Chapter Thirty-Six: Spotless Chairs
Like the pyramids, the ancient Chinese created too many structures to be believed, including the huge mountain in front of Cha Wenbin, which Cha Wenbin called the "altar." I can only describe this altar as a "mountain", and if this is true, then it is probably the largest altar in the world.
The altar is located deep in the dense jungle, which is impossible to read with the naked eye, and the moss and vines cover it, which can be explained if it is really left by the ancients for thousands of years and no one has found it. The stones were covered with upside-down vines, which must have been green and covered with a thick layer of dirt thousands of years ago.
"You really want to go up, I don't think it's going to be counted?" I'm worried, it's an inclined plane greater than ninety degrees, a typical inverted trapezoid, narrow below and wide above. If it's a few meters high, it's just a few meters high, and if you fall down, you will hurt your muscles and bones at most, but this is dozens of meters high, and who knows which years and months of these vines have dried up and which ones are new. It's not been peaceful these days, and it's a big deal to send your life here.
If Cha Wenbin can listen to me, then he will not be Cha Wenbin.
"Gotta go, you guys wait here, I'll try."
The fat man grabbed a rattan with one hand and said, "Cha Ye, I'll accompany you!" ”
"Don't go, just wait here, you're heavy and dangerous."
Shi Dangdang returned to the side unwillingly and muttered: "The fat man is really not welcomed anywhere!" ”
When Cha Wenbin went up, he used his hands and feet at the same time, constantly changing between those rattans, and each time it took some time to determine whether the next rattan was strong. Not to mention that he climbed, we all felt worried when we looked at it, and the stone was covered with moss. At that time, Yueyue's feet were all liberating shoes, and the soles were already slippery, which can be described as a stumble.
The reason why he is so powerful is that once he recognizes it, things will not change, even if there is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire in front of him. An hour later, he really let him touch it all the way along the way, waved at us on the top, and then couldn't see him because of the angle.
After Cha Wenbin climbed to the top, he found that this place is called a cave. The area was the size of a football field, and although there was vegetation on the top of the cliff, the steps leading to the height in the middle were still obvious, and there were seven or eight pillars of the thickness of several people.
Some of these pillars have fallen down and broken into several pieces, and some are still standing there, and in the middle of the pillars is the step, about seven or eight meters high. Cha Wenbin counted it, there were a total of forty-nine steps, and looking up along these steps was a building similar to a beacon tower. The magic of these things is that they are a whole, which means that some people used the mountain as a raw material for carving, and then built these buildings separately using the techniques of yin and yang carving.
At that time, information was still underdeveloped, and in Cha Wenbin's eyes, it was just a little dilapidated, a little desolate, and a little more yin.
There is no light all day long, and it is normal to be haunted. This kind of abandoned building in the old forest should be inherently associated with that thing, Cha Wenbin closed his eyes slightly, adjusted his breathing to the most gentle rhythm, and slowly relaxed the whole person to try to integrate into this strange environment.
Everyone has a sixth sense, strong or weak, and Cha Wenbin belongs to the category that is naturally strong. He didn't need to do divination, he just had to feel, and he had been taught about his ability to foresee when I was very young. He carefully distinguished the breath here, the direction of the wind, and the uneasiness that flowed inexplicably in the air.
Suddenly, his left brow twitched, and the corners of his eyes turned up slightly. The moment he opened his eyes, it was as if something flashed by. He knew that right now, there was a pair of eyes staring at him not far from him, and that aura was very strong, as if there was a magic force guiding him, which was completely different from the ghost aura emitted from that woman's body.
Steps! His heart made his eyes fixed on it, but another voice in his head repeatedly reminded: Don't go, Cha Wenbin, don't go!
People have a natural curiosity in the face of unknown areas, which is the desire to peep, Cha Wenbin is a human, he is not a god, he is just a teenager. That reason may seem much more mature in front of us, but in the face of such temptation, he will choose to push the door open.
Take the first step, there will be a second step, one wrong step, one wrong step, and you will lose all the games if you are not careful!
Walking slowly up the steps, time stands still in one moment, and the next moment it seems to have turned back. Everything around them was receding, the broken pillars were starting to reassemble, and the fallen stones were rearranged to their original flavor. The altar, covered with rattan and weeds, is a reminder of the grand ceremony that is about to take place, as if it had just been built yesterday.
The faint singing voice chanted about that distant and unknown era, and Cha Wenbin could see people around him, those in black robes and barefoot, with their hands raised above their heads. On the altar, there was a woman sleeping on a long stone bench, dressed in white, her face covered with a hazy veil, and Miaoman's figure looked exquisite in this song.
The woman slowly sat up from the chair, she stretched out her hand and gently hooked her fingers towards Cha Wenbin, his ears were full of words: "Come on, come on", the voice was so soft that even the bones felt soft.
We were also anxious down there, especially me, and I always felt that it was wrong to let him go alone, because he hadn't been there for two hours since he went up.
Somehow, I've been restless since I left the house in the morning, and I've been walking around in place all the time I've been waiting.
"Fatty, I don't care, I think I have to go up!"
"You?" The fat man looked at me in surprise and said, "Xiaoyi, if you really don't worry, I'll come, I'm afraid that I will fall down first when I climb halfway through." ”
"You can't do it even more, Wen Bin is right, I don't know if this rattan can bear your weight, or I'll come, I didn't climb trees when I was a child." I took off my shoes and tied the laces of both shoes together and hung them around my neck, as going barefoot would probably be better for me when climbing.
Yuan Xiaobai saw that I insisted on going, so he could only say, "Then you should be careful." ”
My climbing technique was actually the best of the three, and it was so much higher than I thought it would be, and I didn't dare to look down at it, so I could only keep my head up, and it was in this way that I was able to reach the summit in less than 20 minutes. After reaching the top, I shouted Cha Wenbin's name, and although we had been shouting in front of us before, there was still no response. The situation here can basically be swept away at a glance, Cha Wenbin can't fly, he must still be on it.
The steps also attracted me, and made me feel the urge to go up unconsciously, so I walked up too.
It's just some ruined ruins, and I walked around and found nothing, but there was a large stone chair at the top of the steps, which was a bit like the dragon chair that the ancient emperor sat on. I was going to sit down and rest for a while, and I subconsciously reached out to dust it, and when my hand was about to touch the chair, I was startled.
Wrong!
The larch needles in the northeastern woods are covered like a carpet, the stones here are full of creepers and mosses, and the weeds are knee-high.
Only this chair, it is spotless, as if it was just chiseled out and placed here!
And there is another reason why my hand is retracted, the back of this "stone chair" is carved with neither a dragon nor a phoenix, it is actually carved with a fox! A fox with a huge tail of an elder, the tail spread evenly like a peacock with the screen open, wisps by wisps. I counted, no more, no less, just nine wisps, and the fox's eyes were red, slightly smaller than the nails, and they were not inlaid with them, but natural.
It may not be unusual to put it in other places, but this "mountain", this whole mountain is black from beginning to end, without any other color. However, the appearance of the fox on this chair is indeed snow-white, and with the pair of eyes, it would be too subtle to say that this pattern is just a masterpiece of nature.
The "chair" was elongated, about two meters long and about half a meter wide, with carved armrests on both sides. I touched it lightly with my hand, and a cold breath came from my fingers, and then I looked closely to see that there was really not a trace of dust left on my fingers.
It would have been fun to meet this kind of place when I was a few years younger, but now, after I have experienced something "special", the first reaction in my mind is: run!
And the faster you escape, the better!
