Chapter Eighty-Eight: A Stone in a Pit
From where they stood, the largest stone at the bottom of the pit looked like it had eyes, nose and mouth, wasn't it a human head?
Chen Xiaodonkey saw that Zhang Wat also said the same, knowing that this was not an illusion, and ran around half a circle to the front without believing in evil, and the front side could be seen more clearly, but it was not as realistic as the side view, only a general shape. The eyes they saw weren't really eyes, but they just protruded a little from the boulder, so when viewed from the side, it seemed that the frontal and eyebrow bones were relatively high, and when the shadows were hidden, it made people think that there were two eyes underneath.
Chen Xiaodonkey was immediately happy when he saw this situation, "This deflated calf, feng shui is the feng shui of the demon bureau, could it be to cultivate this stone into essence?" It's still a primitive kind. ”
"What primitives?"
"Well---- forgot, you haven't read those books, it's just evolution---- you can't say it clearly, in short, it's the kind of human ancestors."
Last year, I met Peking University in Shanghai, and said that it was a newly established archaeological team under the Department of History, and before leaving Shanghai to return to Beiping, I gave him a book that had not yet been published, and there were many interesting things on it, including the fact that I found a primitive human skull a few years ago, and a group of masters continued to restore the skull, and finally restored a face between orangutans and modern humans, and the book was also illustrated.
However, when Chen Xiaodonkey was about to speak, he thought that it was useless and didn't know these things that were very advanced.
The two of them touched around for a while, Zhang Wat seemed to have suddenly discovered a new world, and called Chen Xiaodonkey to a standing stone next to him, and the flashlight shone on the relatively flat side, and said strangely: "Do you see if this is engraved with words?" ”
There are some depressions in the stones, I don't know how long ago they were chiseled out, and I can barely see the traces of horizontal and vertical skimming, but the edges have been almost eroded by the wind and rain, and many places have been blurred.
"It seems to be." Chen Xiaodonkey pasted it and looked at it for a while, but he couldn't see what was engraved, and he stared at the traces of a place for a long time, and only barely restored a cursive prefix.
When the two of them discovered this, they looked at all the large and small stones nearby, and except for the largest boulder, there seemed to be nothing on it, and the others had more or less handwriting on them.
"It's useless, you said that this is engraved on it, it can't be some kind of visit here or something, right?"
Chen Xiaodonkey's brain was open, but he didn't care very much, the caves on the pit wall were obviously dug out by hand, and it was not strange that someone here had been here.
The two went back to the cave, Jia Xibei saw the injury on Zhang Hu's hand at a glance, found a roll of bandages and threw it to him, frowned, and said, "Why is it still injured?" ”
"The road is slippery and falls." Zhang Wat shook his head, and he didn't blink his eyes when he lied, especially with his bland expression, it was more real than the truth.
Chen Xiaodonkey saw that the three of them were still chatting hotly about poker, as if they were talking about this sinkhole, and asked, "What are you talking about?" ”
"No fight, no fight." Cao Hou threw the card, ran over to see Zhang Wat's injury, and said: "Mr. Jia said that the sinkhole we are staying in was smashed out of an extraterrestrial meteorite in the Ming Dynasty, and it is estimated that it is the deepest stone at the bottom of the pit. ”
Extraterrestrial meteorites? Chen Xiaodonkey was stunned. Although looking at this circular sinkhole, he also had similar thoughts, but he always felt that it was a bit unlikely, how could he guess the truth? He looked at Jia Xibei, and Uncle Jia nodded: "It should be like this, eight or nine are not far from ten." ”
Chen Xiaodonkey was suspicious: "So sure? ”
"See for yourself." Jia Xibei smiled, didn't talk nonsense, took out two books from his bag and threw them to him, one is called "Ming Jiaxing Mansion Chronicles", and the other is "Ming Shanghai County Chronicles".
The two books were folded corners, Chen Xiaodonkey turned to the position at once, "Jiaxing Mansion Chronicles" recorded the four years of Ming Chongzhen, that is, an incident that happened in Jiaxing in 1631, said that in the ninth day of September in the fourth year of Chongzhen, within the jurisdiction of Jiaxing Mansion, all saw a white rainbow through the sun, there was a big star falling on its mountain, the loud noise made the cows, horses, dogs and animals tremble on the ground, the head could not be raised, there were tremors in a radius of 100 miles, the prince thought it was auspicious, and the people played Beijing to show the emperor's merits. ’
And in that "Shanghai County Chronicle", it is also mentioned that there is a "big star falling from the mountain", which is similar to the record of "Jiaxing Mansion Chronicle", but in addition, the county chronicle said something that is not in the government chronicle, but it is relatively later, saying that on the day of Laba in the fourth year of Chongzhen, there was a group of envoys who rushed to Shanghai from Beijing City to Shanghai with the emperor's order, and there was also a group of "obscene looks, not like living people, This group of people then went from Shanghai to Jiaxing, drilled into the Jiulong Mountain, and did not come out of the mountain until the autumn solstice of the fifth year of Chongzhen, more than 200 people entered the mountain, and less than 50 came out, and it is rumored that these people in order to find the fallen star, in the Jiulong Mountain with complex waters, through the mountains and many waterways.
It stands to reason that such a thing should not be recorded in the county annals, and the reason why it was recorded was because strange things happened later, and there was even a lot of panic in Shanghai County at that time.
At that time, after those strange people with the emperor's orders came out of Jiulong Mountain, the county magistrates of Shanghai County held a banquet to see off these envoys, but within a few days after those envoys left, the people who had contact with them, whether it was Xiaomin or the government officials, and even the county commander himself, began to have strange things on their bodies - old for no reason, first bleeding from the seven orifices, followed by loose teeth falling out, and in the last few days, the whole body was full of wrinkles, shrinking and dying. The wandering priests who had passed by examined the bodies of those men, saying that they had fallen under the Celestial Curse.
"It's too fucking mysterious!" Chen Xiaodonkey closed the book and threw it back, and said to Jia Xibei: "Uncle, you are well prepared, and you haven't even let go of these books." ”
"These are the basics, boy, you're still too tender."
"How can you compare to a veteran like you?" Chen Xiaodonkey smiled, suddenly thought of the situation he found when he scratched the hole, and said: "According to this, the ghost scratching hole was dug out by those people?" But digging holes through the mountains, I'm afraid that 200 or so people are not enough, what are the identities of those people? ”
Jia Xibei was surprised: "Do you see that the water hole was dug by someone?" Hehe, if there were more than 200 ordinary people, they would definitely not be able to get it, but I suspect that those people are old-timers, and nine times out of ten they are top masters. ”
Chen Xiaodonkey nodded, which made perfect sense, and asked again, "What is this Heavenly Realm Curse?" How could people die so miserably? Who else got out of the mountains alive, and why were there so many casualties? None of this makes sense. ”
"Only God knows."
Seeing his uncle shaking his head, he was a little disappointed, and he still thought that he could hear something from his mouth. After all, according to Zhang Wuye, what is in the tomb of the Xiaofoling Immortal is a statue of a female king made of meteorites outside the sky, and that thing still left such a deadly thing on him.
Playing cards again, Chen Xiaodonkey said: "Just now I and Don't go to the bottom of the pit to see, I found something, the largest stone looks a bit like a human head, and the small stone planted next to it, it seems to be engraved with words, but I can't see it clearly, it is estimated that it was left by those predecessors who found this place back then?" ”
"Head? Word? Jia Xibei frowned, thought for a while, and said, "Idle is also idle, take me down to have a look." ”
Chen Xiaodonkey shrugged.
Cao Hou and Pei Luo Dazhu were playing cards, the three of them stayed in the cave, Fang Gu and Uncle Jia wore a raincoat, and Zhang Hu also had to follow, this goods is now an injury again, Chen Xiaodonkey can only be drenched in the rain, and the four of them went to the bottom of the pit together.
Jia Xibei stared at the boulder for a while, then pulled out his knife and cut it a few times, except for scraping off the most surface layer of ash, not even a trace was left.
"Grass grandma, this thing really looks like a human head, the knife has not left a trace, it seems that this is the meteorite that did not run away, little donkey, which stones did you say have words engraved on them?"
Chen Xiaodonkey said: "Yes, all on the side of the plane, but they can't see clearly." ”
