Ghost Blowing Lantern II

Ding Sitian also said: "Yes, in ancient times, peasant uprisings always first excavated the tombs of emperors. This also showed the fearless spirit of the peasant uprising army in defying the feudal royal power and their determination to be irreconcilable with them." But Ding Sitian Although Tian said so, she is a girl after all. Although she has been a Red Guard, she is not as bold as Fatty and I. She has some fear of the ancient tombs that is difficult to overcome. Ask me what is in the ancient tombs?

I was a little panicked when I first entered this tunnel, but after walking for a while, I gradually got used to the oppressive and dark environment in this tunnel, and I became more courageous. When Ding Sitian asked me what was in the tomb, I half-joked. He said: "Maybe it's like a palace, with many carved fountains and so on." Suddenly he remembered that he had seen the ghost market of ancient tombs in the mountains of Daxinganling, so he described it to them in a full-bodied way: "Those carvings are all made of ancient women. , not only do they look quite smooth, but they are also naked and do not wear any clothes. They are nude carvings, and they are all made of marble. I have seen them with my own eyes in the mountains."

Fatty and Ding Sitian knew nothing about these things and didn't know whether what I said was true or false. They stared at each other and couldn't answer. I continued to tell them: "Now we have to clarify the discipline. If anything happens later, When we visit the ancient tomb, we cannot act on impulse. Even if we are robbing the tomb, we are not allowed to destroy cultural relics and historic sites. Those who shoot and use knives cannot aim at the naked bodies on the wall. Especially you, little fat man, you are absolutely not allowed to touch the marble carved naked palace maids inside. , those are all left by the old Zongzi to us proletariat."

I said it seriously, which made the fat man speechless: "I promise Chairman Mao that I will never touch you. Anyway, we just don't touch it. Whoever touches it is the grandson... Oh, that's not right. We are also proletarians. Why should we?" Can’t touch?”

At this time, Ding Sitian interrupted and asked me: "Comrade Lenin, are you really sure that this hole full of rats is an ancient tomb?" I said helplessly: "Actually, I don't know. I just talked nonsense because I was afraid that you would be nervous. To put your mind at ease, to be honest, I think this may or may not be an ancient tomb. As for what kind of place this is, only God knows, and only ghosts know."

The fat man was so angry that he gritted his teeth: "Old Hu, what you just said was all nonsense. What does it mean that it may be or it may not be?" As we spoke, we had unknowingly reached the end of the tunnel. There was no more simplicity and dilapidation here. Instead of large stone bricks, it is a dome-shaped natural cave. The cave is not very big, about a hundred square meters. Surrounding the cave are tunnels one after another. The size and shape are the same as the one we entered. Being among them, it is impossible to tell the difference between east, west and north.

The fat man and I carried Lao Yangpi for a long time, and our arms were a little numb. We found that there were many forked roads around us. We didn't know where to go for a while, so we put him down first. Lao Yangpi was talking nonsense in his mouth. It seemed that he was still thinking about his cattle and horses. This dragging and moving operation may also have helped him digest his food.

Ding Sitian took a look at the lamp and said worriedly: "This is simply an underground maze. Have we entered the center of the underground maze? Why do all the tunnels lead here?"

I rubbed my sore arms and looked around. I had no idea where this place was. It was definitely not an ancient tomb or some underground maze. The tunnels around the cave were distributed in a radial pattern. I counted them, and there were ten different tunnels in total. There are more, and the more we look at it, the more we feel that the layout of this cave is strange. There is a natural emerald stone screen like a stone wall in the cave. There are many huge rocks half-buried in the soil surrounding the stone screen. The shapes of the stones are different. The sizes are also different, and they are buried in a messy manner, and there is no mystery in them.

The fat man took a look and said, "Is this buried marble?" Didn't it say there was a woman carved in stone? Why are they all carved into potatoes? I ignored the fat man's teasing remarks and couldn't help but wonder, who is so full and stuffed and why would he bury so many big rocks in a cave?

Just when I was secretly amazed, Ding Sitian couldn't restrain her curiosity. She walked into the smooth stone wall with a gas lamp and looked at it. She found that there were many patterns carved on the natural emerald stone screen, which seemed to be half buried in the earth. He looked at the stone tablet inside, so he quickly called Fatty and I to take a closer look.

There are no words on the huge smooth stone surface, but there are fine patterns engraved on both sides. There is some peeling and wear on it, and the original color of the picture is so dim that it is almost colorless, but it does not affect the clarity of the graphics on it. It’s just that the content shown in it is too confusing and unbelievable. I only took a few glances and felt my breathing become heavier.

One side is engraved with undulating hills, and the middle basin is a dense forest. Looking at the terrain features, it seems to be the area where we are located in the "Hundred Eyes Cave". A black dragon-shaped shadow is painted around the hills, like a dragon with teeth and claws. The old black dragon is devouring the surrounding cattle, sheep, humans and animals. Thinking of the cattle and wild geese that disappeared out of thin air, we all know that the content of this stone carving is true, but maybe the ancients who carved this picture are just like us. People and animals disappeared mysteriously nearby, but it was difficult to figure out the mystery, so a dragon-shaped shadow wandering in the sky became virtual.

On the grassland, we saw the formation of wild geese flying into the clouds disappearing, and then we felt pain in our eardrums. If the mounts had not been alert, we would probably have been swallowed by the dragon-shaped black shadow in this painting. But at that time, four people with eight eyes clearly saw The sky above the grassland is empty, and there is nothing unusual in the sky. Why can't human eyes see it? What secret does this dragon shadow represent? Could it be the ghost of an ancient dragon causing trouble? This mysterious hint left by the ancients is too difficult for future generations to figure out the truth.

The fat man was just looking at things and didn't find the ancient records on the stone wall to be of much interest. He just glanced at them casually, took out a wrinkled and inferior Xingong brand cigarette from his arms, and sat down next to Lao Yangpi. Went to have a rest and smoke.

Ding Sitian was even more curious than me. After seeing the mysterious patterns on the wall, she was filled with questions and asked me what I thought about it. I said that first of all, I don’t really believe that there are dragons in the world. Although there were many incidents of seeing dragons in ancient times, most of them were false. When I was in junior high school, I remember that there was a sensational incident in the suburbs. The mountain people dug out a half-dead dragon when they were digging a well. At that time, many people used knives to cut the dragon meat. There were also rumors that it was okay to cut the dragon meat and take it home and eat it, but it must not be cut. You cannot mention the word "dragon". As soon as you mention the word "dragon", there will be clouds in the sky and lightning will flash. Anyone who mentions that word will be struck to death by lightning on the spot. It is also said that people who were born in the year of snake and dragon are not allowed to go. The crowd watched and everyone said anything, but later the truth was confirmed. In fact, the so-called dragon was just a giant python hiding in the hole that the mountain people dug up when digging a well.

This boulder with a dragon shape painted on it is a relic of an ancient dynasty. It seems that the herdsmen on the grassland have no basis for the legend of a demonic dragon devouring humans and animals near Baiyan Cave. I just think it is probably A rare meteorological phenomenon that seemed to have not been understood by the world at that time, but what kind of power can turn living beings into nothing invisibly? Ding Sitian and I couldn't understand the mystery in detail. We analyzed a few sentences at random, but couldn't figure it out, so we had to give up.

Ding Sitian turned to the other side of the stone wall to look at the stone carvings on that side. The doubts in my mind grew bigger and bigger. Instead of going to see the stone paintings with her immediately, I asked the fat man for a cigarette. This Xingong brand cigarette , we got it in exchange for the "Huang Xiangu" we bought. The quality of the cigarette was very poor, and it was very strong and very choking. So we couldn't bear to smoke it directly. We mixed half of the dried leaves into the shredded tobacco and put a cigarette into it. He rolled the cigarette into two sticks, and after taking one puff, he felt as if he was in a fog.

I took two puffs of cigarette and felt that my brain was much better, so I walked to Ding Sitian and looked at the patterns carved on the boulders with her. I hoped that there would be some useful content here, but as soon as I stood still, I just went to I glanced at the stone wall and almost dropped the "mixed" cigarette in my hand to the ground. There was "Huang Xiangu" painted on the end!
