[4600-word chapter] Chapter 160 The decisive battle in the cave (1)
Yuwen Jianxue's destination was in the weeds at the foot of a low hillside in the cemetery.
Wu Ma carefully identified it, and it should be the short mountain bun that he and the translator observed that day. Could it be such a coincidence?
Yuwen Jianxue led him deeper into the grass. The grass was so tall that it almost covered the head of the dancing horse.
The shape of the grass is indeed very ordinary. It can be seen everywhere on the grassland, and it can only grow up to the height of the knees.
"How can this kind of grass grow so tall?" Yuwen Jianxue said, "I was a little confused when I came here for the first time."
"There must be something strange about the place where the treasure is hidden. The grass may have mutated."
"Mutations?"
"Yes, it's similar to being irradiated and mutated."
"radiation?"
"Forget it, I won't be able to explain it for a while."
The two people walked about a hundred feet away, and the grass had completely submerged the dancing horse's head. At this time, Yuwen Jianxue suddenly said: "We're here."
Wu Ma took a step forward, followed her gaze, and saw a broken tombstone with some Turkic characters written on it, but Wu Ma couldn't understand it (he only learned how to say it). Yuwen Jianxue said that she
Excerpt the words on the stele and ask someone to translate it. The meaning is probably: This is a burial place destined to be forgotten.
"The grass grows so luxuriantly here, don't the Turks know how to come and take a look?" Wu Ma asked.
"I seem to have heard a saying that places with particularly lush vegetation on the grasslands, especially cemeteries, monuments, oases, etc., are places where Tengri left his footprints. They are forbidden areas by default for the Turks. Most people will not easily do so.
I don’t know if it’s because of this.”
Wu Ma looked at the tombstone in front of her again, "It's gray and short, and it's hidden in the tall grass. It's really inconspicuous. No wonder I didn't see it when I stood on the top of the short mountain during the funeral that day..."
"So, the Turks didn't see it either."
Now, the question arises, "How do we get in?"
Yuwen Jianxue walked behind the tombstone and pointed to a place, "Look."
Wu Ma followed and looked over, and saw a bear monster engraved behind the tombstone, holding a black tassel gun and stepping on the altar with an indifferent expression. Seeing this bear monster, Wu Ma said: That's right, Tian Deping must be here.
The one who got the inheritance. His real name is the black bear monster.
On the top of the furbolg's head, there is a bloody handprint embedded in the stele. The handprint is quite large, and Wu Ma feels that his hand is already big enough, but it is still too small to fit into the handprint.
Yuwen Jianxue took out the sword from his waist and raised it.
Dancing Horse asked her: "What do you want to do?"
"You'll find out later."
Yuwen Jianxue said and wiped the sword on the palm of his hand.
Wu Ma suddenly grabbed her wrist.
"What's wrong with you?" Yuwen Jianxue turned to look at the dancing horse.
Wu Ma ignored her, grabbed her wrist and held it in front of his eyes. He saw a long scar on her palm. It was obviously a new wound, and it had not yet had time to scab. The flesh and blood inside was clear and dazzling, which made people feel very uncomfortable.
Comfortable.
"How is this going."
"I was injured accidentally."
"Where? When and how was it hurt?"
"Why are you asking so carefully?"
"Just tell me if I ask you."
"I can't remember it for the moment. Oh, do you still want to do something serious?"
"Fuck...fuck, fuck, fuck."
Seeing that she was not telling the truth, Wu Ma snatched the sword from her hand.
"What are you doing..." Before she could react, Wu Ma wiped his sword on the palm of his hand, and a lot of blood flowed out.
Yuwen Jianxue stopped talking and looked at the dancing horse. Anyone could read an emotion similar to touching in her eyes.
This kind of emotion is actually rare in Yuwen Jianxue. Although she was moved in the past, she rarely showed it directly and embodied it in her expression.
This is probably related to her personality all the time - hot inside and cold outside, with a scorching fire hidden in her heart, but the outer shell is also extremely cold and hard. Someone has to crack the hard shell open from the outside, and the heat will come out from the inside.
coming.
And the dancing horse, holding a huge hammer, stood outside the hard shell, looked at the right time, and struck back and forth several times.
"What to do next," Wu Ma said, "Speak quickly, otherwise I will die of excessive blood loss."
"Don't be so pretentious," Yuwen Jianxue chuckled, "I had two miscarriages and I'm still alive."
Yuwen Jianxue said, grabbing Wu Ma's wrist and pressing it towards the bloody fingerprint on the furbolg. Her hand was actually cold, but strangely, Wu Ma felt a little hot, as if her wrist had been touched.
A circle of soldering iron got tangled up.
Before he had time to think about anything, Wu Ma pressed his hand on the bloody handprint, and immediately there was a tremor from the stone tablet. At this moment, he felt that he and the stone tablet seemed to be connected together, and a spiritual signal passed through his palm and the stone tablet.
The signal came from the junction of the stone monuments. The signal seemed to say in a hoarse voice:
"You're here, I've been waiting for a long time."
Wu Ma asked Yuwen Jianxue if she had ever heard anyone talking when she put her palm on the stone tablet. Yuwen Jianxue said how could it be? This is a stone. Can people appear from the stone? Wu Ma suddenly appeared
I came up with the idea that women have long hair but short knowledge. Neither Sun Wukong nor Jia Baoyu had heard of it.
"Are you ready?" Yuwen Jianxue said while looking at the black hole.
"Always be prepared." At this moment, Wu Ma actually had the same feeling as when he joined the Young Pioneers and swore an oath in the first grade of elementary school. He was so innocent and simple at that time.
With a long and slight tremor, the stone tablet slowly sank downwards, sinking lower and lower, and soon a dark hole appeared in front of the dancing horse.
"right here?"
"Um."
Yuwen Jianxue took the lead and walked into the cave.
Wu Ma hurriedly jumped in front of her. Under normal circumstances, faced with such unknown scenes and dangers, Wu Ma would tend to find a scapegoat to explore the way ahead.
But at this moment, he truly regarded Yuwen Jianxue as a friend, and a female friend at that. As we all know, as a bloody Chinese man, when encountering dangerous situations, he should stand in front of lesbians.
When Yuwen Jianxue saw Wu Ma rushing in front of him, he didn't do much to stop him. He only asked him: If you know what's going on ahead and whether there are any monsters, then you dare to go forward.
"If there is danger, you will remind me. If there is a monster, I will help you carry a claw."
Yuwen Jianxue smiled and agreed that the dancing horse should go ahead, but he must walk slower, pay full attention, and obey her instructions.
After the two people walked into the cave, Wu Ma turned around and looked outside, pointed at the entrance of the cave and said, "Is this cave door closed? What will happen if someone comes in again?"
Yuwen Jianxue said: "Anyway, I haven't found a way to close the door inside."
"You mean, it can be closed outside?"
"The blood on your hands hasn't dried yet. Press the stone tablet once more to turn it off."
Wu Ma said that this is easy to handle. Anyway, the stone tablet has fallen into the black hole. Let's find it, press the fingerprint, then get into the hole, let it go up by itself and close the door.
Yuwen Jianxue said, have you ever considered how to open the door when we come out?
Wu Ma said, I feel a little embarrassed when you say this, as if I didn't even think of such a simple thing. But the most fundamental problem is that the design of this doorway is too unreasonable. This is definitely not a god or some ancient power.
Could these great men be so stupid? Obviously not.
Yuwen Jianxue said: You are very strange today. Why are you so worried about whether the door should be closed or not?
Dancing Horse looked at the entrance of the cave behind him and muttered, I always feel that it is unsafe to leave the door open like this.
"Okay, don't worry about breaking the door. I've been here twice and no one followed me, and they won't do it this time either."
There is no choice but to continue going down.
Inside the cave was a path diagonally downwards, with steps on it, but the light was extremely dark and it was impossible to see the path clearly. Wu Ma asked Yuwen Jianxue if there were any candles, oil lamps or anything like that in the cave.
Yuwen Jianxue said that there are two possibilities for this tomb, one is built by the gods, and the other is built for the dead. Neither the gods nor the dead need candles and oil lamps.
Since Yuwen Jianxue said there was no oil lamp, Wu Ma also believed in the friendship between the two, so he simply stopped wasting his efforts to find the oil lamp and continued walking down in the dark.
The two of them were like two mice crawling into a tunnel, walking forward step by step along the steps. Wu Ma asked Yuwen Jianxue, when will this journey end?
Yuwen Jianxue said: "When the sun rises, it will be over." This was of course a joke.
But Wu Ma said: I still really want to know how far this tunnel is. It's not that I can't stand the darkness, narrowness, depression and gloominess in this tunnel. It's just that seeing that the curse is about to be lifted, I inevitably feel a little anxious.
So, uncharacteristically, he kept asking Yuwen Jianxue: Are you there yet? Is it almost there? Isn't it here yet?
Yuwen Jianxue said, have you ever walked through such a tunnel?
Wu Ma was stunned for a moment, thinking that this was very different from the lines she had designed before. What on earth was this little girl thinking?
But he said: Let's go.
"It's also so dark, with no light at all?"
Wu Ma thought for a moment and said, "There really is no such thing."
"Then, the two of us walking into such a dark tunnel together will be a unique experience in our lives."
Dancing Horse asked her what she meant.
"We are friends, and I am still your only friend. This level of friendship should have some unique experiences to be worthy of the name. Otherwise, it will always feel almost meaningless."
In the darkness, Wu Ma couldn't see Yuwen Jianxue's face clearly, but she always felt her beautiful big eyes looking at me in the darkness (like this??).
At this time, the dance horse's soles slipped and his body turned sideways, almost falling. He hurriedly reached for the wall and touched something made of metal.
He recovered from the state of being about to fall, and instinctively felt the shape of the metal object. It was a disc with edges on the top, a thin metal stick in the middle, and a round base below. If these were not enough
Let the dancing horse identify what it is, and then touch the middle of the disk again, and you can touch a wick soaked in oil.
Only then did Wu Ma realize that there were oil lamps on both sides of the tunnel. When Yuwen Jianxue came here two times before, she also lit the oil lamps. Otherwise, she would not really dare to walk down in such a dark and cramped place. In short,
She deliberately did not light the oil lamp.
Wu Ma suddenly understood that what Yuwen Jianxue said was probably not a temporary thought. She probably had this idea the first time she came to this tunnel.
This tunnel was not only dark, so after walking about thirty feet further, Yuwen Jianxue asked Wu Ma to stop.
At this time, she waved her arms forward, and a group of bats with green light suddenly jumped up from under her feet. Because they were prepared, the two people slashed with their swords, and the bats turned into countless green fragments of light.
Dots, floating in the tunnel.
With the light brought by these bat "carcasses", Wu Ma could see the tunnel more clearly - the walls covered with totems, rough blue bricks, neat steps, square indentations in the walls, and...
There is... an oil lamp placed on a recessed stone platform.
"Don't think these bats are easy to deal with now,"
"The first time I walked into the tunnel, I suffered a lot." She said, holding the dancing horse's hand, "Don't touch it." There was worry on her face, "Don't watch them get beaten.
Even if it is scattered, it is still very powerful."
Wu Ma nodded in agreement. But there were so many stars that they floated everywhere. In the end, one of them landed on his back.
Perhaps because he didn't hide on purpose, the green star dots passed through his clothes and penetrated into his back as if they were insubstantial.
The moment the green light touched the palm, it seemed as if an invisible thorn pierced in, followed by a hot electric current. The whole person shivered involuntarily, and the pain rushed to the peak in an instant. If this pain were used as a dancing horse,
The level of perception that I have experienced is almost equivalent to rushing into a group of bone-gnawing corpses and being bitten without taking any action.
The green light was quickly melted by the blood in the body, and the pain disappeared.
However, Wu Ma thought that when Yuwen Jianxue first came here, he did not have the precautions he did today. The thing that invaded the body would probably not be one or two light spots, but would probably be penetrated by a whole bat.
, if this is the case, then the pain should be dozens of times more than what Wu Ma felt just now. At this time, a picture flashed in his mind - Yuwen Jianxue fell on the cold steps of the tunnel, his whole body twitching and trembling, his face ferocious,
Passed out.
Waving his sword to disperse the scattered afterglow, the two of them continued to move forward. Wu Ma asked Yuwen Jianxue: "Does it hurt at that time?"
"Fortunately, I became numb afterwards."
There are still several dangers on the road ahead. The creatures that appear are not the creatures that should appear in the mortal world. They may be elves, ghosts, or monsters from other worlds. For Wu Ma and Yuwen Jianxue, their combat power is
It's not very powerful, but the sudden attack is hard to guard against. It's not surprising that he accidentally lost his life with one move. Respect and gratitude surged in Wu Ma's heart again.
About half an hour later, you could see a green-yellow light in the distance, shining like a neon light. Yuwen Jianxue said that the entrance to the ancient tomb should be there. Wu Ma was a little curious as to why it should be. But he didn't say anything in detail.
ask.
When I walked to the light, which was also the end of the tunnel, I saw a whole bronze wall covered with Tengtu and various gems.
Dancing Horse asked how to get in.
Yuwen Jianxue shook his head and said that he didn't know either.
"and you……"
"These days, I almost only sleep for an hour every day," Yuwen Jianxue suddenly raised his voice: "But what can I do? I have exhausted all methods, and now I can only get here... I can't just watch.
You wronged yourself by marrying Qingxia, and when you two got married, I was still in this shabby tunnel and couldn't do anything. I couldn't."
Wu Ma wanted to say that he didn't feel wronged, but this joke seemed inappropriate in such an atmosphere.
He had no choice but to turn his head and look at the wall to relieve the embarrassment of the situation. Soon, he found two circular depressions in the corner of the wall. So he squatted down and took a closer look. Yuwen Jianxue asked him what he was looking at.
Wu Ma said: "Don't you think these two depressions can easily cause obsessive-compulsive disorder?"
"Obsessive-compulsive disorder?"
Wu Ma took out two of Tian Deping's eyeballs from his sleeves, adjusted the angle, and inserted one into the depression, which was just right. Then he inserted the other one, which was also just right.
"Is this obsessive-compulsive disorder?"
Before Yuwen Jianxue finished speaking, a rumble sounded, the entire wall moved upward, and the tunnel began to shake.
Yuwen Jianxue looked at Wu Ma, her eyes full of disbelief, and she seemed to be saying: "You should believe this time that Tian Deping's ancient tomb is here."
At this time, the temperature in the tunnel dropped instantly.
A bone-chilling wind swept in, circled in the tunnel, and stopped at the side of the bronze wall.
The cold wind was spinning in place, and a graceful figure appeared in the center of the whirlwind.
