Chapter 41: The Flower Water Cave
"There are many forms of tomb beasts, and when they come to us, there are tomb beasts with human faces and beast bodies, but they are not common. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info However, the production style of this antler can be determined to be the technique of the Chu people." Ziche's explanation was expressionless, as if he was reciting a script, and his tone was full of awkwardness.
When Ziche said "we are there", I think he should be referring to the Tang Dynasty to which he belongs.
Maybe it's the psychological effect of insertion, or maybe it's the case, for a second, when Ziche was talking, I felt the strangeness of him from the inside.
I jumped my eyes to the grave beast in front of me, trying to distract myself from the car. Take a closer look, the antlers on the head of the tomb beast are polished, and the surface is covered with a picture similar to the sketch drawn in small letters, and the finishing of some patterns is powerful, and the pen is just right, the simpler the line composition, the more it can show the painter's solid painting skills. Those totems fascinated me deeply, I couldn't help but take a picture with my mobile phone, and by the way, I turned around and gave a few pictures of the psychedelic flower river behind me.
I took the right position and photographed the Monet Garden during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
The stone boat happened to be in the upper left corner of the picture, and from the screen of the mobile phone, it really looked like a wooden boat floating between the babbling water.
"I don't think this tomb beast was originally here, its color is gray and dusty." Qian said.
"yes, it just appeared out of nowhere, so I thought it would move." As soon as I heard Qian's statement, I was a little excited to refute my own embarrassment.
Ziche stretched out his hand and pressed the flowers behind the town tomb beast a few times, pointed to the place where Qian had just lifted the turf and said, "It seems that from there to the top of this mountain, there is a bronze chain net behind here, this town tomb beast may have been hidden inside, and it just fell out of gravity when it couldn't stand it." As he spoke, he stretched out a corner of the animal skin wrapped under the tomb beast to show us, and there were indeed traces of being torn by external forces.
I muttered something in my mouth and began to blame the east and west, "This man is really fucking weird, the tomb beast is not in the tomb, it is scary to hang outside."
"Haha, maybe it's not you who he's trying to scare!" Qian Yu snorted a few times, "Didn't Ziche just say that its function is to help the undead avoid going to hell, maybe it is the hell ghosts that the tomb beast has to defend against."
After saying it to me, Qian Cai turned his head and asked happily about the car, "It will hang here, which means that there is an intersection here."
"It stands to reason that it should be." The car returned.
They began to feel around, not knowing what they were looking for, the movement was very large, and the whole chain network rose and fell violently, I couldn't stand on my feet, but fortunately I squatted down, and I didn't want to join them in searching. First, I don't have the ability to find ghosts, and second, the words of humility ferment in my heart. The true meaning of this town tomb beast is turning in his mind.
But if you think back to what Ziche said just now, if the soul goes down to the earth and enters the sky, and the tomb beast is to keep the soul alive, then think about it in another way, does this thing have the meaning of connecting heaven and hell?
I think of Anubis (jackal-headed god) in Egypt, when I first joined the company, I took a case of an Egyptian picture book, at that time, because I looked up a lot of culture about the Nile River Basin, many of which I don't remember, but I have a rare impression that Anubis represents the guardian of the dead, and after death, the weight of the heart is weighed to judge the return of the dead, and Anubis's footsteps are also the connector between heaven and earth.
And there is another thing that comes to mind, the Satan of the West. There are many theories about Satan, most of which are that Satan was originally an angel, but he made a mistake and was sent to hell and became a fallen angel.
I can't help but think of some of the content of the previous company's case, when I was only in charge of the illustration part, and I didn't care too much about the content of the book, and I didn't usually think much about it, but at this point in time, these memories came out inexplicably.
The Nexus of Heaven and Earth...... Chinese and Western ideas are vaguely the same on a certain main axis, but the way of expression is different. A vague thought came to my head, not so real.
I looked at the tomb beast in front of me again, and intuitively raised my phone to look up the information, and the moment I clicked on the program, I felt funny.
"Holy! Didn't you say that this was not the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period? My phone is full of Geye?" The moment I put my phone away, I took aim at the signal grid and shouted in surprise.
"Really?" Qian Yan also took out his mobile phone from his trouser pocket when he heard this, and his tone changed from excitement to flatness, "It's full, but there is no Internet."
She hit the nail on the head and got to the point.
"." My face was dark, and I didn't have three words on the Internet, so I slapped back the pistol.
Ziche also shook the mobile phone in his hand and said to me, "Call each other and see."
The conclusion, of course, is ...... Be obstructed.
"But there's a strong energy coming out of here, that's for sure." Sub-car speculation.
"Whatever." I didn't make a pointless struggle this time, and just stuffed my phone back into my pocket. There was no further discussion of the issue of dissatisfaction, and there would be no result anyway.
At this time, Qian Yu nodded my shoulder, "Don't get bored, let's go."
After she finished speaking, Ziche and Qianyu put their hands into the flower waterfall erected in front of them, and pushed their forces to the left and right, and the clods of soil for planting flowers were lifted and peeled off one by one, and there was a dull crashing sound of bronze chains inside. In the flower waterfall, the two of them opened a hole, as if they wanted to explore the Monkey King's Shuilian Cave.
It seems that while I'm thinking about it, they've been very efficient at finding the hidden passage.
The sub-car's chin was compared and stepped in, this time I was sandwiched in the middle, the sub-car was behind the front Qian Cuisine Palace, hidden in the flower waterfall is a long open cave, the rock layers on the top of the cave are not sealed, but are connected to each other after being crossed by many dense tree roots, the roots are criss-crossed, blocking most of the sunlight, the whole space is dark and dark, the air inside is very dry, and the throat feels dry and uncomfortable without taking a few breaths.
As we walked straight ahead, a blind spider-like creature fell on my arm, and I jumped up in fright, recalling the giant insect I had experienced in Nuwa's tomb, and I hurriedly waved it away in disgust.
None of us spoke, and after walking for about fifteen minutes, we came out of the dark cave and saw two narrow canyons that pierced through the sky.
It was as if a walkway had been deliberately cut out of the mountain, and the sky above it was self-connected. It was very similar to the feeling when Moses used his cane to divide the parted sea, but in front of my eyes were two mountain walls, and the situation was not too magnificent.
Ziche didn't say anything, the side of the body got into it first, this canyon is narrow but not long, an adult needs to step sideways a few steps to cross, but the canyon wall is really his grandmother's natural, uneven mountain rocks scrape my back quite stinging, I feel uncomfortable not only me, even the humble food behind me should be called.
And after enduring the pain through the valley, we were greeted by a red peach forest and ...... A village?
