Chapter 195 Unmanned Camp
Then the terrain dropped, and a steep slope went down, and our vision suddenly became clear.I saw several towering stone piles suddenly standing on a piece of gravel clearing, rising from the ground.From a distance, there is a lake behind the stone pile, which is not small in size, in the shape of a crescent moon.
"Could it be that the so-called strange rock mountain is in front of me?" I stared at the wonder here, with a shocked expression on my face, and couldn't help but sigh.And the fat master next to me just said "tsk tsk" and stopped talking, and the look in his eyes showed infinite shock.
I asked, "Master, have we arrived yet?"
He glanced at me, quickly retracted his gaze, and mumbled a sentence: "Let's go..."
"Could it be that this is your first time here too?" I persisted and continued to pester him to ask.
He didn't even look at me, he pulled the rein vigorously on his way.Because of the downhill, the carriage originally had wheels, and the speed was already difficult to control.As soon as he pulled the horse, the car also accelerated, and people could only run and chase.The carriage in front seemed to have encountered this problem as well, so the two carriages ran with me and the people behind.
I thought to myself: "These two crappy driving masters dare to come out to take jobs with their driving skills, they really have the courage to do so."
After we descended the slope out of breath, we walked for more than ten minutes before reaching the foot of those stone piles.
Xiao Rong stared at the flying drone, went to the controller to operate it himself, and monitored the images transmitted from the drone. These stone piles were about tens of meters high, and they were all made of flat volcanic rocks. Covered with fine pores.
Volcanic stones can't stand weathering, so they are relatively deformed, but this doesn't make the pile of stones collapse at all, is it a miracle?But on the other hand, it has also been confirmed that a volcanic eruption has occurred here.
The problem is, even if there was a volcanic eruption, the volcanic rocks were not formed instantly, and it is even more impossible to pile the rocks into such a regular shape. The only possibility of such a pile of rocks is man-made!
"Hey, everyone, come and have a look..." The man surnamed Hong under Mr. Xiao suddenly called out.I saw him squatting in front of another stone pile, pointing to some unremarkable pieces of broken stone on the ground and saying, "There are many patterns engraved on it."
We ran over to have a look, and it was true that although most of the gray and white engravings on the stone had been weathered, they were indistinct.Some of them can still vaguely recognize shapes like the sun and moon, as well as animals and trees.
I thought these pictographs looked familiar, so I took out the materials I carried with me and compared them.Xiao Rong made a gesture of resting on the spot, then squatted beside me and joined in.
The ancient characters on the stone are exactly the same as those in the notes, Xiao Rong and I looked at each other.I carried the wind on my back, and because the wind was too loud, I could only yell at Xiao Rong: "What do you think?"
Xiao Rong looked up at the pile of stones and said: "I don't think these are tombs. It is not easy to build such a large-scale building in such an inaccessible place, and there is no information to show that nomads lived here. nationality……"
"That's right, if a stone of this texture is really used to seal a grave, the souls below will be tortured like purgatory." The old man with the goatee came behind us at some point, picked up a stone and put it aside. Look at it and say.
Seeing Xiao Rong and me looking at him suspiciously, he couldn't help explaining: "Volcanic rock is formed when the temperature drops suddenly after the magma is ejected. This kind of object that comes from the tempering of the earth is comparable to any talisman or dog blood. Restraining the yin things in the ground, do you understand that?"
"This old man, with just a few words, dismissed the possibility of the pile of stones being a tomb. At the same time, he revealed his secrets quietly. It seems that he is a master of Taoism!"
"Then tell me, this can't be a cemetery, so what could it be?" I stared at the old man and asked tentatively.
The old man pulled down the collar of his cotton-padded jacket, stroked his beard, stared at me with intriguing eyes, pondered for a while, and then said, "It should be a sacrificial dojo."
"Such a scale, is it survival? Or sacrifice?" I looked around at the scattered stone piles and asked.
"Death is life, life and death reincarnation, how can we tell the difference." The old man stroked his beard again, at this moment a flash of lightning struck, and the strong light was reflected on his face, which was pale and pale. At this moment, I Only then did he realize that his eyes were actually gray and black, without a trace of expression.
I was startled, and immediately felt a strange feeling, and I couldn't help but took two steps back.Just when there was thunder, Xiao Rong thought I was afraid, so he couldn't help but grasp my hand and pull me closer.
There was a mocking smile on the corner of the old man's mouth, and then he said to Xiao Rong: "The wind is coming, we still need to hurry."
Xiao Rong nodded obediently.
Dynasty, who had been staring at the drone controller, suddenly yelled at us that something might be wrong with the machine.The three of us hurried over, only to see that the screen that originally transmitted the image of the ground had disappeared, and the screen was replaced by dancing gray snowflakes.
"What's going on?" Xiao Rong took over the controller and fiddled with it himself, but there was no response. The three machines sent out seemed to disappear into the wind out of thin air.
Dynasty replied: "It may be because of the strong wind that the machine lost its balance and crashed into something."
Xiao Rong restrained his expression, raised his head and glanced at the sky full of thunder and lightning, covered with dark clouds, and said: "It's fine if you can't find it, pack it up, it's important to hurry."
At this time, the water vapor in the cloud finally couldn't bear the load, and it began to continuously drop large and large water droplets.We had no choice but to call the carriage and board again to avoid the rain.
Through the gaps in the felt cloth, one can see that the rain outside is getting heavier and heavier, and the whirring raindrops hit the car body, making a muffled sound.I thought that this kind of weather would affect everyone's mood, but to my surprise, all the staff were still very excited.
The Taoist old man was sitting by the door, lightly pinching a corner of the felt cloth with two fingers, and staring at the weather conditions outside.The most special thing is that the corners of his mouth have always maintained a shallow upward arc, which looks particularly weird.From the very beginning, I wonder why the worse the weather, the happier he seems?
Why did this person come here?With his extraordinary insight and compelling aura, I feel that even Xiao Rong may not be able to truly control it.Inviting such a person by his side shows that Xiao Rong is very urgent about the purpose of this business, and he is not afraid of getting burned.
Xiao Rong saw that my eyes had been on him and was still in a daze, so he leaned into my ear curiously, and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong?"
"He, what is his origin?" I cast a glance, hinting at Xiao Rong.
"My father's friend before his death was an expert in finding the dragon's acupuncture points, yin and yang and the five elements. But this person has a weird temper, you should try to stay away from him so as not to offend him." Xiao Rong's eyes showed a trace of inexplicable complicated.
Seeing that I was a little dazed, I added another sentence: "If you are in danger later, jump into the carriage, run away, and don't look back." After finishing speaking, Xiao Rong didn't care whether I understood him or not. , inexplicably chuckled.
It caused YOYO to cast eyes at me for a while, and the hand holding his arm tightened suddenly.
Xiao Rong frowned, and helplessly gave her a look, but he didn't break free.I was puzzled, these sisters are really my love terminators!But whenever any man chats with me a few more words, she will step forward to destroy her posture, I really don't know what kind of heart is there?
The carriage drove through the wind and rain at an extremely slow speed for about an hour and stopped.Afterwards, no matter how hard they drove, the two groups of horses refused to move forward.Everyone had no choice but to get out of the car one after another. It was not far from the lake.We had to carry our luggage and marched for about half an hour in the rain. When we arrived at the camp by the lake, we were mostly soaked.
The wind is already cold, plus the damp clothes, if not for walking around, I am afraid that everyone would have been frozen to death.The tents on the campsite were blown to pieces by the strong wind, creating a messy scene.I was a little surprised that Xiao Rong's people had been stationed here a few days ago, but the situation was not optimistic, because there was no one in the camp.
"Mr. Xiao, I've already looked for him, but there's no one there." One of Xiao Rong's subordinates came back and reported after looking around.
Xiao Rong looked at the lake not far away, then turned to face the old man surnamed Kai.The old man said disapprovingly: "It's no big deal to go in first."
Xiao Rong nodded, and then ordered: "Repair the camp first, and rest in place."
While they were busy, I got into the barracks, where there were still a large number of supplies left by the vanguard, as well as processed food.The food was already completely cold. It seemed that they left in a hurry and didn't have time to eat it after cooking.
"The things are here, and they don't seem to be withdrawn, so where did they go?" I was thinking about it, but there was a sound of footsteps coming towards me behind me.
I looked back, and my old friend YOYO was staring at me with a pair of eyes that knew everything.I pulled off the scarf and slowly wrung out the water on it, cleared my throat and asked, "Miss Sun, what are you doing?"
"Zhang Zilin, shall we cooperate?" YOYO said to me seriously with a rare sincerity on his face.
I didn't want to talk to him at first, but I couldn't resist my curiosity, so I asked: "Hey, Ms. Sun took the initiative to ask for cooperation. I don't know if I, a person who has no one, no money, and no energy, can make you have more money." What's a good picture?"
YOYO ignored my teasing, and still maintained enough patience, explaining: "My request is very simple, and you will definitely be able to do it."
"Oh? Let's talk about it." I motioned her to continue.
