Volume 3: Miao Jiang Gu Realm Chapter 23: The Secret of the Ancient Sewers (3)

I saw that the skeleton on the ground belonged to a child, and when I thought of Nini's past, I couldn't help but feel compassion, and packed the skeleton with Zhao Huasheng's Miao coat, thinking that I would bury it after getting the map out for a while.

At first, I asked Zhao Huasheng to take off his coat, but he refused, and said reluctantly, "For...... Why am I off? I am not related to it, I will not take it off, I will take you off my own! ”

I didn't respond angrily, "Okay, you banana man, you don't have any sympathy at all, it's really a breed raised in the United States, it's pure enough!" ”

As he spoke, he poked his finger at his heart, looked ruffian, and threatened, "Is your heart made of American stone?" Don't you know what warmth is in the world? Can you take it off? If you don't take it off, you can find the map yourself, and the master won't play with you. ”

Zhao Huasheng naturally wouldn't just "tie his hands down", and threaten me with a tooth for a tooth, "Your fat brother's Gu can't be solved?" ”

I had expected him to have this hand, and I smiled coldly in my heart.

Sample! How about playing measurement with me, master? I haven't seen any of the thirty-six schemes! "You're not afraid of vampires! I can tell you! The vampire who just jumped over our heads was the one who attacked you, and ...... "At this point, I deliberately lowered my voice to create a terrifying range" and there are so many dead people here, there must be a lot of lonely ghosts, and your foreign arts can't deal with them. ”

After I turned against the army like this, Zhao Huasheng still obediently tied his hands and took off his coat.

After packing the skeletons, we continued down the tunnel.

Along the way, I was amazed that these skeletons embedded in the top of the wall have never been broken, and they are densely paved all the way! In the dark! They are like lonely ghosts trying to break free from hell, appearing in various hideous postures under the flashlight.

We followed the secret passage to another secret room, and what made my scalp tingle even more was that the entire top of the secret room was inlaid with bones, densely packed, like demons and monsters pressing on us.

I turned on my flashlight and looked at the skeletons, and I noticed a strange phenomenon, they were all inlaid in one direction.

As if a group of people were trying to climb to a gathering point, I saw all the skeletons merge into a wall as the light of the flashlight moved.

Due to the distance, I didn't see the true face of the humanoid relief, only a general outline, but the posture of the humanoid relief is weird and abnormal, not like the posture that a normal person would make.

Driven by curiosity, I approached and took a closer look.

Only after this look did I realize that the fruit engraved in the relief was really not a human, but a monster that looked like a man or beast.

I saw that its ears were hanging to the shoulders, its eyebrows were sunken, its teeth were open and its claws were dancing, its mouth was full of fangs, its lips were fat, its hair was scattered, and it was covered in long hair.

Oh! No! Perhaps it should be said that it is a mother! She was half-arched, clawing at a skeleton that looked more like it had been sucked by the witch with sorcery than by the skeleton crawling on its own, as I had just said!

Looking at such a picture, I not only thought that Professor Ouyang and their academic school should be very interested in this kind of research value.

Because this is a national culture, it is an indispensable part of Chinese history.

On the contrary, tomb robbers like Lao Jin should not be interested in this, because tomb robbers are only interested in burial goods!

This is also the essential difference between the two, although they are both looking for tombs and opening tombs, but the former is for research and to corroborate the evolution of history, while the latter is only for wealth and ill-gotten gains.

By the light of the flashlight, I looked at the whole of the relief again, and behind the half-human, half-beast witch was carved a cave-like background.

The technique used in the background is relatively simple, but it roughly shows the characteristics of the object, which just forms a real and virtual relationship with the monster in front of it, so as to highlight the image of the monster.

The weakening of the background is nothing to see, I have an unobstructed view, but when I see the edge with the background, I was suddenly startled by a sudden human face, he is not Zhao Huasheng's face, and I was frightened and scolded "I grass!" Then he jumped backwards without his body.

The reason why I had such a big reaction, in addition to the sudden appearance of a human face in the dark, was more important, the face was dead gray, without any blood at all, and the face was cross-faced, with a fierce light in his eyes, a fierce look, and a non-scary expression.

Zhao Huasheng was also watching the relief with great interest, but he was really startled by my sudden reaction, and shouted, "What's the matter?" ”

I didn't pay any attention to him, though, because when I flashed back, I saw that the face was also a relief.

I saw that the owner of this face was a tall and mighty man, his upper body was half naked, his muscles were exposed like iron, and his waist was thick and his arms were broad

The legs are round and the momentum is extraordinary.

With a pair of horns on top of his head and a bronze sword in his hand, the head of the sword was facing the half-human, half-beast demon girl, and the image of this person immediately reminded me of Chiyou, who is considered to be the ancestor of the Miao people.

And the half-human, half-beast demon girl his sword refers to should be the legendary lop-eared demon woman.

In the legend of the Miao people, there is a legend of Chiyou vs. the lop-eared demon woman.

Legend has it that when Chiyou was nine years old, he went out to learn art, and in a blink of an eye! In a flash, in the eighteenth year of Chiyou, he returned from his studies and returned to his hometown, but time has passed, and the hometown of singing and dancing has become deserted, and people go to empty buildings.

There is no one in the whole village, and the people in the whole village are evaporated, but the hygiene in every household is like it has just been cleaned, but why is there no one?

Later, Chiyou found Ah Mei in the village in a cowhide drum, and learned from Ah Mei's mouth that the whole village was captured by a monster called the lop-eared demon woman.

Chi You went to the rescue, but this lop-eared demon woman was so powerful, her saliva was poisonous, and she could also heal her own injuries, but Chi You still used the bronze sword given to him by his teacher to kill the lop-eared demon woman and save the whole village.

Suddenly I understood what these skeletons embedded in the top of the wall were trying to express.

It should be the villagers who were captured by the lop-eared demon woman, and Chiyou is rescuing them, so it seems that this place should be built by the Miao people in the past to commemorate Chiyou.

Because the religious beliefs of the Miao people are mainly nature worship and ancestor worship, and Chiyou is their ancestor.

And I guess that these skeletons embedded in the top of the wall are not forced as I thought, but on the contrary, these skeletons should be Miao people who naturally grew old, sick and died.

And the reason why it is embedded here is that its meaning should be to show that the ancestor Chiyou who followed them.

In that case, I have done a bad deed, and if I do take out the bones of the boy just now, will it not prevent him from following his ancestors!

Then he really did a ghost and wouldn't let me go, so he immediately placed the skeleton directly below the Chiyou relief.

In his heart, he secretly said, "Little doll! Uncle almost couldn't stand you, almost beat the mandarin duck, phew! Slip of the tongue, I almost didn't break you up with your ancestors, but fortunately, my uncle and I are witty, so it's okay now, so you can feel the warmth of your ancestors up close. ”

After a muttering in my heart, I got up, and as soon as I turned my head, I suddenly heard a small "Thank you!" from behind me. ”。

Suddenly, I was hit by a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and my whole body couldn't help but explode.

Isn't it, what the hell?

And at that moment, I listened to "On behalf of God, who loves all the world, I thank you that you have a heart like the Virgin Mary, and God will protect you, Amen!" ”

I grass! No way! Do the Miao people believe in God Jesus? Changed the taste? Isn't this a naked betrayal! Hey?! Wrong! The sound is not right!

Immediately look back, grandma's! Sure enough, it was Zhao Huasheng, who was making a serious prayer.

I had the idea of teasing him, so I said solemnly, "Hey! What are you doing? This is the ancestor of the Miao people, Chiyou!

God-like existence, if you pray for Jesus here, you are blaspheming the Miao gods, aren't you afraid that these lonely souls and wild ghosts will pull you to be buried with you? As I spoke, I pointed to the inlaid skeletons!

When Zhao Huasheng heard this, his face changed, and he said incoherently, "Nan Wu Amitabha......" At this point, he himself realized that something was wrong, and immediately stopped the car and changed his words, "Great compassion...... no!no!no!,ohgod! What is it? ”

After a short period of nervousness, Zhao Huasheng threw a look of help at me, presumably to ask me what I should say? I thought to myself, it's almost done, but I can't tell him that I'm scared of him, so I imitate the dancing god, and casually babble a few words for him to imitate.

Afterwards, Zhao Huasheng also admired my erudition and talented, and praised me vigorously, I was a little embarrassed, after all, I was fooling people, so he stopped and said, "This place is not suitable for a long time, let's hurry up and find a map, I am still in a hurry to save people!" ”

He doesn't know exactly what kind of map Zhao Huasheng is looking for! We searched for several rounds but didn't find any maps.

Not even anything related to it has been found, and there is nothing in this place except for a few narrative reliefs.

After finding it in the third circle, I thought it would be a waste of time to go on like this, Zhao Huasheng could afford it, but the fat man couldn't afford to waste it, and after thinking about it secretly, I felt that I should start from other aspects, so I asked him if he had more information about the map, maybe not here.

But Zhao Huasheng said with certainty: "As long as you are not mistaken, the feng shui mouth I gave you must be here."

Because when you fell asleep, I searched all the sewers above, and this is the only one

There are secrets in a place. ”

I am very confident that I should say, "Feng Shui is definitely not wrong, and I am very confident in this." Then he asked rhetorically, "Then how do you know that the map must be hidden in Feng Shui, and the location is absolutely pointed?" ”

Zhao Huasheng explained that all of these were recorded in Mr. Wang Qiming's notebook, and he opened the notebook to show me!

I asked Zhao Huasheng to help me with the flashlight and read it.

There is a record in the notebook that Wang Qiming came to this half-baked Miao village 30 years ago......

The so-called raw and cooked here does not mean that the food is raw and cooked, but that the Miao people can be divided into three seedlings.

One is raw seedlings, the other is mature seedlings, and the third seedling is a Gu seedling that is good at playing Gu.

Because not all Miao people can cheat, this is just like not all Chinese know martial arts, but this trick is not like martial arts, you can learn it by finding a master if you want to learn it.

There are many ways to go here, as I said earlier, women are not passed on to men, and they have to be the descendants of the Gu Miao clan.

As for raw seedlings and mature seedlings, the former refers to Miao people who are not assimilated by the Han people, or even have no contact with the outside world.

Mature Miao refers to Miao people who can marry with other villagers, including Han people, or even have been assimilated by Han people.

The word "shengmiao" was first seen in the "Taizong Yongle Record" in the Yongle TV year of the Ming Dynasty, and the mature seedling was seen in the "Qianji" by Guo Zizhang in the Ming Dynasty.

Now there is no record of the distribution of raw seedlings and mature seedlings, because since the reform and opening up, they have basically been sinicized, just like the thousands of Miao households now, all of them are mature seedlings, and there may be only the three strange old women we saw yesterday as raw seedlings, and they are also Gu seedlings in raw seedlings.

It is written in the notebook that Wang Qiming came here to find an ancient seedling village that was isolated from the world and forgotten by time, and the seedlings are not like mature seedlings and are not easy to touch.

The original text reads: "Sheng Miao, an isolated and mysterious ethnic minority, who live in their own territory, have their own language and customs, they are fierce, bloody, righteous, and even savage, and defend their homeland and faith with their lives.

Their beliefs and territories are absolutely forbidden to foreign invasion, but they are not the same as the barbarians of primitive tribes, they have their own conventional civilization and culture. ”

Through Wang Qiming's notebook, he learned that he found the Shengmiao Village hidden in the deep mountains and old forests, but because he violated the local taboo, he almost died, and was later rescued by the mature seedling guide.

After experiencing life and death once, Wang Qiming didn't dare to explore the tiger's den alone, but drew the map so that he could come back next time.

And keep the map in a mysterious place, and this mysterious place is the Xuanlong Pass that Feng Shui Kou refers to.

It is also where we are now, seeing this, I saw that there was a page missing from the notebook, which was obviously torn off, and it must be the piece of paper that Zhao Huasheng placed in our room with feng shui indications.

Zhao Huasheng, who was on the side, saw me close the notebook and said, "According to my host, after this expedition ended, this Mr. Wang Qiming emigrated abroad for unknown reasons, and later disappeared mysteriously, just a few years ago.

Before, my client also found a few private detectives to help them find people, but those private detectives were all looking for me in foreign countries, and after a few years of no results, the client found me, and I also searched abroad for two months, and there was still no trace.

Later, through the contents of this notebook, I wondered if he would come back to China and fulfill his wish 30 years ago. ”

I see! After listening to Zhao Huasheng's narration, I suddenly looked at this banana man differently, and it seemed that he was still very professional, because it was written in the notebook that Wang Qiming had an emergency and fled and left here overnight.

He left China with his wife shortly afterward, but his notebook did not write anything about what had happened.

But judging from this clue, Zhao Huasheng's thinking is right, because people who engage in archaeology and academic research, especially those who are accomplished, have the knot of completing their unfinished research projects.

And I vaguely feel that the unexpected situation that happened back then is also the reason for Wang Qiming's disappearance now, but what does this have to do with me?

My own knot is not finished, naturally I won't meddle with rats, go to help Zhao Huasheng, as long as I help him find the map, let him ask for more blessings for the rest!

I had a big plan in my heart, so I was ready to continue looking for the map, but as soon as I turned my head and looked at Zhao Huasheng, my scalp suddenly went numb, and goosebumps all over my body immediately exploded.

I saw that on Zhao Huasheng's right shoulder, a little hand like a baby appeared at some point, and a strange face, it was staring at me!
