Volume 5 The Curse of the Old Village_Chapter 349 Sitting in the well and watching the sky
I simply closed my eyes and hugged the stone monk with both hands.
The appearance of these stone monks was an accident for us. Why they suddenly appeared, and why they brought us here, is a mystery.
It can be said that when we have not fully grasped the intentions of these stone monks, it is an adventure in itself to follow them here.
So now, the accident has really happened, and I have to rely on my fate.
At this speed, the consequences of sliding down from a high place are really unpredictable.
After closing my eyes, I pressed my face against the back of the stone monk's head. The waves that flew by didn't have much impact on me. It's just that the sound of water whistling in my ears makes my heart go up and down, and I can't be quiet.
This downward trend lasted for five or six minutes. For five or six minutes, I was tormented, like I was wandering between earth and hell.
Finally, a huge force was transmitted from the body of the stone monk.
My two arms, already weak, were too weak to withstand the impact. I only felt my arms go numb, and I let go of the stone monk.
Leaving the stone monk, my body suddenly felt like it had been thrown into the air.
When I hugged the stone monk, I still felt a little dependent. This time it was loosened, the only support was gone, and my heart was even more dead.
But I still didn't dare to open my eyes, and I didn't have time to open them, and my body fell.
However, my body did not experience any obvious pain, let alone the huge tremor that I had expected.
I subconsciously opened my eyes and found that the realm I was in was plain white. Looking up, there was moonlight pouring down directly above.
I was relieved at first, it seemed that I wasn't dead yet. But everything I just experienced was like a dream. It was extremely unreal.
I closed my eyes again, quickly tipped through the ins and outs of the matter in my head, and tried to move my body again.
Except for the fact that his body was soaked and his limbs were a little sore, there was no other pain. I think the soreness may have been caused by holding the stone monk too tightly.
"Since I'm fine, what about Wang Zi, the fat man and Yumo?"
Thinking of this, I was thrilled and quickly got up from the ground.
By the light of the moon, I found that not far away, the three of them were lying on the ground.
I breathed a sigh of relief and wanted to go up and have a look. At this time, they all got up from the ground one after another.
We asked each other about it, and everything was fine.
We just stood on the spot and observed the movement around us.
Surrounded by mountains, at our feet, there is a bluestone beach, the range is not large, it seems to be only a few tens of meters in radius. On one side of the bluestone beach, there is a river that flows slowly into the distance.
The rumbling sound of water could still be heard in my ears, and not far from here, a stream of water gushed out from the nearby mountain. It joins the river next to Bluestone Beach.
The environment here suggests that we have just been washed out of the mountains by the top-down current.
"Where's the Stone Monk?" Wang Zi asked.
That's when we remembered to go to the four stone monks, who had brought us here. It doesn't look like they're aimless, they should have brought us here on purpose.
Yumo pointed to the direction of the river downstream and said, "Look, is that a stone monk?" ”
We raised our eyes together, and sure enough, in that direction, with our backs to the moonlight, there were several figures, and the shadows were not clear to see, but we could see the general outline, which was indeed very similar to the stone monk.
"Let's take a look."
Wang Zi took us and walked in that direction together.
It wasn't until I got closer that I could see the environment. The river next to it still runs through the mountains. It's just that the space we are in is in the middle of a hollowed-out mountain. And this space is from the top down, and the top of the mountain is open, so we can see the moon in the sky.
It's a bit like sitting in a well and watching the sky. The position we are in is like the bottom of a well, and the surrounding mountain wall is the wall of the well. The opening at the top of the hill above is the mouth of the well. A few of us, like frogs at the bottom of a well, can see the moon outside the well as soon as we look up.
Also, there is water down there, so it's fitting to say that the environment here is like a mountain well.
Since the range below was not large, we walked a dozen steps before we reached the back of the figures.
Before I could get closer, I noticed that there were no more, no less, no less than five, and the number could match. However, looking at the material on their bodies, it doesn't seem to be as hard as stone.
Sure enough, Yumo first ran in front of those people, and after seeing the faces of those people, he suddenly exclaimed.
Let's all go over and take a look.
Those figures were indeed not stone monks, but they were real monks. It's just that they are all dried corpses, but they still maintain a posture of meditating cross-legged.
They are also bald, and the ring scars on their heads are faintly visible.
"They look the same as those stone monks......" Fat Dahai looked at the faces of these monks and said.
After identification, although their faces had been dried, their faces were still vaguely recognizable, and they were indeed very similar to the faces of those stone monks. Could it be that those stone monks were carved based on these dry corpse monks?
Wang Zi looked at the dried corpses and said suspiciously: "The position they occupy seems to be a little strange." ”
I took a closer look and realized that the distance between the five dried corpses was indeed strange. Because there was no pattern to their arrangement, some of them were more distant from each other, seven or eight meters away, and the distance between the two dried corpses was even smaller, only two meters away.
I know that if there is no pattern in this distribution, it should be hidden. For example, the distribution method of the Big Dipper is often applied to formations and Taoism.
These five dried corpses, although they are less than seven stars, may not be able to get it right.
With this in mind, I looked more closely. Soon, I found a little pattern, but I was not sure yet, so I said to Wang Zi: "Uncle, you look at their eyes, it seems that these five are dry."
The corpse's gaze was in a strange direction. ”
Wang Zi also observed and nodded: "It's true." Each of them was staring at the other. The other person didn't look back, but stared at the third person. There are five of them, each of them is being stared at, and at the same time the others are staring at the others. According to their gaze, it seems that they can be connected in several lines. ”
"The Five Elements Stone Monk, and these monks who are dried corpses, must be inextricably linked. I suspect that the direction they occupy is also related to the five elements. If you don't get them right, it's just one of the five elements. I nodded in agreement.
Wang Zi picked up a piece of bluestone from the ground and sketched it on the ground.
Soon, a figure about the five elements was drawn. Those lines, interconnected and intersecting with each other, look very complicated.
