On both sides of this huge iron gate, there are two golden giant beasts erected, the stone base base, there is half a person high, it looks a bit like a unicorn, take a closer look, and a little like the legendary Pixiu, the workmanship is very exquisite, lifelike, very expressive.

I pointed to these two giant beasts and said to Yang Xue: "Look at this statue, the shape is peculiar, the golden light is dazzling, it seems to be made of pure gold, but, if it is made of real gold, such a big one, not to mention more than 200 catties, according to the current gold market price, its own value alone is worth tens of millions, not to mention its archaeological value, these two golden elephants, take it out is a national treasure, if foreigners see it, I am afraid it will shock the world." ”

When I saw these two golden statues, I trembled with excitement, and I thought about how to pull them off the pedestal, how to transport them, how to make a windfall, how to spend the money, and so on. Although Yang Xue was also surprised, but much calmer than me, she walked over and reached out and knocked, but at this time, there was a "click" sound from inside the golden statue, Yang Xue was bold, and put her ear on it to listen, and suddenly fell to the ground in fright, pointed to the golden statue and said tremblingly: "Inside...... There is someone! ”

My scalp exploded, I got goosebumps all over my body, and stammered, "Yes...... Who are they? ”

Yang Xue was also stunned, and suddenly stretched out her hand and "shhhh I stopped talking and covered one of the golden statues of the giant beast with a flashlight, and there was a strong golden light in my eyes, accompanied by the mist of this mine, it looked hazy, and I saw a series of very sharp strange screams coming from the open mouth of the giant beast, which sounded very evil.

This strange cry is full of evil nature, and when you listen closely, it looks like a ghost cry from a baby who can't speak, and it is accompanied by a piercing scratching sound, as if the things inside are scratching inside with their fingernails, and the sound is so sharp that people feel numb when they hear it.

We didn't dare touch the two statues again, but after a while, the sound slowly stopped. I lowered my voice and asked Yang Xue:

"I just thought that this giant beast statue was solid, but I didn't think it was still empty, what was it, sealed in the belly of the statue, could it be a ghost?"

Yang Xue got up from the ground, stepped on broken steps, walked to the mouth of the statue, and gently shone it with a flashlight, and saw that there was a hollow hole in the mouth, extending from the throat of the giant beast to the inside, and due to the curved angle, the abdomen could not be seen at all. Yang Xue retreated and slapped the light on Najin's body:

"Doesn't this statue look familiar? Isn't this the tattoo on the Miao Ding that we dug up a few years ago in our hometown? ”

After Yang Xueyi said, I remembered that in the Miao village of my hometown, a few years ago, a farmer dug out a copper tripod in the mountains, the old farmer didn't know what it was, thought it was worth a few dollars, so he took it to the market to sell, and then was seen by the people of the Cultural Relics Bureau and took it away. This matter is well known in our old family, and later identified by professionals, this tripod is the product of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, is the sacrifice of the ethnic minorities of the Tianding, the body of the tripod is a kind of giant beast called "gluttony", belongs to one of the dragons, according to legend, gluttony is Chi You lost to the two emperors of Yan and Huang, was cut off by the head of the different place of resentment, has the ability to devour all things, was sealed by the Yellow Emperor with the Xuanyuan sword. Therefore, the descendants of the Miao descendants in Nanban have many totems with gluttony as a totem to sacrifice Chiyou.

But now, how could there be such a statue of such an ancient beast here, and, it seems, there is something alive in the belly of this giant beast. I only heard my grandfather tell me that there is a technique of raising Gu among Miao witches, which seals the "mother Gu" that survives after the killing of hundreds of insects into a vessel, leaving many round holes, and continues to feed poisonous insects. When this "mother Gu" matures, many "little Gu" will be born, and the Gu woman calculates the date and puts the "little Gu" drilled out of the round hole into the bottle for the purpose of releasing the Gu. But the two golden statues in front of him, to say the least, are thousands of years, how can the monster in the belly still be alive? Sperm?

I said to Yang Xue: "This thing is too evil, I can see that my three views are ruined, I have always been a devout scientist, I really can't accept this kind of unreasonable thing." I think it's better for us to go away, in case the monster in the belly of this statue breaks out, we may not be able to resist it. ”

Yang Xue frowned deeply, and said to herself on the side: "I just can't figure it out, for what reason these two statues are placed here, what will be behind this iron gate, why do you use so many iron chains to seal them?" ”

I was also confused, so I took the flashlight to shine on the chain, at this time, Yang Xue suddenly said "Huh" and said in surprise: "Why is this chain moving?" ”

I gathered my mind, a look, I don't know, I don't know when it started, the iron cable hanging in front of the iron gate, for some reason, suddenly shook violently, and then, suddenly from behind the iron door came a crashing sound, the force is very huge, under the collision, the entire iron door was shaken to the ground, the countless iron chains, at this moment like wind chimes, hit each other, making a series of metal hitting sounds.

I was so frightened that I retreated again and again, hurriedly grabbed Yang Xue, and shouted, "Not good! Looks like what's behind the iron gate is coming out, run! ”

The sound of the impact came and went, and the power was amazing, and the iron gate was so old that it could not bear the force of the impact, and it was about to collapse towards us. We didn't dare to observe any further, so we hurriedly turned around and ran back.

When we reached the three-way intersection, we paused for a moment, thinking that since it was a dead end in the middle, we might as well go into this cave on the left and have a look, maybe there would be a cave that communicated with the outside world. We didn't dare to hesitate, for fear that the thing behind the iron door would break the iron cable and pounce out. How huge the iron gate is, and it is firmly locked with countless iron chains, what is it that can shake the power of this thousand catties?

We ran for more than half an hour in one go, and the mine was blocked by an iron gate. This iron gate is not big, about two meters high, I don't know how long it has been built, rusty, the whole door is half-open, revealing a gap, I estimate that it should be able to open with a push. It was only when we were frightened that we didn't dare to act rashly, when we suddenly saw a recessed window in the upper part of the iron door, and we could get a glimpse of the situation behind us.

Yang Xue glanced at me, then stepped on the cat's step, and cautiously approached the window, wanting to see what it was like inside. I saw her walk to the window, lift her neck slightly, and then hold up a pocket flashlight to shine inside. She looked at me for a few seconds, beckoned to me, reassured me, and said:

"There's no monster in there...... Even if there were, it turned into bones......"
