Volume 1 Chapter 46: The Stone Statue of the True Dragon

Dawu's thoughts instantly lifted my desperate mood.

Using the powder scraped from the stone door, we sprinkled these strange stones, and relying on the mechanism by which the stones could not bond themselves through the granite, we began to dig so that we did not have to worry about the stones being glued together again.

It's not hard to imagine, it's even easy to think of, but I didn't react for a long time.

"Dawu, you're a genius....."

Dawu and I didn't delay, we immediately took out daggers and bandages, and we stuck them in front of the stone door, ripped off the bandages and spread them on the ground to collect them, and then began to scrape the stone powder on them.

In order to prevent any more wasted work, the two of us first scraped a little granite powder, used two pieces of gravel for experiments, and sprinkled the stone powder on these strange stones, which did not show any tendency to stick together for a long time.

"Third master, this method can really work!"

"Well, scrape, we have been in this tunnel for more than a day, if we go out later, the outside will be flooded by then, and going out will be a dead end....."

I hadn't heard of the rainstorm outside before we came in, and I could already hear the sound of water halfway through the tunnel, thinking that the water outside had poured into the valley.

When we started scraping a lot of granite powder, we realized that it was an extremely difficult thing to do. The dagger is not a special tool, and it is very difficult to scrape, and only a little powder can be scraped off in half an hour, which is far from enough for us.

Eventually, the blades of the dagger were curled, and we ended up scraping off only a small pile of stone dust, and most of the pit we had dug up had healed on its own.

I realized that if the two sides of the work were not going on at the same time, it would not work to get out either.

"Dawu, I will continue to scrape the stone powder, you go and dig the pit, otherwise when the stone powder is scraped enough, the pit will have already been filled."

With the help of these stone powders, Dawu dug the pit faster, and had been gluing together on their own because of these stones, but the speed was not very fast, and if you didn't keep staring at it, you would almost never find it.

So we dig the pit very slowly, because it's healing.

Now with the blessing of the stone powder, it will not bond again, and Dawu quickly dug out a thumb-sized cavity.

"Third master, you scrape quickly, the stone powder is all used up..... It's going to be dug up in no time! ”

I rushed into the pit and shone a flashlight into the thumb-sized hole, which was so small that I could barely see anything.

I continued to scrape the stone powder, my hand was already bleeding, and the thorns on my hand were still stuck in the flesh when I climbed the vine in the forest, and the sting pain in my hand had already numbed me.

I swear that after I go out from here, I will never come to Xiangxi again in my lifetime, and I will spend my life healing the shadow of this trip.

Soon after, Dawu had dug a pit half the size of his body, and as long as he leaned down and climbed into the pit, he could take a flashlight and see what was on the other side of the pit.

Dawu bit the flashlight, the whole person squeezed into the pit, he looked at it for a while, and quickly retreated from the pit, I hurriedly asked him what was on the pit, but his expression was very complicated, and he looked like he wanted to say something.

"This.... Qiu Sanye, I don't know how to describe it, because of the angle, I can only see a very limited space..... Inside it seems to be a temple, and there is a very large stone dragon in the middle, which is so big that it is a little scary.....

Temple? How can there be a temple in the middle of the mountains?

I didn't immediately climb into the pit to see, but told Dawu to dig quickly, while I continued to scavenge for stone dust.

After about an hour, the hole was finally ready for the two of us to get through, and we immediately packed up our things and climbed out of the pit with great difficulty.

As soon as I got out of the tunnel, I felt that the depression in my body suddenly dissipated, and although I hadn't stepped out of the mountain yet, I still felt like I was being reborn.

I shone my flashlight forward, startled by the scene in front of me, no wonder Dawu told me after reading it just now that he didn't know how to describe it.

We are in a large open space, and in the middle of the open space is a round tulou, which is very similar to the tulou in Fujian. This kind of tulou is in the shape of a doughnut, the middle is empty, and people live in the buildings on both sides.

But the tulou in front of us is relatively large, but it is not very exaggerated, at least it is still within the range of human acceptance.

However, in the middle of this earthen building, where it should have been vacant, stood a stone dragon several hundred meters high. In fact, this stone statue is so big that we can't even see its head when we look up, and the reason why it is judged to be a dragon is because its claws and tail are very similar to the ancient people's depictions of dragons in ancient books.

"Third master, is this thing really something that ancient people could build.... Damn, this is really a god, I guess why this stone statue must not be 200 meters high? ”

"If you want to build a miracle like the Great Wall, it has been built by the ancients, what is a stone statue...... However, the Great Wall was built by the decree of the emperors of the past dynasties and with tens of thousands of people, and this 100-meter-high stone statue is in this deep mountain, so it is impossible for the emperor to give the will and let tens of thousands of people build it..."

I suddenly thought of the legend of the Six-Fingered Clan, which mentioned that when Mr. Feng Shui surnamed Yi met the Six-Fingered Clan, he found that the Six-Fingered Clan were worshipping the real dragon, and he found that the real dragon was just a snake.

The legend only describes the size of the real dragon statue very plainly, but does not describe how big it is. Could it be that the stone dragon that appears in front of us now is the so-called true dragon worshiped by the Six-Fingered Clan?

The more I think about it, the more I think it's okay, this tulou is originally inhabited, and this should be the site of the six-fingered clan, they all live in this tulou, worshipping this real dragon who is actually a snake.

I looked back at the hole we had come out of, which had been dug under the stone gate, and I finally saw the true face of the stone gate.

When we stood in the tunnel, it was a stone gate, but when we came out, it was a stone gate. This is not a stone gate made of granite at all, it is simply an arched granite piece.

Around us came out, there was a huge granite of this kind on the mountain wall at intervals.

The range of our flashlight is really a bit overwhelming here, this open space is so big that I have to take a look at it with Dawu in many places to see the whole thing.

I guess the Six Fingers wanted to use so much granite around their tulou, probably to prevent the strange stones behind the granite from gradually sticking together, and then engulfing their tulou with them.
