The coffin was badly damaged. It's completely falling apart. The side panels lie on the ground diagonally. The lid of the coffin is gone. Wood chips are piled up everywhere. The smell of decay allowed me to smell the mold build-up on it.

All of us were focused on the highly decomposed coffin. I held my breath in unison. It's as if they're worried that they're going to suck the mold into their bodies.

According to the painted reality on the stone pillars. When the sacrifice is carried out to this step. It's almost the end. The next step is to place the deceased in the coffin.

But. Here we are four big living people. Where there are dead people.

The sacrifice goes to this point. It has had to be stopped.

I wondered what was going to happen next. But I didn't expect to hear the sound of "Kuang Dangdang" metal hitting stones. I quickly turned my head to look. unexpectedly found that Zhu Yuke disappeared inexplicably like he appeared inexplicably.

The golden scepter rolls on the ground. Crash into the raised coffin. Shook it a few times. Stopped.

"Where's that guy?" Shen Dali muttered quietly beside him.

It seems to have been struck by a golden scepter. The only half of the coffin board that was standing "clicked" and shattered to the ground. And it was shattered to the core. The scattered sawdust piled up on the ground to form a mound.

A moment later. The black fog that enveloped the entire high platform dissipated in the blink of an eye. The flames under the giant dome were also extinguished in an instant. It's as if it's just our illusion. Nothing actually happened.

But. If it's a hallucination. The remains of the coffin, which had decayed into splinters, were still there. It seems to remind us. What we have just seen and heard is like a real thing.

We're in doubt. When I don't know what to do next. The myriad glowing plants that had grown from inside the altar began to shrunk and turn black. The light gradually dimmed. Whether it's vines or foliage. Even the fruits and flowers that grew on it began to wither. It shrinks into black, dry fibers in an instant. Quietly returned to the darkness.

Shen Dali and Zhang Yi lit up the flashlight. When lighting up everything around you. The plants were completely gone. It's as if it never grows.

I have never seen a plant like this. I don't care where those plants go. I only stopped my gaze on Leng Yue's body.

He was walking cautiously forward. Staring at the bright green eyes. The golden scepter lying on the ground gradually approached. And eventually pick it up.

The golden scepter returned to Cold Moon's hand. We stared at the cold moon. No one spoke. But everyone's breathing was a little heavier. Even my heart beat hard. It's almost like rushing out of the chest.

We waited for two or three minutes. See that nothing is happening anymore. Only then did he let out a long sigh of relief.

Cold Moon inserted the golden scepter into her belt. Don't do it behind your back. Strode to the edge of the high platform. After looking down for a moment. Raise your hand and point in one direction and shout at us, "Go over there." ”

We wonder and keep up. Hold up the flashlight and point at the cold moon. See a stone bridge that leads into the endless darkness. It's the same stone bridge we've locked down the way out of the road before.

Thereupon. We lined up and stepped down the stone steps to get off the high platform.

I'm in the process of going down. I couldn't help but look at the paintings on the stone pillars again. There is endless emotion in my heart.

No matter how much the ancients longed for immortality. But in the end, it is inevitable that you will have to face death. Even fear and awe.

Not much. One by one, we returned to the ground of the platform.

Because the direction has been locked in advance. We quickly found the nearest way.

On both sides of the road are still the huge statues of human faces. Think of how they sang when the sacrifice just appeared. I couldn't help but shudder.

I hope there won't be any more moths out of these statues. I'm really fed up with the statues. I even considered replacing swear words with stone statues for swearing in the future. To show my greatest abhorrence.

Like what. I was upset with Zhang Yi one day. I can scold him for being a stone statue. scolded him, his whole family and his ancestors were stone statues for eighteen generations.

Think about it this way. The originally depressed and dull mood suddenly relaxed a lot.

Zhang Yi suddenly noticed that I was looking at him with strange eyes. Touched his face suspiciously. Ask me, "I have something on my face." ”

I quickly shook my head and said no. It is inevitable that there will be some embarrassment.

Walk through this area of stone statues. We arrived within reach of the stone statue of the beast's head and human body.

Leng Yue stepped forward silently to open the way. However, after walking for a long distance, I did not find any movement in the stone statues of these beast-headed human bodies.

And that's not all. As we walked through the area of the stone statue of the head of the beast. When you arrive at the old woman statue area. There was still no danger encountered.

I guess. Either the sacrifice is over, and the tight mechanisms of these statues are lifted. Either that, or the stone statues in this area aren't in any danger in the first place.

It took about half an hour. We walked through the stone statue area. Arrive near the stone bridge.

This stone bridge is different from what we have walked before. The lower half of it was enveloped in billowing yellow mist. And very full-bodied. For a long time. It looks a bit like a miasma.

Fortunately, these miasma has no tendency to rise. And I didn't see any insects in it. Therefore, it is not estimated that it is very dangerous.

There is a stone statue on each side of the entrance to the stone bridge. The overall style is quite different from the ones we've seen before. And it is not unusual to see male and female lions. Rather, it was two half-man-tall mandrills.

The stone is white overall. But it's not white marble. Because the surface is rougher. Dense potholes. Without the slightest luster.

The mandrill's hair is not depicted in detail. It is represented by only a few lines.

Its hands and feet are carved very simply. They were all carved into oval shapes. Only a few dents distinguish its fingers and toes.

Compared with. Its facial features are very delicately carved. Especially those eyes. faintly revealed a different look.

Shen Dali smiled and said, "Fifth brother." You say that the craftsman who carved this stone statue was lazy. Or the two stone statues were halfway through the carving and the work stopped. It's weird. ”

I shook my head. He said, "The statues are all carved." There will be no difference between these two. It must have some meaning. ”

Zhang Yi asked suspiciously, "What does it mean?" ”

Leng Yue interjected, "Guess. ”

Zhang Yi said angrily: "I didn't ask you. I asked Wu Yishu what about it. ”

I spread my hands. Helplessly, he said he didn't know.

Mi Duo couldn't understand what we were talking about. Some anxious. hurriedly gestured and urged us to cross the bridge.

I also don't want to waste time and energy bickering. He also urged the others to cross the bridge.

Now that the solidity of the stone bridge has been determined. So we went up the bridge together. Line up and proceed carefully. Cold Moon is at the forefront. Protect yourself with iron chopsticks. A pair of green eyes vigilantly focused on the sides. I pricked up my ears and listened. Pray in our hearts that nothing will come out of below and attack us.

Shen Dali lowered his voice and asked me, "Fifth brother." Don't you think that the yellow mist below looks like the legendary Yellow Spring? The bridge we're walking on won't be the Nai He Bridge. ”
