Chapter 58: Ode to Witches

——————————————————————————————————————

"Dragon Gu." Bu Jin said abruptly beside me.

"What?" I turned my head, and for a moment I didn't hear what she was saying.

Bu Jin turned his head, looked at me, and said word by word, "Dragon Gu." ”

Hearing this, I didn't show too much surprise, because no matter what kind of Gu those things were, all in all, this had already proved my reasoning correct, those so-called bronze coffins were actually not for the burial of the dead, but purely for raising Gu vessels.

I didn't pay attention to Bu Jin, because at this moment, I was still deeply attracted by those stone murals, and I continued to walk in the direction of the murals.

What happened next can be said to be an ungrateful bloody drama. At this time, in fact, there are already some inferences and speculations in my psychology, that is, these mountain people may be the so-called ancestors of the ancient Dian Kingdom.

Before coming here, Duan Yuwen kept showing off his knowledge of history all the way, although he is now dead, but at this time, I suddenly miss him a little, because if he can be by my side at this time, he must have read a lot more information from these stone murals than I do. And I, at best, only read the story component.

What happened next was that after the ancestors of the ancient Dian kingdom had repelled the foreign enemy, they began to become dissatisfied with the leader from the distant mountains, and tried to find an opportunity to break away from his or her control.

At this time, the historical process of the ancient Dian Kingdom has been developing rapidly, and it was only at this time that I suddenly discovered that the leader from the distant mountains had not grown old, according to the story described in the stone murals, it is estimated that at least fifty or sixty years have passed, but the leader and the six retinues have not grown old.

At this time, the ancestors of the ancient Dian Kingdom began to divide, some of them began to try to get rid of the control of the chief, while the other part of the people were willing to follow the visitors from the distant mountains forever.

However, these are just the careful thoughts of those ancestors. Because it was obvious that this visitor from afar was absolutely extraordinary, and his or her first impression to me was that he or she was a person who was out of his or her time, and to put it mildly, he or she had a reason to be worshipped as a god at that time.

And in the whole story, there is also a place that makes no sense - what is the motive of the distant mountain visitor to do these things, where does he (she) come from, and why does he or she want to help these mountain people rise?

I always felt that the person seemed to be here by chance in order to complete some kind of task, which is why these murals only intercepted this part of his (her) life, in other words, he (she) was just a passer-by in the ancient Dian Kingdom.

Sure enough, after the ancestors of the ancient Dian Kingdom began to divide into two factions, the visitor from the distant mountains chose to leave by himself, of course, this is still just a guess of mine, as for the basis of the speculation, that is, I can no longer see the figure of the leader in the stone murals behind, only his six retinues stayed here, and soon after, the six of them also left here with a group of pious ancestors of the ancient Dian Kingdom.

This is the end of the stone carving mural, although I really want to know what happened to Lu Dao later, but the mural has already gone a circle, and there is no other clue.

Although there is a feeling of unfinished, this kind of thing is not something I can control.

I turned my head to look at Bu Jin and Teng Yi, and was about to ask their opinions, but when I turned around, I felt a palpitation, so frightened that I almost jumped into the air, only to see that the heads of the hundred or so salted duck egg helmets actually changed their expressions!

When the salted duck egg helmet that I was led by just now, I could already see very clearly that it was indeed a helmet, and there was nothing in the helmet, but now, the helmet had changed.

In the beginning, there were only three "O" shaped round holes in the helmet and two thin nostrils, but now, the helmet has no nostrils, and the eye holes and mouth have become small faces. The position of the eyes narrowed into a thin curved line, like a crescent moon, and the mouth was completely open, grinning to a very exaggerated position.

These things stood straight behind us, surrounded by a heap, their shoulders shrugged up and down, not making a sound, but laughing.

Such a scene was extremely weird, I hurriedly grabbed Teng Yi and said, "What are these things for?" ”

"Where do I know," Teng Yi said, "I didn't think these things were good things from the beginning, didn't you tell me to lay down my weapons, but now it's good." ”

As soon as I heard this, I felt a little wrong in my heart, and replied, "What do you mean by that?" Why, according to what I said, aren't we unharmed now? ”

"It didn't hurt anything, but they laughed like that, and I felt a little hairy." Teng Yi said.

I think the same as him, although those things don't do anything out of the ordinary, but it's not a good thing to have a bunch of non-human things standing in front of you and giggling.

I thought a little about Ryazan in my heart, and said that if this guy is here, I still have a little bottom in my heart, and I don't know how he is now, will he be put down by that tattooed man Ah Song? They should still be in the root cave now, will they encounter any danger?

I was thinking about others, when Bu Jin suddenly stepped forward, stood in front of the group of things, and whispered something in Miao language.

After I heard this, I hurriedly asked Teng Yi what Bu Jin was talking about.

Teng Yi scratched his head, seemed to be puzzled, and said, "She said to take us over." ”

"Take the three of us with those things?" I asked, a little incredulous.

Teng Yi nodded, and then added, saying, "The sentence she just said is still in ancient Miao language." ”

I don't know why, but at this time, those guys have already begun to walk towards another corridor behind the stone chamber under the leadership of the leader, Bu Jin followed closely behind it, and Teng Yi and I naturally didn't dare to slack off, and ran two steps to follow.

Since entering this underground palace, I have a preconceived fear of the Yongdao, and I always feel that as soon as I enter the stone-built Yongdao, I feel that there will be some danger, but this road is extremely smooth and safe, those guys walk in front of me, although there are many of them, but there is no sound when they walk, there is only the footsteps of me, Bu Jin and Teng Yi in the Yongdao.

This passage was very clean, the stone walls made of bluestone slabs were smooth and neat, this time, there were no bronze mirrors, no black water tans, and no tree roots hanging down overhead, I looked closely at the walls, and I didn't see anything similar to totem runes, so my vigilance involuntarily relaxed.

This way, the walking time is not short, I am a little worried about Ryazan, and I don't know if there is anything wrong with this guy in Lu Dao, whether he will not be able to find us for a while.

There is an indescribable feeling of depression when walking with these things, not because they don't speak or other reasons, it is a very real sense of depression, that feeling is like the mood of a prisoner who has been sentenced to hundreds of years in prison, although he is not directly pronounced his death sentence, but there is always a feeling of despair in my heart, I don't know why I feel like this, but it is so strong that my mood is gradually lowering.

About five minutes later, to my surprise, there was a light in front of the corridor!

In a place where such birds don't, there will be light, could it be that there is a group of people at the end of there?

But as we walked in, it dawned on me that there weren't any people here, it was a huge stone chamber, the size of a football field. In the center of the chamber is a huge bronze drum – yes, exactly like the one depicted in the murals in the stone chamber when we came.

The huge bronze drum was placed in the center of the stone chamber, and I hardly needed a flashlight or torch here, because although it was simple, the golden light made it look magnificent. I glanced around and saw that the bronze drum was placed in the center of the entire stone chamber. And this huge stone chamber does not have a single entrance, it is surrounded by a six-pointed star with a total of six entrances. Seeing this, I was shocked, and said in my heart, could these six entrances be connected to the six corridors on the side of the bronze mirror? That means that no matter which path I choose there, I'll end up in this huge stone chamber!

At each of the six entrances there is a lantern at each end, and the walls of the stone chamber are covered with candles, and at each of the entrances are a huge stone pillar carved with various patterns and totems, each of which is wrapped around a huge long serpent - perhaps a snake - and at the base of the pillar there is something like a lizard.

A flash of lightning flashed in my head - wasn't that the monster depicted on the stone murals!

In the direction I was facing, in front of the bronze drum, there were two huge bronze coffins.

In this case, no matter how low the IQ is, people can guess the reason, and even Teng Yi's dead eyes said to me: "What these two bronze coffins contain, shouldn't it be those two monsters." ”

"Quite possibly." I responded.

At this time, I saw that those salted duck egg helmets began to walk in front of the various permanent lamps in the room one by one, filling the lamp with lamp oil. After a while, countless salted duck egg helmet monsters poured out of the other five entrances, and they all went to take care of the lantern one by one.

I couldn't help but ask Bu Jin and said, "Bu Jin, shouldn't they have been guarding this place?" ”

Bu Jin turned his head to look at me, his eyes were as clear as the summer sky, and they didn't turn blood-red. She didn't speak, just nodded at me.

Teng Yi said: "Damn, there are too many of these guys, if something really happens in a while, we will definitely die." ”

I replied impatiently: "My God, you just put your heart down, you see that there are so many of them, if we were to die, we would have done it a long time ago, and we still need to leave it until now?" ”

As I spoke, I saw the salted duck egg helmets of a thousand people squatting around the huge brass drums, of course, maybe kneeling, but because they had no legs, I didn't know what their posture meant.

Out of the group came six guys who were supposed to be the leaders, and at this time, I noticed that the expressions of those guys had changed again—they had changed their faces into mourning, like murderers screaming, except that they seemed to be really sad.

I didn't know what they were going to do, but I saw the six guys come up to us and seemed to ask us to go forward.
