Chapter 10: The Statue

Where they were now was an obviously artificially constructed room, and the hole in the ground that they had just jumped from was supposed to be a hole in the roof. The floor tiles under the feet of the three of them are only rough processed stones, but the size is very standard. Behind them is a human-sized statue.

The carving technique of the statue is very rough, and after many years of wind and sand, it has long been impossible to see the original appearance, and can only vaguely see that it is a woman, stepping on something under her feet. The place where the woman's head should be above the shoulders is gone, and the hands that should be stretched forward in the posture are also broken in the middle. Rays of sunlight shone through the hole above the statue, the hole they had jumped on, and shone on the statue, causing it to reflect a faint light.

There is naturally a reason why this seemingly tattered statue can cause Shen Yungui's amazement.

"This thing...... It's a whole piece of Hetian jade" After Shen Yungui recognized the material of the statue, he couldn't wait to pounce on it, "A whole piece, such a big one, looking at the carving technique, it is at least something before the Qin Dynasty!" If it hadn't been smashed...... Where did you come from, I don't know how much the whole thing can be sold for! Xiaobei, can we take it with us when we leave? He was excited for a while, and then he remembered to ask Xia Beifeng's opinion.

As for who Xu Yuan was, he had long forgotten it to the clouds.

"This place is haunted, you can bring it if you dare to, I don't care if something happens." Xia Beifeng took a flashlight and carefully shone the stone, "It's Hetian Yu, yes, but the material is average, it's not that you haven't seen it, why are you so excited?" ”

"Historical value, do you understand historical value!" Shen Yungui had already reached out and touched the broken mouth of the statue, "How can a person like you understand the value of antiques, what kind of good things are in your hands, they are all violent things...... Ouch baby, what's your name, does it hurt if your arm is broken? ”

Xia Beifeng looked at Shen Yungui, who was about to fall into a state of madness, and finally swallowed the sentence "Don't you know who to sell it to when you take the antiques out".

Let this product be excited first, I can't bring it out anyway. He remembered what he had seen when he first came down, the base of the statue that was integrated with the ground, and said gloating in his heart.

"Hey, Xiaobei, come and see what this girl is stepping on" Shen Yungui touched the statue excitedly for a while, and made a new discovery, "It looks like a bug or something...... This thing is so dead that I can't move it, I'll go! ”

"You finally noticed, it's not easy, and I don't want to think that if you can move away, the previous people have already moved away, and it will be your turn?" Xia Beifeng was originally observing the room they were in, when he heard Shen Yungui's voice, he turned around and shook the foot of the statue with a flashlight.

The woman was barefoot, with a small piece of what looked like an arthropod under her feet.

"It's just a cut without a head or tail, and it's so rough carved, how can you recognize what species it is at a glance, who do you think I am?"

"Bear Gris in the supernatural world, dare to eat anything...... Ah, this thing" Shen Yungui's mind flashed, and he thought of something he had seen before, "It can't be the monster I saw that night." ”

"Not necessarily."

Xia Beifeng took a cursory look at the place where they were, closed his eyes and recalled, and after opening his eyes again to make sure that his memory was not wrong, he turned off the flashlight.

The surroundings of the three of them suddenly darkened, and only a small area of sunlight was still bright, and the statue of the woman bathed in the sunlight actually showed a little divine charm in this environment.

"This was supposed to be a place of sacrifice, a shrine or something, and this statue is probably the god they worshipped...... When did you just say this thing came about? Xia Beifeng asked.

"At least before the Qin Dynasty, after the Han Dynasty, the countries in the Western Regions were influenced by the Han people, whether it was sculpture or painting, it was not this primitive style, is there any problem?"

"There's no problem" Xia Beifeng is still very convinced of Shen Yungui's judgment, "That's right, the time when Buddhism began to rise in the Western Regions happened to be around the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in the Central Plains, after the rise of Buddhism, the primitive belief was gradually abandoned, and it was probably abandoned here because of this, but I don't know what kind of god this girl used to be." ”

He stood in front of the statue, brewed his feelings, smiled and asked, "This girl, my name is Xia Beifeng, if it is convenient, can you please come out and talk to me?" ”

The tone of these words is neither humble nor arrogant, and the words are very polite, but I don't know why it is reminiscent of the boy who drives a sports car on the street and picks up a girl, which is very eye-catching.

After a while, the statue remained motionless and did not respond

Xia Beifeng continued to ask cheekily: "We don't want to disturb you, we just want to ask, the three people who came down last night...... It could also be two people and one who are not human, where have they gone now? ”

After a while, nothing happened.

Xu Yuan was almost stupid, if it weren't for Xia Beifeng's behavior everywhere along the way that was much more normal than other people in the same company, he would almost think that this person was actually a neurotic.

"Brother Xia...... It's a rock, would it be useful if you talked to it like that? ”

"Not necessarily, it could be a language barrier." After Xia Beifeng answered Xu Yuan's question seriously, he reached out and touched the statue's chest.

"Xiaobei!" Shen Yungui finally couldn't help it, "You still have no end!" If you don't understand the language, you can touch it, if it works, I just touched it for so long, and I didn't see any reaction from her! ”

"Your touch doesn't work, she won't be angry." Xia Beifeng withdrew his hand and continued to stare at the statue's chest, "What do you want to make her feel, like the king of Xu, writing a poem can make Nuwa angry...... Well, it doesn't seem like it's a language barrier, she's really not here anymore. ”

That's just a rock! You won't react to anything you do, Brother Xia! Xu Yuan felt that this person really needed to go to the hospital to take a look at his brain.

"Isn't here, so where did she go?" Shen Yungui actually followed his words and asked.

Both of them were saved. Xu Yuan thought to himself.

"I haven't gone anywhere, I guess I'm dead."

"Does God also die?" After Xu Yuan asked this, he was shocked to realize that he was also led crooked by these two people, and he suddenly felt that he had nothing to love.

"Of course the gods will die," Xia Beifeng patiently explained to him, "There are generally two kinds of so-called gods for ordinary people. One is a dead person, or something else, the soul has not directly entered reincarnation, and has done something misleading before or after death, and after being believed by people as a god, it will gradually become a certain kind of existence beyond ordinary ghosts. The more people who believe in them, the stronger their power becomes, and if one day no one believes in them, they will quickly turn back into ordinary souls, and after a long time, they will naturally disappear if they do not enter reincarnation. ”

"Huh?" Xu Yuan was stunned.

Xia Beifeng didn't give him time to digest this passage, and then continued: "There is another kind of god that is naturally generated. It's usually mountains, rivers and the like. Everything has a spirit, no matter what it is, after a long time of existence, it will naturally produce consciousness. Most ordinary things will be called demons, and those more powerful things will be called gods, and occasionally appear in front of humans attached to something...... There are all kinds of things, it all depends on their mood, and then they are believed as gods. They generally don't have to worry about disappearing because no one believes them, and as long as their bodies are still there, they won't die. ”

"......" Xu Yuan continued to be confused.

"But this kind of mountain god and river god can't be too far away from their own body, and the things they possess must also be things that they can raise. The river god is okay, he can run around and have fun, but the mountain god is miserable, often staying in one place for hundreds of years, and he is bored to suffocate to death. After Xia Beifeng's "popular science" was finished, he also expressed his opinion, although this did not help Xu Yuan to understand these things that were beyond his understanding.

"Then this ......" Xu Yuan paused and thought for a moment what to call the other party, "Stone girl, what kind of god do you see?" ”

"This is not necessarily, it is possible to look at anything. If she is a girl who is regarded as a god by the locals because she killed some monster, and then because of the appearance of other religions, she is not here after being forgotten, and this statue can be matched" Xia Beifeng looked at the base of the unknown creature-shaped shape that he stepped on under the statue, and said his own speculation while thinking about what this might be, "But it is also possible to say that she is a naturally born god, and the things under her feet are just some animal that she possesses, and finally disappeared because this place became a dead place." After all, whether it is a mountain range or a water vein, it is possible to disappear, just like the place of Lop Nur, which is now gone. ”

"What kind of god are you, girl?" Shen Yungui touched his chin and then asked.

The stone girl still stood quietly and did not answer.

"Actually, she doesn't have to be a god, maybe she's a big man or something, a princess or something." Xu Yuan still didn't want to accept this kind of statement that could completely refresh his worldview that had been formed for more than ten years, and he was dying and trying to refute Xia Beifeng's words.

"Little friend" Shen Yungui sighed, "The ancients didn't have such powerful technology as they do now, and this is the Western Regions, which is much more backward than the Central Plains...... Besides, didn't Xiaobei say that this should be a sacrificial place. ”

After Shen Yungui finished educating Xu Yuan, he turned his head to look at Xia Beifeng and asked, "Speaking of which, Xiaobei, how can you tell that this girl is a god, are you also familiar with these things?" ”

Xu Yuan: "......"

Feelings don't know what's going on, so they just believe it casually!

"Ah......h

The room they were in was not very large, and they could see the surrounding walls at a glance.

There are a lot of cluttered objects that look chaotic at first glance, but if you look closely, you will see that they are arranged in a very regular circle.

After Shen Yungui saw what it was, he gasped.

"There are all sacrifices over there, this god doesn't know what era it is, the method of worshiping her is quite primitive, you just looked at the statue just now, and you didn't find it if you didn't look around carefully" Xia Beifeng turned off the flashlight, turned his head and smiled at Xu Yuan, who was still confused, showing a mouthful of white teeth, "I didn't see it clearly, I really saw it clearly, I don't know what you can be scared of, these sacrifices...... It's all severed heads. ”

Xu Yuan didn't make a lot of noise like he did before because he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to live or die, he just stood in place and shook it, and then fainted directly.

Hello everyone, I'm excited about the dividing line***********************

When I was idle this afternoon to refresh the page, there were ten more clicks at once, and I was so excited that I almost crushed the mouse [No
