Chapter 129: The Tomb Python, Offering Blood as a Sacrifice
Ye Fan guarded Shen Tianyin's side tightly, for fear that something would happen.
"What the hell is that? Why is it so scary? In a few clicks, a large living person was torn to pieces. ”
Recalling the terrifying thing about that beast, Shen Tianyin couldn't help but shudder.
Seeing that he was still frightened, Ye Fan quickly patted his hand, signaling that he didn't need to be afraid, and then slowly spoke: "It should be an ancient wolf." ”
"Ancient wolves? Isn't that a creature that has been extinct for decades? ”
Ji Lao was shocked and looked at Ye Fan puzzled.
Ye Fan nodded: "The ancient wolf is a social creature, bloodthirsty, carnivorous, brutal, very intelligent, extremely cunning, usually has a wolf as the leader, once the prey is found, it will be several, more than a dozen follow-up, attack it in groups, and finally kill the prey, and then because the habitat was destroyed, the number decreased sharply until it perished." ”
In the previous life, there were still ancient wolves, but there were not many of them.
Then with the death of the last few ancient wolves, they were completely extinct, but I didn't expect that in this Thousand Buddha Mountain, traces of ancient wolves could still be found.
"Fortunately, what you encountered this time was not a pack of wolves, only a few lone ones, otherwise, even if we arrived in time, I am afraid we may not be able to save you."
Shen Bao was panicked, still talking in fear.
"Don't worry, aren't we okay now? By the way, what happened when you entered the tomb? Has the owner of the tomb been found? ”
Knowing that Shen Bao had been having palpitations, Shen Tianyin hurriedly changed the topic.
Sure enough, Shen Bao nodded: "I found the main tomb, but we lacked the tools to open the door, so Ye Fan asked us to come out first, rest for the night, and wait until tomorrow morning before we go in." ”
Then, he told Shen Tianyin everything that happened after entering the tomb.
The more he spoke, the more excited Shen Tianyin became, and his pretty face was flushed.
"Great, you can enter the tomb tomorrow."
Looking at Shen Tianyin's excited expression, Ye Fan and Shen Bao both had a satisfied smile in their hearts.
Because of the change, this night, Ye Fan specially sent someone to keep vigil.
There was no change until dawn.
"Where's Village Chief Kong?"
Looking at the few scattered people left, Ye Fan frowned and asked.
Dong Dabiao also frowned at this time: "Kong Weiren and the two Nancun villagers are gone. ”
"Damn."
Ye Fan scolded angrily, in this situation in front of him, even if he was a fool, he knew where they went.
"Brother Ye, let's hurry in, if it's too late......."
Dong Dabiao's face was gloomy, he didn't expect Kong Weiren to play such a hand, which was really hateful.
saw Ye Fan snort coldly, "He is looking for death by himself, why bother to save him?" ”
As he spoke, he asked Shen Bao to arrange for someone to cook.
It wasn't until an hour later, after breakfast, that everyone entered the tomb in an orderly manner.
Qiao Ping always followed Ye Fan's side, with an unconcealable excitement on her face.
As the guardian of this tomb, their family has guarded this tomb for generations.
Until her generation, she no longer knew the specific location of the tomb, but she still held on.
Today, I finally have the honor to enter the tomb in person, how can I hide the excitement in my heart?
"Sister Qiao, yesterday I came in with Lei Lao and found some clues, and found that this is a Liao Dynasty tomb, so you should be a descendant of the Jurchens."
The tomb keepers are all selected from the direct descendants of the tomb owner, and outsiders cannot be selected at all.
Therefore, Qiao Ping must be a descendant of the Liao people.
Qiao Ping nodded: "According to the genealogy, we are indeed descendants of the Liao people, but which one it is, there is no record in the genealogy, perhaps in order to prevent future generations from climbing the prestige of our ancestors." ”
Qiao Ping is very open to this.
Ye Fan smiled and didn't say much, anyway, as long as he opened the door of the main tomb, he would be able to know who the owner of the tomb was, and when the time came, Qiao Ping's identity would be determined.
Because I came yesterday, everything is familiar today, and until the door of the main tomb, there is no trace of Kong Weiren and them.
"Did I guess wrong? Kong Weiren: They are not here? ”
Dong Dabiao frowned and whispered to himself.
But Ye Fan said coldly: "They have been here, look at the footprints here." ”
Pointing to a piece of sand in front of the tomb, six side-by-side footprints appeared on it.
This is a very thin layer that Ye Fan deliberately sprinkled yesterday in order to prevent people from coming in, if you don't look carefully, it is difficult to find.
"But since they are here, why are they nowhere to be found?"
The surrounding tombs were all searched, but they didn't see Kong Weiren and them at all, could it be that they disappeared out of thin air?
Ye Fan had a calm face: "Everyone be careful, in this tomb, I am afraid there is a danger unknown to us." ”
As soon as the words fell, the stone wall on the side suddenly made a crashing sound.
"Back off."
Ye Fan hurriedly commanded, and at the same time, he held the trekking pole tightly in his hand and stared coldly at the stone wall.
"Boom."
The next moment, the stone wall was slammed open, and in an instant, a figure quickly rushed out of it.
"Anaconda? How can there be a python here? ”
I saw that this python was five or six meters long, with three bulges on its belly, and it was extremely fast, and only the arm-length snake hyacinth kept swallowing, emitting a fishy smell.
"Hide in the left chamber."
Seeing the python rushing over quickly, Ye Fan didn't have time to think about it, and pointed to the door of the tomb behind him and shouted loudly.
A few people did not stop, and hurried towards the tomb.
After everyone entered the tomb, Ye Fan and Shen Bao worked together to close the tomb door.
"Boom, boom, boom."
The python kept hitting the tomb door, but fortunately the tomb door was polished with blue striped stone, which was very strong, otherwise, it would have been smashed long ago.
"I didn't expect that there was a tomb protector in this tomb, which was really eye-opening."
Lei Lao said excitedly, without the slightest panic.
At his age, he had already put life and death aside, and if he could fulfill his dream in a limited life, even if he died immediately, he was willing.
"Lei Lao, what is a tomb protector?"
Shen Tianyin asked puzzled.
She didn't know much about the ancient tomb, not to mention that this was still a noble tomb of the Liao Dynasty, and there was even less information handed down.
Lei Lao looked at Ye Fan, "Ye Xiaoyou should know more about this than Lao Yu, let's let Ye Xiaoyou explain." ”
Ye Fan smiled bitterly, knowing in his heart that this old man had probably guessed his identity.
However, as long as he doesn't nod his head for a day, he can only guess.
Looking at Shen Tianyin's enthusiastic gaze, Ye Fan had no choice but to explain.
"The so-called tomb beast is that in ancient times, after the death of some noble people, they cultivated a beast in the tomb, fed it with the flesh and blood of the martyr, so that it gradually grew up, because they ate the flesh and blood of the living, these beasts will grow rapidly, they stay in the tomb, once someone breaks in, they will immediately attack, and then eat the invading person, so as to achieve the role of protecting the tomb owner."
