Chapter 181 Poor Qi (Asking for a Subscription and Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Qian Yan just wanted to say a few words casually, but was interrupted by a voice from outside.
It sounds like there should be a wall away from them, and when she looked in the direction of the wall where the sound came from, she found that it was a whole stone wall, and there were also frescoes on it, without any color, and it looked like it was outlined with black charcoal.
Like the style of the dome, it is a simple line outline, but it is very vivid, so that people can see at a glance what is being drawn.
The dense lines on it are combined to create a migration map.
In the painting, several people walk in front, carrying boxy boxes, presumably salutes or belongings, and in the middle part is a chair with a round umbrella, which is carried back and forth on the shoulders like a palanquin.
The seat had a human figure drawn on it, and it was supposed to be the leader, so it was carried away.
Left and right and rear were followed by a dense crowd of people, who were supposed to be retinues, with spear-like weapons in their hands.
Behind those people is a big river, as for how to see it? Because there are two patterns like mountain peaks drawn on both sides, two lines are drawn in the middle, and there are some wavy lines in the middle, so it looks like the flow of water.
The meaning should be that they migrated from the other side of the river to the other side, and there were some wild beasts painted on the other side of the river, probably to express that there was danger behind them, so they would migrate to another place.
The person who painted this painting is quite talented, and even these details are drawn in a few strokes, and the painting is very detailed.
With this talent, if he were born in the next life, he might even become a painter or something.
The area of this painting is quite large, accounting for almost one-third of the stone wall, and you can see the whole picture at a glance, and it is not difficult to guess the content of the painting, so Qian Yan probably looked at the content of the painting, and listened to the movement on the other side of the wall.
There was no one talking, only a few deep and shallow footsteps, heavy or light, the only thing that was unified was that they were all a little sluggish, like the sound of an old man walking.
She thought that the people over there should be the patriarch of the Prayer Village and those clan elders, today is the last day of the sacrifice, and they should be placing sacrifices over there.
The old lady said before that only the patriarch and the clan elder can go to the altar for this sacrifice every three years, and even the juniors in their family are not qualified to enter.
It's also very hard to think about, they are all seventy or eighty years old, and they still have to carry sacrifices up the mountain, and I don't know if these people will be able to walk after three years.
In fact, Qian Yan guessed that this entry into the altar should be going down into the ground, and the appearance of this stone room does not look like it is on the ground.
It's cool and shady, and it looks like it's underground or in the belly of a mountain.
The stone wall in this is not built up one by one, but is clearly excavated on a whole boulder, and there are only notches on it, and there are no traces of splicing.
But if it was underground, it was most likely possible, and it was the grove where they had stopped to rest.
Chou Chou also said that there was an old tomb in the ground over there, and there was an altar in it, and he also saw the prayer village in it.
The grove was just outside the village, and it made sense that it was connected to the village.
It's just that I don't know if there is such a huge stone under the ground, in Qian Yan's mind, it is unlikely that there is such a huge stone under the relatively flat underground, it should exist in the belly of the mountain.
At the very least, it must be as high as the mountain wall on the edge of the village before, and the back must be solid, otherwise it will not be possible to dig such a large stone chamber.
While listening to the movement outside, Qian Yan continued to observe this stone room, except for the stone platform in the center that was more than half a person high, there was no such thing.
There are only two murals, except for the stone wall just now, and then there is the dome above.
Not on the other wall. Both. from both walls. There is a small stone niche on the left and right stone walls, in which oil lamps are placed, which are now lit
of, although not as bright as a candle, it is better to burn for a long time.
I don't know what kind of oil was used in the oil lamp, and there was a pungent smell in the air, so choking that she couldn't help but sneeze.
On the stone platform in the middle there was a semicircular copper pot on top of it, which was set on a shelf of the same material, and in it was placed some kind of firewood burning, only the yellow flame and no smoke.
The lighting in this comes more from the fire, and although the fire burns strongly, it does not make people feel hot. It should be too shady and very well ventilated, so I don't feel like the air is thin.
Tilt Yan went directly to the back of the stone platform, although the front was only more than half a person high, but it was straight up and down, it was not easy to go up to the top of the stone platform, then there should be steps to go up.
Sure enough, there were five steps behind the stone platform, which were a bit narrow, only sixty or seventy centimeters, and only one person could go up.
walked up directly, stood on the stone platform with both feet, and a layer of lines slowly emerged on the stone platform.
It's amazing, as if there is a feeling, when she stepped on the stone steps, nothing appeared on it as soon as she stepped on the stone platform, and it was thought to be a miracle when she was seen.
Qian Yan looked at the image that was getting clearer and clearer, like a tiger, but with horns on its head, hair on its body standing up one by one, and a pair of wings......
Isn't this image one of the four fierce beasts? , She has seen her father's collection of mountains and seas, although she does not remember all the fierce beasts, monsters, and beasts, and a few famous ones still have an impression.
Especially the four fierce beasts, which are too famous.
With the image of Qiqi here, it can be determined that it is a tomb, and it seems that the so-called ancestor should be dead, but I don't know who is using these methods now.
This image is clearly not the same as the frescoes on the dome and walls.
Those seem to be painted casually in people's spare time, and this one is obviously carved by a craftsman.
This carving is not ordinary, the hair on Qi Qi's body is distinct, his expression is even more lifelike, and his eyes are wide, as if he can choose someone to eat at any time.
Tilt Yan took a few steps to the left, and found that those eyes were still staring at her, and took a few steps to the right, still like that!
Qian Yan stopped, thought for a moment, and tried to look in the direction that Qi Qi's eyes were looking at.
Find a good angle and look at the stone wall behind her, the wall is bare, there is nothing, Qian Yan blinked, it seems that she may have thought wrong, this is not a clue to activate the mechanism.
"Girl, have you found anything?"
Startled by the sudden voice, she turned her head to look at the young man below the stone platform.
He didn't say anything before, she almost forgot about his existence, and the male duck's throat suddenly came from the silent space, which frightened her.
frowned and wanted to say not to be scary, but when he saw the other party's wet eyes, he couldn't stop talking about him.
I thought in my heart, I can't complain that he will be chosen, just this look, it's really a bit of a male and female taste, if it weren't for the fact that his skin was a little dark, he would be a little boy from a family who didn't know anything about the world.
Seeing that Qian Yan ignored him, the young man thought that he hadn't introduced himself yet, so he took the initiative to say again: "My name is Yin Kejing, what do you call the girl?" ”
Qian Yan thought about it, but still replied: "My surname is Yang, you can call me Miss Yang." ”
Although the other party is not very old, he is also a foreign man, so don't tell him his name casually.
Although you may not be able to go out later, you should pay attention to it.
Yin Kejing said with kindness: "Miss Yang, have you found any problems, is there anything different on this platform?" ”
It was standing underneath, so it didn't see the pattern on the table.
Qian Yan beckoned to him, "Come up and take a look for yourself." ”
Yin Kejing obediently climbed the steps, and when he stood on the stone platform, he almost shouted.
Hurriedly covered his mouth, retracted his feet on the pattern, stepped back, looked carefully, and whispered to Qian Yan: "What kind of monster is this?" I've never seen you, but I'm glad I would have been scared to death if I were alone. ”
Qian Yan was amused by his exaggerated facial expressions, and explained to him: "This is Qi Qi, the legend is that he is a descendant of the Western Emperor Shaohao, who was exiled by Shun and moved to the four descendants because of his evil faith and loyalty, and Chaos, Han Zhu, and Gluttony
"The Classic of Mountains and Seas, the North Classic of the Sea" records: Qiqi looks like a tiger, the size is like a cow, has a pair of wings, and the hair on his body is like a thorn on the body of a hedgehog.
It is said that it is very fond of running around, it hunts and eats human beings on weekdays, and can understand human language, and when it knows that someone is arguing, it will come over to judge people, and then eat the upright person, and if it knows that someone is faithful, it will eat that person's nose, and when it knows that someone is evil or bad, it will hunt wild beasts and give them to that person, and it is a vicious beast with a completely upside down concept of good and evil.
But there is also a beneficial side to Qiqi. In a ritual called "Dada", there are twelve kinds of fierce beasts that devour evil spirits and become twelve gods or twelve beasts, and Qiqi is one of them, so it will be carved or carved into a statue and placed in the tomb to drive away evil spirits. ”
Yin Kejing's eyes widened, and he said with a look of surprise: "Miss Yang, you are really knowledgeable!" I didn't know that there was such a legend in this world, and I really saw it. ”
After speaking, his face changed and he said: "You said that this poor Qi was placed in the tomb, doesn't that mean that the two of us are in the tomb?" Isn't this an altar? ”
Qian Yan nodded, "That's what I guessed, the altar may also be in the tomb, I just don't know when your old ancestor will come out." ”
When Yin Kejing heard this, he trembled all over, and looked left and right in fright, as if he was afraid that the old ancestor would suddenly come out.
Qian Yan looked funny, so she didn't deliberately say these things to tease him, "Let's go down first, there should be some other ceremony, let's just wait." ”
And let him get up and rest for a while. Could it be the so-called old ancestor? Not that. First descendant of the royal family. Or that old ancestor is. The embodiment of an ancient murderer. Chou Chou said that in their heyday, they could be transformed into human form. What if the other party is walking in human form? Another one to say. That inside the myth and legend. Nor are the descendants of heaven necessarily human. It seems that it was played in the TV series. Do blows or vixens? What if the king and the vixen gave birth to two little vixens? I didn't have a baby, just in case. Nothing. Do you have it, but it's not recorded in history? In the past, there were other spirits in the harem, and it was not necessarily the quality. It was a strange chant coming from outside. I am Silver City. It's obviously an old boy. A group of old boys are here. Didi's singing. The sound is not good, but the rhythm is involuntary. Attracted to or even obsessed with weight. And some neat no? What I can't understand is the multi-step voice that is not angry, and it feels like they should be singing something together. Actually, what kind of temperature do you have? What specific steps are you still taking? The voice is very neat and has a great rhythm with your singing. Perfectly combined. It turns out that it's not just a simple attack to come here.,It's really interesting these few times.,Suddenly I feel it.。 can be adjusted for fluctuations in space. It's kind of similar to how he felt before and when he looked into that spatial passage. What are the surrounding airboxes? Waves, round and round hind legs. Then the scene in front of me suddenly changed, it was not the same as before, it was just a try. To him or to him or to him in everything or in everything? The setting is completely different. There was one hanging from the top, and a few were worn down, and yesterday they were hung on top. The oil lamps looked like saucers, and the oil lamps were lit. A little bit of painful light, which may not be too inconspicuous. What time does it go to work on the top? What is this? 's public grain, even three more than before. Mine also has a conscience. We have to measure the volume of goods. And because the goods are not as beating, they are more stable. The recognition is no longer that rough recognition, but has become smooth, jade-like. Silvery white anyway, these lights are the light, the chandelier light, which is even brighter, and the frescoes from the top have disappeared. Try to bend and bend to a very symmetrical pattern, and it seems that the brothers are mysterious and tall in an instant. Next to the direction of yes, there are a lot of curses. Boxes, oops! My water has arrived. My house in Midtown has incense burners and stuff. They are all very big and have beautiful shapes. It's like the inside of the house, and it's even lit like green smoke, it's really not. Under the shape of the crane is the platform brother. That's okay, right at the foot of that, you're colliding with each other. The cigarette lit in my husband is also very beautiful from there, and even the magic of the fragrant river, I am wound up. There should be a corner of my dear who was grasped by this sudden change. I glanced at him today and didn't say anything. Instead, I continued to walk forward, because I used to try ten coins every day, and the person who washed my hair in front of me jumped on and opened a division. Because you're not closed, you're open. It's just that it's saved to see,
