'Dong dong dong', Surou took three steps back. Apparently the ferocious thing on the mural scared him. He was not a fool. Besides, everything on the mural was so obvious. He could at least see that. Guys are cannibals.
"This is not the worst, the worst thing is this!" I pointed to the relief on the top, casually handed the oil lamp up, and I could see the entire relief clearly.
Surou sat down with a frightened "Wow!" because there was a lifelike statue of the monster carved on the top of the room.
But Ling Ruyue was very calm. Logically speaking, the skull could scare her like that, but she was not afraid at all of this relief and the monster I just pointed out.
I saw it and asked: "Ruyue, aren't you afraid?"
"Why should you be afraid? I know this thing. People who keep poison will use its venom." As long as it involves poison, Ling Ruyue is not afraid.
"Have you seen it?" Su Rou also got up from the ground at this time. He was curious that Ling Ruyue had seen this kind of monster.
"I've seen it before. It's a kind of snake. Very few people in Gu Miao Village have this kind of snake. It's a very powerful poison. We call it 'Black Man', which means black mandrake flower. The legendary Huangquan Road There are red datura flowers blooming on it. If you step on the road to hell, you are on the road of no return, and if you see this kind of snake, you are on the road of no return." Ling Ruyue said seriously.
Blackman? My mind was so dizzy that I had never heard of it. With my limited knowledge, I only knew about venomous snakes such as black mamba and green mamba. When did a 'black mamba' appear
I looked at Ling Ruyue in disbelief. Isn't this little girl talking nonsense
But Ling Ruyue just said lightly: "It's powerful, but not top-notch. There are strange poisonous insects and snakes in this world. There are all kinds of strange things. You don't know if they are normal. Yes, you Han people also have a saying about it, it's called ' "Zhulong', it's really rare for it to grow into such a big one."
"It has horns, it has claws!" Surou still didn't believe it was a snake.
"Any living thing will mutate when it reaches a certain level, let alone something as spiritual as a snake?" As she said that, she looked at Surou mysteriously: "Have you ever seen a mutated fox?"
"I x, don't tell me this, I'm afraid." Surou doesn't want to hear it anymore. Who is interested in hearing this among the dead
"Mutation? Are you talking about becoming a spirit through cultivation?" I have heard a lot of these legends, but it's a pity that my master doesn't give any advice.
"Yes, it has become a spirit. This 'Blackman' is neither fish nor fowl. It is still early to become a spirit. It was probably discovered by someone and used as a sacred object. But why should the sacred object be buried with it?" The girl bit her nails. , I don’t know what I’m thinking.
I took a deep breath and said: "Ling Ruyue, I am seriously asking you, why are you not afraid?"
"Because it's dead!" Ling Ruyue said lightly.
"It's dead?" I didn't believe it.
"Let's go, we can see it if we go down. Anyway, when we get to the tomb, grandma and the others won't be too far away." Ling Ruyue had strong confidence.
And I decided to believe her. This was an unknown area for me. I could only believe her. I didn’t even know what Zhulong was.
"Sanwa'er, what did you mean when you said the worst thing wasn't this?" Surou saw Ling Ruyue and I leaving and quickly caught up and asked.
"It's very simple. There are carvings of 'Blackman' here, which shows that this is its territory. Plus there are so many human bones on the ground. I think this is a breeding room. Have you forgotten the history lesson? In the slave era, those sacrificial activities People are always buried in piles together, and this is where snakes eat." Actually, I don't know the specific reason, I just felt this way when I saw this carving.
"Yes, snakes eat food, digest what they can digest, and spit out what they can't digest. These human bones are very complete." Surou, like me, grew up in the countryside, so I still have these insights.
But no matter how you think about it, it makes people feel creepy. I don’t want to see the snake eating.
This tomb was not big, so we walked out quickly. According to the text under the mural, this was the only place where we could safely enter the main tomb. The reason why the tomb robber was so angry was because he did not expect the black line. Man' can live that long.
I don’t know the history, but I know that since the tomb robber wrote in ancient traditional Chinese, he must be an ancient person. At this point, I believe Ling Ruyue, we are more than a hundred years away from the ancients, even the most recent Qing Dynasty. .
Then it's impossible for 'Heiman' to survive until now, right
After leaving the tomb, there is another tomb passage. The difference from the tomb passage above is that the tomb passage above is paved with blue bricks, but this is just a simple dirt passage, and you can see the human bones within a few steps. It looks like a A place where livestock is kept.
There are several tomb chambers on both sides of the tomb passage, and without exception, they are full of human bones. I simply can’t imagine how many people this black man has eaten.
The dirt road is not long, and it ends after a short walk. The green brick floor is connected with the dirt road. This is a hall. Through the light of the oil lamp, you can faintly see a platform. There seems to be something piled on the platform. thing.
The three of us looked at each other and walked forward quickly. Anyway, when we get here, we always want to see if there is anything new. The piles of things are motionless. I don't think there is any danger.
When I got close to the platform, I took the oil lamp and shined it on the things on the platform. This time, I fell to the ground.
Because there is a huge skeleton on the platform! Those are snake bones!
Ling Ruyue also covered her mouth and kept cursing: "***, ***..."
I couldn't measure how big the bones were, but the platform was almost half the playground of our school, and the bones almost filled the entire platform. I saw the snake's head, the snake's head's bones! Sure enough, there is a corner! Very ferocious horns!
It was difficult for the three of us to calm down. Fortunately, it was dead and had turned into a pile of bones. Otherwise, if we faced it alive, not to mention its strange poison, but its size, the three of us would be three ants. .
"This... I'm afraid this one is half as big as me." It took Surou a long time to say this.
Ling Ruyue was the fastest to calm down. She touched the platform carefully, and there was an expression of regret on her face: "You are so rich. Such good materials are used to build a platform."
"What materials?" I don't understand. Is this platform different
The color of this platform is a very strange gray. When you get close to it, you feel a little cold. This coldness first enters your heart and then spreads to your body from the inside out.
"What kind of material it is, I can't say. Anyway, the Gu that is used to raise Xiyin is very good. No wonder this black man can grow so big. I have never heard of such a big 'black man' in the village." Passed." Ling Ruyue sighed.
Negative material? I thought about the previous Yin Gathering Formation, which was destroyed by Master. Could it be... because of this 'Black Man'? No, what happened to the hungry ghost
I found that the deeper I went into this ancient tomb, the more mysteries surrounded me.
While I was thinking, my hands began to touch around unconsciously. As a result, I accidentally touched the bones of Hei Man. A bone-deep coldness suddenly spread throughout my body, as if the Hei Man came to life. , staring at me coldly.
I screamed strangely and immediately moved my hand away. At this moment, I discovered a very serious problem, so much so that I was speechless while pointing at the bones.
"Sanwa'er, Sanwa'er, what's wrong with you?" Surou first noticed something was wrong with me, like an asthmatic who inhales but can't get it in.
And Ling Ruyue was also frightened by my appearance. I don't know what Ling Ruyue thinks of me, but I can at least be sure that she thinks I am a calm person, otherwise she wouldn't face the obstacle so calmly. , what does this look mean
Su Rou was anxious, slapped me in the face, and yelled: "Sanwa'er, you are talking!"
Thanks to the effect of Su Rou's slap, I finally felt relieved. I pointed at the snake bone and said, "Look carefully, what can you find?"
