Chapter 26: Heading towards the Oasis (Part 2)

Among the moss is a stone carved statue of a god with a human face and a bird body. It is the same carving style as the pottery we found in an ancient shipwreck. It is a carving of the real Queen Mother Kingdom of the West. After thousands of years of corrosion, the surface of the stone carving is covered with dendrobium, which looks blurred.

After I removed all the dendrobium on it, the carved whole appeared. It was a standing statue, which was directly carved from the cliff. The bird's head was a strange female face that looked like a human being, with two pairs of eyes, expressionless and extremely cold. Five skulls were carved under both feet, and the bird stood on two of the heavenly spirit covers. It seemed that these skeletons were all leftover bones.

The fat man looked down and exclaimed: "Oh my God, Xiao Wu, isn't this the fuck..."

After I jumped down to see the whole stone sculpture, I took a breath of air conditioning.

It turned out that the stone statue with human face and bird body in the cliff cave was almost exactly the same as the strange bird seen in the cracks underground in Changbai Mountain.

The carving shape is extremely vivid. Looking at the surface of the rocks, it should be coated with pigments when it is repaired. If it is not covered with moss, if you see it in this dark jungle, you will definitely think that strange bird has flew here from Changbai Mountain.

Everyone showed a look of surprise, and even the oil bottle seemed very surprised. Everyone here had visited Changbai Mountain. When they saw these stone sculptures, they could not help but recall the terrible situation at that time.

Fatty and I hurriedly started to work and scraped the carvings of several other caves one by one. We found that there were the same stone sculptures of human-faced birds inside, both large and small, with different shapes.

Aning took a breath and said, "It seems that we have inferred correctly before. The human-faced raptor in Changbai Mountain is the prototype of the totem of Queen Mother of the West - the Three Blue Birds. Queen Mother of the West may have some ancient techniques that we do not understand and can tame such strange raptors. The underground tombs in Changbai Mountain should be related to the disappearance of the Queen Mother of the West and the mysterious migration of the remains. Those strange birds may have lived in this oasis, but later brought them to the east to the dismembered remains and acted as guardians of the tombs."

I said, "Yes, I always feel that the terrain here is so similar to the terrain of the underground imperial tomb of Changbai Mountain. They are both in a huge crater-shaped basin. It seems that it may be a copy of the Queen Mother Palace in the West. Our experience in Changbai Mountain can only be regarded as an exercise, and this is their real home."

The fat man wiped his sweat and said, "Grandma, as you say, this is the hometown of those ghost birds? Then, wouldn't we go in like this and die?"

It's really hard to say. I turned around and smiled bitterly, Aning said, "That won't be that after so many years, the climate here has changed drastically. Large areas of grassland have condensed into this oasis. There are too few foods. This kind of bird may have disappeared here. The ones seen in Changbai Mountain may be the only remaining fruits. However, no matter what, the Queen Mother Kingdom of the West uses blue birds as its patron saint. There is such a totem here, which means that we have entered the boundary of the Queen Mother Palace. The carving of this cave totem is not only a sign to outsiders, but also a warning. We have to be more careful later."

We all nodded, and the fat man said, "Damn, thank you for your noble words, these ghost birds are really extinct. Otherwise, if I have implicated me, the lieutenant of the Touching Jin will be extinct."

The fat man’s concerns are also ours. We looked at each other and had nothing to say, and our expressions were very complicated.

After delaying for a while, Aning took photos of the stone statues and looked around, but no more than the stones were found. The oil bottle let us set off.

We took a last look at the caves, cheered up, left the cliff, and continued to walk towards the depths of the canyon. Perhaps because of the influence of the cave statues, at that moment, I felt a sense of anxiety begin to envelope the jungle, and we seemed to be walking into a strange world that no one understood.

After leaving the grottoes on the stone wall, we adjusted our mood and continued to move towards the depths of the canyon.

Because of the influence of stone sculptures in the grottoes, we walked very carefully, paying attention to every movement in the jungle, for fear of encountering the ambush set up by Queen Mother of the West a thousand years ago.

However, as we went deeper, nothing strange happened. There was nothing wrong with it, and even other relics of the Queen Mother Kingdom of the West were not seen. Only the rainforest became denser and dense, with a tangled lineage, covering the sky, as if we were far away from the Queen Mother's palace, rather than approaching. Later, our eyes were blurred, and we felt that there were green and entangled vines everywhere, as if we were walking through a bowl of green and moldy dragon beards.

Only then did I realize what the concept of "jungle" is. The woods I passed through in Shandong and Qinling Mountains are simply traveling compared to here. I may not be able to move forward for a kilometer there or a hundred meters here. It is simply difficult to walk. Looking at Pan Zi's resolute face full of sweat, I don't know how they survived the war back then.

I kept moving forward until the forest fell dark, and the canyons on both sides became silhouettes, and we didn't move much.

There was no one talking in the team, only the sound of breathing and the sound of slapping mosquitoes.

The fat man was confused and had hysteria. He hummed a mountain song in front to refresh himself, and sang why the flowers were so popular.

"Why are the flowers so red? Why are they so red? He is so red, as if they are burning fire." He is the pioneer. At the front of the team, he can also refresh us at the same time. You can't count on the sing of the oil bottle to do this.

However, the fat man sings are really ugly, and he is not singing seriously, so it sounds like he is summoning souls.

Pan Zi couldn't listen later and scolded him for being so hot here, so you can't sing a little cooler?

The fat man said, what do you know? This is a song by the visitor on the iceberg. When I sang it, I remembered the glaciers in Changbai Mountain, which can be cooler.

Pan Zi said, "Can't you sing a white-haired girl?" It's more direct and can save you from association."

The fat man said I fuck you and ordered a song. Do you really think I am a radio station and sing whatever I want. I sing it to you to give you face. I don’t have so many opinions from him.

As he was cursing, thunder broke out in the sky, lightning flashed in the clouds, wind blew, and rain stars appeared in the air.

We all calmed down and looked up at the sky. Through the canopy, the dark clouds brightened. It seemed that lightning was shaking in the clouds, and the clouds pressed onto the top of the canyon. Aning sighed and said, "The road was on the side of the night and encountered wind and rain again. It seems that the Queen Mother of the West does not welcome us. We have suffered some of the injuries tonight."

The fat man said, "Down, it's best if it rains. It's cool when it rains. It's so stuffy. The eggs in my crotch of your fat man are about to hatch the chickens."

We couldn't help laughing when we heard this, Pan Zi cursed: "Then look at your chick, don't wait to hit the lightning in a moment."

Before we finished speaking, the rain really came down. At first, a few rain bombs hit our faces. Before we could react, heavy rain came. Suddenly, it seemed that the whole forest was quiet, and thousands of trees were silent. Then with a "boom", the entire canyon roared instantly, and the rain rushed in from the gaps in the tree canopy like a whip, almost knocking us down.

We didn't expect the rain to be so fierce. We caught it off guard and ran away with all our heads. Fortunately, we were at the bottom of the dense forest, with many big trees around us, with dense crowns, and a tree covered by vines. Under Aning's scream, we climbed up to hide from the rain.

Everyone squeezed together and seemed to be fished out of the soup. The fat man said that it was raining when I fucked this, but it was just the Dragon Prince who was urinating on our heads.
