Chapter 36: Lost
The question is, if it's the City of the Dead, who would need to be buried so deep underground after death, with such a lot of effort? Not to mention the corpse snakes, insects, and monsters encountered above, it is also difficult to lift a corpse to such a deep underground.
Sun Ruhai turned to the expert Li Weimin and said: "Lao Li, take a closer look, what is still engraved on this pillar!" ”
"Some transcendent scriptures, as well as runes to suppress evil spirits, are also engraved with all the evil spirits in the city, and they can't pass through these two spirit pillars!"
"Does that mean there are evil spirits in the City of the Dead?" Luo Fatzi's face was a little pale.
Wu Ze also smiled bitterly, and really let Luo Fatzi, the crow's mouth, say, this is really a dead man's city!
Jiang Yan was silent for a moment, touched the vermilion stone carving on the stone pillar, and said: "With such a huge scale of the city of the dead, it is impossible for a small tribe or any family to build it, but it should be a country, a powerful regime that can be carved into this underground area that is thousands of meters deep!" ”
"However, in the history of our China, there is no record of this regime again!" Li Weimin said.
"Then there are only two explanations, one is prehistoric civilization, even earlier than the Xia, Shang and Zhou, and the other is that all the history of this regime has been erased and cleaned up, but the second case is less likely."
After Jiang Yan said this, she fell into deep thought again.
Things are really getting weirder and weirder, obviously getting infinitely closer to the truth, and then there is a huge mystery that everyone needs to solve, Wu Ze is more inclined to the remains of prehistoric civilization.
General Wu Ze looked at Sun Ruhai standing in front of the stone pillar, feeling that he must know more things, but he didn't know why he didn't say it.
"Let's keep going, even if there are evil ghosts, I'm afraid they will be caught by the devils, you must know that they have been here for a long time!" Sun Ruhai seemed to have figured out something, smiled and said to everyone.
However, everyone's mood was not as optimistic as Sun Ruhai, so everyone walked more carefully in the next section of the bluestone road.
Further on, the layers of buildings in the City of the Dead cast even darker shadows.
"There's someone there!" Sun Ruhai's subordinates, Zheng Beishan suddenly shouted.
"What!" Everyone felt a chill in their hearts, and they picked up tools that could defend themselves.
The strong flashlight shone through, Wu Ze wiped the sweat from his forehead, and it turned out to be a statue of a person, lifelike.
"Damn, don't be suspicious, it's really scary and scared to death!" Luo Fatzi scolded Zheng Beishan with a complaining face.
"Everyone be careful, maybe there are some corpse snakes living here, or those man-eating insects or something, you must pay attention, if something is wrong, we will withdraw immediately!"
Ignoring what Sun Ruhai thought, Wu Ze directly opened his mouth to warn.
"Be careful, everyone, after all, we're disturbing people's homes now!" Sun Ruhai didn't care about anything, and also spoke.
There are more and more stone carvings, one every few meters, as if standing on both sides of the road to welcome the arrival of everyone, densely arranged in the past, each stone carving is roughly the same style, but the shape of the face is completely different.
The surroundings were still silent, Wu Ze could even hear everyone's breathing, heavy and hurried tension, and the smiles displayed by the stone carvings on both sides of the road became more and more weird.
"Why can't we see these stone carvings on the cliff wall before?" Luo Fatzi said something that everyone was also puzzled about.
Indeed, it's a bit strange to walk here, I've fired several flares at this ghost town before, and there are so many humanoid stone sculptures here, why haven't you noticed it at all?
These strange humanoid stone sculptures seemed to be standing there quietly, and seemed to be moving slowly, Wu Ze rubbed his eyes desperately, he felt that his eyes were a little spent.
"Something is wrong, we have to go back the way we came!"
Wu Ze shouted, at this time, he had walked out for hundreds of meters, but it was still an endless bluestone pavement, and there were stone carvings on both sides, and the walls of the ghost city seemed to be so far away, and all the scenery had not changed in any way.
The corners of Li Weimin's mouth trembled a little, and his voice was a little out of tune: "I agree with Wu Ze's opinion, we have to go back, otherwise I am afraid that we will encounter unknowable dangers if we continue like this!" ”
Everyone looked nervous and agreed with Wu Ze's opinion, Sun Ruhai's face changed several times, and he didn't say anything more when he saw everyone like this, and under Wu Ze's leadership, he turned around and walked back the same way.
"Something is wrong!"
Wu Ze wiped the corners of his eyes hard, and he found that the stone carvings on the side of the road seemed to show a sneering face in unison.
It's very evil, Wu Ze touched the pendant left by his grandfather on his chest, and suddenly a coolness came into his mind, and the original boredom and restlessness were swept away!
The road is the same, and the stone carvings are the same, but after walking for a while, everyone really knows that things are a bit big, because the more you walk, the more you find the stone carvings, and the bigger they are, the problem is that now everyone is going back, and it stands to reason that you can return to the two huge stone pillars soon.
However, in addition to the stone carvings of those evil gates, there is also the unchanged bluestone road, there is no trace of other things, and the ghost city behind him can no longer see any trace, and the two stone pillars that were originally huge in front seem to disappear into the boundless darkness.
"Don't go, everyone!"
Wu Ze frowned, and said to the people behind him: "This should be a ghost hitting the wall!" ”
"What, again!" Luo Fatzi's face was a little pale, and he had some shadows in his heart about the ghost hitting the wall.
Sun Ruhai stepped forward and asked, "Are you sure?" ”
Wu Ze nodded and continued: "Because I am a descendant of touching gold, I often go in and out of some ancient tombs, underground burials, and ghosts hitting the wall, I have personally experienced it many times, and the current situation is very similar, it is like entering a labyrinth, and I can't get out!" ”
"It's a ghost town, so there really are ghosts?" Sun Ruhai's subordinate Zheng Beishan's voice was close to trembling.
Just like the ghost hitting the wall in the ancient tomb before, the so-called ghost hitting the wall is usually some feng shui, or the designer of the tomb, using its clever techniques to make the tomb robbers or others who rush into the tomb lose their sense of direction.
In a dark and panicked environment, this kind of so-called ghost hitting the wall is particularly prone to occur, once the human eye is tired or blindfolded, when the mechanical and numb and a few chapters of walking, the eyes will gradually see the direction of the brain will be deviated.
Some Feng Shui masters take advantage of this feature to design some Qimen Dunjia, or Ecstasy Array, to trap many tomb robbers who are not up to the mark.
After listening to Wu Ze's introduction to the truth of ghosts hitting the wall, everyone's hearts were a little less nervous, but the problem was that although they knew that this was a maze array designed by the ancients, or a labyrinth, how could they get out?
