Chapter 63: Ancient Ruins
Wen Fei dispersed the mist around him, and he could feel that there was no one inside. Although Master Wen didn't have any lighting tools on him, by this time, Master Wen didn't need any light at all.
He can do tricks like lighting in fantasy novels at will, but he can't use them at all. Unless it's true, it's an absolute darkness that no light can penetrate. Otherwise, it is not a joke.
Even if it is true absolute darkness, but when he cultivates to the realm of Wenda Heavenly Master, he can completely abandon his senses to discern this world.
As soon as Wen Fei lifted his hand, those vigorous rattans were lifted away in the air like a piece of cloth, revealing their true colors that had been hidden for I don't know how many years.
Behind these plants are a row of moss-covered bricks and stone pillars, and the architectural style is very different from what Master Wen saw when he was in the City of the Dead.
Frightened, many unnamed lizards were picked up from under the green plants and scattered.
Even stone buildings cannot withstand the ravages of time. It's like no matter how beautiful a woman is, she is peerless, but in the end, she is just an old woman who no one cares about.
At the moss-covered entrance, the once neat stone bars had now collapsed, and the stacks had blocked half of the hole.
But even the passage of time still can't hide the traces of some artificial carvings. Fortunately, with the sight of the Great Celestial Master, he was able to see clearly under this foot, and he didn't know how deep the stone staircase extended inward.
The golden afterglow of the sun made the entrance to the cave a little bright, but the deeper you entered, the natural light gradually contracted, and finally disappeared into the distance, while on the other side, the stone path inward seemed to reach far away, leading to the unknown world.
It's often a matter of scaring yourself, especially in this environment.
After going deeper into the building, a few turns were made. Master Wen finally found a hole in the middle of a room. Directly on the ground, a few stone slabs were pried open. Scattered aside.
Seemingly, these people all walked in. Master Wen was not afraid, and followed the dodge. I was a little puzzled in my heart, I didn't know why these guys were so familiar with this place. It doesn't look like they've stumbled upon this hole, but they're heading straight for it......
"How can you be so familiar with this place?" Luo Chengyu was a little surprised, watching them find this swamp with a clear purpose all the way, and even mingle with the natives here.
Even the ruins on this lonely small stone mountain, they seemed to know very well.
Alan used a machete to cut down the vines that had grown for an unknown number of years, and said with a grin: "Welcome to the amusement park of Allen's house." Don't you know that this is my family's ancestral business?"
"Your ancestors were Indians?" said the Luo idiom, which was a little unbelievable. Alan, this guy. There is a clear Anglo-Saxon ancestry. It didn't look like an Indian.
"No, no, no, it's you who are wrong. How could I have such a lowly bloodline. Alan disagreed: "I mean, my ancestors conquered this place. That was in the eighteenth century. ”
"It turns out that the civilization here was destroyed in the hands of your ancestors!" Luo Chengyu shouted.
The scale of this ruin is enormous. Not only on this small mountain, but also in those swamps, which used to be the scope of this civilization, with many canals, statues and other things.
Such a great civilization, which was no less prosperous than any civilization in the Americas, and which was hidden from outsiders in the depths of this rainforest, was destroyed at the hands of those executioners.
"These guys. All are sinful. Do you know?" said Alan disapprovingly, "These people are devils, because they not only sacrifice incense and blood, but also eat people......"
"That's enough!" the mysterious cloaked man said in a cold voice to stop Allen, and the vines in front of him had been cleared out of a passage: "Come in with me, there should be no danger here!"
The group turned on their flashlights. Entering the building, which seemed to be wrapped in various plants, it was as if entering a huge mouth. It always makes people feel a little uncomfortable.
"Where's the tunnel?" asked the cloaked man.
"I remember!" Alan thought for a moment, "just turn left in front and enter the fifth slab in the middle of that house!"
"Yes, I remember it very well!"
"Of course, my esteemed adventurer ancestor has written everything down in his notebook. If it weren't for me, no one would have discovered the contents of this hidden box by the fireplace!" Alan said with some excitement and joy.
According to Allen's instructions, the stone slabs were quickly removed, revealing the passage underneath.
"Welcome, Miss Luo, please come in. You're going to see a miracle!" said the man in the cape, politely.
Luo Chengyu was too lazy to ask, anyway, if there is something, you will know it when you go down and take a look. She followed the cloaked man down, and by the light of the flashlight in the cloaked man's hand, Luo Chengyu saw clearly that she was standing on the www.biquge.info of Biqu Pavilion, a passage leading to the interior of the mountain.
The ground is smooth, with steps carved out of the rock every few steps. A puff of humid air blew through her, like the vapor of a giant. She touched the stone wall with her fingertips, and her fingers became wet.
She looked up, and in the light of the flashlight, she suddenly saw a pair of sparkling eyes staring at her in the darkness ahead. Suddenly, the feeling of fear was like a cold hand, grabbing Luo Chengyu's neck.
"What's wrong with you, a small statue scared you like this?" The cloaked man's slightly mocking words made Luo Chengyu settle down.
Luo Chengyu only found out that just in front of him, a stone statue was glaring at the entrance of the passage, it was standing on a black rock pedestal, as if it was guarding the passage, not allowing anyone to enter.
The statue is inlaid with turquoise, the teeth are made of white quartz, and the eyes are a pair of rubies. He had a skull, bare ribs, and spiny protrusions on his spine, and if he had flesh on it, it was swollen and dotted with black circles, indicating decay.
"This is a statue of the Grim Reaper, welcome to hell, Miss Luo Chengyu!" the cloaked man laughed.
"Death, Maya's Death?" Luo Chengyu asked.
The cloaked man shrugged: "No one knows the history of this civilization, and those conquerors ruined the American civilization too cleanly. Hardly a single qiē word remains. But this statue is indeed a statue of death. As for whether it's Maya's Grim Reaper, I can't say!"
Luo Chengyu didn't speak again, she always felt that the eyes of this god of death were too permeating panic, and they seemed to move with your movements, as if they had been watching you.
Continuing along the passage, the dampness that came up from below made Luo Chengyu's pores all over his body sweat. Although it was damp inside, they had to settle down carefully so as not to stir up a choking cloud of dust.
Looking at such a large-scale passage, Luo Chengyu thought to himself that this civilized person must have spent many years digging this tunnel. I don't know what's going to be inside.
Luo Chengyu raised his hand and gently slid his fingertips across the limestone roof: "I suspect that this was not dug by them little by little, it is likely that it was dug on the basis of a stone crack that has already been stored." And the masters of these civilizations back then, they must not be short. ”
The top of their heads is still about half a meter away from the top of the cave, Luo Chengyu is at least one meter seven and five, maybe this hole is more than two meters high.
No one answered Luo Chengyu's words, and at this time, it seemed that the man in the cloak who had been mysterious, as if he had always been in his chest, also became nervous.
The footsteps of the group echoed back and forth, like ripples in a pond. Luo Chengyu knew that he was entering the center of the mountain, which was a claustrophobia-like feeling. The stagnant air became very dull, and the dampness became heavier and heavier, wetting the dust on the clothes.
The further you go, the more artificially carved marks there are, and in the end, it is a road made of square bricks. There are traces of flooding everywhere, and there are murals in some places. Although these murals were originally simple and vague, they have now been eroded into lines by water vapor.
After walking about fifty meters, they entered a small cave with a long corridor.
"Be careful, there's the breath of the dead ahead!" said the man in the cloak, who walked at the front. In this silent silence, his sudden opening almost startled Luo Chengyu.
"I know, there should be a mummy ahead!" Allen, who was walking in the middle of the line, was also a little nervous: "At the beginning, several people in my ancestor's team died at their hands!"
Luo Chengyu listened to their conversation, and suddenly felt a dry mouth. Could it be that the mummy can still come back to life and kill people?
If it were in the past, Luo Chengyu would definitely scoff at these. But now, my heart is going up and down. She thought of Wen Fei, if only Wen Fei were here.
It's just that no matter how powerful Wen Fei is, it is impossible to find such a mysterious place in the depths of this rainforest.
"Don't move, I'm here to comfort the dead, let their souls rest in peace, and return to Mother Earth's arms!" said the cloaked man.
His mouth began to chant words constantly, Luo Chengyu followed behind him, and he could vaguely hear this guy constantly praying and praising his Mother Earth, and his tone became more and more fanatical
"It's like self-hypnosis!" Luo Chengyu thought to himself.
