Just now, Boss Sun was asked a lot of questions by the fat man.
Boss Sun said, to be honest, I paid a lot of money for these torches. They should be regarded as an open flame and a dark flame.
It is indeed said that the five elements and eight trigrams are ever-changing, mutually reinforcing, complementary, canceling each other out, and unpredictable.
As you continue to move along the direction of the mural, you will find that the traces of excavation around it become less obvious. It's like an abandoned mine tunnel in a giant mine. The innermost area is naturally formed and dug from the inside out.
Boss Sun's torch kept swaying, circling like a giant firefly. As we walked further in, the surrounding cave walls became smoother, and suddenly we heard the faint sound of water dripping in front of us.
It was like countless tiny water droplets forming a water ball larger than a fist and hitting a hard object heavily.
We quickened our pace now, and saw a huge black shadow lying in front of us. This black shadow had four limbs, its head held high, and it carried a bulging oval carapace on its back. On both sides of the black shadow, four tall figures stood against the wall, like guardians who had been sleeping for thousands of years.
"Old Cao, do you see a bastard lying in front of you, drinking water?" The fat man squeezed out a sentence from his throat.
I had heard a legend about the Nanyang Reservoir before. During that time, it rained heavily for three consecutive days, the water level rose sharply, and the river burst its banks. Some villagers saw a giant turtle looking up to the sky and breathing out, praying for the rain to stop, so that their nest would not collapse and their children and grandchildren would not be destroyed. Water washes away.
The huge turtle head was as big as the front of a heavy truck, and its eyes were like huge red lanterns in front of the house.
From this point of view, it is actually somewhat similar to the scene in front of me. It's possible that this stone sculpture was built to stop the rain, thus creating a desert situation.
Avril shook her head and said that it was just some rumors without factual basis. It is not an exaggeration to call them hearsay. It's better to discuss the matter and talk about what the stone sculpture in front of you has.
I laughed dryly, and even if there was any way, I had to get closer to see clearly before talking about it, but American girls are really hard to fool, and Boss Sun next to me listened with relish.
Boss Sun held up the torch and said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, everyone! In my opinion, this must be a good sign! There is water in front of us. The water droplets gather together and make money. It predicts that we will be full of money." Full, come back with a full load! In other words... Hey, why did they all slip away before I finished speaking? Wait for me..."
No one waited for Boss Sun to finish speaking, and he had already arrived in front of the giant stone sculpture in a few steps.
Looking up, there is a black gap as wide as the palm of your hand, like a slightly open mouth of a monitor lizard, where water droplets gather, as if the monitor lizard has seen its prey secreting mucus.
Drops of water penetrated the stone. For an unknown number of years, the water droplets hit the same position on the giant tortoise's carapace, and a pit larger than a fist was dented.
Under the illumination of the flashlight, it was discovered that the shape of the turtle was not Xuanwu, one of the four mythical beasts. Xuanwu is a combination of snake and turtle, and this stone sculpture looks extremely ordinary. It's more like a giant turtle with pleated carapace.
I looked carefully around the stone carvings, hoping to have better luck and find some written records. But he never thought that Fatty only studied the long neck of the turtle. When he raised the engineer shovel high, only Boss Sun exclaimed: "Fat boy! Don't cause damage!"
But as soon as he finished speaking, there was a crisp sound, and the fat man forcefully poked a large hole in the turtle's neck, and a lot of yellow sand flowed out. It's like bleeding a turtle.
The fat man shouted: "I really guessed it right, it's a crispy leather stuffed one!"
The fat man said that when he was running a boat before, he fished out everything in the sea. That time I fished out a stone monkey, which was surprisingly heavy based on its size.
It wasn't until the shell was cracked that I discovered that it was filled with broken silver, densely packed and packed extremely tightly. Even the tip of a knife cannot penetrate.
He felt something was wrong as soon as he touched this stone turtle. If he had not had previous experience and was 100% sure about it, he would not have made a heavy move.
The flowing sand on the giant turtle's neck was suddenly blocked, as if some foreign object suddenly blocked the exit. The gap was then widened, and a piece of bamboo slip was dug out.
Only I can translate these ancient texts, but it will take some time.
The characters on the bamboo slips were deeply engraved and well-preserved. After reading them in a coherent manner, I finally realized that the stone turtle was the layout of the ruins of the ancient Dian Kingdom!
The underground shape is like a turtle mountain. The head of the turtle is the ultimate secret of King Anger. The main site of the ruins is in the body of the turtle. We are here at the position of the limbs and forelimbs. The black meteorite above the head has disabled any instrument that determines the direction. According to intuition, Determine where we should be on the left forelimb.
That is to say, we have probably passed through the edge of the main site of the ruins, and may have gone completely opposite to Tang Jade and the others.
I carefully put away the bamboo slips and began to look at the four sand figurines standing against the wall around the stone turtles. The sand figurines were tall and mighty, holding bronze halberds, and the armor lines were clear. It suddenly gave me a sense of sight of the Qin Emperor's terracotta warriors and horses.
The terracotta warriors and horses of the Qin Dynasty are exquisite in workmanship. It is not an exaggeration to call them miraculous workmanship. They have bright colors before they are unearthed and have not been oxidized. They are so lifelike that they are astonishing to heaven and man, just like the living Qin Emperor's imperial guard army returning to the world.
Looking at the four statues in front of us, although the upper bodies of these sand figurines are exquisitely shaped, their facial expressions are very casual and abrupt, and their facial features can even be described as inconspicuous.
Avril was more interested in the bamboo slips than the dumb sand figurines. She patted my backpack. She thought this document was so secret. She wanted to check it out carefully to see if there were any new discoveries.
Avril has done a lot of research on Chinese things, but ancient writing cannot be solved by relying on talent. The older the writing, the rarer the information that can be consulted. It is absolutely impossible without hard work accumulated over time. I also think it is more necessary. Some luck, serendipity.
Avril Lavigne shrugged in a standard American way, blinked and asked me, "Tell me about your next plan?"
I called everyone to the side of the stone turtle and pointed at the left forelimb of the stone turtle.
The front foot on the left has a very unique shape. It is held inward and connected to the plastron. Maybe we don’t have to go back to the original road and can take a detour back to the hinterland of the ruins through the road in front.
Long Wu was silent along the way, but as soon as I finished speaking, I suddenly noticed a faint cold light in the hidden corner. This feeling was too familiar to me. It was Long Wu who had pulled out the Wujin Mountain Blade. Usually this moment means danger is coming.
I wanted to stand up, but Boss Sun said at an inappropriate time: "Huh?"
"Why is the sand gone?" Boss Sun rubbed the ground with his feet. The yellow sand flowing out of Shigui's neck seemed to suddenly disappear under his feet.
I wanted to turn my head to check, but at this moment, I heard the sound of the fat man holding the gun and opening the safety, and I screamed!
I suddenly felt a rattling sensation on the back of my neck. When I heard it again, no, it was surprisingly quiet. Even the sound of Boss Sun’s feet scraping the floor stopped abruptly!
Gan!
I subconsciously wanted to turn back, but I heard a call from behind: "Don't look back, don't look back!"
This sound was made by Fatty and Avril at the same time.
What could make them so panicked? My heart suddenly rose to my throat and my whole body started to feel numb. This feeling is indescribable, like a sword hanging over your head. You can't see it, but you can feel that death and danger are as close to your body as clothes!
The only good news is that I haven't felt anything breathing on my neck yet. I was squatting with my back to the wall. I remembered that I was only thirty centimeters away from the wall, so it was impossible for someone big to squeeze in quietly.
Unless...it's the motionless sand terracotta warriors!
This kind of torture was too unbearable for even a ten thousandth of a second. I summoned all my strength, rolled my teeth, and instantly ran away from a distance of two to three meters. I didn't dare to say any nonsense, and immediately shouted: "Fat man shoots!"
The fat man had two long guns in his hands, and the one who fired at this moment was the M4A1 he snatched from Sha Guang's mouth.
M4A1, one of the famous guns in the military world, is an assault rifle with a caliber of 5.56 mm, which is enough to sieve any prey within 600 meters.
The muzzle velocity of the gun is nearly 1 km/s. For a qualified hunter, when the prey hears the sound of the gun, its heart is ready to be broken.
At the same time as the fat man, there was also a cold light blade. Long Wu's figure shook like a thunder god pulling a deadly lightning across.
Before he could catch his breath, he quickly opened his eyes and took a clear look at the scene in front of him.
I saw that the sand figurine with no facial features turned out to be ferocious at this moment, and it chased after him with open arms. The yellow sand in the neck of the stone turtle turned out to be the password to activate them.
Facts have proved that shooting is useless. When the bullet passes through the head, sand will splash out, leaving just a hole.
Long Wu's black gold mountain cutting blade was supposed to be used to block gods and kill gods and Buddhas, but at this moment, there was nothing he could do about this monster made of yellow sand.
The only thing about Amitabha is that these sand figurines seem to have lost the ability to control the bronze halberds and all fight with bare hands. Otherwise, my neck would have been cut off by the bronze weapon just now!
There was no time to escape from such a close distance. Our first attack in the first round failed and ended in a crazy counterattack by four sand figurines.
Avril and I were the first to bear the brunt and were tightly entangled. The sand figurine opened its mouth wide and yellow sand was scattered on my shoulders and hair.
There was no time to shout out the word "bad", I just felt that my scalp had been bitten hard!
