Chapter 023 Dragon Head Crutches
Look at the top of the tablet, there are two shaved yellow and curly images hanging on the stone wall. The strokes are vigorous and powerful, and they appear on the paper. In the middle, the picture is a man sitting cross-legged with his face as if a knife was cut, with broad cheeks and thick eyebrows, and his eyes closed to rest. What is strange is that his hands and feet that are exposed can no longer be considered a pair of hands and feet. They can only be said to be claws, with scales all over, and five fingers on a pair of claws are slender, and their nails are sharp, just like the dragon claws of a five-clawed golden dragon.
The image on the left is a beautiful and elegant woman with a high bun and a flying end of her hair. Her face is full of charm, her eyes are green and charming, her hands are crystal clear and pink and slender. Although it is a painting, any man will be moved when he sees it, no less than Han Bing in Liu Xing's mind.
This woman is not a normal person either. Below her waist is a thick, strong, winding snake tail, and her whole body seems to be floating among the clouds.
Liu Xing thought to himself, the woman in this painting could not be Nuwa! Who is the portrait of that man? Is it the legendary Pangu? But it shouldn't be like this, maybe it's a member of the witch clan! He said unconsciously: "Look at the placement, there should be three paintings here, huh, the other painting must be a normal and beautiful beauty, but he was stolen by some little thieves?"
"Hmph! I see you are like a little thief, and you are also a ** flower-picking thief!" Lin Ruonan saw him staring at the image of the woman intently and kept looking at it. He said indignantly, and pointed, "Here, isn't that painting in the corner of the table? You haven't picked it up and stole it!"
Lin Ruonan's sarcasm looks very cute in Liu Xing's eyes. Let's regard you as my sister for the time being! He smiled bitterly and leaned over and picked up the painting, took off the dust on it, and looked out, but he was not a stunning beauty, but a dragon-head crutch. The dragon-head crutch tilted and occupied the entire picture. The gray stick was carved with runes, and the gray stick head was a hideous and terrifying dragon head carved out, with a dragon's mouth wide open, and a big black bead between his teeth, which was the only variegated color of this dragon-head crutch.
Lin Ruonan saw him dazed and sneered: "Why, I'm disappointed when I saw that there was no beauty you wanted in this painting!"
Liu Xing said: "Don't you find it strange? The other two are portraits of characters, why is this one the only one on it a crutch?"
Shen Mengxi said curiously: "Why is that?"
Liu Xing showed off: "This painting can be hung with those two paintings, which is naturally extraordinary. I dare say that the dragon-head crutch in this painting is not only priceless, but also has extraordinary strategic significance!"
Lin Ruonan did not turn him over and said: "Strategic significance! Tell me, I think it's just a broken crutch. Is it meaningful to discuss it? It's more important to find a way out as soon as possible, otherwise we will all starve to death here!"
Liu Xing leisurely threw the painting on the table: "I want to stay here for a while. Maybe the Minister Lu is waiting for us outside, so it's better to go out later!"
Shen Mengxi said, "When the man saw us fall, he must have left long ago! Even if he didn't leave, we should find the exit first. It would not be too late to make a decision when the time comes!"
When Liu Xing thought about it, he looked around and saw three stone doors in the cave. Apart from the moss stone door they came in, one was in the corner and the other was facing the incense table. Needless to say, this was the exit facing the stone door hanging on the statue!
The three of them fumbled and pushed the stone gate, but they neither found an effective door opening mechanism nor pushed the stone gate. Lin Ruonan said, "You get out of here first, I'll try it with the Flame Palm!"
At that moment, he stole the horse steps and pushed the side of the stone door flat. With a bang, the stone door did not move at all. Lin Ruonan himself was shocked and took three or four steps backwards, and he hung his head in a daze. Chen Mengxi asked repeatedly: "Sister Lin, are you okay? Sister Lin..."
Liu Xing was also surprised. Just when Lin Ruonan hit the stone gate with his palm, he actually saw a layer of energy fluctuation on the stone gate. The energy ripples seemed to be a originally calm lake suddenly poured into the surface of a small stone. The ripples spread slightly to the surroundings until the stone wall around the stone gate. The ripples flashed and returned to calmness, and seemed to disappear invisible. Liu Xing looked carefully again and saw that the stone gate was wrapped in a thin energy that might not be wrapped, but the entire stone gate was in strange energy. He reached out to touch it, but could only touch the stone and could not feel the energy.
Lin Ruonan said tragically: "I'm fine, but I'm afraid we can't get through this stone gate. Someone has tampered with it. It should be a barrier, and it feels very similar to the barrier commonly used by my uncle."
Chen Mengxi said in surprise: "Sister Lin, are you talking about Uncle Li?"
Lin Ruonan said affirmatively: "Yes, and it's much stronger than those, maybe it's close to the legendary barrier of life."
Chen Mengxi was shocked and said nothing. Liu Xingqi said, "Are you talking about the barrier sealed? So we are sealed?"
Lin Ruonan said disdainfully: "The barrier and seal cannot be confused. The seal is internal, the barrier is external, the seal is time, and the barrier is space, hey, but we are no different from being sealed, it is a dead end!"
Liu Xing didn't hear clearly, and was about to ask again, but Chen Mengxi said, "Isn't there still a door? Maybe that's the exit. Let's go over and take a look!"
The three of them walked over, Lin Ruonan asked the two to move aside and said to slap them again to see if there was any seal. Liu Xing said there was no such thing as this gate. Lin Ruonan slapped in disbelief, and became suspicious and said, "It's true! Yes, how do you know if you don't?"
Liu Xing smiled awkwardly: "Hehe, guess."
Chen Mengxi said on the side: "Liu Xing, you press this stone. This may be the mechanism for opening the door. I can't press it." Liu Xing walked over and pressed hard. The stone collapsed in, and a creaking sound was heard. The stone door opened. On the other side was a downward passage. The three of them were overjoyed and were about to enter, when a gloomy and unpleasant breath came to their faces.
After waiting for about a stick of incense, the smell became clearer. The three of them rushed in, as if the end of the passage was the light in the darkness.
There were still skeletons in the passage. The three of them ignored it and walked about three hundred meters. When they reached the end of the passage, they saw a half-artificial half-natural cave with a radius of ten meters in radius appeared in front of them. The top of the cave is very high, more than twenty meters away from the ground. Although it is old, it is well ventilated and the air is fresh. The surrounding stone walls are shining brightly. It is a circle of gemstone areas. There is a pavilion next to the stone wall on the ground, which is light and flowing. It is probably connected to the star and other pool. Then there are simple stone beds, stone tables, stone benches, and old clothes are placed in the caves of the stone walls.
The three of them opened their mouths, a little disappointed, and stood at the entrance of the cave in shock. Seeing so many dead bones, what shocked them again was naturally not the decoration in the cave.
In the gloomy, there was a man sitting beside the stone bed, with a dark appearance, and his hair's clothes were covered with dust. He should be a dead person. He stepped on the ground, hunched his waist, leaned forward with his upper body, supported his left hand with his knees, stretched his right hand with him, and held a quaint crutch tightly. It was the dragon-head crutch in the third image, both in style and color. The crutch was inserted into the stone on the ground for more than half an inch, and the stone surface cracked into a mesh of three feet square, which was obviously caused by the Dali Station.
A sword stabbed into his chest and abdomen from top to bottom, without the hilt of the sword. A dead bone lying beside the bed, and a dead bone lying in front of the dragon-headed crutch. To the outside, it was surrounded by a stone bed in a fan shape, with a circle of dead bones falling to the ground, with about twenty of them, and all kinds of weapons.
Chen Mengxi reacted first, raised his hand and lit the candlelight beside him. The situation inside became clearer, and he whispered: "He should be dead, right?"
Liu Xing also reflected on it and laughed to hide the surprise in his eyes: "Nonsense, I'm still alive when I was stabbed like this by a sword. The pig was laughing. Didn't you see the dust on his body? It probably took less than twenty years, and ten years!"
After Liu Xing said that, the atmosphere became active, and Chen Mengxi also laughed and said, "I just wonder why his body didn't rot. You laugh at me!"
Liu Xing glanced at it again, and it was also strange that although the man on the stone bed had a dark face, he was definitely not like a person who had been dead for more than ten years. He seemed to have just died. He didn't look carefully at it and said angrily: "Miss Mengxi, you don't understand this. Do you know the mummy? This is a mummy!"
Suddenly, Lin Ruonan drove away the skeletons on the ground one by one, and walked straight towards the stone bed. He thought she had been hit by something evil, and exclaimed: "Ruonan, what's wrong with you, Ruonan..."
Lin Ruonan turned around angrily: "What are you calling? I'm not dead!" He said gently to Chen Mengxi again, "Sister Chen, come here quickly, let's not pay attention to him, come and see, does this sword look like the dragon-slaying sword collected by my uncle?" He walked to the left of the person on the stone bed, leaned over and blew on the hilt of the sword, and dust fell, three ancient seal characters appeared, and reached out to pull it out in surprise, saying, "It's the Phoenix-controlled sword! It must be a pair with the uncle's dragon-slaying sword, this time..." She was fixed on the spot as soon as she touched the hilt of the sword, with an excited expression on her face still on her face!
Chen Mengxi walked forward and reached out to help Lin Ruonan for easier viewing. He excitedly said, "Really, Sister Lin? Then..." and he stopped immediately.
What Liu Xing was most interested in was the dragon-head crutch. After walking over and looking at it, he saw that the runes on the gray stick were meticulous and orderly, and the carvings, either round, square or diamond-shaped, were closely connected together, spreading in circles, forming a large net to wrap the entire body of the stick. Looking closely, the carvings all merged into curly carvings hidden in the dragon head, which seemed to be gathering and guiding.
The dragon head is vivid, like a mad dragon that is powerful and powerful. The most attractive thing is the black round bead the size of an egg held. This black bead cannot be described in just the word "strange", because under Liu Xing's eyes, the entire bead gradually turned into a void, and it turned out to be a black hole that does not show any light and swallows everything. It cannot see clearly what it is. Without the eyes of the sky, it is just an ordinary black bead, which is strange!
Tsk! Tsk! When Liu Xing saw that the two sharp teeth in Longtou's mouth that were tightly clasped with black beads had broken, he couldn't help but sigh. Judging from the cut marks, it must have been cut off by sharp weapons during the fight. He secretly hated the robber skeletons on the ground who came to compete for it.
Liu Xing's saliva flowed all over the floor, haha, the treasure I have always dreamed of, I'm here!
