Chapter 149: The Mural of Doubts
The three ooze monsters are probably chewing on three people, and the unicorn cat is standing on top of the coffin and looking at the three ooze monsters, this scene makes me feel so weird: it is like the feeling of a leader looking at three employees.
At this time, the unicorn cat slapped the huge unicorn claw fiercely, and the three ooze monsters immediately slipped out of the wall in an unbelievable way. I went into the darkness and didn't know where to go.
At this time, we found out: it turns out that this cat is the real god!
I walked up to it, and it regained the same cute expression we had just met it, but now I didn't dare to mess around at all, and looked up at the black cat with a huge claw, and I asked carefully: "All those things just now, listen to you?"
The unicorn doesn't speak, only raises its paw.
Is it because of this huge claw?
Looking at the paw more closely, I suddenly had an idea.
From my pocket, I found something where Jiang May died, found something that looked like a deed stone, and handed these things to the cat uncle.
Uncle Cat looked at it and let out a cry of joy. Licking it directly into my palm, he stuffed all the stones in my palm into his mouth!
This cat eats stones?
Come and pay your respects. I turned to look at Zhang Gui and said: This is an expert in corpse control in the animal world, oh Da cat, its unicorn arm is actually used to control corpses! It is the greatest support for us, thank you!
What? Zhang Gui was stupid
Now I understand why this cat's claws are so big: because it is infected with the necrotoxin, its front paws have grown uncontrollably, far more than it can bear, so now it has to find a way to restrain its claws and continue to grow.
With the animal's natural sensitivity, it discovered that the nearby stone, which was close to corpse powder, seemed to have the effect of inhibiting the corpse germs, so it began to devour the stone.
Then, presumably due to its long lifespan, it interacted with some of the creatures produced by the necrotophyllum in it for a long time. I finally found out that I still have the ability to control these things.
That's it, I don't know how long this cat took to develop this ability: it became a cat that can control corpses!
My approximate assumption is that this is true, but the reality may be much more complicated, but the conclusion is certain: this cat can control zombies and corpse creatures in rudiment.
Necrophytes are a general term for organisms that are created as a result of an infection with a necrophyllum fungus. This kind of thing usually only appears in places where necrotoxins are infested, and it's almost always something that no one has ever seen before, and that kind of ooze monster-like thing is supposed to be a corpse creature.
There should be a corpse breeding ground inside this ancient tomb, and gradually formed a set of its own corpse biological circulation system.
Perhaps it is the reason for the mutual restraint, as long as it is near the corpse raising ground, there will definitely be the existence of the Formation Stone, so it has created an incomparably strange environment here.
Looking at that unicorn, I can only treat it as if it were a living person now.
Brother Cat, those people outside are all tomb robbers who are ready to steal all your things here, what are you going to do now? What else is inside this mausoleum? I looked at the cat and said respectfully.
The unicorn looked at me, and I didn't know if it understood or not.
After a few seconds, it turned around and walked to the last of the five open coffins. Meowed at us a few times.
We walked over and looked: the coffin was empty, and there was a staircase leading to the face.
Looking at the empty burial chamber, I probably understood: this ancient tomb had already been discovered and excavated many times. People from the cultural relics department have also come, and it is estimated that they have walked here at most, and neither the tomb robbers nor the cultural relics management personnel have found that there is anything on the original surface of this tomb: the real thing is estimated to be hidden here.
Arranging fake tombs is also a very traditional anti-tomb robbery method, and it seems to be quite successful.
It's just that in front of this gang of professional modern tomb robbers and instruments, these traditional tomb robbers can't hide things like geophones at all.
You mean to tell us to go? What else is there to be on the surface? I asked, puzzled.
We are not tomb robbers, and the most critical issue now is how to deal with tomb robbers!
The unicorn continued to knock on the coffin with its paws, and jumped into the coffin to signal us to follow it.
This time, it used the same unmutated claw.
There is no way, since we are here, we can only follow the arrangement of this master.
The panda man who manipulated me was at the front, and everyone continued to walk in turn. After about twenty steps down the staircase, we came to a completely different place.
If the above tomb and tomb road repair in general, the tomb and tomb road here can be described as luxurious: the top is up to 2 meters, all are the top of the bucket arch type, both sides have also repaired the inclined drainage ditch, and very clean, although the ground is not tiled, but also depicted a circle like fish scales like the line, it is estimated that it is a non-skid line and the like, on both sides of the wall actually painted some murals.
Finally found some internal information about the mausoleum, and we immediately looked at it.
There are a total of eight murals, and the paintings are very exquisite, and they actually have colors, but the colors have become a little strange because of the age.
The first painting shows a group of people bowing down to a person who seems to have horns on his head, and he is painted very tall, with his hands raised, as if he is enjoying the crowd bowing.
In the second picture, the horned man is fighting something with a spear-like weapon: the reason for saying that these things is because his enemies don't seem to be people, but something that looks like a monster on all fours. There's even a six-legged, eight-legged thing in the back, and it doesn't look like a normal creature anyway.
The third painting shows that the man finally defeated a lot of youkai and drove them into a big hole, and the picture is that the person who painted him kicked a youkai into the big hole, and there were countless people behind him cheering and celebrating his victory over the demons and monsters.
In the fourth painting, a lot of people are trying to fill in the big hole, but it doesn't seem to be successful: the big hole can't be filled anyway. Everyone seems to have some helplessness. The tallest man with horns on his head stood on the edge of the cave with a thoughtful look.
At this point, one of the first four paintings is a part, and I understand it to mean that a man with horns on his head and very powerful is worshipped by many people, and he defeats many monsters and throws them into a cave, and then he and many others try to seal the big hole, but it seems that it doesn't work.
On the other side of the wall are four other paintings.
The first scene here is a continuation of the last painting, which looks like the horned man goes straight into the cave, and countless people cheer that this is a blessing.
Then the scene in the second picture is very tragic: countless monsters are attacking the horned man from all directions, but it seems that he is fearless, constantly attacking the monsters with his spear-like weapon, but it is obvious that he is already at the end of his crossbow.
In the third, the horned man crawls out of the cave and is seriously injured (the expression of the serious injury occurs when he is half-kneeling on the ground, one hand is gone, and the other seems to be broken, but he barely escapes).
The last painting appears to be of the man dead and housed in a large coffin. Countless people carried this large coffin into a building.
It seems that this man went directly into the crypt in order to solve the threat of those monsters, and then was forced back by countless monsters, and finally he failed, died of his injuries and was killed, and then many people buried it in the tomb.
I don't know if this is a myth or any symbolism, but the horn on the head is certainly the embodiment of the devil in the West, but it is not necessarily at all in the East.
The horns on the head generally represent the meaning of the ox, and the ox is a powerful incarnation, so many generals will wear helmets with horns on the battlefield, hoping that they can be as powerful as the ox.
I looked at the unicorn and pointed to the man with horns on his head: where is this person now?
The unicorn cat immediately stepped on the ground, and the meaning was obvious: he was in front of him!
This is the grave of this guy with horns on his head?
Liu Yuwei's understanding of art is much stronger than mine, and she immediately understood the meaning of several paintings: Why does this guy have horns? So much taller than the others? Is this man a zombie?
If it's a zombie, what are those monsters fighting him?
No one has an answer to this kind of thing.
However, the unicorn cat seems to be impatient, and continues to urge us to go, and now none of us can afford to offend this cat uncle, so we can only continue to follow it.
This luxurious corridor didn't go far before it came across a door, but it had been opened by the tomb robbers, and there were jacks and other equipment thrown on the side, and it seemed that they were really professional enough.
Originally, I wanted to hear about the situation inside before going in, but the unicorn cat got into it directly, and we had no choice but to fish in.
By this level, the temperature has become lower and lower, and it is estimated that we have reached a very good point.
Behind the door is another burial chamber, but it is obviously a burial object, and the large jars we saw scrubbed by those people are probably here, and some have been emptied, and there are still some left.
The unicorn didn't care about any of this, just ran into a corner and meowed at us.
