Chapter 23: The Black Stick
Jin Yan's sudden exclamation startled Wang Hai on the dry well. He hurriedly rushed down and shouted, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, are you all right!" ”
At this time, Jin Yan was startled, and quickly calmed down. The light of the headlamp shone steadily forward, falling on a seated skeleton. The skeleton was dressed in a pale cyan robe, and a gossip figure was embroidered on the left placket. The skeleton rested its hands on its knees, as well as on top of a black stick. A ring of hair fell around it. Next to it, there is also a copper-colored bowl.
Jin Yan carefully looked at the surrounding environment, this is a small stone room, less than ten square meters, the ground is paved with neat stones, and the walls and the roof of the cave are also made of chiseled stones. There is nothing but what the eye can see.
"What kind of place is this? Grave? Accommodation? Jin Yan circled around the skeleton in confusion, and saw a line of words carved on the stone on the ground on the right side of the skeleton, carefully identified, and a few words were written:
In the sixth year of the Heavenly Sage, Yang Yuanchong sat here.
Jin Yan recited this line several times, and gradually understood. The name of this skeleton must have been Yang Yuanchong, who was supposed to be a Taoist and dug this stone cave under the well. The sixth year of the Heavenly Sage should be the name of which emperor, anyway, it is not the Eastern Qing Dynasty, it should be at least hundreds of years. Before he died, he entered this cave and made it his own grave. The actions of the world's masters are really extraordinary.
The good thing that the beggar Yang Guangzong said must be the black stick that the skeleton Yang Yuanchong caressed, and the flat-bottomed copper bowl beside him.
At this time, in Jin Yan's eyes, whether it was a black stick or a copper bowl, it was exuding a misty light. It's a completely different glow from ordinary objects. It must not be ordinary.
Jin Yan thought about it, stood in front of the skeleton, and bowed respectfully: "Hello Yang Yuanchong, senior Jin Yan, junior Jin Yan accidentally strayed into your grave, and there was a collision, don't be surprised." You are in this well, and you don't know that the world has been turned upside down, and there are as many strangers as mushrooms after a rain, and strange things are emerging one after another. The juniors are now in urgent need of a suitable weapon for self-defense, see that your stick is good, the meeting is fate, why don't the seniors give it to the juniors? ”
The skeleton certainly didn't react in any way.
"If the seniors don't speak, the juniors will be regarded as the seniors acquiescing. Thank you seniors! Jin Yan said, bowing again, and stepped forward to pull the stick out of the skeleton's hand.
But after a pump, it couldn't be pumped.
Jin Yan was stunned, took two steps back, and bowed again: "The junior etiquette has arrived." The predecessor has died, and this stick is no longer of any use to the senior. Presumably, it has been with its predecessors here for hundreds of years, and it has long been unwilling to be lonely. If it falls into the hands of juniors, and juniors use it, can it still be useful? ”
After that, he stepped forward again, pumped again, and the strength in his hand increased.
Still is..... Pumping.
Jin Yan stepped back. He didn't know what principle allowed this stick to be firmly in the hands of the skeleton Yang Yuanchong, but he didn't want to take it away by force. That may have been against the wishes of the deceased.
At this time, he heard Wang Hai's urgent shout above the dry well: "Your Majesty, are you alright?" Someone's coming! Coming to us! Not like the good guys! ”
Jin Yan's heart sank, and he tried to pump the black stick with his hand for the last time: "Senior, someone is here, these people may have the same purpose as us, he is not as good at talking as us." Give us the sticks and we will protect your corpse and this place of bones. Otherwise, let them come in and find you, and I believe that not only will they take away your things, but also your body and bones may not be able to die well. ”
After saying this, two pale green phosphorus fires flashed out in the holes of the skeleton's eyes.
Then, with a few sounds of "Titicaca", the finger bones of the skeleton Yang Yuanchong holding the black stick were released one by one. Jin Yan took the opportunity to pull out, and this time he pulled out the black stick very smoothly.
"Thank you, senior." Jin Yan bowed to the skeleton again, and then picked up the purple gold bowl beside it, "The junior promised his companions who were guarding the well, and the treasures found would be divided equally, one for each person. The younger generation has this stick himself, but the companion has not yet ...... So this bowl ......"
The cyan phosphorus fire in the skull's eye hole flashed again, and the bones all over the body rattled.
Jin Yan hurriedly withdrew, still in the same posture as when he came, supporting the wall of the well with both hands and feet, and climbed up in a zigzag shape three times and two times. As soon as he came out, he saw several people surrounding him.
"Your Majesty..... Jin Yan! Wang Hai fell beside him, his nose and face swollen, and his voice trembled under the tension and pain, "They, they are here to seek revenge on you!" Yes, there are supernatural ones! ”
Jin Yan Dingqing saw that a total of four people rushed in front of him, in front of him was Chen Dingliu and three people, and in the back was Yang Fa, an extraordinary person with pigtails.
He knew this Yang Fa, bullying and blackmailing classmates at the school gate or nearby places all day long, and he was the boss of Chen Dingliu and the three people. He was blackmailed several times. Now, there was a faint pale white light of supernatural abilities on his body, and it was clear that he was indeed a real supernatural person.
Heaven is unfair, such a person can become a supernatural person?
"Is it finally out? Since it came out, then ...... Hey! Yang Fa was saying when he suddenly exclaimed. As an alien, he was able to see the special light of some supernatural things, and he suddenly saw the light of the black stick, so he let out an exclamation.
He immediately turned his mind away, this stick looks a little interesting, it may be a valuable weapon for the supernatural, grab it first.
"Boy, what are you doing down the well? Where did this stick come from? Yang asked.
"It's your business." Jin Yan replied unceremoniously. Seeing his good friend being beaten to a blue face, of course he was not angry.
"Hmph, boy, if you're dragging it like this now, you won't be able to cry when you wait until you cry." Yang Fa stopped talking nonsense, pulled out a switchblade from his waist, and suddenly rushed over at a very fast speed!
It's fast indeed!
Jin Yan didn't have time to think about it, so he took the stick in his hand and twitched at the figure rushing in front of him.
"Horn!"
Yang Fa's rushing figure suddenly stopped, and he spun in place several times, he squatted on the ground with the back of his head covered, grinning in pain.
"Brother Fa, it's okay!" Chen Dingliu asked worriedly. That's not right, didn't Fa Ge just clean up this fat man as if he was playing, why was he beaten like this orphan all of a sudden?
"No, it's okay! Hiss! Yang Fa covered the back of his head, inexplicably in his heart, he had been rushing forward, and the other party threw a stick and hit him head-on, how did it hit the back of his head???
