Chapter 6 The Rainbow That Never Falls, The Drum That Rings Forever
The huge waterfall cascades downward, and the fierce water crashes into the deep pool at the bottom of the waterfall, throwing a thousand layers of snow into the waterfall, and the roar of the water is like thunder.
"Here it is...... Victoria Falls?" Olivia said in a lost voice, "Isn't this the edge of the Devil's Pool?"
Xiao Yifan's eyes were also full of shock. They passed through the gate and came to the edge of Victoria Falls, the Devil's Pool......
"No, it's not. Xiao Yifan's voice trembled a little, at this time, the drum sound has become more and more obvious, and you don't need to listen with your soul, but you can hear it with your ears.
A rainbow bridge stretches across the sky, the colors are incomparable, the mist spreads across the sky as before, and the dazzling sunlight shines on the earth, and the waterfall has maintained this scene for thousands of years.
Xiao Yifan looked at his watch, it was just a waterproof travel watch, with a compass attached, but unfortunately the time on the watch jumped quickly at this time, and the compass kept rotating, obviously, at this time, the radio waves were strongly disturbed, and at the same time, there was a strong and disordered magnetic field.
The two took out their mobile phones again, and the time difference on it was more than six hours. You know, once they arrived in Zimbabwe, they all readjusted the time, but now, they can't know the exact time.
"It's about four o'clock in the morning, and Victoria Falls shouldn't be like that at this time. Xiao Yifan said.
"So where are we now? Where are the drums?"
Xiao Yifan just wanted to speak, but his expression suddenly froze, and he looked at the other side of the waterfall in a daze. Seeing this, Olivia looked at Xiao Yifan's line of sight, and was suddenly stunned, and in the hazy smoke, there seemed to be a huge shadow on the opposite side of the waterfall.
"That'...... What is it. Olivia's voice trembled a little, and the shadow made her feel a mysterious pressure.
Xiao Yifan didn't answer, just kept rushing over there.
The two found that the road here was different from the original Victoria Falls, and there were even many plants along the way that they had never seen before, but Xiao Yifan did not stop and walked straight to the opposite side of the waterfall. It stands to reason that it is a sightseeing platform, and the huge buildings that Xiao Yifan and they saw just now have never seen in Zimbabwe.
The moment he climbed to the opposite side, Xiao Yifan raised his head and couldn't help but show a shocked look, and Olivia followed his gaze, also froze in place.
A huge building up to 100 meters stands in front of you, like a tower is not a tower, like a pillar is not a column, exudes a simple, desolate and magnificent atmosphere, the material of the tower is like white marble, white and flawless, the tower body is carved all the ancient hieroglyphs and unrecognizable tadpole text that Xiao Yifan saw on the rock wall of the mountain.
The tower seems to have stood here since ancient times, and it will continue to stand and never fall. The years have not left any traces on the tower, as if it is a great miracle completed not long ago, but you can clearly feel the vicissitudes of life left by the years, every inch of the tower's stone, every word seems to tell an ancient and desolate story.
The mystery and simplicity of the tower can only amaze Xiao Yifan and them, and what really shocked Xiao Yifan and Olivia was the huge statues on both sides of the tower. It is not so much a statue as a building, the statue is more than ten meters high, and it also looks like it has just been cast, but it naturally reveals a trace of quaint desolation......
The statue on the left side of the tower is a deity with the head of a jackal and a strong male body, the head of the jackal wears a golden crown with zebra stripes, two ears are erect high, and the whole body is as black as if it has been doused with ink, but it reflects the luster of metal, and the muscles are as strong as a dragon. The idol holds a golden scepter in its left hand, and a golden scepter in its right hand, but there is a scale on the top of the golden scepter, with a red heart on one side and a white feather on the other, but the two sides are strangely balanced. The statue of the god is lifelike, and its cold eyes are full of death, and I don't know what material it is made of, like Ugin. If it weren't for the solidified serious expression, it might be regarded as a truly living god.
The statue on the right is equally realistic, this one is also a stout man, but it is the head of an eagle falcon, and the zebra-striped gold crown on its head shines blindly in the sun. The whole body of the statue seems to be cast from gold, a pair of huge golden wings stretch out, the feathers on the roots and feathers are clearly visible, his breath is like a king overlooking the heavens and the earth, the vast territory seems to be under the protection of his wings, the left hand of the statue is also holding a golden scepter, but the right hand is a strange rune, like a round-headed cross, full of beauty and mystery, the fly in the ointment is that he has no eyes, but there is an eye-like tattoo on his right arm.
This picture is too visually impactful, so that a guy like Xiao Yifan who has seen countless miracles can't come back to his senses for a while.
"Anubis, the god of death, and Horus, the guardian of the sky, are two ancient gods in Egyptian mythology. Xiao Yifan's voice was a little dry, he couldn't hide the shock in his heart, and "Horus" was also one of the nine pillar gods of Egypt.
These two gods can be regarded as famous, and even the two characters "Dog Head" and "Tsar" in the e-sports game "A Certain Alliance" are based on these two gods, but at this time, the two gods are just standing in front of this huge white tower.
"Are these really two statues? How do they feel like two true ancient gods?" Olivia's eyes were full of incredulity.
"'Horus' has no eyes......"
"The 'Wedjat Eyes' that represent power, protection, and sacredness?"
"Yes, the King of the Sky does not have the Eye of Power, as in the legend, this is really the body of a god?Or does such a statue have a special symbolic meaning?What is this white pagoda that has never been seen before?" Xiao Yifan could feel his breathing becoming rapid, "Standing in front of the statues of these two gods, I feel that I am facing a real god, I have never seen a miracle before, is this really a dead god?"
Imprisoning two forbidden gods from ancient times to guard such a ruin, is there a more unknown secret? There are too many secrets of the gods, many of them are buried in history, and no one knows whether there are even older myths in the Age of Mythology. But the gods of Egypt appeared here, and perhaps there was something unknown in the mythology of ancient Egypt.
Suddenly, the idol of Horus trembled slightly, although it was faint, but naturally it could not escape the eyes of the two.
"Gavin, it's, it looks like it's moved......" Olivia's voice trembled.
"Well, you read that right. Xiao Yifan's voice became cold, and he looked at the idol quietly.
The idol of Horus became more vibrant, the muscles on the huge body pulled the well-proportioned limbs, the scepter slowly pointed to the sky, the light of the rainbow in the air was slowly dimmed, at the same time, the sun gradually sank in the west, and then, a ray of starlight gradually appeared in the sky, and soon after, a round of jade pots was born, and the clear light was sprinkled on Horus's body, reflecting a faint golden light, but Horus's movements suddenly stagnated, and he did not move.
At the same time, Anubis's wolf eyes glowed with oily green light, the metallic male body was full of powerful beauty, the scales on the scepter in his right hand fell together, with the glow of the stars and the moon, the golden scepter was even more sacred, the bright red heart on the scales seemed to be still beating, the crimson of death was shocking, the white feathers were soft and fluttering, contrasting sharply with the bright red heart, and the brilliant sun rainbow became a mysterious moon rainbow.
"Are they really gods, they are alive?" Olivia no longer believed that this was the scene he had seen with his own eyes, although he was born in the Protoss, he had infinite awe and yearning for the inexplicable mysterious miracles, and he had heard some of them in the words of his predecessors, but he had never seen a god who was suspected to be alive like today!
"No one can live so long, not even the gods. Xiao Yifan pondered for a while, and then said, "These two gods have only preserved their incorruptible bodies in this strange space, and their souls, gods, and senses have long been annihilated in the long river of history. ”
"But after all, we don't know what kind of life the real gods are!"
Xiao Yifan glanced at the watch again, the second hand was walking counterclockwise, and the compass behind the dial was spinning wildly like a demon.
"Is the magnetic field constantly deflecting?Or is the magnetic field here unchanged and the space is constantly rotating?" Xiao Yifan stared at his watch.
It only takes about thirty minutes for the sun and moon to alternate, and the moon rainbow that hangs in the sky forever releases a dim and eerie seven-colored shimmer. Just as the idol of Anubis froze and the scepter of Horus was about to usher in the dawn of dawn, a string of silver bells of laughter could be heard from below the waterfall. At this moment, the roar of the waterfall is even more breathtaking.
"Gavin, you...... Do you hear anything?" Olivia leaned over and grabbed the corner of Xiao Yifan's clothes.
"Didn't you tell me to see those girls and tell you? A cold air rushed from the soles of the two of them to their backs and went straight to their heads, but Xiao Yifan still didn't forget to be cheap.
The string of voices that seemed to be like a young woman did not make people feel beautiful, but rather creepy, and the trance that seemed to be real and illusory, muffled by the roaring sound of water, made people even more frightening.
"No, it's not the sound of a waterfall, listen carefully, it's a drum!" Xiao Yifan said suddenly, "This drum has been there since we came to this world, and we didn't even notice it." ”
"What?!" Olivia covered her mouth, her beautiful eyes flashing with horror, "You mean, rainbows have never fallen since ancient times, and the drum has never stopped, so the legend of the African golden drum is true?"
"What kind of history is being covered up?" Xiao Yifan glanced at Olivia, who frowned slightly, and couldn't help but shake his head helplessly.
Xiao Yifan turned around and set his eyes on the misty deep pool, and suddenly, his expression froze. There, there is a faint five-colored neon color.
In a dim light, he seemed to see a group of Miaoman's bodies dancing there, beating the golden drums at the same time. And the scalp-tingling laughter is still intermittent.
The morning sun rises, the moon rainbow slowly dissipates, the sun shines on those colorful figures, the reflected colorful light is reflected in the sky, and a rainbow bridge stands like a girl.
"The rainbow that never falls, the golden drum that resounds forever ......" Xiao Yifan's expression calmed down, with a smile as warm as the sun on his face, "I have probably found some clues here now, but there is still a serious problem that cannot be solved." ”
"What's the problem?" said Olivia casually.
Xiao Yifan turned his head and looked at Olivia's delicate face gently, and said softly, "I'm afraid we won't be able to get out for the time being." ”
"Huh?!"
