Chapter 35: The True Face of the Shadow

I looked at the humanoid and goosebumps fell to the ground for no apparent reason.

At first glance, it seemed to be a stone statue, but then I realized that it was impossible, because the form was so realistic, and it felt like a solidified hanged man. At that time, even if someone wanted to carve such a shocking thing, they would not carve such a portrait, although there were many evil gods in the Nanban region, but they took the exaggerated route and did not depict it realistically.

There are so many strange things along the way, I don't dare to despise it, I can't imagine that this thing is the green light just now, and the location looks just right.

Carefully approaching the humanoid, the waxing of the dead became more pronounced as I swam closer, and on the other hand, I noticed that its right hand had been disconnected from its wrist, and the entire hand was missing. Not cast like this from the beginning, but destroyed.

Sample! If you want to learn Venus, you haven't learned home! I hesitated for a moment, and carefully used the military thorn to scrape off the white sè sediment of the face, wanting to see its original face.

When I scraped off a piece, I was taken aback, the thing itself was actually black and red colorful flowers, but it was not very bright, and it was faintly tangled. It's like mold. If I continued to scrape, I found that the black, black, red, and red mottled mold flowers turned out to be rust, and this thing turned out to be iron.

No! Is it an iron figurine? I had the courage to pinch it with my hand, and sure enough, it was solid iron, some places may have been quenched well, and it has not yet rotted, and you can even see that the surface is carved with a very jīng pattern, and the other surfaces are completely rusty, all dark red spots.

I gradually realized something, and immediately scraped all the attachments off its body, and a very unique iron figurine soon appeared in front of me.

I couldn't help but be a little stunned, because the impression that this thing gave me just now was that the shape was realistic but the surface was simple, but now I look at it, its surface has been polished and polished, although it is rusty now, but I can be sure that it was very jīng before it, and it is full of beautiful patterns, which is a work of art. When I touched it with my hands, I felt that the patterns were exactly the same as those of the iron blocks found under the bed of stuffy oil bottles.

I understand! This is what the archaeological team salvaged underwater! Those pieces of iron are the fragments of this iron figurine.

Is this a cultural relic? Is there archaeological value?

Then I thought that the stuffy oil bottle had said that these pieces of iron were very dangerous, so I kept an eye on them, stopped touching them, kept my distance, and observed them carefully.

I have no research on ironware, but I have a deep understanding of gilded bronze ware, iron figurines have been seen in the antique market, they belong to tin ironware, they are all small pieces, I have never seen such a large one. First, the iron in ancient times was very expensive, such a large iron figurine, not to mention others, is the consumption of the hopper is very amazing, and secondly, the iron is not easy to preserve, too easy to rust, there are a lot of iron Buddha in the Ming Dynasty, in fact, they are all hollow.

If the overall workmanship of this thing is the same as the iron block of the stuffy oil bottle, it is basically solid, and it may contain something, but it will not be space, and it may be very heavy. Such a heavy thing, is it a big iron magic weapon of Buddhism, what kind of demon is used to lock it?

I was cranky, but I also knew that it was impossible to come up with a reason, and that there was no one leading line for everything, and no matter how much I thought about it, it would not be useful.

I wanted to see the pattern of the iron figurine, but the rust was so bad that I couldn't see the whole at all, and I couldn't see it anywhere else. Panma once said that there are a lot of iron blocks, is there more than one iron figurine here?

But there was nothing around, there was nothing, and this kind of thing was so big that it couldn't be crushed under those collapses and not be seen. Where did the iron pieces taken away by the archaeological team come from?

Could it be that there are the same iron figurines in every Yao village here, distributed throughout the village? Or is it somewhere else hidden inside the ancient building?

Subconsciously turned his head and saw the gate behind him.

Thinking back to that photo, there was a corridor on one side of the screen, and I adjusted my position and found that the corridor where the photo was located was the back door of the back hall.

In an ordinary old house, this gate should be the first to enter the compound, but there is only the front face of an ancient building, so this door goes out after it, and the outside is the bluestone street of the ancient village, which cannot be a corridor.

However, as far back as I can remember, the door frame in the photo is exactly the same as here, and there is no doubt that it was taken here. How can there be deviations? Could it be that at the time of the photoshoot, there was a corridor here, but it was later demolished?

My concept of time is completely confused, and it seems that the time when the photo was taken, the time when the ancient village sank, must be reconsidered.

Swimming closer, the carved door showed no signs of decay at all, and when I pulled it, I found that it looked like wood, but it was actually an iron door. Then I used a searchlight to illuminate, and I was stunned for a moment, I didn't see the bluestone road outside, behind this door, it was really a corridor.

The corridor is not flat, but slopes down to the depths of the earth, and the situation on both sides is exactly the same as in the photo.

I'm more and more sure that the place where the photo was taken is here, and I have a spirit in my heart, and my heart will not, if it is such a structure, the back door of this back hall is connected to the corridor, and the corridor leads to the underground, is this ancient house a backward entry, but this backward compound is built underground?
