Chapter 110: The Mysterious Statue of a Brainless Man in the Tree
There are people in the tree, and there is a big hole in the brain!
Several keywords are linked together, but anyone will associate a certain unlucky brother, let people give disaster, and throw it into a tree 'hole' to cover up the corpse.
But when we heard the shouting, locked the location, put aside personal grievances, and ran to the place of the incident to take a look, the above thoughts disappeared in an instant.
Here's the thing.
The first thing standing in front of me was a towering tree, which looked like a red pine. Secondly, this red pine is already hanging, that is, it is a dead tree.
There is a large tree 'hole' under the dead tree, and the tree 'hole' is composed of three parts. If you look closely, these three parts should be three red pines, and then they grow together around something.
On the surface of the dead tree, there are many wild black fungus. This fungus is the kind that can be eaten, don't think about it.
One of the guys on the team probably wanted to add a meal to us and get some fungus to eat.
But in the process of picking, he found that a hand was stretched out from inside the broken trunk.
Right!
It's the hand in front of me.
It is large, spread out, with the palm facing the sky, and the palm of the hand is at least forty centimeters from the base of the palm to the fingertips. And, this hand, it is made of stone.
Due to the age, two fingers have fallen off, and the palms are also covered with large cracks, giving people the feeling that they will scatter when they are touched.
Then, when I tilted my head forward and looked up, I was surprised.
Three red pines firmly encased this human stone statue together.
In addition, the middle of the human brain carved in the stone is empty.
In other words, the head was originally the part of the face, and there was nothing empty.
The height of the stone statue should be between three and four meters by visual inspection.
The carving process is estimated to be very advanced at that time, but because the years are too old, the folds of the clothes on the surface, the 'flower' pattern and so on, have been weathered and blurred, and you can only see a general appearance in the line of sight.
To be honest, I was stunned when I saw this.
Because, the age of the three dead red pines is not small. According to conservative estimates, the millennium is a proper one. And this stone statue is wrapped in three trees, so the time when it stood here should be traced back to a thousand years ago.
More than 1,000 years ago, what was the Northeast?
Not a 'hairy' place!
There are basically no living people.
In addition, the weirdest thing is that the portrait's head is empty! Empty head, what's the explanation?
I'm wondering.
Suddenly, I felt that the atmosphere behind me was not right.
I turned my head.
Okay, people in their thirties, ready to bow down again.
Zhu Lao Dao flashed out at this time and said: "Don't, don't, everyone, the old man has gold under his knees, and this one can't kneel easily." ”
People shook their heads.
Dajun said with a bitter face: "Dao Chief, you don't know, this seems to be the old people said that the gods who guard the mountain, you can't do it if you don't kneel." ”
Guardian gods?
When I heard this, I was about to ask for an understanding.
Dou '' eyes slapped his head on the side of the 'door' and said: "I remember, it seems that five or six years ago, I went here with a few people from Jilin to look for a 'stick' mallet (wild ginseng), and then put it in other places, it seems that I have also seen such a stone statue." Yes, I remembered it, it's exactly the same, but it's also empty in the middle of the brain. ”
Lao Dao motioned everyone not to panic, then looked up at the portrait, looked at it for a while, and said: "Taoism, like Buddhism, attaches great importance to the concept of 'emptiness'. ”
I wondered, "Why?" ”
Lao Dao: "Emptiness represents a positive momentum. Meaning, more stuff can be accommodated in. And fullness represents a kind of decadence, the beginning of decay. Because, if it is full, it can no longer be loaded, and if it is hard, one is to break the container, and the other is that it cannot hold things. ”
I was stunned.
Lao Dao smiled and said, "Isn't there such a sentence? 'Don't laugh at the poor boy'. The boy is poor, but the boy is empty, and he can hold a lot of things, and the boy has a lot of time to load things. Therefore, every teenager may be a rich man in the future. ”
Lao Tao continued: "This figure has an empty head. I think this should be a kind of formation, and the purpose of the formation is to fill the head after it is running, and ...... Brother, go up to the tree and see if there are any traces of a pin-trapping device near the head. ”
I looked at the structure of the tree, reached out and grabbed a few broken branches, swished twice, and climbed up.
At the top, I looked closer to the middle of the figure's head.
Sure enough, under the empty head, there seems to be a bottom sitting, and the bottom sitting, it should be used to put something.
"It looks like it's for something." I turned my head and spoke.
Below, I wish Lao Dao a sudden look.
And the army that followed Lao Dao suddenly said like a fairy possessed: "I remember, I remember." In the early years, when I played little Japan, didn't the old 'Mao' come over? (The old 'Mao' refers to the Russians.) )
"I heard my grandfather say that the old 'Mao' didn't do anything good here, and when he went to the forest, he seemed to have stolen the head of the mountain god. After finishing the matter, I heard that a lot of old 'hairy' people died. In addition, my father said, what is the head of the mountain god...... Right! Big glass balls! ”
"The head of the mountain god is a big glass ball!"
Big glass balls, what's that?
Lao Dao has given the answer.
"Well, if the old man's estimate is right, it should be a crystal ball!"
I came down from the tree.
Lao Dao continued: "Crystal has a very high status in Taoism, and in addition to Taoism, foreign shamans, mages, including Buddha, and other fields related to religion and 'spirit' are inseparable from crystal. This stone statue stands here, and then a crystal is placed in the brain, which can only indicate one thing, the direction it is facing, that is, the end point we are looking for! ”
After the old Tao finished speaking, he said again: "Pen, ink and paper are waiting." ”
The wild men looked at each other, and three seconds later, someone came over with a broken pencil head and a folded cigarette case.
The old Taoist took it, squatted on the ground, and began to list a text equation for me.
Suppose this is a Taoist formation with variable X......
Well, in layman's terms, if the figure is not one, then the direction of the formation should be a scattered 'shot' with a circular face in the center.
We now know the location of a portrait and then we can find the next one.
In this way, knowing that the two points arranged in a circular curve are arranged, we can use this to deduce the position where the two points 'intersect' in a straight line.
I looked at Lao Dao with surprise.
Lao Dao grinned: "In the early years, I put aside a high school and made a cameo appearance as a geometry teacher for a few months, hehe......"
I can't imagine how an old Taoist can transform from a high school geometry teacher to a god, and then go everywhere to visit friends and travel all over China.
How many stories are there?
In addition to emotion, I am emotional!
In addition to sighing, I looked around, how could there be no one missing?
The girl is gone.
That's right, little sister Cuiling, I don't know when, quietly ran away.
This little Dao chick, 'exposed' the stuffing, let me and Lao Dao expose their identities, naturally they will not 'fight' with us head-on, I think she should hide in the shadows now, and find a way to release the 'yin' move.
Black-bellied little girl!
We'll see! We gentlemen, frank eggs! What are you afraid of!
As soon as the old Taoist understood the geometric vernacular, he immediately fooled the wild men present.
People in the mountains may not believe in gods and gods, and they may not believe in the great immortals. But they only believe in one person, and that is a knowledgeable and literate person, especially a teacher!
As soon as Lao Dao said that he had been a high school teacher, everyone immediately looked up to him.
So, I didn't worship anymore, and turned my eyes with respect and looked up at the old way.
Zhu Lao Dao enjoyed this kind of respect and admiration, he smiled slightly, stood up, took the cigarette paper full of curves and circles and said to everyone: "That, let's eat first!" After dinner, make this place a base camp, and then you send out a team to find another portrait. ”
"Okay, teacher, that's it."
"By the way, teacher, what do you call it?"
Lao Dao's face flushed: "The surname is Zhu." ”
"Okay, let's call you Teacher Zhu."
As soon as the three words of the teacher were shouted, I found that the old man's face changed slightly, and then he turned his head, reached out and wiped something from the corner of his eye.
But just for a moment, Lao Dao returned to the cynicism of a hippie smile, pulled me and said to everyone: "Don't underestimate him, he is a college graduate from a university in the city, and he is studying psychology." ”
This sentence is correct again.
Another type of person that people in the village value is college students!
Although, many college students now can't compare with college students in the eighties and nineties. But these three words, like the teacher, are full of weight.
"Oh mom, don't say it earlier, it's cultural silver!"
A fierce man clapped his hands, and then, Lao Dao and I hugged to the cooking place, and then everyone took barrels of self-brewed sorghum wine, as well as salty 'meat' or something, and handed it directly to me and Lao Dao's hands.
In the wilderness, mountains and forests.
I didn't expect that a teacher and a college student would make us quickly get along with this group of mountain people.
Yes, don't scold people for being stupid, and don't say that people don't have brains.
They're just too poor, too poor.
I drank two sips of strong sorghum wine.
Niu Tieshan came over to me and Lao Dao with a big cannon in his arms and said, "College student, teacher, you say, is that little girl a goblin?" How could I see her suddenly gone? ”
Lao Dao smiled: "Big brother, the goblin has no body. ”
As soon as these words came out, someone immediately retorted: "Teacher, it's not right, in the village, we obviously saw it, and usually, they all eat and live with us." ”
Lao Dao: "Illusion! Got it? Many times, seeing is not necessarily believing. 'Spirit' patient, you know? ”
Everyone nodded.
Lao Dao: "A 'spirit' patient can see a living person as a little 'chicken' or a puppy." You can see the dead in the house, you can see this, you can see that, but are those things? ”
They said, "No." ”
Lao Dao: "This principle is the same for you. What you see is all false, false. But this falsehood, the void, is not born in your own mind, but a demon spirit, which interferes with your eyes, ears, and nose. And so on this series of senses. ”
"True, true, fake! There are many illusions, and you will be 'blinded' by the demon spirits! ”
No one in this world is a fool, I wish Lao Dao an explanation, and everyone understands.
The monsters in Journey to the West eat people are fake. In this world, youkai don't turn into entities and go around grabbing people to eat. Even if you eat people, you are still attached to people.
Just eat and talk.
After eating, I packed up my things and was walking again.
I found that there was no one again.
Who?
He is Liu Da Burying.
