The stone sculpture looked like a tiger, but two dragon whiskers sprouted from its nostrils.

The craftsmen of the ancients carved very exquisitely, and the two dragon whiskers alone seemed to be dancing in the wind.

It held its head high, as if it were extremely proud.

That's why we've only dug up its head so far.

I've only heard of this image of a mythical beast and I've only seen pictures of it on the Internet, but it's the first time I've seen the real thing.

Its name is 狴犴, which represents majesty and justice.

Its image mostly appears outside the prison or on the door of the cell in ancient times, playing the role of a town prison officer.

How could such an allegorical image of a mythical beast appear here?

Could it be that there is an ancient dungeon underneath this area?

Zhang Yi seemed to see that my reaction was not quite right, and asked me nervously: "Fifth master, what is this?" Do you want to keep digging? ”

I shook my head, lit a cigarette, and said, "I'll wait until everyone is ready."

After saying that, I turned around and looked back, and saw a few flashlights in the distance.

After a long while, Shen Dali ran to me with the other three people panting.

When he saw that we had dug a pit, he hurriedly raised his flashlight and looked inside, and when he saw the head of the leaking stone carving, he said with some disappointment: "How can you dig out such a thing, it is worthless, and it is not easy to sell."

After he finished speaking, he found that Zhang Yi looked at him with an unkind face, and hurriedly changed his words and said, "The most important thing is to dedicate it to the country." The brothers should stop digging and bury them on the spot to protect the cultural relics. ”

I glanced at Fat Liu angrily, beckoned to Yang Qing and said, "Yang Qing, come and take a look at this thing."

Yang Qing ran to the edge of the pit in three steps and two steps, carefully walked to the stone carving, and carefully observed it for a while, his brows furrowed more and more.

I lowered my voice and asked her, "Is it a raccoon?"

Yang Qing nodded, shook his head again, and said, "It does look a bit similar, but there is no way to be sure, because the traditional image of the raccoon does not carry these two dragon whiskers." However, it is not excluded that there are some changes in the image of different regions and different dynasties. ”

Shen Dali also brought a sapper shovel over at this time: "Fifth brother, are you still digging up?"

Liu Fatzi hurriedly said: "What is there to dig, there can't be anything down here, what to dig?"

Shen Dali was a little unhappy: "Why are you everywhere?" I asked the fifth brother, but I didn't ask you. ”

"I said mine, what is your business?"

I waved my hand and said, "You two stop arguing, I don't think there's any need to dig any more, you see."

As I spoke, I picked up the sapper shovel in my hand upside down and showed them the shovel head.

The originally sharp shovel head has been damaged in many places, and if you dig it down, it is estimated that the shovel will be scrapped, and the frozen soil in the northeast is really not easy to deal with.

At this moment, the first moon in the sky once again hid in the flowing clouds, and the cold wind swirled all over the land, making a whistling sound like the roar of a wild beast.

Because we had exercised too much before, our underwear was wet with sweat, and when the wind blew at this time, everyone began to shiver.

I estimate that if this continues, everyone will definitely get sick, so I considered Zhang Luo taking everyone back first and coming back tomorrow.

However, before I could say my decision, Leng Yue suddenly reached out and grabbed my arm and pulled me aside.

I just felt inexplicable, and I was about to ask Leng Yue what to do, when I suddenly heard the exclamations of Zhao Zitong and Yang Qing.

Almost at the same time, I faintly heard a "hissing" sound again.

Listening to the sound, it was a bit like the scales of a snake rubbing against the ground.

But this season, snakes have already entered the hibernation period, how can we encounter them?

What I didn't expect was that when I turned around, I actually saw a colorful snake coming out of the vicinity of the stone carving, tilting its triangular head and staring at us spitting red letters.

Holy, I'm dreaming, right?

Liu Fatzi shouted in horror: "In the winter, how could a snake pop out?" Didn't we provoke something unclean? ”

I lowered my voice and asked Leng Yue next to me, "Do you know what's going on?"

Leng Yue also seemed to be puzzled by this, and after thinking for a while, she said, "Sleepwalking?"

Liu Fatzi answered next to him: "It's not sleepwalking, it's becoming a jing, fifth brother, what should I do?"

I said in my heart: You dead fat man still know to ask me? Don't you have an idea?

Although I thought so, I didn't say anything like this.

I raised my right hand, swung it back, and lowered my voice and said, "Go back first, don't startle it."

After that, we started to carefully step back.

The snake stared at us and spit out letters, and did nothing else.

Suddenly, directly behind the pit, a snow bag puffed up.

The snow bag appeared very suddenly, and it looked very strange under the cover of night.

Leng Yue suddenly stopped, staring at the dirt bag with a pair of green eyes, and slowly put away the iron chopsticks.

I saw that the snow bag suddenly trembled, and threw the broken snow around, showing its long pointed mouth.

That...... It turned out to be a missing old fart fox spirit.

It looked at us, and there was a smile that only a human could show.

Zhao Zitong asked in a trembling voice, "Is it laughing?"

The old fart fox spirit retracted his smile, bared his teeth and glared, his face was hideous, and he let out a low roar of "woo".

Leng Yue suddenly took half a step forward, and his right hand flung forward violently, and a transparent silk thread flew out of the air from his palm.

The old fart fox spirit seemed to have expected it, and his body sank down violently, and he actually fell under the snow layer, making Cold Moon's thunderbolt blow empty.

I had just secretly said that I was sorry, but suddenly I found that the snow layer near the big pit was like boiling water, and it exploded one after another, and many triangular snake heads poked out.

I looked at the scene in front of me, which defied common sense, and I felt as if my scalp was about to explode.

The bodies of those snakes are densely covered with colorful stripes, and the poison should not be weak.

However, after the appearance of these snakes, their bodies seemed to be very stiff, and they were all crooked in the position where they appeared, and they did not attack us.

I whispered to everyone, "Withdraw!"

But as soon as I finished speaking, the old fox spirit came out again, and shouted in a voice like a broken gong: "Kill them all!"

At its command, the vipers finally made their moves, and rushed towards us like a tidal wave.

"Run!" I shouted anxiously and ran back with the group.

We didn't expect to encounter snakes at all this time, and we didn't prepare any anti-snake medicine and tools. If this group of poisonous snakes catches up, I am afraid that it will be difficult to escape the fate of reporting to the underworld.

Man's desire to survive can lead to an explosion of unimaginable potential. We were already tired, and we were almost running at the speed of a 100-meter sprint.

Liu Fatzi ran at the front, Zhao Zitong and Yang Qing followed, and I, Shen Dali and Zhang Yi broke behind...... No, why is there one person missing? Where did Cold Moon go?
