107, Ghost King Ding

I saw that the cave is an empty area, and there is a hole in each cave, the structure of the big hole and the small hole, and look down the inner hole, only to see that it is a section of the hole in the middle of the road, the problem is that I choose to go there, thinking of this I hesitated for a long time before finally deciding "male left female right", I still chose the left hand side of the hole.

The rest of the journey was exactly the same as I had speculated, a hole in the terrain of a hole, fortunately there was no fork in this section of the mountain road, so the road was not difficult to identify, but the road was long and narrow and I don't know how long I walked, how many holes I passed, and finally I saw an open area, which was the end of the cave I was walking in, but to my surprise there was a huge triangular tripod at the bottom of this huge space, and the triangular tripod was filled with black and brown dirty water like ink.

The "huge triangular tripod" I am talking about is really huge, this cave is very open, roughly estimated to have an area of at least two to three square kilometers, and this triangular tripod almost occupies the entire space of the cave, the entrance of the cave where I am standing is part of the tripod side, the width of the four sides of the tripod alone is enough for me to lie down and roll on it, who would build such a huge tripod? Could it be the King of Sanling? But what was the purpose of their construction of this object at such a huge expense? I was wondering when I heard a loud bang, and then the man came out of the black water with his wife's head.

I didn't expect him to walk a road with me, but at this time he stood on the other side of the tripod, this huge black tripod is not only wide but also very deep, the vertical drop distance is twenty or thirty meters, so he must not be able to climb up by his own strength, I saw him standing on the side of the tripod shallow place back and forth, the action is mechanical and stiff, at this moment suddenly out of the black water a huge flower stem, just like a python-like tentacle at the top of the mouth like a trumpet, the man hood into the head, I saw that the already thick flower stem was suddenly thickened again, and then the flower stem rose a lot, and then shook from side to side a few times, and the man who was wrapped in it suddenly slid down, just like a python squeezing the prey swallowed into its stomach constantly.

Soon the man slipped into the part of the flower stem that was submerged in the black water, and then the thick flower stem twisted strangely and rhythmically, as if performing a dance, and the inky black water set off layers of "ripples", and then many thick flower stems in the water came out of the water, and then writhed, as if they were performing some kind of evil ritual, looking at this strange situation, I did not dare to linger any longer, turned around and walked out.

Not long after walking back this time, I heard clear footsteps, I was startled and immediately realized that the two Taoist priests had also come down, and sure enough, after a while, I heard someone laugh and say: "Yang Chuan, I know you can see us, don't think about running away anymore, there are no rats here for you to summon to deal with us, let's die honestly." "As I spoke, I could already see the faint light of fire.

In this kind of place, I have no way to retreat, I can only turn around and retreat towards the entrance of the cave where the big ding is, in fact, I know that it is also a dead end, but I can survive for a while, people have the will to survive, so it didn't take long for me to retreat into the huge cave, but when I walked up to the edge of the ding again, I suddenly had a plan in my heart.

It is to take the Dingbian as a foothold, hidden in the hole, when the enemy has not found me when he shows his head a little, he is said not to be pushed down from the Dingzhong, as long as one of them is removed, then there is still some chance of winning alone.

Thinking of this, I lay on the edge of the tripod, close to the entrance of the cave, and at this time, the huge flower stems growing in the tripod disappeared into the water again, and the huge space was quiet without a trace of sound.

After a while, I could clearly hear the "crackling" sound of the torch burning, and even the heavy breathing of the Taoist priest I could hear it clearly, only to feel my heart beating violently, and layers of sweat beads appeared on my palms.

Soon the firelight illuminated the entrance of the cave, and the long figure of the Taoist priest was also imprinted on the edge of the ding, only to hear him muttering to himself: "Damn, where can this kid go?" ”

While speaking, I saw his feet appear at the entrance of the cave, I took advantage of the fact that he had not yet found the entrance of the cave and grabbed his feet and neck and pushed him directly into the dingzhong, the Taoist priest was caught off guard, and sank into the black water with an exclamation.

But soon his head came out of the water, pointing at me and scolding me for being despicable, but there was no place to borrow in the water, the four walls of the Ding side were as smooth as ice, he couldn't come up, and he lost the light of the fire I could see him, but he couldn't see me, and then I saw a thick flower stem quietly emerging behind him, but he didn't know that he was going to be doomed, and he still scolded, and the flower stem was like just devouring zombies from a high down to cover this Taoist priest's head, I saw that the thick flower stem could clearly see the shape of a person sliding towards the lower part quickly, this taste of being swallowed alive can be imagined, and it was the first time in my life to kill someone, although it was not a direct move, but this person also died in my hands, thinking of this I suddenly felt a huge fear, but helpless.

Got rid of him I cautiously walked out of the hole, another Taoist priest was not in this cave, they should have acted separately, according to the same way back, through the Ding's giant ears when I suddenly found that the Ding's ears are very distinctive, so I stood in front of the copper ears and looked carefully.

The information revealed on the ears of the tripod is very interesting, if I am not mistaken, it should be carved with a hideous ghost head, although I am not a person with much culture, but I still know that the tripod is a symbol of power and status in ancient times, only the emperor will have the right to make the tripod with the tripod, so how can there be a ghost pattern on it? This is counterintuitive.

Nine times out of ten, the person who made this tripod is the king of Sanling, do you know what their plans will be? These three people are crazy people, and with normal human thinking, they simply can't capture their way of thinking.

I cautiously retreated, because there was still a Taoist priest, so I didn't get out of danger, and now my plan is to reach the cave before he set off, and then return the same way, because since there is a mechanism to go down, there must be a mechanism to go back.

However, although my movements were fast enough, I was still a beat slower than him, and just as I was halfway back to the mountain road, I heard his voice faintly come from me: "Yuhua, don't venture any further, hurry back." ”。

His tone was full of panic, which made me feel strange, Taoist priests, especially Taoist priests like them who dared to go deep into Wansui Mountain, must really have skills, Taoist courage should be considered great among ordinary people, why would they be scared like this?

I didn't dare to go over, I could only hide in place, and after waiting for a while, he shouted again, and then only heard a "quack" sound, it seems that he finally chose to leave, I quietly walked to the entrance of the cave and sure enough, I saw a torch inserted in the ground, he had already "gone back" through the coffin of the king of Tanglin, but on the wall of the cave he pasted a note, leaned over and saw that it was written: Go back quickly, I will wait for you on it.

It seems that I won't be able to get out for a while.

So I returned to the copper ears of the Ding, looking at the hideous ghost head image and I secretly guessed that the reason why the Ding will be carved with a ghost face may be because the Ding is a special sacrifice to the ghost king, in the eyes of the most noble is the emperor minister, and in the eyes of the ghost is of course the most noble is the ghost king, from this point of view, the possibility of the little ghost building a ghost king for the ghost king exists, that is to say, if the secret hidden by the three major tomb kings is likely to be related to this, maybe this was once a place to worship the ghost king, That's why they will go to great lengths to bury their coffins here, the three great tomb kings don't look like normal people from any point of view, and those who can have such superhuman abilities must not be ordinary people, is this a ghost king Ding?

There is a clear record of the ghost king tripod in the "Book of Wind", but it is not said that it will be so huge, only that the dynasty before the Chinese nation has not entered the imperial era does have the custom of making ghost king tripods, because in ancient times, the mythological system of China has not yet been built, in the consciousness of the emperor of the dynasty, it is the god king who controls the sky, the king who controls the world, and the ghost king who controls the underground.
