Chapter 50: Helplessness
Yang Xiuwen looked at the white expanse behind him, and he was also stunned, he had been walking forward just now, the light was too dark, and he didn't notice that the back was quietly shrouded in white mist.
There was no way to retreat, and a group of people could only move forward.
They didn't kill the monkey just now, they just incapacitated him, and they turned away to make sure they wouldn't attack them.
The passage they walked through was the widest since they entered the place, and it was all painted with murals on both sides, which made people feel very strange.
There are three eyes, four hands, and some faces look very similar to owls, and some people have cow faces or horse faces, and what's even more strange is that those people are all undressed, and those women are all with big bellies, and I don't know what the painting is, it doesn't look good.
But the colors of this painting are particularly bright, and when you look at those eyes, you always feel like she's staring at you.
"Big brother, I'm scared, I always feel like she's watching me." Yang Yuqing hid behind her eldest brother.
"The person who painted this painting is definitely not a normal person, the paintings on this wall, those eyeballs of the height of a person are the eyes of a living person, and they are installed after special treatment, and these pigments on their bodies are also mixed with human blood, I don't know what method that person uses, he can handle these so well." Yang Xiuwen touched the paints with his hands, smelled them, and found that there was a smell of blood.
Yang Yuqing was so frightened by her second brother's words that she didn't dare to move at all, these people are so terrible, such a long road, there are hundreds of people drawn on both sides!
If it were all of them, how many people's eyes would have to be gouged out, and she would have goosebumps crawling all over her body.
"Then this is the mausoleum of Emperor Datong, there is nothing wrong, and the earliest Emperor Datong in history killed all the eunuchs and palace maids, concubines and maids who served him, and his eyes were gouged out to soak in potion, and the blood was also drained, which should be the reason." When Liu Jinqiao saw this paragraph at the time, he thought that those people had written too much, how could anyone gouge out their eyes to make potions, what did they want to do? Can those eyes still be soaked in wine?
"How many people are there? And so many people's blood, is it really all used to paint these murals? That's cruel, isn't it? "Yang Yuqing felt that this Emperor Datong was simply cruel and unkind, how could he do it with so many people?
"At least three or four hundred! Emperor Datong has been a gentleman since he was a child, and I heard that at the age of thirteen or fourteen, he had a waiting room, which was better than my brother who was a little marquis. Liu Jinqiao felt that when he was a child, he should be like his little marquis's brother, who made trouble wherever he went.
"Three or four hundred, this person ......" Yang Yuqing wanted to say something, but her mouth was directly covered by her eldest brother: "Girls, don't listen to these things, be good." ”
After speaking, he glared at Liu Jinqiao, his sister was only ten years old, what did this guy say in front of his sister?
Liu Jinqiao only remembered at this time, there was a sister-in-law here, so he quickly covered his mouth and glanced at his eldest brother with some embarrassment.
It took more than ten minutes, after walking this corridor, they turned into a place like an altar, in the middle there is a stone platform about one meter higher than the flat ground, the lines on the platform are very deep, like a kind of small ditches, Yang Jinwen stepped forward to take a look, and found that there are things in these small ditches.
Yang Xiuwen was wearing gloves, reached out and touched it, pulled it up and smelled it, and found that it was blood, probably because it was too long, the color had changed but it was still wet.
"Is this the blood of those people before, or is it the blood of these people who were brought here by something inexplicable later?" Yang Jinwen didn't believe that after so many years, the blood had just changed color.
There was something like a chimney on the high platform, which was connected to the roof on this side, and the rounded roof had several grooves around it, and there were some blackened blood stains on it.
A few people who originally wanted to get close to the high platform suddenly heard a terrible scream, and in an instant the chimney on the high platform was like a pipe, and suddenly there was a sound of water.
Immediately after, the grooves under the high platform were all filled with blood.
Yang Yuqing was so frightened that she almost screamed, if it weren't for the eldest brother covering her mouth and supporting her body, she found that she had probably collapsed to the ground.
"This must be someone who accidentally touched the mechanism on it, and then it was swallowed by the mechanism, and it became like this." Liu Jinqiao could only think of this one possibility for the time being, he just looked at the blood in the groove, and there was still minced meat.
Yang Yuqing also saw the rag head in the groove, and the whole person trembled.
"Be good, don't be afraid, my brother will protect you." Yang Jinwen patted his sister's back to soothe.
"Big brother, shall we go out?" Yang Yuqing was already crying when she spoke, she was a child who grew up under the red flag, she had never seen such a cruel thing, this kind of thing was beyond her imagination, all she could think of now was to leave here quickly.
"Okay, okay, big brother will take you out of here." Looking at his trembling sister who was scared, Yang Jinwen felt distressed, although he said that he would leave here with her, but he didn't have a score in his own heart.
In such a place, it is not necessary to be able to afford it?
Now that he thinks about it, he regrets it even more, why should he take the risk with his family? Just left, can't you?
"Brother, it's okay, let's work hard, we can get out, there are several stone gates on the left and right sides here, it's a big deal that we try one by one, which one of the world's ways can go out?" Yang Xiuwen also felt sorry for his frightened sister, but here, there are several stone doors on the left and right, and they don't know what they are, what is behind them?
Now I have no choice, and I can only try them one by one.
Liu Jinqiao tried to light all the torches on the wall, and soon, the entire altar was lit up.
Only then did they see clearly, what was this place like? The cylindrical chimney on the desk is what collects blood, there are no people, all of them have two stone people, but each of them, the facial expressions and appearances are different, cows, horses, sheep, snakes, owls, and parrots, just like that on the face, the body is the same as that of ordinary people, but some of the back also have wings, all made of stone, which looks scary, but there is really no threat.
Yang Jinwen just took a step forward, and was pulled by his sister, Yang Yuqing looked around when the whole room was bright, his mind was more delicate, and he also looked at the dome and floor, there were many bricks, and there were no joints around, these should be where the mechanism is.
"Look at this, this should be a mechanism, there is no beautiful seam, and then look at the back of those stone people to the ground, there is a very subtle arc, but not all of them, the first door, the left one, the second door to the right, the third door is also the left......"
