Before we could ask this question, Madman Six took a deep breath, shook his head helplessly and said, "Tian Liwen and Professor Shan may be related to this kind of scripture."

Hearing what he said, we were confused.

The cousin then explained: "I'm afraid the purpose of Tian Liwen and Professor Shan's coming here is not to inspect the murals and architecture as they said, but for something else."

We still don't quite understand, but my cousin didn't explain anything further. Instead, he stretched out his index finger and pressed hard on a pattern on the branch of the 'tree' - because on that 'branch', in addition to the secret numb words,

, and there were some spell-like patterns - but no one expected that after he pressed it, something unexpected happened:

The moment my cousin pressed it, there was a "pop" sound, and a round hole appeared on the branch. The hole was not big, only the size of a bean.

Immediately afterwards, dozens of bugs flew out from the small hole. At first, we thought they were flies because they looked like flies at first glance and even made a buzzing sound like flies. But when we looked carefully, we knew that they were flies.

It's probably not a fly, because it seems to have a very long mouth on its head.

Xiao Lei reacted the fastest. He raised his hand and grabbed one in the air.

At this time, Crazy Six quickly handed over a glass bottle. This glass bottle was only the size of a thumb. It should be used by Crazy Six to hold medicinal powder.

Xiao Lei put the flying insect into the bottle with his hand. All these actions only happened in a few seconds. Before we could take a closer look at the insect in the bottle, our cousin said:

"Quick, everyone, follow those bugs and see where they go?"

Fortunately, these flying insects do not fly very fast. What is even more strange is that these insects will fly and stop, as if they are forming different formations, sometimes circular, sometimes square, and whether it is round or square, then

The shapes were all very regular, which surprised us.

The female translator also took out her camera in time and took a few quick photos of this "flying insect formation".

I originally thought that these bugs would fly into the hole - the one where the human skin went in, because I vaguely felt that these bugs were related to the human skin, and the direction in which these bugs flew happened to be the direction of the hole. As for

I can't explain why I feel this way, it's just an intuition.

Sure enough, the group of flying insects flew to the entrance of the cave, but the entrance had been mysteriously sealed. After they circled around the entrance of the cave for a few times, they continued to fly towards the north.

In fact, we are still very unfamiliar with this area. Except for the area near the crater and Old Yuan's home, we have never been to other places around here.

When Old Man Yuan saw these flying insects flying north, he couldn't help but murmured: "It's broken, it's broken."

His voice was not loud, and everyone was concentrating on tracking the flying insects. No one paid much attention to the few words he mumbled to him. Only Xiao Lei and I, because we were right next to him, noticed his strange reaction.

, we both couldn't help but look at Old Yuan, and found that he suddenly looked anxious, as if he was worried about something, and his pace was obviously faster, and the speed of flying insects was also obviously faster.

What's going on? Why did Old Yuan react like this?

Although we were very curious, at this time, we saw that everyone was hurriedly chasing flying insects, so we couldn’t ask more questions. When we climbed over a small hillside and saw the scene in front of us, everyone was surprised, because the scene in front of us was

The terrain is really unique.

Not far in front of us, there was a big crack. This crack was very wide, at least more than ten meters. When we came to the edge of the crack and looked down, we only took one glance and quickly took a step back because I was so dizzy.

, dare not look any further.

Ordinarily, compared with the previous bottomless cliffs, this cliff is not too deep, only about twenty or thirty meters. Under the sunlight, you can even see the bottom of the valley.

But I don’t know why, why am I so dizzy just by looking at it?

Not only me, but everyone else had the same reaction as me - first looking down, then quickly retreating, for fear that I would lose my footing and fall.

At this time, Old Yuan quickly said to everyone: "Don't look down, it will be very dangerous. It's better during the day, especially in the evening or night. If you look down, you will slip and fall."

What Old Yuan said was so baffling. At this time, the flying insects had already flown through the crack. It seemed that we were being forced to continue chasing.

We were just about to ask Old Man Yuan in detail when we heard Xiao Lei pointing to the left and suddenly said: "Look, everyone, there is a bridge there!"

Everyone looked in the direction of his finger, and sure enough, there was a bridge more than ten meters to the left. Old Yuan and Mr. Chen shook their heads repeatedly and said, "That's not a bridge..."

How could it not be a bridge? Before the two of them finished speaking, everyone followed Xiao Lei and quickly walked towards the bridge. But when we got closer and took a closer look, everyone froze in shock - that was indeed not the bridge.

What kind of bridge, but a stone pillar lying between the cracks!

Moreover, what is even more incredible is that the stone pillar was not built artificially, but "grew" there by itself. In other words, this stone pillar was naturally formed and was as thick as the mouth of a bowl. The two ends of the stone pillar were respectively

It "grows" together with the stones on both sides of the crack. This is the first time we have seen this wonderful terrain.

Everyone felt that this was even more strange than the platform protruding from the cliff.

At this time, the group of insects had flown to the opposite side of the crack and disappeared soon. Xiao Lei was the bravest. He leaned forward and stepped on the stone pillar with his feet, trying to reach the opposite side from the stone pillar.

of.

Old man Yuan and Mr. Chen quickly stopped him. Old man Yuan said that several decades ago, several people tried to climb over this stone pillar and fell to their death. As far as he knew, no one

People can climb to the other side alive, so this stone pillar is very strange.

Hearing what he said, Xiao Lei quickly retracted his legs. We also advised Xiao Lei that he would rather believe that this kind of thing happened than not believe that it didn't happen.

"How long is this crack? Can we go around it?" Sister Li asked while looking along the crack.

Mr. Chen shook his head and said: "Actually, this crack is quite long, at least more than ten miles, and it has many twists and turns. At both ends of this crack, there are mountains that are connected like a knife and an axe.

, stretching for hundreds of miles, it is like a natural barrier that separates both sides of the crack. It is impossible to climb over it. Even though the two sides of the crack are only more than ten meters long, it is a bit awkward to get over it.

possible."

Old man Yuan next to him also said with emotion: "Yes, I have lived here for decades and have never been to the opposite side, although I have seen it countless times through the cracks."

We had no choice but to look at the opposite side in frustration, feeling like "although we are so close, we are actually thousands of miles away."

What makes us most regretful is that we still couldn't trace the whereabouts of those flying insects. My cousin looked across the crack, his brows furrowed, as if he was thinking about something quickly. Suddenly, he turned to Xiaolei and said: "You didn't just

Have you caught one of these flying insects? Is it still there? Take it out and have a look."

After being reminded by his cousin, Xiao Lei quickly took out the vial, but the flying insect was still inside. I don't know if it was suffocated to death, but it lay there motionless.

Xiao Lei raised the bottle, and we all gathered around to take a closer look at the insect. When we saw the shape of the flying insect clearly, everyone was shocked - it was not a bug at all, but a bird!

Although it is only about the size of a fly, it has all the characteristics of a bird - beak, claws, two wings, and black feathers. We have never seen such a small bird, even smaller than a hummingbird.

It turns out that flying insect is not an insect at all, but this kind of bird!

"Cousin, why do you want to press that pattern? Do you know that when you press that place, something will come out?" Hongmei asked her cousin thoughtfully.

My cousin nodded and said, "Well, because that talisman is very special. It is a talisman from the Three Purities Sect of Taoism. It is said that that kind of talisman was first created by Jiang Ziya.

There is such a legend.

Jiang Ziya assisted King Wu of Zhou and established the Western Zhou Dynasty. When Jiang Ziya was about to die, he told King Wu of Zhou that after his death, his coffin should not be buried in the ground, but should be hung in the Jinluan Palace of King Wu of Zhou. When there was a rebellion somewhere, the coffin would be used.

, point the end with the talisman in that direction, and the rebellion in that place will soon be quelled. This method can protect the Zhou Dynasty for eight hundred years. But you must not open the coffin to look at it, because once it is opened,

Coffin, the Zhou Dynasty's energy will soon be over.

So King Wu of Zhou did what Jiang Ziya said - hung Jiang Ziya's coffin in the main hall. When there was a rebellion somewhere, he would use the end of the coffin with the talisman painted on it to point to the place where the rebellion occurred. The rebellion soon

will be calmed down.

In this way, successive emperors of the Zhou Dynasty followed the same method. Sure enough, the power of the Zhou Dynasty has been passed down for several generations and remains impregnable.

But when King You of Zhou came, he became uncontrollably curious about Jiang Ziya's coffin. He insisted on opening Jiang Ziya's coffin to see what was inside. Although many ministers tried to persuade him,

But King Zhou You still insisted on opening the coffin.

But when King Zhou You asked the warriors to open the coffin, the coffin lid seemed to grow together with the coffin and could not be pried open. In the end, King You had no choice but to send the historian to ask him to search some historical records to see if there were any.

How to open a coffin.

In the historical records, the historian found out that the way to open the coffin was to press the charm on one end of the coffin with your hand, and the coffin would open automatically.

King Zhou You was overjoyed after hearing this, and quickly pressed the talisman on the coffin with his own hands. Sure enough, the lid of the coffin opened with a bang, and then eighteen black birds flew out from inside.

These eighteen birds flew in all directions, and the Zhou Dynasty soon fell into chaos. Some people said that those eighteen black birds were the eighteenth rebel king."

After hearing this, Old Yuan nodded and said: "Well, I also know this legend. It is a story recorded in Taoist classics in the Ming Dynasty. I also saw the shape of the charm, which is exactly the same as the charm on the 'branches'

.”

Is there really such a weird thing in the world?

The legend my cousin told me is obviously just a legend and cannot be true. But why did some black birds really fly out when you press the talisman on the branch with your hand, and they are such small birds?
