"What should we do next?" Wu Xiaoxie was a little bored and used matches to burn the bits of hair stuck to the soles of Tie Yi's feet. It was a bit fun to chase one after another.
"You can't do anything big like this right now. Why don't you let your people come up and take you down to recover?"
Jie Yuchen leaned against his backpack with his eyes closed, looking like he was asleep, but he still answered Wu Xiaoxie, "Wait, there should be news from Granny Huo soon, there is no need for us to go in now.
”
Wu Xiaoxie nodded. The end of the hole was the iron plate. It was clear at a glance. They couldn't deal with the difficult things underneath now. There was really no need to go in and increase casualties.
He remembered that Mrs. Huo said that the two teams needed to cooperate with each other, and he didn't know how.
There has been no news from Banai, and Zhang Zhuo and the others don't know what's going on. For some reason, Wu Xiaoxie always feels a little uneasy.
But then I thought again, since the ancient Zhang family building is the ancestral tomb of his old Zhang family, there should be no reason to prevent his descendants from entering.
With the skills of the little brother and Muyu, plus Fatty's destructive power, if they can't get in like this, then no one he knows who is a good tomb robber will be able to get in.
Wu Xiaoxie suppressed the bad thoughts in her heart, took out a thin blanket from the package and covered Jie Yuchen, and then closed her eyes to rest.
After waiting quietly for another two hours, the Jie family guy who had been notified before climbed up on the rope. He was extremely tired.
The clerk was shocked when he saw the situation above. After asking about Yuchen, he immediately arranged for people to hoist more supplies and medicines up.
The space up there was really cramped, so the guy went down again after delivering the supplies.
In the next few days, Wu Xiaoxie and the two of them were like birdmen living in an eagle's nest, only able to move around in a small space.
There are abyss all around. Apart from eating and sleeping every day, I just stare at the snowy scenery on the top of the distant mountains in a daze, or play boring Tetris.
The scenery is beautiful and the people are relaxed. It feels like you are on a happy vacation at the top of the mountain.
The strong wind blows through the trees, and the dense canopy is like an endless green wave. Once in a while, you put aside all your worries, and you can suddenly feel the open-minded and generous state of mind of some virtuous practitioners who pursue the realm of unity between man and nature. p>
The only painful thing is the problem of going to the toilet. This situation destroys all the beauty. It is unbearable to look at. It is also dangerous and difficult. I am always worried that I will fall and be shattered, and my innocence will be lost.
﹉﹉﹉
While Wu Xiaoxie and the others were waiting, there was Banai.
Zhang Zhuxun led a group of people to the entrance of the ancient tree to join Mrs. Huo's team.
The ancient trees have been cut and moved away by the engineering team with large tools, and the valley bottoms under the cliff slopes were asked to be leveled to clear enough space for camping.
When Zhang Zhu found her, Mrs. Huo was sitting steadily under the awning enjoying the cool air.
The entrance to the cave was really big enough, and it was carefully reinforced and repaired. It looked like the entrance to a haunted house, except for a sign beside it with the four characters "Welcome" written on it.
The weather was so hot that Zhang Zhuxun went over to drink a cup of the old lady's herbal tea and asked, "How is the situation inside? Where are the little brother and the fat man?"…
"It's not out yet." Huo Xiangu said calmly, "But it's coming soon. The photos have been sent to Siguniang Mountain."
Zhang Zhuoxun approached the entrance of the cave and looked inside. He heard the faint sound of tapping on the rock wall from deep inside, "The inside is not finished yet?"
This time it was Huo Zhizhi who answered him, "The distance from here to the tombstone is more than 700 meters. It is a big project to repair and strengthen all the tombstones. The head of the family has already dispatched another group of people, and those two are also involved in the command.
,According to the progress, we can go in before three o'clock in the afternoon."
Zhang Zhu said, "I'll go in and take a look."
Huo Zhizhi didn't stop him. He took a walkie-talkie from the table on the side and handed it to Zhang Chuxun, "Keep in touch at any time."
Zhang Zhuoxun nodded, took the walkie-talkie, and put some food into his backpack.
Then he walked straight in.
The technicians under Huo Xiangu were indeed professional. Not only was the cave spacious, but they also installed lights on both sides of the cave wall in a very humane way. They were connected to the solar power generation system outside. There were lights every ten meters, illuminating the cold passage.
Be bright and bright.
Gradually going in, the passage began to slowly shrink, but it was still not a problem for four or five people to walk side by side. I guess Mrs. Huo did this to facilitate the transportation of those large tools.
After advancing for more than a hundred meters, the originally straight passage began to turn and gradually began to trend downward. The slope began to become steeper, and the temperature inside also dropped significantly.
Zhang Zhuxun was originally wearing short-sleeved shirts, so when he saw this, he took out a black jacket from his backpack and put it on, speeding up his pace.
The further you go in, the more turns you make, and some places are even straight up steep steps. At the same time, some simple carvings and murals begin to appear on the cave walls, but they are relatively ordinary. I guess the Huo family has already taken pictures of them and taken them out for study.
Eight hundred times.
The sound of knocking on the rock wall became louder and louder, and Zhang Zhuxun could already hear the fat man's complaints mixed with it.
"Hey, shoot like this, it's bright here, it makes the fat man look more handsome."
Huo Xiaoli couldn't bear it anymore, "Can you have some morals? We are here to take information, not to make you look bad."
"Hey, you little kid, don't you understand this? Fatty is giving you a chance to practice your photography skills. Don't be ignorant." The fat man yelled.
Hearing the familiar voice, Zhang Zhuxun couldn't hide his joy. He turned the last corner in a few steps and saw the fat figure in the crowd and the little brother leaning against the rock wall with a knife on his back. The little brother who had drooped eyelids felt something, raised his eyes and looked over, and when he saw that it was Zhang Zhuoxun, he stood up straight.
"Brother!"
"Fat man!"
Zhang Zhuoxun waved his hands happily, "I'm back."
Everyone's eyes at the end of the passage turned around.
The fat man looked back and immediately shouted in surprise. He rushed towards Zhang Zhuxun and gave him a hug. He patted his back hard and said, "Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh! You are back. Fatty will remember you every day. If you don't
Come, my little brother and I are going down the mountain to find you."
Zhang Zhuoxun gritted his teeth and clapped back, "No, you and my little brother are both here, how could I not come?"
The fat man bared his teeth and turned to greet the younger brother, "Come on, come on. When Muyu was away a few days ago, you didn't know who was standing at the mountain pass looking down every day. This time they came, and you hid again. Hurry up.
Come here, let the three of us hug each other."…
Zhang Zhuoxun looked at the younger brother with a smile and opened an arm.
The little brother pursed his lips, stepped forward, and was hugged by Zhang Zhuxun.
The three of them bumped heads. The fat man stretched out his hand on Zhang Zhuxun's back, opened the zipper, took out two chocolates from his backpack, and threw one to the younger brother.
Zhang Zhuxun directly took off his backpack, and the three of them found a place to sit down.
Huo Xiaoli had a good sense of Zhang Zhuxun, so he came over with a smile and said hello, "Master Yu."
Zhang Zhuxun took out the food he had brought to the two of them, and then handed the rest to him along with his backpack, "I've been working hard all morning, let's have something to eat and take a break."
"Thank you, Mr. Yu."
After all, he was a child. When he saw so many snacks in his backpack, Huo Xiaoli immediately smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed, and he ran back and distributed the things to several other people.
The fat man pulled out two boxes of self-heating rice, poured water for himself and his little brother, and chuckled, "The self-heating rice you brought is authentic. The Huo family's rice tastes like it contains raw meat."
The three of them chatted while eating. The fat man talked about the big and small things that happened in the past few days when Zhang Zhuxun was away. At the end, he sighed, "You didn't catch up when I took pictures this morning. Tianzhen was probably talking about it every day by himself."
Here are the three of us."
As he spoke, he lowered his voice and said to Zhang Zhu: "I think the old woman is very determined to go to the grave this time. In the past two days while you were away, another group of people came to the Huo family. You can tell from walking that there are more people than before.
A few rookies are more than just a little bit better, they are all full
They are all dangerous people with murderous faces, and the fat man has almost never seen the weapons brought in with the team, and he has no idea of their specific use."
"I haven't seen the kind of jade veins that hide Milotuo along the way. I guess they are all behind this sealing stone."
Hearing this, Zhang Zhuoxun raised his head to look at the stone-carved door at the end of the passage.
The carvings on the front stone wall are in the form of reliefs that protrude outward. The whole is in the shape of a very large disk. There are many patterns on it, all of which look like various mountains and sea birds and beasts. The ones near the outer edge look a bit blurry.
.
The key point is the four pictures in the middle. Although the depictions are abstract, Zhang Zhuxun can still recognize them. If you look at them clockwise, the animal at the top twelve o'clock is a "yellow".
There are generally two opinions about the ancient ferocious beast "犼". One is that it is the ancestor of Qilin because it looks very similar to Qilin. It feeds on dragons and is the nemesis of dragons. However, some scholars believe that Qilin is the ancestor of Qilin.
The ancestor should be Yinglong, and the symbolic meanings of the two beasts are also different. Kirin has generally been an auspicious and benevolent image since ancient times, while Jian is just the opposite.
Another theory is that the rice dumpling is related to the drought demon and is a special kind of rice dumpling that can also bring disaster.
The figure in the relief is bound by something that looks like a chain, and is connected to the iron plate relief at the bottom.
The relief in the second picture is the same as the first one. The carvings are nine people without right hands, all bare-chested. Their shapes look very strong and powerful. The scenes range from near to far. Although they are running away, they are not
There is no panic, and it can be seen from the running posture that he is at ease.
It can be seen that the craftsmen who carved these reliefs have excellent skills, and they can vividly portray the charm of the characters in just a few strokes...
The third picture, which is the relief at six o'clock, still has people on it, but there are a lot of them. It is obviously not the same group as the previous ones, because the right hands of these people are intact, and their clothes are also different. They look like
They are an ethnic minority with very strange crowns.
Because the clothes were a little vague, Zhang Zhuxun couldn't tell whether these people were Miao or Yao, but he was more inclined to think they were ancient Miao.
The relationship between the Zhang family and the Miao people can be traced back to more than a thousand years ago.
After the death of King Mu of Zhou, the Zhang family, as his confidants during his lifetime, took the secret of protecting King Mu and moved to Guangxi, which was still in the wilderness at that time, in order to avoid the war in the Central Plains. With their strong strength, they quickly won the recognition of King Miao.
and respect, and from then on took root, taking advantage of the Miao's territory to hide their strength and bide their time, and during this period, they continued to send tribesmen to penetrate into all levels of external forces.
By going to the tomb, the Zhang family discovered countless secrets of various dynasties, and could even intervene to change history. It was like an invisible net that penetrated all key points of society and firmly controlled everything until the Ming Dynasty was inadvertently controlled by Wang Zanghai.
Notice.
The Zhang family did all this to wait for the rebirth of Emperor Mu of Zhou three thousand years later. However, what they didn't know was that King Mu's tomb had been discovered by King Lu Shang as early as the Spring and Autumn Period after the Western Zhou Dynasty. King Lu Shang knew about immortality.
After revealing the secret, the original mausoleum was directly borrowed with Tie Miansheng's advice. Emperor Mu was pulled out of the jade figurine before he could be resurrected.
However, King Lu Shang was also tricked by his subordinate Tie Miansheng. In the end, Tie Miansheng, who was lying in a bronze meteorite coffin, did not survive and was strangled to death by his younger brother.
And it was revealed in the original plot that Chen Pi Asi went to Jing'er Palace to steal treasures and got a treasure letter from it, which contained the first snake-eyebrow copper fish.
When Chen Pi Asi came out, he was caught on the spot by the Miao people, and his eyes were injured by the Miao leader with a knife. However, based on the subsequent situation in Yunding Tiangong, Zhang Zhuxun felt that Chen Pi Asi's eyes were not blind. p>
But according to Jin Wantang's story, the Miao leader who injured Chen Pi'asi had a tattoo of a unicorn dancing in the firelight.
Moreover, the old Panma whom Zhang Zhuxun and the others saw in Yangjiao Mountain also had a unicorn on his body. It is said that this unicorn was stabbed on the young Panma by a Miao wizard in order to repay his kindness.
Combined with the relief in front of us, the craftsman used the method of overlapping composition here to further emphasize the large number of people, and these people were standing, squatting, and lying, holding long knives in their hands.
It looks like it's hiding something.
In terms of composition, these three reliefs have independent meanings, but the decorative lines between them are very harmonious and natural, seeming to imply another layer of meaning.
Zhang Zhuoxun speculated that this might be a hunt.
Although Jian was chained to the iron plate, his head was facing towards the nine people without right hands, and he was in a pursuit state. The nine people were in the middle, and their escape direction was towards those who were ambushing on the ground.
Ethnic Swordsman.
If the nine strong men without right hands represent the Zhang family, then they are using themselves as bait to capture this huge beast together with the ethnic minorities.
Thinking of this, Zhang Zhuoxun couldn't help but frowned. Could it be that the combination of these three pictures is telling the origin of the Zhang family's unicorn tattoo?
However, totem reliefs and the like usually exaggerate the facts. How did the unicorn tattoo come about? We can only go back in time and ask the oldest ancestor of the Zhang family.
