Datou understood my thoughts instantly, shouted "Follow me if you want to live" and led the people to run towards the robbery cave. I used a flashlight to show Maitreya the hole inside. He only hesitated for a moment and called Wei Laosan to take command. The two groups of people crossed to block the little ghost in the most bullet-saving burst-fire formation. He and the big head worked together to move the box, revealing the robbery hole behind it.
Datou is also an expert. He knew it was done by an experienced person just by looking at it. He turned around and asked me with his eyes. I shook my head and said that I had no idea.
We entered the hole one by one. The last person lit two incendiary bombs around to temporarily resist the attack of the little ghosts, and used a hook to pull over a wooden box to temporarily seal the entrance of the hole.
Everyone crawled along the Robber's Cave. The rock wall in the cave was a bit strange. It was a kind of rock I had never seen before. When I shined a flashlight on it, it looked like jade, but it was not as clear as jade. There were some large and small circles of crimson inside. The diffusion ripples look neither artificial nor naturally formed. In short, they are very weird.
I looked back at Da Tou. He was surprisingly quiet and followed me thoughtfully. Until we climbed out of the robbery cave and came to a simple stone room, Da Tou still looked uneasy.
After everyone climbed out, Maitreya's men blocked the exit with a tent, sealed pitons around it, and used their feet to hoist booby traps just in case.
When I saw Da Tou dazed, I felt something was wrong. I patted him and asked him what was wrong. Da Tou frowned and looked around, whispering: "I have a bad feeling."
"What did you find?"
"I don't know if I'm too sensitive, but none of those little ghosts landed."
"What do you mean?" I asked curiously.
Datou squinted and said, "Those little ghosts are very strange. I just recalled that none of those things have ever walked on the ground or been close to these stone walls. Please help me recall. Am I remembering it wrong?"
Although I was very surprised by Da Tou's strange perspective, I still tried to recall it. I was shocked at this moment. I looked directly at Da Tou and asked him: "Tell me, what did you find?"
"Yeah, you must have recalled that those things have never been close to these rocks." Big Tou's face was not very good, "If you think about it, these things have many opportunities to attack us, but they never did. They definitely don't want to fight with us. I think establishing friendly diplomatic relations is the greatest possibility, how to describe it?"
"Sacrifice?" I tried.
"Yes, yes." Datou nodded immediately and said, "That's what it means. They seem to be driving us away intentionally, so that the predators can give up their 'prey'. That proves that there is a bigger predator behind them."
Big Tou's thoughts coincided with mine. The behavior of those little ghosts was indeed suspicious, but I still didn't understand the "predator" he meant, so I pointed at the rock wall and said, "Predator?"
He looked at the rock wall solemnly: "Inside."
I didn't react for a moment: "What?"
He picked up a stone and walked to the stone wall to scrape on it. At the same time, he said to me: "Help."
Although I was confused by him, I knew he must have discovered something. This guy rarely loses his grip at critical moments, so I immediately picked up a stone and started scraping with him.
Maitreya's people were also confused by our strange behavior. Maitreya stood aside everyone and said to me: "What tricks are you doing? You managed to avoid those ghosts. Hurry up and lead the way."
"If you don't want all of your people to die here, come over and help." Datou's tone was surprisingly serious.
Maitreya hesitated for a moment, then waved his hand and asked Wei Laosan and the others to come up and help. He was already disturbed by this battlefield in Little Japan.
There is indeed something wrong with these rock walls. There is a layer of stone skin on the surface. It looks like a rock, but it is very thin, only one or two centimeters. After knocking a crack, it can be easily peeled off. On the contrary, the rock mass under the stone skin is particularly special. It's so hard, even though we smashed it for a long time, we still couldn't break it open.
"alright."
Big Tou threw away the rock, clapped his hands, and told us to retreat. We had dug out a hole three to four square meters in this wall. When all the ash fell away, a "mirror" was revealed behind it, and the entire rock wall was translucent. , I covered my mouth in surprise, because these rock walls were the same as what we saw in the Robber's Cave.
"Put two beams of light in, the light will be stronger." Big Head greeted people.
Two search lights were lit, and almost instantly, we saw a vague shadow on the rock wall, which turned out to be a human figure.
I subconsciously moved. It wasn't my shadow. The person was inside the rock. I heard a heavy gasp from the side. Everyone was shocked by the scene in front of them. Wei Laosan swallowed, for fear of being alarmed. He seemed to ask in a low voice: "What is that?"
Oh my god, what did I see? I couldn't help but hold my forehead and looked at the big head with a look of disbelief, "Predator?"
Datou shook his head and said seriously: "They are just prey."
"What?" Now everyone was not calm. Seeing that his team members were all a little frightened, Maitreya warned Datou: "You'd better make it clear."
Datou looked at me seriously and said: "Now we are really in danger." After saying that, he took out a cigarette with trembling hands and lit it. He found a stone and sat down, took a puff to relax and then said: "I didn't Thinking that this thing really exists, you heard me right, the figures inside are prey, they were swallowed up just like us now."
"Don't talk nonsense, why, how is that possible?" One guy stuttered in a panic.
"It's up to you to believe it or not." The big head turned to me and said, "This thing is called Bodhisattva grass."
"Fuck, is there really Bodhisattva grass?" I was shocked. Now I believed why Big Tou looked so serious. If it is true, then our current situation is really very serious, and it can even be said to be precarious, with a narrow escape from death.
I looked around, I'm afraid it's not just here. If it's really Bodhisattva grass, then there are these weird corpses behind these rock walls.
I have only seen Bodhisattva grass in the handwritten notes left by the second master. It is a very weird and bloody anti-theft secret technique, but for hundreds of years I have never heard of any tomb robber actually encountering this kind of thing during the process of knocking on the coffin. The original name of Bodhisattva Grass is far away, and the second master has never seen it. The content in the handbook is what he has seen in other independent histories.
I reiterated to Datou: "Is it really Bodhisattva grass?"
Big Head flicked the butt of his cigarette and nodded silently.
I sat on the ground absentmindedly and looked up at Maitreya: "Didn't your master tell you that there is Bodhisattva grass buried under here?"
Maitreya shook his head, but when he saw Datou and I looked like this, he also guessed the current situation, and slapped his head: "Tell me, what on earth is this thing?"
I pointed to the faint crimson color in the stone walls and said to him, "No wonder those little ghosts dare not approach these rock walls. That's Bodhisattva grass."
