Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Temple of Hades
The head of the big snake came to Li Dabao and shook twice, and the snake hyacinth pulled on Li Dabao's face.
Just when I wondered if the snake was testing something, all of a sudden, the mouth of the big snake suddenly grew.
At a speed that I can't describe in words, I bit Li Dabao's head in one bite.
"Don't ......"
As soon as I shouted, I felt a sudden heat on my face, and my eyes were full of blood and bright red.
When he wiped the blood on his face, he saw Li Dabao's severed head.
The wound on his neck was still gurgling and bleeding.
I was so stupid that I couldn't figure out what was going on.
And the big snake seemed to be a little unsatisfied after eating Li Dabao's head, and slowly turned its head to me.
The red light flickered slightly, and the bloody mouth opened and swallowed me directly.
I didn't have time to react, so I had to raise my hand to dodge ......!
"Hey...... Wake up, wake up ......"
"Chen Xu, Chen Xu?"
The expected being eaten did not happen, and instead Li Dabao's voice came.
I opened my eyes in a daze, and saw Li Dabao slapping my face with a candle.
Even the liquid from the melting of the candle dripped on my face, pushing Li Dabao away with pain.
"Are you a human or a ghost?"
Li Dabao was pushed by me, sat on the ground and looked at me with an expression like a fool.
"Are you having nightmares?"
"Do you see if I'm a human or a ghost? Does the ghost have a shadow? ”
Li Dabao pointed to his own shadow on the ground.
When I saw Li Dabao's shadow, I woke up like a dream, it turned out that I was dreaming just now?
But why was that dream so real?
When I came back to my senses, I reflexively began to touch my jacket pocket.
But Li Dabao smiled: "Are you looking for this?" ”
When I looked up, I saw Li Dabao holding the jade tire in his hand and smiling at me.
Seeing me looking at him, Li Dabao didn't forget to squeeze me.
"How can you steal while I'm asleep? Do all of your grave robbers have a habit of taking sheep by the hand? ”
I was told by Li Dabao that I didn't know how to answer, coughed lightly twice to hide my embarrassment, and then changed the topic and asked when the other party woke up.
Li Dabao got up from the ground and said: "Not long after I woke up, I saw that you didn't want to have your hands there, how can you have spring dreams in such a place?" ”
"What are you talking nonsense?"
I simply told Li Dabao about my dream just now, and Li Dabao was very disdainful after hearing it.
He also said: "Brother Chen, you really hurt me, why didn't the big snake eat you together?" ”
Because of the nightmare just now, I didn't want to have a meaningless argument with Li Dabao, so I asked the other party how do we get out?
He also pointed to the candle in his hand, which had burned to the point that only a small half was left.
Hearing this, Li Dabao took out his piece of silk book again, squatted on the ground and read it repeatedly.
It wasn't until the candle was about to burn out that the latter put away the silk book and said that it had been found.
Then he pointed to the stone door next to the wall and said, "Go through there, and go out to the temple of Hades." ”
I was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "Then what were you doing just now?" ”
Li Dabao replied very seriously: "Find the exit, what's wrong?" ”
"Can't you see the stone gate?"
"See?"
"And what else are you looking for?"
"I'll see if there's any other exit?"
"Is there one?"
"No? What's the matter? ”
"Did you know we don't have candles?"
"You know, what's wrong?"
"You ......"
When I saw this, Li Dabao was afraid that he was either stupid from excessive blood loss, or he was sick again.
I didn't want to reason with him anymore, so I stepped forward and pushed the stone door hard, but after pushing for a long time, I didn't move at all.
It was at this time that Li Dabao groaned and let go of the candle in his hand.
The candle flickered a few times on the ground, then slowly extinguished, and the stone chamber fell into a kind of boundless darkness again.
As soon as the candle went out, I fell into that nervous feeling again, and I didn't know what to do.
Or did Li Dabao say: "Is it possible that this stone door is opened?" And not pushed away? ”
I didn't want to deal with Li Dabao, so I reached out and groped in the dark, and I really touched a depression.
Then he used the strength of the milk and pulled it out.
"Crunch...... Crunch ......"
The shrill sound of the stone gate sounded, and a yin wind came towards me, and I immediately reacted and hid to the side of the stone gate.
At this time, Li Dabao took my hand and said, "Okay, this is the last passage, there won't be any mechanism." ”
With that, he dragged me into the passageway.
The last passage, I couldn't see anything.
Even when you put your hand in front of you, you can only feel something, but you can't see your fingers.
Li Dabao pulled me with one hand and held on to the wall with the other, and walked forward very quickly.
I told him to be careful, but the latter was like he hadn't heard.
In the pitch black passage, my sense of direction was quite poor, and after a few minutes I couldn't tell the direction at all.
But fortunately, it didn't take me about five or six minutes before and after, and I saw a foggy white light flickering in front of me.
Seeing the light, Li Dabao suddenly became excited.
He dragged me out of his feet and ran, and I was almost knocked down by his sudden move.
When he officially walked out of this dark passage, the scene in front of him suddenly became clear.
Li Dabao shouted happily: "It's here, it's finally here." ”
Looking at Li Dabao's appearance, I once thought that the other party had been driven crazy by the oppressive environment here.
But when you think about yourself, isn't it like a frightened bird?
Thankfully, this should be our final destination.
That is, the underground palace and the underworld in the mouth of all of them.
The size of the entire Hades Temple is not very large, but it is not very small either.
Above our heads was a circular dome with a blood-red totem of a phoenix soaring, but the color was already very dim.
There are 28 stones that can emit light in various parts of the phoenix's flight, which looks like night pearls, but they should not be night pearls.
Because they are not as round as the night pearls, although they also look round in general, many of them are not very regular, and some are very dull.
Therefore, the whole temple is illuminated to give people a foggy feeling.
In the center of the dome was an oval-shaped pool, and a faint smell of blood filled the entire temple.
There were some unrealistic openings in front of us, and I counted eight of them.
In addition, on the left and right sides of each doorway, there are lampholders for big-headed children, and all the lampstands are cast in bronze.
The craftsmanship is exquisite, and even welding technology is used.
Of course, this was later told to me by Uncle Yan.
And the most striking thing is the milky white coffin held in place by twenty-eight bronze chains hanging from the top of the dome.
It was now hanging silently above our heads in front of us, about three meters high.
The white coffin is like jade, not jade, with the totem of phoenix nirvana on it, and the amazing thing is that there are intermittent red lines on the totem's body.
Under the light of the night pearl above the dome, as we walked, those red lines flowed slowly like the blood vessels in the body of a phoenix.
The time I have been with Uncle Yan is not short, and I also have a certain understanding of some antiques and antiquities.
But I observed the coffin in front of me for a long time, but I didn't understand what it was made of.
Li Dabao held the jade fetus in his hand, looked left and right, as if he was looking for some mechanism.
I walked up to it and asked what it was looking for?
Li Dabao held up the jade fetus in his hand and said: "Old Bi Deng said that you only need to put this jade fetus on the altar and then press the mechanism by two people at the same time to open the coffin ......!" ”
"But why can't I find where the altar is, there is no altar at a glance?"
As Li Dabao said, the scale of the entire Hades Temple is so large.
The outermost part is the eight holes, and in the inside are the headlamp slaves.
Further inside, there was a pool of blood that occupied the largest part of the entire temple.
Finally, there is the phoenix white jade hanging coffin above our heads......!
