Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Monument in the Forest
We cautiously leaned over and let out a sigh of relief when we saw that it was indeed a stone statue. I saw that the statue was stone gray, the whole stone statue was relatively complete, the head was still there, wearing an official hat, wearing a robe, and a square head and broad ears. Holding a square stone slab in his hand. Thinking that it was very old, the stone statue was full of mottled traces washed by the rain, and the face was blurred, only the texture of the robe on the body was still visible.
Shui Qingyan stepped forward and stroked the stone statue, and only nodded with satisfaction after a while, and said with a smile: "It seems that our speculation is good, that Wang Xuance really has the heart of the emperor, you look at this statue, it is obviously the appearance of an official in the Tang Dynasty, placed on top of the Shinto, which means that a hundred officials go to court." If this kind of thing was discovered by the emperor at that time, he would definitely be beheaded, and it was difficult for him to choose such a hidden place. ”
When I heard this, my heart moved, I looked down at the dirt on the ground, and said, "You say this is Shinto?" Wouldn't you be able to touch the tomb by following the Shinto? ”
Shui Qingyan nodded, and said: "Theoretically, that's right, from the statue just now, it is already a hundred meters away, and if you can cultivate the Shinto so far, the tomb must be buried in the same way." If Lao Que and Yama go east, they should also see the Shinto, and if they follow the Shinto, maybe we will be able to converge.
We listened to Shui Qingyan's proposal and agreed without thinking. I looked up at the sky, the sun had begun to set, and night would fall in a short time, and at night the four of us were like duckweed in the vast mountains, and if we ran into something, we would definitely not be able to cope with it.
Thinking about it, I thought of that elusive dream, and my spine tingled, and I felt that it was definitely still watching us from some dark place, believing that if there was a suitable opportunity, it would immediately attack.
Without a hand, he is the best among the red thieves, and Yama is a rare ghost, and when he joins them, the threat will be greatly reduced.
Although most of the age of Shinto has been covered by mud, the entire Shinto was originally built with neat white striped stones, and the bottom should have been coated with secret herbs for weeding, and no vegetation has grown for so many years, so it is still quite recognizable. Finally finding the right way, we were greatly encouraged and plucked up to follow the instructions of the water blue eyes and ran east along the Shinto.
After a while, I saw that the trees around me were more dense, and a lot of vegetation had grown in the stone path we were moving on, so that I ran crookedly many times, and seeing that the sky was getting darker and darker, my mood became more and more impatient, and suddenly I saw a white behemoth in front of me from a distance, and said, "What is that?!" ”
Everyone was startled by my sudden roar, and said with blue eyes: "What? ”
I pointed to the front and said, "What's the white one?" ”
Shui Qing saw that I was serious, stretched his neck and looked at it for a while, and said, "What white thing?" ”
I was stunned, and from where I was standing, there was a white thing standing in front of me, but it was getting late, and I could only see a vague outline. But they, including the sharp-witted Lin Fanyin, all looked at me blankly, ignoring the white behemoth.
Am I hallucinating?
I quickly rubbed my eyes and looked into the distance, yes, right in the middle of Shinto, there was a white behemoth.
Shui Qingyan was silent for a while, and said, "Little brother Lu An, did you see something?" ”
I nodded and said, "Yes, it's so tall and white, it's in the distance...... Can't you see? ”
The three of them looked at each other, and then Dajin patted me on the shoulder and said, "Boy, are you mistaken?" ”
I frowned and looked at it for a while, making sure that the thing in front of me was the real thing, and said, "It's real, why don't I take you to see it?" ”
Shui Qingyan actually nodded: "Take us there." ”
Shui Qingyan is highly respected, and as soon as he speaks, Dajin and Lin Fanyin have no opinion. It's just that Daikin kept saying to me: "If you see anything wrong, retreat quickly...... kid"
I nodded, and led them along the Shinto path towards the white behemoth, and after walking for a while, I only heard Lin Fanyin exclaim: "I saw it too!" ”
Dajin fans glared: "Hey, it's really ......"
I was looking at the huge thing, but I was surprised to see the face of the thing, it was actually a white boulder more than ten meters high.
Shui Qing looked at the white giant, turned his head to look at me with strange eyes, and said, "How did you see it so far away?" ”
I froze, then looked at the three of them and shook my head blankly.
Shui Qing looked at me with a strange gaze, and said, "What a powerful eyesight, I haven't noticed it for so long...... That's right, haha, that's right. ”
I even said with blue eyes: "What's right?" ”
Shui Qingyan coughed and said with a smile: "Is it gold that always shines...... I think you are a farsighted eye at night, and your eyesight is several times better than us at night, and it is of great use when you go to the tomb...... How old are you this year? ”
I was stunned for a moment, but I still said honestly: "Twenty-three." ”
Shui Qingyan said: "Twenty-three, twenty-three, it's not too late......"
Before I could ask what it meant, Shui Qingyan said, "Okay, don't say much, our team is really full of talents." By the way, do you see what it is? ”
I nodded and said, "It's a big white ashlar." ”
"Fangshi?" Shui Qing's eyes were stunned, and he said happily: "The place we are looking for has arrived, let's go!" So saying, he ran forward.
We hurried to follow, and when we got closer, we saw the appearance of the boulder. It was a long white boulder that stood straight on the ground. The whole boulder looks old, and the surface is mottled by wind and rain, but it is still strong, at least there are no cracks on the surface.
We stood under the boulder more than ten meters high, and suddenly felt a sense of insignificance.
Shui Qingyan ran forward and circled around the boulder, and said, "That's right, that's right." This should be the tomb gate. Further inside, it should be the center of the entire basin, that is, the land of the four-phase arch guard and the ten realms of the heart of heaven. As he spoke, he pulled out a whirlwind shovel to clear the dirt under the boulder, and I watched his arm flip and the dirt flew up and down, but I saw Shui Qingyan digging out an edge and corner under the boulder.
Seeing the edges and corners, he put down the whirlwind shovel, wiped his sweat and said: "That's right, you see, this is the domination of the camel monument, this is also one of the nine sons of the dragon, I think his prototype should be the dragon turtle in the ancient flood period, probably similar to the current snapping turtle, but the size is much larger." The general stele is not qualified to be under the hegemony, the Tang Dynasty was strong, and it was customary to open the mountain as a mausoleum. This monument should be the result of the opening of the mountain and the construction of the mausoleum near here, and if you touch it, you can feel the gate, I think if they are not wrong, this monument is so conspicuous, they will find it here in a while. One of the ancient monuments has its own divine power, and the evil demons are not close. Let's set up camp here, but we can't do it, and when it gets dark, we will send a flare and wait for them to arrive.
We nodded yes, it was getting late now, and we were tired from running for a day, and even if everyone had converged, it was obviously not realistic to enter the tomb immediately. Camp on the spot to rest, wait for the convergence to recover, tomorrow is the best choice, after discussion, we immediately set up two simple tents, each tent hung a wind lantern.
At the same time that Shui Qingyan and I set up a tent, Shui Qingyan also instructed Dajin and Lin Fanyin to find some dead branches nearby to light a fire, and he had special incense that could be put into the bonfire to repel insects and snakes.
I want to come here and it's quite far away from the river, those turtles won't chase here, the biggest threat in the forest is nothing more than to take the monster 'Mengzhen', if the color is still not too dark today, with Lin Fanyin, the two of them pick up some firewood and come back, I don't think there will be any danger.
But not long after they got into the woods, Dajin hurriedly ran back, breathless and said, "It's over, there are several grass sheds in the woods......
