Chapter 308: Dawan Envoy
After entering the demon cave, Ying Zheng walked forward along the cave, and the air inside was even drier.
Although he has broken through his barrier limitations, he can't control his body better than Ji Fa and Li Si, but he can still do it by opening his subconscious mind and making his five senses stronger than usual.
Ying Zheng condensed his mind, opened his subconscious, and slowly, his senses of sight, hearing, and smell were strengthened.
He took the Xuanyuan sword from his back, took off the cotton cloth wrapped around it, and hung the Xuanyuan sword around his waist.
I don't know if it was because of the air or what, but the torches were darker than when they were outside, and they shook from time to time.
Ying Zheng carefully observed the road ahead, not daring to be careless.
I don't know how far I walked, but the front opened up and the air was a little fresher.
It appears to be a cave-like cave with a large space.
Ying Zheng walked along the mountain wall and found an exit.
This should be the other end of the thumb's mouth.
Out of this hole, there is an open-air passage in front of it, and irregular stones are lined up in rows, as if they were artificially constructed steps.
"The Sword Comes"
But of course, this is not repaired by anyone, if it is built by man, it will be much more neat than this.
Every time Yingzheng walked a section, he marked it with Yangu lacquer, and walked up for a while, and a narrow hole appeared in front of him.
Entering the cave, Yingzheng finds that it seems to be a labyrinth, so he makes a mark every few steps and continues to explore.
Because of his experience in exploring the Tomb of King Wu, Ying Zheng took out the Xuantie Snail to guide the direction.
This labyrinthine cave really doesn't look like it's naturally formed, but it doesn't look like it was dug by a man, so much so that it really looks like something strange was dug out.
Yu's cave is similar to this one.
Although it is like a labyrinth, after all, the overall area is so large, and soon Ying Zheng figured out the number of roads and found the real exit.
And this exit is connected to a space similar to a pipe.
Strangely, the inside of this pipe is not so dim, and Ying Zheng can see the surrounding environment clearly even after extinguishing the torch.
I didn't go far, I came out of the mouth of the pipe, and came to a wilderness, where the ground in the middle was high and the ground on both sides was low, as if walking on a bridge.
Ying Zheng did not rush forward to explore, but walked to the side and looked into the ravine.
At this glance, I was suddenly taken aback.
Inside the ravine, there were some broken bones scattered and scattered, I don't know if they were birds and beasts, or missing spirits.
Driven by curiosity, Ying Zheng walked down the slope and crouched next to a few bones to check.
This bone is a little dirty, it looks like it's been some years old, but it doesn't look like animal bones, but it looks like human bones.
If it is human bones, then how did these people die?
And if you are trapped here because you get lost, then the body should also be left in that labyrinth, why is it here?
What's more, no matter what the cause of death is, a person's bones should be intact after death, why is it so scattered here, one there?
These questions all point to the same possibility, that is, Yingzheng's previous speculation.
Looking up at the ravine on the other side, Ying Zheng quickly climbed up and jumped into the other side.
As expected, there are some bones stored here, but they don't look like human bones, but more like the bones of beasts in the mountains.
He was looking at the skeleton in his hand, but he heard a noise coming from the hole at the end.
If it were an ordinary person's hearing, he might not be able to hear this sound at all, but Ying Zheng's hearing has improved after all.
Without having time to think about it, Ying Zheng climbed the slope and cautiously walked towards the deep hole.
In order to strengthen his courage, Ying Zheng re-lit the torch and held the Xuanyuan Sword tightly with his other hand.
But just when he was approaching the entrance of the cave, he felt a gust of yin wind coming, and a huge black shadow suddenly jumped out of it and rushed straight to Yingzheng.
Because he had been mentally prepared, Ying Zheng quickly turned around and dodged, protecting his body with the Xuanyuan Sword with his left hand, and smashing the black shadow with a torch with his right hand.
Perhaps afraid of being injured by the fire, the black shadow flashed its head, took a step back, and pounced again.
"Wait." Ying Zheng let out a loud shout, took a few steps back, and pulled out the Xuanyuan sword.
The shadow froze in place.
Ying Zheng looked at it at this time, and couldn't help but feel nervous, it was really a strange beast.
I saw that its body was slightly larger than that of a cow, and its head was quite large, but only two nostrils could be seen, and the fangs on its mouth were very sharp, and saliva was dripping on it.
Because it has no eyes, this face looks extraordinarily discreet.
Its limbs are not too thick, but they all have sharp claws, and its belly is shriveled, and its body is covered with a layer of long black hair, like ink-coated wool.
And under his left and right armpits, there is an eye, looking at Yingzheng viciously.
No wonder it doesn't have eyes on its head, it grew here.
According to the description of the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", Ying Zheng already knew the name of the strange beast in front of him.
"The predecessors are gluttonous." Ying Zheng relaxed a little and said, "I know you can understand what I say. ”
The gluttony on the opposite side was obviously stunned, and after a long time, he really made a voice: "Do you know the deity?" It seems that it is not an ordinary person. ”
Seeing that the gluttony responded, Ying Zheng also put away his defensive posture, and bowed his hand and said: "I am Ying Zheng, the successor of the Heavenly Inheritor, who has just succeeded, and I guess my predecessors have heard about it." ”
Tao Tao shook his head: "Heavenly Inheritor, of course the deity knows, but this place is far away from that Huaxia, and few Heavenly Inheritors come here, and the deity is only responsible for guarding the fire eye here from outsiders." ”
It's normal that it doesn't know about Yingzheng's succession, and it must be that the alien beasts guarding the fire eye don't want to communicate with each other, let alone so far away.
Ying Zheng smiled, put down the torch, pulled the Xuanyuan sword out of the sheath, handed it in front of the gluttonous with both hands, and said: "This is the Xuanyuan Sword, the token of the Heavenly Inheritor, please take a look at it." ”
Tao Tao looked at it with his armpit eyes, and said coldly: "I heard that the Xuanyuan Sword was made by the Yellow Emperor before you, and after him, no Heavenly Inheritor has ever been here, how can the deity distinguish the authenticity from the false?" ”
Ying Zheng was not in a hurry, and took out the black iron snail he had just used from his arms, and said: "Then this black iron snail, the predecessors should know it." ”
The moment he saw the conch, his gluttonous eyes changed: "Hehe, it's really a conch, it seems that the deity has no mouth today." ”
Ying Zheng saw that the gluttony recognized his identity, and then he really put his mind at ease: "I heard that there is a strange cave here, which is near the fire eye, so I turned around to take a look, and it turned out that it was really the seniors guarding here." ”
"The Elite Man asked you to come, right?" Gluttony asked.
Ying Zheng nodded: "I need their help to make the secret stone, so I have to ensure the safety of their ghost hands." ”
"The deity knows about the creation of the secret stone." Tao Tao said, "You are here, it has been thousands of years, and you still can't make dense stones, so you have to ask for help from others." ”
The one-sentence Yingzheng can't refute it.
People don't want to teach, and Huaxia can't force it.
"Gluttonous senior, the reason why I came to survey here this time is because I want to build a royal tomb here."
Then, Ying Zheng briefly said that the Jingjue was going to move the family to Huaxia, and this royal tomb was naturally the idea of Jingjue staying here.
After listening to Yingzheng's story, Tao Tao said with some regret: "Are you leaving? It's a pity, yes
It's the absence of trespassers, but there is a lot less deliciousness. ”
Ying Zheng: "......"
"Well, it's okay to build a mausoleum here." Gluttony paused and said, "Since there is no one to eat in the future, then we have to bring some livestock to replace it." ”
Ying Zheng peeked at the bones in the ravines on both sides, and then said: "It is natural to offer some meat to the seniors, I don't know how much the seniors need?" ”
"Ten thousand sheep." Gluttony didn't even think about it, and said directly.
It's really a lion's big mouth, more than Dawan wants it.
"Uh, sam." Ying Zheng said, "This is really too much, besides, if you send so many sheep over at one time, won't you all starve to death." ”
Tao Tao nodded slightly and said, "This is also the case, so what do you want to do?" ”
Ying Zheng thought for a moment and said: "It's better to be like this, during the period of building the royal tomb, the widow asked the elite to send a sheep every day until the construction of the royal tomb is completed, how about it?" ”
At the mention of the fat sheep, the gluttony sucked his saliva, thought for a while, and said: "This is a good idea, the deity can enjoy the fat sheep every day, and you don't have to hunt it yourself. ”
"Exactly." Ying Zheng said, "During this period, the widow will ensure that there will be no interruption. ”
The reason why Yingzheng decided this way is that firstly, he can get along better with gluttony, so that he will not be embarrassed, and secondly, he is also for the sake of refinement.
Because if you migrate in the future, such a long distance, people are still tired, let alone sheep, tired and thin is second, it is inevitable to lose a certain amount, and it is inevitable to drive sheep to go fast, and there is a possibility of being targeted by robbers, after all, this road is not very peaceful.
Therefore, the best choice is to deal with the adult fat sheep as much as possible, and only bring some lambs on the road, as for the loss, when he arrives in the Qin State, he will be extremely supplied.
This method not only solves the exquisite migration problem, but also satisfies the gluttony, which is really a double win.
"But." He was happily gluttonous and suddenly turned to ask, "You are the king of Huaxia, but can you be the master of the essence?" ”
"Of course." Ying Zheng said with certainty, "These sheep, the widow will compensate them." ”
"Haha, that's good, good." Gluttony smiled.
Ying Zheng also laughed with him, and then seemed to think of something, and asked: "Senior, is the fire eye here very important, as far as I know, there are thousands of fire eyes, and only the particularly important fire eye will be guarded by divine beasts." ”
"Since you know this, then naturally the fire eye here is very important." Tao Tao said, "Let me tell you, the fire eye here is connected to the one in the desert, known as the yin and yang eyes, and it was almost ruled by your ancestors many years ago, but it's a pity that ......"
"What a pity?" Ying Zheng asked.
"It's a pity that after the full governance is completed, this will become a place of transformation for the destructive force." Tao Tao sighed lightly, "Then the task of the deity will be completed." ”
Ying Zheng already knew about this, he smiled and said, "Don't hide it, I am the last person to complete the governance of the natural source force." ”
Tao Tao was not surprised: "Well, when you tell your identity, the deity guessed it, the time is really fast, after you complete your task, the deity will be able to return to the Nine Shadows, hahaha." ”
Ying Zheng's eyes rolled and asked, "Dare to ask the seniors, is there any way to prevent this place from suffering disasters?" ”
Tao Tao stopped laughing, shook his head, and said: "That natural source power was created by your ancestor Pangu, and even you have no better way, let alone the deity, even the dragon clan has nothing to do." ”
"Which senior repaired this place before?" Ying Zheng then asked.
"It's been a long time, the deity remembers, the man called himself ......," said the glutton, "the Black Emperor." ”
