I had a vague feeling that the golden toad in front of me was deceitful. It was most likely that the ghost guard guarding the mausoleum had used a formation to conjure it up.
Ziyue looked back at me, smiled and said to me: "Qiao Yang, maybe you haven't heard the story about the Golden Toad! It is said that on the second floor of the prince's tomb, there is a place called the Golden House.
There will be a golden toad there. As long as you catch the golden toad, the treasure will be yours."
"It's amazing. I saw information that said that as long as you hold it still for about nine seconds, that is, nine seconds, the golden toad will show its original shape. When your hand comes back again
When you open it, you will find that what is in front of you is a gold ingot that shines with golden light."
After Ziyue said that, she turned around and walked slowly towards the golden toad.
I took a closer look and found that this golden toad was many times smaller than the one Chao saw earlier.
The golden toad that Brother Chao saw was as big as a blue ball, but this golden toad was only as big as a mouse.
"Whoa!"
Jin Chan puffed out his cheeks, widened his eyes and shouted.
Ziyue looked at the golden toad, her eyes widened, she turned back excitedly, and whispered to me: "Qiao Yang, this golden toad is so cute! I really want to take it home.
Raise it, don’t let it turn into a gold ingot.”
This girl was really cute when she said this.
At the beginning, I thought she and that guy Chao Ge were of the same character, only looking for money and not even giving up their lives when they saw the golden toad. Now I see compassion and kindness in this girl's eyes.
The reason why she wanted to catch this golden toad was just to satisfy her curiosity, and probably to prove whether this was really the case.
Now that she has really seen Jin Chan, this girl seems reluctant to let him go.
Ziyue stared at the golden toad for a long time, then stretched out her hand, ready to cover the golden toad.
Suddenly, a scream of "Ouch" came from behind us.
My Ziyue immediately turned her head to look.
I saw a figure emerging from the lotus leaf under the glazed wall. A golden toad was jumping ashore.
A closer look revealed that it was Lao Fan who was catching the golden toad.
Lao Fan pounced forward, missed the target, and fell heavily to the ground.
In front of him, a golden toad as big as a bowl of rice was jumping.
"Ouch!" Lao Fan got up, and soon his whole body went limp again.
Seeing this, Ziyue ran quickly towards Lao Fan without caring about catching the golden toad in front of her.
"Lao Fan, are you okay?" Ziyue supported Lao Fan with her hands.
Lao Fan smiled bitterly, looked at the golden toad in front of him and said, "It's okay, I want to catch this guy."
With that said, Lao Fan got up again and prepared to pounce forward.
I looked at his legs and was startled.
I saw that this guy's pants had already had holes in them, and his knees were bleeding. Looking at his hands, it was scary. There were two long scratches on his wrists.
The blood is flowing down from the mouth.
Despite this, this boy's eyes were full of greed, and he didn't care at all about his injuries.
He gritted his teeth and endured the pain, preparing to pounce on the golden toad again.
Seeing this, Ziyue shouted to him: "Old fan, forget it! You have fallen like this."
"No! How much will this thing be worth if you catch it! Brother Chao has already caught several of them." Lao Fan gritted his teeth, pulled Ziyue away with his hand, and tiptoed towards the golden toad.
The golden toad screamed "Wow", but it didn't seem to have any intention of leaving.
The old man smiled proudly and whispered softly: "Baby! You are mine."
As he said this, the guy pounced on the golden toad.
"Ouch!"
He pounced hard, followed by another scream. His hands were scratched by the sand on the ground, and the blood stained the sand under him red.
And the golden toad, just when he was about to get close to it, jumped away with all its strength.
This scene is really weird. I know that this must not be a real gold and silver treasure, but must be the ghost in the tomb. This thing can kill people.
Just when I was thinking this in my heart.
Lao Fan got up again, slowly approached the golden toad in front, and then prepared for a new round of attack.
Seeing this guy's bloody appearance, Ziyue persuaded him again.
"Old fan, forget it. I see you're hurt like this, so don't torture yourself anymore. Otherwise, I'll catch you later and give you one."
Ziyue replied to Lao Fan.
After saying that, the girl walked forward slowly and seriously.
The golden toad's eyelids moved slightly, but had no intention of jumping away.
Ziyue bit her lip lightly, with a smile on her face.
Suddenly seeing her, he jumped forward slightly and pounced on the golden toad in front of him.
"Whoa! Whoa!"
Jin Chan was pinned down by Zi Yue.
She shouted excitedly: "I caught it, I caught it! Lao Fan, come and help me. This golden toad is yours. It only works if you hold it down."
When Lao Fan saw this, he immediately ran over and pressed his hands on the golden toad.
"I'm rich, I'm rich! Now I finally have money to marry a wife." This guy laughed so hard that his mouth split open.
They both held down the golden toad at the same time, and finally released it after a while.
When they removed their hands from the golden toad, what appeared in front of us was a gold ingot as big as a bowl of rice.
Lao Fan glanced at Zi Yue excitedly and said with a smile: "Zi Yue, can you give me half of this gold ingot? I, I really need it."
It seems that this guy is not very greedy, at least he knows how to give half of it to Ziyue.
Ziyue let go of the piece of gold ingot and said to Lao Fan with a relaxed expression: "It's okay, this piece of gold ingot is all for you. I don't want it anymore."
"Really!" Lao Fan said with tears falling down. Obviously, he did not expect Ziyue to be so generous.
"Of course it's true." Ziyue replied calmly, "But don't torment yourself like this anymore. The old man who knows fortune telling just now told us not to be too greedy. I'll do the same later.
A small golden toad will call it a day. It is said that there are rules in the tomb, and those who are too greedy will generally not end well."
Lao Fan glanced at his injured hands and feet, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
After that, the guy took out a cloth bag from his pocket, threw the heavy gold ingot into the cloth bag, then tied a knot at the mouth of the cloth bag and carried it on his shoulder.
.
"Brother, when you come here, don't you want to make a fortune?"
Seeing my indifferent look, Lao Fan asked curiously.
"I'll find one later, let's get another one! I haven't found the right one yet." I replied with a smile.
At this time, Ziyue added: "By the way, it is said that the golden toad in the golden house will turn into gold only if the first person finds it and catches it, otherwise it will disappear if caught. Just now
If I had just pressed down on that golden toad, it would have definitely disappeared into the soil and disappeared without a trace. Fortunately, I asked Lao Fan to press it too. Otherwise, it would have definitely sunk into the soil and disappeared."
After hearing what this girl said, I really didn't know what to say.
These golden toads must be the incarnation of ghosts. I really want to tell them loudly, but I know that they will not believe me if I say so.
Fortunately, Lao Fan was not very greedy. After listening to Ziyue's advice, he stopped looking for the golden toad. He only occasionally glanced around with his peripheral vision, but did not go out to look for it.
I looked around. In the entire Golden House, apart from the lotus flowers under the glazed wall, there were also gardens and ponds not far away. This place looked more like the back garden of a palace.
"Strange, where have they all gone?" Ziyue frowned and said.
Lao Fan took over and said: "I don't know, I came in with Brother Chao at the first time. This guy is indeed a special forces soldier, and he is very good at catching golden toads. It didn't take long to see him catch three toads that were as big as blue balls.
He's a big golden toad. I don't know where this kid is now. I think this kid is going to make a fortune."
When Lao Fan said this, there was envy in his eyes. Apparently, he still felt a little regretful that he could not catch the golden toad.
"Where are Zhang Dachui, Gong Yuemei, Xiaoyun and the others?" Ziyue asked. For this girl, the safety of her teammates is more important. She doesn't seem to care much about Jin Chan anymore.
"After I came in, I just went to catch the golden toad. I have no idea where they went." Lao Fan replied.
"Okay! Let's look for it again." After Ziyue finished speaking, she raised her head and shouted loudly.
"Xiaoyun, Gong Yuemei..."
As soon as he shouted, a very clear echo came from the opposite wall.
"Xiaoyun, Gong Yuemei..."
Ziyue's face immediately darkened. She glanced at me nervously and said, "Why is the echo in this place so loud?"
"Forget it, let's just go ahead and take a look! See if we can find any clues."
Looking at the pond in front of me, I was indeed worried about them.
I was thinking in my mind, what if some ghost turned into a golden toad and jumped into the pond, and the person chasing it also jumped in. That would be a sure death.
It's really scary when you think about it.
Ziyue glanced at Lao Fan, probably because she felt a little worried, and comforted him: "Lao Fan, just wait for us here. No matter whether we find our teammates or not, we will definitely be back in forty minutes. Remember.
, you are not allowed to catch me any more golden toads. Otherwise, I have the right to take back the golden toads in your pocket."
"Okay. I'll listen to you." The old man smiled naively.
This guy's feet and hands were injured, making it really inconvenient for him to move. Now that he already has a gold ingot, he probably won't look for the golden toad anymore.
Ziyue and I walked straight along the pond. Along the way, we basically didn't hear a sound of golden toads calling, and we didn't see any golden toads.
I couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.
There is a saying in Buddhism that goes well.
Everything is created by the mind. Illusion techniques use the principle of human mind. When a person is obsessed with something, something will appear in front of his eyes.
When Ziyue and I first came in, we could hear the cry of the golden toad. At that time, we both had thoughts about the golden toad. But now we can't see or hear the golden toad. That's because I
At this moment, both of them only have the safety of their teammates in mind.
"Wow!" Suddenly I heard a cry of frogs coming from the front, and then, a figure emerged from the lotus leaves in front of me.
It's Brother Chao.
I looked in front of Brother Chao and was startled.
A golden toad, as big as a washbasin, was puffing out its cheeks and moaning "woo wow" and "woo wow" in front of Brother Chao.
"I told you to run!"
Brother Chao pounced on the golden toad.
The golden toad jumped into the pond in front.
Brother Chao also rushed over.
"Hey! Boy, you don't want your life..." I shouted loudly and immediately chased after him.
Boom!
There was a loud noise, a wave of waves splashed from the pond in front, and Brother Chao's body was submerged into the dense pond water.
"Hurry! Brother Chao has fallen into the water." Ziyue shouted loudly and ran towards the pond in front. I also ran over.
Unexpectedly, before we arrived at the pond, we suddenly saw a golden light shining, and then a golden toad as big as a fist jumped out from the lotus leaves.
