Chapter 401: Relic
Xiao Qinglong hurriedly held Long'er's hand and said, "Hurry up and put it in your arms, don't let the broken jade fall to the ground, otherwise it will be unlucky." The luster of the broken jade pendant dimmed a lot, and the cave suddenly darkened, and at the moment of darkening, Long Er caught a glimpse of a huge snake corpse lying in front of him, its scales were so black that they reflected the green light of jade, and the head and body were divided into two, and streams of pus and blood gushed out like a flooded ditch, and the cave was filled with a foul smell. This is most likely the work of the little green dragon.
Long Er carefully carried the broken jade pendant into his arms, and the surroundings suddenly darkened.
"Let's get out of this place quickly. The smell of dead snakes will lure other venomous snakes here. The dragon tried to hunch his waist, trying to support himself. As soon as he looked up, he saw a pair of green eyes floating on the tip of his nose, and suddenly he heard a gust of wind flying in his ears, a "bang" sound, and then a distant sound of bronze objects hitting each other.
"It's me, why are you slashing me with a knife!" Long Er heard that it was Zhou Buyi in front of him.
The wooden box on his back rolled to the ground, and the cave suddenly became bright.
It turned out that the wooden box contained a pearl.
The pearl illuminates everything in the cave.
Yes, I know! I finally know why Zhou Buyi cried so sadly. What kind of relative is that person Zhou Buyi!" Long Er thought, who is that corpse?
Zhou Buyi couldn't bear Long'er's questioning, so he spoke slowly.
Zhou Buyi and his father have been concentrating on cultivation in Wudang Mountain, committed to exhausting the longevity and wisdom of human beings, but unexpectedly, four years ago, they were captured by Jueluo to design this huge "Fire Crystal Palace" for them, his father did not obey, but was pouted by Jueluo Guo The ancestral grave was dug up and the bones were dug up for exposure, his father still swore to die, so they put all the bones dug up from the ancestral grave in the fire and roasted them, and finally burned them into a bead. "That's it!" Zhou Buyi said here, pointing to the pearl flying in the air, "The soul of all my ancestors - relics!"
"What! That's ······." Long Er couldn't believe his ears.
"Yes, relics. The souls of all my ancestors!" Zhou Buyi looked at the relics flying in the air with tears. The dragon looked up at it and felt reverence.
"And what about after that? How did your father's bones end up here, and what happened to the grave?" a series of questions came to his face, and Long Er desperately wanted to relieve the knots in his heart.
"After we were arrested, the country of Jueluo trapped me in the prison of the 'Moonset' Castle, and used my father's life as collateral to refine the elixir for King Jueluo every day, refining the elixir and refining the aphrodisiac, working hard all day long, without stopping for a moment. I thought about poisoning myself to death, but when I thought that my father was still guarding the torture of King Jueluo, I persevered with humiliation. ”
"Why don't you refine a poison elixir and poison King Jueluo to death?" Long Er asked on a whim.
"It's useless. The reason why the alchemy room was chosen in the prison was that King Jueluo was waiting for me to refine the elixir and let the prisoners try it. I didn't know he had this trick before. Once, when I was in the middle of the medicine, the soldier brought the poisoned prisoner to me and told me to watch the poisoned prisoner decay little by little. The next day, Jue Luo Bing brought a finger of my father. Later, every time the pill went wrong, they brought a finger from my father. For the sake of my father, I had to do it with all my heart. ”
"Damn! King Jueluo is so vicious! It's just a brute!" the more Long Er listened, the more angry he became, and he scolded directly. Long Er suddenly remembered that the first time he saw the bones, his right hand did not have a finger.
"And after that?"
"After that, I took the pill that could stop breathing for two days and two nights, and thanks to the kind cell boss who did not throw me to the cliff, but buried me in the 'Valley of the Souls', and when I woke up, I was already lying in the coffin, and I used the burial blade to dig through the stone grave little by little. Later, I disguised myself as a Jueluo soldier and infiltrated the Fire Crystal Palace, and it took nearly a month to find my father, and later, I managed to escape with my father and rested in the Valley of the Soul Snatchers for a day. ”
"And what about later?"
"Later, after we had a day's rest, when we were escaping, my father insisted on destroying the Fire Crystal Palace when he saw the scourge of the world caused by himself. I asked to go, but my father didn't want to, saying that I should wait for him in the Valley of the Souls for a day, and if the 'little sun' can't be extinguished in a day, let me leave here, and when I find a king who can really save mankind, I can come back and save him, and avenge the shame of my ancestors and ancestors. After that, I don't know anything about my father. Zhou Buyi closed his eyes tiredly, not wanting to say anything more.
"Did you find me?" Long'er suddenly felt very sacred. Zhou Buyi nodded, the expression on his face was extremely painful.
Long Er suddenly understood something, and hurriedly asked, "Bai Mao, how many times did they send fingers? Is it five?"
"No, six times?"
"What? six times?" "Long Er tried to scavenge his memory, but Long Er was too careful to pay attention to his right hand and not pay close attention to the left hand of the bones.
"My father's right hand has six fingers. ”
"Oh, I see, you determined that the bones were your father based on your fingerless right hand?"
"Yes. ”
When Long Er heard this, he fell into painful thought, "If human interference is excluded, what is the force that makes the stone gate fall at the right time? Is it the weight?" Long Er knew that the window of the skylight was a seesaw instrument designed by using the change of weight.
The seesaw was attached to one end to a vessel for water, and the other to a wooden stick that pulled the window. When rainwater fills the appliance, the weight will cause one end of the appliance to sink and the other end to lift accordingly, triggering a mechanism to drop the skylight. Once the rain stops, after being baked by the sun for half a day, the rain from the appliance evaporates and disappears, and it will naturally bounce up, let the other end fall, and pull up the window accordingly.
At that time, there were not a few mechanisms designed according to their weight, and the most commonly used was a mallet device with a foot on the rice. Considering the current situation, Long Er felt more and more that the mechanism of this stone house was designed according to the principle of weight balance.
Long Er thought about it one by one: "Mingzhu turned out to be a relic, the soul of all Zhou Buyi's ancestors. Then, the number of 'people' in this stone house is very large. Is it the role of the relics? No. If the relics play a role, then the relics have stayed for a long time after we entered the stone house. If it worked, it would have worked long ago when we all came in. Long Er couldn't figure it out, stood up and walked around the stone house, and saw that the place where the bones were lying left a dark black mark. "Is it the bones that are at work? When I entered the house, the bones were lying here, and the boulder had not fallen. The bones were burned to ashes, and the boulder fell. It's the bones! The weight of the bones, the weight of the bones changes and causes the Boulder Mechanism to react. ”
Long Er hurriedly told them about this thought, but Zhou Buyi closed his eyes tightly, without any surprised expression, "I have also thought about it, using the weight change to trigger the mechanism." I used my dad's weight before his death to lose little by little, to all the possible weight of the bones that he could have, and the result was that there was no reaction. Long Er fell into despair all of a sudden. "No, there should still be flaws. Huang Long thought for a while and said, "How was your father's martial arts during his lifetime?"
"It's dozens of times my martial arts. ”
