Chapter 6: Legend of the Dragon King (Bone in the Stone Kiln)
We rowed the boat and could see the river beside the distance. After crossing the river beside, heavy fog appeared on the river surface again, rushing towards us layer by layer, and soon wrapped the boat around.
"Don't move around, otherwise I will not save anyone who falls into the water."
I warned that they didn't speak, so I could only look at his figure faintly and glance at Xiao Shi. I secretly pulled out Grandpa Huang's silver shiny sickle and kept it at hand.
The boat continued to row forward, and the surroundings were white and silent. I could only hear the sound of the boat breaking through the water. They didn't speak, and I couldn't speak, so I had to row my own boat with peace of mind.
"Scroll back"
Xiao Shi reminded that we arrived at this position yesterday, and then we took a step back to the Dragon King Temple. Upon hearing this, I held the bamboo pole and paddled backwards.
Seeing the boat moving backwards, the person sitting in front finally couldn't help but speak.
"Brother, are you?"
The man named Uncle Wen spoke. I could hear his voice, "Stay quietly, don't talk nonsense."
I said, and the speed of the boat could not help but speed up. The boat moved backwards and quickly broke through the thick fog. Then I turned the bow of the boat with a bamboo pole, "The Dragon King Temple has arrived."
I shouted, and everyone stood up together, and saw a familiar broken eaves and walls appearing in front of me. My heart shrank. That day, I did have a dry thunder out of thin air, which scared Qian Qian to scream.
"Nine, this yin energy is so thick, it's rare."
Xiao Shi muttered in my ear.
"Who are you talking to?"
However, Qian Qian, who was still panicked, heard the information, and she suddenly turned around and questioned.
"I said the yin energy of this Dragon King Temple is so strong that it is rare."
I repeated Xiao Shi's words and reduced her suspicion. She stared at me for a long time before turning around.
I secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and I pushed the boat over with the bamboo pole in my hand.
The boat slowly leaned against the river in the Dragon King Temple. After stopping, a young man immediately took out a round thing and threw it on the ground. The thing rotated quickly. He frowned, "Uncle Wen, the yin energy is indeed very heavy!"
"Everything is gone, Qian Qian is in the middle, be careful!"
Uncle Wen looked bad and gave a deep voice, and he took the lead in jumping down first, and the people behind him were also boating one by one.
“Moving mountains”
Xiao Shi whispered.
After all the nine people got ashore, Uncle Wen turned around and glanced at me, "Little brother, you go back first, come and pick us up in seven days, the same price."
"If you want, I will wait for you here in seven days."
I responded, Uncle Wen nodded, waved his hand at me, and then took the people to the Dragon King Temple. They used military flashlights, which were much more advanced than my broken oil lamp.
Seeing them walking far away, I quickly supported the boat and parked it, tied the boat to the cornerstone, and carried something on my back and followed Xiao Shi.
"Xiao Shi, pay attention to sensing Grandpa Huang's soul"
I went to Xiao Shidao, and he nodded on my shoulder, indicating that I knew that I followed them closely, and the group was walking while looking at the map. They tinkered under the shore of the Dragon King statue for a long time, and after lifting a stone slab, there was a black thief hole extending under the table.
"They probably have read the notes of the person coming in front, otherwise how could they know about the stolen hole?"
Uncle Wen and the others must have contact with the people coming ahead, otherwise they would not have known the thief hole they left behind so accurately.
"Don't worry, we followed them and went down the hole and said!"
Xiao Shi said, I nodded and looked at them quietly. After Uncle Wen and his friends opened the thief hole, two young men hit the front, one followed the other down the hole.
I waited for about five or six minutes before passing, and I was afraid that the hole would be straight, so that it would be easy to detect when I turned on the light.
I ran to the entrance of the thief, took the oil lamp and glanced in, grabbed a handful of soil at the entrance of the hole, sniffed it in my nose, and leaned close to the oil lamp and took a look.
"Mom, this is bloody"
I was so scared that blood and soil appeared, which proved that there was definitely a tomb below.
"Depending on the concentration, are you sure you want to go down?"
Xiao Shi was a little worried, and I didn’t want to go down, but when I remembered Grandpa Huang’s loving face, I immediately became ruthless and took the land on the thief hole.
"Down, you can't beat it and run away"
After making up my mind, I took the lead, Xiao Shi jumped on his shoulders and jumped down. Although the oil lamp was dark, it was also dazzling in a completely dark environment.
Because the oil lamps are low in spotlight, I can only see about five or six meters ahead. I walked very slowly to avoid colliding with them.
The holes were stolen neatly, and the land auctions were solid. There were also foot pits carefully left in places with slopes.
We walked for about ten minutes, and an exit appeared in the sight of the oil lamp. I jumped out without hesitation. The material only felt a cold under my feet and my body fell into the water. The cold water stimulated my body to tremble. I cursed this damn tomb robber and actually opened the exit of the robber hole on the dark river. It was simply a tendency to be self-abuse.
I swam ashore from the river in panic, and I lay wet on the dry river sand. I rolled back and forth in the sand, hoping to use the sand to make myself dry. I don’t want to be in the cold all the time, as this will affect my judgment.
"Shhh... don't make a sound, do you hear that there is any sound in this space?"
Xiao Shi suddenly said in a low voice, scaring my heart so much that I shrank. I quickly lay down quietly, raised my ears and listened to the movements around me.
I heard the sound of water flowing before. After listening for a long time, I could hear a vague sound, just like the ups and downs of a night bird when sleeping, very weak.
I quickly got up with the oil lamp, shook the soil on my body, and shook the light on the sand. The pile of sand on the river was flat, and occasionally there were not big areas of ups and downs, but there were no footprints I wanted to see, which made my heart sank.
"Mom's go, they didn't leave here"
I was so angry that the tomb robbers were quite scheming. I was afraid that the exit was opened at the corner and I couldn't see the road clearly, so I saw them.
"Stop complaining, let's sneak over and see what's ahead first."
Xiao Shi hurriedly said, I quickly pulled up my backpack, took off the Luoyang shovel, and ran over the stone wall with my waist. Although the movement was very light, the sound was still quite loud, and the sound of the gurgling sound became louder and louder. There was a slope with a very large slope in front of me. The smooth stone wall was lit up and could almost be used as a mirror.
After looking at the left, there was no road, I had to use a sprint and then jumped up in one step. Fortunately, it was not too far. I grabbed the stone wall, gritted my teeth and hung it on the slope, kicked my feet, and climbed up against the stone wall.
There is an opening on the slope, with a row of small stone caves lined up along the edge. The sound of cooing in my ears was very loud, and I couldn't help but reach out to cover a stone cave.
The sound of gurgling suddenly became much smaller. It turned out that the sound was the sound of the wind blowing through the cave.
"The lights are turned off, there are people below!"
Xiao Shi suddenly said anxiously, I blew out the oil lamp in panic, and saw several flashlights of light passing through the darkness and hitting the stone wall in the dark space below. Uncle Wen and his group were below.
In front of them was a huge stone kiln with many stones around them. In the light of their flashlight, there were also coal and other things. Xiao Shiyi and I were confused.
"What age is this tomb?"
I couldn't help asking.
"How could I know, but if the stone kiln was a product of the same period, then the tomb was not long."
I just cared about him for a long time. Since I entered this tomb, I felt panic in my back. Now I was thinking about finding Grandpa Huang’s soul and leaving this tomb quickly.
The few people below looked around the stone kiln for a few times and could hear their conversations vaguely. Uncle Wen asked Qian Qian's sarcastic words, as if he was asking about the age of the stone kiln. Qian Qian told him that the stone kiln was modern because the stone kiln was made of cement.
Upon hearing this, I couldn't help but feel a sank in my heart. The stone kiln is modern, and there are also things so close to cement. This means that someone must have come in this tomb in ten years, and there are quite a few. But why did they build a stone kiln here? Burn lime? I dare not even think about it. Unless there is no stone in this place, people dare to go into this big tomb to burn lime.
After watching for a long time, they had no idea, so they continued to walk forward. I pulled the slope and jumped down. Fortunately, it was not high and it was easy to land. When the space got dark again, I blew the oil lamp and ran to the stone kiln.
I looked down and saw that the base below was made of cement, while the body of the kiln was made of lime and stone.
I opened a mouth in front of me, probably enough to see a person entering. The kiln was pitch black and the oil lamp was not shining enough, so I couldn't see what was inside.
Xiao Shi was not very content on his shoulders and kept looking forward.
"What's wrong?"
I couldn't help asking, but saw him sucking the air hard while looking. After sucking for a long time, he whispered, "There is something strange in this kiln."
"Freaky? What's weird?"
"I feel it should be an altar!"
"Don't joke, how can something modern-day construction be an altar?"
I looked at him with disbelief, mainly because the kiln and the altar are too different, and it is a modern product, so it shouldn't be an altar.
"You'll know if you go in and take a look?"
Hearing this, I glanced at the stone kiln with a puzzled look on my face and walked in with an oil lamp. The lower part of the stone kiln was very white, and the upper part was pitch black due to smoke, covered with thick smoke and stains.
"Looking at this lime, don't you find any difference?"
Xiao Shi stood on his shoulder and pointed at the white lime path. I put the oil lamp close to watch and found that there was a trace of red in the white lime. I grabbed it and rubbed it in my hand. The red and lime ginseng were combined together, so it was not cinnabar.
I walked around the stone kiln with an oil lamp. Unexpectedly, I stepped on something under my feet and made a slight click. I stopped, reached out to grab it, and it felt moist. After I raised my hand, the oil lamp came over and the blood in one hand scared me and took a few steps back. I seemed to be pulling something under my feet, and I was taken out after I stepped back.
