Chapter 35: Sword Light Array (II) (Revised Version)
What is the saying?
God replied, "There is no such thing as a blessing, but there is no one thing in disguise." ”
This was the first thing that came to my mind as I stood on the edge of the sword array.
The grasshopper braked sharply and stopped about half a meter to my left, and in the face of such a strange and amazing scene, he only gasped for breath and couldn't say a word.
Jiang Yuan stood very quietly to the side, his eyes silently watching everything in front of him, and his deep and bright eyes revealed endless mystery.
This is a pale blue sea of wonders, with a faint blue light of crystal stones paving the entire passage, and in this "blue ocean", seven swords are set in the direction of the Big Dipper, each sword is engraved with a unicorn stepping on the fire and burning wind, the eyes are red, the mouth contains fire beads, the sword handle dragon pattern decoration, the scabbard stands on one side, the complex decoration can be called a peerless work.
If I hadn't been in the catacombs, I would have thought I was in an ice cave in the heart of the snow-capped mountains.
The three of us were stunned by what we saw.
After more than ten seconds, Jiang Yuan was the first to come to his senses, he used a mountaineering rope to lasso the sword closest to us, and then pulled it hard, the sword body flashed coldly, and it fell steadily into Jiang Yuan's hand.
"What are you doing?" I asked him.
Jiang Yuan flicked the position of the sword with his fingers, and the sound went straight to the ear drum, "Sure enough, it's a sword." ”
I saw him staring at the sword in his hand with an approving face and smiling, and immediately said, "Big brother, stop playing, you like it a lot, let's think of a way to solve the dilemma in front of us first." ”
After Jiang Yuan waved his sword a few times, he said to me, "This kind of mechanism is easy to crack, as long as it is there. ”
Almost at the same time, I said to the grasshopper, "Then you come." ”
Jiang Yuan fixed the sword on himself with a mountaineering rope, and then motioned for the gnats to go to his side, I secretly laughed on the side, and the gnats walked towards Jiang Yuan for unknown reasons, just two steps away, I saw Jiang Yuan jumping flat on the ground, his left foot stepped on the shoulder of the grasshopper, and his right foot stepped on his right shoulder, and then the whole person rushed upwards with force, and then the whole person disappeared in front of my eyes.
After he went up, I realized that there was another passage less than two meters above our heads, and I don't know where the passage leads, but less than ten minutes after Jiang Yuan went up, I felt that the rumbling around me had disappeared.
The grasshopper lay on the ground and listened to the movement for a while, then suddenly stood up and said to me, "Boss, there is movement down here." ”
"What's going on?" I asked.
At this time, Jiang Yuan suddenly jumped down from above, his face, hands, and back were stained with unknown liquid, and the faint fragrance seemed to be a woman's perfume.
"What's going on?" I dipped my hand in the unknown liquid on his body, sniffed it, and said, "Have you met the zongzi?" ”
Jiang Yuan shook his head and didn't say much.
The grasshopper looked back at the sword array and said, "This is the main burial chamber below, and"
Jiang Yuan and I looked at him at the same time, and I asked, "And what?" ”
The gnats glanced at Jiang Yuan meaningfully and said, "Boss Jiang, is there anyone else involved in this operation besides us?" ”
Jiang Yuan didn't answer, but I felt that the gnats were a little strange at this moment, so I walked behind me and whispered in his ear, "What's wrong with you kid, what do you mean by this?" ”
The corners of the grasshopper's mouth hooked up a smile, and he snorted lightly, looked directly at Jiang Yuan with his eyes, and continued to ask, "Boss Jiang, please answer my question." ”
Jiang Yuan closed his eyes, and the moment he suddenly opened them, he felt in a trance, as if he had seen this look somewhere.
"I can't answer your question, but someone can tell you the answer." Jiang Yuan showed his usual calmness.
Confused by the inexplicable conversation between the two of them, I jumped up in front of them and gestured to pause, saying, "Stop, before you two get ready to fight, can you let me understand what is going on?" ”
Jiang Yuan was still looking at the sword array expressionlessly, the faint blue color gave people a sense of tranquility, coupled with the gloom of Jiang Yuan's red vest, the whole picture gave people a bewitching and weird feeling.
The grasshopper pulled me aside and whispered, "Boss, you know my ears, just now, when I was lying on the ground, I heard someone talking below, and it was a woman, and the woman said that everything was ready, just waiting for the prey to throw itself into the net." ”
When I asked him why he was so sure that someone was talking, the gnats looked at me in surprise and said, "Boss, am I still wrong if it's a human being?" ”
I said, "The baby fish can cry babies, especially in ancient tombs, anything can happen." ”
The grasshopper's attitude towards me was obviously incomprehensible, and his surprised eyes seemed to warn me not to be affected by some external factors.
Our side is still talking, but Jiang Yuan's side has already begun to act.
He fell to his knees, holding the slab I had dug out in both hands, and held it high above the top, as if in prayer.
"What is he doing?" The grasshopper asked me.
"How do I know? What the hell is the god doing mysteriously? I muttered to myself and watched from the sidelines.
After about a minute, Jiang Yuan gently placed the stone slab on the ground, and then beckoned us over, and the grasshopper tugged at my sleeve very vigilantly, meaning to be careful.
I sometimes don't get used to this overly cautious personality of the grasshopper, as if in his heart, there is no absolute trust in this world, and anyone can deceive and calculate himself, including the people around him, including his parents and brothers.
Jiang Yuan asked me, "Brother Fang Zi, do you know how to play Go?" ”
I said, "I'm not good at learning, but I can play two games." ”
A smile appeared on Jiang Yuan's face after hearing this, "That's fine." ”
As he spoke, he threw me a yellowed piece of paper with a chess game on it, and I briefly looked at it, and this was an endgame, a death game of a ten-sided siege.
Jiang Yuan pointed to the yellow paper in my hand and said, "Wait a minute, I will go into the sword formation to crack the mechanism, and you will point out to me the position of the white pieces on the chess game outside, remember, it must be in order." ”
I immediately shook my head, "It's better for me to go in and crack the mechanism, you can command outside, the ancients, one wrong step, and you will lose everything." ”
Jiang Yuan looked at me with a little doubt, then at the gnats behind me, and then said to me, "Brother Fang Zi isn't worried that I will be scheming against you outside?" ”
I immediately understood the meaning of his words, smiled heartily, pulled the gnats to stand between us, patted him on the shoulder, and said: "This child is suspicious by nature, too cautious, don't take anything you say to heart, as for the calculation, you Jiang Yuan is now the one who wears the same pants with us, if you really want to calculate us, aren't you yourself in a catastrophe?" ”
I let go of the grasshopper, crossed my hands in front of my chest, and continued: "However, since the words have been said about this, I will also make it clearer, I am not interested in where you Jiang Yuan is sacred, nor am I interested in knowing, I only know that at this moment, you are my partner, if we all want to get out alive, there is no need to love and kill each other." ”
After Jiang Yuan heard this, he actually laughed, he pursed his lips and nodded: "No wonder you can have your own 'underground bank' within a few years, my master often says, to do our business, connections and courage are indispensable, so over the years, the masters of the antique world have retired one after another, mainly because of years of operation, the network is getting wider and wider, but the courage is getting smaller and smaller." ”
I smiled, "My aunt often said that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, if those masters who have retired from the rivers and lakes are tigers, then you and I are the calves that climb up on the back of the tiger, bold." ”
Laughing at each other, all the previous haze was completely cleared, and I suddenly found that Jiang Yuan was actually a very talkative person, and he said so many things to me for the first time, which made me a little flattered.
