Chapter Forty-Nine: The Tomb Beast

Inside the gate was a hall, empty, with four wooden pillars, and in front of it was a desk, which may have originally held something, but now it was empty, and there was nothing in the hall except for a bonfire in the center, which was blazing.

Several equipment bags can also be seen next to the campfire, two of which also have two shotguns scattered across them.

Obviously, not long ago, these people were sitting around the fire, and since they had never gone out, they must still be in the interior of the ancient mansion. The eyes of the three of us couldn't help but look at an arch in front of us on the left. There was no door in that place, it was pitch black, it should lead to the back hall or some other place, and it was the only way out of the whole hall, and those poachers must have entered it, but they didn't know what happened in the back, and they would let out such a scream.

Gu Wenmin turned on the flashlight and was about to head towards the arch, I stopped her and said, "Don't worry. This ancient house is abandoned for many years, and it is inevitable that some snakes, insects, rats and ants will live in, so we still have some open fire insurance. There are also shotguns here, so you can take them with you for self-defense. ”

Gu Wenmin was probably a little anxious, but he also quieted down when I said this, and said, "It's still thoughtful." As he spoke, he drew a torch. I pulled the two shotguns out of my bag, picked them up and looked, good guys, they were semi-automatic shotguns, which could be loaded and unshelled automatically.

I didn't only resell Heizhen, I saw the kind of old-fashioned shotgun filled with gunpowder, it was very troublesome to use, it was a shot on the chamber, and it was easy to misfire, the cost of this semi-automatic was a little higher, and the lethality was relatively large, although I didn't use it, but after pondering for a while, I also figured out the method, while guiding the method of using the gun for tofu, and packed it up, the three of them held the torch and walked into the arch behind.

The orange torch gradually illuminates the darkness, and as the field of vision widens, the situation behind it also unfolds in front of our eyes, and when it comes in, we have all made many guesses in our hearts, but suddenly we can't help but be stunned when we see the strange situation in front of us.

There is no hall as I imagined, no snakes, insects, rats and ants, and there are no other living objects in the whole space except for the pillars used for support, and the rest is a huge pile of dense stones, and we feel as if we are trapped in a giant Stonehenge in an instant.

Then the firelight can be seen, the stone has all begun to turn blue, the original color should be grayish, about the perennial erosion of the earth's atmosphere, the color of the stone is different, combined together, forming a variety of strange scenes, and some, like a human face attached to the stone, at first glance, people feel very uncomfortable.

Tofu gasped and said, "Why are there all rocks here?" ”

Gu Wenmin reached out and stroked the nearest boulder, frowned slightly, and said softly: "You see, most of these stones are processed into rectangular shapes, as if they are used to carve something. ”

When she said this, it reminded me of the strange stone statue at the foot of the mountain, and I thought, "Could it be that the source of that statue is here?" Who is it that hoards so many stones here? What's the use of carving something weird? Thinking about this, I couldn't help but start paying attention to the shape of the stone statues around me. Some of them are still complete square stones, while others have already been processed, but most of them are unfinished pieces, so it is difficult to tell what they are.

At this moment, I found something exactly like the stone statue at the foot of the mountain, and I couldn't help but get closer and take a closer look, and the familiarity was still there, but I could never remember it.

At this moment, as we entered, the original singing voice gradually disappeared, and the place where we were was was full of huge stones at a glance, and there were no poachers at all, and even more, I found an extremely strange thing, and asked Gu Wenmin: "The prey they hunted at that time was also brought in here, right?" ”

Gu Wenmin nodded immediately, she was very smart, and immediately understood the meaning of my question, and exclaimed: "Yes, there are still living animals in them, and they have all been brought in, but where did those things go?" ”

If people are in any danger, or have some accidents, we can't see them, this can be said to be in the past, but where did the dead prey go?

Tofu also analyzed: "If I were them, for the sake of safety, I would definitely pile up the prey nearby, such as in the corner of the hall outside." ”

Gu Wenmin also nodded. But I thought differently and said, "If it were me, I wouldn't do that." ”

"Why?" She asked curiously.

"You want to. Would you like to sleep in a dead animal, with a bloody smell and a foul smell on the body of the wild animal? There are also living creatures, and when they are tied up, they will surely scream or flutter, and they will disturb the restful sleep. If it were me, I would have slept in the hall, and I would have thrown those things, in this current place, and isolated them. ”

After I finished speaking, Tofu and Gu Wenmin both felt that it made sense, but there was nothing in this place, not to mention the sound of animals, and they couldn't even smell the smell of blood, and the only breath was the damp and musty smell of the old and rotten old house.

Where did those animals go? And where are the poachers?

If they weren't in this stone room now, would they have gone somewhere else? When we watched the tide outside, we could find that the area of the ancient house was very large, so it was impossible to have only the hall and the stone house, and there should be a road to other places, but it was blocked by huge stones, so we had to look for it.

At this moment, Gu Wenmin was next to me, and she seemed to suddenly notice the human-faced stone statue behind me, and suddenly sighed, and her expression suddenly became strange. As soon as I saw her expression, I knew something was wrong, and I couldn't help but ask, "This stone statue is weird enough, do you recognize it?" ”

Gu Wenmin narrowed his eyes and asked rhetorically, "Don't you know this kind of thing?" ”

Tofu said: "This kind of thing, at first glance, is related to feudal superstition, we are good young people who have received modern education, we have never touched these things, I don't know anything strange." Gu Da Beauty, if you know, just say it quickly, don't hang my appetite. ”

Gu Wenmin also understood Tofu's character, shook his head, and said softly: "This thing is really unknown to ordinary people. It is a grave beast. ”

Tomb Beast?

The tofu opened its mouth wide and couldn't close it for a long time.

I only think it's strange, I naturally know about this tomb beast, but I've only heard of the two-headed deer shaking tomb beast, and I've never heard of a tomb beast with a human face.

When Gu Wenmin heard this, he said: "You don't understand, the shape of the tomb beast is strange, among which the two-headed deer shaking the tomb beast is more commonly used in the Warring States Period; In addition, there are also square phases, dragon faces, and toothed turtles, which are not very numerous, but there are also human-faced beasts, but the amount of excavations is very rare, and there is a very bizarre coincidence about the human-faced tomb beasts. ”

Tofu listened with great interest, and asked what kind of coincidence it was, Gu Wenmin pointed to the human-faced beast body and said to the tomb beast: "Do you have a familiar feeling when you see it?" β€œ

I was immediately shocked, vigilant, and said, "How do you know? ”

Gu Wenmin said: "This kind of tomb beast, only one has been unearthed so far, and a test has been done for it, and in the test results, seventy percent of people will have a sense of familiarity when they see it." ”

I just think that Gu Wenmin's words are like a fantasy, something that has never been seen before, why do so many people have a sense of familiarity with it? Is this woman fooling people?

The strangest thing is that I am a tomb robber who digs mushrooms, this rare tomb beast, I haven't recognized it yet, how did she recognize it?

If I just paid attention to her at the beginning, now I am convinced that Gu Wenmin has a problem. Her purpose is by no means as simple as photography, and even photography is likely to be just a faΓ§ade. Since she doesn't want to show it now, I naturally won't ask more, after all, we originally met in Pingshui, and she didn't harm us along the way, as long as her purpose is not a threat to me and Tofu, I don't have to pay attention to it, I don't know.

I didn't ask, but Tofu has always had little roots, and immediately said: "Amazing, Gu Da Beauty, you are a photographer, and you have research on these things." So tell me, how did this familiarity come about? ”

Gu Wenmin stretched out two fingers and said, "This sense of familiarity can be combined into two kinds. The first is innate, and the second you should know that in Egypt there was a famous sphinx called the Sphinx, don't you think, the two are very similar in shape? ”

Sphinx statue, of course I know, after Gu Wenmin's reminder, Tofu and I couldn't help but suddenly realize, no wonder it always feels familiar, because it is indeed somewhat similar to the Sphinx statue.

But what about what she said, innately feeling?
