Chapter 70: Eighteen Layers of Hell
I don't know what passerby A and Xiaolongnu are thinking at the moment, all I am thinking about now is that, before the effect of the medicine has passed, hurry up and find the stuffy oil bottle, meet with the fat man, leave this damn place early, hurry up to the hospital, although I have seen a lot of life and death in the past two years, it does not mean that I want to die.
While thinking about it, the movements of his subordinates were faster, and the German beauty exaggerated and praised: "Wu, you are a strong man, amazing." I looked at her smile, couldn't help but twitch the corners of my mouth, mother, when is this, you are still laughing, just now I had a conversation with passer-by, did you not hear or understand, the level of Chinese is not so bad, right?
"Well, you're welcome, I'm born with strength." After casually fooling the German beauty, I stopped talking and buried myself in cleaning the paraffin wax from the walls.
Paraffin wax is a relatively rare thing, its processing method has long been lost, and there are some paraffin waxes made of lime powder and oil wax in modern times, but it is also a false name. The density and hardness of real paraffin wax are quite high, it is said that Hunan once unearthed a figurine paraffin, the body inside is wrapped in authentic paraffin, to use a chainsaw to get open, archaeologists in order to observe the degree of decay of the corpse inside, the paraffin cut open, the result is that the corpse turned out to be lifelike, but leaving the paraffin corpse, due to oxidation, soon showed signs of decay.
Although the effect of paraffin wax is very good, but the ancient emperors and generals, no one wants to be wrapped in wax like a cocoon after death, so this burial method is rare, and the paraffin figurines unearthed twice have the identity of the tomb owner.
The walls of this stone chamber are all sealed with paraffin, and there must be something extremely obscure hidden underneath, and there may be a way out.
With the efforts of the three of them, soon, the three walls were exposed, under the illumination of the light, the cleaned up wall was a piece of blue gray, and there was no trace of it, but the flashlight was turned off, the entire stone wall was surrounded by fluorescence, and the characters on it, in the vision of radioactive light, were like walking into a cartoon, the picture was static, but the characters seemed to come to life.
I was overwhelmed by what I saw, the stone chamber was not very large and the frescoes were not very large, but it was definitely the most shocking scene I had ever seen.
After the shock, I began to look at the murals on both sides, the one on the right, in fact, should be the first of all the murals, the people in it have smiles on their faces, building houses, sometimes the sun is painted in the sky, sometimes there is cold snow, these people never stop, and finally, a magnificent city-state was born, and there was a large river meandering through the periphery of the city-state, and there were washing women by the river, and there were mountains in the distance, and there were countless cattle and sheep in the flat places.
This is a real historical picture, almost reproducing thousands of years ago, the life style of the people of the Western Regions, the geographical environment and landscapes depicted in it, will definitely make today's historians stunned, because so far, people's cognition, all think that the ancient Western Regions belong to the plain area, few mountains and little water, but now, this concept has been completely subverted by the murals in front of them.
The mountains, lakes, and meadows depicted on it have made this place a paradise on earth.
Immediately afterwards, the city was built, the first ruler of Yabuda held a grand celebration, the mighty defenders of the city, entered from the newly built city gate, riding a tall horse, judging from the picture, the first ruler of Yabuda, in a slender position, perhaps to highlight the difference of the ruler, his height can almost be described as terrifying, slender and tall, and he remembered the long centipede, so it seems that the ruler of Yabuda is simply not a person, how can anyone grow like this.
Next, the second mural that is connected to it is the one I saw earlier, the mural about war, and the third wall, the one on the left, is painted in a very strange way, the whole wall is painted with black fuel, and it is clear that the painter wants to express an extremely dark environment.
There is no sun, no moon, no stars or anything like that, not even grasslands, no mountains, just a dark nothingness.
This strange mural immediately captured the attention of the three of us, because on the top of the mural, there are a few words, which are very similar to the font on the Zansheng Sutra, which should be ghost Japanese.
I turned my head and asked the German beauty, she is also Dr. Zhang's little sister, I don't know if I can understand it.
"What's written on this?"
The German beauty shook her head and said, "I don't understand." ”
Just when I was disappointed, passer-by A suddenly and slowly spit out a sentence: "Eighteen floors." ”
What the?
I didn't react for a while, and I was about to ask, but I found that passer-by A seemed to be very concerned about the content of this mural, and I couldn't help but study it without moving, and then I suddenly realized that this mural full of darkness shows the underground, and this is an underground picture.
The blurred lines of the figures in the painting show the scene of working in the dim light, and some of them, with ropes on their bodies, climb on the dark mountain wall, as if they are carving something. Some of them were carrying wood and walking in the darkness with great difficulty on their faces.
When the mural was nearing the end, the picture suddenly turned, a hurricane blew in the sky, and outside the city of Yabuda, a black oppressive army was gathered, it seemed that a powerful force was about to attack the city, but there was no one in the city.
My heart jumped, and I vaguely felt that a huge secret was in front of me, so I suppressed the pounding in my heart and hurried to read the next content.
The people of Jabda did not disappear, they gathered outside the temple square, and in the center sat a man with loose hair, dancing with his hands, as if to say something, and then the mechanism behind the temple opened, and everyone, like a yin spirit, walked silently to the passage below.
In the last mural, the old man held a box in his hand, about half a meter long, and he held it in his hand with a solemn expression, in an extremely dark place, and finally, he put the things in a coffin.
Then, the coffin was lifted, and all the people of Yabuda began to go into darkness, all the way down, as if they were walking on a spiral ladder, and more and more down, and every distance they walked, there was a text, the end of the mural, and so everything became dark.
What does that mean? What are these murals trying to express?
Who was the army besieging the city-state of Yabuda?
Where did the people of Jabda go with that huge coffin?
Why is there no revelation at the end of the mural? Did they leave here with the coffin?
My mind was in a mess, and a lot of questions followed, what was that long box that looked like it was in a coffin? Why do I feel familiar? Damn, where have I ever seen this? Why am I not impressed at all?
I subconsciously went to see the reaction of passerby A, he just suddenly came out with a sentence, what did he say eighteen floors, did he understand what was expressed in the mural? I was about to ask him, but I found that his hand was clenched into a fist, and the line of his jaw twitched faintly, as if he was extremely excited, but he was trying to restrain himself.
In an instant, my heart jumped, could it be...... What passerby A is looking for, is it the thing in the coffin?
And what about stuffy oil bottles? Is he looking for something like that again? I've been in Yabuda for so long, and I haven't seen any information about him at all, except for the head snake, and at this moment I can't help but wonder if my guess is wrong, if the stuffy oil bottle has really been here, or even ...... Could that human-headed snake be just like the bloody corpse here, just an illusion between me and the fat man?
It was probably because my brain was too chaotic, the blood in my body was boiling, and I had a faint urge to be violent, and I wanted to fight or something, but at this time, passer-by A suddenly said: "This is the map of the imperial mausoleum in Yabuda." ”
Imperial Tombs?
I was stunned, and went to see the mural again, combined with the words of passers-by, this mural with dark tones was instantly seen by me a lot of doorways. First of all, the place on the mural seems to be underground, and secondly, the people in it look very sad, as if some important person has died, which can make the people of a country show such an expression, either the country is ruined and forgotten, or their beloved ruler has passed away.
In ancient times, in some small countries, after the death of a monarch or ruler, the whole people had to mourn and mourn, and if someone did not do so, smiled or behaved disrespectfully, they were even punished with death.
And all the people in the mural are not only sad, but all of them are working, some are holding chisels, some are holding torches, some are holding ropes, and some are carrying heavy things on their backs, as if they are building a large project.
When I thought about the coffin at the end, I immediately understood, wasn't this just building a mausoleum? What is a mausoleum built by the whole country if it is not an imperial mausoleum? So, in that coffin, in addition to the long box, is there also the body of the ruler of Yabuda?
So, where is the imperial tomb built in the mural located? Will passerby A go? Was his purpose the thing in the coffin?
I made up my mind and tried to trick Person A's words: "Where is this imperial tomb?" "Normally, he should be as unaware as I am, but if he gives any other answer, it proves that I guessed right.
But passer-by A surprised me very much, he did not answer my question, but suddenly pointed to the last mural, and said: "The words written on this mean that they are one layer of Jiaduo and two layers of Songda, each layer represents a person's name, and the last name is not written, but ......"
Passerby A didn't finish speaking, but I reflected it, and suddenly I got goosebumps, because if I counted it like this, the last layer was seventeen, and the coffin was carried to the eighteenth floor, and that layer was dark, and then, no one came out of it, and the mausoleum in the mural was dug down layer by layer, and the last ruler was sent to the eighteenth floor.
Don't...... These people went to hell?
I instantly remembered the contents of the ghost corpse jade coffin, which had recorded that the soldiers of Yabuda were all undead soldiers like ghosts, and as soon as the horn sounded, the soldiers were resurrected.
Could it be that these soldiers have finally returned to hell?
