"We've been tossing around here for a long time, where are those guys?" Ah Sheng asked suddenly, but no one spoke, because no one could know about this question.

I thought for a while and said, "Those people were taken away by the old eel, and the old eel in Shimen here should know that they can't open it at all, even if they bring it here, it's to make trouble for himself, and if he can't open the stone gate, he won't have any good fruit to eat." So I guess he's supposed to take those people somewhere else, and maybe he's looking for a way to get out. ”

Everyone agreed with me, but Ansari said, "There is another possibility, that is, the other party is waiting to take advantage of the fisherman." ”

Lao Pan frowned and said: "Yes, you can't be careless now, Da Kui, you and Zhang Ye are guarding the stone gate, be careful not to think nonsense, let alone look at those stone pillars, understand?" ”

The two of them www.biquge.info took out their guns and went to the stone gate to guard, while a few of us jumped onto the altar, and Dongzi looked at us blankly, and stammered, "I, what am I doing?" ”

Lao Pan said without replying: "You just think about it there, what are the reasons for those people, what motives they have, what traces have been revealed along the way, and what secrets do the old fish have, and tell us after you think about it." ”

Dong Zileng frowned and stopped talking, Lao Pan took a shovel from Ah Sheng's hand, and began to scrape the stone slab.

The stains on it, or blood stains, were not very thick, and Lao Pan's hands were forceful, and he quickly scraped off a large patch, revealing the dark lines and patterns underneath.

We all got up and saw that the dark lines were not the same as those on the stone pillars, and the lines were all connected to each other, not a single symbol, but more like a whole pattern.

The area of this stone slab is not small, almost able to sit on a person, the place where Lao Pan scraped out is just a corner, as soon as we saw this situation, we suddenly came to the spirit, the shovel is not enough, so we use the dagger in our hands to scrape.

But Ansari never moved, standing there like the boss overseer, watching us work intently, and it took me and Lao Pan and Ah Sheng half a day to clean up the blood and dirt accumulated on the stone slab, and finally revealed most of the patterns below, and the original appearance of the stone slab.

The patterns were indeed connected, and the lines on the stone slab looked like the shape of a bird, and there were many feather-like patterns around it, which were connected to the bird.

Lao Pan raised his head, there was already a slight sweat on his forehead, and said to Ansari: "Little brother, you come to recognize what this is." ”

Ansari's gaze was already fixed on the stone slab, and he said, "If I'm not mistaken, this should be a totem of Haidongqing." ”

Hai Dongqing? I do know this thing, it is the highest and fastest flying bird in Manchurian mythology, legend has it that every 100,000 condor only produces a Hai Dongqing, resolute and fierce temperament, handsome and extraordinary, is the highest totem of Manchuria. It represents the spirit of bravery, wisdom, perseverance, integrity, strength, enterprising, and never giving up.

There is a record in the Compendium of Materia Medica: carved out of Liaodong, the most handsome is called Haidongqing.

It is not surprising that this totem divine bird appears on the altar of this sacrifice to the Immortal Heaven, but what does this mean?

There were still some parts of the slate that had not been scratched, and in order to see the whole picture under the slate, the three of us continued to work hard, and after a few more moments, the whole slate was finally restored to its original state, and all the patterns were presented in front of us.

This is indeed the pattern of a huge sacred bird, carved on the stone slab, in addition, there are many ancient symbols on the outer edge of the stone slab, arranged in a circle around the pattern of the sea east green.

"What is this?" I asked, and this time Ansari shook his head as well, and said, "I only know a few simple Manchu scripts, and I don't recognize this either, but it looks like some kind of special sacrificial symbol, like those of the stone pillars." ”

"It's the same as if you didn't say it......," I said speechlessly, "the stone pillar just now represents the soul, represents the power, these ......"

Ah Sheng suddenly said, "I seem to be able to guess what these symbols mean." ”

"What, you know?" I asked, Ah Sheng shook his head: "I don't know, but you see ......"

He stretched out his hand and pointed to the circle of symbols on the stone tablet and said, "If you don't look at this pattern that looks like a bird, don't you think that it looks like the twelve earthly branches?" ”

I frowned, and carefully looked at the distribution of those symbols, it was really twelve symbols, and they were almost arranged according to the orientation of the twelve earthly branches, forming a group of figures, and in the middle was the pattern of the sea Dongqing.

"Since this is a place to worship the Immortal Heavens, it is not surprising that there are twelve earthly branches, but this is ......"

Lao Pan stretched out his hand, gently groped a few times on the pattern of Hai Dongqing, and suddenly pointed to one and said, "Look, there seems to be a problem here." ”

I hurriedly followed his fingers, and saw that in the center of the stone slab, that is, on the bird's chest, there was a slightly raised button, but the stone slab was dark and dim, and the button was connected to the surrounding pattern, and if you did not pay attention to it, you would not notice it at all.

"Is this where the hub of the mechanism is?" I wondered, and at the same time thought to myself, what would happen if I pressed this knob, whether the stone door would be closed, or if somewhere here would be opened, and what unknown situation would arise at that time?

"If it's a hub or not, just click on it." Ansari said suddenly, leaning down and gesturing with his fingers, as if about to press down.

But this is obviously too reckless, I was slightly stunned, this is not a bit like Ansari's calm temperament, hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him, and said: "Don't be reckless, let's still ......"

Before I finished speaking, Dongzi under the altar suddenly shouted coldly: "I, I remembered, those people said that they wanted to find something on the body of the great shaman......

As soon as he said this, several of us turned around at the same time, and Lao Pan asked in a low voice, "What are they looking for?" ”

"Well, they didn't say that, I was overhearing what they said......"

A few of us glanced at each other, and Ansari also stopped, his gaze suddenly became sharp, and asked, "Did they say anything more detailed?" ”

Dongzi shook his head: "Then no, they usually talk behind my back, I, I don't know anything, if you find my uncle, he may know more." ”

We didn't talk anymore, and after a moment of silence, I said to Lao Pan, "If we ...... at that time"

He seemed to know what I was going to say, and interrupted me and said, "Forget it, in your uncle's letter, he just asked us to find the old fish for help, and explained that it was up to him whether he went or not." But to be honest, I didn't expect to encounter this situation, maybe it's fate. ”

Yes, I couldn't help but shake my head secretly, with some emotion in my heart, this seems to be really a fateful arrangement in the dark, it should come, sooner or later, no matter how I deliberately avoid it, but I will never be able to run away.

It's just that Fuyuko's words give us a hint: find something on the body of the great shaman. Although this sentence is simple, it contains a lot of information, first of all, who is that great shaman, where is it, what is so important, and will Uncle Lu Feng's purpose be the same as those people?

Also, what does it do when you get it?

"Those who should come will always come, and since they are already here, what are you afraid of?" Ansari suddenly twitched the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a hint of a smile, and then moved his fingers slightly, and pressed the button on the stone slab without hesitation.

I tried to stop it, but it was too late, and I saw that the button was already slightly recessed, and at the same time, a faint but somewhat obscure sound came from the stone slab.

My eyes widened as I saw a small area in the middle of the slab suddenly bulge, revealing a small disc with a distinct notch on the side of the disk.

We all got up and took a step back, staring at the disk, but after a while, there was no other movement, and the disk did not change.

"What kind of mechanism is this?" I looked up in surprise.
