Chapter 870: The Secret of Animal Skins
The animal skin was hidden in a hole in the waist of the stone statue, and was wrapped with a layer of stone flakes. After being hit, the stone flakes cracked, but no one thought that there was something hidden inside. Han Liang gently opened the cracked pieces with his hands.
The stone piece was peeled off, revealing the roll of animal skin. After he got this thing, he finished reading the words on the back of the stone statue, and then walked back to us.
This roll of animal skin is about 30 centimeters wide, but more than one meter long. Lao He helped hold the other end before fully unfolding it. We focused our headlights on the animal skin. After thousands of years of vicissitudes, this thing has become more and more mature.
It's so black that I can't tell what kind of animal skin it is, but considering the length, it should be taken from a large animal.
There are pictures and text on it, but they are all water-textured characters that we don’t recognize. The font is white and has a faint phosphorescence under the light. We can’t guess what technology was used to form the characters. We can’t read but we can
Look at pictures. Didn’t you always learn how to read pictures in kindergarten when you were a child?
Most of the pictures are of frog-like creatures swimming in the water, and there are even palaces, altars and castles underwater. The architectural style is not primitive and backward, but it feels like an advanced civilization. I guess this was imagined by the ancients.
Or maybe it was a kind of precognition, able to predict the future development of human civilization. We were not interested in this. Except for Xiao Ying who continued to stare at the previous underwater pictures, we all looked back.
A confusing picture appeared at the back. The middle was blank. On both sides was a hell-like place, with many tortured humans struggling and shouting. On the right side was an environment of walking dead, each with a faceless face.
The expressions are the same as those of dead ghosts. Although the pictures are small, the facial expressions of the characters are very realistic, which makes us guess that one is hell and the other is Hades.
But what does the empty space in the middle represent? I thought about it for a while, suddenly thought of what was going on, and said to them: "The middle is the underworld of chaos, and the two sides are the underworld and the underworld!"
They all raised their heads and glanced at me. They didn’t seem to pay much attention to my brother’s words and probably didn’t believe it. This was purely a guess. There was no need for them to believe my thoughts. So they looked down and saw that there was a person in this painting.
Resurrection made my heart skip a beat, confirming that the two ideas I just thought were correct. This is to
Only after being tempered in the chaotic underworld can people be resurrected. I was about to open my mouth and continue to explain to them. Then I thought that Han Liang and Lao He were not good people. They might also be pursuing the secret of immortality, and they had to go through the practice in the chaotic underworld.
If I tell you something that no one knows, they will get the secret.
Looking further down is the last painting. Above is the resurrected man. When he comes to the underwater altar, his whole body emits light, and he seems to have become a god.
I understand, why the dead demon wanted to seize the White Tiger Pearl and why he opened the Wuzu Altar, it turned out to be for the purpose of cultivating immortality. His uncle, immortality is already a struggle, but he still has such a huge appetite to become a god and immortal. Besides, the immortality
Is this really reliable? Do you think you will become immortal just by kowtowing and burning incense before going to the altar? I feel like those are all fairy tales to make kindergarten children happy.
Since I didn't reveal that these pictures were related to the secret of immortality sought by the Ghost King, Lao He and Han Liang couldn't see any clues, so they rolled up the animal skins and put them in their pockets. Then Han Liang circled around the statue of Wuzu.
, nothing was found, and he told us dejectedly that this was just a dilapidated ruins, and the valuable treasures might have been taken away long ago, so we should go back the way we came.
Needless to say, if we don’t go back the way we came, do we have to break through the cave roof to get out? My brother is really in a bad mood. Hearing Han Liang’s words, he felt annoyed for no reason. You said that after all the troubles and narrow escapes,
It was all in vain, just like when I was looking for the Tomb of the Ghost King, I started going in circles again!
But I firmly believe that good people will be rewarded, and we will always find the altar of the Witch Ancestor. But this time it is even more elusive than the Tomb of the Ghost King, and there is no clue at all, alas!
We were about to step off the altar when the dead girl suddenly said: "Don't go down yet, I saw a few bloody things moving over from the left and right sides."
I hurriedly waved to the guys: "Wait, there's something going on down there."
Xiao Ho Dao, Xiao Ying, Da Zuirong and Chen Hanyan immediately shined their headlights under the stage. It was empty and there was nothing there. I was about to ask what the shape of those bloody things were and whether they were corpses after blooming.
The corpse that crawled out? At this time, Han Liang was already holding a flashlight.
I have discovered that kind of unknown object. It is crawling towards the middle along both sides of the river. From a distance, it looks like a big crab, with its whole body covered in blood red. It is too far away to see clearly what it is.
But we all vaguely guessed that it had something to do with Corpse Bud.
Han Liang's expression changed greatly, and he hurriedly went to touch something in his bag, but what he took out after touching it was empty-handed. The equipment had been used up long ago when dealing with Huang Jiuye, and the only copper bell was also thrown into the rocky beach above.
There aren't many people in my bag. I only have a few exorcism charms and golden light charms left. But I also carry two pieces of yellow paper. If I need the Samadhi True Fire, I can draw it right away.
"Let's stay away for now. I think they will be afraid of the shaman ancestors and won't dare to come on stage. As long as we keep a sufficient distance, they won't be able to suck our blood." Although Lao He was panicked, he was still a veteran after all.
, and did not get into trouble.
Little Hob said sadly that it was a pity that the three-energy soul lamp was left on it, otherwise this thing could kill evil spirits on a large scale. Da Zuirong looked at the corpses and said, they may be soulless things, almost the same as zombies.
The three-energy soul lamp is designed to restrain ghosts, so it shouldn't have much effect on them. The most pity is the black water mirror, which can definitely block these corpses.
Chen Hanyan comforted him: "Husband, let's go back the same way later and we can still get it back."
Dazuirong sighed and held her little hand and said, "No matter how good the thing is, it's not a pity to lose it. As long as you are good, I will feel relieved."
I looked at the dead girl in my mind, then turned to look at Xiao Ying who looked calm, and said to myself that the two of them were fine, which was also my biggest wish.
The dead girl seemed to see through my thoughts, a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, but then her face darkened and she said: "They are coming!"
I hurriedly lowered my head and shined my headlight towards the audience. Under the illumination of several beams of light, four corpses had already crawled over. At this moment, they were about ten meters apart, and I could basically see their shapes clearly. Their two legs formed a circle.
, their upper bodies, arms and heads are all curled up between their legs, and they can only move sideways when walking, looking like round crabs. Their whole bodies are naked, and their skin is blood red and translucent, which looks very strange under the light.
Horrible and scary.
The distance of about ten meters did not cause us to feel blood loss, which meant that this distance was relatively safe. I immediately took out an exorcism talisman, recited a spell and lit it before throwing it in. When the talisman encountered evil spirits, it cut through the darkness like a meteor.
Space, and quickly threw a corpse bud in front of me. The thing shook suddenly, and then froze motionless. As soon as I saw a door, I threw three more exorcism charms in succession, and the remaining three were taken care of.
But this is the last one. The others are all golden talismans. I don’t know if they work or not. I quickly took out the yellow paper and asked Xiao Ying to help cut it into talisman paper. Now there are several corpse buds on both sides that are about to crawl over. We have to fight for speed.
