Chapter 183: The Stone House in the Abyss
Crystal polishing was originally a meticulous work, but it can be seen everywhere here, but I was a little surprised, but this also roughly illustrates two points, first, those ancestors have mastered the process of crystal polishing very proficiently. Second, the amount of crystal reserves here is really amazing!
But I don't have the leisure to pay attention to these things now, and it's useless to pay attention to them. I stood at the edge of the depression and looked inside, and I saw that there was a building a little bit inside the depression area 3. Its shape is exactly the same as the hall we just saw, but the size is different from what we imagined in our hearts, it is only three to one-fifth the size of the general hall, and it feels like the kind of miniature landscape we usually see.
I now understand that this was originally just such a small stone hall with beautiful construction, but when we looked at it from above, it seemed to be suspended in mid-air, and with some light and shadow effects, we unconsciously imagined it as a magnificent hall. I felt like I was being fooled for a moment, but this was not entirely due to such optical illusions, but also to a kind of thought suggestion in our hearts that was accustomed to thinking. But now that I'm here, I'm going to have to go in and have a look.
I mentally calculated the length of the rope and the height I had descended. I felt that the rope was approaching the maximum distance here, so I made a bold move. I untied the rope from my waist, found a stone to hold down one end of the rope, and walked towards the shrunken version of the main hall.
As I approached the temple, I realized that its exterior walls were actually mottled, and many of the stone materials had begun to become crumbling. But fortunately, although the appearance is a little worse, the charm is still there! Not only did I imagine in my mind that if it was really tall and majestic, it would also be a stunning building!
Suddenly, a strange idea appeared in my mind, the ancient ancestors built such a stone temple in the shape of a large hall here, and used crystals to create a mirage of light and shadow, they spent so much effort, is it implying something? I was taken aback by this idea of my own, and my reason told me that this idea was a bit unrealistic, could it be that it implied that there was really such a great temple suspended in the sky? If I say this idea of mine, other people will think I'm crazy!
I stood in front of the temple gate, hesitated for a moment before raising the flashlight, and then touched my body again, only to realize that I was really defenseless at this time! The strong and short knives on my body were taken away by Mr. Ruan Liang and Mr. Hong, and I whispered to all the eighteen generations of their ancestors, but I had no choice but to turn around and pick up a stone from the ground, hold it in my hand, and walk into the temple gate.
Due to the space here, the interior of this stone temple is also not spacious. I stood inside, the top of which was less than half a meter away from the top of my head, which invisibly brought me a sense of oppression.
I took a few steps forward and suddenly stepped on some broken stones. I shone it with a flashlight, and it looked like a large stone had broken into many smaller pieces. I looked around at the ground again, and although the dust was thick, the gravel was rare. I wondered where the rocks under my feet came from.
After thinking about it for a while, I guessed that it must have fallen from the top, so I raised my head and looked up, but I didn't expect that as soon as I moved the flashlight up, I saw a dark shadow suddenly appear above my head.
Unprepared, I was immediately startled, and quickly crouched down, and moved a few steps to the side with my hands and feet, while holding the stone in my hand tightly. But there seemed to be no movement on the top of my head, and as soon as my heart moved, I raised my head again and looked up, and this time I saw clearly that there was a strange statue carved into the top of the stone here. It has bat-like wings and a bird-like body, but its head is missing. I saw obvious signs of fracture at the place of the statue's neck. Maybe it was caused by the breaking of the stone over time, and the original head of the statue fell to the ground and shattered, and what I just stepped on should be it.
I let out a sigh of relief and stood up. When I stood up straight, the top of my head was about to touch the broken neck of the statue, but fortunately, the statue's hanging head had fallen to the ground, otherwise I would have hit it if I didn't pay attention when I entered the door, and I was afraid that it would have been knocked off even if it didn't fall!
As I thought about it, I walked forward, and suddenly I stopped, and I remembered what I had just thought, and I immediately broke out in a cold sweat. Something must have knocked off the statue's head? Did someone come before I arrived?
But then I shook my head, how could it be! Looking back at the difficulties and obstacles along our way, even if someone took the lead before, it is impossible not to leave a trace!
Unless...... I was immediately scared by my own thoughts, and my scalp tingled! I quickly shook my head vigorously and gave myself a mouthful, muttering, "Impossible! Jump the track! Don't scare yourself!! "While giving myself courage, I continued to walk inside.
Soon a relatively tall stone statue appeared in front of me, saying that it was relatively tall because of the limited space here, although the stone statue had its feet on the ground and the roof above its head, but in terms of size, it was not very outstanding.
This stone statue is very familiar to me, and it is a six-eyed statue of Ali Merk. It's just that unlike the ones I've seen before, four of the six eyes instigated by Ali Merk here are closed, and only the top two void eyes are open. This situation is completely different from what we've seen before, the statues outside are either blinded or have only four eyes! Because according to legend, Ali Merck's instigated eyes can see the yin and yang of life and death, as well as the past and future, and once opened, it will bring disaster. I don't understand why this statue is doing this.
Circumventing the stone statue in a clearing, I also saw a stone chair in the deepest place. There seems to be a statue on top of the stone chair. Since there is still some distance from there, I can't see too clearly for the time being.
I raised my flashlight and looked around, but I didn't see anything out of the ordinary, so I walked over cautiously. Halfway through, I suddenly noticed a lot of raised rocks on the ground. I kicked it with my foot, but the stone didn't move, apparently fixed to the ground.
At first glance, these stones are laid out on the ground, and at first glance they look a little disorganized, but when I look closely, I feel that there seems to be some kind of pattern in them, and this pattern seems to be related to Feng Shui. So I tried to remember my little bit of stargazing and pulse fixing, hoping to see some doorways through it.
This stargazing and pulse fixing technique is not only a secret technique of Faqiu, but also a secret of our Zhuo family, but when the Zhuo family arrives in my generation, no one understands it anymore, only I have learned a little bit from my second uncle.
I looked at the raised rocks on the ground, combined with my poor memories of stargazing, and it took me a while to conclude that it was an ancient astrological map on the ground. In fact, when this sentence is spoken, when it is heard by peers who don't know the truth, they will definitely laugh off their big teeth, how can it be an astrological chart set on the ground! But here, this phenomenon is very reasonable, because it is still within the mutual transformation of heaven and earth.
My ability, in the face of this astrological chart, can reach this level at most. As for the meaning, I can't see it even if I was killed. After looking at the astrological charts on the ground, I still raised my flashlight and looked upwards curiously, wondering what the roof would be if the astrological charts were uncharacteristically set on the floor.
And when I moved the flashlight over it, I was immediately shocked, because what was on the roof, I was all too familiar, it was the symbol that resembled a turtle shell, but this time it was an enlarged version. I'm sure that this symbol, which appears many times, must represent something extraordinary, but I know very little about it for so long. Now that it appears in the counterpoint of an ancient astrological chart, does it have something to do with the earth?
I was thinking about it when suddenly, a slight "click" interrupted all my thoughts. I immediately held my breath and nervously observed the movement around me.
At this time, there was a dead silence all around, only the sound of my own "thump" heartbeat, which was a little noisy and upset. After waiting for a while, I didn't hear any other sounds, so I just wanted to put my mind at ease. Suddenly, there was another "click" sound around me! This time it was very clear, I immediately felt my scalp tingle, and my back was cold.
I looked in the direction where the sound came from, and found that the sound seemed to come from the deepest part of the stone chair, could it be that there was something wrong with the statue on the stone chair?
After these experiences, my other skills have not grown much, but I am much more courageous than before, if I had encountered this situation before, I would not have been scared to pee my pants, and I would have to turn around and run.
But this time, I didn't want to run away, because I haven't found the things I put here, and I can't just go back so easily, after all, the second uncle is still in the hands of Mr. Hong and Ruan Liang.
I stared intently at the stone chair and the strange statue on top of it, and walked slowly over. As I walked, I suddenly saw the statue on the stone chair clearly, and the back of my neck was cold. I also finally know why I always find it weird because it doesn't have a head at all!
