Ah Ci didn't know what words to use to describe Tong Yan, so he said, "He is a very good person. ”

Liang Zhan listened to this sentence, and felt a little uncomfortable, "Then I am good to you?" ”

Ah Ci looked back at Liang Zhan and was silent for a long time, Liang Zhan thought she wouldn't answer, but heard her say, "You are different from him." ”

Liang Zhan didn't ask any further, and lit a fire, and Ah Ci skewered the stripped bamboo rats with branches, and roasted them on the fire.

After a while, the smell of meat overflowed, and after the three of them shared the bamboo rat meat, they regained some strength, but the biggest trouble now is that there is no water.

After drinking the last sip of water, Liang Zhan felt desperate, if there was no water in this weather, he could almost only wait for death after heat stroke.

Liang Zhan pulled Ah Ci up and asked with concern, "Can you still go?" ”

Ah Ci's physical fitness is not bad, and he nodded: "I can still walk." ”

Liang Zhan turned his head to look at me Linnaeus beside him again, and Linnaeus smiled at Liang Zhan: "I can too, then let's move on now." ”

Liang Zhan extinguished the fire, the weather was too dry, and if it caught fire, the whole mountain might be burned.

"I knew I would bring a compass when I came out, but now I can't even make out the direction. You can only make your initial judgment by looking at the direction of the sun. ”

Liang Zhan only felt that his mouth was dry, so he could only say less. This time it was really a waste of saliva.

This time, a few people only walked for more than ten minutes, and there was no way to walk, there was a rock wall in front of them, and there was no road around. Unless you go back.

Ah Ci looked around, never so desperate as now, Linnaeus sat down on the grass in frustration: "I really can't walk, do we have to go back?" Even if you go back, you can't find any other way out. It's really weird here. ”

Liang Zhan glanced at Ah Ci and said, "You and Linnaeus are waiting here, I'll go to the left to take a look, and if I find anything, I'll come back and call you." ”

Ah Ci's physical strength was not as good as Liang Zhan's, and he really couldn't walk, so he also sat on the ground and said to him, "You go, I'll wait for you here." ”

Liang Zhan kept thinking about how to get some water back, he was afraid to drink the water here before, but now they were so thirsty that they were almost dehydrated. In this desperate need for water, it is no longer possible to care whether the water here can be drunk or not.

Anyway, it's a dead end, and it's better to drink water and drink enough than to die here in the end, and it won't be as uncomfortable as it is now.

Liang Zhan looked around, and found that the rock wall was quite big, and he was also tired, so he walked forward with his help on the rock wall, and suddenly his fingertips touched some strange lines, and he subconsciously turned his head to look at the rock wall.

The rock wall was covered with vines, and I could only faintly see that something was carved on it. Liang Zhan took out a knife and cut off all the vines and trees on the rock wall, and slowly those images on the rock wall were revealed in front of Liang Zhan's eyes.

These murals look a little creepy, and they always feel like a cult is holding some kind of sacrifice, and the entire rock wall is full of carvings.

He first went back to Ah Ci and told them about the discovery of the rock wall.

Ah Ci seemed to be very interested, got up and walked with Liang Zhan, Linnaeus was so tired that she didn't want to move anymore, but in the quiet mountains, leaving her here alone, she couldn't help but feel a little frightened.

So I had to cheer up and follow.

Ah Ci and Liang Zhan cut off all the vines and trees on the rock wall, and presented the murals on the entire rock wall in front of their eyes.

The things painted on it are actually not difficult to understand, the first one is a little girl who is standing in the village, and many villagers have come out to watch, as for why she is watching her, Ah Ci didn't understand.

The second one is also in the village, but the difference is that the villagers who used to be strong and young are old, but the little girl is still a little girl.

In the third picture, the little girl is tied to a very strange place, and there are many strange patterns painted around her.

In the fourth, the village is gone, and behind it is a cemetery.

In the fifth, the graveyard is gone, and the village is back to its original state, the little girl is still tied, but the villagers begin to worship her.

In the sixth, there are people with guns entering the village, looking like an army. The little girl was untied, and the strange patterns around her were gone.

The seventh picture is back to the appearance of the fourth, the only difference is that the little girl is gone. But they continued to worship something.

In the eighth picture, a poisonous snake bites its own tail, and if you look closely, this poisonous snake is composed of many small insects.

Liang Zhan and Ah Ci watched back and forth, and Linnaeus swallowed and spat in fear: "I always feel that this thing is very evil, do you understand what it means?" ”

Liang Zhan shook his head: "I only understand part of it." The first one, is there a little girl in the village suddenly, so the villagers all ran out to see? Then he took the little girl in. ”

Liang Zhan thought for a moment and pointed to the second one: "Those villagers suddenly turned into old people, surrounding the little girl, what does this mean?" Because the little girl takes good care of the old people in the village? ”

Ah Ci glanced at Liang Zhan and whispered: "Idiot, these seven pictures are alluding to the origin of these insects behind it." ”

Liang Zhan and Lin Nai looked at Ah Ci in surprise.

Ah Ci calmly explained: "The first picture you are right, one day in the village, a strange little girl came, and the kind villagers took her in, and the little girl took turns to eat a hundred family meals. But after a few decades, the people who took in the little girl are old, but the little girl is still the same. At this time, these people began to be afraid of her, thinking that she was an auspicious thing, a monster that would suck people's essence and yang, and would always maintain the appearance of a little girl. ”

So the villagers began to tie up the little girl and put some charms around her to stop her from harming others. This little girl may really be a spirit, and she thinks that the villagers have hurt her, so she kills everyone in the village, and only then will a graveyard appear in the fourth picture. ”

But one day, the dead suddenly came back to life, and the village seemed to be restored to its original state. The villagers began to worship the place where the little girl was tied, and from the beginning of the worship, in fact, the villagers were no longer human, but an incorruptible body controlled by insects. ”

"After many, many years, these villagers have maintained the appearance of immortality, and suddenly one day a group of People's Liberation Army came to the village, and found the strangeness of the villagers hiding here, they regarded the villagers as monsters, and they did not know how to kill these villagers. They found the little girl tied up, so they loosened the tie for the little girl. ”

"In the seventh picture, the little girl is gone, and they continue to worship, because they began to find out that the little girl is not an ordinary person, so they tied the little girl back again, but their bodies have begun to be parasitized by insects, and they have become new villagers here, and they have been accompanying this little girl."

"In the eighth picture, the snake bites its own tail, even the beginning is the end, it doesn't matter the beginning and the end, the parasitism of insects from generation to generation, and this kind of thing has been circulating to this day."

After listening to Ah Ci's explanation, Liang Zhan and Lin Naeus suddenly realized, and Liang Zhan sighed: "Ah Ci, how do you understand?" ”

Ah Ci: "It's not difficult to understand at all. Just contact everything that happened before. ”

Liang Zhan still admired her very much: "That may be my brain is not good, but what should we do now?" ”

Ah Ci pointed to the little girl on the rock wall: "Maybe we can find her so that we can solve all the mysteries and get out of here." ”

Liang Zhan: "Do you really believe that the paintings on this rock wall are real?" ”

Ah Ci glanced at Liang Zhan: "Is there any reason to suspect that it is fake?" We've got it all in detail. Only this girl we have never been able to find. ”

"Okay, then listen to you, let's go find this girl." Liang Zhan now trusts Ah Ci's intuition and judgment, and he feels that the more dangerous Ah Ci is, the more he can deal with it calmly.

This is very different from ordinary people, maybe you can get out of here, only by relying on Ah Ci.

Liang Zhan looked back at Linnaeus: "Ah Ci and I are going to look for this girl on the rock wall, are you with us, or are you waiting in place?" ”

Linnaeus looked around and shuddered: "Although I'm quite tired now, I'm still with you, I'm really scared to stay here alone." ”

"Ah Ci, let's go."

Ah Ci was still staring at the murals and said, "How did they kill the villagers?" ”

A picture suddenly flashed in Liang Zhan's mind, and he said: "I went to find Brother Feng and them before, and I saw those black bugs left in place that didn't have time to parasitize a new host, and I burned them all to death with a fire. ”

"Fire ......" Ah Ci took a deep breath, "Insects are afraid of fire, and there is incense." Actually, just treat those bugs as normal bugs. The only difference is that these bugs are huge in number and can parasitize the human body. ”

Liang Zhan seemed to have thought of something, quickly picked up some dry firewood, then found a piece of clothing and tore it into pieces, tied three torches, and lit it with a lighter.

"You take this, so if you encounter insects, you will burn them, and you will definitely not dare to get close."

So the three of them searched the neighborhood carefully, and finally made a new discovery, they found a huge stone next to the rock wall, and the stone block was engraved with an incomprehensible inscription.

The stones are boxy, and I don't know what is written on them, like an ancient text.

Ah Ci squatted down and looked at the big stone in all directions, took the knife in his hand, and dug up all the surrounding soil, and found that there was a passage below, and this passage was built with red bricks on all sides, indicating that the people who had relied on it before attached great importance to vigilance.

"What is this?" Liang Zhan's eyes widened, and he squatted down to look at the stone tablet in front of him.

Ah Ci touched the stele and said, "If you guess correctly, there is a passage below, and no one knows where it leads." ”

The atmosphere suddenly became tense. Even feeling difficulty breathing, and after a long silence, Liang Zhan handed the torch to Ah Ci and stepped forward to try if he could move the stone tablet.

But after trying several times, the stele was too heavy to move at all.

Ah Ci stopped him, "Don't waste your efforts, it's useless. I want to open this stele and try the leverage. ”

Liang Zhan clapped his hands, "I'll go find a thicker wooden stick." You wait. ”

After a while, Liang Zhan found a stick and came back, it was relatively strong, after finding the support point, Liang Zhan tried hard to pry the stele, who wanted the stele to not move at all, the stick was broken, and Liang Zhan's hands began to go numb at that moment.

Liang Zhan's expression was grim, he shook his numb hand, frowned and said, "This thing probably can't be pried open, and I don't know how to open it." ”

Linnaeus was uneasy. Persuaded: "Since it can't be opened, then let's not open it, right?" It's not necessarily a good thing to open this thing, but if it's full of worms, aren't we dead? ”

The servants were silent for a while, and Ah Ci stared at the stone tablet in front of him for a long time, and looked like he was enchanted and stretched out his hand to press the pattern on the stone tablet.

Suddenly a clicking sound was heard, and the three of them exchanged glances, as if something had indeed been opened just now.

Liang Zhan took a deep breath and looked at Ah Ci and Linnaeus: "You guys stand back, I'll see if I can open this stone tablet, if it's really a bug." If you stand farther away, you will have a chance to escape. ”

Linnaeus hurriedly ran away after hearing this, and saw that Ah Ci was still standing still, Liang Zhan frowned, and reminded again: "Ah Ci, you stand on Linnaeus's side." ”

Ah Ci said with an indifferent face: "I'm standing here." ”

Liang Zhan's brows furrowed even deeper: "It's dangerous." ”

Ah Ci: "I'm not afraid of danger, you open it, we will never die here, if you really die here, I will accompany you." ”

Liang Zhan stared at Ah Ci fixedly, his heart throbbed inexplicably, and he smiled lightly: "Okay." ”

Liang Zhan clenched his fists. When I went to move the stele this time, I felt a lot looser, and I used some force, and the stele began to move.

Although it took a lot of effort, the stele was finally moved.

When the stele gradually moved away, a dark bottomless hole appeared in front of me, and I don't know how deep this hole is.

When I looked up, it was dark and I couldn't see anything, and there was a fishy smell.

Linnaeus stepped forward and looked at it, and shivered, "You dare to go down?" ”

Liang Zhan's Adam's apple rolled down. Looking at Ah Ci: "What do you think?" ”

Ah Ci stared at the entrance of the cave for a long time, took the torch in his hand and shone it inside, the bricks were very far-reaching, and this brick was also decades old.

It seems that this place has been sealed off for many years, and no one has ever visited.

Liang Zhan suddenly thought of something, and asked Ah Ci curiously: "How do you know the way to open this stone stele?" ”

Ah Ci: "I once saw in a book that used such a pattern as a mark, and the symbols on it were actually some numbers, and different patterns represented different counts. ”

Liang Zhan smiled: "Ah Ci, you are really surprising. But how many books have you read? Will you know so much? ”

Ah Ci: "When you're bored, just watch it." ”

Liang Zhan remembered that the first time he saw Ah Ci, it was also the scene when she opened the book, it seems that Ah Ci really likes to read books, and there are no taboos.

Linnaeus glanced at them impatiently: "Don't talk anymore, what are we going to do in this situation now?" If you want to talk, you can talk as long as you want when we get out of here. ”

Ah Ci glanced at Linnaeus lightly, looked around, and pointed to the vine wood over there and said, "Tie these vine trees into a rope and see if you can go down?" ”

Linnaeus looked helpless: "So you still decided to go down?" ”

Liang Zhan saw that Ah Ci asked to go down. So he followed Ah Ci and said: "I believe Ah Ci, since she said that she wants to go down, she naturally has his plans." ”

Who knew that Ah Ci said extremely facelessly: "I don't have any plans, just go down to see myself, I may not be able to bring you up safely, if there is someone who doesn't want to go, just wait on it, we will naturally come back alive." ”

Linnaeus looked away speechlessly, she didn't dare to stay here alone, if something really happened, she was afraid that there would be no way to get out.

Now follow Liang Zhan and them. It's adventurous, but there's still a chance to survive.

After thinking about it, he helped them to pull the rattan wood together, and formed a thick rope, after doing this, it was already the sun and the mountain, and at noon only ate that bit of meat, and the leather was exhausted.

Linnaeus sat on the ground with no strength, she was the least physical strength among them, and said helplessly: "If we continue like this, there is no water to drink, and we don't have to wait for those insects to eat us, we will die a long time ago." ”

Liang Zhan glanced at Linnaeus: "Bear with it first, there will be no way to the sky, there will be a way, maybe there will be water below?" ”

Linnaeus sneered: "I can't find water above, how can there be a water source below?" ”

Liang Zhan didn't pay any attention to her, the speed in his hands sped up a lot, and finally before nine o'clock in the evening, they had finished weaving the rattan wood, which was long enough.

Ah Ci took the new fire that was standing aside and said, "You pull me on it." I'll go down first. ”

Liang Zhan looked up at her suddenly, naturally he wouldn't agree with her doing this, and objected: "No, you go on like this, what if you encounter danger?" ”

"If there's really danger down there, can you do it?" Ah Ci asked rhetorically.

Liang Zhan's face turned blue and white for a while: "At least I'm a boy, I always have a way better than you girls, if you insist on going down first, then let's not go down." ”

Ah Ci glanced at the stubborn Liang Zhan and pouted helplessly, "Okay." You go down first. ”

Ah Ci and Linnaeus tied the rattan rope to a tree and tried the sturdy bearing, and there should be no problem.

In fact, how could Liang Zhan not be afraid, but it was useless to be afraid now, so he could only bite the bullet, hold a torch in one hand, and slowly climb the rattan rope down.

Liang Zhan went down for about five or six minutes before he bottomed out, and this hole was not particularly deep. He didn't dare to shout below, for fear of alarming something unknown down there.

He just tugged on the rope and told them they could come down safely.

I saw the rope moving underneath. Ah Ci raised his chin at Linnaeus: "You go down first?" ”

From the very beginning, Linnaeus never believed in Aci. smiled: "It's better for you to go down first, I'll be the last to go, you are a sister, I should take care of you." ”

Ah Ci glanced at Linnaeus coldly, and she didn't dare to play any tricks, so she went down one step ahead of her.

When I went down, I realized that the hole leading to the middle of nowhere was wide and deep.

Liang Zhan covered his nose and asked Xiang Aci in a deep voice: "Have you smelled any strange smell, it really stinks." ”

Ah Ci is actually no stranger to this kind of smell, and said calmly: "Because there are dead people in it." ”

Liang Zhan glared at Ah Ci: "How do you know?" ”

Ci: "I have smelled the smell of the dead, and I have been dead for a long time. The smell of the dead. ”

Liang Zhan's face turned pale for a while: "I don't know what you've experienced over the years." ”

During the conversation, Linnaeus also came down.

Fortunately, there was plenty of air inside, so the torches could continue to burn, but the smell was a little unpleasant.

This is underneath the mountains, so it's very shady, and happily, it's a mountain water that is soaked in.

Liang Zhan was so thirsty that he took a handful of water with the palm of his hand and took a sip, Linnaeus looked at Liang Zhan with wide eyes, and after waiting for a while, Liang Zhan didn't find anything wrong, so he took another sip.

smiled: "This water is quite sweet, there should be no problem." ”

Hearing Liang Zhan say this, Linnaeus took the empty mineral water bottle and took some water, the water here flowed very thinly, and it took a long time to take half a bottle, she first drank a big sip of it herself, and then handed it to Liang Zhan.

Liang Zhan smiled and didn't drink it, but gave the water to Ah Ci. "You drink first, although you didn't say you were thirsty all the way, I think you must be very thirsty."

Ah Ci silently took the water handed by Liang Zhan and drank all the water in the bottle.

Linnaeus grinded his teeth quietly and stared at Ah Ci with a look of envy. Ah Ci just glanced at her lightly, ignored it, and followed Liang Zhan to continue walking.

Linnaeus knew that Ah Ci was not a simple person, and now had Liang Zhan to protect her.

After walking for a while, the entrance of the cave suddenly turned a corner. The entrance to the cave here is spacious, and the wind is getting stronger, proving that if you keep walking along here, there will be an exit.

Liang Zhan twisted his eyebrows and said, "The smell is getting stronger and stronger." It seems that those things are getting closer and closer to us. ”

Suddenly, Linnaeus tripped over something and screamed. Liang Zhan took a light on the torch and took a picture of it, and it turned out to be a human bone, and Linnaeus had never seen these things, so he immediately screamed in fright.

Liang Zhan covered her mouth: "Don't scream, you'll bring those things over." ”

Linnaeus's eyes widened, and tears fell down her eyes: "Dead, dead." ”

Liang Zhan pursed his lips: "Except for a few of us, all you see in the village are dead people, what's the fuss." ”

Linnaeus swallowed and foamed, "But they are still human, and now they are all a pile of white bones." That's different. ”

Liang Zhan glanced at her and said, "Keep going, you go behind me and Ah Ci." ”

Linnaeus buried her head, a little aggrieved, she was not like Ah Ci, she seemed to be very used to these things, but she had never seen them, and Liang Zhan didn't comfort her.

Suddenly, Ah Ci paused, Liang Zhan looked up, and was stunned by what was in front of him.
