Chapter 353: The Second She's Ring
A magical scene happened. The ship actually moved, and slowly moved forward. I quickly put my severed finger in my mouth and sucked it in, while bending down to look at the water.
Where are there women with long hair in the water!
I remember that my uncle said before that the thirteen caves of the Yellow River, the first three caves are not dangerous, and my uncle himself has entered it several times before, starting from the fourth cave, it is not for ordinary people to enter.
The boat seemed to have momentum, and it moved forward by itself, and I knew that Wu Jinghan was afraid, so I hurriedly put my arm around her.
Her body trembled slightly in my arms, and the feeling was both nervous and exciting.
At this time, there was a "buzzing" sound from the direction of the stone walls on both sides, like countless small bees vibrating their wings together.
I know what it is!
When I entered the Thirteen Ghost Caves the first two times, I also encountered a similar scene, when tens of thousands of small water insects gathered in the water.
If I'm guessing correctly, all kinds of bugs, this should be the defense system of the Thirteen Caves.
Hanging coffin? A layer of skeletons at the bottom of the river?
Could it be that the skeletons at the bottom of the river are slaves to be buried? And the so-called Thirteen Caves of the Yellow River are actually a special ancient tomb?
Actually, I should have thought of it a long time ago!
It seems that the owner of the tomb is very skillful, and he chiseled the whole mountain and built this tomb. But any ancient tomb must have an anti-theft system, and the cleverness of this ancient tomb is that its anti-theft system is not a hidden weapon, not a rolling stone, nor a trap or poisonous gas, but a poisonous insect - to be precise, a Gu worm.
The age of the ancient tombs is at least a few thousand years old, so it can be inferred that Gu worms can reproduce from generation to generation, just like the generations of tomb keepers of some tombs.
The great thing about this design is that the anti-theft system will not fail due to the passage of time. For example, the anti-tomb robbery mechanism thousands of years ago has basically failed today.
The Gu insects that can reproduce are different, as long as there are conditions for the survival of poisonous insects, they will reproduce from generation to generation, and the poisonous insect anti-theft can be said to have no dead ends.
So that there is no hiding place for grave robbers.
With such a huge project and such a high standard, who is the owner of the tomb?
"You...... What do you hear? Wu Jinghan's trembling voice once again pulled my thoughts back to reality.
"It's okay! There I am! Just rest assured. β
I hurriedly asked the natal Gu in the language of thought.
"Is there a large number of Gu worms nearby?"
"Yes! But don't worry, let me communicate......"
I quickly opened my mouth, and with a tickling sensation in my throat, I knew that the Natal Gu had "flew" out.
For the natal Gu in my body, in fact, I also have a lot of doubts, for example, when I was in the insect dish Miao Village, I actually called it several times, but I didn't answer.
I didn't ask the reason for it afterwards, but I always felt weird.
About a minute or so later, the Natal Gu returned to my abdomen.
"The number of Gu worms here is much more than you think, they have multiplied through the times, and they have formed a small society."
"Oh! Are these Gu worms here to protect this? β
"That's right! I've communicated with them, and the meaning of their existence is like your human domestic dogs. β
"What is this place?"
"I don't know about that!"
While communicating with Natal Gu, I accidentally caught a glimpse of a corpse floating in the water, and after seeing the clothes the corpse was wearing, my scalp was numb.
The corpse was wearing a navy blue robe, which was the one that Fa Dian often wore!
Could it be that the one who died in the water was Fa Ying?
I almost used my suckling strength to row the boat to the corpse.
The corpse was lying in the water, with only half of its two ears, and it was pitted by something on its neck, it should have been soaked in the water for a while, and it no longer oozes blood, showing the appearance of Bai Sensen, looking very terrible.
Is this man Fa Ying? In my mind, Fa Dian is a terrible existence, a god-like character, how could he die so miserably?
My first reaction was disbelief, and my second reaction was disbelief!
Wu Jinghan trembled with fright: "This is Master Fa Dian?" β
"It should ...... I guess so! β
Because of the excitement, I stumbled in one sentence.
I turned the corpse over with a dilapidated oar, and now I was even more entangled, the whole face of the corpse was almost gone, and the cheeks were exposed with white bones, and I couldn't recognize the appearance at all, and I couldn't recognize the damn whether this person was Fa Yi or not.
I wanted to fish up the body, but Wu Jinghan stopped me.
"There's not a lot of space on board...... Where are we staying? β
When you think about it, too!
Let's find my uncle first!
Although I am not 100% sure, I know in my heart that this person should be Fa Ying.
That's all the way around, my uncle...... There was a sudden throbbing in my heart, but I thought about it again, since my uncle asked Li Bo to inform me, I should be in control of everything.
When I saw the hanging coffins on both sides of the cave wall again, I was very calm.
"Lu Dong, this is really a hanging coffin...... Like the cave in the space under the Yellow River, this is also the tomb group of the Dongyi people? Looking at ...... It looks like the age is later than the group of catacombs...... There should be a sequence. β
I forgot that Wu Jinghan majored in archaeology...... Seeing the hanging coffins on both sides, he actually forgot his fear, and looked left and right with curiosity. Worry-free Chinese network
"That's what I thought when I saw the hanging coffin before!"
The hanging coffins are of different sizes, and it can be seen that they do not belong to the same era.
"That's right! You said that there were also several caves found in the 100,000 mountains of Zhangjiajie, and there were similar text symbols and murals in the caves, as well as bronze coffins engraved with auspicious cloud patterns? β
I nodded: "Although I am not professional, I can also see that those narrative murals are the same as the ones we saw in the space under the Yellow River before, there is an incomparably huge bronze coffin." β
Wu Jinghan touched his lips: "The teacher and several professors also said that the ancient tombs of Wuyi Mountain excavated in the seventies of the last century are also the culture of the Dongyi people, if those two ruins moved west because the Dongyi people were defeated by the Huaxia people, then what happened to this tomb group?" β
I thought for a moment: "Do you think it will be that the space under the Yellow River cannot be buried?" β
Wu Jinghan said "um": "There is this possibility, or this ancient tomb belongs to the new tomb group after the war!" β
In the vast rural areas of China, large families, because of the large population, the cemetery cannot be opened, so they have to choose a new cemetery, in the same way, since the Yellow River Thirteen Ghost Caves and the space under the Yellow River have a precedent relationship, it is likely for this reason.
The two of them were chatting, and suddenly Wu Jinghan threw herself into my arms.
"Someone! There is someone on the coffin! β
I was startled by him, and then I almost burst out laughing.
"I said dear, you still study archaeology, there must be dead people in the coffin!"
"It's not...... Not really! You...... You see! β
Following her trembling fingers, I saw a man dressed in black on the coffin at the bottom of the stone wall on the left.
The man was lying on a coffin, one hand drooping, and the man did not move.
This manβthis is my uncle!
Because of the distance and angle, I couldn't see this person's appearance, but I judged from the tall and thin figure at a glance that this person was my uncle. In an instant, he was excited, and this time he rowed over with the strength of milk.
Before the ship was finished, I stepped forward.
I saw that my uncle's face was full of ashes and his lips were purple, so I quickly reached out and touched it.
"And breathing! Uncle...... Uncle just fainted! β
Then Wu Jinghan also jumped onto the shore, and the two of them helped their uncle up one by one.
"Uncle! Uncle! Can you hear me? β
I shouted a few times, but my uncle didn't speak.
"Let's get on board first!" Wu Jinghan said softly.
Wu Jinghan took an outdoor emergency medical class when he was an undergraduate, he took off his coat, circled it, put it under his uncle's head, and reached out to touch his breathing.
"Uncle is breathing a little weakly, he may have been seriously injured, we have to rush to the hospital!"
I nodded, and I wanted to row the boat, and I wanted to go back.
Strange things happened again.
No matter how hard I rowed, the boat seemed to be frozen, and I subconsciously looked into the water, this time there was no long-haired woman in the water.
What's the situation?
"Don't waste your efforts just yetβsomething isn't right!" Wu Jinghan's face changed suddenly, "Huh? Uncle's left hand is clenched so tightly! β
Following her fingers, I saw my uncle's left hand clenched into a fist, Wu Jinghan wanted to break it for him, tried a few times, but couldn't break it.
I crouched down, took his hand, and broke it with a lot of force.
Ring?
The moment I broke the finger of my uncle's left hand, I saw a black ring, and on the ring was carved a lifelike strange animal.
I subconsciously touched the ring on my left ring finger, and it was still there.
The ring in my uncle's palm turned out to be exactly the same as the ring that Xiaowa gave me.
Oh, my God!
I remember that the old man with thick glasses said that this is called "She Zhijie", after the defeat of the Dongyi tribe, Chiyou was cut into four parts, and hid in four distant hidden places in the east, west, south and north.
Chiyou's sword was re-smelted and mixed with other substances to forge twelve rings of mystical power, known to later archaeologists as the She's Ring.
I picked up the She's ring, hesitated, and put it in my pocket.
The eldest uncle is in a highly comatose and still holds on to it, which shows that in his mind, the She Ring is very important.
"What should I do?" Wu Jinghan asked me anxiously.
"We can't turn around, let's move forward!" I pointed ahead.
"Onward? Don't you say that the further you go, the more dangerous it becomes! β
I snorted coldly: "It's come to this, and I can't care so much, so I have to take one step at a time." β
"Okay, I'll check if my uncle has any external injuries first, and it just so happens that I have disinfectant in my bag." Saying that, Wu Jinghan gently lifted his uncle's shirt, and before I could look at it, I only heard Wu Jinghan scream "Wow", and the whole person fell backwards on his back.
Thankfully, I reacted quickly and grabbed her by the waist.
"What's wrong with you?"
"Centipede...... There are so many centipedes on my uncle's stomach! β
"Centipedes?" I...... You get it right! Where are centipedes? β
