Volume 1 Greedy Wolf Chapter 85 Waste
The next day, over the Jiuqu Holy River, an aerial platform appeared impressively.
Starting from one part of the Phoenix Guard base camp, a long plank stretches out towards Hanoi. At the end of the land, nothing is fixed, and the landing is about three meters. At one end of Hanoi, it is about 300 meters long. The width of the plank is only enough for two people to walk side by side.
Starting at the Hanoi end of the plank, a ladder is built that slopes upwards to accommodate three people walking side by side, with a meter-long guardrail on either side. The ladder leads directly to the coffin of Kowloon. At the end of the staircase, around the sarcophagus, the bottom floor is a wide platform, each side of which can accommodate about a thousand people. The platform consists of a ladder and an adjacent platform, with a total of five floors.
None of the planks were joined by hand or fixed with anything else, just put on top of each other like that.
The people of the Phoenix Guard, the people who got up early and rushed over, looked at this ingenious wooden platform in the air, and they were all dumbfounded. Even if the Jindan Realm monk saw this scene, he couldn't help but frown.
Gradually, the crowd began to talk more. The central question is: Do people dare to go?
However, this doubt will soon be confirmed. Because while everyone was actively discussing, one man and one horse had already walked on the wooden bridge. Everyone suddenly held their breath and stared wide-eyed, for fear of missing something.
Walking on the wooden plank, Chen Tianhong felt very stable and strong, and the white horse on one side was also like walking on flat ground. Walking across the wooden bridge and stepping up the ladder, it is still very stable, but the ladder is really a bit high. If someone is afraid of heights, it must not be suitable.
Coming to the platform, Chen Tianhong walked in a counterclockwise direction, carefully observing the mysterious sarcophagus. This was the first time he approached the sarcophagus, and he realized that he was already very familiar with the sarcophagus. Even the outermost layer of the sarcophagus at the beginning has a rough impression.
When I walked to the northwest corner, I saw an old black man sitting on a wooden ladder, drinking alone.
"The seniors' wonderful skills are terrifying to the world!
"I'm afraid you don't think so in your heart?" the old man said indifferently, "Tell me what you really think?" I think you are really not a simple person, the old man is very interested!"
"Such a wooden platform must have appeared 3,000 years ago, and its mysteries have been passed down from generation to generation. This sarcophagus has long been found by the Terran monks, but for some reason, they have not left a detailed word. The younger generation thinks that the strangeness is here. ”
"True cleverness is when looking at the simplest. These words seem to be a famous saying. The old man said, "You're right, it's true. What do you think is strange......"
The old man suddenly drank a dozen sips of wine, and after the last big sip of wine was swallowed slowly, he continued: "Three thousand years ago, there was a hundred-person tomb robber team, they called themselves 'Faqiu Gate', and they were known for finding all kinds of relics. At that time, one of their genius leaders was a monk who was extremely proficient in water. During one of his adventures, he saw a sarcophagus at the bottom of the river. Immediately convened the doorman to discuss the salvage of the sarcophagus.
The genius leader pondered and came up with the amazing idea of building a pavilion at the bottom of the river. In the end, he achieved his own initiative and successfully led the group to the sarcophagus. Under the day and night discussion of a group of geniuses, soon, the sarcophagus was connected to two layers.
But at this moment, something mysterious happened. The elite of the 'Faqiumen' began to disappear inexplicably. In the end, only the genius leader remained. Even if he was a genius, in the face of that strange situation, he decisively chose to give up and retreat.
But when he returned home, he found that all his family members had died, and the death was extremely hideous and terrifying. After all, he is a genius and has extraordinary courage, and upon closer inspection, he found that his family members were all scared to death. He immediately thought of the families of the other brothers, and went to check them out one by one. Without exception, the death phase and time of death of hundreds of families are surprisingly consistent.
The genius quickly calmed down, and in order to hide the unknown fear, he destroyed the corpse overnight, eliminating all traces. As a last resort, he destroyed his true appearance and cultivation, entered an ordinary Orion family, and barely survived.
For a long time, even a genius like him could not understand what was going on. He has never been able to explain why the mysterious things that scared his family to death did not come to him. It wasn't until he was dying that he discovered the secret. The reason why he was able to live alone was because he had a 'copper seal'.
Therefore, when he was dying, he left his last words of 'only giving birth to a boy, not a girl'.
His descendants, in the pursuit of dozens of generations, have not found any clues. Even if it was the 'Faqiu Gate' founded by the ancestors, what future generations know is also known to the world. ”
Now, when his descendants see the sarcophagus rising from the bottom of the river, they are afraid that they will also be frightened by the mysterious curse, and dare not think too much. Chen Tianhong calmly answered, "I just don't know if the monsters that scared hundreds of families to death back then have been inherited." ”
"Yes!" said the old black man after taking a few sips of wine, "The ancestor said that the monster would be inseparable from its descendants. Therefore, when he was dying, he was blind to death. Because he was sure that if he could find the monster, he would be able to get rid of it. However, the matter did not come to his wish, and he could only cry blood to warn future generations that he must never have the slightest connection with the sarcophagus. ”
The old man shook the empty wine gourd and said, "Take the money and do the work." I'm gone, and I'll leave the matter to you. As he spoke, he got up and left.
"Greedy Wolf Guard's four masters, haven't you thought about going back to Greedy Wolf Guard?" Chen Tianhong said calmly, the old man didn't talk, didn't stop, and left directly, he continued alone: "I will definitely solve this puzzle!"
"You are a person who does not lack self-confidence in humility. However, this three-thousand-year-old mystery will be hell if you really solve it. ”
"According to the old contract of the greedy wolf guard, I ask you to do one thing, and you must not refuse, right?"
"What's the matter, let's talk about it!"
"Help me restore the sarcophagus to its original appearance!"
When the old man heard this, he walked back again, his face finally appeared a kind of majesty and seriousness, and he shook his head lightly and said, "The power of your bloodline is enough to suppress that mysterious monster, but your brothers may not be able to. I advise you to stop!"
"I will definitely kill 'it'! Even if I sacrifice my brother, I will unravel the mystery of the fall of the Greedy Wolf Guard! No matter what happened to our ancestors, I hope that the ancient 'Greedy Wolf Contract' will still be in effect once. Chen Tianhong's calm eyes gradually revealed the feeling of death, "Please ask Senior Qiu to help me restore the original appearance of the sarcophagus." ”
"I don't think you can compare to your second-generation ancestor 'Xi He Gong'!"
"So what? Do I have to back down?"
"Bring pen and paper!"
* * *
After returning from the aerial platform, Chen Tianhong did not find anything. On weekdays, he still tried his best with Cao Cao and others to restore the original appearance of the sarcophagus. With the help of the platform, everyone can come to the sarcophagus in person and scrutinize it carefully.
The sarcophagus had no entrance, but a gap was opened at the top of the sarcophagus. No one who entered through this gap, no matter how high or low their cultivation was, never came out again. So, several people gradually agreed that this is a complete sarcophagus carved from a huge stone. The secret hidden inside is most likely a shocking secret from the primeval period.
At the same time, gradually, everyone accepted the authenticity of the wooden platform, and some of the brave monks were still brave enough to climb the platform together to observe the mysterious sarcophagus.
Although the Phoenix Guard guarded the entrances and exits, they did not prevent everyone from entering and exiting freely.
On June 15, the bright full moon hung in the sky, illuminating the heavens and the earth like day. Chen Tianhong sat in a makeshift pavilion by the river, calmly gazing at the starry sky. Since the moon and rain realm, he especially likes to watch the wind and clouds during the day and the stars at night. As long as there is plenty of time, he will.
At the end of the night, Phoenix Wei also cleared the surrounding field early. It seems that the surroundings of the Phoenix Guard camp are more peaceful.
At this time, two figures quietly appeared and quickly came to the pavilion. The people who came were Zhen Buyi and Pu Siyi. After Zhen Buyi handed over a few folded pieces of paper to Chen Tianhong, he quickly left and returned to their tent to rest.
Chen Tianhong slowly opened the first folded piece of paper, and suddenly saw a familiar face leaping on the paper. Then, when I opened the second one, there were small courtyards drawn on it, and there were one hundred and one families. The third depicts a hairless fawn, as if it had been skinned alive, but still alive. The fourth picture shows a coffin with a wolf's head and a snake's tail.
Slowly, Chen Tianhong's emotions became excited, and he saw that his slowly clenched hands gave birth to flames, burning the paper to ashes. Then, he turned his gaze back to the starry sky, and countless stars poured into his eyes. His state of mind gradually calmed down.
The holy river is surging and the starry sky is brilliant.
It was a perfect evening.
The next day, at dawn, the sky was clear and the breeze was mild, indicating that it was a good day.
Chen Tianhong was in good spirits, and went to Mingyue Tower with Mi Yuande and others, ordered a table of exquisite wine and food, and tasted it slowly. It seems that he has completely forgotten what he brought Phoenix Guard here for.
Undoubtedly, once the goal is lost, it is easy for people to enter a state of laziness and slackness. This is probably a natural disadvantage that the human race is born with.
The days that followed, like the beautiful days of this day, passed peacefully. Is there anyone who can really seize the day to fight, to struggle, to take a solid step for the lofty ideals in their hearts? Probably, probably, maybe there is much less than nothing.
The ancient sages admonished: Wasting time is shameful, and it is even more despicable!
Whenever someone has a whim, the head is full of warnings and famous sentences, and they motivate themselves over and over again. But when the sun rises the next day, how should life be wasted, or how should it be wasted? Anyway, the tiny power of an individual can't change anything, right?
In the quiet days, the Nine Dragons Heavenly Coffin gradually became a "tourist attraction" on the Shenzhou continent. Because there is no threshold restriction, even ordinary mortals who have no Taoism, as long as they are brave enough, they can climb the ladder and see the true face of the heavenly coffin.
As Wei Shuai, Chen Tianhong's work is also very monotonous. He would occasionally go to the heavenly coffin to have a look, and the rest of the time, most of the time, he would stay in the tent and carefully study the sarcophagus diagram. Of course, it was him, Cao Cao and others who figured it out. The other, he never intended to show.
It seems that he is not in a hurry at all. Anyway, the Daoling Master Ancestor, who was really in charge of this matter, never showed up. So who would be in a hurry.
Floating clouds and dogs, the years are golden.
In the blink of an eye, the time has come to July 7.
The weather on this day was sunny and clear.
Because it was a special day, the number of boys and girls who appeared around the Nine Dragons Heavenly Coffin was much more than before. Among the countless handsome men and women, a cold and handsome young man gradually became the gathering point of countless eyeballs as soon as he appeared.
A young man, eight feet long, his eyes seem to contain the sun and the moon, and it is difficult to hide the extreme chic and handsome in the cold. Slowly walked towards the Nine Dragons Heavenly Coffin. Turning a blind eye to the countless gazes that come to them, whether they are gentle like water or prickly.
At the same time, Chen Tianhong also walked out of the tent, walked towards the Kowloon Heavenly Coffin. The white horse on his side is like a quiet and faithful personal guard, very intimate.
Compared with the cold handsome guy, what Chen Tianhong can attract people's attention has always been the giant sword on his shoulder. Because his secret is being known to everyone. Fortunately, he didn't care about all kinds of eyes, just walked calmly.
When he walked to the head of the wooden bridge, he couldn't help but raise his head and look at the wooden platform on the high place. I saw a figure that looked like an ice sculpture, walking through the last step of the ladder. He calmly looked away, quietly walked towards the wooden bridge, and walked smoothly towards the heavenly coffin.
