Chapter 231: Snake Cave
The underground canyon was like the lowest level of hell in the abyss, full of jagged and huge prehistoric skeletons, the nearby scattered and collapsed stone pillars were insignificant compared to those skeletons, and most of them were buried in the grayish white layer of soil, so at the beginning, the people didn’t notice that there were remnants of human buildings here, until Ah Xiang pointed out that there was a huge black idol behind us, and only then did they realize that there were still so many stone pillars around us. There were so many stone pillars around.
Stone pillars are chiseled with some bull’s nose holes, some still remain thick into the child’s arm of the stone ring, in addition to the most eye-catching, is the stone pillars on the layer of eye totems, these totems we have seen countless times, can be described as commonplace, seen here again, do not think there are any surprises, the eye of the totem, in addition to the altar at both ends of the very strange, one end of the eye is the eye of the eyes of the eyes of the eyes of the eyes of the eyes of the eyes of the eyes of the eyes of the eyes of the eyes of the eyes of the eyes of the eyes of the eyes of the eyes of the eyes of the eyes of the eyes of the eyes of the eyes of the eyes of the eyes of the eyes of the eyes of the blood dripping blood, the rest of them are The ones on this stone pillar belong to the more common kind of pattern, and I didn’t see any difference.
However, after Shirley Yang saw the totems on these stone pillars, she seemed to have noticed some kind of abnormality, and had to take a closer look at Ah Heung’s eyes. Shirley Yang probably wanted to avoid Ah Heung’s nervousness, so she used a consultative tone, which was no different from her usual speech.
Ah Xiang nodded to indicate agreement, face expression timid, probably she also feel puzzled, carefully look at the eyes is what it means? So Shirley Yang held her breath, stood at a very close distance, staring at Ah Heung’s eyes, as if to find something in her eyes.
I understand Shirley Yang although said lightly, but there must be what we did not think of the problem, A Xiang this girl’s behavior, but also really not quite right, a good end of the even sent out of the soul disease, holding a sharp stone to stab their eyes, perhaps really as the same as the uncle Ming said, she hit the evil, perhaps she is not now that we know that A Xiang, more likely her eyes and the evil Luo Haicheng has some kind of connection, could she be the same as we know, she is not the same as we know, she is not the same as we know. She may not be the same as the one we know now, more likely, her eyes have some kind of connection with the evil Luo Hai City, could she be a ghost mother demon consort beside us?
I guessed randomly in my mind, turned several thoughts, but it seems to be not like, see Shirley Yang staring at Ah Xiang’s eyes, so also and the fat man went over to look at, want to see Ah Xiang’s eyes in the end some of the what, but looked at half a day also did not see what strange place.
At this time Shirley Yang seems to have found the answer from the eyes of Ah Heung, she first told Ah Heung not to worry, nothing will happen, and then let us take a look at the eyes on the stone column, although it looks very similar to the rest of the totems in the “Wicked Luo Hai City”, but there is a detail that is unique, here in front of the eyes of the pattern, in the pupil of the outer edge of a circle of linear red bumps, and the eye of the eye. Shirley Yang said, “Look at Ah Xiang’s eyes, there is something similar.
I just realized that I didn’t notice that subtle difference, if you look carefully at Ah Xiang’s pupil, you will find that there is really a blood scar, such as a line around, that blood scar is like a blood filament in the white of the eye, but it is extremely subtle, if you don’t look carefully you can’t see it at all, if it’s not Ah Xiang who broke into the cave, we may not find this place, and her eyes are even similar to the totem here, she intentionally led us here! Is she intentionally leading us here? But in front of Ah Xiang, I didn’t say this out loud.
Shirley Yang knew that what happened just now would easily make the crowd suspicious, and they would inevitably suspect Ah Heung. Shirley Yang didn’t believe in the reincarnation of the eyes, so she explained that the bioelectricity emitted by the human body through the eyes is only about seven percent of the V, which is very weak, but everyone’s physique is different, and there are differences in the ability to sense bioelectricity, and Ah Heung’s eyes can sense things that ordinary people can’t capture, which, although it’s not the case, is not the case for the human body. Can not capture things, this is very special, but nowadays in the world, there are many similar to her so have a special physique of people, this black giant elephant near there must be something can be close to the bioelectricity in the eyes of Ah Xiang, so she was subconsciously lured to this place, the totem on the stone pillars is the best evidence.
Uncle Ming heard and hurriedly said, it is good that everything is fine, we had better hurry to the north, early to leave this place, so do not bother about what ghosts are here …….
Uncle Ming’s words just said half, Ah Xiang suddenly said: “useless godfather, there is no road to go, there are a lot of poisonous snakes in the back chasing over, we will die, I …… am afraid of snakes, I do not want to be bitten by snakes to death ……. “Said the words and shed tears.
Ah Xiang’s words made the group feel very surprised, how to say come? Thinking of those black snakes in the white tunnel of the thunder mountain, still creepy, in this underground Grand Canyon if you encounter a group of snakes, there is not even a place to hide, running forward is not a solution, two legs and how to run over those who swim like the wind of the black snakes, the two sides of the ancient wall are like a knife, even apes and monkeys are afraid to climb to the.
At this time the east side of the cave, and rock crystal veins between the gap between the sound of the group of snakes have been vaguely heard, Uncle Ming face like dirt, a tug on my arm: “Hu old brother, this time can count on you, fortunately listened to you to the north, north of the water, there is water will be able to have a way of life, if you do not listen to you just now to go back to the road, and now more than likely to have been buried in the belly of the snakes, let’s quickly flee to the north to go. ” With these words, he wanted to pull me to run forward.
I hurriedly put Uncle Ming’s hand to hold down: “Don’t panic, the front of a flat river, escape the past will die, I see now only first to that black giant statue, seal the hole to block the snakes, and then think of other ways to get out.”
The sound of the snakes swimming like a wild tide surging, not yet seen its shape, has been the sound of the first shocked by the heart chills, no longer have the slightest delay, I let the fat man on the back of the Ah Xiang, tugging Uncle Ming spread wide open stride, ran to the bottom of the black giant statue of the cave door, the tall statue of the gods was hollowed out, the light is very dark, we use a flashlight to scan the surrounding situation, there is a wood and stone structure of the building, the top there are many layers, it looks like it can lead directly to the giant statue, and then to the bottom of the cave door, the tall statue of the gods, the light is very dark, we use the flashlight to scan the situation, there are wood and stone structures, there are also many layers. It looked like it could lead right up to the head of the giant statue.
A large group of black snakes have been approaching, it is too late to look closely at the internal situation, Fatty threw Ah Xiang on the ground, with me and Uncle Ming moved two large stone slabs, blocked the way, the gaps are also stuffed with gravel, and then heard the snakes have been surging to the door, blocked the door, the feeling of nervousness did not have any relaxation, the legs are a little bit soft, Fatty and I used to be in the wild to catch a lot of snakes, but not only the number of these black snakes is large, and travel like electricity, toxicity of the fierce can be said to be stained, but it’s also a very strong snake, and it is a very strong snake, and it is a very strong snake. But this kind of black snake is not only numerous, but also travels like electricity, the toxicity of the fierce can be said to be dipped in the death, touch is death.
We are not only worried about this giant statue within there are other crevices, the guys discussed, why not go to the top, relatively speaking, the top to be safer, in order to economize on the use of light, only open a headlamp, and a flashlight, to go up and found that this is not insurance, the giant statue of the interior is chiseled out of a number of rooms are not adjacent to each other, the overall shape of the beehive with that “evil Luo HaiCheng “Similar to the overall shape and the hive-like” Wicked Lohai City “but the structure is not so complex, cave-like cave room is small, I think this may not be for people to live in the place, is too narrow and depressing, if people live in it, it will not take long to suffocate to death, here are dusty everywhere, air circulation is very poor, if we are five people, in a narrow area delayed a little too long, would be If the five of us are delayed for a little longer in a small area, we will feel the lack of oxygen and chest tightness.
Straight climbed to the fourth floor, only to feel a cool wind will pour in, in the dark aisles, along with the cool whooshing air flow touch over, will see a one meter square hole, this is a giant statue of the lower part of a vent, due to the statue of the whole is black, so in the underground can not see here, if not for those who fell down the stone columns, and not even too easy to find the bottom of the entrance.
I lie down in front of the hole, poking out from a high place to look down, the bottom of the fluorescent trance, can only see a group of twisted wriggling black snakes, are gathered in the statue of God under the area between the big one is as thick as a human arm, the small one is shaped like a willow leaf, the head of the black eyes, the group of snakes, some of them lazily coiled, there are also fighting each other hissing and biting, the number of more and more gathered, that wriggling thing to see more, let a person feel nauseous.
Shirley Yang said to us, “These snakes are acting strangely, not like they want to climb in and attack us, but like they are waiting for something to happen?”
Fatty put Ah Xiang down and took a breath himself, then said, “I think they are waiting for us to go down and give them a meal.” Raising his arm to look at the time on his watch, he added, “Isn’t it just time for dinner.” Ah Xiang was fat man’s words scared lightly, hands and knees sitting on the ground shivering, Uncle Ming see this also some soul, asked me what to do now, there is no food, the kettle of water is not much, it is impossible to always hide inside the giant statue, and this giant statue inside the stone house look let a person goosebumps, even the Ah Xiang said that this place gives her a headache, we this time is considered to be into the dead end, inserted the wings also can not fly out.
My heart is also very uneasy, the outside is certainly not out, and this black statue of God in the abdomen of the building, also does not look like it is for people to live, God knows what will be here, but now we must stabilize the mood of the group, and then find a point to stabilize the mood of the excuse, said to the crowd, in fact, not only is the north of the water, the five elements of the black also represents the water, the huge statue of the God is the black stone, naturally also belongs to the water, so I think we hid to the Here, there is definitely no danger to our lives.
I suddenly thought of some ways, then said to the group, just now at the bottom of the canyon, we have seen the stone pillars and bones on the fossil, there is a layer of volcanic cocoon, there are many big bags on the ground, that should be the previous eruption of volcanic bombs, and the air temperature is also much higher than other places, these signs indicate that there is a volcanic belt, although we found a dead volcano in the lake, but that is not the same as the whole volcanic belt, the snakes like Yin Yin. Although we found a dead volcano in the lake, it does not mean that the whole volcanic belt is dead, the snakes like the cold, they are from the east of the cave over, they would never dare to get too close to the north, the more north the smell of sulfur will be the more dense, we just need to find a way to get rid of the snakes to escape forward for a mile or two, will be able to get out of the trap safely, I think we can use the materials here to make some torches to retreat from the snakes.
Uncle Ming listen to my words there is a big hole, then said: “not right ah, here all the snakes are black, it seems to belong to the water, although I do not know much about the number of easy, but I know that the water can restrain the fire, so although the snakes like the cold, but they dare to come here, in addition to our encounter with the water to be born, how do you dare to light a torch? Isn’t this a violation of the taboo of collision?”
I said this old Hong Kong farmers really hateful, dare to talk to me about the principle of the five elements, the five elements of the reason is like a wheel reason, how to say can be said round, Hu master I can stir up three reason, can let you argue down? So to Uncle Ming said: “The sky is a water, the earth two fire, the sky three wood, the earth four gold, the sky five earth, the five positions and five shapes are all five and together, so the Hetu in the number of odd numbers of the Yang Peony, the number of even numbers of the Yin for the consort, and the number of yin and yang in the big number of the change of position, so that the consort to the five and become. Modern people only know that water and fire, but do not know the water for the fire of the Peony, fire for the water of the Consort, today’s people only know that water in the north, fire in the south, but do not know the five elements of the peak and decline of the age of the star related to the Ming uncle you only know that water and fire, but do not know that if the fire and water, if the fire is weak, strong fire as well, you can also be deceived by the decline of the water, which means that you do not know the ancient method, we are in the statue of God is dozens of meters high, compared to the group of snakes of the black to us this is the peak of the water, those snakes is the decline of the water! So we can use the fire to retreat the bad water, but the fire can’t be stronger than our water, otherwise we are also in danger.”
Uncle Ming listened to the eyes are straight, after half a day to say: “too …… too high, so I often say to AXA, the future to marry will have to marry the Gold Touch School Captain …… or no success.”
Shirley Yang suddenly gently waved his hand, signaling the group to stop talking, there is a movement outside, we are immediately alert, gently come to the mouth of the cave to spy on the movement below, but Shirley Yang is not letting us look at the snakes below, it pointed to the wall high above, that the upper side of the unknown when a long string of small white lights lit up, high up in the wobbly and a lot of numbers.
But the distance is too far away, and the crystal veins on the mountain wall have become scarce, fluorescent gray, what is that thing? I rubbed my eyes vigorously, still can’t see too clearly, and not like a lamp, as if standing countless small people in white, suddenly a white shadow in front of me, the crags have a slightly gentle rocky slope, a few large clusters of white things will roll down from the top, fell to the bottom of the canyon.
Snakes on the ground have to swim to those falling white objects, we are only a dozen meters from the ground, see what is still relatively clear, only to see those a large group of a large group of things, are some of the slimy ball-shaped things, the size of the grape beads, the black snakes scramble to squeeze past, around the surrounding will be stopped and not move, those white objects on the sudden emergence of a lot of bright red things, like out of thin air to bloom a red flower, but turn around and then the white objects, like out of thin air to bloom a red flower, but then the white objects, like out of thin air to bloom a red flower. A red flower, but instantly disappeared, suddenly red and dark, the more people see the more strange, and then gaze at the observation, this is to see, in a fossil skeleton embedded in the rock, coiled with a body several times larger than the same kind of black snakes, I do not know from which slipped out of the cracks in the rock, gulping blood-red snake letter, only to see that the snake all over the body scales and armor, black, light, strange and bizarre, open mouth salivation, saliva dripping out of his mouth fell to the ground, and immediately grew a small piece of the stone. The stone immediately grew a small piece of bright red poisonous fungus, in the twinkling of an eye and withered, with the birth and extinction, the snake’s toxicity of the fierce, has exceeded human imagination, the big snake from the bone and down, snake line to the middle of those white objects, one by one, they will be swallowed, the rest of the black snakes are quiet and playful respectful marquee, do not dare to move a little bit, it looks like to wait for them to eat the rest of the boss after the boss is what they are.
Fatty wondered, “What is that? Eggs?” Although I can’t see too clearly, but that big mass of white objects, should be the eggs of something, very much like a big termite or something like that, inside is also wrapped with many insects, dead animals, I also looked to the row of white small people in the high place, I have guessed eight or nine not very close to ten, to the crowd, said: “the upper part of the is those ground Goddess of Mercy, no wonder these black snakes endured the hot and dry here The environment, really is what the fat man said, is to eat, they eat enough will be dispersed, let’s be patient and wait for the opportunity, the earth Goddess of Mercy this beast is cruel and cunning, but also very greedy, they like to store food, even if they do not eat will also put things to the depths of the hide, I can not think of all the snakes are cheaper.”
The crowd heard me say so, only to put down the hanging heart, after all, those snakes are not rushing to us, and should not have discovered that we are hiding here, it will not take long, you can get out of danger, but A Xiang suddenly spoke up and said, “No, they have seen me …… I can feel it. ” After saying this, he lowered his head and was silent, looking very helpless.
I heard Ah Xiang said very solemn, this kind of thing she would not dare to joke, think of the bright red poisonous saliva out of that poisonous snake, I can not help but forehead began to see sweat, once again peeped out to the cave, only to see that the giant snake coiled in the fossilized whale of the Dragon King, is to the hole where we are head spitting letters.
I hastily retracted my body, yes, I could also feel that the snakes underneath must know of our existence, only I don’t know if they were planning to eat the ant eggs and attack again, or they didn’t dare to enter due to the fact that this statue of the god was a forbidden area, I asked Fatty to stay at the cave entrance to monitor the movement of the snakes, Shirley Yang, Uncle Ming and I had to make some torches in a hurry, I drilled into a stone house beside that cave entrance and held up a I drilled into a stone house next to the cave entrance, holding up a flashlight to illuminate, trying to find whether there is any oil storage equipment, time is long, but the ancient Tibetan yak fat or pine tree can be retained for a very long time, perhaps it can also be used to ignite the fire, just now when we came up, we have already seen that there does not seem to be any lamps here, this place does not see the light of the day, no lamps is really very unusual.
Holding a few points of luck, I took the flashlight to shine once again, the stone house in the four walls are empty, just in the corner, there is an ancient jade mask without eye holes, Shirley Yang in another stone house also found the same thing, I asked Shirley Yang will not be the devil’s mother of ghosts masks, those who can not be seen as the face of the people, is it that this giant statue of a building is for the ghost of the mother of the living?
Shirley Yang said: “No, the status of the Demon Ghost Mother is very high, she must be living in the temple of the Evil Luo Hai City, which has been completely destroyed, look at the environment here is very poor, it may not be too much to say that it is a prison, and the markings of the eyeballs are very special, similar to Ah Heung’s eyes, that kind of eyes should not be a ghost’s eyes, several generations of Ghost Mothers can only come out of a true to see the ghost cave, I think this will not be a mask of the Ghost Mother. Ghost Cave, I think this will not be used …… to imprison those eyes do not meet the requirements of the candidates? The stone pillars below have bull’s nose holes and stone rings, obviously used for brutal criminal law, those who were eliminated were probably locked up in that canyon and fed to the snakes.”
I nodded and said, “According to this, this place is indeed very much like a prison cell, but about this, I still have the biggest question I can’t figure out ……” Just as I said this, the fat man crawled back from the cave entrance in a hurry and asked me: “How’s the torch ready? I see that the snakes have started to drill in towards us, so we have to hurry if we want to light the fire.” Before Fatty could wait for me to answer, he suddenly lowered his voice and said to Shirley Yang and me, “You guys see what that chick is tossing around there?” I looked behind me to Ah Xiang, she was in a dark corner, her back facing us, and she herself was facing the black wall, using her hand in gently stroking that stone wall, her whole body shivering, suddenly turned back to us, with two lines of black blood running down her cheeks, and slowly raised her arm, stretching out her forefinger and pointing at the wall, saying, “There is a woman here. “
