The back of a man suddenly appeared under the beam of the helmet spotlight! I couldn't help but be shocked that there were people! I never thought there would be people in this hellish place!?

Everyone else couldn't help but tense up, and although they couldn't see everyone's expressions, it was enough to explain from everyone's reaction of taking a small step back.

There must be a demon when things go wrong, and some people in this place are afraid that they are also zombies and ghosts! In an instant, I, the fourth master, the fat man, and the ghost all naturally reacted and took out the guy, obviously an occupational disease.

"Where is the demon ahead? The fat man of Maoshan is here, don't make a mistake! The fat man screamed!

However, the man at the end of the light did not react, and still maintained a posture of standing with his back to us, which was not weird and terrifying.

"Bang!" The fat man shot him at the side, but there was still no response, so he whispered to us, "Why don't we strike first and hit him directly?" ”

"Look first!" The usually cautious ghost objected to the fat man's proposal.

"What else to see! Don't you see what he's wearing? It's the clothes of those sacrifices on the hundred-eyed burial cavern, and it's definitely not human! Let's see if you're a zombie or a ghost? "Say it! The fourth master suddenly threw out the flying tiger claw and grabbed the man's shoulder, and then the fourth master pulled it.

I saw that the man fell to the ground at once, but he didn't react, and he was like a corpse!

But when we saw his face, we were stunned!

This is none other than Cai Dingnai, one of the little soldiers who came back to fetch the bamboo raft before, and it is also the Lao Cai in He Weiguo's mouth, I never expected Lao Cai to be here.

After examination, it was determined that he was dead, but what was strange was his expression, Lao Cai's expression was not afraid and hideous before death, but very peaceful, very calm, as if he was willing to die, in the eyes of everyone, behind this calm, there seems to be a trace of gloomy and terrifying meaning!

And then there is his clothes, which are worn by the corpses in the cavern! Who changed his clothes? Or did he change it himself? And what is the purpose of this? For a while, I didn't see the clues, and besides, it's not good to dwell on this issue in this environment, but I can't put Lao Cai's body here anyway.

Originally, I wanted to carry him on my back, but when I thought of the previous hallucination, Lao Cai had turned into a weird night cry, and when I thought of this! I was still furious in my heart, so I asked Uncle Niu and Uncle Liu to take turns carrying it.

The group continued to move forward, the space of the cave was larger than we thought, and there were obvious traces of man-made construction, and some sculptures like the river in the cave of the Hundred Eyes appeared one after another on the way.

The difference was that they all looked at the darkness in front of us, and their posture was the same as that of the slave sacrifices in the burial caverns, their hands folded in front of their chests, staring at some high place.

Following the direction they were looking at, everyone came to a space where the V-shaped was turned upside down, and in the middle was a sacrificial platform made of large and small ashlar stones, with a strange shape, spiraling upward, like a huge snail buckled to the ground.

"This is the burial chamber! It seems that my previous speculation is correct, and the top of the Hundred Eyes Burial Cave is really the main coffin of the ruler of Qianyi and Miao. Professor Tong said.

"This ...... Is this the burial chamber? The fat man was skeptical: "How is this different from the tombs we have seen before?" ”

Professor Tong said, "What do you mean? ”

The fat man said, "There is no tomb palace!" It's like a cave that has been randomly modified! After all, they are also the rulers of a small country, even if their national strength is small at that time, but the tomb cannot be built so simply! ”

Professor Tong smiled and explained, "Chubby, you don't know anything! The people of Qianyi and Miao believe in nature, and they feel that people should return to their roots after death, and do not have too complicated burial rituals, so that the spirits of the dead buried here after death can better accept the guidance of the gods of nature. ”

"Mom! That's a big cultural difference! The fat man said, then deliberately turned his head to the fourth master, and teased, "Fortunately, we are not here to rob the tomb!" Otherwise, it's not in vain, there must be no funeral goods in such a humble tomb! ”

The fourth master heard that the fat man was making fun of him, and he didn't pay attention to it!

At this time, Uncle Niu seemed to have discovered something, and suddenly shouted: "Professor! There's a painting on this wall! ”

When everyone heard this, they moved away, and sure enough! The walls of the cave are densely painted with paintings, but they are not like the murals in the Han imperial tombs. Rather, it is very simple and freehand, like a prehistoric mural, the figures on the paintings do not have a lifelike painting technique, just a few simple lines outlined, but still very specific, and the painted objects can be seen at a glance.

The fat man said, "Alas! Is this a prehistoric mural? ”

"That's understandable!" It was not Professor Tong who answered the fat man, but Professor Ouyang, because Professor Tong at this moment was already fascinated, and he was looking at the content on the wall seriously.

We also looked at it very carefully, and saw that there were kneeling people in the painting, and it was not difficult to see that they were worshipping something, but there was only such a group of people worshipping in the whole picture, and there was no painting of what they were worshipping.

The next one is a picture of a round thing, with a few lines drawn behind it, indicating that the round thing is falling rapidly.

The next picture is a group of people surrounding the round thing......

Basically, all the paintings are like this, with a few scribble strokes, depicting people and objects. Soon there were people who couldn't read it, and in the end, only me and the two professors were left to read all the paintings!

I learned to draw

Naturally, you can understand the meaning of the painting, and when you encounter the key points related to the civilization at that time, you will consult with the two professors, and cooperate with the information collected by Professor Tong over the years, soon! Let's roughly decipher all the meanings of the painting!

The gist of it is that the people of the Qianyi and Miao Kingdom at that time suddenly fell from the sky when they were worshipping the sky. We speculated that it should be a meteorite, but the people of Qianyi and Miao, who had no scientific knowledge at that time, should have been given to them by the gods of nature, and invited the ancient Miao sorcerers in the country to divinate and divide.

The sorcerer also believed that this was a sacred object given by the gods of nature, so he built a sacrificial platform, and inlaid this meteorite in a high place, and worshipped the sun and the moon, sure enough! Later, the vegetation in the area grew more luxuriant than before, and the ruler also received some mysterious power from the meteorite, which was like hexic magic, which could override the consciousness of the surrounding tribes, and make other races more obedient to him.

Soon the territory expanded, but within a few years, the ruler suddenly died! The people of the Qianyi and Miao kingdoms believed that the gods of nature had chosen the ruler, and at the suggestion of the sorcerer, they built the Hundred Eyes Burial Cave and the sacrificial tomb where we are now located for the ruler.

The strange altar in the center of the tomb was the only thing in the entire cave that looked valuable, because there was nothing but the frescoes, and it was really like what the fat man said! Fortunately, we didn't rob the tomb, otherwise we would have strangled our hearts!

"Hey! You say that the owner of this tomb is also the ruler of a country, but the decoration of this tomb is too stumbling, and it is a rough tomb! Not even a valuable funeral item, this cheap lord! "The fat man's mouth just can't be idle.

Professor Ouyang listened to the fat man's words, and inevitably educated the fat man again, "Civilized!" Remember! Only in the eyes of unscrupulous tomb robbers, burial goods are valuable, and we are engaged in archaeological research! For us, every place here is a treasure, they are the product of historical civilization, the crystallization of the wisdom of the race, and these are not worth it in money! Don't you Captain Stygian even have this kind of awareness? ”

"Yes! Ouyang Crazy said yes! There are many things in the world that are more important than money that are worth doing! Especially you young people! And the three of you are still the captains of the Underworld, to a certain extent, the same as our archaeology, they are all about protecting the historical ecological balance, and you must have enough understanding! ...... "Originally, one Professor Ouyang was enough for me and the fat man, but now with the addition of Professor Tong, it is miserable."

The fat man immediately recognized and admitted that his consciousness was not enough, and nodded frequently and said, "Yes, yes, yes!" The professors are right! The three of us brothers should be remembered. Speaking of which, he also called my name: "Wang! Do you remember? These words are precious, professors, you should take notes! Why are you still stupid! ”

Although I can't see the fat man's expression, but with my understanding of him, the fat man at this moment, the expression must be all underbeaten, and suddenly my heart is a group of "grass and mud horses" galloping by, and my heart said, "Okay, you dead fat man!" I actually excused myself! Look at how I'll poke out the thing you dreamed about peeking at Xiao Jing taking a bath next time. ”

As for the fourth master, when the second elder was preaching, he had already walked up to the strange building in the center of the tomb, and seemed to have found something again, and said, "Oh said! Two great professors who teach and educate people! If you have time to preach, why don't you interpret these and what do you want to express? ”

It turned out that several more paintings appeared in the middle of the altar.

As soon as the fat man saw that there was a painting, he immediately said, "Does this Qianyi Miao person like to paint very much?" How come there are paintings everywhere? Do you have an art exhibition? ”

"Yes! Professor! Although there are murals in the Han tombs to record the deeds of the tomb owner, it is basically from the late Western Han Dynasty to the Eastern Han Dynasty, but I feel that Brother Wenming is right, there are too many paintings here! Xiao Kai also expressed puzzlement.

"Normal! Some of the murals in one tomb cover an area of more than 200 square meters, maybe this is one of their customs? Professor Ouyang said in a guessing tone!

"This cultural difference is really a chasm that is difficult to bridge! And this custom of "storytelling"! The fat man teased with a strange gun.

"It is these cultural differences that enrich Chinese history." Professor Tong answered the fat man, and then said, "That's right! Ouyang Crazy is right! That's the custom! ”

"I said it before! In their concept, people die because they have been picked by the gods of nature, and they want to meet the gods of nature, and nature is to return to the basics, and the gods do not like people who are too complicated. ”

"Therefore, they want to leave all the things of their lives in the mortal world, so they use paintings to paint the important deeds of the lives of the deceased, which in their eyes means leaving behind the miscellaneous love of this life, so that it is a kind of sincerity to meet the gods of nature!"

"Isn't it over with a bowl of Meng Po soup! It's so complicated! As soon as the fat man finished speaking, I squeezed him, "As far as you talk a lot, Meng Po soup is not sold to outsiders, only to Han people!" ”

"Alright! Don't be poor, this archaeological trip is not in vain, let's seize the time to study what is recorded on it! Professor Tong naturally said this to me and the fat man, and then said to Xiao Kai, "Xiao Kai! Please help me copy and record, these are extremely valuable information! ”

While Xiao Kai was taking notes, he generally replied, "Don't worry, professor!" I remember it all! ”

These paintings in the middle of the altar probably tell the story of a mysterious figure who came from afar the day after the death of the ruler at that time, wearing a bronze mask with a tiger's head, carrying a bronze ancient sword, and carrying a bronze plaque with a nine-square grid. It is easy to identify from the features of the figure in the painting that it is Ba

The human demon lord Fan Barbarian, but at that time, he had not yet established his own demon army empire.

The sorcerer of the Qianyi Miao Kingdom saw that his bronze plate was not a mortal thing, and through divination, he calculated that the Brahma Barbarian was born extraordinary, and this life will become a great weapon, as the hexagram says, Fan Manchi is a prisoner who ran from the heavenly prison to the mortal world, and he is a candidate for the gods of nature!

As soon as the news of the wizard came out! The entire Qianyi Miao was shocked! Believing Fan Manchi's words, Fan Manchi soon inherited the position of ruler, and the wizard informed Fan Manchi of the meteorite that was worshiped as a sacred stone by the Qianyi and Miao people, and Fan Manchi also got some kind of mysterious power from this mysterious meteorite! He began to go crazy with his plan to form his own demon army.

But here, the mural is gone.

"Nuwa Stone! Is there any mention of Nuwa Stone? The fourth master asked excitedly!

"Nope! Don't you see that the painting is gone? "I also thought that I would talk about Nuwa Stone later, but I didn't, so I didn't have the courage to respond to the fourth master!

"This was supposed to be a painting! It's just like it's been destroyed! Xiao Kai looked very seriously at the back of the last painting.

"What? Let me see! Professor Ouyang and Professor Tong were almost in unison.

Truly! There is a noticeable breakage on the board in the back! And it's quite serious, it looks like it was damaged by something badly impacted.

The paintings that were interrupted on the altar were not painted directly, but on stone slabs, so the damage was so serious that it was impossible to see what was being painted!

"There's debris on the ground!" The fat man found the broken stone chips on the ground: "Let's see if we can put them together!" ”

However, this is not easy to say, the painting is a stick figure, and there is great difficulty in the process of piecing together, because it is difficult to find their relevance, if it is a very cumbersome painting, it is relatively easy, and the slate is more broken, so in the end we still have to give up.

However, the fault layer of the slate is very new, and it was obviously destroyed not long ago, and it is estimated that it has only happened in the past two days, so it shows that someone has been here before us!

"Could it be that there are Russian counterparts who are one step ahead of us?" The fourth master's words made the two professors nervous, and Professor Tong slapped his thigh, "Oh no!" The burial goods in the coffin may not be guaranteed! ”

"Coffin! Where is the coffin? The fat man asked

Professor Tong pointed to the top of his head, "On the top of the altar!" ”

For a while, everyone realized something, and they all ran towards the commanding heights of the altar. The fourth master and the fat man ran in front, the two of them had the meaning of scrambling, this scene seemed familiar, once in the ancient Xiangxiong underground palace on Mount Everest, the fat man and Lao Jin also used to be like this.

The fat man who suddenly ran in front of him scolded, "Oops! I grass! ”

"What's wrong?" We thought something was wrong with the ghosts! Run up to me and take a look! It turned out to be a fall!

The fourth master also fell, but he pressed on the fat man, and the fat man pushed the fourth master away and scolded, "you!" It's disrespectful for the old! You old immortal! Take the fat man and me as a quilt. "While scolding! He grabbed a handful of things from where he fell with his hands and said, "What the fuck is this?" How can it not be slippery? ”

I saw that the fat man's hand was something very thick and gray-white, which looked disgusting.

"Holy! What the hell is this? It's so fucking disgusting! After the fat man saw it clearly, he threw it off, and then took the opportunity to foam off the residue in his hands on the fourth master.

"This land is full of these things!" As soon as Professor Ouyang said this, we realized that our location and the top of the altar were covered with these thick gray-white unidentified objects!

"What are these?"

"It's disgusting to watch!"

The crowd is gossiping!

I picked some up with a Qiankun knife and wanted to put them to my nose to smell them, but then I remembered that I was still wearing a gas mask.

Xiao Kai glued a little with his hand, rubbed it, then took off the gas mask, sniffed it quickly, and immediately put the gas mask on.

"How? What does it taste like? What is it? Everyone can't wait to find out!

Xiao Kai shook his head, and said with great certainty, "It's hard to say!" But it feels a little familiar! ”

"You...... You guys! What are you doing here? Go up and check if the coffin has been opened! Professor Tong, who ran at the end, came up panting and followed, and when he saw a group of us clubbing, he hurriedly urged us to check whether the coffin had been stolen.

"That's right! Look at the coffin in a hurry! Professor Ouyang ran up immediately, and after running two steps, he turned around and asked Professor Tong, "Old Qingtong!" Can you do it? ”

"Leave me alone! It's important to see the coffin! Professor Tong waved his hand again and again, and said to me, "Wu ...... Team Wu! Hurry up and take a look! ”

I was just about to run, but Xiao Kai suddenly grabbed me, "Brother Wu Nian!" I know what it is! It is the excrement of animals! ”

At this moment, I only care if Nuwa Shi is here, if she is! There was no theft! So I didn't think about the hidden meaning behind Xiao Kai's words, but said absent-mindedly, "Isn't it just, even if the fat man accidentally ate it just now, he won't die!" Then keep running to the top.

However, as soon as he ran to the top of the sacrificial platform, he suddenly reacted to the danger behind Xiao Kai's words.
