87, ancient cave coiling dragon
Earlier, we also saw this deep hole in another burial hall. I tried to look down, but the headlamp didn't reach the bottom of the cave because the distance was too short.
However, considering that the slope of this tomb path is steeper and the distance is longer than the other tomb road, this means that it is likely to reach the bottom of the cave from here.
If it weren't for that, I don't think Xiao Wu would dare to go down rashly.
Uncle Mei and Sister Hong and I stood at the end of the line, and we couldn't see the specific situation from afar, but when I saw Xiao Wu hanging up the rope ladder, I climbed down with both hands and feet.
Uncle Mei took out a cigarette in his spare time, smoked it slowly, and waited until this cigarette was smoked only as a cigarette fart, and Xiao Wu didn't seem to have climbed to the end.
Shopkeeper Wang was a little anxious, and asked nervously, "Xiao Wu, what's the next situation?" ”
After a while, Xiao Wu's ethereal voice came up from the hole in the ground: "The pot is almost over!" ”
After another minute or two, I heard a burst of cheers from the onlookers in front of me, and when I heard this sound, I knew that Xiao Wu should have successfully descended.
Sure enough, Xiao Wu's shout soon came: "It's the end!" It's quite spacious down here, the pot is supported, you all come down, there's no danger! ”
Uncle Mei couldn't help but whisper: "It turns out that this hole is not deep, I thought it was a bottomless abyss, it seems that this main tomb, Bacheng is hidden in the cave." ”
"Hmm." I nodded lightly and said, "I should be about to find the main burial chamber, and I don't know if the white-clothed fairy girl is nearby." ”
As soon as the white-clothed fairy girl was mentioned, Uncle Mei immediately tightened a string, the identity of that person was a mystery, and the key was the flying knife kung fu with no false hair, just like Li Xunhuan in martial arts novels, which was really terrifying.
But if we want to avenge Aunt Mei and then find Sister Xiaomei, we must catch this fairy girl.
At this time, I heard the shopkeeper Wang beckoning in front of me: "Go down the rope ladder, don't be afraid, Xiao Wu has explored the road for us, there is no danger, just go down!" ”
Sister Hong turned back to us and said, "Don't be stunned, let's go down too, the main tomb must be below, I'm going to see the big baby!" ”
I nodded, but said in my heart: "What a big baby, I see that in this main burial chamber, there is a big zombie covered in black scales." When the time comes, I will just see the craftsmanship of the corpse chasers in Xiangxi - Mr. Liao vs. the black-scaled zombies, which can make a horror movie, and I have a name in mind. ”
In the blink of an eye, the shopkeeper Wang hung two pairs of rope ladders at the end of the tomb, counting the previous pair of Xiao Wu, a total of three pairs of rope ladders went down together.
The rats rushed to behave in front of the king's shopkeeper, and climbed down one after another, but Uncle Mei and I were not in a hurry to compete with them, and waited until there was no one behind them to calmly go down the rope ladder.
Walking to the edge of the cemetery, we saw the bottom of the cave, the hole is not deep, but it is not shallow, Uncle Mei and I climbed down with all our strength, and it took a cigarette to land.
When I came down the rope ladder, I looked around in a daze, and saw that the cave was indeed much wider than the tomb, and there was no echo at all, and standing here, I could faintly hear the sound of water, and the humidity of the air was quite high.
"I'm afraid there's groundwater here, right?" I asked subconsciously.
Sister Hong said with a smile: "Rongsheng, you are worthy of being a corpse fisher, you think about water wherever you go, the location of this ancient tomb is under the Duck River, and there must be underground water." ”
As he spoke, several rats took out the bright flashlights in their backpacks and placed them on the stone platform as lighting, and as the bright flashlights increased, the scene in the cave became clearer and clearer.
At this time, someone suddenly shouted: "! Look! ”
Immediately after that, the sound of "lying groove" came one after another, endlessly, which made me involuntarily think of an ancient poem - "However, the old man has no culture, and he walks the world in the groove".
I was curious, and hurriedly looked in the direction of everyone's eyes, but at this glance, I couldn't help shouting: "! ”
I saw that in the depths of this cave, there was an endless underground river, and in the center of this underground river, there was a tall and stout ancient giant tree!
This tree is at least twenty meters high, and its branches are thick, and the diameter of the trunk is already more than three meters, and I am afraid that it will take several adults to hug it!
But because of the darkness and lack of sunlight all year round, the old tree had long since died, but its trunk and branches did not rot, but were dyed with a dark and dark color.
As soon as I saw this tall giant tree, I couldn't help but think of the bronze giant tree I had seen in the tomb before, and the giant tree on the sarcophagus relief.
Could it be that the giant tree depicted in those artworks is the one in front of you?
But what really makes us cry out "" is not only this giant tree, if it is just this ancient tree, it is not enough for each of us to exclaim.
What really shocked us was the main trunk of this tree, entrenched in a dragon with its head held high!
The remains of a giant dragon, to be exact!
The skeleton of a giant dragon was tightly wrapped around the old tree, and the huge dragon head was placed on the branches of the giant tree, and the two hollow holes in the eyes stared at us blankly, as if they were examining us as a group of uninvited tomb robbers.
Some of the rats were stunned by the dragon skeleton, and some sat on the ground with weak legs.
Sister Hong was even more stunned and pointed to the skeleton, and said to me in a trembling voice: "Rong Sheng! Look! Look! It's a dragon! ”
Although Uncle Mei and I were also stunned by the scene in front of us, our hearts were a little more calm than others, because we had already seen the same dragon skeleton in the ancient Shu tomb in Tuojiang, and we all knew that it was not a real dragon skeleton, but just a fake cast in bronze.
It's just that at this time, the distance is far away, and everyone can't distinguish the authenticity of the dragon remains.
At this time, the shopkeeper Wang, who had also been to the ancient Shu tomb in Tuojiang, smiled calmly and said loudly: "Don't shout, this dragon is fake!" ”
"What? Fake? Sister Hong couldn't believe it, pointed to the dragon remains on the giant tree and asked, "How can this dragon be fake?" ”
The shopkeeper Wang said with a smile: "This is the dragon skeleton cast in bronze by the ancient Shu people, there was such a body in the Tuojiang tomb before, but the ancient Shu people are really powerful, and they can actually create such a big guy, which makes people have to admire!" ”
Sister Hong, who learned the truth, couldn't hide her frustration, and said in frustration: "It's actually fake, I thought there were really dragons in this world, it's true, I was so excited!" ”
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, the shopkeeper Wang said: "Although this dragon remains are fake, it cannot deny that there are really dragons in this world, Xiaohong, don't be discouraged, maybe one day, you can see the real dragon with your own eyes." ”
"What?" When Sister Hong heard this, she immediately rekindled her hope and asked, "Whoever supports the pot, is there really a dragon in this world?" You're confused about me, is there a dragon or not? ”
