Chapter 73 Groping for gold talisman

Seeing that we were about to catch up with Big Gold Tooth who was being dragged away by the Sphinx Spider “Black Bird”, we did not expect that our only source of light, Fatty’s “Wolf Eyes” flashlight, would run out of batteries at this exact moment. Batteries.

Immediately became blind, I know in my heart, this time as long as the slightest delay, Dajinya will be dragged into the depths of the nest of spiders, can no longer save him, the kind of toxin paralysis melted and slowly sucked the tragic situation, as placed in the pain with the hell of abyss ……

I didn’t think much about it, I stripped off my own clothes, the back of the clothes were worn on the ground, and pulled a few tugs hard by hand, and tore it open, and removed the sleeves in three tries, and took the kettle with half a jug of wine from the hands of the fat man, and sprinkled it haphazardly on my clothes, and lit them on fire with a lighter, and the clothes I wore were the 78-style uniforms, and they were prone to sticking to my skin when they burned, so the troops in combat were still I was wearing a Type 78 uniform, which burned and stuck to my skin, so when I was in combat, the troops were still issued with Type 65 and Type 65 changes, which could be purchased brand new in Beijing if you wanted to wear them.

Because we have to drill a cave, we have deliberately found a few pieces of sturdy clothes, I was wearing this uniform on my body, I can not imagine this time to come in handy, I lit the clothes, quickly burned up, I am worried about sticking in the hands of the burn themselves, do not dare to slow down, the mass of clothes, like a fireball thrown to the front.

Borrowing the light of the fire, only to see the big gold tooth is being pulled into a triangular hole, the fire will soon be extinguished, I see clearly the direction, and the fat man while running forward, the side of the clothes, the body can burn all lit up and thrown out lighting.

Seeing the big gold tooth is going to be dragged backwards into the triangular hole, I ran two steps and pounced over, tugged on the big gold tooth’s arm, pulling him back, the fat man also then arrived, cut off the spider silk entangled in the big gold tooth, this time the big gold tooth is only two meters short of the distance, it will be dragged into the triangular cave.

Look at Dajinya, he has been knocked by the rocks in the cave bruised and swollen, his body is full of blood marks, but he still maintains his sanity, this is really unfortunate in a million fortunate.

I thought this hole is the spider lair, must hurry to leave, so as not to be attacked again, I and the fat man on the clothes have been burned almost, and then burned down to the bare buttocks, and we were dragged by spiders in the cave I do not know how far, the path has long been lost and difficult to discern, but at the moment can not care about so much, the first to touch the dark and far away from the calculation.

I am trying to and fat man to carry away the big gold teeth, not waiting to move the energy, suddenly from the opposite side of the triangular hole in the flying out of a few spider silk, the front of this spider silk like India throw cake, post to the body on the shake can not get rid of, and speed is extremely fast, the three of us can not dodge, were stuck, the fat man wanted to use the sapper shovel to block, but could not imagine sapper shovel was also entangled in the spider, fat man couldn’t pinpoint, sapper shovel off the hand to the ground, and would like to bend over to pick up! He tried to bend down to pick it up, but his body was stuck and he couldn’t move.

If the body wearing clothes would be better, naked by the spider silk sticky, a moment can not get out, the three do a pile, was slowly dragged into the triangular hole.

I expected correctly, that hole is definitely the lair of the spiders “black”, I do not know how many inside, is a large, or a number of half-large, no matter how many spiders, as long as we are dragged into the hole, there is no good.

Thick and sticky spider silk more and more tightly wound, seven or eight twisted into one, the hole in the “black quail” also continued to spray out the spider silk, it seems not to wait to enter the hole, we are going to be wrapped up in adult meat dumplings.

I panicked and remembered that I was still holding a lighter in my hand, and hurriedly flicked the flint, and used the flame of the lighter to burn the spider silk wrapped around my body. God bless us, we should not be killed, thanks to this “black quail” spider silk does not want to ordinary spider silk with fire resistance, and burned off two or three of them in a moment, and my body, although still full of sticky viscous threads. Although my body was still covered with sticky threads, I was already out of the control of the dragging force of the spider threads.

In just a few seconds, Dajinya and Fatty were dragged one meter towards the cave entrance, if I wanted to continue to use the lighter to burn off the spider’s silk to save the others, I was afraid that I would only be able to save one person, but not the other one.

In my haste, I yanked down Dajinya’s pants. Dajinya’s belt had been dragged off when we were chasing him, and his pants were so worn that his buttocks were exposed, and he tore off half of his pants when he yanked them.

I used his pants to block the hole, and then use a lighter to light the pants, want to burn off all the spider silk twisted into a large strand, but I can’t imagine that the pants just a few sparks, the whole triangle of the cave, it burned up at the same time, and the fire is getting bigger and bigger and more and more prosperous.

In an instant, the whole cave was brightly lit by the flames, and the spider silk ejected from the cave entrance was burned off, I quickly dragged Dajinya and Fatty backward, and each of the three of them took action to shake off the spider silk on their bodies.

At this time it seems like half of the cave was set on fire, burning in the fire issued a pizzicato sound, it was only then that I could see clearly, it turned out that the triangular-shaped cave, is an artificial building, completely constructed of wood, probably in order to maintain the degree of sturdiness of the wood, mixed with things such as turpentine tallow, coated in the wood.

This wooden building, about the size of seven or eight private houses, do not know built here is for what purpose, the wood built around the building, are a set of “black quail” sucked dry corpses, human and all kinds of animals, by the “black quail” sucked all the water in the body, which is equivalent to the body of the “black quail”. All the water in the body, equivalent to the body to do a dehydration treatment, although the outside of those corpses by the “black quail” wrapped in spider silk, you can still see their face painfully twisted expression, are maintained in life by the slow torture of the tragic death.

As the wood burned and collapsed, I saw three huge fireballs writhing and struggling in the fire, after a while they slowly did not move, I do not know whether they were burned to death or smashed to death by the collapsing wood and stone, gradually turning into charcoal.

I and fat man big gold teeth three people shocked, want to run far away, but the feet do not listen to the command, so I had to sit down on the ground, see the fire, they can not help but look at each other, this big wood and stone building is a what is the place? How come the “black quail” took this place as their lair?

Fatty suddenly pointed at the fire and said to Dajinya and me, “Old Hu, Lao Jin, you two look at that, there is a human face.”

Dajinya and I searched for the place that Fatty said to look, and sure enough, in the fire there was a huge human face, which was several times larger than the face formed by the pattern on the back of the “Black Mistletoe”, and even larger than the face carved on the stone coffin.

This face in the fire is reflected by the firelight, making it originally grotesque expression added a few points of mystery, this huge face is located in the middle of the building, with the surrounding was burned down, from which exposed, it turned out to be a huge bronze tripod, tripod cast with an odd human face.

Fatty asked me, “Old Hu, is this also part of that Donkey Day’s Ghost Mound?”

I shook my head and said to Fatty, “It shouldn’t be, it may be that the ancient people worshiped this cruel human-faced black quail as the incarnation of God, and purposely built such a temple at their lair to pay tribute, and at that time, they took the people not as human beings, and probably took many slaves, and gave these black quails a tooth-sacrifice. Today we have smashed their lair, it is also considered to do justice for heaven.”

That Western Zhou’s Ghost Tomb was more than likely somehow connected to this altar that was tributed with a human-faced tripod.

It was possible that after that ancient tomb of the Western Zhou Dynasty was destroyed, it was preserved due to the fact that it was located deep in a cave and was extremely hidden. But all of these things have already become the dust of history, and I’m afraid that only those who have studied the history of the Western Zhou Breakdown know more or less about it.

I said to the fat man: “Now let’s not discuss these useless things, you have no injury, the two of us put the big gold teeth back up, as soon as possible to leave this place, maybe there is still not dead black quail, if the attack over, we are now left with pants, simply can not deal with.”

The fat man said, “Wouldn’t it be a pity to leave now, when the fire is out, think of a way to get that bronze tripod out, this thing to be able to move back to Beijing, it is estimated to be able to change a few buildings.” After saying this, he pushed Dajinya: “Old Jin, how is it? Have you slowed down?”

Dajinya even with shock, and was hit by the mountain rocks a number of times, staring blankly at the fire froze, was pushed by the fat man two pushes, only to come back to God and said, “ah also, the fat master, Master Hu, I can not imagine that our brothers three, and then …… Yin world will meet again, this… . where is this place? Have we crossed the Naihe Bridge now?”

Fatty said to Dajinya, “Are you confused? This is not dead yet, can not die will have to continue to live and suffer, but I tell you a good news, we are rich, in front of that temple there is a bronze sphinx tripod …… Aiyo, this thing does not burn paste, right?” Finished standing up, want to walk to the near to see.

I lie on the ground to the fat man called out, “I say you can not stop for a while, now even clothes are not, bare ass still thinking about that pair of scrap metal.”

Fatty two eyes glowing, to my words turned a deaf ear, but the fire is very strong, walked forward a few steps, can not stand the scorching breath, had to retreat back, a foot stepped on a set of “black quail” sucked on the body of the dead, foothold unsteady, fell squarely, pounced on the dry corpse.

Dry corpse do not know how long has been dead, open the black hole of the mouth, the position of the eyes only two black holes, the fat man pounced on the dry corpse, just and dry corpse face to face, spare him the courage, but also scared lightly, let out a cry, hands propped up on the dry corpse, want to struggle to get up.

The fat man’s hands and feet intended to push the dry body away, but inadvertently from the dry body’s neck to pull down a thing, the fat man felt in the hands of one more thing, they raised up to watch, and found that the object like an animal’s paw, in the firelight bright crystal, black transparent, underneath the inlaid with a circle of gold wire, the fat man turned his head to me and said: “Old Hu, you see this is not touching the gold talisman. ” Said and touched on the dead man, “Hey, there is a big bag of good things ……”
