Chapter 209: Wreckage suddenly discovered?
"Oh?" Xie Yingmian raised her eyebrows.
Yu Lingye explained, "If there's an evil spirit on the mountain, and it's causing deaths in every household, then they should stay as far away from it as possible."
"They keep saying there's evil spirits at work, but they've only moved from the mountain to the foot of it. The villagers are so secretive about this mountain yet they refuse to leave. This is the biggest loophole."
Xie Yingmian thought it made sense: "It looks like they are guarding this mountain."
Yu Lingye nodded.
To be precise, the villagers of Lao Luwan should be guarding something in the mountains.
"Zang Song, follow."
Zang Song followed the fat woman quietly.
The fat woman was gone for about half an hour before coming back.
Her smile was a little forced. "Sorry to have kept you waiting."
"The elders initially disagreed with giving you a map to enter the mountain. I argued with them for a long time before they drew this map."
The fat woman handed a map to Xie Yingmian.
Xie Yingmian handed it to Yu Lingye.
Yu Lingye took a quick glance and put it away: "Let's go."
When Xie Yingmian and Yu Lingye left, the fat woman seemed to want to say something but hesitated, and in the end she said nothing.
Away from the village.
"What did you find?" Yu Lingye asked Zang Song.
Zang Song: "The fat woman lied."
"Where the giant stone is located is the altar of their clan."
"They are the guardians of the altar."
"Laoma is not a hunter, but the guardian of the altar. When Lao Ma was guarding the altar, a huge rock from outer space fell and destroyed their altar."
"It's true that Lao Ma fell seriously ill and died after touching the boulder and the strange symbols that appeared on it."
"There was a problem with the altar, and members of the tribe died frequently, nearly wiping out the tribe. It's also true that the elders led the tribe to live at the foot of the mountain."
"They guard the altar at the foot of the mountain and try to find a way to repair it, but they're wary of that giant rock. Over the years, the tribesmen they sent out to explore it have found nothing. Those who stayed too long would get sick and die, so fewer and fewer people have gone to repair the altar in recent years."
Zang Song doesn't talk often, but he said so many words in one breath, and then he paused for a while before continuing.
"They are divided into two factions. One faction is older and they believe that the ancestral rules cannot be abolished and outsiders cannot be allowed near the altar."
"The other group is younger, mostly composed of plump women. They believe their tribe has already lived a stable life and has successfully integrated into the surrounding villages. They believe being an ordinary villager is fine. As for the destruction of the altar, it was God's will, and their tribe should no longer live by guarding the altar."
"The fat women group accounts for a large proportion of the population."
"They argued for a long time, but there was no conclusion."
"Later, the fat woman said that the prince and princess had such detailed information, so they must know about the giant stone and might be able to get rid of it."
"Then they changed their minds and gave us the map."
Xie Yingmian sighed, Yu Lingye was right.
"Did they mention Lao Huang?" Xie Yingmian asked.
Zang Song said: "No."
Xie Yingmian was puzzled.
Xiao Qingyan was talking about going to Wuming Lane to find a man named Lao Huang.
The nameless lane was found, but Old Huang was not.
Yu Lingye said, "Maybe they were quarreling for Zang Song to see. It's hard to tell whether it's true or not. Regardless, let's go over and take a look."
winter.
The mountain in Wuming Lane is littered with dead grass and branches, in a mess.
The mountain road has long been covered with weeds.
If they wanted to go into the mountains, they needed to clear a path first.
Fortunately, the map is real.
In recent years, people from Lao Luwan would occasionally go up the mountain to explore. The mountain road was not abandoned and only needed to be cleared before it could be used.
The mountains are deep and high.
The deeper you go, the bareer the trees become.
Different from anywhere else.
Although the trees elsewhere are bare, there are piles of leaves or weeds under the trees.
The trees here have very few leaves and even fewer weeds, and are obviously dead trees.
When you go into the mountains, you can still see rabbits and pheasants coming out to look for food. The deeper you go into the mountains, not to mention pheasants and rabbits, even mice and ants are gone.
Xie Yingmian said, "The villagers are falling ill one after another, and the flowers and trees are withering and not growing. There must be a strong radiation source nearby. We need to act quickly."
They had no protective equipment.
It is not advisable to stay in the area where the radiation source is located for a long time.
Following the route on the map, we soon found the village ruins.
The altar is not far from the village ruins.
After walking forward for about a quarter of an hour, we saw the "huge rock" that the fat woman had mentioned.
When Xie Yingmian saw the huge rock, his forehead twitched unconsciously.
She took two quick steps.
When I saw the shape of the boulder clearly, my heart was pounding and my brows were furrowed.
The boulder in front of me is not a boulder at all.
This should be a huge piece of spaceship wreckage.
The wreckage is huge, about ten meters long, and about five meters wide and high.
The debris is the rear section of the spacecraft.
When the wreckage fell, the self-protection function must have been activated.
All the wings were folded up and emergency brakes were applied to open the temporary doors.
The rock-gray fuselage lay there, looking like a piece of stone from a distance.
Xie Yingmian couldn't describe how she felt right now.
"How did it get here?"
"How could it be here?"
She clearly came to see Lao Huang and to get the key to obtain the Stone of Immortality.
Lao Huang and the key were not found.
However, she found the wreckage of a spaceship that did not belong to this era!
Xiao Qingyan led her to Wuming Lane.
The relic she got belonged to the original owner's mother.
The original owner's mother, Xiao Qingyan, Xiao's parents, what roles did these people play in this?
What is the relationship between the original owner’s mother and the 29th century?
Why did the wreckage of this spacecraft appear in this era?
There is some wreckage here. Does it mean that there are also spacecraft wreckage elsewhere?
Is the Stone of Immortality also related to this wreckage?
Are there other people from the 29th century in this world besides her?
Countless questions came to mind.
Something seemed to flash through her mind, but she couldn't grasp it.
When she thought deeper, she was greeted with a sharp pain.
Xie Yingmian subconsciously covered her forehead.
The pain made her pale, and she staggered and almost fell down.
"Be careful." Yu Lingye supported Xie Yingmian, "If you feel uncomfortable, let's go back first."
"I'm fine." Xie Yingmian calmed down and said, "I want to take a closer look."
Without waiting for Yu Lingye to stop her, Xie Yingmian walked forward.
Looking closer, she became even more certain that this was the wreckage of a spaceship.
As for the villagers getting sick, it was just as she guessed, caused by radiation.
The materials used to build spacecraft in the 29th century were extremely radioactive.
Generally speaking, even wreckage will have a protective shield.
The protective cover failed to open, most likely because the wreckage was in emergency braking mode when it fell.
The man named Lao Ma accidentally touched something, resulting in incomplete braking and failure to open the protective cover. This caused the villagers to be exposed to radioactive radiation for a long time, and they became sick and died one after another.
The wreckage lay there for more than twenty years, covered in dust.
Xie Yingmian took a handkerchief and wiped the wreckage for a while, and finally found a place that looked like a panel.
She tried pressing it.
