Chapter 94: Kiss Your Mermaid(1/2)
The locusts seemed to smell the breath of human flesh and blood, and flocked to come in full force.
This formation is no less than the tide army of three-eyed Di Arm. According to Cai Sheng, it only takes a moment to be attacked by this thing. Even your bones can be decomposed and swallowed. It is really a corpse that has no existence.
Hu Che ran around with his head in his arms and complained: "It must be those stupid people! I'm so sinister, it's so sinister to stab us in a hornet's nest! Now they have another charge, - intentional murder!..."
After running around for a while, seeing that he was avoiding it, the second uncle turned his attention to the exit of the pool when he came.
"It's too late, get into the water and swim back..."
Hu Shanshan resisted the feeling that she almost drowned. She really didn't want to experience it anymore.
But now there is no other way. Think about the consequences of being torn to pieces by locusts and gnawing the bones without any existence. If you drown, you can drown. At least you can have a complete corpse.
Hu Shanshan has a very poor water quality and is almost confused in the water. She needs Zhang Shuishu and Hu Che to take her to travel.
This time, because there was no red light guidance, the bottom of the water was pitch black, and it was difficult for Cai Sheng and his second uncle to determine the path. They almost took the attitude of being lucky and found a random direction.
There were undercurrents at the bottom of the pool, and there were many caves. I don’t know if it was bad luck. This one was very long and had not seen the end after swimming for several minutes. I could hardly hold my breath, and several people were almost desperate.
At this moment, the Pingxiang Cave suddenly opened up, and you can see a faint light when you look up.
There shouldn't be light underground, this is a good sign. Uncle Er was so excited that he danced desperately upstream.
Hu Che's water quality is better, and Zhang Shuishu and Hu Shanshan are in trouble. Seeing that the victory is ahead, Hu Shanshan can't hold it anymore. His mind is buzzing with oxygen and bubbles in panic.
Zhang Shuaishuai was also panicked. Like Hu Shanshan, he had reached the critical point, and the threat of drowning was almost close.
At this moment, suddenly, Hu Shanshan hugged Zhang Shuaishuai in desperation and kissed her. Both of them were actually lacking oxygen, but after exchanging breaths, they seemed to have deceived themselves and actually carried it over.
...With a thud, my mind was still buzzing when I broke through the water surface, but my body was almost instinctive, and I breathed greedily for a while, and my brain was in a state of being frozen.
Gradually, the subjective consciousness gradually awakens.
After waking up, Hu Shanshan saw Zhang Shuaishuai staring at Wu Shen's eyes in a daze, with his fingertips placed beside his lips, as if he was aftertaste and shocked. He didn't know what he was thinking, and he was crazy.
But unlike Zhang Shuaishuai's devilishness, the second uncle widened his eyes like Hu Che and others. Although he was still standing there, his eyes were full of light.
It was only then that Hu Shanshan saw the scene in front of her clearly. Suddenly, her breathing was short and her eyes widened.
In front of me is a huge underground cave, towering and wide, with a crescent pool ringing on the edge of the stone platform. Looking up, it looks like a park-free.
There are circular stone steps beside the pond, with clear water horns, which are obviously man-made.
There is a bronze willow tree planted about three steps along the edge of the pool. The canopy, branches and leaves are clear, and the willow veins are clear. If it weren't for bronze, it would be like the landscape lake in the park.
There are bronze chimes hanging on the branches of the bronze willow tree, with bell cores hanging brightly on the branches, making people feel that they will play music automatically if the wind blows.
In addition to chimes, there are also bronze birds, cicadas and squirrels made of bronze on the bronze willow trees, which are similar to Christmas trees covered with ribbons and postcards.
The crescent pool and bronze willow trees are surrounded by a round platform.
The platform has four levels in total, with the largest bottom and smaller as it goes up. It looks like a giant birthday cake. Even the rocks are milky white, which looks like a layer of butter from a distance.
At the foot of the high platform, countless corpses were piled up. These corpses were kneeling on the ground with their heads in their heads, with uniform postures, as if they were worshipping, or as if they were kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy, giving people endless imagination.
Hu Shanshan climbed up the shore, stood under the bronze willow tree, and looked at the dry corpse kneeling in front of her, and felt a sense of complexity in her heart.
And just then, Hu Che suddenly pulled Hu Shanshan's arm and said excitedly: "Da Shanshan, look over there, my god! What is that?"
...
(…Zhongli is also called Zhongli, one of the vassal states of the Western Zhou Dynasty. According to legend, the descendants of Bo Yi were born into feudal states and died in the annexation of Chu State in the Spring and Autumn Period.) (You are watching the first season of the Demon Clan, the Frozen Beauty)
...
Hu Che pointed to Shitai and shouted, "Da Shanshan, look over there, what is that?"
Looking up, there are four layers of stone platform, with a wide shape at the bottom and narrow at the top. At the top is a huge sacrificial vessel with an incense burner-like appearance.
The sacrificial vessel looks like an incense burner, and from a distance it looks more like the Bagua furnace of Taishang Laojun. The red light flashes in the furnace. Although the distance is long and the light sways and dim, you can feel the brilliant and vigorous fire light when you look at it carefully.
Zhang Shuishu pushed a pair of glasses on his nose, and the lenses reflected the red light in the incense burner.
"It should be the night pearl. It's so rare that it's so bright, it's so rare."
Hu Che rubbed his hands excitedly, "There are no cables and wires here, so the glowing one is definitely not a light bulb! So it is impossible for the legendary Night Pearl to be something else. I want this thing, so no one should snatch it from me..."
After Hu Che said that, he felt that it was inappropriate to say this, so he coughed lightly and stood up: "I just think it's good to shine on my own. I want to take it home as a desk lamp in the bedroom to save electricity."
Hu Shanshan rolled her eyes and said, "Police Officer Hu, I heard that there is a mermaid's lantern made of mermaids in the ancient tomb that can burn all the time. Mr. Fujimu said that Zhongli Guojun got three treasures in the South China Sea, one of which was a boneless beauty. This boneless beauty is very likely a sea mermaid."
Speaking of this, he patted Hu Che on the shoulder: "So the incense burner should be a mermaid corpse. If you want it, you will give it to you, no one will argue with you."
While talking, the second uncle and Cai Sheng had already walked around the stone platform.
The stone platform strata is 60 to 70 square meters, and various inscriptions and paintings are carved on the outer stone walls, which are wonderful.
But I didn't see the steps that I could go up until I walked around. The climbing of each ring of the stone platform was five meters long, so it was impossible to climb up.
Hu Che also ran around and couldn't get up. He scratched his head in a hurry: "How to go up? Otherwise, let's put a stack of arhats."
Five meters is nearly two stories high, even if the stacked arhats cannot reach. The rock wall of the stone platform is hard and smooth. Standing at the low end, looking up is like facing the city gate with a closed city gate. The harder it is to climb to the sky.
"According to the direction of the map, this should be a position that overlaps the Duan Valley, so Duan Valley is not an altar, it is here."
Uncle Er said, looking up at the glowing incense burner, and was so excited! "So this is the final secret of Phoenix Tomb. Duangu is just a fool, and he is trapped in."
Seeing that the second uncle was so excited, Hu Shanshan couldn't bear to pour cold water on it, but she spread her hands: "So what? We can't get up! Just look up."
After Hu Shanshan said that, she sighed and said regretfully: "It would be great if there was a ladder."
Hu Che also scratched his scalp in annoyance and muttered to himself: "Yes! That would be great if there was a ladder!"
Hu Che still didn't give up and looked around with a flashlight: "Since people in ancient times could put things on, there must be a ladder, so I'll look for it."
"No one has been here for thousands of years, and it has been scrapped if there is a ladder!"
After Hu Shanshan said that, she looked at Hu Che. Seeing that he was crazy, she thought about it and comforted her again, saying, "Old Hu, there is no need to be too disappointed. Have you seen these bronze willow trees?"
Hu Che was stunned for a moment, and suddenly his eyes lit up after hesitating for a while, and he snapped his fingers with a crisp sound: "Da Shanshan, you are smart, you have thought of a solution. Let's move the bronze willow tree over and climb up the tree..."
"My intelligence may not be obvious, but your stupidity is too explicit. When did I say I want to move the tree? Do you know how heavy this bronze tree is? Besides, it is planted and buried underground. If you include the base plate, Lu Zhishen cannot pull it out."
Upon hearing this, Hu Che looked at Hu Shanshan with contempt: "Why didn't you mean that you asked me to see the trunks? What's so good about it? Is there a bird's nest?"
"Did you just see the tree? You didn't even look at the things on the tree canopy? Just say that the bronze chime bells, the chime bells in Zhongli were even earlier than those unearthed from Zeng Houyi's tomb. It would be a priceless treasure if you just break one out."
Hu Che's eyes widened and wider. It took him a long time to swallow his throat dryly, but soon he seemed to have doubts again and shook his head: "It's just a few rusty bells, which are very valuable? Stop teasing me, you really treat me as a ragged one!"
Hu Shanshan suddenly felt powerless and didn't know what to say. She sighed depressedly and followed her second uncle forward.
There were countless kneeling corpses surrounding the stone platform. These corpses were dry and rotten, and they would crunch and shatter after stepping on them.
Hu Shanshan was bitten by a kappa before, and she threw one of her shoes. She stepped on barefoot in the dry bones and was very frustrated, so she staggered and felt very embarrassed.
Zhang Shuaishuai had only one shoe, so he followed up diligently: "Da Shanshan, please wear my shoes. Anyway, I only have one shoe left. It's no difference for me to have one foot or two feet."
When Hu Shanshan thought of the scene in the pool, she was still a little uncomfortable. She coughed dryly and turned to look at Zhang Shuishu.
He said to him meaningfully: "Thank you Shuishang for your filial piety, but I really don't need it... I won't fit you!"
The main reason for refusing was that when he took off his shoes in the ancient building, the strange smell was really endless and he almost felt disgusting.
Hu Che was a discerning person and hit Hu Shanshan on the shoulder: "Hey Da Shanshan, are you afraid that he will spread athlete's foot to you or are you pointing at the slander and scolding you to show your attitude towards him?"
Hu Shanshan didn't say anything, and threw Hu Che a tacit look and quickly followed his second uncle.
At this time, the second uncle was studying the inscriptions and paintings on the stone wall with Cai Sheng. As I thought, the murals were mostly heroic scenes on the battlefield, telling the life of the king of Zhongli.
Cai Sheng combined the inscriptions and biography to tell the relevant information he understood.
Everyone was fascinated by the sound of hearing this, and suddenly, Hu Che shouted: "The ladder...there are stairs here..."
Hu Che was so excited that he walked around the stone platform himself, but why didn’t he find a staircase here last time? I just thought it was too strange!
When the second uncle heard this, he rushed over and saw that the stairs could indeed be climbed, with his eyes wide open.
"It shouldn't be! There were no ladders before, obviously not."
"Isn't there really?" Hu Shanshan was confused. Although she believed that Uncle Er and the others would not lie, how could she explain the facts in front of her?
"Uncle Second, you must be too anxious to find it before and didn't pay attention. The light is not good, and this ladder is quite hidden, so it's not surprising that it is ignored."
He blinked his eyes and looked at Hu Shanshan. In the face of facts, the second uncle and the others began to shake their beliefs, thinking to himself that he really saw it wrong?
However, now that I discovered that the stairs are a great thing, it means that I can get close to the core secret of Phoenix Mausoleum, which is a god-given opportunity.
"Or it's God's will!"
The second uncle sighed and shook his sleeves, and was tenacious: "Let's go, go up to the second floor!"
In this way, we walk up to the second floor of the stone platform, which is the top of the round stone platform at the bottom.
The first thing I saw here was the corpse nailed to the rock wall.
Since we arrived at Phoenix Tomb, the dead bones of the corpse are like dead branches in the mountains and forests, and are everywhere. Whether they are nailed to the wall or loaded into the ground, they will no longer cause any horror or discomfort, and there is no sense of freshness at all.
In the eyes of everyone now, these corpses nailed to the rock wall are equivalent to decorations, and are completely to cater to the atmosphere, and there is nothing special.
But when you look carefully, you will find it incredible that these corpses nailed to the rock wall have no legs, and the body is covered with bones similar to keel bones from the waist, and the ends are tail fins like fish tail bones.
In other words, the corpse in front of me is only human on the upper body and fish bones on the lower body.
Everyone looked at each other, and Cai Sheng was extremely excited and rushed forward to take a closer look: "This is... the Black Shepherd in the East China Sea!"
