Hearing Wu Xie mention Banai, Zhang Zhuoxun's eyes moved slightly, but he didn't say much. The current time was not suitable to say anything extra.
Thinking of the fat man's reaction after knowing the truth, Zhang Zhuxun couldn't help but feel a slight chill on the back of his neck.
He rolled his neck slightly uncomfortably and decisively changed the subject, "Judging from the current situation, there should be more historical relics left by this 'Snake Worshipers', but I don't know about Hydra."
What is the secret connection between Bai and the big snake they worship?"
Wu Xie hummed and didn't dwell too much. Judging from his past experience, even if the truth wouldn't come to his door in person, it would pass through countless people and leave him with a suspicious tail.
The three of them shared a flashlight and looked at it as they walked. The content on the stone wall became increasingly rich, and large areas of mottled dark color began to appear.
"This seems to be a pilgrimage team." Wu Xie pointed to the slightly clearer and more coherent gray and white blocks on the mural. "The clothes and accessories of these people have a faint shadow of civilized society, and their clothes also look very uniform.
The upper body is decorated with beads and accessories, and the lower body is covered with a robe, but you can’t tell which civilization it resembles.”
Zhang Zhuxun understood the deeper meaning of his words, that is to say, before the Gulan people migrated here, there was already an extinct ancient civilization deep in the mountains here that was deeply affected by the meteorite.
The fat man in front made a hissing sound, and seemed to have discovered something, "Strange, why do these little people use skirts to cover their lower bodies, as if they have no feet, and their feet are buried in the ground? They don't have any growth."
Legs?”
"What did you say?" Zhang Zhuxun's eyes narrowed, and he immediately turned to look at the corner pointed out by the fat man.
This part of the painting is located further forward, the characters are larger, and there are a few more strings of accessories than the little figures at the back. It is obvious that the social status is higher. Similarly, the mineral pigments used to depict the murals are also more profound.
Some are clearly visible to the naked eye.
Zhang Zhuxun could clearly see that the robes that covered the lower bodies of the adults seemed to be blown up by the wind as they walked, forming a long stick without any trace of separation when they stepped forward.
"It's true, these are probably a group of living zombies." The fat man said in a deep tone, which seemed to make sense.
"Tail." Zhang Zhuxun said, "What they use for walking under their robes is not their legs, but their tails."
"Tail?!" Wu Xie was horrified and subconsciously asked, "What tail?"
"The snake's tail, there is a snake path specifically for them to walk underneath, with water flowing through it, and many uniform stones." Zhang Zhuxun narrowed the aperture of the flashlight and focused it on a certain location.
Wu Xie's ability to interpret murals has always been very strong. He continued what Zhang Zhuxun said, "This should be a strange creature with a human body and a snake's tail. I don't know if they were originally like this or if they were mutated by the radiation from the meteorite. In short, it looks like
They seemed to be in a hurry, and they were going to a place through the snake path."
"They must be going to the Snake Temple." The fat man questioned reasonably, and then began to make random guesses, "The snake spirit in the Calabash Baby seems to look like this. This thing is either imagined by the villains below, or
It’s just a throwback to their ancestors, well, maybe their ancestors are actually descendants of Fuxi and Nuwa?”
"Why don't you say that they were just thrown out of nowhere?" Wu Xie curled his lips.
The fat man spoke plausibly, "As the saying goes, fish looks for fish, shrimp looks for shrimp, and turtle looks for tortoise. There is definitely an ulterior relationship between these ancient people and snakes."
"Those villains worship snakes, could it be because they think they are snakes?" Wu Xie was confused and wanted to confirm with Zhang Shuxun some of the Zhang family's unique secrets, but turned around and found that Zhang Shuxun had turned back at some point.
.
"Wooden fish?"
Zhang Zhuoxun hummed, and his voice passed through the corridor, a little erratic, "I may, maybe... discovered something incredible."
Before Wu Xie could ask more questions, Zhang Zhuoxun came back. Under the dim light, his face looked a little subtle.
Wu Xie asked strangely: "What did you find? Why do you look like this?"
"It's true that they are offering sacrifices. Those people do have an unscrupulous worship of snakes." Zhang Zhu paused and continued, "But I suddenly discovered that those people and the snakes around them seemed to be themselves.
Integrated, which is usually said to be companion."
"Ban Sheng?" Wu Xie was extremely surprised. After thinking about it carefully, he felt that the weirdness seemed somewhat reasonable, "What about the human body and the snake's tail? Is it like a human-faced bird, where the lower body of a person is swallowed by a snake?
In the mouth, it is just because it is covered by the robe and the connection point cannot be clearly seen, so it creates this visual illusion."
"They have been here." Zhang Zhuoxun murmured, looking a little excited, "The Zhang family has been here, and there are snakes in the ancient building, so when did the Zhang family's ancestors start raising snakes..."
Perhaps, a long time ago, before the decision was made to establish the Western Region, a certain patriarch of the Zhang family once went deep into the underground here and found the secret of the snake-worshipping clan's human-snake companionship thousands of years ago. Perhaps he also brought out a snake from here.
snake.
Zhang Haike said that Wang Zanghai once captured a big snake. Is that snake related to the disintegration of the Zhang family?
Wang Zanghai stole the snake from the Zhang family and obtained many secrets through the snake, so he started "hunting" against the Zhang family. So where did the snake go in the end?
Anyway, it will definitely not be in the hands of the current Wang family, otherwise, why would those hyenas be so eager to spread their nets everywhere.
The secret of the snake, the secret of the white sand, the bronze door, the octagonal bell, the collision between two ancient ethnic groups, the secret pursued by countless people - the secret is here, in the ancestral land!
"Let's go, Zhang Haike knows a lot more than we do." Zhang Zhuoxun smiled in relief, "Find him, and the things left by my brother are also there."
With the words "Brother, I've been here too", Wu Xie and Fatty immediately felt like they had been given a shot of blood, their waists and legs no longer hurt, and they kept moving forward.
The rough corridor looks like the fossilized skin of a giant python, with row upon row and twists and turns.
When they came back to their senses, the three of them were already standing in front of a cliff.
This is a natural cave that is more than ten times larger than the cave just now. Wherever you look, the surrounding rock walls are covered with thick and rusty chains, extending and crisscrossing like the tentacles of a monster.
The chains are intertwined like an inverted turtle shell, and the whole space is like a huge honeycomb, or in other words, a snake's nest.
