The Walk on The Edge of The Abyss

Chapter 26: Tiandaoyuan Gelong

Views:

Four foxes were holding a rope and were taken to the sky by the rope. After a while, they fell on the cliff, and saw that one side of the cliff was as steep as a blade, and the other side was a gentle slope with gurgling streams running down the slope.

At the foot of the mountain, this small stream merges with streams from other peaks and becomes a river, flowing from west to east towards the valley.

Su Yun hadn't been here, didn't dare to move, and even said, "What did you see? What did you see?"

He has never been here before.

For the blind, every blind person has a map in his mind. Only the area of his life is illuminated on this map, and other places are dark and chaotic.

The terrain of the Burial Long Mausoleum is steep and difficult to climb. Su Yun came here for the first time. It is obviously autumn afternoon and it is still early. However, in his mind, the surroundings are dark and full of unknowns.

He opened his eyes desperately, but he could see nothing.

He could only feel as if a prehistoric beast was crawling in this unknown darkness, hideous and terrifying.

He was terrified and asked several times, but no one around him answered him.

Su Yun asked several times again, and after a while, Hua Fox was the first to recover and muttered: "Xiao Yun, we saw a dragon... There really is a dragon here!"

Hearing his voice, Su Yun's heart settled down.

The flower fox described the geography of the buried dragon mausoleum in detail, and helped Su Yun quickly construct the geography of the buried dragon mausoleum in his mind. The other fox demon listened quietly, without interrupting. If Huahu missed something, Hu Buping couldn't help but add a few words.

This is a habit cultivated for many years.

Since Huahu and Su Yun became classmates, most of the geography near Tianmen Town was told by Huahu to Su Yun, and then took him through it. Only then did Su Yun know the surrounding geography and would not lose his way.

They have the best friendship.

One person and one fox said and listened to each other. Soon Su Yun figured out the general geography of the buried dragon mausoleum, and the geographic map in his mind had a rough outline.

There is indeed a dragon in the Dragon Burial Mausoleum. Just now, he sensed that a giant beast was crawling in the dark, and he did not feel wrong.

This dragon burial mausoleum is worthy of its name. There is a dragon buried here, but there is also a place where the dragon burial mausoleum is not worthy of its name, because there is no dragon tomb here.

Tomb of the Long Burial is a long soil slope, two or three feet high, about a hundred feet long, and covered with trees and thorns.

The dragon that fell from the sky that year climbed here from Fallen Dragon Valley and died of serious injuries. The nearby residents should have buried him hastily without building a mausoleum for him.

After an unknown period of weathering, the dragon's bones were exposed from the slope, and more of them were exposed.

Especially the dragon's skull, almost completely exposed outside, is very large, and even trees that can only be hugged by two people grow in the eye sockets of the skull.

Although the trees buried in the Long Mausoleum are densely forested, it is strange that there are no birds or beasts here, and not even a single insect can be seen!

Walking here, it gives people a feeling of fluffy heart, as if there is some fierce wild beast rushing out at any time to break their stomachs.

"There is a house next to the Burial Dragon Tomb."

Huahu continued to describe the scenery of the Burial Long Tomb, saying: "The house is a wood and stone building, two buildings with seven rooms, three with one on the east side of the Burial Long Tomb, and four on the west side. The house should have been abandoned for a long time. Broken, the wood is almost corroded. There are still some stone monuments on the mountain, and there are all surrounding mountains, and some stone monuments have fallen down."

"Thank you Brother Hua."

Su Yun constructed the shape of these seven houses in his mind, and said sideways: "Why are there houses in this place where there is little people?"

Flower Fox is also quite puzzled: "Don't say that it is inaccessible, you can't even see the traces of the beast. This dragon has only bones left, and its aura is very fierce. Why would anyone choose to live here?"

Su Yun's heart moved slightly. It is impossible for this dead dragon to be buried next to someone else's village, so the house could only be built later.

There is only one possibility for building near the Burial Dragon Tomb, except for guarding the tomb.

"Someone wants to steal the dragon corpse. But the dragon corpse is too big, they won't be able to dig it out for a while, so they built a house here."

Su Yun thought: "People nearby have no relatives with this dragon. Naturally, it is impossible to guard the mausoleum for him. Therefore, they can only come for the dragon corpse."

The fox said quickly: "The dragon's bones are clearly here, why didn't they steal it?"

"It may be that it is too big for them to move. It may also be that they suddenly died while digging up the dragon corpse."

Huahu thought: "After all, the Lord said, the spirit of the dragon flew out and rescued the whole village to eat. After the dragon died, most of his spirit still guarded his corpse."

Su Yun nodded, Huahu's guess is very reasonable.

They cautiously walked down the hillside to the Tomb of the Dragon Burial. Su Yun followed the flower fox cautiously, and stepped as calmly as possible, saying: "Let’s not try to dig out the dragon bones, nor take anything away. Let’s only go to those houses. Take a look inside. I heard from Mr. Shui Jing that the spirits of some strong men turn into ghosts and gods, which are very vicious. However, ghosts are afraid of the sun and will not appear during the day. Therefore, before the sun sets, we must leave!"

The four demon foxes glanced at each other, Qingqiuyue and Li Xiaofan hurried to plug the uneven mouth of the fox, the fox groaned a few times, and said in their hearts: "The ghosts and gods of Tianmen Town are more fierce than dragons, and they will appear even during the day!"

One person and four foxes came to the Tomb of Funeral Dragon and entered the first house.

This house has four rooms, scattered on the ground, there are scattered bones and clothes left behind after the clothes were decayed into ashes.

Su Yun squatted down and fumbled for a while, pondering: "From the state of falling down, they should have suddenly encountered an unexpected change and hurriedly fled from the house. However, the things that chased them were too fast, and they still Before they had time to escape from the house, they each died."

The flower fox also found out: "Their ribs and spine are broken, and the cut surface is cut obliquely. It should be cut from their back with extremely sharp weapons. There are three such weapons, and at the same time Cut it down, the wounds are almost parallel. This person was cut into four sections..."

Su Yun touched it for a while and said, "There is no such weapon, it's the wound cut by the claw."

Huahu smiled and said: "Xiaoyun, how can a monster with extremely sharp and big claws appear in the house with these people? Although this house is big, it can't hold such a behemoth at all! Unless..."

"Unless there is no entity."

Su Yun said: "The spirit has no substance. If it's a dragon claw, then it's possible."

Huahu frowned and said: "Let's go and have a look in the house!"

What makes them wonder is that this room is full of bookcases with messy pens, inks, papers and inkstones. It is not like a room for tomb robbers, but like a room for a great scholar who is full of poetry and books!

It is a pity that the pens here have rotted, and the paper has long since turned into mud.

"They didn't come to steal the dragon corpse!"

Su Yun suddenly said: "They are scholars of knowledge!"

Huahu was stunned and woke up: "Yes! When Mr. Shui Jing taught us the crocodile dragon, he took us to the crocodile dragon pond to observe the crocodile dragon, observe the shape, habits, and behavior of the crocodile dragon, and use the transformation of the furnace to remind us. Use your own vitality and blood to simulate the crocodile dragon and visualize the crocodile dragon with self-awareness. Mr. Shui Jing said that this is called knowledge of things. Through observation and experiment, the essence of things and the principles of things are studied to gain knowledge."

The other three little foxes also heard the lecture of Mr. Shui Jing, and suddenly recalled.

Qingqiuyue quickly said: "Mr. Shui Jing said that when the government officials with financial resources are learning some kind of magical powers, they will organize scholars to find the beasts to visualize and observe and study. Could it be that scholars come to observe this? A dragon?"

Li Xiaofan looked at the bones all over the floor and frowned, "They are from Shuofang City? How could they die here?"

Su Yun found a jade medallion under the rotting clothes, and there were words on the jade medallion. He fumbled it carefully and said, "They come from an official school called Tiandao Academy."

The fox demons leaned forward, and saw that although there was mud on the jade plate, it was white and flawless and not infested. It was obviously carved from a valuable jade.

The front of the jade plate has the three characters "Tiandaoyuan", surrounded by clouds and thunder textures, and the back is carved with a half-opened scroll, which is very beautiful.

"There is an official school named Tiandaoyuan in Shuofang City? The name is very atmospheric."

Huahu said: "The quality of the jade brand is good, maybe you can sell it for a few five baht, and find a few more! We will definitely need to use money when we enter the city in the future!

The fox demons searched around and found a few more jade tiles, all of them from the Tiandao Academy, but they were all damaged. Only the one that Su Yun found was intact.

They didn't find anything else, so they left here and went to the second house.

The house is on the other side of the dragon's tail, and the two houses, one at the end, should be responsible for observing the different directions of the dragon.

And hundreds of steps to Dragon Tail is a sunken valley, Huahu looked closely, and saw huge scratches on the two walls of the valley!

Every scratch went deep into the stone wall for a long time, and it was several feet long. The stone seemed to be cut by the sharpest knife, shocking.

They guessed right, the dragon that fell from the sky fell into the Fallen Dragon Valley, struggled all the way with the last strength, climbed here, and then suffocated.

"What made such a dragon wound and die here?" Hua Fox murmured.

They came to the second house and were about to walk in. Suddenly they saw a man in black limping towards the front, and the four foxes screamed in unison, each making a defensive posture.

"Senior Snake."

Su Yun's heart moved slightly, and he bowed and said, "Senior invited us to the ceremony last night. The younger generations have watched for a long time and have gained a lot. Thank you, seniors for taking care of it."

Hua Fox was taken aback and whispered: "Xiaoyun, you mean he eats the whole village? How did he change his appearance?"
