"Do you know something?"

I walked up to the moon cicada with a miner's lamp and asked with a serious face.

Yuecia looked at me, nodded and said, "That's right." This thing is called the Stone Monkey Formation, and it is a ritual of worshipping the heavens in the ancient Western Regions. ”

"Celestial ritual?" I straightened my face and said, "In ancient times, after we ascended the throne in the Central Plains, we also needed to hold a ceremony to worship the heavens, and I know that this method is called Feng Zen. And I went to places like the Three Mountains and Five Mountains. Because in ancient times, whether it was the emperor or some important officials, they paid attention to the fact that the name was not right, and the words were not good. Therefore, only after the sealing ceremony can the Central Plains be determined. ”

After I finished saying this, the man in the strong suit on the side seemed to understand a little, but he sneered: "But this small country in the Western Regions is too fucking uneducated, and putting a few stone monkeys is considered a sacrifice to the sky?" No wonder these barbarians from the Western Regions can't live long. ”

Yuecian looked at the man in the strong suit and said angrily: "This sacrifice to the sky is not like the Emperor of the Central Plains to show the power of heaven, but a celebration ceremony. For example, if you take some slaves or something, they will perform these rituals. ”

Saying this, the cicada paused deliberately, then looked at me directly, and said, "You take a closer look at the faces of these stone monkeys. ”

The man in the suit and I held a miner's lamp and shone it out, "This ......"

I found that the faces of these stone monkeys were very human-like.

"What?" The expression on the face of the man in the suit became a little uncomfortable, and he said, "Is there such a stone monkey with a human face in the ancient Western Regions?" ”

He had asked the crucial question. I'm so curious, too. Could it be that there was such a stone monkey with a human face in the Western Regions in ancient times? It's just a fantasy, absolutely impossible, and I've pretty much dismissed it.

Or there is no such stone monkey at all, but the ancient Western Regions Kingdom deliberately found someone to create this kind of stone monkey, maybe it is also a religious belief or something to demonstrate. Otherwise, there is no way to explain it.

"Aren't you looking for Huangquanguo?"

The moon cicada blinked her big apricot eyes, shook her long braids, and asked us.

The man in the suit frowned and asked, "So what?" ”

I didn't speak, but watched quietly, because I knew that the cicada was going to say something next.

Yue Cicada blinked her eyes, nodded and said, "Well, these things are the miles of Huangquan Country." ”

"Huh?"

Yuecia continued: "The Yellow Springs Country is a country with a very strong religion, and their entire country believes that there is hell. And you look at these stone monkeys, their faces are inlaid by the people of Huangquan Kingdom. ”

Hearing the moon cicada say this, I seemed to think of something, and immediately said, "I've heard some of this thing." It seems that there seemed to be some religion before the Western Zhou Dynasty, catching some animals, and then using bronze to create some human faces, and then inlaying these bronze faces into their faces. ”

When Yuecia heard me say this, she immediately shook her head: "But the human faces on the faces of these stone monkeys are real human faces...... It's torn from the real big living people......"

"What ......"

My entire face was about to fall from shock.

How could there be such a cruel means to tear off the cheek of a big living person and then meet the face of a monkey.

Just the thought of this image makes my whole stomach feel as uncomfortable as a river and a sea, and I almost vomit.

When the man in the suit on the side heard this, he also stared straight at him. But his resistance was noticeably much better than mine.

"How do you know?"

I couldn't believe it, and I didn't want to believe it.

"That's what my grandmother told me." The moon cicada gave me a blank look and said, "Believe it or not." He snorted at me.

The man in the strong suit carried the mining lamp and said, "This place is too evil, let's hurry up." ”

When I heard this, I agreed very much, and the more I looked at the faces of these stone monkeys, the more hideous I felt. It was terrifying, and before I knew it, my back was starting to chill.

"Let's go, let's hurry."

I'm also in a hurry.

Yuecia nodded: "You see that the second half of the night has passed, and when it is dawn, our itinerary will become much easier." ”

"And the weather here is very changeable, and the weather is like a human face, and it changes when it is said."

We only heard that the cicada had just finished saying this, and suddenly a thick light appeared in the sky. The light seemed to have pierced through the thick clouds, with a loud rumbling sound.

"Damn, such a big thunder, won't the rain drown us later?"

A few of us almost ran as if we had lost our souls, and ran desperately.

Because the cicadas say that the rain here is very scary.

When we saw some bush-like plants in sight, we knew that we had truly come to the depths of the Devil's City.

The lightning in the sky kept intertwining, and the rumbling sound made my heart hang. I'm afraid that the lightning will accidentally chop me to death.

It's terrible, this lightning almost struck the ground. Some of the wind-eroded rocks were split into pieces.

This lightning is not a joke, if it splits a person's body, it will basically be scorched on the outside and tender on the inside.

"Hurry up and get out of there......

The cicada stretched out her hand and pointed to a hole.

When we heard this, we were about to run, but the old man didn't give us face, and after a bang, the downpour fell directly from the sky.

In an instant, a few of us became a soup chicken, and the rain was unreasonable, and I felt as if I had been upside down from the height of someone's basin.

We don't know what to do with this rain. The moon cicada grabbed me and said, "Hurry up, that's how the rain in the devil's city is." ”

With that, he dragged me to the hole.

Inside the entrance of the cave, the three of us sat around the campfire to make a fire, and all three of us were wet, as if they had just been rescued from drowning.

Silent.

"You two turn around first, I'm going to change my clothes......"

The cicada suddenly broke the silence.

The man in the suit and I were obviously stunned, and we both got up and walked out of the cave.

I looked out of the cave and saw that the rain had stopped, and the scene outside the cave was as if it hadn't rained at all.

Just when I was in a trance, the face of the man in the strong suit on the side suddenly changed.

"Oh no, something big is wrong......"

I looked at him, looked at his expression, and saw that his face was extremely ugly, and his eyes were staring blankly into the distance, as if he had seen something terrible.

I asked, "What's the situation, do you see something?" ”

He said, "You see that thing in the sky? ”

I looked over where he was pointing, and saw what seemed to be a firework blooming in the sky further down in the Devil's City.

He said, "It's called the Grimace Fireworks, the signal smoke that makes our organization, and it's a purple ......."

"Signal smoke, purple? What does it stand for? ”

I don't know what's going on, but I have an ominous premonition in my heart.

"The purple signal smoke represents the highest level of danger in our organization. ”

"What?" My face changed greatly: "So the fifth uncle is in danger?" ”

"We have to hurry up." The man in the suit frowned.

At this time, the cicada seemed to have changed her clothes, and she shouted in the cave, "What's the matter? Did you find anything? ”

At this time, she had already walked out and asked, "Could it be that the Demon Tree has appeared again?" ”

I shook my head: "No, it's my fifth uncle and they are in danger." ”

"Hurry up."

Saying that, this grandson fucking abandoned me and the moon cicada directly, and left with the miner's lamp.

"No, I'll catch up with them."

I frowned, because if I lost myself with him, wouldn't I be able to find the fifth uncle?

But the signal smoke must have come from that direction, right? I looked in a certain direction of the sky and muttered in a low voice.

After saying that, I and the cicada also chased after him.

But when we were halfway through, I saw that the man in front of me seemed to stop.

"What's the situation?" I frowned.

"Look, there's a hole up there......"

Yuecia and I looked at it, and their faces instantly became unnatural......

This Nima's, there's something crawling in this hole......

Just as our hearts were palpitating, we saw a pair of claws come out of that hole......

It almost scared us to death.
