Chapter 68: Dust
The spontaneous fear made me extremely uneasy, and I kept looking back, this action was captured by Tianxiang, and he came over, perhaps to comfort me, but the sound of his footsteps made me even more frightened.
Due to the chaos in the tomb and the fact that there was everything on the ground, Tianxiang would make a creaking sound with every step he took, and in this environment, people could hear the creaking sound, which would inevitably increase some fear.
Tianxiang walked up to me, patted me with his hand, and said, "Xiao Qi, don't be so nervous, it's not as terrible as the ghost sea here, the tomb owner has just been displaced, and he won't be here." ”
"How do you know the way?" I saw that Tianxiang was sure that the tomb owner would not be here, so I asked.
"Do you look at the dust here, like a living thing?"
After thinking about it carefully, what Tianxiang said was right, if there were living creatures in the tomb, how could there be such uniform dust, it seems that I am still making a fuss.
The little wolf was looking after the surrounding walls, although the walls were damaged, and the dust obscured some of the colors, but he could still see a rough appearance, and when he looked at his flashlight, he saw that the patterns on the walls were strange, and there were still pillars full of reliefs in the four corners.
On the wall where we entered the crevice, there was a painting of a dragon with a bowed head, a giant dragon dancing in the air, looking down at the pillars in the corner, as if it had been tamed.
On the wall on the left is a kneeling unicorn, this is a strange pattern, it is the first time I have seen a unicorn kneeling. The two front legs of the unicorn are kneeling on the ground, leaning forward, and their heads are facing the pillars in front of them, as if they are prostrating.
On the wall on the right is painted with a tethered Xuanwu, this pattern is not difficult to understand, a crawling Xuanwu, the neck is tied by a rope, the other end of the rope is just drawn behind the pillar, it seems that Xuanwu is regarded as a pet by the pillar.
On the opposite wall is painted an arrow piercing the phoenix, a dancing phoenix, actually penetrated by an arrow from the body, the phoenix's mouth is wide open, as if it is howling in pain, and the direction of the arrow happens to be a pillar.
Looking at the patterns of spirit beasts on the four walls, I can't help but feel a sense of abuse in my heart, and I actually painted all the spirit animals like this, which is really incomprehensible, is this the tomb owner venting his dissatisfaction with the spirit beast, or is it intentionally revealing the supreme identity of the tomb owner.
No matter which pattern it is, it corresponds to each column, and it seems that the pillar is what the tomb owner really wants to display.
The pillars erected in the four corners are all carved from a single piece of white stone, but this stone is not white marble, nor does it look like gray and white stone, it should be a kind of stone in ancient times, and the value is not low in terms of perception. The diameter is about 20 centimeters wide, and the height is about 6 meters, from the ground to the ceiling.
The four pillars are all circular columns, and below is a slightly wider two-layer stone pier round base, and above is a three-layer lotus seat directly on top. In the middle is a figure statue, looking at the carved figures on the pillars, it does not look like a Central Plains person, but looks like an ethnic minority or a northern tribe.
There are obvious differences in the costumes, they are all carved to wear tiger skins, hold bows and arrows, and their faces are particularly fierce, and there is a kind of momentum that they want to eat people when they see it. However, each figure has a small snake carved on it, which is exactly the same as the small snake seen on the stone man in the waterhole, except that this one is not dyed.
Tianxiang saw that I was fascinated by it, and asked me on the side: "What do you think about these patterns, should you have some understanding of the tomb owner?" ”
Listening to Tianxiang ask, there is always a feeling of exam, it's not good not to answer, obviously the three of them know this tomb very well, either they did their homework before they came down, or what was found in the tomb has been analyzed, if I answer wrong, it is estimated that I will have to be buried by the old prostitute again. It's not terrible to be buried by him, the most important thing is to lose face.
"As far as I can see so far, this is how I understand it, the owner of the tomb should be the leader of a minority or the head of a tribe." I paused deliberately and looked at their expressions, the old prostitute was nodding her head, looking right, and then said: "The statues of the characters on the pillars should be his people, and the patterns on the walls show the ability and authority of his people. ”
"The analysis is very correct, it seems that the original tomb owner is indeed a very powerful tribal leader, but unfortunately, his power is not greater than that of the latecomers, and the latecomers have changed the pattern of this place and made it more mysterious, so that no one has been able to discover this place for thousands of years." Tianxiang continued my words from the side.
Listening to what Tianxiang said, although he was still a little confused, I didn't want to ask any more, maybe as the little wolf said, I would understand after I went out. In fact, every time in the tomb, it is very mysterious, and after coming out, I feel that everything that happens is not so mysterious, and it can be understood, and there is no wonder in the tomb, maybe it is in the case of relaxing outside, there will be that kind of feeling.
Just as I was trying to relax, trying to understand Tianxiang's words with my heart, the old prostitute suddenly shouted on the side, startling me.
"Oh my god, no, why is there so much dust here, even if it is ventilated for thousands of years, it will not be so much dust. The most important thing is that Nima doesn't see a big vent here, where does the dust come from? ”
As soon as the old prostitute's voice fell, all the flashlights instantly shone on it, although the tomb was very high, but it could also be illuminated clearly. Indeed, as the old prostitute said, there are no vents on it, and it feels like it is completely closed.
This inevitably makes people wonder, the way we came in was blocked by the mechanism, and it was impossible for the outside air to circulate in, and there was no other exit inside, so where did the air circulating here come from?
"The old prostitute's question about the dust just now is reasonable, what kind of situation will cause such a big dust here?" Tianxiang was affirming the old prostitute's doubts, and on the other hand, he was repeating the problem of dust.
"Decoration, only the renovation project will have such a big dust." After saying this, I regretted it, and thought, it's over, this sentence is too two. This time, not only did he have to be buried by the old prostitute, but he probably lost even his face.
"My god, when did you kid become so smart, I just thought of it, and you said it, you are going to be the second prostitute."
As soon as I heard the old prostitute say this, I put down the stone in my heart, and immediately replied: "That's it, buddy is also a high-IQ human being, but I'm not interested in your old prostitute." ”
While I was talking to the old prostitute, the little wolf climbed up the pillar inside, stretched out his hand to the wall above and pulled out a stone brick, and with the other hand shone the flashlight into it, reflecting a faint green light along the gap in the stone bricks.
