Chapter 20: Wall Painting of a Female Corpse
"What's the sound, why didn't I hear it?" Old Monday asked subconsciously.
Xu Wenbin squatted in front of the human-faced lamp slave, and was about to reach out to light a cigarette, when he heard Xia Jiujiu's words, he suddenly stopped the movement of his hand.
I held my breath and listened to my surroundings for sounds.
"No sound? Are your ears flooded? Xu Wenbin listened for a moment, raised his head and said with a smile: "A woman is a woman, and she can't pass on anyone, not only is she timid, but she also likes to be suspicious." ”
Xia Jiujiu ignored him, and said to us as if talking to himself: "Maybe I heard it wrong, let's go back to the camp to rest first, this road is so long, with our current state, we can't finish it." ”
We don't have an opinion, we're already physically and mentally exhausted after tossing for so long.
After returning to the camp, Xu Wenbin's men had already made a large pot of soup and rice on a smokeless stove.
The content of the soup and rice is very messy, but the taste is particularly fragrant, I don't know why, I drank so many messy things before, but now I don't feel that I have no appetite at all, and when it is my turn to serve rice, I have a big bowl.
I ate this meal very sweet, so I asked the guy who cooked where the ingredients came from and why it was so delicious.
The guy looked at me and said vaguely, "Just eat yours." ”
I immediately felt that something was wrong, when I counted the equipment before, I felt that there should not be much food, why did I boil such a big pot now?
Lao Zhou also ate something wrong, looked up and asked, "Xiao Li, let's come this time, have you brought canned fish?" ”
was asked by Lao Zhou, Xiao Li was a little hesitant.
Xia Jiujiu pointed to the one that ran aground on the shore at some point
Xu Wenbin was a little impatient and said: "I love to eat, I don't like to eat." It was I who told Xiao Li to cut the fish and flesh to replenish the food, so much nonsense! ”
Thinking of the fish monster eating so many people, I couldn't swallow it anymore.
After eating, everyone hastily cleaned up and looked for a place to rest.
I leaned against the bronze door, and almost as soon as I relaxed, I fell asleep.
In my dream, I traveled back to ancient times and returned to the previous sacrificial pit.
The pit seemed to be holding some mysterious ritual, and many human-faced birds in the form of lamp slaves circled back and forth in the sky.
Shamans with masks and feathered robes stood in front of the altar praying for something, and hundreds of priestesses dressed in a soft and delicate white fishskin robe followed the great shaman in chanting.
With an order, the priestesses kneeling on the rammed seals showed pious expressions, and countless acolytes wearing bearskin skirts and black masks came to the priestess with obsidian knives in their hands and mercury vessels.
Mercury poured into the scalp of the priestesses, and their seven orifices began to flow mercury, but as if they didn't know it, they still kept bowing down to me, and their faces full of mercury were still smiling at me......
I tried to run, but I found myself tied to a pillar and unable to move, and the great shaman brought a bowl of something to my mouth, and I looked down to see that it was the fluorescent stalactic lotion soaked in the corpse baby......
"Ahh I shook my head and woke up, only to find the night watchman crouching in front of me and shaking me vigorously.
I took the wet towel handed over by Tie He, wiped my face, and when I moved my arm, I found that my body was sore and painful, as if I had climbed several mountains.
"What time is it?" My voice was a little hoarse, and I reached for the kettle at my waist.
"Three o'clock in the middle of the night." Tie He sat down next to me and continued, "You are burnt and confused, and you shouted and screamed when you slept just now. ”
I was a little embarrassed to hear him say this, wiped my face with a towel twice, and tried to take a sip of water from the kettle, but found that the kettle was already empty.
"Bring it." Tie He reached for my kettle, untied his kettle, gave me some of the water in it, and handed it to me again.
I gratefully took the kettle and took a big sip, and then I felt a lot more comfortable in my throat and stomach.
"What is this doing?" I saw two men from Tiehe painting the bronze door with ink, and asked suspiciously.
Tie He picked up a piece of rice paper that was hanging on the ground and handed it to me.
The rice paper was all rubbing.
I was so tired and chaotic that I didn't notice that the reliefs on the bronze door were so rich.
I flipped through the rubbings one by one, and found that the contents of the rubbings were also related to these face birds, on the majestic Snow Vein Divine Mountain, countless beasts surrendered and knelt down to worship the sky, and on the top of the mountain were archers holding arrows, looking like they were shooting arrows with bows.
In the clouds, countless human-faced birds are flying, seemingly defending the stars in the sky.
It is a kind of totemic worship, and the worship of this bird is so cautious that it is even willing to name an entire nation after it.
Looking at these rubbings, I suddenly remembered Qian Nose's card camera, so I went to his backpack to rummage through the camera.
"Huh? What is it? "Because the light was so dim, I couldn't see what was in Qiannose's bag, but when I touched it, I felt like something was biting my finger.
I withdrew my hand in fright, and pulled a thumb-sized skeleton out of his pocket.
I picked it up curiously, and found that the skeleton's mouth was full of fangs!
No, this is not like an ordinary beast's mouth, how can it look more and more like the skull of a bird, but what kind of bird is it, with fangs in its mouth?
My head was a little dizzy as my brain vaguely guessed the possible origin of the skull.
Is this creature, which is almost the same as a dragon, not only in legends, but in reality?
Is it really as simple as Qian Nose and Wei Cripple, the two of them, just going the wrong way? What did they do when they disappeared? Why is the head of this divine bird secretly hidden?
My eyes were locked on Qian Nose's card camera, and perhaps the answer to all the puzzles was in this card camera.
The quality of the camera is good and there is no damage in the slightest.
I turned on my camera, and pictures of the scenery appeared on the camera's screen.
I skipped over these photos and flipped to the part after entering the cave and began to look at them one by one.
This was the first time I had looked closely at the rammed marks under the corpse of a mercury woman.
On the ramming of the square, the sun and moon, the five divine birds, and the ancient Jurchen texts are all seen very clearly.
I turned my camera upside down and read the short texts.
Because it's so old, I can't understand exactly what the festival meant, but it's probably ...... Heavenly edict, bless... Immortal...
I also couldn't figure out the meaning of a few of the ancient words, so I had to put them aside and continue to read them.
The following pictures are all black, probably pressed in a panic when Qian Nose was chased by Wang Cannon.
Then the camera came back to the picture!
It should be the picture that Qian Nose and Wei Cripple took after they separated from us.
Sure enough, the next photos are, as Qian Nose said, some murals.
I looked closely at the contents of these murals, but the more I looked at them, the more shocked I became, and the content painted on them turned out to be the reason for the worship wall of the female corpse of mercury!
