Chapter 70 Strange Stone Box
I suddenly felt that there might be unexpected gains in the center of this place. Thinking of this, Lantern Festival and I accelerated our pace.
We followed the coffin arrangement and soon walked to the area close to the center. However, we did not walk over rashly, but stopped at a dozen steps away from the center.
With the light of light that was not too bright, we found that there seemed to be something in the position surrounding the coffin.
We stayed in place for a while and it seemed that there was no danger. So Yuanxiao and I walked over carefully.
Since the flashlight is no longer very powerful, we didn't see clearly until we walked up to it. What was placed here was a stone table, and there was a stone box on it. In front of the stone table, there was a round hole, with a small opening and no more than one meter in diameter.
I walked up to the front and looked at it. It was pitch black inside the hole and I couldn't see it at all. I thought it was very deep and deep! Although this hole really had no momentum and could not see anything special, when I saw it just now, I actually remembered the Eye of the Void.
When I looked at the stone box on the table carefully, I realized that my feeling was not groundless. Because the stone box on the table was actually almost exactly the same as the stone box we found above the Eye of the Ancient Tomb of the Island.
I told Yuanxiao this discovery, and Yuanxiao showed an incredible expression, "Are you sure? The stone boxes in the world may all look the same. You can't read it wrong, right?"
I shook my head repeatedly, "This is absolutely impossible. You didn't know at that time. Wenmo and I climbed up to take down the stone box. I was so scared that I was so scared that I wet my pants. And I was even more impressed by the way that stone box looked like."
Yuanxiao nodded in surprise, "Oh my God, I saw the strange symbols in the ancient king's tomb of Shanhuan here, and the stone boxes under the ancient tomb of the island were also seen here. These three places thousands of miles apart seem to be a big deal. Not to mention the big deal, there is probably no big deal, but I didn't expect that there was a connection between the three of them, which was simply incredible!"
"Yes," I nodded and said, "I just don't know what is contained in this stone box?"
Yuanxiao smiled, "This is not simple, just open it and take a look!"
I pondered for a moment, "Yeah, that's true!"
I looked at the stone box carefully and it seemed that there was no locking device, so it should be opened directly.
I bent down and grabbed the lid of the stone box with both hands. Then I winked at Lantern Festival, and Lantern Festival took two steps back.
I let out a light breath, and with both hands, I suddenly lifted the lid, and then quickly retreated to prevent any mechanism in the stone box.
However, the lid of the stone box was opened, and there was no abnormality. Moreover, the stone box was not like the stone box of the island's Void Eye, which contained a lot of blood sand. The stone box looked empty and there seemed to be nothing.
Yuanxiao and I walked over carefully again, and then we saw that the stone box was not empty, but there was actually something inside.
But the things in it are very strange, even more surprised than the bloody sand I saw.
The stone box contains a ring and a photo!
I reached out and carefully picked up these two things. I first looked at the ring and suddenly found that the ring looked familiar. I put the ring close to the flashlight and found that I had seen this ring before, and I never expected to see such a ring here. Because this ring was found in the ancient Acropolis of Shanhuan, this ring was the one we found on the body of Tan Dadang!
I remember that this ring was in the hands of Uncle II. So, the thing in the stone box was put in by Uncle II.
I picked up the photo again. It was a black and white photo. It looked like a little old. The photo was a woman. This woman looked in her twenties and was very beautiful. But I have never seen this person before. Could it be that the photo was also from Uncle II? It seems that there was a story when Uncle II was young. This woman might be the one in Uncle II’s heart!
Yuanxiao also came over and asked, "What are these? They don't look like underworld objects!"
So I told Yuanxiao about the ring. Yuanxiao was very moved after hearing this, "I didn't expect that there was such a complicated story behind the trip to Gurbantonggut."
I said to Yuanxiao: "Actually, I envy you very much. There is nothing else in my mind except looking for underworld tools. I am also very stubborn!"
"Bad!" Yuanxiao pushed me, "Are you praising me? You're just stubborn!" After that, Yuanxiao looked at the photo in my hand again, "Who is this? Your second aunt?"
"Breaking nonsense!" I said angrily, "Don't just talk nonsense about recognizing relatives. I don't know this elder sister. Oh, no, it should be this aunt!"
Although I don’t know the intention of Uncle Er to put these things here, I think I should just put these two things away first.
After that, Yuanxiao and I saw that there was no special situation around us. As for the black hole, it was impossible for us to go down to see it, so let it go. So Yuanxiao and I started to return the same way and prepared to exit.
But as soon as we took two steps, we suddenly heard a strange sound from the coffin next to us. In the extremely quiet environment, this not-so-high sound was like a hammer hitting my heart. My heart trembled and I subconsciously stopped.
I turned around and looked at Lantern Festival. He looked almost as frightened as me, "No way, can't you hide it after all? I thought this place was the Dragon Boat Festival?"
The words of Lantern Festival made me stunned for a moment, and then I realized that the Dragon Boat Festival that Lantern Festival mentioned pointed to rice dumplings. I looked at Lantern Festival helplessly, "Are you still in the mood to say whispers at this time?"
Yuanxiao shrugged, and I signaled him to shut up, and then listened carefully to the sound in the coffin next to him. This sound was like a claw scratching the wooden board of the coffin.
My face changed, "If there is a situation, be careful!" As I said that, I quickly took a step back, subconsciously touched my waist, but I felt empty. Then I realized that we didn't actually carry any weapons on our bodies, and we didn't even have nail clippers.
Yuanxiao looked around and reached out to pick up a stone on the ground. I also learned from him and picked up a piece of it. It is better to have something in my hand than to have a bare hands, although I know it is mostly just a psychological comfort.
At this time, the sound from the coffin became louder and louder, as if it was about to come out. My breathing began to become rapid, licking my dry lips and clenched the stones in my hand.
With a few "dongdong" sounds from the bottom of the coffin, the already rotten wood was broken open and something came out of it. Yuanxiao and I were separated from each other and were about to take action, but suddenly we saw that what was coming out of the coffin was not a terrible thing, but a small animal.
At this moment, under the light of our flashlight, this little guy was waiting for two round eyes to look at us.
Yuanxiao then breathed a sigh of relief, "Damn, it's just such a thing, scared me." He said that, throwing the stone aside.
We squatted down and looked at the animal. It looked very similar to a lizard, with a body of about twenty centimeters long. The whole body was gray-brown, with orange-yellow on the mouth and tail. There were three bulges on the body, which also appeared orange-yellow. Overall, it looked quite beautiful, but its eyes made me feel a little strange, and the black eyeballs seemed to show a light red.
I looked and said, "What kind of animal is this?"
Yuanxiao replied: "This, I know it. This is called Guizhou Wart Newt. I once saw a friend raise one."
I nodded, "So it's a pet?"
Yuanxiao shook her head, "What pet! This is actually a national second-class protected animal, and it is illegal to raise it casually! However," Yuanxiao looked at the Guizhou wart newt carefully and said, "However, I remember that the Guizhou wart newt's eyes should be painted black, like a black bean. Why does this eye still have some redness?"
"Maybe it's just a different breed." Although I also found it a little strange, I didn't think it was a problem. After all, there are many animals with red eyes, and the little white rabbit has red eyes!
Yuanxiao frowned, "I heard that if you eat dead animals, your eyes will turn red. Do you think this wart newt will eat a lot of dead meat here?"
After saying this, my back felt numb, "I left, no matter what it eats, it has nothing to do with us. It's important for us to leave here!"
Just as we were about to leave, the little wart newt suddenly took an attacking posture. Unexpectedly, this kind of thing was quite fierce, but after all, it was still too small, and Lanxiao kicked it aside with one kick.
At this time, the light of our flashlight became dimmer and we could only barely identify the direction. Yuanxiao and I couldn't help but speed up, but as we walked, I found that we didn't seem to be back the same way, and we took a path we hadn't walked just now.
In fact, although these coffins are arranged according to certain rules, they are not placed very closely, and there are large gaps in the middle. In addition, the light is not very good, so we can only determine a large direction. As for the choice of subtle routes, many times, the possibility of us turning to another road without realizing it is easy to appear.
