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 from the hillside. Up and down.
This stream joins the streams flowing down from other peaks at the foot of the mountain and becomes a river, flowing from west to east towards 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 had never been here before.
For blind people, every blind person has a map in his mind. 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 clearly an autumn afternoon and the sky is still early. However, in his mind, there is darkness all around. , full of unknowns.
He opened his eyes desperately, but could not 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 back 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 Longling Tomb in detail, which helped Su Yun quickly construct the geography of Longling Tomb in his mind. The other fox demons listened quietly and did not interrupt. If Huahu missed something, Hu Buping couldn't help but add a few words.
This is a habit developed over many years.
Since Huahu and Su Yun became classmates, Huahu often told Su Yun about the geography near Tianmen Town and then took him around. Su Yun then became familiar with the surrounding geography and would not be confused. get lost.
They have the best friendship.
One person and one fox listened, and soon Su Yun figured 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 that there was a giant beast crawling in the darkness, and his sense was indeed correct.
This Dragon Burial Tomb is worthy of its name. There is a dragon buried here. However, the Dragon Burial Tomb 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, and most of them were exposed.
Especially the dragon's skull, which is almost completely exposed and very huge. There are even trees growing in the eye sockets of the skull that can only be hugged by two people.
Although the trees in Burying Dragon Tomb are dense and dense, the strange thing is that there are no birds or animals here, not even a single insect!
Walking here gives people a furry feeling in their hearts, as if some extremely ferocious beast from ancient times will come out and disembowel themselves at any time.
"There is a house next to the Tomb of Buried Dragon."
Huahu continued to describe the scenery of Buried Dragon Tomb, saying: "The houses are made of wood and stone, two with seven rooms, and one with three rooms. On the east side of the Tomb of Burial Dragons, there are four houses on the west side. They must have been abandoned for a long time. They are very dilapidated and the wood is almost corroded. There are still some stone monuments on the mountain and some of them have fallen down. "
"Thank you, Brother Hua."
Su Yun constructed the shapes of these seven houses in his mind and said sideways: "There are so few people here, why are there houses?
Huahu was also quite puzzled: "Not to mention it is inaccessible, even the traces of animals can't be seen. This dragon has only bones left and is very fierce. How could anyone choose to live here?" ?”
Su Yun was slightly moved. This dead dragon couldn’t be buried next to someone else’s village, so the house could only have been built later.
As for being built near the Dragon Burial Tomb, there is only one possibility other than guarding the tomb.
"Someone wanted to steal the dragon corpse. But the dragon corpse was too big and they would not be able to dig it out for a while, so they built a house here."
Su Yun He thought: "The people nearby are not related to this dragon, so naturally they cannot guard his tomb. Therefore, they can only come to steal the dragon corpse."
Hu Buping spoke quickly. Said: "The dragon's bones are obviously here, why didn't they steal them?"
"Maybe it's because it's too big for them to move. It may also be because they were digging up the dragon's bones. , died suddenly."
Huahu thought: "After all, the spirit of the dragon flew out and saved the whole village for dinner. After the dragon died, his spirit was probably still there to protect him. Holding his body."
Su Yun nodded, Huahu's guess made sense.
They carefully walked down the hillside towards the Dragon Burial Tomb. Su Yun cautiously followed Huahu, trying to be as steady as possible, and said: "We should not try to dig out the dragon bones, nor can we take anything away. Let's just go and take a look at those few houses. I heard from Mr. Shui Jing that the spirits of some strong people can turn into ghosts and gods, which are very vicious. However, ghosts are afraid of the sun and will not appear during the day. Therefore, we will go there before the sun sets. We must leave!"
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 of Tianmen Town are Bilong. It’s so fierce that it even appears during the day!”
One person and four foxes came to the Burial Dragon Tomb and walked into the first house.
This house has four rooms, and there are scattered bones on the ground and accessories left after the clothes have rotted into ashes.
Su Yun squatted down and groped for a while, pondering: "From the state of lying corpseFrom the looks of it, they must have encountered an unexpected incident suddenly and fled out of the house in a hurry. However, what was chasing them was too fast, and they each died before they could escape from the house. "
Huahu also discovered something: "Their backs, ribs and spine are broken, and the sections are cut obliquely. They should have been cut from their backs with extremely sharp weapons. There were three such weapons, cut at the same time, and the wounds were almost parallel. This man was cut into four pieces..."
Su Yun touched it and said: "There is no such weapon, it is a wound made by a claw.
Huahu smiled and said: "Xiaoyun, a monster with extremely sharp claws, how could he appear in the house with these people?" Although this house is large, it cannot accommodate such a huge thing! Unless..."
"Unless there is no entity. ”
Su Yun said: “Spirit has no entity. If it were a dragon claw, that would be possible. "
Huahu frowned and said: "Let's go to the house and have a look! ”
What made them feel puzzled 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 a tomb robber’s room, but rather like a room full of poetry and books. The great scholar’s room!
What is regrettable is that the pens here have rotted and the paper has long 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 the crocodile dragon chant, he took us to the crocodile dragon pool to observe the crocodile dragon, observe the crocodile dragon's shape, habits, and actions. He used the Hongluo transmutation method to stimulate his own vitality and blood to simulate the crocodile dragon, and use self-awareness to Visualize Crocodile Dragon. Mr. Shui Jing said that this is called studying things to achieve knowledge. Through observation and experiments, we study the essence and principles of things to gain knowledge. "
The other three little foxes also listened to Mr. Shui Jing's lectures and immediately recalled them.
Qingqiu Yue quickly said: "Mr. Shui Jing said that government schools with financial resources often When learning certain skills and magical powers, they would organize scholars to find the mythical beasts to be visualized, observe, study and learn from them. Could it be that some scholars came to observe this dragon? "
Li Xiaofan looked at the corpses on the ground and frowned: "Are they from Shuofang City? How could he die here? "
Su Yun found a jade plaque under the clothes of a rotting corpse. There were words on the jade plaque. He groped for it carefully and said, "They come from an official school called Tiandaoyuan. "
The fox monsters came forward 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 tablet is the word "Tiandaoyuan", surrounded by cloud and thunder textures, and on the back is a half-opened scroll, which is very exquisite.
"Shuofang City has an official name called Tiandaoyuan. ? The name is very grand. "
Huahu said: "The texture of the jade tablet is good., maybe you can sell a few for five baht, and look for 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. They were all jade tablets from Tiandaoyuan, but they were all damaged. Only the one found by Su Yun was complete.
They found nothing else, so they left here and headed to the second house.
The house was on the other side of the dragon's tail. The two houses should be one behind the other. He was 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 shapes on the two walls of the valley.
Every 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.
They guessed it. That's right, the dragon that fell from the sky landed in the Fallen Dragon Valley, struggled to crawl all the way with its last strength, and then died.
"What made such a dragon die here after being injured. ? "Hua Hu murmured.
They came outside the second house and were about to walk in. Suddenly they saw a man in black limping towards them. The four foxes shouted in surprise. Yelled, everyone made defensive postures
"Senior Snake.
Su Yun's heart moved slightly, and he bowed and said: "The seniors 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 me. "
Huahu was shocked and whispered: "Xiaoyun, you mean he ate for the whole village? Why has he changed his appearance? ”
