Chapter 127: Bronze Statue
Grace and the others seemed to care a lot about what was in the secret passage, and from time to time they looked into the depths of the secret passage behind them, and after a few confirmations, they put the oil painting back in its place, and the two of them exchanged heads and left the place in a hurry. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Hearing the last crisp sound of the door closing, so everyone was really relieved, Zhang Chen came to the center of the mural again, opened the secret door to the secret passage in the same way, and turned his head at the same time, signaling Zhao Boyuan behind him to go first. In this way, the five of them smoothly entered the secret passage one after the other, and suddenly, the cold wall behind them closed heavily. What they saw was a different and strange sight.
It looks like an air-raid shelter built during the Anti-Japanese War, surrounded by angular and unbuilt primitive rock walls. The passage was barely wide enough for two people to walk side by side, and every ten meters away there was a faint and aging kerosene lamp on the rock wall, which was dim compared to what they had encountered in the hallway.
The deep tunnels seem to be deep, leading to the unseen depths of darkness. Fortunately, there is no fork in the road here, and there is only one avenue for walking, which also saves them unnecessary trouble. Along the way, the five of them didn't speak much, firstly because they were affected by the quiet environment here, and secondly, because they were afraid that one would accidentally reveal their location. The invisibility potion is almost gone, so they can't afford to have a little bit of a pool right now.
Since Grace has already gone out, it means that they should not enter this secret tunnel again in a short time. In addition, judging from the relaxed expression on his face, most of the things mentioned earlier are still there. Thinking of this, Zhang Chen was surprised and delighted, and now he was only the distance away from the part of the answer he wanted to know, and there was only this last secret passage left.
The pitch-black tunnel winds around like a long snake, and after turning around again I don't know how many large curves it is, the space of the entire dark tunnel suddenly becomes wider, and in an instant it gives people a wonderful feeling of another village. Not only that, but even the two hanging modern chandeliers overhead are much brighter, almost completely illuminating the tunnel entrance where they are located. Zhang Chen couldn't help but look up and look forward, and finally found what he had been dreaming of.
It resembles an altar used for sacrifice in ancient times, and it sits in a small square stone chamber made entirely of earth. Directly above the one-man altar, surrounded by burning red candles, was a berossing monster with eight hands and a smooth body as round as a snake. The five of them noticed this spectacular scene at the same time, and they all trotted to the center of the stone chamber, carefully examining the eight-handed snake-body monster enshrined in front of them.
Underneath the altar is a copper chest for storing objects, which is divided into small drawers, with a number of tiny tabs hanging from its horizontal façade. In front of the copper box is a vessel used to hold incense, all of which looks strangely unreal. On the second floor of the arsenal of Nuoda there is a hidden secret passage, and at the end of the secret passage is a small stone chamber, in which is placed a bronze statue of a woman with the body of an eight-handed snake, and it is surrounded by candles, all of which are incredible.
"This bronze statue can't be the precious object that Grace is talking about, no matter how you look at it, you can't see any difference between it and the snake-headed human body that ordinary minorities use to worship." Zhao Boyuan leaned in front of the bronze statue and looked at it carefully, and couldn't help frowning and said. Just when he wanted to go up and touch the moving and seductive central part of the bewitching woman for some reason, suddenly, Zhao Boyuan, who was still joking, let out a miserable scream, and the whole person bounced out quickly.
His figure was stunned by a huge impetus to eject the stone chamber before he stabilized his figure at the end of the tunnel, accompanied by Zhao Boyuan's scolding and wailing, Zhang Chen stared at the bronze statue with even more interest. It doesn't look like a legendary character from any ancient mythological novel, and he doesn't associate it with a terrifying and mysterious parasitic organization. That woman looked so noble and elegant, even with an otherworldly physique, it didn't give people an abrupt feeling. The pair of eyes full of a series of complex emotions such as tolerance, majesty, elegance, and beauty are portrayed so vividly that it is unbelievable that it is a work of art.
At this time, Zhao Boyuan dragged his overwhelmed old waist back step by step, and said with some tears in his eyes: "Beauty, haven't I touched you yet, as for such a heavy hand?" His innocent eyes caused Zhang Chen and Xinyan on the side to smile slightly, and as for Liu Weiqiang on the side, he shrugged his shoulders as if he was relieved, it is estimated that he originally planned to do so, but he was just preempted by Zhao Boyuan.
"Who do you think this woman will be?" After a little farce, Zhang Chen stared at the bronze statue intently and asked them in a low voice. For some reason, he always felt that this bronze statue was not as simple as it seemed, from its workmanship to the piety of the offerings, it seemed that this bewitching woman still contained some secrets that they did not know.
"Could it be the person in the parasitic organization that Lan Yan mentioned before, I remember Brother Zhang Chen, you also seem to have mentioned that Grace has an unclear relationship with them." As it is true of Xinyan, her mind is always awake, and she is the first to point out the most likely speculation.
"So, by what Grace means by precious items, is that what he means by that?" Liu Weiqiang pointed to the bronze statue, and then, he stared at it with some curiosity and said, "How did it make a person weighing more than a hundred catties fly so far just now?" ”
"It should be something similar to the mechanism designed by the designer, didn't the ancients say that there are some secret mechanisms that can be built for the royal family, and those powerful mechanisms can kill people invisibly. You see, the designer who was able to create such a finely crafted bronze statue naturally wanted to avoid someone deliberately damaging it. Xinyan explained softly on the side.
"So, there's nothing we can do with this thing?" Zhao Boyuan was a little frustrated. Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he turned his head to the side of Aofeng, who had been silently staring at the bronze statue, and had an idea, "Aofeng, you try it with your sniper rifle and see if it can pop out the bullets of the sniper rifle!" ”
