Chapter 127: The Strange Snake
It was quiet, and the footsteps stretched out from the corpse, and although I was terrified at the thought of the impossible, my great curiosity forced me to approach it slowly.
Who is this, how did he die here, and why did he lead me here, could it have anything to do with the three-headed snake?
It's the only strange snake there, but it happened to be encountered by me, could it be a revelation?
In the light, I saw that he seemed to be facing away from me, wrapped in black clothes, and as I approached it, I was surprised to find that this man seemed to be sleeping here, not at all like he had been dead for hundreds of years.
Yes, its body bulged, and when I reached out to grab him, I pulled back the black clothes draped over him, and I felt a huge human skin appear in front of my eyes.
In the light, the other party was motionless, but on this human skin, there was a huge snake, and on the snake's body, there was a mottled pattern, and the body was covered with a layer of strangely shaped scales.
The serpent's body was like a dragon, curled up on this human skin, and under its belly were red, green, blue, and yellow, and the words of the four colors were combined.
Those words are like small seals, but in some places they have been configured, and they have evolved into the scale feet of snakes, which looks very special, and there are some things that are beyond common sense in them.
The light swayed along the serpent's body, and I saw seven lines in different directions at the beginning and end of it, interspersed with three abrupt dots.
Looking at this, it reminds me of the three-headed monster snake, but this snake is not a three-headed snake, and in many places, I don't know whether it is intentional or unintentional, it is not colored.
For example, in the exposed snake body, several places on the upper body, like the blank space in Chinese painting, are very abrupt in contrast to the colorful parts around it.
And the exposed body, down the head, right at the snake's spine, is depicted as the outline of the mountains and rivers.
Finally, the lines on the top of the head stretch the picture as a whole, and if you look closely, this giant snake, which occupies most of the human skin, seems to be a crack that has been opened up from the human skin in a regular way.
But the crack is huge, and if the twisted part of it can be revealed, it may be able to fill the gap in this human skin.
However, the content of the author's painting seems to deliberately lock this behemoth in that small space, and entrench it to form it, showing the viewer another breath that stands out.
It seems that because of this painting, the viewer is also pulled into a narrow space, watching the moment when the giant snake breaks through the cage.
This has the spirit of drawing a dragon, but it seems to be missing the finishing touch, because we are just hoping that it can get out of trouble, but there is no way to add some possibilities to it with our own ideas.
The breath flowing from the snake's body, along its tail, swept away the last trend, but this is very similar to the snake's head that is turned away from the viewer.
But the open mouth of the snake can only let us see half of it, and the form of the full tail corresponds to a little mutilation.
This entrenched giant serpent has a bright flowing color, which seems to carry everything and accept the appearance of all beings, but in it, I do not find a soul.
Its form is only to show us where it wants to show, as if everything we need can be found in it.
But what is missing is the most important thing, because it is not us, and there will never be a way to get what it wants in itself.
The way the world is, it creates everything, but it can never repair itself.
When I touch it with my hands, I feel that it is cold, just like the three-headed snake, its most powerful place is that it can penetrate everything, and the weakest place is its own shortcomings.
Death had been sleeping here for a long time, and as I slowly put it away, I saw a dry corpse.
But on the face of the corpse, I also found a metal mask, and when I looked at it, I almost thought it was a masked man, but when I think about the time, I know that it is impossible.
And when I looked closely, I found that there were also some snake-shaped reliefs on this mask, and there were two inscriptions on the ears, but they were too old to be recognized.
I looked at the corpse, and I didn't know who it was, but when I saw him lure me in this way, I wasn't sure if it was true or not, but it seemed like he was trying to show me the drawing.
Then, with the courage of me, I gathered its bones together and wrapped them in a tarp, but I was a little scared after all, so when I found the grave, Baizhou said that it could ward off evil spirits, and sprinkled some of these bones.
After taking the human skin out of the bones, I carefully folded it and tucked it behind my back, and was about to leave, but I had barely taken a few steps when I heard a slight noise from somewhere.
I immediately stopped my steps and turned around the empty cavern, first beside the dry bone, which was motionless, and then on the stone wall and at the mouth of the cave, where nothing was unusual.
This is a stone cave locked in the sand, and it should be impossible for any living creatures to come in at first sight, and even if the sand is tilted out, nothing else can run in such a short time!
Thinking of this, I immediately turned my gaze back and looked at the holes around me, could the sound come from here?
In this complex cave, there are likely to be other animals, but because the cave is not straight, and there are many holes in it, the sound will be expanded into a different shape.
Looking at the holes one by one, not all of them can pass through people, and some are relatively small, only more than ten centimeters.
I can't be sure, the source of the sound, but now I have to leave.
When I walked out of here, I looked back and found myself back in the dark world, and my brain was once again occupied by those holes.
I kept walking, but this time I had a good sense of direction, probably because spending a while in that large space had made my mind clearer, but as I kept counting the holes, my mind that was still clear was messed up.
One by one, I counted them, turned my head, and even forgot for a few seconds that I had just come out of that hole, and in order to prevent this wrong situation, I would usually stand in front of the hole and count it, and then I would go to a certain hole according to the number on the paper.
Actually, I felt that this place was very close to the ground, but there was no light, and I was not sure that I could get out from there, and I couldn't climb straight up, because the holes above my head were very small.
But fortunately, I have a little more thought, that is, from time to time to look at the surrounding environment, I can always compare my current position, whether it is higher than before, whether I am going out.
For example, when I'm sure I'm going, I'll look at the other holes there, and if half of them are going down, then I'm at a higher place, at least a little higher than where I came out.
Following the upward pattern, I groped for the topography and approached the exit.
Occasionally, I could see light from the "wormholes", which also determined my general position, but I didn't try to approach them anymore, but kept looking up and looking up.
But I planned it very well, but it wasn't so easy to implement, because I felt that my position was almost at the exit, but I stood there and looked around, but I didn't find the exit.
Could it be that there is a mistake there, I thought, I don't know what happened to look for those "wormholes" with important markers, according to the calculations, I took the right route, but I couldn't find those lights.
In the dark stone caves, only the light in my hand swayed on the entrances of those caves.
Comparing the numbers on the paper, I began to look back, maybe it was because I was on the wrong path before, and maybe it was because of the appearance of the cave where the body was hidden, which caused the area behind to be different.
I walked back from the cave one by one, but just as I felt like I was about to approach the cave where I was hiding corpses, I suddenly met a beam of light, and the light appeared very suddenly, and I couldn't adapt, so I subconsciously blocked it with my arm and dodged into the cave behind me.
When I had dodged the blinding light, I looked into the light again, and I saw far away, through several stone caves, and the light shot out of the stone cave where I had found the body.
Could it be that someone has already found this place, is it Li Sansi and Ham? But there seemed to be a lot of them, and I could hear them faintly.
Because the stone cave here is very narrow, the sound transmission is very good, but the mouth of the cave is dense, so the sound sounds awkward, as if there are many sounds together, but the rhythm is one after the other, and it is difficult for people to hear the whole content.
Because the sound will be broken down by the surrounding holes during transmission, a sentence will pass through the two opposite places, and it is easy to distinguish if it is close, because it is limited by the sound channel, and it cannot be diffused too much.
But now, my position is not very good, and I am so far away, but even so, I can't get close to them, so it is easy to be discovered.
