Chapter 41 Chapter 16 Qibao Mountain

"What's the matter, teacher? You seem to be very afraid of that person. Isn't he just a little bit sloppy and dressed in ragged clothes?" I was very surprised by Teacher Ye's overreaction. "It's not a human, it's Ao Yin, let's get out of here!" Teacher Ye pushed and pulled us away immediately after speaking, I didn't even have time to think about what Ao Yin was. Teacher Ye hurriedly ran along the groundwater flow, and he was willing to stop after a few minutes. Teacher Ye was so afraid of the thing just now, it seemed that the thing was not a good thing.I remember that Mr. Ye called that thing "Ao Yin" just now. I have seen this name in an ancient book.Dongfang Shuo of the Han Dynasty wrote a book "Shen Yi Jing", this ancient book once mentioned this name, I remember that Ao Yin is also a monster, and Ao Yin likes to eat human brains!Could it be that the guard is its masterpiece?

"Teacher, is that really Ao Yin, a legendary monster?" I suppressed the excitement in my heart and asked. Teacher Ye looked back worriedly, and after confirming that there was no sound coming from the darkness, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "Aoyin is recorded as a monster in ancient books, but in fact these monsters are just some rare and fierce animals. But it’s just that we call it a monster, it’s not that it doesn’t exist. Aoyin is a primate-like animal, very smart.” Teacher Ye stopped, and then said hesitantly: “You just came in by chance, or are you here now? Get out and forget about everything here!"

"Teacher, what are you talking about? Anyway, I have been your student for several years, and we will stay with you! We will not leave when you are here!" I said while pulling Xinhong to sit down. "Chen Jinwei, you are still the same as before, you haven't changed at all!" Teacher Ye laughed wearily, it seemed that Teacher Ye hadn't had a good rest for several days. "What's going on with this place? Why is there such a place under the well?" Xinhong said, shaking the flashlight around. I looked along the light of Xinhong's flashlight, but my mouth was wide open in surprise at the scene of the underground cave. In front of me was a piece of constantly turbulent water. Probably this is what people often call an underground lake.Behind us was a big rocky mountain. Xinhong's flashlight could not reach the top of the mountain, so we didn't know how high the mountain was.When we saw this underground mountain, we immediately became short of breath. It turned out that the mountain mentioned by Uncle Zou was underground!

We went down from the ground to the well, and then dived here from the bottom of the water. The underground space is not too big, so the mountain should not exceed 100 meters.The underground stone mountain gives people a very depressing feeling, as if the underground stone mountain is about to fall down.There is also a very strange smell here, a mixture of hot and cold water vapor, and a little bit of nitric acid. "Jin Wei, didn't I tell you about my research? This is the place, I have been looking for it for a long time and finally found it!" Teacher Ye said with relief. "However, I don't quite understand what you said about Chang'e flying to the moon in the text message you sent me." I said dejectedly.

"Nuwa's multicolored stone is on the top of the mountain behind us, and they put it on the mountain!" Teacher Ye suddenly exclaimed excitedly. "Five-colored stones? Isn't that only found in ancient myths? You mean that there really are five-colored stones here, the five-colored stones used by Nu Wa to mend the sky?" I asked in disbelief. "That's right, I'm not joking with you, it's true!" Teacher Ye grabbed my hand excitedly and said, "I will definitely find it!" Teacher Ye's expression and behavior reminded me of the Frankensteins of the past in European and American movies, which made me uneasy. I hope Teacher Ye will not get too deep.Five-colored stones, can such stones really exist in this world? I am afraid that they were also made up by people in ancient times to coax children.However, this place does look very mysterious. It is believed that people in ancient times did some sacrificial activities here.

"Teacher, you should have come down from the well too, so have you seen the murals in the well?" I suddenly remembered the murals, so I asked Teacher Ye. "Is it different from the Fuxi and Nuwa that you usually see? In fact, they are Chang Xi and Xihe. This matter is very complicated, but I can tell you with certainty that Chang'e is the descendant of the Nuwa clan!" Teacher Ye affirmed said. "Chang'e is a descendant of the Nuwa tribe? How do you know?" I was surprised by what Teacher Ye said. "Chang'e is the goddess of the moon who gave birth to the moon——Chang Xi, the goddess of the Taiyin. This is already a consensus. And Chang Xi is actually the woman holding the moon in the murals, and she is the descendant of Nuwa!"

Teacher Ye continued to explain. He said that in the "Shan Hai Jing Da Huang Xi Jing" it is recorded like this: "There is a woman Fang Yuyue, and Emperor Jun's wife Chang Xi, and the birth moon is out of ten." In fact, this is Chang'e, which is Chang Xi.Changxi is the god of the moon, and Xihe is the god of the sun.They are all the wives of Emperor Jun, but in ancient times, "wife" does not mean wife, but a high-status woman, which is equivalent to the meaning of queen.In the stone carvings of the Han Dynasty, they all had snake bodies and human heads and turned into Fuxi holding the sun wheel, and Nuwa holding the moon wheel.It's just that people nowadays only remember the story of Chang'e flying to the moon, but they have forgotten the origin of Chang'e.Moreover, Nuwa was also divided into two, Fuxi is actually a clone of Nuwa.

"Even if Chang'e is a descendant of Nuwa and has the characteristics of Nuwa, does this have anything to do with the colorful stones here?" Xinhong asked. "Of course it has something to do with it. Chang'e got this place from what is now Sichuan!" Teacher Ye said excitedly, "I just came back from Moon Bay!" I think Mr. Ye's answer is very strange. How did he know that Chang'e brought the colorful stones from Sichuan to this place, and the Moon Bay that the teacher just mentioned is the Sanxingdui in Sichuan?I was just about to continue asking Mr. Ye, but I saw many dark things began to float on the surface of the water, and they started to swim towards the shore.I snatched the flashlight from Xinhong's hand and shone it. The things in the water turned out to be full of sprites, many sprites with sharp teeth!

"Ms. Ye, look quickly! There are sprites in the water!" I yelled and stood up. Teacher Ye heard me yelling, and he also turned his head to look at the surface of the water. There were more and more monsters floating on the surface of the water, and they slowly swam towards here.They all gaped hungrily, with yellowed teeth that puckered my skin.Now the water is full of spirits of mountains and rivers—sprites. It is impossible to escape from the water, so we have to hide in the mountains first.These sprites like to live in the mountains, but we didn't expect that the mountain they lived in turned out to be this rocky mountain, and now they can only run to their dens.

"Let's hide in the mountains first." Xinhong suggested. "Go up the mountain? Do you know what mountain this is? This is Qibao Mountain!" Teacher Ye said in fear as he looked at the rocky mountain underground. "Seven Treasures Mountain? Doesn't matter if it belongs to Eight Treasures Mountain or Nine Treasures Mountain, it's better than being eaten by sprites here." I'm still willing to go up the mountain. Teacher Ye looked hesitantly at the rocky mountain under the well, and then at the sprites emerging from the water behind him, finally he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, let's go up. You have to be careful later, Wucai Stones are not so easy to get!"

The three of us hurriedly climbed up. The rocky mountain was very slippery, and we slipped and fell from time to time.After climbing a certain distance from the ground, Xinhong's flashlight still couldn't reach the top of the mountain. It seems that we still have to climb up, as long as we don't climb to the monster's lair.Suddenly, I saw a figure not far away climbing up with us, and I took a closer look, and it turned out to be an Ao Yin, Ao Yin who specializes in eating human brains!This terrifies me, I don't want it to punch a hole in my head, and then let it dig out my brain and eat it as tofu. "It's Ao Yin, what's wrong, he's still chasing us!" Teacher Ye shouted angrily. "What to do, if we continue to climb up, maybe Ao Yin is waiting for us up there." I said with some worry. "Stop first, I'll light the fire!" Teacher Ye immediately took out a windproof and waterproof lighter after saying that. I wonder why Mr. Ye suddenly started a fire. Could it be that he thought that all wild beasts are afraid of fire, then he was very wrong.I think that Aoyin and sprites are not afraid of fire, they are humanoid animals.At this time, Aoyin saw us stop, but the flame in Mrs. Ye's hand could not stop Aoyin, instead it rushed towards us at a faster speed, Aoyin's claws were very strong and firm It is sharp, and the stones on the mountain are smashed by its claws.If this claw scratches my face, I'm afraid I will never dare to go out in my life, let alone marry a beautiful girl back home. "You guys help me block it first, and wait until I burn the stone with fire!" Teacher Ye shouted to us anxiously. At such a critical juncture, I will never talk about this and that. Although I don't understand what Teacher Ye is doing, I believe he has his own reasons. Let's start with this guy who eats human brains like tofu. Ao Yin got into a fight. Ao Yin rushed to my side, opened his mouth suddenly, and shot out a tongue with many spikes and a length of more than one meter!Seeing this, Xinhong and I immediately hid aside, Ao Yin's tongue hit a stone hard, and the stone immediately cracked into several pieces!Its tongue is so powerful, no wonder there is a hole in the head of the guard and the real clay figure, it was made by its tongue! "Ms. Ye, please hurry up. It's this time, why are you still burning stones? I'm afraid you will have to burn incense for me in a minute." I urged Teacher Ye with difficulty. Aoin chased us nimbly, smashing stones to pieces every time his tongue shot out of its mouth.Teacher Ye finally heated up a stone, and he yelled loudly, attracting Ao Yin to look at him.Teacher Ye hurriedly took out some pieces of paper from his body, wrapped a hot stone and threw it at the murderous Ao Yin. Seeing all this, Ao Yin seemed to be very frightened, and immediately fled back in fright. "What's going on, so Ao Yin is afraid of this?" I asked Teacher Ye in surprise. "I'm not sure, but it's said in ancient books that Ao Yin is most afraid of hot stones. If they are hit by these stones, they will die. I don't know if it's true or not. Anyway, when Ao Yin comes, I'll run away, I don't have time to burn these stones. If you didn't help me block it today, I wouldn't have time to do it." Teacher Ye replied with a sigh of relief. After hearing Teacher Ye's words, I felt that it was not his first visit to this place, and the set of footprints in the forest should belong to him.I just wanted to ask Mr. Ye if he had been here before, but Xinhong took a flashlight and took pictures everywhere. Instead of looking up, he looked forward, and then suddenly realized: "So that's the case, So that's what the teacher meant by Qibaoshan!"
