Everyone was silent for a full two minutes, and finally Ling Hao cleared his dry throat and said: "I said, this long speech of yours is not your own 'creation', right? It was still 1959, when you were still in the bottle I'm soaking in it, how do you know this?"
"Bah! Can you still talk properly? You are just soaking in the bottle!" Shui Lingxing rolled his eyes and started to reply with a "smoking and drinking voice": "Do you think I am as degenerate as you? I don't care about you Was it when you were secretly communicating with the wealthy daughter in the port city and Shanghai in the name of doing business, or were you taking your little girlfriend scuba diving all over the Mediterranean, and then hiding shamelessly in Sicily to have sex day and night? When I was young, I always went into the online world and kept learning, okay? Every word I say is correct, and when it comes to my 'creation', be careful I'll beat you to death!"
Ling Hao swallowed and curled up his neck and smiled, not daring to reply. With a little carelessness, this mermaid aunt divided the events in Sicily into hundreds of chapters and broadcast them to the outside world with added details. Does she still want her own face?
Tian Yong and Xueting were not stupid either. They immediately grasped the key point of the problem and immediately looked at Ling Hao with evil intentions. Tian Yong even smiled evilly and nudged the former with his elbow and said: "Okay. , no wonder it took so long in Europe, it turns out that's what happened. Boss, if I don't agree with anyone else, I will only obey you. You are the one who has been working day and night for a month. If you were a buddy, I would probably have died. Well, you are so brave that you didn’t even buy a few sheep kidneys to supplement your health when you arrived in Qiemo County?”
Xueting also laughed and joked: "Has it reached this level? Even the honeymoon has been paid for in advance, and you still hide it from us? When are you planning to hold a wedding reception?"
Ling Hao wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in. He blushed and frowned: "Don't make trouble, what time is it? Can you be more serious?" After Tian Yong and Xueting stopped, he looked at Shui Lingxing again: "Even if What can we do if that 'Andean Alonso protozoa' is under our feet? Can you help us get out?"
Shui Lingxing rolled her eyes at him and said: "I don't know if I can go out, but the emergence of the 'Andean Alonzo protozoa' explains a lot of problems. The whorl nerve is a good thing, and the protozoa with it is like immortality. Likewise, we don’t know the origins of these symbiotic bugs. Anyway, as long as there are protozoa, there will be endless bugs like lugworms. This is the truth of an extremely prosperous food chain in this small ecosystem. I think the feud between the spotted snakehead and the dragon king salamander is also caused by the 'Andean Alonso protozoa'. One wants to protect, the other wants to destroy. The two populations have been fighting around this monster for who knows how long. Maybe this protozoa Its tentacles have already reached up, but we didn’t notice it.”
Xueting sighed and said, "It's useless for you to talk so much. It's better to think about how to get rid of this woman's body. It will stink soon."
Tian Yong didn't have the patience to listen to Shui Lingxing's long talk. He had already gone to the water to catch fish with a spear gun. At this moment, he was walking back with two nearly one meter long spotted snakehead. After hearing Xueting's words, he said: "This Still not easy to handle? I think there seems to be a hole in the middle of the island, with a diameter of just over half a meter. I think we can throw her directly into the hole, which can be regarded as a 'cave burial'."
"If you can imagine it, it shouldn't be the mouth of this protozoa." Although Xueting hated Natasha, she still couldn't feed her to the bugs.
"Ashes return to dust, soil returns to soil. People eat animals while they are alive. Why can't they be eaten by animals after they die? It is better to be buried in the mouth of an immortal insect than to rot in a pile of insect feces, right?" Ling Hao said in this regard Feeling free and easy, he stepped forward to pick up Natasha's body and walked towards the entrance of the cave that Tian Yong mentioned.
This hole should indeed be the mouth of the "Andean Alonso protozoa". Anyway, for this coelenterate-like species, it would be extremely difficult to distinguish the front and back doors. There might not even be one door at all. Ling Hao stood at the entrance of the cave and looked down. He couldn't see anything in the dark hole. There was no air flow, no smell, and no slimy appearance as expected. The only thing that made people uncomfortable was the appearance of the entrance of the cave, and what everyone imagined. The picture is almost the same, but it is extremely indescribable.
Ling Hao thought for a moment and said to Natasha's body: "Let's all be considerate of each other. Death is like a light going out, but leaving your body exposed and watching you rotting, firstly, I can't stand it, and secondly, there's no smell." You can bear it. This big guy is called 'Andean Alonzo Protozoa'. It is said that it is immortal and immortal. Isn't it awesome? It's like a beast of chaos. How about giving you a little fairy spirit with it? Maybe it will I will be in bliss after death." After talking nonsense, he gently lowered Natasha's head and feet from the hole. As soon as he loosened his hand, the body disappeared immediately, without any sense of blockage. Then there was an ordinary sound, which turned out to be the sound of an object falling to the ground, and it also had a little echo. Could it be that there was an open space below? ? This is in the belly of the protozoa. How can there be empty space in the belly?
The faces of Ling Hao and others became serious, and they exchanged glances with each other. Their long-term cooperation made the communication between them no longer necessary for words. Tian Yong took out a bundle of 10-meter-long ropes from his diving bag. This was not a thick rope used for rock climbing, but a thin cable for underwater fixation. Although it was only a little thicker than a computer network cable, the inside It is wrapped with steel wire and is extremely tough, even if it can lift five or six adults, there will be no problem. Moreover, the thin rope makes it easy to carry. A 10-meter-long bundle can be held in the carrying bag. Although it is not much, the sound of Natasha's body falling to the ground just now should not be high, so it is definitely enough.
When the rope was lowered, Ling Hao took the lead. He lit his headlamp and slid down the cave entrance, followed closely by Tian Yong, Xueting and Shui Lingxing. They had diving masks and didn't have to worry about lack of oxygen in the cave. The man was full of courage, and he entered the belly of a prehistoric giant insect without any scruples.
This was a medium-sized space, about five or six meters high, and roughly as wide as a basketball court. What shocked them was that under the light, they could clearly see that this was a man-made place. In other words, it is a man-made "hall". Six copper pillars as thick as telephone poles stood on the four walls. Shui Lingxing looked at these copper pillars and said, "Look what is wrapped around these pillars."
Everyone was not too surprised because they had seen the things on the copper pillars. Everyone is used to having dragons wrapped around pillars, but each of these six copper pillars has a black, dry "mermaid" wrapped around it like a snake, while the two hands are clasped together in prayer. Like, the whole head is raised upwards, as if singing loudly. The ancients said: "The shark fat can be used to make a long candle, which can last for thousands of years if burned in a tomb." This may be a bit exaggerated. Even if the shark fat is resistant to burning and the tomb is sealed, it will still be destroyed if there is no oxygen. Fall? Ling Hao took out a portable underwater blowtorch and lit it on a shark's mouth. Sure enough, it lit up. Only then did everyone see clearly. It turned out that every shark's mouth was open, and the tongue had long been gone. There was only a thick wick deeply inserted into his throat and two inches long extending from his mouth. After it was lit, a bright red flame ignited. Not only did it not have any smoke, there was even a faint trace of saying. The scent is completely different from floral, sandalwood, etc. It is more like a musky animal scent, mixed with a little salty smell, which makes people feel indescribably weird when smelling it.
The six "mermaid lamps" were all lit up, making the entire "hall" glow red, but it was not very bright. Everyone no longer focused on the "mermaid lamp" and began to examine everything placed in this "hall".
The place where they came down was close to the edge of the "hall". There was a pool in the middle of the "hall". There was a shallow layer of light red liquid in the pool, and a huge bronze "Jian Fou" was placed in the liquid. "Fou" vessels are not uncommon. During the Olympic Games a few years ago, a large group of people performed "Fou beating". The most famous one was the "Zeng Hou Yi" unearthed from the "Zeng Hou Yi Tomb". "Bronze Jian Fou" is an ancient wine shop and the earliest "refrigerator" in the world. It is divided into two parts: "Jian" and "Fou". "Jian" is a square "set" with exquisite workmanship on the outside. "Box" and "Fou" are the vessels that are placed inside the "Jian" to hold wine. In summer, ice is placed in the "Jian" to chill the wine in the "Fou". In winter, ice is not placed in the "Fou" but hot water is placed to warm the wine. It is definitely the crystallization of the wisdom of ancient people, and also shows the luxury and comfort of ancient noble life.
There is a huge piece of white jade near the center of the wall. It is cut flat, like a stone slab more than a foot thick and the size of a single bed. The color of this white jade is as warm as water and as white as gelatin. It is holding a piece of fine Hetian jade. , and it is so big, it can be called a valuable treasure.
However, this is nothing. There is a white jade coffin parked on the jade slab. This coffin is the same size as a normal coffin and is polished very smoothly. The edges of the coffin are decorated with simple moire inscriptions. The whole coffin is simple and smooth, with a The ancient sense of "Han Ba Dao", in terms of value, is much higher than that of the jade slab. There is a black sandstone slab lying crooked on the ground in front of the coffin. I don’t know what it is used for. Apart from that, there are only some copper sacrificial vessels and some white porcelain, celadon, and black pottery left in the "hall." The utensils were piled in the corner.
"Okay, this is a tomb. I knew that sooner or later we would have to walk up this road. There is no clear connection between exploration and tomb robbing. What, let's light candles and open the coffin?" Where can Tian Yong have candles? He took out a cold firework from his carrying bag and was eager to try it.
"Let's go, do you look like Captain Jin? Just be careful that a 'big rice dumpling' pops out of the coffin and strangles you to death!" Xueting pinched the guy's ears and carried him aside.
Ling Hao became interested in the black sandstone slabs lying on the ground. He walked over and squatted aside, turning on his headlight and watching carefully.
"Shui Lingxing, come here and take a look. Do you recognize this word?" Shui Lingxing was staring blankly at the pool where the bronze "Jian Fou" was soaked. He woke up after Ling Hao shouted and came to his side.
"Don't tell me, I actually know these two words, 'Sword Tomb'." Shui Lingxing nodded and said with a profound expression.
"Pfft", before Ling Hao said anything, Xueting was happy at first: "How long has this Ling Hao been lying on the bed in Sicily? So that you can even learn the ancient Western characters on the Internet? And he can speak with just one mouth Damn it, you can call him a bitch, but 'bastard' is too much, even the ancestors are involved."
Shui Lingxing's eyes widened, and he cursed in a loud voice: "Don't be ridiculous, it's not the bitch you are talking about, but the 'Sword Tomb' where the sword is buried. And this language is not something I have learned recently. I learned it from my elders before I was alive. This is the Tocharian language used by the 'Ancient Shanshan Country'. It is probably lost among humans, but it was passed down by the 'Wing Demon Clan' and became their language. Exclusive text.”
"That means that inside this white jade coffin is not a dead person, but a sword. Could it be the 'Sword of Damocles'?" Ling Hao responded to the "Winged Demon Clan"'s "spitting fire" "Luo Yu" is not interested at all.
"There is a sword in the coffin? Isn't that a disease? A good sword is not a dead person. What is the custom of burying it in a coffin?" Tian Yong put away the cold fireworks angrily, as if he was not satisfied that there was no "big rice dumpling" in the coffin. "Quite disappointed.
Shui Lingxing shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "Then how do I know? Maybe King Qiemo really buried the 'Sword of Damocles' like a monster. Or maybe there was a peerless swordsman who was addicted to swords as much as his life. , maybe buried together with the sword. Do you want to open the coffin? If you do, be careful, lest a 'big rice dumpling' pop out and wipe us all out with one move of 'Sword Breaks the Sky' ."
"Well, I see you're not doing anything serious online, you're just reading novels, right?" Ling Hao rolled his eyes at Shui Lingxing, pulled out the "Dragon Arc" sword, and walked towards the jade coffin.
Everyone became excited, and Tian Yong even pulled out all the "Tiger Tooth" sabers, preparing to "be promoted to official position and make a fortune."
The coffin lid had no mortise and tenon structure, and there were no coffin nails. Ling Hao just pushed hard, and the white jade coffin lid, which weighed several hundred kilograms, slowly moved aside.
A blast of cold air made four people feel chills on their necks at the same time. Ling Hao even yelled, "Damn, that's such a sharp sword energy! Is my head here?!"
