"What, trouble?"

He Xiaochen's words puzzled us, and after I subconsciously asked her, I looked at the jade block, thinking that she had already seen something strange on the jade block?

He Xiaochen glanced at us, but asked rhetorically, "What do you think will be the origin of this stone man's arm?" ”

Naturally, I shook my head and said, "The ghost knows what it is, it's a stone statue anyway." ”

Zhang Ye didn't say anything, he clasped his hands on his shoulders and looked at us coldly, but He Xiaochen smiled at me and said, "Let me remind you that it's best not to put ghost words on your lips here." ”

"Uh" I was speechless for a while, Lao Zhong thought for a while, and said on the side: "I have heard a long time ago, there is a cave of Guixian on this mountain, there is a Buddha statue in it, presumably, this is the arm of the Buddha statue, and then the cave collapsed, the Buddha statue broke, probably that's it." ”

"No, you guessed it wrong, it's not the arm of the Buddha statue at all." He Xiaochen pointed to the stone man's arm and said: "The carving style of the Buddha statue is generally peaceful, and the lines will not be so abrupt, you see this arm, as well as the fingers, the muscle lines on it, and the protruding knuckles, the style is very rough, even hideous, I dare to say, this stone man's deity is definitely not a Buddha statue, nor is it an ordinary stone statue." ”

Zhang Ye said: "What's strange about that, this is Artemisia Mountain, at the foot of Mount Tai, and there was a shrine to the Yama Palace in the past, even if it is a statue of the ghost judge, it is normal, right?" ”

His tone was very polite, but He Xiaochen didn't care, but laughed, pointed to the arm and said to Zhang Ye: "If you think it's normal, you can put your hand here, and you'll know what's wrong." ”

Zhang Yehu glanced at her suspiciously, stretched out his hand to ride up, but after only two or three seconds, he immediately withdrew his hand and came back, his reaction was as if he had been shocked, and his face showed a look of surprise.

Seeing this, I was curious, and I also put my hand in the position He Xiaochen pointed to, and after waiting for a while, I suddenly felt a slight beating sensation from my fingers.

One, two

It beats slowly and rhythmically, like a human heartbeat!

I was taken aback, and hurriedly withdrew my hand, only then did I understand why Zhang Ye reacted like that just now, this stone man's arm actually had a beating pulse?!

"What's going on?" I was surprised, Lao Zhong saw our reaction, and also went up to touch it, and immediately let out a low cry, his face also changed, and like us, he looked at He Xiaochen together.

He Xiaochen didn't answer us, he took off the camera unhurriedly and fiddled with it, I was wondering what she was doing, He Xiaochen handed the camera to us, we went up to take a look, and saw that she had pulled up a photo.

The background of this photo is very dim, similar to the background of the photo of the giant tripod that Lao Pan showed me last time, there is a tall statue in the middle of the photo, with an ugly appearance, a fierce god, and it seems to be holding some weapon in his hand, but it is not clear to see.

I still wanted to take a closer look, but He Xiaochen had already put the camera back, and I wondered, "What is this?" ”

He Xiaochen glanced at us and said: "I won't tell you, in fact, I came to Mount Tai this time, just for this, last night, I didn't go to see the sunrise, but first went to the East Royal Road, went to Mount Tai and then came to this Artemisia Mountain, just met you." ”

"What are you doing in the mountains behind Mount Tai?" I asked suspiciously, but she didn't answer me, shook the camera in her hand and said, "What you saw just now, guess what it looks like?" ”

Zhang Ye naturally wouldn't guess this kind of question, with his temperament, it would be good not to roll his eyes, but it could be seen from his eyes that he was also curious about He Xiaochen.

He Xiaochen's question also aroused my thinking, she naturally would not show us a photo for no reason, I thought about the statue in the photo, and then looked at the stone man arm on the ground, before he could speak, Lao Zhong had already said: "Do you mean to say that this stone man arm is the one on the statue in that photo?" ”

As soon as he said this, something suddenly flashed through my mind, and blurted out: "I also remembered, the appearance of that statue, do you think it looks like the big ghost that Xu Laogen saw in his nightmare in the middle of the night?" ”

Zhang Ye and Lao Zhong looked at me together, with puzzled expressions, He Xiaochen asked me, "What big ghost?" ”

She didn't go with us to find Xu Laogen, so naturally she didn't understand the situation, so I briefly talked about the fact that we went to Professor Chen and Xu Laogen's house before, and the reason why we came here to find the jade block.

He Xiaochen shook his head and said: "Unless we let Xu Laogen see it with his own eyes, we can't be sure whether it is or not, but one thing is for sure, this stone man's arm is definitely related to the statue in the photo." ”

"Where did the statue take its shot?" Zhang Ye finally spoke, He Xiaochen's face became solemn, and he said to us: "My master once told me that he took this photo in the underground palace of Mount Tai, but I don't know where it is. ”

Tarzan Underground Palace? Photo?

I suddenly felt that something was wrong, but I couldn't remember it for a while, and frowned: "Then you say, we want to take out this jade now, what should we do?" ”

He Xiaochen shook his head and said, "If what Xu Laogen said is true, then if I don't take this jade piece away, aren't you afraid of encountering an accident like him again?" Besides, you look at the stone man's hand, hold this jade piece tightly, unless you take it away together, and then find a way to separate the stone man's fingers, but I don't guarantee that the consequences of doing so will be even stricter than that of Xu Laogen. ”

"Then you mean to ask Professor Chen to come to this mountain?" I asked tentatively, He Xiaochen smiled and said, "If he can't tell the origin of this thing, then what's the use of letting him go up the mountain?" ”

As soon as I thought about it, He Xiaochen had already squatted down, raised the camera, clicked and took a picture of the stone man's arm, and then took a picture of the cyan jade block, and finally flipped the camera over and took a selfie of himself and the stone man's arm.

A few of us were dumbfounded, I secretly thought to myself what is wrong with this person, selfie mania, even this selfie?

Zhang Ye frowned and said, "If you can't take it away for investigation, then what are we going to spend a long time trying to do?" What a big ghost, I'm not afraid, if there is really a yin, just arrest me first. ”

As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed the stone man's arm, and stuffed it into his backpack regardless of it, but the stone man's arm was very long, although it was only half a section, his backpack couldn't fit it, and a section was exposed. He didn't care so much, he lifted the backpack with all his strength, but he ignored He Xiaochen, turned around and was about to leave.

We didn't expect his sudden move, He Xiaochen stared at him in the back, stomped his feet and shouted, "Hey, you, you come back for me"

Zhang Ye ignored him, I looked at Lao Zhong and I at each other, and we were also stunned, and I saw He Xiaochen chasing after him in a few steps, stopping in front of Zhang Ye, and hurriedly said: "You can't go, I, what I said is true"

Zhang Ye rolled his eyelids and said, "I didn't tell you anything fake, I have been with Pan Ye for more than ten years, and I haven't seen anything, so I don't believe that this broken stone can help me." ”

He had long seen He Xiaochen unpleasant along the way, especially He Xiaochen said goodbye last night, although he didn't say anything, I could also see that he was also anxious.

But He Xiaochen suddenly appeared just now, but he didn't apologize at all for last night's incident, and pointed at this and that, presumably Zhang Ye was on fire in his heart, so he didn't believe in this evil.

He bypassed He Xiaochen and had to go down the mountain, and we also chased after him, but we didn't know for a while whether to go down the mountain with him, or listen to He Xiaochen's persuasion Zhang Ye not to do anything, this guy is a donkey temper, and he can turn his face if he doesn't say it well.

But I saw that He Xiaochen's face was sweating with anxiety, his face was flushed, and he went to chase Zhang Ye again, and he was suspicious in his heart, and secretly thought, is this Artemisia Mountain really like He Xiaochen said, so evil?

However, no matter what, the beating pulse of the stone man's arm just now was real, I thought of this and called out to Zhang Ye, but he didn't listen, I was also anxious, and blurted out: "Have you forgotten that Pan Ye asked you to listen to me here?" ”

This work well, he stood down, looked back at me, I walked over and said: "Pan Ye is not here now, we can't afford to be reckless, in case this thing is really weird, it will still cause trouble for Pan Ye when I turn around, anyway, it's still too late for time now, it's better for everyone to discuss it and let's do it, it's not too late to decide, you are so angry and leave, if Professor Chen can't identify it, you will carry it back?" That's not interesting. ”

I don't know if Zhang Ye really listened to me, or if he felt that if he turned around and carried it back, it would be quite faceless, so he stopped, looked at He Xiaochen and said, "If you have any ideas, just say it quickly, don't talk so much nonsense." ”

He Xiaochen stood there with his hands on his hips, and said with an unconvinced look: "I don't have an idea now, but I have a way to convince you that there is really an evil sect here, do you believe it or not?" ”

"How?" Zhang Ye frowned, He Xiaochen stretched out his hand and pointed to Mount Tai behind him, and said, "Tonight, if you have the guts, follow me last time Mount Tai, and I will open your eyes." ”

"Climb Tarzan? What kind of ability is that" Zhang Ye's tense face suddenly relaxed, and he couldn't help laughing, and I couldn't help but laugh dumbly, that's it, go to Mount Tai, do you still have to test your guts?

"Hmph, I'm talking about going to Mount Tai, it's not as easy as you think, if you want to try, come with me tonight." He Xiaochen narrowed his eyes and said with a smug face.

I looked at her confident appearance, and couldn't help but wonder, what is the origin of this little girl, she wants to take us to Mount Tai in the middle of the night, what is there to open her eyes?
