Chapter 267 Wild Ghost Stone
After crossing the Juxi River, the surrounding environment has undergone earth-shaking changes. Not only does it not have dense jungle, tall vegetation, or beautiful appearance.
It looks like an ordinary mountain road, with narrow sides, just enough for one person to squeeze through.
Qi Tianchuan looked up and saw that it seemed like a dead end. The tall mountains seemed to have reached the sky at first sight. Although the scenery was very good, it was not as good as the python forest and the giant rhino river.
When you squeeze through the narrow mountain path, you will see a particularly empty place. At first glance, there is a huge rock standing in the center of the winding houses around you.
The old man smiled and pinched his waist with his hands and explained, "Before, this wild ghost stone is the wild ghost stone. The houses around him were also built by our ancestors. I heard that this wild ghost stone can connect the underworld and the human world. If the ghost puts his hands on, you can hear the sound of the human world. When the ghost puts his hands on, you can hear the wailing sounds from the wronged souls in hell."
I was amazed at everything in front of me, but this stone also reminded me of Jingmanger and the Carbon Ghost Cave.
It is said that you can hear strange sounds in these places, and Jingmanger can hear the sounds of the ancient battlefield, while the Carbon Ghost Cave seems to be able to contact ghosts.
Now there is another place, Gu Forest Wild Ghost Stone. Faced with these, it is inevitable that curiosity is flooded. As soon as he was about to move forward, he was stopped by Qi Tianchuan.
He looked at the flat terrain in front of him and said, "There seems to be another special place in the rumors about the Wild Ghost Stone, that is, the flat ground in front of him. If he passes rashly, he will definitely be injured."
When the old man heard this, he smiled and said, "It seems that you have researched this place, yes, the beauty of this wild ghost stone is not only that it can hear ghosts and monsters wailing. It is also that there are mechanisms underground."
I looked at it, swallowed and said, "Mechanism? Who can live in this ghost place? How can there be mechanism?"
"A thousand years ago, our ancestors lived here to avoid many foreign tribes. But some things were never unprepared for, so they set up traps here. If you don't understand this mechanism, even a fly flies by, it will trigger the mechanism."
"Then what is under this mechanism? Could it be something like poisonous arrows?"
"We were the first place to discover witchcraft. How could we use poison arrows? There is a sinkhole hidden below, and millions of marbles are buried in the sinkhole. The ancestors first set up a mechanism and then covered it with soil. As soon as the mechanism is violated, the marbles in the sinkhole will bounce up, and water with venom will be sprayed out from the pipes. There is a rainy season here for three months every year, and this sinkhole is inexhaustible."
After the old man finished speaking, he patted my chest and pointed at my eyes. I was stunned for a while and couldn't help but feel a little reluctant. But in his helplessness, he had to take it off and return it to him!
The sky seemed to be getting darker and began to thunder and lightning. I, who was a little strange, thought it was not long after.
There are many rainy seasons here, so the temperature is unpredictable. The old man smiled, picked up a stone from the ground and threw it over.
At that moment, a row of bamboo tubes on the path suddenly burst out of the ground and immediately spewed out some water.
The old man walked slowly forward, throwing a stone back every step, and the passing bamboo tube was naturally blocked with cotton in his clothes.
After doing it for a long time, we looked back and found that there was only a distance of about ten meters behind us, and the cotton in the down jacket had been used up. The old man sighed and stood there.
We were a little surprised. We had already gone so far, why didn’t we go suddenly?
He pointed to the mountain road beside him. When we looked in that direction, we found that the geese were coming south. The old man just said that even if a fly flew by, these mechanisms would be activated. The geese flew by the air, and there was nothing we could do about it.
The four of us were stunned and watched the geese fly over, but just as the geese approached the valley, all the mechanisms on the ground were activated again.
The water columns sprayed into the sky, but they were still a little far away from the geese. It was about to rain, and I didn't want to stay here. As soon as I turned my head, I saw all the geese falling down.
We swallowed one after another and continued to walk forward. The old man was very slow, which was also for everyone's safety.
Bypassing the mechanism, we arrived in front of the house. Although the construction of the house was ancient, it could be seen that it was a mortise and tenon structure. When I pushed open the door, a layer of ashes fell on the plaque. The house was relatively empty and dark. Not far away in front of me was the wild ghost stone.
Since I was a child, I have never seen such a big stone, carved with particularly subtle stripes like a magical avatar.
Wang Zheng stepped forward and looked at it, exclaiming, "Although the room is a bit dilapidated, the stone is indeed amazing. If this is not a meteorite outside the sky, it must be a magical craftsman."
Qi Tianchuan, who had been silent, looked around and seemed to have found something. He said with regret, "Looking at the degree of damage to the house, it doesn't seem to be caused by man. Look, the building here is relatively large, and there are five floors in total. The damage extends from the fourth floor to the ground. Look, the three pits on the ground seem to be caused by those claws."
Wang Zheng and I walked closer and saw that it was a bit similar, but if the thing started attacking from the house, it would be so easy to move such a big stone.
After leaving for a day, we were tired. The old man sighed and cleaned up a place in the house.
It was already windy and heavy rain outside, and it started to fog when it rained, so we had no way to move forward.
Wang Zheng was so angry that he sat by the fire and watched. The old man who led us was fine, so he kept squatting beside him and smoking a cigarette.
Qi Tianchuan seemed to be worried about Leng Tianya's affairs. Every time he took a step inside, his eyebrows became more and more frowned.
"Oh, I don't know when the rain will fall, and I will starve to death."
After hearing what Wang Zheng said, I smiled, opened my backpack and took out a lot of snacks from it. These things were originally planned to be eaten by Ruoqing and Zishi on the road, but now it seems that I can only help the world.
Seeing the sky getting darker outside, the four of us could only rest first. I was very curious about the stone behind me, but without Qi Tianchuan's consent, I naturally didn't dare to touch it.
I smashed my mouth and said in a roundabout way, "You guys can really hear the sounds in the underworld? Why don't I believe it at all?"
