Volume 2 The Ancient Kingdom of the White Wolf Chapter 16 The Ancient Tower
Everyone walked in the heat of the day, and drank nearly half of the water in the past two days, and when they saw the spring, everyone felt that their mouths were dry, and I suddenly remembered the white wolf on the spring water in the book, and hurriedly stopped everyone from approaching the spring.
Although this book is thousands of years old, in this dangerous underground everywhere, it is still prudent to sail the ship of ten thousand years.
We stood and watched not far from the spring for a while, and after carefully looking at every corner to make sure that there was nothing that posed a threat to us, we walked cautiously.
This spring was artificially piled up out of a prescription well, drink a sip, only feel clear and sweet, no earthy smell, and the spring water is clear and clear, but it can be regarded as the best in the spring.
Tuesday Mao wiped the sweat on his face and said: "Ge Laozi, if you put a few more watermelons in it and eat them later, it will be very comfortable!" ”
After Mao said this on Tuesday, we suddenly felt that our saliva was about to flow out.
I said, "This water is good, let's fill it all up and leave." ”
So Zhao and Chen Yutian took the kettle to fill the water, and we sat on a big rock next to the spring and smoked.
Ma Bai changed Li Long's bandage again and wiped the wound, Li Long's mental state is fine today, although it is still painful, this kid is a hunter in the mountains after all, his physical fitness is the same as Tuesday Mao, he is more solid, and he can't bear the slightest pain and pain.
We were still joking about Tuesday Mao on our side, and suddenly there was an exclamation from there.
Immediately afterwards, I heard Chen Yutian shouting: "X, there's something in the water!" ”
We were taken aback by Chen Yutian, and I said, "What is it?" You're a big man, and you're a big man?! ”
Chen Yutian shouted: "Brother, water... There's someone in the water! ”
My head was big, and I suddenly felt that my stomach was turning upside down, and I saw that I was not the only one who reacted.
I got up and ran to the spring and asked Chen Yutian, "Where?" ”
Chen Yutian pointed to a place and said: "Right down here, when I was filling the water just now, I saw a foot at the bottom of the water... ”
I took the flashlight and looked into the water, and I was also shocked, this is the place of the spring, the spring water has been gushing out, the water has been moving, but a pair of feet can see very clearly.
I couldn't hold back any longer, and I threw up, almost without vomiting.
When the few people who came up saw that I had vomited, they also vomited into a ball.
When I finished vomiting, I thought carefully, there are only these three groups of people underground, who will be down here?
I resisted the spasms in my stomach and hurried back to the spring.
There may be a person who comes to the deep spring, so I decided to salvage someone to see what is going on.
I called Ma Bai, who was not injured, and Bai Yukun, another buddy, drank a few sips of liquor to keep out the cold, took off his clothes and went to salvage the people under the water.
The spring water at the bottom of the cave was so cold that I couldn't help but shiver.
We swam to the spring, my feet had already touched the people in the water, and the people at the bottom of the water were already stiff, so I took a deep breath, dived in, grabbed one foot and pulled it up.
At this time, Ma Bai and Bai Yukun also dived in, and we worked hard together, but we didn't pull it.
The water was gushing so hard that we couldn't keep our eyes open, so I let go of that foot, patted the two people next to me, and motioned for everyone to go out first.
On Tuesday, Mao saw us coming up empty-handed, and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter, Erwa, do you want me to come down and help?" ”
I said: "Your baby is still injured, so don't come down, Chen Yutian helped me throw the rope down, and it is estimated that the person is stuck in the crack of the stone." ”
Chen Yutian hurriedly threw the rope over, I tied the rope into a slipknot, and said to Chen Yutian: "Wait a minute, I'll tie that foot, let's pull the rope under the water, and you guys will pull it together on the shore." ”
After I finished speaking, I ordered Ma Bai and Bai Yukun to dive into the water again, I fumbled to tie the rope to that foot, and then pulled the rope, and we underwater people worked hard together, and this time we finally pulled.
It was too cold underwater, so I motioned for everyone to go up and pull it together.
Surfacing, Tuesday Mao on the shore grinned and pulled us, and when he saw us coming up, he said, "What the is this?" Why is it heavier than a cow? ”
We were already choking on the cold, so we quickly climbed ashore, and I said, "Pull it up, it's definitely not a cow anyway." ”
The seven of us worked hard together, only to hear a loud noise, and the "people" under the water were pulled out by us!
When I saw it, I was so angry!
What we pulled out turned out to be a bronze carved person, and it was a woman!
I sat down by the fountain speechlessly, and on Tuesday Mao scolded "! ”
Chen Yutian was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly said, "Brother, drink some wine, don't be cold." ”
I was a little speechless, so I took the bottle and took a few sips before I eased up a bit.
At this time, Tuesday Mao suddenly said: "Erwa, isn't this woman the woman in the brown book, look at her style!"
After such a reminder from Mao on Tuesday, I suddenly remembered that I took out the brown book from my backpack and compared it, this is indeed the shape of the woman in the Shibi Tujing, and even the shape of looking up at the sky is exactly the same, but when I fell into the water, I broke a leg and half of my head, and I didn't notice it when I came out of the water.
I circled around the statue and said, "Isn't this a figure carrying something?" ”
Several people came up to look at it, and they all nodded and said, "Yes, this is carrying something, and the thing must be relatively large, it should be carried by several people together." ”
Could it be that the brown book is a sketch of the statue that was built at that time? So what is this wolf looking at the sky?
I said, "No, I'm going to go down and touch it again to see if there's anything else in the spring!" ”
After saying that, I took a sip of wine, and walked to the water's edge, where the spring water gushed out a lot, and I couldn't see the water underwater, so I had to choose the place where I just went to the water.
I picked up the rope and groped for a long time in the river, until at last I stepped on something protruding under my feet, and I was so happy that I dived into the water and groped for a long time, and scraped a hard object in a pile of gravel.
I tied it up and went up to the shore for everyone to pull again, it was much lighter than the bronze statue I had just fished up.
It didn't take much effort for us to pull this thing out of the water.
I saw that the thing I pulled out was an oval object, and there were a lot of tentacles sticking out of it, and the place I just bolted was a tentacle.
When we looked under the flashlight, it turned out to be a model of a bronze boat.
It is carved with Wanqu envoys and Mayans, and this is the first time we have seen the actual appearance of the boat.
How did this thing get thrown into the water, and where did the rest go?
How many women carry a boat? Or is there a white wolf on it?
What kind of ritual is this?
I shone the light on the stone chamber, which was made of large bluestone, the upper floor had collapsed, but the bottom looked stable.
I found a place and climbed to the stone chamber above the spring to find out.
The stone room is not big, there is a fire pit in the middle, there is a sheep's horn on the ground, the Qiang people have always worshiped sheep, it is estimated that this thing used to be hung on the wall.
There was some furniture made of wood scattered around the corner, but when you touched it, it turned into dust and collapsed.
The most attractive thing is that there is an exaggerated bronze wolf head statue facing me.
The wolf bared its fangs, its eyes looked fierce, and the strangest thing was that there was a large circular depression on its forehead.
It looks a little abrupt.
At this time, Tuesday Mao and others also followed.
Tuesday Mao looked at the wolf's head and said: "The ancients liked to use these animals to scare people, and so did the white tiger of our Tujia family, which is terrifying when you look at it." ”
On Tuesday, Mao walked around the room and said, "There is not a single hair left, it's really boring." ”
I think this place is estimated that my uncle has also been here, this place is more obvious, I have passed through here, I guess they will come here to have a look.
I was about to leave, but Tuesday Mao looked at the wolf's head and said, "Why does this wolf have that big hole in his head?" ”
I shook my head and said, "Let's go, I guess it's worthless." ”
When I got out of the stone room, I was about to climb down the mountain wall when I suddenly found a wooden stake embedded in a stone wall.
I walked over curiously, only to see that a stone cave should have been dug out first, and then the wooden stakes were driven into the stone wall, and the plank road was also built on this principle.
I walked a little further along the stone wall, up to six places with embedded stakes, and on the other side, there were six equally symmetrical stakes.
If the stakes are still there, the chamber should be in the center of the stakes.
If the upper floor does not collapse, the stone chamber is the base of a high platform.
I opened the leather book, and saw that there were indeed a few thin lines recorded in this book, because the age was too long, and the thin lines were too thin, and the ink had fallen off a lot, and I really didn't observe it if I didn't look closely.
I took a closer look and found that there should indeed be a high-platform building here, and the boat and the bronze woman who fell into the water should be part of this high-platform building.
The woman was holding the boat, and these were just the bases of this high platform.
According to this analysis, what does this high platform do?
Does it have something to do with this spring or does it have to do with this wolf's head?
What is the round depression on the wolf's forehead?
I walked around the stone chamber, pondering these questions. If the second floor of this stone chamber does not collapse, there may be some clues.
After going around, it seems that all the clues have been broken again, and there should be water flowing here after the flash flood or the melting of the ice and snow on the snowy mountain, and over time, the outside of the stone chamber is already empty.
Back inside the stone room, Mao and the others had already jumped off on Tuesday. I was about to go down as well, and continue to look for the mark left by my uncle to join him and them, when suddenly a flash of inspiration occurred in front of me.
