Chapter 69: The Dragon-Patterned Stone Coffin

There are a lot of mosquitoes here, I was bitten several times as soon as I got out of the car, and the mosquitoes are all big mosquitoes with flower legs, and the bites are itchy and painful, they are very big, buzzing and flying without fear of people.

We smeared all the exposed areas of our bodies with insect repellent, which smelled terrible, but it was stronger than being bitten.

Lao Huang bought a big mountaineering bag, the mountaineering rope is still too heavy, he can only stuff two, we brought a lot of batteries, I have enough of the loss of no flashlight, these things are very heavy.

We also bought compressed beef this time, this thing is really hungry, the necessary medical kit lighter is indispensable, we simply can't fit so many things.

By the end of the day, each of us was carrying nearly 30 kilograms, and I only felt heavy on my legs and feet after walking a few steps, and if we kept walking, we would move as fast as a snail.

Brother Shen carried a lot of backs, but he didn't look tired at all, and he was also responsible for carrying the waterproof tent, looking like a scholar who carried all his belongings to catch the exam in ancient times.

The three of us were as eye-catching as light bulbs, and I thought it would be enough to keep a low profile, but in fact our outfit was the most eye-catching.

I thought there were only Han people here, but when I arrived, I found that there were many Yi people and Buyi people, and these were all seen on the village monument at the entrance of the village.

The weather was so hot and humid that I was already soaked after a few steps, and I couldn't wipe the sweat off my forehead, so I just let them flow, and my whole body was already soaked, which was not bad.

The insects in the mountains are very noisy, and the hot and humid weather makes people upset and unbearable.

"Mom/'s First Emperor is very good at finding a place, this is only this time in this life, even if there is a mountain of gold and silver, Lao Tzu will not come." Lao Huang kept chattering in the back, and I only felt more irritable.

Brother Shen didn't speak, but he was sweating like rain, the straps on his forehead were soaked, and the color became dull, but unfortunately the straps were quite thick, and I still couldn't tell if he had eyebrows.

I didn't dare to say anything related to the belt anymore, so I could only turn my attention elsewhere, leaving aside the heat and humidity and noise, this is actually a very beautiful place, surrounded by mountains and rivers, flowers and trees, like a paradise in the movie "Avatar".

We walked out of the village and along a path to the southwest, with high mountains on both sides, and we walked in a very narrow valley, and the mud under our feet was very wet, and it must have rained here.

I looked far away and saw a small village in the valley ahead, with its black roofs hidden in the thick woods.

"Brother God, where is the jade?" I asked again.

Brother Shen looked up to the southwest: "In the mountains, far away. ”

A sentence far away knocked me back to the original form, this trip is more uncomfortable than the one in Tibet, cold and high reaction can kill people, damp heat and mosquitoes can make life worse than death.

We were slow, and the small village seemed so close that we walked for nearly two hours.

The village is built in a valley, the terrain here is very distinctive, the valleys lead to all directions, separating the mountains one by one, most of the valleys are very narrow, occasionally a larger valley will build a village, these villages are often very small.

There is a stream running through this small village, and the stream comes from one of the valleys, and it disappears behind the mountains around the valley, and the vegetation is so abundant that I can't see its source.

There are only a dozen households in the village, and the path we took passed through the village, and we could walk from the head of the village to the end of the village in a few minutes.

I saw an old man sitting on a wicker chair under a tree at the entrance of the village, shaking a pu fan, which was an old banana fan.

He looked at us and seemed surprised that there was an outsider in the village, and he shouted at us, not in dialect, but with a very strong accent, and I pondered for a moment before I realized that he was asking us what we were here for.

"We're here for a picnic in the city." Lao Huang replied.

"Today's young people like to make something new." The old man muttered.

I smiled wryly, who would come to this kind of place for a picnic, although the scenery is good, feeding mosquitoes is always not a happy thing.

"Look, Osawa." I was about to move forward, but Brother Shen grabbed me.

Lao Huang and I followed his gaze and saw that there was a large stone trough outside the wall of this house, which looked as high as my waist and was more than two meters long, and the stone trough was close to the wall, filled with soil and climbing pumpkin vines.

The stone trough looked very heavy, and I saw a large round character carved in the center of it, with a distorted cloud pattern on it, and I felt that this character was familiar, but I could not remember what it was.

On both sides of the word, there are two dragon-like patterns, the pattern is tilted, it looks like two flying dragons soaring into the sky, these two flying dragons are composed of cloud patterns, only the head can faintly see the appearance of the dragon.

"It's the word 'longevity', and it's a stone coffin." Brother Shen said very surely.

Lao Huang's eyes were straight, I was also surprised, this stone coffin is a cultural relic from a long time ago, and it must be the royal family who can carve dragon patterns on the stone coffin.

But now it is in front of an ordinary family's house, and it has been filled with soil and planted with pumpkins, I don't know what it feels like in my heart, I am surprised, regretful, and a little want to laugh.

"Uncle, your vegetable pot is quite extravagant." Lao Huang shouted.

"Yo, the young man knows the goods," the old man stood up, "this is the stuff of the ancient Yelang King, and I am his descendant." ”

My heart is tight, Yelang is a mysterious country, it leaves very little information to future generations, only Yelang's arrogant idiom is talked about, Guizhou is Qianzhong County in Qin, but it is located in the wilderness, the tribes of ethnic minorities are very chaotic, there are almost no relevant records, only in recent years, archaeology has become popular slowly known.

Archaeological activities are all rescue excavations, the state will not take the initiative to dig graves, such a huge stone coffin is not stolen by tomb robbers, these villagers will not be stupid enough to move a big stone to grow vegetables, is this old man really related to Yelang country?

I hurriedly put this idea behind me, who would use a stone coffin to grow vegetables, and there would be no such rebellious descendants in the world, this old man may not know what this is at all, he is just a vessel.

But there must be something hidden here that we don't know, and beneath the lush vegetation of the mountains, there is probably a large cluster of burial mounds.

Has this grave keeper also cut off his children? My heart is sour, I am also the last person in my family, if I die, maybe Gu Yu's secret will be buried forever.

It's not easy for my family to hold on to the present, and the blood curse has been passed down from generation to generation, and I can't imagine how prosperous the family was in the past.

It's a pity that the family tree has long been broken, and my ancestor seems to have erased everything in the beginning in order to hide the secret of the ancient jade, and he moved to the remote mountains and passed to me, except for the blood curse.

"Yo, it turns out that he is still the descendant of the king, disrespectful and disrespectful."

Lao Huang shouted with a smile, he didn't look respectful at all, even I could see the lie, let alone Lao Huang.

"Uncle, is there a village ahead?" I asked, he didn't know the stone coffin, the road must have known.

The old man's face suddenly changed, and his originally smiling face suddenly became ugly, as if there was some taboo: "No, how can there be any village, you just change careers around here, and you won't be able to come back if you go far away and be fascinated." ”

This is all a live face-changing, there must be a problem, Lao Huang smiled: "Uncle, your face is not very good." ”

"It's hot, don't go far." As he spoke, the old man raised his feet and walked into the house, as if he was avoiding us.

If there is no problem, I will also bring up my heart, this trip will definitely not be as smooth as I thought.

As we walked along the road, I saw in the distance a woman in the middle of the village sitting by the stream of the laundry, she had been staring at us, and when I got closer, I could see her face, a woman in her thirties, with a spicy and capable appearance.

"Wait!" We passed by her, but she stopped us, "Are you going up the mountain?" ”

"yes, something?" Lao Huang continued.

"I heard what you just said, there is no village in front, the mountains are full of leeches, don't go."

"Eldest sister, we finally came out to play, don't spoil the fun, we have all smeared medicine, even if we are leeches, we don't have a move." Lao Huang replied.

The woman hesitated: "I see that you little brothers are handsome, it's not good to kill you, there is a village there, a flash flood the year before last was washed away, there is no one left, and no one will come back after that, you listen to my sister, don't go far." ”

Lao Huang stopped laughing: "Can your mountain still eat people?" ”

"Eat or not, the devil knows." She said, with a look of evasion.

It's normal for a flash flood to wash away the village, but it's not normal for people to go in and not get out, there must be unknown dangers hidden in this valley, I don't think there will be ghosts, how can there be so many evil under the blue sky and white sun.

But this is enough to alert us, I was originally in a very relaxed mood, but now she said that it was like pressing a boulder, and this place is beautiful, but it is not peaceful.

"By the way, eldest sister, just now the old man said that he is the queen of Yelang, is it really fake?" Lao Huang squatted down and asked.

"That old man is a coffin, what a descendant, he is a treasure, he doesn't listen to what others say, and he is in a hurry, it was fished in the back garden of his house, and there were mountain floods and mudslides here before, all of which were washed from the mountains."

"That's right, thank you."

Lao Huang stood up, and the three of us continued to move on, and the village was soon left behind by us.

The atmosphere is very heavy, this feeling of knowing that there is a tiger in the mountain is not good at all, the path is soon gone, there are weeds in front of me, these weeds are very lush, the high can grow to my chest, the road under my feet is very muddy, very difficult to walk.

My legs seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and the place where my back touched my backpack was like being grilled on an iron plate, and the air was so humid that the wind turned into water on my face.
