Chapter 496: The Bottom of the River Pool
"Damn, what the hell is this place?" Xiao He glanced around, and suddenly burst into a foul mouth. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Xiao Dong and Jian Wushuang were also taken aback, they were actually rushed into a tunnel by the undercurrent. It's not so much a tunnel as a promenade. It is built with stone slabs, and the fit is quite perfect. The corridor winds around and leads to the left and right. The most surprising thing is that the water in the pool outside is exceptionally calm and will not flow in.
It's as if there is a natural barrier between the promenade and the water, blocking the contact between the two.
"Ahem...... At this time, Sudirman and Ikkyu both woke up one after another. They are physically weak, but they only grabbed a few mouthfuls of water, which is not a big problem.
Seeing the scene here, Sudirman couldn't help blinking and exclaimed, "Could it be that this is the tomb of the ancient king?"
"What ancient king's tomb?" Xiao He asked.
"Legend has it that in this endless desert above us, there used to be many kingdoms, large and small, but later because of the harsh environment, they could not survive, and those kingdoms were gradually submerged by the desert underground, forever sunk and difficult to find. Sudirman said, glancing around, "This is very likely, a tomb from a small kingdom." ”
"Tomb?" Xiao He's eyes widened and he said, "In this way, we are not rich. The tombs of the kingdom, there must have been a lot of gold, silver, jewelry, and valuable things. Hey, I didn't expect us to be blessed with ...... in disguise. ”
Xiao Dong slapped him and scolded: "You just talk about dreams, how can there be so many miracles, we were swept in by the undercurrent just now, it's good to be able to save our lives, and we still hope to get rich." I wondered why the water outside didn't rush in. ”
"It's because of the design of this promenade. Sudirman seemed to be very proficient in this convenience, and said, "Don't underestimate the wisdom of the ancients, perhaps, many years ago, our current culture and civilization could not keep up with them." ”
Xiao Dong nodded, it was true. In China, there are many amazing tombs that have not been cracked to this day. One of the most famous is the tomb of King Qin. What he wanted to know most now, though, was how they were going to get out?
"It's definitely not going to work outside, and when we were rushed in just now, I felt like we had taken a lot of detours, and if we wanted to get out again, I'm afraid it wouldn't be possible. Jian Wushuang solemnly skimmed the dark pool outside, turned his head and said, "There are two passages in this corridor, which side should we take?"
This question silenced several people. After all, they are not experts in tomb robbing, and in this regard, they are rookies.
"Sudirman, you should know a lot, you decide. Xiao He said.
"I ...... I've seen some legends from ancient books, but I really don't know about this. Sudirman looked puzzled.
"What should I do then?" Xiao He slumped down suddenly.
Xiao Dong glanced at it and said, "There are no more than two roads left and right, let's choose one." ”
"Then on the right. Xiao He said with a big grin, "We all use the right hand, so let's go to the right." ”
Several people glanced at each other, anyway, they were all soldiers and generals, and the blind man touched the lamp, which one they chose was the same.
So they marched towards the passage on the right, Xiao Dong led the team, Xiao He, Sudirman and Yixiu were in the middle, and the sword was broken.
The secluded corridor, winding and circling, seems to have no end. There was silence all around, except for the occasional sound of undercurrents hitting the walls on the walls, even breathing was very real.
"Ahh
Everyone was shocked, and when they saw a black shadow squatting in the corner of the wall, they took precautions. But the shadow did not move at all, and did not move for a long time. Jian Wushuang poked the Chixiao Sword forward, only to find that the black shadow was not a ghost, but a statue.
Everyone's foreheads couldn't help but pop up a few black lines, and they all looked at Xiao He.
Xiao He's old face turned red, and he coughed dryly: "Dazzled, I accidentally saw the wrong one." The main thing is that this place is eerie and weird. ”
"If you are timid, just say it, and no one will laugh at you. Jian Wushuang grinned and teased, "But I really didn't see it, you are so timid, aren't you bold on weekdays?"
Xiao He said angrily: "Standing and talking doesn't hurt your back, if you see it first, you will definitely be more scared than me." ”
"I've never believed that. Jian Wushuang shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile, "There is a saying that you don't do bad things on weekdays, and you are not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night, boy, tell me, what are you doing to be sorry?"
"I ....... Xiao He and Jian Wushuang are two living treasures, seeing that they were about to fight, Sudirman suddenly ran up, looked at the statue in the corner, and said with a puzzled face, "No, this doesn't seem to belong to the kingdom, but like an ancient clan ......." ”
"What clan?" Xiao Dong asked curiously.
Sudirman shook his head and said, "It's not certain for the time being, let's continue to walk inside, maybe we can see something." ”
The atmosphere next was much more relaxed, because Xiao He and Jian Wushuang were fighting each other, and from time to time you could see many statues placed in the corridor.
"Look, there's a wall on the wall. Ikyu suddenly pointed to the wall and said.
Only then did everyone concentrate their eyes, I don't know why, although this place was closed everywhere, there was a faint light, and the weapons in Xiao Dong's hands were enough to see the things on the painting wall clearly.
I saw the portraits carved on the painting wall, lifelike, there were many people in strange costumes, with various expressions, various movements, as if they were interpreting something?
"What is this?" Xiao He leaned forward and said strangely.
"A narrative style of the ancients. Sudirman said with a serious face, "It is certain that the age of this place is definitely very old. Have you noticed that there is no text on the painting wall, that is, who is it, at that time, it is very likely that they have not invented writing, so they record things in the way of painting. ”
"What's that talking about?" Xiao Dong asked.
"It seems to be...... An ancient clan, from the beginning of a good life, to the end of the endangered cause ....... The more Sudirman looked, the more fascinated he became, and Xiao Dong and the others followed all the way, not because they were doing it, but because the things on the wall were really lifelike and immersive, as long as they looked at it a few more times, they could understand the meaning.
Soon, everyone probably understood the meaning of the painting, which was about an ancient clan that used to live together in groups and live a comfortable and beautiful life, but one day, disaster struck and caused a war.
"Hey, what's in the sky?" Seeing the end, Xiao He said strangely, "Why are all these people kneeling down?"
On the painting wall, you can clearly see that the dark clouds on the sky dome are rolling, like impenetrable silk, and countless strange images are rolled out from above, like a person. And in the middle of the dark clouds, there was a man in black armor, looking down with a hideous face, and the people below were frightened to kneel and worship.
Then, a special person appeared, on the opposite side of the dark clouds, there was an auspicious cloud, obviously a yellow man on it, especially huge, he had no clothes on his upper body, but only a beast's skirt below, with many tattoos carved on his body, exuding a great light, and confronted the man opposite.
Later, a battle broke out between the two, as a result of which the enemy was eliminated, and the tattooed man, who was also seriously wounded and dying, was buried in the ground by the clan's people.
"Could it be that where we are is the tomb where this person is buried?" Jian Wushuang raised his eyebrows.
"That's. Xiao Dong pursed his lips and said, "This is too mythical, and it looks like a fairy." ”
"Immortals, what is an immortal?" Jian Wushuang argued, "When your cultivation reaches a certain level, ordinary people can also regard you as an immortal. ”
"It's ....... Xiao He was speechless.
Xiao Dong stared at the painting wall, his brows furrowed, because there was a key question that caught his attention. The man who defeated the enemy should be the leader of the ancient clan, and the tattoos on his body made Xiao Dong tremble inexplicably.
Because of this tattoo, he feels very familiar. He always felt that his Shura tattoo had some kind of connection with this tattoo.
It's a pity that since he got the ancient Buddha relics and became a heavenly powerhouse, the Shura tattoo on his body has not appeared again, I don't know what went wrong, and now seeing the tattoo on the painting wall, he suddenly remembered.
"Second brother, what's wrong with you?" Xiao He noticed Xiao Dong's expression, leaned over and asked, "Did you see something?"
Xiao Dong frowned tightly and said, "No, this mural should just be a legend of an ancient clan, let's continue to take a look." ”
Click!
At this moment, only a crisp sound was heard, and although I don't know what it is, anyone can be sure that someone has stepped on something.
Knock knock!
Before they could react, the stone slab on the ground suddenly sank and fell rapidly.
"Be careful!" Xiao Dong shouted, but it was too late, the slate fell very abruptly, and the speed was fast, and several people all fell down. But fortunately, several of them are very athletic, and after a few vertical jumps, they hold hands to stabilize their figures. There was darkness again, they didn't know how long they had fallen, they could only see the faint light overhead, smaller and smaller, and then there was a thud, a concussion, which shook them all together.
"His grandmother's, what kind of bird place is this, there is a mechanism at every turn, kill Lao Tzu!" Xiao He was stunned and couldn't help cursing. But when he glanced at it, he exclaimed, "Oh my God, where are we?"
When everyone came back to their senses, they found that they had fallen into a secret room.
It's not so much a secret room as a large hall. Several stone pillars stand in the middle of the main hall, carved with unknown symbols, and oil lamps are hung on the walls, and I don't know when they were lit.
Inside the entire hall, there was a serious and dull atmosphere.
"This material seems to be made of bronze. Xiao He walked to the pillar and flicked the ballistic path with his fingers, "Hey, are we really going to send it, bronze things, but they are priceless." ”
"Look at it!" said Sudirman suddenly.
In front of them, I saw a high platform, resembling a huge ring, made of steps. At a cursory glance, there are at least hundreds of steps. On it, you can clearly see several statues, none of them are undressed, just wrapped in simple things, and there are many wild beasts wrapped around their bodies, which makes people's hearts tremble inexplicably.
