Chapter 46: The Tomb of the Black Demon King
Yang Hao was naturally very careful, although he didn't dare to be careless with a safety rope tied to his waist, he saw that he was using his hands and feet together, moving down little by little, and he also had a flashlight hanging on his body, looking down from the wellhead, he could also see the light pillar of his flashlight. As he moved further down, he had gradually penetrated deeper into the well, and the beam of flashlight on his body became smaller and smaller.
"Kesi, have you arrived?" Heng Qi couldn't help but shout to the well.
"It's not there yet. Yang Hao's voice came faintly from the well.
Fu Ying was naturally worried about Yang Hao, her heart was almost always hanging, and she never let it go.
After Yang Hao went down seven or eight meters, he finally saw the mechanism that Fu Ying's father was talking aboutβit was actually a semi-circular old-fashioned multimeter-shaped thing, embedded in the wall of the well, and an iron rod more than a foot long was exposed, a bit like the thing that was in gear on a car. Yang Hao slowly pulled out the iron rod.
The chain immediately made a shaking sound, and the coffin hanging in the air seemed to move. But the coffin did not come down.
"Brother Yang, pull the mechanism down and let the iron bar stop in the middle!" Fu Ying shouted at the mouth of the well.
Yang Hao replied upwards and continued to pull the iron bar - of course he pulled it very carefully, and it was very slow, almost a second before he pulled it. He did this mainly so that the coffin could descend smoothly, not quickly. If it falls too quickly, it may cause harm to Fu Ying's father's body.
When Fu Ying watched her father's feet step on the ground steadily, she shouted to the well: "Brother Yang, you can stop, come up quickly." β
A few minutes later, Yang Hao returned to the ground.
And Fu Ying was talking to her father about the situation after parting, and the father and daughter were naturally very excited, and they were both surprised to see each other in this ancient tomb.
"Father, this is Brother Yang Hao. Seeing that Yang Hao had returned to the ground, Fu Ying hurriedly introduced Yang Hao to his father.
Fu Ying's father also looked at Yang Hao with an appreciative eye: "Well, yes, he is a brave young man, the Blood Rakshasa is not something that anyone can kill, you can kill the Blood Rakshasa is really admirable to the old man!"
Yang Hao said humbly: "Actually, it was mainly Miss Fu who pointed out the fate of the Blood Rakshasa, otherwise she might not be able to kill it." β
In front of Fu Ying's father, he didn't dare to call Fu Ying "Yingying", but called "Miss Fu".
"It's rare for Friend Yang to be bold and humble. I, Fu Tiansheng, can reunite father and daughter, thanks to the strength of Yang friends and all of you. If the old man can see the light of day again, he will be rewarded heavily. Fu Tiansheng said with a smile.
"Old Mr. Fu, there is no need for reward, as long as you can teach us one or two tomb robbing skills. Huang Ran ran suddenly interjected.
Huang Ranran's words immediately aroused the anger of Heng Qi and Xie Ke: "Trash, if you don't speak, you will die, our reputation is ruined in your hands!"
Just now, when Yang Hao was still climbing up from the well, Fu Ying had already briefed her father on Yang Hao's situation, so that her father roughly understood Yang Hao's identity. That is, I understood what Yang Hao and their "team for dealing with special calamities and bad luck" did.
Although the team dealing with the special calamity is a non-governmental organization, in Fu Tiansheng's opinion, it is similar to a person who eats official food. Because they must obtain official permission and even authorization to carry out various operations, and they are more or less inextricably linked with the government. Therefore, when Fu Tiansheng heard Huang Ranran say this, he didn't know whether what he said was true or not, and he didn't respond positively for a while, but just said "hehe" and smiled: "This friend laughed, what kind of skill is tomb robbing, it's just a trick to steal chickens and dogs......"
"Dad, what kind of tomb did you just say this is, what kind of king is the Black Demon King?" Fu Ying suddenly asked.
Fu Tiansheng was in his fifties, his skin was dark, his eyes were shining, and although his clothes were tattered, he still couldn't hide the kind of sharpness and ability revealed by him. From his appearance, it can be seen that this is indeed a person who is good at digging for dirt and drilling holes, and has been wandering the underground world for many years.
Hearing his daughter ask, his expression became grim, and he stroked his beard, which was tied to his hair, and said, "The Black Demon King is the Black Demon King, and I don't know which dynasty he is from." I guess it should be someone from the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. β
"Then which vassal state is he the king? Is there any record in history?" Heng Qi interjected.
"He is not the king of any vassal state, because he is not under the jurisdiction of the emperor of the Han Dynasty at all, and he is a king who is equal to the emperor!" Fu Tiansheng said.
"How can anyone be so awesome, dare to confront the emperor, and are not afraid that the emperor will destroy him?" Xie Ke said unconvinced.
"The emperor can't destroy him. Fu Tiansheng said quietly.
"Oh, why is that?" asked Heng Qi and Xie Ke together.
"Because it is said that everyone in the Black Demon Country knows how to do witchcraft, this Black Demon King can call for wind and rain, receive thunder and lightning, and turn over rivers and seas, and the emperor's secular soldiers and horses are not his opponents at all!" Fu Tiansheng's expression was not like a joke at all.
"Damn, isn't that a co-worker who is angry and untouchable?" Heng Qi sneered.
"Yes, this is too godly, Mr. Fu is joking with us. Xie Ke also shook his head.
"Maybe the legend of the ancestors is exaggerated, but this Black Demon King does have unusual abilities, which can occupy a position in the era of the powerful Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, it is said that even the Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is afraid of him for three points, and does not dare to invade the Black Demon Kingdom easily. β
Yang Hao said: "Uncle Fu, where is this Black Demon Kingdom now, and how wide is the scope?"
"I only heard that in the mountains at the junction of Guangxi, Guizhou and Yunnan, where is it and how wide the country is, but this old man doesn't know. β
"And where is their kingdom?" asked Heng Qi.
Indeed, this black demon country can not only compete with the imperial court, but also the national strength must be very strong, and the national capital must also be quite famous.
"There is a national capital, but not on the ground, but underground, called the Forgotten City. Fu Tiansheng replied.
"The Forgotten City?" Yang Hao turned his head to look at Charlie, "Charlie, aren't you looking for the 'Lost Key' in order to enter the 'Forgotten Realm'?
Charlie has also been listening to everyone's conversation, but he is a foreigner in the end, although he is a "China expert" and can understand some Chinese, but he still can't understand most of what everyone is saying. However, when Yang Hao mentioned the "forgotten country", he also seemed to remember something, and nodded busily: "Yes, yes, maybe it's the 'forgotten country' we are looking for." β
"Che, is it true to say 'Forgotten Realms'?" Heng Qi opened his mouth wide.
"Old Mr. Fu, whether this Black Demon King and his country really exist or not, it doesn't matter anymore, let's get out of here now. β
Yang Hao said.
Fu Tiansheng shook his head and said, "What I want hasn't arrived yet, so I can't leave yet." β
Yang Hao couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Fu Tiansheng say this, but thinking of what Fu Ying said before, he immediately understood: "Are you for the 'lost key'?"
"Not bad. Fu Tiansheng nodded.
"What the hell is this 'Lost Key', why are you, Mr. Fu, and Charlie's boss so interested in it?" Xie Ke asked.
"It is the key to open the 'Yinshan Old Coffin', and if you open the 'Yinshan Old Coffin', you can enter the underworld. Fu Tiansheng said.
"The old coffin of Yinshan, the underworld, Mr. Fu is really getting more and more mysterious. Heng Qi shook his head and said.
"Mr. Fu, isn't the underworld a world where the dead stay? What are you doing when you enter the underworld? Isn't that looking for death?"
"This friend is right, entering the underworld is indeed looking for death, but after entering the underworld, if you can satisfy the wish of the king of the underworld, it will let you enter the gate of the limit! As for what will be the result after entering the gate of the limit, only God knows and the earth knows. Fu Tiansheng said quietly.
"Since you don't know what will happen when you enter the Gate of Limits, why do you have to go in? I know that you tomb robbers are seeking nothing more than wealth, but what if there is not wealth but death?" asked Heng Qi.
"This friend is right, entering the gate of the limit, there is a good chance that there will be only death, and nothing else. But I'm determined to get it, because there's something I've been longing for for a long time, and it's more important than my life. β
"What is that?" Yang Hao also asked.
"'Treasure of Heaven and Earth'. Fu Tiansheng didn't seem to want Yang Hao and the others to know more inside information, and deliberately said vaguely.
"It seems that Mr. Fu's ideal is very ambitious, and it is also a very troublesome thing for you to realize your ideal, you must first find the 'Lost Key' and put them together, then find the old coffin of Yinshan, and open it, and then enter the underworld, to fulfill the wish of the king of the underworld, and after satisfying its wish, you can enter the gate of the limit. And even if you enter the gate of the limit, whether you can get what you want is still unknown, haha. Heng Qi smiled.
"Yes, I must do this! I will never give up halfway!" Fu Tiansheng said categorically.
"May I ask Mr. Fu, where is the 'Lost Key'?" Charlie suddenly asked.
Fu Tiansheng slowly turned around and looked at the coffin that was still hanging in chains, hanging in the air, and more than a meter above the ground.
"Is the 'Lost Key' in this coffin?" Xie Ke asked.
