Volume 2 The Stone Man of the Western Regions The Stone Man of the Western Regions Chapter 68: Voyeurism
The walls of the castle in front of you are not particularly high, no more than three meters by the eye.
The fat man looked at the height of the city wall and said, "It seems that the people of this inner kingdom can't be too tall!" Xiao Su, after a while, we will reach the realm of people, and when we meet ordinary people, we can't laugh at people for being short. Be careful that people treat you as an intruder and give you a bad time. Supervise! ”
I said to him, "Do you know that your Uncle Zhang is talking nonsense! The city has been abandoned for I don't know how many centuries, and if you do see someone asking you for a drink, you can only say that you have encountered a ghost! ”
The fat man didn't agree with what I said, and strode towards the lampposts that looked like candles on both sides!
Sister Ning was planning the next operation, during which they also used whistles to get in touch with the pursuing scorpions, but they all ended in no response.
Yiyi, like the fat man, walked to the lamppost on the other side. On the periphery of the lamppost, there was a stone fence surrounded by stones, and at the bottom was a moat, and she was curiously watching the flowing water. At first, I was also attracted by this river, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I really wouldn't have believed that there was such a flowing dark river under the vast Gobi Desert. And listen to the sound, this dark river flows around the whole city, and there is also the sound of water flowing far away.
However, in the end, what caught my eye was the layout and structure of this city, I have studied the history of Chinese architecture, and the structure of a city like this in front of me has never been seen before, if you take a photo and take it outside, I think the whole world will be a sensation!
I was looking at it, and suddenly I heard the fat man call me.
Yiyi was also attracted by the fat man's cry and followed me to the fat man.
I heard the fat man say to me in a questioning tone: "Xiao Su, you have studied archaeology, you said that this temple-shaped lamppost is placed here, is it a little strange." ”
I took a closer look at the lamppost, the total height of the lamppost was about one and a half meters, and the overall shape was rectangular column. There is a circular lampshade structure above, and several small doors at the bottom, which are tightly closed, and from a distance, it looks like a palace that has been reduced in size.
Indeed, as the fat man said, this lamppost seems to be somewhat conspicuous here, and there is a distance of nearly several kilometers from our position to the foot of the city of the "Inner Kingdom", such a distance, there are only two lampposts in the shape of a small hall.
I was pondering the reason when the fat man suddenly shouted, "Xiao Su, I know what this is!" It's not a fucking lamppost at all! It's a silk burner! ”
The incineration furnace, also known as the furnace in ancient times, is commonly found on the periphery of altar temples, mausoleums, private cemeteries and other buildings, and is a furnace used to burn sacrificial items during the memorial ceremony.
I said to myself, are you fucking confused, how can someone who designs a city place such a thing outside their own city! After this thing is released, the whole city will become
Tombs!
Just as he was about to mock him, he saw the fat man touching the lower part of the palace-shaped glazed building. Touching the small door in the middle part, with a force, a creak, the small iron door opened in response!
Immediately after, I saw a pile of black ash spraying out of it! I immediately ducked and covered my mouth and nose with my clothes. Even so, he was still swept away by the black ash that spewed out. Yiyi was far away, and the moment the black ash came out, she successfully dodged.
The fat man was the closest, and the moment the iron door opened, all the black ash sprayed out was not wasted, and he was sprayed all over his face. Frightened, he shouted, "Damn, what the hell!" ”
After Sister Ning heard the fat man's cry, she also approached. Asked me what was going on, I shook my head. Hurriedly called Xiaoqian, took down the medicine box from behind her, and looked for the potion to wash her eyes.
Just as I was looking for it, I heard the fat man shouting, "Damn it, it's burning ashes!" Who the hell did grandma bake sweet potatoes in this stove? ”
I was almost amused by his words, and walked back to his eyes with the eyewash potion in my hand.
The fat man took the eyewash, sprayed it a few times on his face, then spit a few mouthfuls of foam, and said, "Xiao Su, this ash is no problem, it's just the ash made of some cloth!" ”
Yiyi took out a towel and squeezed water to wipe the ashes on the fat man's face.
I suddenly remembered something, and reached out to remove some gray foam from the fat man's body, and put it under the light of the headlamp to observe it carefully. Then he turned back and walked towards the rectangular lamppost, and went through the black ash opening! As a result, in addition to some dead insect corpses, there is also some cloth in the tentacles.
I pulled the fabric outward, bringing out a pile of black ash and a lot of bug corpses. With my eyes closed, I held my breath and ripped out all the unburned cloth from the stove and threw it on the ground!
Looking at the black fabric on the floor, my heart sank.
The fat man shook his clothes and asked me, "Xiao Su, have you found a roasted sweet potato?" ”
I didn't want to talk to him, and pointed to the fabric on the ground. After the fat man looked at the pattern on the fabric, he also took a deep breath and said, "Soul flag? How can this thing burn in the stove! ”
Everyone was attracted by my actions, and they all gathered around.
Yiyi looked at the spirit banner on the ground, and was also surprised, the headless general pattern on it was the first she discovered.
I scratched the fabric on the ground with my foot to make the pattern unfold more clearly. He looked up at the small hall attic composed of glazed pieces on both sides, and said to them: "These two small hall-shaped buildings are not lampposts, nor are they incineration furnaces, but divine furnaces, which are specially used to summon spirits!" ”
The silk burner mentioned by the fat man was used for sacrifice. Generally, some paper money or paper carts and horses will be burned in the stove, and some will be in the furnace
Light some incense and use it to worship ancestors.
And the ash that came out of this stove turned out to be the ash of cloth. I believe in the fat man's sense of smell, he can even smell the dead breath on Xiao Qian's body, and the smell of the ashes of this fabric will definitely not be wrong.
I suddenly remembered that in the notes given to me by my second uncle, there was a record of the divine furnace.
The divine furnace is a utensil used for conjuring spirits, and is generally used with the conjuring flag. The summoned soul will go to the spirit banner through guidance. Then the soul flags were placed in the furnace and burned with embers, and finally three soul flags were erected several miles away. In this way, the soul of the dead will be settled in the soul banner and placed by the person who attracts it.
Combined with what we saw along the way, we came to the conclusion that these two furnaces are the divine furnaces recorded in the second uncle's notes!
I told everyone what I had guessed, and when the fat man heard this, he immediately ran to another furnace. I opened the small iron door and began to dig things out. What I pulled out was the same as what I pulled out, the headless general's spirit banner we saw earlier!
After the fat man threw these spirit flags to the ground, he rubbed his chin with one hand, pondered for a while, and said to me, "Xiao Su, this may be in trouble!" ”
I looked up at him and heard him continue: "This 'Headless Nation' organization has summoned their ancestor Xingtian through this spirit flag, and the realm we are in now is the realm of the 'Inner Country'. It is very likely that this Xingtian and the legendary king of the "Inner Kingdom" are old friends, two. The two of them were unwilling to die, so they asked their respective descendants to summon their souls and have a soul to meet! We're disturbing people's good things! ”
I originally thought that the fat man had some high opinions, but now it sounds like this goods is a running train full of mouths, and there is no serious word!
Sister Ning was the same as me at the beginning, listening carefully to the fat man's analysis, but in the end, she almost didn't give the fat man an over-the-shoulder fall again. The fat man still has a lot of eyes, and after finishing speaking, he immediately dodged it.
Sister Ning glared at him, and then asked me, "Xiao Su, you have read your second uncle's notes and know the role of the Divine Furnace, what did you say they used to summon the soul of Xingtian?" ”
My mind was racing, and I came up with a lot of possibilities in a flash, but I denied them. finally thought of a possibility, and said to Sister Ning: "Sister Ning, with our current situation, there are currently three forces around us. In addition to our Suzhang Alliance, there are two other forces. Peter, their "Europa" company, and the "leaderless country" organization represented by the fake Ahsan. ”
Seeing that Sister Ning nodded, I continued: "Ah San, the purpose of their "leaderless country" organization, I still don't know. However, the purpose of Peter's "Europa" company is very clear, judging by what their company has done in China for so many years, what Peter Jr. and his father Peter Sr. are looking for is something called "life code". According to Peter Jr
, this mysterious ghost town behind us may hide the "life code" they are looking for. Since this is related to the resurrection of people after death, then what do you say is the purpose of summoning the soul of Xingtian? ”
"To resurrect the Punishment Heaven!" Sister Ning replied.
I nodded, and after listening to my analysis, the fat man also changed his previous appearance of running the train with his mouth full and came over.
We have never known what the real purpose of the "leaderless state" organization that is working against our Suzhang alliance is. After this series of analyses just now, it seems that the purpose of this mysterious dark organization has surfaced. Their purpose is to resurrect the "Punishment Heaven"!
Sister Ning, including her team, was personally cultivated by my second uncle, and she was absolutely loyal to our Su and Zhang families. I didn't know about their relationship with my second uncle before, but then I heard from the scorpion that Sister Ning, including all the people in Sister Ning's team, are all descendants of the lineage that our Suzhang Alliance has developed over the past thousand years.
There will be one person in each of them who will fulfill the ancestral teachings and join the Suzhang Alliance as the inheritor. These people are from all walks of life, and many of them work in our two shops, shopping malls and companies. For so many years, our Su family and the fat man's Zhang family have been obtaining economic resources through these channels.
In other words, all the races of the people who have joined our two alliances have also survived by these doorways. It is not so much that Sister Ning and the others are the subordinates of the second uncle, it is better to say that all the people in our Suzhang Alliance are grasshoppers tied to the same boat, and they complement each other. Moreover, a tight organizational framework has been formed.
Sister Ning, as well as everyone like Sister Ning, including those in her team, were rigorously trained. And received the general education of the organization, in my opinion, probably brainwashed or something.
Therefore, Sister Ning, as well as Sister Ning's team, all of them know about the existence of this "leaderless country" organization.
However, for thousands of years, no one in the Soviet-Zhang Alliance has ever known what the purpose of the leaderless organization is!
After listening to my analysis that the purpose of this organization might be to resurrect Xingtian, Sister Ning immediately called Xiaodou and asked him to return to the ground and inform Aunt Ming and Second Uncle of the results of this analysis!
