Chapter 401: The Immortal in the Painting
I don't know how long I fell, I just felt that my face was splashed with water, and gradually regained consciousness, I opened my eyes and saw Ah Cai's face covered in black and ash.
I felt a lot of pain in my head, a little muddy, and I held back the pain and asked, "What's wrong?"
"And I saw you fall from the other side. I knew you were poisoned, Zhang Liang is such a powerful military advisor, could he hand over the cemetery to you so easily?"
"How are the two of them?" I asked.
Ah Cai said, "It's okay, they will wake up in a while." But you have to wait for the fragrance to dissipate before you come, or you can dip the cloth in water and come again. β
"Okay!" I struggled to get up and slowly sat down on the bridge.
Wu Shu and Huang Maoqiang also followed, and the three of us saw that the cloth bags in Ah Cai's hands were getting more and more filled.
I asked, "How many things have you found?"
"That's not enough for us to eat for two months. Acai said.
I shook my head helplessly and said: "If this was before, I would never come here to open a tomb, it is the cemetery of the immortals of the previous dynasty, it is too disrespectful to them." β
"Now we have to feed as many people as we used to, and if they were alive, they would have understood our difficulties. Ah Cai was very naΓ―ve.
But I felt that there was more to it than that, and I untied the cloth strap around my waist and tore off the large chunk. After relieving myself, I was about to go down to the bridge to dip in some water, but at this time I found that the reflection in the water was actually full of different scenes.
In the dark water, there are a lot of crowds, if you listen carefully, there seems to be a lot of noisy sounds, as if it is a market, and it seems to be the sunset of the day, or it is deliberately designed by the tomb builder, but where does this illusion come from?
I went down the stone steps by the bridge, and touched the water under the bridge with my hand, and as the current fluctuated, several large faces appeared inside, and those big faces opened their mouths, as if to say something, and as if they were shouting something.
"Boom!" I don't know when something fell from the bridge and fell into the water.
I looked up and saw nothing, and I didn't find anything in the water.
Wu Shu said to me, "Little Guy, what did you find down there?"
"I didn't see anything, but what did you just throw down?" I asked.
Wu Shu said helplessly: "Didn't throw anything?"
"Then why is there a sound in the water, look at the splash!" I said.
But at this moment, a very shameless voice came from my ear: "Stinky boy, go down and pick up your shoes for Lao Tzu." β
I took two steps back, sat down on the steps, and asked, "Did you hear anything?"
Huang Maoqiang and Wu Shu shook their heads separately, indicating that they hadn't heard anything.
Wu Shu said: "Don't be surprised, don't be surprised, take a good rest." β
"No, there is a voice, it seems to be an old man, a very unkind old man. As I spoke, sweat began to permeate from my head.
"Goo-dong!"
There was another splash on the water, and the old man's voice came again: "If you don't pick it up for me, the old man will be angry." β
I'm a little blindsided, I don't know where the shoes he said are, there's nothing on the water, where I'm going to change his shoes.
I suddenly remembered the three shoes that the deaf man had taken away, could it be one of them? I thought about it for a long time, but I had no choice, so I asked, "Old man, your uncle, tell me where your shoes are?"
"Boom!" the water splashed and splashed on my face, and it didn't take long for me to feel a few big bags appear on my face, touch them with my hands, these big bags hurt very much, and after touching them twice, some of the big bags have broken open and blood has come out.
"Little brother, your face!" Huang Maoqiang shouted.
I hurriedly ran up the steps, took off my shoes and threw them into the water, I felt a little nervous, the main thing was that the big bag on my face hurt a lot: "The shoes are for you, wear them yourself!"
"Stinky boy, just such an attitude, see how I clean you up. The old man's voice came again.
I followed the place where the sound came from, and found that the sound was beneath Wu Shu, and I immediately pushed Wu Shu away.
"What are you doing?" Wu Shu asked.
I said, "Didn't you hear the sound right under you?"
When Wu Shu got up, I found that there was a huge hole under him, which should be a stone brick on the stone bridge.
When I found out that the stone bricks were missing, I felt a very unhappy feeling, I only felt a dark wind sweeping behind me, and when I turned around, I saw Ah Cai carrying a stone brick in his hand and slapped it on my face.
I raised my leg and kicked Ah Cai's hand, the stone brick flew into the water, causing a high splash, Ah Cai ran over and took my hand, and picked up his big hand to whip me.
"Acai, what are you doing?" I snorted.
Huang Maoqiang's hand had reached out in front of me, grabbed Ah Cai's wrist tightly, and threw it to his side.
Wu Shu pinched her acupoint with his thumb and kept calling Ah Cai's name.
"Fuck, it hurts to death, ask Ah Cai to get me some medicine to use, she was tricked. I said.
It didn't take long for Ah Cai to come to his senses, patted his head and shouted: "What's the matter? Why didn't he come out to talk when the shoes were still here just now, and now he came out to make trouble." β
We were nervous for a long time, the old man's voice never came again, and we returned to the stone gate again, and the smoke was gone, and I sniffed lightly, and found that there was no strange smell.
Wu Shu blocked his mouth and nose with a strip of cloth and rushed over, and quickly dismantled several of the green bricks, revealing a small space behind the stone door, and when he looked closely, there was a very strange thing inside.
This thing was seen by Ah Cai: "This is a bronze Dan furnace." β
"Dan furnace, don't you see where it looks like a Dan furnace, it doesn't even have a small door, and the shape is still square, are you kidding?" I said.
Ah Cai said with certainty: "Yes, it must be for alchemy, you see his four corners, there are dragon heads, each dragon head can move, after refining the pill, the pill can be spit out from the inside." β
"How do you know so much?" I asked, but when I asked, I regretted it, and I didn't know when I picked up another green brick in my hand and threw it at me through gritted teeth.
This time, Huang Maoqiang didn't have time to stop it, and I couldn't dodge, so I had to use my shoulders to push it up, but I didn't expect my shoulders to be so strong, and the green brick roof was torn apart.
Ah Cai said with a different expression: "This land is mine, and the Dan furnace there is also mine, do you say I know or not?"
"Old man, don't stand up to my friend's body and not come out, if there are any three long and two short, I will fight with you. I shouted, but I always felt a little pain in the bags on my head.
"You people are too unsophisticated, my apprentice left me three shoes and took them all away, so the four of you have to leave three for me to wear. β
When I heard this, I inevitably felt a little strange in my heart, how could this old man say crazy things: "You let us use you as shoes to wear, have you not been a normal person for too long?" β
"Less nonsense, either you put shoes on me, or you leave three people behind. β
"I don't know where you are, what I'll put on your shoes, and besides, can you put my shoes in?" I said.
Wu Shu rushed over and said, "I'll dismantle his Dan furnace later, let's move out." β
"Bastard, wait, I'll come out right away. The old man's voice disappeared, and in an instant, a black shadow popped out from behind the Dan furnace, and he rushed out of the stone door like a crossbow arrow, and sat down in front of me.
I looked intently, and there was a picture of an old man with bare feet.
"It's a picture, how do you want me to put shoes on you?" I asked.
At this time, Ah Cai recovered, and the voice came from the painting: "I don't care, either listen to me, or go out and get my shoes back." β
I was sweating all over my head, and I had been working in this mountain for more than half a month to get such a result. This made me a little suspicious of the daily life of these immortals, did they know about torturing people?
I said, "Wait, I can give you back my shoes, but I have one condition, you have to get my head up and not get on our body again." β
"Well, that's pretty much it. The old man's voice just fell.
I grabbed Wu Shu's hand, bit his fingers with my teeth, drew shoes on the bare feet on the painting, and then said, "This time you have both shoes, plus the one I just threw into the water, exactly three, and the things left by your apprentice are no longer missing." β
For half a day, the old man in the painting didn't speak again, but not long after, I found that the water under the stone bridge turned red, and the alchemy furnace rushed out, broke through the two stone doors, and landed in front of us, spitting out a few pills from the mouths of the four dragons.
Immediately, the painting floated in the air, and the old man spoke: "You are really clever, you know how to use human blood to trap and kill the immortal qi I attached to the drawing paper. β
Wu Shu hugged his hand and said, "Xiao Yan, can you use your own blood next time?"
"I'm already hurt, so you can pay for everyone. "I persuaded Wu Shu.
The old man said, "If you take the elixir, you will walk out of here, otherwise you will be trapped here." β
"I don't believe it, we all dug the road just now. I said.
"Then go back and see. β
Huang Maoqiang ran fast, ran out in an instant, and came back after a while and said: "I really can't get out, all the passages have collapsed, I'm afraid that the deaf man just now blocked our way." β
"Fuck, I really didn't see that guy was going to do this. I scolded.
The old man's voice said: "It wasn't him, I blocked all the roads, if you want to get out, you have to take pills and get out of the soil, don't damage the soil layer here and affect the lives of other creatures." β
"Boom!" a lot of dirt began to fall above the ancient city when we came, and in the blink of an eye, the area outside the stone bridge was completely buried with earth.
