Chapter 156: The Adversary and the Woman
It turned out that "he" was not a son, but a woman.
When I was at the Dragon Gate Inn, Long Pei reminded me that the second of the four demons was the city lord of the Three Emperors, a woman who saw the head and the tail of the dragon. I won the battle against Long Pei and killed the black bear, but under this woman, it seems that I have no power to fight back.
What kind of devil is this?
I spat blood from my mouth and said indifferently, "You want to arrest me?"
"You're not stupid. Murong Bi, the city lord of the Three Imperial Cities, said with a smile, "I only asked you to do one thing. ”
"How do you know I'm going to come to the Three Emperors?"
"For I have arranged for people whom you have to ask for directions on every road you must pass. No matter how you go, you will eventually come to these Three Imperial Cities. ”
"We don't know each other, you went to such great lengths to find me, shouldn't you just do it with me?" I said stupidly.
Murong Bi said, "Let you go and help me open a tomb." ”
I was stunned.
She continued: "The knife you are holding is a dragon slaying knife, right? Do you know why it is rumored in the rivers and lakes that the dragon slaying knife commands the world, and you dare not obey?"
"Of course I do. I said, "This dragon slaying knife is a treasure of the farmer, and it can command three million soldiers to the farmer, is this considered a command to the world, and dare not obey?"
Murong Bi looked up to the sky and laughed, "What a ridiculous reason!" She laughed for a while before saying, "Do you know that this dragon slaying knife was originally the thing of Meng Tian, the first general under the throne of King Yingzheng of Qin? Later, he learned that the King of Qin had died, and Zhao Gao wanted him to die. Meng Tian drank poisoned wine in prison, but was rescued by the peasant leader and fled to the Xiongnu. When he was dying, Meng Tian made his own tomb and hid a big secret inside. And I, I want to know what this secret is?"
"Your martial arts are so high, what are you using me for?" I simply sat on the ground.
"His tomb can only be opened with a dragon slaying knife, which has been gone for more than four hundred years. And you, now the owner of this knife. Murong Bi looked at me, "Now that I've said it's clear enough, right?"
"Understood. ”
"So, there are only two paths for you to choose now," Murong Bi's eyes were cold, "Either follow me to open the tomb, or die now." ”
I sighed and muttered, "Is it my business to rob tombs?"
"Tomorrow, at the gate of the city, I will wait for you. As soon as she said that, she was gone.
I smiled wryly.
The next day, Murong Bi and I came to the Yellow River. According to her, Meng Tian's own tomb built after his death was on the wall of the Yellow River.
Murong Bi stared at the river, her body floating in the air, she suddenly drew her sword and slashed into the Yellow River. The water of the Yellow River, which has been flowing to the sea for thousands of years and never returning, is swimming against the current at this time and on this day. There is a fault in the river that has not been encountered in a century, revealing its true face in the cliff in front of me, and a whole wall of nine dragons hangs hideously above the Yellow River.
Nine dragons play with pearls, lifelike. After more than 400 years of surging river water, the dragon pattern is still clearly visible. The profound mystery of the carving was simply incredible.
But isn't this the tomb of the great general Meng Tian, and why is it engraved with nine dragons?
At the pinch, I was stunned.
"Let's go!" Murong Bi snorted softly and slapped me on the back, pushing me in front of the stone wall. She grabbed the bead that Nine Dragons were fighting for with one palm, and plunged it into the dragon wall a few inches, and a large mountain wall turned violently upside down, and before the water of the Yellow River could close, the two of us were smashed into the wall by the rotating wall.
Outside the Nine Dragon Wall, the water of the Yellow River finally closed again, covering the Nine Dragon Wall.
The river is still flowing.
Inside the wall, there is another world.
There was darkness in front of you. As soon as I entered it, my eyes couldn't adapt to it for a while, and I couldn't see anything. I was just pulled by Murong Bi, and after I stumbled, I fixed my eyes. I saw that in front of me was a corridor more than a foot wide, bottomless, and it was estimated that there was still a long distance.
Of course, I won't go ahead, I heard that this kind of ancient tomb is full of mechanisms, and if one of them is not careful, he will be pierced by ten thousand arrows. If you die here, you won't have more to gain than you gain.
Unexpectedly, the mother-in-law who owed the man to train didn't say a word, and kicked me to the front, and I had to fight up a few words and open the way in front.
As we were walking, we suddenly noticed that the road ahead seemed to merge from both sides, as if it was about to catch us. Murong Bi also frowned and said, "Organ Heshan?" She then said coldly: "If you don't want to die, hurry forward!"
I didn't care about the arrows at this time, and I scurried forward, but after a few steps, the mountain walls on both sides had already converged on me, sandwiching me in the center. I stretched out my arms, the longevity formula flowing through my body, and gritted my teeth to open the wall. It was so hard to move forward, and with each step he stepped into a deep hole in the ground that went deep into his ankles. The same is true for Murong Bi.
The interval between the mountains is getting shorter and shorter, and my ventilation opportunities are getting smaller and smaller, but there is still no sign of the end of the road. The arms are gradually sore, the air in the tomb is turbid, the yin is deep, I don't know how many times to block the mountain, there is a long-lost dazzle after practicing the knife, this is not a good sign.
I gritted my teeth and ran for a long time, and life and death were all in this breath.
Running to the end in one breath, the front suddenly opened up, and there was a white light dazzling. I hurriedly covered my eyes and looked forward, only to see a huge bronze door in front of me, about four zhang high and three zhang wide, with dense inscriptions engraved on the door. Murong Bi in the rear also snorted lightly, and rushed out of the valley in white, she finally had a little conscience, and let me leave Yongdao first, Rao is martial arts are superb, and the corners of her mouth are bloodshot.
After she came, she was so complete behind her that she couldn't see the way we came. Murong Bi looked calm, groping carefully on the bronze door, looking for the mechanism to open the bronze door.
But I stood there and looked at the cave. The white light emitted from the bronze door illuminates the entire cave, and it is a rather large place, estimated to hold 10,000 people. On the left side of the bronze gate is an earthen mountain, which is about eight zhang high, and on the right side is next to the mountain wall. The top of the head is like the sky, the dome is inlaid with beads that stretch like a bright starry sky, shining, the left and right stone walls and the ground are covered with small mirrors made of glazed polishing, intertwined with a hole of glow, take a closer look, those beads are faintly flowing, like the stars of the four seasons, the stars are moving. I was shocked, how can these beads survive for hundreds of years?
The ancients said: "People are old and vermilion". No matter how bright the beads are, they are like the life span of a person, and they will naturally turn yellow and deteriorate after a long time. But now, the beads in the sky are still as bright as ever, if not for hundreds of years.
It must be known that some people say that pearls and the like, after a few years, will naturally turn yellow and deteriorate. Originally, I was not used to seeing the world blindly worshipping the past and depreciating the present, but now that I look at it, it is not completely unreasonable.
Murong Bizai carefully touched the bronze door several times, and it seemed that he didn't find anything. When he saw me looking up at the stars, he stood beside me and looked at the stars in the sky.
After a long scrutiny, she stretched out her left hand and traced the twists of the star map in the air.
I looked at it for a long time and said, "The star map in the sky is like a array. ”
"What array?" a bright light appeared in Murong Bi's eyes.
"Big Dipper Seven Star Array. I said uncertainly.
PS: I've been thinking about the bronze giant door in "Tomb Robbery Notes".
