Chapter 52 Shushan Black Miao(1/2)
We followed the route through the bamboo forest and came to Xianyu Cave.
The cave walls are carved with cliff statues from the Ming Dynasty and reliefs from the story "Journey to the West", which are indeed meaningful to tourists, but we had no intention of taking pictures at this time.
We searched around the cave and found no useful clues.
"There seems to be nothing, why does Mao want us to come here? I even suspect that the bamboo stick guest is a tour guide, and he is here to let us visit the special attractions here." Erpang was very impatient.
"Little sir, look carefully, it seems that a piece of the relief here is missing."
I looked according to Ah Hui's direction, and sure enough, on one of the reliefs, the eyes of the white dragon horse were missing.
But judging from the size, the missing eye of White Dragon Horse does not match the size of the ivory eye, at least it is not a mechanism or something.
Maybe it was at least old and damaged.
That's what I thought.
But Shang Qingyun didn't think so. He asked me for the ivory eyes, then jumped onto the relief. Fortunately, there was no one on the mountain road at this time, otherwise someone might have come to take us away.
Shang Qingyun aimed his ivory eyes at Bai Longma's eyes and pressed them up.
I was afraid that he would damage the ivory eye if he used too much force, but the ivory eye fit perfectly on the white dragon horse relief. When he took it off, the middle eye part had been inlaid, leaving a gap.
ball.
"Why do you use this?" I asked him.
Shang Qingyun returned it to me and pointed to the sun in the sky.
I pointed the ivory eye at the sun and found that it was translucent!
Under the sunlight, I can see different worlds through my ivory eyes. A piece of sparkling water emerges under the green bamboo forest, leading only to the deep mountain wilderness.
"That's the way!"
We followed the path pointed out by the light spot and went down to Xianyu Cave. We found a remote trail that led down to the wilderness near the scenic spot called Wangyou Valley.
But the further you go, the denser the bamboo forest becomes and the less light there is, and finally the path pointed out by the ivory eye is completely unclear.
"There is no way." I said.
But the people around me didn't respond to me, and Ah Hui next to me pulled me.
I took away the ivory eye in confusion, and then froze.
We are now in a dense mountain forest. The surrounding lush bamboo leaves block out the sky and form a path. The rammed earth planted with bamboo forests on both sides is higher, forming a ditch under our feet.
The ditch was covered with fallen leaves, and what was faintly exposed under the fallen leaves were bones.
"It's a human bone." Liu Sa identified it. "Animal bones don't have this size. The shape and size should be human calf bones. But don't be nervous, these bones are from a long time ago."
"How early was it a long time ago?"
"Well... there are many old ones." Liu Sa took one in one hand, "This one must have been from thousands of years ago at least."
Ah Hui felt relieved after hearing this.
"This is from decades ago." Ah Hui became nervous again after hearing this.
"How many decades ago?!"
"An Xinxi leads the way~ Maybe it's just an ordinary burial pit," Liu Sa said.
Ah Hui calmed down again after hearing this.
But I knew that Liu Sa was lying to him. These bones were obviously not buried, but discarded at will. But this is a scenic spot, and there cannot be mass graves.
I squatted down and picked up a piece of bone, and found that there were notches on the bone, and it said in traditional Chinese: "There is a traitor." I also drew a symbol that I cared about very much next to it.
A shovel, the handle of the shovel is shaped like a copper coin.
It’s Tongyuan!
I told Er Pang and the others about this discovery. Thinking of You Rumeng's attitude towards us before and being pulled into the red list, we realized that it was very likely that the traitor from Tongyuan still existed in Heimiao.
These bones are undoubtedly the remains of the Black Miao people.
As if to confirm our statement, we did find some silver ornaments in the soil. The patterns and shapes all belong to the traditional costumes of the Miao people.
"Hey, I know there are no free lunches in the world, only idiots. Let's let others eat them! This is asking us to die. If we are killed by Tongyuan like these people, I'm afraid we will die without a burial.
place."
"Then what can we do? Don't go? What should I do with salted fish disease?" Erpang waved his fist, "Even if it is a fire pit, you still have to jump. Whoever dares to make a mistake, I, the monk, and the little Taoist priest will kill them, don't you think so, Xiaodao
long?"
"Um."
"Forget it, I have no choice but to sacrifice my life to accompany the gentleman~" Liu Sa had no choice but to say, "I see that there is no need for a map here. The roads are straight, so just keep going forward. I brought water and dry food, Ah Hui's place
There are tents. It’s still far away from Shushan, so let’s walk slowly.”
We confirmed the route and items we brought, and then walked to Shushan Mountain.
I thought it would take at least one day based on our journey.
After all, from Shunan Bamboo Sea to Shushan, it spans the two cities of Yibin and Meishan.
But what we didn't expect was that this road was not as far as we thought.
We pitched a tent in a bamboo forest for the night, and walked to a mountain the next morning.
Looking up, you can see the peaks of Wanling Mountain and the mountains of Mount Emei.
"No way. Is it possible that there is a wormhole here? It shortens our journey?"
We were surprised.
What was originally a long journey turned out to be closer than we imagined after changing a route.
It only took more than half a day to hike across Wanling Mountain and Emei Mountain. It was as if when we entered this trail, the long and meaningless stretch of road in the middle was virtually erased.
We crossed the mountain stream and a path appeared on the opposite side.
Following this path, we quickly crossed Mount Emei and saved the time and energy of climbing the valley. The journey was smooth and smooth, as if we were walking on flat ground.
As we walked, the road ahead suddenly became clear.
What appeared in front of us was a field of flowers, whether it was a wilderness or a flower field planted on a mountain road.
At that moment we seemed to have stepped into another world.
Quiet valleys, magnificent flower fields, and in the distance visible to the naked eye are very retro thatched houses and adobe houses mainly made of wood or earth. The roofs and houses are decorated with jade, ivory, and silver items.
The architectural structure is very consistent with the impression of the Miao border exotic style.
For a moment, we couldn't tell whether we were in Shushan or following a path into a secluded village.
"Oh my God, I've run into a TV series!" Ah Hui looked around in shock.
We couldn't help but step into the flower field.
The flowers and plants here grow extremely lush, almost as tall as a person.
Walking into the flower field, the view is also blocked.
I had just walked a little deeper into the flower field when someone suddenly knocked me down from behind.
When I saw it, it was Shang Qingyun.
"Careful! Get down!"
Before Shang Qingyun finished speaking, I heard a whizzing sound in the air.
In the blink of an eye, the area around us was filled with arrows and stones.
We got up in shock, and before we had time to look out, we saw a silver light flying towards my face.
Shang Qingyun reacted strangely, raised his hand to push me away, and then used two fingers to use the flying object, which turned out to be a flying knife.
Shang Qingyun did not hesitate in his movements. He turned his wrist upside down and threw the flying knife with his backhand.
His actions were all completed in an instant, and even the person throwing the knife didn't react.
I heard something falling in a certain direction, and Shang Qingyun immediately chased after it.
As soon as he left, a group of people came running from a distance.
These people have dark skin, their arms and faces are painted with patterns similar to paint, and they are all wearing Miao costumes.
These people surrounded us and did not come close to us. They opened their bows and arrows and kept talking without knowing what to say.
After all, we can't beat four hands with only one fist, not to mention these people are all long-range weapons, so we have no choice but to capture them without mercy.
Before he was arrested, Ah Hui was crying and begging these people not to kill us, but they didn't seem to understand what we were saying.
They only tied up our hands and feet in various ways, took a big stick and passed it through the gaps between our hands and feet like picking pigs, and carried the three of us away.
etc.
We—three?
I just found out that Liu Sa is gone!
