Chapter 53: Stone Statues (Asking for Support)

Normally, under normal circumstances, I am the one who chats with the three fat men and brags nonsense, but now I am a little interested, always thinking about what has happened recently and the whereabouts of my second uncle. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info the three fat men Xu saw my absent-mindedness, so he went to find the guide Uncle Dafa to have boring time along the way.

I thought that he would touch his face and his nose was gray, but who knew that the two of them actually chatted, the third fat man was not an elegant person, and he always said something inconsequential. Uncle Guide has been very honest in a small mountain village since he was a child, and he was always confused by what the three fat men said, and we also heard a different kind of fun behind us.

But when I heard the three fat men say that the place we were going to was Chishi Dam, the guide uncle made a voice of disapproval: "A few little brothers, that place is not to go, there are bad things, if you don't do it well, people will die, a few days ago someone in our dam inadvertently entered, and it has not come out yet, we are afraid and dare not look for him, everyone said that he was eaten by monsters." ”

"There is no place you can't go, I said guide brother, don't be superstitious, this is all a scientific society, why do you always say some monsters eat people's jokes, shame on people." The three fat men directly buttoned the hat of sorting superstitions to the guides.

At this time, the guide uncle was really anxious, and he didn't continue to walk forward no matter what, and his tone was full of horror, as if he had seen something terrible in Chishibazi.

"I really can't go, there are monsters in that place, and they will scream, and if you go, you will die."

Listening to this tone, there is really something terrifying in the Red Food Dam.

I said comfortingly: "Uncle guide, don't worry, this big fat man is used to talking nonsense on weekdays, and he doesn't look serious." We don't necessarily go to that place, but we just hear people say that they are a little curious and want to go and see it. You said that this happened to be a coincidence, a few days ago we had a brother who also happened to go to Chishibazi, and he was missing and couldn't be contacted, so let's think about finding him. Saying that, he quietly pointed at Wu Ming and said: "Have you seen this little brother, he is not afraid of any demons and monsters, and he also knows some spells, you also know how to deal with zombies and ghosts, don't worry, there will be no danger." ”

Uncle Guide grew up in a mountain village since he was a child, and he believed in things like the number of scholars. Nowadays, there are many high-ranking people in the countryside, especially in the northeast, no matter whether their so-called spells are true or not, after all, the name is there, and there are naturally many people who believe in it.

And I also told Uncle Guide, we will also help him find his missing friend, from the current scientific point of view, there are only two outcomes of disappearance, either lost or dead. The ancestors once said: "Don't say anything that you can't find and disappear, I want to see people alive and see corpses when I die." ”

This comfort, the guide uncle really relaxed his vigilance: "That place really can't be visited, where will the roar of monsters come from in the middle of the night, really, the people in our village have heard it, it really comes into the ears, not to mention how scared it is." By the way, we also saw ghost fires in Chishibazi, blue and yin floating on the ground, everyone said that it was a little ghost playing with people. ”

Actually, I especially wanted to explain to him the origin and generation of this ghost fire, but I was sure that Uncle Guide would not believe it, and it would be self-defeating. And how to look at the roar of the monster is because of the terrain, the red food dam is just a name, not a superficial statement, in fact, this place is more inclined to the river valley area, strange rocks, steep land, even the houses are built on the slope of the mountain, all kinds of wind directions hit the mountain peaks and trees head-on, it will form a strange wind, people dozens of miles away to hear the natural sound of monsters.

I had no choice but to follow his thoughts and say, "So be it, we'll give you double the price, you just need to take us to the edge of the Red Food Dam and show us the way." We're just going to see if we can't make any big moves, and if that thing isn't that hard to deal with, maybe we can save your friend. ”

Often such a guide uncle is not shocking and endless, and his next sentence made me suddenly feel that the sky was thundering.

"Little brother, you don't want to sweep the warehouse, do you?"

I think so......

Seeing that we all looked at him in amazement, he explained again: "Well, I'm just saying, our place is mountainous and densely forested, and I heard from my predecessors that this is the kind of place where the ancients often liked to build some tombs as a place to live after death. A few days ago, I took a few people who also said that they were going to this red food dam, and they looked fierce and vicious, and I looked very trembling, so I took them to another place. Suddenly, as if he thought of something, he patted his head and said with a smile: "But don't believe me, this time I won't take you to another place, I promise to take you to Chishibazi, you also said that you will help me find my friend, you are good people." ”

But good people can also play conspiracy, and the leader is Wu Ming: "No, we are not going to rob the tomb." ”

followed by the three fat men: "How can it be, we are pure tourists, at most, even if we are out looking for friends, not to rob tombs." You see that you old man suddenly came to such a sentence, but it scared me, how can you say, there are a lot of outsiders in your place? ”

"No more, no more, that is, once every six months or so, all of them are old men in their forties and fifties, but they all come blatantly, and we all know that their purpose is to find the big tomb in the mountains. They also have special guards with guns, which are very bluffing, and you must go farther away when you see them, otherwise they will arrest you and put you in a black house. ”

Those who dare to love are archaeological, the most humorous tomb robbing vernacular, the vernacular that doesn't need to be explained too much, can be said by a tomb robber.

This also shows that we have not come to the wrong place, and there is really a big tomb in Chishibazi.

The third fat man flickered and said: "No, no, we will definitely take a detour when we see it, how can we collide with the above, not to mention that we can't eat and have to walk around, I think only He Beichen will ......meet such an unlucky thing."

I really don't want the guide uncle to ask, "Who is He Beichen?" "This kind of question came, but it turned out that this honest person really asked, I'm going to collapse, okay.

After arriving at the destination, the guide uncle pointed us out the direction and went back by himself, and before leaving, he told us not to say something disrespectful to ghosts, to say that if we encounter danger, we should return the same way as soon as possible, and not to lose our lives in order to save people. Now I want to come to the guide, and the uncle is familiar with us as his "sons" who have never met him for many years, and as juniors, we naturally behave "obediently".

Although the forests are dense, most of them are big trees that have grown for decades or even hundreds of years, and the branches of the trees dozens of meters high rise to the sky, reaching into the sky. The natural branches and foliage are densely intertwined, and there is no sunlight to be seen, but the roots of the forest appear to be relatively wide, but the ground is damp and there are more mosquitoes.

The most hateful thing is that there is a kind of leech called "vampire", which will burrow into the tissues under the skin of people and thus suck human blood.

Of course, this thing is not the same as the kind of insect that can eat people in an instant that we encountered in the tomb of Song Sleeve, and the vampire we encounter now has a small attack and does not cause much damage to the human body, but it is attached to your skin and wriggles, and it will feel itchy.

This time, I had an eye before I set off, and looked through the "experience" left by many grandfathers who robbed tombs, which said that this kind of thing that grew up in a dark supermarket environment all year round is not suitable for burning with a pungent smell, and it happened that on the way I saw Artemisia annua, so I got a few at random, which came in handy.

We tied the bitter wormwood to a torch and lit it, and all that came out was a pungent smell, and when we swept it on the ground, the vampires moved away from us. Now that the difficulties have been solved, our path forward will be smoother and our pace will be much faster.

Walking and walking, I was about to propose whether I wanted to take a break first, and there was no one anyway, so we didn't need to grab these few minutes. I heard the three fat men say: "Look at it, what is that, how can there be a few people watching us, didn't the guide uncle say that only a few of us have been to this place recently?" So what's going on with these people? ”

When I looked up, there were four or five people standing about a hundred meters away from us, still holding large weapons in their hands, and it was a little far away that I couldn't see what they were holding in their hands, but I guessed that it was something like a machete, how could ordinary weapons be so far away and still feel the power.

Wu Ming looked at it in silence for a while before he said, "That's a stone statue, not a real person." ”

Since I'm not human, I have nothing to fear, and I still reacted to prepare for battle. But this place is not in the village, how can there be stone statues? Or is it something ancient, a building like a fence on a site, and I wondered, "How can there be an ancient stone statue in this place?" ”

"That place should be the final destination of our trip." Wu Ming said.

Approaching the final destination, it also means that danger is coming, and we all consciously clench the dagger at our side and adjust our breathing forward.

The distance of 100 meters is not long or short, especially in such a tense atmosphere, the three fat men are even worse, and they are all sweating.

But the surrounding birds are still singing and flowers, and the stream is murmuring, which is a vibrant scene.

The more normal the environment, the more dangerous it begins, and we also know that calm is the calm before the storm, and it seems that something big is about to happen.

When we got closer, the tall people we saw were really stone statues as Wu Ming said, arranged in a circle, and I guessed that they should end up in the shape of a circle, because I walked twenty or thirty meters in a row, and every time I thought there was none, it would reappear at the place where it turned.

Each humanoid stone statue is more than two meters high, and the carving technique is not very fine, but it can be seen roughly as a human face, which is probably related to the perennial rain erosion, although there is no sunlight in the dense forest all year round, but when it rains, the rain will flow down the branches and leaves, which will cause corrosion to the stone material.

"What does this mean, is it a form of threat?" The three fat men asked.

Wu Ming always looked at the dense forest and replied: "It should be, this may also be a warning, let us not be curious, don't move forward." ”

"It's not me saying, little brother, why are you the same as the guide uncle just now. What are you afraid of, the tomb of Song Sleeve is so dangerous, it's not that we have broken through, this time it is also the four of us, except for the big pillar that is a little weaker, the rest of us can be regarded as the leader of the sweeping world, see the gods and kill the ghosts. ”

Wu Ming smiled and said to me, "He Beichen, do you still have to think clearly?" Now that I'm in, I won't be able to get out for the rest of my life. ”

It was really too difficult to decide what to do, and I was especially afraid of choosing one of the two, so I chose the most effortless action and winked at Wu Ming.

As if he had completed some ritual, Wu Ming turned around and bowed to the road where we came, and then stepped into the stone statue group: "Then let's go, now it's time to really pursue the secret." ”

In fact, Wu Ming is also right when he says this, the search for the secret itself has no fundamental connection with Song Sleeve's tomb, although Song Sleeve is the key person on the way to get the clue, but according to the current form, such a clue is not only the only one.

During the period after the death of the third uncle, I thought a lot, if it is really as the second uncle said, the secret we are looking for is shocking, if there are really so many people pursuing, why did Ou Zhizi bury him underneath.

This should be a secret message he gave to future generations, if he really didn't want to reveal the secret to the public, why didn't he choose to bring the secret directly into the ground at first glance, why put him in his own sword, according to what Song Sleeve said on the mural, why did Ou Zhizi ask him to dream and let him bury the remaining two ancient swords in the ground.

Does this also mean that from the beginning, Ojiko's intention was to leave the secret to others, but for some reason this secret could not be told directly from his mouth.

So what do these reasons refer to?

Assuming that all of my thoughts are wrong, what are they looking for this secret for the large-scale tomb robbery fifty years ago, my second and third uncles, Wu Ming and the little brother in black, the bad old man, the Japanese Chamber of Commerce, and some people or organizations that I don't know about yet?

Or do these people want to live forever and don't want to get out of this world of deceit, but didn't my third uncle also lose his life because of protecting me?

The final question that haunts us is what we've been looking for along the way, and what is the ultimate secret?
