Mountain and Sea Demon Tomb Chapter 7 Kobold Statue (1)
The three of us set off and crawled forward for more than ten minutes. Everyone was injured, and the fat man's big body couldn't move away in this narrow secret passage, so it didn't go far after climbing for more than ten minutes. The fat man suddenly shouted in front: "Commander Hu, it's here." ”
My heart jumped uncontrollably, and just as I was about to open my mouth, the fat man said, "**, this side is also sealed." "After listening to the fat man's words, I suddenly felt like I had fallen into an ice cave, and suddenly I thought of when I was in Kunlun Mountain. It's cold all over my body. Are we locked in an underground labyrinth?
Shirley Yang said calmly: "Fatty, you touch it carefully to see if there is a mechanism that can be opened." There's no reason to devise such a difficult route just to trap people here. ”
After listening to Shirley Yang's words, the fat man began to touch carefully near the exit. Shirley Young and I waited quietly behind the fat man, the air as if it had frozen. I don't know how long it took, but I heard the fat man shouting: "Found it!" The iron plate in front of it slowly opened with a clicking sound. The fat man took the lead and got out of the trapdoor, followed by Shirley Young and I.
The three of us emerged through the secret passage and found ourselves in a dark room, where Shirley Young opened the wolf's eye and a huge statue stood in the middle of the room half a meter away from us. Under the strong light of the wolf's eyes, the statue looks unpredictable. As the light moved, a huge dog's head was reflected on the wall behind it, fangs visible. The flashlight moved downward, and it appeared to be a horse standing on the ground, in good shape.
The fat man looked up and down and said, "Is this statue a treasure?" It doesn't look very valuable, at most it's a bronze statue. But wasn't there a horse in ancient times that was quite valuable when it stepped on Feiyan? Maybe this horse and dog are also from that dynasty. But how do we get it out of this big? ”
My wolf eye fell into the water during the fight with Oni Aoi, and I said to Shirley Young, "You take me around the room, maybe you can find something." Shirley Young nodded and walked to the corner. The flashlight shines on the polished walls, which look the same as the kitchen room that I came in earlier. Shirley Young shone the flashlight downward, and an ugly face came into view, with muscles twisted and a mouth wide open, showing a mouthful of fangs. Shirley Yang didn't expect such a hideous and ugly face at all, let out a low exclamation, took a sharp step back, and leaned over to me.
The fat man heard Shirley Yang's exclamation, hurriedly walked over with wolf eyes, and was surprised when he saw that face: "Could it be that this is a zongzi?" ”
I took the wolf's eyes and looked carefully at the corner of the wall, and found that the ugly face turned out to be a statue of a person, with his whole body **, kneeling on the ground with his head held high, his eyes closed, and his mouth open as if he was crying, as if he wanted to swallow something. I turned my flashlight to the rest of the room and saw nine identical figures kneeling along the walls of the room, in a circle, with the dog's head statue in the middle. The three of us stood next to the dog-headed statue, surrounded by nine ** figures, only two wolf eyes glowed with a miserable white light, and the black shadows were gloomy.
The fat man took a flashlight and carefully looked at the portrait in front of him, the portrait was black and greasy with a layer of substance, and he couldn't see its own color. The fat man had the audacity to reach out and knock on it, and the figure made a muffled sound, which did not sound like metal. The fat man turned back to me and said, "Old Hu, how can I have a hunch that this person seems to be made of real people." ”
Shirley Yang also looked at the portrait carefully, especially focusing on the bloody mouth, shining a flashlight into it. She suddenly turned back to me and said, "Old Hu, give me the lighter in your backpack." I took out a lighter and threw it to her, and she tore off a strip of cloth from her dress and rolled it into a thin strip and put it in the figure's mouth. With a swoop, strips of cloth lit up, illuminating Shirley Yang's face.
"Isn't it ......," I said thoughtfully.
Shirley Yang walked quickly to the other figures, tore off the strips of cloth and put them in the statues' mouths as he had just done just now, and lit them one by one, and the whole room suddenly appeared in a bright firelight.
The fat man shouted: "Old Hu, look! I turned my head, and the dog-headed statue in the center stood in the middle of the room, emitting a faint halo of bronze that emanates like a bronze vein. The lower part of this statue is a handsome war horse, with two front hooves raised in the air, which is very realistic. The horse was carrying a man with his right hand tugging at the reins and his left pointing to the left. However, the strange thing is that this person actually has a dog's head on his body! It turns out that the dog's head we saw just now in the dim light was actually attached to a person!
"Lao Hu, what's the situation? Horses carry people, and people have dog's heads on their shoulders, which is also too ugly. Could it be that this is what kind of immortal is worshiped by the people of Shanhaiguan? The fat man stepped forward and tapped the statue, muttering as he spoke.
"Chief of Staff Yang, have you heard of any allusions to the dog-headed human body in Shanhaiguan?" I turned to Shirley Young and said.
"I don't know why, I always feel like this statue has been mentioned somewhere, but I can't remember it. By the way, Lao Hu, don't you think these people around you are weird? Shirley Young was still standing in the corner, carefully studying the portrait.
