Hearing Lantern Xiao's words, I suddenly felt very funny, "How is it possible?" How could it possibly come out of the soil on its own? But after thinking about it, I hesitated again, "This, should ...... Probably not, right? ”

Lantern Xiao shone with a flashlight, and now except for the stone man's ankle, all other parts are exposed to the ground. And we clearly remember that when we found this stone man, it was only exposed beyond the waist above the ground.

Lantern Xiao pointed at the stone man, "But how to explain this situation now?" ”

"This," for a moment, I was speechless. The current situation really makes us feel unbelievable.

Lantern Xiao reached out and touched the stone man's arm, "It seems to be a stone, nothing special." ”

I thought about it for a moment and said, "Then if it's a stone, it's okay to arrive, the stone can't harm others!" ”

Lantern Xiao squatted down and looked at the part of the stone man that was still buried in the soil, "Hey, Zhuo Ran, do you think we want to dig this thing out and take a look?" ”

I quickly reached out and pulled him, "Don't move, more is better than less, if you dig up something terrible, we will all suffer!" And," I said, looking at the churning dirt at the stone man's feet, "do you think it's still possible?" Is this stone man being topped up from below? ”

Lantern Xiao was stunned by what I said, "Don't say that there is really such a possibility, if we dig it up, we will dig it out!" Saying that, Lantern Xiao hurriedly took two steps back, "Forget it, still don't dig it!" But," Lan Xiao frowned, "Do you just watch it slowly drill out on its own, regardless of him?" ”

I sighed, "At this point, the best way is to wait and see, no matter what is behind this matter, I just hope that it and our well water will not interfere with the river water." ”

Lantern nodded, and we turned back to the camp, where Lantern Xiao and I sat by the fire, but both of us were focused on the stone figure not far away. I'm afraid it will suddenly come back to life.

Probably because there was no sun, the sea breeze at night was very cold, so I stood up and longed for some firewood to be added to the fire, hoping to make the fire more vigorous and drive away the cold.

I just walked a few steps, suddenly stumbled under my feet, grabbed forward, almost fell, I looked back, only to see a gray bulge on the ground, it looked like a round stone, I scolded in my heart: uncle! How can there still be a stone here!

I cursed as I threw some firewood into the fire, and then I walked back and tried to kick the stone aside so as not to trip the others, but I didn't move a few times with my foot, and I was a little surprised that this small-looking stone was so heavy.

I thought it was a little strange, so I took a closer look at it with a flashlight, and it turned out that there were a pair of eyes on this round stone! I was startled, and hurriedly beckoned Lantern Xiao to come and see.

Lantern Xiao ran over and followed the light of my flashlight, and saw that on the side of the stone, there was a pair of stone-carved eyes. He was looking straight at the two of us. This turned out to be a stone figure carving.

Lantern Xiao turned to me and asked, "When you were eating just now, did you notice a stone here?" ”

I shook my head, "There was a lot of sand and gravel around here, so I didn't pay attention, but if there was such a raised stone here, I would have been impressed." ”、

Lantern Xiao's expression was a little solemn, "Although you didn't pay attention, but I paid attention, I lit this fire at that time, and I am very sure that the fire was flat around it at that time, and there was absolutely no such raised stone." ”

Hearing these words of Lantern Festival, I couldn't help but gasp, "In that case, this stone carving has just been drilled out of the ground?" ”

Lantern Xiao nodded, "It should be like this." It seems that there should be more than one such stone statue here. ”

The two of us hurriedly searched around the camp, and sure enough, there should have been at least eight stone statues around the two of us, some of which were already half exposed, some of which were only showing their heads, and what made us extremely uneasy was that we did not know how many stone figures had not yet emerged from the ground.

Lantern Xiao and I looked at each other, and now we realized the seriousness of the matter, and the two of us decided to call everyone up first to discuss the current situation.

We walked into the tent, and with a soft shout, everyone sat up. These people are really not ordinary people, and none of them are dragging mud and water. Even the second uncle changed his usual snooze, did not drop the chain at the critical moment, and asked decisively: "What's wrong?" What's wrong? ”

Lantern Xiao said: "You still remember the stone man we saw before we went to bed. ”

"Remember," Zhou Cheng asked, "what's wrong?" ”

Lantern Xiao pointed outside, "He went up a little bit more." ”

"What?" Everyone was stunned.

"And not only that," I continued, "there are at least eight of these stone statues around our tent, growing out of the soil on their own, and they must be moving slowly towards the ground at this time. ”

Hearing my description and Lantern Festival's description, everyone hurriedly walked out of the tent and searched around vigilantly, and sure enough, they found the eight stone statues, and they looked like they had risen one more than just now, and the stone statues we found at the beginning were now completely exposed to the ground, and I think they are rising faster!

What puzzles us even more is that judging from the traces on the ground, the stone statue that is completely exposed to the ground actually has traces of dragging on the ground, can it still move forward?

This situation is really strange, could it be that all the stone people here are alive? I couldn't figure it out.

At this moment, An Ye, who was at the back, suddenly said loudly: "It's not good! Danger, everyone get away from this thing! ”

We originally wanted to get closer and study it carefully, but when we heard An Ye's words, we all immediately retreated, "Uncle An, do you know this thing?" Lantern Xiao asked while looking at the stone man vigilantly.

An Ye nodded and walked over, "If this thing is guessed correctly, it should be the Five Trick Stone Man!" After speaking, An Ye turned his head to look at the second uncle and Wen Mo, and asked, "Do you think what I said is right?" ”

The second uncle shook his head, "Although I have heard the name of the Five Trick Stone People, I have never seen it, so I don't dare to say anything." ”

Wen Mo next to him nodded slightly.

Lantern Xiao asked, "Uncle An, what is the Five Tricks Stone Man, what is this?" ”

Uncle An motioned for us to step back, then glanced at a few stone figures around him, and then said with some eagerness: "Everyone pack up their things, let's leave this area as soon as possible." ”

Although we didn't understand a little, we didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly put away the tent and packed up the equipment.

When we started to clean up, Lantern Xiao said to An Ye: "Uncle An, while we are cleaning up, what do you tell us about the Five Tricks Stone Man?" ”

An Ye nodded and said, "Whether it is a human or an animal, it is divided into two types: nine orifices and eight orifices, which is also used to distinguish between high-level animals and low-level animals. As a higher animal, human beings have nine orifices, which are the seven orifices on the head, plus the grain aperture and the water orifice, for a total of nine orifices. There are cats, dogs, tigers, and so on, while the lower animals, such as chickens, ducks, and birds, have their grain and water holes together, and they are called eight holes. ”

Zhou Cheng thought for a while and asked, "What are the valley tricks and water tricks?" ”

Lantern Xiao patted Zhou Cheng, "Brother Cheng, I'll translate it into the vernacular for you, a place to and a place to pee!" ”

Zhou Cheng listened and nodded.

An Ye continued: "And this so-called trick is the way to absorb the aura of heaven and earth, or to exchange it with the aura of heaven and earth. Therefore, objects that are born with a sense of consciousness are spiritual, have the aura of heaven and earth, and have life, just like humans and other animals. But there are some exceptions, some inanimate things are also born with knacks, all kinds of stones are one of them, such as "Journey to the West" said, the stone that gave birth to Sun Wukong, with nine holes and eight holes, is a natural spirit stone, so a spirit monkey like Sun Wukong was born. Of course, this is a novel, but there are relevant records in history, I know one thing, that is, when the Qinghai-Tibet Railway was built, a seven-trick spirit stone was blown out of the mountain, and the seven-trick spirit stone fell down the mountain and cracked, and people actually found a snow-white stone core inside the stone, the stone core has become a human shape, and can even see the facial features clearly, it is the appearance of a beautiful little girl. This is because this seven-aperture spirit stone absorbs the essence of the sun and the moon, the aura of heaven and earth. ”

A few of us, of course, specifically me, Lantern Xiao, Zhou Cheng and Qi Feng, listened to An Ye's explanation, and they were all dumbfounded, "An Ye, according to what you mean, these stone people also have knack, and they can also absorb the aura of heaven and earth, which means that they can move on their own, is it because they have become essence?" Lantern Xiao pointed to the stone figures and said. But I don't see how dangerous they are. ”

An Ye frowned, "This kind of stone man is not completely innate, but artificially involved, so this kind of thing is not a spiritual thing that can absorb the essence of the sun and the moon, more precisely, a man-made monster!" ”

As soon as the word "monster" came out, I felt that the stone figures around me, which had become more prominent, seemed indescribably weird and terrifying. Although they were extremely slow, I really wanted to leave as soon as possible, and I didn't want to stay for a moment.

At this time, we had already packed our equipment and were about to leave here, and at this moment, Lantern Xiao looked at the stone man who appeared first in a daze.

I stepped forward and patted him, "What are you doing?" Have you taken a fancy to it? ”

Lantern Xiao tilted her head, "I always feel that these things are really not a threat, at their speed, I can shake them off with both legs." How do they hurt people? ”

I heard that Lantern Festival meant that I didn't believe that these things could harm people, so I asked, "What do you kid want to do?" ”

Lantern Xiao lowered her voice and said, "You said that I would smash it with a stone, can it fight back?" ”

I was stunned for a moment, and felt inappropriate in my heart, "Don't toss around again!" ”

"It's fine!" Lantern Xiao turned his head to look at the others who had already set off, picked up a stone the size of a bowl, and muttered, "Five Stone People? I let the stones smash the stones, and you kill each other! As he spoke, he threw the stone out of his hand with all his might.

It just so happened that Wen Mo happened to look back and saw this scene, and shouted: "Stop!" But it was too late, the stone had already been taken off, and the Lantern Festival was very strong, and the stone flew like an arrow off the string, flying towards the stone man.

Wenmo shouted, "Run!" ”
