CHAPTER XXVI
"Let's go!" After thinking about it for a long time, my old man finally made a decision.
In the place where we just came in behind us, I don't know what terrible danger there is, because Liu Fangping has died behind us, and the culprit who killed him has still not been found. Now, if you lead the big guy back, there is a certain amount of risk.
As for what lies ahead, maybe you're lucky enough to keep going and get out of this weird ravine!
After thinking of this, my old man thought carefully and led everyone to continue to walk towards the black fog ahead.
After hitting the road again, the distance between several people was very close.
The fat man and I were protected in the middle by two old men, a group of four people carefully guarded the surroundings, and several people slowly groped forward in the black fog.
My old man is still at the forefront, playing the role of a pioneer, this role is equivalent to the vanguard of the war, and it is really a test in such a sinister environment.
In wartime, when danger arises, it is often the vanguard who is the first to encounter danger.
In the dense black fog, the slightest strangeness will be exchanged for a few people's panic, Liu Fangping's death has cast a psychological shadow on each of us, and every step is a worry.
In this way, after a few people trembled along the ravine and walked forward for a distance in the black fog, my old man suddenly stopped again.
As soon as my old man stopped, several people behind him subconsciously raised the sapper shovel in his hand at the same time, and the fat man picked up a big stone from his feet and held it tightly in his hand, for him, this big stone is much easier than the sapper shovel.
"What's wrong?" I whispered behind the old man as I looked ahead.
In fact, without my old man's answer, I saw what made my old man stop.
A meter or two in front of a few people, a faint black shadow suddenly appeared again, and the black shadow was divided into two, which were also extremely tall, standing straight in front of several people without moving.
At this time, several people who followed behind my old man saw a black shadow a few meters in front of them, and they must have been frightened by this tall guy standing still, and no one knew what was standing there.
There were two black shadows standing not far in front of the black fog, one on the left and one on the right, with a distance of nearly ten meters between them.
Judging from the distance from which they stand, it is somewhat similar to the two sets of stone statues we saw before.
It's just that even if it's really just two stone statues standing there now, it will make us feel terrified in our hearts, and no one will forget Liu Fangping's strange death.
Perhaps Liu Fangping's death has something to do with these strange stone statues.
The old man of my family squatted down slightly, his eyes widened, and he stared at the black shadow not far in front of him for a long time with the corpse bell in his hand, and finally said with certainty: "There should be any danger, this is just a stone statue!" ”
That's right, the two stone statues that suddenly appeared were the same, just like the ones we had seen before, but the shape of these two stone statues was a little different from the stone statues of the Western Queen Mother and the red snake in front of them.
The stone statues of the Queen Mother of the West that we saw before are not only weird, but also in a kneeling posture, and there are some indescribable weirdness, in short, it makes people look very uncomfortable.
The two stone statues in front of me look much more pleasing to the eye, and it seems that these are two very tall sitting stone statues.
It is also a person from the West Queen Mother's family, but the level is obviously different, these two people sit on the throne carved from two pieces of blood-red strange jade, and the throne is carved with dragons and phoenixes, which is not gorgeous.
Two people with nine tails sat on the Blood Jade Throne, and the material of the stone statue itself was not the ordinary bluestone we saw before, but was carved from white jade similar to Hetian.
We can only see the lower body of these two stone statues, and that's because the carvings of these two stone statues are so real and too tall. Everyone looked up and could only barely see the waist part of the stone statue that was more than two meters tall, and the part above the waist of the stone statue was all hidden in the dense black fog, and they couldn't see it at all.
When I got closer, I saw the stone statue, my old man did not breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, but felt more and more strange, the stone statue will appear at a distance, this format layout is really weird, so that the old man reminded the stone statues on both sides of the Imperial Tomb Shinto.
This layout is indeed very similar to the stone statues, and the most famous of them is the Qianling Tomb of Wu Zetian in the Tang Dynasty.
Qianling as Wu Zetian and his husband Tang Gaozong Li Zhi joint burial tomb, on both sides of its Shinto respectively set up Huabiao, Qiyi, Pixiu, Pleiades chicken, Baxia and so on various stone statues, in addition, in the Qianling also erected sixty-one stone statues, the existence of these stone statues is because after the death of Tang Gaozong Li Zhi, the princes and envoys of various countries came to the Tang Dynasty capital Chang'an to mourn, and personally went to the Qianling to send funeral.
In order to commemorate the grand occasion at that time and highlight the strength of the country, Wu Zetian ordered the people to participate in the princes and envoys of various countries, and carved sixty-one statues in life-size imitations.
Although there are many stone statues in the Qianling, at most there are not many stone statues and human statues of mythical beasts in legends.
But the stone statues here are far less peaceful and calm than those in Qianling.
The stone statues in the ravine were not only weird, but they were not normal human figures at all, but a humanoid monster with nine tails, and the shape of a strange snake.
Snakes in the Chinese culture is an ominous and cold thing, generally speaking, it is impossible to carve stone statues to worship, even if there is, it is the kind of dragon with dragon horns, or the mythical beast Teng snake, and the strange snake stone statue here is weird and gloomy, and it really appears in front of us, which makes people shudder after seeing the same.
With this in mind, my old man told the others behind him about these thoughts, so that everyone could be mentally prepared, so as not to be frightened after seeing any strange stone statues again.
The two stone statues just now appeared suddenly, because the black fog obscured the line of sight, when my old man found the stone statues, we were only a few meters away from the stone statues.
If there were not stone statues at this distance, but something else, it would be unimaginable.
Along the way, we have seen a lot of red snakes, the stone statues of the Queen Mother of the West, when we came to these two stone statues, and then continued to walk forward for a distance of more than ten meters, the fog at the end of the ravine changed again, the fog here is not particularly dense, and the visibility suddenly expanded by more than ten meters.
However, this improvement in visibility did not bring any mood swings to our group.
At the end of the ravine, we saw a cliff that plunged into the fog, in other words, we had reached a dead end, and there was no road ahead.
