Volume 2 Capture the Sword Chapter 96 Ancestral Relic

Could it be that the legendary pearl of the night is inside?

Cao Cao became excited, waving the wooden rafters to continue poking off more green bricks.

Suddenly, the old man stopped and said, "Shaoxia, stop for the time being." ”

Cao Cao thought that there was a situation, so he hurriedly stopped to see what the old man Feng had ordered.

"The old man asks you, do you know why there are so many images of candles and nine yin painted on the walls on both sides?"

"It's not simple, Brother Cao said just now, this candle nine yin is a bad thing, it must be going to encroach on the night pearl. "Princess Sanssouci is quick to talk.

"No", the old man shook his head, "On the contrary, the old man thinks that it is guarding the pearl of the night. ”

Cao Cao suddenly remembered what Xiahoudun had said, all the treasures of the heavens, there are guardians around, he is a faction of touching gold, quite experienced, what he said naturally makes sense.

The words of the old man coincide with it.

Calm down, everyone, if there is really a night pearl in it, it is hard to guarantee that there will not really be a candle and nine yin.

It was a cruel and tyrannical thing, if it was true, not to mention Cao Cao and the three of them, even if it doubled a few times, it would not be enough for it to plug between its teeth.

Hearing that there might be a monster inside, Princess Sanssouci subconsciously leaned towards Cao Cao.

Cao Cao was skeptical, Candle Jiuyin is a mythical beast in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", it is just a legend, and nine times out of ten it will not really exist in reality.

Even if there were anything like it, where did Qin Shi Huang find it?

Taking a step back, even if there was one in it, more than 400 years have passed, can it live for so long? What does it eat to survive?

Cao Cao didn't believe in those ethereal, wind-chasing words, just legends, they were all stories told by people with ulterior motives.

He picked up the rafters and was about to continue poking the bricks, but Princess Sanssouci pulled the corner of his coat and shook his head at him again and again.

But there are so many portraits of candles and nine yin painted on the walls on both sides, which is clearly reminding people not to act rashly, so Princess Sanssouci is faintly uneasy in her heart and does not dare to let Cao Cao take risks.

Cao Cao smiled: "Princess, since this night pearl is your family's thing, maybe Qin Shi Huang left it here, just waiting for you to pick it up, since there is fate, why not take it?"

Princess Sanssouci still shook her head again and again: "Having said that, but Sanssouci has never heard of the Night Pearl, Senior Feng, are you sure that this Night Pearl is my Ying family's thing?"

Senior Feng pondered for a moment and said, "In that case, the old man will tell you a story." Of course, these old men are also hearsay, and they can't be taken seriously. ”

"The night pearl is also called the waiting pearl, which is a rare treasure that is born and raised. Legend has it that when Emperor Yan fought against Chi You, Chi You once invited Kui Long in the Great Wilderness Mountain to help fight, Kui Long can call the wind and rain, spit black fog in his mouth, Emperor Yan was defeated, and led the remnants of the defeated army to turn to the Yellow Emperor for help, and the Yellow Emperor also knew that Kui Long was powerful, so he listened to the advice of his subordinates and went to the East China Sea to help him, and asked his leader Ying Long to help. “

"The Shui Yu Kingdom is an ancient and mysterious clan tribe, and according to legend, its people live in the vast East China Sea, relying on fishing for a living, and have a very long lifespan. The ordinary people of the country are called the water dragon, the water dragon lives to be 500 years old and then incarnates into a dragon, and then lives 500 years old to incarnate into a dragon, at this time it gives birth to a kind of Danzhu in its body, called Neidan, which can absorb the essence of the sun and the moon and slowly grow in the dragon's body. It's a pity that once Neidan is born, their lifespan is almost at the end. “

"And there are some survivors, as long as they can last for another hundred years, grow double horns on the dragon's head, and become Ying Long, they can rely on Neidan to become immortal, but there are very few who can reach this stage, less than one in a thousand. At this time, the leader Ying Long has been a thousand years of Taoism, it is far away from the Yellow Emperor, the battle of Kui Long, the two show their magical powers, the sky is dark, the sun and the moon have no light, and they have been fighting for three days and three nights. “

In desperation, Ying Long spit out Neidan, shot out the brilliant brilliance of the curve, and finally dispelled the black mist of Kuilong, and the beaten Kuilong spit blood from his mouth and knelt on the ground to beg for mercy. Emperor Yan and Emperor Huang took advantage of the situation to join forces and finally defeated Chi You. It's just that once Ying Long spit out the inner pill, its power was greatly reduced, and without being prepared, it was attacked by the angry Kui Long, and was seriously injured, and the dying Ying Long also launched a fatal blow, almost scattering Kui Long's soul. Taking advantage of the defeat of both sides, Kui Long actually snatched Ying Long Neidan and escaped with injuries. “

"Many years have passed, and during the period of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period, there was a small country named Suiguo in the south of Chu State, which remained neutral because of the natural barrier of Hanging Li Mountain, and Chu State was busy fighting with other vassal states, so naturally it took care of him flawlessly, so Suiguo was able to preserve and barely survive in the cracks of the big powers. “

"One day, when the monarch of the country was visiting Hangli Mountain, he found a long-dead dragon in a cave on the top of the mountain, and it was strange that the body was not rotten. But the scene of its painful struggle before death is obvious, with compassion in his heart, he ordered someone to bury it, and when he was buried to carry the dragon, suddenly a Neidan fell out of its mouth, and the dim cave was suddenly like day, and the dragon was instantly corrupted and turned to dust. “

"This Neidan is what Kui Long snatched from Ying Long. After a few worships, he took away this inner Dan and named it the Night Pearl, which has been regarded as a national treasure since then, and the Chinese people call it the Waiting Pearl. The so-called sharp edge, will attract pretenders, with the country to get the news of the night pearl spread, with the country never expected, with the ancestors of the foundation will be destroyed in the hands of a night pearl, he wanted to offer treasure to survive, but the state of Chu has long had the heart of annihilation, so he took the opportunity to send a large army to crusade with the country on the grounds of not paying tribute, although the country stubbornly resisted desperately, but was still outnumbered, and eventually perished. “

This night pearl also fell into the hands of the king of Chu, and later Qin and Chu fought, Chu was defeated and retreated, and the night pearl was offered to sue for peace at the time of helplessness, and the Qin State intended to destroy Han Wei first, so it also borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, and waved the army north, and since then the night pearl has finally returned to the Qin State. ”

The old man of the wind chattered and said so much, and Cao Cao and Princess Sanssouci were dumbfounded when they heard it.

These...... Is it true?

How does it sound like a myth!

The eyes of the two were full of doubts, although the story was wonderful, but what was the Yellow Emperor, Chi You, and Kui Long, Ying Long, or something, this, aren't these all legends .....?

Why did there come out with the country later, and the state of Chu offered pearls to sue for peace, according to this, the pearl of this night really fell into the hands of the Qin State.

According to this reasoning, Qin Shi Huang is the king of a country, and naturally he has become the owner of the Night Pearl, and he may take it with him when he patrols Mount Tai in the east, and he may send someone to seal it in the tunnel when he is dying.

Senior Feng spread his hands, he had already said it just now, and he was also hearsay.

How likely is it?

But what is happening in front of you can't help but make people believe it, because behind this brick wall, it is very likely that there is the legendary pearl of the night.

The relics of the ancestors, and now the Ying family, there is only one descendant of Princess Sanssouci left.

To take, or not to take?

How can you not send an arrow on the string?

Cao Cao's luck dantian, his arms shouted force, the wooden rafters waved, the hole expanded rapidly, and soon a new world appeared in front of him.

In an instant, the light is brilliant and dazzling, which makes people's eyes extremely uncomfortable.

This is another ear chamber, smaller than the one outside, presumably poorly ventilated for years, and filled with the smell of decay and mildew.

The three of them held their breath and entered the ear room, only to see a high platform in the center with an open box on it, and the night pearl was lying quietly in it.

Just as he was about to step forward, he suddenly found an oversized 'giant snake' coiling in front of the stage.

The three of them were startled and subconsciously strengthened their vigilance. Could it be that this is the legendary Candle Jiuyin, the 'patron saint' of the night pearl?

The 'giant snake' did not move, and because of the dazzling white light, the three of them cautiously walked in, only to realize that it was nothing more than a snake bone.

It is indeed a 'giant snake', looking at the length of two or three zhang long, coiled in a circle around this high platform, and the snake's head hangs under the stage. But its flesh has long since been corrupted into mud, and I don't know how many years it has been here, and only a pile of white bones remains.

From this point of view, when Qin Shi Huang sent someone to seal it, he did release a snake.

It is indeed a snake, but it is difficult to say whether it is candlestick or not.

In fact, the high platform is not high, less than half of the chest, it is also made of big blue bricks, square, well-behaved, and extremely neat.

The box seemed to be made of brass, a foot square, and inside lay an egg-sized pearl of the night.

Soaring flames and radiant lights.

The Night Pearl, a rare treasure that only exists in legends, really appears alive in front of you.

Was it left by Qin Shi Huang?

The three of them stared wide-eyed, silently looking at the night pearl in the box, not knowing whether they should take it out immediately, even though the Feng seniors had walked the rivers and lakes for many years and had seen a wide range of things, they had no idea at this time.

"Princess, this is your belongings, so you might as well take them. Cao Cao said softly.

"Hmm", Princess Sanssouci responded, her hand stretched out halfway, still hesitating.

Seeing Cao Cao's encouraging gaze, she no longer hesitated, and took the Night Pearl in her hand.

Seeing the bright beads in her hand, she couldn't help but feel excited, this treasure is a relic left by the ancestors, four hundred years have passed, and it has finally returned to the hands of future generations.

Seeing what happened to her, Cao Cao couldn't help but think of his own life experience, the Sword of the Son of Heaven is his mission, and this night pearl may also be her mission.

"Congratulations to the princess, no matter what, the treasures left by your ancestors are finally meritorious, although it takes a long time in between, but after all, it is a wish, and the first emperor should be comforted. ”

Unexpectedly, the old man said: "In the old man's opinion, this night pearl seems to be an ominous thing, Kui Long got it and died, and then Chu got it and died in the country, everyone in the princess family was born with the night pearl pattern, which must have a secret that outsiders don't know." ”

In fact, Cao Cao and Princess Sanssouci also thought so in their hearts, Cao Cao was afraid that she would invisibly increase her psychological burden, so he said: "Things in the world, blessings and disasters are unpredictable, take this night pearl as an example, the Chu State will perish if it is taken, and the Qin State will prosper if it is taken away, it can be seen that everything is not absolute." “

Princess Sanssouci knew what he wanted, and returned him with a sweet smile.

Senior Feng looked at the pair of young people, smiled and shook his head. He saw that the brass box was antique, noble and elegant, and when he was interested, he reached out to take it.

But I found that I didn't take it, could it be that the box had grown to the platform?

He urged the qi of the dantian, his arm called force, and he lifted the box alive.

'Wow'

The box was picked up, but the green bricks around it fell.

A big deep hole is revealed!
