234. Stacking
I silently recited the mantra I had learned from the number of heavenly machines.
Yin and Yang are Tai Chi, Tai Chi was before nothing, Tao gives birth to one, and Tao evolves heaven and earth.
The second life is that heaven and earth are divided into upper and lower, the upper is yang, and the lower is yin.
Two gives birth to three, which is that yin and yang are divided into three talents, four phases, five elements, six combinations, seven stars, eight wildernesses, and nine states.
I slowly turned the turntable of the cipher mechanism, adjusting the black and white dots to the position where the two instruments and the four phase gossip fit.
With a "click", the cipher mechanism was opened.
Huang Xiang's eyes are almost all about to fall off!
"You...... Who are you sacred? Could it be the reincarnation of Fuxi? Huang Shang swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
I didn't answer him, I deliberately kept it mysterious, just beckoned them to hurry up and push the stone door open, those snake monsters were already close at hand!
At the last moment, the four of us squeezed into the back of the black stone door and closed it again.
For the rest of our lives after the catastrophe, we all breathed a sigh of relief.
Especially Meng Yao, she was crying with rain, just now she was almost thrown out by Huang Shang, as the bait of those snake monsters!
"Miss Meng Yao, don't cry, don't be resentful, in that case just now, I just took the overall situation into account and made the most rational judgment." Huang Sheng regained that warm face again, and comforted Meng Yao softly.
"Shit, you bastard! Lao Tzu hates two-faced people the most! I cursed in my heart.
But Meng Yao's tears still couldn't be stopped, until Feng Mengyao was annoyed by her crying, and a murderous look glared at her, and Meng Yao held back her tears.
As soon as Meng Yao stopped crying, we heard a strange sound in the distance.
It sounded like something heavy dragging across the ground, and it was getting closer and closer to us.
Where we are now is a small stone chamber, and to the south of the stone chamber there is a stone cave arch about two people high.
On the ground in the center of the stone chamber, there was a huge patio, and on each side of the patio there was a large iron cabinet, but it was empty, and it looked like it had not been used for a long time, and it was rusty.
Feng Mengyao gestured for us to hide behind the big iron cabinet.
We all squatted down in a hurry, holding our breath.
And the source of that strange sound has also reached the arch of the stone cave.
After seeing the appearance of the thing clearly, Meng Yao almost screamed again, but fortunately I immediately covered her mouth.
It's a monster with white hair, a sheep on the lower body, and a human head on its chest!
Moreover, the monster's face was also wearing a peculiar bronze mask, which was very dense and did not show its eyes.
"It has a man in its hand!" Meng Yao whispered to me.
"I see it." I nodded.
Huang Sheng muttered in his mouth, saying that he didn't know what the origin of this monster with a sheep body and human face was, and then pulled his head out of the edge of the iron cabinet, intending to see what was going on.
I hurriedly pulled him back.
"What's wrong? That monster has no eyes, so it can't find me! Huang Shang said.
"You just said that you memorized the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" upside down, didn't you recognize what kind of monster it was? Its eyes are not on its face, but under its armpits, and as soon as you look out and find it, it will rush over and chew all the bones we have left! I said in a suppressed voice.
Huang Shang was stunned for a moment, and said that the eyes grew under the armpits? This thing...... Could it be the legendary man-eating beast roe deer owl?
I blinked, in affirmation.
At this time, the roe deer owl was already holding the person in its hand, dragging its huge body, and entered the stone chamber from the arch of the stone cave.
I had a better view, and I craned my neck to look at the man in the hands of the roe owl monster, who was naked, without a single hair on his head, and his body was completely motionless, as if there was no sign of life.
Moreover, there is a hole in his heavenly spirit cover.
I frowned, remembering the thousands of skeletons I had seen beneath the filthy waters of the man-made river, and the top of their heads had a hole of the same size.
The roe deer owl moved slowly to the center of the stone chamber, next to the circular patio, and then raised his hand and threw the dead man in his hand into the patio.
Immediately, there was another sound of rustling, and the roe deer owl turned and walked out of the arch of the stone cave and left the place.
"What was that monster with a sheep's face doing? What about the dead man in its hands? Feng Mengyao asked.
Feng Mengyao and I told them what I had seen underwater, and then made a guess.
"It's supposed to be the snake monster in the artificial river we passed by before feeding it, and that dead man is fodder." I say.
Feng Mengyao and the others were startled at first, and then they all agreed with my statement, this patio in the stone room, there is a gurgling sound of flowing water below, which should be connected to the waters below.
"But where did so many people who are used as fodder come from? Why is there a hole in their heavenly spirit cover? Feng Mengyao asked.
"I don't know about the first question, and the second question ...... I'm 100% sure. I gritted my teeth.
At this time, I felt that my heart was in fear that I had never experienced before.
I've guessed the truth, but I don't have the guts to verify it.
Did God create man? Or did man create God?
What is the true face of the so-called "God"?
In the end, I made up my mind.
"Let's go! Go and see what kind of deception has been there that has blinded us humans for thousands of years! What is the truth that has been covered up by history! I said.
Immediately, we continued through the arch of the cave, through a canyon, to a cliff.
On the other side of the cliff, there was a gray mist, and it was impossible to see what was on the other side.
Below the cliff was boiling hot spring water, but it was blood-red and smelled sick.
Feng Mengyao's brows were twisted like a pimple, standing on the edge of the cliff, looking at the fog opposite.
"There's something in there, staring at us." Feng Mengyao said.
Feng Mengyao's inexplicable words suddenly made me shudder.
Because I also felt that in the mist, there seemed to be a myriad of eyes...... Dead staring at us.
"Don't stare into the abyss, for when you stare into the abyss, the abyss will stare at you." Huang Shang said slowly.
"What a familiar quote." I say.
"What a Western philosopher said, I take as a motto." Huang Shang smiled.
"Then don't look at it, walk over and say hello to it face to face." Feng Mengyao said coldly.
Immediately, Feng Mengyao leaned against the rock wall to the west, looking for a way to the other side of the cliff.
We followed her for about five hundred meters, and found no way to the other side of the cliff, but at the end of the rock wall, we found another huge black stone door.
The black stone door was wide open, and in front of it was a row of immensely grand staircases.
From the inside of the stone gate, there was an extremely noisy "buzzing" sound, which echoed between the rock walls, and the scalps of the noisy people were numb.
The sound was all too familiar to me.
If that creature exists in this nest city as well, it would prove my previous suspicions even more.
"Get in." I say.
When the four of us stepped up the stairs and entered the room behind the stone door, all three of them screamed except for me.
A group of large, exaggerated flying insects were hovering in mid-air, their wings vibrating at high speed.
The flying insects are pale white-green all over, and the spines on their mouthparts and tail are all thin and long, with black markings on their backs, and eyes, nose and mouth, like human facial features.
It's the kind of soul-eating sting bee I've seen countless times along the way!
Moreover, the stinging bees in front of us now are not quite the same as I have seen before.
The largest stinging bee I've ever seen before is only the size of two fists.
But now, the smallest of these stinging bees hovering in mid-air is also the size of a calf!
On their heads, they are also wearing a peculiar bronze mask! Same as that roe deer owl monster we just saw!
"Look! What's underneath these giant bees? Is it their eggs? Meng Yao exclaimed.
Needless to say, we all saw it, underneath those stinging bees, there were countless white balls, each the size of a basketball, thousands of them stacked together, forming the shape of a hill.
At this moment, those stinging bees hovering in mid-air suddenly froze, and then turned their heads in unison and flew quickly towards us!
"Not good! Get ready for battle! I let out a low snort.
