This is another stone related to snakes, snake treasure?
Professor Ye was completely confused. In a person's life, it is very rare to see venomous snakes in the wild. Picking up a snake treasure can be said to be one in a million, but Wang Ke encountered the most deadly snake. Yes, among those five stones, three of them chemically reacted with Wang Ke's saliva to turn into "cat's eye stones". What else is this if not a romance from heaven?
The transparent snake stone now is different from the five dark red snake stones found in Nanshao Village before. It is transparent, like crystal and diamond, and has no color in its entire body.
Gu Maolin smiled secretly, he also had some in his hand. This is the third time I have encountered this kind of snake stone since I met platoon leader Wang Ke. This is the strangest and cutest thing this time.
Professor Wen took the snake stone. He really doubted his eyes now. With his eyes honed over decades of archeology, he really didn't recognize this texture. It's not diamond, jade, crystal, or glass. In his impression, there seems to be no such material.
Professor Wen nodded and handed the snake stone to Ye Rongguang. And it was still difficult for Ye Rongguang to connect the stone in his hand with the fear of the dog just now.
But one thing is that Ye Rongguang now has unlimited trust in Wang Ke, because he has proven it once in Nanshao Village, and later there was a photo of the half-length snake tail taken by Ye Xianqian to prove it.
"What can this snake stone be used for?" Ye Rongguang raised the transparent, not too hard "snake stone" in his hand, as if talking to himself or asking Wang Ke.
"It can detoxify." Gu Maolin interjected.
"Detoxification?"
"Yes, it can detoxify." Gu Maolin finally got a chance to speak. He told Wang Ke about the embarrassing situation when he and Wang Ke were training in Poison Lake because he forcibly changed gas masks with Wang Ke, putting the platoon leader in danger and finally went into poisonous shock. .
"You mean, it was you who stuffed the snake stone into Xiao Wang Ke's mouth, and he woke up, and the transparent stone turned red again."
"Yes, by the way, the stone was still beating in the platoon leader's right breast pocket. Our squad leader Song Ruimin even said it was the squad leader's heart beating."
"Are you sure it's not a heartbeat?" Ye Xuanqian asked from the side.
"The beating of the heart cannot be seen through the clothes. And the heart is not on the right side." Ye Rongguang stared at his daughter with dissatisfaction and spoke without thinking.
"Yes, yes, our old platoon leader said the same thing at that time?"
"Wang Ke, tell me, how many such snake stones have you found in total?"
"Six yuan, but I gave one yuan to each of my two comrades, I took one yuan with me, and I still have three yuan at home." Wang Ke answered truthfully.
"Well, no matter what, you give me a piece this time. I want to take it back for research." Professor Ye Rongguang said.
"Uncle Ye, give it all to you. I originally wanted you to take it back for study, but I was afraid it would bring danger to you, so..."
"No, no, no, give me one of those colorful snake stones, one of the cat's eye stones, one of the golden cobras, and keep the others." Professor Ye Rongguang was not greedy.
"Brother Bing, can you give me a piece?" Ye Qianqian frowned and came closer.
"Okay, if one day a cockscomb snake or a golden cobra runs under your bed, don't blame me." Wang Ke scared her, sincerely speaking, he didn't want to cause trouble for her.
"I'm not afraid. I'm not afraid of being together." As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly realized that he was going to sleep with Wang Ke, and his face immediately turned red.
"Hahaha" Professor Wen and Professor Ye Rongguang both laughed.
"Hey, can't you smell the stench?" Ye changed the subject. In fact, how could the smelly dog poop not stink?
Everyone smiled knowingly again.
Everyone got into the hole one after another.
Wang Ke came to the cave with a familiar road. He first introduced his findings, and finally came to the stone bed, took out the flashlight in Gu Maolin's hand, and said to the carved picture above his head: "This is that picture."
Professor Wen and Professor Ye Rongguang raised their heads and looked carefully. But Ye just took out the flash and put it on the camera, adjusted the angle, aimed at the picture and took several pictures in succession.
"You have to go up to the stone and lie down to see, you will see more clearly." Gu Maolin said.
When Professor Wen heard this, he immediately lay down on it. Under the light of the flashlight, sure enough, this strange picture came to life. "Well, it is indeed as you said, this should be a picture of playing with a snake, which means that he is playing with a snake."
"Daddy Wen, are you sure this person is playing with a snake, or a cobra?" Wang Ke asked, because many people initially thought he was smoking a dry pipe against a tree.
"It's hard to say whether it's a cobra, but judging from this picture, it looks very similar to an Indian artist's snake charmer." Professor Wen said and stood up to let Professor Ye Rongguang take a look.
At that time, not many people knew about the Indian art of playing the snake charmer "Pengji", a national musical instrument that looks like a gourd.
"Professor Wen and Professor Ye, they all said they look like me." Gu Maolin added.
"It's not like that, it's not like that." Professor Ye Rongguang said with a smile on the stone bed.
"I'm not talking about looks, they said they look like me when I play the flute." Gu Maolin was not modest at all.
"Can you play the flute?" Ye Rongguang raised his body.
"Xiao Gu can play." Professor Wen saw it and immediately proved it.
When they said this, Wang Ke's heart lit up. Gu Maolin could not only play the flute, but also speak snake language. If you go into the eagle's mouth and blow on the flute, will the golden cobra come out?
In addition, the flute is made of bamboo, and bamboo has always been the ancestor of snakes in folklore. If you use a bamboo pole to beat a snake, the snake will not dare to resist. Thinking of this, Wang Ke suddenly had a bold idea. If he accompanied Gu Maolin up and played a "Snake Calling Song", I wonder if it would be effective. This would be much safer than Dr. Zhang going up to catch the snake.
Thinking of this, he immediately said: "Uncle Ye, in the future we can let Gu Maolin try it on Eagle Mouth."
"Try it? Safety first, take a long-term approach and don't be reckless."
After reading the picture, Ye Rongguang jumped off the stone bed and went down to the cave within the cave with Professor Wen.
Looking back now and looking at this hole-in-a-hole, it’s obvious. There are people living up there. And if it is covered with a board, even if a stranger comes in, under dim light, you may not be able to find a hole underneath.
Several people looked around and found nothing, including the rotten tools. Except for what Professor Wen said, this cave looked like an unfinished robbery cave with almost nothing of value.
Why was this robbery hole not completed? Where did the owner of the Robbery Cave go? It's all a big mystery.
"Xiao Wang Ke, didn't you say that there are some scratches inside the Muling? Take us to see it." Professor Wen said, and climbed out of the cave with some regret.
After everyone came out, Wang Ke and Gu Maolin blocked the hole with the stones again, and then the five of them walked back to the south wall of the cemetery along the way they came.
Professor Wen looked back and said to himself. "It doesn't look like robbing a cave, because it's far away instead of the near. Tomb robbers can dig holes directly from the underground palace. Why go so far?"
When Uncle Geng left, he threw away the key to the cemetery. Now entering the cemetery, Wang Ke will open the door.
Everyone first followed Wang Ke to the Shi Wu Gong at the back. Wang Ke took Professor Wen to see the scratches on the Shi Wu Gong, and then came to the flat bridge next to the Yudai River.
Yudai River is also called Yudai River.
This river is very similar to the Jinshui Bridge in front of Tiananmen Square in Kyoto. It is an artificially excavated dry river. The three stone bridges erected out of thin air use the most primitive artificial method to transform Feng Shui. At the same time, the water in the underground palace is diverted through Longxugou. Expelling it can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
Gu Maolin took out the rope he had prepared long ago, lowered the group down one by one, and put all the things everyone brought aside.
Wang Ke took it to the northernmost stone bridge, pointed at the scratches, and said to Professor Wen, "Godfather, look, does it look like the one on the Five Stones?"
Regardless of the resemblance, it was clearly carved by the same person.
"What do you have to say? Wang Ke." Professor Wen looked at it carefully for a while, then turned to ask Wang Ke.
"Daddy Wen, look." Wang Ke understood. He pointed in the direction of the scratch in the middle and came under the stone head of the "water-avoiding beast" on the west side of the river. The animal head was more than one meter away from the river edge, but still more than four meters high from the bottom of the river.
"What does this mean?" Professor Wen raised his head and looked up again and again, puzzled.
Because on rainy days, the water-avoiding beast's mouth is connected to the Dragon Beard Ditch at the back, and all drainage flows out through the stone beast's mouth.
Wang Ke thought of Chongling's last scratch on the side wall of the screen wall, and the middlemost scratch, pointing to the location of the robbery hole, and his imagination suddenly opened up.
"Daddy Wen, could it be that the water-avoiding beast's head is connected not to the Dragon Beard Ditch but to the tunnel at the entrance to the underground palace?"
Professor Wen laughed, and Professor Ye Rongguang also laughed. How could it be possible?
After taking pictures of the scratches under the bridge, Ye Xianzhang came under the head of the water-avoiding beast and took another photo.
While taking pictures, he said: "Everything is possible. Maybe the back is empty and there is a treasure box hidden."
Wang Ke tilted his head and looked at Ye Qianpian, and then said to Maolin standing at the edge of the ditch: "Pull the rope over here."
"Yes, Platoon Commander, do you want to come up and take a look?"
That's right, Wang Ke just wanted to see if there was anything hidden under or around the head of this water-avoiding beast? Otherwise, what does the scratch mean?
"Let's do this. Hang me up first and I will assist Xiao Gu." Professor Ye Rongguang suggested.
Well, Wang Ke and Professor Wen tied up Ye Rongguang first, pushed it down, pulled it up, and went up.
Then, Wang Ke tied himself up and let Professor Gu Maolin and Ye Rongguang pull him, and quickly came to the side of the water-avoiding beast. Wang Ke took his flashlight and knocked around the water-avoiding beast, but there was no hollow sound.
Strangely, the scratch clearly points to this place, but there is nothing here.
Wang Ke was hung in mid-air, and the rope tightened around his armpits, which was very uncomfortable. He looked towards both ends of the bridge next to him, and there were the same water-avoiding beasts there, covered with moss due to dripping water all year round.
"Put me down first." Wang Ke shouted, and the rope slowly loosened. Arriving at the bottom of the river, Wang Ke raised his head and continued to look upward. Looking at the water-avoiding beast head that he just saw. This animal head is no different from other water-avoiding animal heads, and the craftsmanship is exactly the same.
"Did you see anything strange?" Professor Wen asked.
Wang Ke shook his head. Over the past hundred years, the Yudai River has changed, becoming mottled and weathered, but these water-avoiding beasts are still lifelike.
"It's strange, since the scratch is pointing there, there must be a reason." Wang Ke said to himself. Professor Wen was also pondering in the river, but he was comparing two and two, and kept looking at the row of water-avoiding animal heads on the river bank.
"Xiao Wang Ke, do you see anything?" Godfather Wen suddenly shouted, startling Ye Xianqiang beside him.
"I see!" Wang Ke also shouted, and then he pointed at Gu Maolin. "Hang me up again."
Professor Gu Maolin and Ye Rongguang above didn't know what Wang Ke meant, so they hurriedly took action. Wang Ke came to the stone of the water-avoiding beast again. This time, instead of shining a flashlight inside, Wang Ke put his hand into the water-avoiding beast's mouth. However, the space was too small and he couldn't reach it with one hand. Go in.
Wang Ke turned around and shouted to Professor Wen in the river: "Is it dry in here?"
Except for Professor Wen, everyone else understood what it meant. Are you so excited about this?
Putting it down again, Wang Ke hurriedly said to Professor Wen: "The biggest difference between this water-avoiding beast and other water-avoiding beasts is that there is no dragon beard groove behind it, but a solid one, so it does not grow moss."
"you sure?"
"I'm sure it was done behind it too."
"Um."
