The Strange Inn Chapter 12 Enter the Palace
The dense forest that the old hunter was referring to had no end in sight. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 The info forest is particularly spectacular under the illumination of Yangguan, and Uncle Monkey and I came to that forest along the trail.
After I walked in, I realized that the trees in this forest were all very thick, and the chubby waist circumference was nothing compared to the diameter of the big tree. And judging by the thickness of the bark of these trees, this must be a primeval forest. I've only seen a primeval forest on TV when I've grown so big, and today is the first time I've seen such a large piece of primeval forest.
"Uncle Monkey, this is a primeval forest." I stroked the bark of the tree, and then said with some excitement, "It's amazing, since the reform and opening up, like this primeval forest is really magnificent."
Uncle Monkey sneered, and said as he walked deeper into the woods, "Don't be so happy, stinky boy, there are many terrible things in the primeval forest that you haven't seen yet, bears, wolves, these are enough to cure your life."
Uncle Monkey's words really scared me, although I am now in my twenties, but I have always been around Uncle Monkey, and I have never been to such a far place, let alone come to the primeval forest to meet wolves and bears. If I can meet them, it will be considered lucky, at least let me see what they look like.
In the deeper part of the forest, I would see small squirrel snakes and other small animals from time to time, and I would let out a cry of amazement when I saw them. As I walked, I asked Uncle Monkey in front of me, what kind of tree is this? What kind of tree is that? What kind of flower is this? What kind of grass is that?
My inquiry gave Uncle Monkey a headache, and he yelled angrily, "Stinky boy, can you stop doing so much, I didn't let you come with me to enjoy the scenery."
Uncle Monkey circled around a few ancient trees, and then looked around, looking up at the sky from time to time. But no matter how much I asked, he ignored me. I could only follow him back and forth in the forest.
Actually, I'm very puzzled, I didn't come here to find the wolf master, although I know that he may be here, but it is not easy to find someone in this big forest.
I followed Uncle Monkey all the way to the depths of the forest along the rugged and difficult road, and I didn't find a single figure for most of the day. "No more...... Uncle Monkey...... I just can't walk." I stopped and leaned on a big tree, panting.
Uncle Monkey looked at the road ahead, then looked back at me, hesitated for a moment before saying, "Okay, let's take a break." Uncle Monkey sat down slowly against a big tree. He pulled out a bottle of mineral water from his backpack and threw it at me.
I took the mineral water, drank a few sips frantically, and then wiped the water stains from the corners of my mouth and asked, "Uncle Monkey, what are we looking for, if we are really looking for the guy called Lord Wolf, we should shout loudly, so blindly looking for when it is a head." I smiled and looked at Uncle Monkey, "I said.... Aren't you always looking for ...... Tomb bar"?
"What do you stinky boy know"? Uncle Monkey said solemnly, "The trees here are lush, and the terrain is much higher than other places. Since the wolf lord came to this forest, he must be looking for the ancient tomb, as long as we find the ancient tomb, we can find the wolf master, do you understand? And the stinky boy must be polite when he sees the wolf master, don't offend him, otherwise I won't be able to save you."
Uncle Monkey's words made me even more curious to see what this wolf master looked like, I have been with Uncle Monkey for so many years, and it can be said that I am an uncle and nephew who depend on each other. From what he said just now, it can be heard that Uncle Monkey respects this wolf master very much, and even has a trace of fear. I've never seen Uncle Monkey treat a person with such respect.
I put the mineral water aside, and then asked with a smile, "Uncle Monkey, tell me about this wolf master again, you seem to respect him very much." And he is a grandfather's son, how can you be an uncle's son. He can't be your distant relative's uncle."
There was a hint of sarcasm in my words, and Uncle Monkey was of course a little angry when he heard me say this, and he swallowed. looked at me and said loudly, "Stinky boy, I have an extraordinary relationship with Lord Wolf. Do you remember that one of the many ancient books I asked you to read recorded the story of the Wolf Gate and the Tiger Gate, do you remember?"
I nodded vigorously, I remembered the ancient books that Uncle Monkey asked me to read, what tomb robbery legends, what ancient tomb ruins, and what the struggle between the wolf gate and the tiger gate. It was really like a world war, especially the struggle between the Wolf Gate and the Tiger Gate was fierce, I remember that it was written in the book that since the people of the Tiger Gate became officials, the people of the Wolf Gate were forbidden to dig ancient tombs in the territory under their jurisdiction, so the relationship between the Wolf Gate and the Tiger Gate was like an enemy. It's just that I don't know what Uncle Monkey means when he says that the relationship between the wolf master and him is extraordinary.
I asked, "Uncle Monkey, I know that the relationship between the Wolf Gate and the Tiger Gate is very stiff, so why do you say that the relationship between you and the Wolf Master is extraordinary."
Uncle Monkey fixed his mind and said, "The Wolf Gate and the Tiger Gate are divided into three sects, the world is known as the Wolf Three Sects and the Tiger Three Sects, the Wolf Three Sects and the Tiger Three Sects, no matter how old we are, we are all called the Wolf Lord and the Tiger Lord, your father is the Great Sect Tiger Master, and Xiao Yao's father is the second sect, and I am the third sect." Now you know who this wolf master is."
Listening to Uncle Monkey say this, I just understood a little, it turned out that the people of Humen and Wolf Gate still have such a ranking, according to what he said, this wolf master is a big sect of the wolf gate, but I didn't expect my father to be a big sect of the Tiger Gate, looking at his elegant appearance, I thought my father was just a small minion of the Tiger Gate, but I didn't expect it to be a big boss.
We were worried about time, so we didn't have a long break before we got up and walked back. After walking for nearly ten minutes, we came to an open field, and there were no weeds or plants growing on this open field. It's weird. There is a one-meter-high mound in the middle of the boundary.
Uncle Monkey circled around the high mound of dirt, then squatted down, grabbed a handful of dirt, rubbed it in his hands, and said, "This is it."
"This ......"? I couldn't believe it, and pointed to the mound, "Uncle Monkey, this place is strange, it's strange, but it's not like there's really an ancient tomb." I looked around, although this place did not have any plants, but it was not much different from other places, this was not at all the same as I imagined, I imagined that the ancient tombs should be buried in luxurious lots, as for how luxurious I can't say, but it shouldn't be in such a place full of mounds.
Uncle Monkey replied, "Stinky boy, what do you know about acupuncture, that is, to look at Mingtang from afar, and look at the body closely, if there is a star peak inside, it must be noble, and if there is a star peak outside, it will be a star." Look at Longhu Mountain and the mountain protection. This forest is surrounded by mountains on the left and right, it is a treasure land of feng shui, and then look at the tall mound in the center of this terrain called the round mound, if you build a tomb under it, it will definitely be noble, rich and rich, and the descendants will be crowned princes and marquis." Uncle Monkey looked around, "Go and find it, there must be a thief hole dug by the wolf master around here."
Uncle Monkey showed me so many ancient books on tomb robbery and ancient books on feng shui, but I didn't understand a word of what Uncle Monkey said just now.
I followed Uncle Monkey's instructions and began to look around. If it's really as Uncle Monkey said, is the relationship between him and the wolf lord not ordinary, just make a phone call, and go so far to come to Mongolia to find it. It's really Alzheimer's.
I searched desperately around the area, and I was about to turn over the ground, but I still didn't find the thief hole that Uncle Monkey said. Just as I was about to take a break, I heard Uncle Monkey's shout.
Following the source of the sound, I ran over. I saw Uncle Monkey squatting in a bush in the southeast, and there was a cave with a diameter of less than one meter not far in front of Uncle Monkey. There was some dirt piled up next to the cave, and it looked like the cave had just been dug up.
"Stinky boy, what are you doing, don't take out the tools yet". Uncle Monkey looked at me and said.
"Take it out"? I looked at Uncle Monkey in disbelief and said, "Uncle Monkey, let's go down to find him, it's better to wait for him to come out at the entrance of this cave, this is called waiting for the rabbit."
"Is your kid's head broken?" Uncle Monkey was a little speechless, he frowned and stared at me and said, "I have shown you so many books in vain, he can go out by digging a thief hole after stealing the things inside, are you going to wait here until you die"?
I took off my backpack from my back and squatted on the ground and said, "Can reading the same as practice, Zhao Kuo of Zhao Guo has read a lot more books than me, isn't it still on paper, besides, I don't know what is in it, in case there is a wild monster ghost mechanism, we only take such a small thing into it, isn't it certain that we will die"?
"I said stinky boy, why do you talk so much, isn't there still mine"?
Seeing Uncle Monkey say this, if I don't go down, Uncle Monkey will definitely eat me. I pulled out a headlamp, a flashlight, a dagger, and a few other things from my backpack.
Uncle Monkey used the small shovel taken out of his backpack to dig the thief hole again, Uncle Monkey worked very hard and also had some difficulty, I really don't know how the old man named Wolf Ye dug such a big thief hole.
After Uncle Monkey dealt with it, he put the shovel in his backpack and took a flashlight to shine inside the hole, trying to determine the situation inside. I poked my head out and followed the light to look into the cave, it was so dark that I couldn't see anything inside, only the dark stone path.
Uncle Monkey put away the flashlight, turned on the headlamp and said to me, "Stinky boy, I'll go in first, you follow me closely after you go in, don't talk loudly." After saying that, Uncle Monkey jumped in conveniently.
I hesitated for a moment, thinking that I would die. From the time Uncle Monkey showed me those books of yours, I knew that I would have this day. Gritting my teeth, I slowly slipped in.
When I went in, I realized that the cave was not pitch black, and a damp smell rushed into my nose. I sneezed hard and looked around. It's very narrow, and it looks like it's inside the corridor, but I don't know which part of the tomb is.
I asked Uncle Monkey where we were, and Uncle Monkey told me that this should be in the corridor leading to the tomb, and as long as we continue to walk forward, we should be able to find Lord Wolf.
If you come, you will be safe, and I will be forced to have no choice but to follow Uncle Monkey along the road. I don't know where this road leads, and I don't know what will happen in a while, for me who went to the grave for the first time, this is undoubtedly risking my life to play games with Uncle Monkey. I followed Uncle Monkey closely, and sometimes I didn't forget to glance behind me, in those thriller movies, the general evil ghost jumped out from behind the person and then came with a fatal blow, if a monster jumped out of my back at this time, I must not even know how to die.
The road is very long, I don't know how long we walked and we came to the end of the road, it was a small stone room, and the broken candles in the stone pillars on both sides of the stone room had been lit. There are some patterns carved on the stone walls on both sides that I can't understand, although I can't understand them, but I have also seen them from those ancient books, and these patterns seem to be carved by ancient people to record the life of the tomb owner.
There is a sarcophagus coffin in the center of the stone chamber. The lid of the coffin was pried open. In the other corner of the chamber there was a half-open stone door, which seemed to be the innermost passage.
The first time I entered the tomb and saw the scene in this ancient tomb, I was already dumbfounded. I thought that Uncle Monkey would pay attention to the coffin first, after all, I still understand how greedy he is. But it was beyond my expectations. Instead, he took a flashlight and walked to the stone wall carved with the regiment and observed.
I walked up to him and asked suspiciously, "Uncle Monkey, it's strange that you don't even pay attention to whether there are treasures in that coffin." I smiled, "That's weird."
"What do you know, stinky boy". Uncle Monkey replied while observing the pattern on the stone wall, "The coffin was obviously pried open by the wolf master, if there was really a treasure inside, it would have been swept away by him a long time ago, haven't you heard the saying that thieves don't go empty?"
Uncle Monkey's words made me feel very reasonable, I looked at the pattern on the stone wall and asked, "Uncle Monkey, what is there on it?"
Uncle Monkey thought for a while and said, "This is a general's ancient tomb." Uncle Monkey pointed to a corner of the stone wall, where there was a line of font that I couldn't read: "You see, the time engraved on this is 119 BC, that is, the fourth year of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, as for the meaning of this stone wall, it is the situation of the general's conquest on the battlefield, the first painting means that the Mobei general was given an official position in the yurt, and the second painting means that the general led the army against the Han army and killed the enemy on the battlefield." After Uncle Monkey finished speaking, he came to the stone wall on the other side, and there were two paintings on it: "This one is that this general resisted the attack of the Han army, and the Khan at that time personally celebrated the general's achievements." And this fourth picture is the meaning of the general living in peace at home."
