Meng Zitao hurriedly ran to the side of the army and asked loudly with concern, "The army, are you okay?"

Dajun raised his hand and shook it, rested for a while, he slowly propped himself up, sat on the ground, shook his head, and looked uncomfortable. ○

Seeing this, Meng Zitao was somewhat worried, and asked, "How is it?"

Dajun smiled and said, "It's okay, there are some hearing problems for the time being." ”

"That's good. Mencius relieved his heart, and then, he looked forward, only to see that the ground was in a mess, all kinds of weapons were scattered, and many of them had been torn apart. This made him very distressed, and he couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth: "Made, that kid is so decisive!"

After speaking, Meng Zitao hurriedly looked at the altar, but fortunately, the phoenix bird artifact on the altar was not damaged: "It's okay, it's okay, otherwise, the damage will be great." ”

The army stood up and looked forward: "It's a pity, there is another person who should have been run away by him." ”

Meng Zitao then remembered, he didn't see clearly at that time, and there was another person who didn't know where to go, so he asked excitedly: "Is there really a passage to the outside?"

The army pointed to a hole not far ahead, and said, "Most likely, that person ran out of that hole just now." ”

"Let's go over and take a look. ”

The other party is in a gang with the killer, of course Meng Zitao doesn't want the other party to run away like this, besides, he is also very curious about how the other party got the clue to the treasure.

The two ran over, and when they walked to the cave, they found that there was a stone door three or four meters inside the cave. The door was closed again.

The two of them walked into the cave, and as with the main gate at the beginning, they easily found the mechanism to open the stone door, and as before leaving, there were several ways to open the mechanism, one of which was a mold mark. It looks the same as the residual jade that Meng Zitao got later.

Meng Zitao put the remnant jade in, and the reaction was the same as before, the army stepped forward and pushed the stone gate open, and suddenly a humid air blew over.

Meng Zitao sniffed: "Dajun, have you smelled anything?"

The army frowned and said, "It's the smell of blood, a very strong smell of blood." ”

"Is there still a mechanism here?" Meng Zitao's face changed.

"I'm not sure, I'll take a look. ”

The army went alone to investigate, and after a while, they let Meng Zitao pass.

Meng Zitao walked over quickly. After walking for a while, he saw the army, and then, he was stunned by the qiē in front of him, and immediately retched.

It turned out that the ground in front of him was a mess, and the stumps and internal organs were scattered all over the ground, as if they had been dismembered by some wild beast. For the faint of heart, it is estimated that they will be stupefied at a glance.

Meng Zitao tried to calm the discomfort in his heart. Then he asked, "What the hell is going on!"

The army shook his head: "I don't know, it's like a beast, but this thing doesn't seem to be something that a beast can use." ”

Meng Zitao saw that Dajun pointed to a broken wooden stick on the ground, and because he couldn't see it clearly, he walked over and found that this wooden stick still had traces of polishing. If it were just a beast, it would obviously be impossible to use such a stick.

Moreover, the length of this stick is not short, and it is unlikely that this person will be able to do so.

I heard Dajun continue: "But if it's just a human being, it's not normal to have so much strength. ”

That's why he said that. It's because judging from the current scene, it's obviously torn and photographed, and under normal circumstances, only beasts do this.

"Man-made beasts?" Meng Zitao frowned and thought for a moment, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind: "Let's go, let's go out of the cave and have a look." ”

Mencius walked out of the cave in a hurry, first taking a deep breath of fresh air outside the cave, and a sense of pleasure arose.

"Comfortable!" Meng Zitao sighed, and then with the help of the light, he looked for traces.

In fact, the traces are very easy to find, and there are several very eye-catching large footprints at their feet.

"Savage?!" Seeing the abnormal footprint size, Meng Zitao and the army glanced at each other, and immediately made a decision.

Meng Zitao squatted down, measured the size of the footprints with his hands, and exclaimed: "I didn't expect that there are really savages." ”

The army said: "It's really hard to say whether it's a savage or not, after all, we haven't seen it with our own eyes, right?"

Meng Zitao said: "If it is not a savage, what is it, and it can't be said to be an orangutan? Or do you know the inside story, because of confidentiality, you deliberately said so?"

The army shook his head: "Isn't that three hundred taels of silver here?"

"Anyway, I don't have the qualifications to know the secrets. Meng Zitao shrugged his shoulders, stood up and looked in the direction where the unknown creature had left: "It's a pity that it's dark now, otherwise I would definitely have to chase after it." ”

The army asked, "What's next?"

"What else can I do, take the satellite phone to notify the master to deal with it, hey, I knew this earlier, I wouldn't have come. ”

Meng Zitao was somewhat helpless, originally, he thought that there would be any treasures here, but now the treasures do have them, but the key is that these treasures are not something he can handle, after all, he is not one of those soils, he can do anything. As for the night pearl on the top of the cave, he couldn't go up and get it without tools.

It's really depressing to think that I have paid so much and encountered these dangers, except for sweeping away the hidden dangers of the killer, I have not gained much at all.

The two returned to the cave, and the army went to ask for help with a satellite phone, while Meng Zitao was very curious about what was on the altar and wanted to go over and study it.

Walking under the altar, the things on the altar are already very clear in the eyes of Meng Zitao, it is clearly a bronze phoenix bird of nearly two meters, and the shape of the phoenix bird is very in line with the style of the Jin period.

Speaking of which, the reason why the phoenix bird is placed on the altar is actually very normal, as mentioned earlier, Tang Shuyu is a child of the Zhou family who is rooted in Miao Hong, and the Zhou people have a phoenix bird complex, and the allusion of "Phoenix Ming Qishan" is even more well-known.

Legend has it that the ancestor of the Zhou Dynasty was named Houji, and his mother's name was Jiang Yan. Jiang Yan stepped on the footprints of the giant. The birth of a boy, the tribe thought it was a bad omen, decided to abandon the child, just when the boy was shivering in the wild, a flock of phoenix birds flew in the air, with their wings to warm the child. Jiang Yan thinks that this son has divine help. decided to raise him as an adult, because he was an outcast, so he was named abandoned. Although it is a legend, the ancients believed that without the phoenix, there would be no Zhou people.

It is precisely because Tang Shuyu is a child of the Zhou family that it will inevitably affect the aesthetics of the Jin Kingdom, for example, the Jin bronzes are formed on the basis of the bronzes of the Zhou Yuan and the cultural connotation of the region. Its form is inextricably linked with the Zongzhou culture.

During the Western Zhou Dynasty, the Jin Kingdom has always been under the strong influence of bronze art in the Zhou Yuan region, and did not form its own unique system, maintaining a state of wait-and-see and subordination, reflecting the relatively stable centralized rule of the Western Zhou royal family.

In the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, three-dimensional bird bronzes with innovative spirit emerged in the Jin Kingdom, with heavy shapes and fierce expressions. The ornamentation is free and unrestrained, and the exquisite design level and casting technology have pushed the Jin Kingdom bird modeling art to the extreme.

And the bronze phoenix bird on the altar. It is a typical aesthetic style of the Jin Kingdom, which is in line with Mencius Tao's previous speculation.

However, this bronze phoenix bird is too big, more than three meters high, more than five meters long, and its eyes are condensed. Raise your head to the sky, majestic, and want to fly high and raise your head to the sky.

When Meng Zitao stood under the altar, there was a majestic momentum rushing towards him, and the higher he went. The more coercion it brought him.

"Is this a delusion?" Meng Zitao couldn't understand this, how could it be that it was just a dead thing, which would bring him such a heavy coercion. However, although he couldn't figure it out, it also stimulated his competitive spirit, and he forced himself to walk towards the altar.

But when Meng Zitao gritted his teeth and walked fifty centimeters closer to the phoenix bird, he couldn't walk anymore, and even his whole body was sweating because of this huge coercion, and his whole body was soaked.

Now this point is something that Meng Zitao didn't expect at all, and even if his body is already inhuman, he can't support it.

Meng Zitao knew that he couldn't last much time, but he didn't want to go back empty-handed, so he immediately used his ability, and the result was greatly beyond his expectations.

The phoenix bird's aura, as if it was a stormy wave, rushed towards Meng Zitao, instantly surrounding him and wanting to squeeze into his body.

That feeling, for example, seems to be in the deep sea, the huge pressure can squeeze people in minutes, the pain is really unimaginable, Meng Zitao's expression is hideous, I want to faint, or simply die.

But just like absorbing the aura from the Yuehua Pearl, in this process, Meng Zitao was very sober, and he couldn't faint even if he wanted to, so he could only grit his teeth and persist.

This process took longer than the time it took to absorb the aura of Yuehuazhu at the beginning, and Meng Zitao felt that he was about to collapse, and suddenly felt light, and the whole person immediately fell on the altar, gasping for breath.

The weak state came and went quickly, but after a minute or two, Meng Zitao felt that he was full of strength, but his body was very sticky and uncomfortable, it was estimated that it was similar to the time when Yue Huazhu did, and the relationship between the impurities in the body was eliminated, but now it is inconvenient to take a bath, it is too difficult for him.

Meng Zitao got up from the altar and smiled bitterly, he didn't know whether it was luck or misfortune, it was too painful to have to suffer so much every time.

"Huh!"

Meng Zitao sighed, he suddenly felt that he seemed to have some changes, but he couldn't feel what the specific changes were, but he felt that this change was very big, as if he could change his life again.

"What's going on? Is it your own delusion?"

When Meng Zitao was thinking, the army came back: "Meng Shao, I have already contacted Zheng Lao and them, it shouldn't be long before someone comes." ”

"Okay. ”

Meng Zitao nodded and asked, "By the way, Dajun, can the stream at the mouth of the cave be able to bathe now?"

Dajun didn't think much about it, and said, "It's so late, let's talk about it tomorrow." ”

After all, it is a primeval forest, not only wild beasts, but also possible wild people, it is indeed not safe at night, and Meng Zitao does not want to take risks, so he thinks about it for a while or wipe it with water.

Thinking of this, Meng Zitao walked down the altar.

At this time, Dajun noticed that Meng Zitao seemed to have changed a little, and he felt strange in his heart, and asked, "Meng Shao, what's wrong with you?"

Meng Zitao's heart moved. I thought of a reason: "I don't know what happened just now, when I walked up to the altar, I felt a very strong pressure, and then when I walked to the altar, it was gone, but the clothes were wet." ”

The army noticed that Meng Zitao was indeed soaked all over his body, and there was also a pungent smell of sweat on his body. However, he didn't care about this, and hurriedly looked at Meng Zitao carefully.

Finding that there was no problem, Dajun said with a stern expression: "Meng Shao, you are reckless again, in that situation just now, you should retreat decisively, and you should not go up again." ”

Meng Zitao laughed dryly: "I don't know why, I just didn't consciously want to go up." It's a little scary to think about it now, do you know why?"

Dajun said carefully: "Maybe it's because of the aura." ”

"Aura?"

"Yes, aura. Dajun nodded: "Generally speaking, the existence of any substance is accompanied by an aura, and the nature of the aura is also very different, among which a few auras have a relatively obvious impact on people, and most of the auras have very little impact on people. ”

Meng Zitao said: "You mean to say that I just encountered a very powerful aura. That's why there's that reaction?"

"It's very likely, though," said the army. I don't know much about this, but I don't know if it's or not. ”

Meng Zitao said: "Why do I think what you said is so mysterious?"

Dajun smiled: "What you can't see or touch, of course it's mysterious, anyway, you just need to remember it, in case you encounter the feeling just now next time." You just have to retreat. ”

"Understood. Meng Zitao smiled, and then said with some urgency: "No, I'm going to wipe it, I really can't stand it." ”

Meng Zitao ran back to the cave and cleaned it briefly. The whole person suddenly felt a lot more comfortable, and when he came out, he saw the army eating dry food.

"Where did you get the dry food?" asked Meng Zitao strangely.

"His" army pointed to the corpse not far away.

"You can eat it too. Meng Zitao was a little sick to his stomach.

The army disagreed: "What can't be eaten, I have eaten all the insects." ”

When Meng Zitao heard this, he only felt a burst of pantothenic acid in his stomach, and waved his hand: "Don't say it, I'm going to vomit if I say it again." ”

The army smiled, and then said, "By the way, I just checked the things on that person's body, and I didn't find any useful things or clues other than this map. ”

Meng Zitao took a look at it by the light and found that the map was just a simple map, but it depicted the location of the village and the treasure in detail, and the situation inside the treasure was also drawn, including the escape exit.

Meng Zitao frowned, because he found that this map was actually newly drawn, that is, it is very likely that these people got the news from, or simply they were entrusted by others, but if they were entrusted by others, would the other party rest assured?

After all, these people are not like themselves, they will not be moved in the face of the bronze phoenix bird of the national treasure level, as well as the figurines and carriages next to them, and the night pearl on the top. Isn't the other party afraid that these people will meet and get into trouble?

Because there were too few clues, Meng Zitao didn't come up with a cause and effect, and asked again: "By the way, isn't there anything on that guy outside?"

Dajun shook his head: "The backpack on his body is missing, and as for those things, I haven't found them yet." ”

Thinking of the pile of stumps, Meng Zitao hurriedly waved his hand: "Then we still have to wait for professionals to deal with it, as for the backpack, could it be taken by that wild man?"

"Possibly. "Judging from the current situation, the army can only judge in this way.

"Forget it, there are too few clues now, let's wait for the people sent by the master to come. ”

Speaking of this, Meng Zitao looked upward, and then, he suddenly thought of a question: "You said, there should be no light here, so why can these night pearls shine?"

The army was stunned, looked up, and found that there were indeed no holes or anything like that around them, that is, these night pearls may indeed be self-luminous. To be continued.
