Xiao Baihe, who was standing aside, saw Chen Jie being so respectful, so he imitated Chen Jie's example, clasped his hands together, and bowed, but kept muttering the word "peace" in his mouth.
, not very religious.
But seeing that the captain had set an example, she had no choice but to follow suit. Anyway, there was nothing wrong with what the captain did.
"There is actually a mountain god here and there is also an incense burner and a tripod for worship. This shows one thing."
Chen Jie raised his head and looked at the mountain god in front of him, thoughtfully.
"whats the matter?
team leader?"
Xiao Baihe looked at Chen Jie with curiosity, wanting to know what Chen Jie was thinking.
"There must have been people living here. To be able to create this on such a hard mountain, do you think any other creature besides humans could do this?"
Chen Jie pointed to the mountain god carved out of stone, and a scene emerged in his mind.
Xiao Baihe looked at Chen Jie with a sudden realization. It turned out that this was what the captain was referring to.
"Captain, could it be those savages?"
Xiao Baihe suddenly remembered the couple he saw before.
"I don't know, there must be a legend about this kind of thing. Let's go up and have a look."
Chen Jie was very curious about this place, especially after seeing the mountain temple. He always felt that something unexpected would happen here.
"ah?
Do you want to climb up?"
Xiao Baihe's eyes widened and she looked at Chen Jie in disbelief. It would be quite strenuous to climb up such a steep hillside.
"Wait for me here, I'll go up and take a look alone."
Chen Jie took off the bamboo basket behind him and planned to go into battle lightly.
"No, it's too dangerous. I want to go with you."
Xiao Baihe subconsciously reached out and grabbed Chen Jie's arm, refusing to let go.
Chen Jie looked at the white hands on his arms, smiled at Lily Xiao, and comforted Lily Xiao.
"Hey, climbing a mountain is not difficult for me, don't worry."
After saying that, Chen Jie had already raised his legs and climbed up the mountain.
Xiao Baihe stood there, looking at Chen Jie with a worried face, really afraid that Chen Jie would accidentally fall from the top.
The mountain is very steep. Chen Jie climbed for a long time before he reached the mountain god. When he walked in, Chen Jie found that there was not only an incense burner and a cauldron inside the mountain god, but also a world behind it.
"Lily, please wait for me downstairs for a while. I'll be back soon."
Chen Jie lifted his legs and climbed into the mountain god's cave. He stood up straight and saw the cave still some distance above his head. Chen Jie's psychology aroused curiosity.
Fortunately, he climbed up out of curiosity, otherwise he would have missed this place.
"Captain, hurry up, I'm scared."
Xiao Baihe didn't want Chen Jie to put himself in danger, so he had to lie and say that he would be scared.
"Okay, I'll be down soon."
Chen Jie responded, bypassed the mountain god, and walked inside.
Behind the mountain god, there was a stone door. Chen Jie fumbled for a long time before opening it. As soon as he opened the stone door, Chen Jie heard some strange noises and frowned. Chen Jie waited for two minutes before lifting his legs and walking in.
It's a bit dark inside, although there is sunlight, but as you go deeper, you can only rely on your feeling.
Suddenly there was a foreign object under his feet. Chen Jie stopped, bent down, and touched the ground. He unexpectedly touched a wine glass that looked quite old. Chen Jie took the wine glass and walked outside. Taking advantage of the sunshine, he looked
The wine glass was in hand.
It seems to be an object from the Spring and Autumn Period. The bronze wine cup is engraved with complex patterns and has some color fading around it.
"Captain, what are you doing?"
When Xiao Baihe saw Chen Jie's figure, she couldn't help but smell it loudly.
"Lily, look what this is."
Chen Jie raised the wine cup in his hand and showed it to Xiao Baihe.
Because the distance was too far, Xiao Baihe could only see a small cup.
"Is it used by humans to worship mountain gods?"
Xiao Baihe could only think of this explanation, and couldn't help but feel curious about the things in the mountain temple.
If she had known this, she might as well have followed Chen Jie up the mountain.
Chen Jie put the wine cup aside, turned around and walked in again. This time Chen Jie had already made some mental guesses, and his movements became slower, and he slowly groped inside.
It wasn't until he reached out and touched a box that Chen Jie stopped. He touched it carefully and found that there were all kinds of small bead-like things inside. They were strangely shaped and felt cold to the touch. Chen Jie's heart was moved.
Could this be a treasure?
Grabbing a handful, Chen Jie walked out. With the faint light, Chen Jie could see clearly what was inside. Sure enough, there were some jewelry.
How could such a large box of jewelry be hidden here?
Such a simple place can be easily discovered.
"Captain, what are you doing?"
Xiao Baihe saw Chen Jie's figure reappearing and asked.
"Nothing, here are some jewelry."
Chen Jie turned around, picked up the jewelry in his hand, and let Xiao Baihe admire it.
"Why is there jewelry?
Is there a tomb here too?”
Xiao Baihe subconsciously thought of ancient tombs, because only when humans are buried, they put their favorite jewelry in the coffin and bury it together.
"I don't know, I'll send it back first."
Chen Jie shrugged. He was not very curious about the treasures in his hands. He just wanted to find some practical things.
For example, boats, or weapons such as pistols.
When Xiao Baihe saw Chen Jie's figure walking behind the mountain god again, he couldn't help but frowned and felt anxious.
Chen Jie returned along the original path, put the things in his hands back into the box, and continued to explore.
After groping for a while, Chen Jie suddenly touched a cold stone, which felt like something in the shape of a foot. Chen Jie followed the foot and touched it upwards.
The more I touched it, the weirder it became, the shape looked a bit like a woman's thigh. When I touched it upward, I felt some fabric and slender jade fingers carved from stone.
Chen Jie took out the lighter in his pocket and lit it. Chen Jie was shocked by the stone statue in front of him. It turned out to be a statue of a fox fairy.
"Sorry for the intrusion, no offense intended, please forgive me."
Chen Jie paid obeisance to the fox fairy statue in front of him, becoming more and more curious about this place.
Boom boom boom
Chen Jie only felt a sway under his feet and heard the sound of the stone door opening. Chen Jie felt nervous and quickly took out the hand in his arms. His heart was in his throat.
Silence returned to the cave again. Chen Jie waited for a while and found nothing unusual. He took out the lighter again and lit it.
The weak firelight shone in front, and Chen Jie found that there was a stone door opened here. A cold wind blew over, and Chen Jie was a little hesitant to go in and take a look.
After all, this place is too evil. For the sake of his life safety, he should not go in.
But Chen Jie couldn't resist his psychological curiosity after all, so he slowly raised his feet and walked inside.
