Records of the Cattle and Horses of Chang'an

"Come with me, let's go and take a look." It's not a good idea to just stand here and waste time. We have to go and see clearly what is trapping the Dragon God Gu, no matter whether it is a mule or a horse.

Xisi hesitated and wanted to say that he would go by himself, but he didn't dare, so he had to follow Qiqige slowly.

On the other side, Jiang Shangxian saw them moving and couldn't help but worry for them. He took out his dagger and handed it to Cui Bianxu: "That must be Zhao Tuo. If anything happens later, we will help him."

As she spoke, she raised her hand, ready to attack at any time.

Cui Bianxu didn't say much, but turned the dagger in his palm to feel it.

Compared to this, he is more accustomed to swinging a dagger.

Qi Qi Ge did not walk fast. The more critical the moment, the more steady she had to be. It could be said that with every step she took, she had to silently feel the reaction of the Dragon God Gu.

However, something seemed to have gone wrong with the Dragon God Gu. The sensations it could receive were intermittent, and most of them were repeating: trapped, trapped, get out, Layao, I want to go out!

"Qi Qi Ge! Look!" Xi Si lowered his voice and pointed his right index finger at the place where Zhao Tuo's legs were buried, motioning her to look. The surprise in his eyes could not be ignored.

There were more cypress wood and rubble piled up on Qiqige's side, so he couldn't see anything. He had to climb up two steps to get higher, so that he could see clearly what Xisi was talking about.

Zhao Tuo's lower body was found firmly trapped in a large golden rectangular box. The box seemed to be embedded in the ground. The explosion pit was quite large, and the painted coffins and stone coffins were reduced to ruins. However, the large golden box was intact, with only a small part exposed.

Seeing that Zhao Tuo's body had no reaction, she simply climbed up a few more steps, came to the side of the Dragon God Gu and looked into the pit, and finally figured out why the Dragon God Gu said it was trapped.

Besides the snake's head, most of its body is also in the big golden box!

Qi Qi Ge realized that the problem was a bit tricky.

The skill of a witch is to poison people, living things, and all creatures with flesh and blood, but this big golden box is obviously not in this category.

How do you open this thing?

She raised her head and glanced at Zhao Tuo's corpse, which was still standing there with its eyes tightly closed. Its head swayed unconsciously, hitting Zhao Tuo's butt in front of it.

"Qi Qi Ge!"

Xisi's legs felt weak, so he simply squatted down, stretched his neck and called out softly, afraid of disturbing anything: "What should I do?"

This box doesn't even look like there's a crack, how do I open it?

Qi Qige ignored her, picked up a piece of wood and carefully poked it a few times. He found that the thing seemed to be quite heavy. He lowered his head and pondered for a while, then turned around and walked towards the crowd.

Xisi was unwilling to stay there alone, so he quickly ran after him.

Jiang Shangxian and the others didn't know what they were doing. When they saw them coming over, they couldn't help but ask, "What? Are you done?"

Even she felt it was a mystery when she asked this question. That figure was still standing there! The Dragon God Gu was still the powerful number one Gu after all. After hundreds of years, why did it stop making any noise after being put away?

That's impossible. A couple would be furious if they were separated for a few months. How could the Xiou tribe do it so quietly?

Qiqige's expression was solemn, and she found it difficult to speak. However, the matter was of great importance, so she had to speak up. She could only whisper in Jiang Shangxian's ear, "The Dragon God Gu is trapped in a large golden box. The corpse's legs are also in the box. I just tried, but there's not even a crack in the box. I don't know how to open it."

"Tsk..."

Jiang Shangxian's face tightened, and he smacked his lips and said, "That's a bit difficult. What are your plans?"

Since everyone is here, he must have an idea. There is no need to hide it at this point, so he should just say it out loud.

Qiqige glanced at Cui Bianxu secretly, and seeing his ears twitch, he continued with confidence: "Don't you have a weapon here? How about helping me?"

Before Jiang Shangxian could reply, she added, "Didn't you ask me earlier if I had a Gu that could dig holes? The Dragon God Gu would do the trick!"

They were just temporary partners and didn't have much friendship. If he refused to help, how long would it take for her and Xisi to finish digging?

It’s better to have some benefits hanging in front. After the Dragon God Gu escapes, it will be able to escape no matter what. It will use its big head to knock a way out for her!

"this...."

Jiang Shangxian glanced at Xiao Cui and saw him nod imperceptibly. Then he patted his chest and agreed: "Okay, we came in together. If we don't help, who will?"

She scratched her cheek and asked anxiously, "But... that's Zhao Tuo's body, right? He didn't pretend to be dead?"

This time it was Qiqige's turn to pat his chest and assure himself, "No! I just poked it, there's definitely nothing!"

That thing just stood there, not moving!

"Alright! Let's go!"

Jiang Shangxian tightened his belt and encouraged himself: "It's just a box! Open it!"

Although it was just a box, it was obviously not ordinary.

Cui Bianxu personally circled Zhao Tuo's body twice and found that it was truly dead. Then he began to study the battle plan: "This is made of bronze, so there should be cracks."

It’s amazing that the bronze ware can be preserved so well. It’s not easy.

He roughly measured the length of Zhao Tuo's upper body and concluded, "The other half is underneath. We need to dig it out first. The bottom is made of white clay."

This thing is mainly formed by rock weathering or volcanic ash deposition. The ancients used it in tombs mainly to isolate the external environment. This thing is much more difficult to dig than the rocks here. It has high density and high viscosity. It can easily stick to the shovel when digging. It is very difficult and requires water.

But where would his son get so much water? They didn't even have water to drink, and their mouths were dry. Where would they get water to moisten their throats?

There is even less urine. How long has it been since I last drank water?

Where does the urine come from? No matter how many times I dig my crotch, it won’t work!

"Wait a minute!"

Jiang Shangxian stopped them from digging and said, "Come here and stand next to me."

Everyone was confused, but Cui Bianxu stood obediently beside her, and everyone followed suit, even Qiqige and Xisi were not left behind.

Xiao Jiang nodded in satisfaction and said, "Just imitate what I say later. Got it?"

"Yes, madam!"

"kindness."

Jiang Shangxian exhaled, looked up at Zhao Tuo's body, and said seriously, "Junior Jiang Shangxian, the Ninth Lady of the Cui Family, sorry to bother you."

Even Xiao Cui was a little confused by this incoherent talk. Just when he was about to ask what it meant, Xiao Jiang poked his thigh: "Hurry up, it's your turn!"

Cui Bianxu rarely showed such a confused expression. He imitated her in a daze and said, "Junior Cui Yi, Jiulang of the Cui family?"

"Oops! That's not right!"

Jiang Shangxian said unhappily, "Shaoqing of the Dali Temple!"
