Chapter 70 Chapter 12 The Boy Scouts

At that moment, a corpse seemed to have grown flesh and intact clothes, but it only appeared for a while, and I blinked, and it changed back to its original appearance.Could it be that my eyes are blurred?Originally, I wanted to scream twice to exaggerate the atmosphere, but this phantom scene really didn't give me face.I walked behind slowly with a flashlight on, turning my head three times a step at a time. I really couldn't figure out how these phantoms appeared.There is nothing abnormal here, but if I insist, there is only that inexplicable sour smell.If the sour taste could cause people to hallucinate, it would have already worked at the pile of rocks. Moreover, if it could really produce hallucinations, it is absolutely impossible for so many people to have hallucinations that are astonishingly consistent!

So, what just appeared is true? I thought about many possibilities, but I couldn't find a reasonable explanation. Instead, I felt that the people in Guanling County said that there were ghosts here, and it was not groundless. It seemed really strange.As soon as we walked out of the burial pit, there were some strange voices from the opposite side. Old man Liu was very superstitious.Could it be that he really gave up his life for a treasure?At that time, activities to break the superstition had been carried out everywhere, but the old people still believed in it.I always feel that old man Liu came here for another purpose besides looking for treasures, but if he doesn't tell me, I can't ask.I still don't know how to manage my own affairs, so I don't have the leisure to take care of others.

There used to be some karst caves under the canyon, but they were transformed by Gu Yelang's people, and there are traces of artificial excavation in many places.I kept paying attention, for fear that there might be some hidden weapon, but along the way, I found several traces of gunpowder smoke left by bullets.Could it be that the people of Yelang Kingdom were able to produce firearms a long time ago? I thought I was wrong, and I was just about to ask other people to come and observe, but gunshots rang out in the darkness.This sound is much more terrifying than howling ghosts and wolves. If you get hit, you will die, and there is no sanitation center here.Everyone panicked when they heard the sound. Xu Shaode was walking in front of me. When the gunshot rang out, he fell to the ground. Did this kid get shot?

Damn, there are other people here! I hurriedly helped Xu Shaode up, wanting to see where he was injured, but I didn't see any wounds, not even a drop of blood.Old man Liu was just a craftsman, and he had never seen such a battle before, so he lay down on the ground in fright, while Albert leaned aside.Xiao Guang didn't dodge or dodge, just stood in front of him, not feeling scared at all.I checked everywhere, and Xu Shaode was not shot at all, this kid has something wrong again, making troubles. I pushed Xu Shaode up, then raised the flashlight, trying to see who was in front of me, but there was still nothing in front of me, only darkness.This is strange, since no one was there, how could there be the sound of shooting.Everyone couldn't help being suspicious. I didn't know what to do in my heart. I was full of confidence at first, but now I feel uneasy every step I take.The golden bamboo forest that Xu Qian mentioned could not be here, as there is no bamboo forest that grows underground.Moreover, old man Liu said that when Xu Qian reported to the police station, the bodies of those traffickers were disposed of.It is impossible for the police to have been here. If anyone had been here, the place would have been cleaned up by those archaeologists long ago.

I murmured in my heart, don't look for the wrong place, we came here with the mentality of not going anywhere, so we will give you some benefits.The stone cave is not far in front, gradually expanding, which makes us feel more and more uncertain.Guizhou is a karst landform, and the underground space is full of strange things. I have heard that before the liberation, some people took refuge in underground caves, and they encountered some unclean things. Many people died, and those who survived were also unconscious. When I was thinking wildly, many figures suddenly appeared in front of me. Grandma's was still a large area of ​​darkness!Let me just say, it is impossible for such loud shouts and gunshots to suddenly come out of thin air. There must be hundreds of people here.It seems that materialism has been confirmed by practice.

Xu Shaode breathed a sigh of relief, and shouted: "Hey, the one on the other side, we don't mean any harm, don't shoot." "What are you shouting, isn't this revealing our position?" I hurriedly told him to shut up.How can the five of us resist these hundreds of people? Each stabbing us can cut us into minced meat.Whether it's an enemy or a friend, it's clear that you're exposing your own existence.What's more, why are there so many people running out of such a ghostly place? However, Xiaoguang said from the side: "They are not human!"

As soon as we heard what Xiaoguang said, we immediately froze in place. Old man Liu has always regarded Xiaoguang as a fox fairy, and he believes in her words even more.Since he was so scared, why did he come here again? Could it be that he is another person who wants money but not life?We turned on the flashlights together, trying to see the crowd in front of us clearly, but what caught our eyes was really not people—it was a group of figurines. The terracotta figurines are neatly placed in the cave in front, in different poses, lifelike.These human figurines have hideous faces, all half kneeling on the ground, holding a bamboo in their hands.These bamboos are all golden and as bright as new. If the figurines were not in dilapidated condition, we would have thought they were just made.Suddenly there was no sound around, and the silence was scary. The dim flashlights in our hands shone on the figurines, giving people an ancient and mysterious feeling.The strangest thing is that these figurines are unusual, because they all look like young people.

Xiaoguang was fascinated by the sight, and said to himself: "It is said that in several wars between Yelang Kingdom and the Han Dynasty, they dispatched an army of children. The strange thing is that all those children won the battles. Originally The emperor of the Han Dynasty was still troubled by this matter, but the Yelang Kingdom never used those children again in subsequent wars." I have also heard about this incident. It is said that during the Heping period of Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty (about 27 BC), Yelang Wang Xingtong threatened the surrounding 22 towns to rebel against the Han Dynasty, and was killed by the Han envoy Chen Li. Then it was destroyed.During the war when Yelang was about to perish, there was indeed a group of boy soldiers who were invincible and extremely ferocious.I have heard many people talk about it, but they all laugh it off, how can a child fight a war.It is unreasonable to rely on children to fight wars if the country is not subjugated.

There is very little information left in the history of the Yelang Kingdom. In addition, I know nothing about historical archaeology, and the others are obviously not proficient either. No one said a word, and they all listened to Xiaoguang continue. We approached the figurines together, Xiaoguang frowned, looked at the figurines, and said, "These are the boy soldiers, the last army of the Yelang Kingdom. Let's not talk about how children win battles, since they are invincible , Why did this group of boy soldiers not appear on the battlefield, and finally Yelang was destroyed by the Han Dynasty."

"This happened many years ago. It has been passed on and on, and it has changed. Maybe Yelang was arrogant and smeared himself, so he made up rumors about boy soldiers." Xu Shaode disagreed. "Is their weapon a piece of bamboo?" I saw that every figurine of the boy was holding a golden bamboo in his hand, so I wondered, can bamboo be considered a weapon? "That's right, this bamboo is not ordinary, it's harder than a knife." Xiaoguang turned to Xu Shaode and said, "Don't worry, what I said is true." "Since there is no detailed information, how do you know what you said is correct?" I also find it strange that there are many distortions in ancient legends, and only some of them are true.

Xiaoguang smiled at us, made a grimace, and replied: "Because I have seen that war with my own eyes!" Yelang Kingdom was destroyed more than 2,000 years ago, and there are very few direct historical materials. Even the address of Yelang Kingdom is still debated, and even foreign countries doubt the authenticity of this ancient country.Except for Albert who couldn't understand the language, everyone was extremely shocked by Xiaoguang's words.Could it be that she is really, as old man Liu said, a fox fairy who has lived for thousands of years?My Virgin Mary, materialism tells us this is impossible, there are no fox fairies in the world. I opened my mouth to express my opinion, but swallowed it as soon as the words reached my mouth.Under the Flame Mountain, isn't there a black snake girl who has lived for nearly a thousand years?But she maintains the appearance of a mixture of human and snake, Xiao Guang is completely human, and she doesn't have a fox tail. "Bragging, how could you see it!" Xu Shaode said with a big laugh after he regained his composure. "Believe it or not, they put these figurines here probably to say that this place is heavily guarded, we'd better be careful." Xiao Guang smiled and stroked the figurines after speaking. "Brother Wanzang, do you think what Xiaoguang said is true?" Xu Shaode asked in a low voice. I nodded and shook my head again. Xu Shaode was so dizzy that I didn't ask any further questions.In fact, before I came to Guanling, I checked the information of Guanling in Guiyang, and found that the local county annals had recorded it sporadically. Until the end of the Qing Dynasty, there were Yi people who saw people in strange clothes in this canyon area. Activities, old and young.I thought, could these people be descendants of the surviving Gu Yelang?There was no camera at that time, even if you saw it, you couldn't take a picture of it, so everyone thought it was a non-existent thing.During World War II, some documents began to say that Jinzhu Canyon was haunted, and there were even murders. One of them happened in the 1970s, which was a well-known case of a disfigured female corpse in Guanling.Beside the female corpse, there is another thing, which is the mask of the Nuo opera.Because the local folk customs are simple and simple, crimes occur once in hundreds of years, so they are well remembered. When we tiptoed through the group of boy terracotta warriors, we always felt that they were alive and would stab us suddenly.Because he didn't know what was ahead, Xiaoguang asked us all to pick up a few small stones and put them in our pockets, and throw a stone in front of us every few steps to explore the way. The karst cave expanded again in front, it was as big as an auditorium. I didn't expect there to be such a big space under the canyon.We were amazed by the grotesquely shaped stalactites. I walked over eagerly to see it clearly, but who knew there was a sound behind me, so I looked back. I immediately yelled out in fright at this sight, because at this moment there was a child in a strange dress right behind me. He tilted his head, held a bamboo, and stared at me with a ferocious face.
