Chapter 134: I Saw It in a Dream
Everyone walked deep into the city, through the towering stone wall, but in front of them is not a high-rise towering building, but a piece of low "rotten shack", said to be a shack, it is not an exaggeration, I lived in Niuzigou when I was a child, the villagers like to raise dogs, there are unwilling to keep dogs at home, they will build a relatively low shack around the house, both can hold grass ashes, but also raise dogs.
The height of that kind of shack is no different from most of the buildings inside the city, Ge Zhuang walked here more and more surprised, and quickly exclaimed to me, "Little pumpkin, you said that the height of the ancients in Southeast Asia was generally no more than one meter six, I feel exaggerated, to be able to live in such a low shed, I am afraid that people with a height of one meter and two will have to reach the ceiling!" β
Chen Yun scolded him with a smile, saying that if you don't understand the fat man, don't be foolish, although ancient humans can also walk upright, but the animal nature has not been shed, most of the time they will still land on all fours like an orangutan, if you lean down, you will definitely be able to get in.
Ge Zhuang finally found a reasonable reason to refute Chen Yun, and couldn't wait to say, "Big sister, this time you said it was false, the farming revolution happened about 10,000 years ago, that is, in 8,000 BC. The Ancient Yelang Dynasty was founded more than 2,000 years ago, and human beings have already evolved successfully! β
Chen Yun said, "What you say makes sense, but as long as the Central Plains region is greatly advancing, and the agricultural civilization of the people in Southeast Asia originated late, the possibility of relatively slow evolution cannot be ruled out." β
"Look, there's a normal building over there, let's go over and take a look!" As we got into an argument, the old bell was cautiously surveying the environment, and soon found the only different building in the city, and hurriedly urged us.
We all looked along the place where his finger pointed, and sure enough, in a pile of rubble, we found a relatively simple ancient building, which still has been polished bluestone, but it is much brighter than these low "shacks", built on the mountain, because no one has set foot in it for too long, it has been completely deserted, the outside of the building is covered with cyan vines, and it is almost connected into a green curtain from a distance, and only the insight of the old clock can be found at a glance.
"Let's go, let's take a look!" We walked quickly towards the edge of the building, not yet close, Ge Zhuang in the speed suddenly "ouch", when I turned around, I saw that he kicked on the vine rhizome on the ground, fell on a big horse, his mouth was full of mud, quickly helped the person up, said dead fat man, you be careful, can you not be surprised.
Ge Zhuang's face turned blue with anger, and said that he fell down while walking, this can be a monster,, these withered vines are too much of a hindrance, Lao Zhong, you give me the firewood knife, and I will open the way for you!
"Don't!" Chen Yun held down Ge Zhuang, and said angrily You stop for a while, these herbaceous plants are very scarce, learn to call "alder", is a kind of fern that can grow into a big tree, also known as "tree fern", its stem is erect, hollow, like a pen holder, the leaves are spirally arranged at the top of the stem, it is the only woody fern that has been found, extremely precious, can be called a national treasure, the number is very small in the outside world, almost extinct, I can't imagine that it has grown so much here.
Ge Zhuang rolled his eyes, smashed his mouth and asked, "National treasure?" Surely it would be worth a lot of money? β
Chen Yun was angry and said that you can't decorate anything else in your mind except for that bit of economic value?
Ge Zhuang looked aggrieved, and said Big sister, what you said hurt me, is the fat man the kind of person who only pursues interests? Since you said that this thing is an endangered species, the fat man is distressed when he hears it, as a good young man of our party, he naturally wants to make some contributions to the greening of the motherland, little pumpkin, don't be stunned, hurry up and find a shovel, go to the neighborhood to find seedlings, let's transplant a few and plant them at home......
I said that it is important to get down to business first, everything here is always valuable, just the ones that grow on this ground belong to the national treasure level endangered species, let's find one to climb in the sky, isn't it more valuable?
Ge Zhuang nodded hurriedly, and said Yes, little pumpkin, you reminded me of this, hurry up and put away the * first, and find a more valuable one before starting.
Chen Yun was dizzy with anger from the two of us, and was helped by the old bell to walk forward, walking towards the tall building, and the sight was narrowed in the white mist, and we saw clearly that this building was embedded in the central axis of the mountain, not made of stones, but the whole was excavated from the mountain rock, so it looked extraordinarily tall.
Chen Yun stood outside the door and glanced at it a few times, then turned back to us and said, "It seems that this is a temple, and the vines in the house have crowded the courtyard and blocked the view, but there must be something inside, didn't you just think about cutting down trees?" These vine rhizomes will be left to you and the fat man. β
Ge Zhuang spat in the palm of his hand, and said that our eldest sister will not hurt people at all, and we will do all the dirty work, is there such a girl?
Ge Zhuang and I took out* and chopped at the Teng fern plant behind the gate, and it took half an hour to clean up the "temple", and after tearing off the rattan fern hanging in the atrium of the faΓ§ade, a three-eyed stone statue appeared in front of me, I heard a "fluttering" sound from my back, and when I turned around, I saw Ah Li kowtowing to the statue, with a face of piety.
The language barrier, I didn't bother to ask, squinted and looked up, when the eyes gradually got used to the light in the room, only to see the content of the stone statue clearly, but found that this "statue" was actually a faceless man, with a stone mask on his face, only three eyes were exposed, this scene seemed to be similar, like an electric light exploded in my brain, startled my heart contracted, opened my mouth wide "ah" and called.
I was so shocked that I was sweating, if it weren't for Ge Zhuang against me in the back, I would have to sit down on the ground again, and I heard the voice of the old bell in my ears, "Little pumpkin, what's wrong with you?" β
I pointed to the "Mountain God Statue" in front of me, and said with a trembling mouth, "This ...... I've seen this thing before......"
"Where have you seen it?" Ge Zhuang blinked, his face dazed.
I said in a dream, it was last night's dream!
Before I set off early this morning, I had a strange dream, in which I saw a lot of facelings, and there was a guy in a golden mask sitting in the lobby, and the guy with the golden mask looked almost exactly like the mountain god in front of me......
Not only the statue of the mountain god, but also the faceless people I saw in my sleep last night, but none of them belonged to living creatures, but stone statues one after another, kneeling directly below the statue of the mountain god, this face was exactly the same as what I saw in my dream!
I was afraid that these stone statues would suddenly come to life, and rush up and tear me to pieces as if they were in a dream.
Ge Zhuang touched me with his elbow and said Did you offend the mountain god, so he punished you in his dream?
I said no, I entered the ruins of the ancient Yelang, everyone ate and drank together, and even skimmed a strip to go together, you are responsible for pulling the left, I am responsible for pulling the right, and I have to start again if it is asymmetrical, let's do the construction together, how can I have time to offend the mountain god?
