Volume 1 The Corpse Maze Chapter 13 Tianxin Rock Tree

The fat man slept very peacefully, he didn't stop snoring for two hours, Qin Feng pushed him a few times and didn't react at all, I was already annoyed by his snoring, I raised my foot and kicked his ass, he was about to stand up as soon as he stood up, but the belt on his body was still tied to the tree, he was dragged and scolded, and he looked at me with a curse in his mouth, "Damn, we have to sleep well when we work, we are doing manual labor." ”

I didn't bother to talk to him, there was no sunlight in the woods, plus a night of running, two hours of sleep, and my body barely recovered a little strength, but the gray forest gave me more and more psychological depression. At this point, I just want to get out of here quickly, and I don't bother to care about the rest.

Qin Feng gave us the boiled compressed biscuits, to be honest, the boiled compressed biscuits have become batter, this kind of military biscuits contain a lot of calories, eating a piece can provide energy for a short time, but this taste is really not good, it's okay to eat it once or twice, now I smell this smell is a churning in my stomach, and I almost vomited.

The forest was still a little cold in the morning, and the fog had faded, but the dew on the trees was extremely heavy, and our clothes were already wet, and with yesterday's sweat stains, they were now slimy and stinky. My feet have been swollen, as if embedded in the military boots, I can't pull them out if I want to, and now my feet feel extremely itchy, like countless ants crawling past the soles of my feet, itching I grinned, and I couldn't scratch through the military boots, so I could only step on the trunk of the tree and rub it, and I felt that the skin was broken inside.

We counted the equipment, and everything else was fine, but there were only two boxes of bullets left. This kind of bullet can only be bought from the black market, unlike the iron sand bullet of the earth gun, which can be made by itself, it is really one less than one, so I told the fat man to try to grab as little as possible, and to save the point to enter the bucket to save his life.

Qin Feng beckoned us to gather next to the smokeless stove to dry the clothes, and he went up along the trunk of the tree, the fat man hurriedly asked what to do, I simply said that Qin Feng and I considered the situation, this situation can only climb to the tree according to the position of the sun to determine the direction, fortunately, the area of this black bamboo ditch is not large, and the length of the east and west is only more than 1,000 meters, in the forest due to the fog can not be seen too far, but in the tree can be seen clearly, as long as the direction is set, it is still easy to go out.

After waiting for about five or six minutes, there was a noise in the trees, and when we looked up, we saw Qin Feng sliding down. With a gloomy face, I asked, "Little brother, how is it, have you set the direction?" ”

He didn't answer me, but lit a dry cigarette to himself, and exhaled a deep puff of smoke, which I could smell faintly smelling of herbs. I've heard of this, this is a kind of cigarette made with a mixture of herbs and tobacco, which is complicated and expensive.

"There's something weird about this forest." Another puff of smoke came out, and he said slowly: "You can't use a compass here, you can only see with your eyes, and you will all follow me later." ”

After speaking, without waiting for us to react, he grabbed his backpack and swung down from the tree, landing lightly and steadily, not at all like the weak feeling of yesterday. I made eye contact with the fat man and quickly slid down to keep up. At this time, the fat man was also confused, he also felt that Qin Feng was not the same as yesterday, but he couldn't say it at all, it felt like his body was occupied by another soul at this time, and the eyes revealed were the kind of calm look, without the worries and panic of yesterday.

Both Junko and Fat were a little worried, I understood what they meant, this little brother was becoming more and more incomprehensible now, and the more he reached his destination, the more surprisingly calm he became. I remembered what he said again, I am on your side. I immediately felt that my head was big for a while, and my mind was groggy and in a state of extreme fatigue, and I didn't have the heart to think about it carefully at the moment, so I hurriedly beckoned the fat man to follow.

After walking more than 200 meters, the fat man suddenly stopped, and when I asked him what he was doing, he pointed to a tree in front of us and said, "Why do I feel so familiar with this tree?" "I suddenly felt a tightness in my heart, I thought to myself, wouldn't it, could it be that I came back again? The fat man waved his hand to signal us not to move, walked over and drew the dagger on his waist and slashed a few times on the tree, and suddenly shouted, "Eh, this is a stone tree." ”

I heard the fat man say this, and walked over and touched it a few times, and sure enough, under the moss covered was a stone tree, and the gray trunk was full of grooves, and if it weren't for the fat man's sharp eyes, we wouldn't have seen it at all. I thought to myself, how could there be a stone tree here, and it seemed that this tree had been hollowed out and stuffed into it, and the bark on the surface continued to grow along the grooves of the stone tree, but I still found that this tree was a little different from other trees.

This tree, too straight, straight to make people suspicious, more like a pillar wrapped in a tree.

Even a tree with a very high density like the golden silk nanmu has a scab on the surface and a certain amount of tilt and twisting, and it is impossible for it to grow so straight, and the only possibility is that the trunk of this tree grows along the stone, at least the height of five or six meters that we can see, is this stone.

I have the impression that stone trees are generally placed in burial chambers as funerary objects, and the surface is coated with gold dust, which is a symbol of wealth and status. This kind of gilded stone tree has been unearthed in the Pingling Song tomb in Jiangxi, but basically no one on the market accepts this thing, in the final analysis, it is just a stone, and it has little value.

I thought about telling the fat man about this, telling him that maybe this was an ancient tomb in the past, and then for some reason, the ancient tomb collapsed, and the tree was exposed, and it was covered in bark, and it happened to be like this.

"No, I've seen the kind of tree you said, but the carvings on it are all some pictures of ascending immortals, and on this tree, what is carved is not a picture, but more like some words, you take a closer look."

Qin Feng seldom spoke like a stuffy gourd along the way, and then suddenly said: "This is the Tianxin Rock Pillar used for sacrifice, and this may have been a sacrificial pit before. ”

The fat man hurriedly asked the little brother what the Tianxin Rock Pillar was and what it was for. The stuffy gourd said slowly: "If I guess correctly, this black bamboo ditch is a sacrificial pit in ancient times, here, there should be five such Tianxin rock pillars, you touch it yourself to see if there is rock powder on your hands." "We were busy touching the place where the fat man had scratched off the bark, and sure enough, when we touched the place where we had touched it, we felt that the stone was particularly smooth, and there was gray-white rock powder on our hands.

"This is the Zhenling Pillar, during the ancient sacrifice, a pillar will be erected in the southeast, north, west and northwest of the sacrificial pit, and the sacrificial prayer will be engraved on it, and then the sacrificial slave will be tied to the top, and the blood will flow along the groove on the pillar to the bottom of the stone pillar to bleed, and finally build a blood pool in the middle of the sacrificial pit, and there will be a larger stone pillar in the pool, and the blood will flow into the blood pool along the drainage groove for blood sacrifice."
