【Chapter 86】The Tomb Beast (End of the Second Update)

These two huge black shadows are actually two identical sculptures, standing facing each other on both sides of the corridor with their backs against the wall, guarding the entire corridor like guards. The height of the whole statue is about three meters, and when you look up from below, you will feel that this statue is like two Optimus Primes, almost reaching the ceiling.

Rowan looked at the statue carefully, and the carving was actually a strange and unbelievable monster!

This monster has the head of a cow, and the first visual feeling is that the head of the cow is very large, accounting for almost one-fifth of the statue, and it looks a little top-heavy, but it gives people a strong sense of strength.

Not only that, the bull's head carving is also extremely detailed and realistic, and incorporates anthropomorphic elements, frowning, glaring angrily, opening its mouth like an angry roar, revealing two rows of teeth above and below the mouth, and a pitch-black tongue is exposed, just looking down at the exit of the corridor, and suddenly looking at the eyes are still staring at you, as if to warn the comer, as if you can squat down and tear off your head in minutes!

But the most eye-catching thing is the pair of horns, this horn is extremely long, the roots are thick and thin, and they bend at 90 degrees and stretch straight to the ceiling, which makes people feel chilled unconsciously. And further down, it's a human body! He wore a loose three-quarter-sleeved blouse, knee-length, with a sash around his waist, which seemed to belong to the costume of an ethnic minority, barefoot, but only two toes on both feet, as if they were deer hooves, a pair of ape-like arms could almost touch the ground, and in his hand he held a spear with a wide head and a narrow tail, and a long tiger tail coiled on his side. This sculpture is actually carved with a minotaur!

Seeing this, almost everyone gasped, especially Liu He, who had been hiding behind Guang Deliang, but now he also walked out from the back of the crowd, ignoring the danger, and carefully looked at the two sculptures.

The young man just now was sitting on the ground with a gun, the sweat on his face kept flowing down as if he had just come out of the bathroom, and his eyes were full of horror. Opposite him, under the light of the flashlight, you can clearly see obvious bullet marks on the sculpture's arm.

Fat Li took out a pair of glasses from his pocket and put them on, then took out a white hand towel and kept wiping the cold sweat on his forehead, and then began to carefully study the two sculptures.

Liu He asked Li Fatzi: "What is this?" ”

"It looks like it should be a tomb beast," said Li Fatzi's male duck in a loud voice.

Jin Zhong touched the tomb beast with his hand: "Stone-carved? I've never seen a tomb beast of this size, and ...... I've never seen anything like this. Professor Li, can you be sure this is a tomb beast? ”

Li Fatzi used a flashlight with his left hand to illuminate, and took out a knife with his right hand to scratch the stone carving, while saying: "This is not a stone carving, it is bronze!" ”

"Bronze?" Liu He and Jin Chong couldn't help blurting out, and then hurriedly looked at the place where Sun Fatzi was scratching. Sure enough, a patch of turquoise was revealed underneath the black attachment.

"Such a large bronze statue is simply unheard of!" Sun Qian's eyes couldn't help but light up, "If you take one out, you can lie down and live the rest of your life!" ”

A hanging bounty hunter suddenly laughed and said, "Yes! If you have a broken leg, you will definitely have to lie down for the rest of your life! After saying that, the others laughed as well.

Because these people know that such a big bronze, no matter who dares to take it, they can't find a buyer at all, this kind of national treasure level thing, but if it involves a little relationship, then what awaits you is the death penalty. So this thing can only be left to rot in the soil, waiting for archaeologists to find it and hand it over to the state, and no one dares to make a fortune with bronze, because there is no way to do it.

Liu He touched this layer of attachments: "What is this?" ”

Li Fatzi pursed his lips and said: "This thing should be a dye after grinding the leaves of plants, the adhesion is quite good, this ancient tomb building is more than 2,000 years away from now, and it still hasn't fallen off, it seems that it should be a relatively precious thing at that time."

Luo Wen was not interested in these things, so he asked Li Fatzi: "What is the origin of this tomb beast?" ”

Li Fatzi looked back at Luo Wen: "The tomb beast is a common monster in ancient tombs in China; There are animal faces, human faces, and antlers, which are a kind of dark weapons set up to suppress ghosts and protect the souls of the dead from intrusion. According to the Zhou Li, there is a monster called the elephant that likes to eat the livers and brains of the dead; But there is a kind of mythical beast called Fang Xiang, which has the ability to expel the elephant, so the family often places the Fang Xiangclan on the side of the tomb to drive away the elephant. Therefore, some scholars believe that the custom of using the tomb beast is evolved from the legend of "Fang Xiang's clan". ”

Li Fatzi paused, "But the shape of this tomb beast is indeed unprecedented, it is actually a bull's head, a human body, an ape paw, a deer's hooves, and a tiger's tail, and it is made of bronze, and it is so huge, I have seen it for the first time, amazing!" Weird! ”

Sun Qian listened to this fat man Li and was crepe, arched his huge rosacea and wanted to interject and grab two sentences, but he didn't expect Jin Zhong to take over the conversation: "The ancient Dian country has always had the custom of sacrifice, and the cow has always been the head of the three sacrifices, and the ancient Dian people are good at farming, and they have a kind of dependence and worship on the cow, and even mythology, so it is not uncommon to use the head of the cow." But it's really unique to do it so concretely."

Rowan nodded after hearing this, but then again, after all, this group of people came down not for archaeology, so he discussed it with Liu He and decided to move on, because the delay here was a bit long. Although Luo Wen also knows the Tao, if he can know more about this ancient tomb now, he will have a little more guarantee for his future safety. But after all, time doesn't wait, there is Xing Song in front, and there are three teams and seven places in the back, and Rowan can't afford to delay.

But at this moment, Zu Long shook his hand without warning, and suddenly threw out a lancet with a bell hanging on it to Yongdao!

The flicking bell immediately caught everyone's attention. After the lancet left his hand, the bell hanging on the tail rang non-stop, although everyone didn't know what the ancestral dragon was doing, but they all held their breath and listened carefully, but at this moment, an unexpected thing happened, the sound of the bell became farther and farther away, and finally disappeared completely!

At this time, Zu Long suddenly lay on the ground, put his ears on the green bricks of the corridor and listened, his eyes kept turning back and forth, and then he raised his feet to chase!

Standing on the side, the sea with a look of incomprehension pressed the ancestral dragon, and then asked, "You are crazy!" What are you going to do? ”

Luo Wen also stared at Zu Long in confusion, Zu Long glanced at the dark Yongdao, and was a little anxious: "It's not right ahead, I'm going to take a look"

Rowan frowned: "I don't know if it's wrong, let's make it clear."

Zu Long quickly turned the square card knife in his hand, and then nervously explained: "I didn't see anything with this knife, and it didn't land, it seems to have been picked up by something!" ”

After saying this, the whole team suddenly fell into a tense atmosphere! The bounty hunters opened the insurance one after another, and the flashlights hit the other end of the tunnel in unison, the nerves of vigilance were all tensed, and inexplicable fear instantly permeated the team, and everyone's focus was gathered on the dark end!

When Rowan saw it, he hurriedly shouted in a low voice: "Disperse the vigilance!" ”

These bounty hunters, worthy of being professional soldiers, immediately realized that they had just done a very stupid thing, and then the ten men immediately turned their guns one after another, forming a circle of defenses in the area where everyone was located.

Liu He leaned down and moved to Luo Wen: "Team Leader Luo, what happened just now, what was caught by what?" ”

Rowan waved his hand and let Zu Long continue.

Just when everyone was studying the tomb beast, the ancestral dragon vaguely heard a sound in front of him, and it was extremely small, like a knock for help, so Rowan flew out a bell and wanted to make a trip. But under normal circumstances, if the ancestral dragon's flying knife encounters any obstruction or impact, the sound of the bell will become different from the flying state, and the irregular ringing of the bell will be caused by the process from rapid movement to sudden stationary, which is very obvious. The ringing of this kind of impact indicates that there is something tangible in front of it, and the ancestral dragon can basically judge the distance from this thing.

The other situation is that there is nothing in front of you, and the flight altitude decreases due to the exhaustion of the throwing knife, and finally the kinetic potential energy is converted into gravitational potential energy and falls to the ground, but an irregular feedback will also be transmitted. And this time the sound of the bell came to an abrupt end without warning, neither because of the impact of the sound, nor because of the exhaustion of the sound feedback, the sound actually disappeared suddenly, so it is very likely that someone in front of him caught the flying knife with his hand! ”

Everyone was listening to Zu Long's explanation with their ears open, and after listening to it, they couldn't help but clench the handle of the gun, and their eyes glanced at the end of the road from time to time. Liu He was a little nervous after hearing this, his heart sank suddenly, and his face looked very bad. Luo Wenzhi Dao Ancestral Dragon's judgment would never be a problem, but the tension caused by this situation would be infinitely amplified and spread, and it was even very likely to cause some people's mental breakdown.

So Rowan pulled out a flare gun from the side of the sea battle backpack and shot at the other end of the road! Then there was an explosion in my ears, and the meteor-like signal flare, wrapped in dazzling white light, flew straight into the darkness of the corridor in a spiral trajectory. Then the flight altitude gradually decreased, and after four bounces on the ground it finally landed on the ground. Then I looked up and understood, and I understood what was going on with that willow leaf flying knife.

As the flare of the white scorching flare streaked by, Rowan took in everything. It turns out that there are bronze statues of this bull-headed human body on both sides of the entire road, a total of six, all of which stand facing each other in pairs, from the shape to the facial portrayal, they are exactly the same. This makes this corridor seem gloomy, as if this is not a cemetery to the dead, but more like a shortcut to hell, and the feeling of oppression is really terrifying, really like the netherworld road of the underworld.

And at the end of this road, there was a magical sky light, shining straight down from the roof of the shed, and it actually shone on a dead corpse!
