Chapter Fifty-Three: The Bronze Ancient Bell
Where are the burial mounds!
Because of the pungent smell, we couldn't get too close at all, so we had to circle around half a circle from a distance, and when we walked to a slightly higher little mound, Sun Yi pointed to the black water and shouted, "Look, that ...... Is that a person? ”
Looking for prestige, I saw hundreds of corpses floating in the black water, some on their backs, some lying on their backs, all floating according to certain rules.
Where did you get so many corpses here? Could it be a martyr in an ancient tomb? On second thought, it's impossible! This ancient tomb is at least 3,000 years old, and even if there are people who are buried, they should have become dry bones.
But all the clothes soaked in the black water are "fresh corpses", and then I look carefully at the clothes on their bodies, I am trembling, these are all modern people's clothes, and they are the kind of styles often worn by local people.
Could it be that these are the neighbors of Kofun Village?
I turned around and asked Lao Huang, "Where are the neighbors we saw before?" ”
"We didn't pay much attention to it, it looked like it was coming in the direction of the ancient burial mound."
After a few more glances, several people were unwell, and Lao Huang hurriedly took out a small purple porcelain bottle in his bag, poured a pill for each person, and then urged him to leave quickly.
As soon as I walked a few hundred meters back, I suddenly heard a thunderclap from the sky, and the originally clear sky became cloudy, and in less than a minute, raindrops the size of soybeans fell and drenched me so much that I couldn't open my eyes at all.
"Hurry up...... Hurry up and get out, I'm afraid there will be a mudslide! Lao Huang exclaimed loudly.
Several people didn't care about getting wet from the heavy rain, and hurriedly rushed to the other side.
The group stumbled up the small mountain on the other side, and before they could take a few breaths, they heard a boom, and a black waterfall gushed out of the pit just now, and a huge black water rushed out, and in less than a few minutes it rushed to the bottom of the small mountain where we were.
In the distance, I saw something wriggling in the gray water, and when I looked closely, it turned out to be a black fish.
It is said to be a black fish, but in fact it is a fish species that I have never seen before, it is shaped and colored like a black fish, but it is very large, and it is a meter long.
Professor Sun pointed to the fish under the small peak and yelled, "Unexpectedly...... It turned out to be a black snake eel! There is ...... in the world There really is such a fish! ”
I asked, "What is a black snake eel?" ”
"Have you heard of the ancient god Fuxi?"
Fuxi? I nodded, Fu Xi is a very awesome character in Chinese mythology! As a college student, I've certainly heard about it. It is said that he was originally a brother and sister with Nuwa, the originator of mankind, and later became a husband and wife, making countless inventions in their lives, and the two are known as the ancestors of mankind together.
Professor Sun continued, "It is said that this thing is what Fu Xi kept at home to ward off evil spirits. ”
"Can this fish ward off evil spirits?"
"First of all, I'll have to correct you - to be precise, this is not a fish, but a beast, which is said to live for three or four years even without water. In the era when Fuxi lived, there was a mixture of gods and demons, and the reason why he raised this thing was to ward off evil spirits and exorcise demons......"
The rain came and went fast, and as we spoke, the sun appeared in the sky.
Looking around, there was gray water everywhere, and the small mountain peak we were on had become an island in the sea, Lao Huang patted the dust on his body, and helped Mingyue Shitai to sit on the ground.
"Sit down, all of you! It seems that in less than seven or eight hours, this flash flood will not be able to retreat, so you should give yourself a vacation! ”
Professor Sun smiled bitterly, beckoned a few of his subordinates, and sat around.
I don't know if I'm thinking too much, looking at the expressions on the faces of Lao Huang and Master Mingyue at this time, they turned out to be very relaxed, as if they had successfully completed something.
"Old Sun! You didn't bring any food, we didn't eat for a day and a night. Lao Huang asked with a smile.
"Yes...... Yes...... It's quiet! Take a few packets of compressed biscuits and beef jerky – and two more bottles of water. ”
As soon as I heard that there was food, I was also hungry, so I reached out and took it, tore open the package and chewed it, and after two bites, I thought of Wang Qianmo, who had been snuggling up to my side.
Wang Qianmo didn't say anything along the way, he held my arm almost the whole time, and his face was expressionless.
I knew that she was scared enough at first, and then worried about Uncle Wang.
"Momo, you...... Would you like to eat some? I asked softly.
After asking three times in a row, Wang Qianmo came back to his senses: "Ao, I'm not hungry, you can eat!" ”
When there was nothing to do, a few old people chatted.
The other old man with Professor Sun is an archaeology student, surnamed Liu, who is also a professor. Professor Liu is soft and weak, and his glasses are as thick as the bottom of a wine bottle, and he looks like an old pedant.
After everyone had started talking, Professor Liu spoke.
Lao Huang asked, "What ancient civilization relics have you found in this Yinshan Valley?" This is not a land that ordinary people should come from......"
Professor Liu straightened his glasses, looked at Professor Sun, and only after getting permission did he speak.
"A year or two ago, by chance, we found a bell from ancient times, which came from this mountain forest within a radius of 100 miles."
"Bells? Could it be that there is something special about this bell? ”
Professor Liu nodded: "In the archaeological community, this can be regarded as an artifact, just to prove the existence of a piece of history, I predict that this history will be about five hundred years, which is the transition period from the era of mythology to the age of mortals." ”
I was a little anxious, and I thought to myself, are the old professors so slimy! Labor and management, I want to know what this bell is......
Professor Sun frowned when he saw me, smiled, and continued, "Comrade Xiaoxiao is an anxious child!" I'll tell you......"
Professor Sun said that this is actually a bronze bell the size of a bull's eye, which is very delicately cast, and has fine dark patterns on it, and the casting time is more than 4,000 years.
The magic of this bronze bell is that it can make strange noises, hallucinate people, and it can also control beasts.
The discovery of this bronze bell is equally incredible.
This story has to start from the big mountain village on the other side of the canyon.
Two years ago, a wild boar inexplicably appeared in the mountains and forests near Dashan Village. The boar was about the size of a calf, half a meter long with its fangs stretched out, and its fur was brown.
Wild boars often come to the village to harm people and animals, causing panic in people's hearts.
The village chief summoned several middle-aged men in the village who knew how to hunt to discuss, rather than being persecuted passively, it was better to take the initiative and get rid of the wild boar.
The capture of the wild boar will not be repeated, after injuring the lives of the two, it took half a month, and finally trapped the big wild boar that was scolded by the villagers as "Pig Gangguana" with a trap.
When disemboweling a wild boar, someone found a bronze ball in its stomach, and when it was cleaned, it was a bell. I don't know what special method was used to cast this bell, but there is not the slightest sign of rust.
