Chapter 1097: Stone Totem
I thought about it, and she was right, after all, it involved Dawu, and it was time for everyone to know that it would be best if they could bring this thing back.
However, judging from Zhao Qingya's reaction just now, the surface of this black stone should be coated with a hallucinogenic substance, and it is best not to get started directly.
Zhao Qingya also reminded on the side that the exposed stones were probably not all, and there should be some of the land below.
I told her to stand aside, and then slowly pushed the loess around the stone outwards with the tip of my sword, and after a while I realized that the job was much more difficult than I had imagined.
I didn't feel any difficulty when I peeled off the surface layer of floating soil before, because there was nothing to scruple about at that time, but now that this black stone has been dug up, it is very difficult to cut out the lower half without destroying its knots.
Zhao Qingya hurriedly pulled me down, "Stop, if you go down like this, the soil next to it has not been dug up, and this stone will be cut off." ”
I also felt that I couldn't continue, this kind of archaeological excavation work naturally had more professional people to do, and the two discussed it for a while, and then decided to go back and ask Director Qin for help.
When he returned to the camp, Zhao Qingya went to report the situation, and it only took about ten minutes for Director Qin to set off with Team Leader Xie and the backbone of the scientific expedition team.
Everyone quickly rushed to the direction where the black stone was, and Director Qin only made a cursory observation of the periphery, first asked people to set up a few sets of lighting stands around, and then arranged for several experienced scientific expedition team members to take out professional tools such as tape measures and brushes to start the formal excavation work.
Hua Yao stayed inside because he wanted personal protection, and Sunshine and I were invited out because we were in the way.
"Senior brother is lucky, I found the traces of the great witch after a casual stroll, and it was really blessed by the Buddha." Sunshine said with a smile, but his eyes were on Zhao Qingya, who was squatting not far away, holding a brush with a serious face.
I knew that he was teasing me and this Director Zhao for not sleeping in the middle of the night and running out for a walk, so I explained her situation.
When Sunshine heard this, she also put away her joking heart, and said, "You mean that she began to be affected by that demon pill?" ”
I looked in Zhao Qingya's direction and smiled bitterly, "I'm afraid it's a bit light to use the word influence, according to my observation, that demon pill has obviously changed her physique, and I don't know if she will be demonized if it goes on like this." ”
Sunshine was silent for a while after hearing this, and then took out the string of prayer beads from his arms, with a trace of regret in his eyes, "It's a pity that this bead can only protect her for one day, otherwise the cat demon will not succeed!" ”
Although I haven't had much contact with the sunshine, I can also see that he has a jealous and hateful heart, and he has done it directly when he has encountered demons a few times, and now he is being coerced by the cat demon by means, and his heart must be extremely unhappy.
I stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, "Brother Guang, I understand your feelings, but after all, it is because of this cat demon that Director Zhao can live, and besides, we have to rely on it to find the ancient city of the Yue Clan, such as this clue found tonight." ”
The monk snorted, "Senior Brother Yu, don't worry, I just felt it, but do you really think that black stone is a means of the Great Witch?" ”
I thought about it for a while, and found that except for Zhao Qingya's narrative, I didn't actually have any special feelings about that black stone.
Sunshine smiled and waved his hand, "Let's stop guessing, it's over there, just go over and take a look." ”
When I looked up, the members of the scientific expedition team had already retreated to the side, revealing a pit with a diameter of two meters, and Director Qin and Zhao Qingya were squatting on the edge of the pit to observe carefully.
Sunshine and I stepped forward, and the nearest members of the team stepped aside, just in time to see an oval stone pillar in the middle of the pit, and scattered around the carcasses of animals, rats, snakes, and even a few wolves.
When Director Qin saw us coming, he stood up with his legs pressed, and Hua Yao on the side hurriedly stepped forward to support him.
He waved his hand, "It doesn't matter, I can do it myself, alas, I'm old, I just feel tired after squatting for a while, since the two consultants are here, it's just right, Xiaoya will introduce it." ”
Zhao Qingya nodded, "Okay, old director, it's like this, the main body of this stone pillar is a special siliceous rock, and there are many spherical pores on its surface, which should be the product of volcanic ash deposits......"
I interjected, "Director, can you get to the point, this is the composition of the stone pillar, it doesn't seem to be very important." ”
Zhao Qingya glared at me before continuing, "Okay, according to our guess, this stone pillar is likely to be the totem of some ancient tribe, and the animal corpses next to it are all used for sacrifice, combined with the illusion just now, that is to say, we are likely to be close to the ancient city of the Yue Clan." ”
Speaking of this, her expression became a little excited, but I felt that something was wrong and remained silent.
Director Qin saw that I had doubts, so he asked, "Oh? It seems that Xiaoyu has a different point of view, just right, we are engaged in scientific research, but it is not a word, let's refer to it. ”
I smiled and tried my best to put on a modest demeanor, "I'm not doubting your professionalism, but I just have some doubts in my heart, since Director Qin let me say it, I'll talk about it." ”
"Everyone still has an impression of the stone tablets pulled out of the military station, according to the cat demon, those are the boundary monuments of the Demon Kingdom, that is to say, if you get close to the ancient city of the Yue Clan, it should be that kind of stone tablet buried in the soil."
Everyone nodded their heads after hearing this.
I continued, "The oval-shaped stone pillar in the pit is something else entirely, and in my judgment, this thing is probably not as simple as a totem, and may have something to do with the witch's magic, although I have not sensed a trace of witchcraft from it until now. ”
Sunshine also chimed in, "I agree with Senior Brother Yu's opinion. He pointed to a rat corpse in the pit, "You see, this mouse has almost a skin left, the hair on it has all fallen off, and the organs in the body have disappeared without a trace. ”
Zhao Qingya's expression immediately became serious, "Master, what do you mean by that cat demon...... Am I going to suck someone else? ”
Sunshine raised his hand, "Director Zhao, don't get me wrong, this kind of method of being angry and sucked dry is a hundred times more vicious than that cat demon, I put my words here, if you continue to dig to the side, there will definitely be more animal carcasses exposed." ”
Team Leader Xie immediately led people to dig to the side with shovels, and sure enough, after a while, they dug up the carcasses of many animals, and this time there were already large creatures such as horses, donkeys, and cows.
