58, dragon swordsman

This scared the hell out of me, and I saw that although the bug was fat, it was soft enough to get in.

I still have a war capital below, in the cave it is really a dead end, the soul is scattered I crawl forward with my hands and feet, because I am familiar with the road before I don't even lift my head, just crawl forward desperately, I don't know how long it took to feel that the head was on the hard thing, and it took a long time to know that the thing in front of me should be a mountain, it's really strange, the next passage to climb into the cave before is straight, there are no obstacles?

Just as I was about to turn around and go back, I suddenly smelled a strange smell of meat in my nose, which seemed to be the aroma of barbecued meat.

The smell was like a rope that dragged me all the way, and finally in the dark area I touched a space similar to the entrance of a cave, although it was still dark in front of me, but I was sure that the fragrance wafted from here, and I was not afraid of this, because animals, especially insects, would not eat barbecue.

Climbed through a bend with difficulty, I finally drilled out of another hole, stood on the ground with both feet and found that the road in front of me was also twisted and turned, I turned four or five times in a row, my eyes suddenly lit up, only to see that in front of me was a huge stone peak similar to the word "mountain", there was an arched stone door on the stone wall facing me, there was a fire in front of the stone door, and a large piece of roasted golden dripping meat was inserted on the wooden fork next to the firewood, and suddenly I was full of fear and turned into an appetite, and I was just about to come forward to eat, Suddenly, an old cough sounded in the quiet space.

I was immediately alert, and saw an old man of seventy or eighty years old coming out of the shadows of the firelight, he was dressed in the clothes of I don't know which dynasty, his hair and beard were whiter than that of a goat, and he walked out with a dry smoke in his mouth, and said to me with his hands tied around the belt of his trousers: "You are a guest from afar, you must be hungry, eat meat." With that, he walked over to the barbecue, tore off a large piece of the barbecue and handed it to me.

This scene suddenly reminded me of the white bone spirit in Journey to the West who turned toads and stones into steamed buns, and such an inexplicable old man appeared in this mountain forest, can this be a normal person? Then he tore a large piece of meat and put it in his mouth and ate it, which completely dispelled my doubts, and immediately opened my mouth to chew on it, and in an instant a large piece of fragrant roast meat entered my stomach.

The old man suddenly remembered something, patted his head and said, "What a sin." I only heard the old man say with a sad face: "The old man's hand that tore your flesh just now was just soaked in urine, which is really a sin." ”

I didn't expect the old man to say such a sentence, and I was stunned for a while and said, "It's okay old man, I still have to thank you, but old man, why are you here?" It's not very peaceful in this mountain road, and there are a lot of bugs in it, you know? ”

The old man smiled and said: "The old man has lived here since he was a child, no matter what spirits and monsters the old man has watched since he was a child, they will kiss the old man and will not hurt the old man." ”

I didn't expect the old man to be the aboriginal of this place, but it was a miracle that someone could live in this kind of place, so the old man took a gourd from behind him and handed it to me, "You taste the cider that the old man made himself." ”

A fresh fragrance of apples came to my nose, and after taking a sip, I only felt that the sweet and sweet greasy used to make the barbecue was the best thing, I drank it again and again, and the old man looked at me with a smile and said: "If you like it, drink more, the old man has nothing else to do with barbecue and cider." ”

I was not polite to hear the old man say this, and drank the cider in the gourd, and the old man smiled: "The old man has no other hobbies, he likes to smoke and drink." ”

I said, "Old man, with your hospitality tonight, I will definitely buy the best cigarettes and wine for you when I go back." ”

The old man laughed twice, and suddenly said, "Let's wait until you can really go back." ”

The tone in which he said this was strange, and it seemed that it was not very friendly, and I immediately became vigilant again, only to see the old man smile and say: "You are also full of food and drink, if you want to go back, I will not keep you, but remind you, do not tell anyone else what you see here, otherwise it will bring you great trouble." ”

After that, he pushed open the simple and peculiar stone door and said: "Follow the road in the cave and keep going forward, there are two holes at the end, remember to take the left-hand side, don't come again after you go back, you may not have such good luck next time." ”

I hurriedly thanked the old man, and then walked into the stone door, the old man immediately pulled the stone door shut, I didn't expect his strength to be so great, pushing and pulling a stone door as easy as a bag to get something, what is the origin of this old man? I can't help but be curious.

There are countless ever-bright lamps in the space behind the stone gate to illuminate this place as if it were day, only to see a stone tablet with a peculiar shape erected in the huge space, the stone tablet is conical, like the thorn head part of a spear, from top to bottom there are about ten meters in height, almost the highest place of the top mountain, only to see the stone tablet engraved with three seal script fonts, although my traditional culture is not too good, but these three words are still known, it is actually the three words of "Zhulong Tablet".

I was secretly surprised, if nothing else, for the word "dragon", because the dragon is the most auspicious ancient divine beast for the Chinese, unless there is something wrong with the brain, no Han person will say that he wants to kill the dragon, and even build a stone monument for this idea, are these two words a fake word, what a different meaning? I couldn't figure it out.

I went around the stele for a long time, only to see the base of the stele engraved with dense gold characters, but some of those words because the font is unfamiliar, some because of the change of stone quality, most of them I don't know or can't see clearly, the limited knowledge of a few words is sorted out: "given, dragon swordsman, dragon tomb, Mobei", although these words are not next to each other, but if you boldly guess that there was once a person named "Dragon Swordsman", with the treasure given by the emperor to find the "Dragon Tomb" located in Mobei? But the dragon is a legendary artifact, and there is a dragon tomb in reality?

After thinking about it for a long time, I finally gave up this question, because there is a high probability that I will recognize the wrong words and understand the wrong meaning, and the stele and the font engraved on it are left by the ancients, and the ancients originally had many superstitious and sacrificial customs, so the stele should just be a story.

Thinking of this, I didn't stop for long, got up and walked along the path in the cave, but the four words "dragon swordsman" made a deep impression on me, what kind of person can deserve this title? Thinking of this, I can't help but make a few gestures with my hands "martial arts moves", in fact, becoming a swordsman is a fantasy that every boy has ever had, just like girls basically have a flower fairy plot.

After walking for a while, the lights gradually became less, and the light was not as bright as before, I held on to the stone wall and walked forward carefully, but after a while, my hands suddenly hung in the air, and the stone wall disappeared, and then the faint candle flame I found that there was a big hole in the stone wall in front of me, and there was a faint green light from the hole, my heart trembled, and I quietly stretched out my head to look at it, only to see that the hole in front of me was actually a dirt road from top to bottom, which is a connected cave, At the entrance of the cave I saw a man in a battle robe pushing a man against the wall of the cave with his back, and he pierced himself and the body of the man behind him with his sword, and took the same way as the other man.

Of course, it was not this way of fighting that shocked me, but the green gem on the forehead of the man in the battle robe, because of the age, the flesh of the two people in the cave had long since decayed, and the two people who fought to the death had long since become two skeletons supported by swords and unable to fall to the ground.

Because the light in the cave was too dim, I took off my coat, lit it with a lantern, threw my clothes into the cave, and then slipped down the dirt slope, and under the light of the fire, everything in the cave was clearly displayed to my eyes, and I was shocked.
