Chapter One Hundred and Two: The Last Story
"No!" Cha Wenbin gently wiped the traces on the wall with his hand and said: "Actually, this is the last painting, you see this line, it has just started a head but suddenly broke off, the ancients usually recorded important things in the form of murals, such a grand scene as a declining small country has no reason to end with just a painting, I guess this court painter's realistic painting was about to be created for the second time when it encountered an emergency and came to an abrupt end." ”
"That is to be destroyed," Feng Qiyun said: "I have always been curious about the construction of such an underground fortress, and there are thousands of miles of mountains and mountains and dangerous obstacles, why the Qingqiu Kingdom disappeared into history so silently, without leaving a word, and now it seems that someone wants to deliberately conceal this darkness." If they tried to hide, I don't think anyone would be able to find out where the remnants were. ”
The fat man said: "Then this jade ring is an introduction?" The people of Qingqiu Country thought that Jiang Ziya really sent someone to commend him, made a grand party, and then came to a national carnival but was served by someone? God, isn't this a little too ruthless! ”
Feng Qiyun said: "There is no ruthlessness or ruthlessness, compared to the reputation of the empire, this sacrifice is simply unbearable in a slave society." If our assumptions are correct, I think there will soon be a hell on earth! ”
The further they went, the more they seemed to be able to confirm that their assumptions were correct, and scattered artifacts, broken plates and clay pots began to appear along the way, and the sides of the walls were not as clean as before, and the large blackening and charcoal residues on the ground seemed to indicate that there had been a fire in the area......
The most direct evidence is the cracked bricks and large areas of blackening, these bricks are obtained from the extremely sticky soil, there is a small brick kiln in Savage Tun, the green bricks fired in it are used by local villagers to build houses, and its strength is not easy to break with a brick knife.
A closed door appeared, about two meters high, symmetrically open, and on the knocker was a pile of solidified pimples, which were identified as bronze chains, which were now rusted into one with the knocker. What shocked them even more was that there was a complex pattern painted with vermilion lacquer on the left and right sides of the door, and from the perspective of shape, this thing looked very much like a talisman used by Taoists!
Cha Wenbin had never seen this kind of talisman, and his mind quickly skimmed over the classics he had checked, without the slightest impression. But from the point of view of the structure of the talisman, the talisman head, the talisman body and the talisman foot are quite clear, and the overall composition is also the Taoist insect and bird seal body, judging from the momentum of the talisman and the structure of the pattern, Cha Wenbin said: "If this is a talisman, it must also be a suppressive talisman, very few talismans are paired, these two talismans are symmetrical, like a door god to guard here, I heard that Jiang Ziya is a top master of Taoism, and all the Taoist immortals on the god list are thanks to him, I didn't expect it to go through so many years, This talisman still looks domineering! ”
"These things are really not people," said the fat man, "it's already obvious, there are people locked inside, where will they tie the chain to this entrance by themselves, so that the people inside can still come out?" ”
"Don't do the stone first, I look very strange at this talisman," Cha Wenbin said: "It reminds me of some places, it is said that there is also a talisman at the entrance of the underworld, which is said to be under the Yuan Shi Tianzun back then, and it is to prevent the ten thousand ghosts in the underworld from escaping from the underworld." ”
"Ten thousand ghosts in there?" The fat man immediately retracted his claw and said stupidly, "That's the ghost door closed." ”
But when the monkey arrived, he became restless again, and first jumped up and down for a while, probably seeing that the men were stopped at the door, and then began to make faces at them.
"Turtle grandson, didn't you hear your boss say that there are ghosts in it? When the time comes, peel your skin and eat your flesh," said the fat man and made a grimace at him, and let out a ghost scream, the monkey seemed to be a little frightened and hid behind Ye Qiu in a hurry.
Seeing that they couldn't make up their minds for a while, Feng Qiyun said: "I saw an alley on the left hand side before, why don't you go over there and have a look?" ”
The monkey seemed to understand his words, and pulled Ye Qiu's trouser leg forward, Cha Wenbin saw its actions and said, "This ape seems to be very happy to go over there, so let's stop by and take a look?" ”
It is a small alley less than 50 meters long, and there are not even traces of blackened oil lamps on both sides of the alley, and there are brick walls on both sides that are painted high, which is completely different from the houses that used to be scattered like streets. However, on both sides of the alley were carved in stone, some of whose heads had been broken off and rolled to the ground, and they looked like kneeling slaves.
There are a total of five pairs of ten kneeling slaves with symmetrical distribution, different shapes, costumes and facial expressions, and these kneeling slaves have a disk-shaped utensil in their hands, which are some cracked hard lumps, which are broken into powder with a light pinch of the hand. Ye Qiu sniffed the plates and said, "There should be grease in it, and these people are holding lamp bowls in their hands." ”
The fat man touched the stone head of the kneeling slave and said, "Why do I feel like we are going to the tomb, these things are like words, this is where the dead should stay." ”
Indeed, the appearance of these stone kneeling slaves is very similar to the Shinto on the periphery of some tombs, since there are people living here, then there must be people who die, and death involves burial. In this land of China, since the beginning of the world, Pangu has been the most particular about the afterlife, so as a palace that is very likely to be the underground royal city of Qingqiu Kingdom, will their ancestors be buried near the palace?
Another door appeared, but this door was no better than the previous one, the stone door collapsed in the aisle, the stone slabs that had been broken into a few knots were already covered with moss, and as soon as they stood at this entrance, there was a faint fishy smell, and the humidity of the air made their noses feel more comfortable than they had ever felt in such a dry season.
The fat man stood at the door and said, "I suddenly feel a lot clearer, how can I smell a smell of a rainy day in the south?" ”
"It's a cold breath," Cha Wenbin said: "This thing is quite harmful to people, and it is most likely to fall into joint disease, but I am curious why there is such a heavy water vapor in this place." ”
Ye Qiu was naturally the first person to enter, but when he raised his legs, the white ape hugged his calf tightly, twisting his head and "squeaking" at Ye Qiu, and from time to time he freed up a paw to scratch his skull.
"It doesn't seem to like we're going to let us in," said the fat man, "Dead monkey, didn't you bring us here, why are you starting to play scoundrels again?" ”
The monkey probably didn't open his mouth to speak, and looked at this screaming for a while, and then looked at that screaming, anyway, he was holding Ye Qiu's thighs alive and dead, and if you want to leave, drag it hard.
"Second brother, it's taking a fancy to you," the fat man smiled, "Forget it, I'll come first." He stepped in with his front foot, and the monkey found this person who tried to trespass without permission, and jumped from Ye Qiu's leg to the fat man's hind leg with a "whoosh", maybe it was too late, this thing opened its mouth and slammed at the root of his thigh. This time the fat man bit him very lightly, and he turned around and subconsciously wanted to kick it, but the monkey hid quickly, but he continued to pretend to be vicious to the fat man not far away.
"There must be a doorway in here, and the monkey is obviously worried about something by not letting us in." Feng Qiyun squatted down and gently stroked its forehead with his hand, and said softly, "Brother Ape, is there any danger here?" ”
The monkey really understood this time, and kept jumping in place while hanging on the ground with his paws, and the little head was like a rattle, and from time to time he made a move to escape, but he just ran out a few meters and ran back in a circle, looking very restless.
The fat man also began to worry a little, they seemed to be a little too smooth along the way, it was like walking in the cellar in their own backyard, if it was really that simple, then the old man of the evil sect, Ye Huan, still needed to change his tricks to encourage them to come here?
"It's much more familiar with this place than we are, Cha Ye, in my opinion, why don't you count it?"
In fact, Cha Wenbin didn't want to just forget it, the current situation is that he is the meat that was pressed on the chopping board, and he can't help himself. He would rather choose the door that had been broken than the door with strange runes painted on it, so he said: "Let's be careful with the monkey's reminder, if you find something wrong and come out again, what do you think, Daddy Miao?" ”
Father Miao also agreed with him, this door is obviously not naturally damaged, since someone has entered, it can be regarded as a thunderbolt. With their current personnel, it is not bad to break into Kunlun at that time, and he believes that Cha Wenbin is a stable person.
Seeing that they had to go in, the monkey seemed helpless, and finally thought about it, it made a vicious gesture towards the stone statue outside, and ran behind Ye Qiu's ass with a little effort, but this time it grabbed the corner of Ye Qiu's clothes very honestly, and it felt like his little son.
After only walking four or five steps, Ye Qiu withdrew his front feet, the ground was soft and wet, and half of the shoes were swallowed without warning, and only with a few spotlights could he see the true face behind this door: it was an endless black country, and everywhere you could see the mud that bubbled from time to time, it turned out that this place was actually a swamp!
