Tan Tong immediately asked, "What kind of golden silk jade?" What you said is not clear. ”

"After polishing the jade rough, smearing the outer layer with special gold powder, and then putting it into the stone cover, I know this, the most complicated is how to bond the stone cover with the gold powder, in fact, the lost craft is this method." He Chenxue frowned and said, "Actually, this kind of thing is not valuable, and it can be said that it completely destroys the texture of the jade." ”

Yan Gang asked, "What's the use of that?" ”

"It is a very ancient way of sacrificing, some things are valuable because of the age and its particularity, as well as unique craftsmanship, such as porcelain, to put it bluntly, it is clay, worthless things, but made into porcelain, the value is the process, the same, the same is the same for gold silk jade, the ancients can re-fuse the jade raw materials with gold powder and stone, and then carve them into masks or other things, this process is very remarkable." ”

Samuchuan: "The new Miao people are good at silver inlaid jade, not gold silk jade. ”

Everyone looked back at Samuchuan and asked, "What do you mean?" ”

"In the Miao people, there is a proverb called 'no silver and no flowers are not a girl, and clothes and no silver are not dressed'. In the words I learned in school, this belongs to the 'precious metal culture theory', but the Miao people worship silver, not gold, and the lyrics of an ancient song of the Miao people say, 'What is silver for?' What is the gold used for? The silver is used for collars, and silver is used for silver hats, and gold is used for money, and silver is used for headdresses.'" After Samuchuan finished speaking, he stepped forward to look at the stone face, "Gold jewelry has only been found sporadically in the Miao culture, has not formed a scale, and rarely uses other materials to match with silver as decoration, has always emphasized the concept of silver as beauty, has a unique status, and the new Miao people after integrating into the Miao people, they also naturally accepted this concept, at least I know, they do not advocate gold, so I think there is a problem with this stone face." ”

Tan Tong heard Samuchuan say this, and said proudly: "Did you hear that? This buddy of mine is not only good at martial arts, but also educated! ”

Yan Gang smiled: "Your buddy is your buddy, and it's not you, what are you proud of?" ”

Tan Tong just laughed, and the torture technique nodded and said: "The Miao people advocate silver, I know this, but so far, there is no real exact answer to point out why, I have heard a legend, saying that it is because of the relationship between Chiyou, that it is the tribe of Chiyou that admires the moon, so later the Miao people thought that the sun is golden, and the moon is silver, and over time, silver worship was born, Samuchuan is right, since the new Miao people have integrated into the Miao people, they will naturally not use gold, so how can these masks have gold and jade? ”

He Chenxue thought for a while and said: "I think that we should think about the relationship between the group of people who made the golden silk jade and the new Miao people, as well as the relationship between the new Miao people and the indigenous Miao people. ”

Samuchuan shook his head: "Impossible, all things about the new Miao people are taboo, it can be said that now we can't figure out who is the new Miao people, who is the real indigenous, because no one paid attention to this, and the earliest Miao people did not deliberately exclude outsiders, for the Miao people, they are very clear about the pain of being forced to migrate and flee, so they can accept these foreign refugees, and they will not record, but after a period of integration, the new Miao people have produced their own unique culture and knowledge, So unless you find a real new Miao, I'm afraid no one can figure out why. ”

"Could that man in black have something to do with Xin Miaomin?" Yan Gang looked at the torture technique and asked.

Xingshu shook his head: "I don't know, I don't know anything, but the man in black must know us and be familiar with us, otherwise, he wouldn't have suddenly appeared and suddenly showed us the way, and when we came here, we almost fell into a trap, although I don't know if this is the arrangement of the man in black, but the matter must be related to him." ”

Everyone nodded, and the torture technique arranged: "It's raining outside, it's impossible for us to move forward anymore, let's rest, take turns to be on duty for the night." ”

"I'd like to take some samples and bring them home." He Chenxue turned around and continued to approach the stone face.

Xingshu looked at Samuchuan and motioned to him, "Is it okay to do this?" ”。

Samuchuan shook his head: "I'm not the master here, I can't call the shots, but since the stone surface has been broken, it can't be glued back, it's up to you, if the gods want to condemn it, it can't be reversed now." ”

After Samuchuan finished speaking, he walked to the door, his words made He Chenxue a little nervous, after all, in this kind of place where there are cemeteries on all sides, even an atheist would feel cold.

The torture technique nodded at He Chenxue and shook her hand, and He Chenxue turned around to continue the matter at hand.

……

On the other side of the woods, Sheng Zitai and the three of them, who were in the rain and fog of the tomb, moved forward with difficulty, although Xu Cai's attack did not make them really injured, but it made them understand that this place was full of killing machines, and the Xu brothers would not let them go, and the eldest brother Sheng Yutang would not let them go.

However, not long after walking, Duan Weiguo, who was walking in the forefront, found Xu Cai behind a certain grave.

Xu Cai was still the same as before, carrying a backpack and a repeating crossbow in his hand, but he had already fainted.

"Brother Sheng, you stand back!" Duan Weijia escorted Sheng Zitai and retreated towards the camphor tree on the side, and then nodded towards Duan Weiguo.

Duan Weiguo slowly walked around from the side, kicked away the crossbow in his hand, then leaned down and touched it, probed his nose again, and immediately grabbed the tape he carried with him and wrapped it around Xu Cai's hand, and then turned around and said, "He really fainted." ”

Duan Weijia said: "Confirm again." ”

Duan Weiguo nodded slightly, took out a needle, and suddenly pierced the back of Xu Cai's hand, and moved again, Xu Cai just snorted twice, Duan Weiguo turned his head and said, "I'm really dizzy, what should I do?" ”

Duan Weijia: "Rummage through his backpack and take his crossbow." ”

When Duan Weiguo began to rummage through his backpack, Duan Weijia turned around and said: "Brother Sheng, it's a trouble to keep him, this is deep in the mountains, kill him silently, no one knows, when the time comes, Weiguo and I can dig a pit and bury him." ”

Sheng Zitai nodded, and when Duan Wei's family was about to turn around, he suddenly shook his head and said, "Don't!" ”

Duan Weijia was a little puzzled: "Why?" ”

Sheng Zitai said: "I don't want me or the two of you to have blood on my hands. ”

Duan Weijia said in a low voice: "Brother Sheng, life and death are at stake!" Didn't you also give the order for those two to drive over the torture juggernaut on the winding mountain road? ”

"It's different! That's what they did, not what we did! Sheng Zitai gritted his teeth and took off his glasses, his face was extremely pale, "It's different!" It's really different! ”

Duan Weijia took a deep breath: "Brother Sheng, are you uncomfortable somewhere?" ”

Sheng Zitai nodded and looked at the sky: "Maybe it's raining, I have a cold, and my whole body is a little painful, it seems that I am going to have a fever." ”

Duan Weijia frowned slightly: "Brother Sheng, then we have to find a place to shelter from the rain and drive away the cold." ”

Sheng Zitai nodded, continued to look around, looking panicked, and grabbed the trunk of the tree next to him unconsciously with both hands.

Duan Weijia turned around and walked to Duan Weiguo's side, and said in a very low voice, "Brother Sheng is wrong. ”

"Sick?" Duan Weiguo turned his head and took a cautious look, looking at Sheng Zitai with a frightened expression on his face that had never appeared before, "No, it's not that he's sick, he's scared." ”

Duan Weijia nodded: "Brother Sheng said before that he is most afraid of going into the mountains, if you think about it carefully, it is true, we have followed Brother Sheng for all these years, he has never entered the mountains, even if he goes to tourist attractions, he will not go to the places next to the mountains, probably some psychological shadow." ”

Duan Weiguo asked, "What should I do?" ”

"Cover this person's mouth, leave his nose to breathe, don't kill him, this person is still useful." Duan Weijia looked into the distance, "There are so many cemeteries around here, and there are no shops in front of the village and no shops in the back, it's not very logical, so there must be villages or simple houses around, otherwise, how can you run so far to be buried and have no place to rest?" You go to the front to look for it, and I'll carry Xu Cai. ”

Duan Weiguo nodded: "Understood, I'll be back soon!" ”

As he spoke, Duan Weiguo rushed forward, and Sheng Zitai slowly stepped forward and asked urgently, "Where did Weiguo go?" ”

Duan Weijia picked up Xu Cai and said, "He's gone to find a place to shelter from the rain, Brother Sheng, let's walk slowly." ”

"Good!" Sheng Zitai followed Duan Wei's family, and unconsciously grabbed Duan Wei's backpack with both hands, which made Duan Wei's family feel even more strange.

The collapsed hole in the rear has been dug out of a hole that is enough for one person to pass through, Yuan Zhenba's head appeared at the entrance of the hole, looked outside, and then said: "It's almost, expand it a little more, Tianjian will go out to explore the road first, and after making sure that there is no danger, the others will go out." ”

Fan Meng said in the rear: "It's almost dawn, we almost haven't rested all night, this can't work, we can't go far, and we have to sleep for a few hours anyway." ”

Sheng Yutang shook his head: "It's too late, walk a little longer, and rest again after entering the cave at the entrance or at the entrance of the cave." ”

He Yuejia also said at this time: "Eldest son, let's rest more, the road ahead is really not easy to walk, too tired and easy to get sick, in this kind of place, once you get sick, you will not be far from death." ”

"Bad luck." Sheng Yutang frowned, "What do you say about not dying, it's still that sentence, let's talk about it at the front!" ”

Fan Meng and He Yuejia glanced at each other and said no more.

Mu Tianjian took the lead in climbing out, and after climbing out, he immediately took off the dagger he was biting in his mouth, because he saw Xu Dao leaning on the dying Xu Dao under the tree at the entrance of the cave, Xu Dao was sitting there with his eyes rolled, and his body was still twitching.

Mu Tianjian stepped forward slowly, made sure that Xu Dao was not using a trick, turned around and said, "Xu Dao is under the tree outside, it seems that he has been poisoned!" ”

When Yuan Zhenba heard this, he immediately climbed out, rushed to him, touched Xu Dao's pulse, nodded and said: "It's poisoned, but it's lighter, fill him with water, quickly!" ”

Mu Tianjian was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked back at Sheng Yutang, who was crawling out, that means: Do you want to save him?

Sheng Yutang walked over slowly, frowning and looking, Yuan Zhenba got up at this time and said, "Eldest prince, save him, it's not too late to ask some things before you do it." ”

Mu Tianjian said: "It's better for him to be dead than alive." ”

Sheng Yutang thought for a while and said, "Clean hands and feet!" ”

Mu Tianjian stepped forward and raised his hand to grab Xu Dao's neck and was about to make a move, Yuan Zhenba grabbed his wrist and turned his head to look at Sheng Yutang: "Eldest son, I think it's better to ask clearly, I always feel that something is wrong, the four brothers have never been separated, why did they let Xu Dao come alone?" ”

Sheng Yutang asked, "What do you want to say?" ”

"I don't know." Yuan Zhenba shook his head, "I just want to figure out what's going on, since entering the mountain, it's too strange, until now, we haven't met them with torture, and we haven't seen Sheng Zitai and the others, but the Xu brothers, who were supposed to be with us, suddenly turned back and set up an ambush, which is unreasonable." ”

Sheng Yutang looked at Mu Tianjian, but Mu Tianjian still coldly insisted on his opinion: "This kind of person, it's better to die than to live!" ”

"Forget it, wake him up and ask." Sheng Yutang nodded towards Yuan Zhenba, Yuan Zhenba turned around, Mu Tianjian reluctantly let go of Xu Dao's neck, stood on the side, and then remembered something, and looked at the hole at the entrance of the collapsed cave, because Fan Meng and He Chenxue had not come out yet.

Mu Tianjian frowned, and when he was about to turn around and go back, Fan Meng crawled out, and then helped He Yuejia climb out.

Mu Tianjian stood still and stopped advancing, while Sheng Yutang whispered on the side: "They don't dare to run, there is a transaction there, if they run away and the transaction is not established, it will be the Jade Casting Society that suffers." ”

Mu Tianjian didn't speak, just looked at Fan Meng and He Yuejia with cold eyes, Sheng Yutang patted him on the shoulder: "Relax, it's okay, Zhenba means that I don't want you to kill people again, get blood again, this is China, not Myanmar." ”

Mu Tianjian nodded slightly, looked back at Yuan Zhenba who was desperately pouring water to Xu Dao, Yuan Zhenba pinched Xu Dao's mouth, poured it into it for a while, and then let go, Xu Dao leaned over and began to vomit, Yuan Zhenba used a flashlight, looked at some of the yellow and white things and said: "Look at the color should be the heavenly thorn mushroom, this mushroom is available in Asia and South America, and the indigenous wizards of South America regard it as a witch medicine, which is actually a paralyzing hallucinogen, a small amount can relieve pain, but eating too much can even cause brain death and become a vegetative person." ”

Sheng Yutang nodded slightly: "He's okay, right?" ”

"It's okay, it's not fully digested yet, and the amount is not large, just take a break." Yuan Zhenba looked at the sky, "The rain has basically stopped, the rainstorm has turned into a light rain, and now it's too late to continue to set off." ”

Sheng Yutang said: "Tianjian, you carry him." ”

"I'll do it!" Yuan Zhenbaya grabbed Xu Dao and carried it on his shoulder, "I decided to keep him." ”

Sheng Yutang didn't say anything, just turned to look at Fan Meng and said, "Brother Fan, I'm tired and continue to lead the way." ”

Fan Meng nodded, took He Yuejia's hand and walked the muddy road, bypassing those graves and continuing to move forward.

The sky was extremely cold, Sheng Zitai and the three of them took Xu Cai, who was in a coma, to the strange stone house, Duan Weiguo, who was exploring the way in front, stood at the door of the stone house and stared at Samuchuan who was sitting at the door and looked at him, and then Samuchuan slowly got up and said inside: "There are guests here." ”

The torturers and others in the room slowly walked out, looking at Duan Weiguo, Sheng Zitai behind him, and Duan Weijia who was carrying Xu Cai, the two groups of people looked at each other speechlessly, and neither of them spoke first.

The torture technique found that Sheng Zitai at this time was completely different from the cunning young man before, not to mention the horror on his face, and one hand was still tugging at the corner of Duan Wei's clothes.

What happened to him? Thinking so, he stepped forward and said, "Little boy, I didn't expect that we could meet here. ”

Sheng Zitai nodded a few times, didn't speak, just looked around, seemed to be very afraid of here, Duan Weijia looked back slightly, and responded instead of Sheng Zitai: "Boss Xing, Brother Sheng is a little uncomfortable, I don't know if you can make a place for him to take a break from the cold?" ”

"Of course, please." The torture technique was moved to the side, and Yan Gang, Tan Tong, and He Chenxue also subconsciously got out of the way and let Sheng Zitai and the three of them in.

Duan Weijia took Sheng Zitai into the stone house, and after entering, Duan Weijia quickly glanced at the square, and then went to the upper right corner, and after putting down Xu Cai, he began to take out the stove to cook things, Sheng Zitai sat there with his arm and his head down, his face was still pale, but it was obviously much better than before.

Duan Weiguo sat at the door, keeping a certain distance from Samuchuan, looking at the depths of the camphor forest, as if waiting for something to appear.

Xingshu walked over slowly with a box of anti-inflammatory medicine, and when he was about to approach Duan Wei's house, he stretched out his hand and handed it over: "This is an anti-inflammatory drug, it seems that the little boy has a little fever, and the fever is inflammation." ”

Duan Weijia didn't take it, but said: "Thank you for the kindness of the criminal boss, but Brother Sheng doesn't seem to be just because of the cold weather, you can't eat medicine indiscriminately." After saying that, Duan Weijia saw that the torture technique had withdrawn the medicine, and immediately added, "Boss Xing, don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything else, I just hope that if you have friends around you who know some medical skills, can you help see what happened to Brother Sheng?" ”

The torture technique turned his head to look at Samuchuan, and then glanced at Yan Gang, in the team brought this time, the only one who knows medical skills should be Samuchuan, this is what Tan Tong said, this is also one of the reasons why Tan Tong asked Samuchuan to come, and Yan Gang is handy in first aid, knowing how to deal with some emergencies in time, if it weren't for this, in the last peerless building incident, he would not have returned to the ground from the tunnel so safely.

"Samuchuan! Help them see what Sheng Zitai is all about? Torture called out to Samuchuan, who got up and walked this way, and when he passed by Torture, Torture added, "I'll give you another amount of money." ”

Samuchuan shook his head slightly: "No need, there is no need to spend money to save lives." ”

The conversation between the torture technique and Samuchuan made Duan Weijia immediately understand, and he stepped forward and said, "It's okay, we will pay this money, although we don't bring cash, but we have jade with us, which is still valuable." ”

...
