readx;
Sure enough, as Lu Haikong said, my eyes deceived me. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Because it was not a secret room at all, with the light of the cold fireworks, illuminating the scene in the stone door, we saw clearly, there was an empty hall inside, the long bluestone steps stretched down, and there were countless huge pillars inside, supporting a towering dome, and then looking forward, it was dark.
The cold fireworks fell on the top of the steps, it didn't seem to reach the bottom at all, and the range of this illumination was limited after all, it couldn't shine farther, and the hall seemed to be huge, and the cold fireworks only shone a little bit of the doorway, I don't know how deep it was.
Lu Haikong showed a hint of excitement on his face, and said in a deep voice: "There is indeed a secret here, it seems that we stumbled by mistake, but we went on the right track." ”
After saying that, he walked down the steps, and Ansari and I glanced at each other, and followed closely behind, in the empty hall, there was a faint echo of the wind, as if the echo of a long time, and I was apprehensive, and walked forward step by step, a full ninety-nine steps, before stepping on the floor of this hall.
I suddenly had a very strange feeling, the steps here are actually ninety-nine, I remember that the ladder to heaven in the Black Water Demon Cave is ninety-nine, but there is an upward sky, but here it is downward, looking back, the entrance is almost invisible.
We threw out a few more cold fireworks and glanced around with our flashlights, but we couldn't help but gasp in unison. This entire hall is unimaginably vast, whether it is cold fireworks or flashlight, there is no end to it, and we are almost thirty or forty meters high from the entrance when we came, if you calculate it, it is a full ten stories high!
In other words, the height of this huge space, which is the height of a ten-story building!
This boundless darkness almost made me feel a sense of suffocation that I couldn't breathe, and my heart was pounding, and Lu Haikong threw a few cold fireworks into the surroundings one after another, which made the range expand a little, but I still couldn't see the surrounding situation clearly, but dozens of meters ahead, a huge black shadow faintly appeared.
We watched intently for a while, and found that the black shadow would not move, so we relaxed and slowly approached, always on the lookout for unexpected situations that might arise around us at any time.
Lu Haikong was exploring the way in front, I was in the middle, and the Tiangang Sword had been drawn out in my hand, and after Ansali was broken, the two short swords were also in hand, and the three of them cautiously walked forward for a while, and found that the black shadow in front of me was actually just a tall stone platform.
But this stone platform is also about ten meters long, and there are steps on both sides leading to it, which looks like it was built with stones improvised, and it is a little rough and simple, and I don't know what it is used for.
"This seems to be another altar, judging from this humble degree, it should have been built by the Huns at that time, but this underground city is also too big, are we already under the Wolf Juxu Mountain at this time?"
"It should be like this, otherwise there would be no such huge space in the desert, let's go up and check it out."
Ansari and Lu Haikong said and walked forward, but we had just walked to a place more than ten meters away from the altar when we suddenly stopped, and Lu Haikong waved his hand and said, "No, there seems to be a situation ahead." ”
Is there a situation? I was about to use a flashlight to shine it, but Ansari stopped me, and he said in a deep voice: "Slow down, be careful, have you forgotten the lessons of those golden calves?" ”
I was stunned, but I saw Ansari shine diagonally upwards with the flashlight, and that part of the afterglow shone on the bottom side of the altar, although I was not very clear, but I was surprised to see that on both sides of the altar, there were rows of figures standing on both sides of the altar.
Ansari immediately withdrew the flashlight, and I lowered my voice in surprise, "What is that, the stone statue?" ”
Ansari shook his head: "I'm afraid it's not a stone statue, if I'm not wrong just now, it should be a golden statue, made of gold." ”
Lu Haikong also said: "Yes, I also saw it, the flashlight light has reflected a golden light just now, but be careful, these things may not be able to see the light, just like those golden bulls, they will be resurrected when they see the light." ”
My heart sank: "If you say that, then isn't there a dense crowd of golden statue guards everywhere under this altar, and there is no light, how can we go over and investigate?" ”
"It doesn't matter, everyone be careful, come with me." As he spoke, Lu Haikong clasped the flashlight upside down in his palm, only let out the light from his fingers, and walked forward cautiously.
I can't help but think of the last time I was in the Black Water Demon Cave, Ansari was the same, but he used his clothes to block the flashlight, and it seems that I still lack experience compared to them.
But then, as expected, there was no problem, and we walked all the way to the bottom of the altar, only two or three meters away from the figures, and in the dim light, I saw that these figures were very vivid, about the same size as the people, and the same as the golden bulls, and these figures seemed to be made entirely of gold.
But when I think that those golden bulls are real cows, I shudder a little, these portraits can't all be real corpses, right?
In any case, none of us dared to shine the light on these "people", and walked up the steps on both sides of the altar, only to find that even on the steps there were many statues standing, from top to bottom, inside and out, tightly surrounding the altar.
I wondered more and more in my heart, what is the importance of this altar, and why so many people need to protect it?
There were also twenty or thirty steps on the altar, and the three of us cautiously walked to the altar with trepidation, surrounded by the guards of the statues, and at first sight, there were two huge figures with a height of three meters standing in the middle of the altar.
Upon closer inspection, the two figures were holding huge stone swords pointing at a huge stone platform in the middle of the altar, almost two meters high.
We stopped in front of the stone platform, looked at each other, each other's eyes were full of surprise and doubt, this scene gave people the feeling of being too shocking, what was on the stone platform, why two statues, holding swords opposite each other?
"I'm afraid this is an ancient sacrificial ritual, I guess, there should be something terrible on the stone platform, these two statues, it seems to be guards, but in fact they should be to guard that thing." Ansari spoke.
"If that's the case, could it be that the 'people' down there and around are also guarding this thing, not guarding it?" I guessed.
"Very likely, there are steps on both sides of this stone platform, you are on guard below, I will go up and check it."
Lu Haikong was about to go up, but Ansari stopped him and said: "Don't act rashly, if you want to use guards of this scale, it must be a terrible thing, it's better "
As he spoke, he glanced at me, but he stopped talking, and I immediately guessed what he meant, and said with a wry smile: "You just say it directly, I understand, I am a magic weapon to ward off evil spirits, and this kind of place should naturally be my go." ”
I remembered the giant dome in the Black Water Demon Cave, at that time, no one could go except me, at this time, this strange altar and stone platform, although no one asked me to do anything, but I knew very well in my heart that in this adventure, I was actually acting as a fucking magic weapon.
Lu Haikong hesitated, patted me on the shoulder, I bared my teeth at him, turned around and walked towards the stone platform, but my face involuntarily showed a wry smile.
The stone platform was more than a head higher than mine, with several steps on either side, almost a meter high, and I walked up carefully, avoiding the sword in the hand of the huge figure, and strode up the steps.
One, two, three, four, five
Five steps, but I walked as if it had been a year, and with every step I took, my heart sank a little, because I had no idea what I was about to face.
Finally, on the fifth step, I stopped, learned to land in the sea and air, turned the flashlight upside down, and looked at the stone platform with only a slight gap.
In the faint light, I saw a person lying on the stone platform.
The Forbidden Land of the Celestial Tomb is a lost city
