At this glance, I understood that the bark of the tree was also picked off by people, and plants, like animals, have the ability to "repair and heal", and the traces on the branches have been scabbed, and the peeling may have happened years or even decades ago (at present, the speed of growth of this banyan tree is not known, and it is impossible to accurately judge the time).

Whether it was years ago or decades ago, at least someone was here before.

Could this person be the master of the past?

Fifty years is most of a person's life, but for such a large banyan tree, it is only a period of time.

In fact, I should have figured out one thing a long time ago, traces of Taoism of the Yellow River can be revealed everywhere in this place, and even the bronze chains on the big banyan tree are arranged in the form of "longitudinal cloud ladders". Can it be said that the Yellow River Daoists came here a long, long time ago? Or even everything here was created by us Huanghe Dao people?

If analyzed in this way, in addition to my master Meng Fan, Zhang Sanfeng, Dayu and Chiyou all belong to the Yellow River Dao?

This speculation is extremely bold, and there are contradictions, although the Yellow River Taoism is mysterious, to my master's generation, it is only eighteen generations, and the founding of the religion has only been more than a thousand years, but Dayu and Chiyou are historical figures four thousand years ago!

The other biggest puzzle is how all this was cast, especially the huge bronze doors, bronze chains, and the multi-ton "Demon Suppression Tower" and the sculpture of Nuwa Niangniang.

As far as I know, the smelting technology began in the Shang Dynasty, from the bronzes unearthed in our country, the smelting technology before the Eastern Zhou Dynasty was not mature enough, and it was only mastered by the princes and nobles, and the smelting was mostly ritual and artifact, and the ordinary people could not see the bronze utensils at home.

In addition, due to the limitations of smelting technology at that time, so far, the largest bronze vessel that has been completely preserved is the Simu Wuding in Henan, and it is said that at least hundreds of people worked together to smelt this bronze tripod.

Even so, compared to any bronze here, this Simu Wuding is like an egg meeting a big watermelon.

……

At that time, I saw the marks of tree bark on the top of my head, and I reflexively thought about it.

Soon the three of them pulled a bunch of bark, and Chen Laosan shouted: "Let you see the skills of our Lanzhou people!" ”

As he spoke, he sat down on the ground, and then used his hand and mouth together, and soon rolled a large pile of bark into a roll, and the movement was so fast and so sharp that it was almost like magic.

Then he interacted with his hands and braided a bunch of "curly hair" together, and in ten minutes, a rope about ten meters long appeared in front of us.

"I don't know if it's long enough! Well, you two go down with the rope first, and I'll pick up some bark. ”

After Chen Laosan finished speaking, he turned around and went to the branches to pick up the bark.

I told him that this "rope to the sky" is just a kind of Taoist technique with the help of ropes, and a few meters long is enough!

But Chen Laosan was like a demon, tearing the bark vigorously, and didn't pay attention to us at all.

At that time, I didn't think much about it, picked up the rope and went down the stone steps with Zhang Kailong to the cave again.

After going down, I saw Uncle Shi staring at the face of the sculpture motionlessly, with a terrifying look on his face.

I thought to myself: There won't be any more branches, right? I don't want to stay in this ghost place for a quarter of an hour, hurry up and finish it, hurry back, it's been delayed for a long time, and several people are afraid that they will have to worry about their lives!

"Old Sun! What to see? ”

I shouted.

"Xiao Zhen! Did you just hear anything? ”

Uncle Shi glanced at us and continued to stare at Nuwa Niangniang's face.

"Voice? There's no sound! I replied.

There was really no sound except for a few of us, neither the wind nor any other animals, and it was a deathly silence.

"I think I heard my name called!" It's inside this cave! ”

Uncle Shi's voice was panicked and very low.

"What? Who...... Who called you? ”

As soon as I heard that, my scalp exploded. I've seen a lot of scary things along the way, but those dead corpses and palms! I can actually accept it psychologically, and it is normal to see ghosts in ghost places!

But when you see people in this hellish place, you're really alive!

"You...... You heard it wrong! ”

I replied.

After all, Uncle Shi is also an eighty-year-old man, and he is running around all the way, and it is so cold around him that he will inevitably have auditory hallucinations.

But Uncle Shi shook his head and said, "I heard it very clearly, and I will never make a mistake!" And I shouted it twice, and the second time, I sounded like ...... It seems that the sculpture of this Nuwa Niangniang shouted! ”

My scalp was numb again, and I was busy looking at the sculpture's face.

Oh, my God! When we first met Uncle Shi, we looked at him as a fairy and a strategist, and regarded him as a "half-fairy", but now this half-fairy was naked in front of us, with a frightened face.

"Don't scare people, grandson! It can't be Nuwa Niangniang's sudden resurrection, right? ”

I was nervous too.

But it looks like that beautiful face hasn't changed much, it's the same as what I just saw!

The three of us just stared at the face of the sculpture of Nuwa Niangniang for a full minute, wanting to hear if the bronze Nuwa Niangniang would really speak again.

After more than a minute, I wanted to laugh at myself, how can the bronze sculpture speak! Am I not stupid!

"Forget it! Forget it! Let's get down to business! Uncle Shi waved his hand and shouted.

The three of us gathered around the edge of the well again, and I recited the mantra of "Heavenly Rope", and Uncle Shi put the rope into the well little by little.

This rope can reach the sky from the top to the sky and go down to the ground, and ordinary people will be shocked when they see it.

"Xiao Zhen! Old grandson, I'm old, let's go down! ”

Then Uncle Shi threw the other end of the rope, and the rope seemed to be alive, wrapped around my waist with a "swish", and then slowly led me into the well.

"When you go down, cover your hands tightly, pick up a handful of water, and try to spill as little as possible outside......"

I've experienced a lot of strange things during this time, but it's the first time I've been dragged down the well by a rope.

The rope seemed to have a thought, and slowly dragged me to the well and stopped at the water. In fact, I know that the idea of the so-called rope is given by me.

The rope dragged me to a halt on the water, and the water in the well was so cold that I felt a chill before I could touch it, and it made me feel a thrill.

I carefully adjusted the angle and reached for a handful of water. No way! This is water, and I shivered a little more from the cold.

As soon as I picked up a handful of water, the rope dragged me up slowly, and soon I reached the outside of the well.

We repeated the old tricks, recited the mantra, and were dragged by the rope to "fly" again, and stopped in front of Nuwa Niangniang.

From this point of view, Nuwa Niangniang is more beautiful, and it seems that a faint impulse in her heart is gradually becoming stronger.

I was stunned, I quickly collected my thoughts, and slowly poured the water in my hand into the bottle in Nuwa Niangniang's hand.

And so, after tossing three times in a row, and after I poured water into the bottle three times, something strange happened.

Everything was happening right under my nose, and I saw that the withered seedling came to life in an instant, the curved stem straightened up at once, and the leaves turned green before my eyes.

It's like magic!

At the moment when the seedlings "came back from the dead" in front of me, I inadvertently looked up and seemed to see Nuwa Niangniang's face smiling at me.

Well? I wasn't scared at the time, I was just curious, could it be true that what Uncle Shi said just now? Does this bronze sculpture have life, not only will it smile at people, but it will also speak?

Everything around her changed, first the seedlings in Nuwa Niangniang's palm came to life in an instant, and then the well next to her "gurgling" blistered.

There was also a strange sound outside the stone steps, as if the wind was blowing on the branches of a banyan tree, and as if some high-pitched people were whispering.

When I got back to the ground, I couldn't help but look up at Nuwa Niangniang's face again, and suddenly noticed a change.

Before, the corners of her mouth were only slightly raised, with a very indifferent expression, but at this time, it was obviously raised, and her expression was smiling towards people.

"Old Sun! Brother Long! Did you see that? ”

The two of them also stared at Nuwa's face motionlessly, and they clearly saw her changes.

The sound of "cooing" in the well next to it became louder and louder, and after weighing it again, we still gathered around the well again, and it seemed that all three of us could have a premonition that even if this Nuwa Niangniang was really resurrected, it would not be unfavorable to us.

Looking into the well again, the white mist was gone, and there were no more bursts of cold air from the well, and even Zhang Kailong could see that there was a big fountain in the well spraying, like boiling water in a pot.

"I see!" Suddenly, Uncle Shi shouted, and there was an expression of sudden realization on his face. "I understand why this well is called the Yellow River Spring!"

When he said that, we both understood, but this is a spring. The spring in the well is looking like it is gradually rising, and at this rate, the water will overflow in a few minutes.

"What to do? Old man Sun! ”

Zhang Kailong asked my uncle.

Uncle Shi looked around, then walked over and touched the bronze sculpture.

"It's okay! Don't worry! There are no traces of rust on Nuwa Niangniang's body! ”

"Huh? What about Chen Laosan? At this time, Uncle Shi noticed that there was one person missing, and hurriedly asked Chen Laosan.

"He's worried that the rope isn't long enough, and he's picking the bark on it! Can...... But it's time to come down now! I replied.

So I opened my throat and shouted outside, "Third brother! Third brother! Enough rope! ”

I shouted several times, but there was no response except for the strange sound outside.

At this time, I was very puzzled and wanted to go out and have a look. was stopped by Uncle Shi.

"Leave him alone!"

I saw that the water in the well was about to come out.
