Chapter 6 Stone Box
At night, the tent was originally very quiet, but an abrupt sound broke the tranquility. Chu Feng's hands froze there and stopped all movements.
How can the cube stone make such a sound?
A gap appeared in the stone.
Chu Feng put it down, fearing that something might happen, and carefully observed it. He had experienced some strange things today, so he was extra cautious.
"Stone box?!" He was surprised.
The veins surrounding the stone once covered up this gap, but now it is only slightly opened, and it is clearly revealed.
In the early days, the stone box was too tightly seamed and integrated, and covered with spots, it was difficult to detect any differences.
Who will notice that this is a cube stone box? Three inches high, very simple.
At this point, Chu Feng was looking forward to it, because the stone box was somewhat mysterious, and he picked it up at the foot of Kunlun Mountain. He thought it was a stone at first, but who would have thought that there would be another world.
Chu Feng blocked the copper basin in the tent in front of him for defense, and then carefully opened the stone box to make the gap bigger.
"Crack!"
The lid came off, nothing unusual, no danger.
Chu Feng felt relieved and looked inside the stone box.
He has a little hope, what is sealed in it?
The inner space of the stone box is very small, there is only a very shallow groove, and it can hardly hold anything. It is obviously impossible to hide pearls and jade.
However, there is something in it.
In that groove, there are three shriveled seeds, completely filling it up, and nothing else.
Chu Feng was quite disappointed. The stone box he picked up in Kunlun Mountains was supposed to contain some kind of secret treasure, but unexpectedly, there were only three seeds.
A seed was black and shriveled long ago, as if deformed, seriously lacking in vitality.
The other seed is purple-brown, oblate, as if squashed, and it can be as big as a fingernail.
The last seed is slightly normal, except for the skin folds, it is still full, at least it is not deflated, the whole is round, but a little yellow.
Chu Feng was taken aback, just these three seeds? Two of them are still dry and out of shape, which is really... quite different from what I imagined.
I thought the stone box I picked up from the foot of Kunlun Mountain was a bit mysterious, maybe it contained something extraordinary, but it turned out to be so ordinary.
He put the three seeds in the palm of his hand and looked at them carefully, there was really nothing surprising about them.
How many years has this thing been buried in the ground? It's hard to judge, but judging from the age of this stone box, it is definitely old enough, and the lines and marks are blurred.
Is this something ancient?
However, if it is an ancient relic, the three seeds have not rotted after being unearthed, which is not bad.
Some ancient things that are sealed underground may be destroyed immediately once they see the light of day.
Chu Feng looked again and again, but he couldn't recognize what kind of seeds they were. He had never seen them before, so he didn't know which three plants they should correspond to.
He was a little speechless, just now he still had the fiery idea of peeping at the secret treasure, but now he is staring at the three dry seeds in a daze!
"Look for an opportunity to plant and see what can grow." Chu Feng pondered.
It's just that the three seeds have gone through a long time, and he is a little worried whether they can still germinate, and two of them are shriveled.
"If it can be grown, don't let it be poisonous weeds. If beans or vegetables grow by then, they will probably be considered ancient varieties." He smiled.
The starry sky on the plateau seems to be very close to the ground, the stars are shining brightly, and the moonlight is like water, falling on this desolate and somewhat barren land.
Late at night, very quiet.
In a haze, Chu Feng heard a huge animal roar coming from the direction of Kunlun Mountain, echoing among the mountains, which woke him up from his dream.
The place where I stayed was very far away, and it was amazing to hear the dull roar of the beast in the middle of the night.
Obviously, something was happening in Kunlun Mountains. The sound didn't sound like the roar of the mastiff and yak, but other beasts appeared.
Vaguely, the ground of that mountain range was trembling slightly, and it was transmitted, and it became more and more unsettled.
Some herdsmen were awakened, prayed devoutly, worshiped at the top of the holy mountain, and murmured something.
Chu Feng also got up and walked out of the tent, he heard the words of an old herdsman.
"The people in the mountains really woke up."
Chu Feng was puzzled, even if there were ancient monks, how could it be accompanied by the roar of beasts?
"You don't understand, this is a legend in our Tibetan area, you should leave as soon as possible tomorrow morning," said the old herdsman.
"Is it possible that those sacred beasts in the mountain are about to come out?" Another middle-aged man said.
Legend has it that there are several sleeping ancient beasts on the sacred mountain deep in the plateau, some of which are comparable to gods, with infinite power and can cast down demons, and some are extremely ferocious and will cause disasters.
When Chu Feng heard the words, he thought for a while. Although he didn't believe them all, he didn't think what the Tibetans said was groundless.
After all, he had personally experienced the incident at the Bronze Mountain, and indeed saw some strange beasts.
For example, that golden ominous bird is five or six meters long. If it was in ancient times, it would probably be called the golden-winged roc.
The shiny black yak is more than ten feet long, even leopards and green wolves are afraid of it, its strength is boundless, and the bronze mountain that once trembled when it stepped on it, if it was in ancient times, it would probably be called a bull demon.
Some ancient legends are exaggerated and become myths over time. Especially when the ancients recorded anecdotes, every time they exaggerated, it must be the same here.
In the second half of the night, the empty plateau finally became quiet, and the dull roar of beasts in the distant mountains disappeared.
The moonlight is like water, falling like thin smoke, it seems to be connected with the starry sky, hazy and peaceful.
The herdsman no longer worried, let out a sigh of relief.
Chu Feng also returned to the tent and fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, Chu Feng started on the road early in the morning, and then made his way to a huge city in the west, where he was going to board the train home.
In the post-civilization era, after reconstruction, although it is not as splendid as in the past, the gap is not very huge, and various means of transportation are still relatively convenient.
During these days, Chu Feng has been in the wild and cut off contact with the outside world. Now that he enters the giant city, he feels as if he has passed away.
He has been in the plateau, desert, and mountains, and the communication tools on his body have been turned off. When they are turned on again, many messages are transmitted at the same time.
His parents told him to be careful and pay attention to safety when he was out alone, and some classmates and friends asked him when he would go back and other news.
Chu Feng replied one by one until boarding the train.
Apart from buying a bunch of snacks, he took very little with him, which he disposed of on the way back.
After finding his place and putting down his things, he held the communicator in his hand and began to read the news of these days, and was immediately amazed.
Over the past few days, there have been heavy fogs all over the country, even in foreign countries. There are light blue, dark red, and purple fogs, and they fall on a large scale.
Some people say that this may be caused by the nuclear radiation left over from the war that year.
But experts immediately refuted the rumors, telling the public that everything is safe, this is just a mist in nature, and it will be fine after it disappears, so there is no need to panic.
There is also another voice in the polls, saying that this is an accident, just like the few times in history, it has affected all over the place.
Regarding this, no one dares to strongly deny it, because it is not the first time in the post-civilization era, and the water inside is very deep.
"What's the matter? There are plants emerging in midair. It's really strange."
After the train started, a fat man walked up to him and sat down. He should be about the same age as Chu Feng, with a medium build, a big belly, a fleshy face, and big ears. When he laughed, his eyes narrowed into two slits. Like Maitreya.
He has a special sense of festiveness, and when he is not speaking, he is also a little kind-hearted, smiling, and the more he looks like Maitreya Buddha.
Chu Feng laughed immediately, this person is definitely not annoying.
"Brother, where are you going?" Fat Duner greeted him familiarly.
"At the foot of Taihang Mountain." Chu Feng responded with a smile.
"We're not fellow villagers, are we? Tell me the exact location." The fat man laughed.
After asking, the destination of the two was really the same, and they both felt a lot closer, as they were from the same place.
The fat man's name is Zhou Quan, a very "safe" name. He used to study in the west.
Chu Feng also noticed the news that Zhou Quan said. Recently, it was reported that some strange suspended plants appeared in the sky, which was a bit weird.
"I don't understand why they don't fall!" Fatty Zhou muttered.
Chu Feng was puzzled after reading the news.
"It's not going to happen, is it?" Zhou Quan gritted his teeth.
"I hope you are safe and sound, this world is becoming more and more incomprehensible." Someone next to him said.
"Yeah, it's best if your wife is plain, it's a bit disturbing."
This seemed to resonate, with some echoing.
"It is estimated that something will happen sooner or later. There have been many unexplainable mysterious phenomena over the years, and various rumors have come out." Someone whispered.
The place is suddenly lively, and there is everything to say.
Two hours later, Zhou Quan and Chu Feng became very familiar. After all, they are from the same place and they are naturally close.
He leaned over, and said to Chu Feng mysteriously, "I heard from a relative a few days ago that he knew a strange person and said that the world is about to change drastically."
"What will change?" Chu Feng asked.
"There will be some nagging things." Fatty Zhou said in a low voice.
"I think you are more like a godsend." Chu Feng said with a smile.
"Really, don't believe me, my relative is not a chatterbox. He is usually very rigorous and reliable, and the level of contact is very unusual." The fat man stared.
Chu Feng smiled and shook his head.
The fat man was a little discouraged, and said: "Actually, I don't quite believe it either. That strange man was talking nonsense, and the few words he revealed hinted that some mythical characters in the West were born. He said that our side is similar."
"puff!"
A person next to him was drinking water, and when he heard it, he sprayed out a sip of water, laughing non-stop.
"Go, go, go, what's so ridiculous, don't talk about it!" The fat man also felt embarrassed.
