Emma looked at the pictures and texts on the stone box for a while, and then said to me: "The pictures and texts on this box constitute a complete chain, from the beginning of the construction of this place to the present, it can also be said to be a complete prophecy of the past and the future. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Gu Tong also stepped forward when he heard the word prophecy, carefully checked the pictures and texts on the box, and said to me with an ugly face.

The fat man said: "It's just a bird, how can there be a prophecy?" Who wrote this prophecy? ”

I said, "This is nothing unusual, the nine sons of the dragon are different, and the nine chicks of the phoenix are also different, the fifth of the nine chicks is water, called a prophet, knows the past and the future, and the rise and fall are replaced." It is not surprising that prophecies occur in such places. ”

The fat man said strangely: "According to what you say, the whole palace is made of those birds?" That's. ”

Emma took over and said: "Of course it can't be, Fengyu Nine Chicks is just a mythical story in human history, but this does not mean that things related to the Nine Chicks do not exist, and it is also possible that people pretend to be gods and deceive unwitting human beings, similar to some people in cults, claiming to be able to communicate with heaven and earth, and directly dialogue with God, Buddha, Taishang Laojun and the like." In order to achieve some ulterior purpose. ”

The fat man nodded in response: "Oh... I understand, I've heard before, when I was a child, I went to the township to play, and there was a person like this in the township, saying that he could communicate with the dead, and if the dead person had any last words, and he didn't have time to explain, he could use this person's mouth to tell future generations, this kind of person seems to be called witchcraft. I haven't heard of being able to communicate with birds, so don't you have to understand bird language? ”

In ancient times, human beings had very limited knowledge of nature, and they would attribute unexplained things to the gods. A small number of people grasped this and claimed to be able to communicate with the gods, and the masses who did not know the truth worshipped these few people as gods, and regarded them as intermediaries between the gods and themselves, and asked them anything that could not be explained. Because there are many such people, there will be disagreements, so there is a distinction between factions and tribes, and each tribe will believe in a kind of deity, so the totem was born.

What we see here is nothing more than what the so-called witchcraft made, and the same is true of the things on the box, but this time the witchcraft represents the prophet, and what is said is even more mysterious.

Emma added: "No one knows how to communicate with the gods except the witch himself, and because of this, the witch is often passed on alone, and a master only takes one apprentice for life, and this apprentice is chosen by thousands of people, most of whom have special talents." For example, the yin and yang eyes that we most often hear about can distinguish ghosts and gods. ”

The fat man asked again: "After all, it's not something that some god stick imagined, and you haven't said it, what is painted on it?" Why did it get to the gods and monsters? ”

Gu Tong said: "If you want to explain the pictures and texts on this, you must be inseparable from the gods and monsters." The content depicted above says that at the beginning of the establishment of this underground palace, the regime of Zero City was different from that of other tribes, and the ruling class, that is, the nominal king, did not have much actual power, and the power was in the hands of the nine witches, each of whom controlled one side of the power, checked and balanced each other, and contained each other. Later, another faction appeared, which was in the same boat as the old nine factions, and was eating away at the nine forces internally little by little. ”

It wasn't until one of the nine factions representing the prophet that prophesied with the help of the other eight factions that in the future, Zero City would be destroyed because of the expansion of that faction, so in order to prevent such a thing from happening, the nine old factions joined forces to seal it behind the waterfall, and the old strength was greatly damaged because of this, and it came to the end of the road, and it was no longer able to rule Zero City.

The story should have ended here, and the few paintings that appeared later were what Emma and Gu Tong were really afraid of, and there was actually a line of words written by the Qin State Bird Seal on it, "Those who see this box must play life and death with it, so that there is a way to live." ”

The fat man said disdainfully: "Isn't it just a bird, what's terrible, what era is it, it's so superstitious, we have modern weapons and equipment in our hands, we can't kill it with a gun, we can always blow it up." ”

Emma scolded with a smile: "In addition to being fat and well-developed, can you still have a little brain, and the last picture on the painting is what this thing looks like, which of you can recognize it?" As the old saying goes, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is invincible, and with this painting alone, we don't even know what our opponent looks like. ”

I turned on the flashlight to take a look, but it's not, not only do I not know what the opponent looks like, even the old nine factions that Emma said don't know what they look like, they are all a swirl-like shape, the difference is that the vortex on the opposite side and the nine rotations on the opposite side are reversed.

The fat man was about to speak, but I held him down and said, "Forget it, you can also believe these tricks to deceive children?" The ancients were ignorant and backward, but we are all good young people living in a civilized society, and these ghost talismans should be read as a story. Besides, there are only eight corpses on this ground, where did the Nine Directions come from? ”

I said this on my lips, but I didn't think so in my heart, secretly I would only keep an extra eye on the fat man, Li Guohua's reaction was not right. In addition, there are too many evil things in this world, maybe we will encounter one today, and now we have no way to go except through the waterfall, and Longtan Tiger's Den also has to break through. Thinking of this, he touched the bronze sword on his back waist in case of accidents.

I said to Emma again: "We have no way back now, even if it is a sea of swords and fires in front of us, we will have to go through this sooner or later." ”

After that, I was about to leave with my luggage, but the fat man stopped me and whispered, "You don't want to know what's in this box?" If there is a treasure, we will miss it. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Tong had already approached the stone box, and before I could speak, Gu Tong reached out to move the box, and he didn't open it for a long time, I breathed a sigh of relief in my heart, and secretly said These intellectuals are really elm heads, this thing can be placed in the depths of the underground palace, and it costs so much to take care of it, how can it be so easy for you to get it.

I stopped Gutong and said, "You'd better wear a gas mask, we haven't seen a living creature since we came down, so it's not a big mistake to be careful." ”

Gutong hadn't worn a gas mask since he fell, and he didn't know where it had fallen when he got on the platform. Seeing me say this, I hurriedly looked around for a gas mask. Emma came over and said, "What you said makes sense, but professional things are still left to professional people, listen to what Dr. Tong has to say, let's consider whether to open the box." ”

Tong Qin, who was squatting next to a wet corpse, stood up and said: "The equipment is limited, I took a cursory look, these people are not poisoned, look at their expressions, they didn't suffer anything before they died, we often talk about sitting, from the perspective of modern medicine, these people belong to sudden death, but from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, it belongs to yang qi failure, just like being instantly drained of the soul, and the soul is not possessed by the body." ”

I said, "How do you explain that there are no living creatures here?" ”

Emma said: "Let me explain this, although these corpses are not poisoned to death, but if you look at the blood-colored marks around here, they are all insect-proof substances, this platform should have been sealed, isolated from the air, and it is impossible for anything to come in." ”

I nodded and said, "In that case, leave the work of opening the box to me, I don't feel at ease if you intellectuals do this kind of thing." ”

With that, I walked around the stone box, hoping to find a place to open it. There was nothing else around the box except for those pictures and texts, but after a closer look, I found that one of the ten whirlpools except for the opposite one, one of the nine was not quite right, purely out of curiosity, I knocked on the whirlpool, and I actually knocked off some slag.

Behind the falling shard, a vortex identical to the other side was revealed, rotating in the exact opposite direction to the other eight. I was shocked in my heart, could it be that there is a traitor in this Nine Directions force? Originally, there were supposed to be nine corpses here?

I pressed my gloved fingers on the hidden reverse vortex when I heard a thud and looked up to see a board on the opposite side of the box topping down, revealing a hollow drawer.

I held a flashlight and shone it inside, and there were some pictures on the four walls, which seemed to be placed in something. I don't dare to move this kind of thing, if it breaks down, I can't explain it, so I waved my hand at Emma and motioned for her to come and take a look.

Emma looked at it, reached over and lifted the top of the stone box, and she actually opened it, and the same was true for the left and right sides of the stone box, and the whole stone box was spread out and there was actually another picture. On the bottom of the stone box there was a pure black seal or something.

I looked at it for a long time and asked, "What the hell is this picture?" It's endless. ”

The fat man said with a serious face: "Mmmm... I see, this is the outside tells you that there is a risk behind the waterfall, and the inside tells you that this is the safest, which must mean this. After speaking, he nodded proudly.

Looking at the fat man's proud appearance, it is really angry and funny. Gu Tong looked at it for a long time and said: "The picture and text in this say that if someone is destined to open the stone box, he can take away this seal letter, which is called 'Nine Heavens Seal', and the legend is made of a spiritual stone that fell outside the nine heavens, and it was born with the four big characters of 'Nine Heavens Phoenix'. I have never seen the words on this print, and the last paragraph has been erased, as if it was erased later, and the few in the head seem to be talking about the way to climb over the waterfall and get out safely. ”

Hearing that it was safe to go out, we all leaned over to carefully check the picture and text that was erased later, through the gas mask, I inadvertently glanced at Li Guohua, everyone had excitement or disappointment on their faces, only him, his face was calm, and the calm was a little too much. It's like what we do here, whether we can get out or not, doesn't seem to have much to do with him.

We carefully checked the traces around the stone box, and after several tosses, we have determined that the stone box has not been opened since it was placed here, and the switch is only behind the whirlpool that I knocked down, that is to say, the pictures and texts in the stone box were erased by life when they were made, and no matter who it is in the future, it is a fragment of the book.

And all this seems to have some connection in the dark, and what is the use of this so-called Nine Heavens Seal.

I looked back at everyone, the third child and Li Mei were almost half dead, we now lack medicine to heal them, the fat man squatted on the ground and looked at them and shook his head, Li Guohua stared at the waterfall without saying a word.

The three of us stood in front of the stone box and were a little confused, the information on it can be said to be very important, or it can be said that nothing was given, the most critical place was erased, and we were at the bottom of the next road.

Could it be that there are really ghosts and gods in this world? In this way, it is very likely that we will encounter legendary things behind the scenes, just with our old and weak soldiers, holding millet and rifles, we want to deal with the existence of mythology, what is the difference between sending to death? Thinking of this, I couldn't help but swish in a cool breeze on the back of my erect neck.

I asked Emma again, did it say what we would encounter when we walked through the waterfall?

Emma shook her head and said: "There are no extra hints, we are now trapped in this palm-sized place, and the only hope of surviving is to pass through the waterfall, since the maker of this stone box has let us play life and death with it, maybe he will prepare a big move for us, take this Nine Heavens Seal, let's go." ”

The fat man was already impatiently waiting, put on his equipment, and walked over with a big grin: "I said that you have studied this old man for a long time, and you have not found any results, go to his uncle's prophet, if he is really a prophet, how can he let the family seize power?" Early him. Mother. Why did you go? I said, if you want to jump, jump over quickly, don't grind. After that, he tightened the climbing rope on his body, nailed the other end to the ground, and was about to jump down with the equipment on his back.

The rope tightened suddenly, I shouted a few words at the waterfall, but there was no response, and the huge sound of falling water even overshadowed my voice, because we were inside the waterfall, like a water curtain hole in Journey to the West, I couldn't see the outside at all. Seeing that there was no response, I reached for the climbing rope that the fat man was tethering, and the whole rope was easily withdrawn, but the fat man was gone.

I secretly said to myself, oh no, something must have happened to the fat man. Looking at the empty rope end, his eyes immediately turned red. Seeing me like this, Emma hurriedly grabbed me, and kept persuading, I looked at her open and closed mouth, where could I hear what he was saying at this time, full of the safety of the fat man, where could I still control that, I didn't care about them, put on my backpack, hung up the climbing rope and jumped down. (To be continued.) )
