Chapter Forty-Six: Hell and Hell
Hell fire, cold flame;
Zhou Tianyi wondered in his heart, how did the corpse in the Taoist robe die? Why did he keep standing, still maintaining his movements before he died, and his expression was frightened, as if he had seen something very terrifying. Ancestor Zhou Jiutian should have set fire to this rattan before passing through this strange hanging corpse cave, so how did this person die? The thought of burning the vines was shocking! A picture came to mind, seven hundred years ago, the ancestor Zhou Jiutian came here, a person was caught up in the awakened vines, everyone wanted to rescue, the torch in his hand inadvertently ignited the vines, and there was a sea of fire in front of him, the person who was involved should have been burned to death, but the flame burned so fast, it was impossible to burn people, and there were no traces of burns on his body, is this really the legendary hell fire! When the Taoist priest saw that he was caught in a sea of fire, his expression became distorted, and his movements stopped at the moment before he died!
"Hell vines, hellfire ······!" Zhou Tianyi said silently.
The Cangyin Daoist turned to look at the vines, and let out a sigh, these plants actually have corpses as roots, these people may still be alive, they were hung upside down on the top of the cave, swallowing the seeds of the 'Hell Vine', waiting for the 'Corpse Oxygen Yin Flower' to sprout in the abdomen, there should be a stone pillar carved out of the top of the cave, and the corpse's feet should be fixed with ropes.
Most of the hanging corpses were elderly, and there were fewer children. It can be speculated that these people should be the people of the cave royal family. They felt like they were dying and came to this cave to swallow the seeds of the 'vines of hell' for the benefit of future generations, providing oxygen for future generations. It could be the persecution of the ruler, or the rule of the cave royal family, everyone who is dying must give their life in advance! What about the hanging children? Whether it was an untimely death or another reason is unknown. The number of corpses is incalculable, and the number is staggering.
Due to the rush through this cave, there is no time to explore this area carefully, how many unknown secrets does this cave hide?
After sighing, everyone continues to move forward, the passage here is different from the past, there are many stone carvings carved on the walls on both sides, the lines are fine, finely carved, the characters, the animals are carved into three points, it can be seen that the craftsman who carved at the beginning, the skills are exquisite, and the carving on the stone wall must be completed in a serious, selfless state!
Everyone knows that it is only now that we have really stepped into the core of the Demon Ancient Cave! Along the way, everyone has already understood that the cave in front is where the cave royal family and slaves lived, which is equivalent to the living area of the 'workers'. Is the secret of the Demon Cave hidden in this space?
The crowd was fascinated by the stone carvings on the walls, which recorded a ······ of war!
The dragon flies, the phoenix dances,
In the ancient battle, man and god fought together.
The walls on both sides are carved with different patterns, which record two different things, but the two things are related. The rock carvings on the rock wall are not long, only about two meters, and they are more than two meters high and square.
The walls are carved with countless people kneeling on the ground, bowing their heads to the ground, looking up at the sky, kneeling and praying to the heavens. In the sky, a woman sitting on the back of a dragon stared at everything below, the dragon flew to the ground, and the woman walked up to a man and handed him a box······!
The Cangyin Daoist looked at the box on the mural, looking extremely excited, Sydney Dahl and Girus stared at the box in surprise, thinking about the unknown thoughts!
Zhou Tianyi was shocked when he saw the box! This box is so similar to the box where the "Zhou Family Tree" is stored, because it is a stone carving, there is no color, and it is impossible to distinguish it. Guess, this box should be the one that stores the family tree at home, the origin of this box is actually the woman on the back of the dragon, who is this woman, she is chasing herself in her dream, does she want to go back to this box, or the contents of the box?
stone carvings on the other side of the rock wall; Strange-looking animals and mythical beasts, armed with weapons, are chasing a group of soldiers who have lost their armor and fled in confusion. More than a dozen people above stepped on auspicious clouds, several dragons hovered in the air, and many strange birds were also flying in the air. What shocked and confused Zhou Tianyi was the uppermost corner of the mural, or the woman sitting on the back of the dragon, looking down as if watching the war below. What does this war have to do with this woman?
Is this a legend, or is it true thousands of years ago, the records on the two walls should be related, the first stone carving is a human praying for help from heaven, and a woman on the back of a dragon came down from heaven and handed a box to their leader, ······! The woman invited the beasts, and the immortals defeated the group of people who fled from the wilderness. Everyone speculated wildly about what was recorded on the stone wall······!
Again, Jiaolong, woman, Shenlong, war, Zhou Tianyi closed his eyes, the origin of the box, the woman on the back of the dragon, the man on the back of the dragon, what is going on with all this? It's a mess in my head!
It is speculated from the entire mural that this war on earth has alarmed the gods of the Nine Heavens, and it seems that even the gods in the sky have been involved in this battle.
Zhou Tianyi's mind was full of turbulence, the ancestor Zhou Daoling calculated the affairs of the family and his father, but he didn't dare to say it, not that he didn't want to say it! Since the ancestors can live for more than 2,000 years, such bizarre things can happen, it also proves that what is recorded on this mural is true, thousands of years ago there was indeed such a thing, this is a common war between man and God, this cave should be related to this war, related to the gods above the nine heavens, related to the woman riding on the back of the dragon, and related to everyone sitting on the back of the dragon·····! What shocking secrets are hidden in the Ancient Cave of Demon Suppression? Even Zhou Daoling, who has a lot of mana, didn't dare to reveal half a word!
Through the stone carving wall, ten lifelike carvings of divine beasts stand majestically on both sides of the passage. They are; Green Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Xuanwu, Qilin, Beetle Snake (Teng Snake), Bai Zhen, Gou Chen, Bi Fang, Nine-Tailed Sky Fox. There are ancient spirit beasts carved in this passage, and the people of Cangyin Dao are smiling, here is like a tomb road, it can be seen that the tomb owner is not an extraordinary person! It won't take long to find the main burial chamber, and what you're looking for should be inside!
Standing in front of the carving, it makes people fearful, and the form of each statue is vivid. It is absolutely impossible to carve a stone statue with the shape of a god completely by imagination, and the craftsman who carved these divine beasts must have seen these divine beasts with his own eyes. These stone carvings are supposed to be used to deter those who enter the cave, so that they know that this cave is not a mortal cave, and that the faint-hearted will leave quickly, and at the same time mark the identity of the tomb owner. No matter who dares to invite the carvings of the ten divine beasts to the tomb at the same time, it can only be said that the owner of this tomb is on top of the ten divine beasts, so he dares to do so!
Cangyin Dao people are puzzled, there is no tomb lamp in this tomb, all the passages on both sides are artificially excavated, the process is very fine, the tomb is smooth, what did the ancients use to polish it?
Suddenly, I stopped in horror ······!
