However, as I walked, I found a problem, all the architectural traces or wreckage here are obviously not used for habitation, but more like some kind of sacrificial building, because there are still relevant carving traces can be faintly seen on some of the remaining stones.

Generally speaking, the carvings on the remains of these buildings are generally nothing special, just some patterns of people, flowers, birds, landscapes, etc., but there is one detail that caught my attention, that is, on these remaining carvings, you can often see a pattern similar to an eye. We are no strangers to this pattern, and we have seen it many times along the way. However, I am more curious, what does this eye pattern mean to these ancient ancestors?

As we continued along the remains of these ruins, we began to see some huge stone carvings around us. These stone carvings give me a sense of déjà vu.

Some of the stone carvings are incomplete, some are obscured by the branches of the trees, but some are still standing. These stone carvings are carved with large human faces, in which the nose and mouth are obvious, and the carvings are very thick and exaggerated. I can't help but think of the stone statues on the Easter Islands, but the difference between the two is still obvious, just a bit like the overall structure.

We approached one of the relatively intact stone statues, and it wasn't until we got to it that we could really feel its enormity, and a few of us could only look up.

Lantern Xiao glanced at it and immediately said, "Hey, this statue doesn't seem to have eyes engraved?" ”

Anador also looked at it and said, "Could it be that the position of the eyes has been smoothed out by weathering due to age." ”

"Impossible!" Lantern Xiao waved his hand, "Look at this nose, this mouth, the carving is so three-dimensional and not weathered, how can the eyes be worn out!" ”

I looked at the face of the statue and it did have the shape of the brow bone carved on the top of the nose, but there was nothing underneath the brow bone. I stared at the face of the colossus in a daze, and suddenly I noticed that there were a lot of patterns on the statue's face that were not too big.

The appearance of these patterns, which looked a little strange, but also a little familiar, I looked at it carefully, and immediately gasped, I clearly saw that these patterns were all eyes, some of them opened, some of them closed, and suddenly I remembered why I felt that these colossi were familiar. Outside the valley, in the swamp blister, we found a colossus lying in the water, looking much like what we saw at this time.

There's only one there, and there are many, and I think we should not be far from the base camp of the ancestors.

I reached out and pointed out the pattern on it, "Actually, this colossus has eyes, but the way it is carved is a little strange." ”

A few people looked in the direction of my finger, and Lantern Xiao immediately reacted, "We have seen this statue in the swamp, but it was in the water at the time, and I didn't recognize it for a while." ”

Anaduo looked at the number of eyes on the Colossus's face, and couldn't help but show a somewhat disgusted expression, "Why do these people carve so many eyes, the people who are watching densely have goosebumps!" ”

Yes, I also wonder why the people here were so fond of carving eyes at that time, could it be that this was a kind of totem worship in the first place?

Suddenly, I remembered that Wenmo had told me and Lantern Xiao that this kind of carved eye is called the Void Eye. When I talk about the Void Eyes, I think of the Void Eyes, and it seems that there may really be a connection between them.

I looked at the second uncle, the second uncle looked at these eyes, did not speak for a while, saw me looking at him, and then said: "The ancients were curious and worshipful about things they did not understand, including events in nature, but also the wonderful structure of the human body, the eyes are the most special external organs on the human body, it is clear and bright, so some ancient ancestors will think that this is given by God, so they cherish and worship it extraordinarily. ”

As soon as I saw that the second uncle was about to start the class again, I hurriedly interrupted him, "Second uncle, I want to ask you, is there any connection between these eye carvings and the ancient tombs of the island?" ”

Hearing my question, the second uncle was obviously stunned, and seemed to be very surprised, "You, why do you ask that?" ”

I looked at Wenmo and said, "Wenmo, I once told us that this kind of eye carving is called Void Eyes!" ”

The second uncle's expression suddenly froze, and then he shook his head and smiled bitterly, "You really met a good teacher." Yes, that's right, but it's not just about island tombs. ”

"Oh?" I hurriedly asked, "Second Uncle, what do you mean by that?" ”

The second uncle looked at me and said, "There is also a guardian spirit, don't forget!" ”

My eyes suddenly lit up, "Are you talking about Ali Merk's instigation?" ”

The second uncle didn't speak, just nodded. I connected these with the words that the second uncle said to me alone before, and I finally understood why Yuan An and the second uncle would look for clues from the ancient tomb of the island and the underground royal tomb of the ancient kingdom of Shan Huan respectively.

In the past, although I also had some thoughts and speculations about these, but today I have been confirmed by the second uncle, and I at least finally know why we are here at this time, and this is simply a continuation of the previous action. Maybe we are tracing back to the roots, maybe we are still peeling back the cocoon, but some of the questions in my mind before, at this time, I have found part of the answer, or it can't be counted as an answer, probably just a direction of exploration.

I opened my mouth and wanted to ask the second uncle some questions, but the second uncle waved his hand at me, "Okay, I know what else you want to know, but this is not the place to talk about this, I will make it clear to you after the specific situation, let's move on first." ”

I had no choice but to shut my mouth again, go around the statue and walk forward behind the second uncle and Wenmo. I noticed that the closer we got to the center of the sinkhole, the denser the trees became, and we had to take out our short knives and chop the branches around us.

From time to time, the sound of our footsteps would startle a few birds, or disturb the animals resting in the dense forest, and suddenly we saw a shaking of the bushes around us, and it was obvious that an animal that did not know what it was, fled into the distance. Every time I encounter this situation, I can't help but feel that I am actually more nervous than those animals who are disturbed.

Suddenly, the Lantern Festival behind him suddenly made an "oops", followed by a "plop".

I was in a high level of nervousness, I was startled by him, and quickly turned my head to look, and found that Lantern Xiao didn't know why he fell to the ground, so we went over to help him up, "What's the matter?" Are you tired? ”

Lantern Xiao waved his hand, "No, I don't know what the hell tripped me." ”

Hearing him say this, I reached over and brushed away the weeds on the ground that had not reached my ankles, and suddenly a pile of broken stones appeared.

"What is this?" Anador frowned slightly and asked softly.

When the second uncle next to him saw it, he immediately shouted: "Be careful! Stay away from it! ”

I didn't have a clue, but when the second uncle shouted like this, I took a closer look again, and immediately broke out in a cold sweat, in the middle of the pile of broken stones, there was a round thing, a few holes and other marks that had been cut on it, I recognized it at once, and shouted: "Damn!" It's a five-trick stone man! ”

As soon as I called out this name, Lantern Xiao and Anado immediately took several steps back as if they were electrocuted, and their faces instantly became extremely nervous!

Even the second uncle and Wen Mo all pulled out their waist knives in an instant and waited for them. A few of us gathered around the Five Trick Stone Figures, not daring to rush forward, nor daring to turn around and run.

Lantern Xiao picked up a stone from the ground, took it in his hand and shook it, aimed at the broken position of the stone man, and raised his hand to throw it. At the beginning on the island, the Lantern Festival was also a stone that provoked the monsters among those five-trick stone people, and that scene is still fresh in my memory. I was still quick and grabbed him, "What do you want to do!" ”

Lantern Xiao looked at me innocently, "What are you nervous about?" I'll test it! ”

"Try a fart!" I raised my hand and knocked the stone in his hand to the ground, "The last time I was on the island was not enjoyable, you want to do it a second time!" ”

"Hey!" Lantern Xiao didn't seem convinced, "Can I be blamed for this?" I'm not going to smash that thing, I'm just trying to make it show up. ”

"You ......"

Before I finished speaking, the second uncle suddenly shouted in a low voice: "Shut up!" I noticed that Wen Mo had slowly leaned over, and he gently pushed aside the bushes to look at it, and then straightened up. It's okay, it's completely ruined! ”

Hearing Lantern Xiao say this, we breathed a sigh of relief, we walked over and took a look and found that the entire stone figure had been almost completely broken into small pieces, and even the relatively intact head was already missing a third, no wonder Wenmo said that it had been completely broken.

The second uncle squatted down and carefully picked up half of the stone man's head with his hands, although it was only a stone man, but at this time, it seemed that a part of the stone man's head was missing, but it also looked hideous and terrifying.

The second uncle turned the stone man's head and carefully looked at its internal structure. I was also interested in the interior of the stone man, so I leaned over to see it. I don't know if these traces were originally carved or formed for some reason, but in short, these five-trick stone figures are much more complex than we thought.

The second uncle threw the stone man's head back to the ground and clapped his hands, "MD, I didn't expect that even the five-trick stone man appeared, this place may be more troublesome!" Be careful, everyone! ”
