Chapter Ninety-Two: The Stone Statue

"Third uncle, it's in this place, you see.***" Zhang Niu came up with the third uncle in a blink of an eye, pointing to the depression in front of him.

The third uncle, who was standing on the edge of the hollow, bowed his head and said nothing, frowning: "This hollow, was it originally like this?" Then he looked up at the long recess.

Zhang Niu didn't understand what the Third Uncle Guild asked, so he nodded: "No, it wasn't all so deep yesterday, and half of the stone tablet was revealed when I came in the morning." ”

Touching his chin and white beard, he said, "Impossible, impossible." "It's just these two sentences over and over again.

This made Zhang Niu a little depressed. Why did these three uncles have these two sentences in their mouths. Now there was only yellow dirt in the hollow, and the water had flowed into the hole.

After a few trips back and forth. The third uncle still couldn't figure it out. This place is located on the edge of a mountain forest, and the terrain is not a legendary feng shui treasure land, it looks a bit like the dangerous place introduced in the book.

After looking at it for a long time, the more the third uncle wondered in his heart, the more this place looked less like a tomb.

After thinking for a long time, he said, "This is a good tomb, but this place seems to be a dangerous place mentioned in the book, and the details can only be known when you go in and see it." ”

Zhang Niu heard a lot of news in these words, this place is undoubtedly an ancient tomb, but looking at the third uncle's expression seems a little unnatural, is this place what they said is dangerous?

"Third uncle, what do you say about this ancient tomb?" Now the ancient tomb has to let the third uncle see the meaning.

"Let's go back and talk about it." When he came up, the third uncle felt a little tired.

Back to the bamboo pavilion. Liang Shan brought a pot of freshly brewed beauty tea.

"Third uncle, try this freshly brewed beauty tea." Place the teapot on the bamboo table.

Seeing this, Zhang Niu hurriedly opened a glass. Pour it for the third uncle.

"Fragrant, this year's beauty tea is good." Pick up the teacup in front of your nose and sniff it.

"This tea was bought on the side of the tea mountain, and it was fried at home, but the frying technique is not good."

The third uncle was a little surprised when he heard it, "No wonder, I just drank it and felt a little burnt." ”

Zhang Niu didn't like this tea very much. It's better to drink tea than a bottle of Coke.

"Why don't you come some?" Seeing that Zhang Niu who was sitting down didn't drink tea, the third uncle asked casually.

"I don't like to drink this very much, it's a waste of good tea." Zhang Niu said with a smile.

"What you say makes sense, you are still in the frizzy period when you are young, and you have to be in a peaceful state of mind to experience nature when you drink tea." The third uncle's opening is a big truth.

This is really in line with Zhang Niu's current situation.

After Zhang Niu heard this, he picked up the teapot and helped the third uncle fill it.

"I don't know what to think of the ancient tomb just now." Zhang Niu is still very concerned about this.

"Tombs? You are now in the tomb. Liang Shan on the side shouted, and the news was very surprising.

Originally, Zhang Niu didn't want to hide it from Liangshan, "Yes, the stone tablet I carried in the morning is the inscription tablet." ”

Liang Shan remembered the stone monument stained with yellow mud in the morning, at first Liang Shan thought it was a mountain and forest boundary monument or something, and Liang Shan still had a boundary monument as a small stool in his own house.

"Then do we have to inform the cultural relics bureau of the county seat?" Zhang Niu still knows a little about the third uncle's thoughts.

Waving his hand, the third uncle smiled and said, "No, this is not a big ancient tomb, if it is a royal tomb, then we really have to report, now it is the patriarch's cemetery, it is estimated that they are too lazy to come." ”

"Then, shall we bury it back, or ......" Zhang Niu asked a little embarrassed.

"If you want to see it, just say it, why bother twisting and pinching like this." came down with the stele early in the morning, and the third uncle knew what Zhang Niu's idea was.

"Well, isn't that just talking." Zhang Niu actually wanted to go in and see what the ancient tomb was.

"Don't talk about you, even think about my old bones." took a sip of tea and continued, "Since you didn't dig it out, but exposed it yourself, then let's go and see it this time, and also go back and forth to archaeology." ”

Zhang Niu looked at the third uncle's joyful expression, and thought that he would report it first, but he didn't expect to dig it out first and take a look.

"When will you start digging then?" asked hurriedly.

"Don't worry, your ancient tomb has just come out. The earth qi in the ground for hundreds of years should be released first, and then you will dig the hole and dig it up to let the air flow inside. ”

"Yes, got it."

"In the afternoon, you go to the village chief's house and ask him to bring some people up tomorrow morning." commanded.

In the afternoon, he sent the third uncle back, and Zhang Niu ran to the village chief's house.

As soon as I arrived at the door, I saw the village chief who had just come back outside: "You are calling that back." ”

"Is there anything wrong with coming back from a meeting in town?" The village chief, carrying a black briefcase, asked.

"Well, something's wrong."

"Come into the house and talk about it." Open the door and take Zhang Niu into the house.

"Third Uncle asked you to call someone to me tomorrow." Zhang Niu sat down and opened the conversation directly.

"The third uncle wants to call someone for help?" It's a bit surprising to this, usually the third uncle doesn't ask for help, and helping is generally not a trivial matter.

"Er, it's the wasteland of my family's backing, there is an ancient tomb and it is from the Tang Dynasty." whispered.

"Ahh The village chief trembled a little as he spoke.

"Otherwise, why would I be waiting for you to come back at the door, the third uncle has been to take a look." Anyone who hears this will be surprised. It was normal for Zhang Niu to be surprised by the village chief.

"Then, does the third uncle plan to report it, or ......" After all, the village chief is the head of a village, and this ancient tomb matter still needs to be asked.

"The ancient tomb is very small, the third uncle means that he is not going to report it, if he opens an empty tomb, isn't it embarrassing?"

This ancient tomb is small, and the village chief didn't pay attention to it, and there are also small tombs nearby that are directly excavated in private. How can you keep the opportunity to dig it?

Since this was what the third uncle meant, the village chief agreed, and asked, "What about the excavation at that time?" ”

"Tomorrow morning, let you call some people in the village, now the entrance of the cave is still ventilated, it will take a night, if you don't know, you can go to the third uncle to ask again."

"No need then, I'll bring someone over early tomorrow morning." Nodding his head in understanding.

After telling the village chief, Zhang Niu got up and went back, ready to dig the hole bigger.

Wait for Zhang Niu to leave. The village chief sat on the chair, still a little puzzled, how the mountains and forests could appear ancient tombs.

In the evening, the long-lost radio in the village sounded.

Under the big camphor tree at the head of the village, the villagers who enjoyed the cool were all talking.

"What do you mean by that, tomorrow morning over the villa." The village's mouthy woman said there.

"That's not for sure, isn't there a villa up there, I guess I'm going to help. Maybe you can get paid. ”

"Didn't that Liangshan in the village just ask the son of the Zhang family to be invited, I heard that the salary is still a lot." The mouthy woman continued to talk.

"If you cook well, his son will invite you up immediately, believe it or not." Wen Ma, who was busy wearing bamboo strips, said with a smile.

The radio in the village gave the villagers more topics to discuss in the evening.

The rooster crows. The morning of the day came.

The villagers whose names were called last night all brought hoes, shovels and other digging tools to Xingxingxiaozhu.

The third uncle and the village chief walked up together, and the two talked and laughed. Many people in the same group asked what they were going up for, and the village chief directly said that he would know if he went up, so don't ask now.

This made everyone a little puzzled. But look at the smiling face of the village chief. Everybody knows it's probably a good thing.

Zhang Niu led them to a depression on the edge of the mountain forest.

"Today, call everyone up, this hollow you see in front of you is about to be excavated." After everyone followed, Zhang Niu spoke.

Everyone looked at the depression full of yellow mud in front of them, and they didn't understand how to dig this place. While they were still wondering.

"Are you still wondering, how to open this land, to be honest, there is an ancient tomb under the depression in front of you." The village chief spoke.

This news made them flutter, the ancient tomb? Could it be that everyone is here to open an ancient tomb? And then everybody was talking in private,

There is no way to do this, sooner or later the excavation will know that it is an ancient tomb, the village chief and the third uncle, they did not intend to hide it, but simply said it.

"Everybody's quiet, everybody's quiet." Seeing everyone talking there, the village chief hurriedly shouted.

When the village chief shouted, everyone stopped. Although the village chief is usually very good at discussing, if there is a real fire, it will be over if you put on small shoes.

"Wait a minute, everyone, just dig this depression down, and then the village will pay for it, which is considered a hard work. And none of us can say what can appear in this ancient tomb, and we may not be able to say if the tomb is empty. ”

The village chief's words were very reasonable. The current tomb does not necessarily contain anything valuable, and it is very likely that the tomb is empty.

In these places in the mountain villages, occasionally there are a lot of rags to come over, and some broken cans and other groceries are collected, and the villagers don't know much about those antiques, and in the end they are all cheap people who collect rags, but the things unearthed from the ancient tombs, everyone knows that they must be antiques.

Zhang Niu is on the side, I can only see who makes him young. This place still speaks by seniority. And I don't understand anything. Last time, if I was greedy and rashly got in, I am afraid that those hundreds of years of earth qi will make it impossible for me to get out.

Fortunately, there are no fruit trees planted in this hollow, and there is a mountain forest next to it. The soil is dug up directly and can be poured on the edge of the mountain forest.

The third uncle sat on the chair brought by Zhang Niu, looking very excited, and there was a great sense of accomplishment when the ancient tomb was excavated in front of him.

The entrance to the cave of the stele slowly expanded. A foul smell wafted out.

Let the villagers digging cover their noses in unison.

"It stinks!"

"Let's all come up and wait, I guess this smell didn't go off yesterday, so let's breathe first." The village chief himself couldn't stand the smell and hurriedly shouted.

Now dig the hole. Looking down from above, there are patches of black inside, and I really can't see anything famous.

Today's weather is not sun, which is a good day for them to dig the soil.

"Zhang Wa, light this and throw it down to see." Hearing the voice, Zhang Niu turned back to the village chief, holding a candle.

Throw the lit candle into the hole. A flash of light still illuminates the situation below. A stone staircase leads down in front of me. There was a square space below, and as soon as I saw this, the candle that had been thrown down suddenly went out.

"Damn, how did you extinguish it so quickly, and you'll be able to see the whole picture in a little while," he scolded at the candle.

"See nothing," shouted the village chief above.

Jumping up the hollow ground, there is a stone staircase below, a square space, and the candle is extinguished just when you want to see it. ”

"Don't worry, just after opening your mouth for a while, the candle will be thrown down, of course it will be extinguished." The third uncle naturally knew in his heart, and this candle was also brought by the third uncle to the village chief.

During the break, the smell was not as strong as it was just now. Everyone continued to dig. A stone staircase gradually appeared in front of everyone, leading to the bottom. A dozen stone stairs are presented in front of everyone.

"Look, there are two more statues below, let's take a look."

As soon as he dug up the stone staircase, Zhang Niu, who had good eyesight, had already seen what was inside and hurriedly shouted.

"Stone statues?" Zhang Niu's shout made the third uncle a little suspicious, how could he see the stone statue just after entering, this is so strange, the third uncle, who is familiar with ancient books, knows a little about the ancient tombs of the Tang Dynasty, could it be that he guessed wrong.

When you walk to the entrance of the cave, you can see the stone staircase covered with dirt below, and the stone statue that Zhang Niu said, but it is pitch black inside, and you can only see vaguely, and two stone statues stand on both sides of a gate.

This made the third uncle's question even greater, the tomb is generally a long corridor leading directly to the main burial room, how can this be.

"Let's continue digging, although we see the stone ladder, but no one dares to go down first, it is too dark for fear of any danger.

Seeing the stone statue inside, everyone was excited, although it looked blurry. Still, it lifted their spirits.

"Third uncle, what do you think of that stone statue?" The village chief also looked at it, but he couldn't see anything famous.

The third uncle touched his beard and smiled, "This place, even I am confused now." A burial chamber will not be like this, but you still have to dig it to know, and when the soil on it is dug poorly, it is estimated that you will be able to see it more clearly. ”

"Oh, that's right." But I'm afraid I won't be able to clear this hollow for a while.

The third uncle sat on the chair and continued to ponder.

The hole slowly widened. Half a large depression has now been dug up. The light refracted into it allows everyone to see the two stone statues inside,

A stone statue in the left hand holds an ancient Fang Tian painting halberd in both hands.

A stone statue in the right hand stands a jet-black iron rod with sharp horn thorns protruding from it, which is the mace.

The two stone statues have a very vicious expression. The eyes that opened alone made the hairs stand on end.

People outside couldn't help but be a little frightened when they saw it, but they didn't expect that the two stone statues in front of them could make people feel scared.

"Ancient painters are amazing. Just by looking at me, you can feel scared, and it's amazing. The third uncle looked at the stone statue and nodded from time to time.

Everyone is not as knowledgeable as the third uncle, but they still think that this stone statue feels more real than the statue of the god in the temple outside the village.

If you are rich, it is estimated that these two stone statues can be sold for a lot of money.

"This stone statue is probably the meaning of the goalkeeper. One side of the sky, one side of the wolf's teeth, you can see this ancient tomb. It doesn't seem simple. The third uncle, who stood up, said with a bang on his back.

"Tea is coming. Let's come up and rest first. ”

Liangshan in the distance came in with a stream of boiling water. For them who have just dug the soil. Just to quench your thirst.

Everyone excavated a lot of soil, just enough to rest, this digging is a hard work, this is also when Zhang Niu ordered Liangshan to burn, fortunately today is not a hot day.

The third uncle still drinks the beauty mountain tea, and the village chief and the third uncle will drink it here, and others scoop up the boiling water and gurgle a few bowls under the stomach.

Zhang Niu was also busy digging there, which was considered a contribution.

"Third uncle, you said this place, could it be an ancient cellar?" The villagers began to ask.

"It's hard to say, everyone can see the two stone statues in front of the stone gate, if it were a cellar, it would be impossible to place these stone statues." The third uncle simply answered the villagers' questions,

"Could that be the Chamber of Rebellion?" Soon there were new problems.

Looking at the stone statue in front of him, he shook his head, "Impossible, if it is a rebellious secret room, then there is no need to bury this stone tablet on it, and the inscription engraved on it." This place is undoubtedly an ancient tomb, but there is a way inside. You can only know if you go inside. ”

After the break, everyone continued to dig out the still small amount of soil.

The earth was dug up, and the square underneath was placed in front of everyone. In the simple square room, there are only two stone statues, standing on either side of the stone door. The yellow muddy water is estimated to be knee-deep, and it must have seeped down from the rain a few days ago.

A few bold villagers began to cautiously step into the water.

"Below is flat ground, paved with stones." The people who went down quickly shouted.

"Then be careful, don't be in too much of a hurry." The tomb is full of dangers.

Walk a few meters in the water. Nothing happened. Zhang Niu, who was standing on it, put their hearts down.

In the square room, take a turn, after nothing else. Everyone started to walk down. Look at what's in the water. It's a pity that I walked all over the square and didn't even catch a broken bowl.

Seeing that everyone below was fine, the third uncle also walked down slowly. Stand in front of the stone door.

The stone gate in front of me is not a whole boulder, but is divided into two boulders and put together. Fang Tian is engraved on the left side, and mace is engraved on the right. Due to the passage of time, these two things can be seen vaguely on the stone door.

"Is there a connection between the pattern on the stone door and the stone statue in front of it?" The third uncle pondered in his heart.

Zhang Niu stood in front of the stone statue and silently looked at the Fang Tian painting halberd in the stone statue's hand. The weapon in the hand of this stone statue made Zhang Niu feel as if it was specially made, and he couldn't help but touch it gently, revealing coldness.

"Third uncle, come and see, the weapon in the hand of this stone statue is made of iron." Zhang Niu, who encountered the cold feeling, hurriedly shouted.

"What. Ferric. ”

These words made everyone gather around, and some people even flicked them lightly with their hands, making a dinging sound.

The third uncle also stood in front of him and stared at it.

I don't know who shook Fang Tian's halberd vigorously, and it was a hoop. The half of the door engraved with Fang Tian took the initiative to open.

"The door opened."

Now everyone knows that these two stone statues are the keys to open the stone door.

Fang Tian corresponds to Fang Tian. The mace corresponds to the mace, and it seems that this ancient man will really correspond.

Open stone door. The cold yin qi blew out, and the water rushed inside.

The passage with no end in sight, the stone statue in front of the door, seems to make this ancient tomb a little different, is this the tomb leading to the patriarch?

Today's update arrived, and it was a bit late to change it several times. Let's count the votes.
