Chapter 64: The Temple of the Dragon King
Lao Zhao said that Greenbeard talked about it, and several people in our company sighed, and they all said that Greenbeard's conscience was greatly broken, and he actually could do anything to the life-saving benefactor Cheng Banxian.
Lao Zhao told us that he had fought with him in an operation many years ago, and Greenbeard was ruthless and regarded human life as a mustard. We all nodded in agreement, and before we knew it, it was already dark at this time, and the others brought by Kaoru Mochizuki had made a meal, and we hastily ate some of them, and each of us was ready to rest.
I got together with the pit and Song Jin, chatted for a while, the pit was not supported, I fell asleep first, and in the end, only Song Jin and I were left. Song Jin added dry wood to the fire unhurriedly and didn't say a word, I don't think it's strange, this is very compatible with his image. Song Jin and Lao Zhao knew each other earlier than me, and they know more about Lao Zhao than I do.
"Classmate Song, do you know what Greenbeard and Lao Zhao have to celebrate?" I asked Song Jin tentatively.
Song Jin raised his head and looked at me, and the movement of adding firewood in his hand never stopped, "I don't know, I've never heard of it." β
Song Jin's temper, I guess I can't ask anything, so I simply fell asleep by myself. Through the branches overhead, several stars hung in the sky, flickering and flickering. I think Greenbeard must have deliberately followed this time, and the target was either Lao Zhao, who had a holiday with him, or ...... It is also a jade seal of the country. If that's really the case, then this time it's lively enough, a group of people grabbing a small seal, and conflict is inevitable.
I don't know how long it took to fall asleep, the strange face in the bushes in my sleep appeared repeatedly, and I dreamed of Greenbeard, who I had never met, but I was awakened by someone when I was immersed in a nightmare, and when I opened my eyes, it was still dark around, and I looked at my watch by the faint light of the fire, and it was more than five o'clock, at dawn.
"Hurry up, get ready to go." It was Kaoru Mochizuki who spoke, whispering in my ear.
I got up and saw that all the people had already packed their equipment, and I was the only one left with the pit still asleep, of course I was not the last to get up, the pit was the last. I whispered a little to the pit, and the pit smacked his lips, and then went to sleep, and I pushed him, but there was no response. I had no choice but to kick him in the waist to wake him up. The pit that woke up covered his waist and looked at me resentfully, and I spread my hands, "Brother pit, you slept too much, I didn't want you to fall behind, so I made this decision." β
Kaoru Mochizuki took out a map, looked at it with a flashlight, and then spoke a few words of Japanese with Kazuya Sasaki, I didn't understand what was said, I only heard Sasaki say "Hi Hi" twice, and then the team continued to move deeper into the mountain.
I only know that we came to Fenglongshan this time to find the ancient tomb that may hide the jade seal of the country, but the specific location of the ancient tomb, I don't know, this time a few of us were hired by people to be mercenaries, in principle, as long as we obey the order, obey the command is OK, when the time comes to find the jade seal, we take the money, everything is fine. Having said that, I vaguely feel that Lao Zhao doesn't think so in his heart, he still has his own thoughts, maybe in the end he will be desperate to seize the jade seal, and he won't ask for the money.
It has never been my character to walk with my head bored, so I walked a few steps to catch up with Kaoru Mochizuki and said, "The girl is in a hurry, and she has to leave the camp before dawn." β
"Hiding from the track, Greenbeard is still around us, and I want to use this to get rid of them." Kaoru Mochizuki said.
I sighed, thinking that this idea is good, but I'm afraid it's not that simple to get rid of Greenbeard's gang, if we hadn't found the "shadow" in the bushes yesterday, we wouldn't have known that we had been followed along the way, and since Greenbeard had already followed here, we would never give up because we set off early.
I asked tentatively, "Now the specific location can be determined, I mean the location of the ancient tomb?" β
Kaoru Mochizuki glanced at me and said, "Sort of, Sasaki has a lot of research on Chinese Feng Shui, and with the information from the Yugui text, it should be determined soon." β
Now I understand, we still don't know where to go, I can't help but feel a little funny, and then I think of Sasaki that Kaoru Mochizuki said, and I can't help but look at it a few more times, the four-eyed imperial army has been concentrating on my feet, and I didn't notice that I was looking at him, I didn't think that this thing had been hidden in my Great Celestial Empire for a long time, and even our feng shui was thoroughly understood by him, and one day the Japanese invaded China again, Sasaki must be a pioneer material. And what happened after that just confirmed that Sasaki is indeed a more powerful character.
It was the early autumn season, and the dew in the mountains and forests was very heavy in the early morning, and after walking not far, my two trouser legs were soaked with dew, and the dew flowed down my legs into my shoes. As I walked, I looked behind me to see if any Greenbeard was coming up, but at dawn the light in the mountains and forests was so dim that I could hardly see anything. We walked in the morning dew like this, no one spoke, and I didn't know where to go, I only knew that we had entered the depths of the mountain forest, and there was a great distance between here and the already open scenic spot, and you could feel it from the thickness of the fallen leaves under your feet, and almost no one would come here.
The sun rose in the early morning, and because we were in the shade at this time, there was no sunlight shining in, but we could clearly feel the light around us gradually getting stronger. This journey has been until nine o'clock in the morning, the group is tired of not doing, in fact, in the usual words, there is nothing to exercise for a few hours, the key is that we have been climbing the mountain for a few hours, but also against the green water in the early morning, the feet are slippery, and the increase in physical exertion is also inevitable.
Through the dense trees, I saw a mountain peak not far from us, and I could see a dilapidated house on the top of the peak, which must have been quite old, and the reason why it has not been demolished until now has a lot to do with its location in the mountains. Kaoru Mochizuki motioned for everyone to stop and take a break here, and then called Lao Zhao and me, as well as Sasaki, to explore the path to the peak first.
We were just about to leave, when Zhao Xiaoxu came over in a hurry, grabbed my arm, and said cutely, "Brother Ling, I'm going too." I didn't know what to do for a while, so I was stunned there, and the pit pretended to be angry next to me: "Little children, follow what nonsense, hurry back to do your homework." Kaoru Mochizuki looked at Lao Zhao and nodded, "Let's come together!" "So the five of us started to move towards the mountain not far away.
Although the distance was not long, it was not easy to walk, and several places were blocked by intertwined trees, and I had to cut off some branches with a knife to move forward, and on the way I had to go around several large rocks protruding from the mountain, and the dew on the rocks hit my neck and brought a chill. Zhao Xiaosu pulled my arm all the way, step by step, I know in my heart that Zhao Xiaoxu's skills are much more powerful than me, but as a man, I always have a love for my little sister, so I let her pull like this, but I don't know what Lao Zhao will think, will I think that I am cheap to his daughter, fortunately, Lao Zhao just looked back and didn't say anything.
More than half an hour later, we finally climbed to the top, the moment I climbed the mountain forest, the first ray of sunlight that belonged to me in the morning finally shone on my body, at ten o'clock in the morning in early autumn, there was still some coolness on the top of the mountain, but compared to the shady side of the mountain, it was much better, at this moment I finally realized why those cold-blooded animals have to lie on the stone every day to bask in the sun to warm up their bodies before moving.
The peak is a flat land of two or three hundred square meters, and the ground is finely inlaid with gravel, which is obviously deliberately leveled by someone. Not far from us, there is a stone turtle carrying a large stone tablet squatting there, the text of the stone tablet is very weathered, but you can still identify the three big characters of "Longjiao Peak", as for some of the small characters below it is completely unclear. Seeing the three words of Longjiaofeng, Kaoru Mochizuki took out the map and compared it, and muttered to himself for a long time, anyway, I couldn't understand what she was saying.
At the other end of the flat land, there is the dilapidated house we saw at the bottom of the peak, when we were at the bottom of the peak, the field of vision was limited, and we could only see a corner of the house, but at this time we could clearly see that it was originally a temple. We walked up to the front and saw a plaque hanging above the door that was about to decay, with three big characters of "Dragon King Temple" written on it, and the temple door had already broken down and fell to the side. Judging from the degree of dilapidation, it is estimated that no one has repaired it for hundreds of years, and the house is of excellent quality if it has not fallen.
I walked into the ruined temple with my feet raised, and was confronted by a seated statue of a dragon king, with a dragon's head and a human body, wearing a golden crown, a pair of golden horns divided into the left and right of the crown, hands crossed in front of my chest, staring and opening my mouth, sitting upright on the throne. There are two smaller stone statues next to the statue of the dragon king, it seems that they are the entourage of the dragon king, I don't know much about this kind of thing, but Sasaki gave the answer, the two smaller statues are the turtle prime minister and the crab general, I suddenly realized, this dragon king's staff is still very comprehensive, I asked Lao Zhao if this guy ever lied to us, Lao Zhao shook his head, meaning that it was exactly what Sasaki said.
In addition to these three statues, there are also a number of other smaller stone statues placed on the sides, each of which has a strange appearance, as if it has been seen somewhere, but none of them can be named, and in general it is some kind of creature that only exists in mythology. ββββToday's night shift ended early.,So it's updated early.,Thank you.ββ
