By the time the tent was set up, the sun had set. In just one day, we experienced so many unbelievable things, which were not only weird, but also thrilling. At this point, we can sit quietly and reflect on what happened today.
"Cousin, what's the matter with that strange fish? It's amazing that you managed to get us out of the way through that strange fish. "The question that Hongmei asked is a question in the minds of all of us.
My cousin smiled and said, "Actually, in the final analysis, this is the credit of the monkey eagle, if it wasn't for the monkey eagle to get that strange fish up, I wouldn't have been able to escape in this way." It's a long story, this strange fish, called the 'duck leg fish', as you have all seen, has four duck-like legs.
This strange fish only lives in the dark river deep in the mountains, and it makes a cry like a wooden fish, and everyone hears it. The appearance of this fish is very strange, but what is even stranger is the sound made by this fish - this sound has a strong penetrating power, according to the relevant historical records, this kind of call of the strange fish can spread ten miles away in the mountain full of stones, which is very unimaginable, because for the general sound, two or three meters thick stones, can be completely blocked.
And the cry of this strange fish can be transmitted ten miles away in the stone, that is, five thousand meters away, it is really incredible. The reason why it has such a strong penetrating power is that the frequency of its call is very special and it can resonate strongly with the stone.
Not only that, this strange fish has a long lifespan, each of these duck leg fish, can live for hundreds of years, its life span is probably only comparable to turtles, but unlike turtles, this fish is swarm, and the density of this fish is still very large.
In addition, this fish has the strange property of not making a call when they are in the water, but only when they are out of the water, and as soon as one of them makes a call, the others immediately follow - even if they are still in the water.
It is by using these characteristics of duck-legged fish that the Bashu Wu family specially designed a secret door in the excavated mausoleum, which is stimulated by the cry of the duck-legged fish, and this secret door is used for escape. "It's strange, why do you need to leave a way to escape when you build a mausoleum? Why is that? The female translator asked puzzled, although she is Japanese, but she has a deep understanding of Chinese culture, not only does she not understand, we are also very puzzled by this, yes, why do we have to leave an escape channel when building a mausoleum?
Before his cousin could answer, Professor Shan smiled and said, "This is actually very simple, because when building a mausoleum for the emperor and general, the emperor and the general will often kill the craftsmen who built it in order to keep it secret, so experienced craftsmen will leave a way for themselves to escape, just in case."
The most common way to kill the construction craftsmen is to seal the exit of the tomb and bury the craftsmen alive in it, the Bashu Wu family as a family of building the mausoleum, it is impossible not to know this, therefore, they reserved this extremely wonderful escape channel, you should have noticed that the hole we escaped from is not only narrow, but also very rough, and the luxurious and meticulous overall mausoleum architectural style, is very different.
Because at that time, the Bashu Wu family built an escape passage privately. ”
In response to Professor Shan's explanation, the cousin smiled and nodded, adding: "Professor Shan is right, it is indeed the case, when they build this kind of tomb, they often use the existing cave outside, and then open up the tomb, this kind of escape tomb opening method, only they know, others can never crack it."
Now that we have seen these ingenious and weird designs in the cave, we should know how powerful the Bashu Wu family is. ”
"But there's one thing I've never figured out - was the monkey eagle catching that strange fish intentionally, or unintentionally? How did it come to think that it would suddenly burrow into that round hole and catch the strange fish? Professor Shan looked at the monkey eagle and asked with a frown.
"It may be that the monkey eagle smelled the fishy smell in the round hole, so it went down and caught one casually, but I didn't expect it to save all of us in this move."
Regarding Xiao Lei's speculation, my cousin nodded noncommittally, and then shook his head and said: "It may be the situation that Xiao Lei said, but for some reason, I think there should be another reason, but as for what the reason, I can't say." ”
The sun had completely set, and the twilight was getting heavier and heavier, and I lay on the ground outside the tent, staring at the sunset in the west, and was in a daze, when suddenly I saw a big bird suddenly flying from afar, and quickly circling down—I knew that it was the monkey eagle that had sent the message.
In order not to worry Mr. Chen, Old Man Yuan and Old Man Ouyang, everyone wrote a note, briefly introduced the situation on our side, and then tied it to the monkey eagle's leg and asked it to be sent to Mr. Chen and the three of them at the entrance of the cave.
When the monkey eagle flew back, he also brought Mr. Chen's letter, which said that the three of them already knew about our situation, and told us to take care of ourselves and rush back as soon as possible tomorrow, while everything was normal with them. After reading the letter, everyone was relieved.
As for their safety, we are also relatively relieved, because we have seen the strange bird in Old Man Yuan's house, the "Phoenix Empress", and the lethality and wisdom of that strange bird are not under the monkey eagle, so even if we are not there, Gao Blind, Zhang Liangchen, and those Japanese do not dare to attack the few of them who stay at home.
And we have monkey eagles here, everyone is also very steady, I after this day of tossing, from the mental to the body, I feel very tired, so I fell asleep in a daze.
I don't know how long I slept, but suddenly, I was awakened by a muffled bang, and I could even feel the ground trembling slightly, which made me feel a little frightened, what happened?
And my cousin said very calmly: "The roof of the cave where we are really collapsed, this is the sound of collapse." ”
I could tell the direction of the tremors -- sure enough, the direction of the cave. I felt a terrible fear that if we were really trapped there, we would be smashed into a puddle of flesh and buried in it forever.
"Xiao Ming, have you noticed it, every ten minutes or so, the monkey eagle will look at the creek next to it, and after watching the creek, it will fly to the branch and look in the direction of the hole we escaped from, so repeatedly, all the time, what's going on?"
The female translator whispered in my ear, the breeze blew her long hair, a few hairs touched my face, it tickled me, there was a special fragrance on her body, which made my heart beat a little faster, since I had a passion with the female translator in the hotel, I had a special feeling for her.
Of all of us, she was of course the most closely related to me, so she was the first to tell me about this discovery.
"Really? I really didn't notice. After the female translator said this, I also carefully observed the monkey eagle, and sure enough, as the female translator said, the monkey eagle turned back and forth on the tree and the stream, and the time for each return was about ten minutes.
"Really, what's going on? Could it be that the monkey eagle has found out something? I whispered to the female translator.
At this moment, I heard Sister Li, who was not far away, say a little angrily, "What are you two muttering?" Is there anything you can't say out loud? ”
The female translator blushed at what Sister Li said, and hurriedly told me what she had discovered, and my face also felt a little feverish, and she smiled at Sister Li embarrassedly, while Sister Li glared at me fiercely.
After listening to the words of the female translator, the cousin was taken aback, as if he had thought of something, and immediately watched the monkey eagle's every move with full attention, not only the cousin, but everyone looked at the monkey eagle at this time, and the monkey eagle still went back and forth by the stream and the tree every minute or so.
At this time, it was already dark, and the moon was slowly rising from the east. In the bright moonlight, the monkey eagle's every move is even more mysterious and incredible.
After looking at it for a while, my cousin suddenly said loudly: "It's not good, maybe we are facing unknowable dangers, this is the monkey eagle guarding us!" ”
Dangerous? We were taken aback, we had just escaped from danger, could there be any other danger here?
Just when we were puzzled, we saw the monkey eagle circle up violently, and then quickly descended into the stream, stretched out its claws, and grabbed into the stream, and suddenly we saw something, as if it had been caught by the monkey eagle out of the water.
As for what it was, I couldn't see it clearly in the moonlight.
I heard the thing make a sharp cry and struggle frantically, but the monkey eagle did not hesitate in the slightest, and first hit the thing on the nearby rock a few times, and then threw it on the shore, and the thing seemed to be dying after this fierce attack by the monkey eagle, and slowly crawled on the gravel by the stream.
A few of us hurriedly grabbed flashlights and rushed over to see what it was.
When several of our strong flashlights shone on that thing at the same time, Tian Liwen and Kenya couldn't help but scream, their hands shook, and the flashlight fell to the ground, and when I saw that thing clearly, I was also scared in my heart, but we saw too many strange things, so we quickly calmed down.
It was a strange thing - its size and head were completely monkeys, but the strange thing was that it didn't have a single hair on it, it was full of scales!
In other words, that monster is a monkey covered in fish scales!
What kind of monster is this, I would never have dreamed of such a strange thing! In particular, its round eyes, shining with a terrible light under the light of the flashlight, suddenly saw the monster bared its teeth sharply and roared at us, so frightened that we couldn't help but take two steps back.
And when the monster opened its mouth, I noticed that it had two long fangs in its mouth, protruding from the outside of the lips, which was very ferocious and terrifying. Fortunately, the monkey eagle was already half dead, otherwise it would have pounced on us.
At this time, I heard the madman six say: "How can this kind of thing appear, it's really terrible, if the monkey eagle can't find it in time, I'm afraid we will all be killed by it, it is highly poisonous, Xiao Lei, quickly use your homemade flamethrower, burn it, everyone retreat, don't come close." ”
Hearing Madman Six say this, does he know about this monster?
