Xiling Maze Chapter 39 Escape (Part II)

I don't know where this underground river leads, and I'd be grateful if it washed us into the exit of the burial area, but if every underground river connected to the lake outside, I guess we would be washed up in the lake with the geyser, and I would have nothing more to say.

The water flow of the underground river is very fast, and the tunnel is extremely smooth by the impact of the current, and we have no place to grasp it, but fortunately, the tunnel is not very steep, and the friction of our slide is also very large, and the water of the underground river is a little warm, so I can control my body so that I will not be completely broken.

We slid down the aisle for about ten minutes before finally stopping at a particularly large exit.

The blind bear stood up first, and he said in surprise, "Good boy! What kind of place is this, how do I feel that we have reached the center of the earth, this can't be the legendary eighteen layers of hell! ”

I shook off the water, but fortunately the big guys were not hurt, I looked around, and it was really deep, it really felt a bit like "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" and "Journey to the Center of the Earth".

I said, "Are we coming out?" Is this no longer in the burial area? ”

Anzi found a flashlight and shone it inside, and through the light, we saw that it was originally a larger tunnel, which was connected to many smaller tunnels, forming a huge underground drainage system.

I was stunned and said, "Oh my God, there's such a huge drainage system hidden in here!" We've been in the sewers for a long time. ”

This may be the last channel for all underground rivers to drain the floodwater, and although it is dark inside, you can faintly see the white of the fish belly ahead, which is likely to be the exit.

Hu Xiaolin pointed to the front and said, "I think our current position should be at the bottom of the mountain, and if we go further, we may be able to find an exit, because the water flows to a low place, and there will definitely be a place for discharge, otherwise, this will have already been filled with floodwater, and we will not be able to walk here alive." ”

Anzi said, "I think Huzi is right, I have been to Yunnan and Guizhou before, where there are many such karst caves in the deep mountains and old forests, all of them are fucking like sewers, and they are big holes with small holes, small holes and big holes, if it weren't for the mountain villagers to lead the way, we would have to die in it." ”

"But these tunnels don't look like they're naturally formed, and you can see that there are so many traces of artificial carvings on the rock walls, which must have been deliberately dug up at that time." It seems that there must be some ulterior secret hidden in this. ”

The blind bear urged again, "Whatever, let's walk first, how do I feel that this place is cold, it won't really be in the underworld!" ”

I smiled and said, "The cold means that the air is circulating, and if we move forward, we may be able to get out." ”

A few of us tidied up our things, and walked towards the place where there was a glimmer of light, the road was very long, but the road was quite smooth, although the four of us were together, but I still nervously kept looking around, lest there be any chaos, at this time, the corner of my eye flashed, and I saw that the ground was covered with white bones, and many of them were only seen torso, not the head.

The blind bear also noticed something strange on the ground, and he was so frightened that he said, "This is really the eighteenth layer of hell!" Do you see that the bones on the ground are leftovers from black and white impermanence? ”

I looked at him and said, "Bear blind man, don't make trouble, okay, such a big person, do you really believe that there will be eighteen layers of hell?" ”

He looked at me seriously and said, "I didn't think I had it before, but now I think I have." Then again, is what you're seeing now the same thing as the archaeology you're studying? Do you believe that all the things you have seen exist objectively? ”

I didn't dare to answer, because my current worldview has been completely changed, and maybe the hell and black and white impermanence that the blind bear said really exists.

Tiger Roaring Forest pointed to the rock wall and said to us, "Look at what is carved on this rock wall?" ”

Looking at the erosion on the rock wall, the age of the relief mural should be as old as this ancient tomb, what exactly is carved on it, I used a flashlight to shine it, and everyone was instantly stunned.

Our eyes were drawn to the strangely shaped reliefs on the rock wall, which are still well preserved, except for some of them, which seem to have been washed away by water, and the other places can see the meaning of the portrayer at that time.

These reliefs are painted continuously, although they are slightly rough, but they are still vivid and beautiful.

Judging from the relief above, it should be depicted the scene when the tomb was built, and a large number of slaves, in groups of five, were tied together with ropes to beat stones and excavate the mountain, and it seems that they were reluctant to build this tomb.

Looking further down, there is a group of people surrounding a bronze coffin, as if in the process of paying tribute to the bronze coffin, but the characters depicted on it are different from those slaves before them, they are all with broken hair and left hair, and their demeanor is noble, very much like the ancient royal family relatives in the sacrifice of the dead king.

The scale of this sacrifice is quite large, I looked all the way down, and the image of the longitudinal silkworm bush was engraved on the bronze coffin, and then there was a huge stone carving of the Peng bird and double fish button was very conspicuous, the more I looked at it, the more I felt strange, why did they engrave the construction of the tomb and the burial process here, is this a construction drawing? I couldn't figure it out.

There is a relief at the end, highlighting the violence and blood of the slave society, at the moment when the door of the next world was put down, the slaves who built the tomb were all locked in, and none of them could get out alive, and the huge five-story ghost tower was hung with the corpses of the slaves, bats and black death butterflies sucking their blood wantonly, and their mutilated corpses were all over the burial area.

In addition, there is a relief, carved like a map of the Yongdao, showing all the Yongdao in the underground palace, the horror is that there are many people who are digging these Yongdao when they are eaten by something that looks like a thousand-legged silkworm bush, leaving only one after another corpse without a head.

It seems that the white bones we see now are the craftsmen described in the reliefs, and the thousand-legged silkworm bushes that eat them are also likely to be the ancient Shu king himself.

This speculation made me break out in a cold sweat, as long as the thousand-foot silkworm bush is still alive, maybe we will be its next snack.
