Chapter 243: Touching the Mechanism by Mistake
Although we were fast, this red-haired corpse, probably due to its dry body and light weight, was not slower than us at all, jumping three meters high, and almost caught Ye Lingwen a few times.
We followed Qin Yinian to a row of tall stone houses, although many buildings on both sides had collapsed, and the pile of rubble was overgrown with weeds, but in the middle there was a palace-like stone building standing intact, and the door that had opened a crack turned out to be stone. And the two stone doors are carved with strange patterns of human heads and snake bodies.
"Come in! Come on in! Qin Yinian pushed the big stone gate desperately in front of him.
I saw that the red-haired zombie behind me was close at hand, I could already smell the disgusting corpse stench, and I didn't have time to think about it, so I rushed into the stone door, I was the last to come in, as soon as I entered, the three of them desperately tried to close the stone door, but just when the stone door was about to close, a pitch-black and dry claw reached in, and grabbed the clothes on my chest, which was an inch long, pierced my clothes and inserted them into my flesh.
I already had a wound on my chest, and I just felt a terrible pain.
Nie Gu on the side was quick to move, swung the snake tooth sword, and cut off the arm of the red-haired corpse in one fell swoop, only to hear a strange scream outside the door, and the dry severed hand immediately retracted!
Immediately, the heavy stone door behind him slammed shut. The last rays of light from outside the door vanished, and the four of us were instantly plunged into darkness.
I broke out in a cold sweat, and I sat down on the ground against the stone door!
"Qingyang! Are you okay! "There was a voice of spirit patterns in the darkness.
I endured the pain and turned on the headlamp on my head! Whispered:
"I'm fine! Take out all the flashlights! ”
After a while, Qin Guangci also turned on the headlamp, and Nie Gu and Ye Lingwen also found the flashlight. When light finally came in the darkness, I turned up my headlamp to the maximum and looked around nervously, ready for the unexpected.
This stone house is huge. No less than five or six hundred square meters, with two rows of huge stone pillars on both sides, it looks like a royal palace hall! On the stone pillar, from different directions, there are also lamp slaves with strange human faces and snakes. What's even more creepy is that there are many dark coffins along the walls. I counted twelve of them, and all the coffins had been lifted, just as the people inside had climbed out on their own! Some coffins flipped on their sides by the corners. Some of them are still on top of another coffin!
The four of us were so nervous that we couldn't breathe, staring at the coffins motionlessly, the silence around us was eerily quiet, and I could even hear my own heartbeat
If the red-haired corpse crawls out of the coffin now, then we have nowhere to escape!
But after a long time, the coffins did not make any sound. Then I looked at the great hall, which was made of gray-black boulders, without even a single window, and looked very sturdy. There are murals carved on the walls on both sides of the main hall, and at the end of the main hall, there is a huge black statue, but it is too far away to be seen under the light of the flashlight.
We cautiously walked over to the frescoes and looked at them, which seemed to tell the story of a king who led his army to defeat the enemy and then returned to the court in triumph. Judging from the murals, it is obvious that this monarch is a woman, and there is only one queen recorded in the official history of China, Wu Zetian! Who is this queen? Could it be that this mural depicts a mythological story? The last few of the frescoes made me shudder to see that many people knelt before the queen and worshiped her reverently, but these people were holding babies in their hands. And behind this queen stood many monsters, monsters with wolf heads and human bodies, and monsters with human heads and snake bodies. In this way, this queen is a monster!
Although these murals are weird, but we can't see any clue, so a few of us came to the coffin again, these coffins don't know what material is made of, the whole body is jet black, the surface is smooth and spotless, as if someone has just wiped it, and the surface of the coffin does not see any symbols or pictures! At this time, I suddenly remembered the huge black coffin found in the cave of Gonger Peak! The material of the two is obviously the same. It's just that the coffin here is much smaller!
Spirit Pattern glanced at me, and I knew she must have remembered the big black coffin too! And the lifelike female corpse in the coffin!
Could it be that the female corpse has anything to do with this? So why didn't her coffin sit here? Who are the bodies of these coffins here, and where have they gone?
Qin Yinian said to me, "Let's look for it carefully!" Now that the flying knife has appeared, there will be no clues from our clansmen! ”
I understand his mood very well, this time I came to find the lost Xuan people, but I haven't found any clues so far, and the Mos has been lost.
Although this hall is large, but in addition to a dozen coffins, there is only one statue, I was frightened to look at each coffin carefully, fortunately, the coffin lid has been lifted, there is not a single corpse in the coffin, not even the remains!
We cautiously came to the statue, as if we were afraid of waking something up, everything in this hall is weird! It's a huge statue with a human head and a bird's body, and it's obviously a woman too! I even suspect that this is the queen on that mural! Look at the material of this statue is the same as those coffins, the whole body is black and smooth like jade! There are also a lot of strange symbols carved on the chest of the statue! It's just that I don't know one either!
Qin Yinian looked at the statue and said, "This should be called Jumang." It is recorded in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" that the oriental sentence mang, the body of a bird and the face of a human, and the dragon. Originally, I thought that the Classic of Mountains and Seas were some absurd myths and legends, but now it seems that there is really such a sentence that Mangcheng dragon, and the giant snake we encountered in the snowy mountains can not also be regarded as a dragon? ”
I was puzzled and asked, "So what the hell is this place?" Could it be the Great Wilderness or overseas mentioned in the Classic of Mountains and Seas? ”
Qin Yinian also looked confused and didn't speak! He muttered to himself, "I think I've seen these symbols somewhere!" ”
At this time, Ye Lingwen suddenly said on the side:
"Qingyang! Do you think that the face of this statue is a bit like the female corpse in the sarcophagus of Gonger Peak? ”
When she said that, she reminded me! I quickly took out my phone from my backpack, and I still had a photo of the female corpse in my phone. The phone has been turned off, I turned on the phone, and found those photos and the statue in front of me to compare, it is indeed very similar!
It seems that the female corpse is inextricably linked to this place, and the mysterious liquid robot is inseparable from the female corpse, two thousand years ago, what did the robot want to do when it brought Qin Yinian and them to the cave where the female corpse was? At this time, I suddenly remembered the metal disc that Qin Yinian found in the cave, I opened the photo album and looked, and sure enough: the symbol on the disc was exactly the same as the symbol on this statue.
But what does this mean? So what exactly is the disc for?
I thought about it with a pain in my head, and I didn't understand what the hell was going on! I couldn't help but touch the black statue with my hand.
I only felt that the tentacles were warm, and there was no coldness of the stone. I thought I had the illusion that even the best jade couldn't be hot! I was amazed and stroked around!
Ye Lingwen said worriedly on the side: "What's the matter?" Don't mess around! What if there is any mechanism? ”
"This statue turned out to be a hot ....."
Before I finished speaking, I felt like my feet were empty, and my whole body fell down!
