Chapter 103: The Rose of Qingqiu
"Huainanzi 61 Sutras": "Yao Nai made Yi chisel his teeth in the wilderness of Chouhua, kill nine babies on the fierce water, and pay the wind in the Ze of Qingqiu......
Feng Qiyun said: "Yi and Shun are similar in time, and they are both Dongyi people, and the "Domain of Hua" should not be far from the "Qingqiu Zhize", or adjacent to the area where Shun is active or in the same area. Historical records record that during the Yellow Emperor period, Qingqiu was similar to Kongsang, so the existence of a Qingqiu Ze in this Qingqiu country had been demonstrated as early as that time, but I didn't expect it to be a swamp world hidden deep underground. ”
Cha Wenbin also said: "It seems that the things of the ancestors are not all legends, ancient things, legends and historical facts are confused, and the historical facts are inevitably decorated with fate, which is no different from legends, and there are often historical facts in the legends." ”
How big is this swamp? There is no edge at a glance, and the horizontal height of the Savage Tun is calculated from this underground depth, and it is very likely that even the position above the halfway point of the mountain is hollowed out in this way. The low-hanging rocks are colorfully reflected in the light, and there are droplets of water dripping from time to time, this place is more like a karst cave, and I don't know how the Creator achieved such a miraculous geology, there are pillar-like stones at intervals, and the bottomless silt in the swamp indicates that there was once a large amount of groundwater passing here.
In the swamp, they found another artificially built path, no more than half a meter wide, dozens of centimeters higher than the swamp on both sides, zigzag like a big white snake, and they didn't know where it would lead.
"This project alone will cost an unknown amount of manpower, and I think they must have filled this swamp with all the excess stone from the excavation of this palace." The fat man said: "This Qingqiu country is really interesting, it has built such a large artificial lake behind its imperial city, but this is really not very exquisite, full of silt and black." ”
Cha Wenbin said: "It doesn't look like much, but do you smell the fishy smell of silt?" ”
Not only does it not smell like the rotting earth of the swamp, but it makes people feel a little refreshed, and if you breathe carefully, you can even taste a little sweetness on the tip of your tongue.
The monkey looked at the world nervously and curiously, put its paws into the mud and tried it and hurriedly pulled it back, probably knowing that it was dirty, and wanted to lick it with his tongue, but it was all over his face, and the more it got to the end, the more messy it became, and the white hair on his body was stained with black spots. This also eased the tension and caused a smile on their tense faces.
Thousands of years ago, where the project would have led, this is what they are concerned about now, along the road, the swamp on both sides of the road is constantly bubbling up with white cold, as if the temperature of the silt in this swamp is much cooler than the surrounding area.
The more he walked inside, the fat man felt a little uncomfortable, and he complained: "Ghostly, Cha Ye, is this kind of place suitable for burial?" If so, are we walking on the graveyard now? ”
"This should be the cemetery."
"If it's a tombway, according to the design of this group, then there is no mechanism?" As soon as the fat man's words fell, they felt that they had been a little careless, and when Cha Wenbin realized that a certain stone under his feet was sinking down, it was like stepping on a wooden board floating on the water, and in an instant the swamp reached the silt, and Father Miao, who was standing with him, was not spared, and after only a little struggle, his body sank involuntarily.
"Rope!" Feng Qiyun shouted: "Don't pull it, give them a rope to pull up!" ”
Cha Wenbin, who was pulled ashore, was still trembling with his legs, not knowing whether it was cold or frightened, and they all said that this swamp was a monster that devoured people, and only after experiencing it himself could he understand the power.
"Huh......" he breathed a long sigh of relief and said: "I was careless, I almost affected Daddy Miao, Qiu'er, you take the lead, pay attention to your feet and surroundings, I just felt that something in the mud was pulling me." As he spoke, he pulled up his trouser leg, and there was indeed a purple scratch on his ankle, which was clearly visible.
"It's not going to be a zombie skeleton or something, is it?" The fat man said: "Damn, this ghost place says that the dead are buried, don't you pay attention to what to put into the earth for peace, there is soil everywhere here, will there be dead people everywhere below?" ”
Cha Wenbin said: "I think it's really possible, that thing pulled me and somehow let it go again, from the feeling, I think it's a palm, the strength is very strong, but it can be regarded as picking up a life back." ”
"There's something in the mud?" Feng Qiyun couldn't help frowning, the seemingly peaceful Zeguo also hid such a danger, if it was really as they said, there were zombies hidden under it, then if it was pulled down, there would basically be no chance to come up. Father Miao was also not spared, but he seemed to be a little more powerful than Cha Wenbin, in the end, Lao Jianghu gritted his teeth and didn't say anything, he secretly wiped the blood on the side of his trouser leg to let Feng Qiyun see it.
"What are you?"
"I don't know what to bite, maybe it's a leech," Father Miao frowned when he gently wiped the wound, looking like he was in great pain, Feng Qiyun hurriedly squatted down and lifted his trouser leg to see that a black wound about the size of a little thumb was bleeding out.
"If it's a leech, how big it must be," she said, pulling out a small medicine bottle and pouring some yellow powder on it, "bear with it." Pressing it hard with his fingers, Daddy Miao finally roared in a low voice, the green tendons on his forehead suddenly exploded, his neck became red in an instant, and the beads of sweat on his face immediately dripped down.
The fat man handed over the bandage, Feng Qiyun slowly removed the powder that had begun to turn black, and then put a white one on it, and then tied it with the bandage and asked, "Do you feel better now?" ”
"It's much more comfortable," Father Miao sighed and said, "I was so sick that I wanted to vomit just now." ”
"You're poisoned," Feng Qiyun fed him another pill and said, "This is our herb preparation, which can detoxify some poison, if you can't hold it, let the fat man send you back first." ”
"It's okay," Father Miao struggled to get up, and limped and said: "The leeches in the mountain are quite big, and I'm used to it, maybe it's a little more poisonous here, and I can bear it with an old bone." ”
But soon they found out that there were really leeches in this swamp, at first the fat man thought it was a mud snake writhing there, and when he curiously used a shovel to get it together with the silt, he found that there were four or five leeches mixed in this shovel, and the size was more than several times that of ordinary leeches. That's right, it's the size of an eggplant, and the meat is bulging, so you can imagine that the taste of being bitten by this thing can only be experienced by yourself.
A shovel was hurriedly thrown back into the swamp and the fat man said, "It was the locust that bit him, what the hell is that Rachaye?" ”
Feng Qiyun said: "I really want to know, you go down and try it, I promise to pull you back again." ”
"You have fine skin and tender meat, and it is also the most suitable for you to make bait......"
These two people still like to quarrel wherever they go, and at this moment, Ye Qiu in front of him suddenly raised his hand and said, "Slow down, I seem to have been tricked......"
Just now, he cautiously used the soles of his feet to test the stone in front of him, and after making sure that there was no problem, he took a step forward, but when his center of gravity began to tilt forward, Ye Qiu felt a very slight tremor under his feet, with the kind of collision unique to the mechanism, and suddenly he moved his center of gravity back and maintained the current posture and did not dare to move.
"Don't worry, put the rope on first." The fat man threw away a circle of trekking ropes, and wrapped his head directly around his waist, and Ye Qiu also began to retreat backwards, and at the moment when his toes left the stone, the fat man in the back row felt that the stone under his feet was loose, and then Cha Wenbin also felt the shaking.
No one expected that this time the closing of the foot would bring a series of reactions, and the three stones in the back row would sink down at the same time, and before, these stones did not have anything unusual at all.
In an instant, except for Ye Qiu himself, all of them sank into the swamp, and Feng Qiyun was not spared, and the scalp of the slimy leech in the mud began to tingle.
At this time, the fat man still had the leisure to joke: "Second brother, this is a series of mines sent by the enemy to us, I dare to pack a ticket You haven't seen mine warfare." ”
In fact, it's no wonder that Ye Qiu is not strong, but that the enemy is too cunning. The design of this mechanism is very ingenious, and the first time someone steps on the trap and falls into it, there will naturally be a later one to pull it up, and this one is to wait for a row of people to go up and start again, and you can catch it all at once.
Fortunately, the rope was still on Ye Qiu's body, so he began to recycle the rope, seeing that one of the fat man's hands touched the stone standing at Ye Qiu's feet, and suddenly, Ye Qiu felt that the rope in his hand was sinking down suddenly. The force was so great that he was caught off guard, and the violent friction crossed the palm of his hand, tearing open his tiger mouth in an instant.
As for the fat man, he was still smiling one second, and the next second he was like a weighing stone entering the water, and in an instant, only one head was still exposed from his calf.
The shout of "save my ......" was only two-thirds of the way out, and only a clump of hair remained.
The change came too fast, everyone didn't expect it, the closest thing to him was Feng Qiyun, the latter wanted to pull but couldn't reach it at all, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he hugged the air, and Ye Qiu was even more pulled to the point that he almost planted himself.
In the midst of lightning, Feng Qiyun made a decision, she didn't know if this decision was right or wrong, maybe she would pay the price of her life because of her decision!
