Chapter 818: Land of Light
The beard used the barrel of the gun to shoot the cigarette butt in the mouth of the flat-headed brother, and you are still laughing? Aren't you afraid that the phoenix will admit that the wrong uncle went to the wrong bed?
Brother Pingtou leaned on and spit out the cigarette butt, that's not my fucking care, and Phoenix is not a doll kiss with me. With that, stand up and go.
Beard and I followed, it seems that those ancient elephant people are the people in the ancient city, and those men with equipment are sentinels, they can't get the same as us before, they are trapped in the forest outside, and now they have finally found a way out, and they will not hesitate to dig a secret passage to chase them, but the beard's hand left a bullet to bluff them at once, so that they dare not dig the hole rashly.
After walking a few cigarettes along the markers, the secret passage ended with an iron door with several ancient elephant characters written on it.
Land of Light! Brother Pingtou pinched his chin, the name was a bit interesting.
We're not going to find the entrance to the ghost realm so quickly, are we?
Brother Pingtou shook his head, impossible, to enter the ghost domain, you must go through several prohibitions in the land of Chumeng, these secret passages, just to facilitate the gatekeepers to repair the forest, they can't be stupid enough to repair the secret passages directly to the ghost domain, otherwise there is still an egg for setting up so many prohibitions?
The beard snorted, that is to say, behind this door, the so-called place of light is the second prohibition on entering the ghost domain.
Brother Pingtou is noncommittal, for entering the land of Chumeng, he is also the first time that the eldest girl has been on the sedan chair, although the knife is the leader, but the previous leader did not teach him the secret, so he went to those obscure places a few years ago, also to find a way to enter the ghost domain.
At the moment, we have no choice but to open this door.
The iron door was not too thick, and it seemed that it was often opened, and it didn't take much effort to open it.
Behind the door was a more lush jungle, but not the same as before, this one grew naturally and was disorganized, and the lush and chaotic branches stretched everywhere with no end in sight.
It was already dawn, but the vegetation was too lush to block out the sunlight, and it looked even darker and more oppressive.
Flathead took a machete and cut down weeds and branches in front of him to make the way, and his beard scraped off the ancient elephant script on the door, and we began to march deep into the dense forest.
What the hell is this place of light? The beard used the butt of the gun to pull away those annoying branches, and the flathead brother had already cut all the way, but the vegetation here was really lush, and many of the tiny branches were hung with tiny barbs, which accidentally cut the skin, and soon we all hung colors, but the wound was very small, and I didn't feel pain, but I felt irritable.
The ancient elephant people have different interpretations of light, and not all light is the literal meaning we understand, and it may also be the name of a god.
As he was talking, Brother Pingtou suddenly stopped, and we saw that something appeared in the messy grass in front of us.
It was only a dozen meters away from us, but it was seriously obscured by vegetation, and I couldn't see what it was, and I could only make out that it was a black-green humanoid thing.
Beard raised the gun, and we cats slowly touched it.
Walking in, I took a long breath, it turned out to be a stone statue, more than one person high, the base has been wrapped with a thick layer of vines, the stone statue is also everywhere, and the moss all over the place can no longer distinguish the original face of the stone statue.
It seems that we have entered the confines of the Ancient Elephant City. Brother Pingtou used a knife to scrape off the moss on the face of the stone statue, it was a Buddha statue, and strangely, the Buddha statue was with its eyes closed.
The beard smacked, looking at the posture, this is a sitting Buddha preaching instead of a reclining Buddha, why is the Buddha statue still with its eyes closed? Sleepy preaching? Or is there a stylistic difference between Bon and later Buddhism?
Brother Pingtou also shook his head and said that he didn't understand, we know very little about the ancient elephant civilization, and we can't simply use Buddhist culture to interpret her, since the Buddha statue has appeared, it proves that we are in the right direction.
Following the direction of the Buddha statue, we continued to move forward, and after walking for about half an hour, another stone statue appeared, following the previous stone statue, this Buddha statue also had its eyes closed.
For a moment, I thought I was lost and returned to the place just now, but if I think about it, it is impossible, the Buddha statue just now, the moss on the face was scraped off by us, and this one is not, that is to say, this is indeed a statue exactly like the one just now.
This is a bit of a problem, why are there two identical Buddha statues in different places, and both with their eyes closed? It doesn't make sense, even if there are differences between Bon and Buddhism, but Buddhism originated from Bon, and the basic teachings and universal values are still the same.
Thinking about it, I saw that there was something wrong with the bearded and flat-headed brothers, their eyes didn't know when they started to be bloodshot, and they were still rubbing their eyes from time to time.
What's going on with you? I saw that their eyes were a little glazed, and I couldn't help but feel a shock in my heart.
The beard scolded, no, don't look at the stone statue, this thing is a bit evil, why do I feel that I can't see things clearly?
Brother Pingtou is right, after seeing the first stone statue, I feel that my eyes are not very comfortable, my vision is getting weaker and weaker, and now I can't see anything clearly. I know why the stone statues have their eyes closed, which should be a hint.
I looked into the distance, no, my eyesight has not been affected, I can see things clearly, as for saying that this stone statue is doing tricks, it is even more unreasonable, we just looked at it a few times, and the meter has touched it, and it is an ordinary stone, and there is no strong light stimulation, how can it affect people's eyesight?
It's broken, why can't I see anything? The beard suddenly tensed up, and he slashed back and forth with his gun, knocking off all the leaves around him.
I was afraid that he would lose his mind, so I hurriedly dodged the gun, and then the flat-headed brother said that he couldn't see anything either, and I shook my hand in front of his eyes, just to see that his eyes were dull and there was no reaction.
It's over, something happened! I gasped and quickly pulled them both away from the statue, using my machete to cut a clearing for them to sit down and rest.
In this case, I don't dare to say whether it has anything to do with the stone statue, but I know very well that if the bearded and flat-headed brothers really become blind, at this time, in this strange jungle, I can't protect any of them, and once we meet the sentry, all three of us may all fold here.
Nervous, I pulled down the pistol, and my beard suddenly became excited: "What's the situation?" ”
It's okay, I took a long breath and was nervous just now.
That's not right, uncle! Flathead take my hand, can you see something?
