Volume 3: Miao Jiang Gu Realm Chapter 65: The Lost Civilization - Qianyi and Miao Kingdom (4)
When we poked our heads out of the water, the fat man and I didn't dare to breathe, and after we put on our gas masks, we began to gulp hard and greedily.
When I recovered my breath and looked underwater again, there was nothing but a galaxy-like blue light bug, and the tooth-like thing had sunk to the bottom of the river.
This makes me a little uneasy! What could the owner of the sharp teeth be? Newts have no teeth! Could it be that there are really large carnivorous fish in this river? After all, that tooth-like thing was the size of my palm.
Although our rescue operation was unfavorable and almost wiped out at the beginning, He Weiguo insisted on continuing, after all, he was a comrade-in-arms.
In the worldview of soldiers, the word comrade-in-arms contains too much, and it can almost be said that in addition to their families and countries, there are only comrades-in-arms left in their lives, and that is a relationship that breaks bones and connects tendons!
The fat man and I could understand his feelings, so naturally we didn't back down.
When I entered the cave, I was amazed that it was exactly the same as in my illusion!
The structure of the cave is really trumpet-shaped, and as we walk, the walls of the cave are indeed full of strange strokes and neatly arranged corpse caves that spiral upward.
What surprised me even more was that the fat man and He Weiguo's illusion was the same!
This gave me a vague sense of foreboding, as if there was something big wrong with our actions this time, but I couldn't tell what was wrong, but this intuition was strong from what I did.
The only difference is that there is no hanging corpse of Lao Cai here, but the flowers and plants are indeed like a sea, and the blue light insects are exactly the same as those in the fantasy world, densely packed together, illuminating the big cave in a faint blue and blue, so it is not only strange, like a dream.
The fat man looked at the dense strokes and said, "Mom! What the hell did you do before? How can there be so many ghost drawings and corpses? ”
I remember that in the illusion, we found that this place and the Wushan Fan Manqi Void Tomb in the Underworld have the same work, and the biggest purpose of our trip is to find the tomb of Fan Manchi, so I asked everyone to draw the bamboo on the shore, and wanted to study this place well.
When I went ashore, I realized that there seemed to be something strange on the top of the cave, which looked a bit like something carved into it! But because the distance is too high, I can't see it clearly!
The fat man is still entangled in the question just now! Then he asked, "What the hell is this place?" How could there be such a big cavern? ”
"Look at it! The corpse on the wall of this cave must be similar to a burial! The fourth master said.
The fat man snorted twice and said, "I don't see it!" Look at the ghost paintings on this wall, from the perspective of the fat master and my Maoshan technique, this should be a superstitious behavior in ancient times, similar to what kind of sacrifice to the sky and the like! ”
I agree more with the fat man's statement, this is too similar to my illusion, in the illusion, this is the sacrificial method to open the door of the alien space in the witchcraft that Fan Manchi learned, I don't know why! I'm convinced it's the same as in the illusion.
He Weiguo was obviously not interested, and only thought about finding Lao Cai and them! "Leave that alone! It's important to save people, there is no Lao Cai here, let's move on! ”
I stopped him, "No! Lao Cai: That's where the accident happened! Look here! ”
There was a purple-black mark on the wall of the cave not far from us, and I found it as soon as I went ashore, and now I pointed at it, and the fat man saw it!
"What is this?" He Weiguo asked.
I said, "It's blood!" ”
"Blood!?" The fat man was a little surprised, "How the hell is this blood purple!" ”
I looked disgusted and replied, "It's a shame that you're studying art!" I wonder if the color between blue and red is purple? ”
"Fat man, I only know what color is like!" The fat man had a cheap look on his face, and I knew that what he said was not what I said.
I dipped my hand in the blood on the wall of the cave, and while feeling it, I analyzed, "The blood is still slightly sticky, which means that it is not too long ago, and it spreads out on one side, which means that it is sprayed!" It is estimated that Lao Cai and the others should have encountered an unexpected situation here, and Xiao Liu's head that floated back with the bamboo row should have been divided here! ”
"Then Lao Cai, did they also encounter an accident?" He Weiguo asked anxiously.
I looked around, not quite sure how I responded, "It's hard to say!" But I feel like they're supposed to be in this cave,
Or Lao Cai, they want us to come to this cave to find him. ”
"What...... What the? He Weiguo had an expression of disbelief, "Team Wu, how do you see it!" ”
I said, "Think about it! What does the bamboo row look like when it floats back? ”
"The first is Xiao Liu's headless corpse, and the second is a strange dried corpse that has been dead for a long time." He Weiguo responded while reminiscing.
I said, "Look at the corpses in the cave on the cave wall!" ”
When He Weiguo and the others heard this, they all turned their heads to look at the cave wall, and the three of them couldn't help but be secretly surprised.
He Weiguo said: "This! How could these corpses be exactly the same as the dried corpses that had floated back with the bamboo strokes before? ”
"Because the dried corpse was taken from the cavern in this wall!" While sorting out my thoughts, I said, "I guess the course of the incident should be like this, Lao Cai and the three of them took the bamboo stroke, all the way to here, and then it should have encountered something strange, Xiao Liu was the first to be killed, and then the second one also had an accident, Lao Cai should have some reason, unable to leave here, so he put Xiao Liu's body on the bamboo stroke, and notified us, so that we know that something happened to them, and worried that we don't know where the accident happened, so they took a corpse from the corpse hole on the cave wall to tell us the location." ”
I vaguely feel that Lao Cai's accident should be related to this bizarre corpse cave and the ghost painting talisman carved on the wall, maybe they accidentally peeked into the mystery behind this corpse cave and ghost painting talisman, so they encountered an accident.
Fat man, they also understood the meaning after listening to my analysis, but how easy is it to unlock the secret behind this corpse hole and strange strokes?
Although I can be considered familiar with history, but only Han culture, this kind of rare, mysterious and obscure minority culture I have no understanding, and it is simply a fool's dream to penetrate its Chinese and mysteries in a short time.
If you want to infiltrate the past civilization here in a short period of time, you can only count on Professor Ouyang and Professor Tong, the two Taishan Beidou in the contemporary archaeological community.
So I said to He Weiguo, "Old He! Go and call the professors! "Speaking of which, I suddenly remembered the mutation we encountered on the cave wall in the illusion, and I don't know if the damn will come true. If the illusion is really fulfilled, then we are missing a sniper, so we added, "You and Lao Wang replace, you go and protect those back pockets and women, let him come." ”
When He Weiguo heard this, he retracted the footsteps that had already taken out, and asked, "Why?" Although he was wearing a gas mask, his expression could not be seen, but his tone was clearly reluctant.
I can't tell him I'm afraid my hallucinations will come true!
So I didn't bother to explain to him, "I have my own reasoning, obey the arrangement!" Lao Cai, I will naturally help you find them! And also! Remember to ask them to bring the climbing rope. ”
Although He Weiguo was helpless, he could only obey orders.
After he was gone, I watched first! We had just come in and had just taken a cursory look, but now that I took a closer look, I immediately realized that there was a lot going on in the cave.
The place where we stood was more like a large rock jutting out of the cave than on the shore, and I judged it because there were obvious signs of man-made construction at the junction of the cave wall and the river.
Under the blue light of the blue light insect, you can faintly see something on it, but the distance is not so real, but it vaguely feels like a human face, a sculptural human face.
"Russia seems to have seen this kind of sculpture!" The fourth master also stared at the face on the other side.
The fat man also watched intently, but he didn't see what it was, and said impatiently, "Damn, I can't see it clearly here!" Swim over and see! "Say it! It's really in the water.
I also had this intention, so I followed the fat man and swam over, and the fourth master seemed to be interested in this thing, so he also followed.
When I got to the other side, it was a sculpture, but the person carved by this sculpture was very strange, with a long face, a big nose, very convex eyes, and two thick eyebrows, and the mouth opened into an O-shape, and the whole face was not carved according to the structural proportions of the human being, but more like a face on a cylinder, with a pointed head and an awl-shaped, and the top of the head also held a strange object that looked like a beast but not a beast, like an insect and not an insect, and this thing was the kind of strange sculpture we found in the night crying cave before.
This sculpture is very weird, using exaggerated shaping techniques, and the whole shape is like a kindergarten child pinched out of mud
The sculpture is made of long stone strips of about the same size, very high, only a small part of the face is exposed to the water, and the rest is hidden in the water, the depth of the water is not shallow, so although there is blue light insect lighting, the whole picture of the sculpture cannot be seen.
The fat man looked at the exposed face of the sculpture and said, "Oops! This sculptor is very poor! It's better to be fat, and I'm not as good as a fat man! I used to be the leader of the bottom team in the department, and I didn't think that this guy was not as good as me. ”
After that, he pointed to the wide nose of the sculpture and laughed, "Look at it! This nose is disproportionately big, is that guy blind, no! It's because the eyes are crooked, and I didn't even see it! ”
I said, "Fatty, you know that your professional level is not good, don't spray randomly, this is called artistic processing, do you understand!" Besides, the realistic technique is not our Chinese characteristics, it is all foreigner style, which was introduced later, since ancient China, whether it is painting or sculpture, it is freehand as the main style, and people are ethnic minorities, different cultures, and artistic understanding is naturally different! Maybe this was also the hand of an extraordinary person at that time! ”
"Everyone's hand!? You can pull it down, no matter how different the culture is, this aesthetic can't be so outrageous! Don't learn from those who don't understand art, everything you can't understand is called art. "The fat man still doesn't accept what I say!
I snorted, and was about to refute again.
The fourth master said: "Oh, you two are tired, are you tired!" Even this has to be studied, and it is not engaged in archaeology, if you go to rob the tomb like this, then the tomb owner will probably let you survive in a hurry. ”
"Look how fresh this old man is, fuck! We are not tomb robbers in the first place, we are anti-tomb robbers! Although he was wearing a gas mask, he couldn't see the fat man's expression, but listening to his tone, from what I knew about him, he must have put his mouth to his ear when he said this, and he had a disdainful expression.
The fourth master is old, so naturally he will not quarrel with the fat man like Lao Jin, but said, "Russia is not here to quarrel with your little baby, seriously!" This kind of sculpture was seen in Russia when he was young, and it was also in Guizhou. There is such a sculpture in the ancient tomb of the old thief of King Yelang, could it be that there are monuments of Yelang Country here? But the strange thing is that the sculpture I saw back then didn't have such a nondescript monster on its head, what the hell is this? ”
Chairman Mao * said! Practice is the only criterion for testing the truth, and you can't get the answer just by talking about it, so you can dive down and find out, and maybe you can make new discoveries.
Thinking about it, I proposed to go down to the water to have a look, and the fat man and the fourth master naturally did not object, so we planted the gas masks and dived into the water, the depth of this pool is much deeper than I imagined!
We had not yet bottomed out a few meters down, but there were already cylindrical sculptures of strange human faces all around us.
The sculpture is like a small tower, standing on a building, this building is so strange, like a city tower is not a city tower, like a tower and not a tower, spiraling down, divided into several layers, there are tens of millions of ladders circling in the periphery of the building, every interval can see a peculiar shape of the human face cylindrical sculpture.
The ground floor of the building is buried deep under deep water, and due to the deep water pressure and our breath-holding time, there is no way to peer deep into the whole body of the building.
The fourth master is old, and the water nature is slightly worse than me and the fat man, so after making a gesture to us to go up, he should swim up first.
Since considering that there are blue light insects that can make illusions outside the water, there is no way to ventilate immediately when you go up, you must put on a gas mask first, so it will take about 30 seconds more, which is extremely painful for people who hold their breath to the limit, so the fat man and I didn't delay much, and went upstream with the fourth master.
I swam to the surface of the water, and just as I poked my head out of the water, suddenly something of unknown slammed into the water, creating a huge wave and sound! I was so shocked that I didn't hold my breath for a moment, opened my mouth and exhaled, followed by a series of plopping sounds.
Several gray-brown objects in a row bombarded down from the cave wall like torpedoes! caught me and the fat man and the fourth master off guard, and they didn't hold their breath, and they all inhaled the hallucinogenic poisonous gas emitted by the blue light insects.
