Chapter 477: Using the Dragon as a Horse
Two hours later, the plane landed.
As we stood on the streets of Kunming, looking at the completely unfamiliar environment, I suddenly had a feeling that my eyes were black.
"What's next?"
Li Di asked me, and I asked Sun Xiao again.
"Let's go somewhere first."
The old man seemed to have a plan.
As he spoke, he went to the side of the road to find a private car that was working on his stomach, gave the driver an address, and asked him to take us to the village.
After walking for more than two hours, the car stopped by a river.
I thought I was on the ground, but when I looked around, my heart was half cold.
This...... There's not even a thatched hut here!
The whole thing is a wilderness.
I thought I had run into a black car and asked suspiciously, "This is there?" ”
The driver didn't raise his head, but said: "The road ahead is too narrow for the car to enter, so you can go upstream along the river and see the village." ”
After speaking, he stepped on the accelerator, and the car held back a puff of black smoke and ran away.
"Let's go, I know the road here, it's not very far." Sun Xiao looked around, pondered for a while, and walked forward with his legs raised.
We followed him and made our way up the river.
After walking for less than twenty minutes, the river took a sharp turn, and a village appeared in front of it.
The village is not big, with tiled houses and bamboo buildings.
"Not much has changed here!"
Sun Xiao sighed, took us straight to a house, and knocked on the door with a "bang".
This old man, there are acquaintances in such a remote place?
His former colleague?
With a "squeak", the dilapidated wood door opened.
A dark-skinned, middle-aged fat woman came out of the courtyard, looked at us vigilantly, and spoke a few words in dialect that I didn't understand at all.
Sun Xiao also replied with a sigh of relief.
I listened to a rough idea.
It's like saying I'm going to pick up something.
When the fat woman heard this, she suddenly became enthusiastic, dodged away, let go of the door, and invited us into the house.
Sun Xiao said a few polite words, saying that he would be in a hurry after taking the things, so he wouldn't go in to bother.
The fat woman didn't insist anymore, turned around and went into the house.
After a while, she came out with a black cloth bag and handed it to Sun Xiao.
Sun Xiao thanked him again and again, and then said goodbye to the woman.
Not far back, the five-clawed golden dragon's curiosity was overflowing, and he couldn't help but ask Sun Xiao: "Old man, what is in this bag?" ”
Sun Xiao replied: "When I was in the Yunnan archaeological team before, I met a teammate, and he followed the same interests, and they all had some strong interest in the mysterious culture of the ancient Dian Kingdom. After that archaeological trip, I was transferred to Beijing, where he stayed to study the ancient Dian civilization because he was a local. ”
"Over the years, we've been in touch. A year ago, he called me to say that his deadline was approaching, and that he had probably found the location of the tomb of the Dian king. ”
"He mentioned this to his superiors, but the superiors thought that his so-called discovery was nonsense."
"So, he left all the information he had, saying that he would leave it to me, thinking that I was in Beijing and knew many people, and if I met like-minded people, I could give the information to me."
"I was also hospitalized at the time, and I couldn't come to pick up my things, so he left them at his daughter's house."
"It's been a year like this, and I'm here today to come in handy."
After a while, we walked back to the river.
Sun Xiao found a big stone and sat down, opened the bag, and took out three notebooks, two thick and one thin.
I immediately leaned over and picked up one of them.
I thought I would need to go to great lengths to find it, but I didn't expect such a good thing to happen.
It seems that the decision to bring Old Man Sun here is absolutely correct.
Li Di also picked up a copy.
The three of us flipped through a book.
The notes are densely packed and neatly written, and I flipped through a few pages, all of which are ancient Dian culture and historical legends.
"This one! There's a roadmap for this! ”
Li Di suddenly exclaimed, and at the same time had a smile on his face.
I leaned over to take a look, and sure enough, there was a hand-drawn map.
It's just too simple.
It's so simple that there are only a few lines, and a few circles are drawn, and the names of places are remarked.
Li Di and I are completely blind to this place, so naturally we can't understand it.
Sun Xiao took it and looked at it for a while, got up and said, "Let's go, go up the river for thirty miles, and then go into the mountains to find a village." ”
I glanced at Sun Xiao.
I saw that his face was sallow, and beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down his forehead from time to time.
In his state, let alone a thirty-mile mountain road, he is afraid that he will be tired and half dead if he walks down the ten-mile flat avenue......
That's not an option.
I glanced at the five-clawed golden dragon again, and suddenly had an idea.
It is said that people are old and treacherous, and horses are old and slippery, not to mention an ancient divine beast that has lived for thousands of years?
It instantly understood what I meant, and its eyes widened and it wanted to slip away.
How could I let it run?
grabbed it and said, "Human life is at stake, where do you want to run?" ”
The expression on this thing's face can be called instantaneous, revealing a kind of flesh pain, and finally, gritting his teeth, he said: "That's it, Uncle Ben should do good deeds and accumulate virtue, you all come up." ”
As it spoke, it became shorter and changed into its own body.
A golden dragon about 10 meters long and as thick as a cement telephone pole suddenly appeared in front of us.
The next second, I heard a muffled grunt, followed by a pop.
It's Sun Xiao.
After he saw the five-clawed golden dragon body, he sat on the ground with his butt and was dumbfounded.
"Dragon...... Dragon ......"
Rao is Sun Xiao claimed to be well-informed, but he was still stunned for a long time before he reacted.
I hurriedly picked him up and kicked the five-clawed golden dragon.
This guy is really terrible, and he didn't say a word before the change, so he didn't scare the old man out of three long and two short.
But this thing didn't know it, and after being kicked by me, he still didn't care, rolled his eyes and said, "Haven't you seen a dragon?" What's all the fuss about? Hurry up and let Uncle Long carry you......"
Sun Xiao rubbed his eyes for a while, and after confirming that he was not mistaken, he said tremblingly: "This can't be done, it can't be done!" The dragon is a sacred object, how can we desecrate it......"
The five-clawed golden dragon was annoyed by his chatter and interrupted him: "Old man, why are you so verbose? If you don't come up again, Uncle Ben will regret it! ”
I'm really afraid that it will regret it, after all, this thing is similar to a child's body.
Hurriedly persuaded Sun Xiao: "Old Sun, we don't pay so much attention here, and we're still in a hurry, let's go." ”
After speaking, I helped him onto the back of the five-clawed golden dragon and sat down.
Look at him again.
The previous shock had turned into excitement, and it was a little incoherent.
sighed for a while, it turns out that there are really dragons in this world; After a while, he carefully touched the golden scales of the five-clawed golden dragon; After a while, he muttered to himself how virtuous he could actually use the five-clawed golden dragon as a mount......
Finally, he seemed to wake up and said, "In this way, you are not ordinary people. ”
It left me speechless for a while.
