After hearing that, I immediately became suspicious.
The bronze statue that was said to be moving, was it moving according to the trajectory? Or could it be that Zhang Zikong found something inside the city tower of the Underground World?
Even though I was doubtful, I still looked at the bush warily.
But after a while, Zhang Zi Kong stood up and walked towards the bush. So I stayed behind to guard the board in case someone was plotting against it after we all left.
After a short while, Zhang Zi Kong returned with a bronze statue in his arms, "I think it's because of the fire beside us. Our movements were discovered by that person, so he ran away."
With that, he placed the bronze statue on the ground and began to examine it.
Just as he said, there were some lines in the shape of teeth on the bottom of the bronze statue. In his own words, that was the mechanism by which the bronze statue moved.
Seeing my confused expression, he started to explain to me.
Previously, he knew that there was an ancient tomb here, but he didn't know whose tomb it was. That was what he said he was going to look for, after he had killed the man.
Through his investigation, he discovered that this ancient city was most likely built by the teacher of the Kingdom of Yunnan that was exiled more than two thousand years ago. The Imperial Advisor had been exiled for using worms to infect women during pregnancy and for using vicious methods to obtain guidance. After the Imperial Advisor left, the underground city that he had previously set up also disappeared.
And the things that we encountered in the underground world are all left behind by that Imperial Advisor.
"Then what does this have to do with Ah Xi's bronze statue moving around? Moreover, didn't they say that the 'Longevity Jue' was Qin Shi Huang's Imperial Jade Seal? And why would it appear in the ruins left behind by the teacher of the Kingdom of Yunnan? "
"This is temporarily unclear as to the relationship between the Longevity Jue and the teacher of the Kingdom of Yunnan. However, the reason why the Japanese are building underground fortifications in these deep mountains and forests is probably because of the remains of the Dian Kingdom's Imperial Advisors. "
Following that, Zhang Zi Kong revealed one of his guesses.
In his words, in those days, the Imperial Advisors of Yunnan had probably already set up many ingenious traps on the ground. As for the usage, he wasn't sure for the time being.
Later on, the Japanese invading China might have found some documents regarding the Dian Kingdom's Imperial Advisors. They wanted to use this technique in the war, so they came here to excavate it. Later on, they might have discovered some mechanisms as well, so they used the bronze statue of Ah Xi as a guide and placed it on top of the mechanisms.
But in the end, it turned out that after A Xi's bronze statue was placed on top of the mechanism, it could only move around in the mountains nearby, and did not guide them to the entrance of the relic.
So that's how it is. No wonder Ah Xi's bronze statue is moving around. However, it didn't take the initiative to look for us.
Although this matter had already been figured out, I was curious about another matter.
Previously, I knew that the Zhang Clan's carving technique was very ingenious, but I never thought that they would also be proficient in things like mechanisms. Just by investigating the underground relic, he was able to confirm that Ah Xi's bronze statue was not moving in the lakeside. Wasn't this a little too exaggerated?
However, just as we were about to bury Ah Xi's bronze statue, before I could ask Zhang Zi Kong these questions, I suddenly saw a blazing fire coming from the distant horizon, as if there was a forest fire somewhere!
"Heh, that Gu Miao from Stone Bite Village is probably going to attack the people from the village!"
Hearing Zhang Zi Kong's words, I immediately became anxious again!
Previously, Zhang Zi Kong had said that all the teams that had entered the village to cut gums had disappeared, and it was very likely that it was the Gu seedlings that had caused the ghost, and it was also the Gu seedlings that had caused it.
However, because the grudges between them have nothing to do with us, based on the principle that this matter does not concern us, we did not interfere. But now, if that Gu Miao really set fire to the village, Miao De's house would definitely bear the brunt of the attack! You know, he was still lying at Miao's house.
I looked at the sleeping board behind me and then at the distant fire. I was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan!
What the heck should he do?
Seeing my anxious expression, Zhang Zi Kong immediately stood up and said to me, "You just need to stay here and take care of that brat. As for the other matters, leave them to me."
With that, he ran in the direction of the flames.
Although I was confident in his abilities, he was still very weak, so I was still a bit worried.
However, after Zhang Zi Kong had walked for less than half an hour, I noticed that my surroundings had started to become lively!
At first there was a strange noise in the grass where we had seen the bronze statue of Ashi, and then, faintly, a strange noise in the woods by the lake.
Originally, I thought it was some wild animals from the mountains, so I didn't pay much attention. I just added a few sticks of firewood to the bonfire, making it burn even hotter.
But afterwards, I suddenly saw a few figures shuttling back and forth in the forest. Moreover, there were voices that travelled to my ears along with the wind!
Why the f * ck was there someone speaking in the wilderness? And there were more than one or two of them!
Could it be the workers that the Japanese caught while they were building the underground structures? Legend has it that no one who was captured by Japanese devils to do something will be able to come back alive! Could it be that those figures and voices I just saw were the ghosts of those wronged workers?
As soon as I thought of it, I remembered the stories I had heard from the old people in the country.
Most of those stories were about the Japanese bastards who caught the Chinese to do hard labor. When they were done, they would slaughter the hard labor in a group. As for the ghosts of the labourers, because of their heavy resentment, they would gather together in one place. At that place, at night, there would be all kinds of strange noises coming from there, and one could even hear the cries of many people!
Could it be those Japanese scum from back then, or those commoners who were massacring in this area?
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a chill in my heart. I immediately exposed the qilin in my chest!
However, just as I revealed the Qilin, the wooden cow in my hand started to heat up!
Seeing this, I was extremely shocked in my heart!
No way! Even a Qilin that has gone through trials and tribulations is unable to do anything to you? So fierce!?
As soon as the wooden ox in my hand heated up, I immediately crouched down. Just as I was about to touch the ground, two sharp arrows suddenly made a whizzing wind and directly flew towards my head, brushing against my scalp, and nailing them to the ground in front of me!
What the hell was that thing so fierce!? He could even use a bow!?
Just as the arrow was nailed in the dirt in front of me, a figure appeared in front of me and a familiar voice rang in my ears!
"Don't move! If you dare make another move, I'll shoot you dead! "
Looking up, I can't believe my eyes! Because the person standing in front of me isn't a ghost, but a person. And this person is actually Miao De!
What surprised me was that he was looking at me with a gaze full of hatred, as if I had done something unforgivable in their village!
