Chapter 5 Chapter 5: Red Cliff Heavenly Book

Bauer paid too much attention to his big dog and didn't notice the changes in the surrounding environment. I was a little scared and wanted to quit Sha Yilin, but when I looked back, the way I came from had disappeared.It's not that I don't see it, it's that I don't remember where it came from.It's pitch black and densely packed with wild trees. For thousands of years, few people entered it, and no one stepped on the road.We broke in so recklessly that it was hard not to get lost. "Don't look back, it's hard to get this opportunity." Xinhong refused to give up, and he didn't feel afraid, "Look, there seems to be a cave in front of you."

I kept my eyes open for a long time, only to realize that there was a dark space behind the bushes in front of me, and I didn't know what was hidden inside.Xinhong said that he saw the woman walking in, so he also wanted to go in and see.My eyes are not as good as his. I didn't see whether the woman went in or not.However, since we came here together, we have to go out together. We haven't heard of any beasts that are harmful to people on the mountain, so we don't have to be afraid.Just as we were about to go into the gloomy cave, Bauer's big dog barked again.Bauer was originally a person I met halfway, no different from a stranger. I didn't want him to get involved, so I wanted him to leave.But Bauer said that he wanted to go out too, but he couldn't find the way back, so he had to follow us.I froze for a moment, thinking that this person had a cunning mouth, knowing that no one would know the way back, so he deliberately put me in the army.

The three big dogs were still barking, and I tried to appease them, but found that they were barking at the swamp.Xinhong had already squatted down, and saw him turning over in the mud, and a corpse glowing red was turned out for him.Seeing the corpse, the three big dogs moaned and their hair stood on end. "It belongs to Dad..." Xinhong was speechless for a while. When I heard what he said, my heart tightened. Did Uncle Zou really die in this forest?Originally, the corpse had not been found yet, and one could hold on to hope, but now that the corpse was found, hope became despair.There is not even a single mosquito in this forest, so who ran in and killed Uncle Zou?

"Are you sure it's Uncle?" I asked in a low voice. "Well. You see, although the clothes are tattered, there is an ID card here, which says..." Xinhong was very sad. I glanced at it, and vaguely saw that the ID card said: Zou Yu.This corpse has six toes on its left foot, and Uncle Zou's left foot has six toes. There are so many coincidences, and people don't come here very often. It seems that it is really poor Uncle Zou.The corpse still held a pen in its right hand. Uncle Zou wanted to write a few words in the notebook before he died, but unfortunately he didn't finish.Until now, I still don't understand what Uncle Zou's words mean.

Xinhong rummaged through the clothes on the corpse, and found a small work record manual, but because it had been buried in the mud for a long time, the manual had become moldy.At this time, a corner of the silver moon emerged from the dark clouds, and the bleak moonlight squeezed in from between the dense forest leaves.We read the manual by moonlight, but we were at a loss. There are many writings and drawings in the manual, but they are all in an ancient language - Hongya Tianshu.Hongya Tianshu, formerly known as "Hongyan Stele", is located on the rock wall on the west side of Mount Suna in the southeast of Longzhao Village, Duanqiao Township, Guanling County, Anshun Prefecture, Guizhou Province.It is close to the Yunnan-Guizhou Highway, about half a kilometer from the highway to Hongyan, and is close to Huangguoshu Waterfall.

On Mount Suna, there is an earth-red stone wall about 100 meters long and 3 meters high. There are more than 20 non-engraved and non-engraved, non-yin and non-yang, resembling Li and non-Li, resembling seal and not seal, shaped like ancient scripts. The symbol of , the handwriting is red and bright like fire, with grotesque knots.Those bright red mysterious symbols are neither carved nor chiseled, and have no notches. After hundreds of years of wind and rain erosion, they can still remain the same, with a new color. During the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, the Japanese consul Tokumarakuzo and the famous traveler Torii Ryuzo once traveled thousands of miles across the ocean to China to visit ancient monuments and seek copies for the Red Cliff Book of Heaven. When they came to Mt. , is also full of confusion.When they brought the copy of "Hongya Tianshu" back to Dongying for exhibition, it caused a strong shock in Japan. Visitors crowded shoulder to shoulder, and there was an endless stream.

During this period, French scholars Lei Xiangru and Fei Nanhaier also came to observe the news, and expressed such emotion: "This monument contains absolute mystery, and no one can see through the mystery!" Since then, the name of "Red Cliff Book of Heaven" has spread like wildfire, and it has also become famous because of the subsequent incidents.But to this day, no one has understood the mystery of the Heavenly Book. Since so many people cannot know the mystery, we naturally dare not compete with those experts and scholars.But why did Uncle Zou study this thing?The Hongya Tianshu is far away in Guizhou Province, even an idiot would not go to Tianshan to study the Hongya Tianshu, and Uncle Zou does not suffer from Alzheimer's disease.Xinhong also couldn't figure out the riddles in it. Facing the Red Cliff Heavenly Book that no one could solve, he could only close the manual while shaking his head.

"How about, let's put uncle here first, and go into the cave to have a look." I touched the glowing corpse, and my hands felt a little numb.For some reason, Uncle Zou's corpse turned into this. Could it be that there is really a red demon living in this cave? "Alright." Xinhong sighed, and after he finished speaking, he looked into the tree hole. Judging from the position of Uncle Zou's body, Uncle Zou probably ran out of the tree hole before he died.But for some unknown reason, he died within a few steps. "I'll go with you too." Although Bauer was strong, he would feel flustered if he was alone in the woods, so Xinhong didn't stop him and let him go.

That mysterious woman, wearing a glowing red human bone, walked into the woods inexplicably. All this is too similar to the legend of a female ghost who tricked passers-by to a remote place and then claimed her life.Xinhong didn't believe in ghosts and gods, so he didn't shy away from it at all. After exploring the way into the cave, he went straight into the cave. This cave is different from ordinary caves. It is under a thousand-year-old birch tree whose roots are thicker than an elephant's waist.The roots of the tree seemed to have been artificially dug up, and then a cave was created, and a decaying atmosphere flowed out of the cave.We who study archaeology all know that we can't go in casually, otherwise we will easily be poisoned by poisonous gas, so Xinhong lit a dry branch with a lighter before entering, and then threw it in.

The dry gray branches did not go out immediately after being thrown in, and there was still a little bit of fire. It seemed that the air inside was still connected with the outside world.Xinhong took the lead, Bauer and the three big dogs walked in the middle, and I was at the end.Xinhong specially chose a thick and dry branch, and after lighting it, he carefully held it up as a torch.We just walked into the tree hole, and we couldn't stand firmly on both feet, and our eyeballs almost fell out of the scene in the tree hole. The tree cave was originally pitch black, but as soon as we entered, we saw the mysterious woman wandering in the cave holding a flashlight.This is nothing surprising, we tracked here just to follow that woman.Inside the tree hole is surprisingly large, and it can be seen that it has been artificially transformed.However, there are holes in this hole, and there are more than one hole, at least a hundred holes are distributed.These holes are not small, at least enough for two people to walk side by side.

The woman flicked on the flashlight and hesitated, as if looking for a hole and slipping into it.But with so many openings in front of us, it's really hard to think which one to choose.Looking at these scenes, we were completely carried away, and if the big dog hadn't barked a few more times, it would have remained motionless.As soon as the dog barked, the woman turned her head sharply and glared, as if we had molested her. "Who are you?" The woman asked alertly. "Who are you?" Xinhong asked back. "Who I am is none of your business?" The woman was very rude, but she was quite iconic, and she looked even better when she was angry. "Don't get me wrong, we just want to know what your bone chain is..." Seeing that the two parties had already met, there was no need for circling, so he simply threw out the question. "You mean this?" The woman raised her hand and shook the chain on her hand. "Hongya Tianshu?" My eyes widened, I didn't expect that the words of Hongya Tianshu were engraved on the glowing bone chain. "Tell me, who are you?" The woman suddenly turned her face, pulled out a pistol from nowhere, and pointed it at us. I'm just a small role in archaeology. I haven't seen bullets anywhere, but I can't lose face in front of women, so I pretend to be fearless.Xinhong probably didn't expect that the woman would pull out the gun while talking, so he was also stunned.Ball seemed to want to turn around and run away, but he found that the woman's gun was pointing at him, so he didn't dare to act rashly. "You actually betrayed the country!" Seeing that we didn't speak, the woman forcefully put the shit bowl on our heads. "Hey, you don't want to rant, betray your country, what kind of country you sell, it's almost the same as selling pot." I couldn't understand it, and couldn't help but reply. "So capable? You, come here!" The woman shot the head, and I regretted it as soon as I said it, thinking that I was going to die at the hands of a woman, I was so fucking useless. I stood still, and when the woman got angry, she actually fired a shot, but she deliberately hit the ground to scare me.Xinhong gave me a push, signaling to me not to lose my life for the sake of face, but to take one step at a time and see where this woman came from.I saw that Xinhong had already asked me to do this, so I didn't hold on any longer, and walked over with big strides.This woman probably ran out of a mental hospital, and her speech was completely illogical, and she actually said that we betrayed the country. I think she is a prostitute. After walking over, that woman held me hostage, she was quite courageous.I was so strong, and I felt awkward being held by a little woman.However, just because I approached those caves, I discovered that there are many footprints on the wet and soft soil, of different sizes.These footprints were made with bare feet, and the footprints on the ground were very clear.We are all wearing shoes now, so naturally it cannot be stepped on by this woman, or me, Xinhong, and Ball. However, I couldn't figure it out, these footprints were obviously stepped on by many people together, but judging from the situation in the forest outside, no one must have entered in a hundred years, how could there be so many barefoot footprints here?
