Chapter 22: Finding the Drought Fish
The young man from the original from the middle of the country was surnamed Lu Mingyu, who was suave and erudite, and had very magical abilities, helping the Elite Kingdom defeat the invaders many times and find a new home.
Speaking of this, Yu Chengshu smiled at me: "I think this young man is very similar to the captain, I just said that he is like ...... in terms of ability The king admired LΓΌ Yu very much, and intended to marry the princess to him, and the princess was also in love with him, and the wedding was approaching, but the savage enemy attracted a large number of terrible monsters, devouring many soldiers, civilians and livestock. Lu Yu stepped forward to protect the people and killed many monsters, but he was outnumbered and taken away by the monsters, and there has been no news since. The princess waited for ten days and did not see him come back, and committed suicide by taking poison, but one day after the princess died, Lu Yu actually survived, and when she saw that the princess was dead, she was overwhelmed with grief and cursed all the people who were still alive. Soon his spell was fulfilled, and the plague broke out, killing the whole nation and spreading to other nations......
After listening to the story, we were all amazed, and we couldn't calm down for a long time. The talented and beautiful woman was supposed to be a pair of enviable and jealous fate, but it turned into a terrible tragedy.
"No, the princess committed suicide by taking poison, Lu Yu has no reason to blame others, why curse others?" I raised my questions.
Lu Qingwen rubbed her somewhat red eyes and said, "He must be grief-stricken and has lost his mind." β
I immediately retorted: "Impossible, since he is erudite and talented, can help the people of the Peerless Kingdom defeat strong enemies, can fight strong enemies alone, and escape from death, it can be seen that he is a cautious, brave and resourceful person, and will never do anything to anger others." Besides, he couldn't harm the princess's relatives and subjects. β
Yu Chengshu said: "This is easy to understand, maybe he cursed a few words in anger, it just happened that the plague happened later, so the people of the Elite Kingdom suspected him." β
Yun Feiyang asked, "Where did Lu Yu go later?" β
Yu Chengshu said: "I don't know, there is no record on the stele. And the stele was almost not finished, and the two stonemasons were already dead. β
I asked, "What kind of monster did that barbarian tribe attract?" β
Yu Chengshu spread his hands: "There is no record, the stone tablet is like writing a history book, concise and concise, only a simple introduction, no detailed description, and some words I don't know the meaning, just a general guess." β
I nodded, before the people of the Elite Kingdom destroyed the country, they also had to engrave this matter on the stone tablet to show future generations, which shows that this matter had a very great impact at that time, and the credibility was very high, and the place we questioned may be caused by Yu Chengshu's translation error.
I had an idea, but before I could say it, Xiaoxue first said in my mind: "That Lu Yu is from the original and knows spells, so he may have a hexagram talisman and know the magic of the hexagram talisman, but at that time, he was full of resentment and easy to go to extremes...... I'm afraid that the drought is what he became! β
"So if we find his whereabouts, we may find the Dryfish!"
You can further speculate that maybe that mysterious and shady evil creature is Lu Yu's enemy, and Lu Yu turned into a drought in order to deal with it, and after becoming a drought fish, the evil thing couldn't fight Lu Yu, knowing that we were here to get rid of the drought fish, so he used a storm whirlwind to send us here, and blew the buried "Hou Jing Peerless Country" out of the ground to provide us with clues. If this guess is correct, then the drought kui turned into by Lu Yu is not far from here!
I said to Yu Chengshu: "Continue to look for other clues, mainly Lu Yu's whereabouts, the princess's grave, and information about the construction of the tomb. β
Yu Chengshu didn't know that my main purpose was to find the dry fish, so he was a little confused, but he didn't ask too much, and immediately went to find a clue.
It seemed that we would need to stay here for a long time, and it would not be possible to leave the Japanese bodies here, so I told the White Snake to spin out a large pit outside the ruins and threw the bodies of the four Japanese into the pit and buried them.
Amy had already notified the rear to come to our aid, but it was impossible to determine the latitude and longitude of our location, and the helicopter on the military base where she was located could not travel so far, so the backup did not arrive so quickly, and it was unknown whether they could find us. Sooner or later, we had to get out of here, and the Japanese buggy that was half-buried in the sand might still work, so I took the White Snake to the buggy and told the White Snake to arch the car out. Asked Liu Ping to come over and clean up and debug it, and sure enough, it could still be started, and there were still a few buckets of cars in Xiaoxue Qiankun's bag, and the seven of us squeezed it, so we didn't have to worry about going back.
I was going to go back to the city with the soil escape technique, take a bath and buy some things back, I didn't take a bath for a few days, and I was covered in dirt, and I was uncomfortable to death, but I didn't expect to return to the ruins, Yu Chengshu found a clue again.
Houjing Jueguo once mobilized nearly a thousand people, it took nearly a month to build a strange facility, and there were strong men from the end of the month, West Night, Gumo and other countries to help build it, and the time of the strong men in each country was different, protracted, and countless bricks, stones and timber were consumed. For a small country with a total population of only a few thousand, this is a project as vast as the Great Wall, but no one knows what the facility is for, and in the end, I don't know what the result will be.
This strange facility is in an oasis eighty miles to the northwest.
I was overjoyed, this facility was most likely the place I was looking for, with a rough direction and distance, as long as there was light snow on the ground, I would definitely be able to find it. Even if it is not exposed to the ground, it can be detected by light snow as long as it is not too deep.
I couldn't wait to leave immediately, but Yu Chengshu refused to leave, wanting to stay here and continue his research. Kenta Abe's group has been wiped out, and even if the Japanese knew about the location, they didn't send someone over so quickly, and it was safe in a short time. And forty or fifty kilometers, there is a car to come back soon, so I decided to let Chen Ping and Yun Feiyang accompany Yu Chengshu here, leave the submachine gun to them, and Lu Qingwen, Gao Feng, and Ai Mei and I drove to the northwest with the radio to explore.
Before leaving, I took out my great-master's compass and looked at it, it should be pointing correctly, and then headed northwest. At this time, it was already evening, and it was very quiet after the big sand fall, there was no wind at all, the clouds were dense, and the cold wind was biting, as if it was going to snow. It was cloudy and dark, and it was dark about half an hour after departure, but fortunately, the sand in this area was relatively solid and flat, and it was okay to open it with your eyes closed.
After more than an hour, I have traveled more than 50 kilometers from the car's odometer, and I don't know if we are going in a different direction, or if the unit of measurement of the people of the Elite Country is different from what we have now. Now I had to try my luck, I ordered to change direction and head due east, Xiaoxue still remotely "remote sensing", detecting something high above the horizon and a special aura.
After about ten minutes of driving, Xiaoxue noticed that the aura in our south was a little different, so we went south instead. I didn't go far, I also sensed a faint fluctuation of yang qi, the fluctuation of yang qi was not large or obvious, but the coverage was extremely large, mighty, like a large lake under the ice is unfathomable.
Lu Qingwen and Gao Feng didn't sense it, so it can be seen that this Yang Qi fluctuation is very weak, but the further the car goes, the more obvious the Yang Qi is, and the two of them also sense it. Then Amy found that the radio station was jammed and there was no signal.
Xiaoxue and I were nervous, and nine out of ten we found the location of the drought!
I had excellent eyesight and night vision, and I saw some log stakes on a high mound dozens of meters away, so I told the rush hour to stop, got out of the car and walked that way.
This mound covers an area of about three or four acres, with a central highest uplift of about six meters, and a gentle slope, which looks like a sealed mound of a large tomb. The mound was covered with fine sand, and in some places exposed round wooden stakes less than half a foot high, about 30 centimeters in diameter.
We pushed away some of the floating sand nearby, revealing more log stakes, the same thickness, orderly arrangement, and the same spacing, and after seeing dozens of stakes, I could already determine that this was a sun tomb, but it was much larger and larger than we had seen before.
These round wooden stakes look "new", that is because they have been dry for a long time, and the marls absorb the masculine aura through them, and the wood fire communicates, and they are bred by the masculine aura, so after one or two thousand years, they are still shiny like jade, with almost no decay and weathering. What's more, Xiaoxue and I can sense a distinct cloud of yang energy deep underneath the mound, and even Amy says it's warmer here than anywhere else, so I'm 100% sure that the Dry Fish is down there!
But why didn't the droughts move? I can sense it, it's super strong, it should be able to sense me, whether it's welcoming or not, it shouldn't be so quiet.
"Dryfish down there?" Lu Qingwen asked me.
"Ninety percent is down there." I was already sure, but I still had a little room to speak.
"Then let's inform my grandfather!" Lu Qingwen was very excited, even more anxious than me.
I shook my head: "Don't rush yet, let's figure out the situation and then report it, if this drought is already under some kind of restriction, or is in a deep sleep, maybe we can handle it ourselves." β
Amy asked, "What is a marble?" β
It's really hard to explain, so I have to say, "It's a very powerful zombie, but it looks like a normal person, and the place where it appears causes a great drought and a great plague." β
"Ah, I think I've heard of it."
Gao Feng said: "Even below, there is no spell to move mountains and seas, I'm afraid I have to ask a few engineering teams to dig for a week to dig underneath." β
Amy said: "It's good that it's buried so deep that the drought can't come out." β
I waved my hand at Amy: "You better drive a little farther and wait where there is a signal, I'll study it first." β
Amy shrugged her shoulders, grimaced and turned to leave, Gao Feng and Lu Qingwen looked at me, not knowing what to do, I took out two shovels and gave them to the two: "Don't be stunned, first clean up all the wooden stakes buried in the sand." β
"Hey, I knew I might as well stay in the ruins to accompany the expert." Gao Feng muttered a little depressedly, but still began to clean up the log stakes buried by the floating sand.
Lu Qingwen also made a move, and said in a low voice: "Be careful, don't wake up the big man below." β
I'm a little funny, this is really like catching lice on the tiger's head, originally I wanted to ask Xiaoxue to make a gust of wind to blow off some of the floating sand, but Lu Qingwen had to give up, who knows if it will really alarm the drought!
As more stakes came out, I noticed something suspicious, some of the stakes were of different heights, unlike the Sun Tomb we had seen before, where the stakes were all the same height.
