Chen Ran and the others entered the mountain from the north of Pazhang Village, and the mountain to the north is called Dajianshan. Of course, after leaving Pazhang Village, they did not enter the mountains directly, but the remaining mountains of Dajianshan, heading towards
From a small perspective, it is just a hill next to a hill, with ups and downs and a huge gap. The hills are also cut to pieces by rain and strong winds, and there are countless deep grooves, but fortunately they are vague.
There is still a mountain trail.
After passing the last hill, the terrain suddenly turned down, and in the deep ditch under the last hill was dense weeds.
Running at the front were two wolfdogs. These two wolfdogs were both raised by Mr. Zhao’s family. They were just ordinary wolfdogs. However, the wolfdogs raised in the rural valleys were definitely different from the pet dogs raised in the big cities. At first glance, they were very different.
You can see a strong and fierce spirit.
As the saying goes, you rely on mountains to eat, and you rely on water to eat. Pazhang Village is surrounded by mountains. Therefore, although the villagers of Pazhang Village also farm, in their free time, they often go into the mountains to collect herbs and others.
There are those who pick fruits, and there are those who pick mushrooms... Like this, they will not go into the mountains, they will just be at the foot of Dajianshan. But there is one thing that requires going into the mountains, and that is hunting.
In Pazhang Village, every family has to hunt. Although there have been fewer wild wolves and beasts over the years, there are still many wild boars, rabbits, pheasants, etc. When Mr. Zhao goes into the mountains to hunt, he always takes these two
The archaeological team took the wolfdog with them when they entered the mountain. Although they may encounter some ferocious beasts after entering the primitive forest in the deep mountains, it is definitely not possible to count on these two wolfdogs, but the wolfdog can serve as a warning.
It works, but as long as you don't go too deep into the mountains, the possibility of encountering wild beasts is still very small, and even if you do, it will only be occasionally.
Wolf Dog was followed by Boss Zhao, who was followed by Wang Zhiqing and two armed policemen, followed by Li Hongji, Professor Yue, Wang Fei, Mr. Ma...
Chen Ran followed behind Mr. Ma, helping him from time to time. Among the archaeological team, Professor Yue and Mr. Ma were the oldest. Professor Yue was an archaeological expert. He had long been used to walking on such mountain roads, but it had no impact at all.
, Mr. Ma is tall and has a strong body. He walks without blushing or out of breath. Chen Ran only helps Mr. Ma when he is about to jump up a steep slope.
Behind Chen Ran were Guo Xiaohong, Yan Ruyu, and Sister Ru. The three women looked weak on the surface, but in fact none of them were pampered. In addition to following Professor Yue in archaeology, Guo Xiaohong was also a good athlete. As for
Not to mention Yan Ruyu and Sister Ru, everyone present, even the few armed police officers, may not be able to compare with them...
The three women were followed by Cao Lin and Fan Hong. They and the five staff members behind them all carried a large bag of items. Behind them were two armed policemen who walked at the end.
After descending the hill, the mountain road became narrower and narrower. Weeds as tall as a person grew on both sides. The edges of the leaves were as sharp as knives. Chen Ran accidentally got wisps of grass on his hands and neck.
It was bloodshot, burning and painful. Fortunately, Wang Zhiqing immediately stopped the people and gave everyone a pair of leather gloves.
After passing through the weeds, a large mountain covered with lush trees suddenly appeared in front of them. By this time, they had only reached the foot of Dajianshan, and they had already spent more than two hours on this journey.
.
After all, there were Professor Yue and Mr. Ma in the team. They were in good health, but they were old. They were out of breath after walking for a long time, so they took a short rest here and each of them 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 and other foods that are easy to carry and store. Moreover, before leaving at noon, Mr. Zhao’s family’s food was also prepared.
We also brought some pickled rabbit meat, pickles like cowpeas and the like. We also brought a water bag for each person. The water bag is filled with water. You can just drink it and replenish it at the front. You don’t have to worry about it in the mountains.
All you need is water and food.
After a short rest, everyone entered Dajianshan.
There are no roads in Dajianshan. Even if there were roads thousands of years ago, they were covered by weeds without leaving any trace. The forest is very ancient and grand, with a long history and strong strength firmly combined.
Together, they exuded a solemn atmosphere.
Almost all of them are towering oak trees, stacked on top of each other, standing majestically, with countless thick vines tightly entwining them, making it difficult for the sun to shine in. The low ones are hazel trees, hornbeams, aspens and the like.
, densely packed throughout the forest.
If it weren't for Boss Zhao's leadership, it would be difficult to walk in such a forest even with a compass. Moreover, the roads Boss Zhao led were all shortcuts and easy roads. I walked like this intermittently for about three or four hours.
It was getting late, and the forest became pitch black.
"No, no, no, we can't go any further. If we continue walking, we will encounter wild animals. There are so many of us, and the noise is too great!" Mr. Zhao, who was walking at the front, suddenly stopped, holding a pipe in his mouth and shaking his head.
It kept on going. If he had walked alone, he would have been able to reach almost anywhere in the afternoon. Now that he has brought this team to this place, he has not seen the shadow of Guixiong Ridge yet.
Hearing what he said, everyone could only stop. Wang Zhiqing observed the terrain and asked Boss Zhao if there was a spacious place nearby where he could pitch a tent. Now this place is full of big trees, making it impossible to pitch a tent.
Boss Zhao thought for a moment and then said: "Then let's walk a little further. There happens to be a spring over there, and there is an open space below the spring."
After walking for nearly an hour, everyone arrived at the place that Boss Zhao mentioned. Wang Zhiqing and others cleared the weeds in the open space below the spring, and then cut down some dry branches and weeds in the cleared space.
A fire was lit.
If you sleep outdoors at night, lighting a fire is a must. In addition to the fire, everyone is also given a high-power headlamp.
Although Chen Ran's body is much stronger than before after being nursed back to health by Master Miao during this period, after all, this time is too short, and it is a little worse than others. After leaving this afternoon, he can't stand it, especially
When he was going up the mountain, he had to support Mr. Ma and sit on the grass. He held the water bag and started drinking. Although his stomach was a little empty, he couldn't eat any solid food. It took a long time before he ate some.
Compressed cookies.
Professor Yue and Mr. Ma were also a little overwhelmed. They sat sullenly on the air mattress, eating, drinking water, and not talking. It was not until Chen Ran ate the compressed biscuits that he seemed to have recovered.
"Oh, Old Ma, it seems that your body has not fallen yet. I am not as good as you now." Professor Yue looked at Mr. Ma and said with a wry smile: "Think about the energy I used to work in the field, tsk tsk...
Later, I was locked up in a cowshed for two or three years, and even went to the countryside to build houses for others. I didn't suffer any crime, but I survived it. Now I am old and useless, and I have only gone so far.
, I can’t breathe anymore.”
"Haha..." Mr. Ma laughed loudly and said, "I can't do it anymore. Didn't you see that I'm so tired that I'm out of breath..."
Except for Boss Zhao, the four armed policemen, Yan Ruyu and Sister Ru, everyone present was very tired. Chen Ran was sitting on the air mattress. He didn't even want to open his mouth. Seeing Yan Ruyu's expression, he was still energetic.
Yiyi's appearance made him sigh secretly in his heart.
Although it got dark early in the mountains, it was actually only after six o'clock. Everyone couldn't sleep, so they talked and laughed around the fire. However, it was Professor Yue and Mr. Ma who talked about their archaeological affairs back then, and Yan Ruyu and Sister Ru
, Guo Xiaohong and the other three women all got into the tent.
As they talked, they came to the destination of this archaeological trip. Everyone was guessing what was going on in Guixiong Ridge...
What exactly is there in Ghost Bear Ridge?
I am afraid that no one here wants to know the answer to this question more than Chen Ran, but what exactly is there in Guixiong Ridge?
At this moment, Wang Zhiqing handed Mr. Ma a brocade box: "Teacher, this is what the tomb robber brought out. It looks like a piece of quartz. After testing, it is very hard, even harder than diamond."
Big, it looks like a key to me, it might be useful for our archeology, so I brought it here, can you see if you can tell its origin?"
Mr. Ma nodded and took the brocade box. After opening it, he saw a stone that looked like a key and had a color like quartz. He frowned, thought about it for a while, and nodded: "From the piece of cloth, I saw a piece of stone."
Judging from the Manchu characters, this stone should be the ancestral stone of shamanism."
Seeing the doubts on everyone's faces, Mr. Ma continued: "In the mythology of shamanism, the first life in the universe is called the Stone God, and the world was created by this initial universe god. Stone acts as fire.
The source of life and support is regarded as the mother of the universe or a symbol of the vitality of the universe. When shamanism offers sacrifices, the tribesmen will bow to the ancestral stone. The shaman chants, mother's ancestral stone, mother's ancestral stone, bright ancestral stone, the ancestral stone of life.
Ancestral stones... In folklore, stones are the body through which shamans can entrust their souls. Shamans use stones to nourish their souls and enhance their soul power. Of course, this is just a legend after all. In fact, it does not exist at all, but shamanistic sacrifices
But worshiping stones is real. The stones they worship are called ancestral stones, and the shaman’s clothes are also decorated with sacred stones..."
"It seems that Ghost Bear Ridge is related to shamanism!" Professor Yue nodded and said, pondering for a moment, then frowned: "It's just that there are too many dynasties in China that believe in shamanism, as far back as the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors period, and as recently as the Yuan Dynasty
The Mongolian clan and the Jurchen clan of the Qing Dynasty, I really can’t tell which dynasty this Ghost Bear Ridge is related to!”
Mr. Ma nodded and handed the brocade box containing the shamanistic ancestral stone to Wang Zhiqing. He didn't care about the ancestral stone, because wherever there is shamanism, there will be ancestral stones used for worship and worship.
Not surprising.
Although everyone was in high spirits, they had been on the mountain road all afternoon. After chatting and joking, everyone left behind to guard the watch and got into the tent. Chen Ran was no exception.
Lying on the air mattress in the tent, the rustling sound of dancing phoenixes and trees could be heard from time to time in his ears. However, Chen Ran was flooded with thoughts. Suddenly, he discovered that his own powers could actually read this original shamanic text.
, couldn't help but make him wonder what his superpower was all about. Thinking about it in this way made him look forward to tomorrow even more.
What exactly is there in Ghost Bear Ridge? Can you reveal the secret of your own powers?
late at night.
When Chen Ran woke up, he was suddenly awakened by the roar of wild beasts. He sat up suddenly and heard a series of sharp howls of wolves and dogs in his ears——
There is a beast!
