The years when I was Captain Jin

Chapter 218 Iron Box

"Hehe, a dragon is a snake, and a snake is a dragon." After seeing all the murals, Zhang Sanpao stood up and smiled very easily.

It was as if he understood everything.

"What do you mean?" asked the fat man.

"If you are familiar with history, you will know that in China in ancient times, the earliest totem of human beings was the snake! They believed that snakes could crawl without relying on their limbs, which meant they had obtained the power of gods, and snakes had particularly strong reproductive ability and vitality. They are very strong, and they are often cut into several pieces without dying. These cater to the worship of primitive people. Therefore, in myths and legends, the ancestors of human beings, Fuxi and Nuwa, were both human heads and snake bodies. Even Pangu, who opened the world, After death, they all turned into a big snake."

Speaking of this, Zhang Sanpao paused and continued: "And after the founding of the People's Republic of China, many cultural relics unearthed also proved this point, such as snake-shaped clay pots, and torture tools shaped like snake heads. These things are all 8000 The product of years ago is enough to prove that our ancestors believed in snakes for a full 3000 years! It was not until after the Yellow Emperor fought against Chiyou that the dragon totem was slowly produced, and we have also changed from the descendants of the snake to the descendants of the dragon..."

"Seeing these murals, I understand everything. I understand why we haven't really caught a dragon since ancient times? Why did Dayu call this giant black mamba the Dragon King?" Zhang Sanpao laughed Said: "Because the so-called dragon is actually just a big snake. This black mamba is so big. In order to adapt to the environment at the bottom of the Yellow River and facilitate predation, it will definitely mutate, such as growing claws, horns, etc., so Ah, the dragons of our myths and legends slowly took shape."

"Fuck, Brother Pao, what you said is quite reasonable." The fat man nodded repeatedly and said, "Isn't there a Chinese folk saying that a snake turns into a dragon, and a dragon turns into a dragon? Fatty, I used to make antiques in Sichuan. At that time, I saw a few lumberjacks carrying a giant python more than ten meters long down the mountain. I went up and asked how the giant python got here. Guess how they answered? They said that the giant python was struck to death by lightning. An old man in the same company quietly told me that this giant python has become a spirit and is going to cross the catastrophe. If it succeeds in crossing the catastrophe, it will turn into a flood dragon. But God did not allow it to cross the catastrophe, and it was killed by a thunderbolt. You can’t eat the meat of this kind of giant python. If you eat it, the whole family will suffer. Then I heard that after eating that giant python, there will always be small snakes in the homes of several lumberjacks. There are colorful snakes everywhere in the water tank, in the quilt, and in the end they frightened them to death..."

"Okay, everyone, hurry up and hurry! Staying in this pile of rocks, I'm afraid that some mechanism will be touched again, and we will be taken over by the same time." Grandpa urged.

Uncle Ming, on the other hand, looked at the waterfall not far away with a gloomy face, without saying a word.

Seeing that what Grandpa said made sense, I called everyone to run away. This cobblestone path was not long at all. As we accelerated, we soon reached the bottom of the waterfall.

I saw that the waterfall is about 40 meters high. From top to bottom, it looks like a pouring Milky Way, and it looks like a group of tigers roaring down the hill.Thousands of water splashes hit the rocks and the bronze pillar in the middle, making a loud crash, and aroused clouds of white mist, which is simply majestic!

And that strangely shaped iron box was lying quietly on the altar filled with candlesticks at this moment.

Look carefully at the iron box, the whole body is carved with dense patterns.

On the front, back, left, and right sides, there is a small protruding iron lump, which is not very eye-catching. It is estimated that people who don't know how to do it will directly sell it as scrap iron to the junk collector.

"I guess, there must be a key in this iron box, which can open Dayu's treasure, at least a few tons, no, dozens of tons of gold!" The fat man said drooling.

Seeing the fat man climbing up the waterfall, I was about to reach for the box, and I quickly shouted: "Wait first! See if there is any problem."

"Grandma, what are you waiting for? The baby is out, so it's a pity if you don't take it? According to me, don't care about his mother's problems, you have to be quick and slow, take it out and sell it for some money. Domineering. When the time comes, the fat man will contract Quanjude, and invite everyone to eat authentic roast duck, eat one and throw one away, that's how willful you are." The fat man laughed loudly, and was about to continue climbing.

There is still a steep slope to climb from where we are now to the waterfall.

The fat man was obese, and it was still very difficult to get up. He was sweating profusely after a while, but it seemed that the power of money had the upper hand. Seeing the iron box getting closer, the fat man's speed also increased.

Just when the fat man was about to approach the waterfall, Grandpa suddenly shouted: "Stand still, there is something under the waterfall."

"Stuff, what?"

The fat man was startled by his grandfather's sudden shout, and quickly looked into the waterfall, but found that the deep pool under the waterfall was quiet and nothing unusual, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I said, old man , can we stop being so surprised, look at this place, except for the spray from the waterfall, you can't even see a fish, so there is nothing there."

While speaking, Grandpa had already led us to throw out the flying claw hooks and climbed up the slope in unison.

As soon as we stabilized our feet, we took the flashlight and shone into the waterfall.

I saw that the deep pool under the waterfall was dark, and there seemed to be something blocking our sight in the water.Moreover, apart from the waves stirred up by the waterfall, there are no traces of fish and shrimp living in the deep pool, and the tranquility seems to be a pool of stagnant water.

"Grandpa, is there really a problem with this waterfall?" I asked suspiciously.

"This is the eye of the entire Yellow River. There are countless underground rivers. How could it be so calm? If something goes wrong, there must be a demon." After finishing speaking, grandpa dipped his hand in some water, tasted it in his mouth, and then pooh He spat out with a loud sound: "The taste is wrong, there must be something under here, so the water quality has changed."

"What can water taste like?" Fatty didn't believe it, so he went up to taste it curiously, and just after taking a sip, he vomited again and again: "It's so fishy, ​​what kind of stuff is in this water?"

Suddenly, I felt as if I was woken up by a fat man, and my body trembled, and I quickly turned my fearful eyes to Zhang Sanpao: "Sanpao, whether it is Hetu Luoshu or Dinghaishenzhen, they were all arranged by Dayu to suppress the Dragon King. Now that Hetu Luoshu is available, and the Dinghai Shenzhen Needle is close at hand, but there is one thing we have never seen..."

Zhang Sanpao instantly understood what I meant: "Boss, do you suspect that the Dragon King is under the deep pool?"

"Yeah." I nodded.

After hearing my words, everyone's expressions changed, and they raised their weapons one after another, pointing vigilantly at the dark deep pool.

At this moment, this Wang Shentan is like a devil from hell, which makes our backs shiver uncontrollably.

And I always feel that there is a pair of eyes watching me at the bottom of the deep pool!
