Chapter 11481
"These Buddha statues were originally heads, and were later destroyed by external forces." Luo Fengtang looked around at the densely packed Buddha statues on the stone wall and the empty head areas, and came to this conclusion.
"I agree with what Tang Yazi said. There are obvious marks left by a knife or an axe on it." Yang Ruoqing also said.
"Qing'er, Tang'er, judging from these traces, how many years have passed?" Xiaojie's father asked.
Yang Ruoqing shook her head slightly. She was an outsider in this area and could not see it clearly.
She could only infer from a person's wounds, and she couldn't say anything about such traces that happened a long time ago.
Luo Fengtang pondered for a moment and said, "At least three hundred years, maybe longer."
"Wow, that happened so long ago. We didn't even know where we were at that time!" Yang Huaming smacked his lips.
"It seems that what the old opera script said is true. Since ancient times, our Mianniu Mountain has been a Feng Shui treasure land and a place that has been fought over by military strategists in every dynasty." The person who said this was Old Man Wang.
"Old Man Wang, you are a master and the oldest," Yang Yongqing approached Old Man Wang, "Have you ever heard of the legend of this cave and these headless stone statues?"
"Yeah, what happened at that time? Why did you go to so much trouble to smash the heads of these stone figures off?"
"The stone statues at the bottom are fine, but the ones at the top are all smashed. Don't we have to put up a ladder to get up there? It's too much effort. How much hatred must one have to bear to do this?"
"It was a huge project to carve these stone statues, and now they are going to be destroyed. Something unspeakable must have happened during this period!"
"Dad, you are an expert, you should know something, right?"
Except for Luo Fengtang and Yang Ruoqing who were observing the surroundings, the others surrounded Old Man Wang and asked questions one after another.
Old man Wang is also a down-to-earth person. He doesn't put on airs because of his age. He just says what he thinks.
"I am grateful for your respect for me. However, although I have lived for nearly eighty years, I know no more about the mysteries of this mountain than you do. I am ashamed of myself."
"Old Man Wang, you are an expert. You can tell fortunes, right? Try to calculate and see what happened here before!" While speaking, Yang Yongqing grabbed a handful of soybeans from his pocket and threw them into his mouth. Eating is his hobby and it also helps him to be brave in this unfamiliar environment.
Old Man Wang shook his head.
At this time, Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang walked back to Old Man Wang. Yang Ruoqing quietly pushed Yang Yongqing aside and said to Old Man Wang, "Old Man Wang, we have just checked carefully. This place should be the end of the cave. If we want to get out, there are only two ways."
"One is to return the same way. Two is to dive deep into the underground river and follow the water flow out."
"If we have a boat, we can have a third way. We can try to go forward by boat. However, it is also possible that the cave ahead will become lower and lower, and we will have to return the same way we came."
Old Man Wang understood what Yang Ruoqing meant, and he looked at the compass in his hand again.
"Even if this is not the end, there is no need to go any further. What we are looking for is right under the water."
what?
Upon hearing this, everyone was suddenly alert and gathered together, back to back, trying to see 360 degrees.
Yang Ruoqing saw that the red needle on the compass in Old Man Wang's hand stopped its previous uncertain and precarious swing. No matter how Old Man Wang changed his posture, the red needle stubbornly pointed to the northwest of the water.
"Where is it?" Yang Ruoqing asked Old Man Wang quietly. Old Man Wang nodded and squinted his eyes to stare at that direction.
The others also looked in that direction. The water in that direction seemed calm, but the air became inexplicably thick. In this cave deep in the ground, the tense and depressing atmosphere became increasingly thicker.
Old Man Wang's voice broke the suffocating silence, "Don't panic, everyone. Follow our previous agreement. We will use courtesy first and then force!"
Everyone understood and took action separately.
Xiao Jie's father took off the cotton basket on his back and put it on the ground. There was a small folding table inside.
He was responsible for spreading out the small folding table, standing it up, and placing it neatly on the ground.
Yang Yongqing also took out a basket he was carrying and took out incense, candles, paper money and other things from the basket.
Kang Xiaozi also put the bamboo basket in his hand on the ground and took out a rooster with tied wings and a duck from it.
Yang Huaming went over to help the three of them set up the table and offerings, light the incense and candles, and burn the paper money.
Old Man Wang handed the tray to Yang Ruoqing and asked her to stand beside him and help him hold the compass.
Luo Fengtang placed his hand on the hilt of the sword and stood on the other side of Old Man Wang to protect him.
Old man Wang was seen coming to the back of the table where the offerings were placed, he pushed the ground hard with his left foot, slowly pushed his fists forward, swayed his body left to right, and waved his arms, as if making the shape of a Yin-Yang Tai Chi fish.
After doing all this, he picked up a talisman with his fingers, lit it over the candle flame, muttered something, and threw the half-burned talisman towards the direction of the water surface where the compass needle was pointing.
As soon as the talisman, which was not even as big as the palm of a hand, fell into the water, there was a sudden loud bang. The flame, which was originally like a firefly, did not go out instantly after touching the water. On the contrary, the water was like strong liquor or oil. After a loud bang, the talisman flame suddenly jumped to the size of a football and floated on the water.
The originally calm water surface began to show ripples and waves.
The rotation amplitude of the water waves gradually increased, as if there was an invisible giant hand under the water, with a big mouth opened, sucking water into the black hole continuously.
In full view of everyone, the water level was dropping little by little, and a strange sound was coming from under the water, as if a huge body was slowly rubbing against the rocks on the bottom of the water. The scraping sound of scales, the roar similar to that of an old cow, and other rustling sounds were mixed together.
The water in the underground river, which had previously made people feel mysterious and fearful, had now inexplicably turned into a barrier to isolate themselves from greater dangers.
As long as the water is sucked dry and the barrier is torn apart, everyone will be face to face with the mysterious and dangerous creature lurking deep under the water. There will be no way out!
The huge mouth was still swallowing the water from the underground river.
Old man Wang made a strange fingerprint with his hands, closed his eyes slightly, and muttered something.
Suddenly, he shouted to everyone: "Quick, throw the rooster and the duck into the water!"
"Yes!"
Kang Xiaozi quickly threw away the things in his hand.
As soon as it was thrown into the water, suddenly a wave rose into the sky like a pillar, and a huge body swung the pot in the air and swallowed the two offering poultry into its stomach. The water column receded, but the vortex still remained on the water surface, continuously swallowing the river water.
