"Tick, tick, tick, tick......"

Cold water droplets kept falling on Wu Xin's face, and suddenly she opened her eyes and found herself lying on her back in an unknown place.

"Where am I? Am I dead? ”

"Shhh …… It hurts! ”

Wu Xin sat up, feeling the hot pain on his back where he was scratched by zombies.

"I guess I'm still alive! Can't my eyes see? ”

Wu Xin was so nervous that she looked around, but she couldn't see anything, even a glimmer of light, she once thought she was blind.

Wu Xin felt very helpless, and wanted to raise his voice and call Shen Jinsan, but after thinking about it, it would be bad if it wasn't him but something else, so forget it.

There is nothing around to illuminate, Wu Xin can only feel around like a blind man, she feels that she should be sitting on the river beach, because she can hear the sound of running water in front of her, and there is a rustle under her buttocks, grab a handful with her hands, and feel that her hands are full of wet sand grains.

"What to do? Why is there no light at all, where did Shen Jinsan go? Could it be already dead! Is it hard to still be in the underworld? Or maybe this is the Styx of hell? ”

Walking along the water's edge is sure you'll find your way out!

Wu Xin tried to control himself from thinking about superfluous things, concentrated his mind and used his ears to discern the direction, and began to crawl along the waterway on all fours.

There was no time, no direction, no companions, only herself and the sand grains that were pressed under the palms of her hands, and I don't know how long she had been crawling, Wu Xin suddenly saw that there was a bright spot in the distance, flickering up and down.

"Shen Jinsan!"

This was Wu Xin's first reaction.

"Shen Jinsan! Is that you? Wu Xin shouted in the direction of the bright spot.

The bright spot suddenly moved for a while, then flickered to the side, and disappeared inexplicably.

Although Wu Xin couldn't accurately judge the exact location of the bright spot, he still tried to stand up and rushed forward desperately, after running a distance, a passage suddenly appeared on her right hand, there were downward steps in the passage, Shen Jinsan was lying crookedly at the end of the steps, and the bright spot just now should be the spotlight on his head.

"Shen Jinsan!"

Wu Xin boasted down the steps and came to Shen Jinsan's side in a few steps, at this time Shen Jinsan was in a completely unconscious state, and there was still some white foam on his mouth and beard.

"Shen Jinsan, Shen Jinsan......!"

Shen Jinsan felt that someone was fanning him again, he opened his eyes hard and smiled: "Hahaha!" I knew you weren't going to die! ”

Wu Xin grabbed Shen Jinsan's hand and choked up, "Are you okay?" ”

Shen Jinsan got up and relaxed: "It's okay, I heard your voice a little excited just now, and this excitement ** disease has flared up again, I didn't expect to fall here, turn around and get this worm out of eight pieces!" ”

Wu Xin: "Do you know what kind of place this is?" ”

Shen Jinsan: "We should still be underground, there is an underground river here, when I woke up, I found myself lying on the river beach, and drank a stomach full of water, but fortunately, the backpack did not fall, I found this place along the river beach, the water of the deep pool may be connected to the dark river, we were washed over." ”

Wu Xin breathed a long sigh of relief, looking at Shen Jinsan's embarrassed appearance and felt a little funny: "This bag is waterproof, it's okay!" ”

"It's like a door to a secret room, let's go inside!" Shen Jinsan wiped the white foam from his mouth and beard.

"Squeak ......"

Pushing open the rotten wooden door more than three meters high, a large cloud of dust fell.

It can be seen that this is a room made of stones, the size of a basketball court, and the three walls are covered with murals, and the inside is empty, except for a huge black statue standing in the middle, this statue has a hideous face, fierce and vicious, giving people a strong sense of oppression, so that people dare not look at it more.

The statue has the body of a bull-headed tiger, with three eyes on its head, one of which is a vertical eye in the center of the eyebrows, the upper body is naked and strong, there are six arms holding a weapon each, and the lower body is surrounded by an animal skin skirt, and on the left and right lies a one-horned rhinoceros wearing armor, and the rhinoceros also has a vertical eye in the center of the eyebrows.

Wu Xin: "This place is quite big, it doesn't look like a tomb, you see, there are stone gates on the left and right, and this place is like a hall." ”

Shen Jinsan approached the statue and touched it: "It's cast in bronze, it should be three or four thousand years old." ”

Wu Xin: "What kind of god is this?" Taoism and Buddhism do not seem to have seen this figure, and the Central Plains do not seem to have heard of similar ethnic worship. ”

Shen Jinsan: "This is a totem, a kind of ancestor worship, if you guess correctly, it should be the ancient god Chiyou!" Next to him were his two Dharma Protector Rhinos. ”

Wu Xin: "Is it the god of war Chiyou who fought the Yellow Emperor?" ”

Shen Jinsan: "That's right! Legend has it that Chi You is like this, he was killed by the Yellow Emperor after his defeat, in order to avoid his resurrection, the Yellow Emperor buried Chi You's head and body separately, it is said that Chi You is the ancestor of the Miao people, maybe everything here and the Miao great wizard of Yujia Mountain, as well as the worms in my body There is some kind of connection! ”

Wu Xin: "It's called crooked, let's go and see the content on the wall." ”

Approaching a look, the decoration on the stone wall attracted a sigh from the two, it turned out that the ancestors chiseled a groove on the stone wall, and then inlaid various colors of jade into it for decoration, and then filled in various colors of mineral pigments around to draw figures, the patterns on the three walls just formed a coherent mural with content, the high level of craftsmanship and the exquisite materials are simply breathtaking, but unfortunately most of the pigments have changed color and fallen off.

Wu Xin stood in front of the two murals in the middle, pointed to them and said, "Look! Isn't this the big banyan tree? Is it that some natives captured a lot of people of other races and sacrificed them alive to the big banyan tree? ”

Shen Jinsan: "Judging from the costumes, it should be the ancient Miao people, this makes sense, the base at the foot of the totem is engraved with a lot of cloud patterns and animal patterns, the age is almost the Warring States Period, at that time Hangzhou was under the jurisdiction of the Chu State, the Chu people were called barbarians by other countries, they should be the descendants of the Miao barbarians, go, let's start from the beginning!" ”

After reading all the contents, Shen Jinsan made his own speculation: "These murals are clumsy, and the jade used to inlay is a local jade species, similar to the jade varieties unearthed from the Liangzhu culture in Zhejiang, which should be the same period as the totem, and the content can be roughly considered that these ancient seedlings planted saplings and used some method to make them grow into a man-eating tree, and when the tree grows up, they will sacrifice living people to it, and the cannibal tree stretches out its long tentacles to suck the sacrificed people dry, Then he used the tentacles that came out of the top to transmit some kind of substance to the person behind him, and finally this person flew into the sky and released a beam of light on his forehead, which shone on these mountains below, but unfortunately many of the paintings on the mountains had fallen off, and it was impossible to see why this person did this. ”

"Why would you think that it was the transmission, and not the person, who was also used for sacrifice?" Wu Xin pointed to a person behind the cannibal tree.

Shen Jinsan: "You see, the sacrificed ones are lying on the ground, the clothes look like Han people, and they are portrayed very thin and painful, and the one behind the tree is wearing the costume of a soil sapling, lying on a beautiful ~ It is considered a bed, it looks obviously much stronger, and it is taller, there is no expression on the face, although the person flying in the air is not wearing clothes, but the tattoo on the arm is the same as the one lying down." ”

Wu Xin: "It's really like that!" Could it be that just like Uncle Zhuo said, this guy finally became an immortal, will the Taoist priest in the sarcophagus and the person behind him play the same role? ”

Shen Jinsan: "Very likely! This makes sense, the Taoist priest does have a few tentacles attached to his back, but why was he disemboweled? Could it be that this Taoist priest has an inner pill in his stomach and has been taken away? ”

Speaking of Nedan, Shen Jinsan suddenly thought of Guo Fatzi, and he hurriedly took off his backpack and opened the zipper to check: "Fortunately, Nedan is not broken!" Seeing that Nedan was safe and sound, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Wu Xin: "My talisman lasts for two days at most, and after the time limit, it can't seal the aura, and this inner pill will be invalid even if it is not broken!" ”

Shen Jinsan: "Then we have to find a way to get out of here quickly!" ”

Wu Xin: "If I didn't hit you, even if we could get out now, the fat man might have died a long time ago!" ”
