Chapter 147: Corpse Mushroom
After walking through the passage of figurines, Ye Guangci saw that I was frightened, afraid of an accident, so he walked to the front again, but the three of us didn't walk for long, and he seemed to have discovered a new situation.
"There are murals on this stone wall"
As soon as Ye Guangci said this, I shone the flashlight on the stone walls on both sides, and sure enough, from here, there are some murals on the left side of the stone wall, these murals are about one meter long and two meters wide, and they are all chiseled, so they are relatively intact. So we looked at the murals and walked slowly forward.
At the beginning, there were some strange patterns, saying that the text was not like the text, and it was not like the picture, but the carving was very fine, and Ye Guangci shook his head again and again when he saw it, saying that he had never seen it! I had to ask Ye Lingwen to take pictures of these murals with his mobile phone. Then there is the first mural, which depicts an army besieging the city, the walls of which have been destroyed and the city is on fire. The second mural depicts an emperor-like man, surrounded by a group of soldiers armed with halberds. And a general with a sword was pointing his sword at the emperor. One of the courtiers beside the emperor used his body to block the emperor, apparently to protect his emperor. The third mural depicts the courtier bowing to the emperor, while the sword-wielding general and his soldiers are still standing nearby. The fourth mural depicts the emperor lying on the ground, as if dead, and the courtier kneeling beside him. And the surrounding soldiers have disappeared. The fifth mural depicts a large group of soldiers marching, led by several generals on horseback, one of whom is looking back with a box in his arms. The sixth painting shows three generals sitting around a table in a large tent with a large box on it. The seventh depicts a detachment of men and horses besieging the city. The eighth depicts a group of people digging rocks on a towering mountain.
These eight murals seem to tell the story of a change of dynasty, with rebels storming the imperial city, the emperor dying, and ministers dying or fleeing. China's thousands of years of history are actually repeating this simple story over and over again. But the box in the back, and the road to open the mountain, I don't know what it means. Is it difficult to chisel the stone road we see on the mountainside of Longtou Mountain?
"Look at the clothes and weapons, this should be before the Western Jin Dynasty, nearly two thousand years ago," I said to Ye Guangci and Ye Lingwen.
Because I'm interested in history, I know a little bit about them. Before the Spring and Autumn Period, due to the large use of chariots, in order to cooperate with chariots in battle, Ge was also widely popularized. From the late Spring and Autumn Period, due to the expansion of the scale of warfare, the chariot with extremely high terrain requirements has gradually become unsuitable for the complex battlefield environment, the rise of infantry has replaced the position of chariot, and the halberd has become more practical, until the Wei and Jin dynasties were replaced by spears. The soldiers on this mural are holding halberds, and their costumes are quite similar to those of the Qin and Han dynasties, so I say it was before the Western Jin Dynasty.
Before the Western Jin Dynasty, there were three kingdoms, the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Western Han Dynasty, and Wang Mang's new dynasty in the middle. There are many changes of dynasty! It's hard to say which dynasty this mural is in.
"I'm quite interested in that box, I don't know what kind of treasure it is," Ye Lingwen said, pointing to the person holding the box on the mural.
"According to my guess, it should be that after the emperor died, these people stole the box or were entrusted by the emperor to bring the box out, and then found a place to hide it. Could it be that the contents of the box have something to do with your background? I said to them.
"I also feel this way, if that's the case, then this cave won't be as calm as it is now, we have to be very careful if we go inside!" Ye Guangci said with a frown.
Some of Ye Guangci's words in the dark made me feel nervous in my heart!
"Ah, what is that?" Ye Ling suddenly shouted, Ye Guangci and I were taken aback, we were already highly nervous, but when she suddenly screamed like this, it was really scary and scared away.
"I said can you calm down, don't make a fuss all the time, have you seen fewer strange things along the way?" I was half frightened by her, and said to her helplessly.
Ye Lingwen didn't pay attention to me, just looked up. I also looked up, it turned out that I don't know when a lot of mushroom-like things appeared above the stone walls on both sides of this dark passage, clustered all over the stone walls on both sides, and when I moved the light of the flashlight, the mushrooms could still emit a faint blue light, which was very beautiful!
It is not uncommon for mushrooms to grow in dark and damp passages, but how did these mushrooms grow when there are stones and no soil all around this dark passage?
When I was thinking about this question, my heart suddenly trembled, and I suddenly felt bad, since we entered the mountain, we have encountered flying ants, centipedes, all of which can emit light, and now this mushroom can also emit light blue fluorescence, which is definitely not a good sign!
"Don't look at it! Hurry up, hurry up, go away! I shouted to them.
The two of them also seemed to be aware of this problem, and immediately walked down the stone stairs without speaking, Ye Guangci was in front, I was in the middle, and Ye Lingwen was behind, so the three of us walked about a hundred meters before slowing down slightly.
At this time, I looked up and saw that there were no more mushrooms above the passage that I had just seen, and the surrounding area was pitch black, and there seemed to be nothing abnormal, so I relaxed a little.
"Brother Ye, we've been walking for so long, we should have gone down from the top of the mountain to the mountainside, why haven't we seen a head yet!?" I said to Ye Guangci in front.
"It should be fast, persistence is victory!" Ye Guangci's voice came from behind me.
Hearing Ye Guangci's voice, I suddenly felt that every hair stood up, and a sense of terror that I had never felt before spread all over my body from head to toe, Ye Guangci has been walking in the front since he entered the dark passage, only me and Ye Lingwen changed positions in the place where I saw the glowing mushroom just now, Ye Lingwen ran to the back, I ran to the middle, and the front is still Ye Guangci, I remember very clearly, why did he run behind me, so who is the person in front of me? Ye Lingwen? When do they change positions? Even if they change places, I can't be in the middle who doesn't know!
And Ye Guangci heard my voice in front of him, why did he answer my question very calmly? Doesn't he feel scared?
If the person at the front was Ye Lingwen, then she heard her father talking in the back just now, and according to her character, she would definitely stop and ask for an understanding. But now the person in front of me seems to have nothing happened.
I held back the fear in my heart and didn't speak, because I suddenly felt scared and unfamiliar with the two people around me, maybe the person in front was no longer Ye Lingwen, and the person behind was not Ye Guangci. In this cave deep into the belly of the mountain, I can't see anything around me except darkness, and since the location can change without my knowledge, of course everything else can change!
I wanted to stop and shine a flashlight in their faces, but I didn't have the courage. If these two people around me are really not Ye Guangci and Ye Lingwen, it would be better for me not to startle the snake
Just when I was panicking, suddenly a pair of hands reached out from behind and grabbed my neck, and the more and more tightly they pinched. I was so frightened that I struggled, I shone the flashlight behind me, and a gray face flashed in the light, and what I saw was a figurine, a living figurine, with a weird smile on the corner of its mouth, and its eyes were all whites without black eyes. I was so scared that I almost screamed.
