The three of them walked slowly to the giant hand silently.
Here's a closer look.
I saw that this giant hand, which was pressed down by a pile of rubble, was really lifelike... The whole thing was truly a work of wonder.
So, because of this realism... Suddenly, Wu Xie's brows frowned even more tightly and wrinkled into a ball. At the same time, his breathing became obviously much heavier.
Ding Ze noticed it, exhaled a puff of smoke, and then moved his eyes, too lazy to look at the giant hand in front of him... which made him feel a little uncomfortable, and turned to look upward.
At this time, Lao Itch, who was an excellent actor, also raised his head and pretended to look up. Then, there was a voice, "Old Wu, this----this giant hand, and this---these
The rubble seems to have fallen from ---- from above, could there be ---- an ancient tomb on it?"
When Wu Xie heard this, he frowned and looked up, "It's hard to say. From here, we can only see that there is a place on top where the rocks seem to be very loose. We can't see more clearly. We have to go up to know if there are ancient rocks."
tomb."
"Then don't--stop the ink stains, go up quickly," Lao Itch said, taking the lead to move, and started to climb up the irregular cliff with considerable agility.
Seeing this, Wu Xie blinked his eyes, turned to look at Ding Ze, and said nothing.
Ding Ze roughly guessed what Wu Xie meant when he looked at him, so he nodded gently, "Let's go up and have a look too."
….
The cliff has a certain slope, and there are many protruding rocks on it.
Therefore, it is not difficult to climb up.
Ten minutes later.
Lao Chu was the first to crawl to the area where the rocks were very loose and he had just looked up from the ground of Jiazi Valley.
"Holy shit!" Lao Chi screamed when he crawled to the spot.
Wu Xie, who was climbing up, heard this and asked anxiously, "What's going on? What's up there?"
Old Itch: "A huge bust, come up quickly!"
Hear the words.
Wu Xie immediately gritted his teeth and speeded up, and after a while, he successfully reached Lao Itch's side.
When Ding Ze, who was crawling at the end, saw this, he decisively stopped pretending. He moved quickly, and in less than five seconds, he followed closely and stood next to Wu Xie and Wu Xie. Together with Wu Xie, they looked at the bust in front of them.
.
Only seen.
As described in the original work, this huge bust was carved from the mountain.
The bust has been blown up from its chest to its head...and now only one hand and half a shoulder are left.
Then, it is exactly the same as the giant hand on the ground in Jiazigou. The remaining hand and half of the shoulder look extremely lifelike, and can almost be said to be carved according to the appearance of a real person...
Watched it for a while.
Wu Xie broke the silence maintained by the three of them and said, "Looking at the carving style of this bust, the person who originally carved it obviously didn't want it to be something that requires artistic exaggeration like a Buddha statue."
Ding Ze thought for a while, "This thing looks no different from a real person. It may be possible that it was originally carved according to the appearance of a certain person..."
After a deliberate pause, Ding Ze raised his wrist and glanced at the time.
The time shows that it is now 3:50 pm.
"Lao Itch," Ding Ze asked after confirming the time, "The valley you mentioned where you dug up the bronze trees three years ago should be not far from here."
Lao Itch nodded, "It shouldn't be --- it's not far."
"Well, that's right. This bust might have been carved by people from the ancient She Kingdom... The place we are in now seems to have fallen within the scope of the ancient She Kingdom."
"Maybe the real person this bust corresponds to is the king of the ancient She Kingdom or something like that."
"Then, the Jiazi Valley below was a main road leading to the ancient She Kingdom."
Ding Ze said this in one breath.
After hearing this, Wu Xie was silent for a moment, "It's possible...but..."
Wu Xie said and suddenly asked Lao Itch, "Lao Itch, the dou you poured in the small valley in front of Jiazi Valley three years ago was from the Qing Dynasty?"
Lao Itch was stunned and scratched his head, "That bucket should be from the Qing Dynasty... The things I dug up are all from the Qing Dynasty."
Wu Xie raised his eyebrows, "There is nothing good in the Qing Dynasty's bucket..."
After saying this, Wu Xie turned his head and looked at the bust in front of him again. Then, he raised his feet and walked towards the collapsed part of the statue, while taking out a flashlight.
Where the bust collapsed, there was a gap that was not too big or too small for an adult to squeeze through.
Wu Xie walked to the gap, turned on the flashlight, and looked inside, "The space inside is very large. There is probably a hollow area inside the mountain. I guess there might be an ancient building inside."
tomb."
"Although judging from the way this statue was blown up, the ancient tomb inside must have been visited by experts. I guess there may not be anything good in it..."
Wu Xie talked for a while and then asked Lao Itch, "Lao Itch, what do you say, do you want to go in and have a look, or continue to move forward to that small valley?"
------------------
Words spread.
Ding Ze smiled silently. He could guess and was sure that the reason why Wu Xie asked about the Qing Dynasty tomb was because Wu Xie had already suspected that Lao Itch's initial statement about the Qing Dynasty tomb was to lie to him...
Then, because of this suspicion, Wu Xie asked Lao Itch to decide what to do, which was to test Lao Itch, in order to see if Lao Itch planned to enter the space behind the bust from the beginning.
'The future evil emperor is growing up little by little...'
'Unfortunately, for now, this kind of scheming is still not enough to see in front of Lao Chu.'
Ding Ze couldn't help feeling a little emotional.
After sighing, Ding Ze looked at Lao Itchi who was showing off his acting skills and thinking.
Lao Itch didn't think for long, "Old Wu, I--I heard that the tombs of the Tang Dynasty were generally--built in the mountains--in the mountains."
"If it's a Tang Tomb inside, then I--we just need to pick up a few things, and that's enough!"
"I think--I think, let's go in and take a look. If there's really--no treasure inside, we can just exit. It's not a waste of time.
"
What he said is reasonable and well-founded.
Wu Xie couldn't refute, "Then go in and take a look. The gap is not big. You are thinner than me. Why don't you go in first."
"Okay," Lao Itch responded readily, without any ink stains, and moved decisively, slipping into the gap and entering the space behind the bust.
"Old Wu, hand me the flashlight. The gap is a bit high. Let me see what's underneath."
After getting through the gap, Lao Itch grabbed the edge of the gap, steadied himself, and shouted at Wu Xie.
Wu Xie didn't waste any time and quickly handed over the flashlight.
Lao Itch took the flashlight and looked down, "Damn it, it's all green --- green water down there!"
When Wu Xie heard this, he put his head in and looked at it with the help of a flashlight. "This water should have flowed in when it rained..."
"It seems that the water is quite deep. This is going to be troublesome. We don't have any equipment that can work in the water. Otherwise, forget it."
Wu Xie's sincere tone persuaded Lao Itch to give up.
‘Looking at it this way, the story about the sacred tree in the Qinling Mountains really improved Wu Xie quite a lot.’
Standing behind Wu Xie, he could tell that Wu Xie was testing the old itch again, Ding Ze thought with a grin.
