Chapter 52: Excalibur Unearthed
When everyone looked up, they saw a huge sun, shining down in the blue sky, and there was not even a cloud around them.
Jing Xiaoxian asked, "Is there only this one in the ballad?"
"Yes, there is only one song. Meng Mei also said, "Yes, this is it." ”
Jing Xiaoxian said: "That's a little difficult to do. ”
"What's so hard?"
"The song only says that on the day of the summer solstice, look for it according to the projection of the sun shining on the drum tower, but the sun will also run from east to west in one day, and the projection of the drum tower will also be a line, and it is also very difficult to find according to this line. ”
Meng Mei said: "As long as there are clues, please ask the little fairy girl to help us calculate this line." ”
Jing Xiaoxian said, "I'll try it." ”
So Jing Xiaoxian squatted on the ground, using a branch as a pen, concentrating and deducing carefully, and after about half an hour, she drew a straight line on the ground.
After the painting was finished, Jing Xiaoxian said: "You see, this is a straight line formed by the drum tower under the projection of the sun from sunrise in the morning to sunset in the evening. ”
Seeing that this straight line was extending in the east and west directions, about twenty zhang long, the Meng Wei brothers couldn't help but shake their heads and said, "What can this straight line mean, we can't dig up all the places below this straight line!"
Jing Xiaoxian said: "According to my understanding, the true dragon lives in the middle of the earth, and the Son of Heaven lives in the middle of the country, this is the same reason, I think, you might as well dig in the middle of this straight line, there may be a harvest." ”
Meng Wei was silent, his mood was complicated at this time, he didn't want others to know the secrets of these three divine swords, but at the same time, he wanted to know the truth as soon as possible, it was the kind of ambivalence that he was anxious to see and didn't want to see the result.
Meng Mei thought relatively simply, and said, "Then let's do it, just give it a try." ”
So Meng Mei ordered more than a dozen of his subordinates, each with a shovel and a shovel, to dig down in the middle of this line segment.
I didn't expect that the excavation was not deep, and when it was less than two people, a long box had already been dug up. The color of the box was pitch black, and I didn't know whether it was wood or iron, but when the box was lifted, everyone knocked on it with their hands, and it was silent, as if the fingers were playing cotton.
There is a lock in the middle of the box, the lock has been rusted and broken for a long time, Meng Wei made the first move, with a flick of his hand, the lock should fall to the ground, and the lid of the black box will automatically pop open with a "bang", which startled everyone.
After the lid of the box popped open, a fine light shot straight into the sky, shaking the sun's rays much dimmer. After a long time, the essence in the box was slightly weak, and when everyone looked down, they saw that what was stored in the box was indeed a sword.
I saw this sword:
The sword body turns with your heart, and the whole body is free, this iron is extraordinary iron, and the good work is exercised. The ancient samadhi fire, the old Jun furnace is the pool, the sword body is marked with its name, and the ancient seal is the word "Qingtian". Divine sword he is the leader, and when the time comes, he will be a famous general and save the world.
A good sword indeed.
"Optimus Sword!" Meng Wei couldn't help but say these three words, although the words were not much, but they contained countless admiration.
Meng Mei said, "You go down and look for it again, and there are two more." ”
The guards said, "General Mengmei, we have already rummaged around the area, and there is indeed no one, only this one." ”
Jing Xiaoxian muttered: "This is a bit strange, three divine swords, how can you only find this one? Could it be that the name of this sword is called 'Three Divine Swords'? Unlikely." "Look closely at the pit where the Excalibur was excavated, there seems to be something faintly moving in the pit, I can't see what it is, Jing Xiaoxian immediately jumped into the pit.
The bottom of the pit is about a foot deep from the ground, and the moisture is very heavy.
In the damp air, Jing Xiaoxian noticed that it was an earthworm moving, this earthworm was slightly larger than the usual earthworm, and it was moving in the direction pointed by the tip of the sword according to the position where the sword was originally buried.
Generally speaking, earthworms move slowly, but this earthworm moves extremely fast, faster than Jing Xiaoxian imagined.
Jing Xiaoxian immediately realized: "This earthworm likes the aura of the sword, and the Optimus Sword has been excavated, so the earthworm has to find another place to live, that is, to find another sword, so according to the direction of the earthworm, it will not be a problem to find the other two swords." ”
Thinking of this, Jing Xiaoxian felt that she couldn't delay any longer, if the earthworm burrowed into the soil, it would not be easy to be found, so she shouted to the top: "Miss Mengmei, send two people down!"
Meng Mei and Meng Wei didn't know what Jing Xiaoxian had found below, so they had to follow her instructions and send two guards down.
The two guards came down and asked Jing Xiaoxian, "Little fairy girl, what happened?"
Jing Xiaoxian said: "You two look there, look at that earthworm, do it slowly, don't frighten it, follow it and dig slowly." ”
The two guards nodded in agreement and dug in the direction the earthworm was heading.
But to the surprise of the two guards, the two of them were also young and strong men, and they worked very hard, but they could not keep up with the earthworm's progress in any case, and they saw that the earthworm was about to burrow into the soil and could not be found.
Jing Xiaoxian looked very anxious, and said to one of the guards, who was a little slower, "You give me the shovel." ”
Jing Xiaoxian held a shovel in his hand and dug it with his own hands, and at this time he had dug far away in the direction of oblique down, and formed a big hole in the pit.
The sunlight was no longer shining in, and it was pitch black.
When in the world of illusion in the mirror, the mirror fairy often practiced at night and developed a kind of ability to see things secretly, so it was not difficult to dig in this situation.
What's more, Jing Xiaoxian has superb internal strength, and the shovel moves like flying, which is much faster than the young guard's movement.
It didn't take long for the earthworms to stop.
Jing Xiaoxian dug a shovel next to the earthworm's stoppage, touched a soft object, the same material as the pitch-black box he had just touched, and thought, "This is it, this is the second divine sword." He whispered, "Come here, both of you." ”
The two guards walked forward with one foot deep and one shallow, and walked to Jing Xiaoxian's side.
Jing Xiaoxian said, "You guys carry this box out too, be careful." ”
The two guards did as they said, and moved the pitch-black box outside, side by side with the box containing the first Optimus Sword.
And when the two guards put down the box and raised their eyes, they suddenly found that General Meng Wei's face was solemn, as if he was sad and angry, angry and hateful, and he didn't know what was going on.
They didn't know that when the two of them were digging underneath, General Meng Wei wanted to take out the Optimus Sword from the black box, but it was so heavy that he couldn't pick it up at all.
Meng Wei is also a young hero, his strength is much greater than that of ordinary people, and he also believes that he is powerful, and he does not take ordinary weapons in his eyes, and the sword he usually uses is three times heavier than ordinary swords.
But Meng Wei had nothing to do about the Optimus Sword, and the most incomprehensible thing for him was that the sword was not very heavy when it was carried by a person in a black lacquer box, but it was even more difficult to take the sword out of the black lacquer box, just like the sword and the black lacquer box were connected.
The two guards rarely saw General Meng have such an expression, and they didn't dare to ask more, so they obediently stood aside.
At this time, Jing Xiaoxian below had already pointed to the third sword according to the earthworm's guidance, and called people down: "Send two more people down, Meng Mei, General Meng Wei, send two more people down!"
The voice is deep and far-reaching, and I don't know how far Jing Xiaoxian has advanced the project in this moment.
Meng Wei said with a dark face, "You two, go down again." He pointed to the two guards who had just come up.
The two guards went down again, and after a short time, they brought out the third sword box, and this time, Jing Xiaoxian also walked up.
There is mud and sewage all over the body, and even the face is all over it, which is quite unsightly.
And the guards felt that the appearance of the little fairy girl in the mirror who was covered with sludge and sewage was more intimate than her usual pale face, and there were some fireworks in the world.
The three sword boxes were placed side by side, the lids were all opened, the three swords were similar in shape, but the size and color were slightly different, the first one found was called the Heavenly Sword, the widest and longest, light gray, the second was called the Diguang Sword, which was slightly shorter by one inch, and was earthy yellow, and the third was called the Tongren Sword, which was one inch shorter than the Diguang Sword, dark green.
The three swords were of the same nature, all of them looked like they were inside a box, and no one could pick up any of them, whether it was Meng Wei, Meng Mei and Jing Xiaoxian.
Jing Xiaoxian said: "I am now a little skeptical that these three swords are not held by hand, or if they are simply tools used for practice, and another method needs to be found." ”
Meng Mei shook her head and said, "Looking at the appearance of these three sword essences, and then looking at their own sharpness, they should be weapons in their hands, but the strength of a few of us is not enough." ”
Jing Xiaoxian nodded, thinking in her heart: "I don't know if Han Jiangliu can use these swords." "I was trying to explain this idea to General Meng Wei.
The guards under Mengwei Li Jingui said: "Come, bring these three swords, along with the sword box, to the general's palace." ”
The guards obeyed the order, and with the Meng Wei brothers and sisters and Jing Xiaoxian, several people worked in groups, carrying the three boxes, and returned to the General's Mansion in the center of Lejin City.
After this period of hectic commotion, it was already dark.
Returning to the General's Mansion, Meng Mei took Jing Xiaoxian to take a bath and change clothes, while Meng Wei sat down in the center of the lobby, a few swords were placed on the ground in front of him, and Meng Wei was in a daze at a few swords.
This is the secret that has been passed down from generation to generation, and now the secret has been discovered by himself, but it is better not to discover it.
