Overshadowing the sun is always a demon
Chapter 104
"Yi Xun! What are you looking at, Yi Xun?" Luo Jia climbed down from behind, followed by Hassan. Obviously, these two people were quite normal, and they soon woke up from the frenzy of discovering the treasure.The facts are right in front of you, no matter how many treasures you have, what's the use if you can't take them out?
"Just looking around..." Fadu tried to calm himself down: "Where should we go now?"
"Up." Chengquan pointed upward, "I'm going to the center of the mausoleum."
Luo Jia blinked: "What? You really want to move the coffin, aren't you afraid that he will cheat the corpse like in TV dramas or novels?"
"Go or not, it's up to you." Cheng Quan didn't intend to talk to her at all.
Fadu immediately stated his position: "I follow Chengquan."
"You are the only one here who can know the ghosts here, do we have a choice?" Luo Jia tied the hem of the clothes to the waist again, "Let's go."
"What about that person?" Hassan pointed behind him, the camels were still reveling in the endless wealth.
Chengquan snorted disdainfully from his nose: "Don't worry about him, let's go."
Fadu always felt a little bit sorry: "Leave him here alone, isn't he waiting to die?"
"He is in a crazy mood right now. If you persuade him to give up the treasure now, it is tantamount to courting death." Luo Jia packed a bag of gems, Hassan found a beautiful jade pipe and pinned it on his belt, Chengquan said to him He was really not interested in the treasure in front of him at all. He found a machete from under his feet, and then threw away the gorgeous scabbard inlaid with jewels.
Several people walked along the edge of the pit looking for a way out, but the person who made the pool of gold obviously did not intend to let people enter the center of the mausoleum. The walls of the pit were smooth, and there was no place to climb.
"We didn't enter the pool of gold by mistake, but we could only enter the pool of gold." Chengquan struck the stone wall with a scimitar, his brows became more and more frowned: "it's really not good to find the pool of gold so easily. Omen."
"What do you mean?" Luo Jia was confused.
Cheng Quan explained: "Generally, the goal of tomb robbers is treasure. If they find inexhaustible treasure just after entering the tomb, they will definitely not look for a way to enter the next floor. The owner of the tomb did not deliberately hoard treasure. It is a way of self-protection. The mausoleum built with this construction method does not gradually deepen from top to bottom like ordinary tombs, but is nested layer by layer from outside to inside. This whole mausoleum is his coffin."
"The coffin? Then every floor is complete." Luo Jia suddenly realized, "There may be no passage to the next floor here."
Cheng Quan nodded: "Very likely."
"If there is really no other way out, then why haven't we found Saleh? Didn't we find Xiaobai? Even Old Uncle Wang is gone?" Fadu frowned, "Impossible. There must be another way out here."
"The rock walls here are all formed naturally. It's hard to imagine that this kind of place can also be used as a flip mechanism or a secret door." Chengquan shook his head, "Maybe our route is wrong at all."
"That's right! We did go wrong!" Luo Jia exclaimed suddenly, "Do you remember those mermaids? The underground waterway they walked also led to the inside of the tomb!"
Cheng Quan was stunned, then laughed loudly: "Yes! These underground waterways pass through the center of the tomb. No matter how tight the overall coffin is, it will definitely leave a channel for overflowing water. Luo Jia, I didn't expect that you would be so useful besides holding you back."
"When did I slow down!" Luo Jia immediately gave him an elbow, "Don't think that novels and movies are all nonsense, they are useful at critical times!"
When several people returned to that section of stairs, the mermaid had completely disappeared. The sunlight shone through the light holes on the side, making the bottom of the water even more dark and gloomy.
Chengquan wanted to jump down without hesitation, but Fadu quickly grabbed him: "Let's see if the mutated Deng's fish followed."
"That gap isn't wide enough, they can't get in." Chengquan shook off his hand, and was about to jump down when he heard a bang. Went down a dent, luckily no one was hurt.
Luo Jia turned his head and glared at the camel: "Camel, what are you doing!"
"Where are you going!" Camel waved his gun, excited, "I knew you all had problems, especially you! Tell me! Where are you going! Otherwise, I'll kill you! Kill them all!"
"What questions can we have?" Chengquan replied calmly, "If we leave, all the treasures will be yours."
"Shut up!" The camel pointed its gun at Fadu, "Aren't you monks not allowed to tell lies? Tell me, tell me!"
There is a gold belt wrapped around his waist, which is full of various gold objects and clusters of jewels, and his trouser pockets are also stuffed with precious stones, making him look bloated. If it weren't for his vicious expression at this moment, Fadu could hardly bear it. I couldn't help laughing.
"We're going to find the tomb owner's coffin."
"The coffin? Yes! There must be something more valuable in the coffin!" Camel said smartly, "Lead the way, lead the way!"
Cheng Quan's expression was as cold as an iceberg: "If you really want to go with us, throw away the jewelry on your body and pack the supplies on your back."
"Throw away all the jewels you got?" Camel laughed wildly, "Do you think I'm stupid?"
Fadu finally couldn't bear it any longer: "You would be really stupid if you gave up food and water while carrying jewels on your back."
"Who said I want to give up?" The camel pointed at the heads of Fadu and Hassan in turn with the muzzle of a gun, "You two carry it, hurry up."
Although Luo Tuo was in a frenzy, he hadn't completely lost his mind. He knew that Hassan and Fadu would be obedient in order to protect the safety of others, and Chengquan was the existence he feared the most.
"Don't slump. I just want to take these things out alive. If you cooperate obediently, the guys in my hands will naturally give you face." The obedience of Fadu and Hassan made the camel very satisfied, which seemed to establish his position in the current small team.
"Let's go." Cheng Quan didn't intend to argue with him at all, and plunged into the water with a beautiful diving leap.
"Wait for me! Chengquan!" Fadu panicked, the others were in danger, and he rejected the camel from the bottom of his heart, now only Chengquan could take him swimming.Thinking of this, he jumped down with a plop without even thinking about it.
The underwater is actually not as dark as imagined. After bypassing the stone steps, the mermaid passes through the waterway.Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a man-made space about three or four meters square, and there was still a gap of about ten or twenty centimeters from the water surface to the top of the stone, which was just enough for breathing.
With that gap, Fadu raised his head all the way and refused to bury it in the water. Because of this, he was the first to discover the mottled murals on the stone wall: "What are these?"
The place where fingers can touch is not very smooth, and there are still rhizomes of aquatic plants in some cracks, obviously it has just been cleaned.
"I guessed right... the mermaids... the mermaids are cleaning up this royal tomb! Ahem! They don't care about Deng's fish hunting and trying to swim in, just to enter the royal tomb!" Fadu was very excited about his new discovery , "Someone used their habit of swimming and spawning similar to salmon to clean up the royal tomb!"
Chengquan looked up at the pictures: "Someone... The point is, who is it?"
"What are these paintings? Look at those long lines... are they snakes?" Luo Jia approached the mural, pointed to the one in front of him and said, "There are many ripples around the snake, and there are a bunch of small houses underneath. In the picture behind you, the snake is wrapped around the person... Oh, it’s the monk with the sword fighting the snake! So it’s a story about water flooding the golden mountain.”
"That's indeed a white snake, but the real story of flooding the golden mountain is far from the legend. The Fahai mentioned in the story is also a fabricated product." Chengquan pointed to the snake on the mural, "Did you see that the white snake's head was deliberate? A meat crown was carved."
Luo Jia was puzzled: "The meat crown...what can it explain?"
"The meat crown proves that it is a male."
"Male snake?" Luo Jia's eyes widened, "The white snake is a male!!!"
"What are you looking at, hurry up and let me go!" Luo Tuo couldn't wait for them to be curious, and kept urging behind him.Although the buoyancy of the water can offset a lot of weight, the pile of gold objects is still quite a challenge for him.
Fadu was terrified by Chengquan's words, and it was rare to reach a consensus with Luo Tuo: "Don't study the murals any more, let's go."
"Oh..." Luo Jia nodded, swam forward along the water, and suddenly said, "Is this how the story ends? The white snake ate the monk?"
Fadu looked over there, and saw half of the mural was submerged in the water.In the previous mural, the monk and the white snake were entangled in the most tragic fight, but in this one, the white snake clings to the monk and seems to be devouring him.
Fa Du was stunned.
He knew that the legendary Fahai did not exist, it could only be the founder of Huasheng Temple, the Yi Guoshi that Xiaobai spoke of.Judging from Xiaobai's attitude, even if Yi Guoshi is still there, he will never put Yi Guoshi to death.
"Hey, that's not right... it's not eating him..." Luo Jia was surprised, even a little embarrassed, "This mural looks like... a kiss..."
Fadu's heart seemed to be stabbed by something.
It turns out that Xiaobai and Yi Guoshi have this kind of relationship, and Xiaobai's weird behavior before has an explanation.
"Hey!" Luo Jia shouted again, "Chengquan, don't kick me, I haven't finished watching it yet!"
Cheng Quan's body froze suddenly: "I didn't kick you."
Everyone fell silent.
A black shadow appeared in the dark blue water below, moving slowly under the feet of Luo Jia and Cheng Quan.
Although it was not as huge as the one seen from the outside, it was enough to scare the few people in the water out of their wits.
Luo Jia kicked the water slowly, crying in her throat: "Liar! Didn't you say that Deng's fish can't get in!!!"
"I guess it was still a cub when it came in, and it can't get out when it grows up. The mermaid probably only comes in at a fixed time every year. The food source here is not enough, otherwise it will grow bigger." Chengquan also tried to let go Breathe slowly to hang yourself in the water, "Don't move around, don't attract its attention."
The camel carried so many gold objects, it was obviously more difficult when it was floating: "How long do we have to stay here?"
Chengquan replied coldly: "We have to stay as long as it stays."
The black shadow has been pacing back and forth under the feet of the crowd. Luo Tuo endured it for a few minutes with a pale face, and suddenly drew his gun again: "Bah, I can't last that long! If you want to die, let you die first!"
He subconsciously wanted to deal with Chengquan, but before he shot, he suddenly changed his mind and shot Hassan who was the closest!
"Just looking around..." Fadu tried to calm himself down: "Where should we go now?"
"Up." Chengquan pointed upward, "I'm going to the center of the mausoleum."
Luo Jia blinked: "What? You really want to move the coffin, aren't you afraid that he will cheat the corpse like in TV dramas or novels?"
