Chapter 127 - Statue of a Blood Child
"Su ...... Senior Brother Su Ming, are you okay?" Lu Yanran looked at Su Yang and said, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she hurriedly turned her words to Su Ming, because she still remembered Su Yang's instructions, and she didn't dare to care too much about him at the moment.
"I'm fine. Su Ming was helped up by Lu Yanran, chuckling and shaking his head.
Su Yang looked at this scene with resentment on the side, anyway, the culprit was himself, no matter how dissatisfied he was at the moment, he could only swallow bitterness in his stomach.
But fortunately, it's not that no one cares about him, Jiang Xiaowan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly stepped forward, and said worriedly: "Senior Chu Jiang, your face is so bad, are you okay?"
"No ......" Su Yang shook his head, reached out and gently patted Jiang Xiaowan's shoulder, and stopped talking.
Everyone was hit one after another, and their hearts were also very heavy, Su Ming looked around and said, "Let's go, Senior Sister Lu and I found a tomb over there before, maybe it is the real entrance to the ancient tomb, and the time we have been delayed here is long enough." ”
With the disappearance of the white corpse girl, the stone wall that appeared inexplicably was also gone, and the narrow and dark corridor appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
Everyone nodded one after another, and Su Ming led the way with the light, and continued to walk forward. Su Yang walked at the back, not knowing what he was thinking, and his spirit was a little trance-like, but Lu Yanran noticed that he slowed down his pace, and the few people in front of him didn't notice it.
"What's wrong with you?" Lu Yanran asked in an inaudible voice, they were five steps away from the people in front of them, and the pulse light ball could no longer shine on them, and they were basically completely hidden in the dark.
"It's just that the energy consumption just now was a bit large, and it will be able to recover soon. Su Yang shook his head and said softly.
Lu Yanran frowned, and didn't dare to speak too loudly, just looked at Su Yang's blurred face in the dark with worry.
"There was always a strange feeling in my heart, as if there was something in front of me, and my heart was very restless. After a while, Su Yang's dull voice came into Lu Yanran's ears again.
"Maybe you're too tired, don't think too much, and then you encounter danger, you don't rush to the front. Lu Yanran said softly.
"I see......" Su Yang nodded, but deep down he knew that this restlessness came from the blood dragon's breath, and things would never be so simple.
The six of them walked slowly, and soon came to the tomb, where there was a faint light, and there was also a crystal inlay on the top where the shark was located, but there were fewer of them, but at least they didn't need to rely on the pulse light ball to see.
Walk into the stone room, find that the space inside is very large, it is square, nearly 20 meters wide and long, except for a high platform in the middle, there is nothing, on both sides in front of the main entrance, there are four stone statues respectively, strange shapes, can not distinguish whether it is a person or an animal, each opens its teeth and dances its claws, bars its fangs, and the fierce face is exposed.
On the high platform, there is a two-meter-high stone pillar, the stone pillar is carved with snake patterns, there are three of them, coiled up, the mouth of the snake is facing the top of the stone pillar, and on the top of the stone pillar, there is also a doll statue, which looks like a baby of several months, it sits cross-legged on it, folds its hands, and closes its eyes.
"What is this?" Jiang Xiaowan's eyes widened, feeling inexplicable.
"There is no coffin here, and it is certainly not the main burial chamber of Otsuka, but this stone chamber is built here, and the furnishings inside are so weird, it must not be simple, maybe there is some meaning. Su Ming said in a deep voice.
He looked closely at the four stone statues on both sides, the first one on the left was a humanoid stone statue, but the head seemed to be a rakshasa, with a bloody mouth, eyes like copper bells, staring straight out of the door.
The second is a stone statue of an animal, like a big fish, but with a human face, and in the form of a man, his eyes looking straight ahead, making a prayer gesture.
The first one on the right is also a stone statue of a human body, but the face is not a rakshasa, but a tiger head, at a glance, as if the tiger head is also looking at himself, and his soul-like eyes make Su Ming's heart tremble.
The body of the last one seems to be a lion, but the face is a woman, very charming, and the eyes are slightly slanted, looking at the doll on the high platform.
"It's really strange that these four stone statues are unheard of, and the positions where the eyes are looking are different. And in the stone room, there is always an eerie feeling, and the doll on the high platform is definitely the key. Su Ming couldn't figure out what was going on for a while.
"The entrance to the ancient tomb, will it be here? Jiang Xiaowan was also looking around, turning around, and said curiously.
"Don't touch the things here for the time being, lest there be a mechanism, this stone chamber can't just be built for fun, maybe something can be discovered. Su Yang reminded Jiang Xiaowan.
"Oh. Jiang Xiaowan nodded, returned to Su Yang's side, and said, "Senior Chu, what should I do now?"
"Although I am older than you, you don't have to call me a senior all the time, just call me eldest brother. Su Yang glanced at Jiang Xiaowan and said helplessly.
"Okay, Brother Chu. Jiang Xiaowan has also seen Su Yang's strength, and she doesn't feel anything when she calls her eldest brother.
"What clues did you find?" Su Yang turned his head to look at Su Ming.
Su Ming's indifferent eyes swept over and said, "No." ”
"Ahem. Su Yang rolled his eyes speechlessly, this guy is too capable of pretending.
Zhao Shan went straight to the doll statue on the high platform in the middle, turned back to them and said, "I think the key to the problem is here." ”
"Is this a blood boy statue?" no one else knew, but Zhao Qi recognized the origin of this doll statue at a glance.
"Have you ever seen this thing?" asked Su Yang in surprise.
"I've been to the Southern Dynasty before, and I've heard people mention this kind of doll stone statue, and eight hundred years ago, it seemed that everyone believed in a legend. During this time period, the baby born represents the result of the two worlds of heaven and man. ”
"At the time of burial, this kind of baby can be buried with the deceased, and in the underworld, it will be blessed by the king of Hades, but the baby must be the size of a full moon and a fire sacrifice. ”
"Throw the baby alive into the furnace, refine it into a stone statue, and then carve the Dharma protector from the rumored appearance of various strange beasts, protect it on the left and right, and act as a guard. ”
In this way, when the deceased enters the underworld, no one will dare to bully him, and he will be supremely respected, but I don't know if this rumor is true or not, but most people in the Southern Dynasty believe in this. Zhao Qi said in a deep voice.
"That's cruel, isn't it? Jiang Xiaowan frowned.
"Therefore, the appearance of this blood boy statue here indicates that the entrance to the ancient tomb must also be here. Zhao Qi didn't have the slightest pity, but was more sure of where the entrance was.
Su Yang frowned, this Zhao Qi knows quite a lot, as far as he knows, Zhao Shan and Zhao Qi are brothers, but the cognition of the two is so different, it seems that this Zhao Qi still has an unknown story.
Southern Dynasty......
