    The world's first crowdsourcing-driven asian bl novel translation community

    Since Li Ying provided clues about the mirror in the southwest, He Shu also did a detailed search of information before going out. The thirteenth year of Jianxing should be 235 AD.

    The previous year, that is, 234 AD, was the fourteenth year when Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, Liu Xie, gave Cao Wei the throne of Zen. Liu Xie's death meant that the last sense of existence of the Eastern Han in the eyes of the world was completely erased. This was once brilliant. The centuries-old dynasty disappeared with the death of the last emperor named Liu.

    But in 234, another important thing happened.

    "If I remember correctly, Fluke is the ancient name of our own clan. The Wa people were called Fluke and Rao in ancient times. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, they were unified as Wa." Little Tian said.

    She herself is a Wa ethnicity and a tour guide, so she can naturally speak to this passage.

    In other words, this stone statue was erected in the thirteenth year of the establishment of the Three Kingdoms, and it has been more than 1,700 years ago, far exceeding the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China they thought before!

    John couldn't help but marvel, and carefully touched the stone statue. Mange was worried about the poison hidden in the stone statue, and wanted to stop it, but John couldn't hold back his excitement and didn't care at all.

    "This is an encounter across time and space! More than 1,700 years ago, there was no name England at that time! How excited I am, I can glimpse an unknown scene in history here. This stone statue must have been built for your ancestors at that time. Established by the most respected figure in their clan, right?" John said to Little Tian.

    Little Tian was also heartbroken by what he said. He looked up at the stone statue with a solemn expression in the darkness, forgetting his embarrassing situation for a moment.

    "I have heard from the elders in the village that our ancestors once built a Wuhou Temple in Chailong Mountain to worship Prime Minister Zhuge who had great kindness to his own family. Maybe this mountain temple is actually the Wuhou Temple!"

    "You mean, the stone statue we worship now may be the famous Zhu Geliang!" John exclaimed, "I've heard of his name, Nakamura, he is also very famous in Japan, isn't he?"

    "Yes." Nakamura said solemnly, "The name of Marquis Zhuge Wu has long been a symbol of wisdom."

    But after the excitement, everyone still has to face a real problem.

    How to find a way out from here?

    If there is no way out, do they have to go back the same way? Not to mention whether they can return to the ground, even if they can, how to solve the mystery that they can't get out of all the time?

    He Shu has already begun to take Guanghan to explore everywhere - he has not searched here completely.

    The mound where the candles were dug up just now, there are still traces left. The mound is very small, just in the corner behind the stone statue. After worshipping, he left in a hurry. Before leaving, he seemed to expect that he would not be able to come over for a long time, so he buried the candle here so that he could light it again when he came over in the future.

    In addition, the incense table was empty, there were no melons and fruits, and there was no incense ashes. Except for the wet moss, there was not even a fruit plate left on the stone table.

    [These people should also come for the soul of the earth. 】

    He Shu grabbed Guang Han's hand and didn't let it go, and pulled him to a stop in front of a stone wall that seemed to be carved with something. He Shu's fingers tapped lightly on the back of Guanghan's hand, long and short, very rhythmic, and he drew a few times, as if he was writing something.

    This is still one time at home, with nothing to do. He Shu had a whim, and felt that if they encountered the situation of Xinhuan Building again, it would even be worse. They missed each other in different space and time. Said that they can leave some marks that only they can understand, so that even if they are separated, they can still use these marks to find each other.

    He Shu was too busy at the time, so he added some Taoist symbols into the Morse code, and invented a new Morse code that only he and Guanghan could understand. He even used this code to play tricks on Fengfeng. The little fat bird was so angry that he jumped up and down, He Shu the evils we bring upon ourselves are the hardest to bear. Afterwards, we bought roasted chicken wings for three days before smoothing them out.

    Never imagined that this set of Luo Shizi would really come in handy one day.

    [If I guessed correctly, what Jiang Siyin was being chased for in his dream should also be the soul of the earth. Didn't you say that the shape of the soul of the earth is like a mirror? There are also those two descendants. I don't think they are on the same side as the British. They obviously have their own abacus and don't know how to make do with it. If we let the two head descendants know that they also had a comrade killed by us, it is estimated that we will be in trouble. 】

    The meaning of such a large paragraph can save a lot of time by using password gestures, and it is easier to understand than writing in the palm of your hand.

    Among the three descendants, He Shu fought against one of them and killed him, but he would not despise Ne Win and Zhahe because of this.

    The reason why they were able to easily subdue Master Chaha was because on the one hand, they were preemptive and caught the opponent off guard. , Chaha hasn't even reacted.

    But Newin and Zhahe obviously had some other support. Fengfeng said before that some of these people would manipulate snakes to lead the way, but he didn't know which one it was.

    [Unless the dead can speak, no one knows. 】

    Guanghan wrote on the back of his hand, stroke by stroke.

    The opponent's fingers were thin, but the strength was not heavy, as if he was scratching his itch. He Shu subconsciously wanted to shrink his hand, but the opponent grabbed his wrist and fixed it as expected.

    Guang Han squeezed his wrist, signaling He Shu not to move.

    He Shu had to hold back and concentrate on continuing to sense the strokes on the back of his hand.

    [Not only the two descendants, but even Nakamura is not of the same mind as the British. 】

    He Shu opened his eyes slightly, but he didn't see it.

    [Don't Nakamura have a good relationship with the British guy? I thought he was invited by the Englishman. 】

    Guanghan: [He must have known about the existence of this ancestral hall early on, and he may even have known that this is the Wuhou Temple where the ancestors of the Wa people worshiped Zhuge, but he just said that half of it is hidden and half is hidden until Little Tian reveals the origin of this place. His face There was no unexpected expression on his face. 】

    He Shu: [You can read minds? It was so dark just now that you could see it. 】

    Guanghan: [My eyesight is better. 】

    This also shows that Guanghan is very concerned about Nakamura.

    He Shu's head moved, and then asked.

    [Is he the strongest among them all? 】

    [So far, yes. 】

    【Before we came, did you find anything? Are we going to keep looking for clues here, or are we making an excuse to get out of here? That British guy is too enthusiastic for Jiang Siyin. Maybe he will go back and say that the two were brothers in a previous life, and they have come to recognize their relatives in another life. I am afraid that the two of them...]

    "Jiang, I think our past life is likely to be brothers!"

    He hadn't finished writing here when John's voice sounded.

    He Shu's mouth twitched.

    What did he say, what is it that is not like a god?

    Perhaps it was He Shu's speechless reaction that made Guanghan laugh, he could feel Guanghan squeeze his hand and move it slightly.

    [What do you think, if I told the British guy in the past, I also had a dream that he owed me something and didn't pay it back, what would he look like? There's never going to be a family reunion, right? 】

    He Shu tapped like this on the back of Guang Han's hand, thinking of the exaggerated reaction on John's face, he wanted to laugh, but he had to endure it.

    Guang Han held the back of his hand and wrote two Chinese characters in one stroke.

    [Don't skin. 】

    It was clearly a language that was silently drawn with his fingers, but for some reason, He Shu felt as if these two words were being muttered in his ear, causing his auricle to numb slightly from his earlobe.

    He secretly scolded that he must have not seen the beautiful beauties for so long that everyone had hallucinations.

    The hand could not help but want to withdraw.

    But at this moment, Mange's men suddenly shouted.

    "There's something here!"

    The voice fell, the rumbling sound was deafening, and the whole ground trembled slightly.

    Before He Shu's hand could shrink, he was grabbed by Guang Han again. At the same time, the whole person was pushed to the back. Guang Han used his body and the wall to trap him in the middle, and the two retreated to the corner.

    "Little Tian, ​​they..."

    He Shu pushed him subconsciously, trying to call Little Tian and Jiang Siyin to avoid him, but found that Guang Han's figure was as stable as Mount Tai, motionless.

    "Don't move!" Guang Han said in a deep voice, without turning his head.

    He turned his back to He Shu, He Shu could not see his expression, but he could hear that his voice was extremely cold, which was quite different from usual.

    At this moment, He Shu didn't know what he was thinking.

    But He Shu can be sure that what the other party thinks absolutely does not include the safety of Little Tian and Jiang Siyin.

    Although Guanghan usually behaves like ordinary people, at this time, he seems to be an inhuman god statue, even colder than the stone statue in front of him. He was aloof and kept out of the way, watching those people in a chaotic mess in the intertwined light and dark, as if he could see through the hearts of the world. If there was anything else in this world that could entangle him, it was already protected by him.

    He Shu's thought of rushing over to check on Jiang Siyin and Little Tian was unknowingly replaced by another matter, he was keenly aware of Guanghan's unusualness.

    "Guanghan." He shouted softly, as if to call back to the usual Guanghan.

    The other party was motionless, like the stalwart mountains and mountains, Yuanting Yuezhi, Lonely Moon Lingling, but there was no response.

    He Shu suddenly thought of a wild beast walking on the grassland with lush and hidden trees, staring at the antelope that was unaware of it in the distance, ready to pounce on it at any time.

    "Old Han? Hanbao? Hanhan?"

    Guang Han finally snorted, like a signal, a signal that the alert was lifted, and the gods who never knew whether to be happy or angry suddenly returned to ordinary people with flesh and blood.

    He Shu breathed a sigh of relief, and then focused all his attention on the changes ahead.

    The corner where they were located was the closest to the door and would not be splashed by the waterfall outside. Even if the sky was torn apart, it should be the last place where the stone fell.

    On the other hand, on John's side, when Mange's men were inspecting the temple, they actually climbed up the tall stone statue, and didn't know what they found on top of the stone statue's head, and even stretched out their hands to dig down, which triggered the sudden shock.

    "My hand, my hand is stuck in and can't come out!" Mange's subordinates shouted in pain.

    Most of his arms fell into the grooves on the top of the statue's head and were tightly twisted.

    At the same time, the stone walls on both sides of the gate rustled and fell rubble, but after the rubble, the entire wall did not fall off because of this, revealing the splendid side behind it.

    The whole temple lit up in an instant!

    Everyone was dumbfounded.

    Nakamura walked over first and couldn't wait to take a light to take a picture.

    I don't know if the two stone walls are pasted with platinum or bronze, and there are many patterns engraved on them. He Shu glanced over and saw many villains gathered together. Before he could take a closer look, Mange's men saw He screamed again.

    "My hand is broken! Help me! Help!"

    Accompanied by the words, the dull movement sounded loudly, startling everyone who had been attracted by the golden wall, and once again looked at Mange's men on the top of the stone statue.

    I saw that the other party tried to pull out his arm, but he broke his hand, and the part below the elbow was all left in the groove on the top of the stone statue. call, painful.

    The flashlight flickered, and there were deep stains on the ground where light and dark intersected, showing the blood that splattered on the ground when he pulled out his arm.

    Brother Mang's men hurriedly surrounded him and helped him urgently bandage.

    "I already said that there are hidden dangers everywhere. You don't believe it. Now I just want an arm. It's not fatal, so I should be happy."

    Onmyoji Nakamura just turned his head and gave him a cold look and dropped those words.

    Although Nakamura's words were ugly, He Shu felt that what he said this time was not farting, and it was reasonable.

    The appearance of such a temple and an ancestral hall in the underground river of the virgin forest is already very strange. It can only show that there have been human footprints here. What kind of simple people can people who can come here to build? The consequences of being reckless and not believing in evil and disrespecting the master of the temple are just like what Mange's subordinates are like now.

    But he made a mistake, and he actually opened the door to a new world for everyone.

    At least no one thought that there was a layer of golden wall behind this stone wall.

    "It's not gold, it should be bronze."

    John approached the test with a lighter, and said after a moment.

    Although bronze is called bronze, its original color is not cyan. The alloy of pure copper and lead or tin can initially appear as golden yellow or orange. This is one of the important reasons why ancient nobles loved it. The cyan bronzes seen in the museum are just the appearance of the surface after corrosion and oxidation because of the age.

    And here, in such a humid environment, with only one layer of stone wall protection, the two bronze walls can still retain their original golden color, which is mysterious enough in itself.

    The emergency lights were shining on the golden wall, and everyone was concentrating on the pattern on it.

    There were those who fought on the battlefield, those who persuaded Nongsang to fight, and those who reveled in the fire.

    The pictures on the two golden walls have only one theme, that is, the Central Plains Dynasty dispatched officials to the remote areas of ethnic minorities for education, bringing crops seeds and iron cavalry farming tools from the Central Plains. Famous for future generations.

    It is a very common theme. In the history education that every Chinese has received since childhood, there are nine out of ten such stories.

    If there is anything special, it is the Central Plains official who is guarded in the middle as the protagonist. The four murals describe the uniform dress, the crown and sacrificial clothes, which are typical of the official occasions of the Qin and Han Dynasties to the Three Kingdoms period.

    And the deeds of Zhu Geliang who first conquered the southwest in order to conquer the Central Plains in the north were seen in history during the Three Kingdoms period and did exist.

    So, the protagonist in this portrait, together with the stone statue in this temple, are really all Marquis Zhuge Wu?

    Is this a Wuhou Temple commemorating Zhu Geliang?

    Then a new problem arises.

    This man with a long-standing reputation has been conferred by emperors in successive dynasties. He is not the kind of obscene sacrifice at all. If you want to worship him, you can be generous and upright, so why bother to build a hermitage here? , Immediately portrayed?

    If it is used as a place of refuge, it will be even more unreasonable. The simpler and concealed the refuge is, the better. The concealment here is concealed enough, but it is simple but impossible to say. It is only how these golden walls are transported and how the stone statues are erected. It is worth a year and a half of archaeologists to study.

    Not only He Shu, but many people present fell into the same contemplation.

    At this moment, Jiang Siyin suddenly called out.

    "You look at the stone statue, as if... Are you crying?!"

    The crowd suddenly turned their heads and looked at the sound.

    Several beams of lights then hit the stone statue's face.

    But saw the stone statue's two eyes that had already retreated from the surface of the splendor, were gushing blood outside!

    Blood flowed from the corners of his eyes and slid down the bridge of his nose, which was terrifying at first glance.

    "Grandpa Azu, don't take offense, we passed by this place, no offense, please be merciful, please show us a way out!"

    Little Tian murmured, knelt down on both knees, and began to kowtow.

    She once said that the ancestors of the Wa ethnic group had some origins with Zhuge Wuhou, and later generations even affectionately called Wuhou Azu Grandpa.

    Looking at her piety, He Shu suddenly remembered a common plot in martial arts novels. The protagonist kowtows to a certain stone statue or bone, and he suddenly triggers an adventure and comprehends a magical power.

    But Little Tian's piety obviously didn't impress Marquis Wu, the stone statue was still weeping, on the contrary, Mange didn't believe in evil, so he climbed up to inspect it himself.

    This time, he didn't dare to stretch out his hand rashly, but just looked inside and tapped the surface of the stone statue twice with his fingers.

    "There should be a mechanism in it. The top of the head leads to the eyes, and the hand of Ahong is twisted. The blood flows from the grooves to the eyes. The inside of the stone statue should be hollow!"

    He came down from above and spoke his conclusions to the crowd.

    John agrees, because this conclusion is also the most logical.

    What stone statue shed blood and tears because of their trespassing. They stayed here for thousands of years before, why didn't they shed blood and tears, they shed it as soon as they came?

    Nakamura failed to find any clues on the bronze mural, and turned his attention to this side.

    "Since the stone statue is hollow, will there be a passage in it?"

    "Try it and you'll know." John motioned to Mange and the others.

    The group took out tools from their backpacks, and He Shu realized that they not only brought hot weapons, but also tools such as chisels and small axes.

    In contrast, He Shu and the others are really weak in force and empty-handed. If there is a conflict, the result can almost be predicted in advance.

    Little Tian turned pale with fright, and wanted to stop him, but was quickly pulled aside by Jiang Siyin's sharp eyes.

    "Are you crazy!" he whispered, "they have guns!"

    "They want to tear down the stone statue, but it can't be torn down!" Little Tian anxiously said, "It's the statue of Grandpa Azu, if it is torn down, there will be retribution!"

    Jiang Siyin smiled bitterly: "Have you not found it yet? They think that what they are looking for is in this temple. If they don't tear it down, they will definitely not let it go!"
