paradox

The place we went to was not Quenhu Lake. According to Jing Yan, there is a well directly leading to the entrance at the place where Yubeng is sacrificed, which is the entrance of the cave we went to for the first time, and the distance is closer than Quenhu Lake.

It was originally a place isolated from the world, relying on mountains to eat mountains, and relying on water to eat water, so it paid special attention to the matter of sacrifice, and it was thanks to Jing Yan that she was able to break away from the concept of mountains and go to university.The customs here are too unfriendly to women. The unbalanced ratio of men and women often leads to polyandry. Sometimes several brothers in a family share one wife. Now I think it is strange.

Weird customs will have corresponding beliefs. Although this place of worship is a building built directly with stones, it looks extraordinarily brilliant. Passing through the stone arch, there is a huge disc inside, with densely recorded things on it, and the stones There are also patterns of mountains, but the words are very strange and it is difficult to identify the meaning.

In the narrow gullies that radiate outward from the center of the disk, dark red liquid spreads to the surroundings, and it is almost invisible at the periphery.With the lessons learned from the previous few times, I have put some thought into various things.Since it is a place for offering sacrifices, this is probably an altar. It is located at the bottom of the mountain and is surrounded by springs pouring from the mountain. The terrain is very good.

From a distance, the pattern of this simple building is very similar to the stone arch in front of Quenhu Lake, and it is a little more mysterious because it is entwined with tree branches.Reminded by Jing Yan, we avoided the round platform and entered from the outside. The red silk thread wrapped around the branches blocked our sight, and there was a slight smell of blood in the nostrils, but it was covered by the fragrance of the surrounding plants.

Walking behind the altar, the ancient well surrounded by wooden fences is displayed in front of us.

I groped for the pattern on the well, and it was very close to the iconic totems on the altar, which is normal. "Cat?" Shang Yang saw a majestic cat totem in the middle of the well. Immediately pointed it out to Xichi, "Civilizations that use cats as totems are really rare."

"In the West, cats are the gatekeepers of hell, but since it's an ancient civilization in China, it shouldn't have anything to do with that." Xichi explained, "This little cat is quite impressive."

"Don't underestimate this kitten, it has a bad temper!" Wen Yu took out a portable respirator from his backpack, and tied his hair neatly behind his head. It’s hard to come back.”

"I said that I don't need to tie my hair. Look at it and let it loose now." Xiao Mo complained dissatisfiedly. I helped her tidy up the broken hair that she couldn't see from the back and grabbed it. My hair has never been taken care of. Whether it is long or short, it is enough to use a little rubber band now.

"Don't forget to wear a waterproof jacket, or you'll lose everything when you get out of the water." After preparing everything, Wen Yu fixed the backpack behind her back. The water flow at the bottom is very fast, so she must cover her treasures.

After hearing this, Jing Yan tipped my right elbow in a secretive way, "Are you looking forward to something just now? You must know that there are so many beauties inside of us!"

"Go, go, go, what can I expect?" I pushed her away in disgust and put on the respirator. It was tested early in the morning, and now it can be used in the water. "Shouldn't Brother Han be the one to worry about? I'm also a lamb to be slaughtered, okay?"

"There is no need to wait until the water comes out. The current scene has already made us men unable to control it, hahaha!" Han Lin smiled heartily, but he never looked our way. I still believe in his character. Jade couldn't be more suitable.

"I'll go down to explore the road first, and you guys follow closely!" After the explanation, Wen Yu plunged into the water, and we followed closely behind, counting thirty silently in our hearts, and jumped in in order.

Don't rush into the water, because the mouth of the well is so big, if a few people go in at once, even if we are very sensible, it will get stuck.

With the respirator, the next step is pure physical labor. We arrived at the entrance of the tomb in less than 3 minutes. Of course, this is because of the respirator. If you jump from Quenhu, you will be dead in 3 minutes Bar.

Wen Yu is very familiar with the waterway, from the way he looked at it, he knew that he had been here many times. When I poked my head out of the water, I heard a woman crying. It seems that something has changed this time.

When Mo Han saw that I had come out, he stretched out his hand and pulled me up. Not far in front of us, a young girl was huddled up and crying, and another older man was comforting her.Judging from the dryness and wetness of their clothes, they should have arrived here not long ago. In addition, there were two corpses lying on the stone steps. Their skins were soaked and white, and they gave off a faint smell. It has been a long time.

"Who are you?" The man saw us coming out one by one and asked vigilantly, "We are just passing by for sightseeing. If it is convenient, show us a way to survive, so as not to cut off your money." The man's words were very aggressive.

"Hello!" I moved to Wen Yu's side, this idiot was still packing his respirator, turning a blind eye to the corpse at his feet.

"Why?" she asked inexplicably, patting my hand away.

I pointed to the little girl who was still crying and said, "Aren't you going to coax her?"

Wen Yu was even more baffled, "Why do you want me to coax you, are you crazy?"

"I..." It was my turn to be speechless, Wen Yu was so calm when Wen Di was crying so pitifully?

"Okay, okay, I still have something to do!" She unloaded her backpack and made a loud noise when it fell to the ground, and the crying stopped after that.

"Break our money? It seems that you know a lot, sir!" Han Lin answered him for us, "Could it be that you are also a person on the road?"

Mo Han and Xiao Mo dote on this little sister Wen Di very much, the two of them passed the strange man and walked to her side and asked worriedly, "Is there any injury?"

"Don't pretend to be merciful here, how can you have clean hands in this line of work? Wendi is still young, so she can't be destroyed by your hands." The man wanted to protect Wendi but was interrupted by Han Lin's hand. "Now let's take a look at the injury for the little girl, she is not in a good condition."

Doesn't he think there is a problem with the logic of his words?Even if we are treated as tomb robbers, is saving people divided into different schools?

"Differences do not conspire with each other. Since you are all fully prepared, you must have come here for this tomb. I have no interest in the things inside now. I will not help you, let alone join forces!"

It can only be said that this person's brain hole is very strange.

"Mr. should be an expert in the Department of Archeology. Although I seldom dabble in this field, I have heard of some names several times. Shan Wuning, a professor of history, has published several publications and serialized them across the country, right? "Han Lin let go of the hand that grabbed his sleeve, and the other party immediately patted him in disgust, "He really lives up to his name!"

"It seems that you are well prepared! You even know my name, admit it quickly, did you lure me here on purpose?" Although Uncle Shan is now a drowned chicken, he still does not forget to straighten his collar and put his sportswear on The feeling of wearing a suit alive is still very expensive.

It seems that it is just pure self-awareness, there is no need to worry, but Wendi should be hurt a lot, this girl has a stubborn temper, and she didn't even frown when she saw a dead person last time. Not to blame for this assumption, but now she looks very delicate and naive as she should be at her age.

Mo Han took advantage of their argument and immediately squatted down to check Wendi's body. There were bandage marks on his wrists, blood was still oozing out, and there were also slight scratches on his body, probably scratched by fine stones in the water.

Seeing that I was still idle, Jing Yan dragged me over to work as a coolie.I wiped the rough stone door absent-mindedly. The totem carved on it was very similar to the one on the sacrificial altar. Not sure anymore.

"The cat's eyes." Jing Yan was still carefully searching every corner of Shimen, while Shang Yang and Xi Chi, who I was most worried about along the way, were watching the play from a distance. When Xi Chi took out the piece When I pocketed the watch, I secretly screamed that it was not good.

Fortunately, under Shang Yang's stop, he took the pocket watch back, shrugged and started to look around. There was reflected light here, and the surroundings could be discerned.

"Concentrate on finding the agency now, we have to race against the clock." Jing Yan reminded, "I will arrange things later."

I responded and started my own business.

"I seem to have seen it." Jing Yan said in surprise, she stood on tiptoe and stretched her arms as far as possible.

"I found it too, but I don't know if it's the same one you saw." There is a pair of sculpted eyes next to me. Different from the surrounding materials, here is a kind of transparent jade. I could see clearly, as the light changed, the pupils also changed, and the black part got bigger and bigger, it was so real, I was so scared that I immediately retracted my hand and stayed away from this weird thing.

But Jingyan's side is just an ordinary pattern in my opinion, and I can't find any carvings related to eyes.

"How did I forget about this!" She patted her head regretfully, "It's a good thing you didn't find it first, otherwise we can go back early, this thing still recognizes the owner."

"Is it true what you only saw?" I retracted my hand and asked.

"I am of noble Chu descent. The elders in the village often tell our juniors stories of the past, saying that our ancestors were escaped Chu nobles. No wonder I felt that I was not a thing in the pool since I was a child." Yeon tapped over there with gestures I couldn't understand.

I stopped doing useless work, and simply watched from the sidelines, "You must have read too many novels. For a person like you, back in ancient times, it was also a job as a maid. Don't you see that you are also guarding other people's tombs now? "I curled my lips, "When I was young, I was also abused by TV dramas. Every day I felt that I was the illegitimate daughter of a rich man who was forced to leave behind in the folk. Now I am the adoptive parents, and one day there will be a stretched Lincoln driving When I picked me up at school, I was even prepared to say goodbye to my adoptive parents."

Mentioning the word "parents" made my heart sore again, but I know that this kind of pain is like a spring, and it can only lose its elasticity if it is touched countless times.

"It can only be said that you have played too much, hahaha!" Jing Yan pushed in, and the originally flat stone was dented downward, and the familiar sound of gears meshing sounded again.

The door was also half opened, and Uncle Shan adjusted his glasses with a look of surprise, "Why, I pressed the cat's eyes, why did I touch the mechanism..."

"Wait a minute, uncle! I can't pretend that I didn't hear that sentence just now. Why did you press the 'cat's eyes'? Do you know how to get in?" Wen Yu patted him on the shoulder violently. "What about the two people lying on the ground and this little girl, do you take the initiative to explain it yourself, or let me explain it for you?"

The man bowed his head and said nothing, and Wen Yu didn't want to talk to him, and with his little ability, he couldn't afford to toss a few waves. As for the "cat's eyes", it should be a mistake.

Seeing Wen Yu approaching, Mo Han and Xiao Mo tactfully stepped aside, which flattered Wen Yu, Wen Di lowered his head, his complexion was not very good, Wen Yu dried the dripping hair with a towel, and asked worriedly , "Girl, can you stand up? Do you want me to carry you?"

"She hurt her arm." Mo Han kindly reminded her.
