Chapter 20: The Girl Child

After listening to this, Tofu gave a thumbs up and said, "Okay, you're an expert." Just see a chair, and you will come up with a set of theories about the death of the country. As he spoke, Tofu looked at Zhen Rui and said, "You said that this place has been ransacked, can we find a way to relieve the snort?" ”

Zhen Rui didn't speak, and Tofu thought that Zhen Rui's self-confidence had been hit, so he comforted: "It's okay, I want to open a little." You said that the Whistling Duo has been on your back for so many years, and you haven't seen anything happen, aren't you alive and moisturizing, even if you find a solution, it doesn't matter, at best, it's just a nightmare every night, and it's just a habit to get used to. ”

"Shut up." He spat out these two words lukewarmly, then moved the searchlight and gestured to us to move separately. The mask of this large hall was large, and everyone scattered in all directions to look for clues.

I saw that the surrounding walls were covered with a lot of reliefs, with the marks of the sun, the images of birds and beasts, and the images of people.

Suddenly, one of the scenes in the relief caught my attention, a man with a sword in his hand and a bird's crown on his head, male or female, standing in front of a dark hole, behind him was a huge totem pole, outside the totem pole kneeling a black pressed person, as if performing some kind of ritual.

And the next moment, the relief showed an astonishing scene, for the man with the sword in his hand leaped violently into the black hole. At the same time, there are a lot of wavy lines on the relief, which are twisted and curved, as if the whole picture is about to be torn apart.

I was confused, and my heart said that this person with a sword and a bird crown was not low at first glance, why did he jump into that big black hole? What does that black hole represent? As I was pondering, a voice suddenly came from behind me, saying, "This is like some kind of sacrifice." I turned my head and saw that it was Zhang Wen wearing glasses, and at some point, he stood behind me quietly.

I was about to open my mouth when I heard Tofu shouting, "There's a way here, come here." ”

Zhang Wen and I glanced at each other, didn't say anything more, and walked towards the location of the tofu. It was located in the southwest corner, it was an arched passage, about three meters high and about two meters wide, the entrance of the passage was carved with the same strange beast shape, and at the top of the arched passage, there was a black stone sculpture squatting.

This thing is pitch black, with a face like a fox, but it is more slender than a fox, and it looks very strange, squatting at the top, as if it is probing the people coming and going in the passage, it looks very strange. When Zhen Rui saw this thing, his face became unsightly, probably because he remembered some bad memories.

The gas masks we use are portable, simple masks that only cover the nose and mouth, so the faces of the people are clearly visible. Zhen Rui stared at the black Woo Duo for a moment, then remained silent, loaded the gun, and walked ahead first.

The crowd followed closely, and the stone walls on both sides of the passage were distributed with stone lampholders, which were shaped like an eagle's head, which appeared vivid. This passage is not long, behind the passage is a circular hall, there is also nothing, only directly opposite the position against the wall, there is a brown stone case, the stone case was estimated to be placed something, there is a circular intaglio, but the things on it are gone, it is estimated that it has been robbed.

At this moment, the searchlight in my hand moved slightly, and when I went up, I suddenly saw a round object hanging from the low treasure top above my head. When the light shines on, the thing reflects fluorescence, and the know-it-all says, "It looks like a fluorescent stone." ”

The fluorescent stone is obviously artificially made into this shape, but the strange thing is that the inside of the fluorescent stone is obviously hollowed out, leaving only a thin layer, and the inside of the thin fluorescent stone reflects a black shadow, at first glance, like a child.

Somehow, I thought of what Batu had said, the big-mouthed fanged kid behind the totem pole in the water. Batu didn't come down with us, and we were worried that something might happen, and we were even more worried about causing him to be affected, so we asked him to stay outside, guarding tents and other equipment that we didn't need for the time being.

Tofu was shocked for a moment and said, "Why is there a child in this big stone?" ”

Zhen Rui gave Zhong Gong a color, Zhong Gong understood, looked left and right, and aimed the gun at the fluorescent stone ball and shot. Hearing the sound of a gunshot, the slender balance of the fluorescent stone was broken, and it immediately shattered into several large fragments, along with the figures inside, and smashed to the ground.

Everyone took a closer look, and sure enough, it was a child corpse. The clothes on the corpse were still faintly visible, and the body of the child, about eight or nine years old, was the body of a girl, with no external injuries, as if it had died suddenly. In addition to this, I noticed that the girl also wore a pure gold collar around her neck, and some jewels and animal teeth were worn on the collar, and a sign fell underneath. I fiddled with the sign with my dagger and noticed that there were some symbols on it. I am no stranger to this kind of distorted symbol, it should also be the shaman's 'divine language', and what Yuan Rui has been looking for is also the divine language that deciphers Huyinduo.

I looked at this sign and felt that this trip to Yao Fang might have a big harvest.

Ouyang Xuan didn't talk much after being disfigured, and was a little frightened at this time, and said, "Why do you put the child in this big ball?" It's horrible. ”

Zhang Wen looked thoughtful, he knew more about the culture of the other country than we did, and seemed to think of something, staring at the neck of the girl's corpse, and said: "The things she carries around her neck have an eagle's beak and wolf teeth, and the collar is pure gold, decorated with pearls and jade, this kind of treatment is very high, so this little girl's status must be very high during her lifetime." ”

Tofu scratched his head and said, "The status is very high, how high?" ”

Zhang Wendao: "I have two guesses, first: she may be a princess, or maybe this stone ball is some kind of burial custom of Yao Fang, after all, Yao Fang is an ancient country that has not been recorded, and we don't know anything about their burial customs." Maybe something happened later, not waiting for the princess to be buried. Yao Fang perished. ”

Tofu retorted: "It's only been a few days since the next burial, and there is no time to even bury it, could it be that Yao Fang perished in a very short period of time?" That's. ”

Zhang Wen shook his head and said, "This is just a speculation. ”

I said, "What about the second possibility?" ”

Zhang Wen muttered: "The second possibility, perhaps closer to the truth, is that this is an unfinished sacrifice, this girl has a jade plaque engraved with the word of the gods, and the collar is decorated with an eagle's beak, which is a symbol of divine power, and she is likely to be the product of Yao Fang's sacrifice." ”

Tofu showed sympathy and said, "No matter what the reason is, at such a young age, I am sorry to die so miserably." Amitabha, little friend, I hope you have attained bliss. "The girl's corpse was so old that it had fallen into a twisted position as it fell. Tofu had the audacity to straighten her, because there was only a layer of greasy black skin and bones, so it looked very small, estimated to be less than ten catties.

Tofu said: "Lao Chen, it's better to cremate her, she has been locked in that stone ball for more than 2,000 years, it's too pitiful." ”

I said, "Burn it." "The corpse was covered with corpse oil, and a small flame did not ignite much, a small flame, indicating a life that died more than 2,000 years ago. For a time, this lost ancient country became even more mysterious.

I was staring at the flames, and suddenly, Zhen Rui suddenly said, "Who! Then he suddenly chased him out. The direction he was running was an arched passageway, which was supposed to have a door, but now all that was left was some rotten wood and dregs.

This sound startled us.

Is there anyone else?

Immediately afterwards, he also rushed in with Zhen Rui.

Behind the door is a square space, and the surrounding walls are different from the brown walls seen before, but pitch black, as if the space is covered with a layer of gray, giving people a hazy and obscure feeling.

Zhen Rui stood in place, his expression vigilantly sweeping every corner, as if looking for something.

I walked up to him and lowered my voice, "What's that?" ”

Zhen Rui pursed his lips and said, "I saw a figure, but when I chased in, he was gone." ”

Ouyang Xuan said nervously: "How can there be people in this, this place, is it ...... Ghost? "The crowd was silent, and in fact I don't believe there is anyone living in this place besides us. At this time, Tofu said, "No, are you dazzled?" ”

Zhen Rui ignored him, and Tofu was used to being ignored, but now that he was followed by a corpse fairy, he was really bold, and then he carried a searchlight and walked around the corners of this place, but still found nothing. Tofu couldn't help but turn his head and ask Zhen Rui, "What does the figure you see look like?" Male or female? Old and young? ”

Zhen Rui pursed his lips, his eyes suddenly became weird, and he said faintly: "Less, like a child......"

"Hiss......" I gasped and jerked back to look at the round hall. In the center, the flame of the cremated girl will not be extinguished, burning faintly in the dead silence.

Children?

Is Zhen Rui dazzled, or is it ...... It's the ghost of the girl......
