Chapter 19: The Ground of Dismemberment

Chapter 19: The Ground of Separation

As far as the eye can see, there is a cave, like a giant cave formed naturally. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoNot far away, there is an artificially mined underground river section, and the river bank is also neatly repaired with stone bricks, and I have to admire the wisdom and ability of the ancient working people! There is also the sound of groundwater flowing in the river!

There is a bronze arch bridge that spans the banks of the underground river, about a few tens of meters long and two meters wide. At the head of the bridge stood a huge stone monument, on which nothing was carved cleanly. This bridge is incredible, although the workmanship is atmospheric, the bridge railings and arches on both sides of the bridge are also unique, and the bridge is suspended by many bronze chains on both sides, but it is empty in the middle! There are no bridges! What the hell is going on, air bridge?

I say:

"Sister, have you entered the underworld, there is the Nai He Bridge in front of you, let's just take a sip of the two pots and float over directly, what's the use of building this bridge?"

My sister grabbed me and said:

"Don't move yet, your brother-in-law and I will look at the environment in front of us, what is not the underworld, don't chatter, it's really unlucky. You look down at the ground, there are many people's footprints, only those who come in, and those who do not go out, there must be a lot of danger ahead. You go and keep an eye on the concave where we came in, and watch if the black cows will follow. ā€

I immediately fell silent, and carried out the order, and my sister and brother-in-law slowly approached the bronze bridge.

After a cigarette, I saw that they had been lying on the edge of the river and looking down, and I shouted:

"Are there fish in this river? Grab a few grilled and eat! The river mules were spared. ā€

My sister and brother-in-law turned back to me and made the same gesture together, holding up the index finger of their left hand to their mouths, which meant that I was quiet.

I nodded knowingly and walked gently over to them.

When I came to the edge of the river, my brother-in-law asked me to lie down and look down, and when I looked into the river, I was sweating profusely!

There is no water in the river!

Countless multi-colored insects wandered in this river, and at first they thought it was the sound of water, but it turned out to be the sound of these tens of millions of insects crawling! Layer upon layer, you can't see the bottom at a glance!

This river is quite deep, and if you fall down, you will inevitably fall and be eaten again! This is a river, it is simply a green and natural corpse field!

I whispered:

"Sister, is this a five-flowered cow?"

Sister Says:

"You don't understand everything, and you still ask me?"

I laughed at myself stupidly and said:

"Sister, if the black cow in the back and this five-flowered cow meet, will the scene be spectacular?"

Sister Says:

"Once the dung beetles in the Western Regions are matched, the body fluids secreted in the body will be fused to discharge a large amount of hydrogen sulfide and ammonia, and now it is an aerobic environment, once it encounters an open flame, it will explode immediately. When they mate, they also consume a lot of physical energy, and even cannibalize each other, in short, they eat everything that moves. The children's songs that grandpa taught us are not something that ordinary people can learn, every nursery rhyme and every story is an experience and is infinitely useful. ā€

Brother-in-law said:

"We have a big enemy in front and a pursuer in the back, hurry up and pass this copper bridge and escape."

I say:

"What my brother-in-law said is so right, you go first, and I will be behind."

With that, I glanced at the air bridge without the bridge.

My sister also glanced at her brother-in-law with hot eyes.

The brother-in-law coughed lightly a few times and whispered:

"I'm sure I'll have to take the lead, let me observe the chains first, and maybe I'll be able to cross the river by stepping on the piers with the chains."

The three of us shone our flashlights at the top of the chains, and suddenly gasped, this time we were completely desperate!

On the bronze iron chain, there are many strange corpses, dry skin and bones, too many to count, and the bronze iron chains on both sides of the bridge abound. Many of them are wearing gray military uniforms during the Republic of China, similar to the longevity corpses in the coffins in the secret room, it is estimated that these are the soldiers in Sun Dianying's claw army, and they must have been used as guns. There were also a few older corpses, dressed in ancient costumes, and wearing things like big gold chains and big gold rings. The deaths of these people are terrible, all of them are holding their heads up, their mouths wide open, their eyes looking upward, and their limbs holding iron chains!

I say:

"Sister, I think this way of death is so scary, why are you still holding the chain tightly, why don't the five-flowered cows below come up and eat these corpses?"

My sister said in a skeptical tone:

"The one who fell down must have eaten it clean, and the corpse on it is really strange, I'm not sure. And because of some other special reason, did they die on the copper chain in order to avoid anything? Can't climb this chain? ā€

The brother-in-law interrupted the sister and said:

"Hot, do you think there are more dangerous things on this bronze chain, and the five-flowered cow doesn't dare to go up easily."

My brother-in-law's words shocked my heart, and I immediately looked up and used a flashlight to shine vertically into the depths of the chain, but the roof of this natural cave was very high, and the light source of the flashlight could not reach the end, and even the other side of the bronze bridge was faintly visible.

I stared at the countless bronze chains that fell from the sky, and I felt an indescribable sense of oppression, and I vaguely felt that there was a huge monster lurking at the end of the chains.

Sister Says:

"Lao Wang, let's always be careful, if there are other monsters in the depths of this chain that can crawl down along the chain and attack us, then there will be no way back."

Brother-in-law said:

"It's hot, then let's think of another way, don't risk walking on the chain, this bronze bridge without bridges may be the only shortcut to cross the river."

The brother-in-law touched his chin with his right hand, pondered for a moment, walked towards the front of the stele, turned back to his sister and said:

"Hot, the lantern is still there, right? Use the light of the lantern to see if there is any information on the stele. ā€

My sister took out a human skin lantern from her bag, lit a candle and put it in, the blue light appeared again, reflected on the stele, and sure enough, a very familiar pattern appeared on the stele, Pisces Taijitu!

I saw that my sister and brother-in-law were studying very seriously, cleared my throat, and whispered:

"Sister, this is the pattern I saw in that secret room, what does this pattern mean?"

My sister is still looking carefully, and she didn't take my stubble.

My brother-in-law looked at me embarrassed and said:

"Small stones, I once saw this similar pattern in a Han Dynasty tomb, and the meaning of the pattern is also determined according to each regional culture. Before the invention of writing, the culture of every region used painting to record people and events. This Pisces may represent a specific object, a hope, a status symbol, or a religious belief. ā€

My sister glared back at her brother-in-law and said:

"Teacher Wang, don't teach yet, this Pisces pattern is made up of many small characters, I'm translating, you two be quiet for a while."

I am happy in my heart, but my sister is still careful, sitting and waiting for the answer.

My sister first looked at the front of the stele for a while, and then took the lantern and turned to the back of the lantern to continue her research, and now the position is that my brother-in-law and I are facing the stele side by side, and my sister is on the other side, and behind her is the underground river.

The brother-in-law whispered:

"Hot, we'll help you keep an eye on it, you hurry up and watch, don't forget that there are still black cows waiting for dinner over there."

My sister looked at the stele, suddenly tilted her head and glanced at me, and then continued to look at the stele. I deliberately snorted sideways, and vaguely found my sister secretly staring at me again!
