Book 2: The Bronze Hanging Coffin of the Ba People Chapter 76: The Dead

When I was making fun of Dachangtong, the ghost on the side didn't know whether he was serious or joking, and he said to Dachangtong, "Tong! Do you know what our snipers do when they are on a mission so that the enemy hounds don't smell us? ”

Dachangtong looked shameless and asked, "Brother Bing, teach me!" ”

The ghost smiled and said, "In addition to smearing something special on yourself to cover up the smell, you also have to pull all the feces and urine in a plastic bag, and then pack it up and bury it in the ground, so do you bring a plastic bag?" If not, then you're going to have to hold back. ”

Dachang Tong sighed, showing an aggrieved and surprised expression, and then said something that made me almost squirt, only to hear him say, "Then what if I want to fart?" Are you holding it back? The problem is that I can't hold back that job! ”

At this time, Lanxin probably couldn't listen anymore, and interrupted us and said, "Okay!" Get down to business! I just looked at the scene a little, except for an MP18 bullet casing, the rest of the nothing, so I guess the fat man should have nothing to do, imagine that if they really have an accident, it is impossible to shoot a bullet, with the skills of the fat man and the black boy, it is impossible to even have a chance to struggle when encountering danger! What's more, they had guns in hand, but there were no signs of a fight at the scene, so I guess they were fine, just chasing someone, right? Because I found some messy footprints on the ground, and there were more than two kinds of footprints. As she spoke, Lan Xin pointed to us where she had found her footprints, and then she added, "And the gunshots we heard before should have only served as a warning to the other side." ”

Chasing? Who are you chasing? Could it be those mysterious people who ransacked the bandits' gun depots but never showed their faces? Lanxin's reminder reminds me of when I came down just now, in the second layer of the stone tower, I found that the hole was very strange and problematic! So I asked, "Lanxin!" Lao Wang! When you came down just now, did you find that the second hole is different from the one outside the stone tower, the inner hole seems to be relatively new, as if it has just been broken! Did you find anything? ”

Under the light of the three of us, I clearly saw the ghost's brows tightened, and after thinking for a while, I hesitated to say, "Actually, I have a guess, but I don't know if to talk about it?" ”

I said directly, "Lao Wang! When did you become like a fat man, mother-in-law? Say! Sharp. ”

The ghost said, "Actually, I noticed something wrong with the hole you mentioned, so I took a look and found that it had been blown open!" And according to my previous experience in the artillery * soldier * company for two years, the blasting technique and the explosives used in that hole are the same as the ones we saw in the ghost monument of Mount Everest in the previous two years, so I guess it was the work of one person! I think you'll never forget that man! ”

What the?! The person the ghost said was to save his own life, and betrayed Shanzi's old gold, I was so angry that I gritted my teeth and said, "Damn! I don't just remember, it's just hatred, if it's really Lao Jin's grandson, then the fat man will definitely not let him go, we promised Shanzi the opportunity to help him avenge the pickaxe. ”

Lan Xin also looked suspicious or asked, "Zhongyi, how sure are you?" ”

The ghost opened his palm, made a five-to-five gesture, and replied, "Fifty!" Because although everyone has their own habits in blasting techniques, it is not guaranteed that there will be others who are the same as Lao Jin. ”

I said, "Add 20%!" Then he gestured to seven, "Now I think the possibility should be seventy percent!" Think about it! Two years ago, why did Shanzi and Lao Jin go to Mount Everest? Isn't it just to help their owner find the legendary Nuwa Stone! And we also found a lot of information about the Nuwa stone on the wall carvings in the Ba people's sacrificial area, which shows that a certain ancestor of the Ba people was related to this Nuwa stone before, and Shanzi said that the old Jin ancestor was the captain of the touching gold, and the old Jin himself had been robbing the tomb for many years, so he probably knew that the ancient tomb of the Ba people had clues about the Nuwa stone, so he also went down to this tomb, and then met with the fat man, and the fat man and the black boy chased all the way over, so this possibility is seventy percent. ”

Our conversation was all heard by Dachangtong on the side, and he pulled my sleeve and asked, "Master!" So is this Nuwa stone you are talking about old and valuable? Does it really exist? If you take it out, you can use it as a lot of tickets? ”

Professor Ouyang heard what Dachangtong said, and he immediately took it seriously and taught Dachangtong in a didactic tone, "This young man, don't move your crooked thoughts!" If there really is this legendary Nuwa Stone, how can its value be measured by money! It is a priceless treasure, it belongs to the nation, to the country, and even to all mankind, it breaks the understanding of the world of modern mankind, and it has high research value and protection significance, how can you want to take it for yourself? Do you want to be a sinner in history, and you want to leave a stench for 10,000 years? Do you want future generations to scold you? You should be highly aware of the mistakes in your thinking and actively correct them! ”

Professor Ouyang's three-inch incorruptible tongue was like a machine gun when he talked about teaching, and he couldn't stop, so Dachangtong immediately nodded his head, apologized again and again, and hurriedly said that he was not, and he was confused for a while, so that the professor stopped his tirade about the height of life consciousness that even I had a headache when I listened.

Professor Ouyang saw that Dachangtong's attitude of recognizing the mistake was very sincere, so he showed a satisfied look, and then waved his hand to me and said, "Brother Wu Nian, come over here." ”

After I approached, the professor continued, "I just heard you chatting, if you are worried about the fat people, go to them first, Xiao Kai and I are studying the reliefs here first, I feel that these wall carvings have a lot of information about that era, and it seems to have a lot to do with the legendary Nuwa stone, so I want to solve the mystery here, after all, I am engaged in archaeology, and I have a knot!" ”

I was in a hurry to find the fat man, for fear that he would be attacked by the bandits, but now I am basically sure that he is going to chase Lao Jin, so I am a little relieved, but I still can't be completely relieved, and I heard that this wall carving is related to Nuwa Stone, and Nuwa Stone seems to have important clues to the disappearance of Yanyu, so I am a fish and a bear's paw, helpless! I had to let the ghost and Lan Xin go to the fat man and the black boy first, as long as I left marks along the way so that I could easily find them, and I stayed to accompany Ouyang to teach them, so that both sides could be taken into account.

As for Dachangtong's bent desire to order the artifact, he saw that there was nothing valuable in this broken place, so he went with the ghost and Lan Xin with some incomprehensible totems and salt.

After the ghost and Lanxin and Dachangtong left with the messy footprints on the ground, I devoted myself to the work of "archaeological research" with Professor Ouyang, just now I didn't go to see the reliefs here, I don't know what the contents are, now I take a serious look, only to find that the content of these reliefs is weird, each piece of ashlar is all some dense, different sizes of Cuban characters densely put together an oval, oval circle, east and west circles, densely distributed on each piece of ashlar, But there is a connection with the surroundings, you can splic, you can see it for a long time, it feels changeable, and any pattern will appear in front of you, and it seems to surround you, if there are dense phobia people are estimated to go crazy.

Strange words and peculiar totems have exceeded the amount of knowledge in my brain, I have asked myself ancient and modern, large and small, ethnic minorities and Han nationality of various sculptures, carvings, and even reliefs I have seen, all know a little bit or two, I used to study art in college, then I like to soak in the library to fill my professional knowledge, but now these strange and fickle relief totems of the Ba people I really have never seen or heard of.

Professor Ouyang smiled and said, "Hehe! It's hard for Wu Nian, brother, in fact, you don't know that these things are also human nature, even I was confused at the beginning of what these want to express? But after thinking about it seriously, I remembered that I had seen a similar strange totem in a notebook of exploration work left by an old-timer, which old-timer was a good friend of a professor who took me when I used to study archaeology in China, and his notebook recorded that there was a Ba person named "Fan Manchi" among the primitive Ba people, he raised troops to occupy an area, set himself up as a king in the Sichuan and Shu area, regarded himself as a Tianzun, and lived with heaven and earth, he didn't know where he learned witchcraft and witchcraft, and he used a body of evil art to poison people who disobeyed him, and soon he was "poisonous" On the hegemonic side, many people dare not disobey him, Fan Manqi needed to open the altar to descend Gu before he went down to Gu, and carried out it in a stone tower specially built by him, and the most important thing in this Gu link is the totem we see now, and it is written in the notebook that this totem is called "Immortal Teng."

"Legend has it that this Immortal Teng is connected to a mysterious area, where there are all kinds of Gu worms, and those Gu worms are summoned to bring disaster to the world through Fan Man's opening the altar and descending method."

After hearing this, I trembled, and my heart was slammed, thinking, it seems that the legendary Ba people and demon lords are all likely to be buried here, what is the devil army that Uncle Xu and Professor Ouyang are talking about before? Could it be that Gu Xiao can't succeed, but after thinking about it, I feel that it is not very likely, I know a little bit about Gu me, it's not so evil, right?

I have never heard of such an evil and strange method of Gu play, and Uncle Jiu told me before that Gu started from the Miao people, and it was all passed on to women and not to men. With questions, I asked Professor Ouyang to verify the gender of Fan Manchi, but Professor Ouyang said that he didn't know, he had never seen any record of this Fan Manchi, and if it weren't for the totem of "Immortal Teng" that he saw with his own eyes today, he once suspected that the story in the old explorer's notebook was compiled.

Then I asked Professor Ouyang about the words in "Immortal Teng", which are the same as the totem stones we found outside the tower before, and even the patterns made of the words are the same, they are all oval-shaped Nuwa stones, so what is this Nuwa stone used for? What does it have to do with Fan Manqi opening the altar and lowering Gu? Otherwise, why would it be engraved on this Immortal Teng?

It's a pity that Professor Ouyang also looked distressed, he shook his head and sighed, "This is also what I said earlier, there is still something to puzzle, I was wondering what is the connection between this and the wall carvings we saw in the Ba people's sacrificial area before?" In one of the wall carvings, there is a Miao ghost grass woman with a group of Ba people carrying out sacrificial activities, and there is also a Nuwa stone, are they worshipping Nuwa stone? What does it have to do with the ghost grass woman of the Miao people? Professor Ouyang was silent at this point, and after a moment of thought, he continued, "I'm wondering, what is the connection between the Immortal Teng and the wall carvings we saw earlier?" As he spoke, he patted the back of my hand, "Brother Wu Nian!" I see that your logical thinking of reasoning is quite powerful, you can help think about it! ”

Isn't that embarrassing me? Reasoning is about patchwork of clues and clues, but now I have no clue, how can I reason? It's hard to guess, just as I was about to speak, suddenly I heard a series of "sudden ......" gunshots, which were MP18 sounds! Could it be that they and Lao Jin fought each other, and the two sides fought? Or maybe they're in some danger? After hearing the voice, I, Professor Ouyang and Xiao Kai all looked at each other in confusion, and then I said, "Something's wrong, go and take a look." After that, we ran to the source of the gunfire.

The three of us ran along a dilapidated stone path that collapsed everywhere to a space that suddenly opened up, under the three weak flashlight pillars, Professor Ouyang could roughly judge that this should be the palace hall of the stone city, there were pillars made of stones everywhere, but most of the pillars had collapsed, and the stones were scattered all over the ground, and there were layers of stone slabs stacked above our heads, but a huge hole had been broken, and from our position up, it was pitch black, but there was a little breeze pouring in.

The most representative items of the era in the stone hall are the few bronzes in the hall of the temple, but in this case we do not have time to seriously examine these bronzes that have been covered with copper spots.

As soon as we got here, we didn't have time to take a closer look, and I felt that a slightly hot, hard caliber-like object was suddenly pushed up to my back, and then a voice with a Sichuan accent sounded behind me, "Wu Nian!" Long time no see, don't come unharmed! ”

The voice was the voice of Lao Jin, who gritted my teeth with hatred, and then Lao Jin said, "Don't move, otherwise Lao Tzu will give you a shuttle!" As he spoke, he shouted into the distance, "Fatty! And the dog baby who was a soldier, all come out to Lao Tzu, your good buddy Wu Nian is in my hands! If you want him alive, come out and talk. ”

As soon as Lao Jin's words fell, behind some large square stones not far ahead, the fat man, the ghost, and Lan Xin, as well as the black boy and Dachangtong, as soon as the fat man appeared, he scolded, "Damn!" Lao Jin, you grandson, let you Wu Ye go, otherwise I will kill you, fat master! ”

When the ghost first appeared, Lao Jin had already completely hidden his body behind my body, and said to the accomplices who kidnapped Professor Ouyang and Xiao Kai, "If you want to live, learn from me, don't you see that tall and inch-haired soldier!" His marksman is on track, and if you show a flaw, you're going to give him a chance to destroy you. ”

There were three people with him, and in addition to our kidnappers, the other one was aiming his gun at the ghost.

After shouting, the fat man was annoyed when he saw that Lao Jin didn't answer, and raised his voice and shouted again, "Hey! Grandson Jin, did you hear your fat man's orders? Don't let people go yet. ”

"Dead fatty! Your ancestors are stilted, shut up Lao Tzu, damn it! It's been two years, why is your mouth still as stinky as a pit. Lao Jin scolded back, and then said, "I tell you, now the bargaining chips are in Lao Tzu, and you all have to listen to Lao Tzu, and all throw your guns over." After speaking, he did not forget to emphasize the sentence "Move lightly, throw it slowly, come one by one, don't want to play tricks." ”
