Chapter 353: Destruction Is the Beginning
Ghost blows out the world of lights, Zagrama sacred mountain.
In a closed and desperate situation, with the constant occurrence of danger, everyone can only drill holes and walk when there is a road.
Seeing the appearance of the big crack, several people dragged Professor Chen in.
As soon as everyone entered, the crack was blocked by more than a dozen falling rocks.
Everyone looked at it, only to find that this place is a square stone house of only a dozen square meters, and there is an ancient large stone box on the ground, which is completely different from the black stone that can be seen everywhere in the exquisite city.
There was a lot of dust inside, and it had been closed for many years, and there was no circulating air, so everyone hurriedly took out their gas masks and put them on.
The stone box is more than half a meter high and more than one meter long, and the craftsmanship is extremely precise, and there are several stone paintings carved on it, and I don't know what it is used for.
Lin Chen took out a strong light and shone it, and immediately heard the fat man shouting: ", two big zongzi." β
Next to the stone box were two shriveled remains.
The remains, old and young, had turned dark brown, and the beard on the old man's jaw was still faintly recognizable, and his body was wrapped in sheepskin; The other, who appeared to be a young child, sat cross-legged as if guarding the strange stone box.
Hu Bayi breathed a sigh of relief and said to the fat man: "Don't mention zongzi at every turn in the future, you will be scared to death and not pay for your life, these two are clearly about to become fossils, not to mention that they have been dead for thousands of years." Fuck this was a burial chamber. β
Hu Bayi and they searched in the tomb, after all, if there was no exit, they would probably die here.
Lin Chen walked to the side of the stone box, saying that these two remains have the ability to divination, and I don't know if I can divinate Lin Chen's arrival.
The mural on the stone box is about the arrival of five people, which is the same as in the original play.
Lin Chen ripped off the animal skin that had been glued to it for storage.
Suddenly, a second stone box appeared in front of Lin Chen.
Lin Chen's eyes froze, because he was very sure that this prophet had really predicted his appearance.
Because the fresco carved on the door of the second stone box shows one of the people opening the stone box, and then the inside of that person's mind is just an irregular stone.
Lin Chen knew very well that the stone was the fragment of the godhead he needed to find, and this prophet had also predicted this.
Suppressing the shock in his heart, Lin Chen opened the second layer of stone boxes.
Originally, Lin Chen still thought that the fragment of Godhead would be inside the stone box, but what disappointed him was that the stone box was just a parchment book.
After seeing the parchment book, Lin Chen suddenly lost interest and let go of his body.
Shirley Yang quickly took out the parchment book inside, and then opened it and looked at it.
Hu Bayi and the fat man glanced at each other, then looked at Shirley Yang and asked, "What does this book say?" β
Shirley Yang said while looking at it: "The beginning of this part is to say that there is a sacred mountain in the ancient Western Regions, that is, the Zagrama Mountain where we are now, this mountain is surrounded by dense rivers, many animals and plants, and there are four tribes living here......
"In the midst of all the time, people found a bottomless cave in the Zagrama Mountains, and no one could go down to the bottom of the cave, and everyone wanted to find out what kind of world was in the cave. One of the four tribes was a high priest who ordered a jade eyeball to be made, hoping to see whether the bottomless pit was auspicious or evil through the power of the true gods. With a large-scale festival, instead of seeing what lies beneath the bottomless pit, disaster begins to strike. First of all, the high priest was blinded and died; Then a strange snake that threatened the safety of humans and animals appeared nearby, there were many of them, they all had a strange eye on their heads, and they were violent, killing countless people and animals. The four tribes elected two saints who were favored by the true gods, and with the warriors of the tribes, killed the female snake, a monster with a human head and limbs, which hatched eyeball-like eggs, each egg could produce hundreds of strange snakes, and if left to reproduce, the consequences would be unimaginable.
After a period of struggle, the snakes and beasts were swept away, and the ancestors threw the corpses of the snakes into the bottomless pit at the foot of Zagrama Mountain. The Sage knew through the metaphor that this cave was a cave of calamity, and the jade eyeball had opened the door to calamity. After this, one of the tribes gave birth to a prophet, the prophetic child. Well...... Then there is the prophet's prophecy of the future of Mount Zagrama, the prophet of the tribe was buried in the mountain after his death, the prophet was able to predict major events thousands of years later through rituals, but its scope was limited to the vicinity of the mountain of Zagrama, probably due to the fact that the ancestors of the tribe who were regarded as gods were buried here, and the powers of the prophets were given by the two saints and the true gods.
The Prophet prophesied that eight hundred years after his death, his tribe had already migrated to the far east to escape the calamity, and that a new tribe had arrived in the Zagrama Mountains, from the desert to the west, who had discovered a ghost cave in the mountains, and the shamans of the tribe claimed that this was the place where the demon gods lived. This tribe was the predecessor of the Elite Kingdom, and the Queen of Perfection had a pair of ghost eyes that could see into the underworld, and she mastered the ritual of summoning the evil spirits of the black snake with the jade eye sacrifice, and used it to conquer more than a dozen neighboring countries around it. Their atrocities angered the true gods, who handed over the mountain and the surrounding territory to the devil, and the desert engulfed their city, and all the people and animals of the country, as well as the evil spirits of the black serpents in the ghost caves, would be buried deep into the ground.
Finally, the revelation to those of us who entered the Prophet's Tomb for the five of us...... The revelation foreshadowed that four survivors would enter the tomb due to the collapse of the mountain, and one of them was a descendant of the Ancestral Clan......"
Speaking of this, Lin Chen looked at Hu Bayi and Xue Li Yang, the descendants of this Ancestor Saint Tribe, except for the two of them, it could not be anyone else.
Without Professor Chen's troubles, Shirley Yang read out the following language smoothly.
"The Ancestral Saints will point out a way for the descendants of their own clan to escape, the mysterious things do not belong to the Western Regions, but to the mysterious Central Plains, the sacred mountain of Zagrama and the ancient city of Essence are about to be destroyed, and the sandstorm will destroy this place again until the end of time."
At this point, the parchment is gone.
Lin Chen's eyes lit up, the mysterious thing must be a fragment of the godhead, but he didn't expect this old boy to even be able to divinate this thing.
At this time, there was a shaking under everyone's feet, and only a slight cracking sound came from the mountain, the sound became louder and louder, and the shaking of the ground also intensified, and it seems that the internal tension of the mountain caused by the explosion was conducted, and after the first two cracks that were larger than the other, the pressure continued to accumulate, and the third crack would occur soon, could it be that the revelation of the prophet corresponded here?
As the tremors continued, the stone box was half-sunk into a large crack in the ground, and the Prophet's bones were crooked, and the fingers of his right hand were pointing to the large crack on the left side of the tomb.
Before the four of them could think about it, the fat man grabbed Professor Chen directly, and the four of them ran out of the big crack that the prophet pointed out.
After a few steps, a burst of white light dazzled, and the long-lost sky appeared above everyone's heads.
However, there is still a drop of several meters from the ground.
But it is this gap that gives people a sense of despair.
"Fatty, you squat, pad me to climb up."
Lin Chen was the most powerful among them, and his weight was the lightest except for Shirley Yang.
The fat man nodded and squatted directly to the side.
Then Lin Chen stepped on the fat man and climbed up.
Shirley Yang followed behind Lin Chen.
Because Professor Chen was already unconscious, Lin Chen threw a rope below, and Hu Bayi helped the fat man tie Professor Chen with a rope.
After Professor Chen was pulled up, Hu Bayi stepped on the fat man's back and climbed up.
Then he pulled the fat man up with a rope.
After the fat man climbed up, Hu Bayi carried Professor Chen on his back, and then a few people ran down the mountain, and the mountain close to the ancient city had completely collapsed, and the huge mountain that was half hollow was just on top of the ghost cave, blocking the entrance of the cave forever.
As soon as they came to the bottom of the mountain, they saw the other members of the archaeological team and An Liman waiting for them not far away.
As soon as the tremor began, a few people discussed it for a while, and then came to the entrance, intending to wait for Lin Chen and them here.
I didn't expect to really wait.
Hu Bayi threw Professor Chen onto a camel, and he climbed up with him.
Not only Professor Chen, but even Hao Aiguo, who was in a coma of poisoning before, was also in a coma.
In the end, the fat man and Hao Aiguo were a camel, and Hu Bayi and Professor Chen were a camel.
After the arrangement was made, Hu Bayi looked at the man there and said, "Old man, that place can avoid the big sandstorm, take us over quickly." β
The sky was completely dark, and this time it was a whirlwind, and the eye of the wind seemed to be a ghost hole in the mountain, and the wind was gradually strengthening, and the face was sore from the sand.
The old man of An Liman didn't expect this big sandstorm to come so quickly, and there was no sign before, except for the ruins of Zagrama and the exquisite ancient city, there is a vast desert, where is there a place to hide. But since it is a whirlwind, the farther away from the eye of the storm, the safer it is, just identify the direction and keep running, whether you can escape or not, it depends on the mood of Hu Da and his old man.
The old man gave a long whistle, rode a camel to lead the way, and fled west with the camel caravan.
At first, I heard a strange sound behind me, like a ghost crying wolf, and like the waves of the sea, and in an instant the wind was fierce, and the strong wind carrying the sand and dust was overwhelming, and the sky was dark, and the visibility was extremely low, although I covered my mouth with a turban, I still felt that there were countless sand and stones poured into my ears and nose.
After running a long distance, the camels gradually stopped listening to the command, and Anliman stopped the camel caravan, and by this time he could not hear what anyone said, and he made a few gestures to gather the frightened camels in a circle.
It's far from the eye of the storm, and it's a safe place.
Lin Chen and the others built a simple sand wall around the camels, and then blindfolded the camels with blankets to prevent them from fleeing in fright, and everyone also wrapped themselves in blankets and surrounded them.
It wasn't until the next morning that the wind and sand gradually subsided.
This night, Lin Chen and the others kept digging the sand wall, not to mention Hu Bayi. Even Lin Chen was already exhausted, and when he saw that the sandstorm had passed, he dared to stand up and look out, surrounded by undulating sand dunes like waves, and the yellow sand was blown out by the wind with solidified ripples.
All the water bags they had brought with them on the camels had been blown away by the wind.
Thanks to the fact that Lin Chen's storage ring still had a lot of water and food in it, otherwise they might really die in the desert.
Finally, there is Lin Chen's supply. After driving in the desert for more than ten days, they finally walked out of the desert and came to the Tarim River, which was originally planned.
