348 Chapter 348 The Man in the Stone
Wu Xie and Fatty looked at each other, and Wu Xie said, "Have the things he wrote on it been dug out?"

I frowned slightly and looked at my little brother. He was deep in thought. I called him in a low voice: "Brother, brother."

He looked at me slowly, knowing that I had something to say, so he stretched out his ear. I got close to his ear, not daring to open my mouth too much, and said to him in a very low voice: "Those things are native to the rocks. ? Or as long as you enter the rock wall, you will be affected by something and mutate into that? Maybe both?
The words on the ground mean that there are as many of the things marked above around this hole. In that case, our situation will be even worse, right? "The little brother didn't speak. He looked at the rock wall in front of him and took a deep breath.

Wu Xie walked back to the shrine, gathered the incense ashes on the ground and put them back into the incense burner. He took them to the rock wall just now, grabbed a handful of ashes and smeared it on the rock wall. He smeared it in circles. At first, he couldn't see anything on the rock wall, but after he smeared it a few times, lines like the outline of something appeared on it.

The fat man said in surprise: "Huh? How did you know?"

Wu Xie continued to smear and said: "That kind of message is too vague. It should be a summary of the last message, so I think it will definitely leave a mark on the rock surface."

Soon, an irregular polygonal outline appeared on the stone. Wu Xie took off his powerful search light and turned it on to look at the lines.

I looked at it and said, "Is this a picture? Or is it a mark?"

Wu Xie said: "They are all straight and short lines. They feel like a rough draft of something. The outlines are obvious, and the outline looks like the general shape of the object. However, it seems that there is no trace of the veins of the rock. The outlines are related shapes, more like random drawings on the rock wall, perhaps used as a reference when cutting.

In other words, there must be something in this rock wall, otherwise, this outline cannot be carved here. It seems that they want to dig out the things here, so they made a rough mark, but why can't they see it?Is it the wrong method?
Alas, do any of you know what special process they go through when mining jade? "

The fat man shook his head and said, "Didn't you use explosives?"

I made a questioning "Ah" and said, "Use explosives? It's all destroyed and will be broken into pieces. Wouldn't it be better if the jade material is larger?"

The little brother said: "First burn it with fire, and then pour cold water on it to make the stone crack naturally."

After hearing this, Wu Xie immediately said: "Splash with water? Let's go! Go get water!" After that, he rushed to the hole on the other side to get water.

Although I know that we really have no other choice but to do this now, I feel very uneasy and chill from the bottom of my heart. I feel that my body is getting colder and colder. The tips of my hands, feet and nose are already extremely cold. I get close to the little brother and touch him. She shrank close to him to keep warm.

Wu Xie used the diving suit he took off to tie a knot on his trousers, then filled it with water and carried it back and said: "Fat man, come and help me."

Fatty: "Okay, come on, let's go!" He grabbed the water bag and poured it on the rock wall. Hearing the sound of water "plop, plop, plop", they poured it more than ten times in a row. The water seeped into the rock and the color changed. It started to get deeper and we all stepped back to look at the water-splashed rock surface.

Wu Xie looked at the nearby stones and said: "It turns out that these stones are also jade. When the water was poured, the jade veins looked blurry, but the other parts were much smoother and more transparent. However, because of the different content, they were The dark green jade looks like an ordinary rock, but look, what is that inside the rock wall?"

I saw a looming shadow emerging from the rock wall. The fat man narrowed his eyes and said, "It seems... it seems to be a person?"

Wu Xie also looked at the shadow intently and said, "How could it be a human? If it is a human, how did he get into this rock wall?"

The fat man looked at Wu Xie and asked tremblingly: "Have you ever heard of the legend of the fish in the stone?"

Wu Xie said nothing, and I said: "The fish in the stone you mentioned is a legend about a complete mountain stone. After someone opened it, it was found that the stone was hollow inside. Not only was there water, but there was also a living fish in the water. Zhiguai The one that appears in the novel.”

The fat man nodded and said, "Yes, yes, that's it."

I continued: "Do you think this figure is the same as the fish? No one knows how he got into the stone. Are you still thinking that this thing is probably alive and how he survived in it? , do you think the shadow and the fish are in the same situation?"

The fat man swallowed and nodded and said, "It is said that this phenomenon is often considered a miracle. There is fish in the stone. Since it does not come in from the outside, it is produced by the stone itself. It is said that eating this kind of stone fish can lead to immortality." , but some people say that eating it will kill you immediately.”

Wu Xie immediately said: "Of course I know the legend, but that's impossible."

I looked at the shadow and felt very bad. I didn't dare to look carefully. I turned around and said to them, "The story of the fish in the stone sounds quite magical, but it's actually not bad."

Some things require the right time, place and people, the natural environment permits, and when there happens to be a rare opportunity for formation, this kind of "fish in the stone" situation may actually exist.

For example, during a volcanic eruption, a large amount of magma will flow into the cold sea water. When the magma is cooled, it will instantly solidify into a solid. This is the process of formation of basalt.

During this formation process, the magma may be affected by the surrounding ocean currents and temperatures, condense into a bowl shape, and then sink to the bottom of the sea. During the next geological change, if a fish happens to swim across it, and there happens to be A new wave of magma flows down, sealing the fish in the bowl-shaped basalt with just one inch, thus forming a "fish in the stone".

As for eating it, I think it's best not to take risks. From ancient times to the present, greedy people who blindly pursue immortality seem to often eat bad things and die earlier. "

The fat man said: "Anyway, although this kind of situation is rare, it will still exist, right? Then since there can be fish in the stone, why can't there be people?"

Wu Xie took a breath and said, "You...", looking at the figure in the stone, he shook his head and said, "Impossible, this must be just a shadow that looks like a person."

The fat man said: "Isn't it true? If you keep splashing, you will know that there is more than one thing written on the ground."

When I heard this, I was a little surprised and said, "Ah, even splashing water..."

The little brother knew that I was scared, but he had to see clearly, so he reached out and patted my shoulder gently. I pouted and nodded helplessly.

We immediately repeated our same trick, and soon the four walls were filled with water. As all the rocks were soaked, we saw a creepy sight in the nearby rocks. There were actually many things embedded in the rocks. There are shadows of human figures showing various movements.I held my brother's arm with my cold hands, turned my face completely towards his body, and rested my head on him, trembling so hard that I didn't dare to look around.

Wu Xie and Fatty counted the number of figures that appeared, and they found that they were exactly the same as those recorded on the ground.

The fat man sat down again and said: "What a ghost! No wonder Secretary Lei needs to take action. What the hell is going on?"

Wu Xie thought for a while and said: "Is it a Kunlun fetus? Isn't it said that heaven and earth give birth to sperm? Could it be that this is a treasure cave where jade became humanized under some mysterious power?"

The fat man shook his head: "Kunlun Titus is just a legend after all, and it is said that they are all very large mountains. These shadows have weird shapes. I don't think they are a good thing, and..." He looked at the shelf with the iron figurines lying on one side and said: "I may have made a mistake just now. Look at the movements of these shadows. Do they look very similar to those of the iron figurines?"

Wu Xie was so surprised that he couldn't speak, the fat man then turned pale and said, "I know this is scary, but I saw that the tools here are all made of cast iron, so I suddenly thought of this possibility."

Wu Xie looked at the figures and asked him: "You mean, these iron figurines are not transportation tools, but are used to seal the shadows they dug out?"

The fat man shook his head slightly and corrected: "I'm afraid it's more than that. These iron figurines are probably what they have processed. They may have drilled holes in the rock wall first, and then filled them with iron slurry to freeze the people inside. Then smash it out at the end.”

Wu Xie said: "The iron warriors are all sealed figures?" He forced a smile and said: "But these are just our speculations." What he said was very unconfident. He probably remembered what he saw in the basement of the ancient building. There are an astonishing number of iron figurines.

The fat man looked extremely pale, and he added: "Actually, there is a way, which is to smash this stone now and see what the shadow inside is." As he said that, he pointed to the masonry hammer on the side.

As soon as I heard that they were trying to get that thing out, I gasped and got into the little brother's arms.

Wu Xie touched the rock wall in front of him and said: "But this is very thick and not easy to crack. In the old legends about suppressing monsters, didn't they always say in ancient times that God suppresses monsters and likes to suppress monsters under the mountain?
Holy shit!Are these shadows monsters?If so, if we release them, wouldn't we be seeking death?
The previous craftsmen used such laborious methods to deal with it. It is obvious that the true form of these figures is very scary and ominous, even very dangerous. I think it is better not to move. "

When the fat man heard what Wu Xie said, he turned his head to the little brother, as if asking for his opinion.

The little brother was staring at those shadows without answering him. After being stunned for a moment, he said: "We are...actually the same as them."

Wu Xie listened to his words: "You mean we are in the same situation as the figures in these rocks? It's just that their space is smaller and they are trapped in the rocks, just like those strange fish living in the rocks, but it can Definitely, if we are discovered a few years later, we will definitely not be alive and kicking. It will still be somewhat different. At least we have such a large space for activities now, and we are still alive. There are endless possibilities when we are alive."

The younger brother said calmly: "That's not what I meant."

Wu Xie said "Ah" and seemed a little surprised and asked: "Do you have any ideas? Just say it!"

The little brother hugged me who was scared, rubbed his little head, looked at Wu Xie and said, "Have you ever thought about where we would be now if such a mine hadn't been dug out here?"

At that time, Wu Xie felt that his brain was a little slow and he didn't understand what the little brother meant. However, the fat man immediately reacted and cursed: "Fuck!"

I said: "What my brother means is that if this is not a mine, then this place will be solid rocks. If we appear here in the same way, then we will be exactly the same as those shadows, embedded in the rocks." Inside the wall."

Wu Xie understood and said: "In that case, we came here inexplicably, and when we woke up we found ourselves embedded in the rock wall deep in the mountain, unable to move. We must do this until we die..."

The younger brother said: "If you think about it the other way around, maybe it's a complete coincidence that we are alive now."

Wu Xie nodded silently, and then said: "So, that means this strange thing may be a mysterious phenomenon in the mountain, and it may not be the first time it has happened in the mountain. Even if no one was digging a mine here, the same thing would happen. , and our current situation will be even more incredible."

The fat man swallowed, looked at the figures and said, "So, these are our seniors? Are they victims of the same thing before?"

The little brother said: "This is only a possibility, but I would rather believe that it is."

My brother's words made me feel nervous. His words actually answered the question I asked him before, but he said "I would rather believe it." It was obvious that there was another meaning behind his words. He must have remembered something. He remembered what he said. Due to the danger, my body unconsciously shrank tighter.

Wu Xie said: "If this is a strange natural phenomenon, then my previous inference may be wrong, but no matter how unfavorable our situation is, at least it is safe for the time being."

The fat man asked: "Innocent, you have read a lot of books. Can you guess what this might be? If it is like what the little brother said, what might it be?"

Wu Xie smiled and said: "It's useless to read more books about this kind of thing. You have to explain it with what you can learn from reading, which is the concept of physics. We may have fallen into the gap between two spaces. The child is stuffed here from one place. But in reality, this is impossible. Even if you really enter the naturally formed space crack, the place where you reappear will be another universe, and the possibility of appearing in the same area is rare to infinity close to zero."

But the fat man said disapprovingly: "The possibility is so small that it is infinitely close to zero, but it is not equal to zero."

Wu Xie said: "If we use science to explain it, there is only one explanation. If not, the situation we are facing would be in another category entirely."

Fatty fell into deep thought, and said to himself, "Is there such a thing in the legends left by our ancestors?"

Wu Xie said: "I always felt that the process when you and Menyou Ping lost consciousness at the bottom of the lake did not look like being solved by a "natural phenomenon" at all, but too much like someone used something to plot against you. Therefore, I very much agree with Men You Ping before. View: The forces that brought us here definitely have meaning and purpose.

I have never seen records of human figures appearing in rocks in any notebook novels in the past. Of course, maybe my coverage is not broad enough. "

I gently shook my brother's arm, helped him stand on tiptoes, put my little mouth next to his ear and asked him softly: "Is the thing in the stone Milotuo?"
