Chapter 299: Chen Taizhang slashes the two tigers
We are now in a very open space, as soon as we come out of the water, we can immediately find that the cave above our heads is much higher, and when we shine around with a flashlight, we can find that the space here has become several times larger, and when we look deeper, the deep cave has suddenly opened up, no longer as winding and winding as before, and now it has become quite smooth.
Chen Yulin's face was overjoyed, he compared the injured map with him, and shouted happily: "This is it, after we walk here, we will continue to walk forward, turn around at the next fork, and then we will be able to reach the Xuanwu Cave!" ”
We were all quite excited, and the excitement in our eyes flickered frequently.
"Don't stop, keep going!" Chen Guangge encouraged us.
At this time, the fortune teller began to pinch his fingers, and his expression was slightly relieved.
"We are afraid that there are chasing soldiers behind us, although it will not affect the overall situation, but it is better for everyone to be faster."
As soon as the fortune teller said this, the rest of us would know what it meant, and the fish that escaped by luck must have gone back and called out to his accomplices, wanting to continue the pursuit and thwart us.
"Then wait for me." Chen Yulin waved his hand.
We stopped, but Liu Ruxiang said, "Yes, we should transfer that mechanism back to him, so that the water flow of this underground river can change back to its original state." ”
Chen Yulin nodded, lying on the edge of the water and groping around, finally grabbed an iron chain and dragged it gently, and after a while, we heard the sound of "click-click", and then the gate of this underground dark river opened a lot, and the water surged!
Chen Yulin hurriedly climbed up and patted the water on his arm.
Now, the Oriental thieves behind it will be difficult to deal with.
They didn't enter the tomb to find this map of the ancestor of the Chen family, and they definitely didn't know about this Xuanwu Cave, even if they followed the footprints to find this underground river, the turbulent water in this place was enough for them to drink a pot.
After everyone rested, they continued to walk into the depths.
Wandering around and around we soon came to the fork in the road, and following the directions on the map, we continued deeper.
Walking further ahead, suddenly the light of the flashlight shines on the wall, and immediately there is a vigorous and powerful stone carving handwriting, this handwriting knows at a glance that it is a calligraphy master, written in Zhuang script, there is a unique ancient rhyme.
Chen Guangge and the word tester were attracted by the words on the wall, and couldn't help but stop and observe.
"It's been a few years." Liu Ruxiang muttered softly.
Because it is an ancient Zhuang text, even if Liu Ruxiang reads it, we don't know much about it.
I had to listen to the four masters translating for us on the side.
It is said that during the Ming Dynasty, the ancestor of the Chen family in Shuanghu Town was also a talent, and he was a man of both civil and military affairs, because he lost the struggle in the officialdom of Fucheng, he annoyed the big man, and brought his family to Shanglin County in despair.
At that time, when he was in Fucheng, he had a guest, who was a fortune teller, who was crazy on weekdays and wore a shabby robe. It was a time when I saw the old man lying on the ground on the street, and was beaten by the shopkeeper of the restaurant, and the ancestor of the Chen family felt pity when he saw it, and stepped forward to ask, it turned out that the old man was alone, and he didn't give money for dinner, and he felt out a stone and said that he had paid for the meal.
The shopkeeper of the restaurant naturally didn't recognize it, so he wanted to beat the old man. The ancestor of the Chen family felt that this matter was ridiculous, and he sympathized with it, so he generously drank wine bags and helped the old man out of the siege.
Who would have thought that this old man would say wildly, saying that Old Ancestor Chen would be robbed in three years, and the officialdom would be frustrated, and there would be a disaster of killing.
Sure enough, three years later, the ancestor of the Chen family got into trouble with a prince from the palace, and naturally he was going to die.
At the critical moment, he thought of this crazy old man, and the old man gave him advice, threw out the crutches in his hand, and then said: "You keep walking in the direction that my crutches are pointing, and you are not allowed to stop, you are not allowed to change the direction, so that after walking for three days and three nights, you will meet two tigers, and if you kill those two tigers, you will survive." If not, your whole family will die. ”
The ancestor of the Chen family was panicked, and before the old man finished speaking, the prince's pursuers came to the door. The ancestor of the Chen family hurriedly fled with his family members and servants, and after coming out of the back door, he followed the direction of the old man's crutches all the way.
Out of the city, he crossed the mountains and mountains, and the prince's pursuers were still in hot pursuit, and they walked for three days and three nights to a mountain col, and sure enough, they encountered two big tigers. The ancestor of the Chen family was strong in martial arts, and fought with the tiger for a day and a night, and finally killed the tiger, and set up camp here according to the old man's words, rammed the earth and cut down wood to build a house, and settled here.
Since then, the prince's pursuers have never come again, and the Chen family has lived here. This is the origin of Shuanghu Town.
After that, the ancestor of the Chen family asked someone to go to Fucheng to inquire about the news of the old man, only to hear that the old man was killed by the rebels, and then immediately turned into a skin, and countless bees poured out of the skin, scattered in all directions, and disappeared between heaven and earth.
The ancestor of the Chen family died after forty years, and a white jade cicada crawled out of thin air from a wooden box in the family and burrowed into the ancestor's body. The temperature in the Lingnan area is humid and hot, but after the first seven full seven days, the body of the ancestor does not decay, and the Chen family gradually becomes a famous family after being buried peacefully.
As we walked, we took a flashlight and shone around, and after reading this piece of text, there were beautiful murals carved on the side. The first picture shows the ancestor of the Chen family taking out a copper coin at the door of a restaurant, and there is a rickety old man curled up on the ground next to him.
The second picture shows a man wearing a crown with a long sword and leading his soldiers to kill. The rickety old man threw out his crutches, pointed in the direction, and opened his mouth to talk to the ancestor of the Chen family on the side.
The third picture shows the ancestor of the Chen family holding a tiger and building a house.
The fourth picture shows the ancestor of the Chen family lying at home with his eyes closed, and a white cicada crawling into his mouth.
After reading this picture, it is really shocking.
"The last sentence said: I Chen Taizhang, in the middle of the Wanli period, both civil and military, people in middle age flew to the disaster, escaped from the dead and slaughtered the double tiger, and died at the end of his life!"
After Chen Yulin said this, all of us felt the legendary story of hundreds of years ago.
Chen Guangge was silent for a while, and then spoke: "Since the Ming Dynasty, the Chen family of Shuanghu Town has not been cut off for hundreds of years, and the biggest credit for this is not necessarily the terrain where the green dragon rises in this ancestral land, it is very likely that it can rely on the ash cicada to succeed." ”
Chen Guangge said this, and Chen Yulin couldn't help but nodded.
"In this way, the value of this ancestral land is not great."
Chen Yulin turned his head to look at Liu Ruxiang, and stopped talking at this time.
I know what this old man Chen wants to say, I'm afraid he wants to ask Liu Ruxiang to return the ash cicada.
After reading the story of the Chen family in Shuanghu Town, we continued to walk forward, and it didn't take long for the cave in front of us to come to an end.
In front of you, there are steps from the bottom to the top, and then you can see a huge well the size of a millstone.
There is a huge stone slab embedded in this well, and some words are written on it, so that Liu Ruxiang can see it, which roughly means that future generations should see this, and they should destroy this ancestral land, no need to regret Yunyun, don't insult the corpse of the ancestors, and future generations need to rely on diligence and thrift.
Chen Yulin listened to Liu Ruxiang speak, and he could feel that it was the tone of the old ancestor hundreds of years ago, and sighed frequently for a while.
"According to the operation on this drawing, as long as the mechanism is operated, the wellhead of this Xuanwu Cave can be opened, and then a lot of water will naturally gush out, flooding the entire cave." Speaking of this, Liu Ruxiang turned around and pointed to the stone wall behind us.
This wall is the same as the tomb of the ancestor of the Chen family before that, and it is also the kind of thick organ gate.
"As long as you operate the mechanism, when you open this Xuanwu Cave, the door to go out will also open."
Liu Ruxiang said, and Chen Yulin began to operate according to Liu Ruxiang's words.
At this time, he will not avoid us.
At the same time, he told us about the rules for opening the door.
"I didn't know the gate of this place before, but you see, there are many words in a patterned palace on it, can you see it clearly?"
Chen Yulin said as he talked about the characters of the Chen family in their Shuanghu Town.
"Press it according to the characters of our Chen family, this is the order in which the stone door is opened."
Chen Yulin immediately began to press, the mechanism on this stone door was obviously more southerly than the previous tomb gate, and we used a lot of strength to press down one by one the small stone squares.
Just as we continued to press, the pursuers had arrived in the underground river that we couldn't see not far away!
The gray-robed old man took four or five black-robed disciples and controlled a dozen hideous-looking zombies to the edge of the underground river.
"The people are gone, and there is no road ahead." That disciple was reporting the situation to the gray-robed old man beside him in the bird language of the Oriental Kingdom.
The gray-robed old man snorted coldly.
"I see, those people must have swam through this underground river."
As the gray-robed old man spoke, he immediately shook a short sword, on which was tied a small copper bell, and when it shook it it made a burst of sound, it sounded particularly pleasant.
Immediately, a zombie was manipulated by the gray-robed old man and walked underwater.
This zombie is estimated to be soaked in water, and its body is a little swollen, but its face is still intact, and the dark face of the middle-aged man can be vaguely seen.
However, as soon as the zombie jumped into the water, its feet had not yet fallen to the bottom of the water, and it was immediately unstable by the turbulent current, and immediately staggered after falling into the water, and was immediately washed away by the current, and there was no splash.
The gray-robed old man had a straight face and pondered silently......
