Chapter 24 The Ghost Sculpture of the Fork Road The Mystery of the Giant Gee

You can always hear rustling sounds. Under the oil lamp, all you see is the vermilion red on the wall at the turn in front of you. Because of the sudden change between the old monkey and the little monkey, everyone's hearts were filled with sadness, and the heavy feeling was suppressed, so people couldn't breathe.

"Old monkey, old monkey..."

"Uncle Monkey, where are you? Come out quickly..."

The Arhat and Yini called out tirelessly, but no matter how they called, they did not see the old monkey. Everyone could understand the old monkey's mood. Try to think about who can be indifferent to the sudden death of his son?

Zhuo Bufei and Baitou Weng said nothing, and from their silent expressions, they could see a strong worry. Unconsciously, they accelerated their pace. This strange corridor seemed to have no end. After a turn, another bend appeared in front of them. What they saw was the vermilion wall that could never be seen.

"Lao Zhuo, have you noticed it? These vermilion walls seem to look familiar." The white-headed man said to himself, slowing down the pace of the people who were rushing.

Zhuo Bufei stared at the wall with sharp eyes, "It's cinnabar."

Everyone looked at the wall curiously. I looked at Zhuo Bufei, and even more surprised. I guessed in my heart who would be so luxurious and use cinnabar to decorate the wall.

The white-headed man squatted down and stroked the steps and said, "This seems to be a cinnabar mine."

"Cinnabar Mine?"

I was shocked and thought, "How could these people dig out a corridor under the cinnabar mine?" I felt more and more curious about this mysterious underground.

Yini looked at me, full of grief. He was still in pain in the death of the little monkey, "Dad, let's go and find Uncle Monkey? Brother Monkey is gone anymore. If Uncle Monkey has something..." She couldn't bear to say it, and reached out to touch her tears.

Although the nose was covered with gauze, the strange smell still poured into my nose, making people feel irritated. Jing Ni was worried that the old monkey would comfort her, so she took the lead and walked forward first.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

It seemed like a crying sound, but it didn't look like it, but it was more like the whisper of the wind.

The faint wind blew in, and I felt happy in my heart, thinking that I could finally leave this hateful place. No matter who is driving on the narrow and dark road for a long time, I will feel a sense of panic that I cannot fall.

I couldn't help but speed up, and after turning a few turns, I didn't get out of the predicament as I imagined. Fortunately, I could feel the existence of the wind, and the gauze lamp in my hand also shaking, almost blowing out.

"Ah woo, ah woo."

The charming trembled and shouted, "Who is?" I also stopped the sound of footsteps, right next door, as if it was a crying sound, and everyone raised their ears.

"Uncle Monkey, is it you?" Yini called, letting the voice echo at the end, but there was no reply. Yini turned around and looked at me, as if praying. I was excited and walked forward with the strange iron sickle lost by the little monkey in my hand.

This was a turn, and I walked forward gently, deliberately lowering my footsteps. The whimpering sound became even more rapid, and suddenly changed, turning into a giggling giggle.

My hair was creepy, my hair became irritated, and my scalp became numb. I turned around and looked at Yan Ni. Seeing his urgent and contradictory eyes, I couldn't help but pluck up the courage again and rushed out with a sickle.

I felt the blackness in front of me, and the oil lamp was extinguished strangely. I danced hard with the iron sickle in my hand, and felt a chill in my neck. My eyes were originally different from ordinary people. After slowly seeing it clearly, there was a long fork in front of me. I breathed a little relieved, but there was a cold feeling behind me. I turned around and looked at me in panic, and my heart was suddenly full of fear.

"Ah." I waved my sickle hard and slashed over. With a loud bang, my hands were trembling and numb. I felt panic and didn't know what to do, so I endured the pain and slashed over again. When some sparks popped out of the darkness, they flashed and disappeared into the night.

In front of me was a huge monster, with two winding horns on its head, and its protruding eyes emitted a dark light. Long fangs stretched out under the bulging corners of the mouth. It looked very terrifying.

"Brother Cheng, what's wrong?" Yini walked in quickly, and the gauze lantern was almost blown out. Fortunately, she was prepared and blocked the storm from the side with her body.

With the light, I finally saw the monster in front of me, a vermilion carving, but my eyes were very strange, more like a pair of crystal balls. When I looked carefully, I found that the stone sculpture in front of me was more like the bull head we were beginning to see.

At this moment, the carved mouth made a whimpering sound. I took a few steps back in horror, but Yini was so scared that she threw down the gauze lamp in her hand. I raised the iron sickle vigilantly and thought to myself, "Can this monster be alive?" Suddenly, a cool breeze blew from my face, and the strange crying sounded again. My heart was beating wildly, and I looked boldly, and I slowly saw it clearly, and I realized that behind the head of the carving object, there was a very strange hole. The wind sounded into the hole, making a whimpering sound, which was very similar to the crying sound. After thinking it through, my fearful heart calmed down.

Zhuo Bufei and others looked at the stone sculpture in front of them and said in surprise, "It's really unimaginable how much manpower is needed for such a large carving."

At this moment, another strange laughter came from behind.

"Woo hahaha, woo hahaha."

I was almost frightened, and the white-headed man squeezed the explosives in his hand. In the darkness, a figure slowly ran from the side, making a strange murmur.

"Old monkey, is it you?" The Arhat shone forward with a gauze lamp, but he could not see clearly the eyes of the visitor in the darkness.

"Uncle Monkey, is it you?" Yini shouted expectantly, and the people who came into the darkness still didn't say a word and didn't care about us at all.

"It's not an old monkey." Zhuo Bufei said with a glimpse of his eyes, "Everyone, be careful."

Who would it be? I looked at the figures that kept coming towards us in horror. In the shadows, I found that the man's clothes were shining with golden light, which were military uniforms, the clothes of the Yunnan army. Who else would be in this hole besides us? I thought of Fujiwara San.

"Who are you? If you don't talk, I'll shoot." Yini raised her pistol, but the man showed her white teeth at us, made a giggle sound, and reached out to pounce on Yini.

"Bang bang bang."

Yini screamed in shock and fired several shots in a row, but the man just took a few steps back and fell down staggeringly, still making a whimpering sound in his mouth.

"Zombie? Could it be a zombie?" Luo Han was stunned. He picked up the four-edged iron stick and poked the man who fell to the ground. Without any reaction, he breathed deeply, "It's a human, but..." He didn't understand where these people came from.

"It seems that Fujiwara Mi is coming." Zhuo Bufei stared at the end of the fork road, felt the sharp rock wind blowing in, reminding him, "Everyone should be careful."

Yini beat someone to death for the first time. She looked at the corpse on the ground in a daze, her hands trembled, and she stood there staggeringly.

The corpse lying on the ground suddenly sat up, and his body made a crackling sound, mechanically pounced towards the back of the Luohan.

I hurriedly picked up the sickle and slashed at the man's chest. Huh, the sickle slashed through the void and slashed on the man's body, making a jingle sound, as if it was slashing on the steel plate. Instead, my arms were numb and almost couldn't hold the sickle. I was secretly surprised. Could this person be really a zombie and invulnerable to swords and guns?

The man staggered again. The Arhat turned around in anger, kicked the man who was about to fall out with anger, and knocked him on the wall, making a muffled sound. The Arhat looked at me gratefully, knocked the iron stick in his hand against the ground, and dragged him towards the man.

Ticking, like a bead falling on a jade plate, dozens of beads rolled out of the man's arms, emitting a blue light, illuminating the entire rushing road.

"Is this?" The white-headed man trembled and looked at Zhuo Bufei and said, "Ye Mingzhu." He had never seen such a big night pearl.

Zhuo Bufei nodded and found that three night pearls were damaged on the ground. Everyone suddenly felt enlightened and understood. Zhuo Bufei said, "It was the Yi Ni shot just now, and Brother Cheng's full strength that broke the Night Pearl. It was just the first time I saw such a big night pearl."

Luohan and I picked up Ye Mingzhu on the ground one after another and handed one to Zhuo Bufei and Baitou Weng. Zhuo Bufei looked at Ye Mingzhu carefully, and then became lost again, and even forgot about the old monkey. However, Luohan touched the damaged Ye Mingzhu in his hand with heartache.

Yini slowly looked at the corpse lying on the ground, but saw that the man did not move abnormally. He boldly stretched out his hand to breathe. The man had no breathing. A ray of light shone and his eyes hurt. Yini saw that a golden needle shining on the man's neck was constantly trembling. She couldn't help but become curious and reached out to pull out the golden needle. A blood arrow was emitting. Fortunately, Yini reacted very quickly and avoided the blood arrow in a thrilling way.

With the Night Pearl, we don’t need oil lamps, but are safer than oil lamps. I witnessed what happened just now and felt uneasy.

Yini handed the golden needle in her hand to Zhuo Bufei. Zhuo Bufei looked at it and passed it to Baitou Weng.

"It seems that it was the reason for this golden needle that made this man lose his mind." The white-headed man said thoughtfully, "I just don't know what they encountered?"

Zhuo Bufei stroked Ye Mingzhu in his hand and said, "It seems that they have found a good thing, but accidentally touched something they shouldn't have touched."

When the Luohan heard this, he said happily, "Then let's leave quickly, so that we can get a piece of the pie, so that those guys will snatch all the good things."

"Hmph, have you forgotten the character of Gao Liangjun?" Zhuo Bufei reminded, "We have more important things, try not to conflict with them. But I am just wondering where they came here from, at least it can prove that this is the same."

The Luohan reminded, "Old Zhuo, don't forget that Fujiwara Mitsu and the Gaoliang army came out of that mysterious tomb."

Zhuo Bufei couldn't help but nodded and said, "Let's go. When you get here, even if you have a map, it's useless."

Yini interrupted, "Dad, I'm very worried about Uncle Monkey. Let's go find him, okay?"

Zhuo Bufei stretched out his hand comfortably, stroked her head, and nodded with a smile.

The Arhat looked at the fork road and hesitated, "Now we go there? Where will we lead after passing this stone carving? If we go here, we may meet old acquaintances."

"I think we'd better go here, I feel that the old monkey will definitely go here." The white-headed man pointed to the passage that appeared behind the stone sculpture.

Zhuo Bufei and Luohan looked at each other, nodded and said, "Listen to you."

When I passed under the stone carving's belly, my head felt numb and my breathing was heavy. I was invaded by an invisible pressure, and my heart hung up again. The night pearl in my hand emitted a charming light, shining on the stone carving's dark eyes, with a dark light, which actually rolled with our movement. Silver tears dripped from my eyes, fell on the ground and splashed silver water, and finally invaded the ground, disappearing without a trace.

I almost didn't want to take a look, and hurriedly chased others, but the strange whimper kept coming from my ears. I couldn't help but look back in fear, but was shocked to find that the corpse lying on the ground was missing.

"Brother Cheng, what's wrong with you?" Yini asked with concern, "You have a lot of sweat on your forehead."

"Oh, is that?" I wiped the sweat beads from my forehead in panic. I wanted to explain to her what I saw, but his haggard face fell into my eyes and felt a little unbearable. He held the sickle in his hand and squeezed it tighter, and said excitedly, "Let's go quickly, everyone will be worried later."

After walking for a while, he turned around and his eyes became empty, while Zhuo Bufei looked ahead in a daze.

The silver light shines, it is completely a silver ocean, the ancient well of the sea is silently like a mirror.

A boat appeared on the sea, quietly and unmoving, as if it had been through thousands of years.

I opened my eyes wide and didn't believe in everything I saw. Even if there was a different world here, I never dared to think about the huge lakes and seas, and it was a silver ocean.

Gudong

A round silver bead fell from the sky, dripping into the silver sea, splashing huge waves and spreading towards the distance, but when it touched the huge boat, it disappeared strangely. The waves in the silver sea were surging, but the big ship did not shake at all.

The silver water droplets gradually fell on my body, and a bad smell rushed into my breath. I shouted in horror, "This is mercury, everyone should be careful."

I have seen mercury in the army, so I am very familiar with it. Looking at this terrifying mercury ocean, I still can't accept the facts in front of me.

"Oh my god? In ancient times, only emperors could use mercury. Even if they were put in the present, it would be valuable. This time they would be really rich." The Arhat shouted excitedly, "We might as well start selling mercury." But then he thought that the distance was unknown. When he took out the mercury, he didn't know how much effort it would take. He suddenly smiled and stared at the sea.

The strange smell of mercury poured into his nose, and he tightened the strips on his nose to cover up the smell and poured into his nose. Mercury was highly poisonous, but I was afraid I didn't believe it. This huge ocean of mercury was not that pungent. Perhaps it was just mercury diluted by water. But I once tried it. Mercury would not be diluted in water, but everything in front of me was really unexplainable. Instead, the more I thought about it, I felt more and more shocked.

The white-headed man looked around and said, "This is natural mercury, which is even more valuable, but why are there so much natural mercury here?"

At this moment, the huge silver water droplet dripped from the air again, picking up the mercury waves. I hurriedly looked in the direction of the mercury dripping, and was stunned to find that on the deep and invisible top, a terrifying face appeared in front of me. A huge silver water droplet dripped from the corner of the grimace's mouth like coveting. The dense stone stalactites around appeared. At a rough look, they looked like countless needles sealing the grimace.

"Dad, there is someone on the boat?" Yini screamed in horror.

The Luohan said in a trembling voice, "This is impossible?" But his eyes gradually stiffened when he stared at him.

My eyes gradually became clear. In the silver ocean, the boat was swaying, and a faint light shone out from afar.

"Impossible, mercury is highly poisonous. Even if the protective measures are good, no one will definitely live here." Zhuo Bufei looked at the giant ship and said in shock, "This is more than three times larger than a foreign cruise ship. Who is so amazing."

"Is there really someone?" I saw the figure shaking. Under the dim light on the boat, it was like a figure shaking. After a few sways, it disappeared. I thought it was my eyes blurry, so I rubbed it hard and confirmed that it was a figure.

"It's a clever and craftsman." The white-headed man Wuxia looked at the huge boat and exclaimed, "I don't know what the treasure my ancestors said...?"

"Zheng He's treasure ship."

Zhuo Bufei and Baitou Weng shouted in unison, obviously very excited.

"The ancestors' rumors have recorded that Zheng Hebao's ship is 44 zhang long and 18 zhang wide. There are 62 ships in total. After Zheng He traveled to the West seven times, he transported countless treasures, and was called the "treasure ship". "Zhuo Bufei said excitedly, "Yes, it seems that it must be a treasure ship at this moment. Since the Ming Dynasty, no one has been able to build such a treasure ship. Emperors of all dynasties want to repair the treasure ship, but they have lost the construction drawings of the treasure ship. Many skilled craftsmen have been busy and sleeping, and have not been able to build a treasure ship. Some people even say that this Zheng He's treasure ship is not a thing on earth at all, but a thing from heaven."

"It seems that this rumor cannot be said to be true at this moment." The white-headed man said thoughtfully, "Look, this ship appears underground. If it is Zheng He's treasure ship, how could it appear underground? And under the sacrificial holy land of Dian Kingdom?"

The Arhat suddenly appeared and said, "Didn't it mean that Daoyan came here and took away the bronze drum? Could this treasure ship be built by Daoyan after discovering it from here and then building it based on this ship?"

"What do you mean is that this treasure ship was originally a thing of the Dian Kingdom. It was discovered by Daoyan accidentally, and then learned, produced in large quantities, and then used by Zheng He, becoming a ship for voyage to the West to visit various countries?" Zhuo Bufei said more and more shocked.

The white-headed man stared at the giant ship and said, "Zheng He was born here. Could it be that Zheng He brought Daoyan here?"

Zhuo Bufei trembled and said in surprise, "It is very likely that Master Daoyan is a genius. He is Zheng He's master, but we really can't guess how he came here."

I looked at the huge and sturdy boat and said to several people, "Even if this boat is so far from the shore, how did Daoyan get up? Also, is there anyone who saw the figure we just saw?"
