The Dead Zone: Maya Stela - C80
“Elder Li, what’s going on?” When I saw it, I was terrified.
Elder Li said, “I was poisoned.” I brought some medicine! ” I immediately said, “I’ll go over to get it now. It’s over by the stone statue!” “What do you mean by ‘watch over’ it with Wei Yuting!” It’s useless, “Elder Li shook his head.” You don’t even know what kind of poison it is, how will you be able to cure it? “We’ve already used the leeches to suck out the blood. As long as we can survive this period of time, we should be fine.”
I brought some medicine with me this time, but I don’t know what kind of poison it is, but I can only watch it anxiously. Elder Li saw my unsightly expression and his lips trembled. “Why have you come back?”
Elder Li’s tone was very strict. For a moment, I didn’t know how to explain that Elder Li wasn’t Elder Li after all, and was surrounded by people. I thought for a moment and said, “Isn’t it the Spring Festival? I’ll come in and bring you guys something to eat.”
Elder Li looked at me for a while before laughing. “You youngsters …” I scratched my head, knowing it was over for the time being. He no longer had the mood to pretend to be a fool, “Have you eaten yet? I’ll go get it. I wasn’t sure where you were, so I left them there. ”
Elder Li shook his head. “I can’t eat. You should rest.”
I had no choice but to reply, “I’ll go back and bring the items over first.” Then, he suddenly noticed something and asked, “Grandfather, where’s Dad?”
Originally, half of the reason I came over this time was because of my father and the other half was because of Elder Li. The fact that I didn’t see my father earlier, coupled with my worry for Old Li, made me almost forget to care about my father.
“Is he not here …” Elder Li looked around, “He probably went out.” “You don’t have to worry too much. Nothing will happen to you.” I nodded and went out to look around again. My father was sitting on one side, just in time for me to arrive. I couldn’t see him, so I quickly went to get him.
My father was originally sitting there with his eyes closed. Before I could call out, he had already opened his eyes. He looked at me and said, “Hmm? “Didn’t you go back?” It’s good that you’re fine. ” I let out a long breath.
My father rolled his eyes and said, “You think I’m you? “You don’t believe in your father’s strength?” “No, no.”
My father turned around completely and looked at me. “Speak, if you turn back this time, there must be a problem.” “Something happened on the way?” “No, no,” I denied. “Dad, how do you know I got the stone?” That stone tablet was something that I had to trouble Elder Li to keep for you in the first place. ”
I was so shocked that my father dropped another bomb. “I saw what Elder Li wrote you. What kind of riddle are you two playing?”
“What do you mean?” I asked in astonishment, “Could it be that the one who had rummaged through my pockets was you?” Turn your pockets? “No!” My father said, “You were too careless. That piece of paper fell in the corner and I picked it up.” He patted his pockets.
I felt relieved and explained, “I’ll explain it to you later. I’ll go back and move my things first. ” With that, he chuckled and turned back the way he came.
I went down into the water, moving by myself in the dark water of the cave with my flashlight on. I was not in a good mood. I only felt my nerves tighten to a certain extent, but for the time being, Elder Li was fine. I didn’t forget Elder Li’s words, “As long as you can endure for these two days,” which meant that if you can’t, then …
The roar of the water reverberated through the enclosed space, stimulating my eardrums, which were straining against my nerves. My head was buzzing, and I was there at last, and they were sitting there waiting for me.
When they saw me come out, the two of them said with hopeful expressions, “Are you alright?”
I repeated what Elder Li and my father had said, but there was no progress. The three of them carried the two large bags into the water.
After all, there is very little waterproof material like our backpacks. Most of the things we bought this time were dry goods, that is, sealed packages. In order to prevent fresh items and medicine from soaking in the water, we also brought along three floating plates that could just pass through the water in front of us. At this moment, we split the items into three parts and placed them on the floating board.
The things we had brought with us gave some life to the somewhat lifeless camp. After all, we are all old people and most of us still care a lot about the Spring Festival. The three of us young people have brought our things here, so even though there is no New Year atmosphere, it will improve our mood a lot.
What do you mean by saying hi to Wei Yuting one by one, and I was called to the small stone house by my father.
“You’ve made two good friends.” The old man said.
I chuckled. “Dad, tell me, why did you call me over?” After all, the person in front of me was my father, so my mood wasn’t too stiff.
“I’m going to tell you a story.”
Me: “…”
“Aren’t you curious about the place I went before?” His father said solemnly, “I’ll explain everything to you now.”
I swallowed and remembered what I had wanted to ask my father about, so I asked him about the New Year’s gift. He nodded, but his expression was strange. However, the thing you’re talking about is also what I wanted to talk about. Your name is carved into the place I went to previously. ”
I was shocked speechless.
The old man said sternly, “I will tell you about this matter slowly. I don’t know why you received such a thing, but it’s obvious that you can’t get away from the place where you went with me. “You told me before that your two friends saw something like that in Henan, so I was thinking, did you get into some sort of a feud?”
“Why do you say that?”
“Using cinnabar to write your name is the same as giving treatment to those who are already dead. For example, the words that were engraved on the tombstone. To be able to do this was an unlucky thing. And now your name is not on the ground, but underground. “In other words, it’s not a single rock, but a formation.”
Hearing his father’s words, the coldness in his heart intensified.
“…” Don’t worry about that for now, “the old man said.” I found something here a while ago, and it has a lot to do with where I went before.
My father signed the confidentiality agreement before National Day. In fact, it wasn’t me, or not just me, who had been invited to the operation at the start. I was more like a substitute, or a second tier. And the first tier is my dad.
As I was a resident of the university, I had no way of knowing what had happened in the house during the break. As early as September 17th, my father received two people who had come here, one was An Xian, an old acquaintance of my grandfather’s, and the other was a foreign woman named Fangting.
Fantine?
The name sounded familiar, and as I thought about it, a strange feeling surged through my heart.
This was the name of the woman I dreamt of. I really wanted to give this woman to my father to be my stepmother.
My father didn’t care about my expression and continued, “You’re still a student. Moreover, I signed a confidentiality agreement, so I borrowed the title of travelling.”
Actually, the stone tablet that my grandfather brought back was originally unknown. The reason my father was captured and turned into a strong man was only because of the excavation site at the Maya ruin. As for the stone tablet that my grandfather brought back, it was completely discovered by accident.
The stone tablet that my grandfather found was not the most important one. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been so easy to bring back.
It didn’t mean that it was valuable, or that each piece had its own corresponding content, or that any part of it could not be fully analyzed.
Originally, they came to my house and secretly took it out. I didn’t expect that my hands would be sunning themselves in those days, and that I would eventually become one of them.
I was dumbstruck. What do you mean by ‘hands are cheap?’ If I had known that this was going to happen, I wouldn’t have moved. I would have waited for the books to become moldy.
When he reconnected with the outside world, it was me and Elder Song who got on the line.
Afterwards, he did not come home, but instead went directly to the place he called “very dangerous.” Inside, he was not sure if I could come out, much less whether I could come out of Mount Pingji, so he sent it to me. The so-called New Year’s gift was a letter written in his hand.
The letter was an ordinary letter from home. It did not involve anything that should not have appeared, that would have involved a confidentiality agreement, but in the end it did not fall into my hands.
None of us can really go home this New Year, but it’s good to spend the New Year together in the dark water. It’s better to be alone in the house.
“What I want to tell you now is where I went after my letter.” “Where is that?”
My father took a deep breath and said, “He Nan, Ping Xiang Shan.”
Ah?
I was stunned. This name was too familiar. It was simply too inconceivable. Pingji Mountain in Henan Province, Pingxiang Mountain in Henan Province?
This Name…
“Yes,” Father seemed to be able to read my thoughts, and he nodded. “From the name, you can tell. In fact, both the Pingji Mountain and the Pingxiang Mountain belong to the category of barren mountains. “Pingji Mountain is just a mountain peak, but in reality, the mountain peak is just a piece of land. The name, when combined together, is … good luck and good luck.”
“This piece of mountain was mentioned in Henan folklore, and the story occurred not in the ‘very early’ period, but in the ‘Eastern Han Dynasty’, where the exact point was finally confirmed to be the correct place, in conjunction with the contents of the stone tablet. The mountaintop you went to is only half a mountain away from where I am. ”
I had nothing to say, but at this point, I was shocked to the point of losing my voice.
My dad is right next door to me?
Although it was only a portion of the distance, the mechanisms were very different. The Pingji Mountain was considered to be clever, and the Pingxiang Mountain could be said to be a wondrous and crafty method. The mechanisms within could not be described in the same breath.
They had determined that the entrance was in a completely different way from ours. The Pingji Mountains use geomagnetism, and we can use the vegetation on the surface to determine where we’re looking. They’re not.
It was a tedious and boring method.
Search the mountains.
Pingxiang Mountain is different. Pingxiang Mountain is a level above everyone else from the outside to the inside.
The stone tablets were also divided into different grades. Although each stone had its own usage, not all of them were of the same importance. The monuments they have already obtained are like this, so are the monuments we are searching for. The three newbies on our side can only be considered a part of the search. Their core values are all next door.
Snatching around in the mountains is a very boring thing to do, but you have to do it. The search method mentioned here was naturally not the type of search with the naked eye. They had their own methods of searching.
If there was an underground cave, the surface would definitely show some signs of it. Although most of the collapse would be propped up by the rock that built the hole, it would still be “exposed”.
If it was a recent underground cavern, it could be distinguished by the growth of the surface vegetation. But in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the trees could grow lush and verdant. This road won’t work.
Although the experts in my father’s team are here, if you look closely, you will see that they are not people from the same era. Just like how there is a gap between us and dad, Old Li’s team is even stronger than my dad’s registration. In fact, it was split into three echelons — Old Man Li, my father, and the three of us. However, Old Li and the rest’s goal was not the stone tablet, but an existence even more important than the stone tablet.
My father was also in a three-man team during the previous exploration. Other than my father, one of them is the son of the old professor Lin Yemao, and the other one is Song Ping’s father, the Song family.
Alright, it’s connected.
I felt like a tiny dot that had been bothering me before suddenly opened up. Although I had only untied a small knot in the cotton wool of the whole affair, which was of no use to the thread, and had not helped me to sort out any clues, I was able to make some progress.
Father Song and Father Ping originally knew about the stone tablet as well. This is also the reason why he prepared my secret agreement and not the secret agreement. He knew it would be me.
That would be easy to explain — Father knew Old Song, and also knew that I would reunite with him. Thus, in the beginning, the one who decided to act together with Song Ping and the others was me, not the other party. Thus, the secret agreement was originally meant for me.
Lin Jieke was an old professor with a deep understanding of Feng Shui, in the eyes of many people, Feng Shui Fu was more like a god-like theory. However, it was always very effective when it came to searching for ancient items.
The tomb at the foot of Pingxiang Mountain was not a tomb, but a room. It was a hall. Therefore, he didn’t need to conserve and nourish Yin Qi, but rather, he needed to gather and condense Yang Qi to suppress the wind and water. The mountain is called masculine, the water is called feminine. They found the bright water on the mountain — a stream, the highest point of the stream, the small pool at the top of the mountain. At noon, they calculated the entrance on the top with the character “sixty-four palaces” before they entered.
