Chapter 22 Chapter 22 Donghuang Bell

The black black gold has completely melted, and a very small thing is exposed inside, which seems to be a small bell.There are many colors on this small bell, which is shiny and probably made of some kind of rare metal.There are many patterns engraved on the small bell. We took a closer look and found that those patterns are like clouds and streams, which are the same as those carved in this temple.At this time, I suddenly remembered that the mural in the dark ape cave had a small bell painted on it, which was exactly the same as this thing. "Look quickly, why does the Mie Quen Hua keep flowing out black water?" Xinhong's position was facing me, so he discovered the abnormality of the Mie Quen Hua.

After we heard the sound, we all turned our heads away, wanting to see what happened to Mie Quen Hua.The root of this flower is constantly emitting black liquid, which has accumulated into a pool of sewage.When the black liquid overwhelmed the Quenching Flower, the black liquid actually started to burn. In an instant, a ten-meter-high flame rose into the sky, and the temple was instantly illuminated.We were dumbfounded. It turned out that the black liquid could ignite flames, which no one expected.The black liquid was still coming out, so the flames were still expanding, and after a while, we felt strong heat waves coming over us one after another.

"How is this black water like gasoline, it can burn!" I couldn't believe my eyes. "I remembered! This place should be the ape-man cave," Chen Jing said loudly, "Do you remember the stalactite remains?" "I remember, it seems that thousands of years ago it should have been very humid there. I don't know why the geological features there have suddenly changed, and it seems to have disappeared." I looked at the fire, feeling very upset. "The root of the extinction flower can pass through the stone, absorbing all the surrounding water, and the water will gather at its root, and then it will become a kind of burning liquid, which will burn in the extinction When it is released after death, it will burn when it encounters fresh air!"

"Why didn't you say it earlier, the fire is so big now that it can't be put out!" I said reproachfully. "I didn't expect at the time that people from the Hongya Clan told me about this," Chen Jing said with an innocent look on her face, "Let's go out from the female tree's tree hole first." I grabbed the little bell in my hand, but found that the bell would not ring at all. I looked carefully and found that it was not a bell, but a clock, an ancient clock!It's just that it's surprisingly small, unlike the bells struck by monks I saw in the monastery before, and the proportions are too exaggerated.

The black liquid kept coming out from the root of the extinction flower, and the fire spread to our side. At this time, Nick ran to the bottom of the tree hole, pulled out the steel wire from the belt, and then pulled the clawed one The head was thrown up from under the tree hole.Nick's strength and skill are very powerful. He was able to throw the claw with the steel wire out of the tree hole, and then buckle it on the tree trunk. It is very difficult for untrained people to do it. "You grab the steel wire and climb out of the tree hole!" Nick shouted to us. This was really beyond my expectation. Just now I thought he wanted to run away first, but then I thought again, the reason why he was willing to run away with us was mostly because of the things in my hand.

"This steel wire is too thin, how can we climb up with it?" Chen Jing said while grabbing the thin steel wire. "Then step on me first to climb into the tree hole, and you can easily climb out after entering the tree hole." Nick said with a smile. Under that smile, what kind of person is hiding? "Standing on you? That's not good." Xinhong looked suspicious. He probably thought that Nick was too good, so good that we couldn't help but suspect that he had some bad intentions. "Hurry up, the fire is about to burn here, this lady comes first, hurry up!" Nick urged.

Chen Jing saw that the fire was indeed getting bigger and bigger, and everyone was already dripping with sweat. She unceremoniously stepped on Nick who was bent over. After reaching the tree hole, Chen Jing supported it with her hands and feet. Around the tree hole, and then slowly climbed out.Xinhong and I also followed Chen Jing's example, stepped on Nick, and climbed up hard.When we all came out of the tree hole, I didn't know what was going on, but I was a little worried about Nick, so I shouted towards the tree hole: "Nick, come up quickly!" "I'll be up right away," Nick called from below, but we saw him motionless, as if possessed.

I can see clearly from above, there is something extra in this kid's hand at some point, and that thing is the little bell hidden in the black gold!His grandma, Nick is really not a good person, I touched my pocket, and the little bell was gone.Strangely enough, Nick only glanced at the little bell before throwing the bell into the fire. Immediately afterwards, Nick pressed the belt, and the steel wire immediately retracted, and he climbed up smoothly.At this time, the tree hole was already emitting fiery air waves, and the fire was about to burn up, and the female tree probably couldn't keep it.In fact, it is a good thing that the female tree is burned, at least there will be no tree demons coming out to scare people in the future.

We were worried that the female tree would fall if it caught fire, so we ran to a relatively nearby apse to hide. At this time, no one was in the mood to argue with Nick.Nick took out two fluorescent sticks from his body and threw them on the ground. The apse was clearly visible to us at once, and there was still no change here.However, I feel as if something has been changed, but I can't remember what is different. "I'm sorry, the Eastern Emperor Bell must be destroyed!" Nick spoke before we could make trouble. "Why did you do this?" Chen Jing was so angry that her face turned blue, and she traveled all the way across the sea to come here, but she was so burned by Nick.

"It's a disaster to keep that thing!" Nick argued. "That little thing is called the Eastern Emperor Bell?" I asked after hearing this, "What do the people of the Hongya clan want it for?" Nick looked around and after confirming that the fire could not spread here for the time being, he told us that the Donghuang Bell is an ancient Chinese artifact, but it is not the gate of heaven as it is said now. The Donghuang Bell has a magical power , can kill a kind of divine bird.I remember that there was indeed a bird on the mural, could it be what Nick said.He also said that more than ten years ago, a grotto was discovered in the Tianshan Mountains, which contained ancient wall inscriptions, which recorded some deeds of the ancient emperor Xuanyuan.

Because the Yellow Emperor was born on the hill of Xuanyuan, it is called the Xuanyuan family. This Tianshan temple was involved in a war in ancient times.At that time, after Huangdi defeated Yandi, many princes wanted to support him as the emperor, but Yandi's descendants were unwilling to submit to Huangdi, and provoked wars several times, especially Chiyou.It is said that Chi You was cruel and warlike by nature, and he had annexed many princes at that time.Chi You actually belonged to the Yellow Emperor, but after the defeat of Emperor Yan, Chi You discovered copper mines at the foot of Mount Lu. They made swords, spears, halberds, shields and other weapons from these coppers. up.Chi You joined forces with Fengbo, Yushi and Kuafu tribesmen to challenge Huangdi aggressively. Huang Di loved the people by nature and didn't want to fight, so he always wanted to have a truce with Chi You.But Chi You didn't listen to the advice, and repeatedly violated the boundary.Huang Di thought that if he was appeasing Chi You, he would be breeding tigers, and the people of the world would suffer.The Yellow Emperor and Chiyou fought in Zhuolu.Later, Chi You lost to the Yellow Emperor and was captured by the Yellow Emperor.Huang Di ordered people to put a shackle on Chi You and kill him.The Yellow Emperor was afraid that he would make trouble after his death, so he buried his body and head in two places.After Chi You died, the shackles from his body were taken off and thrown on the barren hills. Soon, there was another turmoil in the world. Huang Di knew that Chi You's prestige was still there, so he drew a picture of Chi You and hung it everywhere.People all over the world thought that Chi You was not dead, but was surrendered by the Yellow Emperor, and more tribes came to join him.Later, Chi You was revered as the God of War by everyone. "Then what does this matter have to do with this temple? The temple is in the Western Regions, and Chi You and the Yellow Emperor fought in the Central Plains." I couldn't help asking curiously. "Don't interrupt first." Chen Jing was engrossed in listening, as if she wouldn't give up if she couldn't finish listening. Although Nick is a foreigner, when it comes to Chinese culture, he speaks clearly.He also said that the reason for the Tianshan Temple was after Chi You was defeated.At that time, the Yellow Emperor was benevolent by nature and won the support of people all over the world.Legend has it that in order for the Yellow Emperor to defeat Chi You, the strange people in the world collected all kinds of magical things in the world, hoping to destroy Chi You. Chi You actually had another branch. After Chi You died in battle, they sneaked into Huang Di's palace and stole part of the artifacts collected by Huang Di, but they didn't know that Chi You was dead.Those people hoped to give those artifacts to Chi You, so that Chi You could defeat the Yellow Emperor.But they searched for Chi You but couldn't find it. In desperation, they put those artifacts in several places, and this Tianshan Temple is one of them. "Then how did Qin Shihuang know about the Tianshan Temple? Xianyang is not close to the Western Regions. How did he know that there is such a Donghuang Bell on Tianshan Mountain?" Xinhong was puzzled. "In the second year of King Qin Zhuangxiang, a strange army attacked the countries in the Western Regions, do you know?" Nick turned his face to me. "I've heard that in the second year of King Qin Zhuangxiang, a strange-looking army attacked the Western Regions. The people of Qin learned a shocking news from the captured Huns. A powerful army came from the far west. People in the Qin Kingdom are warlike by nature, so they sent troops to the Western Regions. Could it be that the people of the Qin Kingdom accidentally discovered the Tianshan Temple when they were fighting with that strange army?" "That's right," Nick nodded, and said, "Later, the Qin people didn't publicize this matter. It was reported to Qin Shihuang, and Qin's national power increased greatly. So Qin Shihuang secretly sent Xu Fu to the temple, and set up a The purpose of the mechanism is to keep the Donghuang Bell locked in the temple forever, and I don’t want others to know about it, and even take out the Donghuang Bell.” "What's so special about that clock that it needs to do this?" I was puzzled. "I don't know about this, who knows what the ancients thought." Nick shrugged. "The Quanzhen Taoist must have taken the Donghuang Bell from here and died here. I think that in history, several groups of people must have entered here." Xinhong guessed. "Did the people of Qin put Yinlihong into the temple?" I remembered the group of red snakes and asked Nick. Since he was so familiar with it, I simply asked to understand. "They were bred in Chi You's branch. Now you know the origin of Yinlihong." Chen Jing replied first, not knowing why she rushed to answer this question. I looked at Nick, and didn't understand why he wanted to destroy the Donghuang Bell. Could it be that he didn't feel bad for something he had found so hard?Also, since Qin Shihuang discovered the Donghuang Bell, why didn't he keep it for himself, but sealed it in the Tianshan Temple?Even if the Eastern Emperor Bell can really kill the divine bird, but in this society, shooting and killing wild animals is already commonplace. Do they need to spend so much trouble?
