Chapter Seventy-One: The Ninth Dragon

It can be seen from Lao Zhao's pace that he is obviously in his chest. As soon as Lao Zhao stepped into the temple gate, he immediately squatted down in front of the incense burner of the dragon king statue, then got up and laughed: "I found it, another dragon is here." "Our group of people and the second monk were puzzled, and looked carefully at the incense burner, sure enough, there was a beast shape on each stove foot, but why was Lao Zhao so confident that he could find another dragon statue here?

Through Lao Zhao's explanation, we were able to understand that Lao Zhao was also inspired by the stone tablet outside to quickly find this dragon son. Speaking of the dragon under the stele, the shape is like a turtle, so it is load-bearing, so it has been carrying a stele for many years, since it can be hidden here, it is good to be a fireworks, lying on the incense burner for many years, and it is based on this that Lao Zhao quickly found the dragon who "smoked". For such a result, we all shouted that it was magical, if we changed to a layman to find it, we would not be able to find it here.

Counting the original six statues in the temple, and the two we just found, now that the eight dragons have gathered, where is the remaining one? We were about to rummage through it again, but Kaoru Mochizuki suddenly said, "No need to look for it, I know where the other one is." ”

Hearing this, we all looked at her, no one knew when she would find the ninth dragon, including me who had been with her, and I had never heard her say it.

"Miss, don't be kidding, you haven't done it yet, you found it, lie to us countrymen?." The pit will always find an opportunity to taunt Kaoru Mochizuki, although this is his god of wealth.

Kaoru Mochizuki smiled and said: "Actually, we have found this ninth dragon a long time ago, but we haven't cared about it, I just saw the dragon under the stone tablet and the dragon at the foot of the incense burner, I suddenly reacted, in fact, it has been with us all along." With that, Kaoru Mochizuki took off his backpack and reached out for a box, and when the box was opened, we understood the reason for it in a few moments.

There is nothing else in the box, it is the jade gui we brought out from the tomb of General Wu Si, and we have confirmed before that there is a statue of Pixiu hidden in this jade gui, through the connection between the things before and after, the Pixiu in this jade gui must be the ninth statue.

"That's no problem, so we need to get the Pixiu out of here?" The pit is still unconvinced, and continues to give Kaoru Mochizuki problems.

Kaoru Mochizuki didn't speak, but picked up Yugui and jumped directly onto the pedestal of the dragon king statue, and before we could react, she had already inserted Yugui into the dragon king's arched hands. At the same time that Yugui inserted the dragon king's hands, the dragon king's eyes suddenly opened, not that the dragon king's original eyes were closed, but that the current dragon king's eyes had become clear and bright. With a hula sound, all the dragon statues in the temple turned their heads to the dragon king statues, and the dragon king's body slowly turned backwards.

The dragon turns back! Seeing such a result, we were all very surprised, and the start was good, and the matter has become more than half. At this time, a strong beam of light wanted to shine directly from outside the temple, cast on the incense burner, and then dispersed into twelve rays of light, shooting towards the eyes of the six dragons, and then reflected from the eyes of the six dragons, and shot at the head of the dragon king.

Looking back at the outside of the temple, the original back to us had already made a 180-degree turn, and his head was facing the main hall, and the strong light was shining through a small hole in the top of the stone tablet on his back. We ran to the stele and took a closer look to understand that there was a jade lens hidden at the top of the stele, and when the stele was turned back and forth, the jade lens could gather light and shoot out from the reserved hole, and the location of the irradiation was on the incense burner.

After returning to the temple, after a careful inspection, I realized that the eyes of each dragon, including the incense burner wall, had made the same mechanism, which could evenly disperse and reflect the light projected on the top of the stone tablet.

But in the end, all the light converged on the head of the dragon king, and finally shot out of the dragon king's eyes, and a typical Chinese landscape painting was projected on the wall.

"Mother, high-tech." The pit wiped the sweat from his forehead and said casually.

"Turtle, this is called a projector, I can't imagine that our ancestors have already invented slides, this should apply for world cultural heritage." I quipped.

Without further ado, our group brushed up to the pedestal and looked carefully at the slightly bleak landscape painting on the wall. There are three mountains in the picture, the left and right two are slightly shorter, one of them is higher, a waterfall is like a white dragon, hanging down from the mountain in the middle, straight into the mountain stream, the waterfall is halfway up, there is a black hole, just cut a white dragon into two, and then converge together.

"Longyan" old Zhao Wu said to himself.

"Dragon's eye? Also longan. "The pit said.

Lao Zhao smiled and did not speak. At this time, Sasaki approached Kaoru Mochizuki and said it, Kaoru Mochizuki looked happy and said, "Teacher Zhao is discerning, admire, admire." ”

I didn't understand what Sasaki said, but from the words of Lao Zhao and Kaoru Mochizuki, I already understood that the entrance to the ancient tomb was in the "dragon's eye".

"And where are these mountains?" I asked, pointing to the picture on the wall.

Kaoru Mochizuki smiled and reached out to remove Yugui, the shadow on the wall suddenly disappeared, and the statue of the dragon king slowly turned back. Kaoru Mochizuki walked out of the temple gate quickly, came to the platform, pointed to the west, we followed her hand to look over, and what caught our eyes was the three mountains of two low and one high, but because the line of sight was blocked, we could not see the "dragon's eye" on the platform.

We felt a sense of relief that after working for so long and suffering so much, we had finally found the ancient tomb. Several of them looked at each other and smiled, and immediately removed the flat top and advanced to the camp under the peak.

When I arrived at the camp, I saw Zhang Xiaojun organizing people to practice sanda, and Zhao Xiaojun only wore a small vest on his upper body, revealing his well-developed muscles, and he had the demeanor of a bodybuilder. Seeing our group coming back, Zhang Xiaojun took his posture and greeted him.

"Sister Mochizuki, you're back." Zhang Xiaojun said, this is the first time I have heard Zhang Xiaojun call Sister Mochizuki. Kaoru Mochizuki snorted and said, "Go ahead, it's okay." Then he walked straight into the camp.

After some discussion, we agreed to reach the dragon's eye location as soon as possible, and we couldn't delay it here. The whereabouts of Greenbeard and his gang are unknown, but it is certain that once they know that something is wrong, they will definitely turn back to look for us and move as soon as possible, which will also help them avoid Greenbeard's tracking.

It was nearly noon, and the group buried the pot and cooked rice, simply and quickly, and then immediately pulled out the camp and marched west. The mountain road is steep, and it is difficult to find a flat road, so when necessary, you can only open the road first and then go again, and the team is about 30 meters in front and back.

I saw the opportunity, walked up to Kaoru Mochizuki, and called softly, "Sister Mochizuki."

Kaoru Mochizuki turned to look at me, her eyes full of doubt. I laughed and said, "Excuse me, how do you know that Yugui is going to be put in the hands of the Dragon King." ”

Kaoru Mochizuki then turned around and said with a smile: "Actually, I have long noticed the patterns on both sides of Yugui, which seem to be regular, but they are slightly messy, which makes me think of the key to unlock the lock, which means that I think this Yugui itself is a key that can open a special lock." As for how I knew why I put it in the hands of the Dragon King, it was thanks to Sasaki. ”

"Sasaki?"

"Yes, Sasaki. When we first went up to the top of the peak and entered the Dragon King Temple, Sasaki had already said to him privately that the position of the Dragon King's hands was strange, and the average Dragon King statue had something in his hands, but this one was empty-handed, so I should pay more attention. Coupled with the search for the dragon statue later, I figured out that what the dragon king lacked in his hand was Yugui, a specific Yugui. The dragon king has a bracket in his hand, and Yugui puts it in his hand, like a key inserted into a lock hole. ”

Kaoru Mochizuki explained, and I realized why she was able to understand so quickly, it turned out that with Sasaki's assistance, it seemed that the greatest credit was taken by this often silent Japanese.

"And how do you determine the direction of those mountains?" I continued to ask.

"Hehe" Kaoru Mochizuki smiled at first, and then said, "Do you remember the topographic map that was robbed by Greenbeard and them?" I have long been familiar with it, so to speak, I have already walked through Fenglong Mountain from the map, and the two mountains with such an obvious style, of course I will remember. ”

I see, no wonder this tomb seems to be buried by her, and she can find the location by reaching out.

Along the way, we kept correcting the direction, until in the evening, we only crossed two mountains and turned two turns. Looking at this distance, it will be tomorrow afternoon to get there. The light in the mountains was already very dim, and it was very unsafe to hike at night, so we had to stop and rest. The mountains here are extremely strong, and we can't even find a piece of flat land, so we had to camp at a distance, and a campsite was stretched into a long strip, ten meters long, but in this case, it is more difficult to ensure safety, so we determined that each round of four people vigil to strengthen vigilance, whether it is a beast in the mountains and forests, or a greenbeard who may come back at any time, it poses a great threat to us.

The food at night is also extremely simple, after all, after a day's journey, there is no appetite. After the meal, Lao Zhao called me and Kaoru Mochizuki, as well as Song Jin and others, and said, "Now that we are not far from our destination, the specific arrangements for tomorrow, should we be determined now." ”

I didn't expect Lao Zhao to worry about this matter this time, it is said that these should be Mochizuki Kaoru's business, but Lao Zhao's words are reasonable for people with such rich experience, but how things are arranged is not something that can be said clearly in one or two sentences.
