Shen Hong stopped to think, before continuing, "The ancient books say that the best stalactites are bright in shape, very thin and shiny. They are about five or six inches long, like goose hair tubes. It can moisten the lungs and warm the stomach. "So, this stalactite is a top grade medicinal material."

They did not know that each stalactite began with a drop of water containing the mineral. The water droplets silently dripped down. After billions of years of depositional process, they slowly formed a conical stone bamboo shoot. People could not see it with their naked eyes. And the pile of milky white pillars could benefit the human race. The medicinal herb mentioned by Shen Hong was also recorded in the "Grass Scripture of the Divine Farmer". It was known as the root of evil, and its shape was even more strange. It was more like a coiled piece of ginger, which was why it was also called Jiang Shi.

Shen Hong stared at the stalactites at one end of the cave and suddenly discovered that three stalactites were moving among them. She was shocked, the stalactites were growing extremely slowly, she knew that a person's naked eye could not see it, if they could see the stalactites growing, then this sort of thing would not be so precious, it would even be no different from normal stones. Shen Hong was sure that the hanging pillars were stalactites. Since they were stalactites, why would the three stalactites above his head move? Could it be that they grew faster than ordinary stalactites?

She blinked, rubbed her eyes, and looked again. The three stalactites had stopped moving, and she breathed a sigh of relief, thinking her eyes were playing tricks on her, and walked up the steps to the platform. The platform was very wide, and when she had looked at it from a distance, she had felt it was a sight, a feeling of grandeur, but she had not expected it to be so wide and so grand. It looked like a sacrificial altar, with dark red marks on the golden surface. It looked like dried blood. At first glance, it was almost impossible to tell that it had been tempered by something over a long period of time. This kind of tempering would probably take thousands of years, or even thousands of years. Shen Hong thought of what the white-haired old man had said about feeding the three-star iron-headed black snake with blood in a golden basin. Was this the place where the golden basin was connected to the blood? The three statues on the platform were triangular in shape, standing in three different directions. Their faces were flat, as if they were looking at something in the distance. It was as if they were watching a fierce battle. From afar, these three statues did not look that eye-catching either. However, when they got closer, they suddenly felt especially tall and imposing. Their torsos were several times taller than normal people.

Shen Hong walked up to one of the statues and discovered that it was incomplete. One of its right arms was missing, and the other leg was missing. When she looked at its face again, she was missing an ear and an eye. Shen Hong began to suspect that maybe the statues were like this in the first place. She looked at the other two statues, and sure enough, the statues were missing a right arm, a right leg, an eye, and an ear.

Could this be the terracotta soldier, or the barbarian slave mentioned by the white-haired old man? The white-haired old man did not go into detail about the terracotta soldier. Originally, she was not very interested in it either. Even though the white-haired old man had told her some of the details, she had not paid much attention to them. Shen Hong tried her best to recall the memories, but couldn't recall anything. She then raised her head to take a closer look at the three statues.

The three statues only had one eye left, but the left eye was slightly sunken in. It was bright and full of life, and it seemed to glow faintly. The three statues stared in three different directions.

Shen Hong was currently studying the three statues' eyes, when Hong Kun suddenly cursed, "What the f * ck is this? Why is it dropping water on my head?" No, it's not water, it's fucking piss. "

The few people raised their heads and saw that there was a stalactite that was soaked wet and had changed into the shape of a person, revealing a human face. The expression on that face was extremely painful, as if it was suffering from something.

"There's one more." The ghost head exclaimed.

For a time, the three moving stalactites that Shen Hong had just seen all took the shape of humans. The expressions on all three of their faces were different: there was pain, vicious laughter, and anger. Their dripping white juice turned red when it landed on the platform, as if it was blood.

"Could it be that these stalactites have turned into spirits?" Wei Lin said in fear.

"Perhaps, this time it might be too bad. These stalactites are at least tens of thousands of years old. If these tens of thousands of years of stones turn into essence, how can we fight over them?" The ghost head said.

"A stone is a stone, how can a stone turn into a spirit? Nonsense. This is probably another trick the Earth Devils are playing. " Hong Kun wrinkled his nose. He did not believe in ghosts and gods.

The three stalactites changed slowly, twisting around and around like insects, as if they were shedding their clothes. The outline of their faces became clearer, their eyes kept moving, and their teeth were exposed. Those white teeth were very sharp, and the ghost head couldn't hold itself back any longer; he was truly afraid that the stalactite would jump down and eat him in one bite.

A line of cold sweat ran down his back and ran down his back to his pants. He took out his steel knife and swung it back and forth, always on guard against the stalactites falling.

However, the three stalactites turned around and withdrew, returning to their original appearances.

Everyone finally let out a sigh of relief. Hong Kun laughed, "Like I said, a stone can turn into a spirit? This must be a trick of the Earth Devils. "

Shen Hong had been paying attention to the change in the stalactites. She had always felt that the stalactites were not ordinary. Although Hong Kun's words made sense, they didn't exclude the possibility of other situations. As for what the circumstances were, Shen Hong didn't know.

The change in the stalactite made everyone nervous for a while, but it eventually turned into a false alarm. Everyone returned to the platform and began to admire the three golden statues. Some said that these three statues were too incomplete, and it was unknown who destroyed them. The crowd argued for a long time, but they still could not come to a conclusion. Just then, a drop of water dripped onto the ghost head's nose. The ghost head was looking up at the statue, and when the drop of water dripped into his mouth, he smelled a urine smell.

The ghost head spat out and looked up. The three stalactites started to shake again, this time even more violently. Their humanoid shapes became even more distinct, as if they wanted to break free from the white shell. The three stalactites spun around like bells, their shapes changing, now large, now cross-shaped. and began to move, and they all moved to a place with pits.

After a while, the change in the stalactite suddenly accelerated. His arms and legs split apart, and even grew ten fingers. That kind of wiggling was sometimes fast and sometimes slow. When it wasn't moving, it was basically a stalactite that grew from the top of the stone wall. When it moved, it also seemed very strange.
