Hell's Gate, Chapter 40, Enlightened Beast

"Fish? There are no fish, nothing. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Nima, I'm so lucky, I don't even mess with these newts. It seems that the work of pathfinding is indeed not done by people!

Except for himself, who didn't have a gun, the other six people in Mueller's group were all fully armed and twice as strong as us. The snowman didn't fight them, and he was very wise, otherwise he would probably die ugly.

Mueller seemed to be interested in Mike's corpse, and the guy took a blood sample with his syringe and stored it in his backpack like a treasure. Damn, it looks like this old ghost has picked up a treasure again.

After a little rest, the team regrouped and moved forward. Krishner and a white man opened the way in front, and Hans and another black man were in charge of the break.

When passing through the drip hole in distress, nothing happened except for the wet and slippery road. The snowman seemed to have vanished into thin air, never to be traced again.

The cave gradually became more and more empty, and the top became higher and higher, as if the whole mountain had been hollowed out, and our flashlights were no longer enough to shine to the end.

As I was walking with my head down, the two dogs grabbed me. I saw him look up, his face was different, and he was just about to ask something, but the corner of his eye swept over, and he couldn't help but stand there, dumbfounded.

We saw a huge broken stone staircase, like a miracle, in front of us, and everyone involuntarily stopped and looked up.

This stone step was obviously carved by man. Each step has a depth of thirty or forty centimeters, up to tens of meters horizontally, the stones are stacked on top of each other, and the height is not at the top, just like a ladder to the sky, endlessly. Standing under it, I suddenly felt incomparably small, and my sense of awe aspired to it.

In the midst of his dizziness, MΓΌller's eerie voice rang in his ears again: "The legend is true. The ladder, this is the ladder! Fengfu Jade Gate, the sun and the moon enter, the enlightened east, the ten witches rise and fall. At the end of the ladder of heaven is the capital of the Yellow Heavenly God. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Immortal City, the ancestral land of the ancient East! ”

The fat man whispered beside him, "What is this old man talking about?" Why can't I understand? ”

I said, "He's talking about myths and legends." Fengfu Yumen, where the sun and the moon entered, means that the capital of the Yellow Emperor is very majestic. Enlightened East, the Ten Witches ascend and fall, it is said that the ladder of heaven, legend has it that there is an enlightened beast guarding outside the east gate of the capital, and wizards can enter the heavenly court through the ladder from here. ”

The fat man opened his mouth, looked at the stone steps and said, "Madman, you mean that if we go up from here, we can enter the heavenly court?" ”

I smiled bitterly and said, "Isn't the emperor's palace called Heavenly Court?" The Yellow Emperor is called the Yellow Heavenly God, but he is actually a tribal leader. His surname is Gongsun and his name is Xuanyuan. The two emperors of Huangyan united, especially Zhuolu, they were the ancestors of the Han people. Later generations deified the two emperors, and the Yellow Emperor became the mythical Yellow Sky God. The reason why Kunlun Mountain is the land of the ancestral court and the hometown of the gods is that it is said that the lower capital of the Yellow Emperor was built here. In my opinion, we have found the old nest of the Xuanyuan clan. ”

Myths and legends cannot be confirmed, but the imperial palace may have survived. It is an indisputable fact that the stone steps in front of him are clearly built by manpower and are large-scale.

The fat man said, "Since it is a capital, how can it be built underground?" ”

I thought about it for a moment and said, "Prehistoric people generally lived in caves, and when the Xuanyuan clan ruled the tribe, they still had the habit of cave dwelling. The construction of the house was complicated and time-consuming, and it is speculated that they discovered the natural caves here, transformed them, and became the base camp of the tribe. Fatty, in fact, if you pay close attention, there are many such prehistoric civilizations, not only in Kunlun Mountain, but they have not been discovered. ”

The fat man nodded and said, "It's like a lot of ancient tombs, waiting for us to visit." Let's hurry inside, maybe there are a lot of treasures inside. ”

Damn, this guy is really hopeless when he wants to be a tomb robber.

Han Lisha did not participate in our discussion, the woman looked up at the stone steps, looked excited, stood for a long time, and took the lead to walk up the steps.

Everyone stepped up their vigilance and followed silently. After walking more than a hundred steps, we reached the top without any danger. The flashlight shone around, and the fat man jumped and shouted, "Someone! ”

In the flashlight, several meters in the air opposite, several strange huge human faces were facing us, as if staring at us coming up the steps.

"Not people." Han Lisha said: "It's a stone carving. ”

She wore red night vision goggles, certainly better than we could see, and she probably noticed the odd stone sculpture while she was on the steps.

I took a few steps closer and took a closer look at the huge stone sculpture in front of me.

The stone carving is made of local materials, which is actually a boulder protruding from the ground. This boulder is made of jade and non-jade, almost 10 meters high, covering an area of about 50 square meters, just like a giant beast lying on the ground, it will stand up at any time and choose people to eat.

In fact, the stone was indeed carved into a giant beast. The stone is in the form of a beast with a head composed of many human faces. Counting carefully, there are a total of nine human faces, with a fierce expression, eyes that bulg, and two faces have been completely peeled off, leaving only one flat. The body of the alien beast is a bit like a tiger, and it can be seen that it has four thick and powerful limbs, and the tiger walks in a dragon, full of a sense of strength. The whole statue is magnificent, coercive and compelling, although the details of the carving are rough and simple, but it is natural, ghostly, amazing.

The fat man said, "Why does this guy have so many faces?" ”

I said, "Angry eyes and TV, leopard roar and mountain cracks." Enlightened nine heads, Yuzi gold essence, tiger body and human face, sure enough. ”

The fat man said, "Why can't I understand?" Crazy people, talking about people. ”

I said, "This is a legendary beast whose name is the Enlightened Beast." It has 9 heads, with the body of a tiger, and is said to be very tall and powerful, guarding the main gate of the Yellow Emperor's capital, and each head takes turns resting, never closing its eyes. ”

The fat man "cut" and said, "It turned out to be a janitor." ”

I said dissatisfiedly, "The janitor? To put it lightly, the Sphinx is not a gatekeeper yet? You see, people all over the world know it. This is a national treasure, much better than the Sphinx! ”

Mueller stretched out his hand, stroked the body of the giant beast, and muttered, "Enlightened Beast, it turns out that this is the Enlightened Divine Beast." ”

Han Lisha said coldly: "It's just a totem, don't waste time." The capital is just ahead, let's hurry inside. ”

It occurred to me that this was just a statue, and since there was an enlightened beast, it was really possible to find the underground capital.

Legend has it that the enlightened beast guards the east gate of the capital, and the east gate is called the enlightened gate, with nine gates, nine wells, five cities and twelve floors. The jade fence is the boundary, surrounded by the city outline, and the different trees are luxuriant, which is the first scenic spot in the world. If the legend is true, it is truly a shocking discovery.
