Chapter 713: A snake on his head
The coffin pit on the mural seems to have been dug very deeply, because the coffin pit can't even see the bottom of the pit, and all that is revealed is a pitch-black hole. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Wu Zhiyuan approached the last mural and squatted down to take a closer look at the coffin pit on the mural. Looking at it so closely, I feel that the painting of this mural is really exquisite, almost like a living thing. Wu Zhiyuan reached out to touch the mural, and when his hand reached the position of the coffin pit, his five fingers actually touched the air.
Wu Zhiyuan let out a "pop" in his heart, his hand involuntarily shrank back, and secretly said in his heart: "This coffin pit is empty!" ”
There is really a hole in the coffin pit!
The people and objects depicted on the mural have traces of pen and ink dye, but no dye can be seen in the coffin pit, which turns out to be a real pit. In other words, it is very likely that this coffin pit is the exit of this stone chamber.
Lining things that need to be hidden in murals and hiding people's eyes and ears in the form of murals is indeed a clever method, but it is not the first time Wu Zhiyuan has encountered it. When he was in the tomb of the Yan Emperor before, he had seen a dragon-like pattern painted on a large clay pot in a burial room, which turned out to be a live five-step poisonous snake. Although it was just a coincidence, it was exactly the same as the coffin pit hidden in the mural in front of you.
Wu Zhiyuan stretched out his hand again to reach into the coffin pit on the mural, and sure enough, he could put his hand into the pit.
"This exit is so cleverly hidden!" Wu Zhiyuan secretly praised, and raised his feet to enter the coffin pit.
At this moment, Wu Zhiyuan hesitated, the coffin was originally a place to bury the dead, and this exit is a metaphor for the coffin pit in the mural, does it imply that this exit is actually a place where the dead gather, and entering this coffin pit is entering the underworld and hell?
Retracting his legs, Wu Zhiyuan thought for a moment and threw a fire fold in his hand into the coffin pit.
The light of the fire fold swirled and continued to fall in the darkness in the coffin pit, and the falling speed was too fast for Wu Zhiyuan to see what he saw during the fall, but after the fire fold fell to the ground, he was sure of one thing: this coffin pit was very deep, at least three or four meters deep.
The light of the fire fold was limited, and when it landed, it could only illuminate the cold stone slabs on the ground around it, and nothing else.
Wu Zhiyuan waited on it for a while, and when he saw that there was no danger, he went directly into the coffin pit. With his vitality cultivation at this time, jumping off a height of three or four meters is not a problem.
After borrowing force twice from his feet on the surrounding stone walls, Wu Zhiyuan fell to the bottom of the pit lightly, he picked up the fire fold on the ground and began to observe the surrounding environment.
originally thought that this would also be a tomb, but what puzzled Wu Zhiyuan was that the place where his feet were standing was not a tomb or a tomb road, but more like a robbery hole. The thief hole went straight down from the coffin pit above his head, and then extended in front of Wu Zhiyuan.
The strange stone of the cave wall is rough, the level is uneven, this is one of the characteristics of the robbery hole, the general tomb robber wants to enter a tomb, after digging out the robbery hole, as long as the robbery hole does not affect the passage, the tomb robber will never be carefully carved in the robbery hole, so this Nine Heavens Fairy Tomb suddenly appears this kind of hole that is very different from the style of the tomb, it is very likely to be the robbery hole left by the tomb robber.
Unexpectedly, located in the remote Saibei area, the Nine Heavens Fairy Tomb could not escape the clutches of tomb robbers.
Wu Zhiyuan let out a long sigh and continued to walk along the thief cave. Since there is only one exit from the mural stone chamber above, the Moon Shadow Fuxian can only leave from here, and Wu Zhiyuan has no better way to choose.
This robbery hole is not long, and there is one thing Wu Zhiyuan has never understood, in order to save time and effort, the robbery hole is often dug so that the hole is narrow, and only one person can lean over to drill through, but this robbery hole is extremely spacious, and its height is also the same height as an adult, which seems to be a bit out of line with the rules of the robbery hole.
Just thinking about it, Wu Zhiyuan had already walked to the end of the robbery cave, the direction of the end turned around, and the two sides of the cave wall became extremely narrow, but the height did not change, Wu Zhiyuan felt a little strange about the sudden change of the robbery cave, and was turning his head to look at what was special about the cave walls on both sides while walking, and suddenly bumped into a person head-on.
Wu Zhiyuan instinctively jumped back, and the vitality in the dantian instantly filled his body, making a defensive posture, and at the same time, he couldn't help but gasp when he looked at it before.
I saw that under the faint light of the fire fold, there was a person standing five steps away in front of him, and the figure of that person was no different from ordinary people, but what was frightening was that his head was not hair, but countless small snakes, those small snakes were born from his scalp, the snake's head moved, spitting letters, and he also grabbed a handful of small snakes in each hand, which was extremely terrifying.
Wu Zhiyuan immediately recognized that the small snake on the man's head and hands was the kind of snake he had seen before. And that person was the one he and the Moon Shadow Fuxian had seen in the stone house on the ground.
"Didn't he fall into the abyss? Why is it here? Wu Zhiyuan remembered that when he first entered the cave on the cliff, the man fell into the abyss with him in order to push him out of the cave.
Thinking of the mural painting this place as a coffin pit, Wu Zhiyuan's heart couldn't help but feel a chill, if this is really the Netherworld, it can also explain why the person in front of him appeared here, because after he fell into the abyss, he was already dead, and Wu Zhiyuan broke into the Netherworld at this time.
After staring at the man with the snake on his head for a long time, Wu Zhiyuan's mind echoed what the Moon Shadow Fuxian had said, she said that the snake was originally the guardian saint of the heavenly court, guarding the forbidden land of Yaochi, and the reason why he was called the snake was because he had not hair on his head, but a snake.
It is better to believe that it is there than to believe that it is not. Thinking of this, Wu Zhiyuan bowed his hand to the man and said, "Wu Zhiyuan, a disciple of the Maoshan Sect of the Lower Daoist, I don't know which immortal the Venerable is?" ”
After the words fell, the man covered with snakes still stared at Wu Zhiyuan tightly, did not speak, and still stood in place, not moving.
The light of the fire fold in Wu Zhiyuan's hand was faint, and he could only roughly see the appearance of the person, as well as his pitch-black outline.
After waiting for a while, Wu Zhiyuan felt strange, even if the man didn't answer, why didn't the snake in his hand and head move? Is he just a stone sculpture?
Wu Zhiyuan took a few steps forward suspiciously, and at the same time slowly approached the fire fold in his hand in front of the man, and as the light approached, the man's face appeared more and more clearly in front of Wu Zhiyuan.
What Wu Zhiyuan saw was a pitch-black face, without any expression on it, with a mouth, eyes, and ears, but no nose. The whole face gives people a strange feeling of coldness and openness.
"Sure enough, it's a stone carving." Wu Zhiyuan let out a long breath, and his tense nerves suddenly relaxed.
At that moment, he saw the stone carving's eyes suddenly roll.
