Volume 2, The Lost Trail of the Sand Sea Chapter 188, Secret Passage Mural
Chen Tao stopped, and as his gaze moved, his heartbeat gradually accelerated.
This generation of King Tatunan is different from those who came before him, and his frescoes depict an extremely strange thing.
The frescoes depict the construction of the temple by the fifth generation of King Tatunan.
According to Tatunan custom, the temple was beneath the royal tomb. However, before the fifth generation of King Tatunan, Tatunan was still a tribe, and its size was far from what it is today.
At that time, the royal city should not have been as big as it is now, and the fifth king chose the location of the current temple and ordered people to start building the catacombs.
The pit was dug very deep, and at an extremely deep point above the ground, the workers found a huge black hole.
No one knows what that place is.
The mural devotes a lot of space to describing this event, which shows how important the discovery of this black hole is to them.
There are a lot of strange ripples painted on the black hole, and I don't know if it's water or the smoke wafting out of the hole.
Everyone is retreating, and the painter has put a lot of thought into this mural, even portraying everyone's expressions.
It was an expression that is difficult to describe in words.
In the second picture, the king stands on the ground, directing a group of people into the black hole, but only seven people remain.
That person looks different from the people who went down before, and it was these people who attracted Chen Tao.
At first glance, there is nothing special about the things recorded on these murals, but if you think about it carefully, it will not be easy to make a generation of monarchs record here as the most important thing in their lives.
He pondered these murals repeatedly, and the more he looked at them, the more frightened Chen Tao became.
Because he found that these people who came out were not the same group of people who went in, and they were different from the surrounding crowd in terms of clothing and performance.
Even those seven are not human beings at all!
Although it was a long-distance painting, Chen Tao could also see that those people had long hair, their bodies were painted with red paint, and even their eyes were red.
Chen Tao did not understand the content of the painting.
Almost half of the people went into the black hole, but none of them came out.
Where did those people go?
Looking at the seven strange humanoid creatures, a thought suddenly flashed through Chen Tao's heart.
Could it be that these seven are the so-called burial guards?
Suddenly, a back flashed in Chen Tao's mind, the man with white hair and bloodlines.
Chen Tao looked down anxiously, but couldn't help but be disappointed.
The mural is over here.
Chen Tao didn't give up, pushed away Haozi and Liang Shaokai who were supporting him, and looked at several in a row, but never saw any relevant records.
I don't know if it's because of excitement or physical weakness, Chen Tao's heart is pounding, and he has a strong intuition.
Tatunian was not as simple as he thought.
This ancient dynasty, which mysteriously died three thousand years ago, one
It must have a lot to do with that ultimate secret.
Even her demise was caused by that secret.
Chen Tao's heart was beating violently, as if he was getting closer to the truth, and this strong impulse drove him to continue watching.
The secret passage is very long, and everyone doesn't know how long they have walked, but there is only endless darkness left before and after, and some strange sounds are heard from time to time, adding a bit of horror and mystery to this secret passage to hell.
"Look at it!" There was an exclamation from a person in the crowd, and Chen Tao looked up at the flashlight and couldn't help but be surprised.
I don't know when a lot of dense dark black gems appeared on the top of the secret passage, reflecting colorful colors under the light of the flashlight.
These black gems appear to have been deliberately set on them, and are delicately carved around them.
A few of the bold ones had already drawn their daggers and stepped on each other and buckled them down, their eyes full of greed.
Liang Shaokai rubbed his hands and was eager to try, and the harazi was about to flow out.
"There are treasures hidden here for more than twenty generations of King Tatunan, and they are really rich! With so many black gems, just a few pieces are enough for you to eat and drink for a lifetime! ”
"There are so many black gems just entering the door, so what does it look like inside the main tomb?" Haozi also swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
The treasures of the Tatunan kings of the past dynasties, Chen Tao also felt that his heartbeat was a little faster, the treasures of the lord of a country, there were more than 20 here, he couldn't even think of it.
Balohad looked at those people, his eyes were full of anger, and his mouth cursed the greed of those people, which was blasphemy against King Tatunan!
But no one would care about him.
In the face of absolute temptation, there is no such thing as human nature.
Looking back, Chen Tao found that Yan hadn't moved.
The two looked at each other, and neither spoke.
Chen Tao didn't pay attention to those people anymore, dragged Haozi and Liang Shaokai, who were still drooling, and walked to the depths of the secret passage under the extremely reluctant gaze of the two.
It wasn't until the mural of the last King Tatunan that Chen Tao stopped.
This person may be the one closest to the truth.
The frescoes begin as a sacrifice and a great battle, with the ambitious king almost dominating the desert.
On the mural, Chen Tao saw the great wizard who ended everything, but he didn't expect that even he was recorded.
Chen Tao carefully looked at the contents of the mural and found that the place recorded in the content was the tomb of the king under the temple.
This King Tatunan actually went to that mysterious black hole again!
And the person in the mural made Chen Tao's pupils shrink instantly.
In the picture, King Tatunan is the weird black hole that he entered with four people, one is a great wizard, and the other Chen Tao doesn't know, but his outfit is the commander of a certain guard.
What made Chen Tao unbelieving were the two standing beside King Tatunaan.
One of them turned out to be Qianshu Hongde!
This mural occupies a large space, and the expressions and physiognomy of several people in it are carefully depicted.
And what surprised Chen Tao even more was that there was another person beside Qianshu Hongde.
The man, dressed in a Han-style robe and a shawl with long hair, carried two jet-black spears crossed over his back.
Although Chen Tao didn't want to admit it, that person's face exploded in Chen Tao's mind like a thunderbolt from the sky.
That face turned out to be Yang Lixuan!
Chen Tao looked blankly at the figure that looked like Yang Lixuan, although the mural was not as real as the photo, Chen Tao could still recognize it.
Except for the long hair, his body shape, the two short spears behind him, and even the vague expression on his face were exactly the same as Yang Lixuan!
How is this possible!
Could it be that Yang Lixuan has lived for thousands of years!
In the mural, King Tatunan and the Great Wizard stood on one side, while the person who looked extremely godlike to Yang Lixuan stood in front of the strange black hole, facing the others, as if he had just crawled out of the black hole.
In his hands, he actually held a child.
Across from him, Qianshu Hongde was walking forward with her hands raised, as if she was going to take the child.
Chen Tao's heart was beating wildly, and he looked at the child in the man's hand carefully, his brows twisted.
Because he suddenly found that the child's facial features were blurred and naked. Although he also has hands and feet, his color is gray.
It's a complete mural, and it's not like the painter forgot to paint it.
Looking at the dynamics of the people inside, Chen Tao couldn't help but be stunned.
Could it be that the child-like thing was picked up by them from the black hole?
Who is the person who is so similar to Yang Lixuan?
Chen Tao endured the shock in his heart and hurriedly looked at the mural behind.
I saw a tall altar painted on the fresco, which was somewhat similar to the one in the temple, but it was not.
Qianshu Hongde was lying on a stone pedestal on the altar, and beside him was the gray child.
Beside them stood two men in black robes, one with only one head drawn.
This mural was not finished!
Looking at the empty part of the mural, Chen Tao almost vomited blood.
Just a little bit!
In a matter of seconds, he was able to get closer to the truth, even if it was a small step.
But it was like a joke on purpose.
Looking at Qianshu Hongde sitting upright on the screen, Chen Tao couldn't stop going crazy in his heart.
Qianshu Hongde, Qianshu Hongde, what the hell have you done!
The people behind had already walked up, Chen Tao had no intention of looking any further, he raised his flashlight and shone forward, and there was nothing on the stone walls on both sides.
The top of the stone was embedded with that kind of black dazzling gems, and there were a few subordinates who were bulging in their bags, with a look of excitement and greed, and their eyes were still reluctant to look at the black gems above their heads, eager to pack the entire secret passage into their backpacks.
Without the murals, Chen Tao's speed of progress was also much faster, after a while, the front suddenly opened up, the secret passage was several times larger than when he came, and a golden porch appeared at the end, and there were carvings on both sides of the bottom
The well-made, brightly painted rat-headed portrait is almost the size of an ordinary person, and when seen from a distance, it can almost be fake.
The whole body of the rat-headed figure is golden, and the armor is inlaid with gold and silver armor, and even the hair on the bare skin can be seen.
"This is too real, a few guards are so extravagant!" Liang Shaokai's eyes were straight, his tongue licked the saliva at the corner of his mouth, and his two hands trembled and touched the arms of a stone statue.
Suddenly, it was taken back like an electric shock.
"I ...... I'm a good girl, this girl is real! ”
Liang Shaokai rubbed his arms and took several steps back.
"What really?" Chen Tao was interrupted by his exclamation, and couldn't help but look at the warrior statues with rat heads and human bodies, and suddenly felt a chill.
These portraits are different from what they have seen before, they are not carved from stone, but they are real people!
Yan licked his tongue, as if he was interested in these figures, and walked a few steps to a figure and knocked on the figure's arm, making a muffled thumping sound.
"Interestingly, the corpse was filled with some kind of filler, and now the figure is only a human skin."
Yan Sheng stretched out his hand and wanted to take off the pure gold rat head mask on the face of the portrait, but was stopped by Balohard.
"I advise you not to do that." Balohad's expression was cold, and letting these people into the king's tomb was the most unbearable thing for him.
"If you don't want to die, just get it!"
"Huh, I'm scared?" Yan tilted his chin proudly, broke away from Ballohard's hand and pressed it against the mask of the figure.
It was too late for Balohad to stop it.
Just as the power of Yan's hand touched the mask, an extremely terrifying premonition surged into his heart.
Yan's hand suddenly stopped in mid-air and stopped moving.......
