Chapter 299: Dragon Birth Day
Qin Xianghe looked back at Zi Yang and said coldly: "Those people came here to steal treasures, and of course Tianlong would not let them go!"
Zi Yang felt a chill, and suddenly remembered the scene of the villagers taming the flying dragon on the mural. Qin Xiang and an old man could survive underground for so long. Could it be that he has really mastered the method of manipulating gargoyles?
Thinking of this section, I couldn't help but feel chilled.
"Uncle, was this secret passage left by Taoist Tianji back then?" Lao Wang said breathlessly as he walked.
The gap in this natural rock wall is wet and muddy, narrow and cramped inside, and the trend is complicated. It is particularly difficult for people like Lao Wang, who have a wide body, to walk. They almost got stuck several times, and they tried hard to suck their stomachs and Zi Yang was urging forward behind them to barely pass.
Qin Xianghe said in a depressed voice, "The secret passage was not left by Taoist Master Tianji, but was secretly chiseled out by the clan members just in case.
At that time, the tribe members were not at ease with these outsiders. In order to prevent Taoist Master Tianji from sealing everyone in the building of the Palace of Changsheng, they found this rock crack in the secret place of the cave. It took several years to carve out a secret passage."
Everyone was shocked. It seemed that this underground project took a long time and might have been completed for several years. Without the assistance of modern engineering machinery, it was simply shocking to build such a magnificent palace under such a steep sinkhole, which was incredible to think about.
Zi Yang suddenly remembered something and couldn't help asking: "Why didn't I find the cemetery of my tribesmen in Qinhan Village?"
When I came to Qinhan Village last year, Zi Yang noticed a strange place that there was no cemetery in Qinhan Village.
Logically speaking, the descendants of these Qin army have reproduced and lived in Qinhan Village for generations. The number of people who have been born, old, sick and died for more than two thousand years must be very large. Why didn’t there be any cemetery in Qinhan Village? Did these Qin army descendants not have the habit of tribute to their ancestors?
At this time, the team marched into a spacious stone nest. Qin Xianghe sighed, sat dejectedly on a stone, and said slowly:
"The ancestors believed that our clan was cursed, and even after death, the undead could not rest in peace. We needed to continue to atone for our sins with our flesh. Therefore, Qinhan Village has always maintained a tradition, and all the dead people were thrown into the sinkhole to sacrifice to Tianlong.
After the completion of the Palace of Changsheng, this custom was still followed, but it was tied with heavy objects and sank to the bottom of the water.
Although Taoist Master Tianji saved us from the disaster of living animals, the tribesmen still inevitably suffered from the disaster of death sacrifice."
Lao Wang was shocked: "That means, are you giving all the dead to the monsters in the water? No wonder these monsters all look so evil!"
Qin Xianghe nodded heavily: "The custom of water burial in Qinhan Village has been passed down for thousands of years, and there has been nothing abnormal. It was not until recent years that I realized something was wrong!"
"What's the situation?" Everyone looked solemn, and they couldn't help but feel nervous.
"Two years ago, an old man who died of illness was buried in the water in the village. That night, I actually saw the shadow of Tianlong on the edge of the pool!" Qin Xianghe said in panic, as if the scene he saw that night was very shocking to him.
Everyone knew that the "Heavenly Dragon" mentioned by Qin Xianghe was a gargoyle, and it was also the "gray shadow" and "flying dragon" that Prasad and Sharma called.
Qin Xianghe continued to murmur: "These dragons have been sealed underwater for thousands of years. For some reason, they now have the ability to shuttle in deep water!"
Lao Wang said, "Since these dragons can surface freely, Taoist Master Tianji built a palace, water-drawing sealing, etc., wouldn't all what he did be wasted?"
Qin Xianghe stared at the ground with a sad expression and said slowly: "I was shocked at that time. I was born in the sky. Could it be that something strange happened in the Changsheng Palace below? In order to find out the reason, I had to break the taboo left by my ancestors for thousands of years and open the legendary secret passage."
"After the construction of the Palace of Eternal Life, have the secret passages been used?" Su Rui asked.
Qin Xianghe nodded: "The ancestors were worried that opening the secret passage would release the earth energy of the Changsheng Palace, so they were forbidden from entering for generations. Unless, unless the earth energy of the Changsheng Palace has been broken.
The tombkeepers have been guarding each other for generations of secrets passed down by their ancestors, including the location of the secret passage and the method of enslaving the dragon.
According to the information left by my ancestors, I found the secret path and entered the underground palace. It took several months to find out the road here. I found the Palace of Eternal Life that my ancestors mentioned - and also saw the things you saw today."
"You just mentioned that your ancestors left behind the method of enslaving the dragons, which means that you can control their actions, right?" Su Rui asked.
Qin Xianghe was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No, no. My ancestors only saw that Tianlong was very sensitive to sounds, and some special tones could affect their actions. They could find some general tricks based on this. There is no question of controlling them, how could these beasts control them? It doesn't work..."
Qin Xianghe muttered a few words, got up and continued walking forward, and said as he walked: "After I found this place, I found a big hole on the top of the hall, and the Palace of Changsheng inside was also destroyed. These dragons usually hide on the beams of the Palace of Changsheng.
Later, I thought about it for a long time. Taoist Tianji said that as long as there is no outsider invasion, the Palace of Changsheng will not collapse and will enjoy peace forever in the future.
Now the energy situation in the Changsheng Palace has been broken. It is likely that it is because the secret path secretly dug by the clan members back then has been released from the ground. Alas, disasters! disasters!"
Qin Xianghe sighed heavily when he said this, "Later, I found a reason to get some explosives from the village, wanting to blow up this secret passage and restore the layout of the Taoist Tianji when he built the underground palace-unexpected..."
"I didn't expect that Chen Ruixi stole explosives and went to the mountain to explode the Tianchi Lake. As a result, the ground veins were moved and there was an accident. Then the superiors sent someone to investigate. Later, Professor Zhang came here to find the reason and found the secret of Qinhan Village. Later, he drove away the villagers, sent an exploration team, and went directly to the underground palace..."
Zi Yang said this in one breath, now he has basically figured out the whole story.
Qin Xianghe didn't say anything, it seemed that he had agreed to Zi Yang's speculation.
Zi Yang continued, "But I have a question. Since the village chief knows that it is so dangerous under the sinkhole, why don't you come out to stop the exploration team?"
Most of the members of that group of exploration teams were scientists, and it is very likely that they did not know Professor Zhang’s real purpose. Qin Xianghe should also know this.
Qin Xianghe did not answer his words, but instead accelerated his pace, and his body appeared and appeared in the shadow of the cliff.
Lao Wang followed a few steps and stopped and said, "Oh no, the old boy is gone!!"
The three of them stopped and several forks of similar size appeared in front of them. I wonder which one was the direction where Qin Xianghe disappeared.
"Village Chief! Old Master! Where are you? Wait for us!!!" Lao Wang shouted at the top of his throat, his shouting echoed between the cliff walls. After a long time, no one responded.
Lao Wang panicked, surrounded his hands around his mouth to form a trumpet shape, and shouted loudly, "Village Chief..."
"No need to shout, he won't come out anymore, we're trapped!" Su Rui frowned and said, "He deliberately led us here."
Lao Wang said in surprise with his eyes open: "How could it be! If the old man wanted to harm us, he would have let the gargoyle tear us up in the Palace of Eternal Life. Will he take off his pants and fart him to do this?"
"I led Tianlong out because I was afraid that you would fight inside and destroy the things in the palace." A gloomy voice came from a distance, which was Qin Xianghe who disappeared bizarrely.
Everyone looked around and saw cracks in rock walls. The sound echoed here, and there was no way Qin Xianghe was in.
"I really underestimated you." Qin Xiang's cold voice floated around, "I thought you would be like the people from the exploration team. When you entered the underground palace, you were immediately killed by the dragons and the dragons. Unexpectedly, you were extraordinary. Not only did you interpret the secrets engraved on the murals by our ancestors, but also killed a dragon. If I hadn't led you here, I wouldn't know how hard you could have."
After hearing what he said, everyone instantly understood that the light on the stone wall was deliberately led by Qin Xianghe.
Lao Wang cursed angrily: "Get out of here, you immortal, what are the dragons and earth dragons? They are just stinky reptiles and rotten bats. If you have the ability, call them over! I will kill a few of them!"
Qin Xianghe sneered: "Don't wait for the dragon and the dragon to take action, you will naturally starve to death here. I took you around for so long just now, and you can't find the way out. It took me several months to figure out the place."
"That's because you are so stupid! The three of us are so smart that we can find our way out in an hour. You guy hid me obediently, and I caught you and pinched your yolk!" Lao Wang jumped and scolded, and Qin Xianghe hummed twice and stopped talking.
Zi Yang looked at Su Rui with a frown, lowered his voice and said softly: "The gaps in this cave look similar, and we may not be able to find a way out in a few hours. What's more, there are countless dangers in the dark."
Su Rui also frowned and said, "What I am more worried about is the explosives in his hand. Qin Xianghe just said that he is ready to use explosives to collapse the secret passage and seal the hole."
Zi Yang and Lao Wang looked at each other and couldn't help but feel anxious.
At this time, Qin Xianghe's voice sounded again, "A few little kids, I, Qin Xianghe, have no grudges with you, and I have no choice but to let you die here at a young age. If you want to blame, you can only break in. Anyone entering the underground palace must die, and no one can go out alive! Only the dead can keep the secret."
Lao Wang cursed: "Shut up your mouth! Will your conscience hurt if you kill us? Are you worthy of the dead Ruilin? Can you sleep at night? I will not let you go if I become a ghost!"
Qin Xianghe said slowly: "I won't go out. When the explosives sound, I'll be here with you. I don't want to live anymore. If you have any grudges, go to the underworld to settle the score with me."
Everyone looked at each other. It seemed that Qin Xianghe had made up his mind to be buried with them and be the last tomb guard in Qinhan Village.
"Old Li, what should I do?" Lao Wang said in panic when he looked at Zi Yang.
"I don't know what to do. Alas, if Wang Juan is here, her super sensing can help us locate Qin Xianghe's position. Maybe we can intercept him before he detonates the explosives."
Zi Yang squatted on the ground and said dejectedly. He knew that the hindshot was useless, but he couldn't think of any way to get out of it when he was trapped in this deep cave.
Only prayer miracles happened.
At this moment, a rumbling sound suddenly came from a distance, and the gravel on his head fell, and the entire cave seemed to be shaking. Lao Wang stood still and fell down on the ground.
Everyone was disgraced, and Qin Xianghe finally detonated the explosives.
Chapter completed!
