Volume 2 The Ancient Kingdom of the White Wolf Chapter 18 Zhuang Ziyun

We hurriedly looked up, and saw a man in black attached to the cave wall like a spider on the top of the cave wall, and threw an incendiary bomb at the ant colony.

The man in black had no ropes or anything like that, and the stone walls around him were very smooth, so I don't know how he could stick to the cave wall with one hand with both feet.

Seeing that most of the ant colony has been wiped out, there are not many left.

The man stopped throwing Molotov cocktails.

A little light on the wall of the cave floated down from the wall and landed right in front of us.

The man was in his forties, dressed in a black robe. With a big leather bag on his waist, he smiled and arched his hand at us: "It's late, it's late, it's such a dangerous scene." ”

I hurriedly arched my hand towards the man in black and said, "Thank you uncle for saving your life!"

The visitor smiled: "You don't know me, do you?" ”

I was stunned for a moment and said, "Uncle, who are you..?" ”

The man in black said: "Haha, no wonder, you were in the cave that day, we saved you, you can't move or speak." ”

I immediately remembered that day under the bronze sacred tree in Changliu Mountain, after my uncle's people rescued me, they came to the cave where I was temporarily camped, this person seemed to have seen it, but it was not as profound as Du Wang.

I smiled and said, "Thank you Uncle for rescuing me that day!" ”

The man in black waved his hand and smiled: "With a lot of effort, why worry about it, I really can't see it, you kid is still powerful, and it is not an ordinary person who can come out of those few gas gathering platforms." ”

I said, "I don't know my uncle's surname yet." ”

The man in black said: "My name is Gu Zhonghan." is a student of your uncle Chen Congxian, so you don't have to be polite. ”

I thanked, "Hello Uncle Gu! ”

Gu Zhonghan saw that the ants were almost burned, and said, "Mr. Chen, they are waiting for us at the entrance of the cave." Let's go over now. ”

We jumped off the rubble, stepped over the corpses of the ants, and came to the entrance of the cave, where we saw my uncle.

When I looked at this group of people, there were eight people in total, but there was no Lin Xia, and I couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

The uncle helped his glasses, stepped forward in a hurry, and said with concern: "Second baby, are you okay?" ”

I hurriedly saluted and said, "Everything is fine, thank you uncle for the rescue." ”

Uncle waved his hand and said: "We also stayed by the spring for a few hours to repair, there is no problem, we have already gone to the cave, how do you know that the road behind is too complicated, I am worried that you will not be able to go, thinking that you should have entered the cave, so I will come to meet you." I didn't expect to meet you here. ”

I sighed, "It's a long story... "So I told us how to enter the cave, because of the cracking of the astrological disk, and strayed into the dragon cave, from the dragon found a piece of jade, how Du Wang rescued us, let us walk along the mark, how to meet the snow pig rubbed off the mark, into the stone room of Shibi, the evil fighting giant ape, and came to this spring, accidentally found that the jade bi turned out to be the mechanism that opened the staff in the wolf's mouth, and then it may be Tuesday Mao forcibly broke out the jade bi and touched the mechanism, causing a large number of ants to gush out of the stone room, The incident that almost killed Huangquan was told to his uncle in detail.

After hearing this, the uncle also had palpitations, and said, "You boys are still blessed with great fortunes, if we had arrived a few minutes late, you would have become piles of white bones by now." ”

I asked, "What the hell is this ant, and why is it so big?" ”

Uncle said: "This is not an ordinary ant, this should be a man-eating ant." It is the most ferocious of the ants, these ants are easy to deal with individually, but this thing is very gregarious and not afraid of death, and when it comes like an army, one after another, it climbs fast, and does not get overtaken.

Not to mention people, no matter how fast the beasts were running, they were also frightened when they saw these ants. As long as the striker catches up, no matter how fierce and thick something will be bitten to death by it, whatever way you want to kill it, this side has not been killed, and that side has flown up, biting the body and not retreating.

How can we take care of our hands and feet? If it weren't for luck, Lao Yuan saw a black tide coming from the ground in front of him, and saw that it was this monster, so he quickly took a detour and escaped, and he might still be able to survive. It was touched a little, and the one behind it immediately surged wildly, and in a blink of an eye, the whole body was covered by it, and the whole body became black, only listening to the sound of a cockroach, and fell to the ground into a pile of white bones. ”

We had just experienced such a thrilling scene, and when we listened to my uncle's explanation, we couldn't help but feel a chill on our backs when we thought about the scene where our whole body was crawled with ants and then fell to the ground.

A person next to him said: "Lao Tzu came in and smelled the smell of happy grass, after this thing is dried and ground into powder, it attracts this kind of ant the most." This happy grass is generally produced in our side, as well as in the deep mountains and old forests of Yunnan and Guizhou, and I don't want this kind of thing to be in this snow-capped mountain. ”

This man was about 60 years old, dressed in a Tujia homespun cotton suit, leather boots, a dry tobacco pouch stuck in his waist, only a little sparse hair on his head, a large earring on his ear, but his eyes were shining, and he was not an ordinary person at first glance.

Uncle said: "There is an inextricable connection between here and Wuling Mountain, and it is not strange that there is happy grass, but what is that high platform for?" ”

I took out the staff, handed it to my uncle, and said, "This is the staff." ”

Uncle took the staff and looked at it, handed it to the young man next to him, who was not much older than us, and said, "Shilin, look at this." ”

The young man named Shilin took the staff, looked at it carefully for a long time, and said, "This staff should be bronze inside, and the outside is wrapped with cylindrical gold leaf. Uncle Chen, you see, the upper end of this golden scepter is engraved with four wolves facing each other, with a phoenix soaring pattern in the middle, and the tail is a figure wearing a five-toothed high crown. ”

This kid did look more closely, but we have all seen Wanqu envoys and statues, so we are no strangers to this staff.

The young man continued to look at the staff, and suddenly stopped at the head of the staff.

The young man crouched down, lightly touched the staff's head with his fingers, and pondered for a moment.

Then he turned the staff upside down and looked at the tail.

We all gathered around the young man in amazement, not knowing what kind of medicine was sold in this kid's gourd.

The young man flicked the tail of the staff with his fingers, shook his head, and continued to flick upwards, listening to the sound of the staff with his ears as he played.

When he had reached the middle of the staff, the young man stopped, took the staff and turned it around a few more times, and pondered it for a while.

Suddenly, both hands twisted in the opposite direction, and Ermao and I both groaned, thinking that this kid was going to destroy the staff, so he wanted to grab the staff.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, a strong beam of light came out from the head of the scepter.

We were both surprised and surprised, but we didn't expect this kid to find out the secret of this staff as soon as he fiddled with it, and we couldn't help but look at this kid a little differently.

This young man named Shilin glanced at us and said with a smile: "Little brother, don't worry, this thing is a rare treasure in the world, and it is too late for Shilin to love it, so how dare you destroy it." ”

Ermao and I both retreated awkwardly, and I waved my hands embarrassedly and smiled: "It's nothing, it's nothing." ”

Uncle smiled and said: "Dongliang, this is my best friend Mr. Li Fengyu's beloved son Li Shilin, Mr. Li Fengyu is my classmate and friend who studied in the UK, you can rest assured." ”

I smiled and said to Li Shilin: "It was abrupt just now, how offended!" ”

Li Shilin smiled: "It's okay, it's okay." According to the records of the Huayang National Chronicles, the Book of the King of Shu, the Shu Kingdom successively had silkworm cong, baiguan, yuyu, duyu, enlightened and other clans to establish a ruling dynasty.

However, the tribes in this Kang area are too complicated, and most of them are tribes founded by the nomadic Qiang people from the northwest.

My grandfather once got a bronze tripod from an ancient tomb in the upper reaches of the Min River, and the shape of the wolf on this pattern was almost exactly the same as the shape on the tripod.

The worship of wolves first came from the Rong people, and the records of Yi, Man, Rong, and Di were assigned to the east, south, west, and north, and the earliest seemed to be in the book of "Mozi", and later we Han people were used to thinking that Dongyi, Nanman, Xirong, and Beidi were proper names.

Actually, it's not, just like the golden scepter we see, Dongyi and Xirong are actually related.

There are obviously a lot of Xijon genes among the Yi people. The period of this intersection is the Qin period.

However, the totem of the phoenix obviously comes from the Central Plains culture, and the shape of the phoenix should be between the middle of the Warring States period and the Han Dynasty, so it is comprehensively judged that the period of this staff is most likely to be from the late Warring States period to the end of the Qin Dynasty. ”

This Li Shilin is indeed a bit erudite, and he roughly judged the time of this staff.

I asked, "And what is this golden scepter for?" ”

Li Shilin said: "The scepter is generally a symbolic object, representing a kind of status. ”

Li Shilin returned the scepter to me and continued: "The rise of the White Wolf Yi is extremely strange, a small tribe that lives on water and grass suddenly becomes extremely powerful overnight, and gradually conquers the surrounding powerful tribes and establishes the White Wolf Kingdom, whose borders cover the entire southern part of Kang District, Yazhou, and northern Yunnan, which is very incredible. ”

The uncle asked, "What do you mean by the virtuous nephew..." ”

Li Shilin said: "Just like the meaning expressed by the statue of the Wanqu envoy when we came in from the valley, the Wanqu people actually intervened in Middle-earth very early, and not to the Qin people, the Wanqu envoys only arrived in Middle-earth at that time, and the Wanqu people hid this truth from the First Emperor. ”

Li Shilin paused and said, "And the Wanqu people represent not the civilization of our Central Plains, nor the civilization of the Mayans, but from a civilization that is higher than this planet. I still have that opinion, Wanqu people may not be earthlings at all. ”

Li Shilin's inference made me feel a little unbelievable, and asked, "You mean that the Wanqu people came from heaven?" So what is their purpose? ”

Li Shilin shook his head and said: "Zhuang Ziyun: Those who have truth but no place, Yu Ye; There are those who have long but no roots, and they are also. The universe is so big, it is definitely an established fact that there are new civilizations outside the sky, but now there is too little evidence for me to analyze what they are trying to do. And why did they all disappear so without a trace? ”
