Chapter 16 Inside the Building
I lifted the lid of the huge pot with all my strength, and when I saw the food inside, I was frightened and sat down on the ground, and the lid in my hand fell to the ground with a crisp and continuous sound. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The silence of the empty town was shattered by the sound of echoes in the caverns. I was terrified, and when I opened the lid of the pot, I saw countless pairs of blood-red eyes staring at me, and there were three or five heads still churning in the boiling soup, and although the skin and flesh had been boiled, I could still see the horrified expression on my face, and my eyes bulging and white.
Although there were still bursts of fragrance wafting through the air, it was hard to imagine that I was nauseating at this time. It turned out to be human flesh boiled, and it was difficult for this ancient town to be a cannibalistic tribe. It's really him a knife and a fish.
I didn't dare to stay in the room at all, and crawled out of the room. When I came to the wide street where eight horse-drawn carriages rode side by side, I looked up and saw that almost a dozen houses were still smoking, and I guessed that they were probably boiling human corpses.
As my mood gradually calmed down, I slowly got up, not daring to continue to sit in this cannibalistic town, and hurried to find a way to escape. Keep moving forward,
Walking towards the landmark building in the center of the town, the five-storey tower is built high in the middle of the town, which is very eye-catching. It is estimated that it is about 20 meters high, but it is only five floors, so I really don't know who lives here and needs such a large room. When I came to the bottom of the tower, I felt like an ant standing in front of a giant, very small.
The tower in front of you is also extraordinary, except for the towering, the whole body is made of bronze. Each floor is a regular pentagon, but the five walls are smooth and abnormal, there are no depictions and words on them, it is a very ordinary wall, and there are no windows on each floor, and it is very tight. Only the lowest floor has two bronze doors, and there is still a gap that is not closed.
The town was eerily quiet, as if all the people inside had disappeared into thin air, and only these houses had witnessed the course of history, but there was no way to tell it.
I cautiously walked through the crack in the door, having previously found a torch in a house. Because the flashlight has almost run out of oil and the lamp has run out, the faint yellow light can't illuminate the road ahead at all, so I just have to find another way. However, the flashlight was not thrown away, just in case.
Walking into the black tower, the first thing that catches your eye is a thick linoleum hemp rope, which is very thick and almost the thickness of an arm, and there is a lot of black grease wrapped in it. I don't know what it is or what it is used for, but because of the darkness of the space, when I saw the rope in front of me, the flame on the torch in my hand had already burned the hemp rope. At this time, the hemp rope ignites when it encounters fire.
I saw that the flames were instantly generated, spreading along the hemp rope, and the fire snake meandered upward. Wander along the inner wall of the tower, 'Poof! Burst! Burst! A few sounds rang out, and the darkness around them was gradually dispelled, and sixteen bronze human heads were set on fire. The flames on the hemp rope gradually disappeared, but the inside of the tower was as bright as day, because the man burned more and more.
When he got closer, he showed the appearance of his hands locked behind his back, and his upper body and face were hideous and terrifying, like a human with a bloody mouth open and leaking full of sharp fangs. The skin of his body has been keratinized, but when he looks closely, he is covered in bronze scale armor, and his hands are covered with flippers like ducks. The lower body has no feet, but it looks like a fishtail, giving people the feeling of a mermaid.
I remember that there was a relevant description in the past, there were Jiao people in the East China Sea, and Jiao people were Quan Xianye, also known as Quanke. The South China Sea out of Jiao silk yarn, the spring first dive weaving, a dragon yarn, its price of more than 100 gold. I thought it was not wet when I entered the water. There is a dragon silk palace in the South China Sea, where the spring weaves silk first, and there is a white one like frost.
There is also Sima Qian's "Historical Records": the first emperor succeeded to the throne at the beginning, wore the Lishan Mountain, and merged the world, the world sent 700,000 people, wore three springs, went down to the copper and caused the coffin, and the palace was full of strange and strange artifacts. Let the craftsman make a crossbow arrow, and if there is a nearness, shoot it. With mercury as the rivers and seas, the machine is instilled, with astronomy and geography. With mermaid paste as a candle, the one who will not be extinguished will last for a long time.
This merman oil lamp, commonly known as the ever-bright lamp, is generally found in the tombs of the nobles of the palace, but under normal circumstances, this thing is mythologized by the ancients, and there is no effect of longevity at all. However, I found that there were many holes in the merman's body, so I could see what it looked like inside. I saw that there was a faint thing wriggling in the body of each merman, as if it was alive because of the flames.
When I looked closely, I realized that the contents were like a worm, constantly gnawing at the merman's body. I have heard that when I used to make sharks, I would find a cyan silkworm and put it in a wine jar and soak it with centipedes and seven-step snakes for 7749 days, and drop it into the tip of the tongue of the three places every morning to donate blood into the jar, and worship at the time.
When the vat is opened on the forty-ninth day, it will be found that the wine has dried up, and all the previous poisonous insects have killed each other, leaving only a blood-red silkworm in the vat unharmed, and its body has grown several times larger. Take it out and stuff it into the abdomen of the silkworm with a hemp rope head bolt barb, hooking its stomach and intestines, but it will not die.
Stuff this Gu worm into the merman's abdomen, leave the hemp rope in the merman's mouth and nose, ignite the hemp rope, and the silkworm will start to wriggle continuously when it encounters heat. Moreover, this silkworm mouthpart has been generated, and there will be two rows of dense fine sharp teeth inside, constantly tearing at the flesh and blood of the merman's abdomen. When swallowed into the abdomen, it will be transformed into ointment, making the oil lamp last for thousands of years. I heard that every drop of this merman oil will ignite for more than ten days.
The hole in the merman's abdomen may be used to allow the silkworm to breathe and not be suffocated.
After looking at these mermaids, I found that there were no stairs in the tower at this time, and there was nothing in it, and it was very strange. It's hard to build such a big thing, but there is nothing. Even if it's for worship, at least you put a Buddha statue or something!
I looked around, along the twine. I saw that the hemp rope disappeared at the northeast corner of the tower. When I arrived, I saw that the floor tiles had collapsed. A glimmer of light came out. I looked down and saw that there was a five-story tower beneath the tower, which looked the same as the one I was in.
It's just that the underground tower seems to be much smaller than the one above, and there seems to be a gold-colored coffin in the center.
