The Stone Man of the Western Regions The Stone Man of the Western Regions Chapter 9: Duan Yu
The scorpion's voice was not particularly loud, but rather abrupt.
However, in the cave passage, where the needle would echo when it fell to the ground, his voice was like a brake on the fat man's feet, and immediately stopped him from moving on.
"What's wrong?"
The fat man who stopped asked the question we all wanted to know.
"You'll be able to see the Prairie Stone Man in advance!"
The scorpion said a little inexplicably.
At first I was a little puzzled by what he said, but when I saw clearly the scene in front of us, probably in front of the fat man, I understood what he meant.
I saw that in the wall one meter in front of the fat man, there was a stone statue.
The broad round face was larger than the fat man's big fat face, a pair of protruding slender eyes under the high cheekbones, and two beards carved into the upper lip.
The body is carved with a large lapel and a wide belt around the waist. Hidden in the wall from the waist down, I don't know if the carver did it on purpose, or if he forgot to carve the legs of the stone statue.
The stone man's face was very serious, as if a mighty soldier was patrolling the surrounding grassland.
"This is the Prairie Stone Man? How does it look like a foreigner? ”
Yiyi stood in front of me and asked with a flashlight like a stone statue.
Of the four of us, only the scorpion had been to the Altay steppe and had seen the steppe stone people.
Therefore, for Yiyi's questions, the scorpion patiently introduced to her:
"These steppe stone figures were carved by the ancient Turks in their own image. According to legend, after the death of Turkic soldiers, such statues would be erected outside their tombs. As for the number of statues, it is based on the number of enemy soldiers killed by the soldier during his lifetime. The more there are, the more courageous he is during his lifetime! ”
"Then there are steppe stone people here, could it be that we are in a Turkic tomb?"
I asked.
As soon as I finished asking, I felt Yiyi in front of me take a step back from my position.
"What's wrong, senior brother?"
It turned out that the fat man and the scorpion took a step back together, as if they were afraid of something.
Hearing Yiyi's question, the fat man didn't respond, just looked back at the scorpion.
"What do you see?"
The scorpion opened his mouth and asked the fat man.
"It's a living statue!"
The fat man replied.
When I heard the words "living statue", my scalp suddenly went numb. Yiyi, on the other hand, moved closer to my position again, obviously flustered.
"I saw the stone man's eyes move just now!"
The fat man spoke his grounds. The scorpion nodded in agreement. The stone man's eyes moved, which should be the reason for the two of them to retreat.
"Why, is there some living creature hidden in it?"
Yiyi asked in a trembling voice, and at the same time, her white hand grabbed my arm to relieve her tension!
"Ah Jin! Come out! His grandma's! What kind of skill is hiding in the stone man! ”
Just as I was comforting Yiyi, the fat man suddenly shouted! The target was the stone man who had just set him and the scorpion back!
For a while, the entire cave passage was filled with the shouts of fat people!
Me, Yiyi, Scorpion, the three of us held our breath after the fat man shouted. At the same time, he looked nervously at the stone man in the wall.
This state lasted for about five minutes, and after the echo of the fat man had completely receded, there was only oppressive darkness, as we saw outside the stone gate, mysterious and eerie!
"Brothers, don't be nervous, I'm just trying to see if this thing that grows in the wall is "Ah Jin"! Now it doesn't seem to be, haha..."
The fat man's hearty laughter made me speechless, I really didn't expect that in such a tense atmosphere, this big fat man could still have such leisure.
Yiyi and Scorpion also breathed a sigh of relief, obviously helpless about the fat man's unreliable behavior.
When the fat man said that the stone man's eyes moved, I felt that the same scene had been seen somewhere.
But I just couldn't think about it, but after the fat man's echo fell, the entire Shimen passage quieted down. It occurred to me that I remembered!
Before we left Zhao Tuo's underground palace, the moment Sister Ming and their grenades exploded together! I looked at the two "Yin Soldier Ghost Cubs" who were overthrown by the fat man, and showed an uncomfortable weird smile! And there are blood stains on the corners of the mouth!
The stone man with eye movements, the stone Yong with a weird smile! Is there really any connection between them?
"Xiao Su?"
"Su Mo?"
As I was completely absorbed in my own memories, I heard the voices of the fat man and Yiyi calling to me.
And as their voices entered my ears, I felt a bright light pierce my eyes, preventing me from closing them.
I know what kind of light it is, it's the light of a strong flashlight.
When I opened my eyes again, I found Scorpion and Yiyi standing to my left and right, looking at me anxiously. The fat man held a flashlight in his hand, and looked at the map placed on the ground.
And I, let sit on the ground, I don't know when I sat down!
When I saw the fat man coming, I said to him angrily:
"Fatty, what the fuck are you doing?"
"Little comrade, tsk, your condition is a little bad."
The fat man didn't have any explanation, just handed over a bottle of water.
Yiyi, who was beside me, had already squatted down at this moment, took the fat man's water and stuffed it into my hand, and said:
"Su Mo, you just fainted!"
As soon as I received the water, I felt a hot sensation in my arm. Seeing the alcohol swab in Yiyi's hand and the abrasion on my arm, I knew the cause of the hot pain.
"How.. Yes.."
I can't believe it, I'm obviously very sober just now, but I'm just a little stunned when I think about the "Yin Soldier Ghost Cub", and where did I start fainting.
I looked at the scorpion, and the scorpion nodded.
I slammed myself to my feet, snatched the flashlight from the fat man's hand, and then rushed to the wall of the stone gate passage in front of me, but I didn't see anything.
The prairie stone man that I remembered just now, all four of us, was missing at this moment. The walls around it were nothing but protruding stones.
The headlamp on my head can only reach a few meters in front of me, but the strong flashlight snatched from the fat man's hand can even shine a hundred meters away, even better than the flashlight that Aunt Ming sent me and the fat man in the underground palace. However, I don't even have a shadow of the stone man in my impression.
"Comrade, have you fallen into evil?"
The fat man said as he reached out and touched my forehead. There was a warmth in my heart, this big fat man didn't look at the ridicule, but the actual action was full of concern.
At this moment, Yiyi and Scorpion also walked to my side, and I could feel their worries.
Everything in front of me already shows that I just did, as they say, suddenly fainted in the middle of the journey.
But the experience just now is so real!
In the face of everyone's concerned eyes, I recounted to them what I had just experienced one by one, including seeing the fat man use a strong flashlight to scare me.
"Xiao Su, the only thing you just experienced was this flashlight, you were experienced by us together, and the others..."
Don't... No, brother, how did you become Duan Yu? ”
The fat man said a bunch of words in one breath that only I could understand.
At this moment, we were just over a hundred meters away from the location of the stone gate, which means that we didn't go far at all, and this situation occurred.
When I entered the stone gate, I also thought about the similarity between myself and Duan Yu in response to the fat man's questioning.
In this regard, I was still a little ashamed, thinking that when Duan Yu stretched out his finger, it was possible that he might really use the Six Veins Divine Sword. And I can't sleep anytime and anywhere.
In the current situation, I have really become a character like Duan Yu. This sudden fainting is proof!
Faced with the confusion of Scorpion and Yiyi, the fat man told them all about the special ability of our Su family mentioned by Aunt Ming, as well as the dreams related to this ability before I met the fat man.
When they heard it, they were visibly incredible.
"So that means your fainting just now was a prophecy?"
The scorpion still said in disbelief.
"It should be... bar.."
I'm also a little unsure about the scorpion. This kind of thing does sound a bit bizarre.
"How long have I fainted?"
I asked.
"It's only about five minutes."
Yiyi replied.
The reason I ask this is because I want to know how long it will take me to waste this ability. Hearing Yiyi's words, my heart relaxed, and it seemed that this ability was not very time-consuming.
"Can you control this ability yourself?"
The scorpion asked curiously.
"Brother, if he can control it, he won't be "Duan Yu". ”
The fat man answered the scorpion's question for me.
"Duan Yu's later six-vein divine sword can already be retracted and released freely."
Yiyi took my arm and her eyes were full of trust in me.
The time at this moment is 3:18, which for the rest of China, this time can be called early morning. And in Xinjiang, where we are located, it is ...... in the middle of the night
With this little episode, the four of us acted more cautiously. It was still the same position as he had just entered the stone gate, and he was protected by us in the middle.
As I was traveling, I heard the voice of a scorpion:
"Brother Zhang, the big tomb in the "Flat Earth Dragon" you mentioned earlier, could it be the one in front of us? ”
The scorpion's question was actually what I wanted to ask, but it was interrupted by the little episode in the middle. Now it was brought up by the scorpion.
For what the scorpion wanted to know, the fat man thought for a while and responded:
"Brother, I've actually been thinking about this a lot as well.
The place where we camped was the belly of this dragon vein, the so-called "dragon belly".
The site is generally located in a deep recess of the dragon's belly navel, so that the descendants of the tomb owner will be shaded.
In between you setting up your tent, I used the secret method of my ancestors to try to find the location of the dragon's lair in the umbilicus, but to my bewilderment, there was no tomb at all! ”
"Senior brother, there's something in front of you!"
