Chapter Ninety-Eight: Memories
It turned out that the snake's scales were dark green and black, and its body was huge, with a large bag bulging out on each side of its head, faintly like two horns.
The three of them are well-informed, so naturally, they thought of the dragon snake.
Lu Su couldn't help but think: There have always been places where there are dragons and snakes, all of which are excellent places for feng shui, and this dragon and snake come from upstream, what kind of treasure land is it above? There is a way that is a mountain and a treasure eye, and a prince in one eye. It is said that the best cave in the mountain, there must be buried with the royal family, and the tomb of the ghost king Yulong to be found this time will be upstream?
At that time, how did they know about the suppression of Jiaolong by the Corpse Raising Bureau, and they couldn't help but speculate one after another, could the dragon referred to by this ghost king encounter dragon species refer to the dragon snake in this place?
It was because of this erroneous guess that the lives of Wei Nanjing and Luo Ren were buried.
The dragon snake was seen by the light, but it didn't react, only saw a few people, and then still drifted with the flow, and soon disappeared. At this time, the water had receded, and the three of them stood at the mouth of the cave by the underground river and watched. After some speculation, it was determined that nine times out of ten the upstream is the destination. At this time, there is no exit, so it is better to find the ancient tomb and take the things, so as to escape from the ancient tomb.
Several of them are experienced veterans and are good at planning, however, after thousands of calculations, they still miscalculate the dragon snake.
After the three of them made up their minds, they cautiously went upstream along the raised stone wall by the underground river. There are very few places to settle on the stone wall, and if you are not careful, you will fall into the monstrous waves below, and there is no possibility of rescue, and the thrill is needless to say.
I don't know how long, when a few people were tired of climbing, almost doubting their judgment, suddenly, on the stone wall opposite the underground river, there were traces of artificiality.
By the light of the flashlight, I saw that on the black and damp stone wall opposite, there were countless huge black iron chains, scattered and hanging on the stone wall in an orderly manner. For a while, they didn't know what the chains were fixed to the stone wall, but it was clear that they were man-made, and since someone had been active here, there must be a way out.
This underground river is deep underground, and who will operate under it? Who else could it be but those who built the tomb?
The three of them were overjoyed, took out the probe claw they were carrying, and pressed the launch mechanism. After aiming, the probe claw launched towards the stone wall on the other side of the underground river, and after several attempts, it finally firmly hooked the iron chain on the opposite side. On the other end of the rope, everyone found a hooked mountain rock to fix it firmly, and a rope bridge was suddenly erected on the huge river.
All three of them were very skilled, grabbed the rope, alternated their hands, staggered, crossed the river one by one, and reached the opposite side safely. When I got closer, I immediately found an irregular hole.
The entrance of the cave is pitch black, and it is very humid due to the steaming of the underground river all the year round, and there is a faint cold wind coming from it, indicating that the space behind the passage is very large. Several people didn't like to talk nonsense, and they glanced at each other, and Wei Guangtou took the lead, Luo Ren was second, and Lu Su was behind, and the three of them rushed in.
The passage was very long, and there was no mechanism inside, so people couldn't figure out the intention for a while, and walked for half an hour before they reached the end, but at the bottom, there was a sealed stone door.
The stone gate made people dumbfounded when they saw it, because it was built so big that it didn't look like it was used for people to walk at all, and it was obviously used to let the giants pass. That's not all, on the stone door, there is also a layer of crimson paint, like cinnabar, which is tinged with a faint yellow, and I don't know what miscellaneous things are mixed with.
On the cinnabar, there is a very strange pattern painted. But it was a figure with a cloak and a red robe, and its body was strangely twisted, as if it was dancing. The person in the painting, when dancing, throws his hands forward, as if shaking the water, and as if he is about to jump out of the stone gate and dig people's hearts and livers, which makes people tremble when they see it.
When I heard Lu Su say this, I had already vaguely guessed some of the next things in my heart.
I thought: Isn't the thing painted on the stone door the one raised by the corpse maintenance bureau? Could it be that Lu Su and the others went down the spring, and they actually went all the way to a deeper place? Behind the stone gate, is it the dragon that has been forcibly suppressed?
Not only me, Tofu and Feng Ghost Hand thought of this, and Tofu asked bluntly.
Lu Su looked tired, sighed, and said, "You are not wrong at all, but it's a pity that we don't have your experience, let alone know in advance, which is a big mistake." ”
At that time, although the three of them felt strange, they didn't know about the corpse raising bureau and Jiaolong, they only thought that they had found the entrance to the ancient tomb, and they were overjoyed.
Just when Lu Su was studying how to open such a huge stone gate, Luo Ren suddenly pointed to the upper left of the gate and said, "You see, there is a hole next to the stone gate, which seems to have been deliberately made by someone, and it is estimated that it leads to the back of the stone gate." As he spoke, he climbed up to check first, but found countless snake scales in the stone cave, and at the end of the stone cave, there was a vast dark space, like the world behind the stone gate.
Luo Ren then beckoned the two to climb up to the entrance of the cave and said: "There are snake scales in this cave, it is estimated that there are snakes behind the stone gate, everyone should be vigilant." ”
These three people are bold and bold, and where would they be afraid of snakes, even if they crawled along the mouth of the cave.
After entering the space behind the stone gate, I couldn't help but be secretly frightened by the light of a flashlight. I saw that in this huge space, there were countless iron chains thick as the thickness of adult thighs, and the iron chains were entangled with each other, as if they were a dense spider web.
Looking along the lines of the spider's web, there is a shocking behemoth tied to the ground in the center.
When Luo Ren saw that thing, he almost bit his tongue and said, "Dragon! Oh, my God! ”
Wei Nanjing shook his head and said, "Impossible, motionless, it looks like a stone statue." ”
Indeed, the thing bound by the iron lock in the center was exactly the same color as the color of the cavern behind the door, and it was motionless, and at first glance, it looked like a huge dragon-shaped stone statue that had been hewn along with the trend, and there was no sign of a living creature at all. In order to figure out what this place was about, several people approached the stone statue, and Luo Ren even kicked it, as if he had kicked a rock, and when he touched it with his hand, it was also cold and hard.
Wei Nanjing said: "This stone statue is lifelike and ingenious, but I don't know what it is for. ”
At this time, several people were in the direction of the dragon's head, and Lu Su stood a little farther away, he was more concerned about these iron chains than the dragon-shaped stone carvings.
In ancient times, it was not easy to make iron, casting so many iron chains, it was not a small project, including materials, casting, transportation, and final fixing, all of which were time-consuming and labor-intensive, what is the significance of doing this? Is it just to decorate, to tie up a statue made of stone?
The more Lu Su thought about it, the more wrong it became, and he turned his head to look at the sleeping stone dragon, and the more he looked at it, the more lifelike he felt, as if he was a living thing. He was uneasy, so he reminded the two of them, saying, "There is something strange here, so it's better to stay away from that thing." As soon as the words fell, his uneasiness was confirmed, and in the empty stone room, he suddenly remembered the sound of ghosts crying, and the sound came from overhead.
Above the head, there was a net of iron chains, which already obstructed people's vision, and in addition, the light was dim, and it was impossible to see what was above it. When a few people heard the sound of the ghost crying, they couldn't help but be shocked, and Lu Su even lifted the ghost crying knife to the side, cheering up 120,000 points of spirit, and lifting the accident at any time.
The light sources of the three of them gathered in one place and shone upwards, and their field of vision suddenly widened a lot, and when they saw the scene above clearly, they only felt their scalp tingle for a while. It turned out that above the head, there were countless figures wriggling, but they were deformed corpses. Some were face down, their eyes rolling, staring straight at the trio. Underneath the corpses was a blackiron fence, so the corpses could not come down.
When I heard this, I already understood. Presumably, at that time, the three of Lu Su should have been under the burial pit, and the reason why those corpses suddenly squirmed was precisely because of the three of us, the red-clothed zongzi who were alarmed at that time.
Things in the world are often such coincidences, when the three of us fell into the burial pit, a group of corpses out of the nest, in order to protect ourselves, had to overthrow the corpse on top of the head.
This corpse raising bureau was originally used to suppress the evil Jiao underneath, and as soon as the corpse was overturned, the corpse raising bureau was destroyed, although nothing happened to me and Tofu, it was bad for Lu Su to be there.
