Chapter 678 The dragon egg embedded in the crown Looking at the strangely shaped temple, I remembered the information Yang Qing had found, and I knew that the major event of destroying Buddha and establishing Christ as the state religion in the Guge Kingdom was actually a battle for royal power between the two brothers.I can't understand this, is power really more important than the feelings between brothers Just as I was thinking, Shen Dali, who was walking in front of me, suddenly stopped, raised his hand and pointed ahead, and said in a deep voice: "Fifth brother, look, there is a person standing over there." ”I was stunned when I heard this, squinted my eyes and looked forward, and saw that the area illuminated by Shen Dali's flashlight beam seemed to be really faintly standing a person.However, the figure never moved, and looked more like a humanoid sculpture.I thought that Leng Yue's night vision eyes should be able to see what was going on with that figure, so I asked Leng Yue in a low voice: "The one standing over there, have you seen it" Leng Yue nodded, and said in a deep voice with an expressionless face: "It's not a person." ”It seems that, if it were to be as I imagined, there was a humanoid stone sculpture that might resemble a tool built by a hero or a power holder to propagate a belief or an idea.I was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but when I saw that Leng Yue had already thrown the pair of iron chopsticks long again, with a look of full vigilance, it immediately made my heart hang again.Isn't it a person or a person, that thing is not what I imagined, another possibility Leng Yue paused slightly, raised his hand and picked up Xiao Bai on his shoulder, put it on the ground, and then accelerated violently and rushed towards the figure."
Shen Dali, hurry up" I shouted, chasing after Leng Yue with Shen Dali.Leng Yue ran very fast with all her strength, and every step was very big, like an eagle gliding against the ground, full of fighting spirit, leaving me and Shen Dali behind quickly.I paid attention to the figure as I ran, and suddenly noticed that the figure moved, and almost at the same time, Leng Yue actually stopped again.Shen Dali and I quickly caught up with Leng Yue, and had already narrowed the distance between us and the figure, and we were already able to see the true face of the figure through the illumination of the flashlight, and we couldn't help but gasp.If, as Leng Yue said, it is not a person, but a complete human skeleton.What's more special is that this skeleton is actually wearing a very luxurious-looking robe, holding a golden scepter in one hand, and a crown on its head When I saw the crown carried by the skeleton, I was stunned, and my attention was completely attracted by an object in the center of the crown.It was a white ball, which seemed to be covered with intricate patterns, and it looked like it should be embossed, how to look at it, how it looked like the dragon egg we were looking for on this trip."
Leng Yue, quickly take off that dragon egg," Shen Dali shouted excitedly.Leng Yue shook her head, didn't speak, didn't continue to move forward, but took a step back, as if she was dodging something.At that moment, I suddenly heard a "whoosh" sound breaking through the air, and then I noticed to my horror that arrows were falling from the sky, like a raging storm, and they fell between the skeleton and us, and pierced the corpses all over the ground one after another, and pierced them into hedgehogs.Shen Dali and I were not slow to react, and after noticing the overwhelming number of arrows, we slammed back in time.Arrows fell before our eyes, bringing gusts of wind that blew our hair, puffed up our clothes, and startled us in a cold sweat.No wonder Leng Yue didn't continue to move forward, but retreated, it turned out that he had already predicted this rain of arrows.While the rain of arrows was still falling, the three of us retreated sharply with Xiaobai, and collided with Mr.
Cui and the three of us who were chasing us.They were also startled by the rain of arrows, and one by one their eyes widened, their mouths opened, and they were speechless.The rain of arrows came and went like a storm, and it only lasted for about half a minute before it stopped.At this time, there was a distance of more than ten meters between us and the skeleton with the crown, and the ground was densely packed with arrow shafts pierced on the corpse.I was hesitating to take advantage of this gap to rush over and snatch the crown on the top of the skeleton, but I didn't expect that the skeleton suddenly slowly raised a finger to us, and then made a "gurgling" bone collision sound, and then, it actually flew upside down in the sound of the iron chain, and flew higher and higher, and finally turned into a black dot, I don't know where it fell.Mr.
Cui, they should have also seen the dragon eggs inlaid in the crown on the skull, and hurriedly separated the three of us and were about to chase forward, but just after running a few steps, they stopped again, and kept regretting.The skeleton had gone so fast that it had disappeared into the endless darkness, and we could no longer see it.I squeezed next to Leng Yue and asked in a low voice, "Do you see where that guy is" Leng Yue slowly raised her right hand and stretched out her index finger, pointing to the top of the dirt mountain that was already not far from me.It was too far away for the flashlight's beam to reach there, so I could only roughly see the outline of the top of the mountain.There should be a magnificent palace-like structure that looks a bit like the penthouse of the ruins of the Guge Kingdom that we visited during the day.Mr.
Cui and the three of them also followed Leng Yue's hope, silent, with a solemn face.Unexpectedly, we were already able to lock on to the place where the dragon egg was located at this time.This meant that this time, we had to go all the way up to the top of that dirt mountain.Judging from the rain of arrows all over the ground in front of us, our trip will definitely not go well, we will inevitably experience many dangers, and we may even fall into a desperate situation, and it is more likely that we will die before we realize anything.In the past, when we were sure that we would encounter danger, we would inevitably honestly withdraw from the ancient tomb, give up the plan to rob the tomb, and look for the next target.After all, we are just tomb robbers, we rob tombs only for money, and we can't afford to risk our lives to rush into the ancient tombs full of dangers.Now, I am still a grave robber, I already know that there is danger ahead, and I am even ready to die here, and I will never give up and move on.I've made such decisions so many times in this time that I don't need to think about it anymore.Because, I have long ceased to be wealthy, I am for my life, for a life that is more important than my life, and for Zhao Ye's life.I want to gather the dragon eggs, I want to find the secret of immortality and resurrection, and I want Zhao Ye to return to my side to complete my redemption.Even if I lose my life in the process, I have absolutely no regrets.Unknown Tibetan monks have tried to stop us, mirages have tried to stop us, and damned grave keepers have tried to stop us.They didn't sit down, not only because of my ability and that of my brothers, but also because of our determination to risk our lives."
Let's go," I said, brushing aside the weedy arrows in front of me and walking cautiously forward, watching all the sounds with bated breath.With me now, I am confident that I will be aware of those arrows as soon as they come out of my bow.Leng Yue and Shen Dali walked on my left and right, while Mr.
Cui and the three of them followed behind me.Suppressing the anxiety and fear in my heart, I took every step with difficulty, until I walked out of the crowd of arrows standing on the ground, and no more arrows fell.When we came to the foot of the dirt mountain without danger, we were finally able to let out a long breath of evil.Although I already have the consciousness of taking the risk of death, I really have to suppress the very strong fear and anxiety in my heart when I walk out of such a journey.I wasn't afraid to joke when I said it, my calves were already shaking and I felt like I was going to cramp.However, I was still standing, unlike Mr.
Choi and the GI, who were already sitting on the ground.Although the place where we are currently facing the main road from which we came, the dirt mountain in front of us is indeed as steep as a knife cut, and it is very difficult to climb from here.Since there is a palace built on this dirt mountain, it seems very unreasonable that there is no way to go up.So, at my suggestion, a group of six of us began to look for a way up the mountain around the dirt mountain.In the process, I held up my flashlight and observed the buildings on the dirt hill from time to time, and found that there seemed to be occasional figures shaking on it, so I hurriedly reminded everyone to walk against the wall, turned off all the flashlights, and only relied on the tactical spotlights on the miners' hats worn by GIs and others to light the way forward.The area of this dirt mountain is very large, and we went around for a long time, almost half of the dirt mountain, and finally found the stone steps that lead to the top of the mountain.On both sides of the stone steps, there are two sets of leather armor and a leather helmet neatly placed, which is obviously not the style of the ancient Central Plains, and looks more like the armor of the Tubo Kingdom that was so powerful that the Tang Dynasty had to maintain a relationship with relatives.By the way, Yang Qing seems to have mentioned that the Guge Kingdom was established by immigrants from the Tubo Kingdom who were almost the kingdom due to war, and developed into a glorious civilization that was almost lost.I looked up the stone steps at the buildings, and the more I looked at them, the more I felt that they were very imaginary to the ruins of the Guge Kingdom that we had seen in the afternoon.However, the ruins of the Guge Kingdom should obviously be on another dirt hill not far from here.Could it be that when Mao Yue appeared, there would really be a road to the underworld, leading passers-by to the netherworld, thinking of the Yin and Yang Boundary Monument we had seen, thinking of the skeleton we had just seen, thinking of the architectural style here, and thinking of the figures that had been wandering above, I suddenly felt that this kind of speculation was not completely impossible.Although I don't believe that there are ghosts in the world, and I don't believe in the existence of the underworld, at this time, I already have some doubts.I was about to walk up the stone steps when I heard a "bang" sound coming from both sides of me.Immediately afterwards, I was actually dragged by Leng Yue and Shen Dali's left and right arms respectively and dragged to the back.I was about to ask what had happened, but I was already shocked to see that the two sets of armor on either side of the stone steps were actually hollow people standing up, and where they looked to be gloves, they were already clutching their spears.aa2705221:
