The years when I was Captain Jin

Chapter 207 The Strange Tale of the Giant Monster

"Stone tablet, what stone tablet?"

I was startled by Wang Yuanchao's sudden voice, and even ran towards him.

Grandpa, Uncle Ming, Fatty, and Zhang Sanpao also noticed the movement ahead, and followed me closely with torches in hand.

After getting closer, we realized that a blue stone tablet was erected in the center of the tomb passage!

This stone tablet is not that big, only half a meter high, similar to the tombstones in ancient times, because it has been soaked in groundwater for a long time, the stone tablet has already been covered with moss.

I stooped over and took a look with the flashlight, and found that a few words could still be read on the stele. I was surprised and exclaimed: "Look, don't the words on this stele resemble Xia Shu?"

Hearing my shout, the fat man nodded first: "Don't tell me, Ding Dong, you have good eyesight! I think 90.00% of these words are Xia Shu. Damn, I missed the sheep-head giant gate last time, this time the fat man Lord, I have to remove this stele no matter what I say."

Seeing that the fat man was really crazy about money, I quickly stopped him: "What are you in a hurry for? Let Grandpa and Uncle Ming read it first."

At this time, Uncle Ming and Grandpa had already taken out the magnifying glass from their backpacks, and sat under the stele to observe carefully, but they soon gave up.After all, the words on the stele are Xia Shu, the most difficult unknown mystery in China, and it will be impossible to decipher for a while.

Seeing that everyone was helpless, the fat man said, "Damn, this Yu is really good enough. What's the use of just erecting a stone tablet? Why don't we make more murals? Even if we don't know how to read, we can still understand the paintings." story."

"Stop nagging and see if there are other clues around." I said.

"This place is so big, and there are huge figurines piled up on both sides. You call Fatty, where can I find clues?" The fat man shrugged helplessly.

At this moment, Wang Yuanchao suddenly remembered something, and said to me: "Ding Dang, do you still remember the fonts of Xia Shu that Brother Sanpao deciphered before? It is said that auspiciousness appeared on both sides of the Yellow River, and a sun god bird appeared, so everyone So Yu took the warriors and traveled thousands of miles to pay homage to the place where the divine bird appeared. Do you think these huge figurines are the warriors that Dayu took with him when he traveled?"

When I heard what Wang Yuanchao said, I immediately felt a little interesting.

Zhang Sanpao also quickly glanced at the weapons in the hands of these giant figurines, and said after a while: "That's right! The bows and arrows and the bronze spears they hold are exactly the same as those described in the Xia Shu fonts. They are the ones who followed Dayu back then. the warriors."

Speaking of this, Zhang Sanpao chatted with us about the legends about these giant figurines.

It turns out that when human beings were still in the primitive society, there had always been a strange minority in the north of our country, and this minority was called: the giant race.

It is said that compared with normal humans, the giants have not yet fully evolved, so they retain many of the habits of beasts, such as being covered with long body hair, not knowing how to cook, and only eating raw meat.

But the giants are very powerful. They are almost two or three meters tall, with big heads and huge bronze spears in their hands. They often haunt the wild places in the north.

Although the giants were born tall, they rarely bullied the Central Plains people.It is even recorded in oracle bone inscriptions and murals unearthed in recent years that these big-headed giants once dispatched all their nests and entered China to help Dayu defeat countless ferocious enemies.Later, these big-headed giants admired Yu's wisdom and virtue, and all submitted to him, becoming the most powerful army in Yu's hands.

Later, the floods in China were raging, and Dayu was ordered to control the water. Those big-headed giants helped Dayu dig the river again and made great contributions. After Dayu became king, he also rewarded them.

But what is strange is that such an invincible and invincible giant army disappeared without a trace overnight after Dayu's death...

The historians didn't know why, but they didn't dare to record this army, leaving only a few pitiful words: Yu fixed the Yellow River, and with the help of giants, it was accomplished.

It wasn't until the 80s of the last century that the Russian historian Basayev dug up the bones of giants on the Sino-Russian border and found oracle bone inscriptions proving their identities, which confirmed the existence of giants in the world.

Seeing what Zhang Sanpao said about his nose and eyes, I immediately became interested and quickly asked: "That is to say, the figurines we see now are likely to be the giants who fought with Dayu back then?"

But the fat man sneered again and again: "I said Ding Dong, can you grow a snack? If these figurines are really giants, doesn't it mean that they are living figurines."

"Maybe then, haven't we figured out what material these figurines are made of?"

"Stop joking!" The fat man shook his head in disbelief.

"I'm not kidding, just now I suspected that these figurines are not simple." Zhang Sanpao suddenly said with a gloomy expression.

"Why, Brother Pao, do you believe in Ding Dong's nonsense?" The fat man asked in surprise.

Zhang Sanpao sighed slightly: "Do you know what those white bugs that just crawled out of the figurine's arms are?"

"Rice worms, maggots, or white ants?" the fat man said while snapping his fingers.

"Nonsense, have you ever seen white ants growing inside a human body?" I scolded the fat man.

"That's a corpse worm, a corpse worm that can only reproduce in the human body..." Zhang Sanpao said.

"I'll go." The fat man was so frightened that he almost sat down on the ground, pointed at Zhang Sanpao and cursed, "You fucking captain, why didn't you just say that? You almost killed the fat man."

"The main reason is that the size of these figurines is really too big. Before I saw the stele, I never thought of this. Now that I think about it, I feel more and more suitable." Zhang Sanpao said, and said to himself He said in a nonchalant manner: "However, why did Dayu put these warriors in his own tomb? Does he have any purpose in doing this? It would be great if he could understand the writing on this stone tablet."

Zhang Sanpao was right, this giant clan could be said to be Dayu's henchmen.

There must be some special purpose for him to plant his confidant minions in the tomb passage, and the reason is recorded on the stone tablet.

But Xia Shu is the most difficult text to decipher in all of China, and only a few of us can't get a glimpse of its mysteries. It's like asking an elementary school student to calculate the equation of a university...

Just when everyone was at a loss, I found a huge figurine diagonally opposite, and suddenly blinked at me!
