Chapter 192: The Strange Beast on the Stone Gate
Cautiously walked to the mouth of the well, and looked down at the well, where it was pitch black below.
Since I upgraded my eyes just now, I haven't seen darkness in my eyesight, how can I see that it is so dark under the ancient well?
The only explanation: there is something in this ancient well that makes my "night vision eyes" ineffective.
This seems to confirm my suspicion that the entrance to the mysterious space is under this ancient well.
Hurriedly ran to the warehouse of the ferry factory to find a long enough rope, tied one end of the rope to the big locust tree, and the other end to his waist, and then grabbed the rope with both hands, and moved backwards and little by little to the ancient well.
When you step on the green bricks of the ancient well, you don't feel the slightest slippage, which shows that there is not only no water in the well, but also very dry.
After going down about seven or eight meters, I felt a faint soreness in my arms, it seems that my upgraded arms have also failed, I think the powerful power of the flower system on the other side is ineffective in this ancient well!
After descending for more than ten meters, he finally touched the ground with his left foot first.
I didn't dare to jump down, but carefully touched it with my foot first, and then I landed on my feet and let go of the rope after standing firm.
I can't see my fingers in the well, and there is a faint fishy smell in the air, I can't be 100% sure, but I feel that this smell is similar to the smell on the hard object that Lao Wu took out during the day.
I touched my pocket, glad that I had finished smoking in the car, and then slipped the lighter into my pants pocket.
Hurry up and pull it out.
Holding up the lighter that had been lit, and moving with a pale yellow halo, I could see my surroundings clearly.
On my left-hand side there was a doorway with darkness and stone steps that went down diagonally.
secretly scolded "", knowing that the hard work finally paid off, and he found the right place.
Since you have chosen to move forward bravely, then don't be afraid at all.
I took a deep breath and walked into the cave with my lighter, slowly walking down the stone steps.
As I walked, I mentally counted the distance from the ground.
From the ancient wellhead to the bottom of the well, about 20 meters, according to the degree of inclination of the stone steps obliquely downward, about every seven or eight stone steps, it will descend one meter.
Roughly counting the stone steps, I walked down about twenty meters, and the stone steps came to an end.
If you do the math, I'm more than forty meters above the ground at this point.
After looking around for a week, I found that it was a large stone room, and the lighter had been burning for a long time, so I couldn't hold it a little, so I quickly let go of my hand.
The moment I let go, darkness reigned in darkness.
Presumably, the fear of darkness was written into the genes when the first humans appeared, and became one of the symbols of human beings. At this time, I was in the darkness of more than 40 meters underground, and my body trembled a little because of fear.
Wait quietly for a minute or so to relight the lighter.
The stone chamber is made of bluestone slabs as a whole, including the stone slabs that are paved on the ground.
Hold the lighter as high as you can, and look around, there is a large black stone door at the end of the stone room, and a stone table is placed in front of the stone door.
I hurriedly walked over, and when I was about five meters away from the stone table, I saw the items on the stone table clearly, and my scalp exploded in fright.
On either side of the table stood two white candles twice as thick as an adult's thumb, and between the two candles was a metal plate with a white skull on it.
The skull's facial features are facing the stone door.
I instantly remembered what Lao Wu told me about being in the duty room during the day.
Could it be that this is the head of Mr. Yin and Yang decades ago, in order to completely seal the entrance to the Xenomorph Demon Realm?
At that time, when I listened to Lao Wu talk about this, I didn't believe it very much.
He said whether the master had cut off his head himself, or whether he had put it on the stone table opposite the stone gate with both hands.
No matter how you listen to it, this is similar to two myths and legends.
The first is the co-worker who was cut off by God, with his breasts as his eyes and his navel as his mouth, and he entered the Lingxiao Treasure Hall with an axe in his hand.
The second is the hero who pulled out his sword to help when he saw the injustice of the cadre, he cut off his head and threw it into the boiling oil pot, helping the cadre Mo Ye's son to avenge his son.
Seeing this head at this moment, I couldn't help but believe Lao Wu's words.
"If he had put his head on the stone table with his head in his hands, then his body should have been nearby!" In order to verify Lao Wu's statement, I simply lit one of the candles.
Fortunately, candles are afraid of heat, but they are not afraid of cold, and they are fine to keep in a cold environment for thousands of years.
The candlelight illuminated everything around me, and I immediately saw a headless skeleton lying on the ground between the stone table and the stone door.
The skeleton stretched its hands forward, and could tell what it was holding.
This is conclusive evidence, and I completely believe Lao Wu's words, but the problem also comes.
The stone chamber is more than forty meters away from the ground, very hidden, when the master cut off his head, there should not be a second person present, how did Lao Wu know all this?
And the description is so detailed, it makes me feel as if I've seen it with my own eyes.
So I came to a conclusion, that is, Lao Wu also has a problem.
Things seem to be getting more and more complicated and confusing.
Because the light was much stronger than just now, I could see the stone gate clearly.
The stone gate is about two and a half meters high, two meters wide, composed of two doors, and two round metal pull rings, the strange thing is that these two pull rings do not look the slightest rust, I don't know what metal material it is.
There are all kinds of strange animal patterns carved on the stone door, and at first glance, there are flying in the sky, and there are also crawling on the ground, all of which I have never seen.
For example, a tiger with wings is carved above the stone gate on the left, and if you look closely, the tiger seems to have the body of a goat.
Underneath is a large snake, except that this snake has a human head.
After a general glance, all animals are "alien", such as the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" or other mythical beasts.
This is the same variety as the evil cult that ran out of the Xenomorph Demon Realm that Lao Wu said, and it seems to indirectly confirm the authenticity of this matter.
It seems that behind the stone gate is the terrifying Xenomorph Demon Realm, and I don't know how this door should be opened.
I turned around and wanted to bow three times to the tall man's head on the stone table, but when I bent down, I saw a yellowed cloth underneath the stone table.
On the cloth is a picture of an emaciated old man, dressed in a robe, holding a compass in one hand and a whisk in the other, although the quality of the painting has been affected by the erosion of time, but the person who painted this painting is obviously a superb painter, and a few brushstrokes sketch a vivid person.
I glanced at it a few times, and I always felt that this person was a little familiar.
There are also two columns of words next to it, which are thin gold fonts, and they are neatly written and free and easy.
"At the end of the autumn of the year of Wuxu, Chen Ziang self-portrait."
It turned out that the person in the portrait was called Chen Ziang.
How did this portrait come to be here?
Wuxu year? Isn't this the year? This idea was instantly rejected by me, and it should have been the last year of Wuxu, that is, 1958.
