Chapter 33: The Armor of the City Gate
"And the living?"
Hearing this, I couldn't help but be shocked in my heart, even if it was a little unbelievable, but in this dungeon, it seems that any bizarre things seem to be commonplace!
"Let's take a look around, maybe there are any clues!"
Without the backdrop of the sea of flowers on the other side, coupled with the shadow of the tall city, the surroundings became more and more dark, I nodded, and just took a step, Zhu Feng started to go crazy at this time:
"Ghosts! Hell! Hell! ”
He yelled and fled to the side, Zhu Qingyun didn't hold him, it seemed that he really saw something terrifying, and before we could make a move, with a poof, Zhu Feng actually fell directly into the moat! Desperately fluttering, looking like he's drowning!
"Dad!"
Seeing this, Zhu Qingyun was about to jump into the river, my heart sank, I sighed helplessly, and grabbed Zhu Qingyun: "I'll come!" ”
Although I don't know the good luck of this moat, I can't watch Zhu Feng drown in the river right now, the third uncle wanted to stop me, but the outstretched hand finally stopped in front of me, I threw down the rope on my body, pulled a rope and jumped into the moat!
The river water was biting cold, I couldn't help but shiver, turned my head to look, Zhu Feng couldn't hold on and began to sink, I took a deep breath, immediately dived into the water, and swam towards Zhu Feng! Fortunately, the distance between us was not far, and I pulled the rope and wrapped it around him twice, daring to tie a dead knot, but the sight at the bottom of the moat shook my heart!
At the bottom of this river, there are countless skeletons!
As the two of us gradually sank, the dense skeletons became clearer and clearer, full of severed limbs, none of them intact, and there were many iron tools sleeping with them at the bottom of this moat!
"It's a craftsman who repairs the city!"
I guessed the identity of these skeletons in my heart, but the movements in my hands didn't dare to stop, and I pulled the rope hard, and the third uncle and Zhu Qingyun on the shore immediately exerted their strength and pulled Zhu Feng out of the water, and I also hurriedly surfaced and pulled Zhu Feng ashore with the third uncle!
"It's okay!"
I shook the river water on my body, paused in my heart, and didn't say anything about the scene at the bottom of the river, turned my head to look, Zhu Feng was sitting on the ground, his whole body was shaking like a sifting chaff, his whole face was pale, and there was still a trace of horror in his eyes, and he seemed to be a little clear! Xu is the stimulation of the cold river water, Zhu Feng seems to have recovered a little, but not completely, looking ahead in a daze, he didn't run around anymore, just slowly raised his fingers, and muttered:
"Ghosts! Ghost! ”
We looked in the direction of his finger, dozens of meters away, there seemed to be a real figure, he was half-kneeling motionless, indescribably weird! In front of the dark dungeon, if you hadn't looked closely at it at this moment, you wouldn't have noticed it!
"Watch him!"
The third uncle admonished Zhu Qingyun and handed me a look, I immediately held the Luoyang shovel, and walked towards the figure side by side with the third uncle, and the grandfather behind him also slowly followed!
As we got closer, the figure became clearer and clearer, it was a dead man in armor!
He knelt down on one knee on the stone platform, bowed his head slightly, raised his hands in front of him, holding a stone plate, the armor on his body was still as new, a long knife was tied to his waist, and two small flags were inserted behind his back! One red and one white!
"Heralds of the Han Dynasty!? How can it be placed here, even the state of death is so peculiar! This armor is quite new, if you pick it up and bring it back, you will definitely make a fortune! ”
Looking at this armor that looked like a new Han Dynasty, a little joy rose in the eyes of the third uncle, and the grandfather immediately said in a deep voice: "Don't move!" This herald died strangely! ”
Oh, yes! A good soldier, even if he really dies, should be buried in the ground, and if he doesn't help the corpse wilderness, he will end up with the same fate as those craftsmen! How could a corpse that had been dead for more than a thousand years maintain this posture to this day!
Thinking of this, my heart suddenly moved: "Could it be a personal helper?" ”
"Maid!?"
Since Qin Shi Huang set a precedent for the terracotta warriors, it is not uncommon to see the deeds of refining human servants with living people in ancient times, and when the third uncle heard this, he stretched out his hand and raised the head armor of the herald soldier a little, shook his head and said: "It's not a human servant!" It's a dead man! The power of the Heavenly Father's Wish Pattern may really be able to make him stiff for more than a thousand years! It is precisely because of this that this armor can be as new as ever! Pick it up for him, there is still some danger in this city, and it is good to wear it on your body! ”
As the third uncle spoke, he couldn't help but move his hands, and immediately took off the herald's helmet and put it on his head, and then he was about to take off his armor, and the grandfather couldn't help but shout again: "You just can't change the dog to eat, sooner or later you will be planted in the eyes of money!" ”
"Hey, hey! Dad, scold if you scold! Isn't that what we're here for? I don't know what is in this city yet... ”
"Three... Third uncle! ”
I stretched out my hand to interrupt the third uncle, and I couldn't help but take two steps back!
"What?"
"He... He doesn't seem to be dead! ”
"Wh... What? ”
The third uncle was shocked: "Don't you scare me?" This is a dead man! ”
The third uncle has already probed the reality of this herald just now, and he is indeed a dead man! But I also clearly saw the herald's hands holding the stone plate move, and my grandfather also spoke again at this time, and said in a shocked tone: "He... It's really not dead! Don't talk, come down! ”
Grandpa retreated from the stone platform first, and at the same time, the herald opened his eyes, revealing a pair of eyes as black as ink!
"I'm grass! It's really alive! ”
The third uncle scolded angrily, and the two of us retreated together, and the herald was completely alive at this time, just like a normal soldier, he got up instantly, his left hand was still holding the stone plate, but his right hand skillfully pulled out the long knife at his waist, he opened his mouth wide, as if he was roaring, but there was no sound, but the long knife that broke through the air brought a gust of wind!
In a hurry, the third uncle pushed me off the stone platform, and he himself took advantage of the situation to fall to the ground, and a donkey rolled and rolled down the stone platform!
In a hurry, the herald had reached the edge of the stone platform, holding a long knife and letting out a silent roar!
"..."
The third uncle pulled out the axe, and before he could make a move, he was covered by his grandfather from behind! And that Zhu Feng also screamed again with the change of the herald, grandpa turned his head with a look, and Zhu Qingyun hurriedly blocked Zhu Feng's mouth!
When all the voices had subsided, the herald closed his roaring mouth, and even though he was so close, he did not rush down the stone platform, but in our stunned gaze he retreated back to the center of the stone platform, put his long knife into its sheath, raised the stone plate again, and lowered his head, only missing the helmet on his head!
My grandfather and grandson looked at each other, and my grandfather shook his head slowly, let go of the third uncle, and said: Don't make a sound!
When people speak, the leakage of anger is the most obvious, perhaps this herald was infected by the anger of the living people, and only then did he come back to life, or maybe it was some other mystery that we have not yet discovered! But now, with all of us shutting our mouths, the herald has indeed regained its composure!
Behind him, Zhu Feng was still whimpering, grandpa hurriedly came to the front, and pressed a little hard at Zhu Feng's Adam's apple three inches, Zhu Feng stretched his neck hard, looking uncomfortable, but the voice in his mouth disappeared instantly, grandpa didn't care about explaining, touched it on his body, the cinnabar thing had already been lost, and immediately called me to come to the front, and dotted a little blood on my blood-soaked shoulder, and turned into a talisman on Zhu Feng's forehead, a talisman that gathered qi!
People have spirit, Zhu Feng is still energetic, but he broke his mind when he experienced the hanging coffin tomb, so he was sometimes crazy, but fortunately, he got half of the impermanence heart, and recovered a little, with the power of the qi gathering charm, forcibly gathering him to get angry, but it was able to make him calm for a short time, but after this method, he was afraid that he would be even weaker, and his madness would be more serious, but at the moment, there was no way!
Temporarily quelled Zhu Feng's time bomb, Grandpa said softly: "Don't talk again until you have to, if you don't show your anger, this dead body shouldn't be a corpse!" The way to enter the city is on him! ”
"On him?"
Grandpa didn't answer the third uncle's question, just turned his head to look at the city, we followed Grandpa's gaze, under the dim starlight, next to an arrow stack, there was a faint fluorescence, it seemed that he was also a soldier in armor! And behind this soldier, there are also two big flags! One red, one white!
"Grandpa Zheng! So this soldier, is he dead? ”
"Dead! But not completely dead! ”
Grandpa made a silent gesture at Zhu Qingyun, and then stopped speaking, and walked towards the stone platform again, the third uncle and I hurriedly followed, in front of the stone platform, grandpa paused, everything was just his guess, between life and death, nervousness was inevitable!
But in the end, grandpa still stepped on it, and my third uncle and I also followed on the stone platform, and the three of us stood side by side, all of them did not speak, and the herald did not have the slightest movement, and came to him again, grandpa made a look, and motioned for us to look at the stone plate in the herald's hand!
My heart suddenly moved, there is a circular groove in this stone plate, it seems to be to place something, on both sides of the groove, there are two completely different carvings, the left side is boxy, I don't know why, and the side carvings are concise, like a crescent moon, like a beast's teeth, I can't see what it is for a while! But this stone plate must be unusual, because even when the herald raised the corpse, he did not let go of the stone plate, as if it had merged with his palm!
The third uncle looked at this stone plate and shook his head, the circle has an all-encompassing meaning since ancient times, and it is said that the sky is round and the place is round, the groove in this stone plate is round, I don't know what it needs for a while, maybe anything!
"Could it be..."
When I was puzzled, my heart moved, and I took out the bronze compass that my grandfather had passed to me, and this compass was round!
I tried to put the compass in, but at the moment when I was about to let go, I was grabbed by my grandfather, his eyes were a little surprised, he slowly shook his head, and drew a killing word in front of him with his left hand!
I nodded, and took it back with some fear, the compass is set in all directions, it is the instrument of the extreme yang, this dead body that has not rotted for more than a thousand years, if you touch the compass, there must be a shock!
If it's not a compass, what should it be? I was wondering, grandpa seemed to think of something again, his eyes fell on the third uncle's waist, and motioned for him to take out the things in his pocket!
The third uncle was stunned, his face showed a hint of joy, and he immediately took out something from his pocket, and when I saw this, I instantly realized that this thing was not something else, it was - Faqiu Zhonglang General Order!
The third uncle held the Faqiu Order in his hand and slowly put it into the groove, and the next moment, the circular groove transformed, gradually shrinking, turning into a boxy, which was in perfect harmony with the Faqiu Order!
Then, before we could make a move, the herald was dead again!
