Underground Yin Palace Chapter 206 Man-eating Stone
"Sister-in-law doesn't care about you just as much." I said.
"Don't mention it, that, you know to quarrel with me all day long, and I can't sit still when I go home." Tang Chop said.
"Are you too fierce?" I said.
"When I came home, my attitude was much better than that of the soldiers who treated me in the army." Platoon Leader Tang continued, with a slight incomprehension in his words......
"That's because you're not romantic enough, no matter how old a woman is, she likes romantic, talking men." I said as I climbed.
"You're not very old, but you know a lot. Okay, take the time to tell my brother more about the things between men and women. The soup platoon leader said after me.
"It's here, be careful." I grabbed the edge of the stone platform and said to the soup platoon leader.
This area in the center of the canyon is indeed independent, like a tall building rising from the deep valley, but behind it, there is actually a road connected to it, and this road also grows from below, and the whole looks like a key, but this road is very narrow, and the two feet cannot be together at the same time, and if you want to walk this road, you can only have one foot in front and one foot in the back.
The stone slabs under his feet were obviously man-made, and there were priestly stone tables and stone benches, which were located one by one in front of the four-headed man, and then on the edge, the stone slabs were scattered and broken, and it was obvious that these stone slabs still had a long extension, but they were now gone. It is likely to be caused by the collapse of the earth's crust as it moves.
But it is already a "miracle" that this altar can be preserved......
"I've searched all the way, why don't you see Xiao Gong?" The soup platoon leader said on the side, and then shouted: "Xiao Gong...... Xiao Gong ...... "There is still no response from Xiao Gong."
Staff Officer Qian on the other side asked, "Did you find anything?" β
"Except for the four-headed statues, it doesn't seem to be anything special, but there is a very narrow road behind here, and I don't know where it leads." The soup platoon leader said.
"Xiao Yang, did you find anything?" Staff Officer Qian asked.
"This place seems to be used for sacrifices." I said.
"What age is it possible?" Staff Officer Qian asked.
To be honest, although I know some antique identification, I only know some fur, and these four-headed portraits have a peculiar craftsmanship, and I can't tell which era it is a product from it, but it can be seen on the stone table and stone bench of this priest, it seems to be something from the Tang Dynasty. But I wasn't sure, so I told Counselor Qian what I saw and what I guessed.
At this time, Platoon Leader Tang said: "Brother Yang, I didn't expect you to have research on archaeology. β
"Where, where, just to read a book once in a while." I said.
"You can tell that these are things from the Tang Dynasty, this is not something that can be done by reading basic books, you must have a lot of books in your stomach......" Tang Platoon Leader said.
"I'm just guessing, and I can't confirm that this is something from the Tang Dynasty." I said, "Actually, it doesn't make much sense to know what dynasty it is, and these tables and chairs don't have much of value. β
"This table and chair is of little elaborate value, but don't these four people seem special?" Platoon Leader Tang asked.
"I really don't know what this is for, wait
Qian staff officer came over, maybe he knew. I said.
Platoon Leader Tang chatted with me while searching for any mechanism here, because he felt that Xiao Gong must have touched some mechanism to cause his disappearance, but no matter how he searched, there was still no result.
In the end, the platoon leader tried to walk along the narrow road, but I stopped him.
"Platoon Leader Tang, it's too dangerous for you to go over by yourself, and this matter needs to be discussed after the chief comes over." I grabbed the soup platoon leader.
"If you don't hurry up, I'm afraid that Xiao Gong is in danger......!" The soup platoon leader said.
"It's better than something happens to you again, right?" I said.
At this time, I only heard that Staff Officer Qian had already given the order to pass, and everyone else began to lie down on this side. What worries me the most is Fang Xirou, she has never experienced this before, and it is not easy for her to climb the rope with her bare hands.
"Xirou, can you climb it yourself?" I asked. Although she said that she could, I was still a little worried, but in the end, there was no danger, which made me look at her with admiration.
Staff Officer Qian looked at it here for a while, but he didn't find anything strange, and then a soldier walked up to the four-headed figure and took a closer look.
In fact, only three of these four heads resemble people, and the other one, the one facing us before, is a one-eyed man, and his eye grows on his forehead, and there seems to be something inlaid in it.
After asking Platoon Commander Tang if he had found any clues about Xiao Gong, Staff Officer Qian looked around again, he asked me how this was formed, and I told him what I had just guessed, and even this battle-hardened chief, after listening to my words, praised again and again: "The wisdom of the ancients is really unimaginable......
At this moment, someone suddenly shouted: "Oh no, Xiao Duan is gone!" β
"Yelling what? What's missing? There are so many of us, what are you afraid of? Platoon Commander Tang walked up to a soldier and said. The soldier looked a little flustered, not because the platoon leader was too fierce, but because he seemed to have seen something terrible.
Staff Officer Qian and I both walked over, and Staff Officer Qian asked, "Young man, what do you see?" Don't be afraid, speak slowly. Then he reprimanded the soup platoon leader for him.
The soldier trembled his hands, pointed to the four-headed figure just now, and said, "Just now Xiao Gong stood there, and in the blink of an eye, he ...... He's gone......"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Even if you are in danger, you should shout, right? None of us heard anything. The other soldiers said.
"It's simple, just report the number." The soup platoon leader shouted: "Xiao Duan! But no one spoke, and shouted again: "Xiao Duan! Small ......"
At this time, everyone really realized that Xiao Duan was really gone, and it disappeared quietly when everyone was not paying attention...... Someone said in the back: "Xiao Gong won't disappear like this...... This also ...... That's scary...... isn't it?"
"What's so scary?! Don't talk nonsense to me! Platoon Leader Tang said: "Lao Tzu really doesn't believe in this evil!" Then he asked, "You kid tell me specifically: why did Xiao Duan disappear." β
"Just ...... Just now when everyone was checking the situation here...... I inadvertently took a small look
Duan glanced at it, and he was stroking the four-headed figure. The soldier swallowed, then said, "The moment I opened my eyes again, the little segment was gone!" For the next two seconds, I thought I was wrong, but there was no sign of him! Then I shoutedβthe man is gone......"
Staff Officer Qian said: "You guys are optimistic about the surroundings. Then he called me, Platoon Commander Tang and a few soldiers to come to the four-headed figure, Platoon Commander Tang wanted to touch it, but I stopped him and said, "Platoon Commander Tang, it's better to be careful, it's best not to touch it." β
"Isn't this carved out of stone? Could it be that adults eat this stone? The soup platoon leader paused and said, "Even if this stone is eaten, then I will be this 'test subject', and you all follow me to see how it eats living people." β
Platoon Commander Tang's hand reached out to the stone again, and Staff Officer Qian said, "Xiao Yang is right, don't touch it!" But the platoon leader's hand had already touched the head of one of the stone statues.
"Ah~!" The soup platoon leader suddenly shouted.
"Lined up, what's wrong with you?" The soldiers panicked. Even Staff Officer Qian was taken aback, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to pull him, but in the blink of an eye, Platoon Leader Tang laughed and said: "I just shouted like this casually, just to tell you: there are no organs here, and there are no demons and evil spirits!" β
"Platoon, if you want to take a thought class with us, you don't need to use this trick......" said the soldier.
Staff Officer Qian said: "Your behavior is not feasible! Not an example! Having said that, everyone thought that this stone statue looked weird, but in fact it was just a stone, and one of the soldiers also stretched out his hand, but he was different - he touched the other head, and suddenly his face was shocked, and he forgot to raise his hand, and said: "Platoon commander, is the head you just touched warm?" β
"Warm? I think your head is warm! It's all stone, where will it be warm. Are you kid also frightened? As he spoke, the soup platoon leader stretched out his hand and said, "Take your hand away and let me try it." The platoon commander put his hand up, and after a few seconds, the other soldiers asked, "The platoon is here, how is it?" Does this stone heat up? β
"What bullshit heat? People just say it's warm, but it's a fever in your mouth? The soup platoon leader said.
"Then whether this stone is warm or not?" Staff Officer Qian asked.
"Report chief: This must be the boy who warmed the stone himself, where will the stone be heated." The soup platoon leader said.
"In line, I remember that there was a kind of stone that would heat up, and I forgot what it was......" said one of the soldiers.
"You're talking about the rocks of the crater, right?! People are natural; This is obviously artificially built, how do you say it heats up? Could it be that a generator was installed in it? The soup platoon leader said.
"Lined up, you don't believe you can touch its body - it's hot, too!" At this time, two curious soldiers had already stretched out their hands and said, "It's amazing...... This stone actually heats up! β
It is also strange to say: after touching three heads, only two were hot, and the other was cold, and when the platoon commander wanted to touch the fourth head, that is, the one-eyed head, suddenly a soldier shouted: "Chief, chief!" There seems to be a sound in this! β
