Chapter 28 Chapter 28 Rock Paintings

Wu Qi and Zhao Guai were taken aback when they heard this, and hurried back to take a look, only to find that except for Du Fan who was still unconscious, everyone else had already woken up, looking at Er Tiao with sleepy eyes in confusion, apparently disturbing his sleep Holding a little dissatisfaction. Seeing the two of them coming back, Er Tiao rushed forward in panic, and said to Zhao Guai: "Mr. Zhao, there is something wrong with the road you are leading. There is a...something in the f*cking place!" As he spoke, he carefully observed the surrounding area , as if afraid of something jumping out of the surrounding mountain walls.

Seeing his distraught appearance, Zhao Guai sternly said, "What are you panicking about! What's going on!" Er Tiao shivered and pointed to a crack in the rock wall not far ahead, and said in horror: "Then... that place is not flat, I just saw a few dirty things passing there!" "The pool scared you silly for a while, what nonsense are you talking about!" Captain Feng moved his hands and feet, and taught Ertiao again: "You kid has been caught by something evil recently, and there are problems with your thinking and style. Now why are you getting involved with people like Wei Li Luan Shen again!"

After hearing this, Er Tiao complained of injustice, and Team Feng wanted to reprimand him, but was stopped by Zhao Guai, who made Er Tiao explain the whole story in detail. It turned out that before Zhao Guai suggested that he come to watch the night, everyone rested first, and he would find someone to change shifts in the middle of the night.After all the tossing and tossing before, everyone was exhausted, so they fell to the ground and fell asleep under the warm fire.Er Tiao wanted to sleep well at first, but just after lying down for a while, his stomach growled uncontrollably, and then there was a sharp pain, and he couldn't hold it back for a while, so he wanted to go to the toilet.

Er Tiao reckoned that it might have been caused by soaking in cold water for a long time before, and now he could only admit that he was unlucky. He looked up and saw that Zhao Guai and Wu Qi were gone, and it was not good for him to disturb others, so he simply touched it alone. When I went to a remote corner not far away, I was overwhelmed. After finishing the work, he felt relieved for a while, and then he was about to return. At this moment, he casually glanced to his left, and found something. It turned out to be a huge basket-like thing, which looked very much like a basket. basket.Erjo felt very strange, why there is such a thing in this place, and judging from the size of the basket, it doesn't seem to be used to hold small things, it is more likely to be a means of transportation.

He approached carefully, and sure enough, he found something in the basket, which was tightly covered by a piece of cloth.There is a huge stone wall in front of me. As the two approach, the petroglyphs on the stone wall can be seen more clearly, and there is a crack in the middle of the stone wall, allowing only one person to pass through. Although the two are not far from the lighting fire , but the obstruction of the rock made it impossible for him to see what was in the crack of the rock, and he didn't know how deep the crack penetrated. Er Tiao didn't dare to probe in hastily, so he planned to go back and tell the team first, but right now he just made some small discoveries by himself, maybe it was a meaningless discovery, and if he rashly disturbed the team, he would feel that he was making a fuss.So he simply took courage, moved forward, and lifted the cloth covering the big basket. Suddenly, a hand hung down, which shocked the two. dead body!

Obviously, this corpse has not been around for a long time, and it has been air-dried to the point where only a layer of dry skin is left, tightly wrapping the entire skeleton, and it seems that it is very likely to fall apart if touched lightly.And the upper part of the basket was tied with three thick hemp ropes, each of which fixed several corners of the basket, which seemed to be used to hang the basket.The second one was for archaeological excavation, and corpses are obviously commonplace. When he saw that it was just a withered corpse, he was slightly relieved, and was puzzled at the moment. He had never seen a corpse in this basket. Could it be an ancient person? A special burial system?

Speaking of this, everyone felt that Er Tiao's narration was a bit long-winded, so let him immediately get straight to the point.Feng Dui said: "It seems that I was frightened and stupid. What are you doing like a storyteller in the current situation! Pick something useful to say!" Er Tiao continued: "It's useful! Oh! Boss Feng, you know my temperament. I'm extremely curious. When I saw this strange dark hole, I couldn't help but want to go in. I just stuck my head in it. , Guess what?" He opened his eyes wide as he spoke, looking extremely surprised. "It's cold in here, and I can't see anything. I stuck my head in, and suddenly heard a voice inside. It sounded like many people were singing!"

"Bullshit! No one has come here for hundreds of years, you're probably going to hell with your life in the middle of the night!" Captain Feng said with a smile, this shocked Li Xiaomeng to the side, shrank his neck and looked nervously. look around. Er Tiao did not argue, and continued: "That's not enough, the more evil ones are yet to come! When I heard this movement, I was also frightened at the time, so I hurriedly withdrew and prepared to run. As soon as I came out, I saw the mountain wall The paintings on the website seem to have changed. There is a group of people wearing strange clothes, carrying a basket on their backs, as if they are collecting something. This group of people is the weirdest, because compared with before, suddenly those people smiled at me, It's gone all at once!"

After hearing what he said, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and Er Tiao obviously realized that everyone would not believe his words too much, so he specially emphasized: "Heaven and earth conscience, what I said is definitely not nonsense! At this time, I am not in the mood to entertain you. There must be something weird over there! If you don’t believe me, go and have a look, the mummy is still lying in that basket!” Wu Qi still didn't quite believe it. He turned his head and saw Ghost Wu next to him. He held his chin and looked at the reactions of the crowd thoughtfully, with a calm expression on his face.Thinking of what Zhao Guai said to himself just now, when he saw Ghost Wu again, an inexplicable feeling came up unconsciously. The person in front of him who had been with him day and night seemed to have become strange at this moment, and the reason for the strangeness was different. It was because of his own estrangement, but that something called fog was covering him, and it was getting thicker and thicker.

"Go and have a look!" Zhao Guai said calmly, his voice was very low, but it was very important. It's not that an order is better than an order.Ertiao and Li Xiaomeng, who was already terrified, took care of Du Fan on the spot, and the others carefully followed the place Ertiao said. The mountain wall with gaps is not far away, but it is hidden behind the boulder and is not easy to find. After crossing the boulder, the first thing you see is the petroglyph on the mountain wall that Erjo said.The petroglyphs have been mottled and peeled off a lot, and the color has almost faded, and the content can barely be seen clearly. It is not surprising that what is recorded are some very boring scenes.It is very likely that some residents lived here in a certain period of ancient times. For some commemorative significance, they recorded some content on it by the way.

The contents of the petroglyphs are unremarkable, and what is slightly surprising is that in addition to depicting scenes of life, the petroglyphs also have some sporadic war scenes. Team Feng has a lot of research on history, so he glanced at it and said: "It should be left over from the warlords' melee in ancient times. Although the Guizizhang area is barren, it is at the junction of the three provinces. It may have been the only way to attack the opponent at that time." Road, so the strategic location is very important, and it is the focus of contention between the two sides! The diversion of the Fengcang River, on the one hand, is due to Fengshui, and on the other hand, it may also be due to the need for war. Now the Fengcang River after the diversion has become a guard And the original river channel may have become a grain channel.” Captain Feng talked eloquently, as if he were a polymath, but after expressing his opinion, he walked back and forth along the rock paintings, and found nothing abnormal, let alone the figures on the murals disappearing automatically. . While listening to Team Feng's explanation, Wu Qi looked at the rock paintings, and suddenly found something unusual, so he said: "Team Feng! The wars you mentioned don't seem to be the main content. I always feel that the way of life of these people Very primitive, a bit out of touch with the war era of this size!" Wu Qi's feeling was not out of thin air. The people recorded in the rock paintings, no matter their clothing or tools, seemed very primitive, as if they were primitive humans who had not yet entered the civilized period.They carried baskets on their backs, held stone shovels in their hands, hung from something like a basket, and entered bottomless caves one after another. Judging from this outfit, they looked very much like people picking herbs in the mountains. Team Feng further explained: "This should be the mountain people who have lived in the mountains for generations. They have separated from the outside world and lived without contention. Collecting herbs is a need for survival. For thousands of years, they have fought against the plagues in the mountains, Poisonous snakes and venomous insects have accumulated a lot of experience in fighting various diseases. Before, we found a strange site in the depths of Guizizhang. It looked like a sacrificial site, but it was actually a place for local people to conduct drug research. That is their pharmacy!" "Pharmacy workshop?" Wu Qiqi said, "Why does this reclusive person in the mountains have such a large-scale research on medicine?" Captain Feng said: "This kind of medicine is not the kind of medicine you usually talk about. This kind of medicine has a special purpose, and it needs to be studied and refined. To put it bluntly, this kind of medicine is not used to treat disease, but has other special uses, such as ancient elixir!" Wu Qi was startled when he heard this, and then became interested, and continued to ask: "Elixir? It is said that eating the elixir can make people live forever? Is there really such a thing in this place?" Team Feng replied: "It's just a one-sided understanding. You have to know that not all pills are for longevity. There are many kinds of pills. The legendary longevity pills are only available to certain people, but it's ironic. Yes, most of the elixirs not only cannot live forever, but will die faster. You all know the ingredients of elixirs. I don’t need to explain them. I think those things have a great poisonous effect on the human body! Many enlightened people in ancient times Kings are unavoidable, and finally died in the hands of this thing!" "Since it's not for longevity, what is the purpose of refining the elixir you mentioned?" "Maybe it's due to the needs of the war. Anyway, the reason is very complicated, and we will have to wait for our further investigation to find out!" After saying this, Team Feng seemed to feel that it was inappropriate to reveal too much, so he changed the subject and said, "These have all become a thing of the past, but it is not difficult to see their prosperity back then, and the subsequent war broke their original life. It even caused the end of their civilization!" Zhao Guai listened on the sidelines and didn't express any opinions, and he didn't seem to be very interested in the petroglyphs on the rock wall. As soon as Captain Feng finished speaking, he suddenly pointed to the dark cave entrance and said, "This is not an ordinary cave. This is the Hive House!"
