But at this moment, a huge wave suddenly came and hit the bow of the ship hard. The entire ship was pressed down by the huge wave with the bow facing down. Then the back wave swept in and swept the entire ship down.
The hull of the ship was lifted again.
"How could such an inconspicuous little lake contain such huge energy?" I almost couldn't stand in panic. In desperation, I had to use my hands to press the ship's pillar.
As soon as I supported the pillar, suddenly a very fast black figure emerged from the cabin. I immediately stood up to chase it, but my foot slipped and I fell to the ground. By the time I stood up, the thing had long disappeared.
"Where did that monster go?" I rushed out of the cabin and saw several soldiers scattered on the deck, all of them vomiting.
"Jump...jump down."
"Ran?"
"He...he was bitten by a monster!" At this time, a soldier yelled in panic, pointed at a soldier next to him, and muttered something without knowing what he said.
"What's wrong? What did you say?" I was about to question him, but suddenly his whole body felt like it had been burned by fire, and he was rolling on the ground in pain.
"Hurry and save him!" I looked at his condition and concluded that he must have been poisoned by the monster on his waist. If he didn't rescue him in time, he might be in danger.
Fortunately, Deyang Lamu was proficient in medical skills, so even if he couldn't find the right method, he could still save the soldier's life.
"I didn't expect this beast to be so powerful." I couldn't help but feel scared. If it had attacked me in the cabin just now, I might not have much to gain from it.
Finally the boat reached the shore.
Xiaogushan had close contact with us for the first time.
"Look, that's their rubber boat in Yunnan." Deyang Ram's sharp eyes found the rubber boat covered in the grass.
"Judging from the speed of the ship, they arrived seven or eight hours earlier than us. I'm afraid it's time to find the entrance to the tomb by now."
"Then we have to hurry up."
"But that's fine. They searched in front, which saved us a lot of effort. Yunnan thought that if they destroyed the ship, we wouldn't be able to catch up with them, but they never dreamed that we were right behind them."
"Brother Lin Kun, look here quickly."
Caiyun seemed to have discovered something in the woods. I quickly ran over and took a look. I saw that a tunnel entrance had been blown down, and gunpowder smoke was constantly coming out of it.
"Judging from the traces of the explosion, it obviously happened just now." Deyang Ram said.
"Well, it should be the explosion in Yunnan. This tunnel extends to the bottom of the lake. The huge waves on the lake were caused by the explosion. After the tunnel was blown up, the monsters inside ran out and attacked our ship.
I judge that this should be the tunnel leading to Xiaogushan, which confirms that the legendary tunnel is true, but it is a pity that we did not find the entrance."
"That's right, it seems that after Yunnan Province discovered this tunnel, they went in to check it and made sure it was not an ancient tomb. In order to prevent us from entering Xiaogushan through the tunnel, they blew it up. Otherwise, there is no way to explain why.
Do this."
"Yeah, that's what I think." I turned around and looked around, "That's good. It will take at least two or three hours for them in Yunnan Province to discover this secret passage, check and confirm it, blow it up, and move it.
This gives us time to catch up with them."
There were traces of their walking on the ground, making it easy to follow them.
The area of ​​Xiaogushan is not large. Except for a narrow circle of flat land by the lake, the rest of the area is mountainous. Moreover, Xiaogushan is not high and looks like a mound of earth from a distance.
I even suspect that it is a sealed mound.
The entire Xiaogushan may be where the ancestral graves of Heiyun Village are located.
With the addition of village soldiers,
We have more people, so we can find it more efficiently. With the cooperation of everyone, we soon found a cave entrance under the cliff.
This cliff is very strange. It is hidden in a canyon with steep rock walls on both sides. Only the entrance of the cave is very flat, as if it has been cut with a knife. However, because it is hidden in the canyon, it is difficult to find it from the outside.
The outer edge of the cave entrance is built with stones. Although the craftsmanship is rough, it is still an incredible project when it was restored to more than 2,000 years ago.
We were looking at the situation inside the cave when suddenly a strong wind came out of it. We had to turn our heads to avoid the wind and sand. With this wind, I was 100% sure that it was the ancestral tomb we were looking for.
entrance.
"This is it."
"Wait for us outside, and don't rush into the cave."
After giving the instructions, the three of us looked at each other and walked in together without hesitation.
The passage was not long, and we soon reached the end. The moment we walked out of the passage, our eyes suddenly brightened, and a huge underground space appeared in front of us.
The vastness of this underground space exceeds my imagination. I don’t know how high it is above. There is endless darkness with no end in sight, and all around is a thick black like nothingness. At a glance, my vision is filled with darkness.
Devoured, it seems as if there is no limit to the distance.
But in the depths of this darkness that is shrouded like a sky, there are dozens of blue light sources scattered around, like stars, distributed throughout the sky.
The light was not bright, but it gave the entire space a layer of blue shimmer, and I could barely see the surrounding scenery clearly.
The exit of the passage is on a cliff, and going down is the bottomless abyss. A suspended plank road stands between the exit of the passage and the building in front of it.
This plank road is about fifty or sixty meters long, running between the entrance of the passage and the stone platform on the opposite side. It is eight meters wide. The three of us stood on it, as if we had mistakenly entered the country of giants.
Standing on the plank road and looking down, there is a dark wind sweeping up from the depths of the Nine Netherworld, blowing on the body, almost giving people the urge to jump down in a trance.
I quickly pinched my arm and regained my concentration. At the same time, I reminded the two people around me and said, "This abyss is a bit weird. Don't stand on the edge of the plank road and look down."
At the end of the plank road is a huge stone platform, which is several meters higher than the end of the passage entrance. We stand here and can't really see the scene above.
"Let's go." I took a deep breath and walked towards the stone platform.
Stepping onto the stone platform, the sight we saw made the three of us take a deep breath.
This stone platform is as big as several football fields. The three of us standing on the edge are as small as ants. What makes our hearts even more chilling is that in the middle of the stone platform, there is a tower made of skeletons.
The view of the capital is built on top of the head.
The length and width of the Jingguan are over twenty meters each, and the height is about ten meters. Each layer is made up of stacked skulls. Those densely packed skulls are neatly arranged together, with their faces facing our direction.
The dark eye sockets seemed to contain unexpressable sorrow and despair.
Tens of thousands of skulls are stacked on top of each other, dozens of layers in total.
"How many people have to be killed to build a Jingguan of this scale?" I was shocked when I looked at the sea of ​​skulls in front of me.
Each human skull represents a person, and there are tens of thousands of skulls used to build this Jingguan.
"Lin Kun, what on earth is this place?"
"When the ancestors of Heiyun Village migrated here from the Central Plains, they inevitably clashed with the aboriginal people here. I heard Yun Dingxiang say that this place was once the territory of the Wuman people. In addition, there were constant wars between ethnic groups in the southwest.
The skulls are probably soldiers captured by Heiyun Village during the war."
"Ah?" Deyang Ram was surprised.
"If you want to gain a foothold in this place, if you can't scare your opponents, it is simply impossible. This can explain why the villages in these ten miles and eight villages are so afraid of Heiyun Village? I'm afraid they are afraid of Heiyun Village.
History existed thousands of years ago, and is still passed down orally today.”
After stopping for a while beside the Jingguan, we walked around it and continued walking behind the stone platform.
On top of the stone platform, there is a stone platform with steps leading up to it.
After climbing up the twenty-eight steps, a square wider than the lower stone platform appeared in front of us.
The square was so wide that it was hard to see the end, but it was empty. It was only covered with blue bricks and nothing could be seen.
At the end of the square, across another stone plank road, there is a huge stone gate dozens of meters high.
This stone gate is built entirely on the mountain wall, and the entire body is made of huge stones. The gate is carved with countless reliefs of ferocious-looking exotic animals.
On both sides of the door, there are two tall bronze sculptures.
It is as strong as an ox, looks like a lion but not a lion, looks like an elephant but not an elephant. Its whole body is covered with hard skin as sharp as the tip of a spear, and its face shows a fierce look. Two giant eyes like copper bells are embedded in it, and its mouth is wide open.
, revealing sharp fangs on both sides. The front paws are lying on the ground, the body is slightly inflated, and the eyes are focused, as if waiting for an opportunity to hunt prey. It has two dragon bodies and snake heads, its wings are as angry as wings, and its five toes are clasped with sharp claws, as if it is flying in the nine heavens.
, and seems to be entrenched in it. Its head is turned sideways, looking in the direction of the plank road, holding a candle in its mouth, and its face shows a ferocious expression, as if when it gets angry, it will spout endless anger from its mouth, burning everything in front of it to ashes.
One look at the appearance, and one can tell that these two bronze statues are ancient ferocious beasts. The owner of the tomb is here to suppress the ferocious beasts, and the evil spirits do not dare to enter the door.
When we looked at them from a distance, we already felt that the power of these two statues was astonishing. When the three of us got closer and stood under the two bronze statues, which were five or six meters high, we felt even more ferocious, almost penetrating our bodies.
"Lin Kun, what kind of mythical beasts are these two statues?" Deyang Ram asked.
"The culture of the Central Plains is spread in Heiyun Village. Most of the ferocious beasts in this tomb are roosters. However, the appearance of this rooster is somewhat different from those unearthed in the Central Plains. It may be that the craftsmen here have forgotten a lot of their craftsmanship, but no matter what they are,
, the things in the tomb are extremely dangerous things." I explained, but I couldn't explain clearly, so I said: "Okay, let's go, let these two bronze statues stay here forever.
Ancient tomb, there are bigger things waiting for us inside?"
Soon, we arrived in front of a huge stone gate.
Although it is a stone gate, it is actually a door-shaped corridor dug out of the mountain wall. As you walk in, every ten meters of the wall along the way is inlaid with a luminous stone body that emits a gleaming blue light, giving the entire corridor a magical effect.
A layer of faint blue light.
Seeing these luminous stones, it is not difficult to deduce that the dots of blue scattered in the black curtain outside are probably larger luminous stones, inlaid on the cliff behind the black curtain.
It's just that the space outside is so big that it looks like stars in the sky.
After walking along the corridor for about a few hundred meters, we turned a 90-degree direct bend and walked into a large hall.
"Brother Lin Kun, there is a very strong corpse energy here."
As soon as I walked into the hall, Caiyun, who had not spoken much along the way, suddenly pulled my sleeve, frowned, looked ahead and said.
"Corpse Qi?" My first reaction was, could it be Yunnan and his Rakshasa blood corpse?
"Everyone, be careful and show your skills."
I quickly scanned the surroundings, but the main hall was shrouded in blue light, and there was a faint blue silence, so I didn't see anything wrong.
Chapter completed!
