Volume 2: Jingzhao Suspicious Cloud Chapter 15 The hidden dragon is in the abyss, and Tengbi is nine days. (6)
Lu Ye woke up slowly, looking around, as bright as day.
He was now in a space that resembled an inverted cone, with countless blue-glowing granular matter embedded in the surrounding rock walls, and a pool of stagnant water in front of him.
In the distance, Song Tianlin and Su Ru were standing in front of the rock wall and observing the granular materials.
Lu Ye stood up and moved his body, seemingly uninjured, "What's the situation?"
The voice echoed in the empty cave, and Song Tianlin turned his head, "It seems that there was an earthquake just now, and our current location is probably in the inner space of the mountain that Lian Qiulan speculated before. It looks like it was created by man, and the rock wall has traces of artificial carving. ”
"Why are we here?" Lu Ye asked.
"It must have been an earthquake that triggered a mechanism that caused a passage to appear underwater, and the gravitational potential energy of the water was converted into kinetic energy, and a whirlpool appeared at the bottom of the water, and we were swept into it and rushed here. Su Ru used a very vivid analogy, "You can imagine what a flush toilet looks like when it is flushed." ”
"Is it really okay for you to treat us as excrement?" Song Tianlin's head was full of black lines.
"It's just an analogy for the sake of understanding, you say you're excrement, not me. ”
"Leave the excrement alone, our problem now is how to get out. Lu Ye hurriedly stopped this topic, for fear of hearing more pickled words from the mouths of the two.
"It's so big, it's surrounded by rock walls. The entrance is overhead, and the exit has not been found yet. "But fortunately, the oxygen content here is no different from the outside world, and I guess there may be ventilation ducts or something here." ”
"Do you still have ventilation ducts in your toilet?" asked Su Ru.
"It's just a metaphor! It's the same as you said about the flush toilet!" Song Tianlin explained.
"Stop!" Lu Ye sighed, "Let's not have any more discussion on the metaphor of "flushing toilets", you guys are a little disgusting now. ”
Song Tianlin showed Lu Ye the blue fluorescent granular material that he had picked off on the rock wall before, "Have you ever seen this thing?"
"It's hard, and the light comes from within, through these orifices. Lu Ye stretched out his hand and pinched the blue fluorescent granular substance in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully, "These fine particles on the surface are a bit like silica, and there are some metal oxides, this composition is somewhat familiar......
"Magma, the composition of this substance is very similar to solid magma. Song Tianlin gave the answer.
"Come and see, there's something here. ”
Su Ru stood in front of the rock wall not far away, and the light of a strong flashlight illuminated the rock wall, where was a mural.
In the center of the first mural stands an altar with a pillar in the center, and a man with a snake head is bound to a pillar by four thick chains, and his face seems to be trying to break free. The steps of the altar are engraved with obscure characters. Under the altar, four people stood on the left and right, wearing green fangs and wielding spears in their hands. Directly below the altar were altars, jars, and livestock, and dozens of people were prostrate on the ground.
Song Tianlin took Su Ru's strong flashlight and walked slowly, and the remaining murals were gradually revealed, these murals were arranged in a certain order, a total of twenty, depicting a magnificent and terrifying world.
The first is the altar, and then the picture zooms out, this is a valley, the man who was bound to the altar broke free, and a huge boulder rolled down from the top of the mountain and smashed into the people who were prostrate in front of the altar, eight people wearing masks and holding spears surrounded the woman with the head of the snake body, the spear in his hand pierced out, and the earth cracked and collapsed in an instant, countless people were swallowed by the cracked earth, magma splashed, and a large number of tiny creatures poured out from the ground, they fell into the earth to suck something, and then pounced on the people around them. By the eighth picture, everyone was gone, leaving only a ruined place.
Song Tianlin stared at these murals and did not say anything for a long time.
"It's been a few years since this thing, have you seen anything?" Lu Ye couldn't help but ask after his ass.
"Do you remember the bricks we saw in the underground pyramids of Egypt?" Song Tianlin looked back, "These murals are very similar to what is depicted on the bricks. In ancient times, humans did not have pen and paper, so they carved what they saw on the rock wall. ”
"You mean, this mural is actually a scene of ancient people sacrificing ghosts and gods for many years?" Lu Ye scratched his head, "I always feel like you're talking nonsense......"
"Art comes from life and is higher than life. I guess they just think that ghosts and gods may look like this through imagination...... "Song Tianlin said, "There are relevant records in the "Zhou Li, Chunguan, and Dazongbo", and the ancient sacrificial rituals were divided into heavenly gods, human ghosts, and earthly gods, and the human ghosts in them refer to ghosts and gods. ”
The flashlight slowly moves backwards, and the mural becomes incomprehensible, it is also a sacrifice, but the woman with the head of a snake in the picture is regarded as a god, and accepts the most devout worship from the believers.
"The head of a man and the body of a snake...... The human head and the body of the snake ......"
Su Ru's mouth kept babbling, and suddenly, a thought flashed, and an indescribable fear surged into her heart.
"Tianlin, do you say that the god they sacrificed to could be Nuwa?" Su Ru hurriedly grabbed Song Tianlin, who continued to move forward.
Song Tianlin was stunned, these two words were like a thunderbolt exploding in his mind, he couldn't help but shudder, and his gaze at the mural became a little unnatural.
"Female ...... Wa!" After a few seconds of silence, Song Tianlin spit out these two words with great difficulty.
"Nuwa, why are you involved in Nuwa again?" Lu Ye turned around, not knowing why.
"It is recorded in the Spring and Autumn Weiyun Doushu that one of the three emperors in ancient times was Nuwa, and Nuwa was also a human head and a snake body, and more importantly, Nuwa ruled the land of the four directions and was respectfully called the "Emperor of the Earth"!" Su Ru muttered, "In other words, the scene depicted in this mural ...... It's the scene of the demigod who represented the "earth" element in the alien seal back then!"
"So...... We stumbled into the burial ground by mistake?" Lu Ye's face was full of incredulity, "but there seems to be nothing here...... Ahh
Lu Ye raised his arm, and the granular substance that Song Tianlin handed him before that glowed blue fluorescent was attached to his arm at some point, and its interior gradually turned blood red, and spikes stretched out from the hole and pierced into Lu Ye's skin, sucking his blood.
"Damn! this thing is alive!" Lu Ye yelled, "He's sucking my blood!"
Lu Ye reached out and twisted the granular substance, forcefully pulled it out of his arm along with more than ten centimeters of spikes, and threw it on the ground. Blood dripped down, and countless granular materials on the rock wall fell one after another, slowly crawling towards Lu Ye's position.
"Run!" Song Tianlin and Su Ru glanced at each other and spoke at the same time.
In the clouds, meteors fell one after another, Zhou Jinyu slowly put down the SLR camera, "It seems that the show has begun, do you think they can escape this catastrophe?"
"If only Lu Ye's fool goes down, it's enough. Jue played with the "superb" official hat that he bought for thirty yuan from the thrift market in the afternoon, "The red ghost worm is a thing left over from ancient times, so it is naturally difficult to deal with, but the red ghost worm has a very fatal weakness, that is, it is very afraid of water." ”
"Then you said ...... before," Zhou Jinyu turned around in surprise.
"The thing I said about eating people without spitting out bones is not the Red Ghost Worm," Jue interrupted Zhou Jinyu with an inexplicable smile on his face, "The Red Ghost Worm will give them half a life at most, and the thing that eats people without spitting out bones is hidden in the water." ”
"We've been running for forty minutes, have you thought of a way?" Lu Ye gasped heavily, he couldn't remember how many laps he had run around the pond, although the speed behind him was not fast, but the number was amazing, Lu Ye couldn't understand why such a big thing had such a good physical strength.
"If I think of a way, I won't be going around in circles!" Song Tianlin was also out of breath, "Su Ru and I both tried it just now, and our abilities didn't kill these things, so we could only temporarily block them for a while." ”
"No, I can't run......" Su Ru stumbled and fell beside the pool, her physical strength had reached the limit.
Lu Ye and Song Tianlin hurriedly helped Su Ru up, and in this short period of time, countless red ghosts surged up and trapped the three of them next to the pond.
"It seems that we are going to confess here this time......" Lu Ye came from the sadness, "I didn't expect my Lu Ye to die in a toilet......"
"Wait a minute!" Song Tianlin suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "You just said the toilet?"
"It's all this time, and you're still struggling with this problem!"
"I know where the exit is! What is the toilet connection? It's the sewer!" Song Tianlin patted his head, pointed to the pond and said, "I have been wondering why there is only an entrance here and no exit, it turns out that this exit is the pond, do you remember that Lian Qiulan said before that the water level will fall every new moon, and the water level will recover when the moon is full." ”
"And when we went around just now, none of these things came from the pond, so it means that these things are very afraid of water!"
Lu Ye and Song Tianlin pulled Su Ru and jumped into the pool, and those red ghost worms really did not go into the water, but accumulated more and more on the shore.
Lu Ye breathed a sigh of relief, the crisis was temporarily lifted, but there was still a very important problem to be solved, "What should we do now, we can't soak in water for fifteen days, right?"
"I still have some physical strength, you take care of Su Ru here, and I'll go down to see the situation underwater. Song Tianlin waved the bright flashlight in his hand, took a deep breath, and dived into the water.
The pond is very deep, but the vision is much better than the pool on the ground, Song Tianlin put the strong flashlight in his mouth, and came to the bottom of the water, as Song Tianlin swam in the water with both arms, the fine sand and gravel at the bottom of the water were stirred, revealing a white skeleton with a forest, these bones should be the previous person who fell into the water.
However, just as he was about to find the exit, a huge shadow appeared in the light of the strong flashlight, and Song Tianlin's eyes widened.
In the shadows, a pair of blood-red eyes were watching him!
