Chapter 15 Chapter 15 Descendants of the Water God

The whole process is just a matter of minutes, but we seem to have passed a century.My back was wet, and Lao Zhong also wiped the sweat from his forehead. "Boy, come here." The old man beckoned to me, and I ran over quickly. "How much shark oil do you have?" I quickly touched my waist, Lao Liutou still gave me half a pot of shark oil, he took it without saying a word, opened it and exposed it to my face and naked body. Apply on the skin. I don’t know why, but after leaving Han’s Mausoleum, the merman oil always exudes a foul smell. Although I have been nauseated, but thinking about those vicious monkeys, I still hold back my nausea and let the old man wipe these greasy things On the body.

The old man took a look at Wang Kui when he was in front of him. Wang Kui and Lu Qiang were a little embarrassed, but they still accepted the old man's smearing. The old man smeared some on the injured clothes on the ground and told us to wait until it was dry before smearing. . Seeing that the tension came to an end and the old man was a little out of breath, I pretended to be very courteous and went to help the old man, and asked him unintentionally: "Why are these tomb guard ghosts afraid of these fires? Why do they like to eat salt?" Huh?" I intentionally bit down the word "tomb-guarding river ghost" very hard, and the old man was really fooled.

He rolled my eyes at me, helped me to catch my breath, and taught me: "This is not a tomb-guarding river ghost. This is a water monkey. It usually eats salt and lives in water. It has a violent temper and is aggressive. It used to be in our Yellow River Basin. There are many such animals living in the Huaihe River Basin. The common people at that time had no knowledge, so they called them water ghosts, He Bo, and worshiped them as water gods. It is said that they like beautiful girls, and that is why He Bo married a daughter. story." When Lao Zhong said this, I answered: "Is this why Ximen Bao once married He Bo?"

Old Zhong nodded, "At that time, in order to make money, some gods and witches deceived the foolish people, saying that the lack of rain was caused by these monsters living in the river, and asked the common people to marry their daughters to them. Some people secretly bribed the gods to prevent their daughters Marry Hebo, and those who have no money, the gods will dip thick salt under the bamboo mat, put the girl on it, and the water monkeys at the bottom of the river will gather under the bamboo mat to eat the salt under the bamboo mat The people on the shore looked like a group of monsters in the river holding the girl. After the salt was eaten, they scattered away, and the girl drowned in the water. Some pretty girls abducted."

Speaking of this, Lao Zhong smiled strangely, and said softly, "According to the records, a girl was kidnapped by this kind of river ghost, and was rescued later. The method of ghosts has been passed down from generation to generation, but in recent years, these water monkeys have become less and less, so this method has long been forgotten." Song Xudong, who had been holding back all this time, suddenly said, "Mr. Zhong, didn't Mr. Zhong say that these things are descendants of the water god?" What?Descendants of the water god?I like to listen to these gossips the most, and I suddenly regain my energy. No matter what time it is, I urge Lao Zhong to talk about it.

Song Xudong once saw this kind of monster in an ancient book, and asked Professor Fan, who told him that it was a descendant of the water god. "Old Fan will talk nonsense about the descendant of the water god." Old Zhong curled his lips. At that time, Gonggong, the god of water, refused to accept Zhu Rong, the god of fire, to enjoy human sacrifices. He fought against Zhu Rong and was defeated by the god of fire. "Historical Records Bu San Huang Ben Ji" records that the water god Gong Gong rebelled and fought with the fire god Zhu Rong.Gonggong was defeated by Zhu Rong. He was so angry that he hit the Buzhou Mountain, the pillar of the western world, with his head, causing the sky to collapse and the water of the Milky Way to flow into the world.Nuwa couldn't bear the suffering of human beings, so she refined five-color stones to mend the sky.Although Gonggong has brought endless disasters to people, the fire god Zhurong did not kill the tribe and tribesmen of the water god, but exiled them into the water and strictly ordered them not to go ashore forever. Descendants of workers.Wuzhiqi is a water god of Huaizuo subdued by Dayu when he was controlling the water. He was originally a monkey spirit with great powers, but he was locked up at the foot of Guishan Mountain in Huaiyin. Qu descendants.

After listening to this narration, we are already confused, and all of us have returned to the age of ancient mythology. After Lao Zhong finished speaking, he stared intently at Wang Kui and Lu Qiang who were dodging. Although these two boys had been running for a long time just now, they didn't show any signs of fright. Two people have seen this kind of thing and have experience of successful escape. However, before there is no definite evidence, nothing can be done to these two people. Now that the barrier they can rely on is gone, I didn't expect that the illusion that the Wang family of Hejian regards as a treasure is not worth mentioning in front of Lao Zhong.Not only did he fail to fascinate Lao Zhong, but was tricked by Lao Zhong.

When Wang Kui saw this situation, he simply told the truth: "Uncle Shi, my nephew was offended just now, but it has reached this point. You can kill or cut me up if you want, but I beg you to save my cousin." Live, as long as we take off, we will all surrender to you." Although the words were mellow, the boy's hands were never idle. He scratched all over his body with surprisingly fast movements, while the boy from the Lu family next to him remained silent. Old Zhong kept looking at him in silence, and suddenly asked him, "Is it itchy? Is it itchy?" As a result, the two of them replied in unison: "Itch!" The two were suddenly stunned, and then looked at each other with a shocked expression on their faces. The cynical expression on Wang Kui's face was gone, and neither was Lu Qiang. He pretended to be wood again, but looked at the old clock in front of him in surprise.

Old Zhong used the spotlight in his hand to look at the thirty-six golden armored warriors in the tomb hall one by one, nodded while watching, and then came back with a secret smile on his face. "Do you feel itchy from the heart, want to scratch but can't?" Old Zhong asked slowly. The two nodded in unison, and a gasp could even be heard. "Do you feel irritable all over your body, as if you want to peel off the skin?" Old Zhong still had the tone of a Mongolian doctor. The two remained silent, looking at each other with a hint of terror in their eyes. "Yes." "Yes." The two were puzzled.

"Have you found the Kunlong Terrace?" Old Zhong asked again suddenly. "Ah?" The two said in unison: "No, we didn't find the Kunlong Terrace." The long-lost old fox smile reappeared on Lao Zhong's face: "How do you know that there is a sleepy dragon platform in this underground palace?" The two of them were dumbfounded, and they missed it all of a sudden. "You two idiots, play tricks with him, he can trick you into leaving no pants left." Looking at the expressions of these two idiots, I secretly despise them. Old Zhong smiled, and pointed at them lightly: "Don't play dumb with me, and don't play smart with me." Then he asked Song Xudong to turn on the lights and re-examine the tomb hall.

This is a small underground palace. According to the overall structure, it is a hexagonal cylindrical hall. On the outside of the hall are six stone gates. This underground palace. Inside the six gates are the four escorting generals and the two great warriors in front of the palace. The roof of the palace is painted with seven stars illuminating the Big Dipper.On the east wall is the rising sun, and the three-legged golden crow flutters its wings in the sun, but the golden crow does not have the slightest light. To the west is the laurel toad, but its position is in the wrong place, which looks nondescript and very strange. Lao Zhong asked Song Xudong and Zhao Xu to set up the man lying on the ground, and said to Wang Kui and Lu Qiang: "We must leave. If you have brought something, I advise you to put it back quickly. If I find it up there, You won't be able to leave." Both of them looked happy: "If we return the things, you will let us go." The old man nodded solemnly, pointed at us solemnly and said, "They were all saved by me. After reining in their horses, they are now graduate students of the Institute of Cultural Relics." Except for Song Xudong, we collectively gave him big eyes. Wang Kui and Lu Qiang glanced at each other, gritted their teeth, as if they had made up their minds for a long time, and finally glanced at the person we lifted up and nodded: "Okay, let's put it back." I saw the two of them return to the place where they were hiding just now, and took out something from it. There were nine jade dragons coiled and rising above it, and a bright pearl was between the nine dragons. Aggressive metallic sound. Lao Zhong and I were surprised at the same time: "Where did you find the Jiulong Yuxi brand?" They both shrugged helplessly and pointed to our feet.The Nine Dragons Jade Seal Plaque is what was contained in the Nine Treasures Dragon Seal Box given to Gao Gong in the legend. Compared with the royal status of the Nine Treasures Dragon Seal Box, this Nine Dragons Jade Seal Plaque was only made by later generations to replace the Jade Seal. It is a substitute, but it is also a rare treasure in the world. "Just put it on the ground?" I was a little surprised. Could it be that this thing is just placed on the ground for no reason? Wang Kui shook his head, and Lu Qiang, who had been silent all this time, said, "This thing is underground. There is another layer under our feet. Unfortunately, we can't get in. I only dug a hole." We and Lao Zhong were all stunned, there is actually a layer of space right under our feet? Wang Kui and Lu Qiang took us to the place where they spoke.I saw a three-inch-square hole on the ground, with neat shovel marks, smooth copper edges, and fish-scale-shaped hole walls. Old Zhong couldn't help but glance at Lu Qiang with admiration, thinking that this young man is quite talented. The private life at home is well learned. Old Zhong took out a set of fish skin jackets, which were the old tomb robber's sharp weapon against poisonous substances. Once he put it on his head, he was ready to slip down. I casually glanced back, only to find that Wang Kui and Lu Qiang were looking at each other. With a glance, a weird smile appeared on his face. I was startled, could it be that there was some kind of hidden weapon inside, and before I had time to stop it, the old clock had already slipped into the hole.The others stared nervously at the hole, where the old clock seemed to slide farther and farther until the sound could no longer be heard. On the surface, this hole is absolutely inconspicuous, and it is just hidden behind a protruding stone bench. If you don't pay attention, even holding a torch will be covered by the shadow of the stone bench.Although the light in the tomb hall is very bright, it can't compare with natural light after all. It has been almost ten minutes since the old clock slid down, and there is still no news. Song Xudong and I exchanged glances, and quietly closed the passages leading to the two stone gates. In the current situation, only Wang Kui and Lu Qiang is most familiar with the situation here. If the two of them have bad intentions, it is not impossible for us to be silently turned into "living corpses" by them. Death, if they insist on leaving this injured companion behind, it is not impossible to trick us into the trap they designed one by one.After all, that Nine Dragon Seal treasure box was enough for the two of them to laugh so hard that they were hemiplegic. The more I think about it, the more I feel chilly, the more I look at these two guys, the more they are not things. At this moment, I feel that any action of the two of them is very suspicious. Another 20 minutes passed, and the old clock was still silent. Song Xudong was in a hurry, and asked me to hold the spotlight. I put the gas mask on my face and was about to follow. I grabbed him and pointed the spotlight at him. Wang Kui and Lu Qiang who were watching from the side. "Both of you, go down one!" I said to them both coldly. "Ah!" The two were stunned at the same time, and they glanced at each other, and a look of horror flashed by. I saw this subtle expression, and it confirmed my thinking that there must be something wrong in this hole. I kept regretting in my heart, why is this old man more reckless than a young man, he just slid down without even looking at it, in case there is something unclear in it, the old guy hangs here, we can go back How to explain. Just when I was thinking about how to force these two guys down, I heard the Zhao family child scream, the hoarse voice was like a cock with its neck stuck. I looked up at him, he was staring at the ground in panic, holding the electric scorpion in one hand, and pointing to the ground with the other trembling slightly, that direction was the hole where the old clock slid down just now.
