One person and four foxes held the rope and were carried to the sky. After a while, they landed on the cliff. One side of the cliff was as steep as a blade, but the other side was a gentle hillside with a gurgling stream flowing down the hillside.
This stream joins the streams flowing down from other peaks at the foot of the mountain and turns into a river, flowing from west to east into the valley.
Su Yun had never been here before and did not dare to move. He kept saying, "What did you see? What did you see?"
He has never been here.
For blind people, every blind person has a map in his mind. In this map, only the area where he lives is lit, and other places are dark and chaotic.
The terrain of Burying Dragon Tomb is steep and difficult to climb. This is the first time for Su Yun to come here. It is obviously an autumn afternoon and the sky is still early. However, in his mind, the surroundings are dark and full of unknowns.
He opened his eyes as hard as he could, but couldn't see anything.
He could only feel that there was a giant beast crawling in this unknown darkness, ferocious and terrifying.
He was frightened and asked several times, but no one around him answered him.
Su Yun asked several more times. After a while, Huahu was the first to come to his senses and murmured: "Xiaoyun, we saw a dragon... There is really a dragon here!"
Hearing his voice, Su Yun's heart calmed down.
Huahu described the geography of the Burial Dragon Tomb in detail, which helped Su Yun quickly construct the geography of the Burial Dragon Tomb in his mind. The other fox demons listened quietly and did not interrupt. If Huahu missed something, the fox would
I couldn't help but add a few words.
This is a habit developed over many years.
Ever since Huahu and Su Yun became classmates, Huahu often told Su Yun about the geography near Tianmen Town and then took him on a walk. Only then did Su Yun become familiar with the surrounding geography and not get lost.
Their friendship is the best.
One person and one fox listened to each other, and soon Su Yun was able to figure out the general geography of Burial Dragon Tomb, and the geographical map in his mind had a rough outline.
There is indeed a dragon in the Dragon Burial Tomb. Just now he sensed a giant beast crawling in the darkness, and his sense was indeed correct.
The Dragon Burial Mausoleum is worthy of its name. There is a dragon buried here. However, the Dragon Burial Mausoleum is also unworthy of its name, because there is no dragon mausoleum here.
The Burial Dragon Tomb is a long earth slope, two or three feet high and about a hundred feet long, covered with trees and thorns.
The dragon that fell from the sky climbed here from the Fallen Dragon Valley and died of serious injuries. The nearby residents probably just buried him hastily and did not build a mausoleum for him.
After an unknown amount of time of weathering, the dragon's bones were exposed from the soil slope, leaving most of them exposed.
Especially the dragon's skull, which is almost completely exposed to the outside, is very huge, and there are even trees growing in the skull's eye sockets that only two people can hug.
Although the trees in the Burying Dragon Tomb are dense and dense, the strange thing is that there are no birds or animals here, not even an insect!
Walking here, one feels a furry feeling in the bottom of one's heart, as if some extremely ferocious wild beast could come out at any time and disembowel oneself.
"There is a house next to the Dragon Burial Tomb."
Huahu continued to describe the scenery of the Tomb of the Buried Dragon, saying: "The houses are made of wood and stone, with two buildings and seven rooms, one with three rooms on the east side of the Tomb of Buried Dragon, and one with four rooms on the west side. The house must have been abandoned for a long time, and it is very
Broken, the wood has almost corroded. There are still some stone monuments on the mountain and in the surrounding mountains, and some stone monuments have fallen down."
"Thank you, Brother Hua."
Su Yun constructed the shapes of these seven houses in his mind, turned his head and said: "There are few people here, why are there houses?"
Huahu was also quite puzzled: "Not to mention it is inaccessible, and you can't even see the traces of animals. This dragon only has bones left, and its aura is very fierce. How could anyone choose to live here?"
Su Yun's heart moved slightly. This dead dragon could not be buried next to someone else's village, so the house could only have been built later.
And if it is built near the Tomb of Burial Dragons, there is only one possibility besides guarding the mausoleum.
"Someone wanted to steal the dragon corpse. But the dragon corpse was too big and they wouldn't be able to dig it out for a while, so they built a house here."
Su Yun thought: "The people nearby are not related to this dragon, so naturally they cannot guard his tomb. Therefore, they can only come here to steal the dragon corpse."
Hu Buping said quickly: "The dragon's bones are obviously here, why didn't they steal them?"
"Maybe it was because it was too big and they couldn't move it. Maybe it was because it died suddenly when they were digging up the dragon corpse."
Huahu thought: "After all, the Earth God said that a dragon's spirit flew out and rescued the whole village for food. After the dragon died, most of his spirit was still guarding his body."
Su Yun nodded, Huahu's guess was very reasonable.
They carefully walked down the hillside towards the Dragon Burial Tomb. Su Yun followed Huahu cautiously, trying to be as steady as possible, and said: "We don't want to dig out the dragon bones, and we can't take anything away. Let's only go to those houses.
Take a look inside. I heard from Mr. Shui Jing that the spirits of some strong people will turn into ghosts and gods, which are very vicious. But ghosts are afraid of the sun and will not appear during the day. Therefore, we must leave before the sun sets!"
The four demon foxes looked at each other. Qingqiuyue and Li Xiaofan hurriedly stopped Hu Buping's mouth. Hu Buping whined a few times and thought to himself: "The ghosts and gods in Tianmen Town are more fierce than dragons. They appear even during the day!"
One person and four foxes came to the foot of Burial Dragon Tomb and walked into the first house.
The house has four rooms, and there are scattered bones on the ground and accessories left behind after clothes rotted into ashes.
Su Yun squatted down and groped for a while, pondering: "Judging from the state of the corpses, they must have suddenly encountered an unexpected change and hurriedly fled from the house. However, the things that were chasing them were too fast, and they were still
They both died before they had time to escape from the house."
Huahu also discovered something: "Their backs, ribs and spine are broken, and the sections are cut obliquely. It should be cut from their backs with extremely sharp weapons. There are three such weapons in total, and at the same time
When cut, the wounds were almost parallel. The man was cut into four sections..."
Su Yun touched it and said: "There is no such weapon, it is a wound cut by a claw."
Huahu smiled and said: "Xiaoyun, a monster with extremely sharp claws, how could it appear in the house with these people? Although this house is large, it cannot accommodate such a behemoth! Unless..."
"Unless there is no entity."
Su Yundao: "The spirit has no entity. If it is a dragon claw, then it is possible."
Huahu frowned and said, "Let's go to the house and have a look!"
What puzzled them was that there were desks everywhere in the room, with messy pens, inks, papers and inkstones placed on the desks. It didn't look like the room of a tomb robber, but rather like the room of a great scholar who read poetry and books!
It is a pity that the pen tips here have rotted and the paper has long since turned into mud.
"They are not here to steal the dragon corpse!"
Su Yun suddenly said: "They are scholars who study things to achieve knowledge!"
Huahu was startled, and then he came to his senses: "Yes! When Mr. Shui Jing taught us Crocodile Dragon Yin, he took us to Crocodile Dragon Pond to observe the Crocodile Dragon. We observed the shape, habits, and actions of the Crocodile Dragon, and used the Hongluo transmutation technique to encourage us.
Use your own vitality and blood to simulate the crocodile dragon, and visualize the crocodile dragon with self-awareness. Mr. Shui Jing said that this is called studying things to gain knowledge. Through observation and experiment, you can study the essence of things and the principles of things to gain knowledge."
The other three little foxes also listened to Mr. Shui Jing's lecture and immediately recalled it.
Qingqiu Yue said quickly: "Mr. Shui Jing said that when the wealthy official schools are learning certain skills and magical powers, they often organize scholars to find the mythical beasts to be visualized and observe and study them. Could it be that some scholars came to observe this?
A dragon?"
Li Xiaofan looked at the corpses on the ground and frowned: "They came from Shuofang City? How could they die here?"
Su Yun found a jade plaque under the clothes of a corpse with rotting bones. There were words on the jade plaque. He searched carefully and said, "They come from an official school called Tiandaoyuan."
The fox demons came closer and saw that although there was mud on the jade plaque, it was white and flawless and not contaminated. It was obviously carved from valuable jade.
On the front of the jade plaque are the three characters "Tiandaoyuan", surrounded by cloud and thunder textures, and on the back is a half-opened scroll, which is very exquisite.
"There is an official in Shuofang City named Tiandaoyuan? The name is very grand."
Huahu said: "The jade tablets are of good quality. Maybe you can sell them for a few five bahts, and find a few more! We will definitely need money when we go to the city in the future!"
The fox demons searched around and found several more jade tablets, all of which were from Tiandaoyuan, but they were all damaged. Only the one found by Su Yun was complete.
They found nothing else, so they left and headed to the second house.
The house is on the other side of the dragon's tail. The two houses are one behind the other. They should be responsible for observing the different directions of the dragon.
A few hundred steps away from the dragon's tail was a sunken valley. Huahu looked over and saw huge scratches on the two walls of the valley!
Each scratch went deep into the stone wall and was several feet long. It was as if the stone had been cut by the sharpest knife, which was shocking.
Their guess was correct. The dragon that fell from the sky landed in the Valley of the Fallen Dragon. It struggled to crawl all the way with its last strength, climbed here, and then died.
"What caused such a divine dragon to be injured and die here?" Huahu murmured.
They arrived outside the second house and were about to walk in when they suddenly saw a man in black limping towards them. The four foxes screamed in unison, each taking a defensive posture.
"Senior Snake."
Su Yun's heart moved slightly, and he bowed and said: "Senior invited us to watch the ceremony last night. The juniors watched for a long time and gained a lot. Thank you, senior, for taking care of us."
Huahu was shocked and whispered: "Xiaoyun, you mean he ate for the whole village? Why did he change his appearance?"
