Chapter 215 X-ray
Without the skin of the yak head, suddenly active, good thing that fat man and I have mental preparation in advance, fat man raised his gun to fight, I hurriedly see that the head of the yak although very strange, but did not want to hurt us, so I will first stop fat man, take a closer look at what is going on with this yak head.
Yak in the living, first be alive to peel off the skin, and then slaughter this behavior we once saw in the reincarnation of the temple murals, this is nothing strange, as an ancient heritage, symbolizing the first release of the soul, so that the flesh can be eaten without fear.
It turns out that this slaughterhouse has a large wooden fence can be clamped in the middle of the cattle, both sides of the front and back can be retractable activities, so that the cattle clamped in which, any of it how much brute force, but also can not be exerted, the butcher can be slaughtered at will.
The body of the yak’s head was clamped in the bloody wooden fence, the skin of the cow’s body was not peeled off, the cow’s tail was still twitching, and in front of the empty headless cow’s cavity, a heavy axe with the head chopped off fell, and the cow’s head that we saw was hung up in mid-air by a rope, and the cow’s eyes were still rotating, and it seemed to be that the cow’s head was chopped off in the instant, and that the time here suddenly froze and no longer passed, and that the yak had always been fixed in the –The yak was fixed at the moment before its life signs were about to disappear.
The separation of the body and the head, but the signs of life have not disappeared within a few seconds or even a few minutes, is very common in the biological world, after the head of the chicken has been cut off, the headless body of the chicken will still be able to run for a long time by itself, and in the ancient times there were executed criminals who were decapitated, and in the moment the head fell to the ground, if someone shouted out the death penalty’s name, the head of that criminals will still react, this is due to the nerves have not yet been killed.
But that was just a momentary thing, from the time Fatty and I found this yak head which was not yet cleanly dead to now, it has been maintaining this kind of appearance between life and death, did it just stop for thousands of years? Not only this big unlucky yak, but also all the grass and trees in the whole “Wicked Lohai City”, including the lighted lamps, unfinished works, slaughtered yaks, boiled beef, and the bloody handprints on the stone door, were all frozen in the last seconds, and there was not even half a human being in the whole empty city, which is all related to the destruction! “Was it all related to the destruction of the city? What kind of disaster would have such a horrible power?
Thinking about what we just ate, may be a pot of beef boiled for thousands of years, can’t help but a little stomach, the phenomena in the city is really too incredible, or first withdraw to the outside of the city is safer, wait until tomorrow after the dawn of the main hive into that hive of the main city, so Fatty and I called Shirley Yang and others, with the things to take the original way back.
I looked up at the sky, the night has long since fallen, but the light in this “Wicked Luo Hai City” is still the same as when I first found this place, as in the dusk of the twilight, although there are many lights, but it looks very hazy trance, perhaps even the light of the destruction of the ancient city have stayed forever, if not for the Ah Xiang has confirmed that , I would have thought it was a ghost town.
As I walked, I briefly told Shirley Yang about the situation in the slaughterhouse, Shirley Yang, however, thought that this place was not as simple as being lost outside the orbit of time, for example, cooked beef cooked in a pot is indeed rotten and tasty, and when you eat all of it, it won’t reappear on its own, and everything in the city is fixed to a certain point in time, and if it’s not affected by an external force, it will never undergo any changes, and the outer The sky outside turns from dark to pitch black, the time of the watch is also very normal, which means that the time around us is still the normal flow of time, in addition there is another point that is most easily ignored, the things in the “Wicked Lohai City” is not static, can only say that it is permanently retained in a particular form, is not the cause of the time is not solidified, so we can temporarily exclude the chaos generated by space and time. Temporarily exclude the chaos of space and time this conception, but can not know the reason for the formation of this phenomenon, in order to facilitate the name, let’s call the “Wicked Lohai City” in the moment like eternity, called the “X line”, a completely stayed in the “X line”. “X line” on the mysterious ancient city, “X” means unknown.
Want to solve the “X line” of the mystery, we must figure out the “evil Luo Hai City” in the last moment what happened, but also need to wait until dawn, and then enter the city to see if there are any changes to further confirm that perhaps in the depths of the hive castle, in order to find the answer to the truth. Perhaps in the depths of the hive castle, the answer to the truth can be found.
I was the ancient city of strange things to make a big head, can not feel half a mind, even want to go crazy, at this time listening to Shirley Yang’s analysis, found that her thinking is very clear, it seems that people than people have to die, the goods than the goods have to be thrown, but perhaps my life is to be the leader of the material, so did not grow a can be a staff officer’s mind.
We climbed back to the “wind-eroded lake” side of the green rock, looking back at the night of the “evil Luo sea city”, it is quietly trapped in the ground, still flickering countless lights, but the city’s light is still as dim as dusk, it seems to tomorrow morning, the city is still the same. It seems that by tomorrow morning, the city will still look like this.
A round trip, Uncle Ming and Ah Xiang have been physically exhausted, due to the forest in the “mottled scaly” infested, we do not dare to go down to the rock, so we have to find a sheltered place on the green rock to rest, ready to rest until dawn, then into the main city to find out the truth.
So take turns to watch the night, the next day when dawn, I found Shirley Yang has woken up, is focusing on looking through our “reincarnation of the temple” found in the “Bible map”, overhead clouds are very thick, through the cloud gap shot down the sun is not The clouds overhead are very thick, and the sunlight coming down through the clouds is not sufficient, the valley surrounded by the dangerous peaks is very dark, and the “Wicked Lohai City” under the rock seems to be completely cut off from the world as if it is still the same as before, with the lights in the city flickering but surprisingly quiet, and the whole city stays on the “X line”.
Shirley Yang said she had a premonition, if we can’t find the secret of the “X line” today, I’m afraid that the group will never leave the valley after the “door of disaster”, this is simply a “desperate situation! “It’s a desperate place.
I know Shirley Yang this map is very badly damaged, is a Portuguese priest to steal the “reincarnation sect” secrets, he wanted to go digging treasure, but not waiting for the trip, the priest will be due to religious conflict was killed, we can never tell the map drawn in the terrain is actually the “land of the roc”, or “the land of the roc”, or “the land of the roc”, or “the land of the roc”. We could not tell whether the terrain drawn in the map was the “Land of the Roc Bird” or the “Palace of the Phoenix”, so we asked Shirley Yang if she had made any new discoveries.
Shirley Yang said: “and the nearby terrain comparison, can be concluded that the Bible map is the Phoenix Palace of God – the evil Luo Hai City map, but did his best, but only the Portuguese priests secretly painted drawings recovered less than thirty percent, and is still east of a piece of, west of a piece of, do not connect with each other! Connections …… But if time permits, I can complete the missing parts of the map according to the environment here.”
If there is a map of the ancient city, even if only a part of it is used as a reference, it would definitely be a great help to us, I got up my spirits, woke up Fatty, Uncle Ming and Ah Xiang one by one, and distributed the few remaining food to the group as breakfast, after this meal, there would not be any reserves left, except for going down to the lake to touch the fishes, the only way would be to go to the city to cook the beef and eat it by ourselves.
Again into the city, Uncle Ming again with me to discuss, do not enter the city is fine, why not go over the mountains to find a way out of that ancient city is so strange, why bother to take the risk.
I pretended not to hear, thinking that I and Fatty, Shirley Yang three people, in order to find the “phoenix gall” root, pay a lot of effort, it is not easy to get here, how can you easily give up, would rather die in front of the array, not after the array of death, and immediately walked a few steps, grabbed the first into the city.
In addition to the things we touched, the rest of the things did not change, even the layer of light mist in the city is still the same, the fat man directly to the slaughterhouse, cut a few large pieces of “fresh” yak meat spare.
Last night, I wanted to wait until dawn, to see the structure of the tall “hive” and then straight to the dragon, but the city’s light is still dim, in the “hive” under the head up to look at the lights in the main city, as if quietly attached to the hive of a thousand fireflies, that kind of atmosphere, bring a person a kind of intimidating, and the atmosphere of the city is still very dark. The atmosphere brought a sense of urgency and pressure.
Exposed on the top of the “big hive” is only half, the larger part of the deep in the ground, according to the values of the magic country, the important power institutions, should be in the ground, so we walked around the city, find the largest one cave into the “hive” inside, inside the The density of the caves and the complexity of the structure is like a honeycomb ant nest, which makes people wonder whether the inhabitants are human beings or insects.
In the late 1960s and early 1970s, when the whole country was digging deep holes and accumulating food, reactionary elements who had sneaked outside the country had maliciously attacked us, saying that we were the “gray” ones, or else why did the whole country follow us in digging holes? That kind of “human defense” facilities I also dug, but compared to this underground “evil Lohai City”, it seems a little small, perhaps many of these caves are naturally exist, otherwise alone with the manpower and equipment, it is difficult to imagine making this kind of project.
We look for the largest channel towards the ground, here the channel and both sides of the cave, there are lights lighting, every forward a section, Shirley Yang will use the pen to the terrain on paper, she draws sketches very fast, all the way down, did not delay too much time, on the drawing of a simple and practical road map.
From time to time, I use the “wolf eye” flashlight to irradiate the cave houses on both sides, most of the cave houses without lights, are empty, there are still some holes, some damp places, but also gathered a lot of bigger than rats roe deer roach, with the butt of the gun can not be pounded to death, the deeper we go, the number of cave houses is also less and less, the size of the cave is more and more large.
The end of the nest city underground, is two hidden stone door, channel on both sides of the left and right sides also have a doorway, the doorway were embedded with a blue and a white two gemstones, with a flashlight to a light, the left side of the hole, there are dozens of square meters square, the dome is very high, there is a stone deep inside the statue of a ghost head, the ghost head of the face of the ugly and hideous, the lower engraved a row of seven-star ladybug pattern, four corners of the then a weak lamp, the most central In the center of the floor, side by side, there are two steamed sacrifices, the black ox and the white horse, and the other side of the doorway is similar.
Shirley Yang turned over the “Bible Map”, and on one of the fragments there were two locations, “Ice Palace” and “Fire Palace”, which were exactly the same as here, however, the map should have labeled However, the place inside the big stone door at the end of the passage is the part that is damaged and lost, only at the edge of the Bible map’s defect, you can see a little bit of patterns similar to animal bones, and I remember that in the Reincarnation Sect’s “Black Tiger Xuan Altar”, the bottom layer of that crystal brick, there are also similar patterns, and these bones are similar to those in the “Wicked Lohai City”. Are these bones related to the disappearance of all the humans in the “Evil Lohai City”?
With all kinds of questions, I pushed open the end of the stone door, a go in immediately felt a chill straight through the lungs, thinking that the evil in the hall can be heavy, and Yin and cool, and the upper layers of the environment is very different, the eyes see, is a bejeweled temple, but although there are many lights in the temple, but are very dim, the temple is deep, do not see very clear inside the situation.
At this time Shirley Yang and Fatty also followed me into the stone door, I was trying to go forward, suddenly feel something missing, a turn around, found Uncle Ming and Ah Xiang stood outside did not follow in, I greeted them: “Go ah, still seeping waiting for what?”
Ah Xiang hid behind Uncle Ming, quietly whispered to Uncle Ming, Uncle Ming heard the face is full of panic, I feel more and more strange, then walked back to ask them what the hell?
Uncle Ming suddenly pulled out a pistol and pointed at me: “Don’t come over ah, don’t come over, and then come over I shot, you …… have something lying on your back.”
