Chapter 120: Ancient Stone Carving, Hunting Undead Insects!
"Great demon?"
"Toad Fisherman?"
These words were tantamount to a thunderbolt that fell in the hearts of several people.
Rao was the first red girl to arrive here, and she also looked confused.
Her attention was completely attracted by the cave that swallowed the treacherous mist, and she never thought that there was a big demon in the cave.
I noticed something unusual about a few people.
Chen Yulou didn't delay and beckoned to them.
Then he carried a wind lantern and walked straight down the stone bridge formed by fossil trees.
Seeing this, the partridge whistle dared to delay, and handed the toad in his hand to a guy behind him.
He gestured to the spirit with his eyes.
Let her stay here for now.
Such a strange place, plus the water is full of naked female corpses.
For a little girl like her.
Staying and waiting is the best option.
The red girl hesitated, but decided to stay with her.
Besides, if they were all gone, she would be able to cope with it if it happened again.
Flickering lights.
There are only four people: Chen Yulou, Kunlun, Partridge Whistle and the old foreigner.
Quickly pass through the stone bridges by the light of the fire.
A moment later, the group reached the top of the cave.
If you listen with your ears pricked up, you can even hear the sound of dull thunderous breathing.
"It's ......"
Partridge Whistle's face sank slightly.
When Chen Yulou talked about the big demon just now, he specially sensed it with his qi.
But nothing was found.
But there was always a little doubt in my heart.
But at this moment, the sound of breathing was incessant, and he didn't dare to imagine what kind of amazing monster was lurking in the cave to make such a terrifying movement.
And not only him.
Kunlun and the old foreigner were obviously also aware of it.
The two of them subconsciously held the halberd and longbow, staring at them deadly, their expressions full of vigilance.
"This way."
But Chen Yulou just stretched out his hand and pointed to the left.
Between words.
The wind lantern in his hand also moved forward.
The light of the fire dispelled the darkness, and the three of them saw it...... There is a cliff in front of you.
Too long in a damp and cold environment.
The stone walls are as if they have been soaked in ink.
Even when the lights shine through, they only reflect a black glass-like color.
"Stone platform?"
Wait for your eyes to chase the lights around to the left.
The corners of the trio's eyes jumped again.
Between the deep cliffs, a stone platform has been clearly carved out.
You can faintly see one relief after another, the composition is complicated, just a glance, there is an ancient and reckless atmosphere.
I saw a few people's eyes lit up.
Chen Yulou did not delay, and as soon as he jumped, the person landed on the stone platform.
"Come and see."
The three did not hesitate.
The stone platform is about two or three meters square, and it is still easy to accommodate a few of them, and there is no sense of crowding at all.
However, no one paid any attention to this.
The mind is fascinated by the ancient reliefs.
The first thing that catches your eye is a tall figure.
He is tall, with black hair and a skull in his mouth, and his demeanor is majestic.
"Isn't this the mountain god from the previous temple?"
The old foreigner frowned, almost blurting out.
Previously, in the valley, in the mountain temple, the shrine was dedicated to such a clay fetal god.
There is no skull except in the mouth.
The rest of the details are pretty much identical.
"It's it."
Chen Yulou nodded and affirmed.
As soon as the words fell.
Nearby, there was the sound of a partridge whistle in confusion.
"It's still not right, Brother Chen...... You look at the degree of weathering of this relief, there are at least three or four thousand years, and the king was born in the era of Emperor Wu, and it is only two thousand years at most, which seems to be the wrong time. ”
As the leader of this generation.
Partridge Whistle has seen no less antique artifacts than him.
Although he is bent on finding pearls, his eyesight is many times better than those in the antique shop.
A finger touched the relief marks.
You can tell the approximate era.
I dare not say three or four thousand years, but at least there are relics of the Spring and Autumn Period.
In between, there is also the Warring States and the pre-Qin period.
The time span is too large.
"Brother Dao, have you ever thought about it...... Perhaps, the king is the one who occupies the magpie's nest. ”
Rumble!
In a short word.
But it's like an initiation.
Let Partridge Whistle freeze in place.
"Are you saying that this stone platform is not owned by the king at all, but is a more ancient existence?"
"Chances are."
Chen Yulou nodded.
"Brother Dao still remember the inscription of Zhenling, when there was a dispute in ancient Yunnan, King Xian took away a group of people loyal to him and came to Shalong Mountain."
"Then he said, "With him ten thousand men."
"But the construction of this mausoleum has taken more than 100,000 people, and Brother Dao has never thought about where this extra person comes from?"
Chen Yulou had a sneer in his eyes.
In the words, there is a chilling atmosphere.
"Captives, slaves, ......"
The partridge whistle is just a little clear.
In ancient times, in addition to the requisition of people's husbands, most of the rest were either prisoners of war or slaves.
The ancient Dian Kingdom was originally a small country.
At the same time as him, it existed on the border of southern Yunnan, which was also the ancient country of Mengmao.
However, they are too far apart geographically.
Therefore, there is only one possibility left, and the slaves who participated in the construction of the tomb of the king at that time were the Yi people who had lived here for generations.
It's just that it was broken by the king of sacrifice.
had to be taken prisoner.
If this is the case, then the altar here is also left by the ancestors of the Yi people.
"I see......"
Partridge Whistle's thoughts raced, and when he came back to his senses.
It is Kunlun and the old foreigners, because they have never seen the inscription of the Zhenling spectrum, and at this moment they are like listening to the book of heaven.
"Look again, if there are any other reliefs."
Hearing this, several people looked down again.
It's just that the reliefs on those sides are so worn-out and so disorderly that it's hard to tell the order.
"Shopkeeper, over here."
It was still Kunlun's sharp eyes, and when the halberd in his hand swept through the dust accumulated on the stone platform, another relief was found.
Seeing this, several people worked together.
Remove heavy sand and gravel soil.
Soon, a picture scroll with a different style was presented in front of everyone.
I saw a group of natives with feathers on their upper bodies and heads, taking a small boat, crossing the big lake, and appearing all the way under the cliff.
Seeing this, several people immediately understood.
What happened in the relief was just under them.
"Keep watching......"
Chen Yulou carried the wind lantern and walked to the left.
Soon.
A man wearing a horned helmet appears.
I saw him standing on a stone platform.
Judging by his attire, he should be a leader or a priest.
Commanding the natives in the water, hunting the toads in the lake, tying them with ropes and throwing them in the cabin.
Not much.
The group sailed to the mouth of the cave.
It's different from what they're seeing right now.
Black smoke was billowing out of the cave.
"Black?"
"Shouldn't it be a red mist?"
Kunlun looked surprised, when he crossed the stone bridge just now, the red mist that floated up even made him feel like blood was flowing in the air.
"Maybe it's because the paint has faded, and the color has disappeared."
Chen Yulou was not too surprised by this.
Antiquities from thousands of years ago.
That is, it is hidden in this underground cave.
If it is placed in the outside world, I am afraid that even the traces have been wiped out.

"They're fishing for demons too!"
Wait until the next stone carving is cleaned up.
The situation depicted in the picture makes people feel shocked.
I saw those natives under the order of the priest, with long bamboo poles to carry the hunted toads, carefully going deep into the cave.
"It's not like a demon fisherman...... I want a mysterious sacrifice! ”
Partridge Whistle shook her head.
Point to the next picture.
I don't know how long later, the bamboo pole that went deep into the cave was dragged back again, but the toad that was still alive a moment ago would have become like the dead roots of an old tree.
A pair of eyes stared out, almost falling out.
Lifeless, with a dead face.
"Will it ...... The cave dwells those mountain gods worshipped by the Yi people? ”
The old foreigner deserves to follow the partridge whistle to the north and south for many years.
Although there are few words, almost every sentence can be to the point.
At this moment, as soon as his guess came out, Partridge Whistle's deep eyes couldn't help but light up.
"It's possible!"
Swallowing secretly, Partridge Whistle subconsciously looked at Chen Yulou.
"If that's the case, Brother Chen, isn't the movement we heard just now coming from the mountain god?"
Legend has it that Lu Dongbin became an immortal and rose up to write a poem.
It only mentions 'eight hundred years of enlightenment'.
The six-winged centipede in Bottle Mountain, which has lived for six or seven hundred years, has already made them incredible.
If that's the case.
So what kind of old demon should the mountain god in this cave be?
The king also asks for a fart fairy, and the ready-made demon fairy is here.
Kunlun and the old foreigner obviously thought of this, but at this moment, the hearts of the two of them had been shocked to the point of being beyond measure, and they didn't dare to talk nonsense at all.
Three or four thousand years.
How could this be?
Live with the sky and live forever, that's it, right?
If a person in the world can live for a hundred years, he is already a human being, an immortal among people.
"Scared?"
Chen Yulou's gaze swept over the three of them and sneered.
"It's not that I'm afraid, it's ...... Brother Chen, if it is really a mountain god, then wouldn't we be killing a god? ”
Partridge Whistle shook her head.
"It's not just right to slaughter the gods, if you want to be on the road, it doesn't matter if he is a god or a demon."
Chen Yulou smiled.
This is more like talking to yourself.
Unlike the three people in front of them, they are cultivating the Dao, but they are walking the path of eternal life.
To put it mildly, none of the immortal seekers in the ghost blowing lantern world seem to have ended well.
Dedication to the king, sealing the ancient ......
It even includes Qin Shi Huang, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and Huangpizi.
The ruins of Bottle Mountain can be traced back to the pre-Qin period.
Send a priest into the mountain to burn the immortal elixir.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty heard that the ancient Dian State had a phoenix gall that could make people immortal, so he sent someone to ask for it.
As for the yellow-skinned man.
is desperately trying to become a fairy.
It's a pity...... No one can do it.
All of them were turned into dry bones in the desolate graves.
Although he has cultivated Aoki's longevity skills, it is also difficult to take that step.
"This ......"
Chen Yulou's words are even self-talking.
But it still fell clearly into the ears of the three people.
Including the partridge whistle, his face changed.
"Today, I know Brother Chen's ambitions."
"Yang admires!"
After a long time, Partridge Whistle secretly sighed and clenched his fists in admiration.
Because even he never thought that this person's determination to ask for immortals would be so firm.
And his original intention in cultivating the Tao at the beginning was to exorcise the demon curse in his body.
I didn't think much about it.
"Brother Dao?"
Chen Yulou also came back to his senses.
He glanced at them with a smile.
"Even if it is Brother Chen's order, even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, Yang is willing to break through."
The partridge whistle gritted its teeth and said in a deep voice.
His voice fell.
Kunlun and the old foreigner on the side also nodded emphatically.
Looked at.
Chen Yulou couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.
This is also the end of the picture in the stone carving.
Since thousands of years ago, those Yi people were able to sacrifice undead insects with toads.
Then it shouldn't be a big problem to fish it today.
"In this case, then don't waste time, go back to the stone bridge to prepare."
"Good!"
The group quickly turned back.
Briefly told the guy on the stone bridge about the situation in the cave.
However, the paragraph about the mountain god is deliberately vague.
It was only said that it was to hunt demons.
After all, in these years, people don't feel much about corpses, after all, what they eat is the food of the dead, but the gods and ghosts are jealous from the heart.
Hearing this, the thieves did not hesitate at all.
On the contrary, they were all excited.
After all, the scene of killing pythons in the lake a few days ago is still vivid.
This Yunnan and her entourage are the right ones.
What follows the shopkeeper is happy.
If you stay on the mountain, you won't see those legendary mountain spirits and water demons for the rest of your life.
Not to mention hunting demons.
The group wiped their guns and sharpened their knives, waiting to fish out the big demon in the cave and slaughter it.
You might even get a taste of youkai meat.
And for the sake of insurance, Kunlun and the old foreigner went down to the lake again and caught three or four toads.
Wait until everything is ready.
The stone bridge has been hung with wind lanterns, illuminating the surroundings as bright as day, not to mention, but also reflecting the excited faces.
Soon.
A bamboo raft slowly drifting across the lake.
Kunlun held a penny in his hand, standing at the head of the row, his face was calm, and his eyes could not hide the murderous aura.
On the penny head hangs a toad like a calf.
It seemed to sense its fate.
His mouth was wide open, and his expression was terrified.
It struggled desperately in mid-air, but unfortunately in order to prevent it from escaping, it had already been tied up into zongzi.
Wait until the bamboo raft approaches the outside of the hole.
Kunlun looked back at Chen Yulou, who nodded silently.
Sensing the shopkeeper's thoughts, he did not hesitate any longer, raised the penny with both hands, and stretched the toad into the hole little by little.
See this scene.
Everyone on the stone bridge subconsciously opened their eyes wide, and they didn't even dare to breathe too loudly, for fear of missing any scene, and for fear that they would alarm the big demon in the cave.
Whoop -
It's less than a moment.
In a cave that was originally quite silent.
It's like setting off a landslide and the ground cracking.
The rumbling movement continued.
"Here ......
"Kunlun, steady!"
Although that strange red mist can isolate the divine consciousness to a certain extent.
But Chen Yulou's ears are amazing.
At once, I could hear that the undead insect in the cave was obviously awakened by the breath of the toad.
"Pull back!"
Word by word.
Kunlun is also a ruthless man, and there is no fear in his face.
Even as the thunderous sound got closer.
Not much.
The sound became the clanging of iron armor, mixed with a heavy breath.
Seems...... There was a snake python or elephant in armor, rushing desperately from inside the cave.
The red mist at the entrance of the cave became thicker and thicker with the sound.
Bright and dark flickering.
"Kunlun, come up!"
Until the sound of the iron armor staggered reaches the extreme.
Chen Yulou shook the rope in his hand suddenly, Kunlun did not hesitate, threw down the penny, grabbed the hook rope with his backhand, and jumped up.
Rumble!
Almost as soon as he left the raft.
A hideous face with a golden mask surged out of the red mist!
