Scanned by the relatively small aperture of the flashlight, everyone could see clearly that this was still a stone statue.
It seems that the height is more than 30 meters, and the entrance of the corridor where everyone is sitting is parallel to the waist of the statue.
In other words, the exit of this corridor is suspended, and there is a drop of more than ten meters below.
There is such a large stone statue underground. Although this thing is dead and does not seem to pose any real threat, it is undoubtedly relatively rare.
"Could this be the image of the owner of the tomb?" Wei Xingshan muttered.
"Improbable." Miao Chengyun said, "If it is the image of the owner of the tomb, it must be placed outside.
If nothing else, just look at the cemeteries in our country. Now that they are advanced, will the photos of the deceased be posted on the tombstones
In the same way, if it is to show the identity of the owner of the tomb, this kind of statue should be placed outside.
And you look at such a big stone statue, it takes time and effort, and no one can see it hidden here. Isn't this blind? "
"En." Lin Shuo nodded, "But any giant stone statue must be some kind of symbol, which needs to be displayed, to express some spiritual things to the world, and it is often erected in a more eye-catching position.
For example, places such as ports and squares are crowded with people, and everyone can see them.
Building stone statues underground is like walking at night in brocade clothes, which is unreasonable.
The only possibility is that kind of sacrifice to the evil god who cannot see the light.
This kind of evil god did not match the mainstream values at the time, but there were also many believers, which is why such a huge stone statue was built in such a dark place as a key prop for sacrificial activities.
Moreover, it is such a big stone statue, it seems that there should be many believers at that time. "
Miao Chengyun took the flashlight from Wei Xingshan's hand, pointed the light at a specific position, and said, "The stone statue more than 30 meters high, due to the material of the stone itself, is formed under the action of gravity. It can't last for too long.
Either the arm fell off, or the face was gone.
This underground ancient tomb has been copied for more than three thousand years. For such a long time, the small stone statue may be preserved intact. It is unlikely that this kind of giant stone statue will be preserved so well.
Therefore, someone must be constantly maintaining and repairing.
You see, there are traces of repairs here. "
Lin Shuo nodded: "In other words, believers who believe in this kind of evil god may still exist today."
Wei Xingshan asked at this time: "Then you two have analyzed it for a long time. This stone statue is dressed in a strange way. Who is it? Did you recognize it?"
When Wei Xingshan asked this question, Lin Shuo and Miao Chengyun shut up and looked at Chu Hongyi.
They don't know much about Mayan culture, so they have to ask Chu Hongyi, a South American.
Chu Hongyi actually observed it for a while, then shook his head: "The style of this statue is not the image of a Mayan priest or chief.
Mayan nobles don’t like to wear clothes because of the hot weather near the rainforest, but they have many decorations on their bodies.
Most of these decorations are animal products, such as feathers, animal skins and the like, and then there are painted faces.
In addition, in order to show that they are almost god-like, the nobles also grafted bones, and buried the bones of other animals under the skin, making them look weird.
In short, the less human the Mayan nobleman was, the higher his status.
As for the owner of this ancient tomb, judging from the place where he was buried, his status should be extremely noble, and he should be able to correspond to the temple.
It stands to reason that the statue of this person should be enough for us to recognize him as a person.
But if you look at this stone statue again, the costume is indeed weird, but the face is normal, so it is unlikely to be a Mayan nobleman.
Then you look at the decorations on his body. His body looks like scale armor, piece by piece.
Scale armor did not exist in the Mayan civilization, and they didn't have any metallurgy. How could they have such a complicated armor-making process.
There are also two breastplates on his chest, which are protruding, and this style is even more strange. "
"Okay, old Chu, don't analyze it anymore." Miao Chengyun couldn't listen any longer, and pointed out, "This is a woman."
Chu Hongyi coughed twice in embarrassment, and fell silent.
When everyone analyzed the stone statue, they couldn't tell why, and the time was actually reserved for Tong Youyan to find out if there was any mechanism nearby.
Tong Youyan said at this time: "Use the flashlight to hit the left hand side."
Miao Chengyun quickly turned the phone to the left.
"A little lower." Tong Youyan corrected the position of the aperture, and then said, "See, there is a hole there."
"I see." Miao Chengyun asked, "Is this the exit?"
"It could have been an exit before, but it's not anymore. It's actually a water inlet for water to flow in." Tong Youyan said, "If there are no sea monsters outside right now, we can smash the sluice inside and go out along the water But in the current situation, there must be no accidents with this gate, otherwise, as soon as the gate is opened, water will come in, and the Kraken can also enter along the water."
"Then besides this, is there no other place to go?" Miao Chengyun asked, while scanning here and there with a flashlight to find another way out.
"You don't need to look for it, there is no other exit." Tong Youyan said, "Your information is very problematic. This is not an ancient tomb at all, but an altar of evil gods."
"But according to the records of my ancestors of the Chu family, this is an ancient tomb temple." Chu Hongyi said.
"That's really not certain." Miao Chengyun said at this time, "There is a hidden temple here, which we calculated based on the star map. There are three possible places, and this is just one of them.
I thought it was a temple at first, but then you, Old Chu, said it might be an ancient tomb, so I thought something might be wrong.
It's just that something happened to Trenrenzo here, so we still have to take a look.
Now it seems that this place is not the hidden temple recorded by the ancestors of your Chu family. We have stumbled into a very secret place by accident.
Then I felt that we planted flowers intentionally, but unintentionally planted willows and willows to make shade.
Old Chu, take a closer look at this statue, don't look at the lower body, just look at the upper body, don't you look familiar at all
Looking at this charming little face, as well as the scales all over the body, and the fins on the forearm, don't you have any associations at all? "
"Yes!" Chu Hongyi slapped his thigh at this time, "Isn't this the sea monster, mother."
"By the way, the two of us fought this thing at close range on the lake in Borneo." Miao Chengyun said, "Well, Lin Shuo was on the beach at the time, and his eyesight was poor, so he probably couldn't see clearly. "
"But, the sea monster has a fish tail, and this stone is like a human leg..." Chu Hongyi said.
"It's easy to explain." Miao Chengyun said, "The statue, it will have artistic processing, and this artistic processing often has its own purpose.
Look at the gods we enshrine in Huaxia, are they basically human
It's the same here, you have to make this thing human-like, and put human legs on her, so that it can be easily accepted by believers.
Based on this, I can speculate that more than 3,000 years ago, in South America, far away from Eurasian human civilization, the people here were once worshiped by sea monsters.
At the same time, there are quite a few people who worship this kind of sea monster, but it was not the mainstream of South American civilization at that time, so this kind of altar will be built in such a hidden place.
However, followers of this belief still exist today.
Combined with the four of our five elders of the Hunting Gate last year, the battle in the Andes Mountains killed the female demon, but the matter was not completely settled, and then the Amazon rainforest became a sea monster.
There is a series of events before and after, Lin Shuo, I feel that the context is relatively clear. "
Lin Shuo hadn't said much before, but now he said, "The siren species is problematic."
"That's right." Miao Chengyun said, "Back then, the four masters of Liemen, that is, you, my father, my mother and Uncle Cao, were once attacked by sea monsters.
Since then, my old man has been very concerned about the sea monster, and it has always been the focus of research.
It's just that it's hard to catch live sea monsters, so the progress is slow.
Now that the old man's cultivation level has also reached a new level, it is no problem to go to the sea to catch a sea monster, so he just wandered around the Pacific Ocean last month. He said he was looking for plants, but in fact he was studying to catch a sea monster.
He has already caught the siren, but it is just a specific research conclusion, we have to wait, but he told me some of his ideas before. "
"Second Uncle Miao is really strict." Lin Shuo frowned and said, "I didn't reveal anything to me here, so what did you say to test me?"
"That's because he was not alone on this trip to the Pacific Ocean." Miao Chengyun blinked at Lin Shuo, and Xun Feng said via voice transmission, "Guess, who is he with?"
Lin Shuo understood now.
Who else could it be, it must be my old lady.
The second uncle Miao was traveling with his old lady, so he hid it from him. The second old man played a double reed for him at home at that time, and then his old lady chatted with him at night, and he hesitated.
Lin Shuo looked a little helpless: "Second Uncle really is, he has treated me as his own all these years, even if I am a piece of ice, he has warmed me up.
It has been almost twenty years since my father passed away. For my mother, this period of time is even longer, in fact, it is a hundred years in Daxizhou.
I have been alone for hundreds of years, and no matter what choice she makes after she comes back, I will support her.
The two elders can have a relationship now, it is actually no problem here, there is no need for the second uncle to hide it from me. "
"My old man, the hurdles in your heart are not on your side. Whether you agree or not, do you think he really cares because of his temperament?" Miao Chengyun said, "The key is his elder brother, your father, he Feel sorry."
"Hey." Lin Shuo shook his head, "Yin and Yang are separated, so there's nothing to talk about."
"The turning point was last year, when we went to Africa." Miao Chengyun said, "One night when the chasing master made a fuss, our mother went in to take a look, but was scolded by your father who was chasing the heroic spirit at night."
"Ah? And this?" Lin Shuo was taken aback, "What did my father say?"
"What your father means is that he is gone, and our mother shouldn't continue to be a widow, and then ignore my old man from time to time. He looked angry and felt that our mother was not doing well. True. Then he asked Lord Chase to bring Aunt Xueping in and testify, and divorced our mother with a divorce letter." Miao Chengyun said, "Aunt Xueping told me about this secretly. "
"Ah?" Lin Shuo was stunned, "Why didn't my father tell me about this?"
"Hey, when parents divorce, they usually hide it from their children." Miao Chengyun said, "That's the way it is. Now the eldest wife of your Lin family is Aunt Xueping. Originally, I also I don't like to tell you, this is not the point of the conversation, you just pretend you don't know, anyway, let's not get involved in the affairs of the older generation."
"Well, that's the reason." Lin Shuo nodded.
These words of the two brothers are all private matters, so they naturally used Xunfeng's sound transmission.
The others just watched the two mouths open and close without making a sound. Wei Xingshan and Chu Hongyi were fine, they knew the way inside and didn't say anything.
Tong Youyan couldn't bear it anymore, and said at this time: "Then what happened to the sea monster, what did brother Guangqi say, Cheng Yun, you should continue to talk!"
Miao Chengyun had no choice but to get back to business, and said: "There is no empirical evidence for the evolution route of the sea monster species so far.
Such a powerful species with high intelligence and high combat effectiveness, if not limited in number, would be able to compete with humans for the top position of the food chain.
Then this thing seemed to appear out of nowhere, and somehow became king in the sea.
So my old man guessed that this thing should be written by Jiulong.
In recent years, as new clues continued to emerge, he gradually narrowed down the scope of his suspicions, and locked on the female demon.
Because Nuba's scientific and technological progress aimed at invading the earth is the fastest and most aggressive in Kowloon.
Moreover, the conditions of the Kowloon civilization were different in those days, and only the Nuba people were once a species in the water.
So if they want to restore the fire of civilization and reoccupy the earth, they also start from the water. After all, the environment is similar and the difficulty is small.
The ocean area of the earth is much larger than the land area. As long as the ocean is occupied, more than half of the earth will be taken.
Therefore, the sea monsters thousands of years ago should be their experimental products based on a certain species, similar to the marine version of mutants.
The subsequent incident in Africa was their attempt to go from the sea to the land, and at the same time they opened the virtual interface, and the real female consciousness began to flow over.
As a result, this step was too big, and the other nine dragons saw that the situation was not right, so they refused to agree, and only then did they have a ten-year agreement to restrain each other.
Based on the above speculations, the statue in front of us has another possibility besides the artistic processing that is conducive to the spread of religion. "
"What's possible?" Wei Xingshan asked.
Miao Chengyun swiped the flashlight to the statue's face; "Three thousand years ago, the one who showed this image in front of the world and was worshiped and believed in was the female security officer."
