Chapter 38: The Stone Court in the Heart of the Mountain
The stones in the circle are engraved with complex ancient texts, as well as some pictures carved with simple lines. The picture is vaguely identifiable as the scene when the stone platform was originally built. It turns out that the stone pillar was carved from a single piece of rock.
, the manpower and material resources used were very large, which also shows the noble status of the original dragon chaser.
There was a picture that caught my attention. On the picture, some topless people dug out holes in the four directions of the stone pillar: the southeast, northwest and northwest. But the picture had ended here, and I didn’t know what the hole was.
What is it used for?
After checking again for a while, I found that there was no entrance at all, so I had to put all my hope in the information revealed in that picture. It seemed that there was indeed a universe inside this stone platform, but I didn't find it. Maybe the entrance was there.
Hidden in one of the openings.
After getting off the stone platform, I searched around the stone platform again, this time very carefully, because the location could not be marked in the picture, so I quickly found some different places.
Just like the stone sculpture, there is a dark-colored place in the four directions of the stone platform, which is square and about two meters long. It seems that the entrance of the cave is here, but I don't know if there is an entrance.
It seems that physical work is inevitable. I took out the tools and dug out the stone chips bit by bit. Fortunately, after thousands of years of glory, the stones filled inside have been corroded and become very soft, just like digging.
The soil is generally hard, so although it takes some effort, the progress is not slow.
It only took half an hour to dig to a depth of more than one meter, and soon I encountered a hard layer. I knew that I had arrived at the place I was looking for.
After cleaning up the surrounding stone debris, I saw something unexpected. There was a sarcophagus stuffed inside the cave, which was just big enough to block the cave. The strangest thing is that the head of the sarcophagus and the body of the sarcophagus are not one body.
, that is to say, it can be opened directly from the head of the coffin.
Was it made this way on purpose? What's the purpose? But no matter why, the only way I can do it now is to open it up.
After cleaning up the stone chips in the card slot, I gently pulled out the stone slab at the head of the coffin, and found that the sarcophagus was empty. But what was strange was that the light of the searchlight could not shine to the end.
With the diameter of this stone platform, a searchlight can easily shine to the other side. Why can't it be done inside? Is it covered with light-absorbing paint? How is it possible? At least I don't think there was the ability to make such a stone platform at that time.
Something comes out.
At this time, I couldn't care less. I finally found this place. No matter whether it was the entrance to the Heavenly Palace or not, I wanted to go in and have a look. So I put it down and hesitated for a few seconds before resolutely getting in.
But at this time, I forgot one thing. There is a hole in each of the four directions of this stone platform. I made this decision without any choice, which is why there were a series of accidents.
I climbed into the sarcophagus carefully. The space inside was one meter wide, so it was easy to climb up. But just when I was about to climb out, my ankle suddenly tightened and I was caught by something.
My spirit was highly concentrated in the darkness ahead. This sudden change scared me and screamed. When I turned around, a furry paw was immediately revealed in front of my eyes. The moonlight outside was very clear, and the furry paw was clearly visible.
I couldn't be more familiar with the body. It was the savage I saw before. This damn thing, it actually followed my footsteps all the way down.
The savage wanted to drag me out of the cave. I knew I would be in big trouble if I let him out, so I immediately put up two arms to support the coffin walls on both sides, and kicked his paw hard with my other foot. But like this
The effect was not great. The savage seemed not to feel any pain, but the pulling force became stronger and stronger.
The savage not only dragged my body, but also kept making unpleasant roars. He looked very manic. The strange thing was that his movements were not large. Although he grabbed my ankles, he did not hurt me.
Come to me.
In order to get rid of the savage quickly, I had to take out the spray gun and fired two shots with my backhand. Immediately, my ankle was loosened. I didn't care to see if the savage was okay, and quickly climbed into the sarcophagus.
At this time, there was a loud "bang" behind him, and then it fell into silence.
I guessed that the savage didn't dare to get into this hole. With its size, it couldn't move around in this coffin, so I stopped as soon as I got into the coffin. Sure enough, there was no movement behind me. It seemed that I
Once again, he successfully escaped its vicious hands.
I thought about looking back, but I didn't expect that the stone slab at the back of the coffin had already been closed. Thinking of the loud noise just now, I guess it was at that time. It was done by savages? Probably! We are the only two alive here.
, it’s not who it is, I don’t want to guess suspiciously anymore.
Now that it was closed, I didn't bother to worry about it anymore. I held the searchlight in my backhand and crawled inside. After a few steps, I reached the end.
I knocked it with something, but the sound it made was not hollow, but solid, indicating that this side was very thick. I felt puzzled. Since the other side can come in at will, why is there no way out here?
What? Is the existence here just a joke?
I searched all around, including the stone slabs below, but found nothing. The walls and bottom of the coffin were very thick, and there were no gaps, making it impossible to open them.
Finally, I focused on the lid of the coffin, which was the only place that I had not checked. As a result, I found out that the lid of the sarcophagus was stuck in a slot, and it moved slightly when I pushed it with my hand.
I felt happy and hurriedly pushed it to one side. The lid of the coffin was soon pushed out through a gap three feet wide. The sarcophagus reached the top one meter upward, but there was a hole next to it.
I breathed a sigh of relief, and it turned out that the hidden entrance was really up there. It was also my fault, I had automatically ignored it since I just came in, because I subconsciously thought that the top was leading to the stone platform, and there was no way at all.
But they ignored that the stone platform was several meters high, and the space inside was large enough to create such a secret entrance.
I climbed into the cave, only three meters to the end. The entrance of the cave turned sharply at 90 degrees, and there was a staircase extending straight downward. When I shined a searchlight, I could vaguely see some scenery, but I couldn't see clearly.
I walked down the stone steps, and what was underneath was a stone chamber. It was square in shape, ten meters long and wide, with a stone door on the front, back, left, and right. There was only one thing in the stone chamber, and in the center was a stone like a millstone.
The disk is about two meters in diameter and is supported by a huge stone pillar. The stone disk is twenty centimeters thick and has a depression in the middle. It contains some water, which is light red but very clear.
It's very strange that after thousands of years, the water inside has not dried up, and why is its color light red? It must not be blood. I don't know what the purpose of this stone plate is.
Out of curiosity, I walked over and took a look. My reflection was clearly printed in the water. The bottom of the stone plate was like a mirror. Even the face and facial features of the printed shadow could be clearly seen.
But at this moment, the water in the stone plate rippled slightly, and then I discovered to my horror that a shadow slowly appeared next to me. The whole body was wrapped in black cloth. It was very tall.
Sticking tightly to my back.
There couldn't be two reflections of me in the water, so all the hairs on my body stood up immediately, and my scalp exploded. I couldn't be more familiar with that shadow. I've seen it several times in dreams and reality.
, he really follows me around like my shadow.
Swallowing, I suddenly looked back, but there was nothing behind me. But when I looked at the water again, the black shadow was still behind me. It seemed to be trying hard to get close to me, but there was something.
is blocking it.
This time I could see it more clearly than ever before, although I still couldn't see its face. I had never noticed it being so close to me, and this feeling of being like a shadow makes me want to go crazy.
I suddenly remembered, what exactly is it? It is invisible and intangible. It follows you like a shadow. No matter where you go, you cannot get rid of it. I am afraid that only ghosts can do this.
I had a cold war, and there was a ghost following me all the time. Thinking about it makes me shudder.
I didn't dare to look any further, so I carried my things and got into one of the stone gates. At this time, I was completely in a panic and didn't have the energy to think about whether I was going the wrong way.
There is a long passage inside the stone gate. I thought it would lead to some special place. But not long after I walked, I found that the road had been cut off. It was caused by collapse. The stone blocked the road ahead. Unexpectedly,
Leave a slight gap.
I could only turn around and take another path, but the result was the same. Not believing in evil, I walked through the remaining door, only to see that at the same distance, the three passages were blocked. Needless to say, the remaining
That one must be like this, it seems to be deliberately blocking the approach of outsiders.
I checked the collapsed areas and found that they were all formed not long ago, definitely no more than thirty years ago. There were even traces of explosives in some places. It seemed that someone had come here a long time ago. But why?
The entrance I just came down from has not been opened, so where are the people who blew up the passage?
Well, these are none of my business, but what I have to worry about is why the people coming in must blow up the passage. Under normal circumstances, only when encountering great danger will they do such a self-defeating thing, then
Where did the danger come from? I thought of the stone plate containing red liquid in the stone chamber. Judging from what I saw, that seemed to be the only possibility.
