Chapter 21: Self-Picking
The cave was originally big enough, and it was crowded with so many people at once, everyone curled up and fell asleep, the cave was much safer than camping outside, and it rained during the day, and now the mountain road was muddy, and there would not be so many beasts coming out at night, so everyone's nerves were more relaxed.
It didn't take long for me to fall asleep with Wen Min in my arms.
Early the next morning, Zhong Gong and Xiaoyu went outside to check around, saying that the road conditions were not as bad as we imagined, and we could continue to move forward, and then everyone's eyes focused on the dumb man.
We've found Chen's bones, what's next?
At this moment, the mute took out a compass from his equipment bag, facing the sun, and the reticle pointed ahead, as if to guess the direction. I have learned Yang Fang's ability to observe the wind and cut off the water, and look at the tomb, so I can naturally understand the compass. I saw the dumb man holding a compass to calculate, and after a while, he chose a place in the middle of eight points, and began to lead us forward.
I looked towards this position, and I could already see that there was a cliff at the end. The crowd walked along the muddy roads in the mountains, following behind the mute, all like mud bodhisattvas. After walking for more than two hours, the tofu was a little unbearable, and he said, "No, let's take a rest, I'm going to be tired." ”
I looked at Wen Min and said, "Wen Min didn't shout tired, what are you tired, are you tired?" ”
tofu airway; "Can I compare with Gu Da Beauty? They are professionally trained. Besides, why can't men shout tired, aren't they all singing in the song, it's not a sin for men to cry. After that, he looked at the white chicken who was carried forward by Li Fatzi, and said: "How good it is to have a subordinate who will not be tired, if the wood is in the ......" Tofu's voice paused, and his spirit was a little sluggish, I knew that he remembered the matter of the corpse fairy, and his heart was not happy, and he was about to comfort a few words, when suddenly, he heard a rumbling sound suddenly from the mountain, listening to the timbre, it seemed to be a landslide or something.
The sound came very quickly, sounded instantly, and then returned to silence after a moment. Everyone couldn't help but look in the direction where the sound came from, only to see that the yellow mud was bare not far away, and the trees were crooked, which seemed to be caused by a night of heavy rain and cracking of soil and rocks.
At this moment, Wen Min listened attentively and said, "Listen, there seems to be some sound." "I listened carefully, and the birds and insects around me were chirping, and the sound was a miscellaneous, and I really didn't know what she was talking about. Immediately after, Wen Min walked towards the collapse not far away, and Tofu and I had to follow.
As I approached the pile of rubble, I heard a small sound, which seemed to come from the dirt. Wen Min squatted down suddenly, looked under a big rock, and then said, "There's a meerkat hiding here." "Tofu and I squatted down to take a look, and sure enough, under the big rock in between, there was a red-headed meerkat with most of its body buried, and it was struggling to escape from the mud.
This red-headed meerkat was covered in yellow mud all over its fur, and it looked pitiful, and Wen Min immediately reached out and prepared to pull it out. I stopped her and said, "Wait, don't look at this thing, it's small, but it's full of attack power, such a small meerkat can kill a big snake, its teeth are poisonous, be careful to bite you." As he spoke, he took out a corpse hook from his equipment bag, and used the cord head at the front end to lasso the meerkat and pull it out.
The actions of the three of us attracted the rest of the people to come, and Feng Ghost was quite impatient and said, "We are here to fight, not from the Animal Protection Association." ”
At this moment, Tofu snorted and said, "Why does this meerkat still have something in its mouth?" ”
Sure enough, after the red-headed meerkat was pulled out by us, it shook off the yellow mud on its body and ran away, but strangely enough, something spit out of its bulging cheeks. Tofu picked it up and looked at it, and exclaimed, "It's a pearl of the night." ”
Zhen Rui said: "This red-headed meerkat likes to shine, and has the title of 'treasure mongoose', it seems that this pearl is its favorite object, and it does not forget to take it out when the hole collapses." Tofu said, "Then what is it leaving this thing for now?" I only know that the weasel repays the favor, is it possible that this meerkat also knows how to repay the favor and leave this night pearl for us to use as a light bulb? ”
Zhong Gong thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I think, instead of thinking about what reason it left the Night Pearl to us, it is better to think about it, where did it get this Night Pearl?" ”
As soon as he said this, everyone immediately knew that our attention was wrong, and the red-headed meerkat left the night pearl, perhaps because he was frightened and didn't hold it, and he looked at us and looked 'weird', worried about what kind of mongoose monster we were, so he was scared away by the smoke, and the guide zhì pearl fell.
But where did this meerkat get the Night Pearl?
Tofu swallowed the thing directly, and said: "Eighty percent of it got out of the ancient tomb, dumb, do you think this is possible?" ”
The dumb man glanced at the tofu and said coldly; "Sealed, these things can't get in."
At noon, we finally reached the cliff, and it was only then that everyone realized that our previous guesses had been wrong. I saw a big trench in front of us, and when we looked down, we couldn't see the bottom, but we could only see the mist steaming below, and it was estimated that there was an underground waterway below. The ditch was about seven or eight meters wide, and on the other side of the ditch was the cliff we had seen in the distance.
Standing in the closest position to it at this moment, looking up, it is almost impossible to see the top, only to see the vines on the cliff, the vines are blooming with small purple flowers, the breeze blows, the fragrance of flowers floats, and the thin vines sway slightly.
At this moment, as the vines swayed, I suddenly noticed that on the opposite cliff, there was a human-height arched circular opening, which looked man-made.
Could it be that this is the entrance to the tomb of the Giant Ear King?
The opening, a little below us, was easy to get through, and the ropeway could be erected with the Vagina Detection Claw. The dumb man didn't say much, and immediately ordered the cableway to be erected, although our two groups of people did not mention the matter of cooperation, but they also tacitly cooperated with each other, and soon, a ropeway was erected, Lei Zi volunteered, and slid over first, picking up the surrounding vines, revealing the hole, but saw that at the entrance of the cave, there was a stone tablet.
Tofu shouted, "What's written on it?" ”
Ray said, "It knows me, I don't know it, come in and see for yourselves." ”
Our lineup this time is relatively large, a large number of people, me, Tofu, Wen Min, dumb, wind, fire, thunder and lightning and Xiaoyu, plus Zhen Rui, Zhong Gong and two subordinates, and then counting Bai Chop Chicken and Li Fatzi, a total of fifteen people, a mighty and mighty to reach the cave, Rao is this cave is big enough, and it can't accommodate us crowded together, Tofu rushed to the front, staring at the words on the stone tablet.
I saw that the words on this stone tablet were densely packed, and they were all ancient seals.
Tofu frowned and said, "One or two are good to say, so many words, the ghost knows." "At this point, we obviously can't compare with professionals, but people such as Dumb, Zhurui, and Bai Chop Chicken are concentrating on studying the content on the stone tablet.
Tofu and I couldn't read the words on it, so we looked at the structure of the cave. This is an arched cave, the width is about three people in parallel, the whole cave is made of stone through the mountain, it seems simple, but the project is very difficult.
The whole cave was empty, there was nothing, and the rocks were stable, and there were no traces of any mechanism erection. Feng Ghost Hand was more active than us in this regard, although it was daytime, but in order to see more clearly, he turned on the flashlight, carefully observed the surrounding structure, and finally said: "This cave, there is no big problem. ”
Tofu said: "There is no big problem, then there will be a small problem?" ”
Feng Ghost rolled his eyes and ignored it.
Tofu was very depressed and asked himself if he had said the wrong thing, and I said, "He means that this place is useless, but this place is open, and it is inevitable that there will be poisonous insects and ants, and we must be careful." As soon as the words fell, Zhen Rui and the others had obviously finished reading the content on the stele.
On weekdays, Zhen Rui has always been steady and does not show his joy, but this time his expression is a little different, he shook his head slightly, and said: "This is really a big deal." I was surprised when I heard this, and said, "The stone tablet was left by Puzhen?" ”
Zhen Rui nodded and said, "The content on this stone tablet is engraved for tomb robbers to see." It is said that this is the tomb of the gods of the giant eared elephant, the tomb of the gods is different from the tomb of mortals, there are no treasures in the underground palace, and a qiē treasure is piled up outside the underground palace, that is, in this cave where we are located, let us take it ourselves. But there is one condition, that is, you cannot enter the underground palace. The outside is free, come and go safely, there is a spirit in the underground palace, and the trespasser dies! ”
Everyone was surprised, except for Wen Min, we are all professional inverted buckets, and after pouring so many buckets, we have never seen such a tomb as the Giant Ear King, where treasures are piled up outside the tomb and let the tomb robbers take it for themselves, but there is no burial in the tomb.
But after thinking about it, the owner of the tomb of the giant ear king is a legendary god elephant, elephants are different from people, Tofu speculates, the burial goods of this giant eared elephant are eighty percent of a large number of bananas. This cave is not sealed, and eighty percent of the night pearls left by the red-headed meerkat were also made from this place.
