Jin Yutong

Chapter 114 Ancestral Stone

Chen Ran and the others entered the mountain from the north of Bazhang Village, and the mountain in the north is called Dajian Mountain. Of course, after leaving Bazhang Village, they did not directly enter the mountain, but the remaining veins of Dajian Mountain. The small part said that it is a hill next to a hill, with ups and downs and a huge drop, and the hills are also fragmented by rain and strong winds. There are countless deep ditches, but fortunately, they are vaguely In between, there is still a mountain road.

After passing the last hill, the terrain turned sharply down, and in the deep ditch below the last hill was dense weeds.

Running in the front were two wolf dogs. These two wolf dogs were raised by Mr. Zhao. They were just ordinary wolf dogs. However, the wolf dogs raised in the rural valleys must be different from the pet dogs raised in big cities. I can see a sturdy air.

As the saying goes, relying on mountains to eat mountains depends on water to eat water, and Bazhang Village is surrounded by mountains. Therefore, although the villagers of Bazhang Village also farm land, they often go into the deep mountains in their spare time. There are those who hunt fruit in the mountains, and there are also those who pick mushrooms... Like this, they will not go into the deep mountains, but only at the foot of Dajian Mountain, and there is one thing that will go into the deep mountains, and that is hunting.

In Bazhang Village, every family has to hunt. Although the number of wild wolves and beasts has decreased over the years, there are still many wild boars, rabbits, and pheasants.When Boss Zhao went hunting in the mountains, he would bring these two wolf dogs with him. At this time, the archaeological team also brought them with them when they went into the mountains. Certainly not, but wolfdogs can serve as a warning, but as long as you don't go too far into the mountains, the possibility of encountering ferocious beasts is still very small, and even if you encounter them, it is only occasionally.

Wolfdog followed Mr. Zhao, Mr. Zhao followed Wang Zhiqing and two armed policemen, followed by Li Hongji, Professor Yue, Wang Fei, Mr. Ma... Chen Ran followed Mr. Ma, helping Mr. Ma from time to time. In the team, Professor Yue and Mr. Ma are the oldest. Professor Yue is an expert in archaeology. He has long been used to walking such a mountain road, but it doesn't affect him at all. Mr. Ma is tall, and he looks like a tough person when he walks. , neither blushing nor out of breath, and Chen Ran only helped Mr. Ma when he was about to jump a steep slope.

Behind Chen Ran are Guo Xiaohong, Yan Ruyu, and sister Ru.The three women looked weak and weak on the surface, but in fact none of them were pampered. In addition to following Professor Yue's archaeology, Guo Xiaohong was also a strong athlete. As for Yan Ruyu and sister Ru, everyone present Even those armed policemen may not be able to compare with them... Behind the three women are Cao Lin and Fan Hong. The two of them, including the five staff behind them, are carrying a large bag of items. There are also two armed policemen walking in the end and docking their tails.

After descending this hill, the mountain path became narrower and narrower, with weeds as tall as a person growing on both sides, and the edges of the leaves were as sharp as knives. Chen Ran was accidentally swept out strands of grass from his hands and neck. The bloodshot eyes were so hot and painful, but fortunately, Wang Zhiqing immediately stopped them, and everyone was handed out a pair of leather gloves.

Passing through the weeds, a mountain covered with lush trees suddenly appeared in front of us.By this time, they had only just reached the foot of Dajian Mountain, and they had already spent more than two hours on this journey.

After all, there are Professor Yue and Mr. Ma in the team. They are in good health, but they are old, and they are a little out of breath after walking for a long time, so they took a short rest here, and everyone added some water and food .

The food prepared by the archaeological team is still very rich, such as compressed biscuits, dried meat, barbecue, canned meat, etc., which are easy to carry and store. I also brought some pickled rabbit meat and pickled vegetables like cowpea. The water I brought was a water bag for each person. The water bag was filled with water. Just add it after drinking. The last thing to worry about in the mountains All that is needed is water and food.

After a short rest, everyone entered the Dajian Mountain.

There is no road in Dajian Mountain. Even if there was a road thousands of years ago, it was covered by weeds without any trace.The forest is very ancient and grand, with a long history and strong strength firmly combined, revealing a solemn atmosphere.

Almost all of them are towering oak trees, standing majestically on top of each other. Numerous thick vines and vines tightly entwine them, making it difficult for the sun to shine in.The low ones are hazel hornbeam aspen and the like, which are densely mixed in the whole forest.

If this kind of forest is not led by Boss Zhao, even with a compass, it is not easy to walk, and the roads led by Boss Zhao are all shortcuts, easy to walk, so I walked intermittently for about three or four hours. The sky gradually got late, and the forest became pitch-black.

"No, no, no, I can't go anymore. If we go any further, we will encounter wild beasts. There are too many of us, and there is too much movement!" Boss Zhao, who was walking in the front, stopped suddenly, shook his head with his cigarette bag in his mouth If he was walking alone, he would probably be able to reach the place this afternoon. Now that he brought this team to this place, he still hasn't seen the shadow of Guixiongling yet.

Hearing what he said, everyone could only stop. Wang Zhiqing observed the terrain and asked if there was any spacious place near Boss Zhao where he could pitch a tent. Now the place is full of big trees, so it is impossible to pitch a tent at all.

Boss Zhao thought for a while, then said: "Then let's go a little further, there happens to be a spring over there, and there is an open space under the spring."

After walking for another hour, everyone came to the place Mr. Zhao said. Wang Zhiqing and the others cleaned up the weeds in the open space under the spring, and then cut some dry branches and weeds in the cleared open space. A fire was lit.

If you sleep in the wild at night, lighting a fire is a must. In addition to the fire, each person was given a high-power headlamp.

Although Chen Ran's body has been much stronger than before after being recuperated by Master Miao during this period of time, after all, this time is too short, and it is not as good as other people. When it was time to go up the mountain road, he had to support Mr. Ma and sit on the grass. He held the water bag and drank it. Although his stomach was a little empty, he couldn't eat dry food. It took a long time before he ate some compressed biscuits.

Both Professor Yue and Mr. Ma were a bit overwhelmed. They sat on the air cushion, ate and drank water, and didn't speak. It wasn't until Chen Ran ate the compressed biscuits for a long time that he seemed to recover.

"Oh, old horse, it seems that your body hasn't fallen, I'm not as good as you now." Professor Yue looked at Mr. Ma, and said with a wry smile: "Think about the vigor you used to work in the field, tsk tsk... Later, I was locked in a cowshed for two or three years, and went to the countryside to build a house for others. I have never suffered any crimes. I have survived. Now I am old and useless, so I have walked such a small distance. , I couldn't breathe."

"Haha..." Mr. Ma laughed loudly, and said, "I can't do it either, you're so tired and out of breath..."

Except for Boss Zhao, the four armed policemen, and Yan Ruyu and sister Ru, all the people present were exhausted. Chen Ran was sitting on the air cushion, and he didn't even want to open his mouth. With Yiyi's appearance, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Although it was getting dark early in the mountains, it was actually only after six o'clock, and everyone couldn't sleep, so they talked and laughed around the fire, but it was Professor Yue and Mr. Ma talking about their archeology back then, Yan Ruyu and Sister Ru , Guo Xiaohong and the three women all got into the tent.

As they talked, they talked about the destination of the archaeology. Everyone was guessing what was in Guixiong Ridge... What was there in Guixiong Ridge?

This question, I am afraid that no one here wants to know the answer more than Chen Ran, but what is there in Guixiongling?

At this moment, Wang Zhiqing handed Mr. Ma a brocade box: "Teacher, this is what the elder brother who robbed the tomb brought out. It looks like a piece of quartz. After testing, it is very hard, even harder than diamond." Big, I look like a key, it may be useful for our archaeology, so I brought it here, can you see its origin?"

Mr. Ma nodded, and took the brocade box over. After opening it, he saw a stone that looked like a key, and its color was like quartz. He frowned, pondered for a while, and nodded: "From the cloth Judging from the shamanic text on the film, this stone should be the patriarchal stone of shamanism."

Seeing the look of doubt on everyone's faces, Mr. Ma went on to say: "In the mythology of Shamanism, the first life in the universe is called the stone god, and the world was created by this original god of the universe. .Stone, as the source and support of fire, is regarded as the mother of the universe or the symbol of the vitality of the universe. When shamanism offers sacrifices, the tribe will bow to the ancestor stone. The ancestral stone, the ancestral stone of life... In folklore, the stone is the borrowing body of the shaman's soul, and the shaman uses the stone to nourish the soul and strengthen the soul power. Of course, this is just a legend after all. In fact, it does not exist at all. Yes, but the stones worshiped by shamanism are real, and the stones they worship are called ancestral stones, and the shaman's clothes are also decorated with sacred stones..."

"It seems that this Guixiong Ridge is related to Shamanism!" Professor Yue nodded and said, groaning for a while, then frowned: "It's just that there are too many dynasties in China that believe in Shamanism, as far back as the period of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, and recently There are the Mongolian clan of the Yuan Dynasty and the Jurchen clan of the Qing Dynasty, so it’s really hard to say which dynasty this Guixiongling is related to!"

Mr. Ma nodded, and handed the brocade box containing the ancestral stone of shamanism to Wang Zhiqing. He didn't care about this ancestral stone, because as long as there is shamanism, there will be ancestral stones for worship and worship. Not surprising.

Although everyone was very interested, after all, they had been on the mountain road all afternoon. After joking and joking, the guards who were changing shifts were left behind, and they all got into the tents, and Chen Ran was no exception.

Lying on the air cushion in the tent, the rustling sound of the phoenix dance tree could be heard from time to time in his ears, but Chen Ran was full of thoughts, and suddenly found that his ability could still understand the original text of this shaman , Can't help but let him ponder what is going on with his supernatural ability again, and thinking about it like this makes him look forward to tomorrow even more.

What exactly is there in Ghost Bear Ridge?Can you uncover the secret of your own abilities?

late at night.

When Chen Ran woke up, he was suddenly awakened by the roar of wild beasts. He sat up abruptly, and heard a series of howling sounds of wolf dogs in his ears - there are fierce beasts!
