Chapter Twenty-Four: The Book of Heaven

The old man said: "On a summer day 20 years ago, a total of 9 people from the Yelang archaeological team came here, because I am particularly familiar with this sacred primeval forest, known as the living map of the forest, the Yelang archaeological team found me as their guide through the village chief, including Xiao Yao's parents. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”

When I heard this, I felt very close to my parents for the first time, and I didn't feel a little sad, but Wakao comforted me when he saw that I was unhappy, and I nodded to them to indicate that it was okay.

The old man continued: At first, I disagreed, because this forest is indeed too dangerous, and on several occasions I have encountered pythons and poisonous spiders in it, and there are countless jackals, tigers and leopards. But because Zhuwang was seriously ill at that time, it was Xiao Yao's parents who spent a lot of money to cure Zhuwang, and later begged me several times, saying that they were looking for the mysterious and lost ruins of the ancient kingdom of Yelang for the sake of the country's archaeological cause.

So after repeated requests from the archaeological team, I decided to say yes.

I decided to set off on the morning of July 19th, the first night we packed our things, because the primeval forest is high and dense, all the luggage is carried manually, a total of 10 people, each division of labor, that night everyone was very happy. I stressed that once I entered the forest, all actions must be under my command, and everyone applauded in unison.

As the old man spoke, he came over and sat down, and told us slowly, and all the stories began here!

On the morning of July 19th, we had breakfast and everything was ready to go, starting from the woods behind my house. I had only heard from the old people in the village about the ancient kingdom of Yelang, but I had never seen it with my own eyes, it was said that it was a mysterious country that suddenly disappeared more than 2,000 years ago, and no one knew where their ruins were, and some people said that they were taken to hell by terrible spirits.

We Dong people are very in awe of the forest, and before entering, I worshipped the mountain to pray that the forest spirits of our ancestors would not be disturbed.

At that time, according to the archaeological team, the ancient country of Yelang is the center of the Miao Yi culture in the southwest, and it is a very rich place, and the ancient country of Yelang used to have about 100,000 elite soldiers, so it must not only be here in our Xiangxi, but also possible to cross to Guizhou or Yunnan.

Although the archaeological team has all kinds of experts and various instruments, after all, it is an ancient city that disappeared more than 2,000 years ago, and there is no trace to be found.

When I heard the point of excitement, I interrupted and said, "Old man, you just relied on an ancient map, what ancient map?" ”

The old man listened to my question, raised his head and frowned, the dim light in the hall shone on the face that had experienced the vicissitudes of life, and the wrinkles on his face were the marks of the years, and they were also the sustenance that I could find my missing parents at this moment.

The old man thought for a while, and then said: "Oh, I remember, I remember that it should have been in your father Xiao Jianmin's hand at that time, it is said that they were pieced together from the local county records, and I don't know the specifics." ”

When I heard the words "Xiao Jianmin", it was so strange and familiar, and I couldn't help but sigh in my heart that fate made people.

I secretly restrained my emotions in my heart, and then listened to the old man continue......

We trekked through mountains and rivers along the way, crossed mountains and mountains, searched in the forest for several days, but there were no clues, and even locals like me did not dare to enter the further inside, because we Dong people believe that the depths of the mountains are the deep resting place of the souls of our ancestors, and we cannot be disturbed.

I told Xiao Yao's father at the time, I can only send it here, and then it is up to you to do the rest, and Professor Xiao is not embarrassed by me, so he let me go home.

Just as I was about to pack up my things and prepare to go back, it happened that I can't forget it for the rest of my life, what a thrilling and terrible scene it was, and I will never forget it for the rest of my life.

When the old man said this, he always felt that he was a little afraid to talk about it, and I thought that the old man would not talk about it anymore, but the old man still told us about it.

I remember that when I was about to go back, one of the young men named Guo Fan shouted from the side of the forest: "Come here, come here, I have found something here." ”

Xiao Yao's father and I immediately ran over, and when we looked at it, I felt very strange at that time, a strange stone tablet was erected, and strange words were engraved on it, twisted and twisted, and there were about hundreds of pieces at a glance.

This discovery made all the archaeological team members excited and shocked, and Xiao Yao's mother asked what kind of text this was? How have I never seen it, and the other team members are also waving their heads.

Only Xiao Yao's father, Professor Xiao, made an answer, saying that it was called "Yelang Tianshu", saying that he had read it in a historical document, and the reason why it was called Tianshu was not only because the words could not be understood, but because this way of writing was like a stroke of genius, so it was called "Yelang Tianshu".

I asked what was engraved on it, and Professor Xiao made us all fall into a deep thought, saying, "If my guess is correct, there should be a mass grave down here, and the names of people should be recorded on this monument." ”

I snapped to my knees and kowtowed a few times towards the mass grave, hoping that their spirits would be strange.

Professor Siu instructed the team members to use rubbings to record these characters for future archaeological research.

Everyone was very happy with this discovery, thanked me very much, and gave me a sum of money to use for my daily life. Just as everyone was quietly extending the words on the stele, bursts of faint red light began to emit in the soil, and after a while, it burned all over the mass grave, Professor Xiao hurriedly asked people to retreat aside, no one knew what was going on?

But just when we were attracted by these strange red lights, the next terrible scene appeared.

When the old man finished speaking, my mind suddenly flashed, how do I feel that I have never seen this kind of situation before? At this time, Jiang Yang, who was on the side, patted me and glanced at me, and I understood that Jiang Yang should also react the same as me.

I remembered what I had encountered in the ancient tomb of Wumozi a few days ago, so I asked suspiciously, "Old man, are you talking about a red glowing spider?" I've seen this kind of spider, called the blood spider, which is specially fed with human blood, and it is extremely dangerous. ”

The old man listened, and quickly nodded in response.

Second Uncle Bai asked me on the side, "Where did you see this kind of spider?" ”

At this moment, I was stunned, and I didn't know how to answer, because Uncle Nine was sitting on the side, and I was going to say that when I encountered such a dangerous thing, he would definitely scold me again.

At this time, Uncle Nine saw through my little trick and said to Second Uncle Bai: "These stinky boys actually went to fight without me, if I hadn't rescued them back, I would have fed the big dumplings a long time ago!"

The three of us immediately bowed our heads together and did not speak as if we had made a mistake. Wakao laughed as he watched us, which made me feel really embarrassed.

The second uncle sighed and said: "It turns out that you still have such an experience, you really deserve to be the descendant of Guigumen, Lao Jiu, we are the successors!" After saying that, he laughed.

Zhu Wang, who was listening attentively on the side, was very confused, because what zongzi are all words in the industry, ordinary people can't understand them, I'm afraid that Uncle Jiu will say anything about my fight, so I changed the topic at once, and immediately let the old man continue......

At that time, we only saw pieces of red things, and we didn't know that it was a blood spider, the team members were very curious about this light, so they ran over to look, looked at the light, and the curious Guo Fan prepared to touch it with his hand, but he didn't expect the next disaster to happen.

Before Guo Fan's hand received the red light, the blood spider swallowed Guo Fan's palm in his stomach with one mouth, and Guo Fan screamed in pain, so scared that several team members grabbed Guo Fan and ran, we were all stunned, Professor Xiao shouted and ran.

I was also stunned by the fright, only to see the spiders with red light begin to disperse, and Professor Xiao pulled me and Xiao Yao's mother and ran away.

The team members were scared to scurry around, and when I was running, I looked back and saw giant red spiders chasing after us, grinning with bared teeth, and the whole thing was armed to the teeth.

Professor Xiao shouted at this time, asking us to run separately, so that we can get rid of the spider, listening to Professor Xiao's words, we were ten people in groups of two or three, running separately.

I was running with Xiao Yao's parents at the time, because the forest is deep and dense, this group of spiders can go up the trees again, and they must have been eaten when they run, Professor Xiao asked me while running, where is the river?

In the process of escaping for their lives, people are always the most sober, I immediately thought of a river nearby, so I took them to run over, and saw a rapid current, and we didn't care whether the water was deep or shallow, and jumped down.

Just as I was about to jump, I was impaled in my thigh by a spider's antennae, and I passed out, and by the time I woke up, I was already lying in the county hospital. Later, I learned that it was a hunter who was hunting and rescued me, and I just picked up a life.

Later, I went around and asked if anyone had seen Professor Xiao and them, but everyone didn't know about it, and Professor Xiao has not been heard from since, and slowly as time went by, the venom left by the spider's tentacles made me blind after a few weeks, and since then I have tried to find Professor Xiao They have no chance, and they are still concerned about them.
