XXVII. Shinto
In the dark, I tensed my nerves and quickly stood up, but who knew that I hadn't yet stood firmly, I felt my feet slip and the whole person slid hard, and at the same time I drove countless things like stones, I tried to stabilize my body while trying to find a sense of balance, but in the end I still slid down, the feeling was obvious, I was rolling down from a small mound.
And at this time, my flashlight in the "mound" also turned out from some miscellaneous things, I picked up the flashlight, and shone it around, only to find that this was a burial ditch, countless white bones, corpses piled up into a mountain of corpses in this place, I began to fall is a mountain of bones, on the mountain of bones, black bones can be seen everywhere, I squatted down and picked up one and looked at it, "This is poisoning and death." I said to myself.
Standing up, I looked around, it was a one-sided ditch, on my left was a dirt wall, tens of meters high, connected to the mountain, which could not be crossed, and on my right hand was a slope, the angle of the slope was not large, but when I looked at it, the first view here gave me the feeling of a garbage dump, and these bones fell from that slope.
I tidied up my bags, picked up my flashlight, and thought about walking down the slope, it couldn't be more obvious, I now seem to have entered the periphery of a tomb, this is a burial ditch that cannot be considered an orthodox tomb, but since it is all in the underground artificially developed space, it is not an exaggeration to say that it has entered the tomb. But in any case, if I stayed in this place all the time, I would feel a little frightened, and I hurriedly kicked away a corpse and walked forward. Don't know what on the steep slopes? However, it stands to reason that it should be the entrance to the Great Tomb Qin Mausoleum, where is the existence of the Spirit Hall and the Urn City at most, but now the question arises? So where am I going to find Hu Yinman? Why was she brought to the grave by the woman's body?
As I walked, I thought that I didn't have much fear of the tomb, and I really knew a lot about the tomb in my memory, and it was not an exaggeration to say that it was like entering and leaving the house, right? I kept my head down, surrounded by mountains of bones, and as I passed a mountain of bones, something rolled at my feet.
I stopped, fixed my eyes to see, it was actually a human skull, I raised my head, looked at the place some bones suddenly trembled, I frowned and felt a little wrong, if I had touched it, it was fine, but I was just passing by? How could there be such a big reaction? My heart pounded, and a bad feeling came over me, and I turned and ran over the pile, and then the pile of bones fell completely, blocking my way.
My heart trembled, and I hurriedly bypassed this pile of bones that had been scattered, trying to get out of the interval of another pile of bone mountains, but before I could run to that place, I saw the bones on that bone mountain fall one by one, and my head was shocked, and then I went around a pile of bones again and again, and they all seemed to fall down as if they had spirits, blocking my way. In a few moments I had already run sideways for dozens of meters, and behind me there were bones lying flat in the ditch, and I felt more and more powerless in my heart, could they all be dead people? Why is there still consciousness?
The fear came over me, and I began to wonder if they were really dead. Or what do they want me to do here?
At this time, a feeling of someone pushing you under the soles of your feet slowly emerged, it stands to reason that this is nothing, you have stepped on a bone at most, but I can feel it now, feel that vibration up and down, as if you stepped on a person's fingers, and that person kept struggling with his fingers to show that you guessed him, but this is not the case now, not like this? Is this a tomb after all? How could there still be living people? What's more, even if I stepped on a man who fell in a pile of bones, then why didn't he scream out? Just a finger snap?
Maybe he only has one finger left?
I panicked and let go of my feet, under the light of the flashlight, I saw a worm-like thing laboriously out of the soil, I was speechless for a while, I didn't think it was a small bug, I must have felt the heat of the soles of my feet, I smiled and squatted down, looking at the worm's circle of earthy yellow markings, no feet and eyes like earthworms.
I couldn't have imagined that such a small insect could have so much power to not only lift the soles of my feet, but also make those bones roll down in confusion. I carefully clamped it with my hand to pull it out to see, but I couldn't pull it anyway, and finally as the soil layer on the soles of my feet cracked a little bit, I jumped to the side in a hurry, and found that this thing actually came out of the ground inch by inch, and finally stood completely erect in front of me more than two people tall, and I had only played with one of his tentacles.
Its whole body is an earthy yellow color, the flow of liquid inside is very clearly visible, like a translucent test tube, and it makes a disgusting sound between the wriggling, and it is worth mentioning that its size is very small, completely a small snake, not proportional to its length.
It looked down at me, and I subconsciously took a few steps back and hurriedly pulled the machete out of my bag. The previous Pangu knife is gone, and the only thing left to defend yourself is this thing.
There are two antennae in the tentacles, and the tentacles are wrapped in a transparent liquid with a pair of tiny eyes, which are concave and convex, and it would be fine if it was a girl, but this grows on the body of a long worm and I suddenly have a feeling of wanting to vomit.
Actually, this is a very interesting idea that if I cut it with this knife, I will not be splashed with those disgusting liquids, and then pus will flow from the top of my head and sores under my feet. It was boring, but I watched as a pipe carrying liquid on the side of the bug's body swayed up and down as it swung.
I was thinking that it was not a way to keep looking at each other like this, who knew that the guy suddenly made a shaking posture, swayed and crawled backwards, straight around a pile of bones, I was very stuffy, swept there with a flashlight, only to see that the group of bones scattered white embryos defended by the transparent epidermis, and that layer of epidermis all had another small white thing, maybe the egg white inside, that kind of thing is used to supply the nutrients needed for embryonic development.
"It turned out to be to protect my embryos." I watched it consciously take a step back, leaning against the wall so as not to alarm the mothers, and prepared to find a place far away where there were no piles of skulls before going out.
After a while, I climbed towards the top of the steep slope, the slope here was very smooth, there was not even a trace of what I could focus on, I climbed with great difficulty, and gradually found that the higher I went, the more I found that the space on both sides was getting smaller and smaller, and finally I realized that it was a horn-shaped structure, and there was a very small door at the top.
The place near the mouth of the horn in this inverted trumpet structure is depicted in large numbers, the scene of slaughter, I saw that most of those people were killed alive and thrown in through the door of the "trumpet", I gasped for breath, did not have time to worry so much, until I reached the "trumpet" mouth, grasped the iron railing of the door, and breathed a sigh of relief.
The light of the flashlight hit a straight avenue, and I made sure there was no danger and slammed open the door and slipped inside. In front of me was a huge space, above which was dark, not like a funeral ditch where you could see the height, where the flashlight shone upwards without an end.
In front of it is a passage, and in the middle of the passage is neatly paved with bluestone bricks, and on both sides are various statues standing there for a long time. They are between meters and meters tall and about the size of a real person. Dressed in different attire, there are robes with waists, and there are also those with purple sleeves with lapels. But they all stood side by side, their hands arched forward, and their postures were extremely humble, as if they were lining up here to welcome the emperor's arrival.
"Looks like this is Shinto." I murmured, looking further away. It was the existence of the mausoleum palace, the place where countless tomb robbers longed for the most, but they did not know that their desire would be to bury him little by little, because the more valuable a thing is, the more people will know that there are many things to protect it.
And now I stood here, looking around in confusion, as if there was no reason not to let me in, and after thinking about it, I opened my legs and walked onto the Shinto.
The Shinto arrangement is very simple, but it will definitely not hinder the momentum of a large mausoleum, because it is those magnificent sculptures that are present. These stone figures use the facial features washing carving method, arm movements, standing posture proportions and other expressions and the original people are 1:1 size, and the general style inherits the tradition of the stone people of the Northern Wei Dynasty.
I remember that the character portrayal of the Northern Wei Dynasty was mainly to convey the majestic and majestic demeanor, the posture required the chest to be straight, the face was level-up or down-looking, and the clothing pattern treatment also basically formed a stepped type, double-line type and single yin line type of engraving, which was a long line of downward hanging combined with a fan-shaped radial short line, emphasizing a sense of rhythm.
In general, if this thing is carved according to the 1:1 method, it is definitely delicate and exquisite. Not to mention being able to put it in front of the grave. I was thinking that this side has walked to the door of the palace, this door is nearly 10 meters high, 8 zhang (26 meters) look, I saw it is the first time to see this kind of wide than high city gate, I watched it after the years of invasion most of the patterns have been unrecognizable have turned into patina, but the door can still vaguely see a little bit of the depiction of the door god, that is the belief of people in ancient times, I pulled the door on the two copper rings and struggled to pull it open.
The so-called "Shinto" means that the ancients believed that after death, people could face the tomb with their feet and stand up to get out through the tomb. In this way, Shinto is a bit of a superstitious idea, but the people here stand up and pass through after death, which actually means the soul, because the ancients believed that the body is lost after death, but the soul is still there, so they built a palace of their own for their souls.
The Shinto in front of me is in the form of a staircase in the second half and is more than 400 meters long. And it's all going up step by step, in fact, I'm very puzzled by this, because the tomb in my image gives people the feeling that they are all in the mountain, under the ground. I don't know what the meaning of this rising staircase is, and the statues on both sides look at me with that pale gaze without eyes, and I am all on the stairs in vain, and there are constant echoes coming from the bits and pieces.
But at this time, I only felt a burst of "boom" above my head, a faint light illuminated it, and then "poof" I felt like a cloth bag had fallen down, I raised my head, where not far from the zenith, a sky brick fell, and the light was revealed from there, I was in the dark for too long, and I couldn't accept such light for a while, I raised my hand to block the slight sunlight, and suddenly a person's voice came in, "Erdanzi?" Two eggs? Damn, I guess I fell to death, you guys be careful, show me the road below, don't be afraid of any traps, just blast that mouse out for me, you have something to eat and drink. ”
