Chapter 21 Chapter 21 Returns to the Loess

"I know, I know, Fatty, I am very fast!" Fatty Hu said, busy reconfirming the calculated position of the blasting point.However, to my surprise, that damned monster actually climbed onto the bluestone pillar and began to pull the iron chain that hung the ancient bronze coffin vigorously. Damn it, what does this old monster want to do? "Boss Xu, is this guy out of his mind?" Fatty Hu asked, staring up at the monster. "This monster can't think about it. He wants to break the iron chain and let the coffin sink. We are helpless. There is no way out. We have to stay here with his old monster." I said, "However, it's really difficult for him to break the iron chain with his bare hands!"

But before I could finish my sentence, I only heard a "crack" from above. I don't know if the thick iron chain was corroded by weathering, or if it was a monster turned into by the old man Jiang. It was so powerful that it was forced by him. Torn off. Moreover, after the old man Jiang turned into a monster, after tearing off the iron chain, he suddenly slid down the bluestone pillar and climbed over to another bluestone pillar. No, the old man must not be allowed to break the iron chain again. God knows how old these iron chains are, do they still have the original strength?Now Fatty Hu and I have torn two of the iron chains, and with the one torn off by old man Jiang, there are only five left. God knows whether these five iron chains can bear the weight of the ancient bronze coffin ?In addition, if Fatty Hu wants to explode, it will inevitably cause sound waves to vibrate, and there is also the possibility of breaking the iron chain.

Therefore, nothing I said could make old man Jiang break the iron chain again, and immediately he was busy with the horizontal sword and slashed at old man Jiang fiercely. However, this old man Jiang was very slippery this time, he dodged the gloomy sword light, and quickly climbed towards the bluestone pillar. I didn't care so much, and also climbed up the bluestone pillar. Seeing that I was following, old man Jiang raised his foot and stepped on me fiercely. Only then did I realize that old man Jiang's feet were not wearing the wet laminated bottoms at this time, and his exposed toes were also like It's like chicken feet, but the claws are black and sharp like knives.

Even, because he climbed up the bluestone pillar with his feet, his sharp toes left traces on the pillar. If he kicked it, it would definitely be torn and bloody. I held up the ancient bronze sword, and slashed at Old Man Jiang's ankle. Old Man Jiang suffered a loss once, but this time, he was no longer in love with the fight, he was busy shrinking his feet and climbing up. I hurriedly followed, and greeted Fatty Hu at the same time: "What are you dawdling about, blast it quickly!" "It's very dangerous for you to be here!" Fatty Hu said solemnly. "Nonsense, if you are not blasting, we are all finished!" I shouted loudly.

As I spoke, I looked up and saw that old man Jiang had climbed to the place where the iron chain of the ancient bronze coffin was hanging while I was speaking. Then, following the dim miner's lamp above my head, I found that old man Jiang's chicken feet actually secreted A dark liquid came out, and the liquid fell into it dripping, and the iron chain corroded quickly... Damn it, I cursed secretly, this old man Jiang, like that vine dragon, can secrete a very corrosive liquid, which is equivalent to concentrated sulfuric acid. Just now, Fatty Hu and I used concentrated sulfuric acid to corrode and break Two iron chains... Now this old man actually plays such a trick?

"Fatty, hurry up, there's no time!" I yelled loudly, "This monster will corrode..." "Uh..." Fatty Hu agreed, and said loudly, "Be careful!" While speaking, he was already busy laying the explosives and setting the fuse. I hurriedly climbed up, and slashed at old man Jiang again, but while old man Jiang was grabbing the iron chain vigorously, he wrapped his hand like a snake's tail around the bluestone pillar and hung it on the bluestone pillar. On the pillar, his two feet were as nimble as fingers, cleverly avoiding my sword light, and kicked me hard in the chest.

My heart moved, it was impossible to stand in a stalemate with old man Jiang like this, and I was alone, but he was a monster now, good people don't fight monsters, so they walked around the bluestone pillar immediately, avoiding old man Jiang's attack With that kick, he kicked heavily on the bluestone pillar, leaving a few marks on it that seemed to be carved by a knife. At the same time, I vigorously raised the ancient bronze sword, and slashed down on his snake tail wrapped around the bluestone pillar. Almost without accident, this ancient bronze sword was old man Jiang's nemesis, the tail of the snake broke off easily, old man Jiang had no support, and his body fell heavily.

At this moment, flames splashed everywhere, and a strong light suddenly appeared in the originally dark tomb. I closed my eyes instinctively, and hugged the bluestone pillar vigorously. Immediately there were two loud bangs in my ears, and then, something collapsed with a clatter, as if something was rubbing against my scalp. "Cough—" Fatty Hu coughed hard from below, I hurriedly calmed down, closed my eyes and shook my head vigorously, then opened my eyes, and then asked: "What's wrong?" "It's done, hurry up, come and have a look!" While Fatty Hu was speaking, he had already beckoned me to get down quickly.

I was busy looking down, and two of the pillars had been blasted to the ground and lay across the water pool. If the bronze coffin above fell down at this time, it would just land on these two stone pillars.At this moment, I'm not worried about the ancient bronze coffin falling down, anyway, we're going to get it down. Fatty Hu really has a strong talent in blasting. Although it is very risky and reckless to do so, I really want to know who is the owner of that ancient bronze coffin? By the way, there is that old man Jiang, where did he go?I remember just now he fell down? "Fatty, where's the monster?" I leaned on the bluestone pillar, panting hard, and asked.

"When I was blasting just now, the old man fell down, was hit by a piece of gravel, and fell into the pool, and he didn't know if he was dead or alive!" Fatty Hu explained, and at the same time asked, "Just now Do you still have that thing?" "One more thing, it should be enough to corrode these six iron chains!" I said, and I was also relieved to hear that old man Jiang was hit by a bluestone and fell into the pool. Fatty Hu and I split up and climbed up the bluestone pillar again. After a while, the remaining five iron chains were all corroded, and the huge ancient bronze coffin slammed down hard with a bang—it just hit On two stone pillars across the pool.

I guessed well at first, if this ancient bronze coffin falls, it will definitely sink into the pool, and there is some evil thing suppressed in this pool, if this ancient coffin is filled in, the evil thing will never come out On that day, we also don't want to see the sun again. "Boss Xu, come and have a look!" Fatty Hu shouted. "Hmm!" In fact, I didn't need Fatty Hu to greet me, I had already walked over quickly, the surface of the ancient bronze coffin had exquisite patterns, but now it was all rusty and full of verdigris. "Strange!" I took the flashlight from Fatty Hu's hand, took a photo on the lid of the ancient bronze coffin, and said with a frown, "Look at this pattern, it's clearly the painted painting on the unidentified ancient temple above, but it's shrunk a lot here , no—there is only the golden ancient chariot here..." "Yes!" Fatty Hu said while wearing plastic gloves, reaching out to caress the exquisite pattern on the ancient bronze coffin. The paintings on it should be the ancient golden chariot and the leader wearing the golden armor. I became more and more suspicious. Could it be that the person buried in this ancient bronze coffin is really that Emperor Xuanyuan?Then the evil thing under the pool turned out to be the remnant body of the Great Demon King Chi You. Only such an explanation makes sense—and Chi You was cut into pieces by five horses, his body was not complete, only the remnants remained. "It's strange that the copper coffin hasn't been poured yet. It's so convenient!" Fatty Hu laughed suddenly. While speaking, he had already used brute force to pry the coffin lid with a shovel. I took a closer look, and sure enough, although the ancient bronze coffin was exquisitely cast, after it was finally sealed, it was not poured with copper juice again. Although it has rusted now, it just couldn't stand Hu Fatty's messy prying. There was a loud bang, and the lid of the ancient bronze coffin was opened heavily... I took a flashlight to shine it, and under the pale beam of light, inside the ancient bronze coffin was a black lacquered coffin, with a bright luster—just as I expected, the outside was the coffin, and the inside was the coffin, and this coffin turned out to be black and hairless. Bright. I went closer to have a look, the outside of this coffin is not painted, if it is painted, it is very old, and it would have peeled off long ago, how can it be preserved until now and still be black and shiny? This should also be a rare and high-quality wood. Looking at the luster and color, could it be that this coffin is actually cold iron wood?It is said that in an extremely cold place, there grows a strange tree that is as hard as iron and as cold as ice. I have only seen records in ancient books, I have never seen it with my own eyes, and I have never heard of it, where there was such a cold iron tree. "This guy is so poor, he built a bronze coffin outside, and the inside is so black and broken wood, I thought there was golden nanmu!" Fatty Hu said, still thinking about the golden nanmu, shaking his head. "This may be cold iron wood, but it is even rarer than golden nanmu!" I said in a low voice. While speaking, I reached out and touched it. Sure enough, my hand was as cold as iron, and it was indeed the legendary thing. "Didn't you say that only that so-called Kunlun Shenmu is more valuable than golden nanmu?" Fatty Hu glared at me, as if to blame me for not explaining clearly. "I don't even know if there is ice iron wood in this world!" I said, if there is such an ice iron wood used to wrap corpses, firstly, the iron wood is fine and dense, not under nanmu, and secondly, it is natural Qihan is better at preserving corpses, he is simply a natural longevity material. "Don't worry about him, Fat Lord, I'll open it!" Fatty Hu said. "It took so much effort to get it down, of course I have to open it!" I nodded and said, while speaking, I had already pulled out the ancient bronze sword, and with the sharp edge of the sword, inserted it into the gap in the coffin lid of the ancient coffin and wound it around. I walked around the coffin, and then I couldn't help being stunned, the ancient bronze coffin outside was not poured with copper juice to die, but the birthday material inside was not nailed to death either?How is this possible? I even have a sense of absurdity. Could it be that this guy was buried in the coffin after his death, thinking about crawling out of the coffin in the future?So, the coffin lid is not sealed? "What's the matter?" Fatty Hu probably saw that my expression was different, and asked. "The lid is not crucified!" I said. "That's not right, look at me!" Fatty Hu said, took a step forward, and pushed hard on the lid of the coffin. The cold iron wood was like cast iron, and it was extremely heavy. Only one lid was pushed by Fatty Hu. At that time, it was a little difficult, I hurried forward to help, and with the strength of the two of us, I finally pushed open the lid of the coffin. Then, I pulled Fatty Hu and stepped back several steps. The people in this coffin don’t know how long they have been dead. The corpse rotted and suddenly came into contact with the air, and the corpse gas emitted was extremely poisonous. fatal. After waiting for a while, seeing nothing unusual, I held a flashlight in one hand and an ancient bronze sword in the other, and slowly approached the coffin. "This is—" Fatty Hu stared at the contents of the coffin with his mouth open, and then looked up at me. I was also stunned, this is really too weird, the person enshrined in Hanbing Tiemu was actually a Yellow Earth man?Yes, there are no corpses in the coffin, only a pile of loess. After our violent reorganization, the original shape of the loess has been scattered, and it can be seen that it should have been placed in the shape of a person... The original golden armor was scattered in the coffin, and the loess was scattered from the armor, scattered into dust... Even if a person rots into ashes after death, there are still some bones left, but in this cold iron wood coffin, there is only some loess left, not even the bones. I looked at the pile of loess in the coffin, under the beam of the flashlight, it was extremely ironic, and I couldn’t help laughing out loud anymore—whether it’s Xuanyuan Huangdi, or the defeated Chiyou Great Demon King, after a thousand years, In the end, it turned into a pile of loess. Even the golden car and the emerald coffin cannot stop the passage of time.Nothing is eternal, the hero dictates it, the armor remains the same, but what about people? In the end, it all comes down to loess! Before I laughed, suddenly, there was a rumbling sound above my head, like thunder. "Boom—boom—" There is absolutely no thunder in this underground world, so I couldn't help being stunned. I looked up and saw that there were large cracks on the bluestone tomb roof that was originally good, and countless broken stones fell from it. "Fatty Hu, hurry up, this place is about to collapse..." I suddenly realized that we probably broke two bluestone pillars, and the remaining bluestone pillars were not enough to support the roof of the tomb, which caused the underground palace to collapse. I have to admire the wisdom of the ancients. Such precise calculations are far beyond my expectations. The weight and pressure that the pillars can withstand are just right. Once the pillars are destroyed, the place will collapse. "Go—" When I was speaking, I didn't care to think about it. There was a rain of gravel on my head. If I was hit by it, I would die, so I jumped into the dark pool immediately. There was a "plop", the water splashed everywhere, and my eyes were completely dark. As expected, there was still water below. I don't know how big the underground lake is. It should be together with the water of the Yellow River, right?Otherwise, how could there be such a vast momentum?I didn't have time to think about it, so I hurriedly swam to the side, otherwise, the mouth of the well above would be so big, and it would be strange if Fatty Hu jumped down and hit me on the head.I don't want to be killed by the old man Jiang's monster, and finally be smashed to death by Fatty Hu. This is really wronged enough. Plop—— Sure enough, as soon as I swam away, I heard water splashing around me, so I hurriedly took out the flashlight and shone it on——Under the dim beam of the flashlight, Fatty Hu was touching the water splash on his face, and was slamming water from his mouth. After spitting out a mouthful of sewage, the kid couldn't help but scolded his mother. Then, this guy looked around, turned around and asked me: "Boss Xu, didn't you say there is an exit here? How can I see the dark place, or the underground lake? Where is the exit?" "I don't know!" I sighed. When I jumped down just now, I couldn't think about it. Moreover, I can be sure that my judgment is correct. If there is an exit here, this well is the only exit. ——I still insist on this point, but the underground lake is too big, and the surrounding area is pitch black. Moreover, the ancients built ancient tombs, and they would not write road signs like modern people. The mouth of the well above is small and funnel-shaped, and the underground lake below is so dense that it can’t see the edge at all. I don’t know how big it is. As for the exit, based on my feeling, it should be near here, right? "Let's look for that girl Dandan first!" I whispered. Dandan is still alive, unlike others, Professor Qian and the others forget it, after all, she is dead, but Dandan is still alive even though she has disappeared, no matter what, I can't just run off and leave her alone. "Hmm!" Fatty Hu didn't have any objection to this, and swam to one side while talking. "Boss Xu, hurry up and take a look, the lake has come to an end!" Fatty Hu moved fast enough to see that there was no danger, he had already drawn to the edge of the underground lake, and then called me. I heard this, and hurriedly followed, identifying the direction on one side. Based on my feeling, the front of me should be another entrance to the ancient tomb, and the back should be the exit of the underground lake and the Yellow River. Of course, this exit is definitely You can only get out but not in, otherwise, this ancient tomb has been excavated a long time ago, and you will wait until now? I have to feel the wisdom of our ancestors. The entrance is on the ghost beach of the Yellow River, which is usually covered by the water of the Yellow River, but the exit is simply placed in the Yellow River. Who can find the specific location in the vast and rushing Yellow River? "Fatty, what do you think that is?" I was looking at it, holding up the flashlight and shining around, under the dim beam of light, on the dark underground lake, there was a faint resemblance of a person floating. "Dandan—" Fatty Hu looked in the direction of my finger, and said in a low voice, "It looks like Dandan's clothes, but it's too dark to see clearly. How about we go over and have a look?" "Hmm!" I nodded. Although I was frightened by the corpses in the underground lake, we couldn't help but go over to have a look. Immediately, Fatty Hu and I swam towards the floating person again. It got closer and closer, and I finally saw clearly that the person was floating along the lake, and it wasn't that girl Dandan. "Dandan!" When Fatty Hu saw it, he didn't care so much, he hurriedly left me and swam over quickly.Then, I reached out to hug Dandan, touched her breath, and said anxiously to me, "Boss Xu, hurry——Dandan is still alive!" "Thank God!" I hurriedly said, "Let's go up quickly, it's important to find a way!" While speaking, I also rushed over to help Fatty Hu hold Dandan. After such a long time, the bones of my body have become cold, but I still have a breath, but the breath is weak, and I don't know if I can still be saved... Thinking of this, I couldn't help sighing, and together with Fatty Hu, we carried Dandan together and went up to the shore. Unexpectedly, at this moment, Fatty Hu suddenly shouted: "Boss Xu, wait a minute—" "What's the matter?" I frowned and asked in a low voice, "Dandan's condition is not optimistic, we have to go out quickly, change her into clean clothes, and find a doctor." Regardless of the snake venom and corpse poison that Dandan was suffering from, at this moment, what she needs most is a clean dress, a soft and comfortable bed, and a bowl of hot ginger soup. "Look over there." Fatty Hu whispered, "I seem to see a golden light flickering!" "Golden light?" I was curious in my heart, but I couldn't help but follow the direction of Fatty Hu's finger and looked towards the underground lake. Sure enough, there seemed to be faint golden light shining in the dark underground lake. Fatal temptation. "Boss Xu, do you think it's sunshine?" Fatty Hu asked, "I'm afraid it's not dark outside at this time?" When Fatty Hu said this, I was also very suspicious. Could it be that my judgment was wrong, and this place is the exit? No, the exit is definitely behind us. If my judgment is correct, that direction is definitely another entrance to the ancient tomb. I immediately put aside my judgment. Although Fatty Hu believed me in one aspect, he still hesitated. Not far ahead, the golden light shone, flickering on and off. "Let's go and have a look. If the exit is really there, it would be great. If it's not there, we'll turn back immediately!" I said. "Okay!" Fatty Hu nodded and said, "Do me a favor, carry Dandan on my back, be careful!" I agreed, hugged Dandan, let her lie on Fatty Hu's back, Fatty Hu carried Dandan on his back, and swam quickly towards the place where the golden light was shining. As the saying goes, one loses one's legs when looking at the mountains, but at this time, the two of us completely lost one's legs when running towards the light. The golden light seems to be shining not far away, but it is still unreal. After tossing and tossing for about twenty minutes, I felt exhausted and was about to greet Fatty Hu, but unexpectedly, Fatty Hu, who was swimming in front, stopped suddenly, with an indescribable panic in his voice: "Boss Xu...Boss Xu ……What is this?" I tried my best to swim there, and when I saw it, I gasped. Not far ahead, there were two large dark holes, but at the entrance of the holes, there was actually a floating island. , a person stood vaguely, with golden light shining all over his body. "Dragon Ball?" I stared blankly at the two dark holes, as well as the faint golden figure on the small island, and muttered in a low voice, this should be the formation of two dragons grabbing the pearl in the legendary Tai Chi Yin Yang Eye , my judgment is not wrong, this is not the exit, but the entrance of the ancient tomb... I couldn't help but look at the golden figure again, and my heart moved. Could it be that this is... "Fatty Hu, Dandan is saved, this girl is blessed, hurry up! Go!" Although I was not sure in my heart, I was still willing to take a risk for Dandan. "Uh..." Fatty Hu obviously didn't understand, but I didn't bother to explain further, I was busy swimming to the small island at the entrance of Tai Chi Yin Yang Eye. Soon, I climbed up the edge of the small island, and sure enough, the small island had traces of artificial construction, with some bluestone steps on it, and on the small island, the thing that Fatty Hu and I regarded as human beings , turned out to be a rough yellow clay figurine, it does not emit light itself, but this yellow clay figurine is wrapped around a weird plant, the whole body is golden, only the thickness of fingers, the head is like a dragon, wrapped around the yellow clay figurine, and In the mouth of the dragon, there is a fruit, which is fragrant.Looking at it from a distance, it was just a person, with golden light shining. "What is this?" Fatty Hu stared dumbfounded at the portrait made of yellow mud and the golden plants. "I am a golden dragon fruit - born in the shadows, able to cure all poisons!" I said. "Then what are you waiting for?" Fatty Hu said, and was about to step forward to pick the golden dragon fruit. "Wait—" I grabbed him, then pulled him to kneel in front of the yellow clay figurine, kowtowed three times, and then said, "We waited for the three of us to enter the ancient tomb by mistake. No, today Dandan is infected with corpse poison, and his life is at a moment's notice, so I ask Jinlongguo for help, and the three of us, I solemnly swear that if we can see the sun again today, we will never rob the tomb again!" Fatty Hu listened in a daze at first, but after I finished speaking, he hurriedly followed suit. I survived a near death today, if I can really go out, from now on, I will definitely not do this grave-digging business.So, I'm not talking nonsense. I didn't get up until Fatty Hu kowtowed and bowed to the yellow clay figurine, and then I stretched out my hand and picked the golden dragon fruit. The golden dragon fruit was only as big as a thumb, and it was fragrant. I chewed the fruit and spent some effort before feeding the golden dragon fruit to Dandan. Then, we went back the same way, as I expected, the opposite direction was the exit—— Along the way, Fatty Hu asked curiously: "Boss Xu, from now on, don't you really stop robbing graves?" "Yes, never tomb robbery!" I nodded cautiously. "Uh..." Fatty Hu seemed a little surprised. I smiled wryly, "Do you know what that yellow clay figurine is?" "Isn't it just a portrait made of yellow mud?" Fatty Hu said disapprovingly. "That used to be a living person, but now, it has turned into a pile of yellow mud!" I sneered, "He is the real owner of this ancient tomb, but who was he before he was alive, and why did he turn into yellow mud after death? Now, It has nothing to do with us, I just want to go out and live a good life!" With the power of a small vortex, Fatty Hu, with Dandan on his back, emerged from the bottom of the water with me, looked up, looked up, we are in the Yellow River, about 100 meters away from the Yellow River Ghost Beach The distance of seven or eight meters away is okay——I swam towards the shore with all my strength, feeling like a water ghost, what did I do to make myself so inhuman? From now on, I will never rob a tomb! "Damn it, I finally came out alive!" I fell exhausted on the ghost beach of the Yellow River, looking up at the bloody sunset, just like us, dragging our exhausted steps, with the last ray of light, sinking Going down to the west—we spent a whole day in that ancient tomb, but I felt that it took longer than a year to survive the near death. Fatty Hu panted heavily, put Dandan down, and fell beside me. The turbid Yellow River, rushing and rushing, surged under my feet. On the hills not far away, the dilapidated loess village was hidden under the setting sun, revealing the constant desolation of thousands of years, and the footsteps of history stopped here. "Is the tide high?" I saw that the Yellow River water was about to submerge the black mouth of the Yellow River longan. Soon, all traces of these things would be covered by the turbid Yellow River water, and they would no longer exist. Only Professor Qian and others, but forever The mystery of the huge underground tomb is still not solved. The turbid water of the Yellow River seems to be able to contain all the secrets... Above the Huangtu Village, on a high place, in the eyes of Tai Chi, in the Yang Tomb, what is hidden? "Brother Xu——" Suddenly, a soft voice called me in a low voice. "Ah... Dandan is awake?" Fatty Hu and I were overjoyed when we heard the words, Dandan finally woke up, and being able to wake up proves that the golden dragon fruit is indeed effective. Now, what we urgently need is to leave this place and find A place to have a good meal, then take a shower and sleep. Man, nothing is more important than being alive. (End of the book)
