Chapter 10: The Stele

I heard Zhang Xiaoxiao shouting and hurriedly walked over.

Zhang Xiaoxiao pointed to a pair of skeletons and said, "Look at that, it's a black thing, like a stone tablet!" ”

I walked over to the pile of skeletons, folded my hands, and muttered, "Ladies and gentlemen, excuse me." ”

After speaking, I moved the pile of skeletons next to me, and sure enough, a black stone tablet appeared in front of me and Zhang Xiaoxiao.

The stele wasn't too big, so I moved it without much effort.

"What are the words written on this, do you know them?" Zhang Xiaoxiao looked at the dense text engraved on the stone tablet and said.

I gave her a blank look and said, "It would be strange if labor and management knew these words." ”

As I spoke, the atmosphere became awkward, and I had no choice but to look at what was written on the stele.

But the whole area was so dense that I only recognized one word - death!

I swallowed my saliva, I didn't dare to say this to Zhang Xiaoxiao, for fear that she wouldn't be able to stand it and cry.

"By the way, my dad knows an archaeology professor who can help him." Zhang Xiaoxiao said suddenly.

Hearing her say this, I suddenly felt a little hopeful, but before two seconds, her face was bitter again.

I had a bad feeling and asked, "What's wrong?" What's wrong? ”

Zhang Xiaoxiao paused for two or three seconds and said, "I didn't bring my phone!" ”

I'm going, it looks like we're going to die here today!

I sighed, didn't think about anything, just sat down on top of the stele and rested.

"Otherwise, I'm down there, and you step on my shoulder and see if you can climb up."

I looked at Zhang Xiaoxiao and said.

After speaking, I walked to the bottom of a slope, squatted down, and motioned for Zhang Xiaoxiao to step on my shoulder.

Then Zhang Xiaoxiao stepped on my shoulder and tried to climb up, but after trying several times, she didn't climb up, so she had no choice but to go back to the same place and sit down.

Zhang Xiaoxiao and I didn't have anything extra to say, and after sitting down, there was silence for a long time.

After a long while, Zhang Xiaoxiao finally couldn't help but talk to me: "Alas, Zhou Zhou, do you know why I like you?" ”

When asked this question, I shook my head, I really don't know, how can I, a poor boy from the countryside, be favored by such a rich girl, and run to me desperately to worship the chief of Sanshuidao as a teacher.

"Why?" I asked.

Zhang Xiaoxiao lowered her head shyly and said, "Because you are not exaggerated, very real, and a good person." ”

I whispered, in fact, it's nothing, rural children like us, it's usually like this, only those rich kids, who dress up like a ghost all day long.

Speaking of ghosts, my heart was suddenly shocked, there are so many skeletons next to here, it is already dark, and I am still thinking about ghosts here......

"yes, I see." I replied, and sat down cross-legged without further questions.

I said to Zhang Xiaoxiao: "You follow me, I will teach you to practice qi now, and if you learn to practice qi, the yang energy in your body will slowly improve." ”

Zhang Xiaoxiao nodded a little reluctantly, I didn't care about her, closed my eyes, and began to cultivate yang qi.

"Take a deep breath, expel the miscellaneous qi, take a deep breath into the dantian, let him enter the lower abdomen, and control his flow through every part of the body......"

I repeated the things that the Sanshui Dao chief gave me to me before, and told them to Zhang Xiaoxiao again.

I don't know if she has practiced qi, anyway, I just need to practice my own.

Slowly, the yang energy concentrated in my body little by little, and a warm feeling spread throughout my body.

I don't know how long it took, but I knew that I felt like my body was already sweating a little, so I opened my eyes.

"Whew, comfortable!" I let out a long breath and said.

At this time, Zhang Xiaoxiao suddenly screamed: "Look behind you!" ”

Hearing her shout, I suddenly had a bad premonition, because at this time, I had already noticed that the yin qi in this place was particularly heavy!

I saw Zhang Xiaoxiao covering her mouth and staring straight behind me with that kind of disbelieving look.

I swallowed and turned my head back to see what was going on, but it almost scared me half to death!

The skeletons behind me all stood up, and they moved here and there!

I was startled and hurriedly pulled Zhang Xiaoxiao, at this time, it was time for us to join forces.

"The skeletons behind you are here too!" I watched the skeletons behind Zhang Xiaoxiao slowly stand up, and from time to time there was a "click" sound of bones.

Slowly, the skeletons around us slowly leaned towards us, and it didn't take long for Zhang Xiaoxiao and me to surround us.

"What to do, what to do, I don't want to die yet!" Zhang Xiaoxiao said tightly on my shoulder.

At this time, my back was already sweaty, my brain was blank, and I thought, it's over, I'm afraid I'm going to be eaten by these skeletons.

Suddenly, my brain flashed and I thought of a way - childhood urine!

Lao Tzu is an eighteen-year-old virgin, plus I have recently cultivated Yang Qi, I don't believe that this pure Yang thing can't deal with these skeletons?!

Thinking about it, I didn't have time to tell Zhang Xiaoxiao, I took off my pants all of a sudden, ready to give a shuttle "bullet" to those skeletons not far in front of me.

"You, hooligan!" Suddenly, Zhang Xiaoxiao exclaimed.

It doesn't matter if I scream, but she actually gave me a monkey stealing peaches!

"Shhh Eldest sister, you light, it hurts, I didn't play hooligan, I'm a child's urine! I gasped in pain and said.

Zhang Xiaoxiao suddenly understood something, hurriedly let go of her hand, lowered her head shyly, and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't expect you to be a virgin." ”

Uh, is it wrong to be a virgin? It shows that I am simple......

There's no way, being caught by Zhang Xiaoxiao like this, it hurts so much that I can't say anything, the key is that I can't pee.

Seeing that these skeletons were about to get closer, suddenly, I remembered what the chief of the three rivers said: blood on the tip of the tongue is the most yang thing, and all dirty things are afraid of blood on the tip of the tongue.

I didn't think much about it, gritted my teeth, and bit the tip of my tongue, and suddenly, my mouth was filled with a warm feeling, and a fishy sweet rust smell spread in my throat.

"Poof......

I squirted a mouthful of blood from the tip of my tongue at the skeleton in front of me, which was already approaching.

Sure enough, as soon as the blood on the tip of the tongue sprayed onto the skeleton's body, all of a sudden, white smoke began to rise from the places where the skeletons were sprayed with blood...... I saw that this trick was effective, so I hurriedly said to Zhang Xiaoxiao: "Quick, bite the tip of your tongue and use the tip of your tongue to bleed!" ”

Zhang Xiaoxiao understood what I said, gritted her teeth, bit the tip of her tongue, and sprayed towards the wave of skeletons in front of her.

Sure enough, as soon as those skeletons touched the blood on the tip of Zhang Xiaoxiao's tongue, white smoke suddenly rose.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Xiaoxiao and I didn't relax, and when the skeleton came up, a mouthful of blood from the tip of the tongue spewed out towards that side.

The skulls suddenly became a little cringe, and for a moment they didn't dare to think that we were leaning over.

"What to do, we can't keep doing this, keep doing this, I'm afraid these skeletons aren't dead, we're all going to bleed to death." Zhang Xiaoxiao took my arm and said hurriedly.

I shrugged my shoulders and said, "I can't help it." ”

Just when we didn't know what to do, all of a sudden, these skeletons in front of us fell one after another!

Zhang Xiaoxiao and I glanced at each other, and wondered in our hearts, what's wrong with these skeletons, they were still moving just now, why aren't they moving now?

Just when we were wondering, I inadvertently glanced up and caught a glimpse of the moon in the sky, which was perfectly round!

As the saying goes, on the night of the first round, there will be ghosts!

I swallowed my saliva and didn't dare to tell Zhang Xiaoxiao about it.

At this time, Zhang Xiaoxiao touched me and said, "Take advantage of the moment, I'll climb up quickly." ”

I looked at the dirt slope around me and said, "It's too deep here, and besides, it's too steep to climb up!" ”

Zhang Xiaoxiao looked around and sighed, after all, what I said was the truth, such a steep, such a deep pit, and Zhang Xiaoxiao's foot was injured, how could we climb up?

"By the way, I have a way!" Zhang Xiaoxiao said suddenly.

"What's the solution?" I asked reflexively.

Zhang Xiaoxiao pointed to the skeletons on the ground and said, "Use their bones to make a mountaineering pickaxe!" ”

I nodded, this method is not impossible, it is made of local materials, and the human leg bone is very long and strong, and the shape is just right for a mountaineering pickaxe.

"Okay, that's all I have to do now." I said to Zhang Xiaoxiao.

After speaking, Zhang Xiaoxiao and I moved our hands and found a few long leg bones between a large number of skeleton skeletons on the ground, and then I tore the clothes on my body, tore the clothes into strips of cloth, tied the leg bones together, and made one end like a mountaineering pickaxe, which is enough.

"Alright, let's see if it works." As I spoke, I plunged a leg bone directly into the dirt slope.

Fortunately, the soil here is still relatively loose, and it didn't take much effort to insert this leg bone into it.

Then, I stepped on the leg bone, let the back violently jump upward, and the "pickaxe" in my hand slammed into the dirt slope, and my whole person was hung on it.

I turned around and said to Zhang Xiaoxiao, "Yes, it's safe!" ”

Subsequently, Zhang Xiaoxiao followed me as well, because she sprained one of her feet, so the range of each time she went up was limited.

And I tried my best to crawl towards the top of Zhang Xiaoxiao's head, and where I passed, I dug a few small pits for him to put his feet, which was conducive to her actions.

"How are you, be careful, don't fall." I looked back at Zhang Xiaoxiao and said.

But this look can't help but make me start to break out in a cold sweat......

The place where I first inserted my leg bone at the beginning, suddenly some black ants crawled out of it.

At first, I thought it was nothing, but when I looked at it, the bones I had just inserted were gnawed by these ants in less than two seconds, and there was not even any residue left!

I was so frightened that I hurriedly said to Zhang Xiaoxiao: "Zhang Xiaoxiao, climb up quickly, there is danger below!" ”

Saying that, I can't take care of her for the time being, and if I go down to help her now, I'm afraid that both of us will have no bones left to be eaten by these ants.

In the current situation, I can only climb up first, and when I go up, I am trying to find a way to save Zhang Xiaoxiao, after all, there is still a glimmer of hope to survive.

Zhang Xiaoxiao also saw the ants below, rapidly gnawing on the bones of the skulls we had planted in the soil and under the pit.

"Zhou Zhou, help!" Zhang Xiaoxiao said in a crying voice.

At this time, I couldn't care about it so much, and I didn't look back and said, "You try to climb up, and when I go up, I will find a way to save you!" ”

After saying that, I looked up at the top, and by this time I was not far from the top, and I would be able to climb up immediately.

But at this time, my feet suddenly slipped, and then, the center of gravity of the whole person was out of balance, and I slid down all of a sudden.

Just when I thought I was going to fall down and be eaten clean by those ants, all of a sudden, a pair of hands suddenly appeared on top of me and grabbed my arm tightly.

When I looked up, it turned out to be the chief of the three waterways!

"What are you doing in a daze, why don't you climb up quickly!" The head of the three water provinces looked at me and said.

As soon as the chief of the three rivers said this, I came back to my senses, and hurriedly smashed my pickaxe down the dirt slope, fixed my body, and with the help of the chief of the three waterways, I finally climbed up.

Zhang Xiaoxiao...... She, she's still down there! I gasped in shock.

Sanshui Dao nodded, and he didn't know where he got the rope, and threw it down to Zhang Xiaoxiao.

"Grab the rope and we'll pull you up!" The head of the Sanshui Dao shouted at Zhang Xiaoxiao below.

As she spoke, Zhang Xiaoxiao had already grasped the rope tightly.

And at this time, I saw with my own eyes that those ants had crawled to Zhang Xiaoxiao's feet!

But then, a strange thing happened, those ants had not just climbed to Zhang Xiaoxiao's feet, and they actually returned the same way and did not touch Zhang Xiaoxiao.

I looked at Sanshuidao for a long time and said, "Did you see that just now?" ”

The chief of the three rivers ignored me, but pulled the rope hard, until Zhang Xiaoxiao was also pulled up, and then said:

"That one just now is a sawtooth ant, and everywhere you go, you don't eat it."

"But...... It didn't even touch Zhang Xiaoxiao just now! I asked, browning and puzzled.

Hearing me say this, Zhang Xiaoxiao also felt a little wrong, and said: "Yes, I also saw that those ants crawled under my feet." But I crawled back again, what's going on? ”

The Sanshui Dao Master shook his head and said, "I don't know, but, according to legend, these sawtooth ants will look for a destined person, and they will not hurt this destined person, but will always help her." ”

Zhang Xiaoxiao and I were surprised, and said in unison: "Someone who is destined?!" ”
