"This is Professor Zhou Yang of the Guizhou Provincial Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology."

"This is the family of the victim over there in Sichuan."

Lu Xing briefly introduced both sides, and then asked instead, "What about the results of the investigation?" ”

The man named Zhou Yang was an old man of a little age, full of white hair, wearing a pair of thick eyes with a high degree of myopia, he barely looked at us squarely, he was very busy, and in his hands were all kinds of dirt bag collection bags, as well as reports.

"It is a cedar tree recorded in the epic of the Yi people."

"Cedar? Didn't the previous report from Beijing rule out the existing tree species in Guizhou? Lu Xing asked.

On the empty platform, a strong wind suddenly came, and there was an uproar in the crowd. Professor Zhou tightened his hat and finally took the time to look at Lu Xing, but he didn't move his eyes to us from beginning to end: "Why did you bring your family here?" ”

"Isn't that trying to keep track of progress? You must know that this case, from Jiangxi to Sichuan, and then to Guizhou, may even be transnational now, and our only clue is that tree. ”

"Do you know what that petroglyph on the other side is?" Zhou Yang asked.

Lu Xing couldn't figure out how he could ask such a question, and shook his head.

According to the Yi literature "Leotyi", the heavens descended the spirit fruit seeds to fall in the lower realm, and after three years and nine lives, they finally grew into a fir giant, but they have always looked like people and non-people, like trees and not trees, and finally with the help of Bi Mo, the ancestor of mankind. After becoming the ancestor, the giant began to create human beings, but in order to repay Bimo, the giant built a temple in the woods, the temple is the origin of mankind, and legend has it that there is a demon sealed for the world, but after the cedar giant defeated it, he remembered that it was also a life, so he suppressed him forever under the abyss of the temple, so that we have it, and the legend of the god tree and the temple has been handed down. The cedar giant could reach the heavens until it died, when he turned into a tree that enveloped the temple, leaving no trace of the temple to be found. Zhou Yang almost recited this passage as if he were chanting a scripture.

"Oh, that's what you deduced from the rock paintings." Lu Xing's mind turned, "That means that there may be that cedar tree in that mountain?" ”

When he said this, he glanced at me and my second uncle, and the meaning was very clear, that is, to tell us that we didn't run in vain, and grandpa's affairs should have been settled.

"That's not right!" The second uncle still couldn't understand, "Then why did my dad appear here in Heizhugou, Sichuan, instead of Liupanshui?" ”

"Huh!" Lu Xing scratched his head and looked at Zhou Yang.

Zhou Yang shook his head and said that he cared about my.

They didn't say a word, but I didn't listen, because all my thoughts at this time were on the mural opposite, Zhou Yang just said, it was the fir giant recorded in the Yi epic, the giant turned into the Tongtian Divine Tree after his death, and the bottom of the Divine Tree is a temple. Temple? When I heard this just now, my heart jumped, yes, it was there, it was what I saw in the ancient tomb of the Marquis of Haidu, and under the huge trees was the temple.

Found it, it should have been found, this place is the place where the Marquis of Hailun sent people to find the keel.

"I'm sorry, I want to ask a question, may I ask, is there a habit of standing stones in the temples of the Yi people?" I interjected, because I remembered that in the original fresco, there were indeed two huge stones in front of the temple.

"That's the stone of West Africa, it's the ······ of repression." Zhou Yang lowered his head and looked at the soil bag sample, and answered my question almost instinctively, but halfway through his words, he stopped talking and glanced back at me.

This old guy has a small squinting eye, hooked nose, when he looks at me, he tries to widen his eyes, squeezing out layers of forehead lines on his forehead, looking at it is a human spirit, the kind that is more refined than Zhuode.

"How do you ask this?" I was a little dazed when he looked at it, and only after half a sound did he stagger and say, "There is no West African stone in front of the Yi temple today, where did you know about it?" ”

I was a little stunned by his question, and I didn't speak for a few minutes.

The old guy chuckled: "Xiao Lu, there is a problem with your friend!" ”

I was frightened by his words, this old thing is too good. Countless thoughts flew around in my head, like I didn't write my homework when I was studying, and I was caught by the teacher, thinking about how to explain it?

Fortunately, as he finished saying this, a student came running up and interrupted his gaze at me, only to see the student holding a bag of dirt and asking, "Teacher, this is the information of the soil layer." ”

Zhou Yang slowly withdrew his eyes, glanced at the soil, nodded, and said with a smile: "Yes, there is indeed a tomb in the mountain opposite, you see, the first layer is the cultivated soil layer, the second layer is the cultural layer, and the third layer is the raw soil layer. ”

I listened to Zhou Yang's words in my ears, and I knew that as soon as he finished his business, it was very likely that he would immediately unmask me.

But coincidentally, the student nodded, suddenly looked at me, and shouted, "Brother Kuang! ”

I was awakened by this shout, and when I looked at it, it was Chen Xiaofei.

"Xiaofei, do you know him?" Zhou Yang was also stunned for a moment.

"Of course I do." Chen Xiaofei then talked about our experience in Heizhugou, Sichuan, many of which trumpeted my amazing deeds, what kind of person shocked the dog demon, scared the monster with the Yuan Baby, and even woke up the ancient giant.

I wiped the sweat from my head, thinking to myself that this guy can really blow it, and all good adventure movies have been blown into science fiction movies, "Why did you come here?" ”

"Professor Zhuo has been a little busy lately, so he arranged for me to come here!" Chen Xiaofei looked at me, "Brother Guo, why are you here?" Or is it because of your grandfather? ”

I didn't speak, but Zhou Yang figured it out a little.

"Oh! It turned out that I saw it in Sichuan. Zhou Yang said, "The matter over there, Xiao Zhuo told me, indeed, the matter over there involves some ancient myths, legends and relics, although we can't be sure of the existence of those things, but we can't deny that it's not, your grandfather's matter, we and the police will deal with it, so you don't need to take that risk." ”

I spared my head and giggled hehe, unconsciously realizing that my back was already soaked with sweat. I was afraid that Lu Xing would suddenly ask me something in response to Zhou Yang's question, but fortunately, when I turned around, Lu Xing had already stepped aside to answer the phone. But the second uncle stared at me, his eyes full of doubts.

I shrugged my shoulders and spread my hands, thinking to myself that even if I had been in the tomb, I would have been held hostage, and I hadn't taken anything!

"That's ······." Lu Xing came over at this time: "I'm sorry, I may not be able to send you back, I have to go to the mountains, you can take Professor Zhou's car back later." ”

In that old man's car? It's better to let me die, I was about to say no, Zhou Yang spoke: "I won't go back today, looking at the bad weather, I have to rush the deadline, and you guessed right, there is indeed an ancient tomb in the mountain, and those two foreigners are probably tomb robbers." ”

"I'll talk about it later, there are people in Guizhou who have handed over, by the way, did someone go back?" Lu Xing was a little anxious, obviously he had encountered something more urgent over there.

"How do I know?" The old guy who does academics is really unkind, and he refuses without thinking about it.

Lu Xing couldn't help it, he thought about it, and finally sighed: "Forget it, you guys come with me, it's not a big deal anyway." ”

"That's fine!" The second uncle nodded, looked at me again, lowered his head and whispered in my ear: "Look, maybe I can go to the Yi village to play around." ”

I raised my finger at my second uncle. I thought, damn, this second uncle is really possessed by the god of Europe, when I was finally ready to blackmail him, who would have thought that this Lu Xing's unlucky bastard would run out, please eat, and take us to play.

That's it, we came in a hurry, and we were in a hurry, I didn't have a good chat with Chen Xiaofei for a while, so I left in a hurry, Lu Xing said in the car, there is a Yi village nearby, something happened, I have to hurry over, so I'm sorry, you can only accompany me to run once, and I will arrange for you to rest in the village later, you guys, it's a trip.

"What's the matter? In such a hurry? The second uncle sat in the passenger seat and lit a cigarette and rolled down the window.

Next, Lu Xing told us what happened.

Just a few months ago, someone in the Yi village on the other side of Liupanshui reported that there were unknown creatures attacking cattle and sheep on the mountain, and the losses were a bit heavy. At that time, the police officers in Liupanshui went over, investigated the traces of the scene, and also went into the mountains to investigate for a day, but found nothing, and had no choice but to ask the relevant agencies to pay the people in the village a little money. But when the local police thought that this was the end of the matter, a week ago there was a commotion again, saying that someone saw that the creature had run into the village in the middle of the night, and that it was a monster, and the monster was not afraid of people, so he rushed into the cattle pen, bit a few cows to death, and left.

Then those villagers made trouble, at that time, Lu Xing happened to be here to assist in the investigation because of my grandfather's case, and he couldn't draw anyone out of the Liupan Water Police Station, so he went over with him, and at that time he said that he was also curious, even if this tiger and bear bit him to death, why did he still make a monster? I thought it was the villagers who wanted to extort money, so they investigated and collected evidence, and did not pay compensation immediately, but today it was good, and a person was bitten to death directly on the mountain.

This dead man is different from the situation of dead livestock, and the villagers over there immediately became a little angry, saying that the public security organs did not do anything, fooled the people, and buttoned up any high hats, but at this time, Liupanshui couldn't pump out people for a while, and they just knew that Lu Xing was in this area, so they temporarily asked him to go over to deal with it, and they arrived later.

As he spoke, Lu Xing handed us the phone, I lay on the passenger seat, glanced at a pencil drawing on it, and suddenly felt that I had seen something drawn on it.

"This is something we drew based on the dictation of the villagers, you see, where in the world can there be such monsters? And they will walk upright. Lu Xing shook his head, obviously feeling very puzzled.

But when he mentioned this, I remembered it, isn't this painting the lynx I saw in Yelang Ancient Village, Heizhugou?
