Chapter 18: The Wind

Seeing that I stopped, Ah Si, who was holding me, also turned around and asked me, "Third brother, what did you find again?"

"Wind!" I pointed to my ear and said to Ah Si, "Do you hear the sound of the wind?"

At the moment, Ah Si was calmer than me, he listened to my words, and listened carefully to the ringing in his ears, and then said: "It's a little breezy! This sound is the pine waves, the movement of the pine forest over there being beaten by the wind." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Questions?"

Pine forest! The wind blows the pine waves......

Suddenly, I felt like this was the only thing here that could be blown away by the wind, right?

"Wind!" I was excited again, pointing to the woods, "When I dreamed last night, Meizi told me that the key to saving her was 'wind'. ”

After listening to my words, Zhao Haipeng and Zhang Asi remained motionless, and their attitudes were obviously not as positive as mine.

I know that my attachment or hallucination makes everyone a little impatient, or I judge indiscriminately because of a word in my dream, which is very unreliable.

But...... I just can't let go of it in my heart, and I can't let it go.

With the word "wind" in the dream, I once again tried to cheer myself up, and begged Zhao Haipeng and Ah Si to take me to the pine forest on the two mountains one last time, so that we could finally search and see if we could find clues to Meizi's disappearance.

Just because of a dream, a word, to find the area of a woodland, this request itself is really ridiculous, but fortunately, my brother and my brother are very righteous, although skeptical, but still agree with my idea.

So, we turned back again and searched for the pine forest.

In this round mountainous area, there are two sparse pine forests, and those two woods happen to be planted on both sides of the Seven Star Tomb, one of which is only a little higher than the root of the mountain, and we can easily reach it.

Therefore, the nearest forest became our first target to explore, and when we reached the woodland, we saw some ..... Something not ordinary.

As soon as I entered the woodland, the first thing I looked up was, and I saw an old pine tree, which was not large, but the roots and tendons were thick, and there were many nodules, and the branches were sparse, and it seemed to be very old.

The tree itself was old, but it wasn't weird, and it caught my attention because I was under the trunk of the tree, and I saw it...... A brick?!

From the outside, this brick should be the kind of "green brick" often used in ancient buildings, and it is strange that it is the part that "grows" at the base of the tree, and about one-third of the volume is entwined by the roots of the pine tree, like a small tombstone inserted diagonally.

It is such a "small monument" that immediately aroused my infinite reverie.

Because I suddenly remembered that the old man who was herding cattle had told me that this valley was called "Miaotoukou", a small valley pass that was not often frequented, and had been almost forgotten by the world.

And the name "Miaotoukou" itself is very eye-catching.

Combined with this brick, I can't help but think, maybe this so-called Miaotoukou used to have a "temple", but with the passage of time, the temple is not there, leaving a name for the head of the temple.

Following this idea, I stretched out my hand and pointed to the brick and asked Zhao Haipeng: "Old Zhao, do you think this place will cover the temple in the past, and this brick is the remnant of the ancient temple?"

Zhao Haipeng looked at the brick, and suddenly nodded: "It's possible, this kind of tree can grow to the point of wrapping the bricks, and it can't be achieved in a day or two." ”

"That's interesting...... Ah Si scratched his head, looked around at the towering trees around him and said, "Let's look for it separately, maybe if you look for it, you can find Sister Meizi." ”

The words of the fourth child entered my heart, so we separated and searched the small woodland as fast as we could, looking for any possible clues about Numei and the strange problems here.

In the process, I found more building fragments in the pine forest, such as tiles, nails and even striped boulders, which seemed to confirm my previous judgment.

There used to be a building here, and it seems to be quite large, but whether this building is a temple, a Taoist temple or some other pavilion, I'm afraid I can't tell.

Just as I had gone far after searching for the ruins, I suddenly saw two white round stones under another low pine tree.

The color of the stone was blue and white, the lines were sleek, and from a distance there were some traces of artificially carved stones, unlike any building material I had just seen.

Looking at the unusual stone, I was a little curious, so I walked over and used a dagger to pull away the coil between the branches of the pine tree, only to realize that it was a "stone drum" guarding the door.

The stone drum is a thing that we often see in our hometown, so I know that it is actually the same as the stone lion, which is a kind of "guard" guarding the door, and it is often engraved with the pattern of auspicious Jincai, which is very beautiful.

So I naturally thought, maybe this stone drum is also a similar pattern, and it depicts either a flower or a phoenix.

With this in mind, I further used my dagger to pick up the scattered vines on the stone.

After that, I found out that I had misjudged.

After using the broken dagger to pick the last trace of roots on the stone drum wall, a fairly complete pattern appeared in front of me.

The pattern is nearly round, and the thing drawn on it is a kind of ...... A "birdman" I've never seen before?

Overall, the birdman looks like a bird-headed human body, with wings on his back, claws under his feet, and a necklace of a skeleton and a snake climbing around his neck.

Overall, this "birdman" looks a little similar to the image of an angel in the West, but it is more majestic and eerie than it.

Looking at the picture of the stone drum, I was amazed.

I've never seen anything like this before, so I can't think of what these patterns can mean, and I don't know what this ugly thing like Monk Sha is.

However, I still have a heart, after discovering this stone drum monster, I immediately took out my mobile phone, took a few photos from multiple angles, and then put it in my arms, ready to go back, and Zhao Haipeng and even the shopkeeper Tong next door to ask for advice.

After all, Shopkeeper Tong understands ancient culture.

Originally, I wanted to take six or seven photos for backup, but just as I was taking the third photo, Ah Si suddenly ran over in a hurry.

The fourth brother walked around the branches of the pine tree, and as soon as he saw me, he immediately shouted and dragged me up and said, "Third brother, come with me, there is a discovery." ”

Hearing this, my heart suddenly closed, and while putting away my mobile phone, I frowned and asked Zhang Asi: "Fourth, have you found Meizi?"

"It's not ......" Ah Si shook his head and shook his hand: "It's a dark coin, a lot of dark coins...... and ......"

As he spoke, Ah Si turned around and pointed.

Following his hand, I soon noticed that on the slope of the hill on my side, Zhao Haipeng was standing on the edge of a pine tree, staring at something. (To be continued.) )
