Chapter 150: The Hidden Capital Tubo
I shook my head, "I'm fine, second uncle, listen to me, it's really dangerous in there, there's a terrible bug ......"
Before I finished speaking, the second uncle waved his hand at me, "Okay, okay, we all know what you said." ”
I couldn't help but be stunned, "Then you guys were ...... just now"
Yuan An smiled beside him, "Your second uncle was looking for you just now, and he was very worried about your safety!" ”
I couldn't help but feel warm in my heart, "Second uncle, don't worry, my luck is good, it's okay!" ”
The second uncle nodded, and I immediately asked, "Second uncle, you say you already know that kind of bug?" You've already seen it? ”
The second uncle sighed, "It's not just that I've seen it, there are two guys who have fallen on the road and have died inside!" ”
Hearing what the second uncle said, my heart suddenly sank, and then I asked, "Then will we be in danger here?" ”
Yuan An shook his head slightly, "No, I found that this kind of insect doesn't seem to leave those pools." "Hearing Yuan An say this, I was a little relieved.
I followed the second uncle and them to the edge of a sacrificial pool, and under the light of the flashlight, I saw a person at the bottom of the pool, but his whole body had collapsed, like a shriveled inflatable doll.
I only took one look, and I couldn't bear to take a second look, and tilted my head to one side. I can't help but feel a little sad in my heart, saying that those who fight will not have a good end, but this end seems to be a little too miserable.
At this time, suddenly a man pointed to the corpse inside and shouted, "Look, there is blood coming out." ”
I looked up again, and sure enough, I saw some blood flowing down the corpse, down the smooth bottom of the pool, into the black hole in the middle. The collection of blood, I think this is probably the real use of the sacrificial pool.
Everyone watched this scene in horror, this time I didn't avoid it, just stared blankly at the red blood like a blood line, gurgling into the black hole, I felt that this blood line not only took away the life of this guy, but also the strength and courage in my heart, I felt that the inside of my body became empty. I just want to hide now, I don't care about anything, I don't ask anything.
The scene fell silent in an instant, and everyone fell silent, I don't know if it was a moment of silence. Suddenly, Wenmo's voice rang out, "No, that's not blood!" ”
I looked at Wenmo strangely, then turned my head again to look at the blood stream at the bottom of the pool, I poked my head forward, and only then did I realize that it was indeed not a blood stream, it was clearly a long string of bright red bugs. Maybe it's because I've seen it before, I'm a little quicker than anyone else.
The Lantern Festival next to him also saw it at once, and blurted out, "Damn!" It's those little bugs, but how did they turn red! ”
The second uncle opened his mouth and said: "It should be because the body is full of flesh and blood!" ”
Looking at so many blood-like little insects, my whole body tingled, and I couldn't help but take a few steps back, away from the edge of this sacrificial pool.
Yuan An waved his hand lightly, "Okay, if you enter the line of inverted fighting, you will have this psychological preparation, going to the ground and fighting upside down, which can not only make you rich, but also make you die." Everyone has a life, let's go! I don't think we're far from the core! ”
The matter has come to this point, and there is no way back, and everyone has shaken up their spirits and began to move on. However, when passing by the sacrificial pools that looked gloomy, everyone subconsciously stayed away.
As I walked, I was thinking that these strange insects in the sacrificial pool were also one of the tools to participate in the sacrifice, and the ancient ancestors used the characteristics of these strange insects to suck the flesh and blood of the sacrifice, and then transmitted them through the deep hole under the sacrificial pool, but I don't know where these deep holes eventually lead.
There are many more such sacrificial pools along the way, but what caught my attention was not only these, but also the statues on the stone wall behind the sacrificial pools. In addition to the admiration for the craftsmanship of the craftsmen, there is also one thing that makes me very curious, that is, in all the statues I have seen, no two of them are similar, and the most amazing thing for me is that even if the two statues are similar in appearance, even the look in their eyes can make you see the difference at once. I suddenly felt something strange about these statues, but I couldn't tell what they were.
After walking forward for more than ten minutes, we finally saw the exit of this passage appear in front, and the outside of the passage was pitch black, Yuan An said, we are not far from the core of here, I don't know if it is inside.
When we walked to the exit of the passage, we were surprised to find that although there was no door here, there was a huge stone on the side of the exit. The side of the stone facing us was very smooth, and there were carvings of these things on it.
We got closer, shone our flashlight on it, and looked at it carefully, and found a strange carving on top of the town stone. On it was carved a monster with the head of a tiger and a cow, and there was a wide vertical stripe in the center of its eyebrows, which seemed to be the monster's third eye on closer inspection. In addition to this, it also has a pair of horns on its head.
I couldn't figure out what the provenance of such a shape was. Lantern Xiao shone a flashlight and said, "I'll go, what is the monster engraved on this?" ”
The second uncle opened his mouth and said: "This is not a monster, the image on this is a legendary ancient god called Tubo." Legend has it that he was in charge of the underworld. ”
"And what's the implication of putting him here?" Lantern Xiao asked curiously.
Yuan An frowned and said, "It seems that our original judgment was correct, I'm afraid this place is really related to the tomb." Putting Tubo, who is in charge of the underworld, here is nothing more than to show that behind this exit is the underworld, and the underworld, of course, will not be for the living! ”
Speaking of this, Yuan An let out a long sigh, "I turned around and returned to my old business!" While speaking, Yuan An took the lead and walked in, Tian Laosi waved his hand at the group of Yuan family men, "Quick, keep up!" ”
Watching the people of the Yuan family walk out of the passage, Lantern Xiao and I couldn't help but look at the second uncle, "Second uncle, what about us?" ”
The second uncle smiled, "Of course you have to go in!" But everyone should be careful, they have already come here, and further on, in addition to the danger of the mechanism, there is also a special note, it is likely that it is not us and the Yuan family. ”
"I know!" Lantern Xiao snorted coldly, "And that stupid X Tang Jian'an!" ”
Actually, I thought that the second uncle was referring to him, but the second uncle shook his head, "Tang Jian'an is nothing to be afraid of, he is nothing more than a stunned young man, the person we have to watch out for is that Mr. Hong!" ”
Second uncle didn't mention it, I forgot about that black mask, yes, that's right, this person is indeed the most mysterious person.
Lantern Xiao heard the second uncle talk about Mr. Hong, because he was not there at the time, so I didn't know who we were talking about, "Mr. Hong? Who is it? ”
"A dangerous man!" As he spoke, the second uncle also walked through the exit of the passage.
Outside the passage, the space is large again, and there is a thick layer of soft stuff on the ground, which looks like dirt, but feels like the product of rotting wood.
After taking a few steps forward, I suddenly noticed that something was not right, and I looked left and right and found that Wenmo was not following us, my heart moved, and my heart said, could it be that this guy slipped away by himself again? I hurriedly looked back and found that he was still standing there, not moving!
I didn't rush to call him, but looked at him. Wenmo seemed to be in a daze, this situation made me very curious, it was the first time I had seen him in such a state of distraction. I always felt that Wenmo was like an efficient machine, but I didn't think that one day the "machine" would slip away. I don't know what he's thinking, is there something special about this?
I saw that Wenmo was just standing in place, and there was no substantive movement, I thought I guessed wrong, maybe he was thinking, so he shouted: "Hey, boss, what do you want?" Let's go! ”
As soon as I called him, Wenmo seemed to come back to his senses and nodded. It turned out that he was really distracted, which made me almost tempted to ask him what he was thinking, and the words were already on my lips, but I still thought about it for a while, and then swallowed it back. Because, I know, this kind of question can't be answered.
Wenmo walked over and followed us on. After walking a few steps, I saw that the people of the Yuan family were standing in front, as if they were discussing something.
The second uncle walked over quickly, patted Yuan An's shoulder, and just wanted to speak, but when he looked forward, he was stunned all of a sudden before the words came out.
We walked up to them and looked at them, all stunned.
Because we saw a dense forest ahead! I rubbed my eyes in disbelief and looked down at my feet. It's hard to say that this is really land, but I don't think it's possible, and in order to support the growth of so many trees, there must be enough soil. How could there be such a thick layer of soil in the depths of the mountain!
I reached out and removed the covering from my feet, and after a few clicks, the hard patches of rock were revealed.
Could it be that I was wrong, I looked up at the bushes not far in front of me, and found that many trees were tangled in branches, from the crossing, what is it if it is not a tree?!
Everyone raised their flashlights, looked at them, and found that there really did not seem to be any danger, so they stepped forward.
But when we walked to the front of the forest and really saw its true face, we felt even more shock!
What we see in front of us is not accurate to say that it is a tree, but it is also inaccurate to say that it is not a tree. Because what looks like a tree is actually a lot of thick roots! I really can't imagine how those ancient ancestors came to this place to form such a spectacle, the key is how they did it?
(PS: On the occasion of the Spring Festival, I wish you all a happy new year, good health, a happy family, and all the best!) Thank you for your support of "Nine Dragons Heavenly Coffin"!! )
