Chapter 40: Suspicion
Everyone was stunned, it seems that in the two years that they don't know, this bucket has also quietly changed, and this unknown change is good or bad? No one dared to pack tickets in advance.
After a period of rest, Wu Xie and the others got dressed again, Duo Qi turned on the flashlight, and opened the road in front, Wu Xie and Wang Baqiu followed behind him, Mi Tang and Xiao Liujie followed at the end of the line, and several people walked straight into the stone road behind.
Inside, too, it was pitch black, with stone and animal figurines lying sideways on the stone path, and the walls of the caves on both sides were full of pitholes and cracks, and sometimes half-finished reliefs of stone carvings could be seen.
These things are very large, and Wu Xie couldn't help but wonder, is the stone quarried here the same as the figurine road he walked on two years ago?
According to the information given by the old man Qi before, the territory of the snake country is not large, most of them are mountainous, the main way is hunting, the productivity is relatively backward, and it should not have the ability to transport stones over long distances, but how is the bronze tree of hundreds of meters inside made?
The entrance to the cave we came in just now should be a mechanism, that is to say, the exit of this quarry cave should be on this side, and the hole that I came in with Lao Itch before was blown up by tomb robbers, can we reach the entrance of the underground palace safely this time?
The group walked in for an hour, it was still dark before and after, Duoqi's flashlight still maintained sufficient light, it seems that the materialized things are not at all troublesome such as changing batteries, maybe after humans have mastered such technology, they can reduce the production of non-recyclable garbage, so as to protect the environment in disguise.
Wang Baqiu felt tired, so he beckoned everyone to stop and smoke a cigarette to refresh themselves.
Everyone sat down on the ground, put their flashlights aside, and shone on the lifelike stone figures. Wang Baqiu asked Wu Xie in a furious heart: "Little Third Master, do you think that if these stone statues are moved back, can they be sold for a good price?" ”
Wu Xie was stunned for a moment and didn't expect Wang Baqiu to ask such a question, he followed the light of the flashlight and looked at the stone man on the side, the stone figurines all have the remarkable characteristics of double snake patterns, they must belong to the category of ancient Wei culture, whether this mine cave belongs to the ancient tomb we are going to, we have now entered the realm of the ancient snake country, there is nothing wrong.
Wu Xie smiled indifferently and said: "You said that these stone statues are carved so realistically, it is really terrifying, if Uncle Qiu really likes it very much, he will rely on manpower to carry it, but you have to use materialization ability, although this is not a real tomb, but it is also closer to the bronze tree, I am afraid that if your thinking is slightly worse, it will bring a crisis to everyone." ”
Xiao Liu also followed Wu Xie's gaze, staring at these stone figures, he turned his head to Wang Baqiu and said: "China's mud and stone carving has a long history, and ancient India, Tibetan culture has a long time of integration process, but the carving technique with realism as the main means of expression has only appeared once in my memory, that is, the terracotta warriors and horses of Qin Shi Huang, but the stone statues and terracotta warriors and horses here are completely different, it is really an outlier. ”
Wu Xie looked at Xiao Liu with some surprise, he didn't expect that there was a knowledgeable brain under his rough appearance, faintly he noticed that something was wrong, and subconsciously looked at his fingers, Wu Xie squinted at him, as if he could burn a hole in him.
