The Tomb of the Yellow Skin Chapter 18: Watching the Dragon (Part II)

Ding Sitian also said: "Yes, in ancient peasant uprisings, they all had to dig up the emperor's tomb first, which also shows the fearless spirit of the peasant rebel army to defy the feudal royal power and the determination to stand against them. "But although Ding Sitian said so, she is a girl after all, although she has been a Red Guard, she is not as bold as me and the fat man, and she is a little afraid of the ancient tomb that is difficult to overcome, ask me what is in the ancient tomb?

I was a little panicked when I first entered this tunnel, but after walking for a while, I have gradually adapted to the oppressive and dark environment in this tunnel, and my courage has grown stronger, and when Ding Sitian asked what was in the tomb, he said half-jokingly: "Maybe it's like the palace, there are a lot of carved fountains or something." Suddenly remembered that he had seen the ancient tomb ghost market in the deep mountains of the Great Xing'an Mountains, so he described them with oil and vinegar: "Those carvings are all ancient women, not only do they look very smooth, but they are also naked and undressed, they are ** carvings, they are all marble, I have seen them with my own eyes in the mountains." ”

The fat man and Ding Sitian didn't know anything about these things, I didn't know if what I said was true or not, I couldn't answer with big eyes, I continued to tell them: "Now we have to be disciplined, if we really enter the ancient tomb for a while, we can't be rash, even if it is a tomb robbery, we are not allowed to destroy cultural relics and monuments, and those who shoot and move knives can't be directed at the ** on the wall, especially Xiao Fat, you are definitely not allowed to touch the marble carved ** palace maid in it, that is all left by the old zongzi to our proletariat." ”

I said it solemnly, and bluffed the fat man into a mouthful: "Promise ** that I will never touch it, anyway, we just don't touch it, whoever touches it is the grandson...... Hey, no, we're also proletarians, why can't we touch it? ”

At this time, Ding Sitian interjected and asked me: "Comrade Lenin, can you really be sure that this cave full of rats is an ancient tomb?" I said helplessly: "Actually, I don't know, just now I was afraid that you would be nervous, so I just talked a few nonsense words to reassure you, to be serious, I think this may be an ancient tomb, or it may not be an ancient tomb, as for what kind of place this is, only God knows, ghosts know." ”

The fat man gritted his teeth angrily: "Lao Hu, what you just said turned out to be nonsense, what does it mean that it may or may not be?" As we spoke, we have unconsciously walked to the end of the tunnel, there is no simple and dilapidated big stone bricks here, but a dome-shaped natural cave, the cave is not very big, about more than 100 square meters, around this cave, it is a tunnel one by one, the scale and shape are the same as the one we entered, in it, it is impossible to distinguish between the southeast and the northwest.

The fat man and I carried the old sheepskin for a long time, and our arms were a little sore, and we found that there were many forks in the road around here, and we didn't know where to go for a while, so we put him down first, and the old sheepskin was talking nonsense in a daze, as if he was still thinking about his cattle and horses.

Ding Sitian picked up the lamp and looked at it, and said worriedly: "This is simply an underground labyrinth, have we entered the very center of the underground labyrinth, why do all the tunnels lead here?" ”

I rubbed my sour shoulders and looked around, I don't know what kind of place this is, it is definitely not an ancient tomb, it will not be an underground labyrinth, the tunnels around the cave are distributed in a radial pattern, I counted, a total of ten is no more and no less, the more we look at it, the more we feel that the layout of this cave is strange, there is a natural emerald stone screen like a stone wall in this cave, and there are many huge stones buried in the soil around the stone screen ground, the shape of the stone is different, the size is not the same, it is buried in a mess, and there is no mystery in it.

The fat man looked at it and said that it was marble? Didn't you say that there were women carved in stone? Why are they all carved into potatoes? I ignored the fat man's jokes, and I couldn't help but wonder in my heart, who is full of food and what is doing with so many big stones in the cave?

Just when I was secretly surprised, Ding Sitian couldn't suppress his curiosity, walked into the smooth stone wall with a gas lamp to watch, and found that there were many patterns engraved on the natural emerald stone screen, which seemed to be a stone tablet half buried in the soil, so he hurriedly beckoned me and the fat man to come close to watch.

There is no text on the huge smooth stone surface, but there are fine patterns engraved on both sides, which are slightly peeled and worn, and the original color of the picture is so dull that it is almost colorless, but it does not affect the ability to see the graphics on it, but the content of the table is too confusing to be true, I only looked at it a few times, and I felt that my breathing became heavy.

One of them is carved with an undulating hill, the middle basin is a dense forest, look at the terrain features, it seems to be the "Hundred Eyes Cave" where we are in this area, the hills are painted around a black dragon-shaped shadow, like a black old dragon with teeth and claws, is devouring the surrounding cattle, sheep, people and animals, thinking of those cattle and wild geese that disappeared out of thin air, we all know that the content of this stone carving is true, but the ancients who may have carved this picture, are also the same as us, only know that there are people and animals near the mysterious disappearance, but it is difficult to understand the secret, Thus a dragon-shaped shadow wandering in the sky was blurred.

We saw the disappearance of the wild goose array flying into the clouds on the grassland, and then we felt pain in the eardrums, if it weren't for the vigilance of the mount, now eighty percent was also swallowed by the dragon-shaped black shadow in this painting, but at that time, four people and eight eyes, obviously saw that the grassland was empty, and there was nothing unusual in the sky, why couldn't human eyes see it? What secret does this dragon shadow represent? Could it be the undead spirit of an ancient dragon? This mysterious hint left by the ancients is too difficult for future generations to figure out the truth.

The fat man didn't think that the ancient records on the stone wall had anything to look at, but after a few casual glances, he took out a crumpled inferior Xingong brand cigarette from his bosom, and sat down beside the old sheepskin to rest and smoke.

Ding Sitian's curiosity is more than mine, and when he saw the mysterious pattern on the wall, his heart was full of questions, so he asked me what I thought about it? When I was in junior high school, I remember a sensational incident in the suburbs of the city, there were mountain people digging a half-dead dragon when digging a well, and many people took knives to cut dragon meat, and there were rumors that it was okay to cut dragon meat, and it was okay to take it home and eat it, but the word "dragon" must not be mentioned when cutting, and the word "dragon" should not be mentioned when cutting, and the sky will immediately be clouded with thunder and lightning, who has mentioned that word, Whoever will be killed by lightning on the spot, and it is rumored that people who belong to the snake dragon can't go to watch, anyway, there are all kinds of things, and the truth was later confirmed, in fact, the so-called dragon is just a giant python hiding in a hole when the mountain people dig a well.

This boulder painted with the shape of a dragon, I don't know which dynasty and which generation in ancient times remains, it seems that the herdsmen on the grassland have a legend of a demon dragon devouring people and animals near the Hundred Eyes Cave, it is by no means groundless, I just think it is likely to be a rare meteorological phenomenon, it seems that it was not understood by the world at that time, but what kind of power can turn the living soul into nothing without a shadow and invisible? With me and Ding Sitian, where can we understand the mystery in detail, and analyze a few sentences randomly, but I can't get the gist of it, so I have to do it.

Ding Sitian turned to the other side of the stone wall, to see the stone carvings on that side, I was more and more suspicious in my heart, did not immediately go to see the stone paintings with her, but asked the fat man for a cigarette, this new brand paper cigarettes, or we used the set of "Huang Xiangu" in exchange, the quality of the cigarette is very poor, and the strength is also big, very choking, so we are reluctant to smoke directly, mixed half of the dried leaves in the tobacco, rubbed a cigarette into two, and felt fascinated when I smoked it, like falling into the fog for five miles.

I took two puffs of cigarette and felt that my brain was much better, so I walked to Ding Sitian's side and went with her to see the patterns carved on the boulder, hoping that there would be some useful content here, but just stood still, I only glanced at the stone wall, and the "mixed" cigarette in my hand almost fell to the ground, and this end was actually painted "Huang Xiangu"!
