Chapter 56: Deafness
The nose ring is made of gold, and when people see it, they will have a desire for it, and once this desire is born, it will be like Bajian, and they will reach out and want to get it. The person who designed this mechanism www.biquge.info pen ~ fun ~ pavilion took advantage of this psychology of people, and hid different punishment methods in the mouth and eyes of the stone statue, such as the flying needle just now, and fire. We found fire oil in the mouth of a stone statue, which was definitely an ingenious design, the wisdom of the ancients, in order to avoid the infestation of the invading people, they really took great pains.
I asked the ancestor: "Boss Feng, what period is this thing, why is it so scary and grotesque?"
The old ancestor pondered for a moment, imagined a possibility, and said, "How many stone statues do you count?"
I nodded, starting from the stone statue I first encountered, a total of eighteen, and the old ancestor said in a deep voice: "Sure enough......"
The library master listened to the words of the old ancestor, his face changed slightly, and I asked the old ancestor what is the special significance of these eighteen stone statues?
The old ancestor said: "I can't be sure when this thing is, but I have heard people say before that the Western Regions royal family will use a kind of array to prevent tomb diggers, this kind of array is composed of eighteen stone statues, and their bodies have various mechanisms, poisons, poisonous insects, flying rays, and even mist......"
Hearing this, I was shocked, everyone looked at the old ancestor, and the old ancestor said: "That is to say, before we entered this place, someone pulled off the nose ring, this person may be a Montenegrin soldier, or it may be Brother Liu...... If Brother Liu smoked fog, then he could still live, if it was something else, it might not be. ”
I shook my head and said, "No, I just checked, there is no corpse of his here, and there is no corpse of a camel, the treasure must have passed this period, and he must have drawn a foggy stone statue." ”
The Old Ancestor nodded and said, "It's very likely, he shouldn't be far away from us, maybe it's around here." ”
The little Taoist priest frowned and said: "How come, the people of Loulan will not choose their burial place here, they generally choose the cemetery in the northeastern suburbs of the ancient city, on the top of the wind-eroded soil layer, it should not be in such a vast forest, this is not common sense." ”
Analyzing the historical scales, in fact, I think the same as him, the "Xiaohe Cemetery" and the "Sun Cemetery" that the world is currently familiar with are all in weathered and dry places, and no cemetery will choose to be in the forest, which is not in line with the Loulan people's choice of the netherworld.
The ancestor said: "It's hard to say, when Loulan had a small population and was not familiar with the outside world, they were originally herding and fishing, and when they came into contact with the Central Plains culture, they also began to build houses in the fields." The structure of their house incorporates the ideas of the Central Plains people, and it is possible to imitate the burial method.
Besides, didn't the Guxi gang find the treasure back then? They must have also thought that the burial place was under ......the yellow sand," the old ancestor said, but for some reason, I couldn't hear what he was saying, I could only see his mouth constantly moving.
I was confused, and at this time, Wang Bajian shook his head and patted his ears, obviously he couldn't hear the sound like me. In this case, I suddenly became deaf, as if I was locked in a soundproof room, looking at my companion through the glass, I don't know why, very helpless.
I shouted in panic: "It's over, what's the matter? I'm deaf, I can't hear, I can't hear what you're saying?"
I took a deep breath and tried to control my restlessness, his mouth moving, but it was so hard that I had no idea what he was talking about. He looked at us with a confused expression, pointed to his ear, and then said a few words simply, which I read carefully this time, and what he said was: "Fog - there is - question - question!"
After reading this sentence, I was shocked, and thought of a possibility, if Bao Cai drew a stone statue that could spray, then he might not hear the movement of us coming here, that is to say, he must be hiding helplessly and frightened somewhere now, or that he is in danger as he walks further and further, because Luo Cang said just now: "All are dead!" That guy must have seen something terrible, and he would go crazy.
In the case of not hearing, we gathered together as a team, the ancestor took the lead, led us through the stone statue, thinking of the danger that had been encountered in the tomb of Princess Chu, I am particularly sensitive to the word "ancient tomb", I hope this place will not be like the tomb of Qi Ling is full of crises, I hope we don't go to the ground, we can find the treasure in the forest quickly,.
After bypassing the eighteen stone statues, the trees became very strange, except for the torsos that were completely blackened like the trees in front of them, their bodies had a kind of raised black spots, it was a bit like the shell of a mud snail, dense, and a little disgusting to look at.
I don't know if it's because my ears can't hear or if it's the reality, it's quiet, and there are almost no other insects or animals except trees and birds. In the books I used to read, in the oases of the desert, there were tigers and other beasts, but we had been in the woods for so long that there was not even a single poisonous snake.
My throat began to dry a little, if it weren't for the treasure in it, no matter how many valuable artifacts it had in the tomb, I wouldn't want it, I just wanted a simple place, drink a little wine, do nothing, and sleep for a few days and nights.
The trunk of this piece of the tree has no leaves, the branches are twisted, and a bright moon above is coldly sprinkled from the cracks in the branches, hitting the dark roots, and soon, we see that next to the black roots with bumps, something squirms and crawls out, its face is shrouded in a layer of shadows, and its eyes can only see the whites of its cold gray eyes, it is a person!
My hands and feet instantly felt numb, because it was especially frightening to see a man crawling out like a terrible ghost when I couldn't hear it. But this face is a little familiar, as if I have seen it somewhere.
I wondered in my heart, he climbed very slowly, like the female ghost going down the stairs in "The Grudge", the big guy couldn't see clearly, he could only approach with a torch, after slowly illuminating his face, Lishana covered her mouth and suddenly ran forward, we were also surprised, because this bloody person is You Chi, since he stabbed himself twice, we haven't seen him again, I heard the Kushi say, Turan in order for him to be able to solve the poison of the grass head sacrifice, in advance to find someone to send him to the holy spring, Lishana said that the holy spring is in Loulan City, so why is You Chi here? Could it be that he also met a human-faced hairy ghost halfway through?
A lot of questions were stirred in my heart, and I was too tired to say by lip talk, You Chi kept moving his mouth, wanting to say something, but his Chinese was not standard, and we looked at him anxiously at the moment, and Lisana was even more teary-eyed. Unexpectedly, in addition to the treasures, the first few people from Dunhuang gathered together again, this time, a poisonous snake changed sex, and one was already injured to the point that only one breath remained.
When the little Taoist priest carried You Chi forward, You Chi, who was almost unconscious, like Luo Cang, suddenly went crazy, he kept shaking his body, constantly slapping the little Taoist priest, signaling him to stop, which made me wonder, what is in front of me?
If I carry You Chi on my back now, I will definitely feel embarrassed because of his sudden madness, but fortunately, the little Taoist priest is naturally cold-faced, and he doesn't care, he put You Chi down, and then directly stunned him.
This situation is also a helpless move, although we can't hear it for the time being, but we can still see the ancestors smack a few times. At this moment, Bajian noticed something, he crouched down and pointed to the ground.
We looked down and saw that there were obvious footprints on the slightly moist soil, the footprints were very messy and eager, and the most important thing was that these footprints belonged to our camels, and the other was the footprints of people, which were judged by the ancestors to be the size of the treasure feet, and the eight lambs of the king did not kill the eighteen stone statues.
Thinking about this, we excitedly followed the footprints, and at this moment, I noticed a small fluorescent insect flying out of the tree, and my first reaction was a firefly, so I didn't care. (To be continued.) )
