"These murals are relatively new, and they are not as old as expected, at least not more than the age of the Zhao Kingdom." Qiu Shaohu looked at the drawing of the rock wall and pondered.

I don't know how long I walked along this road. The cave excavated is flat and stacked with bluestone bricks, which is as neat as an official road. The middle of the road is paved with large blocks of bricks and stones, the layers are tight, and the remaining gaps are filled with pebbles on both sides, becoming two small roads on the left and right, the main road and the auxiliary road are distinct, if you don't say that this is a cave in the deep mountains, say that this is the garden path of a large family, I'm afraid it is not an exaggeration.

This alone is not surprising. What's even more surprising is that on the left and right of the rock wall, there are exquisite stone murals, the smooth lines are like swimming dragons, the stacked clouds are like swallows flying, the edges are specially polished with grinding stones, the outline is like a painter's brush, and the whole is like pure and natural.

To dig such a cave, the manpower and material resources required are not only tens of millions, but I don't know who actually left such relics in the mountains of the capital. Such ingenious workmanship, if it is shown to the outside world, I am afraid it is enough to cause an uproar.

What Qiu Shaohu cares about the most is not only these. The murals are not only carved but also depicted in various colors. The blue color symbolizes the night sky, which is depicted on the dome of the cave, and the pure white of the clams is used to draw dazzling and dazzling points in the darkness, as a substitute for the stars. However, most of these stars are hidden behind the clouds represented by the moire, and it is difficult to see clearly.

It was through the paint that painted these starry sky that Qiu Shaohu judged that the time for these murals to be carved would not be too long, otherwise the colors on them would have faded long ago. But is there some kind of secret hidden in the starry sky depicted above?

Thinking of the warning on the island of Forgetfulness that "the starry sky is taboo", as well as the incompleteness of his own star map, and the fact that the current star map is incompatible with it, there may be some other discoveries here.

With such thoughts, Qiu Shaohu walked along the road all the way, and he didn't know how long it took. During this time, the road under his feet became wider and wider, and the murals on both sides began to change, in addition to those cloud patterns as decoration, there were also carved some divine blades. The momentum is majestic, as if the real fierce blade is directly embedded in the wall, making people dare not look at it directly.

The further you go, the more complex these murals become, and behind the blades are beasts, long lamps, flowers, fruit trees...... Little by little, just like the cloud pattern is just a thing that leads people from the heavenly realm, leading people to embark on the road of mortal dust and return to the thousands of purples and thousands of reds.

"On these stone walls, there are still traces of everlasting lanterns," Qiu Shaohu thought, "It proves that after these roads were built, they were just for people to walk, but no one has been here for a long time." ”

But unconsciously, Qiu Shaohu's footsteps stopped.

Because in front of me, there are many forks in the road.

Each road is intricate, and I don't know how many forks in the depths of the road have branched out, and I don't know where else it can lead.

More importantly, Qiu Shaohu saw a stone at the fork in the road in front of him.

The abrupt boulder, placed in the middle of the road, is so out of place with the carefully carved ground and rock walls around it that it looks like a short-legged duck somehow running in from a flock of cranes.

"This stone?" Qiu Shaohu could see that someone had obviously moved over on purpose, but what did it do?

Could it be that after repairing this road, in order to prevent horse running, a horse rejection stone was specially moved here?

With this kind of thought, Qiu Shaohu directly took out the star map and used the bright starlight to try to reproduce the original history of this stone.

Then he saw that in the same deep road in the former scene, a man found this stone out of nowhere, put it down, and sat on the stone, holding a pen in one hand and paper in the other, and began to trace the starry sky mural on the roof of the shed.

This stone was moved later, and someone else has been here before me!

Qiu Shaohu was secretly surprised, and wanted to see what this person was doing and where he walked in.

The image of the star map changes again, returning to the beginning when the other party appeared, showing that he came directly from the fork in the road on the far left.

Star maps are now not limited to a single perspective, but can see things that were not previously visible from the surrounding area from a more comprehensive picture.

Along the road that the other party had walked at the beginning, Qiu Shaohu went all the way forward, and the scene of the other party appearing here constantly flashed in the star map, like a chase that crossed time, until it reached the end of each other's hopes.

But from beginning to end, Qiu Shaohu couldn't see the other party's face clearly. No matter which image he is, the other party either bows his head or turns his back to him, as if he is deliberately avoiding him.

This also surprised Qiu Shaohu.

Suddenly, the figure in the image suddenly turned around and smiled at Qiu Shaohu.

This feeling is very weird, it stands to reason that the other party has left a long time ago, how can he smile at Qiu Shaohu, who has only appeared now.

Qiu Shaohu can regard this as a coincidence, but for some reason, he can keenly feel that the smile is directed at himself, as if he has traveled through a long time, and the other party can also discover his prying eyes on him, so he smiles indifferently.

In the darkness, the other party's face was still hidden, leaving only the smile.

Everything in the star map came to an abrupt end, like a flame being extinguished in the darkness, and everything fell silent. After Qiu Shaohu was surprised, he urged the star map again, trying to reproduce the original scene, but he could no longer see a single thing.

"The other party's realm is probably unbelievable," Qiu Shaohu thought to himself, "It is rumored that people who have reached a certain Dao realm can perceive some things involving themselves in the dark, and can even transcend the barrier of time. Perhaps from the very beginning, the other party had sensed that I was looking for traces of him today, so he covered up some of the most important things. ”

As soon as he thought of this, Qiu Shaohu couldn't help but think, "In this way, I wonder if she can also sense my thoughts about some of Lianmo's thoughts in the past?" ”

I usually don't think about it like this, but once I think about it, this matter is really scary enough, Qiu Shaohu immediately broke off this thought, and didn't dare to think about it anymore.

After regaining his attention, Qiu Shaohu noticed everything in front of him and couldn't help but be a little stunned.

It's still a dark cave, empty, but almost endless. There is no longer the crampedness just now, the darkness is like a kind of mist, evenly distributed in every small corner, so that people can't see through the boundaries in any direction.

If the road carved out of the mountains just now can be called ingenious, the huge caverns that are now in front of them are truly astonishing. It is almost doubtful that the entire Haoshan Mountain was hollowed out to create a miracle of such an unprecedented scale.

"Who created all this?" Qiu Shaohu was curious, and lit a flame rune, wanting to illuminate the surroundings and make his vision clearer.

The moment the brilliance of Mingyao was projected in all directions, in a trance, it was a little dazzling.

The resplendent reflection, like the underground heaven, stuffed all the glory into Qiu Shaohu's field of vision in the most exaggerated way. The cinnabar red walls, the gold powder and the bright glaze, as well as those vivid murals, the people in the picture are traveling, drinking, fishing, and the hustle and bustle of the market, just like the bustling street scene, and all of them are copied into this cave, so that all of them are like palaces in the downtown area, enjoying the joy and blessings of the world.

However.

"The feng shui here is not right." Qiu Shaohu felt a little strange, "Yin Qi is down, Yang Qi is up, there is a passage in front of the pattern, and there is no catharsis in the back, although it can lead to vitality rolling, but the turbidity is also blocked in it, which cannot be dissolved, a typical desperate phenomenon of entering and not leaving." The only explanation is that the people who built this place don't care about going out at all, and once they come in, they plan to stay here. ”

"This is a cemetery!"
