Chapter 4 Please enter the urn

Now, the gun is no longer useful. Wu Xie put away his gun and grabbed the ball of "hair" and tried to tear it off his face. But he immediately noticed that the four sharp claws of the "fox face" had mercilessly cut into the flesh of his forehead and jaw like hooks. This "fox face" actually has no consciousness of awe and love for his handsome face, which is so angry with everyone and gods!

said that on the ground, "people see people love, flowers see flowers bloom", and underground "corpses see corpses, coffins see coffins open", the face of the little third master of the Wu family has the same strong appeal in the yin and yang worlds, "hairball" brother, how much do you mean by just facing my face? Is it self-shame or envy, jealousy, and hatred?

Wu Xie didn't dare to pull hard, so he changed the cold steel knife and made a gesture, and he was afraid that the "fox face" would tear off his entire face because of the pain and violence. Eventually, he tried to light a lighter, wondering if he could use the fire to force the "fox face" away. But Wu Xie still remembers the experience in Yinchuan, and the fire almost burned him bald. Now that he is doing this again, Wu Xie is still quite under pressure. Just as he hesitated, a feeling of numbness suddenly came from the corner of his mouth.

Wu Xie immediately became alert: Damn, this thing has poison in its claws!

I can't care about anything that doesn't have hair at this moment, it's important to save my life. Wu Xie immediately made a move, grabbed a lock of "hair" and burned it!

- Master, I'm bald at most, "hairball" you're going to run naked, see who of us is afraid of whom!

As soon as the flames approached, the "hair" on his face really shrank, but he was obviously unwilling to let go like this.

Wu Xie grabbed a large handful of "hair" again, and was about to light it, but the "fox face" finally couldn't stand it, pushed Wu Xie's face away, kicked Wu Xie on the shoulder, and flew away.

The light returned to his eyes, and Wu Xie took out a few mouthfuls of hair from his mouth, and looked around, but there was no trace of the "fox face" around. And the one burned to death in the fire is gone!

The face didn't know if it was seriously injured, Wu Xie hurriedly turned out the first aid kit and took out alcohol to scrub the scratches on his face. The wound didn't bleed much, and the paralysis didn't continue to spread after the alcohol, but I don't know if there will be any sequelae.

If you don't hit someone in the face, it's too fucking unkind to use the disfigurement trick when this "fox face" comes up.

Wu Xie turned on the flashlight and continued to search ahead, saying that this revenge will not be avenged for me, and the word "Wu" was written backwards!

Walking back to the place where the pottery jar was found, Wu Xie saw a shadow standing on the top of a pottery jar.

When he got closer to illuminate the place, he saw a "fox-faced" crouching on top of a clay jar looking at him condescendingly, with an unusually resentful look in its blue-gray eyes.

The "hair" of this "fox face" was burned to the ground, and there was still green smoke on its body. It turned out to be the "fox face" who was ambushed, and he was not dead yet, waiting here to avenge this arrow.

As the so-called enemies meet, they are very red-eyed. Wu Xie showed out the cold steel knife, and said in his heart that if the hair burned out, this thing would not be able to fly, and he was not afraid that it would still be able to run into the sky.

Wu Xie waited for the thing to jump down and find him desperately. Unexpectedly, the "fox face" slowly retreated, and suddenly disappeared into a clay pot.

What tricks are you going to play? Is this time to capture the old man or to invite you into the urn?

Wu Xie looked up and down at this giant pottery jar more than one person high, and his curiosity was aroused again.

In the stone chamber at the entrance of the "underground labyrinth", Wu Xie and the others saw some stone murals depicting "sacrificial scenes". What puzzled Wu Xie at that time was that none of the murals showed any objects to be sacrificed, but only showed those humans and animals who entered this space, as if they were traveling in the digestive system of a giant beast, and the number became smaller and smaller, and finally all disappeared out of thin air.

At first, Wu Xie just thought that this was a deliberate trick by the builder of the underground palace in order to scare off the invaders, but now it seems that the stomach of the giant beast is a maze, and the disappeared sacrifice should refer to all living creatures that enter here, and in the end they were completely devoured by the pervasive desert beetles, and there were no bones left.

Does this mean that the frescoes in the dungeon are not unfounded imagination, but on the contrary, the content depicted in them is completely realistic?

Then the problem starts to get a little weird.

Wu Xie and the fat man saw many huge images in the space where the "Sleeping Gate" was located. The images also show the theme of "sacrifice". However, unlike before, for the first time, the frescoes here show the objects of worship. Not only that, but these objects of worship appear to be extremely abstract and distorted lines, filling almost the entire picture, with no gaps or borders in sight. If these patterns are realistic, what exactly do they portray? Where is that stuff now?

Is Wu Xie invisible, or is it still "sleeping"?

What is "sleeping" in the dark underground space behind this "Sleeping Gate"?

Wu Xie walked up to the giant jar and found that most of the lid of the clay jar was sealed.

Wu Xie couldn't help but have a bold guess: Could it be that those worshippers who had never shown up so far were sealed in these huge clay jars in front of them?

Hundreds of huge black clay jars, standing silently underground, are an extraordinary thing in themselves. If the builders here weren't crazy, there must have been a reason why these incredible behemoths had to be here.

The clay jar that "Fox Face" got into had a staggered gap between the lid and the cylinder, which seemed to have been opened by someone. Or was something once coming out of it?

Wu Xie tried to peek into the gap, but the cylinder block was too high, and the gap was too narrow, and he couldn't see anything after changing a few angles.

At this point, Wu Xie couldn't ignore this huge puzzle here, and then continued to move forward as if nothing happened. If he wanted to figure out what was in the giant vat, Wu Xie found that the only way was to climb to the top of the clay vat.

Wu Xie grabbed the edge of a sealed giant vat next to him with both hands and tried it. Although after so many years of experience, his skills are no longer the same as when he first debuted as a child, but he undoubtedly owes a little bit of fire to deal with such a height with his bare hands.

The whole tunnel was empty, and not a single brick could be found. In desperation, Wu Xie had to use his backpack to cushion his feet, and he barely climbed to the top of the clay jar. He pushed hard the unusually heavy lid on the top of the pot, shining a flashlight into it.

I saw that the inside of the clay jar was very large, and it was estimated that there were five or six people who could put it in it. But for some unknown reason, the pot is now only half-full, with only half a jar of asphalt-like viscous liquid, glowing black. There seemed to be something in the liquid, revealing a vague outline, and something like hair floating around.

Could it be that the "fox face" attracted itself to it just to make him look at this?

Wu Xie wanted to figure out what was soaked in the tank, but he didn't have the right tools at hand. Just as he leaned in to see more clearly, something bit his calf from behind.

Wu Xie stumbled in pain, and then was hit by that thing fiercely, and he was planted into the clay jar in front of him!

Fortunately, Wu Xie was quick enough, and his hands grabbed the edge of the cylinder in time, so that he didn't land on the ground with his big head down. I don't know where the flashlight fell, Wu Xie stood up embarrassedly from the waist-deep "asphalt", and sure enough, he saw that there were two points of blue light on the edge of the original cylinder, looking down at him coldly.

If it weren't for his unreasonable luck, Wu Xie would have been killed by his curiosity countless times in his life.

But then again, did the "hairball" brother read psychology or do you know how to look at physiognomy? How do you think that I will definitely be fooled?

Well, anyway, you did it!

A minute ago, he was desperate to figure out what was in the tank, but now that he was in it, Wu Xie didn't want to stay for even a second. The "fox face" has been guarding the mouth of the tank, and it seems that it is impossible to return from the "original way".

All the equipment was outside, and now Wu Xie only had a cold steel knife in hand.

He tried to find his way to the wall in the dark, and suddenly felt something under the "water" stumbling on his legs. Wu Xie reached underneath and felt two sticks side by side in the viscous liquid, and there seemed to be something large attached to the sticks. Wu Xie tried to pull it out completely, but the thing below only moved a little distance because of the resistance of the liquid, and then fell back to the bottom of the tank.

Due to Wu Xie's pulling, the end of the stick made a soft "ge" sound, and it seemed that something was broken. Wu Xie groped upwards for the fracture, first as if he had touched some kind of joint, and then some slender and tight bones.

The shape of this skeleton is no stranger to Wu Xie, it is a human hand.

Wu Xie's hand was holding another person's hand bone at this time!

As soon as he realized what was in his hand, Wu Xie threw the human hand out like an electric shock. But one fact can't be changed in any way: a corpse is in an unknown solution beneath him!

This discovery simply made Wu Xie collapse instantly, and he used all his strength to stumble to a tank wall, struggling to climb out. But the blue-gray eyes instantly swooped down on the edge of the tank, and at the same time, from above came the eerie and eerie laughter of the "fox face".
