Volume 2 Capture the Sword Chapter 94 The Statue of Nuwa
Since Jiang ASEAN and the Iron Boat Gang can relieve so many earth dragon rat infestations, then these things in front of them are simply insignificant.
But when the Feng seniors said the methods of the year, Cao Cao fell silent again.
Because the answer is the one-horned three-flowered snake.
It is a snake species that lives in the rainforest of Cochin County, with a body of excessive length, three-color patterns, a single horn on its head, and poisonous fangs in its mouth, which is very fierce and violent, and extremely poisonous.
The so-called one thing descends one thing, precisely because the earth dragon rat is from Jiaozhi County, so the one-horned three-flowered snake that is also from Jiaozhi County is their natural enemy.
It is said that the offering is a hall master with the surname of Jiang ASEAN, who is said to have the talent of ghosts and gods, and is the elder of Jiang ASEAN.
It's useless to know the way, this is the tunnel, where to find the one-horned three-flowered snake! What's more, the only big snake that originally lived here, the 'Son of God', is also at the foot of Woniu Mountain, and it died together with the one-horned fairy and the water dragon king.
was pondering, only to see a group of rats stacked one by one, arranged in the shape of a shield, and placed into a rat 'wall', which was equivalent to cutting off the way of Cao Cao and others.
And there is no way back at all, the area of the ear chamber is not large, the space is narrow, the rat array is constantly approaching, the three of them are constantly retreating, and finally there is no way to retreat, and then retreat is the earthen wall.
The danger is that while the rats are building a rat formation, they have even sent a 'sneak attack team' to try to sneak out the attack from the side of the ear chamber.
It's no wonder that the wind seniors said that the earth dragon rats are much smarter than ordinary rats, and they actually know 'tactics'.
Fortunately, Cao Cao and the Feng seniors were quick and used their long swords and torches to smash their 'conspiracy' several times in time.
Cao Cao and the three of them have also been discussing countermeasures, but this kind of enemy scene, everyone has met for the first time, and there is no experience to refer to.
It's not that there is no chance at all, because the biggest weakness of the group of rats is that they are afraid of light, as long as the torches are not extinguished, the group of rats do not dare to attack in a big way.
Fortunately, I brought a lot of rafters with me when I came down, and I was able to hold on for a while, but it was not a way to stalemate like this, and the longer it took me, the smaller the chance of escaping.
Cao Cao tried to throw a burning rafter into the rat pile, so that he could tear a hole open. The rafters were thrown into the rat pile, and the rats were really scrambling to dodge, and even many of them were burned with hair, but the number of rats was too much, and according to this method, they were afraid that the rafters would run out and they would not be able to rush out.
And it seems that some of the earth dragon rats have lost their patience, and there are constantly flying over, some are shot down by Cao Cao with torches, some are slashed by the wind seniors with swords, and some hit the back wall headlong, and the head of the collision broke blood.
As the earth dragon rat flew into the back wall, the soil on the earth wall fell down, revealing a piece of green bricks, no wonder those who hit the back wall of the earth dragon rat head broke the blood flow, it turned out to hit the green brick.
At first, Cao Cao and the three of them didn't pay attention to it, until Princess Sanssouci reminded them, and then they turned their eyes to the green bricks.
Senior Feng used a long sword to draw the earthen wall behind him, and more green bricks were exposed, and the three of them saw clearly that this was actually a retaining wall made of blue bricks.
Under a closer look, there is a pattern portrait on it, the circle is a neat 'Hui' shaped cloud and thunder pattern, and a great god is drawn in the center: a human-faced snake body, eyes are bright, unkempt and jade-faced, and the tail is huge; two green snakes are earrings, a white snake is a collar; and both hands also grasp a thick red snake.
It is the legendary ancient god Nuwa Niangniang.
When he saw the portrait of Nuwa Niangniang, Cao Cao immediately concluded that it was painted in the late Qin and early Han dynasties, because the portrait bricks of this period often appeared on the portrait bricks of the scale-body Fuxi, the snake-body Nuwa, and the eastern prince and the western queen mother, and other ancient gods;
As soon as the image of Nuwa Niangniang appeared, the entire rat group trembled, and involuntarily retreated, and none of them dared to step forward, looking very afraid of this ancient god.
"I see. Cao Cao suddenly said loudly.
"Oh, what's the matter?" asked Old Senior Wind and Princess Sanssouci at the same time.
"As I expected, the men in this chamber are not digging the earth, but sealing it in order to cover the brick wall. “
"Why cover it up?"
"Is there a secret behind ..... brick wall?"
The two looked at Cao Cao with puzzled faces.
"Yes or no, just try it. Cao Cao slammed the brick wall with his rafters, and from the muffled sound of 'dong dong', you could tell that the back of the brick wall was empty.
Cao Cao pushed harder, and after a few pokes, the two green bricks were pushed into it and fell into the hollow behind the wall.
Suddenly, a strong rancid smell came out of his face, and Cao Cao, who was choking, coughed dryly, and at the same time, a beam of white light shot out from inside, and the white light shone on the group of rats, and the group of rats all rushed to dodge.
What kind of white light is this? How can it be so bright, even if dozens of torches are lit at the same time, I am afraid that it will not reach such intensity.
Could it be the sun's rays?
Is there an exit behind this brick wall?
Can sunlight come in through the exit?
The three of them were in high spirits, Cao Cao was overjoyed, and roared inside from the gap in the brick wall, and there was an echo!
Cao Cao saw hope and was about to knock out more green bricks in one go, when Princess Sanssouci timidly asked: "Brother Cao, if you tear down the green bricks, you will destroy the portrait of Nuwa Niangniang, will those earth dragon rats ......?"
Cao Cao understood her concerns, and the deterrent effect of Nuwa's portrait on rats was obvious to all.
But it's not a way to be trapped here, and now there is hope to escape, so why not try?
Cao Cao knelt on his knees, respectfully kowtowed to the portrait a few times, and said reverently: "Nuwa Niangniang is above, the disciple is trapped here, fortunately with the blessing of your old man's gods, now there is a glimmer of life, the disciple must try, I beg Niangniang to be merciful and forgive the disciple." “
After bowing a few times, Cao Cao got up and continued his actions just now, and the green bricks fell one by one, revealing a spacious hole.
The white light became brighter and brighter, and the rats were so frightened that they withdrew from the ear chamber and hid in the outdoor tunnel.
"Come, let's go in. "Cao Cao took the princess on his back and took the lead in the 'new' tunnel, and after the old man Feng broke the long sword in his hand, he also followed.
In fact, they don't have to worry, those earth dragon rats are afraid of this white light, and they don't dare to chase after them in the ear chamber at all, although they are unwilling to see the loss of their 'prey', but saving their lives is more important than filling their stomachs.
Thank God, thank you Nuwa Niangniang, thank you Qin Shi Huang (although it's not sure if this brick wall has anything to do with him), anyway, he finally escaped the 'poisonous hands' of the earth dragon rats for the time being.
Princess Sanssouci had palpitations: "Brother Cao, how can you say that there are such demons in the tunnel?"
"Who knows where they came from, but I'm sure they won't be in the tunnels for long, and the last time they entered and exited the tunnels, there was no trace of them at all. ”
"That's not necessarily, maybe it was Shaoxia's luck last time. ”
"But the tunnel was not blocked last time, and the younger generation thought that the two things were related. ”
"What does Shaoxia mean is that someone blocked the tunnel and put in the earth dragon rat?"
"Exactly. ”
Princess Sanssouci heard it and thought it was very interesting, "I've seen chickens and ducks, but I haven't heard of anyone raising rats, what's the use of them?"
Princess Sanssouci's words, in fact, are also what Cao Cao and the old man wanted to ask, what is the use of raising such a large number of earth dragon rats, just the food supply is not something that ordinary people can afford.
In this Julu County, it is none other than ...... who have this ability Zhang Jiao?
A hint of ominous feeling flashed in Cao Cao's heart, and the old incident of the rebellion in Jiaozhi County suddenly flashed in his mind, could it be that Zhang Jiao also wanted to learn from the anti-thief Shijin? He raised the Earth Dragon Rat to cultivate the 'Rat Army', so that one day it could be used as a killer weapon?
If that is the case, I wonder how many innocent people will suffer from it.
However, where did Zhang Jiao get so many earth dragon rats?
"Senior Feng, you just said that it was the hall master of the 'Jiang ASEAN' who offered the plan to deal with the earth dragon rats?"
"Oh, the young man has also heard of this person?"
As Cao Cao walked forward, he told everything he knew about the hall master.
"What? The person in front of the hall master before his death was Zhang Jiao?"
"It's true. Cao Cao has been confirmed by Sun Ce and Zhang Jiao, "Not only that, but the treasure of the 'Jiang ASEAN' Zhenmeng "Taiping Sutra" has also fallen into Zhang Jiao's hands. ”
"Oh, no wonder, no wonder, with this book, Zhang Jiao not only founded the Taiping Sect, but also formed the Yellow Turban Army, Yu Hall Master, Yu Hall Master, as the 'Jiang ASEAN' Elder of the Scriptures, how could he be so confused. ”
Seeing that the old man shook his head and sighed, Cao Cao hurriedly explained: "There are twists and turns, and the juniors really don't know, but the juniors have heard that there has been a very serious internal strife in the 'Jiang ASEAN', which seems to be related to Dong Zhuo and the 'Hongmen', Yu Tang Master was seriously injured in this accident, and when he fled to Julu County, he inadvertently met Zhang Jiao. ”
In this way, it is difficult to conclude whether it was the hall master who took the initiative to give the book, and it is difficult to guarantee that it was not Zhang Jiao who forcibly took it, and took a step back, even if the hall master gave him sincerely, it is unknown whether there are additional conditions. ”
After saying so much, the three of them were even more convinced in their hearts that the cultivation training and even the command method of these earth dragon rats were most likely leaked to Zhang Jiao by the hall master of the 'Jiang ASEAN'.
It's really terrible, once those careerists are interested in interests, they can do any terrible thing, but in the end, it is the innocent people who suffer.
The more Cao Cao thought about it, the more angry he became, from the assassination of the new emperor of the White Horse Temple to the rediscovery of the sword of the Heavenly Son of Calvary in Woniu Mountain, all over again, in order to seize power, Dong Zhuo, Zhang Jiao, Lu Bu, ghost shadows, etc., even the first emperor, all did their best to do what they could, for their own selfish desires, which one cares about the life and death of the people?
For a sword of the Son of Heaven that is not worthy of the name, from the court to the people, how much has it been paid?
But Cao Cao knew very well in his heart that once the Sword of Heaven had regained the light of day, its story would not be over, there would only be more and more people staring at it, and there would only be more and more conspiracies pestering it, so the responsibility on his body would become greater and greater, and the burden would become heavier and heavier!
What's ridiculous is that now the sword of the Son of Heaven in his hand has just come out of the 'thatched house', and his whereabouts are unknown, and now Zhang Mei and others are uncertain about their life and death, and they are highly poisonous, where should I go Cao Cao?
Just as Cao Cao was deep in thought, he suddenly heard Princess Sanssouci say, "Brother Cao, look at what is in front of you?"
