Man in the Stone

Everyone noticed something strange and asked the fat man to get out of the way, and found that a part of the incense ash was embedded in the subtle cracks on the surface of the stone, forming some lines. And it is clear that the lines are very rounded, not the lines of the stone surface itself.

"There are words." Wu Xie picked up the incense burner and sprinkled incense ashes on the ground, and smeared it with his hands, and soon, more subtle lines began to appear on the ground and rock walls.

They hurriedly helped, smearing a large area with incense ash, and a crooked text appeared in front of them. These characters are all in traditional Chinese, and they are incomparably scribbled, some of them are almost indistinct, but there are quite a lot of them, densely packed with large and small characters. The notch is very shallow, and should have been simply carved out of stone on the rock wall, without the use of professional carving tools.

"Lord Lei, you have appeared so soon, thank you for your blessing...... Thank you for your blessings...... "The fat man bowed to the idol again.

"Okay, stop worshipping, I don't know what it is, let's take a look first." Wu Xie said.

The inscription on it was seen vertically, and they had arranged it and re-carved it into the rocky ground with stone. Here's a very simple passage: "November and the seventh day." The east wall, seven feet from the left, has sixteen. The west wall, three feet from the left, has seven. The north wall, five feet from the left, has ten. The south wall, six feet from the left, has four. Counting carefully, it must be excavated and resumed within three days. ”

"It's ...... A record of the mining measurement in this cave? Wu Xie looked at that paragraph, the number should be the measurement of the mining project.

Wu Xie stood up, walked to the far left of the east wall, and measured seven feet with his fingers, that is, a distance of more than two meters, to see what was in that part, but there were still countless dark green traces on the surface of the rock, nothing.

"Could it be, in there?" A-Ning's understanding of that passage is that there is something in the distance between these four walls, so it needs to be excavated.

"Inside? Is it possible that this is a record of their completion, and the contents have been excavated by them. Wu Xie guessed.

Mengli took a little of the incense ash from the ground and put it in his hand, and then sprinkled it on the rock wall, which actually showed the same lines as on the rock ground, what seemed to be the outline of something, it looked irregular, and it seemed to be a reference to provide when cutting.

"It doesn't seem to have been excavated inside." Wu Xie said suspiciously, at that time, they needed to dig up the things inside, but why didn't they seem to succeed, was the method wrong? Or is there some other reason, "Is there any special process when mining jade?" ”

"Didn't you use explosives?" The fat man thinks that these hard things should be used in simple and crude methods.

"Silly, explosives, you might as well say you're going to blow up this hole." Mengli glanced at him and said, it's not serious at this time.

The little brother said: "First burn it with fire, and then splash it with cold water, so that the stone can naturally crack." ”

"Splash with water, I know......" Wu Xie seemed to think of something all of a sudden, and hurriedly pulled the fat man to draw water with an incense burner, and poured it on the rock wall, and splashed it I don't know how many times in a row, and the color of the rock became deeper because of water seepage.

Taking a few steps back, I saw that due to the splashing of water, some parts of the jade veins on the surface of the rock became blurred, and other parts became smooth and transparent. It turns out that these stones are also jade, but the content is different, so in front of other dark green jadeite, it looks very ordinary. At the same time, they saw a looming shadow in the rock wall, and it seemed to be a human figure.

"It's ...... Person? Wu Xie looked at the rock wall in front of him and was very surprised, "How can it be a human?" If it was really a man, then how did he get into this rock wall? ”

"Haven't you heard of the fish in the stone? The legend of the fish in the stone is that in a complete mountain rock, it was found that it was hollow inside, and there was not only water, but also a live fish in the water. The fat man said, "All the fish can be in it, why can't the people?" ”

Wu Xie took a breath of cool air, looked at the figure in the stone, and still shook his head, "Impossible, this must just look like a human shadow." ”

"No, just keep splashing. There is more than one thing written on the ground. The fat man said.

They immediately repeated the same trick and soon poured water on all four walls.

As all the rocks were soaked, Wu Xie was horrified to find that the rocks near here were really full of humanoid shadows, with various movements.

The inside of the cave wall seems to be inlaid with people.

I counted it, and it was exactly the same as it was written on the ground.

"What the hell!" The fat man sat down again, "No wonder you want him to get out, what the hell is going on?" ”

"Could it be a Kunlun fetus?" Ah Ning remembered the saying that heaven and earth were born of spirits before, could it be that this is a treasure cave, and the jade has been humanized under some mysterious power?

The fat man shook his head: "The Kunlun fetus is just a legend, and it is said that they are very large mountains, these shadows are weirdly shaped, I don't think it's a good thing, and it's ......" He looked at the shelf with iron figurines lying on the side, "I may have misjudged just now, do you look at the movements of these shadows, are they very similar to those iron figurines?" ”

Wu Xie was already so surprised that he couldn't speak, and the fat man then said with a pale face: "I know it's terrifying, but I see that these tools here are all cast iron tools, and I suddenly thought of this possibility." ”

Wu Xie looked at the figures, "You mean, these iron figurines are not a means of transportation, but are used to seal these shadows they dug up?" ”

"I'm afraid it's more than that." The fat man corrected, "These iron figurines are probably what they have dealt with. They may have punched holes in the rock wall, then poured iron slurry into the dwelling, froze the people inside, and finally smashed them out. ”

Wu Xie thought of the countless iron figurines he saw in the basement of the ancient building, covered in goosebumps, if so, how many of these things had to be dug up here?

He forced a laugh, "It's all just our speculation. ”

The fat man's face was still pale, and he obviously felt that his thoughts were terrifying, and said, "Actually, there is a way, which is to smash this stone now and see what this shadow is inside." As he spoke, he pointed to the masonry hammer on the side.

A-Ning shook his head and retorted: "The previous craftsmen used such a painstaking method to deal with it, obviously the real bodies of these figures are very terrifying and ominous, and even very dangerous, so it is better not to move." ”

When the fat man heard her say this, he turned his head to the little brother, as if he wanted to ask for his opinion.

The little brother stared at the shadows, and did not answer him, but said to them, "We and them...... Actually, it's the same. ”

Wu Xie asked, "Little brother, do you have any ideas?" Just say it! ”

The little brother just stared at those shadows and didn't answer, Mengli said, "Have you ever thought about what our situation is now if such a pit hadn't been dug out here?" ”

Wu Xie thought about it, felt that his brain was a little sluggish, and he still didn't understand what he meant, but the fat man's face immediately turned white, and he scolded: "I. Exercise! ”

A-Ning's face was also pale, and obviously she understood.

Immediately, Wu Xie also understood, and the scalp at the back of his head exploded.

If this is not a mine, then, what would it be?

This is the rock wall, the interior of the mountain. If they had been inexplicably brought here in the same way, they might have been embedded in the rock wall, exactly like those shadows.

Wu Xie shuddered. What does it feel like? It would be terrible if he woke up and found himself embedded in the rock wall deep in the mountains, unable to move, and had to do so until he died.

He still said with luck: "There are differences, at least we are alive." ”

The little brother glanced at him and said, "Thinking about this matter in reverse, perhaps, it is a complete coincidence that we are alive now." ”

Wu Xie nodded silently.

This strange thing may be a mysterious phenomenon in the mountains, and it may not be the first time it has happened in the mountains. Even if no one had been mining in the pit back then, it would have happened, and their situation now would be even more unbelievable.

The fat man swallowed, looked at the figures, and said, "So, these are our predecessors?" Have you been a victim of the same thing before? ”

"It's just a possibility." "Still, I'd rather believe that's the case." ”

Mengli looked at those shadows and smiled bitterly in her heart, I would rather believe that those are victims of the same thing, and I don't want it to be Milota!

Wu Xie understood what the little brother meant. If this was a strange natural phenomenon, his previous inference might have been wrong, then no matter how disadvantaged their situation was, it would be safe, at least for the time being.

The fat man asked, "Innocent, you read a lot of books, you speculate and speculate, what could be going on?" If it is as the little brother said, what could be the situation? ”

Wu Xie said with a smile: "It's useless to read more books for this kind of thing, you have to explain it with what you can learn from reading, that is, the concept of physics, we may have fallen into the crack between the two spaces, and suddenly stuffed here from one place." However, in reality, this is impossible, and even if you do enter a naturally formed spatial rift, the place where it will reappear will be another universe, and the possibility of appearing in the same area is infinitely close to zero. ”

There are many legends of this kind of thing in the world, and in some very special places, such as Bermuda, it is said to be a phenomenon. But he didn't believe that this was the case here, and the process of the fat man and the little brother losing consciousness at the bottom of the lake was not at all like being dealt with by a "natural phenomenon", too much like someone was using something to plot.

Therefore, Wu Xie agrees with the little brother's previous opinion: the power to bring them here is definitely meaningful and purposeful.

The fat man disagreed, he said: "The possibility is so small that it is infinitely close to zero, and it is not equal to zero." ”

A-Ning said: "In terms of scientific explanation, there is only one explanation." If not, we are dealing with a different category entirely. ”

The fat man fell into deep thought, and said to himself: "Is there such a thing in the legend left by our ancestors? ”

Wu Xie thought about it, he had never seen a record of a figure appearing in a rock in any notebook novel in the past, of course, maybe he didn't dabble in it enough.
