Chapter 16
A section of flesh pink was exposed at the fracture of this half of the stone statue. Poker bottle peeled off a few calcified shells like peeling bamboo shoots, and inside the stone statue was a strangely long human head.I was speechless when I saw that thing. I have seen this kind of ancient corpse with a horse face and a long head many times, but no matter if it is an ancient corpse from a Yin soldier or a jade warrior, they are all rotten and withered to the point where only skeletons are left. The human head, because of the calcium erosion and precipitation, was almost completely preserved like a wax figure.
The face of that strangely long head basically looks like a human being, except that the facial features are skewed, the expression is painfully distorted, elongated abnormally from the forehead, and the entire epidermis is slightly wrinkled, just like fingers soaked in water for a long time. It looked disgusting as hell.The fat man took a sip, and said: "It's this thing! The ancestor of the tortoise is not low. There are thousands of evil soldiers in this cave, and they are all buried with the guards. His mother, could it be that King Lu Shang rode a tortoise to fight? Also built a grave for the mount?"
"It's impossible." I wanted to swallow my saliva forcefully, but after a long time my throat was blocked, I finally let out, "This place is much earlier than King Lu Shang, probably even earlier than Emperor Mu. If you really want to count, it is possible It is in the same era as the Kingdom of the Queen Mother of the West in the Snake Marsh. It seems that this cave is intrinsically connected with the bronze gate at the bottom of the Yunding Tiangong and the remains of the Queen Mother of the West. It’s just...brother, will the Yin soldiers in this cave have corpses? "I raised my head and asked Poker Bottle, this is the key point, thinking that if the cave full of Yin soldiers were all dead together, then I would rather be thrown to death by the giant turtle just now.
"No." Poker-Face took a deep breath, and bent the wax gourd-like head in half, the cranial cavity was densely filled with insect eggs, "Only the head is placed on these stone pillars, and the torso is all in place. Down in the pool." I turned my head, and I could only comfort myself, these insect eggs are better than the forbidden woman's hair no matter what.Poker-Face threw his hands, and the two human heads full of insect eggs were accurately thrown to the edge of the pool.The giant tortoise in the pool leaned over as if smelling something fishy, opened its mouth a few times and swallowed it.
The fat man wondered: "What kind of sacrifice is this? It's so far away, and the eater is still locked. Isn't that clear? It's not kind." I think this is more like captive breeding. The place where the tortoise is located, and the giant tortoise seems to have been coerced, so I can't figure out what to raise it for. If the purpose of offering sacrifices to Zhu Jiuyin is to capture and refine oil, and the Queen Mother of the West raises snakes to protect the city, then how could this giant tortoise be raised? Monument?Depend on!Which emperor is so big!
Poker-Face waved his hand to signal not to look any further, walked to the next stone pillar, and said, "I'll lure it away, you go to the turtle shell to see if there is a way out."
---------Separation line by working wheel-------
I hurriedly wanted to follow up: "Brother! Let me come, you and the fat man go to find the way." Poker bottle is now covered in blood, and his face is like a piece of white paper. I watched my heart pounding, lest he suddenly Just fell headlong, and there is a fat man acting with him, at least I can feel at ease in my heart.
"Let me tell you, Xiao Wu, save yourself, how can you have the skills of a little brother? Are you going to pick these stone statues with your fingers?" The fat man grabbed me and followed him, "I'm not good at connecting the sewer, Mr. Wu, you Isn’t it a major in architecture? This is your specialty.” I thought this would work, but before I could open my mouth, the fat man leaned over to me and whispered, “You just feel free to explore the road. Brother, I will definitely help you. Guaranteed not to let him leave the ranks of the masses, and I will bring you down with a single hair." Fatty, you are strong, you can understand everything I think.
At this moment, Poker-Face suddenly said: "We will meet up later." He threw me a flashlight, "Wu Xie, be careful." I answered the flashlight and promised, just took a reassurance, and hurried down , The acid flooded over too quickly, leaving us with little time.
Fatty and Pokerfinger are making good progress. They used those human heads with insect eggs to divert the giant tortoise's attention. When I ran to the pool, most of the giant tortoise had crawled out of the pool.Looking at it from the same level, that thing is terrifyingly big!An ordinary crocodile is quite huge when it grows to 8 meters. This giant tortoise can be at least twice as long, and it weighs several tons at least.
I walked around behind the giant tortoise and jumped into the pool. There was a pool of corpses under my feet. Sure enough, none of them had heads.Most of these corpses are calcified, lumps and lumps together, and there are traces of clothes on the body surface, but I don't know much about the fabrics before the Han Dynasty, so I can't see why.From time to time along the way, some feet bounced the long mermaid fish out of the stagnant water to shake its dorsal fin. It's so good to get the light of your precious blood, isn't it?
The closer to the center, the softer the feeling under the feet. The last few meters are like stepping on the body of a living person. The giant tortoise may contain substances that can slow down calcium erosion. No wonder it has not turned into a stone statue, and its joints and limbs can move.I pawed at the pile of corpses with my feet, but there was no hole under the corpses. Where did the water come from?The big tortoise shell was already in front of my eyes, and a flat hole more than half a person's height was exposed where the tail used to be. At this time, my feet were as soft as mud. I don't know how many arms and legs I trampled. It felt like an indescribable feeling.
I went around half a circle and still didn't find the drain. Could it be right under the tortoise shell?Thinking of this, I was a little panicked. The giant tortoise didn't move its shell even a little bit with such strength. If the exit was really below, it would be impossible to move it away with the strength of the three of us!At this time, the giant tortoise had already chased up the stepped slope, breaking countless stone pillars along the way, and the red alum acid water above had spread more than half, and the space for Fatty and Poker Bottle to move was getting smaller and smaller. Flank attack, I dare not even think about the consequences.
I was so anxious that I couldn't do anything, so I rushed forward to lift the tortoise shell, but it didn't move at all. Just when I was about to despair, I suddenly saw a faint glimmer of light appearing in the black hole of the tortoise shell.
Without time to think about it, I dived in.
