Chapter Ninety-One: The Living Monument
I really don't want to stay on this mountaintop, there is only one tail left in early summer, and the height of summer is coming.
But this damn place, the wind is still blowing so cool at night that it makes people cold to the bone.
But I had to stay in such a place, and the thought in my head that I wanted to stay with Brother Masakawa was so strong that it lingered.
Could it be that I can do anything if I stay, such as me to protect Brother Zhengchuan?
It's ridiculous to think about it, I'm far from being qualified right now, and I should have snickered if I didn't become a drag, but I still chose to follow my thoughts.
So, despite the extreme reluctance in my heart, I still followed in the footsteps of Brother Masakawa.
When I arrived at this flat land, the night breeze seemed to be cooler, Brother Zhengchuan walked very fast, just less than half a minute to stand in front of the stone tablet, I didn't dare to stay alone, and I could only keep up with his footsteps, the stone slab under my feet was potholed, and it was a little uneven, but fortunately, I also kept up.
In front of the stone stele, Brother Zhengchuan was very silent, I turned my head and saw the wind blowing his hair that grew to the neck socket, and his side face in the moonlight, frowning slightly, looked a little melancholy.
I guess the reason for the depression is because of that stone tablet, right? It's so simple to be polished into a square shape, without any pattern carving, and without any text, just like a big bluestone that has been erected, such a stone tablet has no clues, which makes Brother Zhengchuan, who wants to solve the puzzle, depressed, so it looks a little melancholy, right?
I was thinking wildly, but Brother Zhengchuan's hand was already on the stele, as if there was some treasure hidden in this stele, and he groped up and down.
After a while, he turned to me and said, "Third brother, this stele is a little strange, the lower part is cold, and the upper part"
What can you find out about it? My eyes widened and I asked, "How's the first half?" β
"The top half is like a normal stone, you know? In summer, the stone absorbs heat during the day, and after it cools down at night, it will become cooler, but there will be a slight residual heat, which is the state that ordinary stones will have, and this is the state of this first half! As he spoke, Brother Zhengchuan frowned again, put one hand on the stone tablet, and groaned, as if he was thinking about something?
"Brother Zhengchuan, why did you observe so carefully?" I wanted to touch the stele too, but there was a thought in my heart that seemed to stop me? I could only find a topic and divert my attention.
"These are just common sense, right? As for why I thought to touch this stele just because I felt I should touch it? This should feel right, I look like I'm about to catch some clues? Brother Zhengchuan's brows furrowed more and more tightly.
And I have countless ellipses in my heart, and I have always had a thought in my heart that prevents me from touching this stone, but Brother Zhengchuan feels that he should touch it? What kind of contradictory opposition is this?
But I firmly believe that I should be wrong, Brother Zhengchuan is right, because doesn't Master also praise Brother Zhengchuan's excellent spiritual sense?
Thinking like this, under my curiosity, I also mustered up enough courage, and put my hand on the upper part of the stele with a little trembling, and there was a slightly warm feeling in my palm, which was reassuring.
It seems that because of this warmth, the stone tablet itself seems less stiff and softer?
This touch gives me peace of mind? I couldn't help but laugh at myself and think, isn't that what happened? I was still suspicious before, maybe I became a little timid because I thought about what happened when I was a child, right?
I found a reason for myself, and the movements in my hands began to be presumptuous, and I began to grope up and down for this stone tablet.
Brother Zhengchuan ignored me, just stared into the distance, and didn't know what he was thinking?
Soon, my hand touched the lower part of the stele that Brother Zhengchuan said, and the coldness of the tentacles made my whole body tremble! It's colder than anything on the mountain, that's my first thought, and the second thought is that the dividing line wasn't like that!
I always thought that the so-called upper part and the lower half should be evenly distributed, but in fact, the warm upper part only accounted for less than a quarter of the stele! More than three-quarters of the remaining positions were so cold that it was like touching a piece of ice.
This kind of coolness makes me want to take my hand away but I don't want to at this time, I clearly feel that the stele seems to shake slightly?
Is it my delusion? After all, Brother Zhengchuan didn't feel anything, why did I feel it? I subconsciously felt that I should take my hand away as if nothing happened, not showing a trace of timidity, and then tell Brother SΓΉ Zhengchuan about this in an indifferent tone, and let him feel it too.
However, at this time, my hand continued to touch downwards as if it did not obey my command.
The further down I went, the more pronounced the vibration became, and when my hand came to the lower part of the stele, I felt some kind of strong vibration, 'dong', 'dong', this vibration seemed to make a sound, echoing in my eardrum.
The sound was both familiar and unfamiliar, and I couldn't imagine for a moment what it was. But I became nervous, because of this nervousness, my heart beat extremely fast, pounding and beating, as if it was about to pop out of my throat.
The thoughts in my head were all at once jumbled, but in the midst of this confusion, I suddenly thought of what was this familiar feeling? Isn't that how often the heart beats? Isn't that what the heartbeat sounds like?
My face turned pale all at once! A stone monument with a heartbeat? When I was a child, imaginary monsters rushed into my mind like uncontrollable!
It took me a great deal of strength to restrain myself from shouting out loud, but I couldn't help but let out a low cry, my hand left this weird stone tablet at once, and the whole person was uncontrollable, and I took several steps back before sitting on the ground with a heavy ass!
"The third?" My abnormal behavior finally brought Brother Zhengchuan back to his senses, he looked at me worriedly, and the person also stood up, called me tentatively, and prepared to walk towards me.
I pointed to the stele with some trepidation and said to Brother Zhengchuan: "It's alive." β
Brother Zhengchuan was probably also frightened by my statement, and couldn't help but turn around, except for the dark night sky and the lonely stone monument, there was nothing at all? Brother Zhengchuan's face also became ugly, he looked at me a little anxiously, and while walking towards me, he asked with concern: "Third child, what's wrong with you?" Is it affected? What is alive? β
My breathing became heavy, I swallowed a mouthful of saliva, not wanting to make myself look so wolf bΓ¨i timid, but my body still couldn't help but tremble, I tried my best to say to Brother Zhengchuan word by word: "It, the stele, the stele is alive, it has a heartbeat!" β
At this time, Brother Zhengchuan had already walked in front of me, and he was very anxious to open my eyelids and observe my eyeballs.
This is the easiest way to judge whether a person is 'evil', or has been strongly influenced, or even 'dove occupies the magpie's nest' by bad things, because the body has the most basic rejection reaction to the energy aura that does not belong to itself, and the natural control of the body is not as handy as the control of the soul of the person himself.
The most direct thing is that in the eyeball, in non-special circumstances, the eyeball will be uncontrollable to turn up, even if you try to control the eyeball, there will be a slightly stiff sense of downward pressure.
This is a situation where you must have experience to fully judge, what you see is a feeling of 'floating' in the eyeballs, and Brother Masakawa obviously has experience in this area, and he made such a judgment as soon as he came, obviously thinking that I was talking nonsense.
I reluctantly pushed away Brother Zhengchuan's hand, let cold sweat break out on my forehead, looked at Brother Zhengchuan very firmly, and said, "Second brother, we must go down the mountain!" I don't know why you didn't feel it, but I definitely didn't feel evil, and the feeling of the heartbeat coming from that stone tablet was so strong that it was clear with every beat. β
Brother Zhengchuan frowned suddenly, there was no disbelief in his eyes, but an indescribable feeling, as if he had already believed me, but he was still in a state of shock, he just muttered a word: "Could it be that if this is the case, I am in trouble." β
What trouble did Brother Masakawa cause? I don't have a way to dig deeper, and I don't want to ask questions, I think going down the mountain now is the best choice! I couldn't help but stand up, pull Brother Zhengchuan, and I was about to go down the mountain!
It's still the same feeling, it's not that this matter can't be revealed, but the real time has not yet come.
But I didn't want to, at this time, under the quiet and heavy night, there was a profound and penetrating voice, which suddenly broke the silence of the night!
And this voice, if you are a child who has stayed in the countryside, will not be unfamiliar! The factories and mining areas where I once lived are also in the combination of urban and rural areas, and I am naturally not unfamiliar with the sound of killing pigs, that is, the strong howl that pigs will struggle before they die!
It's a very normal sound, if it's just a sound, if it's just during the day
Brother Zhengchuan and I looked at each other, and at this moment, we remembered the purpose of going up the mountain in the first place, wasn't it for that mysterious 'pig farm'? If we weren't stupid, we all knew, maybe we would know some secrets?
My determination to go down the mountain began to waver
At this moment, it's 11 o'clock at night!
