Chapter 49: The Twelve Stars
It's strange to say.
The image is obviously very strange, but from the painting, it is majestic and majestic.
In addition to this idol, the surrounding area is actually a dense forest.
And the location of the statue seems to be on the mountainside.
"Huh!" The fat man kept staring at the painting, and when Liu Ziang was still looking at the painting, he exclaimed.
"Lao Liu, this painting seems to be?" The fat man said, raising his hand and pointing towards the mountains and forests, "It seems that this is the area we are in." ”
"It's just that the shrine has been replaced by a god statue."
Following his words, Liu Ziang looked up.
It's a pity that the dense forests in the mountains obscure the sight.
Liu Ziang didn't have a perspective vision, he couldn't see far, and he couldn't see the terrain.
"Are you sure?" In the end, he could only let the fat man ask.
"I'm sure!" The fat man's pupils flashed with blue light, and he nodded heavily to Liu Ziang.
"Strange!" The fat man's words had just fallen, and Liu Ziang had just frowned, and a slight exclamation came out.
The fat man and Liu Ziang both turned their heads.
I saw Xu Ling stretching out his hand and pointing to the shrine.
Or rather, she pointed to the back wall of the shrine where the painting was originally hung.
On the wall, there is a pattern!
The color of this pattern is red, and the picture is rough and crude.
The pattern is divided into two layers.
The outer layer is a circle. The inner layer is like a twisted 'ten'.
"What kind of pattern is this?"
Obviously, this pattern is not normal. Liu Ziang asked, squatted down, and sniffed inside the shrine.
He added, "It's still painted by old people." ”
"This pattern is a star map!"
Not to mention, Xu Ling deserves a doctorate degree in ancient culture.
This pattern looks like a child's hand-drawn, but the origin of it was seen through by Xu Ling.
"Star Order?" This time, Liu Ziang didn't understand, and said with a curious expression.
"It can be simply understood that the twelve constellations in our country are the constellations established by the ancient calendars to divide the ecliptic into twelve parts and combine them with the twenty-four solar terms."
"There are exactly twelve of them!" As he spoke, Xu Ling stretched out his hand and pointed to the pattern inside the shrine, "What this pattern represents is the initiation star of the twelve star stages - called 'Star Age'!"
"It seems that the fires that lit up last night are also twelve, which corresponds to the twelve stars you said?" Liu Ziang asked Xu Ling again.
Xu Ling nodded.
"The starting star is the starting fire ball again, it should be right."
As she spoke, Xu Ling frowned again.
"It's just that this star is secondary, it is astrology! I've never seen it used as a totem. ”
Xu Ling raised his hand and stretched out the Star Age symbol in the shrine.
While stroking, he said strangely to Liu Ziang: "I really can't see through this!" ”
Liu Ziang stood up.
After a while, I looked at the ancient painting in my hand.
After a while, he looked towards the Star Age symbol in the shrine.
After a long moment, he shook his head and threw the painting in his hand.
"Whatever, if you don't understand, you don't understand, anyway, our goal is not to solve the mystery, we are here to kill people."
Liu Ziang looked at the fat man and pointed to the shrine again.
"Fatty, lift him and see if there are any roots attached to his head."
"Okay!" The fat man smiled, immediately ran to the shrine, and stretched out his hand to push.
But the fat man didn't have time to exert himself yet.
Lying behind Xu Ling, the soft bell suddenly widened her eyes.
"Dad, there's a monster!" Screaming, Bell turned around and pointed into the woods.
The group immediately turned their heads.
Without Chen Shan's orders, the soldiers who turned around immediately raised their guns.
And the fighters on duty last night were in a trance.
I wanted to raise the gun but didn't.
His teammates still didn't sleep well, and one of them pulled the warrior on duty behind him and protected him.
"Rustle!"
Just as everyone turned around, they saw the trees shaking in the mountains and forests.
The sound of leaves clapping against each other rustled into your ears.
The tree didn't tremble much, and the sound wasn't harsh.
But everyone's faces changed in fear.
Liu Ziang pulled out the Pu knife behind his back as quickly as possible!
The fat man lifted the longbow, drew the arrow, and pulled the bowstring up.
As for the fighters, they are all ready to pull the trigger!
The reason why it makes everyone feel like a great enemy.
It is because the trees move, but there is no wind blowing.
"Rustle!"
The trees shook one after another.
The leaves of the trees hit each other, as if the palms of the trees were slapping against each other.
It's getting weirder and weirder, and it's getting chilling more and more.
Naturally, everyone's expressions became more and more solemn.
As for the soldier on duty last night, he shrank back, terrified.
If someone saw him and Ling'er at the same time at this time, they would be surprised.
Because Ling'er and his movements are exactly the same.
Ling'er lay behind Xu Ling, and also bowed as much as possible, showing horror on her face.
But in the next second, Ling'er opened her eyes again and exclaimed, "Dad, you're behind!" ”
At the same moment, an incomparably terrifying whistling sound came into Liu Ziang's ears.
Even if he didn't need to shout, he also reacted.
With a bang, he pulled out the knife.
When the Pu knife was unsheathed, Liu Ziang suddenly lowered his body, and at the same time turned around and waved the knife in his hand again.
The knife was like a thunderbolt, and it came out in shock.
"Bang!" But only a muffled sound was heard, and the Pu knife in Liu Ziang's hand hit a ball of flesh and blood.
With the benefit of the simple knife, with the power of Liu Ziang.
The knife slashed out heavily, but it didn't cut through the flesh and skin.
"Huh?"
At the same time, Liu Ziang also snorted heavily.
The shrine is gone!
What appeared was a twisted mass of flesh. Count pairs of feet, count pairs of arms.
There is no body, and there is no head.
It's just that in the pile of twisted flesh and skin of hands and feet, some vermilion wood can be faintly seen.
It seems that the original shrine was caught in this twisted flesh and blood.
The twisted flesh and blood of these hands and feet are exactly the same as the 'god statue' in the painting!
In this gap, Liu Ziang still had the strength to take a look at the underside of the twisted flesh.
That's a pit.
Obviously, these opponents must be hiding in this pit.
In the pit, you can still see abundant thick tree roots.
This is not the root of a tree in the forest, but a continuation from the village.
The roots of the tree are not attached to the shrine, but the position of the shrine is slightly arched, like a plug.
As for the top of the tree, it still bends upward.
"Collapse!"
Liu Ziang's eyes hadn't been withdrawn, and another extremely terrifying explosion sounded out!
This is the sound of the fat man pulling his bow and shooting arrows.
Sure enough, not even for a second, I heard another 'bang'. This is the sound of an arrow hitting something and exploding violently.
"Shoot!"
Immediately afterwards, it was Chen Shan's big drink.
Then, there was one swift and terrifying gunshot.
The sound of dozens of guns shooting bullets came out at the same time!
Liu Ziang wanted to turn his head to take a look, but he heard a muffled sound of 'whirring'!
It was the flesh monster he had slashed at that raised several arms and threw them at him.
The monster's arm was extremely soft, and when it was thrown out, it was as swift and violent as several whips, and it snapped.
This flesh monster made a move, Liu Ziang wanted to do his best, but he smiled disdainfully when he saw such a scene.
He didn't even raise the knife, he just turned around quickly.
Behind him, he carried a wooden box with a golden coffin.
"Bang bang bang!" There was a loud bang, and it was the flesh monster with many hands and feet thrown on the wooden box.
Although the wooden box trembled, it did not damage the wooden box.
"This thing, if *** really can't be broken, I don't believe that every one of you can be *** powerful!"
Smiled disdainfully, letting the flesh monster's hand keep slamming against the wooden box, its eyes looking ahead.
Now, he finally understood why the trees could shake even when there was no wind.
There is no other reason than because these trees are alive!
