Chapter 1190: Mural Contents
It's just that what is the reason for the other party to disguise himself as a Taoist temple?
Combined with the previous events, Meng Zitao had some guesses in his heart, and in order to confirm it, he asked this question.
"This is the ...... I don't know very well. The tall man replied.
Meng Zitao sneered: "You don't know this, you don't know that, living is a waste of food, it's better to reincarnate early!"
The tall man was taken aback by Meng Zitao's momentum, and then saw that his companion still did not know life and death, he had reason to believe that Meng Zitao would really kill him.
"Big brother, don't ...... We're just minions, and important news won't be told to us at all, but I've heard beforehand that all of this may have something to do with the Peerless Ancient Kingdom. ”
The tall man's answer confirmed Meng Zitao's guess, but he was not satisfied with this alone, so he said: "What are you kidding, how many years has the Elite Kingdom disappeared!"
"Big brother, I'm not kidding. The tall man hurriedly said: "I heard that Mr. Li fell out with his friends because of this incident, they all wanted to get the treasure of the exquisite country, but they refused to back down, and now they are all incompatible." ”
Meng Zitao said with a cold face: "If I want me to believe you, just tell me everything you know about this Taoist temple." ”
"Okay, okay!" the tall man nodded repeatedly.
In the battle for the treasures of the Exquisite Ancient Kingdom, Xunlingwei has been divided into three forces, Pony King, Li Rongfa and Zhu Zhongshi, as for which of the three forces is strong and who is weak, the tall man can't say clearly. He told Meng Zitao that the three forces had found a lot of clues by relying on their own channels.
What clues do the other two sides have in their hands now, the tall man doesn't know, Li Rongfa's side, he told Meng Zitao, Li Rongfa told them that as long as they get the Dragon King Seal, they will set off for Western Xinjiang, so it seems that Li Rongfa is a little worse than the "east wind".
However, Meng Zitao didn't quite understand one thing, since this Dragon King Seal was so important, why did he only send two people over?
The tall man gave the answer: "In fact, there is not only this place about the location of the Dragon King Seal, and the possibility that the Dragon King Seal is here is not the greatest, so only the two of us came." ”
Meng Zitao asked a few more questions later, but there was no nutrition, so he directly made the tall man unconscious, woke up the short man again, and asked the questions again, proving that the tall man was not lying.
"Wait......"
Meng Zitao didn't care about the short man begging for mercy, he fainted him again, and then looked around.
These two men dug up several major places of the Taoist temple, but except for some broken bricks and tiles, they did not dig up anything useful.
However, these two people didn't dig deep, and if they really wanted to hide the dragon king's seal, they wouldn't necessarily have to dig a pit less than one meter to bury it. From this point of view, they should have felt troublesome and just coped with it.
Meng Zitao borrowed the ability to find, it was much easier, and after a while, he found the target, just like in the tomb of Hatshepsu before, the entrance was in the well.
Taking out the rope and the miner's lamp from the backpacks of the two people, Meng Zitao fixed the rope at the mouth of the well and climbed down, and soon reached the bottom of the well.
This is a dry well, and after Mencius reached the bottom of the well, he did not land with his feet, because there was a mechanism under the well.
Meng Zitao was a little curious about the mechanism at the bottom of the well, and tried to touch it, he grabbed the hemp rope with his hand, touched the stone slab at the bottom of the well with his feet, and gradually exerted force, and when the weight reached a certain level, the stone slab at the bottom of the well suddenly opened, as if a fierce beast showed its teeth.
And under the slate are iron thorns, although they have existed for many years, but they are still cold, and if people fall into them, they will definitely rot their intestines.
Meng Zitao sighed at the ingenuity of the maker's design, and then groped for a position about a meter above the bottom of the well, and after a while, he touched a slightly protruding stone, pressed it down, only to hear a rumbling sound, and in front of him, a hole appeared that could only accommodate one person in and out.
After waiting for a while, Meng Zitao carefully climbed in, and after a while, he came to a space that was estimated to be only about twenty square meters and less than two meters high.
Looking around, Mencius found that the surroundings were empty, except for the murals on the walls, there was nothing, perhaps when the Taoist temple was destroyed, everything here was taken away.
Meng Zitao felt very regretful, there was no way, he could only see from the mural to see if he would get any clues.
The beginning of the mural is to the right of the entrance, and from right to left, there are a total of six murals.
In the first, there is a Buddha in front of him with a crowd of people in exotic costumes praying, and in the second, the Buddha performs a miracle and an oasis appears.
There is a detail here, Mencius found that the trees that make up the oasis look somewhat familiar, and if you look closely, it looks very much like a danmu. He had a flash of inspiration, and thought of the Danmu he had seen before, the so-called Dragon King Seal, which would not be buried at the bottom of the tree.
This matter was put aside for a moment, and Meng Zitao continued to look at it.
In the third, the people cheered and moved into the oasis, in the fourth, the people lived in peace and contentment, and in the fifth, there was a demon in the oasis, and there was a song leading the people to fight the demons, and in the sixth, the demon triumphed, and the leader set himself on fire and died, and the people scattered and fled, and the oasis fell into darkness.
After reading the last painting, Meng Zitao had a guess in his heart about the sudden disappearance of the Exquisite Kingdom, at that time, they should have found an oasis, and the whole country moved into the oasis, and then lived in peace. However, I don't know what it was, it destroyed this tranquility, and eventually caused the Essence Kingdom to truly disappear into history.
Of course, all this is just Mencius's speculation, and there are at least two unsolved mysteries, why the Jingjue Kingdom was evacuated so hastily in the first place, and what does the demon in the painting refer to? Mencius did not believe that the painting was a real demon, and it should only be a substitute.
Meng Zitao checked the whole room again, and also used the ability, but he didn't find any treasures, and he felt a little regretful in his heart, and climbed out of the well along the way.
Before the two people woke up, Meng Zitao carried one in one hand and led them down the mountain.
When Meng Zitao was about to walk to the Taoist temple, he happened to see Ah Ming coming over with people, and everyone was surprised to see Meng Zitao carrying two people in his hands, and they all surrounded him.
Meng Zitao just said it casually, and everyone saw Meng Zitao's attitude and knew that the matter was not simple, so they didn't ask too much.
Ah Ming brought several staff members, including two policemen, and Meng Zitao simply woke people up and asked the police to escort them down.
The tall and short two people, when they saw the police, completely rested, didn't say anything, and were honestly taken down the mountain by the police.
Ah Ming introduced the two sides: "Director Meng, this is Yu Lao, he is the most powerful plant expert in our department, and after learning that it was confirmed that it was Danmu, he came here on the plane last night. ”
Meng Zitao greeted warmly and shook hands with Yu Lao.
Yu Lao smiled and said: "Ah Ming, you are talking nonsense again, what is the most powerful plant expert, can this title be sealed if you say it? ”
Ah Ming smiled: "I'm not wrong, whoever has an opinion, let him come to me." ”
"Come on, don't make trouble for me, let's go first. "Elder Yu wants to see the Danmu as soon as possible, and everyone has no opinion, so let's set off together.
Everyone chatted while walking, don't look at Yu Lao is nearly seventy years old, however, the speed of walking is not slow, and some young people in their teens and twenties are estimated to be not as good as his physical strength.
There was nothing to do all the way, everyone came to Danmu, and after a night, Danmu was still like that, and he had not been patronized by other wild animals, and it was estimated that the remnants of the poisonous snake were still there, and he didn't dare to come over.
When Yu Lao saw Danmu, his eyes began to shine, and he excitedly leaned over to the tree, holding a magnifying ytterbium and looking at it carefully, it looked like he was appreciating a real treasure, and the whole person was already addicted to it.
Taking advantage of this time, Meng Zitao used his ability to "check" what was under the Danmu. This "look" startled him, there were white bones under the tree, and it was initially estimated that there were more than a dozen corpses, and the corpses looked a little distorted, with previous experience, he guessed that these people were buried alive.
