Chapter 25: The Eyes on the Stone Wall

When I looked closer, I realized that there were some murals painted on the wall, only because of the age, the color of the murals had almost completely fallen off, and only some lines were still faintly recognizable.

This time, we have made special preparations for the light source, and spent a lot of money to buy several professional LED light source pointers with ultra-long battery life, each of which can last more than 100 hours continuously under the condition of reducing the lumens.

I turned on the flashlight in my hand, looked at the mural on the stone wall, and recognized it for a while before I suddenly saw that this was the terrible scene when the altar was sacrificed and the beasts were sacrificed!

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is terrible, although the murals at that time have a single color and simple lines, but it does not prevent its clear expression and appeal.

The picture shows the altar under our feet, and some people are standing here, and there are strips tied to the altar, I don't know if it is a rope or an iron chain. At the front of the altar, a man dressed in black was making some kind of movement.

Underneath the altar was the churning river, and many people threw all sorts of things into the water, and it looked like some food and other offerings were the ones we had just seen on the shallows.

And in the midst of the churning waters, a very large animal was in the water, opening its bloody mouth to enjoy these sacrifices, and from the shape drawn on it, we deduced that it should be a snake.

However, seeing this, I have a question, is the snake in the picture the one that died on the shallows below? Unconsciously, I spoke my mind.

Lantern Xiao also came over at this time, looked at it carefully and said: "I think it should be, you look at the size and thickness of the snake in the water in the picture, compared with these people in the painting above, its thickness is about the same as a person, you are looking at these paintings, at least more than a thousand years ago, a thousand years to grow into the ...... below" said, Lantern Xiao pointed to the snake bones in the shallows below, "It should be about the same when it grows so big." ”

I shook my head, "Maybe it's long enough for it to grow into something bigger." ”

"The bigger one?" Lantern Xiao was a little puzzled, "What are you talking about?" ”

I hadn't answered him yet, and Wen Mo next to me spoke, "No, the bigger one is actually here!" ”

As soon as he said that, I immediately walked over to the front of the mural, which is the part of the picture near the river.

At first, standing in front of the stone wall, I didn't find anything. Just when I was puzzled, Wenmo stretched out his hand and gestured a few times on the stone wall, I looked along the place where he was drawing, and sure enough, I vaguely saw some pale black lines, I squinted my eyes and looked at it carefully, and my heart suddenly tightened.

I noticed that I hadn't noticed the lines just now, not only because they had become inconspicuous, but mainly because I hadn't thought of the location of the mural at all, and that there was such a huge guy painted on it. I looked up along the black lines, and judging by the size of this thing, it should be something like a snake.

It's a pity that this part of the mural is so detached that I can't see the whole picture. The murals of that period were mostly black, red and white. So at the very top of these blurred lines, I saw two dots circled in red, and those were the eyes of this snake!

Judging by the proportions of the fresco, the snake is unimaginably large. I don't think it's any smaller than the one we saw in Qilian Mountain.

If the smaller snake in the mural is the one that has died in the shallows outside, then where has the giant snake gone? Did you go to Qilian Mountain? How can it be? A snake of this size, if it goes outside like a train, will cause a sensation, unless it ...... I couldn't help but look out at the dark cavern where the river poured in.

At this moment, Lantern Xiao said: "Okay, don't look at it!" The painting on it is similar to what we thought, and it doesn't make much sense to look at it, and you can't pick it off and take it away! ”

In the eyes of Lantern Festival, everything that can be taken away is a good artifact, and everything that cannot be taken away is worthless.

I asked Lantern Xiao, "What's the situation with that passage above, and if it doesn't get through any further?" ”

Lantern Xiao blinked and thought for a moment, "I don't know!" Didn't pay attention! It seems to work, but I can't figure it out, and I can't see it clearly when it's black! ”

I couldn't help but hold my forehead, "Come, Lantern Festival, let's do a quiz question, and ask you what is the difference between this sentence and farting?" ”

Lantern Xiao pointed at me with the middle finger. I looked ahead, "How are we going to go?" This passage was discovered by accident just now, so Anado can't have walked here, and I think we should go back to the original path. ”

Lantern Xiao seemed to be more interested here, "This passage is specially used for sacrifices, maybe it is a shortcut." ”

I immediately retorted, "What a shortcut, what are we doing with a shortcut to find someone now!" ”

Lantern Xiao and I were arguing, and suddenly Wen Mo said, "Don't make a sound, listen!" ”

Lantern Xiao and I immediately shut up, held our breath, and listened carefully according to what Wenmo said. Lantern Xiao listened for a while and shook his head blankly. But as I listened closely, I soon felt a crisp crashing sound, like a wind chime, "jingle bell".

I also looked at them a little strangely: "What is this sound?" ”

Lantern Xiao waved his hand, "Don't ask me, I didn't hear anything!" ”

Wen Mo wiped the short knife in his hand, got up and walked in the direction of the sound, "Just look at it and know it, maybe there will be an unexpected gain!" ”

Lantern Xiao and I hurriedly followed, the passage was not long, and it was inclined upward. As we progressed, the crisp jingle sound I heard became clearer, and in such an environment, such a sound seemed ethereal and a little weird, and I was attracted by this sound, and I was slightly distracted.

Suddenly, I noticed that Lantern Festival was behind me, running back and forth on both sides, not knowing what I was searching for. I asked curiously, "What are you doing during the Lantern Festival?" ”

Lantern Xiao stretched out his heart to me, and saw that he was holding several turquoise stones in his hands, which looked very well-proportioned in color, and should be in good shape. I asked him where he found it.

He raised his hand and pointed to the wall next to him, "From time to time, you can find inlays in the stone walls on both sides. ”

Why is there such a thing inlaid on the stone wall of the passage, after the Lantern Festival said this, I also began to pay attention to the stone walls on both sides, and sure enough, after walking a short distance, I found a turquoise stone inlaid on the wall.

I leaned over to look at it suspiciously, looked at it carefully, and then touched the wall with my hand, and suddenly I found that there was a circle carved on the periphery of the turquoise, but after a long time, the circle seemed very inconspicuous.

Why put a turquoise stone in a circle? What is the purpose of this? Could it be some strange symbol?

I took two steps back as I touched my chin, looking at the symbols on the stone wall, searching for previous memories, hoping to find some clues about it.

Suddenly, I noticed that what I was seeing wasn't quite it, and there seemed to be some lines on the outside of the circle. I immediately stepped forward and wiped some of the lime dust stuck to the stone wall with my hands.

Hearing my movements, Lantern Xiao and Wenmo both walked over, and Lantern Xiao looked strange, so she asked, "Zhuo Ran, what are you doing here?" Help the ancient ancestors clean up? ”

I pointed to the wall, "Look! A spindle-shaped pattern appeared on the periphery of the circle, and now the whole pattern was complete, and it was obvious, Lantern Xiao blurted out at a glance, "This, this is an eye!" ”

I nodded, "There should be a lot of eye patterns carved on the stone walls on both sides, but I don't know what the purpose is." I said to Lantern Xiao again: "And the pine stone you dug up is the eyeball of these eyes." ”

Lantern Xiao looked at the turquoise stone in his hand, and groped for a while on the wall next to him, "You see that there is also an eye here, but its eyeball is not inlaid with turquoise, but is sunken, what is going on?" ”

I leaned over to take a look, and sure enough, as Lantern Xiao said, the eye pattern carved on the stone wall was not inlaid with turquoise stone as an eyeball, but this position was dug into the wall to a depth of about one centimeter.

Now we are even more confused, and we don't understand what this means.

At this time, Wen Mo said behind us: "This is the legendary Void Eyes. ”

Void eyes? It suddenly sounded familiar to me, but I couldn't remember it for a while. Lantern Xiao's memory seems to be much better than mine, and I saw that as soon as he heard Wen Mo say this, his face immediately changed.

I asked Lantern Xiao, "What kind of empty eyes?" ”

Lantern Xiao looked at me and said, "I said one thing, and you remember." ”

"What?" I hurriedly asked.

Lantern Xiao said five words word by word: "Ali Merk instigated!" ”

"But, there are four of them at the instigation of Ali Merk, no, six eyes!" I was a little confused for a moment, and I didn't react, but soon, I still reacted, "Could it be that the void eyes here refer to ......?"

Wen Mo didn't speak, just nodded. Sure enough, there is indeed a mysterious connection between this place and the ruins of Qilian Mountain and the ancient country of Shan Huan. And the word Void reminds me of the huge Void Eye under the ancient tomb on the island!

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but have a headache, I rubbed my temples, these seemingly unrelated places, thousands of miles apart, what kind of connection do they have?

I was a little distracted thinking about these things, and I didn't hear anything that Lantern Xiao and Wenmo said next to me, until Lantern Xiao patted me on the shoulder, I came back to my senses, and when I turned around to look over, Wenmo had already walked far away.

Lantern Xiao and I followed quickly.
