Listening to him slowly tell the whole story, I was like a person who stayed out of the matter, not angry at all, maybe all of us were pitted by the ancestors of the Li family, I asked Li Guohua again, what is this thing that can decide life and death thousands of miles away. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Li Guohua said: "The owl is an ancient evil bird, born to kill his parents first, was scolded by the world, everyone said, in the future the owl will die in the hands of their descendants, the owl is also angry, in order to break this fallacy, the owl hit the idea to represent the auspicious phoenix, so that the plan killed the phoenix, because the two look similar, then pretended to be the phoenix to take the opportunity to seize the phoenix nine chicks in the wind, after the wind was raised by the owl, the habits are of course the same as the owl, full of brutality and killing, Hou Yi in order to save the people in the fire and water, And he shot the gale. ”

I've heard this story before, but I've never thought it had anything to do with this weird dungeon.

Li Guohua continued: "This underground palace is divided into three roads, one is the phoenix nest, which is the main hall where we entered, the second is the nine chicks, which is the second road we walked, and the third is the place where we saw the flags of the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions, this one should have been a secret road, do you know why we haven't seen a living creature for so long?" ”

I shook my head to show puzzlement, Li Guohua glanced at me and explained: "This secret passage is not only an escape route, but also a dead end, no matter after people and animals come in, the mechanism here will be activated, producing a strong air flow blade, which can chop people into pieces, only because you blew up the passage with explosives when you came in, and destroyed the mechanism in it, we can survive." ”

Speaking of this, my back broke out in a cold sweat, those strange spiders and scorpions may not have been on the mission to eat us, but to drive us into this passage, if we hadn't picked up these explosives in the Great Rift Valley, we would have been a puddle of mud by now, even if someone came in tomorrow, they wouldn't notice anything wrong, maybe all this was destined in the dark, and our arrival was just a coincidence.

Gu Tong came over with the fat man and others, and saw me and Li Guohua sitting on the ground, and the fat man said in a weird manner: "Boss Li, why are you here, we are looking for you so hard above, Gu expert, this is your fault." Gu Tong was about to defend himself, but was interrupted by the fat man waving his hand: "Don't say it, you intellectuals, you just don't know how to worry about others, your mind is full of words, you must have found some treasure." And you, Lao Zou, you came down with the walkie-talkie, and you didn't know what to say when you found Boss Li, which made us worry in vain. ”

I laughed and scolded, "I'm going to have to take back what I said and be absolutely skeptical of the way your ass thinks this time." ”

Emma couldn't stand it anymore: "Don't be poor two of you, you've been down there for so long, have you found anything?" ”

I put away my smile, glanced at Li Guohua who was sitting on the ground and said, "The equipment is all in your place, I don't have suitable lighting facilities here, I haven't found anything for the time being, let's take a look at it first." ”

Emma nodded, took out the flare from the third child's bag, loaded, loaded, and fired in one go, looking extraordinarily skilled, from the beginning I was curious about her outstretched hand, people who can use guns so skillfully, except for those who grew up in the compound and served as soldiers, I really can't think of anyone else.

The light of the flare instantly made the entire space as bright as day, and the situation inside was fully visible.

Since entering this dungeon, we have seen a lot of weirdness, but what we saw in front of us still surprised us, the top of the space is not very high, it is more than ten meters, but the vertical and horizontal space is very large, Emma's oblique umbrella flare should have fallen, but it was hung by the barbs covered on the top, these barbs are irregular, like a pile of branches.

The ground is empty, there is nothing, there is a cage hanging in the middle, a total of eight chains are tethered, fixed in eight directions, the top of the cage is placed a super-large coffin, the same is eight chains, but the chain is not with the opposite, but just between the two chains below, directly below the cage is a picture of a phoenix singing in unison, around the phoenix ground is covered with all kinds of birds, the head is towards the phoenix in the middle, that is, we often say 'a hundred birds towards the phoenix'.

The surrounding walls are also full of carved pictures, brightly colored, very well preserved, flashlights are still reflected in the light, and it is estimated that it is glass again. Below each of the sixteen chains is an arch, and it can be seen that each arch has some steps upward, at least one of which should lead to the exit.

The fat man looked at the cage and the giant coffin hanging in the middle, and couldn't help but sigh: "Oops... This is called stepping on iron shoes and finding nowhere to find it, it takes no effort, finally let us find something useful, Lao Zou, this time we should go to open the museum. ”

I shook my head and said, "Don't worry, this coffin is too weird, and there is a cage hanging underneath, this kind of burial method is simply unheard of, and we don't know what the cage below is for, and it is very bad for us to act rashly." It's better to see if the murals on the wall can find any clues, and then it's not too late to start. ”

Emma nodded in agreement, and took Gu Tong down the wall to inspect the murals hidden behind the glass.

I secretly glanced at Li Guohua, he was still that calm look, as if it was none of his business, and he couldn't see good or bad on his face at all. I couldn't help but have a strange thought, could it be that this old fox had already gotten what he wanted before we came in? No matter how much we rummaged around, it didn't make sense to him.

But when I thought about it, no, if he had found something a long time ago, he should have beckoned us to leave at this time, instead of looking like this, I always felt that something was wrong, and after thinking about it, an even more terrible thought flashed through my mind.

The reason why this old fox is in this posture is because he knows that there are sixteen roads here, and none of them is a way to get out, and it is impossible for us to leave here whether we look at the murals or open the museum. He may have been ready to tell me the truth, but the sudden appearance of the fat man interrupted our conversation, so he kept silent.

I was a little incredulous, glanced at Li Guohua deeply, and was about to question, when the fat man suddenly shouted at me: "Lao Zou, come and take a look." ”

I had no choice but to give up, turn around and walk towards the fat man. Again, whether it is dead or alive, although God has already made arrangements, if we don't do anything, we will go against the sky, because you will not go to the road arranged by God. After all, God has repaired the road and arranged the scenery along the way, but the road has to go down step by step.

The Fat Man, Emma, and Gutong stood in front of a mural and pointed, and I walked over and asked the Fat Man what he wanted me to see.

The fat man said, "There's a treasure here, well... I don't understand, so let the ancient experts tell you. ”

Gu Tong nodded and said: "What is said on the mural is similar to what Boss Li said before, to our surprise, this is not the ancient Sai people we understood before, the people who have lived here and now are the same as our current Miao people, to be exact, the same ancestor - Chiyou." ”

I wondered, "So this means that this is the birthplace of witchcraft?" ”

Gu Tong shook his head and said, "No, the civilization here is earlier than the witchcraft of the Miao people, and the people here believe in the phoenix." The Miao people were distributed throughout the country in later generations, and the Yunnan generation was the birthplace of authentic witchcraft. The Miao people who believe in the phoenix are only in Xiangxi and western Hubei. ”

I asked again: "Shouldn't Chiyou be a mythical figure in our Central Plains?" How could it be in this Western Desert? ”

Gu Tong said: "You should have heard of the emperor vs. Chiyou, Chiyou has eighty-one brothers, each represents a tribe, each tribe has a totem they believe in, after the defeat of Chiyou, fled to everywhere, according to historical records, and the current geologists argue, the Western Regions at that time was still very rich, one of which had a phoenix totem tribe had a disagreement, some people thought to go west, some people thought to go south, the two sides disputed, and finally parted ways. But this totemic culture was eventually replaced by a strong Han culture. ”

The fat man said: "Saying so much, in fact, I want to tell you that there are some ancient treasures here that have existed for more than 5,000 years, and they were all brought out by their gang when they split up the family. The fat man suddenly lowered his voice and came to my ear: "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint the old fox this time, I don't say anything about the treasure who takes someone's head thousands of miles away, but he was also deceived by the ancestors of the old Li family, and no one has anything to complain about." ”

I looked up at the mural, but no. The things painted on it are almost exactly the same as what I saw in Yunnan, except with the addition of colors to make it more vivid. But there is an extra picture of parting ways, that is, the one in Yunnan does not belong to the Phoenix Totem Tribe.

The painting in the back basically has nothing to do with Chi You, a group of people who originally got together were divided into two groups, one wave arrived in the Western Regions, and the other wave lost its trace. In order to avoid pursuit, this group of people kept their names incognito, and even hid their race, blending with the Sai people who originally lived here, and on the surface they also believed in Buddhism.

It wasn't until later that a member of the Phoenix tribe grasped the rights of Zero City, and Xiao Wan's national strength reached its peak, and this persistent Phoenix man also secretly expanded his belief in Phoenix. Send someone to dig up an underground palace under City Zero.

The mural depicts a group of people carrying tools and sand in and out of a temple whose silhouette is somewhat similar to what we see. Behind him was a king sitting on a throne, and in front of the throne a man who thought he was a minister came to report the situation, and then he led the king to a great mountain, and the whole mountain was depicted in two colors, which was exactly the black and white that we saw outside, but the earth was still covered with grass in those years, but what we see now is yellow sand.

The king stood on the top of the black and white mountain, and looked at the place behind the mountain with a surprised face, but behind the mountain was blank, and nothing was painted. I looked at it and wondered what the king had seen, and was so surprised that the painters didn't paint it.

Gu Tong said: "This is glass, it should be a natural glass mine, the ancient people have never seen this thing, so they are naturally surprised." In the same way, the king attributed all this to the masterpiece of the phoenix, believing that only the phoenix could make such a flawless and translucent treasure in the world. It is also for this reason that the king ordered people to dig this glass mountain, and when you look at the back, everyone is struggling to carry the back basket, and the back basket is indeed empty. ”

Indeed, not only the basket, but also a large group of people behind them used the stake as a roller, and a large group of people pulled the rope on both sides, and walked forward with great difficulty, and on the stake, the rope was tied but nothing was drawn, and it looked like there was nothing.

Or maybe these glasses were very sacred to the king, and no matter how much the painter painted them, he could not express that sacredness, so he staged a new costume of the emperor. However, it is also understandable that thousands of years ago, it was indeed a bit unbelievable that such a large glass mine could appear.

The king sent people to hollow out this black and white mountain, and then used these glass mines to build a city wall, and on the surface, a strange castle was born, with temples, pagodas, and Taoist temples, but under these Taoist temples and temples was a huge bird, but the bird had no eyes.

Due to the special building materials of Xiaowan country, the countries of the Western Regions can only see the prosperity inside it, but they cannot enter, which has attracted countless legends, and some ill-intentioned coveting, some powerful countries want to get this mysterious castle, and have sent troops to attack, you can see and touch, it is conceivable that the result of failure is inevitable.

The old king is getting old, and it is said that the new king gave him some advice before that, and we don't know what it is, but the mural only depicts the last words he gave before his death, and there is no text to explain what he confessed.

Then the old king was buried, and the body was buried in a huge coffin, and with it was buried a blurred shadow, and hung in the dungeon, which we see now, and what the huge cage below was is not described too much.

Just say that the cause does not tell the consequences of the mural, after reading it is really a headache, and the baby that the fat man said may be this shadow, what it is may only be known after waiting for the switch. And what the old Li family is looking for may be inextricably linked to this shadow. (To be continued.) )
