The strong smell of blood and the cold air gushing up from the depths of the cave made me shiver. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The beard wiped the bayonet with his sleeve, then gave me a wink, beckoned us to follow, and walked down.
I understood the meaning of the beard, so I immediately deliberately tightened my shoelaces and followed behind Li Sanmin, so that I could find out in time if he had any small movements.
Li Sanmin had to guard against it, this is the tacit understanding I share with Hu Zi. Although the knife was a little repulsive to the beard at first, I believe that the knife would at most leave us alone and would not cause us danger, and Li Sanmin, this guy has always made me feel very uncomfortable.
The sheer sheer size of the steps was a headache and we went down very slowly. After walking for about 200 meters, murals appeared on the stone walls on both sides.
The content of the mural is clear, it is a scene of scuffle. The melee consisted of two sides, one was a group of ancient soldiers, there were no flags, and my knowledge of ancient armor was not good enough, and it was difficult to tell the era in which those soldiers lived from the armor alone. On the other side, it looks a little weird, the kind of shadows we saw before, and it seems that the painter has not been able to see the real appearance of those shadows, so what is presented on the mural is also a vague concept of shadows. However, the painter is quite skillful, and it can be seen that the melee was very tragic, and the mural uses a rather elaborate oil paint, but unfortunately it is too old, and most of the oil paint has fallen off.
The mural has no background and it is impossible to tell where the scuffle took place. The number of ancient soldiers was very large, and the shadows were sparsely surrounded by soldiers into many small circles, but judging from the number of fallen soldiers, although the shadows were small in number, they had an absolute advantage in combat effectiveness, and ninety percent of the soldiers who fell in the pool of blood were those soldiers.
I took a flashlight and looked at it and saw that the mural was quite long. But the content on the mural is very simple, except for the melee or melee, the tragic battle scene has hardly changed, the only thing that has changed is that the number of soldiers is getting smaller and smaller.
The murals are very realistic, and the dead soldiers die in various poses, with almost no repetition, which makes me feel as if I am watching a real combat duel, and if there were war correspondents in those days, this mural must have been completed by him.
The mural was almost a hundred meters long, and by the end of the day, all the soldiers had disappeared, replaced by mountains of dead bodies, and the shadows were clearing the battlefield. This kind of scene makes me a little uncomfortable, I don't know where those shadows are, and they actually killed such a huge human army, no wonder Li Sanmin would say that we are not the opponents of those shadows.
Hu Zi said angrily: "***, if this battle really exists, then the history of human warfare will probably be rewritten." ”
"Written history is not entirely authoritative." Li Sanmin said: "I don't know if you have found a very strange phenomenon in the archaeological world, that is, often in the process of archaeology, instead of using history books to carry out archaeology, but after the archaeology is completed, the history books are changed. ”
"You're saying that this battle really existed, but it wasn't recorded?" I asked.
Li Sanmin shook his head: "I don't know, in the world, there is nothing that absolutely does not exist." This mural would not have been imagined by people, and he painted it in such a place, but not in the history books, which shows that the battle was closed by the rulers at that time. ”
"It's no wonder that this battle ended almost completely in the human army, and no humble ruler was willing to be recorded." After the beard finished speaking, everyone continued to walk down, and then they found that the terrain of the line began to flatten out, and the steps disappeared, replaced by the bluestone slab floor, and I faintly felt that the bloody atmosphere became more and more intense, which also made me more nervous.
Soon, we found a body in front.
It was the corpse of a foreigner, lying in a pool of blood, and when the beard turned him over, the congealed blood covered all his face.
"It's someone from Yu Su's company." I looked at the jacket worn by the foreigner, and the armband had the English initials of their company on it.
Two or three meters in front of the corpse, there was a broken rifle, and the beard picked it up and said, "The grade has dropped, it seems that Yu Su's company has done a lot of loss-making transactions recently." After saying that, he threw away the rifle with a little distress.
"He was pierced through the heart with a sharp weapon." Li Sanmin dragged the body aside and shook his head.
I looked at the big pool of blood on the ground and wondered, "Even if he pierced the heart, the amount of blood would be too large, and I felt that all the blood on his body was flowing out." ”
"It's bleeding!" Li Sanmin said: "It seems that this foreigner has met those shadows, which is why I sought your help, those shadows should be the guards of the Niangniang Tomb." ”
I thought about it, and suddenly remembered the first time I came to Xiangxi with Li Laohan and them, and overheard the tomb robber Qiu'er in the mountains, about the story of Cao Wei sending troops to excavate Niangniang's tomb, and linked the content of the mural with this story. Could it be that those shadows are really Yin soldiers? Imagine being able to completely annihilate such a powerful human army, it seems that only Yin soldiers can do it, but I don't think there really exist Yin soldiers in this world, I would rather think of them as those mysterious civilizations that have not yet been discovered.
"Come and see!" At this time, Abang suddenly shouted in front, we hurriedly walked over, and found that Abang was shining deep with a flashlight, and we immediately saw that not far ahead, there were more than a dozen corpses lying horizontally, including foreigners and Chinese, and those Chinese I knew, all of them were guys brought down by Aqiu.
Those people died in a particularly horrible manner, their eyes were very frightening, there was no blood at all, and a large patch of coagulated blood almost stuck everyone together.
