Chapter 315: Tomb Murals
Although Taishi Xiaomeng's hands and upper body were tied, in order to retain his walking ability, Xu Weimo did not tie Taishi Xiaomeng's whole body, but left two legs.
"Didn't you really observe the environment here with your eyes? This road is indeed the way you came, but the surrounding walls are obviously different from just now!" Taishi Xiaomeng said, staring at the murals on the wall. It's hard for people with sight to believe that someone can navigate a maze with their sense of smell, and vice versa. Xu Wei looked at Taishi Xiaomeng suspiciously, and then asked these people under him, "Have any of you paid attention to these murals?"
Everyone shook their heads, in fact, it is reasonable to think about it carefully, a normal person often relies on his eyes to distinguish things first, and then other senses. But if it's a dog, the first thing it relies on to distinguish things must be its nose. Taishi Xiaomeng does not have a strong sense of smell, so in this environment, he can only use his eyes to remember what is around him. And Xu Weimo and them, because they have a keen sense of smell, they will ignore what their eyes see.
The sense of smell has completely lost its use in this situation, and Xu Weimo and the only person they can rely on now is Taishi Xiaomeng. He motioned with his eyes to untie Taishi Xiaomeng first, and then said calmly: "Your name is Taishi Xiaomeng! You definitely don't want to be trapped here! Find a way to take us out, and I'll let you go, how about it?"
Taishi Xiaomeng moved his wrist and said, "Hmph, are you begging me? It wasn't like this before, wait until I'm hungry and can't do it! Isn't this what you said?" Xu Weimo smiled and said: "Those who know the times are Junjie, isn't the situation changing now!"
Taishi Xiaomeng sat on the ground and said, "Then I am very responsible to tell you, I have no way to get out! The environment here has changed, and its purpose is to trap the people who come here." ”
"But when did we touch the mechanism, why didn't we notice the change in the environment?" Colormane began to feel a sense of fear for this ancient tomb, he had never encountered such a strange ancient tomb after so many years of robbing the tomb.
Just when Xu Weimo and his group began to panic, Taishi Xiaomeng was thinking about whether the strange phenomenon in the ancient tomb was related to the inexplicable loss of the grassland? Then he began to study the murals on the stone wall, trying to find some clues from it.
At the same time, in other parts of the ancient tomb, Ren Xiao and they had also come here, Wanyan Danqing handed over his mount to Ren Xiao, and the white horse took Ren Xiao and them to the crack, and then several people found the rope left by Xu Weimo and them, and followed the rope into the ancient tomb. I was going to follow Xu Weimo and their trails to find Taishi Xiaomeng, but I didn't expect that before I could take a few steps, the traces left behind would disappear without a trace.
"Feng San, it's all your fault! It's not far from the exit just now, we might be able to get out, but now it's okay, how can we get out? Even if I die, I don't want to die in this kind of place!" Under the leadership of Feng Shang, Ren Xiao and the others were trapped not long after, Nangong Chu Yan complained endlessly about Feng Shang, "This is the road you lead? It's a dead end at all!"
Feng Shang was too tired to sit on the ground and gasp for breath, and said, "It's useless if you kill me now, let's find a way to get out!" Then he looked at Ren Xiao and said, "They're not all."
Said that you are the chosen one, you will not get lost no matter what, you take us out quickly!" Ren Xiao was also observing the mural on the side, and after getting lost, he began to lead everyone forward, but after so long, he still didn't go out. Qiu Xie Ding conjured up a steel knife and sharpened it on the stone, and said: "Feng San, have you ever heard of a kind of teammate, even if it is an immortal, you can't take it, do you know what everyone calls them?" Feng Shang shook his head, Nangong didn't think about it, and blurted out: "Pig teammate!"
Feng Shang shrugged his shoulders, anyway, it's already like this, you can just say it! Nangong saw Qiu Xie Ding sharpening his knife, and asked curiously: "Qiu Xie Ding, what are you sharpening your knife for at this time?" Feng Shang also felt curious, and looked over.
"I've heard adults say before that in addition to antiques and treasures in the ancient tomb, there is something that must be paid attention to!" Qiu Xie Ding said intently sharpening his knife without raising his head. "What is it?" Nangong asked.
"Zongzi!" Qiu Xie Ding stopped what he was doing, looked at Nangong intently and said. "Zongzi, what zongzi?" Nangong didn't understand, but Feng Shang remembered some bad memories, only to feel cold all over his body, and his teeth began to tremble.
"Zongzi is a zombie!" Ren Xiao was unreassuring by their argument about the contents of the mural, and said impatiently. Nangong's face turned pale instantly after hearing that Zongzi was a zombie, and his breathing became unruly, and he asked tremblingly: "You're not kidding, are you!
Feng Shang saw that Nangong was very scared, he was overjoyed, and said seriously: "This is true, I have seen the Maoshan Taoist priest chase out the corpses with my own eyes, those zombies have been jumping and jumping there with expressionless faces, and they don't feel pain, no matter how you attack them, they don't feel it." The more Feng Shang said that Nangong was more frightened, and he hurriedly looked at Qiu Xie Ding and asked, "Do you have a way to deal with that kind of thing?"
Qiu Xie Ding shook his head and said, "No! That's why I sharpened my knife, hoping it would be useful for a while!"
"It's over, it's over, what should we do now? We're going to die here!" Nangong began to think in fragmented mode. Ren Xiao was a little impatient and said, "If you have nothing to do, come and help me study these murals, okay?"
Qiu Xie Ding glanced up, although he couldn't understand it, but he believed in Ren Xiao's approach, and asked: "What is depicted on this mural?" Ren Xiao shook his head and said: "The murals here are limited, I can't guess at all, the only thing that can be seen is that the carving here is a war, it seems to be a large-scale cavalry battle!" Qiu Xie Ding looked at the dense villains above, a little dizzy, and said: "I seem to have a bit of a dense phobia! These things make my scalp numb!"
Feng Shang also joined in the mural, and after looking at it for a while, he said: "This seems to be an example of winning more with less, you see, a small wave of cavalry can chase such a large group of enemies, isn't it a bit unbelievable." Ren Xiao followed Feng Shang's train of thought to admire this mural, and found that it was indeed the case, he nodded and said: "Could it be that all the cavalry of this squad are brave and good at fighting?"
Seeing that no one paid attention to her, Nangong also followed over to figure out the murals, and she said: "Why haven't you seen the costumes of this small group of cavalry, I don't want to go to the Hun barbarians, and it's not the grassland."
People, then who are they? On the contrary, it seems that we are from the Central Plains who are being chased by them!"
Feng Shang gasped and said, "Could it be that this was once a country?" When Feng Shang said this, Ren Xiao also felt that it was very possible, because the surrounding architectural style was not so much an ancient tomb as a castle. "But there has never been a record of such a country in the history books, why is this? Besides, if they have super combat effectiveness, why are they destroyed and buried underneath?" Ren Xiao recalled the historiography he had studied before, and indeed he had never heard of such a country. Nangong said disdainfully: "Don't you know? History books have always been compiled by the victors, and what is not conducive to the image of the country, they naturally want to erase it!"
Ren Xiao touched his chin and said, "What do you mean, maybe the lord of the country should know something?" Nangong shook his head and said: "It's hard to say, if his ancestors told him this, then maybe he still knows something, if he doesn't say it, then I'm afraid this history can only be found from the murals." ”
The contents of this wall were basically understood, and Ren Xiao motioned to go to the next wall to continue exploring.
On the other side, Taishi Xiaomeng led the Jieling faction to speculate on the content of the mural, he clasped his hands to his chest and said: "It seems that this mysterious country once got along very well with the capital of the Central Plains!"
"In that case, how did they end up underground?" Xu Weimo asked. Taishi Xiaomeng shook his head and said, "In my cognition, there has never been such a country! What about you? You who often rob tombs should know a lot about the past!"
Xu Weimo also shook his head and said: "I am not impressed at all, looking at the situation here, it should have a history of three or five hundred years, and we have been to thousands of years of ancient tombs, but we have never heard of the existence of this country!"
"Forget it, let's continue to find the next wall!" Taishi Xiaomeng led the Jieling faction through the ancient tomb.
When Taishi Xiaomeng and the others found a new wall, it was all carved with some mechanical devices, and a person who knew a little about machinery in the Jieling Sect exclaimed after seeing it: "It's really unbelievable, people hundreds of years ago could make such sophisticated mechanical equipment, and the scale covered the entire castle!"
Xu Weimo asked, "What do you mean? This ancient tomb is a mechanical device?" The man touched the carvings on the wall and said, "I see, the reason why we get lost is because the structure here is constantly changing, it's not that we have touched any mechanism by mistake, but the castle itself is constantly changing!"
"How is that possible! This is simply impossible, so where does it come from? It is impossible for hundreds of years to change all the time!" "He's right, maybe that's why the Corridor to Heaven keeps rising! Years ago, the terrain wasn't as high as it is now. Taishi Xiaomeng remembered that Wanyan Danqing once said, "Any unbelievable thing in the Tongtian Corridor has a certain connection with this ancient tomb?"
Since this castle has been in motion all along, the rise of the corridor to heaven must have something to do with this. As high-sounding as it sounds, there is no better explanation now. When all impossibilities are eliminated, the remaining one, no matter how illogical, is the truth.
