The four people widened their eyes and watched quietly.
I saw, in the swirling billowing black smoke, a huge statue covered with roots, obviously deliberately buried under the tree, rising little by little.
Finally, the statue stopped.
However, because the black smoke was still filling crazily, the four of them still couldn't see clearly from where they were at this moment, and could only vaguely make out a rough outline.
Hu Bayi stared at it for a while and then said, "This seems to be a stone turtle. Judging from the size, I estimate it must be at least several thousand kilograms."
Hearing the sound, the fat man spoke, "Bi Xi? Is that the mythical beast that likes to carry monuments?"
Hu Ba nodded, "Well, look at its back, first there is a cloud base, and the thing erected on the cloud base is the stone tablet."
The fat man looked at it, his eyes rolling, "It looks like that's what happened...Old Hu, this thing has been buried underground for at least two thousand years, so it must be considered a cultural relic. If you pull it back,
Is it worth some money?”
Hu Bayi: “o((⊙﹏⊙))o????”
"Fat man, how the hell are you going to pull this thing back?" Hu Bayi retorted, with a very clear, funny and angry tone in his tone, "Besides, this thing is so big, how can you pull it back and sell it?"
Who can give it to, and whose family can afford this thing?"
The fat man grinned and replied, "As long as it's valuable, I'll find a way to pull it back... As for who can afford this thing..."
"Lao Hu, I knew you were bragging when you said your ancestors were from a wealthy family."
"What era are we in now? Some rich people now live in mansions with thousands of square meters, gardens and swimming pools."
"Can you still make room for this thing?"
"If you don't believe it, ask Ms. Yang. Her house in the United States has a messy front yard and backyard. That's a big mess!"
"If you walk in from the front door in the morning, you have to wait until noon or even at night to get to the back door!"
"The uncle who guards the front door and the aunt who guards the back door are friends. They can only meet once a day..."
"Lao Hu, I think your ancestor was only a small landowner at most. Don't brag about it in the future, lest people laugh at it."
The fat man spoke in a serious tone, as if what he said was true.
Hu Bayi heard...
I don't know if it's the fat man's tone of voice...
In short, Hu Bayi was really frightened. He was stunned for a few seconds. When he came to his senses, he turned to Shirley Yang and asked, "Ms. Yang, is your house really that big?"
Shirley Yang: “╮(╯▽╰)╭!!!”
Shirley Yang looked at Hu Bayi, with an extremely clear look of helplessness on her face.
At this time, the fat man took the lead and said, "Old Hu, how can this be false? Miss Yang has been fighting upside down for generations and touched the magic weapon. She has touched many treasures for generations..."
"stop!!"
In the end, Shirley Yang couldn't stand it any longer, so she forcibly interrupted the fat man's nonsense.
"Fat man, can you please stop talking nonsense? How come my family is so big, and my ancestors didn't fight head-on for obvious reasons!"
After scolding the fat man, Shirley Yang turned to Hu Bayi and said, "Lao Hu, you are the same way. You believe whatever the fat man says. Why didn't I see that you are so naive before?"
Hu Bayi: “￣□￣｜｜!!!”
Hu Bayi was embarrassed for a while, and the word "embarrassment" was written on his face instantly.
The fat man saw this and smiled. He was thick-skinned and didn't care at all. He smiled and said, "Miss Yang, this guy Lao Hu has many secrets that you probably don't know. How about we discuss it and wait until the ceremony is over?"
King's Tomb, I'll touch my bright weapon, don't be nagging, and I'll tell you all Lao Hu's secrets, how about that?"
Hu Bayi: “(ΩДΩ)!!!”
Shirley Yang: "(#￣～￣#)!!!"
Watching the show and seeing Ding Ze now: "..."
Haha, fat man, you are so damn talented.
With a silent laugh, Ding Ze moved his eyes and looked at Shirley Yang.
At this moment, he really felt that Shirley Yang was going crazy.
-------------------
This is indeed the case.
Shirley Yang almost ran away. She was so angry that her chest heaved.
Of course, Shirley Yang did not run away in the end. She only glared at the fat man, then turned her head and looked back at the statue where the black smoke finally began to dissipate.
"You two, please stop making trouble? I beg you."
Shirley Yang said helplessly, and then continued, "Let's get down to business, this statue should not be Bixi, but a jiaotu."
When the fat man heard this, he must have been very happy. In the excitement, he immediately answered the conversation and joked, "Jiaotu? I have only heard of salt and pepper, is it the same thing?"
Shirley Yang: “…”
When the words came into his ears, he saw that the corners of Shirley Yang's eyes and mouth were twitching. When Hu Ba paused, he naturally spoke hurriedly to stop the fat man's incoherence.
Naturally, in this kind of behavior, if you want to save some image or face in front of Shirley Yang, it should not be too obvious.
"Fat man, stop talking nonsense. Dragons give birth to nine sons, and Bixi is one of them, as is Jiao Tu."
After saying that, Hu Bayi turned to Shirley Yang, "However, Miss Yang, as far as I know, Jiao Tu does not carry a stele. It mainly guards the door and guards against evil spirits."
Shirley Yang nodded, "You are right, but take a closer look at the claws of this statue and the teeth in its mouth."
Shirley Yang pointed at the Jiao Tu statue, "Both the claws and the teeth are very sharp and sharp, which is consistent with the characteristics of Jiao Tu."
"Moreover, this statue adopts the round carving technique, and the overall shape is relatively rounded, which is more in line with the image of Jiao Tu."
When Hu Ba heard it, he didn't say anything immediately. He looked at it carefully for a while and said, "What you said is true. But apart from these features, the overall appearance of this statue still looks very much like a turtle, especially the turtle's back.
That stone tablet."
Shirley Yang: "Well, I guess this is the result of the regional cultural differences between the ancient Dian Kingdom and the mainland."
After speaking, Shirley Yang took out the photo given by Professor Sun from her backpack, "Look in the photo, among the six beasts that offer sacrifices to the king and heaven and earth, there is a picture of a pepper, which is almost the same as this statue."
Hu Bayi saw it and said, "That's strange. If this statue is a jiaotu, why does it carry a stele?"
Hear this.
Ding Ze smiled, seized the opportunity, and interjected, "Old Hu, I seemed to have said just now that this statue is used to hold the mausoleum."
"Then guess what that stone tablet is?"
When Hu Ba heard this, he was suddenly startled, and then his face darkened: "￣□￣｜｜!!!"
Embarrassing 2!
The meaning of losing face is immediately clear and obvious.
"Lingpu..." Hu Bayi responded awkwardly.
Ding Ze smiled, "Old Hu, there is an old saying, those who are close to the vermillion are red and those who are close to the ink are black. Do you understand what I am saying?"
Hu Bayi: "...I understand."
Hu Bayi responded and subconsciously turned to look at the fat man smoking next to him.
The fat man saw it: "??????"
His eyes rolled around like this.
"(??へ??╬)!!! Damn it!! Old Hu, what are you looking at me doing?"
"And Lao Ding, why do I feel like you are scolding me?"
