Chapter 52: The Man with the Head of the Ox
I quickly waved my hand, interrupting their unwarranted speculation. At this time, there is no benefit in discussing such a thing other than scaring yourself.
I looked at Wen Mo next to me: "Boss, what do you think about this?" ”
Wen Mo shook his head and didn't speak, and the atmosphere was suddenly a little awkward. I didn't know if I should continue to ask for a while, and sometimes it was really difficult to talk to Wenmo.
After a long while, Wen Mo spoke: "I have seen a Western Zhou inscription, which records such an incident, that is, about the person with the head of the ox. ”
"The man with the head of the bull?" Lantern Xiao opened his mouth and said, "Isn't it with us, our ......," he said, pointing to the horned skull on the ground and said.
"Hey, don't interrupt!" I hurriedly stopped Lantern Xiao, then turned to Wenmo and said, "Boss, you continue!" ”
Wen Mo continued: "The ancients, the prosperity of Jiuli. The head of the tribe, the god of the gods, has ears and temples like a sword halberd, and his head has horns. Whoever has the head of an ox is the head of the family, and everyone respects it. However, Chiyou was killed by the Yellow Emperor in Qingqiu, the emperor unified Jiuli, and the people with the head of the ox were all in danger, and they were all killed! ”
After Wenmo finished speaking, the three of us looked at each other, and everyone's expressions were cloudy. Lantern Xiao licked her face and said to Wen Mo: "Boss, the three of us are all semi-literate, and we don't have any culture, can you please translate it into vernacular and talk about it?" ”
Wen Mo nodded and said: "The inscription says that in ancient times, the leader of the Jiuli tribe, Chi You, had a head like a cow and two horns. It's not just Chiyou who looks like this, all the people of Chiyou look like this, and at that time, because of Chiyou, people revered people who had this kind of bull head. Knowing that Chi You was defeated by the Yellow Emperor and killed in Qingqiu, so far, Chi You's people have also been hunted down. ”
We couldn't help but nod, "I see." ”
But Anador felt that this statement was a little unreliable, "This, this is just a myth and legend!" ”
"Not really." Lantern Xiao pointed to the horned skull on the ground, "If those are all myths, then how should this be explained?" Just because we don't know about all these things doesn't mean they haven't happened. ”
I pondered for a moment and said, "In this way, the people who died here are treated as demons, maybe it's just a rhetoric, their real identity is the descendants of Chiyou, so they should die in a political struggle." ”
Lantern Xiao listened to my words and nodded, "This explanation is much more reasonable." But," Lantern Xiao looked at the strange skull at her feet again, "this thing is real!" Perhaps such a race has really appeared in the world. ”
Hearing Lantern Xiao say this, I remembered the strange people with slender heads and bodies that appeared in the underground mausoleum of the ancient country of Shan Huan, "Who knows, maybe they existed." ”
"Anyway," Lantern Xiao waved his hand, "I'm more interested in this place." This place is really not ordinary, it is a corner forgotten by history! ”
Yes, this place is very unusual, but there is always a question in my mind, what is my second uncle doing here, or can I put it another way, what does this place have to do with those things before?
The four of us walked around this place, during which I noticed that the arrangement of these three stone pillars was a bit peculiar, using an equilateral triangle arrangement, and it was very regular, and I also deliberately measured it with steps, and each side was exactly the same length. I don't know if this arrangement will have any meaning, but who can answer such a question!
As we were about to pass through the area, I suddenly heard the sound of running water again. I glanced at Wen Mo, and based on the slight change in his expression, I knew he must have heard it too.
I pointed in the direction the water was coming from, "Let's go, let's go in this direction!" ”
Leaving this barren place, we plunged headlong into the jungle again. This time we found a lot of tangled vines in the jungle with a strange shape, and we curiously stepped forward to take a look, and it turned out to be some ruins, which looked very old, so they were tightly wrapped in weeds and vines around us. Thinking that these should be left by those ancestors back then, it seems that we are getting closer and closer to the target area.
As we made our way through the jungle, we found more and more remnants of this tangled vine. We almost all went up and cut open with knives to check it out, but we didn't find any valuable clues.
I walked over to an entangled vine again, and swung my short knife to split the vine above, and the contents below leaked out at once, but when I saw it clearly, I was immediately startled and hurriedly retreated.
Due to the excessive fright, the range of movement was relatively large, and I suddenly pulled the wound on the shoulder, and I couldn't help but scream.
Lantern Xiao in the back helped me, "How is it?" Are you okay! What do you see? ”
I pointed to a clump of vines in front of me, "There's a stone man in there!" It's the same as we've seen before! ”
"Huh?" Lantern Xiao stepped forward to take a look, and hurriedly retreated, "I'll go, it's true!" Narrator: Anado couldn't help but take two steps back, and because of her experience when she first entered the mountain, Anado also realized the danger of this kind of stone man. And for us, the impression of this kind of stone figure is even deeper! I'll never forget when I was on the island, when those stone men waved countless black tentacles!
Wen Mo raised his hand, "Retreat!" Stay farther away! ”
We immediately did as we were told, and Lantern Xiao said as she stepped back: "They have been covered up for so long, is there no problem?" ”
I said, "It's better to be careful." ”
Thankfully, there was nothing unusual about the stone people, but after that, we didn't dare to search for the places where the vines were entangled.
Passing through this jungle, we came to the front of a cliff, a white waterfall fell straight down from above, although there is no momentum of "flying down 3,000 feet", but there is also the artistic conception of "climbing the cliff and passing the hanging spring". If you don't care about the foggy and eerie environment here, the scenery is still quite good.
But at this time, I really didn't want to appreciate it, and based on the stone slabs that Wenmo found downstream, we had to find a way to go upstream of this waterfall.
Therefore, we must climb the cliff in this section. But it's so steep that you can't climb it without some professional freehand climbing. I looked at Lantern Xiao's figure as well as my own shoulders, and decided to give up this unrealistic idea.
It didn't work, it was unlikely, so we searched along the bottom of the cliff in hopes of finding a path up there. The waterfall above us splashed down, and the water droplets smashed on the stones and scattered into a mist, and the coolness hit our faces, which felt quite comfortable.
Due to the topography, there are no tall trees, but weeds and shrubs are tall and lush. We walked waist-deep in the bushes, and to be honest, the fact that I couldn't see my feet at all made me feel very insecure.
At the moment when I was dazed, the Lantern Festival in front of me suddenly disappeared with an "oops".
I couldn't help but be surprised, ran over to take a look, and found that Lantern Xiao was lying on the ground, I stepped forward and pulled him up with one hand, "What are you doing?" Play peek-a-boo! ”
Lantern Xiao patted the straw stick on his body, "Hide a fart!" I was tripped up! As he spoke, he walked to the place where he had just fallen, and when he opened the bushes, he saw that there was half a stone on the ground, almost a foot long and more than 20 centimeters wide.
I couldn't help frowning slightly, how could there be such a stone in such a place? Did someone move here, or ......
While thinking, I looked up and looked up, and suddenly saw a black shadow falling from the sky, I subconsciously shouted, grabbed the Lantern Festival next to me and retreated, but the shrubs and weeds on the ground were tangled together, and my feet stumbled on it all of a sudden, pulling the Lantern Festival and falling to the ground together.
The wound on my shoulder was suddenly pulled violently again, and I grinned in pain.
The black shadow that fell from the sky "bang" and smashed on the ground at once, and it turned out to be a piece of stone, which was completely consistent with the half of the ground in terms of material and workmanship. But how could it suddenly fall from the sky, we immediately looked up, but we didn't expect to see a black shadow flashing from the edge of the cliff, and the most surprising thing for us was that this black shadow looked like a person!
Lantern Xiao suddenly scolded: "I X your uncle's!" Which bastard!! Dare to show your head Lao Tzu will shoot you with one shot!! MD, I want to kill someone!! ”
"Who's up there?" We were completely unprepared for this situation. I didn't expect to be attacked here!
Just when we were still a little stunned, Wenmo had already moved, he ran a run, and then jumped high and grabbed a vine on the cliff. Probably because the sunlight is blocked by the cliffs, the vines here are relatively thin. Therefore, when Wenmo jumped up and grabbed it, the weak vines fell off at once, but at this moment, Wenmo reached out and grabbed a raised rock, and then pushed it upwards hard, and stood on the cliff in an unknown position.
When I looked closer, I found that among the weeds of the cliff, there were some stones fixed to the cliff wall, although many of them had fallen off and broken, but a small part remained on the cliff wall.
It seems that the stone that tripped over the Lantern Festival just now fell off from it, and Wenmo stepped on it, jumped a few times, and disappeared at the top of the cliff.
The three of us were stunned below, and Lantern Xiao and I were better, after all, we knew more about Wenmo. But Anador's jaw almost fell to the ground, and he pointed to it and said, "This, this, he, this ......"
