Volume 1 The Mystery of the Big Dipper Chapter 18 The Woods (Part II)
The black shadow stood on another hill and watched Shen Yifan and the others' team slowly move forward along the edge of the river that came from the resurgence, the black shadow smiled and came to the place where Shen Yifan and the others were camped, looked at the fire that was about to be extinguished, and sneered, lit the fire again, and said to himself: "You still need here." As he spoke, the shadow flashed and left.
It is said that Shen Yifan and the others walked along the rejuvenating river and found that the road around them was getting wider and wider, and then they realized that the river next to them was slowly narrowing, and the water level was slowly decreasing. Almost as fast as the naked eye can see, the river of resurgence is gone.
When they came to the bulging hills, they could feel that the temperature was very comfortable, and a pool of steaming hot springs appeared not far away, and then everyone realized that the resurgence river must have returned to this place, which was originally a huge pit and now became a hot spring pool.
Jack and Jin Jianyu suggested camping and resting on the edge of the hot spring, this toss Everyone was already tired and exhausted, and many people were already hungry, so Jin Jianyu had to nod and sit on the stone on the side of him, looked at the surroundings and said, "Jack." Send two of them to scout. ”
Jack seemed a little embarrassed, many of the foreigners in this team were foreigners, and when they said that they were resting, those foreigners couldn't wait to jump into the hot spring pool to enjoy, and some of them were lying on the ground and didn't want to move.
Shen Yifan said: "I'll go!" He said and prepared to leave.
Murong Wan'er took a step forward and said, "I'll go with you." ”
Shen Yifan didn't object and looked at Jin Zhuyu, Jin Zhuyu didn't react, put the dagger into the scabbard on his foot and said, "I'll go with you." With that, the three of them prepared to leave.
Robin ran over with a rifle that looked like Jianwei, handed it to Jin Jianyu and said, "Boss, this one was brought in by Mauser in Jianwei." ”
Jin Jianyu took the rifle and put it behind his back without saying a word, and caught up with Shen Yifan and Murong Wan'er.
The three of them walked all the way to the vicinity of Juemagou and looked at the terrain. Shen Yifan said: "Except for the mountain of Juemagou, it is a place of flat rivers here. And why is this ravine called Juma Gully? ”
Jumagou is actually a big mountain, there is a mountain road in the middle, from a distance, it looks like a mountain is split by a sharp blade, but up close, it is relatively spacious, which can basically accommodate two Jiefang brand trucks side by side. The passage is straight and very deep, and when you look at it from a strong light torch, you can only see an entrance. The mountain wall is very smooth, it is probably caused by the sulfur tide every day, there is no vegetation in the place at a glance, not even a single weed, it is a bare mountain wall and mountain road, and the mountain road in the ditch is very clear and smooth.
Just when Shen Yifan wanted to walk into Juemagou, he saw that their hot spring camp released a signal flare, and the bright light of the signal flare suddenly illuminated the throughput of the night, followed by three red, green and yellow signal flares.
Jin Jianyu saw the flare and said, "It was Jack who told us to go back." There may have been some important clues found in the camp. ”
Shen Yifan nodded and the three of them returned to the camp, in fact, they were already on the verge of being very dangerous when they were about to approach Jumagou, and the four signal flares coincidentally pulled them back from the brink of death. We'll talk about that later.
When Shen Yifan and the others returned to the camp, Jack told them that they had found a hillside on the edge of the hot spring pool, and a team member went to the hillside to check and found an extremely old wooden sailboat, so let the three of them come back first to see what the situation was.
"Wooden galleon?" Shen Yifan was a little puzzled and thought to himself: "How can there be an ancient sailing ship here?" "I thought that the man had followed Jack to the place where the ancient sailing ship had been discovered.
This ancient sailing ship is not Middle-earth at first glance, the shape is a bit like a Persian ship, the whole hull has been broken into two, one is deeply buried in the mound, the stern is down, and the other is hanging horizontally on the top of the mound, and the mound is actually only half a meter away, I found that the members of this ancient sailing ship originally wanted to find a high ground to see the surrounding situation, but they were tripped over something, take a closer look at a piece of wood, dig it up, you will find something underneath, As he walked around the mound, he found a ship's bow perched above his head, as if a sailboat were leaping.
When Shen Yifan arrived at the scene, most of the people were already busy on the mound, and they had already dug up nearly dozens of clay pots and bronze utensils on the boat, which were all placed on the oilcloth near the mound, and several people were cleaning and counting. Experts and motors, Fang Zi and the three of them are also among them.
When the expert saw Shen Yifan coming, he walked over head-on and said, "I didn't expect that there was a Persian merchant ship from the Tang Dynasty here. The expert briefly explained how he found the ship, and then said: "There seem to be many unexplained things about this big Beidou, and how this ship got here is also a mystery." ”
Shen Yifan asked, "What did you find?" ”
"There are a lot of items on board, and it's still very complete. We dug up a tenth of what was on the ship. The expert pointed to the things placed on the tarpaulin and said: "I estimate that this ship has three or four floors, and we dug up the first layer of the foredeck, which should be some local goods that were more common at that time." For example: tea; Old wine and vegetable oils and the like. There were a few clay pots that were broken, and inside were tea leaves. The seals were very good, especially the bronzes, which seemed to have been sealed with fire wax. ”
At this time, Jack also came to them and said, "Boss." Stuff here is valuable. Do you think we'll leave when we're done cleaning up? ”
Shen Yifan said on the side: "No. This is exactly where the sulphur tide is exposed. Tides of sulphur come from time to time, and a minute more is in danger for us. ”
Jin Zhuyu nodded and said, "Shen Yifan said a lot, we can't delay too much time here." You leave a positioning together here. We'll deal with it when we get back. ”
Jack nodded and was about to leave, when he heard a man on the hill shout, "Hey! Come and see what I found? ”
After Shen Yifan and the others heard this, they also ran to the hill in three steps and two steps, and found that someone had already made a move on the stern of the ship buried under the mound, and saw that there was still half of the stern of the ship that was inserted vertically on the mound, and when digging up the soil on the mound, you could see a black hole like a deep well, and two of them fell out of the coffin from below with a rope, but the insider knew at a glance that it was not a coffin but a large rectangular box, which was decorated with chrysanthemums all over the body in bronze, and was spray-painted with gilt. There are four pull rings on both sides of the box, and there is also a large ring at the end of the pull-out, when the box is hoisted out, everyone finds that the lid of this box is a lying human-shaped lid, the work is very fine, and there are many gems.
When the box hit the ground, almost the whole audience cheered, everyone thought that there must be something very valuable here, and urged a few people to open the box.
Shen Yifan said on the side: "It seems that this ship is a Persian merchant ship around the world. This box should be something from other countries, not something from our ancient China. ”
Murong Wan'er said: "In the records of the Murong family, it is said that there was a city in Beidou Mountain in the Tang Dynasty, and with the death of the last King of Min, this city also disappeared. This ship should have sunk here when it came to make a trade. ”
Just as they were discussing the merchant ships, Jack's men had already opened the box, and when they opened it, everyone gathered around and looked at it with some disappointment, seeing that the box was so delicate, there were many vines and plants and a small dark purple flower that had not yet withered, this little flower was dark purple and grew on the vine, and the flower was about the same as a small daisy.
One of the team members flicked the vine with a bayonet to see what was under the vine, but the vine was still underneath and stabbed with a bayonet again, and when the bayonet was taken out, there was red blood on the bayonet, and the blood was still very fresh, and blood was still dripping along the blood groove of the bayonet.
Shen Yifan was a little curious and said, "There are living creatures in it?" ”
As soon as the words came out, I saw a vine 'snap' and stretched out into the box, and the force was terrifying, and the team member with the bayonet just now was knocked a long way away, and then I saw that many dark purple flowers the size of a small daisy suddenly grew on the vine, and the vine was like a cobra and raised high and made a 'time lala' sound. Everyone took a few steps back when they saw this, and at this moment, the whole box was like a fryer, and for a while, the body of 'Zilala' affected the surroundings, and the vines in this box were all raised like the first one, and they were covered with small dark purple flowers. The vines were pointing in four directions, each of which was shaking and making a sound as if it was about to attack the surrounding crowd at any moment.
Everyone began to slowly pick up the pistol in their hands, although everyone knew that the weapon in their hands had no effect on the things in front of them, but to some extent, it could be courageous, and at the same time, the vines in the copper box attacked from all directions almost at the same time, and the speed of the vines was extremely fast, and many people were specially whipped out of Zhang Yuan before they could react, and a mouthful of blood sprayed and they actually died, and some vines were directly pierced into the human body, as if they were sucking something?
Shen Yifan and the others were also frightened when they saw this situation, and they took a few steps back, took Murong Wan'er's hand and shouted, "Quickly retreat." ”
At this time, there was a person sucking on every vine in the copper box, and those people were pierced into the body by the vines, losing their ability to move and resist, and at the mercy of those vines, looking at this scene, it seemed that a demon-possessed spirit was sucking human blood. Fortunately, the attack range of those vines is limited, and there is no danger for all people to leave the attack range of the vines. Everyone was helpless to look at this terrifying scene, at this time Robin raised his compound bow and lit a bow and arrow towards the copper box, but he didn't think that when the bow and arrow approached the copper box in the air, all the purple flowers on a pillar of vines opened their petals in the direction of the attack, like a radar, and made a 'la la' sound, and the 'pop' was actually broken in half by the vines.
Everyone was shocked when they saw this scene, and the expert leaked a sentence from his mouth: "Damn." Isn't it forbidden to become a sperm now? Before he finished his sentence, the vine's next move stunned everyone that even their jaws were about to fall, and they saw that the vine was actually struggling to slowly get up from the copper box, and at this time, I saw that there was an extremely ugly fat woman in the middle of the vine, with deep purple and no facial features, like an eight-legged spider, leaning on the tentacles of the vine and walking on the ground, the speed from slow to fast, towards Shen Yifan and the others.
The expert looked at it with another quip: "I'll go, spider spirit." Before the words were finished, the soles of the feet were already oiled and went to the heights, and everyone was running towards another mound like a swarm, and when they ran to another high slope, the vines seemed to have lost their direction, and they returned to the edge of the copper box, and all the tentacles stretched into the copper box, and lay dormant.
This time the expedition team was very embarrassed, because the place where the unknown vine was dormant happened to be the only way for them to go to Jumagou, and everyone saw the power of this strange vine, who would take another step.
At this time, the white light of the oriental fish belly has risen, and the sky is slowly brightening. Everyone rested under a slightly higher mound, Shen Yifan looked at the next plan in his heart, he was almost searching his stomach and thinking about what the strange vine was, the time passed quickly, and it was already afternoon after everyone hastily finished lunch, just when everyone had nothing to do, he heard a roar in the woods, Shen Yifan looked back and saw that those giant mosquitoes like black tornadoes were also coming as promised, They had to go towards Juemagou as if they were fleeing for their lives, because they were quite far away from Shen Yifan and the others, and there was no danger. Then the toad, which was like a mountain bag, also jumped over and kept heading towards the giant mosquito.
At this time, a strange scene was displayed in front of their eyes, and they saw that those giant mosquitoes did not fly in at the entrance of Jumagou, but formed a mosquito wall as high as the mountain of Jumagou at the entrance of Jumagou, blocking the entrance of the entire Jumagou tightly, and from a distance, it looked like a big black iron gate that was pitch black and shiny, and the giant toad wanted to break through the mosquito wall, hit it a few times to no avail, and began to spit out its long tongue, and began to wrap up the giant mosquito one by one. Those mosquitoes are also strange, no matter how swallowed by the giant toad, tens of thousands of giant mosquitoes flew from the woods, and more giant mosquitoes blocked the ditch tightly, just not wanting the toad to enter.
The scene in front of you is to see everyone sigh for a while, at this time, the pillar of the strange vine began to move again, those dark purple flowers are all in the direction of the Juma ditch, "La La" sound, and then the strange vine like an old woman rushed towards the Juma ditch, all the tentacles attacked the giant mosquito, it is also strange, those giant mosquitoes do not seem to be afraid at all, or blocking the entrance of the Juma ditch, batches of mosquitoes came to replenish the lost number, although the giant toad and the strange vine attack sharply, but the number of giant mosquitoes is endless.
After more than two hours, the toad seemed to be full, and he didn't have the heart to go to the Desperate Horse Ditch, and left in a huff, but the strange vine still didn't mean to stop, and countless tentacles were still attacking the giant mosquito, and the toad didn't seem to have anything to do with it, and returned the same way. Just after the toad left, the giant mosquito actually made an amazing move, they swarmed up and flew into the air with the strange vine, and then the black wind wrapped in the strange vine also headed towards the woods, and it was impossible to see the strange vine in the air, when the mosquitoes dispersed, there was actually a purple rain in front of Shen Yifan, the smell of this rain was extremely smelly, and the giant mosquito had already dispersed.
Shen Yifan and the others were amazed when they looked at this strange scene.
