When I opened my eyes again, I had already landed firmly on the ground.
It has to be said that Chen Mo's technique is very good. He floated down all the way, neither fast nor slow, almost moving in a straight line at a constant speed.
Chen Mo's feet were pinned to my waist, while my hands held his buttocks tightly.
I don’t know whether it was because of nervousness or too much exertion, but when I reached the bottom of the cliff, my palms were already covered with beads of sweat.
"Zhou Cang, I didn't expect that your seemingly weak body could be so strong. You could hold me in your hands for so long without even taking a breath." Chen Mo looked at me with a half-smile.
said jokingly.
As soon as I heard this, I reflexively let go.
Chen Mo suddenly fell from my hand, landed on his butt, and let out an "ouch" sound.
"Chen Mo, I didn't mean it. What happened to you?" I saw the distorted expression on Chen Mo's face and asked hurriedly.
"There seems to be something on the ground, it's really annoying." Chen Mo said, struggling to get up and taking out a hernia lamp from his backpack.
The moment the hernia lamp was turned on, both of us were almost stunned.
The bottom of this cliff, as far as we can see, is slowly filled with human figurines.
They are human figurines made of living people.
The quantity is so large that it feels like it can almost reach the number of people in a group.
"Chen Mo, are these human figurines members of the Yufu tribe?"
Because I think their faces are very strange. They are indescribably similar to the fish-faced men I saw in the black sedan.
"It's hard to say for the time being. Let's go and take a look first." Chen Mo said.
Suddenly, so many corpses that had not decayed for thousands of years appeared in front of me. To be honest, if Chen Mo hadn't been by my side, I might have run away long ago. I wouldn't have had the leisure to step forward to observe.
However, even if Chen Mo is by his side now, having to get up close to these human figurines that have been dead for who knows how many years but still look lifelike makes me feel a little scared.
My imagination has already begun to work, and I have begun to calculate how to escape if any corpse suddenly appears.
Following Chen Mo, I carefully moved into the group of human figurines.
After entering the group of human figurines, Chen Mo began to walk very slowly. He almost had to stop for a moment in front of each human figurine, groping up and down before moving forward to the next one.
I followed him and followed his example, looking to the right and to the right, but after walking for a while, I didn't find any clues.
After walking for a while, I simply gave up and followed him idly, doing nothing but holding the lamp for Chen Mo.
Suddenly, Chen Mo stopped suddenly for some reason, but without saying a word, he just stood there with a straight face, not knowing what he was thinking.
I didn't have any mental preparation, so I couldn't stop and ran straight into his back.
Chen Mo was hit by me, and he threw himself forward and fell to the ground.
I hurriedly ran forward and helped Chen Mo up. Just when I was about to ask him if he was injured, I saw his eyes shining. He patted his head as if enlightened, and then said: "I know that there is something wrong with me."
Where does the comfort come from?”
He said, not caring about me behind him, and then ran several laps in the group of human figurines. Although he stopped in front of each human figurine, the time was very short. He almost just stood and looked at it, and then walked to the next one.
.
"Chen Mo, what's wrong with you? Did you find anything on these human figurines?" I chased after Chen Mo and asked anxiously.
Because I could already see the look of fear on Chen Mo's face.
You know, even when he was frightened by Wang Zhishui, who was not like a human or a ghost in the ancient temple of Wawu Mountain, Chen Mo did not show such a scared expression.
Therefore, we can be sure that there must be something extremely terrifying among the human figurines at the bottom of the cliff.
However, Chen Mo didn't seem to hear my inquiry, and even forgot about the existence of a person like me, and just walked through the crowd of human figurines on his own.
This mute boy, once he gets serious, can really achieve a state of selflessness. I have been a classmate with him for two years, and I still understand him.
Therefore, I did not disturb him anymore, but followed him quietly, using the hernia lamp in my hand to illuminate each figurine for him.
After about half an hour, he finally looked at every figurine.
Chen Mo stopped and stood there, staring blankly ahead without any focus.
His affectionate and careless look made me a little scared, but I didn't dare to ask or disturb him.
He should be thinking.
After a while, Chen Mo finally spoke slowly: "Zhou Cang, the eyes of these figurines are wrong."
"What's wrong with your eyes?" My heart skipped a beat, and a very bad premonition suddenly emerged from the depths of my heart.
"Yes," Chen Mo seemed to sigh softly. He turned around slowly, then looked at me and said: "In the archaeological history of our country, some corpses that have not decayed for thousands of years have also been discovered, such as
Mrs. Xin Zhui, however, after a person dies, even if some unknown drugs can be used to preserve the body intact, the pupils of the eyes will definitely become dilated. But look, these human figurines, all of their eyes
, are all focused.”
Chen Mo said and looked at a human figurine around us.
"Are you saying that there is something wrong with the eyes of these human figurines?" I asked nonchalantly.
"I don't know yet whether my guess is right or not. And look, if you look carefully at this human figurine, do you find anything wrong?" Chen Mo said, turning his eyes from the human figurine to me.
.
I was a little frightened by what he said. Although I was scared to death, I still turned around and stood face to face with the human figurine he just pointed out.
After just standing for a short while, goosebumps broke out on my body.
This human figurine is a middle-aged man, wearing clothes similar to those of the Han Dynasty, holding a sword in his hand, and he is looking at me angrily.
Because the pupils in his eyes are not dilated, he is basically no different from a living person.
So standing in front of him like this, I felt like he would be resurrected at any time.
I was really afraid of everything. Just when I thought this thing seemed to be alive, I saw the eyes of this figurine, as if they were really moving.
"Ah~" I couldn't help but let out a howl.
"What's wrong?" Chen Mo hurriedly took my hand and asked.
"Chen Mo, I just, just now~" My lips trembled, and I held back the second half of the sentence for a very long time and couldn't even say it.
"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, please speak slowly," Chen Mo comforted me while holding my hand.
"Chen Mo, I just seemed to see this human figurine move." I was trembling all over, and it took almost all my strength to say these words.
My voice was very low, for fear that the human figurine in front of me might hear it.
"Zhou Cang, I just told you that I suspect that these human figurines are probably alive." Chen Mo looked at me and said.
"Alive, how is this possible?" I said with my mouth wide open.
"However, although they are alive, due to a special reason, all the functions of the body are frozen. Therefore, the body cannot accept the information sent by the brain and perform corresponding actions." Chen Mo said.
"Chen Mo, I find it a bit hard to understand. How can a person be frozen?" I found it particularly incredible.
"Have you seen "Interstellar"?" Chen Mo asked.
"I have seen it, but I have no impression." I replied.
"There is a scene in Interstellar where they put the body into a dormant state. After entering this state, the human body requires very little energy and the cell metabolism is very slow, so people can survive for a long time."
Chen Mo said.
"Are you saying that these human figurines are also dormant?" I asked.
"It should be said to be similar to this state." Chen Mo replied.
"Then they won't wake up now." I said.
"Zhou Cang, I just feel that they are slowly waking up. Because when we came in at first, the eyes of these human figures were still scattered, but when we slowly walked down, I discovered them.
Their pupils are slowly returning to their original positions. So, there must be something on us that can wake them up." Chen Mo looked at me and said.
"Are you talking about the astrolabe on my body?" I said, taking out the dark red astrolabe.
