An Naduo suddenly made a sound, which scared us. Yuanxiao also stopped the movement in his hand and looked at An Naduo in surprise.

Anaduo looked at us and said, "When I was a child, I heard the old man in the village tell me a story about the stone man suppressing demons."

"Stone man suppresses demons?" I couldn't help but blurt out.

Annaduo nodded, "It is said that in ancient times, Chiyou fought with Huangdi, but died in the battlefield. As soon as Chiyou died, the Jiuli tribe lost its protection, and some demons and evil spirits took advantage of the situation. In order to avoid diseases and war, people had to start migrating. Later, everyone came here. The mountains and rivers are beautiful and the scenery is picturesque, so people settled here. Unexpectedly, one day, a kind of demon appeared in the mountains. It had countless minions, plundered livestock and hurt countless people. Nuwa was merciful. Seeing this scene, thirty-six stone people changed, suppressing the demon here, and never turned over!"

After telling this story, Anado paused, then pointed to the stone man on the ground and said, "I think this stone man may be related to this legend! It's better not to move!"

After hearing Anaduo's words, Yuanxiao smiled, "Sister, you know that it is a legend. They are all fake. Myths. Maybe someone went up the mountain to see such a stone man many years ago, so he made up such a story. You are also a college student after all, and you should stick to the materialist view! Why do you still believe in this?"

But I think it's better to be cautious, "It's not a matter of materialism or not. Half a year ago, I wouldn't believe that there would be such a thing in the stone man. I wouldn't believe that there would be such a huge snake deep in the mountain, nor would I believe that there would be such a huge fog that would appear in the thick fog. I can't tell what it is, and the various strange phenomena seen in the ancient tombs of the island and the ancient Shanhuan Kingdom. It's not that we are not materialistic, but that there are too many things we don't understand in this world."

After I said this, Yuanxiao was a little shaken. She stopped holding the stone man's hand, hesitated and lowered her head to ponder. After a while, Yuanxiao nodded, "Well, it makes sense, then stop moving, stop moving." As he said that, Yuanxiao stood aside.

At this time, Wen Mo was still studying the information left by the Sinan pattern of the Western Zhou Dynasty on the Stone Man. Yuanxiao asked: "Boss, how about it? Are there any results?"

Wen Mo said along the deep mountains in the distance: "From the current situation, we can only determine one direction, probably where." As he said that, Wen Mo pointed to the distance.

Yuanxiao turned to Annaduo and said, "Sister, where is the direction going?"

Annaduo walked over and looked at it, saying, "There is Siping Mountain in front and Caibu River on the right. I don't know where it goes deeper. I have never been to that place before. I guess my dad rarely goes there."

After hearing what Annaduo said, the three of us had no idea for a moment. We stood at the top of the hillside and looked forward to the distance. Deep in the ten thousand mountains, the strange mountains stood tall, with mountains covered with green and steep, and clouds surrounded by mist.

I suddenly remembered something, so I turned to Annaduo and said, "Sister, do you still remember when I came, I asked you about the mudslide?"

Anado nodded at me, and I continued, "White direction is the place where the mudslide that occurred last year?"

Anado identified it a little, then pointed with his hand, "It's right there, across the river from Siping Mountain."

Hearing her words, I nodded and said to Wen Mo: "Boss, look at the direction of the white stone top that the stone man boss Nan Wen pointed to."

Wen Mo confirmed through the Stone Man, "It's very close, but the position is slightly off. If the Stone Man's position is further south, the direction pointed by Si Nanwen is the White Stone Top, but the direction it indicates now is Caibu River on the south side of the White Stone Top."

"Caibu River?" This result surprised me a little. Why did I point to a river? Is the thing I was looking for actually in the river? That would be a problem. We did not prepare submersible equipment.

But Yuanxiao said, "I said you are dogmatism. I don't know that this stone man has been here for hundreds or thousands of years. There is a little deviation. Isn't this normal?"

"But," I looked at the stone man, then looked deep in the mountains, "But, now it also points to something. Is there a problem in the Bu River?"

Yuanxiao waved his hands repeatedly, "How is it possible! What's the special thing about a river? Moreover, this river is flowing. It is absolutely impossible to build under the water of a natural river with the technical level at that time! Unless there are aliens who help, aliens, do you believe it?"

I know that Lanxiao started to make a fuss as she talked. Although I admit that what Lanxiao said was not impossible, I still think things are not that simple.

Seeing that we were hesitant, Yuanxiao walked to the stone man, grabbed the two shoulders of the stone man, and turned hard. The stone man turned slightly south in the direction he faced, Yuanxiao clapped his hands, "Is it comfortable to see this way? I said you are obsessive-compulsive disorder."

After hearing what Yuanxiao said, we all turned our heads to look at him. I noticed that Wen Mo only took a look, and his face immediately changed. He flipped his hands and pulled out his short knife, and looked at the direction of Yuanxiao nervously.

At this time, I noticed that at the foot of the stone man, a gap was created due to the movement of the Lantern Festival just now, and a purple-black smoke floated out from it.

Anado widened his eyes and shouted, "Run!"

Yuanxiao also noticed this situation and wanted to run after raising her foot. But just after running, she fell to the ground with a "Oh". We looked closely and saw that a purple-black tentacle had drilled out of the ground at some point. At this time, it was wrapped around Yuanxiao's ankle and pulled it hard.

Wen Mo rushed up with a quick step, but he had just approached the stone man, and another tentacle mixed with purple and black gas rushed straight towards Wen Mo's chest. Wen Mo hurriedly avoided with a knife.

Seeing Wen Mo being dragged, I knew he would not be in danger for the time being, so I immediately waved my short knife and rushed towards Yuanxiao. But Anaduo, who was closer to Yuanxiao, was faster than me. She lowered her head and rushed towards Yuanxiao, rolled forward and jumped to Yuanxiao, waved the hook knife, the Miao hook knife was extremely sharp, and the purple-black tentacles were cut off instantly.

Yuanxiao did not dare to neglect this opportunity, so she got up and rolled and ran aside.

We all stepped aside, alert to the things under the stone man. I couldn't help but look at An Naduo a few more admiration. I didn't expect that a female college student who seemed weak was so brave.

Anado felt my gaze, turned to look at me, and I gave her a thumbs up, "Sister, you're so skillful!"

An Naduo smiled faintly and turned his head over, "This is nothing? In the past, when I went up the mountain to collect herbs with my father, it was common to encounter some beasts and poisonous snakes. I can handle the general situation."

"No wonder!" I nodded, so that's it.

Yuanxiao rubbed his ankles, "Fortunately, the pants were thicker. This stone man was indeed like the five-mouthed stone man seen on the island. He had such a ghost thing, but this time it was not inside the stone manne but underneath."

At this time, the entire stone man was surrounded by purple-black gas, and the strange face of the stone man was looming in the black gas. Perhaps because of the angle problem, I actually felt that the stone man was laughing. This made my scalp numb. The purple-black tentacles were waving in the air around the stone man, which was really chilling.

Yuanxiao stared at the scene in front of her and said, "Boss, what did you call this thing last time on the island?"

Wen Mo said, "This thing is called Yinming Snake Vine!"

Yes, after they said this, I remembered it. When I was on the island, Wen Mo once told us that the Yinming Snake Vine is a species left over from ancient times. This species belongs to Yin and likes to grow in places with heavy Yin energy.

I shouted nervously, "What should I do?"

"Burn!" Wenmo said firmly.

"Yes!" Yuanxiao and I agreed with this method. Only Annaduo seemed to not understand very much, so I explained to her while igniting the fire, "What the monster under the stone man fears most is this kind of burnt charcoal ash."

Anado nodded thoughtfully, "Why do you know these things? After hearing what you said just now, you have seen these things before? What's going on?"

I think Annaduo has already had some doubts about the identity and motives of several of us. I really wanted to tell the truth with impulse, "Sister, we..."

At this moment, Yuanxiao shouted to me: "Zhuoran, what are you doing? Help!"

I quickly agreed, and then burned the wooden stick to approach the Yinming Snake Vine. This method worked very well, and in the end the entire Yinming Snake Vine was completely forced back to the ground by us. Fortunately, there was only one Yinming Snake Vine in this place, otherwise we would have no other way except to turn around and run away.

After the Yinming Snake Vine completely retreated to the ground, we stuffed all the wooden sticks and charcoal in our hands into the gaps under the stone man's feet. Then we worked together to restore the stone man to its original position.

The surroundings of the stone man returned to peace, and we then gave the guests a breath.

We found a place far away from the stone man, and several people sat under the trees to rest. I had just eaten something and drank some water. I saw a pair of slender and beautiful legs walking towards me.

I knew at a glance that the person coming was An Naduo, which made my heart skip a beat. I could probably guess the purpose of An Naduo coming to me. It seems that it will come anyway, and some things may not be hidden. Now that things have come, just say it. I made up my mind, but instead looked at An Naduo who was getting closer and closer.

Anado sat beside me, looked at me meaningfully, and then asked softly: "Xiaoran, tell me the truth, who are you? Are you really just buying and selling antiques? Including what is your second uncle here for?"
