The black snake outside is still staring into the canyon, and I'm afraid it won't leave in the short term.
Walking further inside, the terrain is a little downward, and the surrounding stone walls are gradually getting higher. The black snakes are only half-circled outside, and they can no longer be seen here.
Ye Wu kicked a stone and looked down. It was a stone like a snake head.
He suddenly asked in surprise: "Are the stone shapes so amazing these days?"
It can directly turn into a snake head. If he hadn't seen that it was a stone just now, he would have thought that the mysterious snake had used some method to get in!
Long You bent down to pick up the stone and looked at it.
"This is obviously a statue!" He said speechlessly, and then looked at the other gravel on the ground.
There are large pieces of gravel in the grass, and some snake heads can also be seen.
But besides these, there are other statues.
The three of them searched in the grass for a while, and sure enough they found several fragments of claws carved into animals, as well as several tiger heads.
The rest are difficult to identify.
As they walked further inside, they could see more gravel, some were pressed down by trees, some were lying in front of them, some were so broken that nothing could be distinguished, but some were relatively complete.
Ye Wu and the others looked at these statues. They were tigers, snakes, and seemed to have human legs. In short, they couldn't tell what kind of statues they were.
"But there seems to be really no danger here." Ye Wu said.
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and saw a statue standing directly in front of him.
The statue did not suffer any damage.
Ye Wu and the others immediately looked over.
The statue has a tiger head and human body, with very sharp claws. It is holding a snake's head in both hands, and the snake's body is wrapped around its arms.
The snake's tail is clinging to a strange gear behind the tiger's head.
There seems to be some special words engraved on the gears.
"What is this?" Ye Wu looked at the other rubble around him and compared it, "It seems that all the statues look like this?"
Long You touched his chin and said: "This should be a statue of Qiang Liang, a legendary beast that is regarded as a god in some places and a spiritual totem."
"Qiang Liang?" Ye Wu looked at him curiously.
"According to ancient books, in the wilderness, there is a mountain named Beiji Tianqi, and the sea water is in the north. There is also a god who holds a snake and manipulates it. It has the shape of a tiger's head and a human body, with four hooves and elbows. It is named Qiangliang, and Qiangliang itself also represents
It has the power of thunder, so there are not a few people who believe in it."
The power of thunder is the most difficult to master.
Long You swallowed these words because he thought of Ye Lan'er.
Ye Lan'er has the power of thunder, which can really summon thunder, which is different from the manifestation of the mirror hall master's technique.
Thinking that Ye Wu has such a powerful sister, and that there are even more than one such powerful sister, and there are even more powerful ones, Long You deeply realizes that there is a huge gap between people.
Ye Wu secretly remembered Long You's words.
"Then why are there so many statues here?"
There seems to be no road ahead, there is a towering stone wall.
This canyon is only so big in total, and this stone statue seems to be of little use to them getting out of here!
"It should have been left by people with strong beliefs in the past. The desert may not have been a desert before. Now there are some cloth people living in the oasis. There may have been people here before." Long You speculated.
"But where do they live?" Ye Wu looked around blankly at the narrow canyon. Although the spiritual power on the ground was so strong that it allowed vegetation to multiply, it looked unsuitable for living here.
"There's no water here!" He looked around and said.
"Yes." Long You also just thought of this problem. There are many flowers and plants here, but there is no water.
"Generally speaking, even if there is spiritual power, plants cannot grow here without water! There may be an underground river underneath, maybe it was outside before."
Ye Wu accepted this statement and did not hesitate anymore, and continued to stare at the huge statue.
The statue is so lifelike that every hair on Qiang Liang's body seems to have been carved out.
For example, the dark and light lines on the head can be expressed in statues, and the few slender beards, which seem to be broken by the wind, have survived in this canyon for countless years.
Ye Wu immediately felt admired.
In addition to Qiang Liang himself, the same is true for the two flower snakes on his arms. Each scale is carved delicately and softly. If it were a different color, it would really look like a living snake.
The runes on the gears on the back are also clearly identifiable. The gears themselves are not coherent and are divided into four pieces, with only one square in the middle connecting them.
"What are these runes?" Ye Wu asked.
"Hmm... I can't tell, it's probably because of their handwriting." Long You doesn't know everything.
This kind of tribe that is unknown in the desert may not be recorded in books.
"oh……"
Ye Wu nodded, gave up the runes, and looked at the statue again.
The more he looked at it, Ye Wu felt that the sculpture became more delicate.
"You can even see the two nose hairs in its nostrils!" Ye Wu sighed.
"By the way, it shouldn't be alive, right?"
As Ye Wu said this, he was also startled by his own thoughts. He took two steps back and stared at the statue of Qiang Liang.
"This is too real." Can carving really portray the statue to this point? Every hair is so clear, it's too...
Long You burst into laughter. He got the branch from nowhere in his hand.
He stepped forward and poked Qiang Liang's face with a branch.
"It's just a fictitious existence. It's hard to say whether Qiang Liang really existed. Besides, what if it really did exist?"
He patted Qiang Liang's shoulder and said with a smile: "It's just a statue. It can't really be Qiang Liang, right? After all, there are so many statues here, and they are all Qiang Liang. He would have ruled the world long ago! If this statue were
Stay alive and let him bite me!"
As he finished speaking, a piece of gravel fell on his head.
Long You immediately raised his hand, took off the stone, looked at it, and found that it seemed to be the surface stone skin of the statue.
He subconsciously looked up.
I saw Qiang Liang had cracks starting from his left ear.
Before long, those cracks had expanded throughout the body, and more and more stone skins fell off.
Under the fallen stone skin, there are golden hairs.
It's a red black snake with a hint of brown.
It is a wooden gear engraved with golden runes.
A pair of golden brown eyes rolled down.
The huge tiger face slowly lowered its head, turned its head, and looked at the person standing on its left side. The beard on its nose trembled slightly.
The two mysterious snakes also closed their open mouths and stared at Long You with a pair of vertical pupils. Snake Xinzi hissed and spat out.
Long You opened his mouth wide, and stabbed Qiang Liang's chest with the branch in his hand, and put one hand on Qiang Liang's shoulder, as if they were two brothers.
