Chapter 36 Lamp Oil Seal
The girl in white spoke slowly, according to her words, her name is Liu Xiaoyu, the daughter of Orion in the mountains, when she was young, her mother died early, and she has been dependent on her father since she was a child, and the collapsed wooden house is her home! Although the days were hard, but in the troubled times at the end of the Han Dynasty, it was rare to be able to find a trace of purity in this mountain, but later Cao Wei's army entered the mountain, and drove away many hunters in the mountains without saying anything, Xiaoyu's family did not want to enter the troubled times, relying on his father's many years of experience in the mountains, but luckily escaped the drive of Cao Wei's army! Later, Xiao Yu finally knew the reason why these troops drove them away, they actually wanted to build a city in these mountains!
A spectacular city that Xiaoyu has never seen before, let alone unimaginable!
This city was repaired very quickly, and the number of troops and craftsmen who came, in Xiaoyu's words, it was like a long dragon spreading from outside the mountain, and it didn't stop for several days!
Xiaoyu usually hides in the mountains and looks at the integrity of the city step by step, and on the day the city is completed, the whole city is full of lights, and the dignitaries and dignitaries have come a lot, but the abnormal changes are also on the day of the city!
Some troops still found traces of Xiaoyu's father and daughter, his father was arrested into the city to work as a coolie, and Xiaoyu was arrested into the Qinglou! And Xiaoyu's memory is stuck at this moment!
She only vaguely remembered that she seemed to have tried to escape from the Qinglou several times to find his father's traces, but it seemed that she had failed, and the intermittent memories were like dreams, and she was not sure that she would meet us again until today!
After listening to Xiao Yu's long speech, the amazement in my heart weakened a little, what Xiao Yu said was consistent with our speculation and cognition!
Since the day she was captured in the city, it should have been the time when the leylines were turbulent and the pattern of the Heavenly Wish was laid, and when I thought of this, I couldn't help but marvel at the magic of this Heavenly Wish pattern!
The so-called feng shui, Tibetan wind gathers qi, in the final analysis, it is still difficult to escape the way of yin and yang life and death, the day when the heavenly government is willing to lay, the earth's leylines are turbulent, directly leading to the thirty-six mountains and the underground city to sink into the ground, the terrain changes and the vast feng shui gas, this underground space should have experienced a shocking change in an instant, all things were erased at which moment, and then the majestic earth evil qi, only to give birth to the endless manzhu sand tree!
And life and death are always appropriate, and those things that are extremely yin by nature can survive, and those goats and the dilapidated wooden houses are lucky enough to be dyed with vitality and retain the form when the earth moves, and they can be frozen in an instant!
And this last city is a place where yin and yang converge, and the richness of life is unimaginable, so it not only freezes tens of thousands of lives in the city, but also preserves a form of their lifetime! And Xiaoyu, perhaps the best among them, was able to freeze his body, but also completely saved his life!
The miracle is no longer enough to describe the surprise of this matter, although it is incredible, but all this is exactly the same as our initial speculation, only a little more amazing, and, according to Xiaoyu's words, she should have been awakened several times during this period, which means that there were ancestors who came here long before us, but the tomb collapsed with our arrival this time, that is to say, in addition to the tomb, there are other passages in this underground space! It's just that Xiaoyu is still here, and her memories of the past are also vague, and those ancestors obviously didn't succeed! There are still dangers or tests in this dungeon that we have yet to discover!
Although my vigilance against Xiaoyu is a little weaker, I don't dare to trust it completely, after all, this dungeon is too weird, so I have to look at my grandfather again, he is also full of surprise and hesitation at the moment!
In the waiting eyes of me and the third uncle, my grandfather finally made a decision, looked at Xiaoyu in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "Whether it's true or not, try it again!" ”
Xiaoyu's words coincide with the conjecture in our hearts, and obviously grandpa didn't notice anything wrong, but for the sake of prudence, he still didn't dare to believe it.
"Heavenly Official!"
Grandpa took the bronze mirror with his left hand, but his right hand pressed my shoulder again, the third uncle and Zhu Qingyun couldn't help but look at each other when they saw this, grandpa acted like this and obviously wanted to sacrifice the town character again!
We have already seen the power of the town character, if the town character shot, whether Xiaoyu is a person or a ghost, should be immediately clear, although the town character consumes energy, fortunately, the grandfather has the impermanence of the heart after the spirit is significantly improved, plus now I just want to try its true or false origin, so this time the town character is not as magnificent as in the tomb!
Grandpa took my fingers with a little blood stains on the back of the bronze mirror and slowly drew it, with the blessing of the power of the characters, the bronze mirror emitted a faint ghostly light, and grandpa shone on Xiaoyu again! Under such a battle like ours, Xiao Yu could not hide the fear on his face, and his slightly trembling body didn't know if he was afraid!
The third uncle and I hurriedly looked into the mirror, Xiaoyu's trembling body was clearly visible, and there was nothing else! The third uncle and I glanced at each other and said secretly: Are we really suspicious?
"Daddy! It seems that she is really a miracle! If it could take her out, it would be much more expensive than the mummies in Egypt! Do you think the government has to give us some rewards! ”
Under the town, Xiaoyu is still as usual, and the third uncle's vigilance against her is directly replaced by the so-called reward.
"Money fan, think about how to get out first!"
Grandpa slowly put away the bronze mirror, and the surprise in his eyes also dispersed most of it, leaving only the shock of an ancient person like Xiaoyu!
I just wanted to speak, suddenly there seemed to be a soft sound of clicking, in the dead dungeon, any sound is so harsh, a few of us have been conditioned reflex in an instant to cheer up, looking in the direction of the sound came from, this is only to find that on the other side of this wooden house, there is also a closed wooden door, when we came to the wooden house, our attention was attracted by Xiaoyu, but we didn't notice!
But before we could take a look, another sound of armor rubbing was approaching from the alley, and it seemed that the army was coming to reinforce it!
"Not good! I'm so angry that I can't hide! You have to cut off the popularity first! ”
After some tossing, the breath of the living people of several of us has been easily detected by these living dead who have raised their bodies, if they can't stop the vitality, there is nothing to hide in this huge dungeon! It's just that the breath of a few people has been vented, and it is no longer possible to solve it by keeping silent, the living dead have already raised corpses! Blocking again, how easy is it to say!
The sound of armor grinding in the alleys became more and more urgent, knowing that these searching troops were approaching, but we did not dare to leave the wooden houses easily, the city was full of living dead, once on the streets, the danger was even worse!
At this moment, my heart suddenly moved, and my eyes fell on the two permanent lamps in the wooden house:
"Lamp oil! Kerosene! ”
When Grandpa heard this, he showed a sudden joy, and when he picked up a nearby everlasting lamp, he reached out to dip it in the lamp oil!
The so-called ever-bright lantern, the most common rumor in folk and wild history is that this thing is made of oil from deep-sea mermaids! Not to mention, whether mermaids really exist, even if they exist, in the ancient tombs of the past dynasties, everlasting lamps are extremely common, and how much mermaid grease is needed to create so many everlasting lights!
About the real origin of the lantern, there is also a very detailed record in the country's line, its lamp oil is taken from the sea, but it is not a mermaid, but a rare fish, but as for what kind of fish, there is no detailed record in the book, only to take its fish oil, after a special ancient method of boiling, can burn for a long time, and then add flammable fire phosphorus and other things, put in the tomb, is the lantern!
The air in the tomb is closed, and the ever-bright lamp can be preserved for a long time, and once an outsider enters the twilight, the fresh air circulates, and the flammable things in the lamp oil will spontaneously combust when it encounters the air, which is the ever-bright lamp in front of you! And the ancient tombs with everlasting lanterns excavated in the past dynasties can be traced back to the Song Dynasty! After the end of the Song Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty, it is rare to see the everlasting lamp!
The customs of the Yuan people are different from those of the Central Plains, and the tomb regulations are very different, so it is difficult to see this thing in the tombs of the Yuan Dynasty, and the art of the ever-bright lamp has also been faulted, and the ancient method has been lost!
Grandpa held the oil lamp and touched the temples on both sides of the third uncle, this lamp oil is taken from the deep sea, it is already yin, and it has been sealed in the ground for more than a thousand years. I picked up the other one, first sealed the temples of Zhu Feng's father and daughter, and then walked in front of Xiaoyu, she seemed to be a little scared, and shrank back!
"Don't be afraid! We'll definitely be able to take you out! ”
I squeezed out a hint of the big brother next door's smile, dipped the lamp oil and nodded on Xiaoyu's temples on both sides! I just wanted to seal the breath of the living for myself, but at this moment, the wooden door that was pressed back to its original position by the third uncle was suddenly knocked open, and a soldier with a long knife in his hand had already followed the breath to find us!
He let out a silent roar with his mouth wide open, and his pale face and dark eyes were terrifying!
The wooden door slammed open startled me, and the oil lamp in my hand fell to the ground, and I turned my head to look, but fortunately this was the only one who came! The two of us looked at each other, he directly swung the knife and slashed, I hurriedly dodged to the side, the soldier cut the air, but the blade fell in front of the third uncle!
It all happened so suddenly, and the soldier broke down the door and waved his sword in a few breaths, and I hurriedly shouted:
"Third Uncle be careful!"
In the face of the living dead who were all at hand, the third uncle was not afraid, and took out the axe on his waist and pointed it at this soldier!
And the next moment, this soldier did not dodge strangely, and let my third uncle's axe fall on his arm, but he was unmoved, but turned around and pounced on me again!
"The lamp oil has taken effect!"
The lamp oil seal is angry, this living dead man obviously regards the third uncle at this moment as the same kind, or the same dead person, the third uncle no longer exists in the perception of this living dead! Seeing this, the battle intent in the third uncle's eyes couldn't help but rise a little, and seeing that this soldier was attacking me again, he immediately shouted: "Quickly seal the acupoint!" ”
"Bang bang bang!"
I hurriedly picked up the ever-bright lamp that had been extinguished, and ducked to the side again, and the third uncle had unscrupulously picked up the axe on the soldier's back, the sound of gold and iron clashing sounded, and his armor was also broken, as grandpa also joined the battlefield, the bronze dagger struck, directly cut through the armor, pierced the soldier's back, and with a strong wave, the armor fell to the ground, the soldier stopped in place like a puppet, maintained the posture of raising the knife, and fell down so abruptly! The originally upright body also collapsed rapidly, shrinking in a circle!
The transformation came so quickly, the soldier did not shed half a drop of blood, and stopped moving, I hurriedly sealed my temples, and cautiously approached, the soldier maintained a posture of falling headlong, with the sword of Fang Cai, the armor had already fallen to the ground, and most of the clothes on his body were torn, revealing his same white back!
It's just that the eyes of my grandfather and grandson fell on his back, but they all frowned! His entire back was actually split in two, and a hideous scar stretched from the back of his head to his waist, as if he was about to be skinned!
