Chapter 109 Totem
"What kind of spider can swim and eat people?" I asked in disbelief.
"Spider essence!" Fat Brother said with a pale face.
"Damn fat man, you can still fool around, doesn't it mean it doesn't hurt enough?" Wu Xie interrupted the fat man at the right time, probably because he was worried about his injury and wanted him to have a good rest, afraid that it would be endless later.
"It hurts...it hurts so much, naive, come here and let me rely on you." The fat brother became weak in a second.
Wu Xie knew that Fat Brother was getting excited again, but seeing that he was injured, he had no choice but to sit next to him, let Fat Brother lean against him, and then said to me: "I have really heard of a kind of Spiders are amphibious. They are called diving bell spiders. They are the only spiders known to swim in the world. The air-sac-like thing floating on the water surface may be the air bubbles formed by its breathing. When it is about to enter the water, The air bubble will store a part of the oxygen to supply it with oxygen, and it will use the hair on its legs and abdomen to fix the air bubble in the water and float forward together.”
"There are such wonderful creatures!" I exclaimed.
"Yes, the creations of nature are always full of strange things. There are many things that we can't even imagine, but they really live on the earth." Wu Xie made a conclusion patiently.
"Come on, naive, when it comes to all kinds of strange things, the fat man only knows about forbidden women, sea monkeys, cockscomb snakes that can learn to speak, and..." the fat man was about to continue.
"Fatty...Stop talking, take a good rest." Wu Xie's expression suddenly became unnatural, and he interrupted him.
Fat Brother glanced at me, pretended to be "Ouch", turned over, and turned his head to the other side.
I put all the medicines back into the bag and said as I put them in, "Don't worry, I won't think too much about it. Anyway, you always like to play riddles with me, and I'm used to it. If you want to say it, say it. If you don't want to say it, I won't either." Forcing you, my curiosity is not so heavy."
"Zilin...you?" Wu Xie looked at me apologetically, then looked up at Zhang Qi.
"Actually, I already guessed that there must be some reason why you all try so hard not to remind me of the past. At least those memories may not be so pleasant!" I smiled at him and said openly.
"Sister, you are so right." The fat brother suddenly sat up like a dead body, and then fell on Wu Xie after speaking.
Wu Xie and I looked at each other and smiled, and our knots were untied.So far, I hope they can speak more naturally in the future, and there is no need to hide anything from me.
After packing up the medicine bag, I looked around for Zhang Qi's figure.But seeing him silently looking at the rock wall, he walked over and asked, "Did you find anything?"
Pointing to the slightly protruding place on the wall, he said, "There may be something engraved on it."
I touched it with my hand, and after a long period of humidity, thick moss had grown on the top of the rock wall. These creatures formed dry skin layer by layer, and there seemed to be raised lines underneath, so I took it out of my bag. Use tweezers and a soft brush to clean up the mossy skin that has flailed on it, and then patiently sweep it with a brush.It didn't take long to clear out the outline of a large relief.
At this moment, Wu Xie helped Fat Brother over and asked curiously, "What did you find?"
I shook my head at them, indicating that everything is still unknown.As he spoke, he took out a watering can from his bag, filled it with water, and wet the wall. Only then did the relief become clear and lifelike.
"Zi Lin is quite well equipped." Wu Xie teased me.
I smiled embarrassedly and said: "This is for the convenience of engraving, I am laughing at you."
"Hmph, laughing at what you are doing is more reliable than wearing a mirror or something." The fat brother glanced at me, as if I was the one who did such an unreliable thing.
I didn't care too much, I took out the screen of my phone and gestured, and replied: "I don't need a mirror. Although this phone is out of battery, it's fine to look at your face."
Fat Brother immediately showed disdain after hearing what I said, then turned his head to stare at the relief and asked, "What is this? It looks like a bird and a chicken."
"Fatty, what looks like a bird and a chicken?" Wu Xie asked him with a smile.
"Naively, I just said it casually. Is there really such a wonderful creature? It's the chicken on the mahjong that has grown into such a virtue." The fat brother let go of Wu Xie who was supporting him, and stepped forward to take a closer look.
I tried my best to hold back my laughter, and looked at Wu Xie helplessly. He was the same when I saw him, but he was calmer than me, and had no intention of deciphering.I had to patiently say: "Fat brother, you are right, this thing does look a bit like a chicken, maybe the craftsman made a mistake when carving it, because the thing he wanted to carve might be a phoenix."
"Phoenix?" Fat Brother immediately regained his spirits when he heard it. Based on his many years of fighting experience, he naturally understood that there would not be a totem of a divine bird like a phoenix in the tombs of ordinary people.
"The owner of the tomb is either rich or noble! It might be an emperor's mausoleum." The fat man swallowed excitedly, his eyes full of golden light and he dreamed infinitely.
"Uh... Fat Brother, excuse me. Since ancient times, the emperor has either been buried with the emperor, or built a concubine's tomb next to the emperor's tomb. The possibility you said is also possible, but it is relatively low." I said very tactfully, Afraid of hitting his dream of getting rich.
"Perhaps, this is the tomb of the princess who chose Zilin. Since she is a princess, using a phoenix is not considered an arrogance." Wu Xie looked at me and said.
I hurriedly muttered in fright: "Can we not mention being chosen by her? It's weird."
"You guys stop guessing! Ask me if I found the entrance to the tomb?" The fat brother no longer had the patience to listen to Wu Xie and I's speculation, and went to find the little brother on his own.
"It was still by my side just now!" I looked around, and really, Kung Fu disappeared after a while.
"I guess I'm going to explore the way. Now that the four of us have come in, why don't we redistribute the equipment." Wu Xie suggested.
The fat brother and I naturally had no objection, so we emptied out several bags of things and piled them up like a hill. When I looked at those things, my eyes almost went straight.I saw Fat Brother holding a close-range gun and deftly filling it with bullets.After you're done, pin it to your waist.
Wu Xie looked at me who was stunned and unable to strike, and handed over a sword and said, "Zi Lin, you should use this for self-defense!"
I pulled out the hilt of the sword, and my eyes were suddenly chilled, and I couldn't help asking dumbfounded: "Where did you get all these treasures?"
Fat Brother chuckled, hung an AK on his shoulder again, and said, "Nice, this young master of Changsha is not in vain, he needs financial resources, financial resources, contacts and connections, and with these two, what is there to worry about? "
Wu Xie was a little embarrassed, blushed, and said to me: "Don't listen to his nonsense, this sword is very sharp, be careful when using it. It was used by my brother before, but for him, after all, it is It's too light, without the backing hand of his black ancient gold sword."
"That is to say, I have to thank Hei Xiazi for picking it up from the Snake Marsh for him, otherwise the Dragon Sword will not be cheap for you! Sister." The fat man winked at me.
"It still has a name!" I whirled at the engraved dragon pattern on the hilt, and I always had a feeling of deja vu on this sword.
"Of course, how can it be called a sword without a name!" Fat Brother said with a serious face.
I looked at the back of the sword, and saw that the word "Dragon Yin" was really engraved on it, so I couldn't help but nodded in agreement.Then the fat man approached mysteriously and said: "This sword comes from the Western Zhou royal family, and the main material is bronze, so be careful when using it, don't break it, and you can sell it for a big price later!"
Before I could nod my head in agreement, the water in the pool suddenly "crashed".The water level suddenly dropped a bit, and there was a gap in the pool below the phoenix totem just now, and the water poured into it violently.
At this time, Zhang Qi poked his head out of the water and greeted us, saying, "We have found the entrance of the tomb, just follow the water and enter the gap."
We stopped talking, put our luggage on our backs, and followed suit one after another.When I went down to the water, I found that there were still many standing stone figurines at the bottom of the pool. Although the bodies were covered with thick moss, the general craftsmanship was very delicate and exquisite.Two of them had fallen down and were lying on the ground. I saw that there seemed to be organs protruding from the place where the stone figurines were standing.It seems that the two stone figurines were overthrown by Zhang Qi, and the door of the tomb was opened because of this.
After swimming inside, there is another large space, but the water level inside is lower, but the water temperature is much higher than outside.We only felt the duality of fire and ice, so we didn't dare to stay in the water any longer, so we hurriedly found a place and climbed up.
"Grandma, the water is too hot! The fat man was almost boiled." The fat man complained.
"Brother Fat, don't be too pessimistic, maybe there will be hotter springs later, and then you can have hot pot." I don't know if this kind of food encouragement is effective, anyway, for me, it is not very effective of.
"That's true." Fat Brother actually agreed, as expected, only foodies understand foodies.
Wu Xie looked at us both speechlessly, then shook his head.At this time, Zhang Qi, who had already climbed up the stairs one step ahead of us, suddenly let out a "huh".
"Did you find anything?" The three of us also quickly climbed up, and found that the end of the stairs was actually going straight down, extending into an endless darkness.
