Chapter 587: Lines and Patterns
Although the patterns on the murals are not the same as those of the real Changbai Mountain, the colors on them are quite monotonous.
The surrounding mountains and conditions are quite different from today.
But everyone, when they see that mountain for the first time, they have a subconscious feeling - this mountain is the Changbai Mountain at their feet, and it is what this mountain looked like thousands or even tens of thousands of years ago!
That's not what surprised them, though.
Long Tiansheng looked at the mural, at the edge of the peak, and at what seemed to be a long dragon circling, as if the scales on his body had merged into the body of the peak.
Look at the dragon's head at the top of the mountain, and one of the dragon's heads with a glowing lamp.
"This ...... This transparent crystal carving is the mural of Changbai Mountain in the center? ”
Man Lin was a little puzzled in his mouth: "What does this mean?" They left this mural and here, it can't be just for fun, right? ”
"Who said that clearly." Long Tiansheng's expression did not move, his steps took a slight step to the side, and the flashlight in his hand shone on the mural above: "Compared with the murals of Changbai Mountain and Candle Dragon, I think these paintings next to them are more important." ”
Hearing this, Man Lin noticed that next to the Changbai Candle Dragon Diagram, there were the rest of the scrolls, but just now his attention was all absorbed by that painting, and he didn't even notice it at all.
At this time, I looked at it, my complexion couldn't help but change slightly, and on a painting next to it, a giant as tall as a mountain walked between heaven and earth, breathing into wind and clouds, and moving and causing thunder.
He held a snake in one hand, two snakes under his feet, and two snakes hanging from his ears.
And around him, in circles, patches of turquoise light emerged, as if a god of the underworld had come out of the underworld.
"It's a giant...... Not only giants, but also the legendary god of snake! ”
Man Lin swallowed his saliva, judging from the paintings on the mural alone, this giant is simply taller than Changbai Mountain, of course it is impossible. It just means that it is in charge of this place and is the master of this big talk.
And after he looked closely, he found that around the giant's feet, there were patterns of fierce beasts and villains.
Although these patterns are small and not elaborate enough, the overall posture of prostrations and worship is very distinct, obviously expressing surrender and faith.
On a mural next to the giant, there are cages, surrounded by green flames, and giant snakes are spitting snake letters, looking at the people in the cages, obviously imprisoning them.
Man Lin retracted his gaze and let out a long breath: "So, this is the mural of the giant showing his strength back then?" Changbai Mountain, maybe it was still a holy mountain back then. ”
"Is that all you see?"
Long Tiansheng glanced at him and continued, "You take a closer look at the edge lines of the mural, and look at the lines in those light clusters. ”
Man Lin was stunned when he heard this, and then immediately probed carefully, only to see that there seemed to be some faint ups and downs on the edge of the lines, but they were very hidden, and it was difficult to distinguish and see even under the light of the flashlight.
And in the green light and fire, it is relatively much clearer.
After he took a closer look, a chill rushed to the heavenly spirit, and he staggered back a few steps and took a deep breath.
"These lights, these fires...... Yes, it's bugs? ”
"It's unexpected, but it's reasonable, right?" Long Tiansheng glanced at him and said, "Fireflies are not very rare things, the nature of the insects on this painting is similar to it." No fuss. ”
Man Lin's eyelids jumped, and he looked at Long Tiansheng and said, "Old man Long, you did this on purpose, right?" ”
"I don't believe you don't know the difference between fireflies and insects on this, and you deliberately pretend to be confused?"
"If those blobs of light are really these bugs, and we're still here. Maybe they're there in this cave! ”
"These guys can act as guards to guard those giants, you can imagine how strong they are, you and I just drank some emperor liquid pulp, can you really face this kind of monster?"
"Or are you already conscious of dying here?"
Oh?
Long Tiansheng raised his eyebrows slightly, he didn't expect that Man Lin would have such a big reaction after seeing it clearly. So his face softened slightly, and he gently patted Man Lin's shoulder: "Don't be impatient, don't be impatient, this is just something on the mural." ”
"Is that the case here, and there are other theories."
"Anything else?" Man Lin sneered: "Judging from the murals, those snakes and these insects are obviously controlled by this snake giant, and can even become his protector and rely on him." ”
"As a sacred mountain, Changbai Mountain was repaired and built in this way, and in ancient times, these things would even become local holy relics and gods."
"In the holy mountain, will there be any sacred relics?"
He snorted coldly when he said this, and was just about to continue speaking, but his eyes contracted suddenly, and the words he was about to say instantly swallowed back, and his body immediately flipped over and ran outside.
Long Tiansheng next to him saw that his complexion also changed, although he didn't know what the situation was, but he also hurriedly followed the steps, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw that the hidden lines on the mural had deepened over time!
At the same moment, a sound came from all around.
Gollum ......
Gollum ......
It was the sound of something tumbling and falling, and he looked in the direction where the sound came, only to see one or two of the bones falling from the layers of walls.
The chill rushed to the top of his head, and Long Tiansheng's footsteps sped up violently.
But no sooner had he taken two or three steps than a continuous sound of falling echoed through the area.
A cold wind blew, making people shiver, accompanied by the sound of dense skulls falling, even more terrifying, creepy. And next to the sound of the fall, a subtle rustling sound also rose, which could not be concealed.
It is like a hundred ghosts traveling, like the underworld.
The wind grew stronger, and the blue flames shook wildly.
In the afterglow of the perspective of the two of them, they naturally saw that among the falling heads, insects of one inch in size crawled out of them.
They spread their wings and soared into the air, bursting with familiar light all over their bodies.
Turquoise light!
It belongs to the light of the giant in the fresco!
"!" Man Lin scolded, with a mask of pain on his face, and ran forward frantically, once he was caught up by these strange insects and possessed by them, even if he had great ability, he would only be dead!
Long Tiansheng also rushed forward, and a hint of realization rose in his heart: "Yes, it is the revealing lines of the picture above that represent the awakening of these things. ”
"And those lines are there because we're here, and we let the light and the fire light here."
"The combination of temperature and light has awakened them!" But even if he figured out the reason, he didn't feel half happy at this time, and even his spirit was even more tense.
The people who designed this mechanism took the temperature into account, so could it have taken into account our running?
Restless, he ran and shouted to move forward: "Quick! All back in the river, walk out of the river! ”
………………………………
Puff puff ......
In the continuous sound, Jiang Xian and several people re-entered the water.
Although the current was still fast, they were somewhat accustomed to being prepared.
After changing clothes, it is easier to move around in the water.
In the boiling water, several people stabilized their figures, and their eyes kept looking around, observing possible situations.
According to what Jiang Xian just said, there may be some clues on the surrounding walls and everywhere around, and there is no harm in writing these down, and even some help can be obtained at some point.
The next route they traveled had to be changed according to the clues on the walls.
But Ling Xiaozi didn't see anything special about these walls, the same roughness, no, even worse.
It seems to be a completely natural cave, and no one has intervened, leaving it in its most primitive condition.
"But this also shows that this road seems to have been intended as a waterway in the first place, right?"
Thinking like this, he used his hands and feet together, and changed his direction slightly as he went down with the water.
The two shopkeepers in the northeast looked at the wall, glanced at each other from time to time, and exchanged information. So far, they are quite convinced of many of Jiang Xian's inferences and speculations, and naturally they are more attentive to the observation of the surrounding walls.
No one has passed through this place for many years, and under the erosion of time, even some traces of the original are difficult to find, and only careful identification can be determined.
"Mr. Jiang! Look there! ”
Zuo Mingfeng's voice suddenly sounded, and everyone immediately took out their weapons and inserted them into the rock wall to stop the drifting.
Jiang Xian leaned against the rock wall and looked in the direction of Zuo Mingfeng's finger, only to see a moss-covered rock wall above, and under this covered moss, there was a faint pattern that was formed.
It's just that the pattern is very light because of the moss covering, and if you don't have good enough eyesight and careful enough, you can't find it at all.
Jiang Xian raised his eyebrows, and the flashlight shone along the way, observing it carefully, and sketching a complete image in his mind.
Suddenly, his pupils shrank, he exhaled, looked deeply at the moss, and said, "Let's go, I've already written down the figure." ”
Lin Ruoxue's eyes moved slightly, she didn't say anything, Ling Xiaozi next to her rolled her eyes twice, and continued to go down the water.
Beep Pavilion
After passing this water, it seems that there are more traces after that, everyone keeps stopping, constantly observing, although no one can distinguish and outline the pattern behind the moss in a short time like Jiang Xian, but after seeing more, there is also a vague conjecture in his heart.
"The surname Jiang, are those patterns all the same?"
Ling Xiaozi asked on the side, "I see that some traces of those mosses are similar. ”
"You're right, it's all the same."
Jiang Xian nodded: "Although there are various forms and different sizes, they are indeed the same pattern. ”
"I'm very familiar with the pattern."
"Black Dead Butterfly!"
