"Perhaps." Wu Xie said, "Do you remember the ancient corpses with sharpened teeth that we saw in the Genting Heavenly Palace, in the hiding attic of the big-headed corpse, and the teeth of this skull were also deliberately ground like this. ”

The fat man approached and touched it with his fingers, and it was indeed too pointy, "It's too." ”

There is no way to know what the connection is for the time being, Wu Xie squatted down and carefully examined the stone tablet, "But I always feel that this stone tablet is standing here, which is a little strange." ”

Nie Xiaoba also said on the side: "Little Third Master, I remember that the place where we went to rob the tomb of the monkey before is at least a kilometer away from here. ”

The stele is very rough in texture, and the patterns on it have not been retained much under years of corruption, and there are many cracks, except for the scorpion totem in the center and the border that looks like a door, there is nothing else on the whole stele sidel.

And Wu Xie always felt that the appearance of the small characters below was a little too deliberate.

The words "Immortal Country" seem to have been created here for their arrival.

"I always felt that the stele wouldn't be buried here for too long." Wu Xie said and looked at the old grave behind him, guessing, "It is very likely that this thing was buried here at the same time as this lonely grave." ”

The fat man was surprised, "You mean that someone knew we were going to be here, so they got these two things here just to let us see?" ”

"But if you look at it this way, the timing is not right." The fat man analyzed, "You see, we only learned about the scorpion based on the snow bead left by the wooden fish, and the wooden fish is only twenty-one, even if it is turned forward twice, it is far from the same age." ”

Wu Xie looked at him and said, "The scorpion in Xueba Zhu is not necessarily carved into it by Muyu itself. ”

The fat man was stunned for a moment, and the two flame markers he saw outside the sealed door of the Zhangjia Ancient Mansion suddenly flashed in his mind, and he hesitated a little: "You mean, this thing, including Xueba Zhu, is the information left to him by Muyu's father?" ”

Before Wu Xie could say anything, the fat man took care of himself and counted with his fingers, and roughly estimated Zhang Menyu's birth year, "It's a little older, if our Uncle Yu is a wooden fish born with Aunt Yu in his thirties and forties, then Uncle Yu was still a hairy child before liberation, and this time is still not right." ”

"Could it be ......" The fat man and Wu Xie glanced at each other and gasped violently, "Muyu asked us to come here to find it, it's his grandfather!" ”

The two of them coincidentally lay down in the same groove, and the fat man added: "Of course, it may also be Grandma Yu." ”

Nie Xiaoba and the others were confused about what Wu Xie and the others were talking about, so they had to listen quietly, Xiao Jiu Ye said, no matter what happened to Xia Dou this time, there was absolutely nothing wrong with listening to Xiao Sanye.

Wu Xie eased the shock in his heart, paused, and said, "Actually, before I saw this stone tablet, I always had a question in my heart. ”

"What's the question?" The fat man asked.

"You say, who did you learn the sign language from?" Wu Xie said in a deep voice, "In my opinion, that mandrill's thinking pattern has surpassed that of ordinary monkeys many times, and it is more like a person than a monkey. ”

"Isn't it taught by Granny Monkey?" Luo Wenbing interjected.

Wu Xie looked at him, "Then who do you think taught Granny Monkey's sign language?" ”

Luo Wenbing shrunk his neck, "I know." ”

Nie Xiaoba shook his gloves angrily, "If you don't know, don't interject, don't interrupt the third master's train of thought." ”

There must be a human behind the mandrill, and that human may be the one who buried this stele and the old grave here.

It's not that I haven't thought about the relationship between the sign language and the previous batch of wild lamas, but this may not be big, the education level of wild lamas is generally not very high, and people who are not deaf and sighted enough will not be able to do this business, and mute language will hardly exist.

The fat man took several pictures of the stele for later study, and then proposed, "It's getting dark, as the old saying goes, there must be an ancient temple next to the deserted tomb, let's go look for it, and rest there tonight." ”

Wu Xie patted the soil on his trouser leg, "The ancient temple has to be found, but we still have to come back tonight and sleep next to this old tomb." ”

The fat man stretched out his hand in front of his forehead and tried it, "I don't have a fever, I see that your eyes are not scattered, it's normal, why did you start talking nonsense." ”

Wu Xie slapped his hand away, "What are you doing?" Sticking to my muddy face. ”

The fat man wondered: "Why don't we sleep in the ancient temple, we have to sleep in the open grave, seeing that the black clouds on the top are about to float above our heads, what if it rains at night." ”

"As the old saying goes, it's better to sleep in a deserted tomb than in an ancient temple, which is exquisite." Wu Xie Dao.

Nie Xiaoba silently raised his hand, "I know where the ancient temple is, it's two or three hundred meters away from the tomb where the monkey robbed the tomb last time." ”

Wu Xie looked at the sky, and immediately clapped his hands and said, "Let's go, go over and find the monkey tomb." ”

Nie Xiaoba took the lead, and everyone walked in the northeast direction for nearly twenty minutes, and at a glance they saw a deep pit in the middle of the barren grass and wild flowers, and the grass and trees on the edge were slanted downward, and an old tree fell sideways on the pit due to the collapse of the geology.

Wu Xie knew at a glance that this old tree would not live for more than two years, and even if it looked vigorous now, it was already full of dodder seeds that were robbing the host's vitality by absorbing nutrients.

Cuscuta absorbs the nutrients of the tree, continues to multiply, and climbs and spreads on the thick trunk of the tree, blocking the sunlight needed for photosynthesis of the tree, and eventually causing the host to die.

At the bottom of the pit is the coffin in the photo, without soil protection, these days the wind and rain have been exposed, the coffin has been rotten and soft.

There was a thief hole under the rotting coffin, leading to the wooden tower below, and Nie Xiaoba said that this was already there when he came back.

The corrugated surface of the tower has been completely covered with mud and fallen leaves, Wu Xie turned on the flashlight, and shone down from the hole, a lot of rain has accumulated on the wooden planks on the lower floor, and the water moss has begun to grow where the sun does not shine, and the hanging dodder silk is persevering on the wooden board.

At a glance, I saw that there was a Lei Gongzui stone figurine in the pavilion on this floor, more than two meters high, standing there endright, looking straight ahead, with a hideous expression, and leaning together with both hands on the ulnar side, making a posture of bowing water.

This stone statue was supposed to have something stuck in the palm of its hand, but now it is gone, and it is estimated that it was taken away by those wild lamas.

The fat man asked what was inside, and Wu Xie said that he could only see a stone figurine, and he had to go down to see it again.

Nie Xiaoba fixed the rappelling rope at the edge of the pit, and Wu Xie and the fat man went down one after another, turning on the lights to look around.

The fat man's sharp eyes found two halves of a set of ropes thrown on the ground, "Do those people have a hole in their heads, how can they pout their own back roads?" ”

Wu Xie picked up the rope and looked at the broken end, "It wasn't made by people, looking at this rough fracture, it is estimated that the monkey bit it." ”

When the fat man heard this, he was immediately a little nervous, "They have already been attacked by monkeys here?" ”

As soon as Nie Xiaoba heard this, he immediately took his weapon and looked around vigilantly, and at this moment, a muffled thunder exploded among the dark clouds above them, and everyone was shocked.

By this time it was already dark, and it was so dark that it was completely invisible beneath the primeval dense woods not far away.

But Nie Xiaoba always felt that something was hairy in his heart, as if something was staring at them in the dark.

A dazzling bolt of lightning pierced the darkness, and boom and thunder slashed down, followed by raindrops the size of beans, smashing down their heads and faces.

Nie Xiaoba stood there, staring straight in one direction, his face pale.

Daifuku didn't know why, so he gave him half of the coat that covered his head, and looked in that direction with his eyes squinted, but he didn't see anything in the rain.

"Starling, what did you just see? The little third master told us to go down to shelter from the rain. ”

Nie Xiaoba was full of excitement, and his soul was now in the loop, and he didn't know whether it was water vapor or cold sweat on his forehead.

When the lightning suddenly struck, a huge black figure suddenly appeared in the shadow of the bushes, and he could clearly see that the huge shadow was covered with two red lantern-like eyes, eerie and terrifying.

The rain was already flowing down the hole, and when they went down, they moved the coffin board on one side and covered it, although it could not completely block the rain, but it was better than nothing.

Lighting up the two wind lanterns, the attic floor lit up, Wu Xie noticed that Nie Xiaoba's expression was wrong, so he asked him what was wrong, "What did you find wrong?" ”

Nie Xiaoba hesitated, in view of the fact that what he saw just now was too terrifying, in order to avoid causing panic among everyone, he still whispered to Wu Xie, "The lightning passed too fast, I'm not sure if I'm dizzy." ”

When Wu Xie heard this, he was silent for a moment before he said: "Your feeling is right, those monkeys have not stayed away from us, but have been following behind us, is the huge shadow you just saw very similar to the mandrill we saw before?" ”

Nie Xiaoba nodded with palpitations.

"That's actually a projection of lightning light traveling in a straight line in the air, blocked by a physical object, like this." Wu Xie said, bringing his other hand close to the lamp port of the flashlight, and then asked Nie Xiaoba to pay attention to the shadow on the ground.

The closer his palm was to the light source, the larger the shadow on the ground became, and the more blurred the edges became, and vice versa.

Nie Xiaoba suddenly realized that the huge shadow came from this, and he almost scared him half to death, thinking that there were monsters hidden in this mountain that were even bigger than mandrills.

"But if you're not mistaken, the mandrill is indeed hiding in that location." Wu Xie Dao.

Nie Xiaoba hurriedly said: "Little Third Master, then what should we do now?" ”

"Cold salad." Wu Xie smiled and beckoned to the fat man who was already cooking in a pot, "Don't be busy eating, we have to go down a few floors, those monkeys have been following us." ”

"Grandma's!" The fat man scolded, "Those dog-day turtle grandsons are really ghostly, naïve, you first find the mouth and lead people down, I'll put a few detonators in this place and blow him up." ”

Wu Xie nodded in agreement and patted the fat man on the shoulder, "Stay safe." ”

He has experienced a lot of mechanisms, and Wu Xie is basically familiar with the hidden mechanisms that will be set up in ordinary tombs, and the black blind man has also specially trained him in this aspect, so it is easy to find the mechanism instructed by the Lei Gongzui stone figurine.

"This is a guiding figurine, but this kind of thing generally only appears in the corridor of the burial chamber, and its function is to guide the path to immortality for the tomb owner." Wu Xie said, "But the direction indicated by this figurine is strange, why does it point to the lower level of the tower, not the top of the head. ”

Nie Xiaoba guessed, "Didn't the Immortal Kingdom be written on the stele before, maybe that Gu King felt that he was an immortal?" Or maybe he wants to be a god. ”

Wu Xie shook his head, "No, look at the expression of this stone figurine, the hideous is just the original form of Lei Gongzui, but its eyes are looking up instead of looking down, that is, it is looking up at something coming down from above." ”

The fat man finished installing the waterproof bomb, connected the trigger cable, and answered: "Come down from above, isn't that us, what is this monkey looking up to us doing, don't you want to recognize the fat man as a grandfather." ”

As he spoke, he squatted on the ground imitating the stone figurines and posed in a playful pose, pinching his throat and whispering: "Welcome, grandpa will give a red envelope." ”

As soon as the words fell, another burst of thunder thundered down, the sound penetrated the ground, infinitely amplified in the empty attic, and the echo and thunder continued to overlap until it gradually subsided after ten minutes.

The fat man was stunned for a moment, and his eyes were gathered into horns.

Wu Xie put down the hand covering his ears, shook his head, which was still a little buzzing, and scolded secretly, and woke up the fat man, "Hurry up, let's go down from here, this tower is an inverted cone, the closer to the ground, the louder the thunder, a few more times, our ears will be temporarily deaf." ”

There is a wooden door in the direction indicated by the Lei Gongzui stone figurines, due to some squeezing and deformation due to moisture, Wu Xie kicked open with both feet, and a very low staircase appeared behind him.

The fat man looked inside and called, "This place doesn't look like a place for people to walk into." ”

"Give the monkey away, stop talking nonsense, hurry." After Wu Xie finished speaking, he put on his headlamp and went in.

The fat man took a deep breath, tightened his belt, turned his head and patted Nie Xiaoba's shoulder, and said seriously, "The fat man's bag will be handed over to you." ”

Before the next thunder, everyone slipped into the small door and crawled down the low passageway, which was so long that it was clearly felt that they were circling the tower itself.

During this period, he passed through several wooden doors, but Wu Xie only pried open with a knife and took a look inside, and found that there were all the same Lei Gongzui stone figurines as the top layer, and the posture was unchanged as if it were copied and pasted.

But the only difference is that in the hands of the stone figurines on the third floor, there is an extra coiled long snake.

The fat man said quietly: "Innocent, not familiar." ”

Wu Xie also said quietly: "Isn't it, it's all ripe and dry." ”

"The ghost of these hanging sausages is not gone." The fat man smacked his tongue, "Innocent, how fragrant your meat is, you have chased it all the way here." ”

"You're more tasty." Wu Xie had already pried open the door and drilled in.

Thank you for the reward from the big guy, compare your heart
