Chapter 40: The Devil
When I turned around, there was a wall behind me, which looked ordinary, no different from the walls of other places.
I looked at the eight bronze statues again, oh my! It turned out to be some strange animals, some with the body of a beast head and a bird, some like a unicorn, and some like a dragon, each of them baring their teeth and grinning, looking very ferocious.
"Senior brother, I guessed right!" Looking at the strange bronze statue on the side, Master Mingyue sneered.
Well? Could it be that ten years ago, the three of their senior sisters and brothers trapped those few evil people here?? I pondered.
Lao Huang nodded: "This time it has also solved the mystery that has plagued me for ten years." โ
When I saw that the danger had been lifted, my curiosity suddenly came out, and I couldn't help but ask Lao Huang: "Uncle Huang, ...... you How many secrets are you hiding? โ
Lao Huang smiled slightly and stroked his beard: "Little evil, do you know what statues are on these sides?" โ
I glanced at the strange stone statues on both sides again, shook my head, and said casually, "It's all monsters!"
"Don't you think it's a little similar to the one just now?"
The bronze statue just now? I made a comparison in my head, and it really was! It's all monsters that don't exist in the world.
"Ten years ago, when I saw these eight bronze statues for the first time, I wondered, how could there be only eight dragons giving birth to nine sons! Now I finally know where the other one is! โ
It also dawned on me that when I introduced the stone statue on the other side of the wall just now, I seemed to have heard Lao Huang say that the fox was one of the nine sons of the dragon, and because of its ferocity, its head was placed on the walls of prisons and public courts in ancient times, which played a deterrent role.
Uncle Wang urged us in front: "The time is almost up, we must get out of here quickly......" As he spoke, he walked out of the stone gate first.
Lao Huang muttered in a low voice: "Xiao Wang's behavior is a little strange!" He followed him out of the stone gate.
Outside the stone gate is a tunnel-like cave, with all kinds of strange murals carved on both sides of the cave wall, which looks like it is some years old.
Lao Huang pointed to the murals on the cave wall and said, "Ten years ago, my sister and I also came here...... At the time, I didn't understand the content of these murals, but now it seems that it is very clear. โ
I glanced at it casually, and the mural depicted some strange people doing strange things, as if it was some kind of sacrificial scene.
"What's on the mural?" I asked.
"Do you remember the pre-Qin religion I told you about before? The frescoes depict the ritual of this religion, presumably in search of eternal life. โ
I was shocked: "Could it be ...... Could it be that Qin Shi Huang went to great lengths to find these murals? โ
Lao Huang shook his head slightly: "The mural should be just a part of it, maybe what he found is in the depths of this tomb." โ
As he spoke, several forks appeared in front of him, and Uncle Wang seemed to be very familiar with these passages, and always chose the path to take without hesitation. At this moment, even Master Mingyue began to wonder.
"Xiao Wang, you don't seem to have been to the grave ten years ago?"
"Nope."
"Have you been here before?"
Uncle Wang suddenly stopped and turned around slowly: "I want to say that I participated in the construction of the ancient tomb, do you believe it?" His face was pale, and his expression was very strange, not like a joke.
"You?"
Uncle Wang nodded: "There are some things I don't know how to explain - since I approached the bronze statue just now, there have been many memory fragments in my mind, everything here is so familiar, just now, I finally remembered that I had participated in the construction of this ancient tomb." โ
"You...... You're not Xiao Wang? Lao Huang hurriedly asked.
"I am, but I wasn'tโall the people in this village were not himself." Uncle Wang's words were a little twisty, and I could feel a trace of sadness flashing in his eyes.
Mrs. Mingyue and Lao Huang were also confused, the two glanced at each other, and were about to continue to ask for an understanding, but they were stopped by Uncle Wang waving his hand.
"Come with me, and everything will be understood!"
After walking forward for a few more minutes, Uncle Wang stopped in front of a left-turning road.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this was not the place you should have come to, but since you came, it was also an arrangement of God! No matter what you hear or see later, don't be surprised, let alone panic. โ
After speaking, he looked at me: "Xiaoxie, do you remember what Uncle Wang once said to you?" Be sure to take care of Momo. โ
He turned into the bent.
Everyone didn't understand what it meant, so they were stunned for a moment, but they still followed closely.
As soon as we turned around and walked a few steps, a lot of fog appeared in front of us, and when we looked up, this was a huge underground space, and Uncle Wang was standing seven or eight meters in front of us. He quietly watched the clouds in front of him, not moving.
What to see? A few of us came over.
Just looking ahead, I was trembling, and in front of me was a huge pit, and the pit was crowded with people, it seemed to be thousands, some of them were disheveled, some of them had no hair, and all of them had dull expressions.
I was about to take two more steps forward to see clearly, but I was stopped by Uncle Wang's hand.
"Little evil, going any further is a taboo for the living, don't you see anything in front of you?"
As soon as he looked down, he found himself standing on the edge of a cliff, with two wrist-thick bronze chains in front of him, extending into the vast white mist on both sides.
Uncle Wang and Master Mingyue took a deep breath almost at the same time, and Master Mingyue asked, "Is this the legendary ghost?" โ
Judging from the surprise of the two of them, they didn't know that such a place existed, so it can be seen that ten years ago, the three of Lao Huang's senior sisters and brothers only followed a few people in the evil path to the hall dedicated to the nine sons of the dragon, and they had not been to other places.
At this time, Uncle Wang's expression was very complicated, and he kept staring at those people in the big pit, and did not answer Mrs. Mingyue.
At this moment, I think even Captain Zhang, who firmly believes in atheism, understands in his heart, how can it be a human being in this pit?
Looking at the pit again, the more than 1,000 people were all walking, and their postures were very peculiar, and they seemed to be following a fixed route. Strange to say, I was at least a hundred meters away from the nearest person in the pit, and besides, it was dimly lit and smoky, but I could clearly see the outlines of these people's facial features.
Looking closely, I first saw a girl, this girl was pale, but a little familiar, and when I turned my eyes, I saw an old man again. This old man has a rosacea nose and a big mouth.
It's him?? I was shocked, this person turned out to be Sun Changfu!
Sun Changfu had died a few days ago, and even his body had been burned to ashes, could it be that his ghost was below?
I was about to ask Uncle Wang, but when I tilted my head, I saw a familiar face again, it turned out to be Wang Xiaoni.
I'm going crazy! Sun Changfu is already dead, if his ghost appears below, then what is the matter with Wang Xiaoni? She should be in my house right now!
I took a closer look at it again, and yes! That is Wang Xiaoni, she is still wearing that red wedding dress.
Waitโsomething is wrong! Didn't I burn this garment already? In an instant, I understood, I must have died Wang Xiaoni, and all the people below were dead......
