Chapter 3 Decanic water locust wood, heaven and earth are like a magic circle

In front of us, is a rich sense of history of the ruins of ancient buildings, it is located in the hinterland of the canyon, covering a small area, only a hundred or so rooms, think it may be a stone and wood structure, but thousands of years of wind and rain, presented in front of us, just a green vine full of stone walls, in the wordless to tell us the story of the past.

This canyon is the general appearance of the lower width and the upper narrow, the narrowest place is only a line of sky, the widest is only more than ten meters, like an inverted bowl, the environment below is completely different from the outside, so these ruins in front of us can be preserved quite completely. We approached the walls cautiously, for the rain and vegetation had not seen much in front of us—nothing but stone walls of rubble, and the occasional debris of badly weathered bone.

Even so, the three of them from the Religious Affairs Bureau were still very excited, and Yang Cao proudly said to Jia Wei, didn't he say that there were no ruins before? What is it? Jia Wei pointed around disappreciatively, saying that Yelang is a country connected by water transportation, who would set the capital here? At most, it's just a small town established by a group of hidden remnants.

Yang Cao didn't argue with Jia Wei, and went to the depths to investigate.

I walked around, and when I saw that it was getting dark, I found a flat area by the wall, and then I and a few people gathered dry firewood and built a bonfire again.

For those of us who have not undergone any history-related education, it is better to take good care of ourselves and let ourselves live longer, rather than knowing how the ancient people lived. Worried about the dwarf mules or other dangers lurking in the shadows, Xiao Zhou and Wu Gang took turns to keep watch, carefully checking for possible enemies. We, too, began to search the ruins of the complex before dawn to make sure there were no dangerous creatures hiding inside.

When night fell, the bonfires lit up, and we gathered together except for the watchmen to exchange our gains.

Yang Cao cautiously brought back a bunch of black tattered things and introduced them to us, saying that this is a perforated stone knife, this is a bronze arrow cluster, and this is Yelang's bronze scabbard...... It's more than 2,000 years old, miracles, miracles! Yang Cao and Jia Wei were obviously a little excited, which made me feel as if they were experts from the Cultural Relics Bureau; However, Hu Wenfei was calmer, quietly skinned the two rabbits he hunted, and prepared dinner for us.

To be honest, I'm not sure about this mess of dirty, like a scrap out of a garbage heap, but I don't feel it at all.

Yang Cao saw that our expressions were indifferent, and he took out another thing like offering a treasure, which was a complete bronze vessel, as if it was a pheasant-like shape. He said triumphantly: "This Yelang copper peacock is a rare treasure, recording an era, everyone open their eyes!" ”

Then he got frustrated and said okay, okay, it's terrible to be uneducated.

So he vacated the backpack, carefully wrapped the things, and put them in the backpack.

He said to Hu Wenfei: "We found an ancient battlefield in the west, with a lot of rusty weapons and bones, although they were eroded by plants, we can still see some clues. Combined with what we saw and heard in the cave, I suspect that this place has some connection with the sudden collapse of the Lang Kingdom on Chinese New Year's Eve, and it is very likely that it is one of the sub-battlefields. ”

Regarding the fall of Yelang, history has always had doubts, and there is only one paragraph in the historical record that "in the second year of Heping (27 BC), Ke Taishou Chen Li killed Yelang Wang Xing, and Yelang destroyed the country", if a county governor (equivalent to the mayor) can destroy a country with 100,000 elite soldiers with armor if he is able to destroy it!

I've heard it a few times that Yelang was at a critical moment in the battle against the Lilliputians suspected of being dwarf mules, and the capital was empty and destroyed by the Han Dynasty.

It seems that there are not a few people who hold this view.

But these are not the things I pay attention to, all my attention is focused on the locust wood sign on my chest.

I don't know when the road began, the wooden sign of the color of the log turned a piece of turquoise, like jade.

I even felt that it was somewhat similar to the unicorn fetus. However, when you touch it, it is still the material of the acacia wood core. I was a little flustered, but my thoughts passed on, and my lovely flowers slept quietly in it, like a baby, which somewhat calmed my heart.

I found the supplier of this product, Miscellaneous Trail. He took off the locust wood chips and carefully condensed them, with a serious expression.

After a while, he turned his head and asked me, "Little poison, do you feel that there is a very strong power of decay in this locust wood card?"

I looked dazed and asked what is the power of decaying water?

Miscellaneous Xiaodao looked at the illiterate expression of an old professor, and said that you are also an insider, and you don't understand the power of the five elements? Go home and flip through your broken book! Alas, in the end, it was the tiger cat who loved his daughter-in-law, and he slaughtered the old and demonic sushi fish, and all the benefits were concentrated in this locust wood card. Now you can rest assured, with the nourishment of this dehydrated essence, your family will be able to recover soon, and your strength will be on a higher level.

Hearing the words of the miscellaneous hairy trail, I looked at the tiger cat lying next to me like a dead tiger-skin cat, this fat hen with a hard mouth and a soft heart is really lovely!

I happily took back the green locust wood card from the hand of the miscellaneous hairy Xiaodao, and proudly wore it around my neck, saying what daughter-in-law, Lao Tzu didn't agree.

Cut!

Miscellaneous Xiaodao gestured a middle finger at me, then looked back, and whispered in my ear: "Little poison, I feel a little strange in this canyon, there is a feeling of being in a formation." What if, I mean, if we're stuck here and can't survive? ”

I looked at him strangely and said how could you have such a strange idea?

Miscellaneous hair trail smiled silently, I looked at the sky, only to see the sky haze, as if covered with a film, remembering the time before, the sun shone on the body, there was a sense of isolation, as if this place was a plastic greenhouse greenhouse, my heart couldn't help but worry - miscellaneous hair little Taoist origins, eyes are very tight, naturally can see some clues.

Seeing that the worry in my eyes was beyond words, Miscellaneous Xiaodao glanced at Jia Wei who was sitting alone in the corner with his eyes, and whispered that the most important thing now is that there are more men and fewer women, and when the time comes, don't you fight with your brothers for women?

I'll it!

The muttering of the two of us obviously caught Jia Wei's attention, and this ordinary-looking, small-looking woman with a little proud face looked at us suspiciously, dead fish eyes, garlic nose, and one-word eyebrows...... With such a gentleman's appearance, I, I still don't appreciate it.

There are some ingredients in the backpack, Hu Wenfei's roasted hare meat is very fragrant, there are some wild melons and fruits piled up next to it, and there are starchy plant rhizomes buried in the fire, and the dinner is quite delicious and quite wild. If it weren't for the lack of pot, we would still have mushroom soup to drink, and the food would be in front of us, and the safety of Duoduo would have been solved, and my mood would have been happier.

When eating, Lao Jin pointed to this ruin, and said that the old man said that the Qingshan Realm was the backyard of the Mountain King in the past, and there were strange things after the Houting Cliff, and there were little ghosts patrolling.

We looked at this dusty ruin, laughed, and said yes, this is the backyard of Grandpa Mountain God.

After the meal it was already night, and for it was not safe in the valley, so we camped here and waited for tomorrow morning to find a way out. Except for the injured Jia Wei and Miscellaneous Xiaodao, everyone took turns to keep vigil. Originally, my injuries were serious enough, but with fat bugs, I recovered well, so I insisted on being on duty.

In fact, everyone was frightened in the cave, and after a fight, especially falling from the high waterfall into the pool, they had already been exhausted, and there was no "night talk around the fireplace".

In order to take care of me, Ma Haibo and I were on duty for the first two hours.

We stood on a higher place, looking at the dark night, looking at the stars in the square inch above our heads, and the sparkling stream not far away, and we felt a kind of melancholy in our hearts. Ma Haibo took out a pack of wilted cigarettes from his pocket, untied layer after layer of plastic sheeting, then pulled out one and asked me if I wanted to smoke it.

I waved my hand and said no, he smiled, said it was okay not to smoke, then took a lighter from the cigarette case, lit it for himself, took a deep breath, and let the blue smoke come out of his nose.

I dutifully took in the movements around me, and after a while, I found that Ma Haibo's hand holding the cigarette was constantly trembling, and his eyes were shining, and there were many tears flowing.

I didn't speak, and I didn't want to persuade anything: Wu Gang and Ma Haibo were lucky people, because they had survived all kinds of dangers as ordinary people; However, they were unfortunate to see their comrades and colleagues die one by one, but they themselves had no ability to save them.

There is nothing to be sad about, but what?

All the pain, let the great time dilute it.

After two hours of duty, there was no movement at all, I was so sleepy that I woke up the person who was dazed, said a few words, and then lay down directly in his original position, with residual warmth, and then closed my eyes, and the tiredness was like a tide, and I was quickly buried.

I don't know how long I slept in the tunnel, and in a daze, I heard a distant melody singing in my ears, which seemed very familiar, but strange. The melody was hummed by a woman, both distant and close. I listened for a while, and my consciousness began to return, and I was suddenly startled in my heart, and when I opened my eyes, I looked left and right, and saw that several people next to me were gone, and the bonfire was already burning to the point of being about to go out.
