Chapter 375: The mural is carved in stone
In the square pit created after the sinking of the stone plaque, a number of small stone statues slowly rose, those stone statues were only the size of a thumb, each of which was very delicately carved, lifelike, and different, and looked like a scene drama when connected.
Because I was worried that those stone statues had hidden mechanisms, I didn't have the heart to look at the murals on the wall again, and hurriedly walked back to Leng Yue and Zhang Yi's side.
Zhang Yi and Leng Yue were both on full alert, and when they saw me return unharmed, they obviously relaxed.
I frowned and asked, "What's going on?" ”
I'm pretty sure I didn't touch any of the mechanisms just now, so this shouldn't have happened.
Zhang Yi said with some embarrassment: "I'm so tired, I wanted to straighten my waist by leaning on a stone plaque, but I didn't expect ......."
I understood what was going on, and quickly waved his hand to signal that he didn't need to continue, and then waved my hand in the direction we came, and retreated with the two of them.
However, just as we stepped out of the square, the floor tiles around the square suddenly collapsed partially, and many fist-sized round holes appeared in an instant, one next to the other, very dense.
I was startled, and hurriedly beckoned Leng Yue and Zhang Yi to return to the square.
In the time of only one breath, spikes suddenly appeared from those round holes, and they were extremely violent, and if we hadn't retreated in time, I am afraid they would have been pierced into a sieve.
After the spikes came out completely, they slowly retreated, and after the belt was all withdrawn from the hole, they came out again.
"It's over, I can't get out." Zhang Yi was a little annoyed and a little blamed.
I sighed, and said in my heart that no matter which one of them was Shen Dali, they would definitely not mess around like Zhang Yi. It's inexperienced, it's really deadly.
Leng Yue stared at the spikes with green eyes, reached out and tapped the iron chopsticks lightly, then stepped forward and raised her leg and kicked on one of the spikes.
Listening to the "click", the spikes were kicked off by Leng Yuesheng, and the rubble collapsed all over the ground.
Leng Yue picked up the broken spikes, and when the spikes slowly shrank back below the ground, he stuffed the spikes in his hand upside down into a hole.
I only heard a "click" sound, and the ground suddenly shook, and the spikes that were about to emerge only showed a small section, and then stopped, it seemed that Leng Yue had stuck the huge mechanism underground.
"Get out?" Leng Yue turned her head and asked me and Zhang Yi, who was already stunned.
I looked back at the stone carvings all over the ground and the stone plaque in the center painted with murals, and after thinking about it for a moment, I shook my head and said, "Don't worry, I want to see." ”
I made this decision based on two considerations.
First, I want to have a better understanding of the ancient country of Jinsha. Only with enough understanding can I know more clearly where there may be traps and traps in this place, and I can prepare in advance.
The second is to determine whether there are relief balls here. Such an important thing should not be reflected in the mural.
However, this is just a preliminary conjecture of mine. Because it is important, it is very likely to be deliberately hidden. It's like when I was in the Goguryeo tomb on Longshou Mountain and in the mirage ancient house, I didn't get any hints until I got the relief orb.
Leng Yue said casually: "Look." Then sit on the floor, take a short break and adjust, and start checking your own skin injuries.
Zhang Yi seemed to want to follow me, but after careful consideration, he seemed to feel safer next to Leng Yue, so he stayed.
I walked slowly, cautiously with each step, skirting the small stone sculptures all over the ground, returning to the side of the huge stone plaque in the center, holding up my flashlight and looking upward.
What disappointed me a little was that although the mural on the stone tablet was very dense, there was only one scene depicted, which was a fragment of the ancient Shu kingdom before it migrated westward.
On the mural, including several kings, all the monarchs and subjects of the ancient Shu Kingdom and many small surrounding countries are bowing to the air. There is an auspicious cloud in the sky, and there are two people standing on the cloud, one in a black robe and the other in a white robe, both with a pair of green eyes, and a shrunken iron chopsticks stuck in their waists, which really looks like immortals.
It's just that after seeing the frescoes on the altar and the bloody scenes in the dungeon, I already have a very bad impression of these two people.
Immortal? Demon!
On the mural, both men are sideways, pointing in one direction.
In the direction they pointed, a cloud spread out a circular hole, and in it was a huge basin, and the abalone-like shape should be the Tarim Basin where we are currently located.
I said how those people in the ancient Shu Kingdom crossed layers of danger like crazy, and had to rush to the Tarim Basin to settle in the Tarim Basin desperately, but it turned out that this was the case, and it was the two people in black and white robes who made trouble.
This side of the plaque is such a huge mural, but what about the other side?
When I went around to the stone plaque, I found that the other side of the plaque was also painted with a mural, but the form of the mural had changed.
The mural here is divided into a number of paintings, each separated by flame patterns, and the content is incoherent, as if depicting some key points in time.
For example, in the first painting, the king of Jinsha wearing a golden mask bows to the two in black and white robes; The second painting shows the black-and-white robes treating the King of Sands, who is lying on the ground with his head tilted...... I don't know how many paintings it is, but it depicts the King of Sands raising his sword and leading his army on the city wall to meet another army from deep in the desert......
Looking at the murals one by one, I already had a preliminary impression and tried to relate some of the information I had received to the content of the murals.
What makes me feel helpless and depressed is that there are so many murals on the stone plaque, and none of them are related to the relief balls.
In any case, we have come here, and we have no reason to give up halfway, we have to go to the king of the golden sands to walk around the palace, and make sure that we can't find the relief orb, so I am willing to give up.
I turned my head to look at a group of stone sculptures on the ground not far from me, and upon closer inspection, I was surprised to find that the contents of the stone sculptures were exactly the same as the contents of a mural on a huge stone plaque.
Since it is the same, it means repetition.
The fact that the builders of the dungeon went to great lengths to design murals and stone carvings in the same location to record those images must prove that these recorded events were of extraordinary significance to King Sands.
So, what exactly is this square-like place for? Whether the ancient Shu characters on those stone tablets are explanations of these events, or the names of people one by one, I am afraid that they can only be lost to future generations to study.
I raised my flashlight and looked at the murals on the wall, and found that although each mural seemed to have little connection with each other, based on some of the events we had learned before, I could roughly restore that period of history by using these murals as a reference.
