Chapter 12 Boundaries
The team members also saw the pattern. It was nothing unusual. It was just a few circle-like arcs. It was very simple. Da Niu laughed and patted Xiao Daozi on the shoulder: "You drew this? Why is it so ugly?
.”
"Fart, this tree is the sacred tree of the Kachin people. This mark proves it. This tree is used by them to worship the forest god. Why is that dandelion carved on it?" Xiao Daozi said with a strange expression.
Zhao Bankuo looked up along the knife hand and immediately saw the two rows of English letters next to the pattern. Those "dandelions" here were not one, but turned into a large string, like two pairs of couplets, very neatly
It extended towards the top of the tree.
Daniel pushed the knife and said, "Damn, what's so weird about this? Since this thing is carved like this, why don't you just go up and take a look?"
Xiaodaozi ignored him, but looked at Liao Guoren and said: "Captain, I am a Kachin, you know I can't climb this tree."
Liao Guoren nodded, turned around and asked, "Who else can climb trees?"
A dwarf who didn't speak much had quick hands. Zhao Bankuo remembered that his name was Cao San. He took off his equipment in a few seconds, took a dagger and an M1911 pistol, and climbed up the tree by pulling on the branches.
Not long after the people below waited, Cao San said from above: "Captain, there are several tree holes here."
"Tree hole? What's strange about the tree hole?" Liao Guoren was a little surprised.
"No, captain, there are a few things in the tree hole." Cao San said.
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Daozi immediately walked towards the forest. Obviously he knew what was inside. Zhao Ban
Kuo raised the muzzle of his gun under conditioned reflex, and the military doctor gave him a funny look.
Boom! Boom!
Two large objects were thrown from the tree and smashed into the ground. Everyone gathered around to take a look. They were two stone men, about half a man tall, with round heads and square bodies. Their facial features were somewhat roughly carved. Although they could not be said to be lifelike, they looked
But it is quite expressive. The mottled surface is carved with vertical and horizontal patterns, and it looks like it has been around for a while.
As soon as Daniel saw it, he exclaimed: "Ahem, why is this thing so ugly? It looks like a fucking monster!"
Liao Guoren looked in the direction of the knife, probably because he was afraid that the bull would be disrespectful to the knife by calling the stone man a monster, so he whispered: "What nonsense are you talking about." Wang Sixao looked down for a few times and shook his head: "Myanmar is a Buddhist country.
Countries generally enshrine Buddha, but this kind of thing cannot be said to be a sacred object. How can the Kachin people put it on their sacred tree?"
Liao Guoren called Xiao Daozi back and asked him to look at the stone man. Xiao Daozi's face turned even paler the moment he saw the stone man, but he just frowned tightly and stared at the stone man without saying a word.
Everyone felt strange when they saw Xiao Daozi's expression, but because of his faith, they were too embarrassed to ask.
When Cao San came down from the tree, he heard that there was more than one such stone figure in the tree holes above. There were four trees with large holes dug out, and these things were stuffed inside. Four trees.
There are four tree holes in the tree, corresponding to four stone figures. There are also many broken bones falling in the holes, whether they are human or animal.
After speaking, Cao San took out another piece of bark and handed it to Liao Guoren, saying that there were some strange symbols carved next to the tree hole.
Circles, hooks, etc., he just peeled off a piece.
Zhao Bankuo saw that there were indeed some pit marks on the bark. At first glance, the direction and shape looked like writing, but upon closer inspection, they looked very strange and he couldn't tell what they were.
The strange tree hole, the stone man, and the bark symbol. These three things may be some kind of curse or sacrificial object from the local indigenous people. Zhao Bankuo found it interesting. Liao Guoren beside him rubbed the bark in his hand and threw it away.
On the other hand, he looked at the small knife and said loudly: "Don't worry about it. Since this thing was made by the Kachin people here, maybe it is their offering to the gods. It has nothing to do with us. Let's rest for a while and continue on our way!"
The Kachin people are the indigenous people living in this primeval forest. They are as mysterious as Yeren Mountain and are rarely seen by ordinary people.
The group of people looked at the two stone men again. Daniel even kicked them a few times, but didn't find anything weirder, so they gave up.
Several people were about to get up and clear the way, but Xiao Daozi standing on one side suddenly said: "Captain, we can't go any further."
Liao Guoren stopped suddenly, turned around and asked, "Daozi, what do you mean by this?"
"The stone man is not an ordinary thing. It was indeed placed here by the indigenous people, but it is definitely not an offering to the gods. I have heard my father say since I was a child that many places in the Savage Mountain are dangerous, and people can't get out as long as they go in. The indigenous people
In order to warn future generations, our ancestors set up some things on the edge of these places, including stone men, in order to warn future generations to use this as a boundary and stay away from those places." Little Knife's voice was low, "That's right.
