The huge body is looming in the river, but in fact this is our illusion. Because the color of the monster's back almost blended with the river water, I quickly turned off all the light sources and shouted to the fat man in a low voice: "Turn off the lights, turn off the lights!"
Based on the few pictures just now, I suddenly realized that we seemed to be in the position where we were feeding this dragon king crocodile. We are now standing on the feeding platform!
The appearance of the shark may have an explanation. It turns out that the secret of King Jing is this giant tyrannosaurus king crocodile!
The exposed back of Dragon King Crocodile is like a hill. If a person falls down at this time, it will be like an ant falling on the back of an elephant.
This is still the Dragon King Crocodile. Let’s just remove the last word and call it the Dragon King so that we can understand the hatred appropriately.
Thinking about it again, it is very likely that the three words "Longquan Water" originated from this. In that era, anyone who saw such a behemoth would think that it was the incarnation of the Dragon King.
It was previously believed that the tomb of King Longquan Jing was just the name of the Longquan Kingdom. Now we have to re-examine the true origin of this "Longquan".
I would venture to guess whether such a possibility exists.
The water in which the impure Dragon King Crocodile swims has the effect of immortality, but it must be mixed with a secret medicine. This secret medicine is swallowed by the Dragon King Crocodile and lasts for fifty years. Like ambergris, which is sperm whale poop. I came here to collect the feces of Longquan crocodiles. There are ingredients in feces that prolong life.
I don't know why I suddenly had such an idea. Based on the facts in front of me, we have already approached the core secret area of King Jing.
If such a big monster is not the ultimate secret of Longquan Tomb, what can be considered the ultimate?
The art of immortality and the prehistoric giant crocodile are combined in front of me. I can only deduce the relationship between the two from this perspective.
But soon my inference was confirmed. Long Wu was lying in the huge crevice in front of him. Suddenly he waved to me. In the darkness, I could only feel that he was greeting me, but I couldn't see which hand it was. I couldn't move, so I could only squirm over. Unexpectedly, he said directly to me: "There are paintings in this gap!"
I didn't react at first, so I stretched my neck and peered into the darkness. But I immediately realized that it seemed that not only did I forget that Long Wu had the ability to see at night, but he also forgot that normal people like us are capable of night vision in a dark environment. Can't see anything.
I said to Long Wu: "That thing in the river is just waiting for dinner. Don't dare to turn on the light source. You might as well tell me what you saw."
In the darkness, I could only hear Long Wu taking a deep breath. I was very close to him, but I couldn't see his expression clearly at this moment.
Long Wu said: "They should not just be a sacrificial activity. The pictures say they are taking something."
It was difficult for Long Wu to let him look at the pictures and speak, but as a listener, I felt even more uncomfortable than him.
He seemed to have said what he just said, but it felt like he didn't say anything.
He didn't mention what exactly the impure thing was about or what it was referring to. These important points were not mentioned at all.
I held the light source with my hand, trying to tentatively turn on a small ray of weak light.
But in this dark and turbulent environment, even the slightest light source is as dazzling as the sun.
Originally, our eyes seemed to be covered with a large piece of black cloth. It was so dark that even the outline of the huge boulder in front of us could not be distinguished unless we tried our best.
At first, I tightened my grip on the entire flashlight lens, and my fist was illuminated red. With this little light, I could see Long Wu grabbing the edge of the boulder and struggling to look down.
But as a ray of light narrower than my index finger burst out from between my fingers, the surroundings suddenly became the focus.
The fat man was the farthest away from me and Long Wu, but I could clearly hear his low-pitched curse: "Old Cao! Why are you so cool than me? Why don't you turn on the lights at this time!"
When the fat man finished shouting, there was a rumble in the water and the sound of a huge thing leaping up rang in my ears. Suddenly, my mind was filled with images of the dragon king crocodile leaping up and swallowing the strong bull in the stone paintings.
At this time, I didn't dare to let the bright light stay for one more second. I quickly turned the switch with my finger, but with just one second, I actually saw the outline of the picture in the gap between the huge rocks! And they are two separate pictures!
Perhaps this is the potential that people can unleash in extremely dangerous situations. I just felt that time slowed down in an instant.
The picture seemed to be stopped in front of me, but unfortunately the illumination range provided by the weak and narrow light was really limited. Although I felt that all the potential in my body was stimulated in an instant, I could only rely on imagination to imagine what would happen next. screen completion.
I can only say that my previous guess seemed to be correct. The scene in the gap between the boulders was described like this.
In Long Wu's simple words, he described it like this at the time: They should not be simply a sacrificial activity, but a picture of taking something.
This sounds very difficult to say, but when I saw this part of the picture, I suddenly understood all its meaning.
I also seemed to understand that this boulder was not intended to cover up the last image. It is possible that the surface of this boulder was completely exposed at the beginning, but after thousands of years of river erosion, it is unlikely that the boulder will be washed away. , but the stones on the bottom of the river will move.
But with the heavy pressure of the boulder, after the relatively small stones below are washed away, the huge pressure will immediately squeeze the remaining stones tightly.
So this boulder must have sunk! There are five pictures in total, all carved on one side of the stone. We just saw the first three pictures, and the most important thing is that they are the last two!
The previous third picture ended with the giant beast Crocodile rising into the air and swallowing all the strong cattle in mid-air into its throat.
But the fourth picture suddenly returned to calmness, but the calmness was full of weirdness. Because all the trackers on the ancient towpath have disappeared.
Since I glanced at the picture in limited light, my intuitive feeling was that all the trackers had disappeared. However, there is another possibility, that is, some of the trackers still exist, but they are just depicted in the dark and undiscovered environment. The illuminated part, that's why I didn't see it.
But these are secondary. The most important thing is the suddenly quiet river. The details described in the picture are amazing. The water level of the river dropped due to the leap of Crocodile Dragon, and then the water level returned to the bottom because Crocodile Dragon sank to the bottom again.
Dragon King Crocodile sank to the bottom of the water, only to open a bloody mouth on the surface of the water. The abyss was like a bottomless pit that could not be filled no matter what.
You cannot see the depth of the crocodile's throat when it opens its mouth, because it has a bulge of skin and flesh at the throat. If it is not something it wants to swallow, it will not enter the belly of the crocodile.
The fifth picture is also the most important picture. When the Dragon King crocodile opens its big mouth and stills the water, the dozen soldiers on the towpath suddenly become the focus. They throw several huge "flowers" into the Dragon King. The position where the crocodile opens its mouth.
Because I had a rough look at both pictures, some details could not be scrutinized carefully. The way the soldiers threw things down did look like a very ancient flower-like creature: Huang's blood orchid!
Huang's blood orchid grows in extremely dense forests, and it is the deepest old forest, with a cliff in the center of the forest.
Due to such extremely harsh living conditions, Huang's Blood Orchid has only appeared four times in paper records since ancient times.
The name Huang's Blood Orchid comes from the surname of Huang Junfu, a legendary hero in the early Tang Dynasty.
Everyone knows about Xu Xiake in modern times, but few people know about Huang Junfu in the early Tang Dynasty.
Huang Junfu can be regarded as a unique figure among ancient explorers. He knows astronomy, is good at geography, is good at Bagua, and has knowledge of Qimen. Traveling across the land of China can be accomplished by just one person.
He has explored countless primitive jungles, strange mountains and deep seas in his life, but no one knows what he is tracing.
In the ancient primeval forest, everything returns to its most primitive natural state. The environment must be serene and intoxicating, with towering trees, luxuriant flowers and plants, tinkling springs, all kinds of animals that the world has never seen before, and countless insects coexisting in harmony.
In fact, many wild animals are already on the verge of extinction before they are discovered. When discovered, they may be only a few days away from complete extinction.
Huang Junfu left behind three wonderful books in his life: "Tiger in the Forest", "Dragon in the Sea" and "Phoenix in the Sky". These three wonderful books respectively record his life experience as an adventure ranger, the strange beasts in the land and forests, and the monsters in the deep lakes and seas. Fish, I have never seen a bird in the sky that cannot be named.
Huang's blood orchid was discovered by him at the bottom of a cliff. It is rare for ordinary people to see this type of flower bloom once in a lifetime, but Huang Junfu witnessed the entire process of its blooming with his own eyes.
According to the blood orchid chapter of Huang Junfu's "Tiger in the Forest", all Huang's blood orchids are in full bloom, just like the vicissitudes of life.
This means that Huang Junfu did not notice a small flower bone at first. He just happened to want to rest at the bottom of the cliff for a few days and record the strange flowers and plants and wild beasts in the forest he saw along the way.
On the second day, Huang Junfu found a larger flower bone not far from where he lived. However, in his past travels, he had never encountered a plant that could grow several times overnight, so he still didn't take it seriously. go.
Until the third day, the original text is recorded as follows: The beginning is like a finger, then it is like a fist, the next is like fighting, and it ends at Bajiao!
This means that when he first saw the blood orchid flower bud, it was as small as the tip of a finger, but when he saw it the next day, it was as big as a fist. When he saw it the next day, it was already as big as a bucket, and finally the size was no different from a banana leaf. !
What kind of flower can grow crazily under the gaze of human eyes, and it must be the blood orchid.
The buds of the blood orchid are yellow, turn to white when they are about the size of a fist, blue when they are as big as a bucket, and finally turn bright blood red when they grow into the size of a banana leaf.
The same flower experienced four extreme color changes in just a few days, making Huang Junfu feel as if he was in a dream.
But for blood orchids, the flowers bloom strangely and die even more quickly.
From the beginning of crazy growth to the final decline, there is almost no opportunity for people to carefully review the records.
Later, Huang Jun helped dig out the fallen rhizome of the blood orchid, and found that the rhizome had already extended for tens of meters, and there were signs of ginseng in each rhizome segment.
So after Huang Junfu saw the shocking magic of the blood orchid, he immediately searched all the ancient books, hoping to find some clues, because at that time, Huang Junfu saw the blood orchid for the first time, which was a rare thing.
Therefore, it is still impossible to determine the specific scene that can produce bleeding orchids. The hard work has paid off. In the state of preservation of ancient books at that time, Huang Junfu found two records. Both records did not name this flower, but recorded that Huang Jun Another shocking secret that Fu didn't know was that before the Blood Orchid's defeat, it could be eaten like an animal, and its body shape was not restricted by the sky. That is to say, if a dog eats it, the dog can grow into the size of a bear, and if a bear eats it, the bear can grow into the size of an African elephant. If an African elephant ate it, it would be unimaginable.
So based on this extension, Huang Junfu thought about what would happen if a person ate blood orchid?
As the spirit of all things and the master of all things, man may not be a simple extension of his body shape. Will he have the miraculous effect of immortality?
But unfortunately, Huang Junfu did not pursue the art of immortality. After he thought he understood the ins and outs of the blood orchid, he stopped exploring it. And boldly named this flower: blood orchid.
Later it was called: Huang's blood orchid. It is entirely because of the subsequent explorers who enhanced its reputation.
