Sand Sea Devil's Nest 19

Except for me, the rest of the people felt strange when they heard the fat man’s words. What’s going on with this person? Why did this jade eyeball become yours? What are you thinking?

I murmured in my heart: "If these archaeologists know that we are working as a blond-haired Qiu, it would be a big deal." I hurriedly reached out and gave the fat man a slut: "Not that much nonsense, no one would treat you as a mute if he said less."

The fat man knew he had made up his words, so he closed his mouth and stopped talking. Fortunately, he was wearing a double filter box gas mask on his face, and the temple was dark, and no one could see anyone's expression, which also avoided some unnecessary embarrassment.

Professor Chen and his three students are all nerds. What I worry most is that Shirley Yang is seeing through. She is many times better than me and reacts quickly. If you show off a little bit, you can't hide it from her. Maybe she has long seen that Fatty and I are craftsmen who fight against each other, but I just haven't said it. Now that things have come to this point, I don't need to add burden to myself, so I no longer think about it and help Fatty put the jade pendant on the jade eyeball.

The pupil of the jade eyeball faced upwards, facing the ceiling. The groove directly above seemed to match the fat man's jade. It changed the direction of the jade several times and finally stood in line. It stuck in with a "click". The jade eyeball shook and rolled away from the previously fixed position. The ground was bare. I don't know what mechanism was the force of the mechanism that fixed the jade eye there just now.

I picked up the jade eyeball, handed it to Professor Chen's hands, and asked him to watch it.

Shirley Yang Zheliang illuminated Professor Chen with a fluorescent tube, so that he could see more clearly. Professor Chen took out a big glass, turned it over and pondered it for two or three minutes, and kept shaking his head: "This... I can't see what it is for, but this jade eye is so big that it is natural, and there is no trace of artificiality at all. It can even be said that artificial technology could not have been created two thousand years ago."

The ghost cave civilization of Jingjue Kingdom is too mysterious. Professor Chen and others have exhausted their efforts over the past few decades and have not mastered much information. They only have a preliminary understanding of some ghost cave characters and history. They speculated that this was a nation that worships the eyes as the totem for spiritual worship, or a judgment made after the Black Tower. At this moment, it is naturally impossible to explain what this mysterious jade eye is.

It can be identified at present that this hall with sixteen giant stone pillars is a temple. Since Jingjue Kingdom regards the eyes as the highest source of energy, it is natural to worship an eyeball in the temple.

But why does this jade eye have a groove that fits the fat man's jade pendant completely, and once it is installed, the jade eye that was originally fixed to the floor will fall off naturally, and these things are incomprehensible.

Professor Chen asked the fat man to tell the origin of his jade pendant in its original form, and he must not hide it at all, nor should he exaggerate it, and must seek truth from facts.

The fat man has been a self-employed person for several years. He usually brags about the mountains and talks about the mountains, but he basically doesn't care about it. He brags about whatever he catches up. Before coming to Xinjiang, he once told the professors and others that this piece of jade was obtained when he went to Xinjiang to fight bandits. At that time, everyone laughed at it, and no one took it seriously. He just saw that there was a mysterious ghost cave text on the jade, so he agreed to let him join the archaeological team and go to Xinjiang together.

Now that he was asked about it, the fat man saw that everyone was serious about it, he did not dare to brag. His knowledge of the origin of this jade was very limited, so he told it all:

It turned out that Fatty's father participated in the revolution as early as fifteen years old and during the Juma Riot period, there was a comrade in the late period of the Liberation War. Two comrades who were originally in the same squad were already separated by one, one in the first field and the other in the third field. Both of them were senior commanders at the level of the column commander. Fatty's father's comrade, when the People's Liberation Army's 1st Field and One Corps entered Xinjiang, led his troops through Niya, on the southwest edge of the Taklamakan Desert, and encountered a group of more than a hundred bandits on the way.

The situation in Xinjiang was very complicated at that time. There were many scattered soldiers and raiders from various armed forces, as well as a large number of bandits, horse thieves, etc., so it was normal for the People's Liberation Army to have an encounter with the bandits. In a short and fierce battle, the Chief Guard Group beat the bandits to death and flee, and finally found the jade pendant on the corpse of a black bearded bandit leader.

There is no way to know the origin and purpose of this jade pendant. Apart from the unusual color and texture, there are no special features on it, so I didn't take it seriously.

Later, when the leader heard that his old comrade had a fat boy, he asked someone to give the jade he had accidentally obtained as a gift and gave it to him.

Later, after the February countercurrent, the fat man's parents were affected and died one after another. The leader in Xinjiang also passed away due to illness. The fat man was only fifteen or sixteen years old, and he was at the age of four or six. In the end, the only piece of ancient jade left in the family was preserved like a treasure. All he knew about the origin of this jade was this.

After hearing this, Professor Chen sighed: "It's a pity that these people are gone. This piece of Jingjue jade has changed hands several times, and the source is no longer verified..." After speaking, he was very sad and felt extremely sorry for not being able to understand the mystery of this jade eyeball.

Shirley Yang took the jade eyes from the professor to watch. She was very focused and looked at it carefully. I saw that she had never said much since she entered Jingjue Ancient City. I thought that she might have never found her father's trace after seeing this ancient city. So she was worried. Her father's explorers have been missing for more than a year. It is hard to say whether they have arrived here. Moreover, it is located at the mountain pass, with many strong winds and sandstorms. The whole city has been buried in the desert by the wind and sand. After being buried, it is exposed by the next wind. We can be very lucky to find this time. It is like finding a small expedition team in this vast desert. It is not easy to find a needle in the seabed. She always has a glimmer of hope and will feel at ease when she sees the body. The deeper she explores in Jingjue Ancient City, the stronger the feeling of loss in her heart.

In the valley, I was saved by her. I hoped to have the opportunity to do something for her. At this time, I saw that she was interested in this jade eyeball and thought it was a pity that the ancient jade was a fat man's thing. It would be nice to give it to her if it was mine.

Before Shirley Yang finished reading, the fat man was reluctant to let go and reached out to ask for it. Shirley Yang held his jade-eyed hand and shrank back, and said to the fat man: "What are you anxious about? I will definitely give you my attention after watching it."

The fat man said, "Don't talk nonsense, this jade belongs to our family. What's wrong with making you a foreigner look like? I'm afraid you won't be able to pull it out from your eyes." As he said that, he grabbed his hand on the jade's eyes and grabbed it back.

Seeing this, I hurriedly dissuaded: "Don't rob you two, don't rob, can you give me some face as the captain? I'll make the decision and let Miss Yang... watch for five minutes first."

I was afraid that the fat man and Shirley Yang would argue and break the jade eyeball, so I said as I reached out to press the jade eyeball in their hands. Unexpectedly, when they saw that I intervened, they didn't want to fight and let go of their hands together.

I only stretched out one hand and pressed it from above. The jade eyes were round and big, and I couldn't hold it back. The jade eyes fell heavily to the ground, and with a click, it fell into eight petals.

Everyone stared at me with big eyes, Professor Chen pointed at me with trembling all over his body: "You...you you..." You were so angry that you didn't say a word.

I couldn't argue and shook my hands repeatedly: "I'm not...I'm...I'm...I'm kind enough, didn't expect... why is he so unsolicited?" As he said, he reached out to pick up the jade fragments on the ground, and prayed in his heart that it would be best to stick it up and restore it, otherwise they asked me to compensate. This is a priceless treasure, and even if I sell it apart, I can't afford it.

I was a little anxious and confused at that time, and I forgot to pray to Hu Da, God, Chairman Mao, or Buddha. Perhaps because of the lack of fixed faith, the prayer effect was not very significant. My eyes were not very heavy, and the stone bricks on the ground were hard, and some places were broken into pieces. I scratched the ground for a long time, but I didn't find all the fragments.

The fat man said, "Okay, Lao Hu, if you fall, you will fall. Don't pick it up." As he said that, he pulled my arm and wanted to pull me up.

I squatted for a little longer, and I was anxious. The equipment in the geological bag behind me was heavy again. I was pulled by the fat man and my foot was unstable. I sat on the ground. I struggled to get up. I looked up accidentally and saw a basin-sized eye on the roof of the temple in the faint light, with a strange light flashing, staring at us.

When we came in, we took a rough look at the surrounding environment. We didn't look at it carefully. No one noticed when such a big eyeball came out.

I hurriedly shone the flashlight upwards. Although the temple is high, the range on the top should be within the range of my flashlight. Unexpectedly, when the flashlight shines on it, the light column seems to be swallowed up by darkness. Except for the huge red-wireed eyeball, the rest of the roof is pitch black and you can't see anything.

The other six people also saw the huge strange eye above their heads. Everyone thought it was not good, and they were afraid that the strange eye would fall and hurt them, so they all retreated one after another.

I saw the giant eye turn around in the air and land on the ground. We all saw clearly that although this thing looked like an eyeball, it was actually a translucent ball of flesh. The outside was full of blue-white substances, and there was a large ball of black things in the middle. It would be strange if I didn't regard it as an eyeball.

When the fat man saw this strange and unusual ball of meat, he panicked and put the assault rifle on his back in his hand and was about to shoot. I quickly pressed his arm: "Don't act rashly..."

Before we could figure out what this was, the giant-eyed ball of flesh suddenly cracked open, and hundreds of entangled black snakes flowed out of it. These strange snakes were as black scales all over the body, only a few dozen centimeters long, and a black sarcoma on the top of their heads.

Piles of strange snakes squirmed together, their bodies covered with sticky transparent liquid, as if they had just hatched from their eggs, which was disgusting. Everyone was numb to their scalp and couldn't help but take a few steps back.

We once saw a statue of the patron saint with a snake-headed human head in the black tower. There was also such a black ball above the head. At that time, Professor Chen speculated that the black ball was an eye. No wonder Shirley Yang saved my life with a flash in the valley at an emergency. It seems that the sarcoma on the snake's head, even if it is not an eye, is extremely sensitive to light sources.

The scene in the valley left a deep impression on us. This strange snake, who is unknown, can fly for several meters in the air with its strong body, and is extremely toxic. Once it is bitten, it will not have time to rescue it and will die immediately.

At this time, the fat man and I stood in front of everyone and shot them while the black snakes were still entangled and had not dispersed. They had extremely strong vitality, and only one head left could still hurt people. I shot and called Chu Jian, poured the solid fuel on, and ignited the fire to completely burn them.

The firelight illuminated the temple full of large stone pillars. Before hundreds of black snakes could show their poisonous fangs, they were burned to charcoal. I breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the appearance of these black monster snakes was related to my breaking of the jade eye? Or the jade eye was a sacrificial weapon. Putting the ancient jade on the jade eye completed a certain ritual and guiding these strange snakes out of the so-called imaginary space? No matter what it is, when you see this jade eye in the future, you must not take it lightly.

I asked everyone to look around, for fear of missing fish. I looked at the roof carefully, and there were flat stone bricks everywhere, so I couldn't figure out where the big-eyed snake egg came from.

This careful inspection doesn't matter. Sure enough, I found some unusual places. The sixteen giant stone pillars in the temple, each of which has six eyes on the body. The base of the stone pillar is hexagonal, with five sides at the center. Each side is carved with a small symbol, which is different, namely the hungry ghost, the sheep's head, the Hu man, the giant eyed man, the guardian beast, and the other side is empty.

These stone pillars attracted our attention. Professor Chen recorded the directions and types of these symbols one by one with a pen, and let us turn the hexagonal stone base under the stone pillar. After a try, it turned out that there was a stone trough below, separated from the column body, and it could rotate as long as we used force.

The professor said that it seems that this building is a building with large stone pillars, and it is a temple used for rituals. It is also a multi-functional sacrificial place. The hexagonal symbol at the base of the pillar indicates its function.

These stone pillars are arranged in groups of four, and now they are arranged in the order of the patron saint. The jade eyeball just now is a sacrificial artifact, and the fat man's ancient jade is a magic weapon for the launching ceremony. It is not ruled out that there are other magic weapons. As for how this magic weapon was left outside, there will probably never be an answer. Maybe a tomb robber expedition team once entered the temple of the ancient kingdom of Jingjue. Maybe two thousand years ago, those slaves who stole it in order to resist the rule of Queen Jingjue, had no idea.

It can be inferred that once the magic weapon is connected, a strange snake regarded as a guardian can be summoned and enjoy the sacrifice. Moreover, this is a multi-functional temple because the stone pillar not only has a high-ranking guardian god, but also a slave, livestock, evil ghost, and the temple may also be used to perform rituals such as suppressing evil spirits and punishing slaves. Different ritual objects are determined through the arrangement and changes of symbols under the stone pillar.

Shirley Yang asked: "Professor, this temple should be a place as important as the palace. Will there be secret passages here connecting to the underground palace? Let's look around and see? Xiaoye is not in good health now, so he must find the water veins in the underground palace as soon as possible."

Professor Chen said: "I can guarantee the bill, there must be such a secret passage, but since it is a secret passage, the scale of this temple is so large, where can we find it in a moment or three moments?"

The fat man interjected, "Two shopkeepers, as the saying goes, take money and solve problems with others. You probably don't know how capable Lao Hu and I are. Don't we have so many Soviet Union's*? You guys go out for a break and I will blow up the passage so that you can also see our methods."

Professor Chen waved his hand quickly: "Don't do anything nonsense, these are the remains of ancient civilizations, and destroying a brick is a crime."

I thought to myself that I broke the jade eyeball just now. Now is my opportunity to atone for my sins. The mountains, rivers, geography, five elements, Feng Shui in the world are all in my heart. It is not difficult to find a secret passage, so I said to them: "I see that the arrangement of the sixteen stone pillars of this temple is the same as the arrangement of the sixteen dragons through the ground. This layout is inconsistent with the number of Jumen. An ancient tomb in the Han Dynasty used this mechanism to arrange it. I used the situation around the ancient city on the black tower, and it was indeed a good place to take advantage of the territory. It can be seen that the Queen Jingjue is also a master who is proficient in metaphysics. I might as well try it out. Use the technique of dividing gold and defining acupoints to find the passage in the temple. Maybe I can find a secret passage. However, I am also a beginner to learn this method. If I can't find it, we will think of another way."

After hearing this, everyone agreed. Jinghou was watching. I walked to the center of the temple to see the stone pillars around me. In fact, the arrangement of the sixteen dragon pillars through the ground was not too difficult, and it was nothing more than the changes in the five elements and twenty-four directions. It was just that the location and occasion were different, and I changed slightly. I walked between the stone pillars several times, and secretly calculated in my mind.

The sixteen dragons that penetrate the ground are actually snakes. "The Secret Technique of Yin and Yang Feng Shui of Sixteen Characters" says: Snakes float and suddenly north and south. Among these sixteen, only one of them passes through the earth veins is the real dragon. It is simple to say, but it takes a lot of effort to use it. Finally, the target is locked on the four floor tiles deep in the temple.

I knocked it with a small geological hammer. Three of them were real, only one of them made an echo of empty echo. This big stone brick, two meters square, did not have any wear or damage caused by frequent movement on the edge. It seems that few people have used this passage. Unless they use zha medicine, they will definitely not be able to pry it open. The nearest stone pillar is the mechanism. I don’t know if this mechanism is still effective now.

I asked the fat man to come and help. I put my hand on the hexagonal stone trough under the stone pillar. If I turn the wrong direction and trigger some mechanism, it will be over. Then I asked the other Professor Chen and others to retreat outside the temple, wipe the sweat beads on their heads and told the fat man that they should first aim at the stone brick that might be secretly traversed, and then prepare to turn the five grids clockwise, turn one grid in reverse, and then turn eleven grids clockwise, and then turn two grids in reverse. No more, no less, otherwise what will happen is hard to say.

The fat man said, "Old Hu, you think I don't know how to calculate. My grades were much better than you when I was in school. Stop talking nonsense, just transfer it."

I silently recited the secret technique in my mind: "Looking for a dragon thousands of miles away, seeking it from the left and right, following the yang for five steps, and yin follows one of them, and turning."
