Chapter 44 The Man in the Stone

The moment I first recognized it, I thought it was my own shadow. I moved a bit, but found that the shadow did not move with me.

The three of us seemed to have fallen into an ice cave, looking at the figure in the jade veins, we were all a little unable to stand.

"What is that?" I whispered.

"Only the devil knows." Fatty replied in the same tone, then paused, "It seems...it seems like a person?"

"How could it be a human? If it was a human, how did he get into this rock wall?" I asked.

The fat man looked at me and asked tremblingly: "Have you ever heard of the legend of the fish in the stone?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a series of goosebumps appeared on my body.

The Fish in the Stone is a story that often appears in fantasy novels. It tells that after someone opened a complete mountain stone, they found that it was hollow inside, with not only water but also a live fish in the water.

No one knows how the fish got into the stone, and no one knows how the fish survived. There was no food in the stone.

This phenomenon is often considered a miracle. There is fish in the stone. Since it does not come in from the outside, it is produced by the stone itself. Legend has it that eating this stone fish can lead to immortality, but some people say that eating it will kill you immediately.

The legend of the fish in the stone is very widespread and can be found in various places. It seems that it is not a fabrication. Fatty suddenly mentioned it now. Of course I know what he means, but I know that I know it. I really can't believe that that kind of statement can be used here.

"Impossible." I said.

“If there can be fish in the rocks, why can’t there be people?”

I took a breath, looked at the figure in the stone, and shook my head, "No way, this must be just a shadow that looks like a person."

"Isn't it? You will know if you keep splashing. There is more than one thing written on the ground." The fat man said.

We immediately repeated our old tricks and quickly filled the four walls with water.

As all the rocks were soaked, I found to my horror that the rocks nearby were really filled with humanoid shadows, with various movements.

The interior of the cave wall actually seemed to be inlaid with people.

After counting, it was exactly the same as what was recorded on the ground.

"What the hell!" The fat man sat down again, "No wonder Secretary Lei needs to take action. What the hell is going on?"

"Could it be a Kunlun fetus?" I remembered the saying that heaven and earth gave birth to sperm. Could it be that this was a treasure cave where jade became humanized under some mysterious power?

The fat man shook his head: "Kunlun Titus is just a legend after all, and it is said that they are all very large mountains. These shadows have weird shapes. I don't think they are a good thing, and..." He looked at the shelf with the iron figurines lying on one side, "I You may have made a wrong judgment just now. Look at the movements of these shadows, do they look very similar to those of the iron figurines?"

I was so surprised that I couldn't speak. The fat man then said with a pale face: "I know this is scary, but I saw that these tools here are all cast iron tools, and I suddenly thought of this possibility."

I looked at the figures and said, "Are you saying that these iron figurines are not means of transportation, but are used to seal the shadows they dug out?"

"I'm afraid it's more than that." The fat man corrected, "These iron figurines are probably what they have processed. They may have drilled holes in the rock wall first, and then filled them with iron slurry to freeze the people inside. Then smash it out."

I get goosebumps all over my body when I think of the countless iron figurines I saw in the basement of the ancient building. If so, how many of these things must have been unearthed here? Qiang smiled and said: "These are just our speculations."

The fat man's face was still pale, and he obviously felt that his thoughts were terrifying, and he added: "Actually, there is a way, which is to smash this stone now and see what the shadow inside is." He pointed. Pointing to the side of the masonry hammer.

I touched the rock wall in front of me. It was very thick and not easy to break. Suddenly I remembered the old legend of suppressing monsters. In ancient times, wasn’t it always said that God suppressed monsters and liked to suppress monsters under the mountains?

Holy shit! Are these shadows monsters?

If this is the case, wouldn't it be courting death to release them?

I aroused strong curiosity, and along with that kind of horror, I shook my head at the same time: "The previous craftsmen used such laborious methods to deal with it. It is obvious that the true form of these figures is very scary and ominous, even very dangerous. It is better not to move. .”

When the fat man heard what I said, he turned his head towards the oil bottle, as if he wanted to ask for his opinion.

Menyou Ping stared at those shadows and did not answer him, but said to us: "We are...actually the same as them."
