Uncle Nine said that the big guy was strange, and Zhou Xiaolong didn't know how to answer, so he was in a hurry, and Uncle Nine just quietly observed the behemoth's every move.

It didn't take long for Uncle Nine to seem to see some doorways, and he told Zhou Xiaolong: "That big toad should be controlled by someone, its movements are not controlled by itself, and ...... I can't see its eyes either......"

This is true, frogs, this kind of animal, the eyes are very prominent, big, round, watery, if the big toad in front of him opened his eyes and stared at Zhou Xiaolong, Zhou Xiaolong would definitely be able to see its pair of big eyes, Zhou Xiaolong felt that the eyes of this big toad must be at least as big as the wheels of a car, but Zhou Xiaolong really didn't see it blink.

Uncle Nine suddenly said, "I have to go in and take a look, you give the torch to Zhou Xiaolong." ”

Zhou Xiaolong said: "Don't, the toad's tongue is ......"

Uncle Nine snatched Zhou Xiaolong's torch and said, "The two of us have been walking around this hole with torches for a long time, if that thing could have noticed us, it would have swept you away with its tongue, as a policeman, you can't be so worried......"

Zhou Xiaolong also had a little truth when he heard what Uncle Nine said, but he still felt that it was very dangerous to go forward and get close to the big guy, but Uncle Nine obviously wouldn't listen to Zhou Xiaolong.

The stubborn Ninth Uncle had already walked towards the dark and dreary thing, Zhou Xiaolong had no choice but to sigh and follow him to take a slow step forward, but Zhou Xiaolong's eyes were firmly fixed on the huge creature, if the thing moved slightly, Zhou Xiaolong immediately pulled the Ninth Uncle to dodge to the side.

Fortunately, the thing seemed to be quite stupid, and it moved very slowly, as if it was sick.

Not long after, Uncle Nine walked to the thrown torch, picked up the torch, turned around and handed it to Zhou Xiaolong, Zhou Xiaolong and Uncle Nine held the torch together, and the fire was much brighter.

As the light of the fire held by Zhou Xiaolong and Uncle Nine approached the huge creature, Zhou Xiaolong also slowly saw some of the characteristics of the huge creature clearly.

That's right, there is a very large toad in front of me, the body proportions are slightly different from the real toad, its body is surprisingly large, its limbs are short, curled up in a ball, as if it cannot move freely.

At this time, Uncle Nine said, "Have you seen it?" ”

Zhou Xiaolong was stunned for a moment and asked, "Ah, I see, such a big toad, can Zhou Xiaolong not see it?" ”

Uncle Nine said: "Zhou Xiaolong refers to the fact that there are also many red silk threads on the toad's body, which seal the toad's legs, feet, eyes and mouth......"

Zhou Xiaolong really didn't notice any red silk threads, because the size of the big toad was huge, and the curry with black skin was rattling, even if there were any threads wrapped around it, he couldn't see it.

Uncle Nine was able to notice so many details, Zhou Xiaolong sighed secretly, Uncle Nine's eyesight was really powerful.

Soon, Zhou Xiaolong thought that he had just found a lot of red threads on the ground, and Zhou Xiaolong asked Uncle Jiu: "You mean, there are many red silk threads around it, which entangle this big monster, that is, fix it here and can't move......"

Before Uncle Nine could answer Zhou Xiaolong, Zhou Xiaolong immediately had a new question, and asked Uncle Nine again, "But, who did it?" Why trap a big toad with a red thread? Is it because the toad harms people, and there are masters who have already taken action to restrain this monster before Zhou Xiaolong? Uncle Nine, are there any masters around here? ”

Uncle Nine smiled coldly and said: "The formation of the Red Line Trapped Beast must be done by a master, but it is really for the people to eliminate harm, then it may not be, perhaps, that person still has his own selfishness and purpose......"

Zhou Xiaolong asked, "Uncle Jiu, have you seen any doorways?" ”

Uncle Nine replied: "The pool that Zhou Xiaolong accidentally fell into just now must have been dug by hand, and someone deliberately introduced the spring water from the mountain into the pool, that is to say, the miners who started work here not long ago did not dig stones, but dug a huge reservoir......

Zhou Xiaolong was puzzled and asked, "What about the reservoir?" Why dig a cistern in the mountains?! ”

Uncle Nine said: "Zhou Xiaolong guessed that it was because there were some things here, a lot of things, that needed to be transported by water, so it was the fastest and safest ......."

Seeing that the big toad would not take the initiative to attack Zhou Xiaolong, Zhou Xiaolong was not so afraid, and asked Uncle Jiu vigorously: What could it be? What could be here?!

Uncle Nine shook his head: "I don't know yet, but I have some guesses, Zhou Xiaolong thinks that this thing should be very valuable, otherwise he wouldn't have invited someone to control this big toad with a lot of twists and turns, do you guess what this big toad is used for?" ”

Recently, tomb robbery has become popular, and Zhou Xiaolong's mind flashed, and he had a speculation, and said to Uncle Jiu: Could it be that this big toad is a tomb beast?!

With the prevalence of online tomb robbing, Zhou Xiaolong also has a hobby of using a mobile phone, and Zhou Xiaolong still has some understanding of tomb robbing, and then, Zhou Xiaolong recalled a lot of introductions to tomb beasts.

The town tomb beast is a custom of ancient Han tombs.

The tomb beast itself is a kind of underworld, the ancient Han people believed that there are all kinds of wild ghosts and evil ghosts in the underworld, which will endanger the ghosts of the deceased, so the purpose of setting up the tomb beast is first to ward off evil spirits, in order to protect the peace of the dead soul.

This kind of utensils, the general appearance is abstract, the concept is strange and peculiar, the image is terrifying and grotesque, has a strong sense of mystery and strong witchcraft mythology, and most of the tomb beasts unearthed so far are cultural relics of the Warring States Period.

Thinking of this, Zhou Xiaolong said to Uncle Jiu: Zhou Xiaolong knows, this big toad is similar to something like a tomb beast, Uncle Jiu, do you mean that?

Uncle Nine smiled and sarcastically said to Zhou Xiaolong: "Hey, you still know that tomb beasts are not simple, but, generally tomb beasts are carved in stone, and it is rare for the dead to use live animals as tomb beasts, the tomb is a place for the dead, and it is always inappropriate to have creatures there, and if in order to prevent tomb robbers, it is enough to build some more hidden weapons......

Zhou Xiaolong interrupted Uncle Nine and said, "You mean, this is not an ancient tomb?" ”

Uncle Nine smiled bitterly and said: "When did Zhou Xiaolong say that this is an ancient tomb, not to mention, the feng shui of this place is not very good, it is not suitable for building a tomb at all, and there is not even a cemetery for ordinary people." ”

Zhou Xiaolong asked, "Then what is this place?!" ”

Uncle Nine paused, and then said: "Zhou Xiaolong, look at it, don't care about this big toad for now, bypass it, let's go inside and take a look, it's not a way to stand here and guess." ”
