I wondered: Why are these female corpses lying on their backs, but their limbs are hanging at an incredible angle? But then I thought of the dead float I just saw in the water. Could it be that there are more of this kind of dead float in the hole in front?
These female corpses are so weird. Who are they? Their corpses have been soaked in water for thousands of years. Why haven't they rotted yet? And I always feel that this kind of dead floating corpse is not like what we usually call floating corpses. The strong resentment is to
I looked at the fossil altar several times to convey what it was conveying, but there were so few parts of the altar's polished paintings that could still be identified that I couldn't find any clues.
At this time, the big toads nearby dived into the water one after another, and the water suddenly calmed down. I looked around and found that the area around the fossil altar was relatively safe. Since they had been swimming in the water for too long, the three of them felt a little tired.
So we decided to take a short break here and eat some food to supplement calories. It was also necessary to readjust our action plan based on the current situation.
I was a little hesitant. My past experience gave me an ominous premonition. It was hard to make a decision for a while, so I had to ask the fat man for his opinion. This gourd-shaped ancient cave with its mouth is the location of the tomb of King Xian.
Xuan Palace, but the last stretch of the journey is unpredictable. No one can figure out the true identity of the mountain god and those dead floats. The most direct threat we face is the female corpse that disappears and appears under the water.
, of course it is possible to go back the same way, but you may not be able to find another entrance to the Tomb of King Xian. The key is to evaluate whether it is worth taking the risk.
He said to me: In fact, there is more information conveyed in the painting, but you didn't realize it. You see, the natives in this painting all have feathers on their heads. Only Wei's leader wears a horned helmet. The painting
The composition is too simple, so it is easy to overlook this detail. We have previously found a mask worn in wizard rituals in the jade coffin of the high priest who presented the king. I think the golden mask is related to this.
It is difficult to tell whether the native collar in the painting is a helmet or a mask. Only the two long curved corners are very obvious, indicating that this person's status is unique, even if it is not everyone's.
The chief is also a high priest in charge of important ritual activities.
I asked the fat man to take out the golden mask and take another look. The fat man never left those sacrificial utensils and kept them in his own carrying bag. When he took them out now, he saw that there were two slits on the top of the golden mask.
It has dragon horns or deer antlers, lion eyes and tiger mouth, and the ears are in the shape of fish ears. It combines the characteristics of various animals, and the shape is very weird. Moreover, on the decoration of the mask, many undulating eyeballs are cast. At first glance,
It is the same as the totem worshiped by the elite in the ancient desert city. A comparison of it shows that the horned helmet of the barbarian collar in the painting does somewhat resemble the shape of this golden mask.
Said: The fossil altar was painted first and has a history of at least three thousand years, while the tomb of King Xian came later and is only more than two thousand years old. I think maybe this secret hole in the ground is the only way to the outside world that can lead to King Xian.
The path to the tomb, and the so-called mountain god entrenched in the cave has been the object of worship and sacrifice by the local Yi people since ancient times. Therefore, King Xian’s men used the ancient traditional sacrificial rituals of the Yi people here. After the king’s tomb was closed, if you want to enter the Ming Dynasty
You only need to offer a large enough number of large toads to the gods in the cave, and you can pass here smoothly. At the end of the burial trench, you can see the wooden boats of the Qin and Han Dynasties, as well as those long, decayed toads.
The rods can prove that at least one such sacrificial ceremony was performed after the king's tomb was sealed.
After a pause, he continued: In addition, according to my understanding of animals, the large toads in the nearby waters should not live here, but gather in a wet source somewhere in the valley. This is just because the insects that have been breeding underground recently are in season.
It is during the egg stage that so many large toads are attracted.
The analysis that I just listened to was really eloquent. I admired: Chief of Staff Yang is far-sighted and analyzed so much information from just a mask that did not attract our attention at all. I think that King Xian is also an outsider, and he is a powerful dragon.
Do not suppress local snakes
The fat man was quite dissatisfied, and before I could finish my words, he said to me: This gourd cave leads to the tomb of King Xian. I was the first to see it before we came in. Please tell me who the mountain god and the female corpse are.
What is it? What kind of medicine is sold in this gourd?
He shook his head and said: I'm not a prophet, how could I know that? I just made inferences based on the clues at the moment. What is going on? How can I tell accurately without seeing it with my own eyes? But I think the information on the altar,
It should be real. Mountain gods and those female corpses both exist. Even if their original forms are very different from the understanding of the ancients, there must be some weird things in the cave.
Then he asked me: Lao Hu, you are a well-informed person. From what you have seen, what is the true face of this mountain god? Are we sure we can pass through this gourd cave?
I said to Fatty He: From what I can see, the black-faced mountain god has hard hairs on his face and his face is lifeless. He must be a thousand-year-old zombie living in a cave, and he has a lot of corpse poison on his body. That altar
The meaning of the grinding painting on the toad is very clear. The Yi people caught the big toad and hung it into the hole with a long pole. It was not eaten by something, but because the toad itself had venom glands. Once it encountered a more powerful poisonous gas attack
, it would release poison through the poison glands on its back to resist, and finally the essence and blood were exhausted by the corpse poison, so when it was taken out, it became dried toad meat. Only in this way can the old zombie be induced to temporarily release the corpse poison, and then use gold
Only when the mask restrained him could he pass through the Gourd Cave. Without this mask, an outsider who didn't know the details would inevitably be poisoned and die as soon as he entered the cave. There used to be such folklore in Yunnan. I
This inference is reasonable and well-founded, and I am not making it up randomly. However, I really can’t describe the dead floating corpses. I have never heard of them or seen them. I don’t know what relationship those female corpses have with the thousand-year-old rice dumpling spirit.
Although the fat man is not a strong-willed person, he is a little confused when he hears that there are ancient zombies from three thousand years ago that have become spirits. After all, no one has seen those things. With black donkey hooves and glutinous rice, who is sure that he can defeat them, so
Then he said: Political Commissar Hu, what you just said is that a strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake. This is so good and makes sense. No matter how you say it, the old zombie has lived here for so many years and has not broken any law or disorder.
They are disciplined and have not caused trouble in society. What does this mean? It means that they are very good people. They have never provoked anyone or provoked anyone. If we have to fight with them and insist on forcing our way through, we can rely on our skills.
, it’s not impossible, but it would seem that we don’t understand the truth. I think we might as well go around and give each other face, and we can live in peace.
Said: It is very possible to use toads to consume the poisonous gas in the cave, but I don’t think there may be any old zombies that have become spirits. How could the ancients regard zombies as mountain gods? This is absolutely impossible. It is just the naked body that appeared under the water.
The whole body of the corpse is faintly shrouded in a halo of netherworld. As soon as the female corpse appears, people will feel an inexplicable sadness, as if there is some kind of strong resentment. It seems that there will be more in the cave ahead.
There are so many, I don’t know what the tricks are, but I have to guard against this.
The fat man and I heard the word naked corpse and exclaimed at the same time: corpse. I knew I had made a mistake and hurriedly covered my mouth with my hands, but it was too late. We were very strange in our hearts: Why did the fat man say the same thing to me and he didn't even say the same thing?
The words are not bad, this guy is really a gangster.
Just now I saw the female corpse that suddenly floated up from the bottom of the water and disappeared quietly. Due to the suddenness of the incident, I didn't pay attention to whether the female corpse was naked. I only noticed that the floating corpse was a woman. She looked very young and had a layer of blood covering her body.
The cold and miserable white light, now that I think about it, it seems that it is indeed a naked corpse, but why is she not wearing clothes? Could it be that it is a real zombie if it is soaked in water, and it is naked and beautiful? I am curious, and suddenly I have
I got the idea to take a closer look.
I felt a little embarrassed when I just said the words about the naked female corpse, so I pretended to cough twice and said to the fat man: "We have arrived here, why don't we retreat if we don't advance? It's time for us to leave now. If you are brave enough,
Color, just put on a gas mask with me and crawl into the last section of the gourd cave. No matter what the ghost zombies are, no matter what is in the cave, as long as we are not afraid of sacrifice and overcome all difficulties, we will definitely win the final victory.
The fat man is a person who can't pretend to be troubled. At this time, he seemed a little excited. He slapped his thigh and said: That's it. Professor Chen's life is at stake. There is no room for further delay. Let's save people until the end. Send them to him.
The Buddha sent us to the west, and we have a heavy responsibility on our shoulders, so we cannot stop moving forward. We must strike while the iron is hot to succeed. This is the final struggle. In the end, we will surely achieve it. The mountains and rivers are fierce, and we cannot stop our ambitions.
Ambition, the sky is high and the clouds are pale, we cannot hold back the eagles in the sky. When the morning glow rises tomorrow morning, we will return to our homeland where we have been away for a long time with the joy of victory. Looking back on the days and nights of fighting, our hearts are still wet.
We must solemnly report to the motherland, for the happiness of mankind
Fatty and I suddenly became more positive about whether we should continue walking the last section of Hulu Cave, which made us a little confused. We looked at us with curious eyes. I saw Fatty nagging endlessly, so I hurriedly gave him a tug secretly.
, said in a low voice: You threw jars in the toilet, you are flying around with bad words, pretending to be a fucking grandson, don’t you just want to see the naked body? Don’t talk nonsense, hurry up and copy the guy to open the way. Book Alliance
