Taoism moves mountains

Chapter 213 There is an ancient ship on the billabong pool

Dragon, the leader of scale insects; Lin, the leader of caterpillars; Phoenix, the leader of feather insects; Turtle, the leader of medium insects.

The nature of the dragon is inherently lustful, so the nine sons of the dragon each have their own interests, and the nine sons of the dragon each have their own shape and are not all the same.

The prototype of bixi is like a spotted turtle, which is similar to a turtle, but there are subtle differences in the number of carapace and luggage.

According to folklore, Bixi is the offspring of a dragon and a tortoise, so it grows into the shape of a dragon-headed tortoise, also known as the dragon tortoise.

Anyone who knows some myths and legends will be familiar with this relief.

"Yes, King Xian wants to live forever so much, so it makes sense to believe in Bixi. In ancient times, Bixi was regarded by the people as a symbol of longevity and good luck. It likes to bear heavy loads, works hard, and always strives to move forward with its head held high. Tenaciously holding on to one foot, he crawled forward hard and never stopped." Jiang Yang naturally saw that the relief was a bastard.

"There is another Bixi here!" Chen Yuguan discovered that not only was there a Bixi relief on the stone wall on the right, but there was also a Bixi on the stone wall on the left.

Jiang Yang and others turned around and looked over, and saw that there was indeed a crocodile on the stone wall on the left.

"Does Mr. Xian Wang think that more carvings will help you live longer?" Chen Yugan said jokingly.

"Yes, if you touch Bixi's head, you will live to be ninety-nine; if you touch Bixi's tail, you can grab gold everywhere." Jiang Yang also smiled and said perfunctorily.

This made Chen Yugan feel embarrassed.

"Not to mention, I have heard some rumors. There are people who go to the tombs to collect these Bixi objects. They probably also admire and believe in this Bixi mythical beast." Mingu whistle said.

After hearing this, Chen Yuguan felt even more speechless.

Jiang Yang shook his head and smiled, and continued to look at the relief murals with the flashlight. After a closer look, he made a new discovery: "This is not a bastard."

He felt that the relief on the left did not look like Pixi, but more like a picture of pepper.

Bixi and Jiaotu are both the ninth sons of the dragon. One is ranked sixth and the other is ninth. The two are very similar. After all, they are brothers.

Hearing Jiang Yang's affirmative tone, Min Gushao looked over in surprise and found something strange.

"Is this a pepper picture?" he asked with some confusion.

"Yes, it's the picture of Lao Jiujiao of the Nine Sons of the Dragon." Jiang Yang affirmed again.

Hua Ling'er and Russule Liang both looked confused, looking at Jiang Yang and Min Guxiao with questions on their heads.

Jiang Yang saw this and smiled lightly.

It is perfectly normal for people who do not delve into this field to know Bixi but not Jiaotu.

Because Bixi is an auspicious object in myths and legends and can be seen everywhere in many places, but Jiaotu is different.

Jiao Tu has a secluded nature and hates others entering its lair. It never interacts with outsiders and is not well known to everyone.

"This is both a bastard and a pepper picture. What exactly does Mr. Xian Wang want to express?" Chen Yuguan was a little confused at this time.

"Don't think too much, just understand it simply. The jiaotu is reclusive by nature, and it has the meaning of guarding the house and warding off evil spirits. The function of this jiaotu should be to suppress the evil spirits in the tomb. Carving it here means that there must be a tomb deep in the cave. ." Jiang Yang thought about the meaning of these two reliefs, but his head hurt when he thought about it, and he couldn't figure it out. Then he returned to the superficial understanding,
  It’s not that he didn’t think it over carefully, but it just felt like it didn’t have much meaning. He was not an archeologist anyway, and the relief was not valuable.

Jiang Yang had already said this, so naturally Chen Yuguan wouldn't think too much about it. After all, Jiang Yang was still the soul and brain of the team.

As they continued to move forward, there were more and more relief murals, and gradually they saw some text descriptions.

Fortunately, these words can still be seen clearly, and they are words that Jiang Yang and Min Gushao can understand.

"...I accidentally found it recorded in the heavenly book that the divine beads can make people immortal and realize magical powers...it requires great power to activate, and the price is extremely heavy..."

Hearing Min Gushao read a passage, Jiang Yang began to think quietly.

[The Muchen Divine Bead can really make people immortal, and can also make people realize supernatural powers? Isn't this a bit exaggerated? What is this power? What's the cost? 】

The content of Chen Yuguan's meditation was similar to Jiang Yang's, but he was not so persistent. He came back to his senses immediately: "It seems that King Xian really got the Muchen Divine Bead, and he worked hard to study the power of the Divine Bead. That's why he wasted on national affairs, which led to the death of the Xian Dynasty." "There is a possibility that he was reluctant to part with the divine beads, so he went to a lot of trouble to build his own tomb here, so that himself and the divine beads could be buried in the world." Gu Xiao said through the interface.

"Don't you find it contradictory? Judging from these two sentences, I read that King Xian's mood seems to be helpless and pity; but from the servants who appeared along the way, as well as the royal tomb built with all the efforts of the country, Everything shows that this King Xian is a tyrannical and cruel king, isn't it contradictory?" Jiang Yang asked with a deep look on his face.

【yes! If a king like King Xian could live forever, he would probably not give up no matter how heavy the price was. 】

Min Gushao and Chen Yuguan both thought of this.

"People will only have all kinds of helplessness and regret when they are beyond their capabilities. Maybe King Xian also has things he can't do." After thinking deeply, Chen Yuguan came to such a guess.

Min Gushao sighed: "Maybe so."

"I'm telling you, three brothers, we are here to break into tombs and look for beads. Isn't it a waste of time to sigh at the murals here?" Hua Ling'er said out loud at this time.

Jiang Yang, Min Gushao, and Chen Yuguan suddenly realized: "Yeah, I'm really out of my mind. I didn't come here to pay homage to the great achievements of the ancients." 】

The three of them looked at each other and smiled before continuing to move deeper into the cave.

Walking and walking, the corridor is like a winding intestine.

As we walked, a narrow mountain path with stairs appeared, sloping downwards, with a bottomless abyss on the side.

Jiang Yang used a flashlight to shine it, but he really couldn't see the bottom.

This is the only road ahead and I have to take it.

"Be careful!" Jiang Yang warned.

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Yuguan became unsteady and slipped his foot.

Fortunately, Min Gushao helped him in time, otherwise he would definitely fall.

The gravel that Chen Yuguan slipped on rolled down the abyss on the edge, and soon the sound of pebbles falling into the water was heard.

Several people with good hearing heard this sound.

"Is there water below?" Hua Ling'er asked uncertainly.

"It should be!" Jiang Yang leaned forward and shined a flashlight on it, and he could really see some sparkling light in the water.

It is estimated that the color of the water is relatively dark, and the reflection could not be seen before using a flashlight. Now there are waves, so the light can be refracted.

Not long after, the five people reached the end of the mountain road and came to a flat stone platform.

"Why is there a ship here?" Chen Yukuan asked doubtfully as he looked at the ancient wooden ship in front of him.

"The way down is probably on the other side of this pool. You have to take this ancient ship to go there." Jiang Yang looked around and saw that there were stone walls all around, and what he saw in front of him was a stagnant pool with no other way forward.

The water in the pool is really dirty, and you can smell a faint fishy smell through the gas mask.

No one wants to go to such a dirty pool first.

The ancient boats prepared here indicate that they are meant for ferrying.

It's just that this ancient ship is too old, broken everywhere, and there is dust visible to the naked eye, just like a ghost ship.

"Do you really want to build this boat?" Hua Ling'er asked weakly. She was really worried that the ancient boat would break down when it reached the middle of the pool, and then fall into the dirty and smelly pool water.

"I can't help it, this pool seems to be quite big, and I can't see the end yet." Jiang Yang replied helplessly.

"Just listen!" Chen Yukuan suggested.
