148、【19】
The charlatan was stiff for a while and was overjoyed: "Beast bone! This piece is an animal bone! Seven animal bones!"
He was afraid that Meng Qianzi would touch it wrong, so he took it two steps at a time, took it from her hand, rubbed it for a while, and then nodded: "That's right, it's this word, it's written."
Suddenly I caught a glimpse of the previous piece and quickly picked it up. Some "ancient viruses" and "parasitics" had already been thrown out of the sky.
This piece was spread flat and had tight bones and no depressions when touched. The talisman was stunned for a moment, and then turned back to the dragon's body like a whirlwind: "Hurry up, small exercise, if I guess correctly, the beast bone should be mixed in the dragon bone."
Jiang Lian still had an impression of this: "What is it related to the Seven Evil Swords... Will your eyes be blinded and your hands will recognize it?"
The charlatan nodded like pounding garlic: "Yes, yes, this animal bone is very special, and the words engraved are not visible. Fortunately, Miss Meng caught it. My God, if you just use a saber and a scabbard to get it, who would know that there are still words on it!"
At the end of the day, he was full of joy and red light: I had only guessed about the seven beast bones before. He didn't dare to yell at the outside world without any real evidence - but now it's different, he found it!
It's not in vain, this trip is not in vain! I suffered a little and fell into the ice blood vessels and felt so sweet.
He worked harder and harder to rub the dragon's body, and could see that his mood was rippling and he was humming a small song.
Jiang Lian heard him hum, "Pig, sheep, where to send it to the people's cooking pot..."
What word did Jiang Lian frowned, but fortunately, he gave pigs and sheep, not chickens and ducks, otherwise it might cause a certain psychological shadow to Jiang Queqiao.
***
The dragon body is solid, with nearly twenty bones rising out, and the whole body is broken into a messy look, and it is still supported and not falling.
The three of them gathered together to count points and identify them. The charlatan expected it to be correct: a total of 19 bones, and seven of them were engraved with characters, all of which were pictographic oracle bone inscriptions, which corresponded to seven ancient ways of death, such as "knife" represents chopping and killing, and "hanging" refers to hanging.
Although he is still in a difficult situation and his future is uncertain, the charlatan is smiling from ear to ear, as if he is celebrating the New Year.
Jiang Lian was a little curious: "With these, your friends will be fine?"
The charlatan talked like water that opened the gate, and kept talking: "I dare not say it, but it is certain to stop loss - the seven evil spirits were led to their bodies, using their bodies as cages, temporarily trapping evil spirits. But these seven beast bones are the original source of evil spirits. As long as they lead the evil spirits back to the beast bones, they will be freed..."
Meng Qianzi frowned: "It is not a long-term solution to lead back to the animal bones, right? Isn't it true that things are put into the box to be truly safe?"
That's right, the charlatan nodded: "No matter whether it is the mountain gallbladder, the beast's bone, or Jiuling, it's only when it enters the box that the beast pulls its teeth. It's this box, and I don't have a clue yet..."
A word reminded Jiang Lian, and he quickly told the suspected box he had seen through the water when he escaped.
When he was just "suspected", it was decided to get into the charlatan's mouth: "It must be that after Yan Luo brought the box in, he abandoned it here, and unexpectedly fell into the water..."
Before he finished speaking, Meng Qianzi suddenly "shushed" and said, "Listen."
What to listen to?
The charlatan was confused and his ears were about to stand up. He could only hear the half-hung bronze chain clattering.
He suddenly became nervous: "Someone is shaking the chain? Is it something to...climb up?"
Meng Qianzi shook her head and pushed the body of the snow chicken with her hand. The snow chicken understood, and its wings fluttered up, flying towards the low altitude not far away.
The previous period was fine, but when it flew to the entrance of the cave, it suddenly felt like it was storm of air, rolling in several times in the air. If it hadn't been rolling aside, the charlatan would have thought it was showing off his skills in the air.
He reacted a little: "Is there... wind?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he was sure: because there was a section of the ice dragon's body, which was placed just above the hole, and there were a lot of grinding and sticking ice chips on the dragon's body. They were still standing just now, and now they were constantly bulging towards the top.
There is really strangeness everywhere in Kunlun Mountain. There is actually wind in the belly of the mountain, and the wind is still coming from below...
Jiang Lian suddenly said, "The door opens, and the wind rushes to the stars."
The charlatan suddenly remembered.
The video of Water Ghost once mentioned that when this drifting cave drifts outside, the door will be "opened" in the middle of the night, which means that a small hole will appear on the originally dense ground.
The meaning of "wind and star dou" is that there will be a bottom-up wind rushing out from the cave, as if it can rush to the stars in the sky. In the late Ming Dynasty, a water ghost named Jiang Shehu was obsessed with searching for the drifting cave, and he really found it: it was midnight at night, and he rode his horse and got off his horse and got off his horse. As a result, he was hitting the "ground door". His horse was rushed into the air by the strong wind, and fell down again, and he fell to death on the spot.
Calculate the time, it is almost midnight now. As for "opening the door to the ground", since the drifting cave is hidden at the bottom of the mountain, it is naturally impossible to "open the door" on the ground. Of course, the wind cannot rush to the "stars", and can only loosen the muscles and bones in the intestines of the mountain...
The charlatan was about to say something, but Meng Qianzi raised his hand and pressed it, but still signaled him to silence.
Jiang Lian knew that Meng Qianzi's "mountain wind" was most sensitive when there was wind, and the sound was much higher than that of ordinary people. He immediately pulled the corner of the charlatan's clothes and signaled him to watch it, so he didn't cause trouble.
Sure enough, after a while, Meng Qianzi said, "There is something underneath, it is very big... huge, but it doesn't taste much, and there is no movement."
It can be called "huge" and is still so sluggish. Jiang Lian felt a little bit in his heart: "Tai Sui? How far is it from us?"
Meng Qianzi shook her head: "I can't figure it out, three to five hundred meters, or even further."
She moved to the entrance of the cave, lowered her body, listened carefully, and said again: "There is a sound of water, have you heard it? Gurgle."
The sound of water? The charlatan didn't hear it, but he was too qualified to express his opinion in this section: "When we were in the ice veins, the water was rising, and it was gurgling. Could it be that it was connected with this place and everyone rose together?"
This last sentence was said to Jiang Lian.
Jiang Lian answered the question: "We just slid down in the ice vein for so long, and the depth will not be shallow. I'm afraid it's more than three to five hundred meters. If the holes are connected, the water will rise in that place, of course this place will rise..."
Speaking of this, he suddenly thought of something: "I remember that the water ghost who had gone down the drifting cave said that Tai Sui seemed to be drowned in the water?"
The charlatan corrected him: "It's not always drowned in the water. Sometimes it's all soaked in the water, and sometimes it's water released. It seems that the water will be changed regularly."
That's right, Jiang Lian's heart beats violently: "It is said that the Yellow River water comes from the sky, and it is also said that Kunlun snow water is the source of thousands of water. There is no shortage of water here, but the altitude is too high, and the groundwater rises to a certain height, and the temperature drops, and it will gradually freeze..."
The charlatan shouted out with a "ah": "The water rises regularly and recedes. After the water recedes, the residual water hanging on the mountain wall will freeze. After repeated for a long time, a thick layer of ice will hang..."
He stretched out his fingers to Duan Wenxi's ice corpse: "That's how Miss Duan is, she's frozen into an ice corpse?"
Jiang Lian fought a cold war: "The locations we entered the mountain intestines are very high. Although those positions are extremely cold, there is no ice because there is no water in the abdomen of the mountain, which means that the water cannot reach that height. Then the two of us slid deep down and entered the ice blood vessels. The Qiantai is the 'lower ninth level' and fell very deep down. At this position, the water fluctuates regularly, and ice can be seen everywhere."
He pointed to the bronze chain again: "That was a fishing platform, the chain was a fishing line, and it was placed about twenty meters down. Duan Taipo is the bait, so the bait naturally needs to hang into the water. In other words, when the water rises, at least you will touch the original suspended position of Duan Taipo and rise to the bottom of the stone cover?"
Meng Qianzi understood seven or eighty-eight times after hearing this. She raised the flashlight, illuminated the ice dragon, and then illuminated the stone cover: Indeed, although the ice dragon is above the world, there is no ice on the stone cover.
Fishing platform, of course, should be built above the water surface, so that it is convenient for "fishing".
Thinking of the box floating in the water, Jiang Lian's mind suddenly shone through: "The box is a tooth, Yan Luo came in with the box. Before he got the Qilin Crystal, according to his personality, he would never throw the box away, because he couldn't say whether he needed to come in again three times, so these things were all useful. But after getting the Qilin Crystal, the rabbit and the dog cooked it, these things were a burden to him..."
Meng Qianzi's heart moved: "What do you mean is he abandoned the box here?"
Jiang Lian's throat was dry, and he swallowed his saliva before continuing: "Yes, either throw it on the stone cover, but there was no one on the stone cover; or he threw it down the hole. At that time, he put Grandma Duan fishing, and the bottom was water. After the box fell, it fell into the water and floated on the water. Later, the water receded, and the box retreated to a low place."
Meng Qianzi murmured: "Then, when the water rises, the box will... float up again?"
Could it be that for nearly half a century, the box has been in the dark belly of this dark mountain, and it has been rising and falling as the water rises and falls?
Jiang Lian nodded: "I don't know what the structure at the bottom of the mountain looks like. As far as the point is concerned, except for the ice blood vessel, it is this bottomless pit. The ice blood vessel that the charlatan and I fell off has a bronze cover at the bottom, so the box cannot enter the ice blood vessel, but I am not sure whether the other ice blood vessels have a cover at the bottom..."
The charlatan interjected: "It should be, too. Do you still remember that the Snowy Man threw two frozen icicles at Miss Meng and the others? Only when people are trapped at the end of the ice blood vessels can they be frozen into icicles and then taken out. Moreover, the ice blood vessels are too thin and are circling around. If the box floats in, it may be stuck or stranded."
If the possibility of ice blood vessels is ruled out, then only...
Meng Qianzi suddenly became excited: "Jiang Lian said that when he saw the box being blocked by a bronze cover, it floated away shortly afterwards. If the water was still rising and continued to rise under the stone cover, would the box be floating up like this?"
Jiang Lian's palms gradually became sweaty.
Yes, according to the current inference, the box will slowly float up as the water rises, slowly floating under his nose.
He stumbled and said, "Qianzi, please help me and listen, is the water still rising?"
Meng Qianzi leaned down again, listened quietly for a while, and said softly: "It's still rising, it's rising."
He asked him again: "Do you want to look at the hole? Maybe in a moment or three, you will see the box floating on the water."
Jiang Lianxiao, but he didn't dare to look over and see: "No, is it so sudden, so easy... I'm looking for it?"
Meng Qianzi didn't say anything, but moved down to the edge of the cave again.
What happened suddenly? What was easier? Jiang Lian spent most of his life, or his whole life, almost running around for the box, starting with him throwing the chicken legs he had been chewing at Kuang Tongsheng.
But after searching for too long, people will easily get lost in the process, and when the results come, they will not believe it.
Meng Qianzi lowered her head, and from her position, she could see the endless darkness on her head.
No one spoke, and it seemed that the slightest voice would cause the development of things to deviate from the direction, causing the expected result to be deviated - the charlatan took off a sweater, carefully wrapped seven animal bones in it, and stuffed them into his backpack with precious land; Jiang Lian sat still, Jiang Queqiao climbed into his arms at some point, and he felt comfortable in his hanging palm, and scratched his wrist with his little head from time to time.
Meng Qianzi sat by the cave and looked down at her head intently.
The darkness was originally floating, and then gradually became clear; the original color was hollow and ethereal, and then it became a nearly rippling brightness of the flashlight. Meng Qianzi adjusted the brightness of the flashlight to the maximum, and kept patrolling the water surface, changing and sweeping, not missing any corner.
Then, her voice trembled a little: "Jiang Lian, come and see."
There was a buzzing sound in Jiang Lian's eardrum. He calmed down and then got up, touching Meng Qianzi one knee to the ground, holding her wrist holding the flashlight in one hand, holding her breath and looking down.
See it.
In a very side, next to the mountain wall on the side, the base sank a little under the water, and the box body was slightly rippling, which was very inconspicuous. When the light column turned slightly, you could vaguely see the hollow patterns on the box body.
Meng Qianzi whispered: "Congratulations, you have been muttering the box ten thousand times in your life? People say that if you never forget it, there will be a resounding sound, and you will finally find it."
It should also be congratulations to the charlatan, he found seven beast bones.
As for me, I am also worthy of congratulations. She found the body of Grandma Duan who has been missing for nearly half a century.
Meng Qianzi smiled.
Chapter completed!
