Strongest Guard - C1484 End of Corridor
C1484 End of Corridor
As long as Lee Nanfang could control the last shred of clarity in his heart, he could successfully reject Duan Linghsing.
When he smelled the faint sweet fragrance, he immediately realized that this fragrance was most likely due to the reverence of the snake spirit on the sea serpent. He did not want to go with the flow and did not want to do anything with Duan Linghsing.
However, Duan Linghsing, who was burned by the fire, couldn’t even cry anymore. She could only throw herself on Lee Nanfang’s back, hoping that she could get what she wanted.
She was confused by the fever.
It was only then that she couldn’t tell that she was on Lee Nanfang’s back. Even if it was by this time tomorrow, she wouldn’t be able to get it.
Let her go.
Sigh.
Lee Nanfang sighed softly in his heart. He bit the tip of his tongue again and used the pain to make himself more awake. Then, he reached out his hand to take the rope from Duan Linghsing’s waist.
The pistol, the water splitter, the military knife, the powerful light flashlight, and the rope with the buckle were all operational equipment that the National Security had logged off for Lee Nanfang and his partner.
Aside from the rope at Duan Linghsing’s waist, everything else was missing from her body.
With a few soft sounds, Lee Nanfang used the rope to wrap Duan Linghsing, who was on his back, around his body. With a “kacha” sound, he locked the lock.
“Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, love me, love me …”
Duan Linghsing didn’t know that she had been tied to Lee Nanfang’s back and was groaning unconsciously.
This sound was very intoxicating and troublesome.
Lee Nanfang couldn’t guarantee anything. He was carrying her on his back as he climbed up. No one else could hear her voice.
What if the great serpent heard it?
Lee Nanfang shivered when he thought of the monster that was as thick as a bucket and pouncing down with its bloody mouth wide open.
Lee Nanfang pulled down the sleeve of his left arm, then stuffed it into Duan Linghsing’s mouth.
Unexpectedly, Duan Linghsing didn’t even notice as she lay on his back, trembling violently.
If she could, she would scream.
This was because she had already boarded a roller coaster and was whizzing down from the highest point.
Then, her head fell on Lee Nanfang’s shoulder and she stopped moving.
Obviously, she had fainted.
The effect of the snake essence was indeed overbearing!
That’s good, Lee Nanfang didn’t have to worry about her making any movements for the time being.
“What’s up there?”
Lee Nanfang took a deep breath and looked up. He slowly opened his mouth and bit the flashlight. The tip of his foot touched the ground.
What was up there?
When Lee Nanfang asked this question, Shen Yun also asked herself a similar question: “What’s next?”
How long had she been here?
She couldn’t remember.
There was no time, no one to talk to her, just a cold iron door and a well-furnished corridor behind it.
The ground was paved with pure Black Jade, each piece a meter square.
Although the quality of Black Jade was not that high, it was still big.
To cover this thirty meter long, three meter wide corridor, how many large Black Jade would they need to excavate?
Even Shen Yun suspected that all the Black Jade of this level in the world were gathered here.
Next to the one-meter-tall wall dress in the corridor was a high-quality white jade.
At the top of the skirt was a gold belt that was about three centimeters wide.
It really was made of gold.
A thirty meter gold belt, if tied down and put together, would at least weigh more than ten kilograms.
The walls were also tiled, and every three meters there was a mural.
These murals were naturally made when the ceramic tiles were being burned.
There were a total of twenty murals on two walls.
From the first mural on the left, even a fool could tell that the first mural on the right was telling a story.
In the first set of frescoes, only three people could be seen. Judging from their appearance, they were most likely from ancient times. These three people were a husband and wife, and their son.
The clothes the three of them were wearing were all patched up. This proved that their living conditions were not good.
The three of them had worried looks on their faces as well.
In the second mural, a man was lying on a bed while a woman was sitting on the edge of the bed with a medicine bowl. Their son was carrying a bow, a basket and a pickaxe on his back as he walked towards the door.
It was obvious that the man was ill, that his wife was taking care of him at home, and that his son was going out to gather herbs and hunt.
In the third set of frescoes, his son found a cave deep within a mountain.
After seeing the frescoes, Shen Yun knew what story they were about.
This ancient story was the history of Han City.
It was rumored that a certain generation ancestor of the Shen Family had fled to the side of the Han City, established his home in the midst of chaos and disorder.
Very coincidentally, a certain ancestor of the Shen Family discovered a black hole with a diameter of three to four meters in a certain cave.
The black hole went straight up and down. No one knew how deep it was or what was down there.
This was because the cave was filled with a white mist that could not be dispersed.
There should be water down there.
When the faint sound of flowing water could be heard from the white mist, it caused the Shen Family Ancestor to clearly hear things.
There seemed to be some kind of strange and mysterious sound coming out from the black hole.
It sounded like the cries of a donkey or a dragon.
As for what it was, the Shen Family Ancestor obviously did not know.
He was very afraid.
After sticking his head out for a while, he wanted to leave.
But just as he was about to leave, he felt exhausted and fell asleep on the ground beside the black hole.
While he was unconscious, the Shen Family ancestor was in a trance, feeling as if something was crawling onto his body.
It was wet and slippery.
Just like a snake, or a skinned meat.
Even though he was in a trance, the Shen Family Ancestor was also very scared, and only wanted to wake up or let out a terrifying scream.
But he could do nothing.
He could only quietly allow that thing to swim around in his body.
And then he dreamed.
He dreamt that there was a beautiful woman in a phoenix robe dancing by the side of a small stream, like a fairy flying through the clouds of heaven.
Around the goddess, there were countless people kneeling and worshipping her.
There were six people closest to her.
The ancestor of Shen Family was one of these six people.
After the song ended, the goddess flew away with the wind, leaving behind the disappointed and dejected people on the ground.
and the six black Iron Plate s on the ground —
After an unknown period of time, the Shen Family ancestor woke up.
The black hole was still there.
The white mist in the cave was still there.
The sound of flowing water, a certain sound of hallucinations, they were all there.
As for the thing that climbed on his body while the Shen Family Ancestor was unconscious, it was no longer there.
However, he left a black Iron Plate by the entrance of the cave.
The Shen Family Ancestor did not dare to touch that thing.
The only thing he could do was to get up in panic, grab the torch and escape to the ground. Then, he returned home.
Because of being a foreigner and being poorer than the natives, it was almost impossible for a son to find a woman.
Of course he wasn’t willing to give up, he only hoped that he could find a random woman to pass down the legacy of Shen Family to her.
However, his son’s marriage also changed after he came out of the cave.
He came across the Princess by chance when he went to the city to sell game.
Princess Mo Yu’s love for him at first sight was inexplicable, and she had to marry him.
From then on, Shen Family rose up into the sky from a bullied outsider to become a noble.
Later on, the Princess gave birth to two sons for the Shen Family Ancestors.
After the princess died, Shen Family’s son went to the side of the black hole once again.
After he returned to the underground city, his grandfather did not tell Shen Yun what he encountered.
Because only the Patriarch himself was qualified to know about this.
However, her grandfather had told Shen Yun that after the princess had died, the Sovereign King, who had lost his daughter, had reluctantly agreed to let her bury the princess’ body in the place the Shen Family thought was the most sacred place due to the painful begging of the Shen Family’s ancestors.
The day when the princess died was the third day of the third month of the third lunar month.
In order to be grateful to the princess for the great kindness she had shown to the Shen Family, every single Patriarch of the later generations of the Shen Family had to go and pay respects to her in the underground city and the black hole in the Room Seven on the third day of the third month.
And after the direct descendant of Shen Family returned to heaven, they would be dressed in the most extravagant and solemn clothes, and thrown into the black hole.
The ancestor who changed the fate of Shen Family only said before his death that there was a dragon hidden within the black hole — hence the mountain was called Dragon-hiding Mountain.
The small courtyard above the Dragon-hiding Mountain was called the Dragon-hiding Villa.
The fact that the fate of Shen Family could be changed was all because his son had once been in love with a dragon when he had fainted near a black hole.
The dragon under the Dragon-hiding Mountain had an indescribable great kindness towards the Shen Family.
In order to repay the dragon for the great kindness he had shown his Shen Family, Shen Family decided that every twelve years, they would pay tribute to a living person.
This person could be a man or a woman, but they must be the direct descendants of Shen Family.
This has been the case for thousands of years.
No one among the descendants of Shen Family had ever dared to try to resist.
The last mural Shen Yun saw was of a descendant of the Shen Family who was sent to pay respects to a divine dragon every twelve years, reverently standing next to a black hole, waiting to be devoured by the divine dragon.
On the left side of the black hole, there was a small platform.
On the high platform, there was a delicate wooden frame.
There was a silver tray on the wooden shelf.
On the silver plate covered with golden silk, there was a black Iron Plate.
That piece of Iron Plate was something that the Shen Family ancestor obtained when he returned the black hole and divine dragon.
For thousands of years, Iron Plate had been worshiped here, illuminated by the never-extinguishing torches.
A pitch black divine dragon with a long horn on its head and eyes like a light bulb flew out from the black hole. It opened its bloody mouth wide at the ‘offering’ that was kneeling on the ground.
Shen Yun dared to swear again.
For thousands of years, every twelve years, a disciple of Shen Family must have been sent here.
But she didn’t dare be at all sure that when the divine dragon pounced out of the black hole, the Shen Family disciples who were about to be eaten, would still be able to remain as calm and pious as they were painted on the wall.
It would be like her, filled with endless fear, eager to escape.
But, in all these thousands of years, who could escape?
No one.
Shen Yun’s fate could only be eaten alive by the divine dragon, just like countless ancestors who had sacrificed themselves.
Her only hope was that the legendary dragon simply didn’t exist.
Dragons were the totems of the Chinese people. How could they exist in reality?
Shen Yun had wanted to go down and have a look more than once during the days she’d been locked up.
Even more so, he wanted to take a look at the Shen Family’s sacred object — that piece of Iron Plate.
But she didn’t dare.
She could only curl up at the end of the corridor and look towards the direction of the sky ditch, wondering what was down there.
“Aoouuu ~ ~ ~”
A sound seemed to have come from the sky ditch, waking Shen Yun, who had just closed her eyes.
