Chapter 126 Dragon Totem (Dedicated to the Roundest Moon)
Chapter 126 Dragon Totem
After walking for a pillar of incense, Dazai lifted the lantern and carefully lit a torch on the wall with a candle, and soon, the torches were connected into a line of fire and snaked into the depths of darkness.
As the lights continued to be lit, Yun Lang's mouth opened wide in shock at the luxury in front of him.
The first thing that caught his eye was a huge skeleton, which was far beyond Yun Lang's imagination......
"What kind of bone is this?" Yun Lang asked in a dreamy tone...... With this skeleton, the various gems that were shining brightly on the stone walls were eclipsed.
"Dragon!" Dazai's eyes narrowed, slowly adjusting to the intense light.
Yun Lang's gaze fell on the four thick and short claws, and he said to himself in disbelief: "Is there really a creature like a dragon? β
Yun Lang was pretty sure he saw a dragon!
Whether it is the antlers on its head, or the bones of a horse's face, or the slender and rounded ribs of a snake, or the huge scales scattered on the ground, and the four thick claws that support the bones, it proves that this is the remains of a dragon.
"The king met a black dragon while worshipping the heavens on the shore of Weishui......" Dazai stroked the dragon's bones, a look of reminiscence, as if he had seen the scene himself.
"The First Emperor Weishui sacrificed to the sky and saw the black dragon, is this true?"
Dazai smiled: "Naturally, it's true, it's recorded in the history books." β
"Is this it?"
Dazai's expression flickered a little, and he said insincerely: "It should be!" β
Yun Lang was bewildered by the five-zhang long dragon skeleton, and after thinking for a long time, he realized that this dragon had no flesh and skin.
There are only bones, and the skeleton is completely terrifying, which is very different from the dinosaur bones that Yun Lang saw in later generations.
He picked up a palm-sized scale from the ground, this thing is very similar to fish scales, or it is fish scales, even if too much time has passed, there is no fishy smell, but there is still a trace of residual meridians attached to the fish scales, this should be real scales, but I don't know what kind of big fish it is, or a dragon's.
Dazai saw that Yun Lang was fascinated by the dragon's bones, so he walked to the edge of the hall, raised a small hammer, and rhythmically sounded a set of chimes placed there.
The sound is clear and melodious......
Yun Lang rode on the dragon's head, carefully observed the dragon's skull, and when he found that the part of the long horn was not one with the rest of the skull, he was faintly disappointed......
Sure enough, after he continued to examine the rest of the dragon skull, he had no interest in this dragon skull.
The whole dragon skull is cleverly inlaid with a deer head, a bull's head, and a horse's skull, and then a deer's head, a bull's head, and a horse's head are naturally formed into a decent dragon's head.
It can be seen that the first emperor has put a lot of effort into showing his adventures, and the deer head, bull head, and horse head are easy to find, but the fifteen-meter-long giant snake body, as well as the four huge claws under its abdomen, and even those palm-sized fish scales, are very rare things, especially the four big claws, Yun Lang felt that they should be taken from a very, very huge crocodile.
Yun Lang picked up more than a dozen large fish scales and put them in his backpack, and Dazai happened to finish knocking out a decent song "Mountain Ghost", and after knocking it, he bent down to give a salute, as if he was standing in the main hall of the First Emperor playing music for the First Emperor.
"Finished reading the dragon?" Dazai asked proudly.
Yun Lang couldn't say that this thing was fake, so he had to pretend to be full of admiration and nodded: "It turns out that the dragon is like this!" β
Dazai became more and more proud, patted the bones and said: "This is still a young dragon, the body is far from growing, according to my yes, the body of the dragon that has grown up is hundreds of zhang, it can sow clouds and spit fog in the sky, and in the rivers, lakes and seas, it can set off monstrous waves."
I, Great Qin, have the blessing of heaven, so I can be lucky enough to get a heavenly dragon...... It's a pity that Tianlong is young and has not grown up, so my Great Qin has the tragic experience of the death of the second.
Han Gaozu Liu Bang slashed the white snake and endowed the wind to lay the foundation of the Han Kingdom, I Ye Ye thought that the white snake that Liu Bang killed was also a dragon, and it was even younger than the dragon I got in the Great Qin Dynasty.
Since my Great Qin's Protector Divine Dragon has grown to five zhang, it can only protect my Great Qin and the Second Generation, and the younger Divine Dragon that Liu Bang killed is even more unbearable.
After Liu Bang's death, the Han Kingdom was in chaos, and I thought that the Han Kingdom was about to be unlucky and about to perish, so I constantly agitated and funded those who were unwilling...... As a result, after Emperor Wen of Han succeeded to the throne, he quickly pacified the world......
Only then did the mausoleum guards remember that it has been thirty-five generations since Qin Zhong sealed the country and even Zhuang Gong to Ziying......"
Yun Lang wanted to laugh very much, but when he saw the sad look on Dazai's face, he didn't dare to laugh, so he had to turn his head away, so as not to be bad for Dazai to see the smile.
Dazai saw that Yunlang's shoulders were shaking, and sighed and said: "Laugh if you want to, what do you endure, when Yaye realized this problem, they also laughed for a long time, and some people just laughed to death." β
Yun Lang couldn't laugh when he said a word, and pointed at Dazai and said, "You can't tell cold jokes like this, people who listen to them are full of taste." β
Dazai pointed to the darkness in the distance and said, "There are more jokes sitting there." β
After saying that, he skillfully pulled the chain, and seeing that the fire line was slowly immersed in the cold oil and gradually extinguished, he re-lit the candle and walked back with the lantern.
Yun Lang said strangely: "It's still early today, why do you have to go back?" β
"Repair the gate!" Dazai replied coldly, seeing that Dazai was about to go away, Yun Lang looked at the black dragon bones beside him, shivered, and quickly followed.
Knowing that this dragon was fake, looking at Dazai's serious appearance, Yun Lang still couldn't help but sigh secretly, I don't know how many times this lie has been said by the First Emperor, and if it's not true, it will become true.
Even in later generations, people knew that there should be no such thing as a dragon, but there are countless legends about dragons in the world, and the incense in the Dragon King Temple is still flourishing.
No matter which world it is, it is difficult to tell whether it is true or false.
But it's okay, it is with the existence of this thing, the Chinese people, the merchants, the Zhou people, the Qin people, the Chu people, and the Jin people...... Even the Han people, Jin people, Tang and Song dynasties, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties can be consistent, and finally continue endlessly.
It is ridiculous to talk to the ancients about ancient nature, so Yun Lang resolutely did not say it, living to the point of Dazai, ignorance is a blessing.
The two giant tripods at the gate were moved away by Yun Lang with great effort, but the tall city gate was still not closed, no matter how Dazai shook the huge city gate, the city gate was still immovable, and the door was broken!
Ever since he found out that the door couldn't be closed, Yun Lang had been hiding far away, and he felt that Dazai might be very angry.
Sure enough, Dazai yelled at Yun Lang after panting for a while, "Yun Langβ"
Yun Lang scratched the back of his head helplessly, squatted at the city gate with a bitter face and said: "The two golden people at the gate may be related to this gate, since the golden people have been destroyed, the gate can't be closed, it's better for us to put down the jack gate." β
Dazai sat on the ground helplessly and said, "Once the jack gate is lowered, we will never be able to lift it again with the strength of the two of us." β
Yun Lang pointed to the snake cave and said, "Then continue to drill the hole!" β
It was not appropriate to expect Dazai to climb the city wall, so Yun Lang had to go up by himself, tied the two ladders he brought in together, and reluctantly put them on the city wall, Yun Lang stepped on the soft ladder and climbed up step by step.
"Be careful!" Dazai looked down there with a shudder.
Yun Lang was naturally not too reckless, and when he reached the height where he was enough to fall to death, he nailed an iron ring to the city wall, and then tied the rope around his waist to the iron return, basically two steps and one iron ring.
In this way, he stepped on the rickety ladder and finally climbed to the top of the cave.
The city wall and the top of the cave are mixed together, but fortunately, because of the existence of the battlements, Yunlang still has some space to drill into.
The top of the castle is made of huge beams and is supported by thick stone pillars, and the battlements at the head of the castle not only serve as a decoration of the castle head, but also serve as pillars to support the roof.
A strong crossbow was placed on the mouth of the battlement, and the soldier who wielded the strong crossbow was a terracotta figurine, painted with a red face, and the lips were even more red and frightening, and the skin on the face was not attached to the face, but hung down on the chin......
When there is no one to rely on, Yun Lang generally does not scream to scare himself, the city head is the most humid place, and it is very reasonable for the terracotta warriors and horses here to lose their skin when they are damp.
