Part 2 Longling Maze Chapter 18 Dragon Bone


I saw that I finally got out of the cave, and I was about to cheer, but I heard the fat man say that I had a "human face" on my back.

This nonsense sentence was like a bucket of biting ice water being poured down on my head.

My heart felt cold, and I hurriedly twisted my neck to look at my back.

Then I realized that I couldn't see, so I asked the fat man: "What the hell are you talking about?

I have a human face on my back, whose face is it?

Don't tell me."

Scare me, I’ve been having a nervous breakdown lately.”

The fat man pulled the big gold tooth, pointed at my back and said, "Why did I scare you?

Let Lao Jin take a look and see if what I said is true."

Da Jinya put Wen Xiangyu in his arms on the ground.

After staying in the dark cave for a long time, he could not see clearly, so he reached out and rubbed his eyes, stood behind me and looked at my back: " Well, Mr.

Hu, there is indeed a palm-sized patch on the two shoulder blades on your back, which is as blurry as a birthmark.

Is it a human face?

It seems more like an eye."

"Why do I have an eye on my back?"

My scalp exploded.

When I mentioned eyes, the first thing that came to my mind was that exquisite ancient city in the desert of Xinjiang.

The nightmare memories of that time were far worse than those I had on the battlefield.

The tragic memories are no different, generally terrible and sad.

I bent my arms and touched my back, but felt nothing.

I quickly asked Da Jinya to describe in detail what thing was growing on my back, whether it was a "face" or "eyes".

Da Jinya said to me: "It's just a circular dark red light mark.

You can't tell it unless you look carefully.

It's a circle, and it looks a bit like the layers of the pupils of the eyes.

Maybe what I said is not accurate.

It should be said that it looks like an eyeball, not like an eye, with no eyelids or eyelashes.”

I asked the fat man again: "Little fat man, didn't you just say it looks like a human face?

Why did Master Jin say it looked like eyeballs again?"

The fat man said behind me: "Old Hu, just now I was only thinking about the human face in the ghost tomb.

Suddenly I saw such a round mark on your back, and I mistakenly thought it was a face.

Now look carefully.

Come on, don’t tell me, this really looks like the eyeball shape we saw in Jingjue Ancient City.”

The more Fatty and Big Gold Tooth talked about me, the more flustered I became.

This was definitely not a birthmark.

Don’t I still know if I have a birthmark?

back.

At this time, Da Jinya suddenly shouted: "Fat Master, you also have the same birthmark as Master Hu on your back.

You two, please take a look at my back."

I looked at the big gold tooth and the fat man's back again, and found that there was a round dark red mark on the left side of the fat man's back.

It was indeed like a birthmark.

It was blurry and the lines were not clear.

It was about the size of an adult's hand.

It was large, somewhat like the shape of an eyeball, but it was not certain.

The dark red color, like blood congestion, looked particularly dazzling in the afterglow of the setting sun.

The back of the big gold tooth was smooth, with nothing except the worn areas.

Now Fatty and I were both dumbfounded.

This was definitely not a coincidence, and it seemed that it was not caused when we were with Da Jinya.

In all likelihood, it was related to the experience of going to the ghost cave in Xinjiang.

Could it be The survivors of our expedition were all cursed by the bottomless ghost cave.

I remember that we had just arrived in Gulan two days ago.

We were in danger in the Yellow River and were soaked to the skin.

When we arrived at the guest house, we went to take a hot bath together.

At that time, it seemed that no one had found such a strange red mark on their body, which meant that It just appeared in the past two days.

Could it be that some kind of virus was infected in the Longling Ancient Tomb?

But why didn't it appear on Big Jinya?

Is Big Jinya immune to this virus?

The fat man said to me: "Old Hu, don't think too much.

Just relax.

It's no big deal.

It doesn't hurt or itch.

When you go back to take a shower, find a bather and rub it hard.

Maybe it will be gone."

Yes.

We got a baby this time, so we should be happy.

Look, this place looks familiar to me."

As soon as I climbed out of the cave, I was told by the fat man that there was something strange growing on my back.

I was so panicked that I didn't care where the exit of the cave was.

I just remembered that the entrance to the cave was very narrow and was made of collapsed loess.

At this time, Hearing the fat man say that the area looked familiar, he looked up and couldn't help but laugh: "It turns out we've been wandering around for a long time, and it's a coincidence that we're back again."

It turns out that the exit we climbed out of Longling was the place where when we first arrived at the Fish Bone Temple, I climbed up the ridge to observe the Feng Shui situation nearby.

When I came down, I stepped on a piece of earth halfway up the mountain and almost sunk in. .

At that time, Fatty and Da Jinya heard the sound and came over and pulled me out of the earth shell.

The earth slope collapsed and turned into a hole.

We once looked inside and thought it was a gap in the mountain connected to the underground cave.

Now it seems that this place is actually connected to the large cave where the human-faced bronze tripod is enshrined.

After walking around the cave for a long time, we finally found it.

Climb out of the hole that you accidentally stepped on.

Our luggage and other belongings were placed at the Fish Bone Temple not far ahead.

The most important thing was to find clothes and put them on as soon as possible.

Otherwise, if we met a young girl and a young wife in this valley, the three of us would be treated as hooligans.

The dark red marks that suddenly appeared on our back cast a shadow over our victory.

We felt very unhappy.

We had to see a doctor first when we went back.

Although there was nothing strange about it, it was not the original product.

It just feels extra awkward on my body.

The wind was very strong in the ravine, so we carried the original Wenxiang Jade stone back to the Fish Bone Temple quickly without covering our bodies.

The things were still intact and hidden behind the Dragon King's altar.

The three of them each found their clothes and put them on.

They took out the white wine in their bags and drank a few sips.

Anyway, they finally got this piece of fragrant jade.

When they returned to Beijing, It's not a small amount to take action.

After eating and drinking to his heart's content, Big Gold Tooth stroked the original stone of Wen Xiang Yu.

He was so proud for a moment that he couldn't help but sing: "I'm not a bandit or a bandit, and I'm not a gangster stealing the city.

It doesn't matter whether I'm a king or a clown.

I have a sword.

Can withstand millions of soldiers" Although I felt a little bit happy about making a fortune, when I thought of the red traces on my back, I lost my interest and just drank in silence.

Seeing this, Da Jinya persuaded me: "Master Hu, you are also an open-minded person.

Don't take this matter to heart.

Go back to the hospital for a check-up.

If you really don't want to do surgery to cut off this piece of skin, it's good that it's not very serious."

It’s big, it doesn’t look deep, so it won’t be a big problem.

It’s best to see a Chinese medicine doctor first, and maybe it will go away after taking two doses of medicine.”

The fat man said to Big Gold Tooth: "This is not a skin disease for either of us.

What's the use of looking for a doctor?

If we look for a doctor, we might as well burn it off ourselves with a cigarette butt."

I said to Fatty and Big Gold Tooth: "Forget it, it's all about love.

Anyway, I'm not dead today.

Let's have a good drink first and we'll talk about tomorrow."

The fat man touched the wine bottle to me, raised his neck, and drank the remaining half of the bottle in one breath: "We have just made a fortune, so we have to be careful about this life.

We hope to enjoy it for the rest of our lives." ”

After eating and drinking, it was already dark.

We returned to the village at the foot of Panshe Slope overnight and stayed overnight in the village.

We returned to Gulan the next day and prepared to cross the Yellow River to the north, but we were told that we had to go upstream in the past two days.

It rains heavily, and the water in this section of the Yellow River is too strong.

It will take a ferry the day after tomorrow at the earliest to allow boating.

We discussed that if we were to find a boat at another ferry, it would take at least a day's journey to get there, so we might as well stay in Gulan County for two days to take the opportunity to rest and wander around the county.

You can also pick up some leaks and collect a few clear items.

So we still stayed in the same guest house as last time, but this time the guest house was almost full, and many people were waiting to cross the river.

Gulan is a small place with only two or three guest houses and hotels.

We had no choice but to stay in a bunkhouse on the first floor.

The main bunk can sleep eight people.

After the three of us went there, a total of five people slept, and there were still three empty seats.

We were not sure about storing something as valuable as Wen Xiangyu on the cabinet, so we had to have three floors inside and three floors outside.

She was wrapped up, and she took turns watching her in the room, and hugged her when she went out.

That night, Fatty and Da Jinya were watching Wen Xiangyu in the room.

I went to the bathroom in the backyard of the guest house to take a shower, and happened to meet Old Liu, who had drank with us.

I said hello to him, said a few polite words, and asked him if there were any famous Chinese medicine doctors in Gulan County and if they could treat skin diseases.

Old man Liu said that there was an old Chinese medicine doctor who had excellent medical skills and was very good at treating psoriasis with rejuvenating medicine.

He then asked me with concern whether I was sick or what was wrong with me.

I was going to take a shower.

I was only wearing a shirt, so I unbuttoned two buttons and asked Old Man Liu to look at my back.

He said that I had a scabies on my back and wanted to see a doctor.

After seeing it, Old Man Liu was shocked and said to me: "Brother, how did you get this?

I don't think it's a skin disease.

It's a red mark like congestion.

The shape is very similar to a word, and I can also see this word."

Pass."

I asked: "What is this word behind me?

Can you see what word it is?"

Old man Liu said: "It was in the 1980s when a primary school was being rebuilt in our county.

When the foundation was being laid, the bones of some strange animals were dug out.

They were looted by the people at that time.

Then the archaeological team came and announced through the county radio , they collected all the bones.

The archaeological team experts stayed in our guest house.

When they were collecting them, I saw this word on the bone armor more than once. " After hearing this, I no longer had the intention to take a shower, so I took Old Liu to the cafeteria of the guest house, found a quiet corner to sit down, and asked him to tell me what happened in detail.

The marks on my back vary in color, and the outline and layers are very much like an eyeball.

The shape is very similar to the jade eye I broke in the ancient city of Jingjue.

I have always been worried that this is some kind of curse.

Maybe not only Fatty and I, but also Professor Chen and Shiry Yang in the United States will also suffer from this symptom.

At this time, I heard Old Man Liu say that this was not an eyeball, but a word.

I was not in a hurry, so I took out a cigarette and lit one for Old Man Liu.

At this time, the cafeteria of the guest house had been closed for get off work, and Old Man Liu had nothing to do, so he told the story of the incident.

In fact, it happened not long ago, less than three years ago, when experts from the archaeological team lived in this guest house in Gulan County and counted and sorted out the recovered bones.

The local leaders also attached great importance to this matter and sealed the guest house.

Except for staff and idlers, no one was allowed to enter.

Old Liu, who works in the canteen of the guest house, is a good person.

He usually cooks for the members of the archaeological team.

When he has nothing to do, he just watches the fun and helps others when they are working.

The experts on the archaeological team all ate the food he cooked and got to know him.

They knew that this old man was a warm-hearted person.

Sometimes they would turn a blind eye to him for the sake of face.

As long as he didn't steal anything or make trouble, he would let him watch if he wanted to.

He looks at it.

This archaeological work recovered a large number of tortoise shells and some unknown animal bones.

Each piece of bone armor was engraved with a large number of words and symbols, but most of them were damaged and the ones collected were incomplete, which required a lot of effort. of labor and time to repair.

However, among the many broken bone armors, there was a huge tortoise shell that was the most complete.

This tortoise shell was as big as a table of the Eight Immortals.

When the archaeologists were cleaning the tortoise shell with a mixed solution of glacial acetic acid, Old Man Liu happened to see it.

The symbol that appears most often above is a symbol that looks like an eyeball.

Old Man Liu didn't know anyone else, but he thought this symbol was very eye-catching.

He knew it was an eyeball at a glance, so he asked the archaeological team member who was doing the sorting work if this symbol represented an eyeball.

The archaeological team member told him: "No. , this is an ancient text similar to oracle bone inscriptions, not eyeballs."

Before he finished speaking, he was stopped by the leader of the working group, a professor named Sun.

Old Liu clearly remembered that Professor Sun warned the archaeological team member that these were state secrets and must not be disclosed to anyone.

Old man Liu thought to himself that I am just a cook, so I don’t care about your state secrets, so I stopped asking about them.

But the more he thought about it, the more curious he became.

What could be there from thousands of years ago that is still hidden from the outside world?

I'm wondering whether the state secrets mentioned are a bluff, but since they have to abide by the confidentiality regulations, you are not welcome to ask more, just don't ask.

But ever since the big tortoise shell was taken back, our guest house has been experiencing fires and troubles every day, making everyone uneasy.

A few days later, the archaeological team saw that they had almost collected the bone armor, and felt that there was a greater fire risk here, so they packed up and left.

They packed all the bone armor in large wooden boxes, enough to fill a car.

Big truck.

What happened later turned out to be evil.

It is said that they wanted to fly him back to Beijing, but the military plane crashed on the way, and everything, including the bone armor with inscriptions on it, was burned.

Of the entire fifteen-member archaeological working group, only Professor Sun survived.

He forgot his work manual at the county guest house and hurried back to get his work notes, so he missed the plane.

When Professor Sun heard the news of the plane crash in Gulan County, he sat on the ground and couldn't get up.

It was I and several colleagues who took him to the health center.

It can be said that I was half his savior.

Later, whenever Professor Sun came to work near Gulan, he would come to see me and have a drink with me.

But when I asked him what the words on the bone armor meant, Professor Sun avoided answering.

He just advised me.

I said those words were symbols of danger and evil, and it was better not to know them.

It would be best not to inquire about them in the future, since they were all destroyed anyway.

Then every time he sighed and said that he wished he had never seen those words in his life.

This is not the same thing that made me think of those terrible words when I saw this red spot on your back today.

This is not a skin disease.

How did you get it?

When I heard this, I couldn't help but ask Old Man Liu: "Master Liu, you don't even know what the word co-author means."

Old man Liu laughed and said to me in a mysterious manner: "Brother, I only know that this is an ancient word.

I really don't know what it means.

But someone knows.

It's better to come early than to come by chance.

That Professor Sun is just right now Living upstairs from you, he comes to Gulan to work for a period of time every year, doesn’t that make you catch up?”

I held Old Liu's hand and said impatiently: "Master Liu, you are really a living Bodhisattva.

You save people to the end and send Buddhas to the West.

You must introduce me to Professor Sun."

Old man Liu patted his chest and said, "There will be no problem with the introduction, but the old boy named Sun is very strict.

Whether he is willing to tell you or not depends on how you tell him.

You have this thing on your back."

Kuai Ban is so special, maybe he can tell you."

I asked Old Man Liu to wait for me in the cafeteria for a while while I prepared, and then we went with him to visit Professor Sun who lived on the second floor of the guest house.

I first went back to the room and told the big gold tooth and the fat man what had happened.

The fat man stayed in the room and continued to guard the original Wenxiang Jade stone.

I asked Da Jinya to go with me.

He has been in business for many years and is far more experienced in speaking and dealing with social activities than I am.

The two of us changed our clothes and went to the guest house cafeteria to find Old Man Liu.

I said to Old Man Liu: "Master Liu, it's not appropriate for us to go empty-handed, but it's not too early now and we don't want to buy some snacks and fruits." easy" Old Man Liu said: "No need, just look at my face.

But aren't you just throwing away antiques?

Remember, don't mention this matter in front of Professor Sun.

He has a bad temper and doesn't like your profession the most." of."

Da Jinya and I immediately said that we would never mention this matter and just made up a lie and said that we were on a business trip to Gulan.

Since we had a red spot on our back that looked like an oracle bone inscription, we heard that Professor Sun knew about oracle bone inscriptions, so we took the liberty to ask for advice.

Take a look to see if this is a skin disease or something else.

After the three people had reached an agreement, Old Man Liu took him to the second floor and knocked on Professor Sun's door.

After explaining our purpose, Professor Sun invited us into the room.

Professor Sun is nearly sixty years old.

He is a skinny old man with dark skin and a somewhat hunchback.

This is probably due to the fact that he has been squatting and working in Tanfang for many years.

Professor Sun's face was covered with wrinkles, and his hair was severely bald, with only a sparse ring around it.

He was reluctant to shave it off and combed it into a one-sided spiral.

Although he looks old, he has sharp eyes and does not wear glasses.

Apart from his hairstyle, he is no different from a farmer who works in the fields all year round.

Compared with the Professor Chen I know, although they are both professors, they are not the same type and are very different.

Professor Chen is a typical academic, the kind of gentle professor who sits in an office; and this professor surnamed Sun is probably a pragmatic person who has been practicing on the front line for a long time.

Professor Sun listened to my story and looked at the bruises on my back for a long time.

He kept saying it was strange.

I asked Professor Sun what the thing was on my back and whether it was life-threatening.

Professor Sun said: "This is indeed very much like a symbol.

Among the bone armors unearthed in Gulan in the past two years, the most complete and largest pair of tortoise shells has 112 characters engraved on it, which looks like oracle bone inscriptions, but it is not oracle bone inscriptions.

This symbol that resembles an eyeball appears seven times in the 112 characters.”

Although Old Man Liu and I came to visit Professor Sun, we were seeking medical treatment because we were ill.

I was half-believed in what Old Man Liu said.

But when I saw Professor Sun saying that the shape of this red spot looked like ancient writing, I quickly asked Professor Sun whether this was a What word.

Professor Sun shook his head and said: "The red marks on your skin are just similar to the unearthed ancient inscriptions, but they have absolutely nothing to do with them.

Those cultural relics were all destroyed when the plane crashed two years ago.

There are many coincidences in this world, and some beans can grow to resemble human heads, but there is no connection between beans and human heads other than similarity.”

Da Jinya and I talked over and over again and said all kinds of good things.

I just wanted to ask what the ancient texts engraved on the tortoise shells were.

As long as I knew the details and whether there was any connection between them, I would know in my mind. .

Professor Sun just refused to say a word more.

In the end, he ordered us to be kicked out: "Don't pretend to be in front of me.

You two smell like earth.

I work at the grassroots level all the year round.

I can tell you two with my eyes closed."

What do you do?

There are only three types of people with this taste.

One is a farmer, and the other two are either grave robbers or antique resellers.

To be honest, I don’t think you are farmers, and I don’t have any good impression of you now.

I don't know where you got this from The words are disguised as red spots on my body, trying to trick me.

I advise you not to dream.

I will only say the last two words to you.

First, you should not make trouble unreasonably.

The information about these ancient characters is a state secret and cannot be used by ordinary people.

No one has the right to know.

Second, I would like to give you some personal advice.

Do not try to get close to the information in these words.

This is a secret that must not be leaked.

Otherwise, anyone who has anything to do with this writing will cause disaster
