Chapter Sixty-Nine: Another Way

It's really deep underground, and the black rocks above your head contrast with the rock formations below. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info What we didn't find was that there were some holes dug into the top of the entrance to the cave where there were some stone figurines inside.

The eyes of the stone figure stared directly at us, and I always felt the wind swishing behind me, so I quickly withdrew my gaze, not daring to look any further.

Gu Tong said: "This may not be a mausoleum, or it may be a holy place, these nine eggs are..."

These nine eggs are what we called the "Phoenix Nine Chicks", a place that may have had no water thousands of years ago, and those chains were originally carrying a bridge. The ancient Cypriot people worshiped nature, and some of them were exiled to the country of Xiaowan and established a political power, and spiritually they established the phoenix as a totem, because the phoenix represents auspiciousness in the minds of the common people.

In the hundreds or even thousands of years of history after that, the people of Xiaowan have introduced Buddhism and Taoism, and the ruling class still worships the phoenix as the highest god in order to better rule the hearts of the people, so that what we see now, Buddha is not Buddha, Tao is not Tao, in the final analysis, it is the masterpiece of the ruling class.

On the murals in the Yongdao, there are countless flying birds, flying in one direction, which is what we call a hundred birds and a phoenix, the bird can represent the subject, can represent the religion, but in the final analysis, must worship and submit, the supreme ruler - the phoenix.

This is just like our Central Plains Dynasty believes in Confucianism, Confucianism emphasizes the divine right of the king, the emperor is the son of God, so he is the Son of Heaven, everything the Son of Heaven says and does is granted by God, if anyone objects, it is against God. The emperor is also called the True Dragon Son of Heaven.

But in the end, none of us have ever seen a dragon, and we all know that dragons are imagined by simple working people, but although we have not seen a phoenix in front of us, we have seen eight of the nine chicks of the phoenix.

I asked Gu Tong again: "This doesn't make sense, if the phoenix breeds nine chicks, then why do we get phoenix eggs, is it that the phoenix gives birth to itself?" ”

Gu Tong explained: "I have thought so before, only one explanation can make sense, what you get is not a phoenix egg, but a Dafeng egg, Dafeng is the eldest of the nine chicks, an extremely ferocious bird, according to legend, was shot by Hou Yi in ancient times. ”

Hearing this, the fat man said: "Ancient expert, you are also an intellectual under our socialism, why are you so confused, I know that Hou Yi is a mythical person, how can he appear here?" ”

My thoughts are almost the same as the fat man, when I was a child, I heard my grandfather tell mythological stories, and when I grew up, I knew that after all, what is it, we have to pay attention to science now, and those gods and monsters and thieves in feudal society are imaginary. But listening to Gu Tong say so solemnly and matter-of-factly, I was a little stunned for a while, could it really be that Hou Yi said this?

Gu Tong smiled and said: "Hou Yi definitely doesn't shoot the sun, but Hou Yi should exist." ”

The fat man interrupted Gu Tong's speech: "If you want to tell myths and stories, let's go out and tell them again, there is nothing to take in this place, just a few eggs, how about taking them all out?" ”

I grabbed the hand that the fat man had stretched out, and said You are looking for death, don't forget that we took that egg before, what happened, you are not afraid to cut off your head again?

The fat man's outstretched hand retracted again, and the third child on the side picked up an egg while I wasn't paying attention, and said, "What can it be, isn't it just an egg." ”

I turned my head to look at the third child, only to see him holding an egg in his hand and looking at me mockingly, as if to say, "How can you be a team leader if you are so small." ”

The fat man's eyes were straight, for fear that he wouldn't be able to grab it, so he quickly grabbed the egg on the ground and put it in the bag, and when he just reached out to get the second one, a boom came. I immediately became alert and pricked up my ears to discern the direction of the sound.

After listening to it for a while, I felt that the sound was not coming from one direction, but from all directions. A strong sense of crisis filled the air around them, and everyone's expressions were about to freeze, and I shouted to the fat man, "Put the eggs back quickly." ”

The third child's egg was in his hand, and he didn't want to put it back, the fat man's bag was stuck by the rope, and he couldn't open it for a long time, and my head was full of sweat in a hurry, and he scolded: "Fatty, if you take things again, I'll throw you in the river to feed the fish." Hurry up and get out of here. ”

This time, I couldn't wait to go one by one, tied the rope around my waist, I started with Emma, Gu Tong and Li Guohua were in the middle, and the matter started because of the third child, he volunteered to be at the bottom, and I didn't bother to argue with him.

The distance of just thirty meters, but at this time it seems extraordinarily long, I can even hear the sound of my own heartbeat, speeding up one by one, as soon as my front foot landed, there was a bang on the island in the middle of the lake, and a raging fire ignited, and the other rope we fixed on the island was burned in an instant.

The third child was shocked, used both hands and feet, and desperately climbed back. We all secretly pinched a cold sweat for him, and when the third child crawled closer, the thick iron chain could no longer withstand the heat of the flames, and broke in response.

Li Guohua hurriedly stepped forward to help the third child, and when we looked at the island in the middle of the lake in shock, it had become a big fireball, and the raging flames made us feel its scorching temperature from thirty meters away.

The third child knew that he was in trouble, and lowered his head and said to Li Guohua: "I'm sorry, boss, I shouldn't have touched those things without permission." ”

Li Guohua said: "You should apologize to Mr. Zou. ”

I frowned and stared at the third child and Li Guohua after speaking, and sighed: "Forget it, you are not to blame for not knowing, I hope you don't make the same mistake again, and you won't have such good luck next time." ”

The third child is a very good bodyguard, if there is no instruction from Li Guohua, it is impossible to take things with his own hands, but if they want to sing such a double reed, what can I, as an employed person, say?

The fat man whispered into my ear at this time, and said that the egg he was holding had not been put back yet, and that he should tell them.

My first reaction was the same as that of the fat man, first tell them, and then I thought, I finally came here, what's wrong with bringing some things, don't they also have secrets to hide from us, anyway, each has a ghost, then conceive.

There's nothing to see here, we can only follow the same path back to the place where the three waters meet, along the way Gutong endlessly guessed, Emma also echoed on the side, but looking at Emma's eyes seemed to be a little wrong, but what was wrong, I can't say.

went ashore, took Tong Qin and Li Mei, and returned to the original point, now we have only one way left, this time the situation has changed somewhat, at Emma's strong request, I and her two as forwards, first to explore the road, Li Guohua insisted on sending the third child to accompany us. In the end, Emma had to frown and agree.

So we went twenty meters along the third waterway, but a huge gate blocked the way, and when we opened the gate, we went more than ten meters inside, and there were two more holes beside the waterway, but the water did not diverge.

Emma asked, "How do I go here?" Why don't I walk to the side, and you two go that way? ”

I immediately shook my head: "No, no, no, you take one road as a woman, let the two of us go one way, I don't worry, or you go the same way with him, he is a professional bodyguard, and it is more than enough to protect you." ”

"That's not good, what will you do if I go with him? It doesn't matter if something happens to him, if something happens to you, it will matter to the life and death of our entire team. I can't take that risk. Hearing Emma look down on himself so much, the third child's face was full of anger, and even revealed a murderous aura, although he covered it up very well, Emma glanced at it and said, "Look at what? If you think I'm wrong, you can ask your boss. ”

When did this Nizi care so much about me, the head of the words is the truth, the third child wanted to refute, but he couldn't find any reason. In the end, it was decided that Emma and I were in a team, and the third was alone, divided into two sides, and made marks along the way, and met here in an hour, if the time came, and did not come out, the other team did not need to look for it, and quickly went out to inform the others, and evacuated for the time being.

After Emma pulled me into the hole, she turned off the flashlight and motioned for me to squat down before she had walked three or four meters. This girl wants to wait here to see the third child, but according to me, the possibility of the third child following us is very small. As a professional bodyguard, he won't even understand this, Emma's little tricks, anyone can see that there are flaws, if he doesn't see it, then he is really a little sorry for the Li family's salary.

After walking down for a distance of nearly 100 meters, it took three turns to reach the end, and it was also an unusually vast space, appearing in front of our eyes, and there seemed to be many things, and the flashlight was too weak to see clearly.

Looking at the watch again, in a short distance of 100 meters, we walked for almost forty minutes, and there was not much time left for us to get better with the third child, so we had to go back and have a round with him first, and then make plans when everyone came in together.

Emma also agreed with me, and as she walked along the road, Emma suddenly said, "Have you read an ancient book called "Qimen Ancient Seal"? ”

I looked at her with surprise on my face for a long time, but fortunately, the light was dim, she didn't see the change in my expression, and when she saw that I didn't talk, she said: "Don't get me wrong, I heard my grandfather talk about it when I was a child, this book is handed down from ancient times, and it is said that it can be traced back to the Yanhuang era at the earliest. ”
