Chapter 123: The Strange Statue

This magnificent, and weird and mysterious Taishan underground palace, we finally came to the ultimate entrance, standing here and looking back, the whole space is huge, except for the gems on the dome, almost all of them are that kind of black stone, if it is not for the multicolored starlight of the dome, the huge black eyes full of people, bring people an extremely depressing atmosphere, it can simply suffocate people, make people collapse.

But inside the huge gate in front of us, it was completely different from here, it was a real dark world, there was no light in it, it was like an eternal darkness, only the location of the doorway we were in, the starlight on the dome, a little bit through it, illuminated a small area.

We used a flashlight to shine it, but it only shone a short distance, and we were soon swallowed up in the darkness, and we couldn't reach much distance at all.

"This" I turned my head to look at the two of them, Zhang Ye frowned, took out two cold fireworks, raised his hand and threw them, two cold lights cut through the darkness and fell inside the giant gate, the light became brighter and brighter, and finally illuminated the eternal darkness inside the door.

Although, only a small part of the range.

Through this light, we finally got a glimpse of this dark world, but as far as the eye could see, it was full of ruined buildings, collapsed stone pillars, and huge and desolate archways

This seems to be an abandoned world, and in surprise, we walked into the stone gate, stepping on the huge stone steps under our feet, step by step.

Fortunately, there are only nine steps in this stone step, after we walked in, the flashlight shines everywhere, with the cold fireworks on the ground, I finally see clearly, this is an empty hall, but it is not as exaggerated as the gate of the six roads outside, the height of the dome is only about twenty or thirty meters, the ground is paved with long stone slabs, and there are countless stone pillars on both sides, but most of them have collapsed, and in front of it is a huge archway more than ten meters high, which is carved with many hideous totems, and it looks similar to the two "vain" monsters at the door.

In addition, there are many murals on the stone walls on both sides of the main hall, but they are all very abstract paintings, such as flying fairies and hideous monsters, and there are many ancient graphic symbols that are difficult to understand.

Unfortunately, we are not archaeologists, and although we have figured out the contents of the guò frescoes and analyzed and guessed them, we are unable to decipher the meaning, so we only take a cursory look at them and continue to walk.

After the archway, there is an open space, about the size of two basketball courts, and there are dozens of huge samurai statues more than three meters high standing densely on it, standing solemnly with swords, and the stone swords are a head taller than me.

Looking up, these warrior statues all have fierce faces, angry eyes, protruding muscles, thick and powerful, but looking at the armor style, it does not quite match the traditional Chinese warrior statues.

These warrior statues have only simple armor on their upper bodies, and their arms are even more exposed, unprotected, not even clothed, almost shirtless, with complete leg armor underneath, and strange crowns on their heads, and something like feathers inserted into them.

Let's put it this way, these warrior statues, from a distance, look like a group of underground demons, and we can't help but stop here, because to go forward, we have to pass through these statues.

These statues are all vivid and lifelike, dozens of them are facing us at the same time, and I suddenly have a feeling that these statues are guarding the entrance here, and as long as we go any further, then these dozens of statues will immediately come to life, wielding giant swords taller than people, and splitting us into countless pieces.

He Xiaochen stepped forward, looked at the statues, seemed to suddenly remember something, and said to us: "Look, these statues don't look like the one in my master's photo?" ”

I recalled, but the photo was too blurry at that time, I can't remember it clearly, He Xiaochen hurriedly picked up the camera, opened it and flipped through a few photos, we leaned over to take a look, and saw that the scene in that photo, from the Shinto when I came in, the gate of the six paths, all the way to the statue here, it was completely consistent.

He Xiaochen became excited, flipped through a few more photos, and found that they were some photos similar to the city wall, and then looked back, and several ancient gates, ditches, totem poles, domes, murals, and many turning corridors began to appear.

I looked at it, and suddenly I had an idea, and said, "If the order in which these photos are taken is from the beginning of Shinto to the beginning and all the way forward, then wouldn't it be possible to use it as our map?" As long as we take every step, we follow the order of this photo."

He Xiaochen's eyes lit up: "That's right, in this way, we can restore the path that my master walked here back then, maybe we can find out the truth of the matter." ”

I nodded again and again and said, "Well, not only that, but your master finally managed to go out, although I went to see Hades when I got home, uh, don't stare at me, I mean, according to your master's route, no matter what, you will definitely be able to go out anyway." ”

"You just want to go out, didn't I tell you, I have a three-zhang red rope with me, as long as the people outside pull, we will go out, really, look at what scares you."

"Please, this isn't scary, you said earlier that this is the Netherworld, so what spell might work, but now it looks like it's more like a royal tomb, right? So, it's not certain whether your spell will work or not. ”

He Xiaochen was unconvinced: "It doesn't work? It doesn't work, so how did you get in? ”

She looked aggressive again, I pouted and said, "Then who knows, maybe there is a secret door on the stone wall, you trick us into closing our eyes, and then you open the mechanism, won't this come in?" ”

I said it unintentionally, so I said it casually, but after I said it, my heart moved, and I thought to myself, there won't really be a secret door on the stone wall, right?

I subconsciously looked behind He Xiaochen's buttocks, she always said that the red rope was here, but I couldn't see it, and I now seriously suspect that this girl is fooling us.

"Where are you looking," He Xiaochen leaned over and glared at me.

I shrugged my shoulders to indicate that it was nothing, and Zhang Ye suddenly said next to me: "Don't make trouble, you look at these photos, there seem to be a few things that are not quite right." ”

Our attention is back to the photos, one by one, in fact, the quality of these photos is not very high, completely relying on the flash, but we can see that the person taking the picture is very attentive, the position and angle are better, but further back, a few messy photos began to appear, I can't see what the photo is, it is very blurry, as if the person taking the picture is running.

The photos that Zhang Ye said were not quite right, and these are the ones.

"It looks like this picture is some distance away from here, is it that the master is in danger there?"

He Xiaochen guessed and said, I looked up at the statue in front of me, and said: "Whether it is dangerous or not, we have to go down, I look at it like this, Xiaochen, you hold the camera, stare at the photo, pay attention to the path at any time, don't go wrong, let's hurry up, don't forget, what you told Zhong Wenkai, but there is a time limit, and it is almost twelve o'clock now." ”

I looked at the time, and before I knew it, we had been in for almost an hour, He Xiaochen also put away his smile, nodded, looked around a little nervously, and walked towards the statues.

The statues were arranged in a neat array, dozens of statues formed a phalanx, each about a meter apart, and we walked carefully through the gaps in these gaps, and our hearts were pounding, and in front of these giant-like statues, we were like children who had sneaked in, and we didn't even dare to breathe, as if we were afraid that we would alarm these sleeping statues.

Out of the corner of my eye, I looked at the statue next to me, and as I walked, I suddenly noticed that the giant sword in the hand of one of the statues was crooked to the side, and the palm of the statue showed a virtual grip, which seemed to look a little familiar.

I looked at it carefully, and immediately remembered that the outline of the statue's arm, as well as the palm of the hand, was actually very similar to the half of the stone man's arm that we found in Artemisia Mountain yesterday.

I hurriedly stopped them and went to see them together, He Xiaochen also saw it, and said in surprise: "Could it be that there is such an identical statue in the cave where Artemisia Mountain collapsed?" ”

I frowned, and was about to step forward to take a closer look, but as soon as I turned around, I saw a black shadow flashing behind a stone statue not far from us.

"Who's there?!" I was startled for a moment, and blurted out, Zhang Ye's figure moved, and he had already chased after him, so I hurriedly turned on the flashlight and ran over there with He Xiaochen.

But when we chased there, it was already empty, Zhang Ye kept scanning with a flashlight, vigilantly observing the surroundings, He Xiaochen said angrily: "What are you shouting about, are you wrong, you are dazzled, except for the three of us, where are there people?" ”

"No, I really saw it, the man seemed to be snooping on us from behind the statue, and as soon as I found it, he ran away." I said with great certainty that I had seen a dark shadow flash at that moment, and I would not be mistaken.

But there was no one here, and there was no sound, and only the sound of our breathing could be heard.

I frowned, and when the man ran away, he didn't seem to make a sound, not even footsteps.

Could it be that it is not a human being, but a yin spirit wandering here?

I looked up at the statues around me, my heart moved, and I whispered: "You say, those Yin soldiers, will they be them?"

Before I finished speaking, He Xiaochen suddenly looked behind me and his face changed greatly, I was stunned, and I was about to turn back, when I suddenly heard a strange cry behind me, and a gust of yin wind rushed to the back of my head
