Chapter 37 Nest (Part 2)

There is a special tacit understanding between Xiaohua and I, maybe because the backgrounds are so similar, or maybe there is an inexplicable bond between the Jie family and the Wu family, so this feeling makes me feel no embarrassment or awkwardness. Feel. On the contrary, I could understand how he felt now, so I sat down quietly.

The wind under the setting sun has a hint of coolness. This is a completely different world. You can only understand it by sitting here. There is no way to go down or to other places. All you have is a few rocks around you. , and there are abysses on both sides, and the mist slowly condenses under your feet. I sat on this 100-meter-high solitary peak and looked around. There were similar solitary peaks in the distance one after another. Suddenly, I had a wonderful illusion, as if I am an immortal. As long as I put my feet together, I can fly up from the top of the cliff, step on the sea of ​​clouds, step on the solitary rocks on the thousands of peaks, and fly to the snow-capped mountains.

Immediately I understood those cultivators very well. In that era, when they climbed to the top of the mountain rock and saw the scenery in front of them, under the charm of this extreme fairyland, it was indeed possible to cut off the only rope and kill the immortals. I was trapped on this cliff.

There was nothing to say that night, and we only ordered two sets of equipment because of time constraints. At the same time, we didn’t want to be too showy when we did it. Xiaohua said that it was enough to rely on the two of us for the time being. We had two days to do the initial search and wait until the old woman and the others on the other side. After arriving at the lakeside of Banai and preparing everything, we can take the next step.

Mrs. Huo firmly believes that the other half of the Zhang family building is buried deep under the lake. Buried under the building are the remains of the ancestors of the Zhang family. In order to conceal their identities, these people would cut off their right hands before they were buried, and then seal the coffins with molten iron. The Zhang family is so mysterious that for hundreds of years With endless inheritance and almost no spread, where did they come from and what are they doing in this world? Why do they have to seal their coffins with molten iron after death? Could it be that what Mrs. Huo really said is that they are monsters and their bodies will undergo extremely abnormal and dangerous changes after death?

No one knows why Xiang Lei built this completely dark Zhang family ancient building for them to store the remains hundreds of years ago. How did they reach some kind of consensus with the emperor at that time?

I thought of the solitary huge coffin in the center of the last floor of the ancient building in the Lei pattern. That floor should be the location of the earliest ancestors of the Zhang family. In the late 1970s, the archaeological team's first mission was the destination there. What would they see there?

If it were before, I would have been annihilated by strong curiosity, but now I feel that the things there must be something I don't want to see, and they won't be good things.

That night I hung in the claw "nest" on the cliff, with the safety rope tightly fastened around my waist, and lay in my sleeping bag. A small gas lamp was hung above me, illuminating a fan-shaped bright area. Xiaohua went to bed early. A few hundred meters below me, we could see the firelight of several people below. The sound was carried to the sky by the cross wind and sounded like ghosts, but we couldn't hear clearly. This kind of sleep made me feel dreamy. I never imagined that I would encounter this situation before. However, I fell asleep without struggling for a long time.

It's so calm that I feel terrible. Before I went to sleep, I suddenly realized that I had really changed.
