Chapter 219: Everlasting Lantern
After the cave collapsed, they all crawled out of the mound, but only the people with the Xifan carried by Lao Wu were missing, and at this time, Cui Fatzi also drilled from another small space, and at the same time there were people from the Beifan he carried.
At this time, Cui Fatzi had already put on his pants, but the belt was pulled and folded by Zhou Yuefeng in a hurry, and he could only lift his pants, looking very funny. After drilling over, he looked at it and said, "Something is wrong, it seems that there are fewer people." Zhou Yuefeng said: "Don't look at it, Lao Wu and the people he brought with him are all gone." ”
Cui Fat lifted his pants and said: "What's surprising, I thought something was wrong, it must have been buried, hurry up and dig it, otherwise they will have to suffocate to death." ”
But as soon as he said this, he felt that something was wrong, if it was so simple, would Zhou Yuefeng not think of it? So after he finished speaking, he immediately looked at Zhou Yuefeng and said, "Brother Feng, do you see something?" ”
Zhou Yuefeng said: "The three of them have been together, and the other two have nothing to do, if they are buried, this soil will not grow eyes, and only the people who bury the West Horn, right?" ”
Hearing this, the whole space was silent for a moment, Zhou Yuefeng said: "Don't panic, everyone, maybe they escaped or not, look nearby, although there is a collapse here, but fortunately it is not sealed, otherwise we will suffocate to death if we stay here for a long time." ”
Everyone began to look for Lao Wu around them, if it was really buried, time was life now, but Zhou Yuefeng always felt that this possibility was very small. There are accidents in everything, if you don't try your best to find it, if it's really buried, then it's too late to regret it.
At this time, suddenly Cheng Jun shouted: "Young Master Feng, it's not good, come and take a look!" ”
Zhou Yuefeng hurriedly ran over: "What's the matter, you kid was shocked, the yellow-mouthed girl didn't fade away, it just didn't work, he was so frizzy when things happened, how could it become a big deal after that." But when he saw what Cheng Jun pointed out to him, he knew that Cheng Jun's reaction was not an exaggeration at all.
This hole has been divided into small holes by the collapse just now, one after another, Cheng Jun is in the next hole of the small hole where they are, Zhou Yuefeng looked, there are no more than twenty-one statues in this hole, these statues are lifelike, fired with painted pottery.
At this time, Cui Fatzi also ran over, and laughed when he saw it: "There is still this treasure here, let me tell you, this painted pottery is a few years old, the earliest painted pottery was found in the Banpo culture period of about 6,000 years ago, at that time some bottles and jars were burned, these twenty-one figurines must not be late, and you look at this exquisiteness, take it out and definitely sell it at a good price." ”
But Zhou Yuefeng didn't speak, looking at the painted pottery figurines blankly, Cheng Jun said, "Young Master Feng, I'm ...... We are exactly two...... Twenty-one! ”
Zhou Yuefeng said: "It's not just the quantity, what do you see the difference between those figurines? ”
After all, Ma Monkey and Cui Fatzi are both rough people, and they didn't feel anything wrong when they looked at it, so they both shook their heads. Suddenly, Cui Fatzi said, "Brother Feng, why do the figurines here look so dim." ”
Zhou Yuefeng said: "Yes, the lights on their bodies are out. Then they noticed that there was a lamp on the top of each figurine's head and on both shoulders, and that there were three lamps on each figurine, and that the others were all on, but the lights of five of them were extinguished.
Only then did the horse monkey understand: "Brother Feng, you don't want to say that the five people who were killed correspond to Lao Wu and them, right?" Aren't they more auspicious now? ”
Cui Fatzi held his pants in his hand and said: "It's not such a simple matter as being fierce and auspicious, these figurines seem to be at least hundreds of years old even if they don't seem to be thousands of years, at least hundreds of years old, and there are as many people as we entered the cave this time, and it happened that the lights of a few people who disappeared went out, this is definitely not accidental, it is that the ancients have already calculated it to this day." ”
When encountering such a strange thing, they immediately looked at Zhou Yuefeng, if they encountered a zongzi or something, it didn't matter, just fight hard, but when they encountered such a strange thing, they knew in their hearts that if they didn't know Feng Shui, it would be a death.
Zhou Yuefeng said: "Don't worry about these for now, what we should do now is to find a few of them quickly, to see people die or to see corpses, and to find a way out, we don't have much food, only the ones given by the citizens when we went out of the city, we must hurry up and find the way." ”
Ma Monkey said: "When the citizens gave us food, we still thought it was a little funny, but we didn't expect that thanks to these foods, otherwise we would definitely not be able to get through this hurdle." ”
Zhou Yuefeng said: "Now we still have three teams of people, Lao Cui and Ma Monkey, you two continue to lead people to find Lao Wu and them, become an army, you take the brothers of the Nanfan to find the way, let's not delay, hurry up now, we don't have much food, if it takes too long, we will definitely starve to death here." ”
After saying that, they began to look for it, Cheng Jun and they were few of them, so Zhou Yuefeng and Cheng Jun and they found the way together, Cheng Jun asked: "Young Master Feng, I have a question that I haven't figured out, and I don't know if I should ask the article." Zhou Yuefeng said: "You say, there is nothing that should not be asked." ”
Cheng Jun said: "What are those lights made of, how can they be so many years, they are still on, could it be that people deliberately made them, just to scare people here, think about it, even if the ancients are powerful, how can he calculate what will happen in the next thousand years." ”
Zhou Yuefeng patted on the cave wall and said: "The situation you said may indeed exist, but there are exceptions to everything, and there are people who can do this prediction of a thousand years later, and I have also heard that it is said that Emperor Shun often hunted candle dragons in the era and refined them into candles to take light, and the lamps made of oil can not be extinguished for thousands of years, and many emperors also have everlasting lamps in their tombs." ”
Speaking of this, Zhou Yuefeng suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, as if something flashed by. But when I think about it, I can't remember anything. He rubbed his temples vigorously and stopped what he was doing. Cheng Jun saw that something was wrong with him, and asked, "Young Master Feng, are you okay?" ”
He shook his head to indicate that he was fine, and then said to Cheng Jun, "You guys find it first." After saying that, he sat alone in the corner of the hole, and tried hard to recall every word he had just said, but no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't remember which sentence gave him this feeling.
At this time, the horse monkey said: "Brother Feng, their lights are all out, don't look for them, the three lights on the top of the head and on the shoulders are the three breaths of people, these three breaths are gone, they will definitely not work." As soon as the horse monkey mentioned the lamp, Zhou Yuefeng suddenly understood what he had just thought of.
He thought to himself: "Yes, it's the lamp, the lamp is not extinguished, because of the special lamp oil, Emperor Shun hunts the candle dragon, then the lamp that is not extinguished should have something to do with the candle dragon." Now is the time when the Northern Lights are about to appear, and legend has it that the Northern Lights are inextricably linked to the Candle Dragon, this thing is an ancient beast, and maybe you will find an ancient tomb related to your own family here. ”
As soon as he thought of this, suddenly the horse monkey shouted: "Brother Feng, we have found Lao Wu and them." When they heard this, they ran to the place where the horse and monkey were, and when they came there, they saw the five men, but they were all dead.
But the strange thing is that the corpses of the five of them are arranged very regularly, as if someone killed them and then deliberately arranged them neatly, to say that they were buried in the ground and suffocated, but they actually had no dirt or even dust on their bodies, or they were bitten to death by the corpse spirit, but there were no wounds on their bodies.
This kind of scene frightened the few people present, and they felt that cold sweat broke out on their backs, and the corpses lying on the ground were still alive with them in the previous hour, and now they were lying there quietly, not moving, and even their faces were pink, if it weren't for knowing that they were dead, they would have thought they were sleeping.
Zhou Yuefeng looked at it, and with his feelings, he knew that these people were really dead, and their spirits had already been classified into the netherworld, and beckoned to Ma Monkey and Cui Fatzi: "Ma Monkey, Old Cui, beckon your subordinates to carry their corpses, let's find a way." ”
A few younger brothers looked at the corpses on the ground, but no one dared to move, because the corpses were so weird that it made people look like their hairs stood on end.
Seeing that they hesitated a little, Zhou Yuefeng said: "It's okay, carry it, they don't have any dirt on them, and they don't have spirits, even if you just carry them, we have to go out quickly, otherwise we have to starve to death here." ”
Cui Fatzi looked at it and said, "Brother Feng, we still have enough to eat, do you want to let the brothers eat before leaving?" Zhou Yuefeng said: "No, let's leave now." "A few junior brothers have never seen Zhou Yuefeng so inconsiderate, he has always been very good to his brothers, this time he was suddenly so strict, they were really a little uncomfortable, but since Young Master Feng spoke, naturally no one dared to disobey.
The remaining twelve little brothers took turns carrying the corpses of the five people, but they were not too tired, but in this earthen cave that was divided into small holes, they walked far and did not find a way out, although the air did not suffocate them, but it could only be regarded as barely enough to supply breathing, the circulation was very bad, and they were a little dizzy after a long time.
Cui Fatzi asked Zhou Yuefeng: "Brother Feng, they are a little exhausted, why didn't they leave after they were full?" ”
Zhou Yuefeng said: "Now in this hole, they have no hope, if I don't give them a little hope, then they really have no motivation at all, I don't let them eat the only remaining rations, the main thing is that there is hope in their hearts, they know that at least they will not starve to death immediately, if they are directly allowed to eat, then they will feel that they are really going to die." ”
