Li Zhibao said: "Yes, it seems that we need to go to the next layer to have a look, maybe we will find something." ”

At this moment, everyone entered the stone house, including Venerable Maza, who had been chattering non-stop before.

Zhou Kesheng saw Venerable Mazha also come in, and said, "Venerable, what do you think of this stone house?" ”

Venerable Mazha said with a face full of piety: "I have already said before, this snow temple is a post station used by the snow-capped mountain god Bayan Lagong to rest when he inspects the kingdom of heaven, and it is a place where the gods dwell, and we mortals can have the privilege of entering, all of which are the grace of the gods. ”

Zhou Kesheng smiled and did not speak again.

Pang Yan just took two photos with her camera, and when she heard what Venerable Mazha said, she couldn't help but be a little funny, but she couldn't say it clearly, thinking that this Venerable didn't believe in science, and believed in some folk myths and legends.

Sun Tao on the other side was holding a gun, and when he went down the stone steps first, Qin Yang was about to rush in, but he was pushed aside, he, the captain, took the lead, and he was always the first to go up when it was dangerous, and among Qin Yang's team members, his prestige was very high.

Qin Yang followed closely behind Sun Tao, and Li Zhibao, Xiao Ling and others were waiting above.

"Elder Li, it's safe down there." Sun Tao's voice came from below.

Hearing this voice, Li Zhibao, Xiao Ling, Zhou Kesheng and others went down the stone steps.

The stone steps swirled down, and soon everyone reached the floor below the stone house.

This layer was completely buried in snow on the outside, and there was not the slightest light shining through, and it was dark inside, with only a few flashlight beams shining around, providing limited light.

Xiao Ling noticed that the space area of this floor was almost twice that of the stone house above, except that the area was doubled, the structure and shape were exactly the same.

The stone house was equally empty, with nothing in the huge, dark room.

The first reaction was to look at the surrounding walls.

The walls of the stone house on the upper floor are painted with various lines in a chaotic manner, representing a kind of chaos, so is there a similar graffiti on the walls of the stone house on this floor?

Sun Tao took out a camping lamp from his backpack and turned it on, the soft light of the camping lamp was released around, and the dark stone house immediately looked much brighter.

On this trip to the snowy mountains, Zhou Kesheng had fully prepared the materials in advance, all kinds of circumstances were taken into account, the lighting equipment used in the field was fully prepared, and almost everyone was equipped with flashlights, camping lamps and other lighting appliances in their backpacks.

Sun Tao carried the camping lantern and followed Li Zhibao, Xiao Ling and Yu Tingting.

In the soft light of the camping lantern, Xiao Ling immediately saw a large number of patterns carved on the oncoming stone wall.

And all the people gathered together.

These patterns are not like the chaotic lines on the walls of the stone house on the previous floor, but are painted with relatively rough and simple human patterns, in Xiao Ling's eyes, like children's graffiti, but because they are engraved on the walls of the stone house, they have gone through some long years, and they faintly look a little primitive and simple.

Xiao Ling thought at first that the patterns drawn on it represented human beings, but as he looked closely, he soon realized that something was wrong.

Because among these human figures, some of them have three eyes carved on their faces, and some of them have horns on their heads and four arms, which are strangely shaped, and they are not human.

"The walls are painted with various ancient gods and demons used to worship in ancient times, although the lines are rough and simple, the expression is very wonderful, fully reflecting the rich imagination of our ancient ancestors."

Li Zhibao watched and was amazed.

Hu Shengzhe said: "Elder Li, do you see that this should be the relics left by civilization in ancient times?" ”

The murals painted by each civilization have their own characteristics, and it is not difficult to guess which period of civilization they come from after observing these murals in Li Zhibao's experience.

Li Zhibao nodded and said: "When I looked at a stone house before, I already had some doubts, and now I can be completely sure that the patterns carved on this wall are completely consistent with the characteristics of the murals in the Yuxia period. ”

Just now, everyone suspected that the White Palace was an illusion, and they just wanted to stop, only Venerable Mazha insisted on his opinion, and everyone could now discover this ancient relic belonging to the Yuxia period.

The discovery of ancient ruins belonging to the Yuxia period here also means that everyone is getting closer and closer to the goal they are looking for.

Venerable Mazha heard Li Zhibao's words, he was not happy and carefree, there was no expression on his face, he just silently looked at the patterns of ancient gods and demons painted on the wall, and did not say a word.

Everyone looked closely at the surrounding walls, which were painted with humanoid patterns representing ancient gods and demons, and nothing else.

Eventually, the crowd gathered in one of the corners of the stone house.

In this corner, there is a stone staircase that leads deeper underground.

At this moment, everyone has understood in their hearts that this stone house building is far more magnificent than everyone imagined, just revealed outside is only the highest floor, and the place where everyone is located at this moment is the second floor, originally everyone thought that this was a two-story stone house, but now it seems that this is at least a three-story building.

"There is even one floor, I can't imagine that it is a three-story stone house, this scale is not small." Pang Yan snorted.

Hu Shengzhe touched his forehead and said, "It can only be said that there are at least three layers, maybe four layers or even five layers." ”

Li Zhibao said slowly: "This is not a stone house, but a heavy building, and then slowly evolved into a tower-shaped building, which is the childish shape of the tower, belonging to a kind of Yuxia period popular four-sided heavy building architectural style, it looks like a stone house stacked up one by one, each layer is twice as large as the previous floor, at least three floors, in the current found records, the highest can have five floors of heavy building, I estimate, the building we are in front of us, is this kind of heavy building that was popular in the Yuxia period. ”

Everyone looked at the stone staircase leading to a deeper level, and did not immediately go down.

"I know that the original heavy building was a square, and then it slowly evolved into a hexagonal, octagonal and even a circle, becoming a variety of tower buildings that we know today." Wang Lei said as he took out the black pipe he was carrying, he was addicted to cigarettes and wanted to smoke to satisfy his cravings.

Song Jifuyuan's face showed a trace of doubt, and he said, "But, why build such a heavy building in the depths of this snowy mountain?" Just to engrave these patterns on the walls? There are a lot of lines drawn on it to represent chaos, and some ancient gods and demons are drawn on this layer, but what about the next layer? And what is being drawn? What's the point? ”

He really couldn't understand that in ancient times, when the productive forces were not developed, it would take a lot of manpower and material resources to build such a stone house and heavy building, and the purpose was only to draw such a simple pattern. It seems incomprehensible, what are these ancients trying to express?
