Volume 1, The Lost Valley Blood Tree Chapter 68, Petroglyphs
"There's petroglyphs up there!" Yan shouted.
"Oops, that thing is worthless, and you can't take it away, what's so beautiful!" Boss Zhang glanced back and said.
"Mountain ghosts!" Uncle Long glanced at the mountain ghost, and the mountain ghost pulled out his shovel and crackled at the vine branches on the stone wall.
The vine branch broke, and a lot of black liquid flowed out by the way, and the fishy stench spread through the narrow passage, and the smell made people almost sick.
"You guys, go help!" Ye Rong commanded to the two people beside her. She brought a lot of people with her this time, but now there are only four of them left
Soon, the stone wall was cleared, revealing the rock carvings below.
"These stone carvings ......" Chen Tao leaned closer and adjusted the lighting range of the headlamp to the maximum.
There are many strange pictures carved on the stone wall, four on the left and right, as if they are narrating, and they are like some strange symbols.
Chen Tao first came to the front of the first picture on the right, this petroglyph is very layered, in the painting is two young people kneeling to a long-bearded old man, judging from the later pages, one of the two kneeling should be the owner of the tomb. What was strange was that the head of the long-bearded old man was painted with a faint circle of light, like the holy light behind the head of the gods and Buddhas.
The second picture looks very weird, with a huge black building on it, and it looks a little confused, and there are a lot of strange-looking people in front of the building and a lot of slaves are walking towards the building.
The third picture, again of the strange black building, is depicted in a war in which the slaves who had been escorted before were fighting the strange-looking man, and the owner of the tomb was standing in front of the building, with his back to the crowd behind.
In the fourth picture, the perspective is somewhat peculiar, the owner of the tomb is standing on the top of a mountain, and there are many ravines and mountains below.
In the fifth, there are many small people in the picture, as if they are digging a mountain with tools in their hands, and the owner of the tomb is standing on the side and looking down on everyone, pointing forward as if pointing something.
In the sixth picture, many people are standing on the edge of a cliff, and at this time, the owner of the tomb has an extra layer of holy light on his head, pointing to the bottom of the cliff with one hand and holding it high to the sky with the other.
In the seventh painting, a large tree is depicted, and the firstborn holy light of the tomb owner lies horizontally on a stone platform, and many people are kneeling under the stage, as if kowtowing to him to see him off.
The eighth painting has no figures, but is carved with mountains, and among the mountains, you can see a winding river flowing.
"This ...... What do you mean? Haozi asked.
"This is not simple, the owner of the tomb worships a certain immortal to learn art, and after learning, he goes down the mountain to save the suffering, leads the people to victory, becomes a great hero, and finally becomes a great enlightenment, and becomes an immortal!" Liang Shaokai said with a sigh.
", can you talk nonsense again!" Haozi gave him a roll of the eyes.
"Mural rock carvings like this are all used to narrate the merits or major events of the tomb owner, and there should be some kind of connection between these rock paintings......," Chen Tao touched his chin and said, "I think it's like telling something." ”
"Lights in place, please start your show!" Liang Shaokai aimed his headlamp at Chen Tao.
……
"Liang Shaokai children's shoes, I advise you to be kind!" Chen Tao gritted his teeth and said.
"I think that in this painting, it should be said that the owner of the tomb was a disciple of this old man, and then he should have come to a certain place to rescue the local people who were oppressed slaves," Ye Rong pointed to the petroglyphs in front of her.
"Well, it should be like this, what should the owner of the tomb do afterwards, but I don't understand the next few pictures, the owner of the tomb has a holy light on his head like the old man at the beginning, what does it mean?"
"It's really stupid, of course the holy light on your head is an immortal!"
"Liang Shaokai, you ......" Haozi raised his hand and made a walking motion on his head with two fingers.
"What are you doing?"
"Take your head away!"
"Maybe you don't have to be an immortal, and the holy light above your head may have other meanings." Uncle Wang said, "In order to show some people with great wisdom and virtue, the ancients sometimes used this way of expression. ”
Uncle Long nodded, and suddenly frowned: "Look at the fourth picture, what do those mountains look like?" ”
Hearing this, everyone looked carefully at the fourth picture and couldn't help but be surprised.
"This ......"
Although the outline of the painting has changed slightly, Chen Tao still recognizes it.
It is these mountains near Heizigou in the painting!
"Could it be that they dug that ancient road?" Chen Tao pointed to the fifth petroglyph.
"Hmm......" Uncle Long nodded, "Judging from the murals, it should be what the owner of the tomb took people to do in Heizigou." ”
"This cliff, could it be the one outside?" Boss Zhang said.
"No, I guess, this should be that weird canyon in Shinto." Uncle Long looked at the sixth mural and frowned.
"Uncle, look at what that man has in his hand!" Chen Tao suddenly exclaimed.
In the sixth picture, there is also a circle of holy light on the hand of the tomb owner. At first, he didn't pay attention, but when he looked carefully at the things in the man's hand, Chen Tao's eyes were straight, and his head seemed to be electrocuted.
In that person's hand, it was a bronze man with tree pattern!
Chen Tao's heart was pounding, as if he was about to jump out of his body, his eyes stared straight at the bronze figure on the mural, and a layer of sweat broke out in his palms.
Bronze man again, bronze man again! What the hell is that bronze man?
The corners of Uncle Long's eyes jumped a few times, trying to control his emotions, carefully identifying the things in the man's hand.
"It's not a bronze man, it should be something else."
"What is he doing on that cliff?" Yan asked with a frown.
No one can answer this question, there is no other content on the petroglyphs, and no one can know what the mysterious tomb owner led a group of people to do on the cliff thousands of years ago, leaving only endless speculation by future generations.
"I think it's some kind of ritual." Ye Rong said.
"No matter what he did, that incident should have had a great impact on him and directly killed him!" Uncle Long coughed and pointed to the seventh picture, "This sage should have died in the end and was buried under a big tree!" ”
Hiss......
The crowd gasped.
Thinking of the strangeness when he remembered it, Chen Tao has always been haunted by that canyon in his heart. That place is so wicked, it doesn't look like a place for people to stay!
"What does this last one mean, it directly draws a landscape, is it a map of a place?"
"This looks a bit like here, but it's not, I've seen this here before I came, and it's completely different from the top, although it's a little similar, but this river doesn't have it." Chen Tao pointed to the petroglyphs.
"Could it be the way it used to be? How many years have this been, how can you say that......" Liang Shaokai patted his head and said, "By the way, the stars are changing, and the mountains and rivers are changing!" Ay! Maybe an earthquake will give you a facelift? ”
"This posterior boy is really full of nonsense, this is not an earthquake zone, where did the earthquake come from!" Boss Zhang retorted.
"Forget it, let's keep walking, there should be a long way ahead, judging from the echo, there is not a lot of space inside." Yan shook his arm and said.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Chen Tao looked at Ye Rong on the side.
I don't know when she took a camera and kept shooting the murals on the stone wall.
"Little brother, don't be too curious, it's going to be deadly!" Ye Rong glared at Chen Tao with big eyes full of charm, and wiped it in front of Chen Tao.
Chen Tao stared at Ye Rongxin, who was like a female goblin, and said, "What does this woman want to do?" ”
Thinking about it, Chen Tao also took out his mobile phone and took pictures of the rock paintings. There is no eyebrow at all so far, and he plans to study these petroglyphs slowly after going out, and maybe he can find something.
Several people left the petroglyphs and walked along the cave-like tomb road. Chen Tao was surprised to find that the deeper he went into the cave, the thicker the vines on the ground became, and the space in the cave passage became smaller and smaller.
At first, they could walk slowly through the vines, but later they could only climb and crawl between the vines.
What's worse is that although those black worms have been avoiding them, there are always a few vines that fall from the top of the vines and land on the hair and neck of the person, and they will burrow through the cracks. Although Chen Tao tightened the cuffs of his neck, a bug fell out of his hair from time to time, itching and swishing on his head, which was too uncomfortable.
After climbing for a while, the front suddenly opened up, and I heard Boss Zhang's broken gong and a ghost roar, almost all of which were scolded.
"I'm going to have a lung!"
