The Gun Scroll Chapter 27 The Ancient Wall
The three of them walked towards the rushing water, and the water lapped against the stones at the bottom of the cliff, and the stones were washed smooth and shiny, and all three of them could feel the splashing water around them. There was a "booming" sound of water all around, and Luo Xiaoyu shouted at the top of his voice: "Sister Gu, what's in here, if you go again, you will be washed by this water!"
As soon as the words fell, Gu Wanyi had already walked to the edge of the rock wall, and she didn't know if she heard Luo Xiaoyu's words clearly, she turned around and raised her eyebrows at the two, as if showing off, and then her figure flashed, and she disappeared behind the water curtain.
Xiao Qi and Luo Xiaoyu were stunned for a moment, and hurriedly stepped forward, and found that the rock wall behind the water curtain was concave inward, and the water potential was fast, so there was a gap between the water flow and the rock wall, which was full of moss. Walking in from this narrow gap, it suddenly became clear that there was a cave behind the water curtain, which was wide enough for three or four people to walk together.
The entrance of the cave was as high as Xiao Qi's waist, he jumped up with his hands on the entrance of the cave, and suddenly found that his broken left arm surged with a sense of powerlessness, he couldn't help but slip under his feet, almost fell, and suddenly a slender hand stretched out from the cave, but it pulled Xiao Qi up forcefully.
Gu Wanyi had a smug look on her face: "Sure enough, I still have to make a move, right?" Xiao Qi looked at the moss on his shirt, nodded and said, "It's not easy to find here." ”
The ground in the cave was covered with light blue vegetation, and a faint blue light was emitted in the darkness, illuminating the cave, and Xiao Qi could vaguely see that there were passages in the cave that meandered forward, leading to a deeper place. The cavity in this mountain has a larger space than Xiao Qi imagined.
Luo Xiaoyu jumped in lightly, looked around, and was very excited: "There is actually a night glow grass here, maybe there will be something good!Sister Gu, how did you find it?" Night glow grass likes shade, often born in dark and damp places, can emit a faint light, although it is called grass, it is actually similar to moss, and it is born against the rock wall. The night glow grass has medicinal uses, but it is relatively rare, so whether it is in the Qing Shui Room or the Longyuan Dynasty, the price of the night glow grass is very expensive.
"Thank you, Brother Xiao. I saw him by accident when I picked him up at the water's edge that day. ”
Xiao Qi shrugged noncommittally.
"You brought us here, you won't ask us to help dig up these night glow grasses and sell them for money, right?" Luo Xiaoyu asked with a grin.
"Hey, you reminded me, I haven't remembered it before, when I go back later, remember to dig some for me, let's split the account." ”
“......”
Gu Wanyi took advantage of the faint light emitted by the night glow grass to grope into the cave, Xiao Qi and Luo Xiaoyu followed behind, Xiao Qi also noticed that Luo Xiaoyu dug out some night glow grass with his hands along the way and put it in his pocket, and couldn't help but laugh secretly.
The passage in front was very narrow, and Gu Wanyi and Luo Xiaoyu folded their wings behind them before they could barely squeeze in. The three of them walked in the passage, their clothes rubbing a lot of dust and moss on the rock wall, but Gu Wanyi didn't care and rushed forward.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, Gu Wanyi, who was walking at the forefront, jumped to the side, and Xiao Qi was able to see the scene ahead. In the depths of the mountain, there is a huge cavity, and the surrounding rock walls show an arc extending upward, converging on the top of the head, like a huge eggshell, but the shell walls are uneven, and there are many stalactites formed over the years, such as countless knife blades densely inserted above the head. Occasionally, a few drops of water drip from the tip of the stalactite, echoing faintly in the empty eggshell.
Xiao Qi's attention at this time was not far ahead, outside the end of the road under their feet, there was a stone wall that had obviously been specially carved, the original uneven rock wall was polished smooth, and there was a huge carving on it, from a distance, Xiao Qi could see that this was a huge pass, even if it was separated by some distance, he could still see the clear outlines and lines on the wall. Even though there are many small snake-like cracks on it, it looks a little old, but it is still very well preserved, which shows the depth of the nicks back then.
"This painting seems to be more than 100 years old, but since the Yi people live in the mountains and forests all the year round, they should not have built a pass, this painting should not be the handiwork of the Yi people, have humans been here?" Xiao Qi looked at the stone wall in front of him and asked thoughtfully.
Gu Wanyi shook her head: "No, look at that." Gu Wanyi pointed forward, Xiao Qi looked in that direction, in the gate of this pass, there was a human figure, Xiao Qi didn't pay attention to it before, just thought it was a soldier, but at the moment, he looked closely, but found something strange.
There were two pairs of huge wings behind this humanoid, one stretched out one up and down, but they were much larger than the wings of ordinary wingers, four or five times as long as their arm span, like a huge cross on their back, which looked very incongruous. He held the sword in both hands, and the sword in his right hand pointed to the sky, but the sword in his left hand was inserted into his chest with his backhand, passing through his chest, but there was no blood, his eyes were solemn and solemn, and there was no look of pain. The skills of the people who left these murals are truly superb, and after hundreds of years, they still feel lifelike and majestic, and people dare not look at them.
"This is the chief god of all the gods of the Wing Clan, the ancient god of Delier, the blade of the right hand points to the sky, which is to punish evil, and the sword of the left hand pierces the chest, which is to sin himself. This shouldn't have been painted by humans, right?" Gu Wanyi saw the expression on Xiao Qi's face and said with a smile.
"The ancestors of the Wing tribe taught that the enemy must be treated with the force of thunder and not tolerated, and the people of the clan should be measured with common heart and fairness. Gu Wanyi's gaze returned to the stone wall and said softly, as if she was secretly praying.
"Punish evil and sin yourself...... Then this mural is ......" Xiao Qi suddenly thought of the past he told when he first met Gu Yu. History is so complicated, Xiao Qi is reluctant to accept all kinds of rhetoric, even if Gu Yu mentioned the "battle of piercing the heart", he tried to comfort himself that it was specially designed by Gu Yu, but at this time, seeing this majestic mural, Xiao Qi became more and more in a trance, not knowing what is true and what is false. In this painting, it should be the Pingyuguan where Ye Xiaoyuan killed the Wing Clan.
Gu Wanyi nodded and said, "Yes, it should be the Pingyuguan in Grandpa's mouth." Xu was indignant and powerless to take revenge, and warned future generations in the name of the ancient god of Delier. The people of the Qingshui clan may have forgotten it, but they didn't expect that hundreds of years later, the souls of the ancestors are still echoing in the belly of this mountain. ”
Gu Wanyi's tone was calm, but Xiao Qi was in a complicated mood, as if his heart had been stepped on heavily, and he asked, "So you specially brought me here to comfort the heroic spirit in front of the ancient gods?"
Luo Xiaoyu looked at Xiao Qi and Gu Wanyi in confusion, obviously not knowing what the two were talking about. Many people of the Wing Clan were reluctant to mention this past, so Luo Xiaoyu knew very little. Gu Wanyi looked at Xiao Qi with a serious face and didn't speak for a long time. Xiao Qi's expression became more and more solemn, and his palms were sweating. He has seen Gu Wanyi's skills, and he is not sure of victory when he moves, so it is best to defeat the enemy with one blow. He secretly measured it in his heart, his lips were dry, but he couldn't give birth to the slightest thought and strength to make a move.
Looking at the nervous expression on Xiao Qi's blue nose and swollen face, Gu Wanyi suddenly laughed out loud: "Look at your expression, your eyes are so big, you look like a toad!"
Xiao Qi was stunned for a moment, ignoring Gu Wanyi's strange rhetoric. He turned his head to look at the mural, but the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised.
"I'm not interested in the grudges of hundreds of years ago. Gu Wanyi suddenly sighed softly. Xiao Qi had never heard Gu Wanyi speak in such a tone, and turned around in surprise.
"You brought me here because you want me to help Patriarch Gu as much as possible, right?"
Gu Wanyi smiled, not as surprised that Xiao Qi guessed her thoughts, and said with a smile: "I think you can guess it too." I'm not interested in the grievances between the two races, but I'm very greedy for so many new places and things outside. If you are dissatisfied with grandpa's attitude that day, I also hope that you will not prevaricate grandpa because of this matter. ”
Gu Wanyi rarely took it so seriously, looking at Gu Wanyi's eager gaze, Xiao Qi didn't think of the various reasons and scruples when he replied to Gu Yu that day, and said seriously: "What Patriarch Gu said, I don't distinguish between truth and falsehood, and I don't care, but I promise you that I will do my best." ”
Gu Wanyi smiled, turned her head and shouted to Luo Xiaoyu, who was listening inexplicably, "That's fine." Let's go! The night glowgrass is out there, help me get rich!"
