Chapter 81: The Law of Sealing
The relief in the third part depicts the process of sealing the evil eye, the origin of which is not detailed, appearing out of thin air, and finally being sealed, but the countless infernal creatures that flew out of the evil eye did not die, they continued to threaten the safety of the city, and the city continued to exist for some time, after all, it still perished.
I'm more concerned about the content of this part, because there are some strange things in these reliefs.
The narrative of the relief as a whole is quite straightforward, just like that of a comic, except that the characters in these paintings have one striking feature, that is, they all have three eyes.
The three-eyed man is also recorded in the myths and legends of our country, but after all, it is only a myth and can never be verified, and the appearance of these reliefs in front of me seems to confirm the existence of such a group. I'm even beginning to wonder if the mythical and legendary Erlang God will be his hometown here?
This idea is a bit ridiculous, but I have to admit that the degree of development shown by this underground city in front of us is definitely not something that the ancients could have achieved thousands of years ago, and these people are likely to be an advanced civilization independent of the underground.
Of course, I don't mean these three-eyed people, if there is only one three-eyed person in this relief, this is considered abnormal, and the appearance of a group of three-eyed people is not strange in relation to this matter. But it would be a little strange if a normal human suddenly appeared in a group of three-eyed people.
That's right, the person who led the Three-Eyed Man to seal the evil eye in the relief was a normal person with only two eyes.
This was unusual, but it was difficult to delve into for a while, and the last part of the relief was more than that, after the Evil Eye was sealed, the city entered a period of decline. In order to show this process of decline, the person depicting the relief uses three successive drawings of the overall outline of the city, but the cities in the three pictures are more and more dilapidated than the other, and the last one completely depicts the city as an uninhabited ruin.
However, it wasn't this that made me care about the rest of the story, but the city after its demise, the seal of the altar was suddenly shattered, and three humans with only two eyes broke into the long-dormant ruins, awakening the hellish birds sleeping outside the ruins.
The content of this part is no longer the content of the narrative, because the Three-Eyed Man has long since perished, and even the city is in ruins, and it is impossible for them to see these three different people stepping into the ruins, let alone carving them into reliefs. Unless, these reliefs behind are the prophecies of the Three-Eyed people about the future, and they predict that after the end of civilization, three different people will break into the city again......
Wait a minute...... A flash of light flashed through my mind, and I froze.
Prophecy, three people, I stared at the three people on the relief, and the more I looked at it, the more I felt that two of the three people looked like Taoist priests and old men.
Holy, isn't it? Could it be that these three people on the relief are actually us?
Boom!
Just when I was shocked and speechless, a violent explosion suddenly sounded beside me, and a huge wave of air suddenly rushed me out. I rolled several times in a row, and finally stabilized my body, and before I could understand what was going on, I heard a burst of pig-killing wails from the Taoist priest.
I hurriedly turned my head to look, and suddenly saw that the Taoist priest was also lying on the ground, his mouth was full of blood, and he was still holding the copper bell tightly in his hand, and his eyes were full of horror and horror.
The old man's condition was not much better, he also fell to the ground, and blood spilled from the corners of his mouth, but the situation was not as serious as that of the Taoist priest.
During this time, my attention was all focused on the reliefs, and I didn't know what they were doing, so I rushed forward to help them up, and asked what was going on? What happened?
The old man's eyes had lost their composure, and the rag he had just taken out had broken in two, with a black glow on it, which seemed to have been damaged.
"Old man, old-timer, I think let's flash it, this thing is not something we can handle, and when it completely explodes, we will really be finished." The Taoist priest spat out bloody phlegm and said to the old man with a frightened expression.
Neither of them replied to me, I was immediately anxious, and asked again, and the Taoist priest immediately sighed, saying that the situation was not optimistic, and asked me not to add to the blockage now. I was unhappy with his tone, saying that I just want to plug this deep pit, I have a way.
The Taoist priest thought I was joking, and said helplessly: "Little reporter, it's all here, don't be joking, if this hole is not filled, not only will we not be able to get out, but if we wait until the things below this completely run out, the consequences will be unimaginable!" ”
"Who was kidding you!" As I spoke, I told what I had found in the relief, and even the old man's eyes widened and he looked at me in disbelief.
I led them to the reliefs where the Evil Eye was sealed, and let them see for themselves. I found out that there is a way to restart the seal on it, because the Three-Eyed people had already thought that the seal would be broken one day when they built the altar, so they prepared a total of two seals, and the other spare seal was on top of the previous sealing stone, but there were sixteen stone pillars stuck in the sealing stone, and someone had to go down and press these stone pillars for the seal to take effect.
The old man and the Taoist priest tried to seal the pit just now, but instead of doing it, they made themselves seriously injured, and now it is a problem to even stand on their own, and it is impossible to point them down.
I looked down, and the strong yin wind blew around me like a sharp knife, and the ghostly light from the pendant collided with the sound of gold and iron, and I suddenly felt a thrill. The white light in the ruins begins to fade, and it will not be long before it disappears completely, and when the light is completely gone, the danger will only increase.
The Taoist priest and the old man took off their clothes outside their bodies and knotted them into ropes, in fact, the last broken sealing stone was not far from the top, but just in case, I still tied my clothes, I didn't want to fall into the abyss that was so dark that I couldn't even see through the light.
After looking around the pit for a while, and seeing a gap in the wind, I jumped down and landed on the huge yin-yang sealing stone full of holes. At first, I was a little worried that the stone was unstable, but when I actually stepped on it, I found that this thing was extremely strong and there were no traces of weathering, so I immediately relaxed.
The wind in this position was blocked by the sealing stone, which just made it easier for me to move, and I began to search along the edge of the pit, and sure enough, I found a stone pillar with the thickness of the mouth of the bowl in the stone crack on the side. The pillars protruded slightly, not obviously, and I pressed them back in the same way as the seal on the relief, and it was not very difficult. As soon as the stone pillars were retracted, I heard a dull rattling sound from the side wall, and I said that there was a door, so I hurriedly continued to look for the rest of the stone pillars, and pressed all sixteen stone pillars back.
There was a little accident during the period, I still underestimated the extent of the damage to the sealing stone, and when I pressed the fifteenth stone pillar, the sealing stone that I stepped on suddenly shattered, and the whole person fell down. Fortunately, there were clothes tied up, and by the time I finally climbed up, my whole body was already weak.
After resting for a while, a dull roar suddenly came from the abyss under my feet, and I was startled, and I didn't care that my legs were weak, so I got up and pressed down the last stone pillar. Suddenly, there was a rumbling sound on the stone walls on both sides of the deep pit, and the bright white light was permeated, and the huge sealing stone slowly extended from three directions.
