The sound of the flute drew my attention away from the canvas bag next to me and into the distance.
Now that I have a hernia lamp on hand, my vision is much better. I looked around with the hernia lamp and found that within a radius of about a hundred meters, there were all two-headed Buddha statues.
There are big and small ones, but the shape is basically the same, with two heads, two hands and one body, looking down. I don’t know if it’s an angle problem or some other reason, but no matter which direction the Buddha statues are looking down at the ground, they are all looking at me right in the eye.
.
I looked around, and suddenly I felt that these Buddha statues seemed to be staring at me. It seemed that when the builders built these Buddha statues, they had already calculated that there would be an alien invader thousands of years later.
The Buddha will stay on a lotus pedestal, so all the Buddha statues are deliberately cast to look down in this direction.
Moreover, I don’t know if it’s because of my psychological influence, but I feel that the expressions on the faces of these Buddha statues are slowly changing. From the benevolent look I saw at the beginning, they gradually turned into ferocious ones.
In fact, I have been stared at for a long time, and I always feel that if the builder can predict that I will appear on this lotus seat thousands of years later, then he will definitely not let me go so easily, so next,
Something is bound to happen.
This kind of premonition is actually very bad. In addition to being unlucky, the most important thing is that it caused huge psychological pressure on me and made me suspicious. Coupled with the sound of the flute that came and went, it made me even more worried.
My heart was in a state of turmoil and I couldn't settle down.
And later facts also proved that it was precisely because my heart was not really calm at this moment that I missed the message that the flute really wanted to convey to me. This also made me take a long detour later. Finally,
I also lost my grandfather.
This is a knot that I can never untie in my life.
In a person's life, there are always some things like this that you don't take seriously at the time, but later when you review the road you have traveled, you will realize that these small things that seemed inconspicuous at the time are actually...
The key point that determines the path of your life.
Just when I was still immersed in the intimidation of the sharp gazes of the densely packed two-headed Buddha statues around me, I suddenly discovered that at some point, a crocodile had sprung out from behind each of the Buddha statues, including the one where I was.
one place.
In an instant, I was so frightened that my hands and feet were weak.
There are so many crocodiles, and they all look hungry. With my skinny appearance, even a hundred crocodiles won't be enough to fit between their teeth.
What's more, I'm the only one now.
The eyes of these crocodiles were exactly the same as the two-headed Buddha next to them, and they were all drifting towards me.
God, I am the compassionate Buddha. Do you really dare to do these murderous things at the feet of the Lord Buddha?
My heart was pounding, and I felt like I couldn't deal with the one next to me.
However, after taking a closer look, these crocodiles seem to be relatively small, and it feels like-
It feels like an alligator.
The alligator was known as the squid in ancient times, and is commonly known as "Tulong" or "Zhubolong" among the people. It is a small crocodile unique to China and is listed as a national first-level protected wild animal.
Historically, alligators were widely distributed in the Yellow River, Huaihe River, Yangtze River and Qiantang River basins in eastern China. However, with human activities and climate change, they have gradually shrunk to the lower Yangtze River basin. Currently, the survival status of alligators is very endangered, with the total number of wild populations
Less than 300 individuals, of which less than 100 are adults.
However, there are so many crocodiles in front of me, it feels like there are hundreds of them. Are all the existing wild alligators hiding at the bottom of Poyang Lake?
This is too incredible.
Just when my thoughts were still in confusion, the alligator who was in the lotus seat with me took the lead and attacked me.
I have never seen an alligator in real life, but the speed of this alligator in front of me made me a little dazzled.
I almost didn't notice it moving, and the alligator was already lying at my feet. This was nothing. What made me feel horrified was that at the moment the alligator moved, several lotuses around me
The alligators on the seat were all lying around the lotus seat where I was at this time, looking at them with eager eyes.
My mother!
After living for more than thirty years, it would be a worthwhile life to be able to experience teleportation before dying.
This is a true portrayal of my heart at this moment.
It's not that I'm waiting for death, but there is really no way to escape.
However, people are always afraid of death, or this is more accurate, I am still very afraid of death. Therefore, in the face of death, even if I feel that there is no chance of survival, I always have to struggle hard.
Therefore, at this very critical moment, I could almost feel the alligator drooling, and I suddenly thought of the dark red stone piece.
It doesn’t matter if it’s useful or not, just take it out anyway.
I didn't make any other considerations, and with the mentality of treating a dead horse as a live horse doctor, I took out the small stone piece on my body, which was only as big as my palm.
As a result, I witnessed a miracle again.
The group of alligators surrounding me suddenly dispersed almost as if they had seen a ghost. They jumped from the lotus seat into the water like a fallen tree. I don't know if they were sinking to the bottom or lurking.
Around me, it just disappears in front of my eyes anyway.
I didn't expect that this small, inconspicuous piece of stone could actually have such a great effect. First I used it to drive away green snakes, and now I used it to scare away alligators. No wonder everyone is looking for it.
In fact, when I got here, I had already vaguely noticed that there might be something wrong with this stone piece, or the astrolabe as grandma said.
Because whether they are green snakes or alligators, they are said to be very spiritual animals, and the fact that they are so afraid of this stone proves that they have been hurt by this thing before, or that they have seen their companions hurt by this thing.
However, it should have been a relatively brutal injury, which would make them feel as if they had seen a ghost when they saw this stone piece.
However, I brought this thing out of the ancient pagoda of the Wawushan Ancient Temple, and this dark red stone piece was buried very secretly by the owner of the ancient temple. Logically speaking, it should not have seen sunlight in these hundreds of years. Why?
It can also threaten the creatures at the bottom of Poyang Lake.
Thinking of this, I immediately thought of the blue jade piece I saw in the hands of the fish-faced man in the long dream of the black sedan chair, as well as the pieces held by my grandfather, Professor Chen, and Andrew.
The one third of the black jade astrolabe fragments and the dark red stone piece I have in my hand now, let's call them jade astrolabe pieces, then there should be between these jade astrolabe pieces
Is there any commonality that can scare these animals? And these commonalities are on the astrolabe jade pieces. They are just invisible to our human eyes, but the animals they can scare can be recognized at a glance.
come out.
Only in this way can we explain why this small piece of jade can scare away the green snakes and alligators at the bottom of Poyang Lake.
The environment in front of me made it impossible for me to think too much, and I couldn't take too much into consideration. Everything was based on the first principle of preserving life.
So, I held the dark red astrolabe tightly in my hand, and then looked around with the light of the hernia lamp to see if I could escape from this place as soon as possible.
Suddenly, the light of the xenon lamp shone far away on the lotus seat where the giant Buddha I fell off first was located. Vaguely, I seemed to see something between the two petals of the lotus seat.
There was a dim corridor, and at the entrance of the corridor, there seemed to be a person standing. That figure looked very much like an old temple blessing.
My heart skipped a beat, and I thought to myself: Could it be that Miao Zhu was playing the flute just now? However, old Miao Zhu seems to be almost eighty years old, can he still go to such a deep bottom of Poyang Lake?
You must find a way to go to the corridor to see if it is a temple blessing. If it is really a temple blessing, then this old guy must be deliberately dissecting it.
I thought to myself, and suddenly I understood why there were so many nylon ropes in the canvas bag. Couldn't they come in handy here?
And does this situation also indicate that Xiangyu may have been here more than once, otherwise it would be impossible to make such preparations in advance.
The moment I lowered my head and took out the nylon rope, the figure at the entrance of the corridor had disappeared.
I was shocked and thought, don't let him get away.
At this time, I didn't think too much and forgot about my fear. I just threw the hook on the end of the nylon rope in my hand towards the lotus seat on the giant Buddha.
After confirming that the hook caught one of the petals of the lotus seat, I pulled the rope hard and pulled the lotus seat I was on towards the giant Buddha little by little.
