013 Stone Monument
That Xu Daochang was talking and laughing at the entrance of the cave, and I couldn't help but feel numb when I heard it.
He reminded everyone that it was dangerous to run Tiger Ridge, and he took action to detoxify the big head, these are all good deeds, so he doesn't look like a bad person, why is he acting so weird now.
Could it be that he is a sidewalker?
Maybe he has the intention of punishing evil and promoting good, but his methods are not authentic Taoism, so the spell he used tonight is a bit strange.
He should be waiting for an opportunity, and then wipe out all the spirits on Running Tiger Ridge.
I'm worried that Xu Daochang will be jealous and hateful, and when the time comes, he will clean up the other dirty things on the mountain, not to mention, and even the iceberg beauties will be in trouble.
However, listening to Xu Daochang's tone, he won't go up the mountain for a while, so for the time being, I don't need to worry about the iceberg beauty, and the top priority is to think of getting rid of the corpse poison on my body.
Xu Daochang circled around the entrance of the cave, did not enter the cave, jumped into the grass, and swam away quickly like a big snake.
I didn't dare to go until he was far away.
I made a simple torch and carried it into the cave, and there was a foul smell in the cave, and I don't know why the fool didn't smell it in the evening.
Not only does it stink in the cave, but it's also cold.
Although it was very hot outside, the wind was swishing in the cave, and it could be cold to the bones when it blew on my body, so I put the torch close to my body and shivered inside, and the more I went, the colder it became.
In the cave, there is still a big yellow cow of Xiaotong's family, except for the two hind legs and the tail of the cow, which have been eaten into a skeleton by the skeleton.
In the deepest part of the cave, there is a secret room.
It is said to be a secret room, and it is like a tomb for the dead, because in the middle of the secret room, there is a copper coffin.
The lid of the bronze coffin was lifted to the side, presumably where the skeleton usually slept inside.
I stretched out my head to look inside the bronze coffin, and there was a bluestone tablet more than two feet long.
The stele was covered with minced meat and short hairs, so I took off my shirt and wiped the stele and saw that there were a lot of traditional characters written on it.
I can also understand a little bit of the classical Chinese on the stele, to the effect that when the dynasty is changed, the jackals, tigers and leopards on the Running Tiger Ridge often go down the mountain to harm the people, so they have to sacrifice to the mountain god.
So under the leadership of the sorcerer, everyone caught a princess from the previous dynasty, named her Caiyun, sealed it with ancient witchcraft, and carried it to the mountain as a sacrifice.
After reading this, I understood, it turns out that this is the origin of the iceberg beauty.
I've seen some anecdotes about someone who went on an expedition to the Great Snow Mountains and found that an ancient woman who had been frozen had given birth to a child after thawing.
Some people have also done scientific experiments that show that after a fish is frozen, it can be resurrected even if it is frozen.
Now I'm happy, at least it proves that the iceberg beauty is not a ghost or a demon, but a human woman who has been frozen for hundreds of years.
The iceberg beauty has the blood of the royal family flowing on it, and I can't help but be ecstatic.
I just want to find the antidote as soon as possible, see her in a few days, and then slowly find a way to make her go down the Tiger Ridge without being distracted, so that I can take her home.
I saw a neat square hole in the base of the bronze coffin.
I compared the size, and felt that the size of the small hole was so similar to the wooden box with a giant palm given to me by the iceberg beauty.
After thinking about it for a while, I understood that the wooden box was supposed to be a skeleton's thing, which was stolen by the iceberg beauty, and the skeleton moved the stone tablet with the origin of the iceberg beauty from the mountainside as a pillow in retaliation.
No wonder I searched for days and couldn't find it.
I was so frightened just now that I forgot the wooden box that the iceberg beauty gave me, and the giant palm in it might be able to remove the corpse poison from my body.
Thinking of this, I rushed all the way home, took out the wooden box, whether it was a giant's hand or not, and first bit on it, although my teeth could bite the axe, even the mountain spirits were afraid, but I couldn't bite the giant palm.
At this moment, I suddenly felt a stiffness in my muscles, and I fell down on my back.
When I woke up, the sky was bright, I picked up the giant palm from the ground, put it back into the wooden box, and took it to find Xu Da stunned, but Xiao Tong's mother crossed her waist and blocked Xu Da stunned's door, and the big head mother was scolding fiercely.
It turned out that the corpse poison of the big head had just been removed, and Xiaotong's mother came to settle the account.
Xiaotong's mother scolded the big head for being a bad boy stinky hooligan, the toad wanted to eat swan meat, and secretly tricked Xiaotong into the wild to take advantage, but the big head did this, and in the end he couldn't even stand the skeleton anymore, and jumped out to clean up the big head.
Xiaotong's mother asked Xiaotong next to her if this was the case, Xiaotong just cried and didn't speak.
Many people were watching, Xu Da was stunned to persuade Xiaotong's mother, Xiaotong's mother scolded him for being the mastermind behind the scenes, Xu Da was stunned to persuade his wife, his wife scolded other people's families and bullied him, he couldn't get up, he was a wreck.
Xu Da was stunned and caught in the whirlpool, I knew that I couldn't find him for the time being, shaking my body, there was no stiffness, I felt that there were still two days to go anyway, so I simply went to the old street for breakfast first.
In the middle of the old street, crackling firecrackers, a new tavern was originally opened.
I looked over and saw that the boss was limping when he walked, it was Yuan Lao Er, who was smashed by me on the mountain a few nights ago.
It's not a market today, there are not many people on the street, and no one drinks in the morning, so in addition to a place of firecracker crumbs at the door of the tavern, let alone customers, there is no one to see the excitement.
As soon as I passed by, Yuan Lao Er was sitting at the door and saw me at a glance.
Yuan Lao Er beckoned me over, after all, I owed him a favor, so I went over to say hello to him, Yuan Lao Er insisted on leaving me to have breakfast together, and enthusiastically ran to the tavern to pour me tea.
After Yuan Lao Er came out, I said to him, this old street, there are only a few days of people every month, you are not afraid of losing money when you open a tavern.
Yuan Lao Er said that you don't know yet, the small lake over there has dried up, and it will soon be filled, and a branch of a famous high school will be built on it, and there will be more students and parents accompanying the students, so you don't have to worry about no business.
It turned out that Yuan Lao Er had a doorway, and this was the inside information, so I smiled.
"I thought you were a thief, but I didn't expect you to be a serious businessman." I say.
"I have been running for more than 20 years, but now that I have changed my ways, I still have peace of mind to do serious business, and you will always come here to cheer in the future, and I will not charge money for dinner."
When Yuan Lao Er said this, he suddenly asked me in a low voice, have you always been poisoned by corpses.
This Yuan Lao Er is really unusual, I was startled, I was afraid that he would shout out and make everyone know, so I hurriedly asked him how he knew.
"Don't ask about this, I also know that the corpse poison on your body is not simple, if there is no antidote, you won't be able to live for a few days."
I'm most afraid that people will sell me off.
As soon as Yuan Lao Er said this, he pulled him to the tavern and opened the wooden box to show him.
I said that since you own a tavern, you must know a little bit of cooking, do you recognize this thing?
Yuan Lao Er held the wooden box in his hand, looked at it for a long time, and said I really know this.
Yuan Lao Er said that this is the palm of a human bear, and a human bear is a dog bear that has become a sperm, and its facial features are the same as those of people, and the hair on the palm of the hand will also fall off, so there is no hair on this bear's paw.
Yuan Lao Er gave me a thumbs up again and praised: "You are still very old, no wonder you have been poisoned by the perilla corpse, and you can still walk around the street, it turns out that you have already obtained the antidote." ”
I remember last night, Xu Daochang said that only the billet staff can detoxify the perilla corpse, I don't know what the billet cane he said is, it seems that he is only half right, in addition to the billet cane, this giant palm can also detoxify.
As a result, Yuan Lao Er told me again that the man-bear is called Zong, and the man-bear's palm is also called Zongzhang.
It turned out that Xu Daochang was not wrong, but the palm and the billet staff had the same sound, and I misunderstood.
This Yuan Lao Er is also a knowledgeable person, I said in my heart that I can't underestimate him in the future, so I said that Boss Yuan can do a favor and make a palm, I don't like to eat raw.
Yuan Lao Er immediately put on an apron and said Don't worry, in the future, I will basically be in charge of this tavern myself, and I am a foodie, making a bear's paw, which is not difficult.
After Yuan Lao Er finished speaking, he closed the door of the store again, saying that the bear's paw should be eaten secretly.
I also know that it is illegal to eat bear's paws, but my life is at stake, and I have no way not to eat it.
Yuan Lao Er said that the bear's paw is not delicious, the longer it is sealed, the better it tastes, and the years of this bear's paw are not short, it must be steamed and then stewed and carefully simmered, and it is very delicious after it is cooked.
In the process of Yuan Lao Er's bear paw, I stared without blinking.
After all, my life is now in the hands of this bear's paw.
If something goes wrong, it's too late for me to cry.
