Chapter 500: There's Something in Ding
Twenty minutes later, the bonfire was in full swing, staining the water of the underground river red.
Lao Wang Ba was cleaned up and put on the fire.
In my spare time, the five-clawed golden dragon told Li Di and me what had happened.
It turned out that after it was driven away by the so-called Demon Hunting Sect Master, the more I thought about it, the more I felt worried about us.
So, it secretly turned back again, quietly made a hole in a no-man's land, and got in.
Then, it touched the place where the gray master was holding them.
At that time, our battle with the Demon Hunter Gate had ended, and the Gray Master and several of them had also fallen into a coma.
Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one in the cave, it carried out the gray master.
After settling down with the gray masters, it remembered me and Li Di, and wanted to come in to find the two of us.
Sun Xiao couldn't wait on it, pestering it, and wanted to come down to see it.
The five-clawed golden dragon had no choice but to take him down with him.
But at that time, the hole where we fell had been sealed by the man in black, and the five-clawed golden dragon couldn't find us, so he went around all the way to this place.
Then, it separated from Sun Xiao.
After listening to the five-clawed golden dragon's explanation, my heart finally returned to my stomach.
After so many twists and turns, everyone is still alive, and this is the best result.
Lao Wang Ba is not delicious when roasted.
There is no cooking oil in the cave and no salt.
The taste is very bland, with a muddy smell.
Li Di and I only ate a few bites alone, suppressed the hunger, and stopped.
Seeing that neither of us were eating, the five-clawed golden dragon picked up a king eight leg and took a bite, and then spit it out with a "wow".
This guy used to be hungry with the prince and ate everything, but now that he has entered the world, he has raised his mouth.
"Bah, Bah, Bah......"
It spat a few times and threw the king's leg into the river.
Later, he went down to the river and caught seven or eight kings of the same size, saying that he would take them back to make soup.
Although this thing is not delicious, it is a great tonic after all, and we barely ate those few bites, and the strength immediately came up.
I stood up and glanced into the river.
"How can there be so many turtles here?"
Li Di asked puzzled.
"It should be deliberately raised by the people who built here, the turtle is a mascot, and it is auspicious to raise it here." I replied casually.
The five-clawed golden dragon said disdainfully: "Death is dead, what else can there be auspicious?" I think it's 80% that this thing is abundant in this river. When I was collecting firewood just now, I saw a large hall, and the old grandson might have slipped into it himself, so let's go over and have a look. ”
Hearing this, I asked it, "Have you gone all over here?" How big is it? ”
The five-clawed golden dragon said: "I turned around, it's very big, this place should be naturally formed, the king of Dian probably didn't know how to find this place, so he took local materials, cleaned up, and lived in by himself." ”
Speaking of this, he asked me again: "Boy, do you remember the deserted village we saw when we were in Zhongnan Mountain?" ”
"I remember." I nodded, "Why did you suddenly remember this stubble again?" ”
The five-clawed golden dragon said: "I just glanced at it randomly, and I think this place is somewhat similar to that deserted village, in addition to that palace, there are also some abandoned houses, this place is not like an ancient tomb, more like an ancient city." ”
Gu cheng?
This......
Could it be that the ancient Dian Kingdom disappeared overnight two thousand years ago and all moved to this place?
"Look, it's right ahead." The five-clawed golden dragon pointed in front of me and motioned for me to look that way.
As far as the eye could see, I vaguely saw a group of ancient buildings.
This piqued my interest.
After a wild run, Li Di and the five-clawed golden dragon followed me closely.
The three of us arrived in front of the ancient complex.
These houses are simple plank houses made of wooden planks.
I walked over to one of the houses and reached out and pushed the door open.
What catches your eye is that some simple bronze utensils are quaint and heavy.
"It seems that there are people who have lived here. Strange, why did they run to live underground? Although the space here is large enough, this kind of environment that does not see the light of day is not suitable for human habitation at all. ”
It was Li Di who spoke.
A few of us looked at each other, staring at each other, and neither of us could figure out why.
After that, we continued towards the main hall.
On the road, dry bones can be seen everywhere, horizontally and vertically.
If you compare this place to a village.
There are dead people in the village, how can they discard the corpses at will?
This doesn't make sense.
The current situation is probably due to some sudden incident, which caused all the people in the village to die, and no one collected the corpses, so that the corpses were everywhere.
What terrible things happened to the people here back then......
Without stopping, thinking, we arrived in front of the main hall.
The main hall is high up, and a wide stone staircase leads straight up.
On both sides of the stone steps, there is a bronze column every short distance, the column body is carved with a dragon and a phoenix, and there is a lamp.
It's just that these lights are off.
When these lights were burning, they must have been quite magnificent.
On the top of the steps, in front of the main hall, there is a large open space, and a large ding more than one person high is placed on that open space.
In ancient times, the tripod was regarded as a heavy weapon for the establishment of the country, a symbol of power, and it is not surprising that it was placed in front of the palace.
We didn't care, we just went around and went straight to the temple gate.
"Dang!"
Just as I raised my hand to push the temple door, a crisp and distant sound of metal colliding came from inside the ding.
In this empty and silent environment, the sound is infinitely amplified.
"What's that?"
I reflexively paused, turned my head, and looked at the big ding.
The five-clawed golden dragon reacted the most violently.
When the sound was endless, he jumped to the tripod.
It leaned over, its eyes glazed into brass bells, and looked down at Dingnai.
"Old grandson...... You...... How did you get here? ”
Hearing the sound, Li Di and I rushed to Dading.
I saw the five-clawed golden dragon carrying Sun Xiao in one hand and slipping him out of Dingliti.
Sun Xiao trembled violently, his mouth was open, but he couldn't speak, his chest rose and fell violently, his face was blue, and he looked a little like he was not angry enough, and he seemed to be frightened by something.
"Old Sun, what's wrong with you?"
Li Di and I were taken aback by him at the same time.
"He's sick again, and he's done it once."
The five-clawed golden dragon is quite experienced, and as he spoke, he reached into Sun Xiao's backpack, took out a small medicine bottle from it, poured out a few grains, and stuffed them into Sun Xiao's mouth.
The medicine was quite effective, after taking it for almost five minutes, Sun Xiao exhaled a long breath, and the color on his face looked a little better.
"I said, old grandson, this Ding is better than you. It's three points taller, how did you climb up with your old arms and legs? Can't you stop for a while? If we hadn't heard you knock on the ding, this ding would have become your coffin today. ”
The five-clawed golden dragon seems to be training his grandson, and he gave Sun Xiao a good explanation.
Sun Xiao shook his head vigorously, and when he opened his mouth to say something, he was still a little overwhelmed.
After gasping for two more breaths, he pointed to Da Ding, and said intermittently: "Ding...... Inside...... There is something. ”
