Chapter 17: The Ancient Beasts
The monster was surrounded by a thick fog, and the air flow was mixed with yellow and white water vapor, broken gravel, and rumbling thunder, and only the wings and the neck were raised high, and the skull was covered with steel hairs, and it was impossible to distinguish its facial features.
As the monster approached quickly, Shen Jinsan and the others almost gave up resistance, and they all stopped and waited for death to come, because it was rising too fast, and it was impossible to escape, so they had to choose to wait for the opportunity to move.
Guo Fatzi hurriedly took out a cigarette and smoked: "Hey! It's only more exciting! Just wait until I'm done with this last one! ”
Shen Jinsan was about to borrow his breath, he wanted to give it a go, he couldn't watch his companion die in front of his eyes, and before he could finish reciting the mantra, Wu Xin quickly climbed down and interrupted him.
"Don't be impulsive! It may not hurt it, don't die in vain! Wu Xin threw the dagger out and hit the monster on the back.
The dagger was firmly inserted, but like the two tiger Jiao, it gradually disappeared into the monster's body and disappeared without a trace.
Ah Zhen also released a green snake and threw it directly, and before the green snake could touch the monster, it was struck by lightning and turned into charcoal.
Suddenly, a loud noise came, and the monster seemed to be pulled by something, and it struggled in place, but it could not continue to rise for half a minute, and suddenly thunder and lightning were in the thick fog, and the wind was blowing, and the whole ladder was shaking.
The moment the lightning split through the thick fog, everyone saw it clearly, and the two thick black chains were tightened, firmly locking the monster's hind legs.
Shen Jinsan yelled: "Run!" This guy is locked up! ”
"You're rewarded!" Guo Fatzi flicked the butt of his cigarette into the air and began to run for his life like a monkey.
It seems that the instigator of the occasional turmoil in this pit is this monster, and for some reason and who locked it here.
The monster had no choice but to stop struggling, it slowly leaned against the earthen wall on the side, its body gradually sank into the dirt, and it actually merged into the surrounding area, and finally disappeared into the earthen wall, at this time the dense fog and wind gradually disappeared, and the whole pit returned to peace.
Finally picked up a life, turned over and got out of the hole, returned to the Sun God Palace above, hurriedly covered the wooden plank, pressed the stone platform back on it, and the four of them went up the stairs to the second floor of the small building to rest.
Sitting on the dusty bench, everyone took out the kettle to quench their thirst, and the room suddenly heard a lot of noise, because the kettle is the kind of stainless steel used in the military, and the lid is hung on the body of the kettle by a rope.
The four of them were all amused by themselves, which can be regarded as self-decompression, releasing the remaining fear in their hearts, the creatures under the palace of the sun god are really incredible, the legendary sun god, the tiger Jiao in the ancient book, and the unknown creature, these do not seem to be what should exist on the earth.
Guo Fatzi slapped his hands on the table violently, he raised his head and sighed: "Alas! ~ I didn't expect to come out alive! You say, how can there be so many strange things here, what is the origin of that winged, furry monster? Shen Jinsan, you read a lot of books, have you ever heard of it? ”
"My cigarette is gone, do you have any left?" Shen Jinsan stretched out his hand to ask Guo Fatzi for a cigarette, and after taking the cigarette, he thought for a moment and said, "Have you ever heard of the 'Four Murderers of the Ancients'? ”
Guo Fatzi: "What four breasts?" Is there a ranking for this thing? ”
Ah Zhen shook her head, Hei Miao has lived in the mountains for a long time, and she has never gone to school, even when she came to Hangzhou, it was the old man Shi Yong who sent someone to escort her all the way.
"You mean gluttony, poverty, chaos? There's another one I forgot what it was. Wu Xin seemed to know a little.
Shen Jinsan: "That's right! During the Yaoshun period, there were four fierce beasts on the mainland, namely gluttony, poor qi, chaos and 梼杌, not to mention the others, let's talk about chaos, "Divine Strange Sutra" said that there is a strange beast called chaos in the west of Kunlun, it has wings to fly, it has hair all over its body and looks like a bear, it has a head but can't see the seven orifices, and everywhere it falls into chaos, everything can not be recognized, and the thing we encounter is not very similar? ”
Guo Fatzi: "When you say that, I also remember, it seems that I have seen such a novel somewhere." ”
Wu Xin: "But Chaos, one of the four fierce beasts, how could it be locked in such an unknown pit?" ”
Shen Jinsan: "The Classic of Mountains and Seas also has an introduction to similar animals, but the name is Dijiang, the location where it was found is the Tianshan Mountains, folklore chaos does not distinguish between good and evil, very powerful, but each of the seven holes will be weakened by a few points, there is a saying, it has died after giving birth to the seven holes, but according to some records of the Warring States period bamboo slips unearthed in modern times, the four murderers were subdued by the Huaxia tribe and Miao Man respectively, and the chaos was taken away by Miao Man. ”
Guo Fatzi: "It's too mysterious, it's more exaggerated than the novel, I always thought it was a mutated zombie." ”
Wu Xin: "Where did you come from so many varieties of zombies, that thing is alive, without a little yin." ”
Shen Jinsan: "Ah Zhen said, the sun god called me a fellow clansman, asked me to take him back, judging from the situation of "Jiuli Zhi" and Maoyan Cave, Jiuli culture is likely to originate in Liangzhu, I have a bold idea, is there an unknown space on the other side of the weak water under the palace, imprisoning chaos here, maybe to resist creatures that cross from another world, such as tiger Jiao, and the ladder is a bridge connecting each other, ah Zhen, what do you say? ”
"Wait! Don't even speak! Wu Xin suddenly stood up and made a silent movement: "Do you feel that the house is shaking?" ”
Guo Fatzi: "Let's go!" It looks like an earthquake! ”
The whole building shook violently, and the amplitude became larger and larger, and the cabinets inside creaked, and several people rushed out of the door, and jumped down the iron escalator after a few steps.
The steel bars and asbestos tiles on the roof were all extruded and deformed, and some fell directly and smashed to the ground, and there were many cracks in the ground and buildings, and they continued to spread and expand, and everyone hurriedly ran out of the fence and rushed into the forest to avoid danger, "boom", and the earth trembled more violently, and the noise seemed to be mixed with wailing.
The ground caved and opened a large hole, and several white rays of light shot out from it, and the surrounding buildings, including many large trees nearby, fell inward, and all fell into the hole, burying the palace of the sun god and the pit forever.
After being safe, the four of them stayed in the forest and panted and looked at the small building, the white light gradually disappeared, everything returned to calm, only the ruins remained, fortunately it was late at night, otherwise I really don't know how much noise would be made.
Guo Fatzi: "You say, is the white light emitted by the sun god?" Could the earthquake also be his name? ”
Wu Xin: "You go over and have a look on our behalf!" ”
Shen Jinsan: "Okay! Don't pursue this kind of thing, dust to dust to dust, it's better to be buried, we should also go back, we will go around the point later, our appearance is easy to be mistaken for tomb robbers. ”
"Damn! Aren't we? Guo Fatzi took out a piece of white Liangzhu ancient jade with a pattern engraved on it from his bag and showed it to Shen Jinsan: "How is this thing?" ”
"Such a good thing! Where did you get it? Shen Jinsan was taken aback, this piece of ancient jade is slightly larger than the palm of his hand, the whole body is porcelain bone white, one side is smooth and smooth, and the other side is engraved with complex and exquisite patterns, it is a typical sacrificial ritual vessel, since the state issued the Liangzhu protection order, Liangzhu ancient jade is not something that can be obtained casually.
Guo Fatzi smiled evilly: "Hey, hey, hey! When I checked the statue, it got stuck in the dirt and peeked out, so I dug it up. ”
"Save it!" Shen Jinsan handed the jade back to Guo Fatzi: "This thing is rare, it has been ossified, if you play more games, it will change back to its original appearance, you must not take it to the market, Liangzhu ancient jade cannot be circulated, and it will be caught." ”
Guo Fatzi: "How much can it be worth?" ”
Shen Jinsan: "If you trade on the black market, at least two or three hundred thousand!" ”
Wu Xin: "It's so valuable!" ”
Shen Jinsan: "The real value is far more than that! In fact, there were a lot of Liangzhu ancient jade in the past, farmers can dig out a few pieces of land casually, when I was a child, Lao Shen took me to the teahouse to see the world, there are many Liangzhu farmers will take some in exchange for money, a few cents and a few pieces are not expensive, but the fat man has such a rare hand, it should belong to the heavy weapon. ”
"I also picked up a piece in my bag!" Wu Xin smiled and prepared to turn it out.
Shen Jinsan: "Don't, go back and show me again, you can really pick it up, there were so many treasures at the bottom of the valley at that time, why don't you go along with it!" ”
"At that time, there was a bunch of beasts behind the buttocks, and it was too late to escape, who had the kung fu to take the sheep easily!" Guo Fat Man smiled evilly again, he scratched his scalp: "Hehe! However, I took a few pieces and put them at home, and when the time comes, I will ask Chen to help me exchange them for money! ”
"You really can! I don't have to do the tea business, you can rob the tomb professionally, and if you go in the future, I will come to the cage to see you if I have the chance! Shen Jinsan was also speechless, Guo Fatzi is really a thief.
Although there was a bit of ridicule, the atmosphere was quite relaxed, but Shen Jinsan's heart was turbulent again, and he felt that the closer he got to the truth, the more bizarre and dangerous he had to face.
It is said that there is no truth in history, and all dynasties and generations often erase everything from the previous dynasties in order to praise themselves, leaving too much confusion in ancient times, and Shen Jinsanzheng unconsciously took his companions to gradually step into the whirlpool of history, and what kind of shocking secret will be revealed.
Back in Longjing Village, the sky was already bright, Guo Fatzi went back to his house first, he wanted to clean up and come over, the strange thing is that the door of Shen Jinsan's house was not locked, pushed the door in, the house was dark, and Wu Zhengyi was not seen, and it was estimated that he was still sleeping in the room.
When he came to the study, he found a note pressed under the ashtray on the desk, and when he picked it up and looked at it, Shen Jinsan was shocked.
This was written by Wu Zhengyi to them, and there were only a few simple sentences written on it:
"The phone doesn't work, the incident happened suddenly, I'll reply to Jurong first, you guys hurry up, Wu Zhengyi."
Shen Jinsan handed the note to Wu Xin, and Wu Xin knew at a glance that it was his father's handwriting: "It was written by my father, something important must have happened, he should have returned to Maoshan, should we rush over now?" ”
"No, I'm too tired, I still have injuries on my body, I have to take a rest, you and Ah Zhen go to sleep for a while, and we'll leave in the afternoon." Shen Jinsan originally wanted to ask Ah Zhen about what she said under the cat's eye hole, but now it seems that he can only find another opportunity.
