Grave Robber: Beginnings Fusion Hydra Cypress

Night gradually fell. Walking in the desolate abandoned ancient town, there were only the calls of birds and animals and the whistling wind in my ears.

The atmosphere gradually became a little weird.

After walking for a while, Wang Kaixuan suddenly shivered all over and looked back hurriedly.

"Old Hu, do you feel that something seems to be following us?"

Hu Bayi looked back and said.

"There is not even a ghost here. It's your psychological effect."

Wang Kaixuan shook his head hurriedly.

"No, there must be something! I just didn't see it."

The youngest sister couldn't help laughing.

"Brother, you are tall and strong, but you are as brave as a cat, and you are startled."

"Actually, it's just an animal in the mountains. We have a lot of people, so there's nothing to be afraid of."

After Qingxi Town was abandoned, no one has set foot here for more than 70 years. The wild animals here have never seen humans. They may be curious and quietly follow behind to observe.

According to the youngest sister's inference, it is either a weasel, a badger, or a cat.

Wang Kaixuan was relieved after hearing this, and his old face couldn't help but blush, and he quickly found an excuse to cover it up.

Lin Shuangyue smiled lightly and whispered.

"Mr. Ji, do you want to catch it?"

In fact, Ji Changsheng also felt that the thing was not a weasel, nor a badger, but another animal.

"No, let it follow."

The two spoke in a very low voice, and no one else noticed.

While talking, they had passed half of the town and came to the center of the town.

An old house appeared in front of them. The house covers an area of ​​dozens of acres and is a standard landlord's mansion.

After hundreds of years of baptism, the old house is dilapidated and no longer has the former style.

Only a pair of stone lions at the door show people its former status.

Professor Sun took out a flashlight, stepped forward and took a closer look, and couldn't help but be surprised.

"This stone lion looks a little strange. I've never seen one like this."

As a well-educated professor of archaeology, he has much more experience than most people, but he has never seen one before. It can be seen that this stone lion is a little strange.

Everyone stepped forward to take a closer look. The stone lion has a round body, a big round belly, and lies lazily on the stone pier. It does not have the majesty of a lion at all. It looks like an obese patient with uncontrolled weight.

However, the stone lion looks quite ferocious, with fierce light in its eyes and two long fangs in its mouth, giving people a feeling of evil and hate.

Hu Bayi frowned.

"The stone lion is a divine object to guard the house. How can it be carved like this? It looks more like an evil object."

Ji Changsheng smiled lightly and pointed at the stone lion.

"This is not a stone lion at all, it is clearly a pig!"

Everyone was stunned at first, and then laughed, thinking he was joking.

Only Professor Sun observed carefully and did not take it as a joke.

After looking at it for a while, he slapped his thigh and exclaimed.

"It's a pig!"

The others were shocked and looked puzzled.

I've only heard of stone lions being used to protect houses, but I've never heard of stone pigs being used to protect houses. What kind of special custom is this?

Professor Sun pointed at the stone lion and said.

"Look, its mane is as straight as a sword, its nostrils are facing the sky, its two fangs are sticking out of its mouth, its ears are disproportionately large, and its body is fat. It's clearly a pig!"

Lions were not produced in ancient China, and most people had never seen what a lion looked like, so the images of lions in ancient books were all fictional and imaginary.

The traditional lion dance that has been passed down to today is far from the image of a real lion.

The stone lions that protect houses, like the lion dance, have ears as big as a palm leaf fan, which is completely unlike a cat, but more like a Labrador or a pig's ears.

It is precisely because the image of the stone lion is deeply rooted in people's hearts that people habitually ignore these strange things. If it is a foreigner who has never seen a stone lion, he can tell at a glance that something is wrong.

After Professor Sun figured this out, his mind suddenly became clear and his train of thought was opened up.

He clapped his hands with joy and laughed.

"So that's how it is. This thing is the black sheep in the code!"

"Black" means black. Traditional Chinese domestic pigs are all black. White domestic pigs are a breed introduced from abroad in recent decades.

In ancient times, sheep also referred to livestock such as pigs and sheep.

Black sheep is actually a black pig!

Professor Sun laughed.

"I have never understood what the relationship between black sheep and the ancient tomb of the earth immortals is. I also wanted to find a pig farm to ask about it. It turns out that black sheep refers to stone pigs. No wonder I can't think of it!"

In China, there are countless stone lions that guard the house, all over the country.

But stone pigs have never appeared. The two stone pigs at the door of the old house of the Feng family in Qingxi Town are the first to be discovered in the country.

"To visit the earth immortals in advance, find black sheep first."

There is no doubt that the black sheep in the code refers to this rare stone pig!

Everyone was delighted when they heard this. It seemed that they were getting closer and closer to the Earth Immortal Village.

Wang Kaixuan said hurriedly.

"According to the secret code, the Earth Immortal Tomb is in the old house of the Feng family?"

The youngest sister shook her head quickly.

"Definitely not. The town has been dug out. If there were any ancient tombs, they would have been dug out long ago."

Professor Sun said while taking notes with a pen.

"The Yang house is where the living live. How can a Yin house be built underneath? Yin and Yang are in conflict. The Guanshan Taibao, the ancestor of the Feng family, is not an amateur. Even if his brain is burned out, he would not build an underground palace here."

Wang Kaixuan suddenly felt a little embarrassed and asked.

"Where would the ancient tomb of the earth immortal be?"

Professor Sun put away his notebook and pointed at the old house.

"If it was so easy to find, it would have been discovered long ago."

"Let's go in and take a look first. There may be clues inside."

Everyone then entered the old house and explored it carefully.

This house was once converted into a health center and a school. The internal structure has been greatly changed and is no longer what it originally looked like.

When it was relocated decades ago, all the furniture and items were moved out, leaving nothing behind, only the solid house standing.

After searching inside and outside, nothing was found.

Everyone had to clean up a clean place, light a fire and cook, and prepare to spend the night here.

While cooking, a thunder suddenly sounded in the sky, illuminating the night sky like daylight.

Not long after, the weather changed suddenly.

It rained heavily, with lightning and thunder, and howling winds.

Fortunately, there was this old house to shelter from the rain. If it was in the wilderness, it would be soaked like a drowned chicken.

The youngest sister looked at the thunder and lightning storm raging outside and said with some concern.

"Grandpa said that when it suddenly rains heavily in the mountains, it means that the mountain god is angry."

"I'm afraid something will happen tonight..."

Wang Kaixuan grinned and said.

"It's going to be windy, and my mother is going to get married. What's the big deal? Don't scare yourself."

"That's all feudal superstition, we can't..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly glared and pulled the youngest sister behind him.

"Be careful, there are monsters!"
