Chapter 17 The Thrilling Earth Dragon
Yan Yuqing was dragged desperately by Wu Qingzhi and ran towards the end of the corridor, without caring about Yin Feng behind him shouting, "Girl, the earth dragon turns over, be careful."
Yan Yuqing was pulled away and panted. When there was no way to run, the two stopped.
She pointed to the gray and black wall in front of her and asked Wu Qingzhi unhurriedly: "Why are you running in? This is a dead end."
Wu Qingzhi raised his chin in the direction where the two of them ran, and said, "At least we are still alive now. The road to the exit is too long. If you look back, we will probably be killed before we can run."
Yan Yuqing followed Wu Qingzhi's gaze and looked at the corridor when he was back and forth. The piles of stones, sand and soil were almost half a person tall. If he really ran out, he would probably be buried alive if he was not smashed to death.
I don’t know how Yan Xuan and Yin Feng are now.
Yan Yuqing was about to shout their names when Wu Qingzhi covered her mouth and said, "Small sound, do you want to cause the sand to slide down again?"
Yan Yuqing looked at Wu Qingzhi, blinked her eyes, and signaled that she knew.
After breathing a mouthful of dusty air, Yan Yuqing asked quietly, "How do you know so much? So are we waiting for someone to come to save us or to save ourselves?"
Wu Qingzhi raised his eyebrows and said proudly: "I have been growing up in the mine since I was a child, so I know more about these things than you. This mountain range is our Wu family's Feng Shui vein." As he said, he pointed to the gray-black earth wall and said, "Do you know why you don't dig after you dig this?"
Yan Yuqing listened seriously, shook her head and asked curiously, "Why?"
Wu Qingzhi was very satisfied with her cooperation and replied: "Because further inside, there is the tomb of our Wu clan in Xiangyang. The one lying inside is the patriarch of our Wu clan in all dynasties."
Yan Yuqing couldn't help but cover her mouth and exclaimed, "It's all your ancestors!"
Wu Qingzhi nodded with a smile.
"When you come here, will they bless you?" Yan Yuqing asked in disbelief.
After hearing this, Wu Qingzhi smiled at her with an incredible look and asked, "Do you still believe in these?"
Yan Yuqing was shocked when she asked. In fact, she didn't believe it, just thought Wu Qingzhi believed it. She stood there for a moment, not knowing how to go back.
Wu Qingzhi didn't mind and continued, "When my father took me in when I was a child, the tomb was made of stone, with a large space inside and a water source. I vaguely remember that there was a large door that was connected to the Wu clan ancestral hall. If we could find that door, we could go out. It was better than staying here. Before someone could save me, I might be thirsty."
Yan Yuqing also nodded in agreement, feeling that there was nothing else to do except this.
The two of them pulled out the hairpin from their heads and began to dig the soil hard.
The cave was pitch black, and I didn't know what tonight. Just when Yan Yuqing thought she would die of exhaustion in the cave, a dark light came in. What hit her face was a bit of misty water vapor.
"It's almost done." Wu Qingzhi said excitedly, and at the same time he stepped up his movements.
A quaint stone chamber slowly emerged.
Four square stone pillars dividing the huge stone chamber into nine parts, with a circular pool in the middle, emitting white mist.
"Is this what you are talking about?" Yan Yuqing found that the closer to the pool, the higher the temperature around him. When he walked to the edge of the pool, he was surrounded by the white water mist emitted from the pool.
The pool was not deep, and it was visible at a glance. There was a small round hole in the middle, which was bubbling.
"You made the hot spring eye?" All the things that happened today revealed the bizarreness, which brought great shock to Yan Yuqing.
"Do you still understand the eyes of the formation?" This was beyond Wu Qingzhi's expectations. It is really rare in the world that a girl can still be so broad-minded.
Yan Yuqing smiled and replied, "Just heard it."
Since she came into contact with jewelry, she has been very grateful to her "book madman" father. He did not hold her at home like other people's father. Instead, she had enough space to read books all over the room.
There were a wide variety of books, but no one ever asked what she should read or what she should not read. Later she realized that these were all tacitly approved by her father.
Yan Yuqing never reads in a straightforward way, and she knows about notes, travel notes, strange stories, etc.
This made her think and think very differently from ordinary girls.
"Do you still remember where the door is?" The tomb was wet and dark, and there was an unknown fear everywhere. Yan Yuqing really wanted to go out earlier.
"I was still young at the time of my visit, so I have forgotten where I was. I only remember that it was a secret door, which looked exactly the same as the wall, and it should have been opened with a mechanism." Wu Qingzhi said, and had already started looking for it.
In order to get out as soon as possible, Yan Yuqing and Wu Qingzhi took action separately.
She walked slowly along the stone wall, and a golden ebony coffin was lying quietly in front of her.
Although he was mentally prepared, he suddenly saw that Yan Yuqing was still shocked.
This is made of thousands of years of gloomy wood, which can be worth tens of thousands of gold. The bronze swords and porcelain vessels placed beside it show the prominent identity of the tomb owner during his lifetime.
Just when Yan Yuqing wanted to bypass it, she saw a red-burned agate Tai Chi Bagua mirror inlaid with some small characters engraved beside the mirror.
Curiosity prompted Yan Yuqing to walk over.
This is a book about how to smelter weapons such as steel knives, squid armors, etc.
Yan Yuqing read it carefully, and the more she read it, the more she became more and more shocked.
This book must have been lost for a long time. The Wu clan did not know why this book was not allowed to appear.
Maybe they don’t know the meaning of this book, but Yan Yuqing knows that if anyone can get this book, he will smelter weapons according to the methods in the book, and it is very likely that he will be able to conquer everything on the battlefield.
She read it and wrote it all down.
But when I read this book at the end, I seemed to have not finished writing it.
Yan Yuqing looked at the knife and squid armor in front of her, and read the words on the coffin lid, guessing that this amazing tomb owner should have been a famous prince during his lifetime.
On the dark stone wall ahead, there is a very long mural.
Yan Yuqing walked closer and looked carefully. It seemed that the painting on the stone wall was like a war. Both sides held a conflict card, and some people around had fallen.
She continued to look back and saw a sedan chair not far from the battlefield.
A young prince riding a war horse with a big sword was lifting up the curtain.
Is this a robbery?
Yan Yuqing continued to look back in confusion.
It's a wedding house.
The prince brought a large heart-shaped necklace to the bride.
The style of painting suddenly changed.
What I followed was that someone stabbed a pregnant woman, and the woman fell into the prince's arms.
The woman was wearing a heart-shaped necklace, she should be the bride she had before.
Then, there were many sacrifices wearing ghost masks, as if they were holding some rituals on the altar.
After a closer look, there was the heart-shaped gem given to the bride by the groom on the wedding night in the middle of the altar.
Yan Yuqing wanted to know what was said later. When she was about to continue reading, she found that the mural was over.
She looked back and found that she was far away from the place just now, and could no longer see the black gold wooden coffin that had been before.
When I turned around, there was a mouthful of a dark red wooden coffin around me at some point.
Yan Yuqing was so scared that she almost came up. She took a few steps to calm down.
The coffin was just not far from the end of the mural, and the golden nanmu coffin just now happened not far from the beginning of the mural. It should not be a coincidence, but it might be a kind of Feng Shui.
Yan Yuqing has not studied this in depth, but only relying on inference, this idea greatly reduces Yan Yuqing's fear.
Maybe I was so fascinated by the mural just now that I didn’t notice that there was a coffin beside me.
Yan Yuqing walked towards the crimson coffin again. The horse-haired patterns and golden stars were covered with the wood, which made her guess that the coffin might be made of Little Leaf Rosewood.
Few people use small-leaf red sandalwood as coffins. Unless they like it during their lifetime and are extremely particular, they may choose small-leaf red sandalwood as material.
Because it is not only expensive but also difficult to find, it is also afraid of water and should not be too dry.
Only natural conditions like this tomb can it be preserved well.
Yan Yuqing looked at the wooden coffin carefully, as if she was looking at a work of art.
When she stood directly in front of the coffin, she found something on the side of the coffin lid.
It is a gem that looks the same as the heart-shaped gem on the mural. It seems that something is moving slowly inside.
Yan Yuqing slowly approached and found that the things inside were as bright red as blood, as if they were alive, flowing quietly among the purple heart-shaped gemstones.
Yan Yuqing had never seen this purple gem before. With her obsession with gems, even if it was inlaid on the coffin, she couldn't help but reach out to touch it.
