Chapter 116: Yao Ji shows the way
It's a long road, and you can't see the end at all. The walls and floors are paved with stones, and a lotus wall lamp sticks out of the wall every five meters, and the flame burns faintly, finally no longer the color of ghosts, giving people a sense of peace of mind.
"......" rested for half an hour before Jiang Xian stood up again. He cursed. Slammed into the wall with a muffled thud.
The peace of mind of being out of danger did not make him happy. Even if they have unearthed enough treasures, they have even discovered the truth of Emperor Wu of Han's search for immortals. But he still didn't see what he wanted!
He reached into his black hair and rubbed it, closed his eyes to calm himself, and took several deep breaths before he opened them. Carrying Lin Ruoxue on his back, he continued to walk forward - now was not the time to think about these issues. Lin Ruoxue needed to be healed, and it was impossible for him to continue exploring. And......
In his danger rating, this dungeon is more threatening than the First Emperor's dungeon!
The mechanism in the dungeon is not the most terrifying, and the six Xuanzi are already considered the top grandmasters of the mechanism, but they still haven't stopped them. After all, all organs must rely on geographical advantages, and there are traces to follow.
Truly terrifying...... It's those untold secrets, strange tomb beasts - such as the ancient scorpion tail scythe and the tooth fairy.
Once this kind of thing appears, the danger level of this dungeon is top-notch. It is impossible for the two of them alone to break through!
Song Yunshen ...... You're going to bleed profusely this time......" He licked his dry lips and leaned against the wall to the end.
The passage was not too long, and only the sound of Jiang Xian's difficult steps could be heard. Quiet and lonely. I don't know how long I walked, maybe ten minutes, maybe half an hour, and the front finally opened up.
It was a hall.
Entirely made of white marble, in the center, a three-meter-tall sculpture of a girl stands. Tie her hair in a bun and wear a silk robe. The eyes seem to be open and closed. Lotus flowers, water waves, and dragons form a round of head light behind her. And at her feet, there are layers of candlesticks, the shape is very exquisite, but thousands of years have passed, and they have been covered with patina.
It is a bird-shaped candlestick, undulating like a wave, but it creates a kind of beauty of drops. On the candlesticks, snow-white candles burn slowly. It seems to pour out the vicissitudes of life, and the years are quiet.
Yao Ji ...... Jiang Xian's eyes lit up, and he forcibly endured the sudden swelling pain in his temples, and put Lin Ruoxue on the ground. Even this slight movement made his bones rattle. He knew very well that his physical strength would also be approaching the limit.
He didn't want to do these superfluous actions if he could. Because just behind the sculpture there is a gate carved with the undulations of the mountains, and a man wearing the crown of the emperor stands on the top of the mountains. Opposite him, there was a sea of fog, and in the sea of fog, a tall figure loomed. Next to the door, there is also a chute handle.
The dust on the handles was noticeably thinner than elsewhere - this is where Exploration Team 003 left in the first place. He slapped his cheek hard and looked away from the seductive door to see the statue of Yao Ji.
This sculpture is different from the Yao Ji he has seen!
Most of the images of Yao Ji that appear in the underground palace of the Han Dynasty are lotus flowers in one hand and lotus leaves in the other. But this one is not, this sculpture ...... Sitting cross-legged on the lotus flower, his hands interlocked in the dantian, as if meditating. The treasure is solemn.
"A culture, an impression, is a ...... with continuity" his hand gently stroked the Yaoji sculpture and murmured: "All the Yaoji in front of him are stepping on dragons and holding lotus flowers, which shows that this is the established impression in the mind of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty." When I arrived here, I suddenly changed and took on the divinity of religion...... There must be other reasons. ”
After rubbing for a long time, he didn't find anything, so he simply pushed down the candlesticks around him and climbed up with all his last strength.
Just halfway up the crawl, his eyes suddenly flashed. I saw it amazingly...... In the hand of the sculpture, he was holding a piece of jade!
A piece of jade that is almost transparent!
He grabbed this piece of jade, stuffed it into his arms without even looking at it, jumped down, picked up Lin Ruoxue again, walked to the gate behind him, and pulled down the handle.
Thundered...... There was a sound of stones moving, accompanied by a noisy sound of machinery. Sunlight appeared behind the gate.
The warm feeling quickly dissipated the last trace of strength in his body. The next second, the world was spinning, and he only remembered that before he fainted, he seemed to have detached the flare gun.
……………………………
Jiang Xian had a dream.
He dreamed that he was back home, lying on a soft bed. As long as you want to eat, something immediately appears in the void. You don't even need to move yourself. It was in this extreme comfort that he heard the voice of a man calling out to him.
Jiang Xian...... Jiang Xian......"
The sound is familiar...... Familiar as a mourning, he couldn't eat steadily, and in anger, he raised his hand without hesitation and slapped him. Then, a clear "pop" sound was heard.
The boundary between dream and reality shattered in an instant, and he slowly opened his eyes, only to feel that his eyelids were extremely heavy. There seemed to be a person sitting at the head of the bed, seeing that the figure was Ling Xiaozi who had killed a thousand knives, the other party covered his face and muttered, "What...... Do you still sleep with passive counterattacks...... Something is wrong with you, man......"
I wanted to give him a middle finger, but the dizziness in his mind hit him like a tidal wave, and he quickly fell asleep again.
I don't know how long this sleep lasts, as if it has been sleeping for a century. When he opened his eyes again, there were already four people standing at the head of the bed.
Song Yunshen, Ling Xiaozi, Dong Xinjiu, Lin Fangruo...... All four looked at him worriedly, and only then did he breathe a sigh of relief until his eyes were fully open.
"How does it feel?" Dong Xinjiu was the first to ask.
Jiang Xian didn't answer, although he opened his eyes, his soul seemed to be light years away. It was a few minutes before his pupils were focused. As soon as he said a word, he only felt that his throat was unusually hoarse, so he could only nod slightly.
"You have a good rest." Lin Fangruo held his hand and nodded: "If you need anything, press the bedside button." I'll talk about it when it's restored. ”
Jiang Xian blinked and closed his eyes again tiredly.
Dong Xinjiu retracted his gaze and glanced at Song Yunshen, and the three of them immediately walked out. No one said anything until they entered a conference room.
"Trouble both." Song Yunshen took a sip of the teacup and leaned back in the chair a little weakly. No one expected that it was just an ordinary dwarf spirit sacrifice, and several people disappeared out of thin air!
He searched almost the entire duck col but couldn't find it, and he broke out in a cold sweat at that time. If something happened to Jiang Xian, it would be enough to make him feel distressed for several years. What's more...... The eldest princess of Chaohaitang is also in it! It's still my own approval! If something really happens, even if it's him, he will definitely not be pleased!
He immediately contacted Dong Xinjiu and Lin Fangruo, and the other party immediately rushed over. When they saw the flares go up, everyone was relieved. However, when he saw the two of them with blurred flesh and blood, his heart never let go, and it was not until now that he finally calmed down.
Dong Xinjiu shook his head: "Don't blame Mr. Song, it's the little girl's own choice." ”
Before the words fell, he gritted his teeth and said: "If you want to blame, you have to blame the little bastard surnamed Jiang!" Have the ability to take people out, but don't have the ability to bring people back! Shame on you! ”
What? Too dangerous underneath?
If you don't listen, you don't listen, you don't listen! You're incompetent anyway!
Arch my cabbage and dare not put it in my eyes? Sooner or later, hang up and fight!
Lin Fangruo held the teacup and gently stroked the lid of the cup: "It's good to come back safely...... However, what I care about are the two things that the little bastard brought back. ”
"A piece of bark, a piece of jade...... The contents of the bark are appalling and priceless in the archaeological world. And most importantly......"
He raised his eyebrows and said, "I've heard of this kind of thing before." ”
"Soft as human skin, extremely tough, water and fire do not invade...... And it does not rot for thousands of years. He pursed his lips and looked at Dong Xinjiu solemnly: "Old Dong, if I'm not mistaken, this is ......"
Dong Xinjiu's small eyes shone with a hint of essence. Gently put down the teacup and muttered for a long time before he said from between his teeth: "Gu Yao flower." ”
"Gu Yaohua?" Song Yunshen frowned.
Dong Xinjiu said slowly: "Legend has it that Yao Ji, the daughter of the Red Emperor, died before she was a minor. Buried in Wushan, the soul is attached to a flower and plant. This flower and plant is called Guyao flower. It is rumored that this flower has the spirit of Yao Ji entered, and the flower grew into a wood, and the leaf crown was towering. Its leaves are as soft as human skin, extremely tough, invasive by water and fire, and do not rot for thousands of years, and even have a little fragrance. ”
"I've smelled it, and there's a hint of fragrance on that bark. After comparison, the fragrance is completely different from that of any plant in the world. He paused, squinting at the crowd: "You say...... In this world, will there really be Gu Yao flowers? Is there really Yao Ji Yunzhongjun? ”
No one spoke.
Lin Fangruo pondered for a few seconds, flipped his fingers, and the jade pendant brought out by Jiang Xian appeared in his hand, and he gently placed it on the table. He said in a deep voice: "Also, have you noticed, this jade pendant...... Just half. ”
On this half, there is a traditional character "雲" engraved.
"Yunzhongjun?" Song Yunshen asked tentatively.
"It's okay if it's Yun Zhongjun...... Lin Fangruo sneered and took a deep breath: "What I'm afraid of is that what is written on this is ......"
"Cloud, Dream, Ze!"
Yun Mengze!
Even if Song Yunshen doesn't know too much about history, he knows too well the meaning of the word Yun Mengze.
The birthplace of ancient mythology, the land of the gods! The status is equivalent to Mount Olympus in Greece! The ancient myths of the entire Huaguo can even be said to be inseparable from this place! And its owner...... It's the king of the clouds!
"You mean...... This...... Is it a signal to Yunmengze?! ”
"It's not a signal, it's a map." Lin Fangruo picked up the jade pendant and shone it at the light, and suddenly, half of the clear map was instantly projected onto the desktop!
"It's a pity...... Only half! ”
