Chapter 7 A hairpin
"Poof!" "Poof!" "Poof!" "Poof!"
The four of them all stripped naked, listened to Wei Ze's words, and got into the water in turn.
Across the sparkling water, and then look at the glimpse of the forest in the cave, there is a different charm.
Li Binggang dived to the bottom of the water, and more than a dozen small fish fled in all directions, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
The water in this pool is not deep, less than two zhang, the water body is clear, and the bottom can almost be seen in the shallow places. In the cold winter, the outside of the wax moon is shivering with cold, and the water in this cave is not biting.
As soon as he got out of the water, the huge corpse that Wei Ze said came into view.
The flesh on the bones had been eroded, and only the white bones remained, about five zhang long from head to tail.
The head is very large, more than a fifth of the body, the skull is flattened into a round spade, the jaw bone is seen, the mouth is broad, there are rows of triangular teeth above and below, extremely sharp, and the nostrils are small, but the eye sockets are huge.
The spine in the middle of the body is curved, with a total of more than 40 segments, each of which is as thick as a person's thigh, and the chest cavity is very flat. There are three pairs of feet in the front, middle and back, each foot has two tibia, each segment is about half a zhang long, the tail of the foot has four fingers, and the phalanges are short, each with three knuckles.
From the last pair of feet, the vertebrae gradually become elongated, and it should be a tail.
Li Bing swam around the corpse, stopped in front of the head, and broke its jaw, which could be opened at a large angle, and the mouth was like a hut.
Swimming to the top of his head, the monster's skull had a huge crack, presumably in the shape of a swastika, but the skull was not broken.
I looked around below, reciprocating a few times, and finally I saw the same. Wei Ze pointed to the boat above in his hand and motioned for Li Bing to speak.
One by one, they came out of the water, each occupying a corner of the boat, and chatted while wiping their bodies with their plackets.
"You say, what the hell is that, why is it so big?" Wei Ze was the most excited, and said: "Six-legged things are really rare." ”
Chiren wiped the water in the squeaky nest with the placket, put it in front of his nose and sniffed it, and put it directly on his body: "I once heard that there is a big fish in the sea, called whales, and the big ones are eight or nine zhang, could it be this thing?" ”
"Although I have never seen a whale with my own eyes, I look at the picture in "Chronicles of the Nations". The monster below, although the size is right, but the whale seems to have no legs, and the appearance of the head and tail is not the same. Looking at the figure, it is a bit like a baby fish in the Chang'an River. However, the baby fish has four legs, and the largest is only three or four feet. It's not that big. ”
Li Bing twisted his long hair in half, and as soon as he finished speaking, he turned back again: "Eh! Everyone has come up, why haven't you seen Brother Zihuan?"
He had to look at the whole bottom of the water, and thought that he could find the treasure left behind by the Faqiu lineage, so let him go, and he would come up in a while. Chi Ren glanced at the bottom of the water, and listened to Wei Ze's analysis:
"You say, where did such a big monster come from? You've seen the entrance to this cave, it's just that big, it's okay, and a guy of this size can't climb in.
It doesn't seem right to say that this monster originally lived in this hole. There is only so much water here, even less living water, and the pool in the cave is so big and not too deep, let alone raising such a big living creature, it is not easy for him to turn over.
Eh, isn't it a hairy hill that is kept here, guarding the baby? If anyone dares to come in, this guy can swallow him in one bite. However, with such a large body, the daily food is probably a cow. ”
After he finished speaking excitedly, he suddenly shook his head again: "It doesn't seem right, if such a big thing is raised here, the stone stalactites in the cave should have been destroyed by him a long time ago...... Can't figure it out, can't figure it out......"
Between small talks, Ji Zihuan finally surfaced. As soon as his head came out of the water, he coughed for a long time, and then woke up again: "Ahem...... Ahem...... Swam too far and almost drowned in it. Come on, pull me up!"
"I thought there was something hidden in the water, so I swam around and found nothing. He was not strong in his muscles, and when he spoke, he shivered coldly, put on his clothes and said:
"Have you ever seen that thing have a wound on the top of its head, which is a swastika. It looks like a Buddha seal. Pander to... Pander to... Ahh
He touched a handful of snot and reached into the water to rinse it: "There is another monk's bones in that cave, do you think it will be a fight between a monk and a monster, and both will be injured." In the end, the monk won, but he was also poisoned?"
"It's possible. But that still doesn't explain why there's such a big monster here. Chiren hollowed out his head and couldn't come up with a reasonable explanation: "It's a pity that today is the last day to stay here, otherwise you can check everywhere again, maybe you can find any clues." ”
"I've seen a lot of strange things, but it's the first time I've seen such a big monster. If you can salvage him and display it in Chang'an, you will definitely make a lot of money. Wei Ze also felt a little regretful, he didn't leave the bank in three sentences, and he still thought about business.
While chatting, the five of them gently rocked the oars and rowed back to the cave engraved with the words "Jade Long Baotian".
Along the way, he returned to Ji Zihuan's treasure cave, and he packed all the treasures in his heart into two large boxes:
a long sword "Yunlin";
Five-curved sword "Han Python";
The big chopping knife "Soul Breaker";
against the sword "Qiushui" and "Changtian";
Odd Soldier List "Point Cangzhu Cane";
Taoist treasure "mixed yuan clothes";
the consecration of the "White Deer Zen Master" "White Robe";
the "Red Sun Bow" used by the generals of the Sui Dynasty;
the "Ziqiong East Cloud Pearl" that can swallow clouds and spit out fog;
Complete set of "Heavenly Ladder Talismans"
all sorts of unheard-of elixirs;
Seven or eight well-known high-level martial arts classics;
Everything was packed and taken away, except for the huge black sword case, the two-handed heavy sword "Choking the Clouds".
"This sword itself is too big and heavy to carry, not to mention ominous. Forget it, there are already a lot of things, don't get into trouble anymore. Ji Zihuan said to Chiren: "There are too many things to bring, forget about this." ”
"It's okay!" Chiren was still a little reluctant to give up on this sword, and opened the sword box before leaving, and on the dark sword body that was as bright as a mirror, the red inscription flashed with light, which was so gorgeous.
Li Bing also looked at it, his eyes full of longing.
"Brother Zihuan. Since you don't want to take this sword away, how about selling it to me. I also brought money, which was originally the money for the redemption of the Tao Sword, and I gave it to you. How?" Li Bing hesitated, but still spoke. He himself likes this sword, but the gentleman does not take the favor of others, and he has never dared to say anything.
What's more, Ji Zihuan just returned the "Tao Sword" to him, and at this time he asked for another one, which seemed to be a little insatiable. After confirming that Ji Zihuan couldn't bring it, he spoke.
"Do you want to? Ji Zihuan shrugged and said: "I can't bring my own money anymore, if you really want it, just give it to you! But you can think about it, this sword is really weird, I can't say it, in short, the people who touched him will end up miserable." You must be careful......"
Li Bing was overjoyed: "It's okay. I don't know how to use a two-handed heavy sword myself. It's just that this sword is delicate and mighty, and I like it very much. Today, seeing that you have such a large treasure trove of collections, I want to get one too. This 'choke' is the first piece I want. As long as I'm careful and don't touch it until I figure it out, I should be fine. ”
Ji Zihuan was also refreshing: "The food is tasteless, and it is a pity to abandon it." Probably that's all there is to it. It's a pity that it doesn't work when it's so good-looking. Instead of staying in this hole, it is better to send it to you as well. He picked up the sword box and handed it to Li Bing.
As soon as he started this, Li Bing almost didn't hold it. This sword is twice as heavy as it looks, and Li Bing can only move it, if you want to use this sword to use the "Yangyue Sword Technique", I am afraid that the cultivation is still far behind, not to mention that the Yangyue Sword Technique itself is not a sword move of the heavy sword.
After moving the contents of the treasure house for a long time and putting them all into two large boxes, Ji Zihuan brought them all back to the secret room of the Jujuju.
Looking out through the "quartz tube" on the roof, the sky is orange and yellow, and it is already sunset. There are less than three hours left before the person who has arranged to pick it up.
Ji Zihuan hurriedly sorted out his belongings, and Li Bing and Wei Ze also helped.
There are a total of eight large boxes to be taken away, three boxes of gold and silver, one box of jade, one box of calligraphy, painting and martial arts classics, one box of all kinds of cherished blades, one box of clothing treasures, armor pills, and one box of antique ornaments.
Other things that are big and not priceless are not brought, and these things are sorted out, and there are actually eight boxes. Even if you choose and choose, the things in it are considered treasures in ordinary people's homes.
Putting these boxes back in the cave, Ji Zihuan looked at them and was reluctant to leave for a long time.
"Say goodbye!" Chiren couldn't help but quip as he looked at his sad expression.
It's okay not to say this, but when he said it, he actually beat his chest again and again, and sighed: "This is all the family business I saved with every penny, and how much effort I put into it." Ay...... Dog's Day Fusion. ”
He shook his head again and again, and said, "That's so, but if it weren't for Rongjiao, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to make so much money." It is true that success also integrates education, defeat also integrates education, rich also integrates education, and poor also integrates education. ”
"If you want to open some, you have that money, and you can't spend it in ten lifetimes in Murowei. Don't get obsessed with what is in the hole. When the time comes, we may be able to come back one day!"
Ji Zihuan didn't answer, the paper lantern in his hand was still in the hole, slowly closed the mechanism, and waved goodbye.
The dim yellow light of the lantern shone on his face, gradually narrowing, turning into a thin line, and finally disappearing.
"I'll send you out. After sending you away, we should also go up the mountain, bury these mines, and blow up this place at midnight when the people who picked us up arrive. When the time comes, the valleys on both sides will collapse, and the entire Zhuangzi will be buried in the rocks. Leave no trace.
In a few years, such a remote Zhuangzi, inaccessible and uncared for, will soon be swallowed up by weeds, and everything will return to dust and dust. I don't know that the 'Jade Dragon Cave Heaven' below will not be discovered again until hundreds of thousands of years later. ”
Ji Zihuan sighed as he opened the mechanism and sent Li Bing to the door of Zhuangzi to load the sword box and sword on the carriage.
Chiren brought a white horse from the back of the courtyard: "This time you came, just take him away, and finally return it to its original owner." Otherwise, as soon as I leave with Chiren, I will also release him. ”
He stroked his horse's mane, handed the reins to Li Bing, and hugged him again: "Great grace is not grateful." If you have the opportunity, you must come to Mengwu Murwei, and when the time comes, I will be the east, and we will have a good conversation. ”
"Okay!
Li Bing also tied the white horse to the carriage, looked at the three people behind him, and waved goodbye.
"Drive!"
It was a meeting in Pingshui, and it was only a few times to see each other, but somehow, when they were separated, they were still a little reluctant.
The last light of the setting sun was sprinkled in the valley, and Li Bing and the two walked to the blue brick road when they came, and looked at the poems on the stone tablet:
"Scattered into mud incense to disappear, it is better to pick a hairpin. ”
Li Bing stopped the carriage, folded a plum, and pinned it to the carriage.
"You can have a hairpin too. This farewell, I really don't know if I can see each other again in this life. ”
