I disagreed with the successive views, and retorted: "Perhaps the king ordered the master to not be allowed to depict his appearance and expression?" ”

saw him lower his eyebrows and said, "Xiao Jiu, after reading the story engraved on the entire mural, don't you think it has a strong subjective consciousness?" Basically, from beginning to end, the angle of portrayal is subjective. At first, the king carved his country to be prosperous and peaceful, but when the war broke out, a strange woman stood out and helped the army to victory. So the king gave him the title, but in the blink of an eye the woman died in the flames, and when the king arrived, he saw only a tombstone. Later it turned out that the woman had faked her death, and she begged him for help with something, and what she should have asked for was in the lake, and the woman succeeded in getting what she wanted and left again. The last few paintings are more abstract, probably meaning that he and the woman did not end well, and in the end he was still the only one left. ”

In just a few sentences, all the scenes are carved into a story, which is short and easy to understand. After being analyzed by him, he felt that it was indeed very subjective, but it could not be ruled out that it was the henchmen around the king who helped him carve.

One after another, he asked me noncommittally: "How many people do you think are highlighted in these carved murals?" Of course, I replied, "Two people, a king, and a woman." But he shook his head and gestured three fingers: "It's three people." ”

I glanced back at the stone wall and asked, "Who else is there?" Walking back one after another, almost to the beginning of the mural, he pointed to one of the spots, "It's him." "I went over to him and saw who he was referring to, the shaman who had been on the high platform in the palace square at the beginning. I can't help but wonder, "Why is he also one of the prominent figures?" ”

"Because he seems to be just an ordinary shaman, but he appears in many scenes."

It sounds even more strange, doesn't it only happen here once? What other scenes will appear in the future? Seeing the confusion on my face, he took my hand and walked to the scene of the war, pointing to a place in the corner, where half of a person's shoulder was exposed, "This is him." ”

When I looked closely, I saw that the garment that showed off half of my shoulders did indeed resemble the garment of a shaman. He then pointed to the king standing alone at the edge of the scene in front of the grave, where there was a foot, "This is him too." ”

Subsequently, sure enough, on some specific occasions, the figure of the shaman can be seen more or less, even if it is not fully depicted, but it exists.

He asked one after another: "Xiao Jiu, why do you think this shaman is also engraved in it?" ”

I thought for a moment and then replied, "Perhaps he was a very important figure to the king. He said, "Not only the king, but also the woman." Looking at the essence through appearance, this person could have been the highest high priest of this country, but for some reason, he was relegated to another city outside the imperial city, that is, the place where the war took place, and he not only knew the woman, but also had an extraordinary relationship. The woman's fake death is most likely what he arranged to escape, and later the woman appeared and begged the king to be for him, as for the result, no matter who the three are, it is estimated that it will not be good. So in the end, the king stood alone between the desolate heaven and the earth, and the sky was dark. ”

After listening to what he said, three words appeared in my mind: love triangle?

Well, I'm beginning to believe that the carvings were carved by the king, who was obviously an outsider all along, so he was subjectively tragic. In ancient times, kings were sometimes really sad, and they may not have understood the meaning of existence after spending their entire lives.

I asked, "Do you think this story is true?" Got his low chuckle, "Xiao Jiu, this is the most sentimental you've ever been." Whether it's true or not, it's all about how many years have passed in the past, just take a look, just understand the background of this ancient cave. His heart moved slightly, and he asked: "You mean that the founder of this ancient cave is this king?" ”

"Possibly, but not necessarily. Although the ancient cave originally existed naturally, the follow-up defense of the skillful spring technique was definitely operated by a master, and ordinary people were afraid that it would be difficult to reach this layer, but the carved pictures on this stone wall proved that the king had been here. In addition to the translation of the text written on the bronze tablet that we obtained earlier, the mention of the dragon vein is very relevant to the king. However, it cannot be ruled out that the king has found someone who understands the number of tricks to arrange this ancient cave, and under normal circumstances, no king will go so far as to do all these 'technical work'. Of course, these carvings in front of him are exceptions, which belong to a kind of emotional catharsis for him. ”

In the end, it is roughly judged that it is either this king, or the henchmen beside him, in short, he has a close relationship with the king.

There was no talk and there was silence for a moment, and the atmosphere seemed a little delicate. After a moment of silence, I asked if I wanted to go to the opposite stone wall to see if there were any carvings, and I glanced over there, "No, let's go forward." "There is fluorescence on the engraving here, and when you stand here and look at the opposite side, you don't see any flashes, and there shouldn't be.

The two walked a few steps, and when they heard that they were speechless, they thought you liked these things. I snorted perfunctorily in reply, and when he touched a soft nail, he shut up and went on in silence.

In the gloom, he looked down at the ball beads in his hand, and secretly thought that there were originally two of them, and the other one was left for him, and then he couldn't see it, so it should have been taken by Xiang Wan. I was thinking about this in my head, when suddenly my hand was pulled tightly by my side, blocking my steps.

Instinctively looked at him suspiciously, and saw that his starry eyes were staring forward, and his expression was particularly solemn. Turning his gaze to look at the past, he felt a sigh in his heart, the space was too big, the light was too shallow, and the visual range was not large, and he vaguely saw a human-like figure standing there in front of him.

Suddenly, a series of names flashed, and finally froze in the evening. I don't think the rest of the people can come to this layer so quickly, even if Yan Jiu and a few people use it, the level of more than twenty meters high, it is unlikely that they will be able to get here one step ahead of us. As for the others, they don't think about it anymore, it's all about their own insecurity. Only in the evening, she has a diagram of the structure of this ancient cave, and there may be a road to the bottom on the diagram. She never came back after she heard the sound and went out, fighting hard with Yan Jiu? Apparently not.

I was analyzing it a little bit in my heart, and I noticed that the fingers were ticking between my palms one after another, and I soon realized that he was writing: It's not late.

He should know me well enough now to catch my thoughts quickly, but he said not to be late? I squinted my eyes and looked closely, it was really hard to see, just a black figure that looked like a human, standing straight and motionless.

Having come here, there is no reason to flinch because of a dark shadow. The two of them walked in unison, and their feet were lightened step by step, and the black shadow became clearer and clearer, and it was determined that it was a person, but the closer they got there, the more strange it felt. There is no undulation of the body at all, and there is no breath, and it can be judged from the shape of the body that it should not be too late, she is relatively slender, and this body shape is biased towards a man.

Suddenly, he said, "He's dead." "My heart trembled and it dawned on me that this is indeed the case, only the dead can have no ups and downs and breath. After learning that the other party was dead, the hanging heart was relatively calm, and the steps under my feet couldn't help but speed up, and when I was only three or four meters away, I stopped abruptly one after another, and the hand holding me trembled.

I quickly understood where his anomaly came from, this figure three meters away, was draped in clothes that looked like ...... Brother Liang's. Could it be that this person is Brother Liang? The next moment, he let go of my hand and strode forward, around the figure in front of him, and then I saw his eyes widen in amazement, his heart sank, and he hurriedly ran to his side to look around, but he was stunned.

It's not Brother Liang, but ...... He Jianguo.

Except for Brother Liang, the father and son are very similar in shape, so it's no wonder that they will admit mistakes one after another. But He Jianguo's appearance at the moment is really terrifying, his eyes are bulging, his mouth is wide open, and he seems to have seen something extremely frightening before he died.

Looking down to inspect it, I saw that the mud began to grow from his feet, and when it reached his thighs, it only covered his front body, and spread until his neck, which was equivalent to him being half-molded in the mud, no wonder he did not fall down after his death. As for the cause of death, I suspect that the mud microbes invaded through his throat and caused his death.

After a moment's hesitation, he reached out to touch his face, and then closed his eyelids. I thought that the mood of the succession at this time must be very complicated, but in the next moment, I heard him say: "It's cold, the time of death is at least two hours, and it is not yet completely stiff, within four hours." ”

That is to say, if something happened before and after we fell here, and go to see the rock mud that solidified on He Jianguo's body again, will it be killed by Xiang Wan? Presumably they are also thinking about this issue one after another, there is no doubt that the sudden disappearance of Brother Liang and the three of them in front of Han Dongling's eyes was done by Xiang Wan. But at that time, nearly two days had passed since now, and judging from the degree of hardening of He Jianguo's body, he had been dead for a few hours at most, so where were they during the previous time?

In addition, Brother Liang took off his clothes to put on his father, apparently they were together after the accident, why was He Jianguo alone at this time, where did Brother Liang and the madman go? What did He Jianguo see before he died, so that he was so frightened?

There are so many questions that go through my head, but there are no answers. After going around the side one after another, they came to pull me and said, "Let's go." The tone was a little agitated, and his face became paler. I glanced at the corpse still standing there, and without saying a word, I walked quickly with him.

As expected, the road ahead is no longer smooth, and there are potholes from time to time, which shows that this place has experienced a churning of mud microorganisms not long ago, and now it has hardened on the ground. When he saw the black shadow standing for the second time, he was no longer as frightened as before, and he noticed that his hands were cold, and he didn't know if it was due to his weakness, or because most of the people in the ancient cave had a relationship with him.

"I'll take a look first." With that, he let go of his hand and ran straight to the shadow.
