All Chapters_Chapter 64: Bronze Masks
I exhaled, banished some of the thoughts that had come to my mind, and walked after the Yin Soldier Commander. Maybe it's because there are some hidden things involved, and there aren't many people behind the Golden Monkey King, except for the three ghosts who have formed an alliance, that is, me and the Yin Soldier Commander, as well as the monkey clan's mandrill.
In a few moments, the Golden Monkey King led me to a weed-overgrown mountain wall, and poked forward the golden stick in his hand, turning aside some blades of grass, revealing a cave hidden under the weeds.
The entrance of this cave is nearly two meters high, the width is also very large, the edge of the cave is polished very smooth, it does not look like a natural formation, this is probably the cave entrance of the ancient Shu ruins, only because of the reason that it has been flooded by weeds for thousands of years, it has not been rediscovered until today.
We followed the Monkey King into the entrance of this cave, only to find that there is really a cave in this cave, what is surprising is that the cave that should be dark is a bright hall, the top of the cave is inlaid with dense crystals or gemstones, and the decoration in the shrine in the Tsing Yi Qiang Castle is similar, the faint cold light shines down from the top of the cave, there is a unique scene. The space inside was about the size of seven or eight football fields, and there were a number of utensils scattered on the ground, large and small, and there were even a few huge bronze lampposts lying on the ground, which were covered in dust and impurities.
I felt something strange on my body, I don't know why, from the time I entered this cave, the phoenix bird mark on my left shoulder began to heat up slightly, a little like the feeling when I entered the ancient city of Tsing Yi Qiang, but not so strong.
Could it be that this is also related to the mark on my shoulder?
Gu Shu, the woman with the phoenix bird mark, could it be that the naked woman who was dug out of the white coffin was a person from the ancient Shu era? So how could she have survived for thousands of years? Although her state looks a little strange, but after all, she is only a person, and there is always a time when people die, how can she exist for thousands of years against common sense, until Li Daoscar dug her out from under the temple, what is hidden behind all this?
There are countless questions hidden in my heart, but I have a faint feeling that maybe my questions may also be answered in the ruins of the ancient Shu people.
"This is the legendary Shu ruins?" The white-clothed corpse king stretched out a hand and knocked on the wall next to him, and suddenly a cloud of dust scattered, which I don't know was the dust that had accumulated for thousands of years, and almost choked me to tears.
"Bronze masks, copper utensils, these are different from the civilization of the Shu people, and it can basically be determined that this is the site of the Shu people that has been circulating in Qingcheng Mountain." The Golden Monkey King picked up a dusty mask from the ground, and he reached out with a furry hand to wipe the dust off the mask, revealing the true face of the mask.
This is a strange bronze cast mask, because of the old age, the mask is crawling with blue-red patina, this mask has a strange shape, square mouth and big ears, two eyes are extremely bulging, forming two columnar protrusions, and there is a square hole in the middle of the forehead of the mask, the small hole is empty, and there is no inset with any utensils.
The moment I saw this mask, my pupils contracted extremely much, and I hurriedly lowered my head and found a strange bronze mask again on the dusty ruins, I dusted off the dust on the mask, and touched the cold metal mask with my hand, and I had a very strange feeling in my heart, six years ago, the bronze mask that my grandfather took out of the white coffin, except for a phoenix ornament inlaid in the middle of my forehead, the others were similar to the mask in my hand.
That mask really came from the civilization of the ancient Shu people, but why did I also see a statue with the same face as this bronze mask in the shrine of Tsing Yi Qiang Ancient Village? The idol was definitely carved out of the same mold as these bronze masks, with a square mouth and big ears, and extremely bulging eyeballs into columnar shapes, and the idol was simply an enlarged version of the mask.
Ancient Qiang, ancient Shu, this is the two oldest civilizations in Shu, their clothing, architectural styles are very different, it can be said that these are two completely different civilizations, and Tsing Yi Qiang was pacified by the central dynasty at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and ancient Shu was in a much longer ago era, was destroyed by the Qin State that entered Shu in the south at that time, why did these two civilizations appear at the same time such a strange mask? History has been buried by time, and perhaps by understanding the secrets of the bronze mask, the truth of everything can be unlocked.
Bang!
At this moment, the mandrill, who had been following behind the Golden Monkey King, kicked away a few artifacts on the ground, and he shouted: "King, the things in this ancient Shu ruins should be behind that door, what is beautiful in this hall, let's find a way to open that door first, and see if there is really the legendary treasure inside." ”
The Golden Monkey King nodded, took a step and headed deeper into the cave, and the ghosts and others behind them glanced at each other and followed.
We followed behind the Monkey King, and walked inside, the further we went, the narrower the surrounding environment became, the cave was like a funnel-shaped, big on the outside and small on the inside, when we walked in front of a huge door, the surrounding walls were about three or four meters apart, which seemed a little narrow.
"That's it? Legend has it that those ancient Shu people created a treasure that could seize the luck of Shu after the rebellion that swept the entire Shu land, and it is said that it can bring people back from the dead! This treasure was stored by the Shu people in the sacrificial hall in Qingcheng Mountain, and was sacrificed for generations until the Qin people entered Shu, destroyed the last generation of Shu King Du Lu, and set up Shu County. After the destruction of the ancient Shu Kingdom, the sacrificial hall in the Qingcheng Mountain has since lost its record, for thousands of years, there have been people who want to find the treasure left by the ancient Shu Kingdom, but they have lost their traces in the vast Qingcheng Mountain, until now, the treasure left by the ancient Shu people is in this? The white-clothed corpse king's face looked a little obsessed, he stretched out his hand and gently rubbed it on the door in front of him, and a large piece of dust was swept off by him, flying everywhere.
I raised my sleeve to cover my nose and retreated to avoid the scattered dust, these people around me were either unbreathing corpse kings, or disembodied ghosts and monsters with vast powers, they were no different in the face of such a terrible environment.
"Humph! Don't bother, this door was tried by the king last time, it was really sturdy, and I don't know what it was forged, so I can't open it at all, if you want to get the things inside, you better think about how to open this door first. The Golden Monkey King looked at the white-clothed corpse king with an obsessive face, a flash of disdain flashed in his eyes, and he said with a slight mockery.
I took a few steps forward, with the help of the faint cold light emitted by the gems inlaid on the top of the cave, I saw that the whole body of this door was dark gold, and the white-clothed corpse king knocked lightly on the door with his hand, making a heavy metal sound, this door should be made of some kind of metal, but I don't know what kind of metal it is, even a big monster like the golden monkey king can't open it.
"Giggles, open the door, why open the door? Wouldn't it be nice to just go through it! The Minjiang Water Girl, who had been standing silently on the side, let out a burst of oozing laughter, her hair had been draped on both sides, revealing the white paper-like cheeks below, and her face was full of weird smiles at the moment.
And the ghost who was standing next to her was also full of smirks, and there was indescribable mockery in his eyes when he looked at the monkey king.
I first looked at the ghost and the water girl of the Minjiang River with some surprise, and I didn't understand how they could make such an expression at this time, but then I suddenly realized, I remembered that six years ago, the night I first arrived at the Taoist Temple in Qingcheng Mountain, the female ghost in white who came to attack me could not only walk through the wall, but also disappear away, and the two ghosts in front of me were many times stronger than the original female ghost in white.
The Golden Monkey King also instantly understood the meaning of the ghost, he sneered, and looked at the ghost and the water girl of the Minjiang River, as if he was looking at two clowns jumping off the beam.
The ghost was stunned, he saw the expression on the monkey king's face, and a hint of thought appeared on his face, and he did not speak or act again. On the other side, the Minjiang Water Girl ignored the Monkey King, she chuckled, and fluttered towards the dark golden gate. The ghostly figure of the Minjiang Water Girl looked a little erratic in this ghostly light, like a ghost in the night, and in the blink of an eye, she floated to the front of the gate, as if she was acting normally, she took a step and collapsed into the dark golden gate.
Bang!
I saw the Minjiang Water Girl's forehead hit the dark golden gate, and there was a miraculous collision sound, her body was shocked and retreated, in front of this gate, the original characteristics of ghosts that could pass through the entity miraculously failed.
Minjiang Water Girl's face was extremely ugly, and the impact just now caused the black gas on her body to dissipate a lot, and she looked like she had suffered a small injury.
"Humph! Put away your thoughts, what you can think of, can't this king think of it? I've tried everything I should try, even if I find those ghosts and the like, it's the same as the Minjiang Water Girl, I can't get in at all, and it's not just this door, the surrounding mountains seem to have been used by some kind of spell, and the ghosts can't pass through it at all. The Golden Monkey King said coldly, with a hint of mockery in his eyes.
Just when a few people were talking, the white-clothed corpse king on the other side directly smashed his fist into the dark golden gate, and suddenly a huge impact sound continued to echo throughout the cave, especially because the cave was close to the sealed environment, it actually formed an echo, which made my ears buzz.
The white-clothed corpse king was shocked by the force of the backlash from the gate and took a few steps back, his face at this time was also quite ugly, Rao couldn't leave any mark on this dark golden gate with his incorruptible body.
What kind of metal is this door made of? It's so sturdy that it's impossible to start.
"If it can't be opened, this kind of door should have a specific opening method and can't be forcibly broken." The Yin Soldier Commander, who had been standing by and watching silently, suddenly spoke, his tone was still indifferent, and he didn't seem to be as eager for the treasure inside as the others.
The Golden Monkey King laughed and said: "The Shu people of the year have long since died, how can we get this way to open the door, the most direct is to use violence to directly blast it open." Ladies and gentlemen, let's try it together and see if we can force the door open. ”
The ghost and the others nodded, they also knew that if they could not break this door with the strength of a single person, it was as if they gathered everyone's strength to try it, as for how to distribute the treasures inside after breaking the gate, it was ignored by everyone at the moment.
Except for me who was hiding, all the ghosts and demons joined forces, and even the Yin Soldier Commander on the side drew out the long sword he wore at his waist.
Several of them joined forces and bombarded a certain point of the dark golden gate, and suddenly I felt that the whole mountain was shaken, and the terrifying echo continued to resound in the cave, and I was so frightened that I covered my ears and squatted on the ground, not daring to raise my head.
It wasn't until after a while, when the tremor of the mountain straightened up, and the echo gradually dissipated, that I looked up and saw that these ghosts and monsters were all standing aside with ugly faces, and the gate not far away was not damaged in the slightest except for the countless dust that had been shaken down.
Just now, it seemed that the force of the shock coming from the door made everyone feel a little uncomfortable, and no one tried to open the door for a while.
I got up from the ground and walked to the Yin Soldier Master at the door, and the fog on the Yin Soldier Master was shaken away a lot at this moment, revealing a face under the fog......
