Volume 1 Chapter 47: Entering the Tulou

The clearings are a bit unnatural, and there are at least a thousand of these stone-like granite patches on the surrounding mountain walls. It's the size of three football fields, but the height is boundless, at least more than three or four hundred meters.

We didn't know what time it was because we didn't have a watch, but there was no light overhead, so I guess it must be late at night. Otherwise, even if there is very little sunlight here, there will be at least a glimmer of light.

"Third master, do we want to go in?" Dawu looked at the huge earth tower and the real dragon stone statue in front of him, obviously he didn't really want to go in.

I thought to myself, since I came here to find the treasures left by the Six Fingers, and now that I finally found this place, if I don't go in and have a look, it won't mean that I ran for nothing?

"Come in, why don't you come in here?"

Dawu and I flashlights and walked towards the tulou, and when we got to the bottom of the tulou, we found that the building was ridiculously large, as if it was twice as tall as the tulou in Fujian.

"These six-fingered people are from Xiangxi, how can the place where they live be the tulou of Fujian?"

My guess in my heart may be that it was for the convenience of worshipping this real dragon statue, but it could also be for other reasons. But what makes me most curious is, how did this huge stone statue come to be?

Aside from material resources and manpower, in such a deep mountain, if you want to build such a large stone statue, you must first have a large boulder, but how can such a boulder be transported here from the outside? Could it be that this place itself has such a large boulder, which happened to be discovered by the people of the Six-Fingered Clan, and by the way, it was carved into a dragon?

The main gate of the tulou is very large, like the ancient city gate, but fortunately this gate is open, otherwise how we can enter is a problem.

When I entered the tulou, I found that the layout of the surrounding area was no different from the tulou in Fujian, but it was much higher than the tulou in Fujian. I took my flashlight and counted the fifteen floors, the wood and many of the decorations were very worn, and it was clear that the place had been abandoned for a long time.

If a professional comes here to investigate, it may be possible to deduce which dynasty this place came from, so that you can know when the Six Fingers came to an end.

"Third master, do you think there will be snakes here?"

I narrowed my eyes and said, "Probably not, the ropeway we walked on earlier should not be far from here, but this is a circular valley pit, which happens to be separated from the valley on the other side, and snakes can't appear here." ”

After I finished saying this, I suddenly thought of the sky-swallowing python in the valley before, it seemed that it was no smaller than the stone statue in front of us.

The flashlight had been used for many days, the light had already dimmed, and the spare batteries were in Baisha and Yu Yang's bags, so Dawu and I had to find wood and pour gasoline to make a torch.

Dawu cut down the wooden door in the earthen building with a sapper shovel, picked out the two longest ones and wrapped them in bandages, poured gasoline from our only lighter on it, crushed the remaining candles, rubbed them on them, and then lit the improvised torches.

We walked under the huge statue of the dragon with our torches, and I was once again shocked by the fact that its toenails were larger than the two of us combined.

In the courtyard in the middle of the tulou, there was nothing but this stone statue. The floors where people live on both sides are already full of dust because they are too old. It's pitch black, and it's extremely weird.

Now Dawu and I are very much like the male protagonists in horror novels, and the two of them are holding torches and going deep into the strange building.

Finding nothing of value in the courtyard, we cautiously walked into the building with torches, and there were about thirty or forty houses on each floor, with wooden doors in tatters and cobwebs everywhere.

The slightest bit of movement between the two of us would cause the dust on the floor to drift up, and I would cough when I choked. At the same time, the wood on the floor makes a crunch sound when I take a step, and I always feel that the floor will break suddenly.

"Third Master Qiu, do you think the baby that the second master wants to find is hidden in this building..... Alas, it would be nice if Master Cao was here, he is very good at studying these, and we don't even know what era this building is from. ”

I casually pushed open a door, and the dust almost didn't let me ascend to heaven directly on the spot, and I hurriedly asked Dawu if he wanted a gas mask, so that he could breathe a lot easier.

Because there was only one gas mask left, Dawu ripped a piece of cloth from his trouser leg and put it on his face with a little water as a mask.

I entered the room with torches, many of the contents were shriveled, and the tables and beds were made of stone, which was the only thing in the room that I recognized, and I barely recognized anything else.

Later, we pushed open a lot of doors, and the inside was much the same, there was no difference.

The rooms on the lower three or four floors were almost the same, until we went up to the fifth floor, the layout changed slightly, and there were not many rooms on the first floor, and each door was separated by a long distance.

I was about to push the nearest door, but I suddenly saw a flash of light across from us, and I hurried to the fence to look in that direction. But torches are not flashlights, and the light can only illuminate our surroundings.

"Dawu, did you see it just now, there is light on the sixth floor opposite us!"

Dawu looked in the direction I said suspiciously, and shook his head at me: "No.... Third master, how can there be light here except for us, even if there are still six-fingered people alive here, they can't have modern lighting equipment, maybe you are mistaken. ”

I frowned, there was no light around me except for the torches we were carrying, and I could never be wrong in such an environment.

Could it be that in this tulou, there are other people besides me and Dawu?

The first thing that came to my mind was the second brother, who probably escaped from the hole in the cave and came here from somewhere else.

Thinking like this, I hurriedly pulled Dawu up and walked to the sixth floor, whether he was the second brother or not, I had to go over and have a look.

Dawu didn't refute, he held the dagger in his hand to prevent accidents.

As we walked upstairs, the planks under our feet creaked and creaked, and I thought to myself, if it were a human being, I should have heard and seen us.

I suddenly felt a little bottomless, and I saw too many weird things along the way, what if he wasn't human?

Going up to the sixth floor, Dawu and I walked to the place where we saw the light, and here was a broken door, not unlike what we saw on the first and second floors.

But on the plank in front of the wooden door, I found footprints printed on the dust, and they were disorderly, and several footprints were different, and it seemed that several people had been here.

I reacted suddenly, turned around and tried to pull the big martial arts, but there was a cold touch on the back of my head, and then I heard a cold voice in my ears.

"Housheng, you'd better not move, if you move again, Lao Tzu will shoot."
