Chapter 40 – Ancient Prophecy

Fatty didn’t understand and asked, ”What isn’t human? What is not human? If it’s not human, is it still a demon?”

I said: “Not that, I’m not just saying this, we have been together for almost a month, living with each other day and night, who is what is still not understand it. This child prophet net bullshit, the ancient people ignorant and backward, what we have not seen, these ghostly graphics can still be seen as a real thing?”

I said so on the mouth, the heart can not think so, this time I have to be more long a mindful, a lot of things in the world can not be predicted, the prophet of the ancient prophecy is not to respond to a few of us in the body, heck, that only God knows. Thinking of this, touched a black donkey hoof in the hand, to prevent the eventuality.

I also asked Shirley Yang: “Have you seen the wrong? There were originally five human figures painted on it, but after a long time, maybe some of them flaked off, leaving only four, is there such a possibility?”

Shirley Yang pointed to the carvings on the stone box for us to see: “This stone box is still well preserved, there is no trace of flaking, this is clearly four people, you see, the symbols on behalf of the person is very simple, a circle on the top is the head, a few thin lines is the body limbs, which does not happen to be four people.”

I looked carefully, indeed, as Shirley Yang said, she let me look at the stone box engraved on the first few graphics, these patterns are very simple, even I can see at a glance, the first picture is a child with a finger pointing to the sky, the ground there are a lot of people in all directions to avoid, those who are avoiding the people are probably some ordinary people and so on.

The second and third pictures are engraved with a tornado, which blew down a lot of houses, and the people who had previously taken shelter had safely escaped the natural disaster, and they gathered in front of the child to worship, and it seemed that the child could predict natural and man-made disasters.

The fourth picture on the stone box, depicting a child standing beside two adults, kneeling on the ground an old man, the lines of these characters are simple to the extreme, the performance of the old man is only in the representation of the head of the circle below, a handful of strokes of a mustache, although the composition is simple, but easier for people to understand.

The two adults in the picture is obviously higher than ordinary people, and in the carving process is also very delicate, not like carving ordinary people so grass, these two people may be the ancient legend of the saints, kneeling on the ground of the old man is obviously their servants, the remains of the old man in the stone room should be him.

It seems that Shirley Yang is completely correct, the owner of this stone box is a prophetic ability of the young child, I will go all the way to see, a stone painting, are some show this little child prophet achievements.

When I saw the last one, the neck really a bit of cool air, this stone painting, the old and young sitting next to the stone box, the chamber stood four people, these four people’s graphic ordinary can not be ordinary, simple can not be simple, is tall, short, fat and thin, or men and women, old and young, can not be seen, one of the four people are hands on the stone box to open.

This is the last stone painting on the stone box, after no longer, this stone box in what secret? The most important thing is that the stone box does not have any traces of having been opened, and the top is still sealed with cowhide paint.

I looked back at the rest of the four people, Shirley Yang is supporting the idiot Professor Chen, Ye Yixin passed out, the rhythm of the chest together and down very quickly, there is no medicine to her rescue, fat man sitting on the ground helplessly looking at her and shaking his head.

That’s right ah, definitely five people, if this prophecy is really accurate, then why we obviously have five people, the stone painting is painted with four people, my mind is spinning rapidly, to the possible situation thought over, but half a clue is not.

Is it possible that one of the five people is not a human being, but is controlled by ghosts and demons, or even like the fat man said, Shirley Yang is the reincarnation of the Queen of the Jingjie, I think these are all nonsense, very ridiculous, what reincarnation of reincarnation, I do not believe in it at all.

I don’t believe in reincarnation at all. So is the error in this ancient prophecy? I asked Shirley Yang what dynasty this prophet was from.

Shirley Yang said, “According to the Records of the Western Regions of the Great Tang Dynasty, the Prophet Sage of the Ancient Western Regions should be from the sixteenth century B.C., in the Central Plains during the Xia and Shang Dynasties, which was the first civilization period of the Ancient Western Regions, and it was about one thousand years earlier than that of the Thirty-Six Kingdoms of the Western Regions.”

I counted, secretly surprised, I can not imagine that so long ago ah, that’s all the more can not take these engraved in the stone box on the prophecy seriously, there is no rest of the prophecy stone paintings on it, maybe the prophet was confused, less painted a person, and then precise calculations are unavoidable errors, not to mention this kind of prophecy that traveled through the thousands of years.

I also asked Shirley Yang, from the stone paintings outside the stone box prophecy, can we see what will happen after we open the box? Will there be any danger?

Shirley Yang shook her head and said, “There are no more hints, but we are trapped in this palm-sized place, there is no way to go up to the sky, there is no door to enter the ground, there is no other way but to open the stone box to take a look, since the prophet foreknew that we came back to this place unintentionally, maybe he will point out how to get out.”

Fatty waited impatiently, grinning over, pushed me and Shirley Yang to the side, said: “you two studied half a day, what results have not been studied, so big a little kid, can fucking prophecy a head ah, you look at me, is not a broken box it, not locked … … …Right, he is not predicted that one of the four people reach out to open the stone box it, we call on this board with him, old Hu, come over to reach out to the hand, the two of us together hands.” Said to pull open the lid of the stone box.

Almost at the same time, unconscious Ye Yixin, suddenly convulsed, legs stirred, motionless.

We no longer care about the stone box, rushed over to see her, a test pulse, has no signs of life, she was slow to have acute dehydration, all the way running, and in the Zagrama mountain in the ghost of the cave is not light, at any time there is a life-threatening, can hold on to live to the present, it has been very difficult, just we did not expect her bias in the oil at this time withered, died so suddenly.

Three people a moment relative speechless, Shirley Yang embracing Ye Yixin’s body, falling tears, I sighed, just want to comfort her two sentences, but see has been crazy, grinning stupid Professor Chen from the ground stood up, walked to the stone box in front of the heel, a reach out on the pull open the lid.

The three of us were dumbfounded, all of this was exactly the same as the prophet’s prediction on the stone box, when he came in, there were five people, one person suddenly died, and then one person opened the box with his own hands, often described Zhuge Liang expects things like God, the gods, I think the old Mr. Kong Ming is not so accurate ah, the degree of accuracy of this prophecy is simply terrifying.

Shirley Yang afraid of delirious Professor Chen to cause any more trouble, busy pull his sleeve, let him sit on the ground to rest, the relationship between them, just like pro-uncle and niece, then Shirley Yang see Professor Chen crazy and stupid, heart a sour, can not help but cry out again.

I know Shirley Yang is an extremely competitive person, never show weakness in front of anyone, today in front of Fatty and I, two tears in a row, is really sad to the extreme, today she is under too much pressure, I do not know how to persuade her, so I can only let her sit next to Prof. Chen sobbing.

Fatty and I walked to the professor opened the stone box in front of the two people, to see what is actually inside, this stone box of the two cabinet doors in the front, has been pulled open, the sealing of the cowhide paint also came off.

Only to see inside is again two small stone door, the stone door is similarly also paste cowhide paint, above is also engraved with three pairs of stone paintings, these three paintings look at me straight cold sweat, a good half a day can not say.

Fatty looked at two eyes, did not understand, then asked me: “What is this painting on the painting? Old Hu you’re not scared by the stone painting, are you?”

I took a deep breath, tried to keep myself calm, and said to Fatty, “This painting is also a prophet’s prophecy ……”

Fatty asked, “What is the content of the prophecy? Does it say how we can leave this hellhole?”

I forcibly suppressed the frantic beating in my heart and said to Fatty in a low voice, “The prophecy says that one of the four people who opened the second layer of the stone box is an evil spirit ……”
