I looked at Old Man Ma in amazement, and asked him several times in succession, but found that he was stunned to look at the statue of the beautiful snake god on the altar, and he was dumbfounded, and he didn't hear my question at all.

At that moment, I noticed that Old Man Ma was obviously frightened, and his face was very ugly, I patted his arm and asked, "Why don't you allow my brother to fight the Devil Elephant?" The old man Ma didn't seem to listen to what I said at all, pointed at the statue of the beautiful snake, and said in shock: "This ...... This...... How can you sprinkle the fruit on the table? ”

I told the old man, "This is the so-called authentic shemale...... In our country, we now call her a beautiful snake. Don't worry, old man, this creature is nothing to be afraid of, we grabbed one two days ago, and now it is locked up in the warehouse of the Fort Do. ”

The old man's head immediately spun ninety degrees, stared at my eyes, and said in surprise, "What? You caught one? Alive? The dead fat man smiled and said: "Of course it's alive, if it's dead, you can't say it's caught, you have to say it's killed." The poor old man was about to cry, and muttered, "Impossible, impossible......"

I hurriedly said: "Old man, this thing is naturally true, don't doubt it anymore, if you are interested, you can go to Fule Duo to have a look." Seeing that the old man had finally come to his senses, he asked, "I just heard that there is a magic elephant outside?" Why don't you let my brother get his hands dirty? ”

Ma Changan rubbed his face vigorously and said, "You can't shoot, you can't shoot, the gunshots are too loud, it will attract other demons." Lu Jianhan hurriedly said, "Brother Hua, hurry up." The Golem was about to chase after it. ”

I said "En" and immediately ordered my troops: "Shoko, you go and kill that magic elephant." "We're inside. Only Ou Xiang's big sniper rifle has a silencer, so I will hand over the general secret business to Ou Xiang. Ou Xiang agreed, and walked out of the shrine with a big sniper. I thought about it for a while, and I was afraid that it would not be safe, and then said: "Fatty, you take Zhengyu and Lu Haibao to escort Xiangzi." Don't shoot unless you have to. The dead fat man nodded and led Zheng Yu and Lu Haibao. I hurried out.

I looked at the old man Ma and asked, "Old man, this temple has been here for so long, and you haven't heard the locals talk about it?" Are there any special legends? ”

Old Man Ma shook his head gloomily. said: "I haven't heard of it...... I don't speak Thai well. None of the locals understand Sichuanese, so they rarely communicate. ”

As he spoke, there was a click outside the door, and it seemed that a small tree had been broken in the distance. Immediately afterwards I heard the sound of the "tower" and the faint sound of heavy footsteps, as if some huge animal was running towards us. I pulled out my pistol and said, "Everyone, be careful. Everyone stood in front of the window and looked out.

I saw a huge demon elephant rushing towards us. Ou Xiang has already raised his gun for the second time. It's just that the Golem's physique is too big, although the big head is very easy to fight. But one or two bullets are hard to kill.

At this moment, a slightly tall white elephant appeared out of nowhere, and actually knocked the demon elephant off the runway, and as a result, it broke another small tree.

"It's a white elephant!" R. Yurong almost cheered and said to me eagerly, "The white elephant is a symbol of God...... I didn't expect to meet a real white elephant! ”

Known as the "Kingdom of the White Elephant", Thailand is a country with a long history of Buddhism. Considered to be the embodiment of objects and Buddhas, the white elephant is regarded as a national treasure that symbolizes national prosperity in Thailand. The Thai government stipulates that white elephants are the property of the royal family, and anyone who finds a white elephant must give it to the royal family (for payment). The white elephant lives in the palace and is treated as a sacred animal and is treated very well. In the 15th century, Siam and Burma fought over two white elephants, which showed the importance of white elephants.

The demon elephant that was struck was furious, turned around, and picked the white elephant with its fangs, and picked it right at once. However, the skin of elephants is extremely tough, and the skin is more soft and lying on the body, which is very difficult to bear. Therefore, although the white elephant was stabbed, it was not seriously injured, but the skin was cut.

The white elephant began to fight back, and with a sharp flick of its neck, it "clicked" and broke one of the elephant's tusks. Then he knocked the golem into a row again.

It was a thrilling sight for us onlookers, and it was the first time we saw two animals of this size fighting hand-to-hand, which was really shocking.

However, it was clear that the White Elephant was stronger, and it took steady steps, pressing forward step by step, and finally seized an opportunity to break the other tusks of the Demon.

The Golem without its tusks really looked like a wild boar with a long nose (zhang), which looked quite funny, but after the two teeth of the Golem were broken, the Golem suddenly looked sluggish, and the white elephant did not continue to attack it, but just rolled up the two broken tusks with his nose and threw them away.

It's really a coincidence that the two tusks that were thrown away by the white elephant actually flew close to the demon temple, and smashed on the shoulder of the god statue with a "click", and the mud statue couldn't help beating, and one arm fell to the ground, splashing a cloud of dust and flying.

The elephant stood there without tusks, a large amount of black liquid coming out of the broken tusks, and after a while, we were surprised to find that the elephant's eyes were no longer red. It raised its long trunk and sniffed at the white elephant's side, as if it had regained its senses. The tall white elephant did not attack his opponent again, but also stretched out his long trunk and greeted the opponent very warmly. The two elephants circled each other a few times, and the white elephant suddenly raised its head, opened its mouth, howled loudly, and walked into the depths of the forest. The toothless elephant meekly followed the white elephant and disappeared from our sight.

I was puzzled and asked, "What's going on?" How did the demon elephant regain its true nature? "It stands to reason that it was robbed twice by Shoko, and then it was hit by a white elephant and broke its teeth. It must have been seriously injured, but why didn't it die, but regained its nature?

R. Yurong couldn't answer my question. I had to say: "Maybe the so-called demonized animal is just infected by some kind of virus, it may be that Ou Xiang's bullet destroyed the pituitary gland of the demon elephant, and it may be that the demonized viruses are concentrated in the big tusks of the demon elephant......

As soon as R. Yourong mentioned the broken tooth, it was natural for us to turn our heads to look at the tusk that had broken the idol's arm. Jian Tianhan had already walked over quickly, squatting down to check.

But Jian Tianhan didn't pick up the tusk, he squatted there. He was surprised and said, "Old flower, come and see...... It's an arm bone...... "I hurriedly walked over to take a look, only to see the broken arm of the clay statue fall to the ground. The mud tire shattered and fell apart, revealing a dry arm bone wrapped inside. It's just that those bones don't know how long it has been, and they are not strong at all, and this one fell to the ground. The fall was more fragmented than the mud tires outside.

I was shocked and stunned. Hurriedly stood up, looked carefully at the place where the statue had broken arms, and sure enough, he found that there was a skeleton wrapped in this mud tire!

The dead fat man's mouth opened wide and said in surprise: "How can this be? Could it be that this idol is not a god at all, but a coffin? ”

"Doll, you can't talk nonsense like that." After Ma Changan scolded the dead fat man, he came up. He said with a calm face: "Such a thing of wrapping the outside of the corpse in mud, when I was young. I heard Abba talk about it, he said that in ancient times, before Qin Shi Huang, this practice was popular. Specifically, after killing the person accompanying the burial, wrapping the body in mud, and then placing it in the tomb owner's chamber to make various forms of service. It's just that the ancient tombs of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period are too old to be preserved intact. Second, the burial chamber is very susceptible to moisture, after all, human bones are different from stone and metal, and they can easily decay, leaving only an empty shell. Even if someone found such an ancient tomb, the bodies of those who accompanied the burial would no longer be visible. ”

I pointed to the clay statue in front of me and asked, "So what's going on with this?" If the news is true, then this idol should be a long time ago, at least thousands of years, how can it be so well preserved? ”

Old Man Ma picked up a piece of mud tire scattered on the ground and pinched it hard, but he couldn't break it. He nodded and said, "That's it...... Do you see these mud tires wrapped in bones? This is a locally endemic dye with natural viscosity. It must have been this clay that blocked the combination of the corpse and the air, so that the bones wrapped in the mud tire were preserved proudly and safely...... Hey, it's not safe, the skin and flesh have long turned to ashes. ”

I winked at the dead fat man and said, "Fat man, haven't you been curious about the physiology of the beautiful snake for a long time?" Now is the opportunity for you to look into it. ”

The dead fat man's little eyes suddenly widened, he rolled up his sleeves, pulled out the beauty snake short waist knife, and knocked off the face of the god with his first hands, and sure enough, a complete skeleton was revealed, the dead fat man glanced at it and commented: "It's not good-looking at all, it's far worse than the big zongzi." ”

I hurriedly urged: "Okay, okay, let you do scientific research, and not let you be a judge for the beauty pageant, you don't talk so much nonsense, hurry up and do it." ”

The dead fat man was busy all the way, and began to peel off the mud tires on the front of the shemale statue, so a complete skeleton of a beautiful snake was presented in front of everyone.

I stepped forward and looked closely, and saw that it was a very peculiar skeletal structure, the upper body was the same as the human body, the spine. Cervical spine, ribs, clavicle...... Everything is available, but below the waist has nothing to do with the human body at all, the spine extends downward, and gradually tapering, to the point of the ladyboy's tail, it is finished, in the spine part of this tail, there are dozens of pairs of things similar to ribs, which are also gradually getting smaller, completely in the shape of a snake's tailbone.

The visual impact of such a structure is not great, on the contrary, at a glance, this strange skeleton looks very coordinated, much more beautiful than the big zongzi.

I suddenly said "Huh" and said, "Why does this bone look a bit like ivory?" "It turns out that in the upper right part of the lower abdomen of the shemale bone, there is a very thick bone that looks very incongruous with the bones of the rest of the body. I was stunned for a moment before I realized, "This is not a shemale bone...... It's a tusk! "Stretch out your hand, from the upper right side of the shemale's lower abdomen. He took out the long tusk and said with a smile: "Fatty, no wonder you think she seems to be a pregnant woman." It turned out that there was such a thing in the stomach...... "The tusk was not very long, only less than two feet long, and the sharp part of the ivory actually pierced into the chin. When I took the tusk out, the shemale's skull lost its support and nearly fell off. I realized that this tusk actually pierced the shemale skull from the right lower abdomen. couldn't help but lose his voice and said, "It seems that this shemale died from this tusk." ”

The tusk was not a natural shape at all, it was clearly carefully polished by human hands. Not only is the sharp part in the front very sharp, but the handshake part in the back is also very polished. I took a closer look. It was found that this ivory-sharpened bone knife was also engraved with delicate ripples of water, and three inches above the handshake, there were two symbols. The upper one is in the shape of "work". The symbol below is a little bit more than scratch, and I don't recognize what it is.

I vaguely feel that this thing is probably not so simple, this ivory knife, it is likely that it was the weapon used by the person who slaughtered the demon back then, he chose to start from the right side of the enemy's body, it seems that the fatal point of the beautiful snake clan should be there.

I really couldn't see any other information about this knife, and suddenly it occurred to me that the old man Ma standing next to me was a big expert in antiques, so I handed the ivory knife to the old man Ma. asked, "Old man, look at this ivory knife......

Old man Ma Changan, who was standing next to me, took the short knife. I took a closer look. In fact, it is a short knife, but it is better to say that it is a short spear, and the edge of the knife over there, the blunt cut tofu will not be very neat.

After a while, the old man said solemnly: "Xiaohua, I'm afraid this thing is very big...... Look at the water ripples engraved on the body of this knife, which is a symbol of the god of water, and those two words, if I am not mistaken, should be the two words of co-work...... This...... Isn't this an artifact? ”

Co-work? After listening to these two words, I felt a little familiar, and I didn't remember them for a while, and after being stunned for a while, I suddenly jumped up! I !! grass It can't be true, right?

I quickly took out the book of "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" that I carried with me, and after turning a few pages, I found such a passage: "The wife of Emperor Yan, the son of Chishui, listened to the Yanju and gave birth to Yanju, Yanju gave birth to the festival, and the festival gave birth to the opera, and the opera gave birth to Zhurong, and Zhurong descended to the river, and worked together." In the past, the co-workers and the emperor competed for the emperor, angry and could not touch the mountain, the heavenly pillar was broken, the earth was extinct, the sky was tilted to the northwest, so the sun, moon and stars moved; The land is sinking to the southeast, so the water and dust return. "颛顼 is the son of the Yellow Emperor, and after the death of the Yellow Emperor, 颛顼 inherited the throne.

I remembered, I really remembered, Gonggong is the water god of our country.

The water god Gonggong is a descendant of Emperor Yan, and he has many contradictions with the Yellow Emperor's family. In myths and legends, after Emperor Zhuan took over the ruling power of the universe, he not only did not care about human beings, but also used his power to suppress the gods of other factions, so that the heavens and the earth were full of grievances. Seeing that the time was ripe, the Gonggong gathered the disgruntled gods and resolved to overthrow the rule of the emperor and seize the throne of the gods. The rebellious gods elected Gonggong as the leader of the alliance, formed an army, and raided the heavenly kingdom of Kyoto. When the emperor heard of the change, he lit seventy-two beacon towers and summoned the princes of the Quartet to support quickly; While ordering the soldiers and horses guarding Gyeonggi, he personally took command and went to meet the battle. A fierce battle began, and two groups of men fought from the sky to the mortal realm, and then from the mortal realm to the heavens. A few back and forth, the more and more the emperor's subordinates killed, the humanoid tiger-tailed Taifeng drove ten thousand auspicious lights from Heshan to arrive, the dragon head and the human body of Ji Meng rushed from Guangshan with a gust of wind and rain, and the arrogant insect with two honeycomb heads led the poisonous bee scorpion from Pingfeng Mountain; The more the co-workers killed, the less they killed, the neck of the cabinet was cut to only a layer of skin, the cloak was scattered, and a severed arm was not known where to be lost, and Wang Ziye's hands, feet, head, chest, abdomen, and even teeth were all cut off, and they scattered all to the ground. The co-workers went to the foot of Buzhou Mountain in the northwest, and there were only thirteen horsemen left around them. He raised his eyes and saw that the mountain was strange and abrupt, standing up to the sky and the earth, blocking the way, and he knew that this mountain was actually a giant pillar that supported the sky, and it was one of the main reasons for the emperor to maintain the rule of the universe. Behind him, shouts of killing and persuasion came one after another, and the net of heaven and earth had been laid out. Gonggong let out an angry cry in despair, he roared and desperately crashed towards Buzhou Mountain, only to hear a loud rumbling and banging sound, and the Buzhou Mountain, which was holding the sky and the earth, was broken by his waist and collapsed. Once the pillar was broken, the whole universe underwent a great change: the northwestern celestial dome lost its support and tilted downward, so that the sun, moon and stars tied to the northern zenith could no longer stand in their original positions, and they involuntarily broke free from their shackles and slid towards the low sloping western sky, which made the running line of the sun, moon and stars that we see today, and relieved the people of the hardship suffered at that time that day is always day and night is always night. On the other hand, the huge rope hanging from the southeast corner of the earth was broken by violent vibrations, and the southeast earth collapsed, achieving the high terrain in the northwest and low in the southeast that we see today, and the scene of rivers flowing eastward and rivers returning to the sea.

Legends are just legends after all, and for me, who doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, I don't care about the meaning of myths and legends, I care more about the real history hidden under the cloak of apotheosis.

There were many elephants in ancient China, and the abbreviation of Henan Province refers to a person and an elephant, so it is understandable that they used ivory as a weapon! (To be continued.) )
