Chapter 157: The Stone Pile
I don't know when a face suddenly appeared on the stone wall, but I remember very well that when Xiao Mao and I just climbed down, there was no face on the stone wall. This blurry, distorted face must have just appeared.
I immediately became nervous, Xiao Mao also hurriedly turned around and walked back, the two of them stood in place and did not dare to move for the time being, and looked towards the stone wall together.
The face on the stone wall was huge, almost a meter in diameter, and it was very blurry.
"Don't worry, take your time." Xiao Mao whispered to me, this is his experience, in this kind of strange and complex terrain place, once something goes wrong, you have to patiently observe clearly, and then find a way to solve it, if you don't solve it, it will cause more trouble.
The two of us scattered left and right, and slowly walked a few steps towards the stone wall, the face on the stone wall remained the same, and it was impossible to tell how the face appeared for the time being. When I was still four or five meters away from the stone wall, I suddenly noticed that the face on the stone wall seemed to be fluffy, as if strands of brown hair had grown out of the stone. The distorted and blurred face is formed by these furs.
When I saw these brown hairs, I felt like my feet were cramping, and the scene I had encountered in the Danmeng Basin a long time ago came to mind.
Before I could think any further, the clumps of fur on the stone wall popped out. Hundreds of such fluffy shops came, and with a single move, I directly pushed Xiao Mao aside.
I recognized that these clumps of fur were demonic worms that lived inside the stone. After being bitten by this bug, there will be serious sequelae. I was bitten by a demon insect when I was fierce, and it doesn't matter anymore, if I accidentally get bitten again, I don't think it will get worse. But Xiao Mao is different, I must not let him be bitten too.
"It's all bugs!" After I pushed Xiao Mao away, I took off my coat casually and grabbed the fur that bounced in front of me: "Don't be bitten!" ”
So many fluffy demon insects fell to the ground with a pop, and this thing was almost like a cang's ear, and it attached to it as soon as it touched clothes. I shook my shirt as hard as I could, and my feet were stomping back and forth on the ground.
Even though I had tried all my strength, I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my back and armpits, as if I had been pricked by a needle with numbing medicine.
It's a strange feeling, and I know that I'm sure I've been bitten by a demon bug again. It's just that at this time, it is difficult to ride a tiger, and if you are bitten a few times, you still have to fight hard.
Xiao Mao also took off his coat, his movements were sharper than mine, and his coat was thrown to the ground, covering a few fluffy demon insects, and he stepped on it. This kind of insect can be flattened by stepping on it, but there are too many of them, and the light is so dim, as long as you don't pay attention to being bitten, it will be a big trouble.
I don't know how many demon worms are attached to my body, but I hit back and forth for a while, and then there was another pain in my lower back. I held my breath and punched as if nothing had happened.
It took several minutes before and after, and this piece of demon worm was finally trampled on the ground. I felt uncomfortable all over my body, so I quickly took off all my shirts, and four or five more bugs came out of my clothes.
"Does it matter?" Xiao Mao didn't know the origin of the demon worm, and he didn't know what the consequences would be after being bitten by the demon worm, but he saw a few bugs turned out of my clothes, and he felt unsure.
"It's fine." I cleaned up my clothes and put them back on, saying that it was okay, but my heart was full of bitterness, and I was bitten by the demon worm a few times, and God knows if there would be any more serious effects.
Xiao Mao gave me a little external medicine, I knew that these medicines were useless, but they didn't break. When I finished applying the medicine, I walked ahead and looked at the stone wall.
This large area of demon bugs has jumped out, and there should be no other bugs. In this kind of place, if there is no sunlight, there can not be too much vegetation, and the demon insects can thrive in such a place, and I have to say that the vitality of this insect is quite tenacious.
"I've never seen a bug like this before, it's pretty good." Xiao Mao knocked on the stone wall with a steel drill, and after some beating, I found that the inside of the stone wall, which was about two or three square meters, was almost hollowed out.
It wasn't until we were sure that there were no more hidden demon worms that the two of us walked backwards away from the stone wall.
After only walking for a while, I felt a reaction from the bite of the demon worm on my body, and the flesh must have been swollen, and it was very swollen. In just ten minutes, a blister seemed to bubble around the wound on his back and waist. The first time I was bitten by a demon bug, I had such swelling that my ankle was swollen and I could roll up my trouser legs, but if my body was swollen, I couldn't do anything, and I felt that if I moved a little, the bite would be worn out by my clothes.
I didn't want Xiao Mao to know this, but I really couldn't stand it, so I had to take off my shirt again. Xiao Mao looked at the wound and immediately frowned, although he didn't know about the demon worm, he could see that the wound was very serious.
"It's okay, it's really okay." I quickly digressed the subject and said, "I've been bitten by this bug before, and the swelling will be fine after a while." ”
Xiao Mao didn't respond, he didn't know if he believed what I said, and after a while, he sighed and said: "I rarely ask you about things, because I know that everyone has their own privacy, but I really want to ask you now, what are you running around like this and risking all kinds of dangers?" ”
"For the sake of Lao Wang, and for myself." I trust Xiao Mao, and I believe that even if he knows all the secrets about me, he will not reveal them to anyone. I put my clothes lightly on my body, and while walking forward slowly, I told Xiao Mao about the changes that happened to Lao Wang and them.
Actually, I have no bottom in my own heart, because the clues I got from these actions don't seem to have anything to do with the face on the back of Lao Wang, so I keep tossing and turning, I really can't be sure if I can resolve Lao Wang's crisis.
But this is the only way I can go, maybe there is little hope, but there is always hope to go on.
"Maybe, we are the same, I have always hoped that the people I know can live well, including you and the top master."
The underground water system in this place is developed, the water vapor is heavy, and the temperature is very low, I put on my clothes like this, and after a while I feel cold, Xiao Mao put his coat on me, and I walked like this for more than twenty minutes, and a very small underground river appeared in front of me.
The river is very narrow and shallow, like a small ditch, and there are some relatively large stones scattered in the river, which can be crossed by stepping on the stones. Originally, I didn't have much confidence and certainty about the direction I was taking, but when I saw these messy stones, I felt that we should not make the wrong choice. These stones may seem cluttered, but someone must have deliberately placed them in the river to facilitate access.
The terrain on the other side of this small river is still so wide, the ground is relatively flat, and it is very clean. When the two of us crossed the river, we walked for less than ten minutes, and the light reflected a large black shadow in front of us.
I could tell it was a big pile of rocks. The mess of stones, too many to count, piled up into a stone mound of at least forty or fifty square meters, the stone mound is about three or four meters high, probably in order to make this stone pile, all the stones scattered around have been collected here, no wonder a large area on the bank of the river is clean, not even a small pebble.
The pile of rocks was obviously piled up by people, and I don't know what it is for. The Zhangzhung Dynasty disappeared so completely that there is very little information about it to later generations, and I don't know the customs and habits of the Zhangzhung people, let alone speculate on the significance of this stone pile.
But again, I believe that the Zhangzhung people will not do useless work, and since this stone pile is piled up, it must have its usefulness.
We looked around the stone pile, but we couldn't see anything, the stones were big and small, Xiao Mao tried to move a few pieces, and then turned to me and said, "If we keep working like this, maybe we can dig a hole here and see if there is anything under the stone pile." ”
"Then let's try it." I thought that since I was here, I would have to look carefully for anything noteworthy, and if the clues were missed, I was afraid that I would not have a chance to catch them again.
The two of them opened their arms and began to dry, the stones on the stone pile were not too big, they were smashed with a steel drill, and then they could be moved away in pieces.
It was physical work, and after doing it for a while, I felt that my body began to sweat, and when I sweated, it seemed that even the places on my back and back that had been bitten by insects did not hurt so much.
After working for a long time, we moved away at least 100 stones, several stones in front of me were superimposed on one, and they were stuck, I used a steel drill to insert into the gap of the stone, and pried it vigorously, but the steel drill was too short to make it hard, so I planned to pull it out and try it in another place.
But I tried a lot of effort and didn't pull the drill back, and it seemed as if it was stuck. Xiao Mao came to help, and the two of them worked hard, but the steel drill seemed to have taken root, and it still couldn't be pulled back.
This steel drill is both a weapon and a tool for self-defense, and I don't want to throw it away unless I have to. In desperation, the two of us could only slowly find a way to remove the surrounding stones.
It took twenty minutes to clean up the stones around the drill, but after all the stones were cleared, the drill still seemed to take root in the stones, and it didn't move.
At this time, the light flickered around the steel drill, and I immediately saw that under these stones, there was a broken blood pottery. The blood pottery must have been hit by an external force, and there is a hole in the mouth and chin that is embedded in the steel chisel impartially.
As soon as I saw such a blood pottery, I felt worried, and this scene was really terrifying, this broken blood pottery seemed to bite the steel drill, so that Xiao Mao and I spent the strength of our old noses, and we couldn't pull the steel drill back.
