Chapter 193: Big Bird in the Sky
Could it be that the mountain movers also obtained the "blood" of the human snake king like me? Otherwise, so many people, female snakes, and steppe wolves surrounded him, why didn't they attack him?
"Tweet ......"
The sudden turn of events didn't seem to give me much time to think about it, and just as I was wondering, a piercing birdsong accompanied by a huge shadow suddenly floated over the cave, making the lake that had been a little quiet boil at once; After hearing the piercing bird call of this life, the leisurely human-female snake and the steppe wolf were at a loss, as if they had received some urgent signal, and they suddenly became confused.

"Go ......"
I don't know what they found, but standing in the position of Deng Kan and me, I can't see what is in the sky at all, and it can actually cause the unanimous indignation of the steppe wolf and the human snake; Therefore, in order to be able to see more carefully, I hurriedly pulled Deng Kan, who was still shivering, and walked lightly to the exit of the cave, where there was still a dead end, which could completely ensure that we would not be discovered in a short time.
Under the clear blue sky, I was greeted by a large area of black pressed bird feathers; Countless large birds hovered over the lake in unison, just like the geese that had been learned from elementary school textbooks, but I didn't recognize what kind of species these birds were. For a moment, the sound of birds, wolves, and the hiss of snakes spitting out letters gathered into a large area in this small space; It was the first scene I saw after shifting my position, and it made my heart beat involuntarily!
What call does it seem to be answering? The mountain movers standing on the platform also made a move at this time; I saw that he unhurriedly took out a small bottle from the package, and the small bottle seemed to contain something like a liquid, because it was too far away, I couldn't recognize what was in it?
After taking out the small bottle, the mountain mover did not stop at all; Instead, he skillfully poured the liquid inside into the palm of his hand, and then gently rubbed his hands to rub the liquid evenly, and wiped it on his face! After that, they walked to the golden coffin located in the middle of the entire lake.
On the other hand, those big birds in the sky also changed at this time; Suddenly there was a little commotion in the original uniform formation, and then I saw a much larger bird appear in my eyes, flying closer and closer from a small black dot in the distance, and then getting bigger and bigger, until it reached the sky above the lake before it really showed its shape.
However, from the first sight of it, my pupils were infinitely dilated; Because this bird is definitely the biggest bird I have ever seen in the world; Its entire body resembles a small gliding plane, obscuring half of the sky the moment it flies. Just two sharp eyeballs are the size of a small light bulb at home, not to mention its sharp beak, even if it is far away, it still makes me feel its power!
And after the big bird appeared, the original chaotic flock of birds suddenly calmed down, and it seems that the last guy to appear is their "boss"!
At the same time, feeling that the situation was difficult, I was constantly observing my surroundings, and my mind was quickly calculating some possible changes.
Because of the change of hidden position, my vision is more open at this time, and I can clearly see everything in the lake; In addition to the ever-increasing population of steppe wolves and snakes, as well as a group of large birds in the black sky, the main attraction of this natural tomb is the huge golden coffin in the middle.
In addition to this, I also looked at the outer edge of the lake, and realized that the lake was all wrapped in steep mountain walls; And such a steep mountain wall, almost at a right angle to the ground, I think it is as difficult for an ordinary person to climb as it is to the sky; For a while, I finally saw the reality I was facing. I couldn't help but feel a mixture of bitterness in my heart.
"Brother Tian...... Look at the holes...... Could it be ......?"
Although Deng Kan was frightened by the shocking scene in front of him, his adaptability was not bad, and he soon discovered the artificially made holes in the mountain wall, so he thoughtfully reminded me.
In fact, I also saw the holes, and there were obvious marks of chiselling; Moreover, they seem to be evenly distributed, whether it is high or low or the distance between the left and right, from my point of view, it is almost the same. So, what do these holes mean?
Under the pressure of reality, I had to follow Deng Kan's reminder to shift my attention elsewhere.
Although I can't make up the meaning of their existence from those holes, I can still see a little mystery in the eighteen "pipes" that connect them!
Connecting the openings were eighteen square pipes made of wood; Of course, judging from the fact that the wood has not decayed for so many years, it must not be an ordinary thing. On the four sides of those square wooden troughs, there are depicted one lifelike phoenix after another, although the oil paint on it has partially fallen off, but it can still be seen that the carved pattern is a phoenix!
The phoenix, in ancient times, represented the supreme maternal authority! So, what do they mean when they are portrayed here? And what does the "bronze pot" directly above the golden coffin, which is also connected to the eighteen "pipes", express to me?
Yes, I read that right! Connected to the eighteen square sinks is a huge bronze pot; Actually, if you talk about it more vividly, it is more like a woman's. Milk. The upper part of the room is a huge hemisphere suspended by iron cables, and the lower part is facing the golden coffin is another small hemisphere protruding; If it weren't for the fact that it was covered with green patina, it would have been seen as a woman's. Milk. The room is more suitable.
The discovery of such a "spectacle" in a large tomb was something I had never expected; Moreover, even though I went through all the memories in my mind, I didn't think clearly about the meaning of the existence of the "spectacle" in front of me!
However, according to Taoism, the eighteen openings connected by the eighteen square aquarists here and the purgatory well that I thought of earlier should represent the two poles of ninety-nine to one, but the phoenixes carved on the wood, according to my thoughts, should represent the meaning of "phoenix nirvana, reborn from the fire"; As for the huge one hanging in mid-air. Milk. room, I don't understand it at all......
However, I believe that everything here is reasonably arranged, and the reason why they exist must have a lot to do with the owner of the tomb here! And, judging from what happened to Deng Kan in one of the caves, the "bronze pot" should have been full of blood from the undertaker, as I had thought since I contacted the mutilated corpses above the shaft.
In short, no matter what kind of ending the tomb owner wants to lay for himself after death, this method alone is already very cruel, and after the initial understanding of the scene here, the legend about the "Mother Earth" that I originally thought of in my heart was also quietly smeared with an indelible stain on the reality in front of me at this time!
"Oh my God! Is this the fugue land of Mother Earth? Where the hell have you been? ”
A pleasant sound sounded in my ears, and it turned out that Fan Jing, who had disappeared from the top of the shaft, did not know when she appeared; Judging from her expression, she seemed to be remembering some previous memories, and although there was some surprise on her handsome face, it did not belong to the category of "shock"!
"Where did you go before?"
For a long time, I have a great prejudice against Fan Jing's coming and going without a trace; Because whenever I was in trouble, no matter how much I called, she never gave me any response. This makes me very suspicious of the word "mirror spirit" in Taoist sayings! Therefore, the first time she appeared, I chose to ask her such a question with a black face.
"Brother Tian...... You ......"
Because Deng Kan didn't open the eye of heaven, he couldn't see Fan Jing, who had already turned into a soul, and was confused by my inexplicable speech; It's just that at this time, I was anxiously waiting for Fan Jing's answer, so I responded to him with a silent gesture. Under my gesture, Deng Kan, who was still confused, could only close his mouth a little depressedly.
"Giggle...... It looks like you've had a lot of things happen to you during my absence......"
Fan Jing covered her mouth and laughed as always, looking at me with a smile, not caring about my cold face, and then explained to me the reason why she did not appear under my call;
It turns out that the reason is that I was careless, according to Fan Jing, when I was fighting with the human snake on the shaft, there was a very strong attraction force suddenly coming from the shaft, and Fan Jing, who was a soul, was naturally not able to face it, so he returned to the mirror alertly. And because I didn't know that it was a purgatory well, I complained to Fan Jing inexplicably in my heart. At this time, when I think about it, I really am a little unreasonable. Because I've thought about it before, the Purgatory Well, also known as the Soul Eater Well, is even more dangerous for ghosts.
"So you seem to remember a lot of things now, right?"
For Fan Jing's explanation, I rarely showed a trace of embarrassment; However, I still pretended to be calm and coughed dryly, and asked Fan Jing the question that she had been wanting to ask since she got here.
"yes...... I do remember a lot of things! This is the place where Mother Earth lived and where she wandered after her death...... For thousands of years, many people have come in here, but without exception, all of them have become food for the Mother Earth Guardian Spirit Beast! ”
"Guardian spirit beasts? Are you talking about them? ”
It's the first time I've heard of this word, but I want to know what Fan Jing is referring to, so I pointed to the chaos of human snakes and steppe wolves and asked Fan Jing, in fact, I mainly wanted to find some useful information from her mouth!
