Chapter 217: Roots
The black roots of the tree wrapped around the passage like blood vessels, and the air was filled with the strange smell of black copper taro, smelling a little hungry but intuition told a few people that they should not continue to move forward, they should turn around and leave as fast as possible, otherwise they don't know what will happen.
Professor Guan bit Lao Wu's ear in public, and the brothers were dumbfounded, and before they could make a move, they saw Lao Wu looking up at the surrounding cave walls and posing with a demented appearance.
Hu Dawei dodged back, and shouted at that time: "Hey! Dodge! That old man has poison in his mouth, and he bites Lao Wu stupidly! ”
Lao Wu was shocked by the scene in front of him at this time, he couldn't say half a word, just now it was still neat and hard cave wall, how could it become wrapped in big thick tree roots all over his body in a blink of an eye? Isn't it hallucinating again at this time? Just as he thought of hearing Hu Da Bao speak, he turned his head to look over, Hu Da Bao, Da Niu and Xiao Qi were crowded in the cave and looked at him, and the black tree roots that spread and intersected under their feet around them were also scattered, most of those roots were much thicker than their arms, like many water pipes covering the cave wall, which looked very weird.
"What's going on?" Lao Wu thought it was very incredible, and he couldn't understand it so he went directly to ask Professor Guan.
Unexpectedly, Professor Guan slowly slid on the ground by the roots of those trees, tilting his head and panting hard, it seemed that it would not last long.
Professor Guan stretched out his hand to touch the roots of the trees, squinted his eyes and said, "I also woke up after being hit on the head by something just now, it turns out that this is a tunnel composed of tree roots, which is really amazing enough, I have been fighting for it for most of my life and I haven't even figured out a little bit of skin." Are you really going to go? As soon as he finished speaking, he coughed violently, sniffed at the roots of the trees around him, and said, "This smells strange." Smell too much and get confused. ”
Seeing this, Lao Wu hurriedly walked over, held Professor Guan's arm and said, "Are you okay?" ”
"It seems that it can still hold up for a while!" Professor Kwan replied weakly.
When Lao Wu heard that he could still live for a while. hurriedly asked: "Lao Guan, you hold on!" Hurry up and tell me why they want to go down, the fourth? What happened when you first came in? And then how did you get out? ”
Professor Guan made him shake a little confused, gasped and said, "Okay, okay, don't shake, I'll tell you." Hearing Professor Guan say this, the brothers above also came up the slope, surrounded Professor Guan by the cave wall to listen to him, and from time to time used the corner of his eye to look at the surrounding movements, for fear of drilling something out of the shadows.
Then this matter has to start with the fourth child and Professor Guan from the beginning of the rope down.
The professors didn't talk nonsense. They did fall on the bottom of the dungeon because they fell on the mound, but fortunately, the red soil below was relatively soft, and the fall was not too serious, but the feeling of being suddenly plunged into darkness still scared the five people.
As their eyes gradually adjusted to the light, they were speechless to find the blue spots on the dome and the huge murals connected to them. Professor Guan jumped up even more excitedly, and almost didn't crook his foot when he landed.
There were about seventeen of those frescoes, covering an area of more than sixty or seventy square meters. And it is not corroded by the oxygen underground, and the color is still so bright under the blue light. The fourth child followed Professor Guan and walked slowly with the mural, while Professor Guan looked at everything around him with excited eyes, and the kind of fanaticism that the fourth child and their grave-digging coolies could not understand.
The mural tells a story. From the birth of a child, he gradually grew up to become a tribal leader named Yuyu, and later conquered many small tribes in the vicinity. The power of the territory is also getting bigger and bigger, and he is named a god.
Let's go according to our old saying. In the previous life of the immortals, they were basically people, but not everyone can be a god. Even if you are the head of a clan, the king of a country, no matter how you are above thousands of people or how noble you are, in short, the Tao is not enough, you can't be a god or become an immortal, and this thing can't be forced, and if you can't force it, it will invite disaster.
This god is a typical example of ancient times, after being canonized by everyone, he often dreams in the middle of the night, and always feels that there is a huge face in the sky looking at him. Eventually, one night, a huge face was formed in the starry sky, looking down on the tiny beings like gods, and everyone who saw it knelt down in worship, even the high god. This scene is the one at the entrance of the human cave, where everyone and the Holy Spirit are kneeling down to worship the gods, and the black shadow on the stone platform in the middle is the god. But the mural is only half seen, and as you continue to walk back, it is hunting, war, and death, and the style of painting suddenly turns dark and depressing, which is very uncomfortable to see.
When Professor Guan was researching, only the fourth child was still following him, and the other three couldn't walk away because of the humanoid hole they had just discovered, so they all lay on the side and looked inside, all guessing what was inside, whether it was valuable?
Professor Guan looked at the mural intently, the depressed and gloomy mural brought a very strong sense of spiritual impact, and the kind of fighting and death were very intuitively expressed, making people feel like they were in the scene. As he continued walking, Professor Kwan found one of the most important murals, and when he saw it, his whole body was trembling, and his hair stood on end. The mural tells the story of a group of people who find a huge pyramidal building somewhere, enter it, and go deep underground to discover a huge underground palace.
More than 2,700 years ago, it was almost impossible for the ancients to build such a large building according to the topography, and as a result, this mural directly overturned all the previous theories of Professor Guan, indicating that this underground palace with a huge dome was actually discovered by the Judhurs, not built by them, they were just the discoverers or inheritors of a group of ancient monuments, so the question arises, when was this underground palace built? What kind of people built it?
Due to the large number of archaeological excavations in recent years, some things that are more out of time are often unearthed in the ruins of some ancient civilizations. That is to say, polishing and exquisite utensils were found in the remains of farming and burning civilizations, but it was too early at that time, and this kind of polishing utensils technology should not be available until hundreds or thousands later, and all of them are called super times.
In ancient times, this kind of time and space travel is impossible, which is also incomprehensible in modern times. Then there is only one explanation left for the artifacts of the ancient times, that is, the remnants of earlier civilizations. At this time, this huge underground palace is a super-era building, and it will hide a lot of secrets, and there may be other incredible things.
Professor Guan is particularly fascinated by this, and he is here for the ruins of the Juyu civilization, as mentioned earlier, Professor Guan has lung cancer, and he is afraid of death because he has the secret of immortality of an ancient civilization in his hands, so when Professor Xu came to him, he revealed few clues that matched what Professor Guan had mastered, and he knew that the secret of Yuyu was in this monument in Hengshan, and he might not die.
With this mentality, I entered the dungeon and carefully investigated everything and details, for fear of missing any clues. Through the events described in the mural, Professor Kwan cleared his mind and understood that immortality is related to sacrifice, which is also called "endless suffering for eternal life!" ”
Because Professor Guan deciphered some words, he integrated all the information he had in a short time, used the four of them as sacrifices, exchanged their pain for his own lives, and climbed into the human-shaped cave engraved with eternal life in turn.
Then the situation in the cave was the same as that of Lao Wu and them just now, Professor Guan had a real hallucination, in which he obtained eternal life, but fell into the darkness and woke up, and found that he was still crawling in the cave, but he more or less knew some secrets of that brother. Just after they entered the spacious cave, it was the fourth child who first noticed that there was a small mural with a long strip on the roof of the cave, and Professor Guan understood what had just happened after seeing the mural for the first time, and was about to find a way to deceive them and let them continue to move forward, but the underground palace collapsed, and the cave they were in began to shake.
Professor Guan was afraid, carrying the only windproof lamp and turning around and burrowing into the human-shaped hole, and regardless of the life or death of the fourth, he escaped from the narrow hole, and it happened that at this time, a large amount of sand and gravel seeped into the gaps around the dome like a leak, and in an instant, a high mound of earth was piled up around, completely sealing the murals and human-shaped holes, and also sealing the small holes leading to the ground, trapping Professor Guan alone in the huge, empty, and dark underground palace, until Lao Wu and them came in. Professor Guan, who was already desperate, once again ignited the idea of living, and he planned to do it again, but unfortunately this time it was known by Lao Wu Quan.
Lao Wu then understood, it turned out that they were all affected by the black copper taro sandalwood, and they all had different hallucinations, but he himself was the real hallucination, but he still kept a hand, and he wanted to take Professor Guan down with him, anyway, he was going to die, and he went down to see what was also considered dedicated.
Smelling the fragrance of the ripe potatoes around him, Hu Da's stomach began to drum rhythmically, and he didn't listen to Lao Wu and Professor Guan muttering something, anyway, it didn't seem to have much to do with him, and he planned to sneak in to get some dry food to add to his stomach.
Lao Wu knew that he had a lot to do, so when Hu Dafang got up and turned his back to him, he stretched out his hand and twisted his big ass fiercely. Hu Da Arm, who was in pain this time, almost didn't squeeze out two tears, jumped away on tiptoe, and held the surrounding cave walls with his hands and was just about to turn around to scold Lao Wu, he was also dumbfounded, how could there be any cave walls, what he was holding in his hands were black tree roots that were staggered and spread, and the fragrance of the potato came from the roots.
