Volume 1 Chapter 57: Tales on the Fresco

Obviously, the exit is only a dozen meters, but these ten meters seem to me to be like Louis XVI has no head.

After choking a few mouthfuls of water, I was instantly stunned, but fortunately, Dawu directly dragged me forward, and the second brother and Yu Yang also hurriedly pulled me up on the shore, and I lay on the ground and spit out the water that was choked into my lungs.

"Third Master Qiu, your lung capacity is too poor, I'll take you to practice when I go back...."Dawu gasped beside me and smiled at me and said.

I couldn't speak for a long time, and after spitting up the water in my lungs, I sat up and looked around.

When I shined a flashlight overhead, I found that there were thousands of stairs around it, surrounded by a spring, all the way up.

It's really hard for me to think that this was really built by the Six Fingers, and that they can build such a large stone statue. Unexpectedly, the interior was hollowed out by them and so many stairs were built.

"Don't be stunned, let's go out by express, or it won't be long before the water floods in....."

The second brother didn't give us time to rest, and walked directly up the stairs, and I could still hear the faint sound of the snake flute, but I didn't expect the butterfly to never stop. I couldn't help but start worrying about Bai Sha, whether he could deal with that woman.

At the same time, I was very puzzled, Bai Sha was obviously the person who was paid by the second brother to pay for, why didn't he listen to us in the end?

I asked the second brother about the doubts in my heart, and the second brother sighed and said, "This is also normal, people who spend money on the Tao and borrow money are not wholeheartedly obedient to you. Generally, after the bucket, when encountering the kind of particularly fat oil bucket, many borrowed people not only will not listen to the owner, but may even turn against the water, slaughter the entire owner's team, and swallow the treasure in the bucket..... This is also the reason why people are generally borrowed on the road, and not too many people, so as to prevent uneven distribution of spoils and conflicts...... Of course, this time I blamed myself for looking away, and I didn't find anything under the lotus platform, so that the kid could see it. ”

I can't help but be speechless, what the second brother couldn't see, let Bai Sha see it, could it be that Bai Sha's eyes are better than the eyes of the second brother, a professional who has learned the craft from my father since he was a child?

Yu Yang said: "Second master, the identity of this kid surnamed Bai shouldn't be simple, I'm afraid it's not from the capital, right?" After I was separated from you, I walked alone with him, and several times he showed better skills than the guys in our Golden Hall, and I don't think Master Cao is as good as him..."

Dawu also echoed: "I think so, last time in the Song Dynasty, in that fight, he didn't make a lot of efforts." ”

The second brother didn't deny it, but just nodded lightly: "Well, after going out this time, I will send someone to check his details, and if I have the opportunity, I will recruit him to the Touching Golden Hall..... If you can't recruit him, don't borrow him in the future. ”

We walked up the stairs, glancing at our feet from time to time, and the water was already rising at a speed that was already visible to the naked eye.

I can't imagine how heavy the rain outside is, which can flood the entire mountain, this can really be said to be a mountain of water!

The inside of the stone statue was very empty, and our flashlights were not very bright, but fortunately, there was no danger, so I told me about the strange things I encountered with Dawu in the tunnel.

The second brother was also puzzled after hearing this, obviously he didn't know what the strange rocks in the tunnel were.

"Third Master Qiu, I saw what you came across on the murals of the mountain road....." Yu Yang said, and after thinking for a few seconds, he recounted what he saw on the murals.

There is no text on the mural, only the story drawn with graphics, most of the content is also the common guess of Yu Yang and Bai Sha, and there is definitely a deviation from the specific meaning of the mural, but it will not deviate from the meaning of the mural.

On the mural that Yu Yang saw, a huge stone fell from the sky and fell here. I realized that the part painted on the mural should be roughly the same as the story told to us by Wang Degui, and the stone falling from the sky in the mural is a meteorite.

It's just that on the mural, there are a lot of details that Wang Degui didn't mention, but after more of these details, the direction of the story has become completely different.

The first half of the mural is basically the same as what Wang Degui said, drawing the origin of the six-fingered clan, but from the second half of the story it has become weird.

The mural mentions that after this meteorite fell here, it smashed into a huge crater, which is exactly the huge crater we are in now. The meteorite split into two halves, half of which broke into many pieces, and they fell into the crater and quickly merged with the mountain. And the half of the meteorite, which was not broken into small pieces, was surrounded by the six-fingered clan that was gradually growing.

There are more and more adult males in the clan, and the bad habit of them going down the mountain to rob the women as wives is becoming more and more serious when they become adults. Most of them are a single man who presupposes multiple women. The clan was so large that they had to build dwellings that could accommodate so many people.

It just so happened that this meteorite was used as an auspicious stone by the six-fingered people, and they built an earthen building around the half of the meteorite that was not divided into small pieces. During the construction process, the Six Fingers found a valley full of snakes in the mountains.

For the sake of convenience, let's call it Snake Valley first.

The Six-Fingered people were initially very afraid of the snake valley because it was full of poisonous snakes, but soon a newly grown tribesman took a woman from the bottom of the mountain, the daughter of a famous local Gu magician.

Strange to say, this woman did not cry and make trouble like the other women who were robbed, but accepted it all quietly. The woman would play the snake flute, and when the snake flute sounded, the serpent in the valley of the snake would obey the woman's commands.

This woman gave the skill of playing the snake flute to the women of the entire Six-Fingered Clan, and then told all the people of the Six-Fingered Clan that in the Five Dragons Mountain, there is a kind of incomparably huge Swallowing Python that has grown into adulthood, and as long as its shed skin is treated with special secret techniques, it can make people achieve longevity.

And the six-fingered people because of their natural genetic defects, irritable temperament and easy muscles, basically died before the age of forty, they listened to this woman's words, risked a lot of dangers, and found the witch in the snake valley that the goddess said about the swallowing python.

But this python is very easy to die, and if it is not bred in captivity, it will die before it grows to adult length.

The Six-Fingered Man relied on the methods taught by the witch to raise many small snakes in captivity, and this Sky Swallowing Python fed on this small snake, and managed to survive, growing bigger and bigger, and then growing into the size we saw in that valley before.

Later, every time such a swallowing python was raised, the six-fingered people waited for it to molt, but once this swallowing python molted as an adult, the mountain would suffer a natural disaster, and the whole mountain would be flooded.

At that time, they didn't know that what they were raising was not a sky-swallowing python at all, but a snake that became a dragon and turned into a dragon. The natural disaster formed after the molting of the Sky Swallowing Python is just the dragon walking water caused by the dragon crossing the catastrophe mentioned in the legend.....
