Chapter 99: The Labyrinth (I)

Behind the towering basalt mountains, often lined with basalt rocks, stretching for kilometers along the sandy coast, with no end in sight, we look like tourists standing on the shoreline and admiring the beauty of the waves. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

The place was very bright, suspiciously bright, and the fog above the sky was not natural sunlight, but a bit of a rigid white light like a hypermarket. Looking up, from the other side of the basalt, there was a red light like cotton wool, which looked like a drop of red ink on the horizon.

"If you don't have a shop in front of the village or behind it, it looks like you have to turn over this basalt." Qian Yu looked at the dozens of meters high rock wall and sighed.

Everyone had a tacit understanding, and without saying a word, they climbed up. This basalt is high, but the stone surface is rough and the gaps are large, and it is not difficult to climb when the falling angle is stable, and there is no fear when climbing high.

The environment here is also strange, I haven't seen half a drop of water until now, but the more you go up, the thicker the fog becomes, and the visibility is very low, except for the distance of more than ten centimeters above, you can hardly tell what else is around. The cars talked as they climbed to confirm each other's existence.

It didn't take long for us to climb to the top of the basalt, and our vision was still full of mist and blurred vision.

Feng Xin put his head on my shoulder from behind at this time, and pointed to a certain place in the sky, "Chen Yunran, look."

I looked at him first, then at where he was pointing, and asked, "What are you looking at?"

After climbing to the top of the rock, in addition to the heavy water vapor and strong astigmatism, the objects in front of you are all mushy and difficult to adapt. I squinted and arched my palms over my brow to block out most of the light.

Slowly, I saw the sky in the distance, and it seemed that a flash of fire was dropped into the air by a translucent cover like a bowl. The translucent solid, which held the orange light, stretched in all directions, gradually merging with the surrounding rocks.

As soon as I saw the object, I intuitively thought of the transparent hanging coffins containing the white corpses, of unknown material.

When my eyes were comfortable with the light around me, I could see the structure of the entire space. There is no heaven or earth here, and the overhead is not blue sky and white clouds, but rocky crust. The color is dark or light, and it feels like it is made up of different. The humble food standing on the side also looked stupid.

"Center of the Earth...... It seems that we have reached the center of the earth. The earth is empty. There's a little sun floating in the middle of the hollow in the center of the earth, and it can't be that, right?" I looked at the orange-red encased in a transparent semicircular solid, and assumed that the half-white solid was some kind of rare rock.

The orange swirls like the fetus of some kind of creature flipping in the mother's womb.

Qian Yan's eyes widened, "Xiao Ran, it seems...... We're really underground, and there's real lava flowing there."

"Magma? Are you sure?" Although I also have this thought, I don't dare to think about it, after all, what is happening now is more fantastic than the Arabian Nights.

When Ziche heard that it was magma, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "I said that thing won't crack all of a sudden, right?" It's going to crack, it's raining magma, and we can't hide from it."

I laughed and said, "Can't hide? If you can't hide from it, it's probably not enough for ten lives to be reincarnated."

It's so close to the underground magma that it should be very hot, but my hairs stand on end, and I always feel shady and cool.

While we were discussing the magma, Feng Xin stared straight behind us with a solemn expression. But he just watched quietly, without any movement.

After about a few minutes, the fog gradually dispersed to both sides, and I realized what Feng Xin was looking at, and my body couldn't help but shrink back.

It's the wall of flowers.

The "flower wall" in the stack of black-and-white photos just crashed into the corner of our eyes.

However, a closer look reveals that this is not really a wall erected to allow plants to spread and grow, but thousands of flower stems as thick as a human arm, growing together in a staggered and complex way, intertwined into a wall, and bright red roses are rushing to bloom.

The flower wall in front of us cracked an entrance, as if to welcome the guests, and we had no choice but to enter.

Ziche shouted whining as he walked, and Qian Yu also shouted at me with a happy face, "Xiao Ran, look, doesn't this look like the rose garden in Alice?"

I voted for an official smile and the heart said, OMG! It's Disney again, and hopefully no one will come out and collect tickets from us.

However, this happiness did not hang on Qian's face for too long, these flowers, the more you look at them, the more weird they are, the roses bloom surprisingly large, the flowers are bigger than the human face, and the roses are not very much up close, but like a bloody mouth, I don't feel goosebumps. The types of plants planted on the flower walls have also changed in the direction of progress.

Then there were three walkways, "Tsk, which one should we take?" It seems that they took pictures to record the route of the journey." Ziche said.

My head flashed, and I knew where I was. This wall of flowers is a labyrinth.

"Don't turn around, let's go straight first." Feng Xin raised his chin and pointed out the path ahead.

The labyrinth, the underground...... "Mitaunos......" I muttered to myself.

Qian Yu asked, "What? Xiao Ran, what are you talking about?"

"Mitaunos. Have you ever heard of this name?"

"Mitaunos?" She repeated, shaking her head.

"I think of a Greek myth."

"What is Greek mythology?" Before I could finish speaking, I rushed to ask a question.

"It's the legend, the legend of the big-eyed, red-haired group of people you just saw above." Qian Yu explained.

"Hmm." I nodded, pulling out all the memories in my head, "Mitaunos is a half-human, half-cow monster who is said to live in an underground labyrinth and eats people. And the ancients in the West believed that Mitaunos represented the underworld and the sun, moon and stars."

After saying it, he frowned.

The underground world and the sun, moon and stars are also a link between heaven and earth.

"It means that Mr. Tsuruka took Namitaunos ...... Mistaken for Shennong?" Qian Yu held his chin with his hand, his expression confused.

"Perhaps it's not impossible that the two are the same person." Feng Xin said.

I nodded and agreed very much, just like Nuwa and the mermaid.

Ziche looked at me and said, "You said it would eat people, did you?"

"This is how the myth goes, and it is said that it was later killed by humans. But do you remember the statue at the door? Obviously, it's the other way around, and in this way, how credible do you think this myth is? Maybe he's kind and kind-hearted." Yes, I believe it is disgusting and kind, at least Shennong in the East is a good gentleman.

"Xiao Ran, how do you know these things?" Qian asked.

I sighed helplessly and replied, "Because I passed the exam."

The content depicted in Western paintings has a large number of mythological backgrounds, which is also true in the East, and paintings such as the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea also have gods as the protagonists.

Damn, this terrible thing about the history of Western art; It's just to drive my discipline crazy.

...

[None of them will go in vain, everything you do now and everything you experience will definitely participate in your future life. You are going your own way. 】

I rubbed my temples and suddenly remembered what my mom had said, and I couldn't help but smile bitterly in my heart.

At present, half of my life has been spent learning to dance and half of painting, although I didn't take these two paths in the end, but I actually came in handy in these things that had nothing to do with it.

After thinking about it for a long time, I suddenly felt as if something was wrong, and I suddenly realized why the surroundings were so quiet.

When I turned around, it was empty.

Feng Xin and the others actually disappeared out of thin air.

And the originally straight passage behind him was also forcibly blocked by a flower wall.

"How is that possible?" Am I thinking about it while I didn't look at the road and walked away? No, no, no, no, it can't be, and if that were the case, one of them would have stopped me. The brain cells were spinning fast, and I didn't care about my heart beating wildly, and I started shouting the names of the other three people repeatedly, but unfortunately there was no response around me.

I swallowed my saliva involuntarily, caught off guard by the change, and suddenly didn't know what to do next.

Suddenly, there seemed to be some rustling sounds behind him, and I don't know where the courage came from, I gritted my teeth, and quickly turned around......

All the branches, leaves, and stems of the flower wall that had been erected on both sides were all moved, and they were quickly rewound together from the left and right sides like countless tentacles, and it became a new wall in a few seconds.

I gasped and clenched my fists, trying to hold down the panic, trying to control my breathing again and again.

His grandmother's, what the hell is going on? How can these flowers move?
