Chapter 142: Underground Wonderland
Wen Mo did not shy away from it, "Yes, it has fallen off from him for thousands of years." Updates are fast and ad-free. ”
Immediately I felt very nauseous, I retched twice and almost threw up, but in order to survive, I could only endure it.
Suddenly, a strange cry came, and we turned our heads to see King Shan Huan waving a pair of wings behind his back and pounced on us, although he could not fly, but still much faster.
Wenmo pushed me, "You guys go quickly!" I have a way to deal with him! ”
"But," I was about to say something, but Wen Mo interrupted me with a wave of his hand, "I won't say anything else, you guys go quickly, go all the way from here, find a passage and leave as soon as possible!" ”
I handed him the gun in my hand, but Wenmo shook his head, "I won't use this thing, you don't have to worry about me!" Come on! ”
We had no choice but to nod, Wen Mo raised his hand and threw out a cold light and went straight to King Shan Huan, and a steel needle was nailed straight into King Shan Huan's shoulder. Taking advantage of this opportunity, we ran quickly along the stone wall, and the bronze bird above us kept circling, as if to see us off again.
As we progressed, the tomb road on both sides narrowed, and at the end, the stone walls on both sides had merged together, and I now knew that the tomb was fan-shaped. But in this case, there is no road ahead!
We couldn't help but stop, but when we reached the corner between the two stone walls, we realized that there was a hole in the ground. When I shone it with a flashlight, I found that there was a series of stone steps below the entrance of the cave, and I didn't know where it led.
I recalled the direction we ran over, and there didn't seem to be any fork in the road, and they had no other way out, so they must have entered here! So we had no other choice. Before entering the cave, I turned around and glanced in the direction I had just been, wondering how Wenmo was doing now. I mistakenly thought that when Wen Mo left by himself, he was still scolding him for being unrighteous, so what about us now, throwing him here by himself, is it considered unrighteous!
I have the heart to go to the rescue, but after the few of us go back, we really can't do anything except make trouble for Wenmo, and my heart is extremely entangled at this time!
Shi Tao patted me on the shoulder, "According to Wenmo's words, we can't help him, and I don't think he is a reckless person!" ”
It's not the first time I've heard this, and I suddenly feel very sorry for Wenmo. I remembered what Tang Zhendong said, you may drag Wenmo to death! In order not to drag him down, can we just leave quickly? We who are powerless can only think like this at this time, so as to convince ourselves with this.
The three of us walked into the underground passage in turn, the stone steps spiraled down in a spiral, the steps were very steep, and the surroundings were very dark, we walked carefully, once we lost our footing and rolled down in such a place, we would not die or be crippled!
On the stone pillars surrounded by steps, I can faintly see some traces of the frescoes, but compared to the ones above, I don't know why the quality of the frescoes here is so poorly preserved.
I reached up and touched it, and found that the mural fell off as soon as I touched it. Although I have been to the tomb very few times, basically no experience, but I happened to have seen this situation before, that is, when I was in the ancient tomb of the island, there are some murals in the tomb, also showing such a state, which shows that the water vapor here is very large, I looked at the bottom of the stone steps, I guess there must be a rich water source below, maybe it is the river of the dark river!
We went down the stone steps, and from time to time I went back to look at the murals on the stone wall next to me, and gradually I noticed that the contents of these murals were very strange and seemed to be repeated. The above is quite simple.
The murals of the pre-Qin period are sometimes difficult to understand, because their lines and colors are very simple, and I know very little about the murals of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, and I didn't have much contact with them when I was in school, so when I look at these murals, most of them rely on reasoning and blindness.
Looking at the content of these murals, although it is very unclear, based on the staccato patterns and outlines, I can probably guess what is depicted on the picture, and the mural looks like a person going from birth to death. From birth, to growing up, to aging, and finally to death. It's just some simple patterns, as we go down the stone steps, over and over again, over and over again, I don't know why we painted such patterns here, does it mean that this place has been separated from the main body of the mausoleum, so the painters who participated in the construction at the beginning have begun to cut corners?
We walked like this for a long time, and I kept thinking about it in my head, and all of a sudden I realized a very strange problem!
The so-called inverted bucket is nothing more than for profit. What are the benefits of an inverted bucket? It's nothing more than a spiritual weapon! But after this trip, we are about to leave the royal tomb now, and we haven't seen any spiritual weapons that can be called "pressing the hall"! Except for the Lantern Festival, everyone else doesn't seem to be very interested in the artifact, so this road is full of dangers and weirdness, after being willing to risk death to experience all this, what is everyone's purpose?
My purpose is very simple, first of all, to find the second uncle. And then it was to accompany Kong Xue, if there was anything else, it was that it was difficult to ride a tiger and there was no turning back.
But when it came to Kong Xue's purpose, I couldn't help but turn my head to look at her, and Kong Xue was walking behind me with her head bowed at this time, silent, as if she was thoughtful. On the surface, Kong Xue just wants to recover his father's relics and explore what it means for his father to study the horse snake statue all his life. But I could sense that she had other purposes, probably something to do with that old legend!
And the purpose of the others, including Tang Zhidong, Second Uncle, and Wen Mo, their purpose seems to be more complicated! But what is it, I have no way of knowing?
I have been thinking about it dizzy, but still have no clue, I looked at the pattern on the stone wall in a daze I don't know how many times it has been repeated, mechanically walking on the stone steps, I don't know how long I walked, I have been turned by the spiraling stone steps a little want to vomit.
Suddenly, I heard the sound of water, and I couldn't help but feel a shock in my heart, I knew we had reached the bottom. I was in no hurry to leave the steps, because I was very curious to see what pattern the fresco next to the steps would end up in after countless repetitions.
I stood on the last stone staircase, turned my head to look carefully at the pattern on the stone wall, I shone it with a flashlight, and I saw that on the last pattern of the mural, a man was depicted, with slender limbs and body, and his face was a blank circle. I was shocked, it was obvious that this was that kind of faceless monster! What does that mean? Why end with this? I just can't understand it.
I couldn't guess the puzzle of thousands of years ago, so I had to go down the stone steps, and there was a passage in front of it. The moment the three of us crossed the passage, we all froze. On the other side of the passage is a very large space, from which the sound of running water comes from. The water system here is very rich, and the water flows out from the upper part of the stone wall on the right, forming a small waterfall, and after accumulating into a small pool, the water overflows again to form a small river. After passing through the entire space, the river flows through the stone wall on the other side, forming several small puddles in between.
In this space, the rock formation structure is special, the whole is divided into two parts, and in the middle of the upper layer, there is a very large stone, which makes people feel strange that this stone has a faint green light! In addition, there are many puddles here, like mirrors, and the green light emitted by the stones is constantly reflected, making the whole space very bright, and we can see everything here without the help of a flashlight.
This peculiar scene suddenly made me realize Tao Yuanming's description, which was extremely narrow at the beginning, and only then did he understand people. After dozens of steps, it suddenly became clear. What I feel now is that my eyes suddenly light up, and I am shocked by this strange scene.
We walked slowly into it and looked around in amazement. Due to the change in the light in the refraction, the surrounding stone walls show very magnificent colors, like a fairyland. I was feeling the magic of nature, and suddenly I saw a few people standing not far in front of us, a guy from the Tang family was supporting a person, this person was Tang Chengdong, and behind them was Zhou Cheng who was carrying the Lantern Festival. At this time, Lantern Xiao was lying on Zhou Cheng's back unconscious.
I finally understood why Lantern Festival would be treacherous again and throw me there as bait without a sound. It turned out that he couldn't help himself at all. It is estimated that it was because Tang Zhidong was afraid that the Lantern Festival would disrupt his plans, so he was stunned, it seems that Tang Zhidong attacked us, it should also be temporary, this old bastard!
At this time, the men were looking up at the waterhole above.
I quietly clenched the gun in my hand, Shi Tao next to me took out a short knife, we looked at each other and nodded, this time the road is narrow, and we can't dodge. This encounter is likely to be a battle to the death. Kill people in such a place, no one will know! The people of the Tang family will definitely kill the killer without any scruples, and we can only deal with it with all our might!
I patted Kong Xue, "You hide here and wait for us!" ”
Kong Xue shook her head vigorously, "No, I'll go with you!" ”
I smiled, "You must listen to me, just like we obeyed Wenmo just now, you must live, if we have three long and two short, someone has to avenge us!" ”
I could see the resistance in Kong Xue's eyes, and I couldn't help but say that I pushed her behind a rock. Shi Tao and I leaned over cautiously.
It's a pity that we are not Wenmo, just walked to the position not far from Tang Zhendong and them, as soon as Zhou Cheng turned around, he found our whereabouts, and shouted, "What person!" Your guy next to him immediately turned around, and then picked up his gun, and I quickly raised it!
