made a heavy sound, proving that it was just a thick natural stone wall, and nothing else.
"Really?" Still unbelievably touching the stone wall, Gao Qiuwu groped carefully to see if there were any traces of inlay on the stone wall that guided us all the way.
I also groped and explored, the stone wall was not smooth at all, it was a feeling of thorns to the touch, and the protruding and concave stones were unevenly distributed on the stone wall, and when I touched it, it was uneven, but there was no regularity. However, I still trust my instincts, and my instincts tell me that there must be no end here, and that there must be a way out.
Nodding affirmatively, I recalled the road I had traveled all the way, and I couldn't find any traces of going in the wrong direction, unless the ancients left clues to confuse themselves, otherwise, I had been following the clues provided by the ancients, and there must be nothing wrong, so I chose not to believe Gao Qiuwu's statement.
Shi Lingren pondered: "Let's look slowly, we can definitely find it, the road, not in front, it must be behind us, not below it must be up...... Face. "A spirit, we hurriedly looked up in unison.
Yes, if it is a cave, there must still be a cave roof, and often, the cave top is the most extreme exit.
The light was not very large, but it appeared faintly above, and if it weren't for the fact that the exit might be on it, it would have been impossible to imagine its existence at all.
Looking at the little light above our heads, our hearts were suddenly full of hope again, and we neatly prepared the climbing tools and immediately climbed up the protruding stones.
Shi Ling and I climbed in front, followed by Gao Qiuwu.
Where Shi Ling took me to climb over, he motioned for Gao Qiuwu to follow his footsteps and climb up step by step.
The stone wall became more and more wet, and the climb became more and more difficult as the slope of the stone wall decreased, I gritted my teeth, and used my hand to climb a slightly protruding stone to prop myself up, and the stone Ling man pulled me, and then stretched out my other hand to cling to another protruding stone.
The feeling in my hands has begun to feel numb, there is only a wet feeling, I don't know if it is because of the dampness of the stone wall or because the hand has been injured, and the feeling of powerlessness in the process of constantly climbing in my mind is not all supported by one breath, we would have fallen to the ground in the morning.
Seeing that the light above his head was gradually approaching, Shi Ling moved towards the entrance of the cave. I took a deep breath, and then climbed up with all my might, and finally came to the top of the cave, I pulled the edge of the hole with one hand, and then put the other hand on it, and the last one was propped up, and the whole person climbed to the outside of the hole, and Gao Qiuwu also learned my movements, standing on the ground at the entrance of the cave, I watched Gao Qiuwu climb out, and was about to reach out to pull Gao Qiuwu, but I saw Gao Qiuwu slippery foot, palm slid over the stone wall, and the body fell down rapidly.
Yes! I didn't have time to shout, I immediately crawled on the ground and stretched out my hand to hold Gao Qiuwu.
Gao Qiuwu stopped the momentum of falling and swung in mid-air, looking down at the empty black.
"Come, take your time, reach out and hold the nearest stone wall." Gritting his teeth, Shi Ling held his body to pull Gao Qiuwu and me tight, and then motioned for Gao Qiuwu to climb the stone wall beside him.
I stretched out my hand in the direction of the stone wall, looking for a suitable stone to borrow strength when I touched the stone wall, so that I could stabilize my body, and then moved my body towards the stone wall, because of a mistake just now, this time Gao Qiuwu seemed more cautious to climb up step by step, I watched Gao Qiuwu's movements at the entrance of the cave, and made every preparation. When Gao Qiuwu's hand was already tightly gripping the stone wall, he raised his head and nodded to me so that I could withdraw my hand.
Gao Qiuwu finally crawled out of the hole, and all my tension immediately relaxed, and my whole body was filled with a feeling of paralysis, and I experienced life and death, and now I only feel a burst of relaxation.
Shi Ling walked up to me, touched my hair, and looked at him with a gentle smile.
It turns out that when you have someone who values you, you will feel very vulnerable and afraid.
Now that I see everyone lying by my side intact, I really feel a sense of happiness that I have regained.
"It was already night." Looking at the bright moon in the sky, the faint yellow light walking around, is a hazy feeling.
"Well, it's already night." Unconsciously repeating my words, Shi Lingren lay on the ground and looked at me, and his heart calmed down.
"Good thing you're okay.
"Hmm!" Just in response, Shi Lingren turned around and hugged me hard, and only let go after a while. Gao Qiuwu walked away slowly.
ββCome to "Pretend to be a Ghost" with the heroine to discover the truth of the world, you can collect votes, share WeChat to earn pointsββ
It is surrounded by the appearance of a wetland park, and at night there are blurred shadows everywhere, and occasionally a gust of wind blows and rustles the vines.
"Look." Suddenly, Shi Ling pointed to the distance and said.
"What?" I saw a vague shadow in the depths of the wetland, the outline of a building, but it was hidden in the darkness and could not be seen clearly. We all said in unison, "That's?"
If I hadn't miscalculated, I thought, that's the ancient ruins we're looking for. It is also the secret of the Yue family's wealth.
Following a straight path, using the Swiss Army knife we carry with us, we cut off the surrounding plants and algae under our feet, and we walked all the way in the direction of the ancient ruins.
The moonlight was sprinkled all over the ground, forming a patch of light, faintly shining around.
There are a lot of lithophytes in this wetland, the shadow of the vine is hideous and stretches outward, and the thick branches and leaves are like a powerful monster standing in front of it.
We walked forward fearlessly, looking up only to feel that we were close to the ancient ruins.
Overcoming thorns and thorns, they finally came to the entrance of the ancient ruins.
This ancient ruins are not good-looking, it seems to be made of many giant stones, but it is not coincidental, the stone is about two meters Γ three meters in volume, just looking at it already feels very heavy, the stones are stacked very high, the whole ancient ruins look like there are more than ten meters high, it looks very grand.
Probably because of the dense vegetation here, the ancient ruins are very well maintained, and even the patterns embedded in the ancient ruins are clearly preserved, especially the hideous patterns carved on the stone door, which seem to be carved just now, but unfortunately I don't recognize it.
Gao Qiuwu walked past me, put his hands on the stone door, and pushed the stone door open with one force.
A dusty smell immediately hit the face, and the faint smell of dust buried the ancient breath.
Shi Ling cast the light of the flashlight into the ancient ruins, only to see the dust dancing in the air one by one, blinding his vision.
Taking Shi Lingren's hand, we walked inside together.
The layout of the ancient ruins is very simple, after entering the hall door, there are four pillars standing in the four directions of the ancient ruins, east, south, west and north. It looks heavy, but in fact, the pattern is not big...... It's like a movie ...... Danfang!
The four corner pillars of the Danfang are engraved with the pattern of dragons and tigers circling auspicious clouds, surrounding the pillars all the way to the top. Some ancient utensils placed in the four corners, similar to the lampstand of the Changxin Palace lamp, actually have solidified grease, Shi Ling tentatively lit it with a lighter, and the blue flame rose and turned pink.
As soon as the lights were turned on, the Dan room was immediately illuminated, and we saw clearly at this time, on the walls of the Dan room, there were many murals painted, because the flashlight was too dim just now, and the age was old, the color on the murals became very light, so we had not found it before.
At this moment, the Dan room lit up, and they were discovered.
I took a look and noticed that there were countless murals on the walls, one after the other. However, all four paintings are repeated, expressing the same content. The first picture depicts the pattern of ancient people farming in the mountain field, and the second picture, there is still that mountain field, but suddenly an auspicious cloud flies over the sky, and the immortal on the auspicious cloud is dragging a Dan furnace in his hand, and a big monster is engraved on it, which descends from the sky, and the third picture paints the people on the ground when they see the immortal descending, and immediately prostrate on the ground, looking at the immortal respectfully and reverently, and the longing eyes are revealed from each pair of eyes. In the last painting, there are no Yamada, no people, and no parallel lines, but a painting of skull skulls, one by one with a big mouth, very vicious monsters, the body around the lower part of the skull, countless shadows from the skeleton's mouth drilled in, from the skeleton's eye socket, looking very weird.
The first three of these four murals are very simple, but I don't understand the specific meaning of the fourth one in the back. I felt strange, so I asked Shi Lingren: "Shiling people, these first, second and third paintings are the same person at the beginning...... It is assumed that Zhang Daoling used Fu Shui to save people and walked to Longtan Village. These are all very intuitive, but why does the fourth painting use expressions such as skeletons and snakes to convey the content? What exactly does it embody? β
Shi Ling listened to my words and did not answer immediately, but stopped and pondered. Gao Qiuwu walked up to me and pointed to the fourth mural, and said with a scholarly look: "In my opinion, this fourth painting depicts a skull, which represents death, and the monster on the skull indicates that he was bitten to death by a monster." Hehe, can't you see it so simple? Shuiyue, don't tell me that the more you live, the more you go back. β
"Gao Qiuwu, you are only half right, this skull does represent death. However, this monster does not mean that the person was bitten to death by the monster. Shi Lingren pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "This mural obviously introduces the danger in the Dan Room, but if it is said that the danger comes from monsters, it is obviously unreasonable. Because the monsters used by the ancients for alchemy are living creatures, and their lives are limited, and those ghost things that have nothing to do cannot be used as organs that harm people's lives and put them in the Dan room. Unless it's ......"
"Then you say, why do people draw a monster when they have nothing to do?" Gao Qiuwu was a little unconvinced and asked.
"Or the monster is raised here like those blind fish, and the children and grandchildren multiply, which may also be some kind of worship, they compare the monster to the god of death who harvests life, so where there is death, there must be a monster. That's not the point, it's what exactly these paintings suggest to us. Shi Ling said.
Gao Qiuwu shrugged, frowned, looked at the mural and said, "Somehow, I always feel that these paintings look very incongruous. β
Shi Lingren listened to Gao Qiuwu's words and moved back two steps slightly. I looked at Gao Qiuwu with a look of surprise, I really couldn't understand why the men were so relaxed when they didn't show up, you know, the place where everyone is now is the place where the person in the story died!
Isn't that nonsense? The first three paintings are realist and the last one is impressionist, can this be reconciled?
Listening to my words, Gao Qiuwu glanced at Shi Lingren, looking very complacent, as if he was happy that he had finally found an opportunity to teach Shi Lingren a lesson.
"You know what, that's not what I mean!" Shi Lingren replied dissatisfiedly, and then turned back to look at the mural, as if trying to find something wrong on it.
When I saw Shi Lingren's solemn expression, I also carefully observed the murals. After taking such a closer look, I realized that there was something not quite right.
I started with the first painting and searched carefully. When my eyes fell on the third painting, I was immediately attracted to something on the painting.
"Palace lantern!" I screamed.
The two of them were immediately attracted by my voice and came to my side. I pointed to the third painting and said, "I know something is wrong, it's this lantern!" You see, in the first two paintings, it is a blue sky and a white day, and those people don't have palace lights in their hands, why is it that in the third painting, or the day, there are more lights in those people's hands? β
"And you see." I pointed to the palace lamp in the third painting and said, "Logically speaking, these murals are only painted in the form of metaphors, and the people in the paintings represent all the worshippers of the immortals. Then, there is no need for him to draw details, such as the palace lamp used for lighting. Moreover, this palace lamp appears to be large and long according to the scale, and it is located at the center point of the whole picture. From this point of view, it is clear that the painter painted it in order to highlight the lantern. β
Shi Lingren leaned his face to the third painting and nodded: "Shui Yue is right, there is really a problem here." β
"If, judging from the frescoes, the third painting emphasizes a palace lamp, and the fourth painting depicts skeletons and monsters representing death, is it possible to assume that in this Dan room, if there is no light, death will be brought? For example, those blind fish, monsters have phototaxis? I whispered.
Most of the moths in this world are phototaxis, although they will be burned into a puff of smoke, they will not hesitate for a moment, and the same is true for some fish. There was even a method of fishing with lights. Other life forms will also exhibit phototaxis and fattening. People are also phototaxis animals, and with lights, they can see their surroundings clearly, and the feeling of fear in people's psychology is much better. This is the inferior nature of animals...... No, this is the nature of all living beings, and the basis for judging the actions of every cell in the human body is the tendency to benefit from oneself. People infected with rabies also begin to experience only photophobia, chills, hunger, and other symptoms. They even started attacking their companions to spread the virus.
In the middle of the ancient ruins is also a stone stele, the stele is engraved with some ancient words, we lit up all the Changxin Palace lamps in the ancient ruins, and then held a Changxin Palace lamp to the stone tablet in the middle of the ancient ruins, and studied it carefully.
Shi Lingren's hand slid down the text on the stone tablet, carefully identifying the contents inside.
After watching it for a while, Shi Lingren's expression relaxed for a while, and he saw us looking at him curiously, with a look on his face that he would tell me quickly.
Shi Lingren smiled at first, then turned his head away from my expression and continued to watch. But Gao Qiuwu began to pull me anxiously, asking me to urge him to tell himself quickly.
"Tell me what this says." I'm not polite to ask.
"Well...... this"
"Don't sell it, say it quickly." I stared at Shi Lingren, and the hand pulling at my clothes became harder and harder, constantly urging myself to tell the answer.
Seeing enough of my anxious look, Shi Lingren pointed to the words on the stone tablet and said one by one: "Here is the process of selecting a site for alchemy in Longtan Village. About the Han Dynasty, the age can not be examined, when the beacon fire is in the sky, the people are not living, the plague is everywhere, the evil ghosts eat people, the emperor of the dynasty in order to respond to the will of heaven, the end of the struggle in accordance with the will of God to invite the hidden Zhang Daoling Heavenly Master out of the mountain alchemy, with the dragon and tiger elixir to ignite the runic water, drive away ghosts and calm the world, the following is to say some words of praise and virtue, saying how the emperor is diligent and loves the people, how to sympathize with the people's livelihood.
"Huh? Is that just this? Dissatisfied, I put on an expression of how this is the case at Shi Lingren.
The eight immortals are handed down from generation to generation, Li Ji, Rong Cheng, Dong Zhongshu, Zhang Daoling, Yan Junping, Li Babai, Changshou, and Ge Yongbi. Shi Lingren thought about it and said that Zhang Daoling, the founder of Taoism, was born in the period of Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
He is a native of Peiguo, who was originally a scholar in Taixue, and is proficient in the five classics of "Poetry", "Book", "Rite", "Yi" and "Spring and Autumn". In his later years, he sighed and said, "Mastering the Five Classics is of no use to prolonging life!" He began to abandon his official position and enter Luo, and came to Bashu to learn the way of immortality in Heming Mountain. He has integrated Confucianism and Taoism, practiced the way of the Sanyuan Mo Dynasty for many years, and has been repeatedly sensitive. I also got the Dragon and Tiger Zhongdan technique of the Yellow Emperor's "Jiuding Alchemy Secret Recipe", and I wanted to test the alchemy according to the secret recipe. But the alchemy stone is very expensive, Zhang Daoling's family is very poor, there is no way to get rich, farming and grazing is not his specialty, so he simply shows people with the water that cures diseases, so the people gather around him to beg him to cure his illness, worship him as a teacher, and have tens of thousands of disciples.
When Emperor Shun of the Han Dynasty, Zhang Daoling created five buckets of rice in Heming Mountain, claiming that he would meet by fate, and was awarded the Dharma for three days by Taishang Laojun, and was named the position of Heavenly Master. Unlike Zhang Jiao, the drug lord teacher of the Yellow Turban Uprising, although Zhang Daoling gained a lot of money and people's hearts because of this, he just used the money to buy herbs and stones for refining the elixir, and the alchemy liquid returned to the pill, and finally refined the pill. After refining the Dan, Zhang Daoling only took half a pair, and he was able to fractal scattering, and he sat there without a shadow immediately. Or use the doppelganger technique to divide yourself into dozens of people. Morphing and flying can do anything. It is said that there was a pool in front of Zhang Daoling's door, and he often took a boat to play in the water, and his Taoist friends and guests crowded the courtyard and streets. He set aside himself to talk to the guests, and his real body was still playing on the boat in the pool.
Later, he entered Songgao Mountain from Poyang and obtained the hidden book "The Art of Life", which can summon ghosts and gods with a cane. The so-called Zhengyi ancestor entered the land of Shu, applied Fu Shui, revitalized education, set up 24 rules in Heming Mountain, spread the law of the Zhengyi Alliance, and subdued and even exterminated the indigenous gods who were powerful and blessed in Shu. That is, the original form of the supernatural stories of "Zhang Tianshi's Teachings to the Twelve Goddesses of Yanjing", "Zhang Tianshi's Subduing of the Eight Great Ghosts", and "Zhang Tianshi's Six Demon Kings". At that time, there was a lot of turmoil and crisis in the country. In addition, the road has fallen, and it cannot save the people in danger and help the world. Emperor Yongjianian of the Han Dynasty named him a heavenly teacher, and made him take the lead in teaching, cultivating truth, and Taoism.
The second generation of immortals Zhang Heng word Lingzhen, inheritance of cultivation, the world called him the heir, in the second year of the Ling Emperor Guanghe, the age of his own Wei, the twenty-third day of the first month, Yu Yangping became an immortal, and ascended to heaven in the daytime. Since then, a solid foundation has been laid for Zhang Tianshi's lineage. Even his grandson Zhang Luzi was in the public period, and then the decline of the Han Dynasty's national fortunes and the chaotic destiny of the Central Plains, he served as the governor of Liangzhou and Yizhou, and the general of Zhennan, and governed the military and government in Hanzhong. Cao Cao issued an order from Emperor Ling, and gave him a knighthood. Soon, because Liu Zhang lost Shu, Liu Bei raised troops, and Zhang Lutuo died and disappeared. This is a Taoist record, but there is no record of him relying on the country's sovereignty to do things here, alchemy to save the country and save the people!
"Yes! Historically, the development of Taoism in China to Zhang Daoling is beginning to take shape, and Zhang Jiao is a peak, but it is a pity that Zhang Jiaotian is not a holiday, the ambition is great and talented, and Taoism can not be made into a state religion, but because of his incident, the good Taiping Road was defeated by the imperial court, only Zhang Lu's five buckets of rice are left, Taoism then fell into a trough, Buddhism took advantage of the situation, made an accomplice for the Wuhu Chaohua, numbed the Han people who were tortured by ethnic integration, and became a cancer of the national ideological body...... If Zhang Daoling really relied on the state to rule the law, why is there no record in history? Gao Qiuwu was in a trance.
According to the inscription, because the emperor was later attacked and said that he was reckless in military force, laboring the people and losing money just for the sake of alchemy immortality, which was a great harm to the world, he had to issue an edict of guilt, and this period of the past was also obliterated, but according to the inscription, the Dragon and Tiger Pill should have been successful. I think, is it that after refining the elixir of immortality at that time, it was known to people, so the emperor issued a gag order, and the formula elixir was hidden for people, and the feudal society was also like this, requiring immortality, refining the art of furnace fire costs a lot, and it is always necessary to find a name, especially those in power, the most important thing to do is to find a "name", because even if it is a thief, there are concerns about leaving a name in history. Even for the sake of one's own selfish desires, one has to find a nice excuse to cover up one's actions, and as a person in power, asking for the people's life is the best excuse.
However, it is also possible that Zhang Daoling feels that since I have already refined, and after taking the medicine, I will enter the state of ascension, so I think it is possible for Zhang Daoling to keep it, and it is possible for the Heavenly Master Daoist to steal it or hand it in directly, and even if they succeed in refining, we don't know whether they succeed in refining or not. β
Sighing, Shi Ling pretended to be disappointed. "Immortal! Sounds really appealing. Even the emperor has to pull off the horse! If it were given to the emperor, it may not be possible to see the modern society now, you know, the emperor can be the whole world for generations, suppress all the sprouts of resistance, at that time we really don't know if there are still democratic and scientific resistors even if the West is strong. "
"What the are you talking about!"
Haha laughed twice, and I pulled up the Shiling man who was lying down more and more. Only to find out that he was already sweating.
"Perhaps, after all, people's thirst for immortality is too hungry. A world where everyone is immortal and there is no change and innovation is also terrifying. Gao Qiuwu was thoughtful.
"That's too, but, if it's me, instead of living alone for a long time, I'd rather live like an ordinary person for a long time, after all, even if you are carrying a young body, but the mentality is still old, tired, if you become the lonely immortal in the mountains without nails, cold and unknown years for a thousand years, I can't die, that's called real discomfort."
I smiled and said to Shi Lingren, the smile in my eyes made Shi Lingren smile back, raised his body slightly, put the kiss on my lips, and said, "I'm also very happy." β
Die to you!
I want to drown him with saliva!
"Look at the stele doesn't say anything useful to us...... Especially about the first pot of gold that the Yue family made a fortune. "I gave up the study of the stele and turned to the furnishings and environment around the ancient ruins.
Carrying the Changxin Palace lamp, we turned to the left and right sides of the ancient ruins to look up, and when we came to the left side of the ancient ruins, the Changxin Palace lamp in the hand of the Shiling people suddenly went out with a breath, just when the Shiling people didn't know what to do, I had already used my own Changxin Palace lamp to light up the Changxin Palace lamp in the hands of the Shiling people.
Once again, the lights lit up the dark jungle around him.
Shi Lingren looked at the Changxin Palace lamp that had been extinguished and lit up, suddenly took my hand, and walked towards the depths on the left side of the ancient ruins.
I was led to the end, and I was confronted by a wall, which slammed the Shiling man into his arms.
Shi Lingren covered his nose and squatted down, and I watched from the side and laughed secretly.
Shi Ling glanced back at me, then pulled me to crouch down and pointed ahead for me to see.
In the light of the Changxin Palace lamp, I looked ahead.
Looking at the sturdy stone wall, there turned out to be a small door that was more than half a person high, and there was a gust of wind leaking from the stone wall in the small door!
"Hehe, I look carefully, the Changxin Palace lamp was blown out by these winds just now." smiled very proudly, if you use the old Huang Li's words, Shi Ling people are so proud that they their noses and stand them high.
Reaching out and pinching Shi Lingren's nose, listening to Shi Lingren's screams, I crossed Shiling people, walked to the small door, first knocked on the door with my hand, listened to the thick sound of knocking on the stone slab, and then followed the direction of the door, pulling hard.
Can't pull it open!
I went up with the Shiling people...... Still can't pull it away!
Gao Qiuwu's sneer came from behind him: "It's really combat power five!" Both! β
Gao Qiuwu looked at it for a while, and then said to us, "Follow me!" β
We looked at each other, and then followed Gao Qiuwu to the side of the wall, Gao Qiuwu shone a flashlight on the wall, and said: "We lawyers are experts in exploiting loopholes, and the quickest way should be to dig here...... Hey? Why is there already a small hole here? β
At this time, the two also found that there was already a round hole under the wall in front of them. The bricks have been warped and the earthen walls have been dug up. I expected that the ancestor of the Yue family dug it, and said to the two: "It seems that most of them were dug by the Yue family who came in before, and they probably have already gone in and stolen cultural relics to make a fortune, either because they did not steal it clean and leave it to their descendants, or in order to cover up the crime, they dug a tunnel to connect it with the Danfang." β
Gao Qiuwu nodded at me, shook his head again, and sighed: "I didn't expect that the place where they dug a small hole is also here, I have heard that the ancients have the ability to find the entrance, and it seems that it is really not a false rumor." β
I glanced at him suspiciously, I lay down, raised the flashlight and shone it in, and immediately found that this small hole is really not shallow, and looking at the traces of this excavation, the Yue family must have used more advanced explosives, it seems that they are really prepared. After looking at it for a while, seeing that there was nothing wrong with this small hole, Shi Ling turned back to the people behind him and said, "Let's go in, I'll take the lead, and you will follow behind." β
After that, Shi Ling was the first, and I immediately got in.
The smell of earth in the cave is very strong, and the air is damp and cold, so the taste of drilling inside is really unpleasant. Shi Lingren saw that the hole was still easy to climb, so he beckoned the two of them to speed up. After climbing about four or five meters with the two of them, the small hole began to fold to the left, and it seemed that it should be possible to directly lead from here to the Dan room behind the stone door.
Soon, we were crawling out of the small holes one by one. I stood up, lifted the lamp of the Changxin Palace, and shone it around.
This is really a road to the Dan Chamber, and at the left end is the four-meter-thick ...... Gao Qiuwu visually inspected...... The stone gate, and the right end stretches straight in, the distance is dark, and the Changxin Palace lamp can't shine into the depths. I saw that I had finally arrived at the inside of the Gu Dan room, and from now on I had to be vigilant, and when I thought of this, I turned back to the two of them and said, "Let's go forward, remember to be careful." β
Then, we set off again and walked deeper into the Dan Chamber.
The road to the Dan Room is very wide, enough for five people to walk side by side, which shows what a huge project it was to build this Dan House back then. However, according to the experience of film and television dramas, what I am most worried about is such a wide Dan room, because of the large scale, it is too easy to hide the mechanism, and any machine crossbow, quicksand and the like can appear in this kind of Dan room.
To make matters worse, the further we went, the stronger the rancid smell of snakes and insects became, and even though we all covered our mouths and noses with wet towels, the smell of the towels filtered out of our noses was still disgusting. After a little further ahead, I only heard the sizzling sound gradually coming from the front, this is the sound of unknown snakes and insects hissing, I raised my ears to carefully identify, only to hear this sound wave after wave echoing in the cave wall, I don't know how amazing the number of snakes and insects in this vicinity is, from the sound can be heard that this group of snakes and insects did not crawl, just stopped in place and neighed, even so, this endless sizzling sound still made me tremble when I heard it, and I was shocked when I heard it, and I couldn't help but feel cold down my whole back. Both of them recognized from their voices that the number of snakes and insects was not small, so they both stopped in unison, not daring to rush forward half a step further.
As soon as I turned an intersection, my eyes suddenly opened up.
I walked cautiously in front, holding my flashlight in front of me as I slowly poked my feet out.
But I saw a neat stone room in front of me, full of alchemy supplies, and a box was placed upright on the stove, which was particularly grand. It is a wooden box made of fine sandalwood.
The box is delicately carved with exquisite patterns, and the scene of the dragon and tiger leaping is twisted and twisted and climbed on top of the wooden box, which looks extremely exquisite.
"There can't really be an elixir, right?"
We looked at each other and we smiled. How can it be!
In the center of the wooden box is carved are countless strange monsters, blazing, different from the monsters seen along the way, these monsters are carved very delicately, even the pupils are depicted like the real one, as if inlaid in the wooden box, looking ahead. Seems to be guarding something!
When it came to the end, we hesitated instead, and after several eyebrows with Shi Lingren...... Anyway, we decided to open the box.
The antiquities that have been sealed for a long time have finally been exposed to the world again.
Inside the wooden box is a layer of flannel, a thick layer, and the red flannel wraps the secret.
Shi Ling reached out and lifted the flannel, suddenly, hiss, a shadow quickly emerged from the dark area of the image on the wooden box, fortunately Shi Lingren stretched out his hand quickly so that he was not hit by the shadow, but it really scared me.
Sizzle, sizzle!
In the pattern space of the wooden box, countless shadows stood upright, making a "sizzling" sound and looking around, and the soft long body stood upright in the box, only the upper body appeared.
Suddenly, I heard a fishy stench coming from the front, which was the smell of snakes, and those shadows were snakes.
Looking at the vicious appearance of the snake, we were stunned for a moment, we didn't expect that there was such a large snake hidden in such a small box, besides, after hundreds of years, I didn't expect this snake to be alive, is it that it has been in hibernation?
No, it was supposed to be a graphic, and the blurred edges are visible, is this a pixel invasion?
Even if there is a lot of doubt about the snake, at this moment, the most important thing is how to lure the snake away, so that you can really get in touch with the treasure inside the box.
The group of snakes in front of us still looked at us defensively, most of them were not formed, but the first one really made us really unable to think of a way. It's only going to get more and more like this, and it seems that there's really no other way to fight them than to fight them. There are many kinds of strange snakes crawling out of the box, in addition to the five-step snake, gold and silver ring, mountain wind, strange snakes and other highly poisonous snakes, there are many can't see the variety, and the strange snake that can't be called can not be named, I am afraid that most of these rare snakes in the world have strong aggression, as well as enough to kill the elephant with severe toxicity, once unfortunately bitten, even if you carry snake medicine, you may not be able to use it, poisonous blood attack the heart often only takes a few seconds, these venom can pull people closer to the palace of Hades in an instant.
The strange snakes, the snakes, and the strange snakes that were slowly crawling on the soft ground seemed to hear some special signal sound, and as soon as the neighing sound of the snakes fell, they all stood up with their heads erect, and spat out their snake cores wildly, and a pair of green eyes stared at all the enemies in front of them.
Seeing such a terrifying scene, even if it was Shi Lingren, it was like a great enemy, and at the same time was sizzled by so many snakes staring at the snake core, which was also the first time for Shi Lingren that the big girl got on the sedan chair, and I was so scared that I was hiding in his shadow and my hair suddenly stood up, and my whole body trembled.
When you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins! Thinking of this, we looked at each other, and then took the weapon with us, and prepared to walk towards the snake, at this time, Shi Ling people suddenly oops, I glanced at the ground, only to see a wooden stick about one meter long on the ground, the end is also forked, forming the shape of a maid, Shi Ling people saw it and let go of the Swiss Army knife in his hand to pick up the wooden stick.
"I heard that the ancient monks knew the art of qi forbidden, and that broke the evil spirit, the worm and snake were easy to dispel. I suspect that this is through the color and smell of the appliance to achieve something similar to psychological suggestion...... In the court, the position of Doctor of Curse was also established, and this was the reason for this. Objectively speaking, whether it is the Thirteen Disciplines of Blessing and Heavenly Medicine in the East Asian system, or the sacred prayer and spiritual therapy of the Western European school, such auxiliary healing techniques rarely really borrow supernatural powers, but rely more on the psychological suggestion of the patient to mobilize the human body's self-healing ability. Even in societies where the prevalence of various spells and incantations is quite high, simply manipulating supernatural forces to invest in medical treatment is a serious waste of resources, and pharmacology and psychosuggestion therapy, which is basically very biased, still occupy a considerable place in medical activities.
It's a pity that this qi forbidden technique has been lost, but according to my restoration, in fact, this method is difficult to say, and easy to say. Snakes and insects gather, no matter how many there are, there will be one or even several snake kings lurking in the meantime, the snakes are afraid of the snake king, and they all accept the command of the snake king, when a person is attacked by the snakes, he only needs to find the snake king in the snake group, and the snake king will be subdued, then the snakes under the command of the snake king will not dare to attack this person again. It is easy to say that this method is because it is very simple to find the snake king in the group of snakes, and the snake king who leads the hundred snakes will inevitably give orders, and the snake head is the target of the snakes. It is said that it is difficult because it is very tricky to avoid the siege of the snakes and take down the snake king among thousands of strange snakes. β
I watched Shi Lingren's movements, and immediately understood. Is this the wooden staff used by Zhang Tianshi?
Capture the thief and capture the king first, this snake is not the snake king is also a pioneer, if you can, we also want to study whether this thing has anything to do with the world in the mirror, then, since there is a way, just capture this snake alive.
I immediately cleaned up a bag that I had with me, put all the useful things in the backpack, and left the bag empty, and everything was ready, just waiting for a signal from the Shi Ling people.
Shi Lingren stretched out his hand and grabbed a strange snake close to him in his hand, pinched the seven inches of the strange snake, and with a little force on his wrist, he directly pinched off the head of the strange snake, and then threw the dead strange snake into the snake group again at will.
This move of the Shi Ling people completely angered the snakes, especially the strange snakes in the snake group, all of them became very crazy and irritable, and galloped quickly in the direction of the Shi Ling people. I was so nervous that I couldn't breathe.
"The first"!
"The second one"!
When the snake group has surrounded the Shi Ling people, they attacked the Shi Ling people one after another, but the Shi Ling people stood in the snake group as if they were strolling in the courtyard, but whenever a strange snake wanted to get close to the Shi Ling people, it would always be shocked by the wooden staff in the hands of the Shi Ling people, and then it was very simple to grab its seven inches, obviously every strange snake that fell into the hands of the Shi Ling people did not have a good end.
The strange snake kept dying, and the snake obviously began to panic, as the hole card in his hand, the strange snake was the key to whether he could succeed in the plan, plus the Dan room was originally very small, and anyone's every move would be watched. Obviously, Shi Lingren's performance suddenly made the snake angry. His mouth hissed desperately. If he can speak human words, he should be shouting, "Kill, kill me, kill him." β
"It's your turn!"
Taking advantage of the urgency of the snakes, the Shi Ling people walked to the side of the snake with a wooden staff, and the snake looked at the Shi Ling people vigilantly, and when the Shi Ling people were not close, they "sizzled" a warning, and then spit out the venom.
