My eyes were fixed on the knife above the girl's head again, and I couldn't help but take out the shadow moon in my arms and compare it, and found that it was very similar to the painting in terms of shape and length, but the scale of this painting was reduced, especially the handle of the knife was the most obvious.

The scabbard is similar or possible, and this knife is inserted in the scabbard, so I can't pull out the knife in the picture to compare it to Shadow Moon, I can only look at the shape of the handle. The pattern of the handle of the shadow moon is different, the general one is to depict the circle pattern, and some may be crossed lines, but it looks like there is nothing carved on it, it is the texture of the rubbing, but there are actually very small patterns, which are densely stacked together. The person who made this weapon must have put a lot of effort into it.

The joint between the handle and the blade is a small arc that curves upward. The relief carvings in the painting are exactly the same, and the fine lines are represented by fine traces.

Sheng Shiyao said: "There is no need to compare, it is the same knife, unless there is another identical shadow moon in this world." ”

It's possible that he said it, but it's very unlikely, because the ancients didn't usually make the same blades for the sake of uniqueness. Just like the world-famous cadres and Mo Ye, for thousands of years, they have been called divine weapons precisely because they are unparalleled in the world.

I accidentally touched a certain part of the carving, and the original static carving changed again, similar to before, the carving was divided into two sides and moved on its own, and you could see that there were carvings in the place where it slowly unfolded. This kind of double-layer relief carving is so amazing that if you take it to the museum, you will be shocked by the world.

What's even more peculiar is that because the reliefs themselves are carved in the middle of the body of the black-winged bat, removing one layer is already equivalent to digging a piece on its body, and now removing another layer is more concave inward. Taking advantage of the fact that the figure was not yet fully revealed, I meditated in my heart, could it be that the body of this bat was actually empty, composed of layers of carvings?

Because the lamps in the stone room here are only on the four corners, the brightness is not enough, and our night vision devices are green, so it is a little laborious to look at the murals on the second floor, so Sheng Shiyao took out a flashlight to illuminate it in order to see clearly. But when we stared closely, we both froze at the same time, and I stared straight at it, and fear was born in my heart.

It's not that the carving has a horrific scene, but that the back layer depicts the same as the previous one, with only one person.

Sorcerer.

The wizard had seen the mural before, and it didn't make me afraid, but all the previous murals carved the wizard had a black canopy covering his head, covering all his face, and his black canopy was removed from the carving in front of him, revealing his true face.

When I spoke, I noticed that my voice trembled slightly: "That's ...... Khitan king? ”

Once in the stone chamber of the lonely village of Green Lake, we once saw a portrait of the Khitan king, and the biggest feature of the portrait was not that he was noblely dressed, but that he wore a silver mask on his face. The face of the wizard in front of him was also wearing a silver mask, although he was dressed differently from the Khitan king, but the eyes that were exposed were the same.

I originally thought that the village, the green lake, and the black lacquered cave were all in the past, and no matter what the historical truth was, it would no longer interfere with us. Coming to Jinsha Ancient Town purely to find the people behind Huang Tai Sin and Huang Xingyuan's secret arts, the two have nothing to do with each other at all, but we were inexplicably fallen into this ancient city that is exactly the same as the ancient town, and came to this extremely similar ancient castle.

But after the appearance of these two carvings in succession, the two places in the south and the north of the world suddenly had a connection, first the shadow moon appeared in the painting, and then the wizard could be the Khitan king.

"The Khitan King really didn't die...... But how did he become the wizard of this ancient city? ”

No one answered me, I turned my head to look at Sheng Shiyao, and saw that his face was gloomy, his eyes were staring directly at the carving, his eyebrows were frowning, and he seemed to be confused. Suddenly I thought of something, and said in a lost voice: "No, the timing is not right!" ”

My shadow moon was found under the stone tablet on the side of Jiuzhaigou, the text on the stone tablet was left by the Khitan king, for some reason the knife was buried in the ground, and later because the handwriting of the stone tablet and the stone tablet in the stone chamber was the same, it was judged that the Khitan king was not dead. In other words, when the Khitan King escaped from that catastrophe, Shadow Moon had been buried in the ground until it was discovered by Sheng Shiyao and handed over to me. But the mural depicts that after the Khitan King became a wizard, he also passed on the shadow moon to the prophet girl, isn't this inconsistent?

When I told these analyses, Sheng Shiyao listened very carefully, his frowning eyebrows never stretched, and he pondered for a long time before he said: "There are two possibilities, one is that the Shadow Moon was not actually buried before he led his clan into the Green Lake, but buried later; The second is the point in time you mentioned, the history of this ancient city is likely to predate the Green Lake Village. ”

"It's unlikely to be the latter, the Khitan King belongs to the royal family, he must have grown up in the backyard of the palace since he was a child, how could he become a wizard in a border ancient city?" My intuition negates the latter possibility, but I vaguely feel that the first possibility is not very valid, because the Green Lake has caused him to lose all his people, and he will definitely not want to set foot in that place again, so why would he bury the shadow moon at the entrance of the labyrinth? Besides, didn't he give Shadow Moon to the Prophet Girl, how could he go back to the original place to bury it?

"Don't dwell on this question yet, you look at the painting in the back, it's very strange."

After he reminded me, I paid attention to the last two carvings, and I was immediately shocked when I saw the wizard wearing the mask of the Khitan king. After watching it for a while, I understood why Sheng Shiyao said that it was strange, the wizard in the four paintings was standing or sitting, which was not strange, only in the third one, he held his head in his hands in a painful manner, and his eyes were red and fierce outside the silver mask. Then he caressed his heart with his left hand and lay down with his eyes closed on a stone collapse that did not seem to be in the stone chamber, but was drawn to the ring on his finger.

Deliberately went back to look at the other paintings, in the painting he did not wear any rings on his hands, but the last one was more than one on his middle finger, because it was not a color painting, so it was impossible to know the color of the ring, the carver added thought to the ring, I don't know what technique to use, so that its shadow is slightly deeper than the other positions, thus highlighting this ring, and then the ring is engraved with a pattern, but it is too small, what is it can not be seen.

was about to call Sheng Shiyao to look, but when he turned his head, he saw that his gaze was also fixed on the ring, his eyes were deep, as if he was thinking, and he seemed to sink into a certain thought space. I didn't hear him twice, but I pushed him back before I looked back at me and said something that surprised me: "This ring...... I think I've seen it. ”

"Have you seen it? Where have you seen it? "The history of this ancient city is not surprisingly thousands of years ago, how could he have seen this ring? But as soon as I clenched the shadow moon in my hand, I suddenly thought that this shadow moon was also something from a thousand years ago, but now it is in my hand, so it is not impossible for Sheng Shiyao to say that he has seen the ring.

He replied, "I don't know, I'm very impressed with the ring, but I can't remember where I've seen it." I guess I saw it at an exhibition at a museum. The ambiguous answer, with a slightly confused expression, proved that he really couldn't remember. I couldn't help but think of that time in front of the Green Lake Ancient Building, he also said that he seemed to have been to that place, but he had no impression.

It felt as if he had a great deal of forgetfulness in certain matters, which was somewhat inconsistent with the wisdom and shrewdness he had always shown. But after thinking about it, it became clear that no matter who it is, as long as it is a human being, there is a memory, and the depth of the memory is often uncontrolled, just like my memory of the things related to my grandmother before the age of eleven, the memory is very vague.

I thought of my grandmother again, the purpose of this trip was to save my grandmother, but I fell into this place inexplicably. A sense of wonder came over me, what secrets are hidden in these carvings and what does it have to do with me? What's the use of detecting it, can you save your grandmother? But another voice is saying: Huang Xingyuan's secret technique can bring the dead back to life, as long as you can understand the secrets in these paintings, it is possible to get this secret technique, and you can save your grandmother. What Zhou Jing has learned over there has gone astray, and it is no longer authentic, and it is believed that the evil art like Huang Daxian cannot be used to bring the dead back to life, and the authentic Huang Xingyuan secret technique should be here.

Thinking of this, I gathered my mind and refreshed myself.

Seeing that Sheng Shiyao was stretching out his hand to look for the sculpture to see if there were any other mechanisms, he touched the sculpture and there was no movement. It seems that the idea of hollowing out the inner bottom of the bat sculpture with layers of paintings that I was thinking of before was wrong. Don't know what the purpose of hiding these two layers of stone sculptures behind bats is?

I turned my head and found that Sheng Shiyao's gaze was fixed on the eyes of the bat, that is, the two green glass beads. The tacit understanding came naturally after getting along for a long time, and I immediately knew what he wanted to do.

Just now he put the blue glass bead that was lost into the empty eye, and the bat spit out the stone ring from its mouth, and touched the mechanism below to uncover the two layers of carving, proving that there was something strange in the eye, and the machine scraping should have been activated there. So to find out if there are any other mechanisms hidden in this giant bat relief, just look at its eyes.

Sheng Shiyao stretched out his hands, touched the green glass beads with one hand, and took out the two beads at the same speed. As expected, the scraping sound sounded, and the two layers of murals began to close layer by layer, and the stone ring protruding from the bat's mouth also retreated into its mouth, and its mouth was closed. I thought that this situation was a merger of the previously opened mechanisms, but when we heard the movement of the stone slab under our feet, the two of them hurriedly took a step back and looked down.

I saw the stone slab slowly rising from the ground, no, it could not be said to be a stone slab, but a stone platform of less than one square meter, which stopped when it rose to a certain height. Just as I wondered what the stone was doing, two rectangular grooves were sunken down in the middle, one about an inch thick and the other about two inches thick.
