Chapter 53: Seeing God
The underground mine is full of red light, and the footsteps make a loud echo, and being in it is like a bizarre horror studio, a little eerie and depressing.
After walking about 200 meters along the passage dug out of the mine, the rock formation in front of me was dug through, and the red mangs were flourishing.
Walking to the edge of the passage and taking a look, the three of them looked at each other, all of them were terrified, only to see a ravine about 100 meters wide in front of them, winding underground. Looking down, there is a red belt at the bottom of the abyss more than ten meters down, and inside is scorching magma, which is flowing slowly, exuding a compelling heat wave.
Who would have thought that there would be such an abyss in the depths of the earth, it would be like hell.
"Presbyopia...... Uncle Flower, isn't this hell?! Guo Yunxiang's voice trembled, and she quickly retracted after taking a look.
"How can this be hell, this is clearly an underground plate." Ding Xiaocong was speechless, "That's it." ”
Foreman Niu nodded and said, "This is indeed the underground plate, we dug along the mica layer, but we didn't expect to dig here." ”
Then the cow foreman pointed to the side, and the three of them looked over boldly, and a few meters to the right of the hole, there was a bulge on the mountain wall, and there was indeed a small red and transparent boat on it.
The ship is about five meters long and more than a meter wide, and its entire body is as dazzling as if it were made of red glass. Sure enough, there was a statue of a human figure standing in the middle of the boat, which was also carved from a whole piece of mica, lifelike, and about the size of a normal man.
The mica statue is draped in a garment made of multicolored mica sheets, which shines from head to toe.
Everyone was dumbfounded, even in the most bizarre dreams, they had never seen such exquisite crafts, which was completely beyond imagination.
"This, this, this...... This man can't be alive, right? This time, even Hua Hongying stuttered when she spoke.
Indeed, as he said, this mica ship carrying people, no matter the size or fidelity, is the same as a living person, and it is easy to make people feel illusioned when they look at it.
Looking at the magma river under their feet, almost at the same time, a word burst out in the hearts of the three of them - Styx.
In almost all the mainstream ethnic groups, there is a legend about the Styx, legend has it that there is a river in hell, and there is a ferryman on the river, and the soul of the deceased wants to go to the underworld, so the only way to let the captain carry him across.
"I'm afraid I really got it right." Guo Yunxiang trembled and grabbed Ding Xiaocong's arm, pointed to the magma river below, and said, "Isn't this the underground Styx?" The ship must have sailed specifically in magma and somehow ran aground. ”
The remaining three were dumbfounded, and this explanation was very reasonable, and it seemed to be the only one that made sense.
Then follow her train of thought, there is a small boat in the magma river of the underground fault, carrying the captain, passing back and forth in this lava river, I don't know how many years have passed, this scene......
The four of them shuddered at the same time, shrank back again, and looked at each other, all of them colorless.
"Shallot, there really is an underworld, right?" Guo Yunxiang has never dared to let go of Ding Xiaocong's arm since she hit just now, she was really scared.
Ding Xiaocong was also shocked enough, he snorted and gasped for a while, before he calmed down a little, and slowly shook his head, "There is no underworld, if there is really an underworld, it is the mountain rock formation, anyway, it is not what you imagined at all." ”
As a ghost, no one knows the world of ghosts better than Ding Xiaocong.
The so-called underworld definitely does not exist, and as for the various official positions of the underworld, they are even more mythical fabrications. In the understanding of witchcraft, the five witchcrafts are born and restrain each other, rather than the so-called Five Elements Theory in later generations, in which mountains and ghosts are closely related.
After death, the remaining thoughts cannot be rested on the surface, and will either be quickly tortured and dissipated, or they will turn into ghasts and endanger the living. However, these are only a few cases, and after the vast majority of people die, their souls sink into the underground rock formations to sleep, where they will not be disturbed, and from this point of view, it seems that it is reasonable to say that there are men in the underground magma lake.
Spirits can also move in the rock formations, and once they encounter such a fault, they can't pass through, and if there is a ferry man, they can really take them to the other side.
After listening to Ding Xiaocong's explanation, Foreman Niu expressed his opinion again, "There was a big earthquake here a few years ago, and I suspect that it was in that earthquake that the fault was changed and the height of the lava river was reduced, which made the ship run aground. ”
In other words, if it hadn't been for the earthquake, the boat would still be floating in the lava river to this day.
The big guys thought about it again, and the picture of the empty underground and the ship of Hell sailing was replayed repeatedly in their minds, and no one could calm down at all.
It is almost impossible for this ship to be a product of modern times, or even after the pre-Qin period, when the system of the underworld was gradually born, and it is theoretically impossible to rebuild this ship.
However, Foreman Niu was more concerned about another question, and when he saw that the three of them did not speak, he asked cautiously: "A few experts, how much can this thing be worth?" ”
"Immeasurable." Hua Hongying smiled bitterly and shook her head, not to mention him as a fake expert, I am afraid that genuine archaeological experts will not be able to estimate the value of this thing, which is simply beyond the imagination of the modern civilized world, and it is not enough to describe it as valuable.
What's more......
"I'm afraid this thing can't be sold at all!" Ding Xiaocong thought of something, walked to the entrance of the cave again, and looked at the small boat carrying people. He thought of a question, if such a boat was just a sculpture, it would not make sense to float in the magma river at all, unless...... It has a certain autonomy!
The thought startled him, and if so, unless the statue was really alive!
Looking at the boat again, Ding Xiaocong slowly opened his eyes and watched carefully. It didn't matter, his body shook so violently that he almost fell into the lava river.
Fortunately, Guo Yunxiang kept grabbing his arm, and when she saw that something was wrong, she hurriedly pulled him back.
Staggered back and leaned against the rock wall, Ding Xiaocong only felt weak for a while, and he could barely stand. Recalling what he had just seen, his heart was beating like a drum, and he kept panting.
"Why can't you sell it?" Foreman Niu asked eagerly, but Ding Xiaocong waved his hand and ignored him.
Hua Hongying waved away the cow foreman, grabbed Ding Xiaocong's other arm and asked, "What did you see just now?" ”
Ding Xiaocong couldn't calm down at all, he looked left and right tremblingly, suddenly grabbed the hands of the two, and said in a hoarse voice: "I want to ...... I see God! ”
