Chapter 3 Chapter 3 Ancient Omen

"New dynasty?" Sun Boru was stunned: "Is there such a dynasty in history?" "Why not?" My father asked back: "Who usurped the world in the Western Han Dynasty? From whom did Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu take the world back?" "Ah," Sun Boru exclaimed, "Yes, yes, it's Wang Mang..." "That's right." My father pointed to the first relief with great interest, and said to everyone: "Look, the man in the center of this painting should be Wang Mang, and the one kneeling in front of him is Emperor Ai of the Western Han Dynasty." , or it may be Emperor Han Cheng, no matter which one they are, anyway, they are not jokes, that Emperor Han Cheng is called Liu Ao, who dotes on the beauties Zhao Feiyan and Zhao Hede sisters, in order to win their favor, he would kill himself and other palace girls Later, he died on Zhao Hede's bed, a real death of lust. The next Emperor Ai Liu Xin of the Han Dynasty was even more fucking fucked up. He didn't like any of the three thousand beauties in the harem, but he liked one named Dong Xian's man, once Dong Xian fell asleep on top of him and pressed his sleeves. He was afraid that Dong Xian would be disturbed when he got up, so he cut off his sleeves with a knife. A theory. Later, Emperor Ai of the Han Dynasty Liu Xin wanted to give the world to Dong Xian, but the officials unanimously opposed it, saying that it was better to give it to Wang Mang than to Dong Xian, because Wang Mang had a good disguise at that time, deceived the people and stole the victory of the revolution. Fruit... So there are two people kneeling behind Emperor Ai of the Han Dynasty, a man and a woman. The man should be Dong Xian, and the woman is Zhao Feiyan. A relief, this painting should be the scene of Wang Mang ascending the throne, and a hundred beasts coming to court..."

"Then who is this giant?" Sun Boru asked. "The name of this giant is Ju Wuba," my father explained, "According to historical records, this man was one foot long and ten girth thick. He, three horses don’t move him. When he sleeps, he can only rest his head on a big drum, and eat with iron chopsticks. This person also has a supernatural ability, which can tame wild beasts and drive all beasts to serve him. Wang Mang changed his surname to Giant Mother In the sixth year of Gengshi, he was sent to lead a beast to attack Liu Xiu. According to historical records, Ju Wu Ba was defeated, but judging from this painting, it seems that he was secretly sent by Wang Mang to bury the treasures in the palace treasury... You see This painting clearly shows that the Ju Wuba led all the beasts and human animals, and was sneaking along the path. At this time, the Han soldiers had already invaded the palace, and Wang Mang was killed..."

When my father was studying the reliefs on the stone wall, Yang Ji and Feng Yongan held submachine guns and turned their backs to my father to guard the surroundings. Unknowingly, they found that the light of the gas lamp seemed to let go of the surrounding darkness. The image disappeared in an instant - they walked from a low cave to a relatively open area, so there was such a strong psychological effect. There seemed to be something right in front of him. Although he couldn't see it with his eyes, everyone felt this way. Yang Ji raised the gas lamp to illuminate it, and was surprised to find that it was actually a tree.

This plant is growing in the darkness where the sun is not visible. Its branches and leaves are overgrown, and its color reveals a kind of disgusting filth. I have opened my eyes, so there are such trees that grow underground..." Before finishing the sentence, my father roared, "Get out of the way..." With a sudden jump, he grabbed Yang Ji At the same time, Li Tianxi, Sun Boru and Feng Yongan shot at the plant at the same time. The deafening gunshots erupted, causing the branches of the weird plant to sway non-stop, and slowly squirmed and crawled into the darkness. "Who told you to shoot?" My father roared angrily.

The faces of Li Tianxi, Sun Boru and Feng Yongan were full of frustration. In fact, it is no wonder that they panicked and fired involuntarily. The main reason was that their psychological fear was too strong. Plants, this is already weird enough, but that plant suddenly wriggled like a reptile, and suddenly opened a terrifying mouth to Yang Ji, wanting to devour others, which could not prevent them from losing their minds. Instinctively shoot. "Chief, that thing just now..." Yang Ji escaped from death, still in shock, he stammered and asked, "What the hell is it?" "I can't tell," my father replied. "The most I can tell you is that the strange plant is probably the Hell of Dark Flowers mentioned on the inscription. In this extremely dark place, everything is Abnormal, from now on, you must be careful."

After being harassed by that strange plant, everyone felt more and more that there were murderous intentions hidden everywhere in this terrible place, but how could there be trees growing in this place where there is no sunlight?This question made my father very confused. He told Yang Ji and Feng Yongan to be careful, and to report any abnormal movements around them immediately. Turning around again, and continuing to look at those reliefs, the meaning of the pictures on the reliefs became even more obscure. The sixth relief is Ju Wuba lying on a platform, nine women kneeling around him, in the corner of the picture, a door is slowly opening, and there is a raging flame inside the door, and several skeletons are about to Squeeze out through the crack of the door.

On the seventh relief, all the women are naked and lying on the ground, and there are a few little ghosts jumping around each woman. Looking at the appearance of the ghosts, they seem to be very excited.This painting is also incomprehensible to the previous one. My father was about to continue reading, but suddenly felt that something was wrong. He turned around and carefully counted the women on the painting. There were only eight of them. So where did the ninth woman go? Soon my father found the ninth woman, because the woman was at the bottom corner of the picture, so it was easy to ignore at a glance. The woman in the picture was running fast, and in front of her was a door Unclosed gate embossed with demons.

Seeing the eighth bas-relief again, my father suddenly realized: "Yes, it turns out that this is the method of removing prescriptions..." In the picture, eight women are kneeling and prostrating to the ground. Their expressions are very painful. On their hair, fingers, and their bodies, branches, leaves, flowers and fruits are spreading. The branches, leaves, flowers and fruits are extremely weird and permeate. The gloomy evil spirit... Looking at the ninth relief, my father was stunned for a moment. The ninth relief turned out to be blank, with nothing on it. Could it be that only these eight reliefs have already explained all the treasures and secrets about Wang Mang's new dynasty?While in doubt, Sun Boru approached: "Sir, these paintings mean..."

"Let me tell you," pointing to the mural behind him, my father said in a sad tone: "Comrades, what you are seeing now is the destruction and oppression of the working people by the dark and corrupt ruling class. You should first look at this Ju Wuba, although he was born in a poor peasantry, he has become the most steadfast slave of the exploiting class. He brought all the treasures of the new dynasty here, sacrificed himself and sacrificed to the gods, expressing that he would use his own ghost to protect these treasures , I really don’t realize it until I die, and I don’t repent. Let’s look at these eight women... No, it’s nine... It’s not right... It doesn’t matter whether it is eight or nine, in short, there are eight women among them She was deeply poisoned by the feudal exploiting class ideology, and voluntarily used prescribing techniques to turn herself into a ghost, but the ninth woman woke up at the last moment and bravely fought against the ruling class. Look, she escaped from this gloomy ghost town, went to the liberated area, and joined the revolutionary ranks... No, this was almost two thousand years ago, and there was no liberated area at that time..."

"Chief, what is the method of curative effect?" Feng Yongan asked in a daze. "It's a cruel method used by the corrupt ruling class to oppress the people," my father explained. "Look, those eight women were originally real people, but after being manipulated by the ruling class, they all grew out of their bodies." The stems and leaves..." "But chief, how can there be flower stalks and leaves growing on a human body?" Feng Yong'an couldn't understand this question, so he humbly asked for advice. "Yeah, how can there be flower stems and leaves growing on the human body?" My father said to himself, how the hell would I know such a weird question?If I knew, wouldn't I also be a corrupt ruling class?But if this issue is not discussed thoroughly, if the soldiers cannot arouse their bitter hatred for the ruling class, then this ideological work will be considered in vain.He had an idea, and said: "Have you always seen the white-haired girl? Think about the white-haired girl who was forced to hide in the ruined temple by the landlord Lao Cai, with white hair all over her body... Comrades, think about it, How cruel is that ruling class, they can even make white hair grow on us, and a few flowers, leaves and stems grow on us, so what is it?"

Hearing my father's words, Yang Ji suddenly realized: "No wonder... I said why the tree still has two legs. At that time, I felt that something was wrong. It turned out that the ruling class did it." "That's right..." My father's voice trembled suddenly. Wang Mang established a new dynasty and quickly destroyed it in the early years of the AD, so it would be two thousand years in a few days. Why is the woman with flowers and leaves growing on her body still alive in this terrible cave? Everyone continued to move forward. After father's explanation just now, everyone became more careful now. This is a world that is completely opposite to the laws of the Yang world. It is not wrong to say that you have stepped into the gate of hell. Yang Ji, who was walking in the front, stopped suddenly, and raised the gas lamp in his hand high. My father leaned forward, looked forward, and could not help but cry out. I saw that directly in front of me was an empty area, as if it was a large underground plaza. There was a faint blue light above the open area for unknown reasons, allowing people to see everything here clearly.Not far in front, there are a few weird plants with broad leaves and thick stems, flowers and fruits, and they are wandering there. Seeing everyone approaching, that thing immediately squirmed towards this side. "Chief," Yang Ji hurriedly reported, "It was this thing that almost bit me just now." My father was taken aback for a moment, and looked at the thing carefully.If he hadn't studied the reliefs beforehand, it would have been difficult to connect such an ugly plant with a woman, but after looking at the reliefs, he found that this evil plant looked like a woman everywhere. Its hair, hands, arms, and ten fingers are all clearly displayed, but they are only in the shape of plant branches and leaves, but its legs are inserted into the soil, absorbing nutrients from this dark and damp mud to maintain its life.At first, my father suspected that this thing was a woman hiding herself in the stems and leaves of trees, but after looking around, I couldn't find a figure hidden in the branches and leaves at all. I can only say that it was stalked by a living person. Although the derived plants look weird, that's what happened in front of them. In this open space, apart from a few weird things wriggling towards the father and his party, there is also a stone building full of eerie aura. There are lights in the windows of the rooms of the building, allowing people to see the darkness at a glance. The things in it can be seen clearly. The stone building looks like a cold palace. A platform extends from the second floor. On the platform is a round altar. On both sides of the altar are burning phosphorus fires that flicker, and in the middle lies a white figure. Although it is far away, But from the shape of the figure, it can be seen that it is a young woman. Looking at the wandering monster, my father thought hard, but suddenly, he yelled: "I remembered, I remembered." "What did the chief remember?" Sun Boru and the others looked at my father eagerly. "I remember what this thing is." Pointing to the weird plant, my father's voice trembled. "What is it?" Everyone asked in unison. "This thing has a name, it's called Cordyceps sinensis." My father told everyone: "That was when I was five years old, my grandpa told me that I often saw such a thing in places where ancient secret treasures were buried. When the feudal emperors were faced with the ruin of their country, they would carefully select nine court ladies in the harem, called ling fou, and then let them swallow a specially prepared secret recipe. , people will lose their minds, and then order people to take these nine women to the burial place of the treasure, put a kind of stinging insect eggs into their bodies, and then pour hot wax all over their bodies, so that The adult insects hatched in their bodies could not break out of their bodies, so the adult insects slowly turned into another thing during the long years of confinement. This kind of thing looked like a plant in spring and summer, with stems and leaves. Flowers, and even fruit, but if the weather is cold, these stems, leaves, and flowers will turn into a terrible bug, but whether it is stems, leaves, flowers or bugs, they are highly corrosive. In the early years, my grandfather told me that you must not let your body touch this kind of thing, otherwise, the thing will penetrate into your body, and it will not take long before your body will grow a strange plant Come……" Everyone was horrified when they heard it: "It's so scary..." "Things are likely to be more terrifying than this." My father continued: "But the situation here is even more weird. It stands to reason that there must be nine spirit pots to produce Cordyceps sinensis, but we only saw eight on the relief. One obviously ran away, could it be that my grandfather told me wrong? Or if there are only eight women, then this thing can no longer be called Cordyceps sinensis?" "Why do you care so much?" Li Tianxi became impatient, and took out a melon grenade: "Chief, that thing is coming soon, do you want to give it a small melon to taste?" "Lao Li, this is your fault," Yang Ji objected, "Didn't the chief educate us just now? This woman, like the white-haired girl, is also a working people who has been tortured by landlords and old money. Shall we tell them first?" , we are the people's team, we are here to rescue them..." My father couldn't laugh or cry: "Yang Ji, you pighead, this thing has been hiding in the ground for almost two thousand years, and the poison she suffered is so deep that even their bones are soaked black, you tell them that there is something wrong with it." It’s useless, give me a quicker, melon grenade hello.” Although Li Tianxi doesn't like to talk, he has a straightforward and cheerful personality. He has long seen that strange thing that doesn't tree people and people doesn't like it. He heard my father's order, and immediately pulled the string of the melon grenade and pointed it at it. The thing was thrown. The little grenade flew over in the air, and saw a huge leaf protruding from the thing. There was actually a hole in the leaf, and it swallowed the little melon grenade all at once.It seems that such a small melon grenade can't feed it at all, and the thing continued to wriggle, crawling towards everyone with its teeth and claws. Suddenly there was a bang, and the small melon grenade exploded, and the ugly thing was blown to pieces in an instant, and a piece of broken branches and leaves flew in the air. "It's just such a thing? Is it just that?" Li Tianxi muttered, followed everyone and continued to walk forward. After walking a few steps, he felt something moving behind him. When he looked back, he couldn't help but screamed. Everyone hastily turned their heads and followed Li Tianxi's fingers, and suddenly everyone's scalp felt indescribably numb. On the ground, the broken branches and rotten leaves were still wriggling, like irregularly shaped worms. Those broken branches and leaves were gathered together, and the stems and leaves were automatically glued together. Watching helplessly, everyone watched such a weirdly shaped plant get up from the ground, and continued to squirm and chase after everyone. "This thing can't even be blown up to death?" Yang Ji was dumbfounded. "This thing is only afraid of fire," my father said, "I heard from my grandfather in the early years. He once checked foreign books of foreigners and said that this kind of thing is some kind of compound cell organism. Every piece of it is similar to It is the same as a whole, it is alive, unless you burn it with fire, otherwise it will linger on you. In the past, the emperors who lost their countries used them to guard their treasures, no matter who took them After finding the treasure here, this thing will wriggle and slowly chase after it, because this thing crawls slowly, and can't drill out of the ground to see the sun, but can only slowly drill under the ground, so it often happens after many years. If you are chased by this thing, then the family who took the treasure will be in bad luck, often the whole family will be killed by this thing, and I don’t know what happened.” "No wonder..." Feng Yong'an exclaimed: "There was such a thing in our hometown before, there was a beggar, it should be considered abject poverty, right? But one day he suddenly made a fortune, and turned into a landlord. So I bought a lot of maids and servants, and since then I have been determined to domineering and exploit the working people, but I didn't expect that one day, the whole family will die, and the dead people will turn into strange plants. The locals were terrified, and they didn't know what was going on, so they set fire to it and burned all those things... Now that I think about it, it should be that the beggar picked up the treasure and was killed by the beggar. Cordyceps sinensis, who is in charge of guarding the treasure, chased after her..." "Since it's something harmful, why keep it?" Sun Boru took out a bottle of alcohol from his satchel: "With such a bottle of wine, let this thing be wiped out." As he spoke, Sun Boru opened the bottle cap, ignited the high-concentration alcohol used for disinfection, then weighed the Molotov cocktail with his hand, and said, "Sterilize your dirty thing!" He raised his hand and threw the bottle over. The incendiary bottle fell on the thing, and there was a loud pop, and the high-concentration alcohol exploded in the burning, enveloping the thing in raging flames in an instant.Where the fire started, the figure of a woman was struggling desperately in the flames. Accompanied by this fierce struggle, there was also a miserable howling sound that sounded like a soul-stirring sound.The miserable howl was long and continuous, but as the strong fire light quickly dimmed, the howling sound stopped suddenly. Seeing that thing burned into a pile of ashes, Li Tianxi snorted: "That's all." He followed everyone forward with a gun in his hand, and after two steps, he found that there was a rotten leaf in front of him that was just blown away by a small melon grenade , and said: "There is another fish that slipped through the net..." He stepped on it while talking. "Get out of the way!" Hearing my father's roar, it was too late to stretch out his hand to pull Li Tianxi, so he flew out, kicking Li Tianxi staggeringly forward, and before Li Tianxi's body touched the ground, his father A big hand like iron tongs had already grabbed his collar: "Have you forgotten what I just said? If you touch this thing, you will be doomed. How dare you step on it?" "Chief...it won't hurt if you step on it?" Li Tianxi knew that he had caused a disaster, and his face turned pale with fright: "I still have shoes on my feet..." "It's useless even if you wear a pair of iron shoes." As the father said, he took a dagger from Li Tianxi's waist and threw it in front of the rotten leaf. Generally, the dagger has been wrapped up.But the dagger was too sharp, and the residual leaf wrapped around the edge of the dagger, instantly cutting himself into countless pieces. The pieces of broken leaves wriggled on the ground, and after a short time they pieced together into a strange shape, and continued to wrap around the dagger, and it turned out to be endless, which made Li Tianxi's expression change involuntarily. Seeing the wicked blade wriggling, my father commanded: "Burn this thing immediately, and leave nothing but ashes." Sun Boru stepped forward, tore off a piece of cloth, dipped it in engine oil for cleaning the gun, ignited it and threw it on the blade. After a while, the blade turned to ashes.At this time, two more man-eating spirit trees squirmed in from a distance, and there seemed to be a few more in the distance, forming an outflanking formation towards this side. "Chief, do you want to destroy all these things?" Sun Boru asked for instructions. My father made a careless gesture: "Don't worry about it for now, it's important to rescue Ding Sifan first." Everyone followed behind my father and walked to the weird stone building in the center. They walked around the building, looking for the entrance of the building, but after looking around, they found that the building turned out to be a whole. Like a huge stone, there is no entrance at all. It's really strange, if there is no entrance, how did Ding Sifan get in? Everyone did not give up, and continued to search around the huge cylinder. After less than half a circle, my father noticed that the surface of the cylinder was undulating, engraved with patterns of various shapes, and these patterns were between humans and animals. Ferocious facial makeup, one by one is indescribably ferocious and sinister. Each of the masks is extremely large, some have rhino horns on their heads, some have protruding fangs, some have only one huge strange eye, and some have human-like eyes, but are comparable to any beast Both are scary. There is no way to enter. Could it be that the figure of the thing that captured Ding Sifan is taller than the Juba in the late Western Han Dynasty? Also, what are these weird faces carved into the boulders?Is it also the same hint as the previous reliefs? My father stood there, continuing to inspect this strange megalithic building with his eyes, but he was struggling to recall the treasure hunting secrets that my grandfather told him when he was young. He still remembered that my grandfather once told him, Fang's technique is only used for hidden treasures. Since ancient times, it has been so mysterious that no one can see its secrets.However, there are people who care about everything in this world, not to mention the treasures that are buried like hills? Since ancient times, the folks have formed many secret rivers and lakes groups dedicated to treasure hunting. This group is divided into five branches, each with a name, called Xuan, Ji, Dong, Tian, ​​and Di.Also known as the Five Gates of Xuanji, these five gates are dedicated to their respective Gods of Wealth. The Gate of Xuanzi is dedicated to the black tiger Zhao Gongming, the gate of Jizi is dedicated to Guan Yu and Guan Yunchang, and the gate of Dongzi is dedicated to Bigan, a famous minister of the Shang Dynasty. Because of the theory of seven orifices in Bigan's heart, this door is named "dong".Since what these five schools do is secretly spying on the royal secrets and cracking the method of preventing prescriptions, once the outside world hears about it, it will inevitably arouse the suspicion of the royal family and bring about the catastrophe of extermination of the family, so the methods of the five schools are never used. According to rumors, but the patriarch enshrined in the family has nowhere to hide. Once someone asks, they will shirk as the God of Wealth. So Chinese culture has been passed down to the present, and there are five Gods of Wealth, but almost no one can understand the real reason. Make it clear. Just because the skills of the five sects are not spread to the outside world, this kind of knowledge loses the social possibility of "communication". Therefore, people of the five sects are groping in the dark, and often they can't even get news from the street talk and hearsay. , can only be told by people who have found the hidden treasure. In our Xia family, only the grandpa had personally entered the place where the treasure is hidden, and my grandpa was lazy and didn't care about these trivial matters. When I got it to my father, because he always regarded these things as nonsense, at this time he suddenly needed Using this hidden knowledge, he suddenly felt powerless. Looking at the fierce and ferocious faces on the stone buildings, my father only felt that his mind was in chaos.He really couldn't remember whether he heard my grandfather talk about these things, but he had a strong feeling that behind these facial makeups, there was a great danger hidden. There was an explosion in the back, and the flames soared into the sky, and my father didn't need to look back, and my father knew that another man-eating tree was burned by Yang Ji and the others.According to the records, there must be nine women to use this kind of surgery, but everything here is strange. The relief shows that a woman escaped at the end. Could it be said that there are not enough women to perform the surgery? ?If it can't be said, there are obviously several spirit fou man-eating trees wriggling here. If it can be said, why must the number of nine women be? Also, if it was an accident that a human sacrifice escaped, how could it be engraved on the relief?The relief has been deposited in this dark place for two thousand years, and it is still clearly identifiable. Regardless of its craftsmanship or the craftsmen recruited at that time, all designs should have been approved by Wang Mang, and no one will be allowed to be rash. Change.And this means that allowing a woman to escape is something that even Wang Mang knows about. My father was looking for the entrance to the huge columnar building. Yang Ji was a little anxious waiting. He kicked the soil on the ground with his foot, and suddenly saw a bright arc flash, and kicked out a pigeon. A shiny bead the size of an egg, the soft light emitted by the bead instantly illuminates the surrounding area. "Chief, look here is a night star..." Yang Ji bent down to pick up the bead. When my father looked back, he was overwhelmed with shock, and blurted out: "Don't touch that thing, don't say the name of this thing..." But his father's warning came too late, Yang Ji had already said his words: "Chief, here is a night pearl..." Suddenly something popped out from under the bead, before he could see what it was, there was a whoosh, Yang Ji screamed, and flew out in the air, the thing picked up the bead, and disappeared into the ground in an instant. Only a thumb-sized hole was left in the ground. My father roared and ran towards Yang Ji who fell in the distance: "Yang Ji..." He rushed to Yang Ji's side and helped Yang Ji up. Yang Ji smiled bitterly and wanted to get up, but he opened his mouth, But he just spit out mouthfuls of blood. Sun Boru rushed forward to treat him. After taking his pulse, Sun Boru looked at my father solemnly and shook his head. Just like that, another general went in without a sound. My father was distressed. He stood up slowly and said to everyone weakly: "Listen now, this place... is too abnormal, wait a minute If you see something again, don’t just call it by name. If you see a shiny round thing, call it a dead man’s eye. If you see a yellow metal that can be used to buy things, call it a dead man. Hands, because there are many strange things hiding under the ground in this place, those things guard everything here, and once you say their names, they will come out and snatch you... We can't snatch them, that's it." "Chief, are there ghosts in this world?" Seeing Yang Ji's body gradually cooling down, Li Tianxi couldn't help asking. "No!" My father said decisively: "If anyone insists on saying yes, it is only because there are some phenomena that we still cannot explain. There are no ghosts, and there are only things we don't know about." "But this underground..." "The things hidden in the ground are the same as those spirit fou just now. They are all burial devices," my father explained. Hope, so they will never allow anyone to take away the treasure here, so they have to slaughter a large number of human animals in the place where the treasure is buried, and use their wronged souls to... just make these dead people become another kind of terrible Things, guarding the treasure here. In short, the things hiding in the ground have been lurking for two thousand years, and they are more terrifying than we can imagine, so we try not to disturb these things... Hurry up and find Ding Sifan, go back and talk about it. " Looking up at the cylindrical building, Li Tianxi said: "Chief, now that Ding Sifan is on top, but we can't get up, do you want us to climb up and rescue her?" At this time, the ground suddenly trembled, and it was clear that there was something huge wriggling underground, as if it wanted to crawl out. Everyone looked at each other and shouted in unison: "Quick!" Buildings rushed past.While running, everyone took out the rope from their waists and threw it out. One end of the rope was tied with an iron block, and it was placed on the railing around the platform on the second floor of the building. Suddenly, there was a boom on the ground, and the things underground had broken through the ground. , when all the people smelled the pungent stench and blood, and felt the violent gust of wind on their backs, they were already swinging in the air with their hands on the ropes. Da da da da... There was a sudden gunshot, it was Li Tianxi and Sun Boru, with one hand wrapped around the rope and the other holding a submachine gun, they turned around and fired at the things behind them. The reason why Li Tianxi and Sun Boru took the risk to shoot was because they wanted to rescue my father. In terms of skills, my father is no worse than anyone here, but he is unwilling to throw Yang Ji's body to the thing that came out of the ground. He brought eight soldiers out on this trip, and now there are only four soldiers including him. People, those brothers who died, except for Ma Tianzong's dead body, the rest of them have nowhere to look for the dead body, leaving Yang Ji alone and running away, that's not something my father can do. So when my father threw one end of the rope and wrapped it around the railing of the second-floor platform of the circular building, he dragged his hand and wrapped the rope around Yang Ji's body. Ji's body was thrown high into the sky. Feng Yong'an had just climbed onto the platform, and when he heard the shout and looked back, he was shocked, and hurriedly pulled the rope to pull Yang Ji's body up. And so my father stayed on the ground. But he didn't stand there stupidly. When he casually threw Yang Ji's body to Feng Yongan, he had already soared into the air and jumped a long distance. Before his body landed, he heard a bang behind him. There was a loud noise, the huge monster had already drilled out of the ground, and suddenly rushed over from behind. His person was still in the air, and he could smell the strong smell of blood behind him, the smell of foul-smelling deep underground soil, and the accompanying The fierce wind roar that was chasing after him. Li Tianxi and Sun Boru were shocked when they saw this, they were hanging in the air, shouting desperately like crazy, shooting at the things that came out of the ground recklessly.But the bullets that were dense like raindrops could not stop the thing that was chasing after him quickly, his father's toes were not firmly on the ground, and he had already jumped out of the sky, but the sound of the fierce wind still pursued him tightly. There was a loud bang, this should be someone throwing a grenade, but the huge explosion was definitely not caused by a few grenades. The violent shock wave swept my father like a leaf in a strong wind, fluttering It flew out, rolling and hitting the ground non-stop. Every time he turned over, his father watched a weird man-eating spirit tree baring its teeth and claws at him. The man-eating tree was getting bigger and bigger, and the distance was getting closer. My father tried desperately to stop the pain in his body. Rolling, but the shock wave from that explosion was too strong, and his strength couldn't fight it at all.Seeing that with a few more somersaults, he was about to bump headfirst into the man-eating spirit tree waiting for the rabbit. In desperation, my father roared, put his hands and fingers together, and slammed into the ground. excruciating pain. The father said: The nails on his ten fingers were all peeled off after he thrust it with all his strength. But his hand was inserted into the soil like a nail, and the violent explosion shock wave continued to hit, rolling my father's body and swaying back and forth, but in the end, he was only 100 meters away from the man-eating tree. He stopped a step away, even if he hesitated a little at that time, or the speed of inserting his fingers into the ground was a little slower, he has already become the food of this spirit fou man-eating tree. The spirit cannibal tree seemed very disappointed. Slowly, my father saw a broad and fat leaf stretching towards him, trying to grab him. There were constant gunshots from behind, mixed with the panicked shouts of Li Tianxi and the three of them, the ground reverberated with heavy reverberations, and something huge was rushing towards him again. The sound came so fast, when my father felt the shaking of the ground, the things behind him were already very close. There have always been strange things in ancient tombs, deep seas and underground caves.And people who are looking for ancient relics are more in contact with this kind of thing.My great-grandfather was a scholar of heaven and man, participated in all kinds of creation, entered many unimaginable mysterious areas, searched for treasures, and made researches and conclusions on many strange things that existed in such places. According to my grandfather's point of view relayed by my father, it is common for ancient relics to be sealed for thousands of years and eight hundred years in the buried place. There are also strange things buried by ancient secret tribes underground. Who are those ancient secret tribes? What kind of creatures, my grandfather is not clear, the reason is that he can't understand. 据我祖爷爷说，在青海时他曾于祈连山下进入过一个上古遗族的埋藏之地，那里的岩壁上画着许多他根本看不懂的怪物，那些怪物的脑袋巨大无比，看起来让人心里发毛，里边积存的宝物也不知道是什么，不知道那些宝物是什么最好，因为你无法叫出这些宝物的名字。 在藏宝之地有许多怪异的东西守护着宝物，这些东西非阴非阳，非死非活，你说这些东西是活物吧，可是它能够在藏宝之地被人发现之前，一动不动的躺在岩土层中沉睡个千年万载，甚至会最终成为石头一样的东西。你说它是死物吧，可一旦你叫出宝物的名字，这东西就扑楞一下子醒来了。 我祖爷爷认为，那些宝藏的守护者是被瘗方之术魇住了，除非它们听到了宝物的名字，否则它们是不会醒来的。 我祖爷爷认为宝藏的名字就是唤醒那些可怕的守护者的咒语，这就好比道家方术，只要你念对了咒语，就会有小鬼跑来为你搬运财物一样的道理。 但是我父亲却认为，与其说宝物的名字是咒语，还不如说是密码指令更容易理解，那可怕的守护者就象是一条忠实的狗，听到有人说出宝物的名字，就会凶狠的跳出来，择人而噬。 总之很可怕。 所以，在藏宝之地就有了许多怪异的禁忌，这其中最重要的是不能叫出宝物的名字，如果你看到夜明珠，千万不能叫夜明珠，要叫“死人眼”，见到黄金也不能叫黄金，要叫“死人手”，总之就是不能惊动蜇伏之中的上古遗宝守护者，那些东西都是超出人类理解范畴的怪物，能不招惹还是尽量不招惹的好。 但是杨集不明就里，说出了夜明珠三个字，结果惊动了躲藏在地下的守护者，那东西既然破土而出，当然要逮住这些有血有肉的活人大块朵颐了，就好象一条睡了好长时间的疯狗，见了骨头是不会客气的。 此时地下的邪物已经破土而出，再想让它们消停下来，那可就难了，所以耳听身后那庞大的东西疾扑而至，我父亲猛一咬牙，将他的裤腰带解了下来。 夏疯子的裤腰带是有名目的，在战场上，我父亲的对手们最害怕的就是他来这一手，因为我爹的裤腰带是特制的，说是腰带，其实是一个长条形的带子，里边装的全都是炸药，如果他当着谁的面把这玩艺儿给解下来，对手们无不闻风丧胆。夏疯子脱裤子——玩了命了。 总之，谁要是惹火了我爹，逼得他脱了裤子，那肯定是麻烦小不了，这条裤腰带一炸，我爹是死是活你甭管，反正他在战场上的对手们是没一个活下来的。 顺手把裤腰带上的雷火管一拉，我爹双脚猛一用力，迎着身后扑来的什么东西撞了过去：“去你妈的，老子跟你拼了！”一声未止，他的身体在空中猛的一转，顺手将裤腰带掷了过去。 轰的一声巨响，飞在空中的我父亲还没有看清楚那东西的模样，就被爆炸掀起来的一物撞了过来，那一下撞击好狠，正中我父亲的胸口，痛得我父亲惨叫一声，陀螺一样迅速的向着地面摔了下去。 地面上突然伸出两只惨白的手掌，急切的攫向我父亲，那双手好似女人的，细长惨白，连打了卷的指甲都是细长细长的。 我父亲的身体突然在空中停了一下。 那双惨白的手呆了一呆，突兀的向我父亲的颈子上抓了过来。可是这时候平台上的孙波茹三人齐声呐喊用力，三条绳索两条缠住我父亲的腿，一条缠在我父亲的腰上，用力向上一拉，我父亲的身体啪的一声，落到了平台之上。 死里逃生，惊魂未定，我父亲的大脑一片空白。他呆呆的望着平台下面，只见一个巨大的人影正在那里毫无目标的大踏步走着，那巨大的足音震得洞穴都摇摇欲坠。 “原来是这么一个东西……”我父亲恍然大悟：“我怎么就没想到呢？” 千钧一发之际将我父亲从死亡中救出，孙波茹三人也是吓得心脏砰砰砰狂跳不止，好半晌，他们才慢慢的恢复过来，走到我父亲身边，看着那大步流星的巨人：“这个家伙……会不会就是那个巨毋霸？” 我父亲摇了摇头：“这个东西的名字应该叫漯嬴，根本就不是人，可是你要是说他不是人，他偏偏又不是别的东西，那它到底是什么，三言两语还真不太容易解释清楚。” “那它就是妖怪？”李天喜愣头愣脑的问道。 “它也不是妖怪……”我父亲急燥起来：“就这么跟你们说吧，这个东西是封建统治阶级残酷剥削欺压劳动人民的铁证，他就是两千年前，替王莽开凿这个地下洞窟的工匠们，都是手工艺人，每个人的成份都是赤贫。” “开凿这个岩洞的工匠们？”李天喜三人满眼迷懵：“那就一个巨人啊，看他那个头多高……” “是这么一回事，”我父亲详细的对他们解释道：“早年亡国的皇帝们在埋藏秘宝的时候，都要用到成千上万的工匠们没日没夜的苦干，那些工匠们承受着繁重而危险的工作，许多人被巨石砸死，或是跌入悬崖活不见人死不见尸，那些侥幸活下来的工匠们，临押他们的士兵就会在工程结束时把一种药物掺入到他们的食物之中，这种药物叫鲚霜，据说是从大海中的鲛人体内提练出来的，人服食了之后就会变得特别敏感，哪怕是贴身的衣服磨擦到身体上，都会感觉到刀扎一般的剧烈痛疼。然后监押者将这些工匠们全部捆绑起来，用沸油灌入体内，烧烂他们的内脏，再将他们全身的肉贴着骨头剔净。在此之后将他们体内的骨头全部拆开，然后把所有工匠的同一种骨头放在一起，趾骨和趾骨放在一起，腕骨和腕骨放在一起，把这些骨头再浸入到鲚霜药液中，经过九九八十一天之后，这些所有的骨头都长在了一起，但新长成的骨头仍然同以前的形状一样，只是变得巨大无比，比如说上万个工匠的趾骨浸泡在药液中，最后长出来的是一只巨大的趾骨。然后监押者再将这些骨头对接起来，放回到从所有的工匠身上剔下来的肉堆里，重新泡回到一个盛满了鲚霜药液的巨大容器之中，最后把容器封闭起来，埋在宝藏的下面，这样经过九九八十一天后，药液里又重新生长出一个巨人。这就是你们现在看到的，虽然它的样子与人没有任何区别，但是它没有灵魂，也没有思想，有的只是那些工匠们临死之前的怨毒，如果进来寻宝的人被这东西看到，那就会死得极惨。” 李天喜三人听得心惊胆战：“这些皇帝们，真不是东西，竟然这么残忍……真应该把他们再从坟墓里挖出来，锉骨扬灰，也解不了心头之恨。” 我父亲趁机对他们进行思想教育：“是啊，这些皇帝贵族们对人民群众犯下了如此滔天大罪，可是他们自己却没有丝毫的悔过之心，反而梦想着长生不老，想把他们的黑暗统治永永远远的维持下去。” “哼！他做梦！”李天喜愤怒的说道，端起枪来，对准正在远处大步的走动的巨人打出了一梭子子弹，那怪物却没有任何知觉，仍然迈着震慑人心的大步在地上飞快的跑动着，也不知这东西自己乱跑个什么劲。 “先不要管它了，”我父亲皱起了眉头：“有这么一个怪东西挡着去路，等我们找到丁思梵离开的时候，还真是个麻烦事……咿，那祭坛上的女人哪儿去了？” 大家回头一看，只见那圆形的祭坛上，空无一物，早在他们刚刚走进来的时候看到的那个白衣女人，竟然不见了。 李天喜三人目瞪口呆：“我们也不知道，我们上来之后就没顾得上看她一眼，只顾冲那个从地底下钻出来的巨人开枪扔手榴弹了……” “真是怪事……”我父亲若有所思的站了起来：“谁有多余的裤腰带借我一条？” 李天喜想笑，可是眼前的怪事却让他笑不出来，结果脸上憋出了一副哭不是哭笑不是笑的表情，递给了我父亲一条绳子。我父亲顺手把绳子系在腰上，看着圆形祭坛后面那扇洞开的大门，说了一声： “大家小心了，门里边的东西——无论它是什么，肯定比我们以前遇到的更不容易对付。” 穿过那圆形祭坛，我父亲一马当先，大步流星的向着那门里走去，李天喜三人持枪在手，紧跟在我父亲的身边。 那其实不能说是一道门，确切的说，那只能算作是一座宫殿的废墟，两根孤零零的巨型石柱，于这黑暗世界保持着永恒的沉默。 四个人从石柱正中走进去，迎面就是坍塌的巨大石壁，其间夹杂着形形色色的陶瓷碎片，两排巨石刻成的黑盔武士，东倒西歪的栽在地上，或断头，或折脚，仿佛末日般的景象，看在眼里极尽苍凉。 “我明白了，”看到这里的情形，我父亲恍然大悟：“怪不得我们在那根石柱下面怎么也找不到进入口，其实这座地下宫殿的正门是在这里，应该是由于地震让下面的地面塌陷了下去，把下面的人工挖出来的洞给填埋了，结果暴露出了这座宫殿的地基，让我们费了好大的力气。” “要是这样的话，那么丁思梵又是怎么上来的呢？”李天喜不知所措的看着四周，问道。 “只怕这个答案，是我们最不愿意听到的。”我父亲苦笑着，突然大喝一声：“全体注意，准备战斗，不管是什么东西把丁思梵弄到这里来，要想让我们相信这其中没有恶意，可不是那么容易的事情。” “首长，你看……那个东西……”孙波茹凑了过来，指着乱石丛中的一块斑驳醒目的东西让我父亲看。 我父亲走过去看了看，先是莫名其妙的抬头望了望大家，又低头看了看，突然诧声道：“这个……这个好象是山神奶奶的塑像啊。” 的确是山神奶奶的塑像，大家把那尊塑像立了起来，越看越看不明白，怪不得大家在外边的时候看到山神奶奶的塑像，觉得塑像人物的衣服特别奇怪，现在才有点明白过来，敢情这位山神奶奶身上穿的是汉时代的服饰。 汉代女子的服饰以短上衣为主，裤子为无裆的管裤，后公元前87年，大将军霍光专权，他的外孙女儿成为了上官皇后，为了防止皇帝和别的宫女胡来，就下令宫中妇女都必须要穿上有裆并在前后用带系住的“穷裤”，从那以后有裆的裤子就流行开来。 这座山神奶奶的塑像就是短上衣、绲裆裤，可知这位山神奶奶正是汉时宫人。 更奇怪的事情还在后面，大家再往里走，又发现了一尊山神奶奶的塑像，细看塑像人物的相貌，跟前一幅明显有所区别，这分明是两个不同的人。 前面又发现了几尊塑像，找到最后，居然一共发现了八尊塑像，如果加上外边那一尊的话，塑像恰好是九尊。 刚刚发现的这九尊塑像，头上挽的正是汉时的发髻，每一个人都与其它人有区别，分别是坠马髻、倭坠髻、瑶台髻、垂云髻、盘桓髻、百合髻、分鬟髻与同心髻，不一而足。 在将塑像立起来的时候，孙波茹无意中搬动了一块石头，忽然他大叫起来：“首长，这上画也有一幅画……” “是吗？”我父亲犹豫了一下：“不用看了吧，左右不过是王莽是如何残杀人民群众的，赶快抓紧时间找到丁思梵，离开这里要紧。” 大家又向里边走，可没走出多远，就听见了咚咚的脚步声，远远的就看到那巨型怪人正在黑暗中奔跑着，原来已经走到了平台的尽头。 “不对啊，”我父亲想不明白：“我们在下面的时候，明明看到这上面完好无缺，甚至还看到窗口里边的灯光的，怎么这么会儿工夫就什么都不见了？” 突然之间我父亲想起来什么：“快，快一点把刚才那倒塌折石壁上的浮雕拼凑起来，看看上面画的到底是什么！” 四个人七手八脚，把那倾塌的石壁重新对接起来，终于，一幅模模糊糊的图画出现在地面上，我父亲半跪在石壁上，仔细的看了一看，顿时倒吸了一口冷气。 只见那浮雕之上，刻着九尊山神奶奶，居中的体态姿式与外边那一尊一般无二，其余的八尊，环列第九尊排开，每一个山神奶奶都呈顶礼膜拜状，好象是在恭迎中间那一尊山神奶奶一样。 我父亲看了看大家：“你们看明白这幅画的意思了吗？” “这幅画……”孙波茹猜测道：“好象是逃走的那第九个女人又回来了……” “一点没错，”我父亲脸色慎戒的点了点头：“是那逃走的第九个女人回来了，而她就是民间传说中的九婶。” “还有最后一个问题，这个返回来的第九个女人，她到底是谁？” “丁思梵！”不知道谁回答了一句。 霎时间，阴寒四起，每个人都感受到一种不寒而粟的恐惧。
