Chapter 250 Ancient temple and strangeness?
The air suddenly became quiet.
It was as if even breathing became cautious.
Because everything that just happened was really confusing.
Living in such a big world, everyone has never seen this scene before.
The people present looked at each other, their eyes searching each other's faces for confirmation. It seemed that even though a long time had passed, they still felt incredible and unbelievable about the scene in front of them.
Most people here have never seen a wild boar with their own eyes. I have never seen three wild boars howling and escaping in panic.
But basically everyone has heard more or less about wild boars and knows how terrifying wild boars are in nature.
For example, in the Northeast, there is a saying that there are one pig, two bears, and three tigers. This is not ranked according to combat effectiveness, but according to the degree of threat to people.
Wild boars are one of the easiest and most aggressive wild animals to encounter in the wild. Without weapons, it is almost impossible to deal with wild boars with bare hands.
The skin of a wild boar is very rough and covered with short, hard hairs that repel moisture and protect the wild boar well. Wild boars also often roll in the mud, covering their bodies with mud, and rubbing their sides against tree stumps, rocks and hard river beds. Over time, their fur will wear into a hard protective layer, making the fur very tough and thick. .
This thick layer of defense meant that if three wild boars rushed into their group of unarmed people, most people would have to be seriously injured before they could cooperate to kill the three wild boars.
Of course, such a concerted effort is impossible.
The most likely scenario is that after the wild boar killed two or three of them, the rest of them fled in all directions, and most of them should be able to survive.
But now.
The development of things is different from what everyone thought.
The three wild boars lost their usual composure and ferocity at that moment.
As if he had turned into a panicked clown, he staged an escape story in front of everyone.
Every cry and clumsy jump they made was like a drum beating directly in people's hearts, causing ripples and leaving everyone with a trace of doubt in their hearts.
This is……
What's going on? !
These three wild boars seemed to have encountered something incredibly terrifying.
Theoretically speaking, even if they encountered a blind bear or a tiger, they wouldn't be so scared.
But now, these three wild boars are getting hairy.
The urine and feces flowed into the distance.
Leaving behind a mess and the footprints of their arrival.
There is also the smell of wild boar excrement and the faint smell of human excrement mixed in the air.
Everyone's hearts are full of doubts.
But no one can give an answer at the moment.
The middle-aged team leader opened his mouth wide and closed his jaw with difficulty.
Although I regret not bringing a wildlife expert or hunter with me, and I don’t know what the situation is like now, it is always a good thing that the wild boars are gone.
There are no casualties now.
The next priority is to bring everyone back safely.
Except for the leader, the young man who was being chased finally relaxed.
When he staggered to a stop in front of everyone, his whole body showed an indescribable embarrassment and exhaustion, as if he had just narrowly escaped from a life-and-death struggle.
However, considering the appearance of the wild boar just now, it can indeed be said that this young man narrowly escaped from a life-and-death struggle.
Wild boars do not usually attack or eat humans.
They are mainly herbivores, feeding on roots, fruits, nuts, insects, etc.
However, not eating does not mean not attacking.
This young man is indeed very lucky to survive.
I saw the young man's eyes quickly scanning the crowd, and finally fixed on the leader.
It was a look that was both reassuring and ashamed, like seeing a relative.
"I...I'm lost..."
The young man spoke hesitantly.
Next.
The young man briefly and comprehensively told how he got lost.
Everyone listened with bated breath.
The young man's voice was slightly trembling, but gradually calmed down.
He said that he originally climbed over the barbed wire fence to explore the edge of the forest, but he made a mistake and deviated from the planned route.
There was no signal on the phone, and the compass was accidentally left somewhere.
In this way, step by step, we stepped into the unknown depths.
He tried to find his way back, but became completely lost in the dense woods and similar scenery.
He tried marking with sticks and stones, but it just seemed to go in circles.
Then he accidentally came to the wild boar's territory.
Having said this, he subconsciously looked back at the deep forest area, with a trace of fear flashing in his eyes.
"I thought I was fine after climbing over the barbed wire fence. Who would have thought that the rusty parts of the barbed wire fence were knocked open by them."
"I was so scared that I could only run, thinking that I couldn't stop no matter what. It wasn't until I heard your voice that I ran over like I had grasped a life-saving straw."
His words also brought everyone back to their senses.
They all looked at him with strange eyes.
Most of them are vaguely blaming and rarely sympathetic.
After all, their voices may be a life-saving straw for young people, but for all of them, it is undoubtedly an inexplicable death.
The middle-aged team leader didn't have time to blame the young man too much. There would be laws to punish the young man after he got off the mountain.
He cleared his throat and said, "Attention, everyone, we are going down the mountain from the other way immediately."
The top priority is to leave here immediately.
Now that wild boars have appeared, what we planned to do before will definitely not be done easily.
You have to go down the mountain immediately, and when there is a signal, you must immediately contact the people at the scenic spot to deal with the holes in the barbed wire fence and the situation of wild boars.
As for the road that the wild boar came and took again, it is certainly impossible to easily set foot on it again.
So everyone who had packed up early in order to prepare to find the young people quickly started going down the mountain following the leader's command.
Young people are also consciously keeping up.
He would rather go down the mountain and spend a few years in jail for his reckless behavior than stay in this dangerous place for any longer.
And Chen Yun and his party.
But he didn't continue to go up the mountain in this situation.
Chen Yun didn't care whether there were wild boars or not. He didn't care if there were ten thousand of them.
Shiraishi didn't care whether there were wild boars or not. The protective measures and gadgets he had prepared were enough to deal with up to five or six wild boars.
More importantly, he knew that if he stayed with Chen Yun, nothing would go wrong.
However, Sun Huiwen and Jiang Anping did not know these situations, so Chen Yun and Bai Shi simply agreed to the middle-aged leader's suggestion and took the two girls to follow those people down the mountain.
The mountain road that follows is different from when Chen Yun came.
However, as long as you are still within the scenic area surrounded by barbed wire, it is not difficult to walk.
Everyone moved forward along the opened road.
The sun shines through the sparse tree canopy, casting dappled light and shadow, adding a bit of tranquility and tranquility to this tense journey. The chirping of birds in the mountains kept coming and going, as if they were seeing them off, and the air was filled with the fresh smell of soil and leaves.
As the altitude gradually decreases, the surrounding scenery also changes quietly, gradually transitioning from dense virgin forest to more open forest glades.
Occasionally, you can catch a glimpse of a few wild flowers swaying in the wind, blooming with unknown beauty.
Just as everyone was immersed in this rare tranquility and gradually forgot about the tension just now.
Dark clouds suddenly gathered in the sky.
A sudden shower broke the current tranquility.
The raindrops grew from sparse to dense, and soon weaved into a dense curtain of water, blurring the line of sight ahead.
Upon seeing this, the middle-aged team leader quickly directed everyone to find shelter from the rain to avoid getting wet, causing colds or slipping injuries.
Fortunately, there are ruins of an ancient temple not far away.
It is hidden among the lush trees. Although it has been abandoned for many years, the remaining eaves still provide valuable shelter.
Everyone quickened their pace and hurried to the ruins of the ancient temple. The rainwater gurgled along the bluestone road, adding a bit of mystery and vicissitudes to the ancient temple.
After arriving at the ancient temple.
Everyone crowded under the still intact porch.
Shake the rain off your body and take a breather.
Chen Yun and his party did not get wet.
Almighty Shiraishi carries four umbrellas in his backpack.
But even if they had umbrellas, traveling in the rain wasn't a good idea, so they stayed with the group in an ancient temple to take shelter from the rain.
Chen Yun didn't care about the taboo of traveling on mountain roads on rainy days. He was even very interested in sliding all the way down the mountain roads on rainy days.
But considering the situation of other ordinary people, he didn't say much.
The rain dripped down the tiles, making a crisp sound, which was in sharp contrast to the wind and rain outside.
This ancient temple many years ago unexpectedly became a temporary haven.
The middle-aged team leader took the opportunity to count the number of people to ensure that no one was left behind. At the same time, he observed the weather and hoped that the rain would pass as soon as possible.
The rest of the people were looking around.
Although this ancient temple is dilapidated, it still retains some dignity and tranquility.
Although the remaining stone Buddha statues around have weathered, the exquisite craftsmanship of that time can still be seen.
This is part of the scenic area, and there are many similar ancient temples on the mountain.
All the cultural relics here have been moved to the exhibition hall in the small town at the foot of the mountain, so there is nothing else here except signs left by some scenic spots.
Because there was no signal on mobile phones, everyone was either chatting with each other or looking at some of the remaining stone carvings in this ancient temple.
Bai Shi, an international thief and art expert, explained to Sun Huiwen and Jiang Anping in a low voice in a very professional manner.
After all, as a top master of art appreciation and forgery, his professionalism in these religious cultures is definitely no less than that of most experts.
And on the side.
Chen Yun's eyes were deeply attracted by an incomplete Garuda stone sculpture.
Although he is not as proficient in religious culture as Shiraishi.
But he could still unearth Garuda in his memory that he had heard of once or twice.
Garuda, also known as the golden-winged roc.
Occupying an important position in Buddhist and Hindu mythology, it symbolizes strength, bravery and fearlessness.
Although this stone sculpture has been eroded by wind and rain, its wings and part of its body are missing. But from its smooth lines and remaining exquisite details, you can still feel the breathtaking majesty and solemnity.
The head of this Garuda statue is slightly raised. Even though the eyes are no longer distinguishable, the fierce aura seems to travel through time and space and directly hit people's hearts.
Although the wings are incomplete, from the remaining wing carvings, one can still imagine the magnificent scene when it spreads its wings and soars.
Chen Yun stared at this stone sculpture, and an indescribable emotion arose spontaneously.
The surrounding sounds seemed to fade away.
In a trance.
Chen Yun felt as if his soul was having some kind of silent dialogue with this ancient stone sculpture.
This feeling was so strange yet familiar to him, as if it had touched some dusty memories or hidden desires deep in his heart.
Something seemed to pop up in my mind, but it disappeared as if it were an illusion.
Chen Yun unconsciously reached out his hand and stroked his heart, which was beating so fast just now. At this moment, it had completely returned to normal.
Then he gently touched the cold surface of the stone sculpture.
The coolness coming from his fingertips seemed like a touch that traveled through time, making him have some kind of wonderful connection with the past at this moment.
But I want to describe this feeling in detail.
But it's so unclear.
The noise of the people around him and Shiraishi's explanation seemed to have become the background sound. Chen Yun's mind was completely immersed in the strange feeling brought by this Garuda stone sculpture.
It wasn't until a drop of rain slipped from the cracks in the tiles on the top of the ancient temple and brought a chill to the back of his hand that he suddenly came back to his senses.
I realized that I had been stunned here for a long time.
Looking around, it seemed that other people's activities had not been interrupted, but he was the only one who experienced a spiritual journey that belonged only to him in this moment.
Chen Yun stroked his forehead in confusion.
He didn't know what just happened.
Just after seeing and gazing at the Garuda statue carefully, I had a vague feeling of a thousand years at a glance, and time seemed to fly by a lot in this moment of gaze.
But now if you feel it carefully.
At this moment, there doesn't seem to be anything special or changed about my body.
It's like...
As if everything just now was just an illusion?
About this.
Chen Yun was a little unsure.
Confused, he went to touch the Garuda stone sculpture again.
This time, I felt nothing.
He used all his confused strength to release his ability to perceive the world transparently.
Everything within a radius of 600 meters can be seen.
This 600-meter range not only includes the circular area with him as the center, but also includes the spherical volume with him as the center.
The soil and rocks 600 meters underground can also be clearly seen.
And from this perspective.
Everything is normal, no different from ordinary perception.
It's like...
Everything just happened was indeed an illusion.
only……
Does he really still have delusions now?
Chen Yun was thinking, and he couldn't help but have a deep doubt in his heart at this moment.
