Chapter 33 Chapter Ten: Mountains of Bones

Sima looked at the two of them, and said in a deep voice, "It's a blessing, not a disaster. A disaster can't be avoided. We're going to go through here after all. Let's go down and have a look first." Now, take the lead around the rock and walk to the pit.Lian Xing and Xiao Longnv followed from behind. The three of them stood in front of the rocks in the deep pit, looked at the deep pit, took a deep breath, jumped up, and jumped down the deep pit lightly. The movements of the three are different.Sima spread his arms out, gliding down like a goshawk.Lian Xing walked down like a stroll in the courtyard.The one with the most beautiful figure is Xiao Longnu, who turned around and flew up lightly, like Fairy Lingbo, extremely graceful.

Sima couldn't help being amazed at being able to perform such a wonderful lightness kung fu in this square inch. The three of them went down to the bottom of the deep pit, and as far as they could see, there were bones everywhere, piled up like a mountain.The clothes on these white bones have long been weathered and annihilated like dust, leaving only the white bones stacked on top of each other.In this deep pit where the phosphorescent fire flickered and was clearly extinguished, there was an indescribably desolate and desolate place. Lian Xing sighed and said: "Brother Sima, it seems that these bones are the remains of the ancestors of the Ba Kingdom, but why are they stacked here? Could it be the craftsmen of the Ba Kingdom's imperial mausoleum? In order to kill people, these craftsmen were killed one by one. Executed, and then buried here naked?"

Sima's eyes flicked over the bones one by one, his eyes slightly heavy, and after a while he said: "Brother Lian is right. These people must be the craftsmen who built the emperor's tomb in Ba Kingdom. After the emperor's tomb is built, just in case Leaked the wind and revealed the location of the imperial mausoleum, so all these craftsmen were killed." After a pause, Sima frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "In my opinion, even this deep pit was dug by these craftsmen themselves. , but in the end it became their burial place.” Although Lian Xing and Xiao Longnv had already guessed that this must be the case, after hearing about it, they suddenly felt compassion.

They stepped on the thick white bones, and every step they stepped on made a "click, click" sound.The three of them trembled in their hearts, thinking that they were stepping on the bones of those unknown craftsmen thousands of years ago, they all stepped down carefully, for fear of accidentally disturbing the souls of those who died unjustly. The three of them walked slowly to the dead python.I saw that the giant python's body was densely covered with holes, and the two eyes on the huge snake's head had already been bloody and bloody, leaving only two black holes.Seeing this scene, Lian Xing and Sima were horrified, and couldn't figure out why the green-glowing monster would gouge out the giant python's two eyeballs.

The three of them walked slowly past the giant python.There is nothing at the bottom of this deep pit except densely packed white bones.Lian Xing couldn't help frowning slightly. Seeing Lian Xing's serious expression, Sima couldn't help but ask, "What's the matter, Brother Lian?" Lian Xing said slowly: "Why is there no cave infested by giant pythons in this deep pit? Where did the giant pythons come from?" Lian Xing paused, then raised his head, looked at the passage above, and said, "Is it possible Is it coming from above the passage?" Sima looked towards the passage, and saw that under the phosphorescent light, the passage above the deep pit was vaguely like a black eye, which looked very creepy.He pondered for a moment, and then said: "Ba Kingdom regards snakes as gods, so it is reasonable that there are giant pythons in this imperial mausoleum. Maybe this giant python is the guardian of Ba Kingdom."

Xiao Longnv and Lian Xing were secretly amazed, it was the first time they heard of using a giant python as a bodyguard. The three of them stepped on the bones at the bottom of the pit and slowly came to the opposite passage.Lian Xing reached out and took out a Flying Tiger Claw from the luggage on his back. With a wave of his hand, the Flying Tiger Claw flew up with a "whoosh" sound, and firmly hooked into the cracks in the ground of the passageway above. Lian Xing stretched out his hand and tugged, but Feihu's claws did not move at all, then he turned his head and nodded to Sima and Xiaolongnv.The three of them grabbed the flying tiger claws and jumped up the passage.

Xiao Longnv flicked the fire in her hand, and with the help of the faint light, she saw that this passage was still extending straight to the south.There was a stench in the passage.Lian Xing frowned secretly.This stench is so strong that people can't help but want to vomit. The three hurriedly held their breath and groped forward.The further you go, the higher the terrain of the channel.After walking tens of feet in zigzags, the passage suddenly went downwards.From high to low, the turning point was so abrupt that the three of them were startled and couldn't help but stop and look at each other.

Sima Dao: "It seems that this passage is partly artificial and partly natural. Otherwise, if it was all artificially built, there must be no such ups and downs." Lian Xing and Xiao Longnv nodded and continued on their way.The terrain is from high to low, and gradually opens up. After walking another two miles or so, their eyes suddenly lit up, and they were already in a very high and huge cave.At the bottom of the cave is a larger deep pool. The water in the pool keeps rolling back and forth. It seems that there is a geothermal hot spring at the bottom of the pool, which is continuously surging upwards.

Across this deep pool, there is a shallow rocky land on the opposite side.On the rocky ground stood an ancient tree as high as the sky, which covered the ground with thick shade, and its branches stretched out to the edge of the deep pool. What surprised them even more was that the monster covered in green light was lying curled up under the big tree, as if sleeping soundly, and the ghostly fireflies surrounding it had disappeared.Unexpectedly, this monster is hiding here.Just how did it wade through the deep pool?It's incredible. Lian Xing and the monster were separated by a distance of tens of feet, and the monster didn't seem to notice the arrival of the three, and still fell asleep with its head in its arms.

Lian Xing wandered around and saw a faint ray of skylight pouring down from above the cave.Lian Xing looked intently, and found that there was a crack above the cave, which let in the sunlight from outside.The sun shone on the water surface of the deep pool, sparkling and flowing around, which made the deep pool in the middle of the mountain look so beautiful. Seeing that the skylight in the cave was enough for the three of them to see everything clearly, Xiao Longnv extinguished the fire with a wave of her hand.All three of them were suspicious, and slowly observed the mysterious cave. Lian Xingxin said: This cave is very strange, why does the passage leading here come to an end?Presumably this is the key to connecting the imperial mausoleum of the Ba Kingdom.It's just that there is no clue as to where the imperial mausoleum of the Naba Kingdom is.

Lian Xing's eyes turned around in the cave, but he still found nothing. When he was disappointed, his eyes glanced up by chance, his whole body trembled, and he said in a low voice: "Brother Sima, Long Er, look!" Sima and Xiaolongnv seemed extremely excited when they heard Lian Xing's strange voice, they both raised their heads and looked in the direction of Lian Xing's finger.After this look, Sima and Xiaolongnv also trembled all over, and immediately froze, as if they stopped breathing at that moment. On the jagged stone wall behind the ancient tree, from the bottom to the top, there is a huge relief sculpture of a human face.The human face relief is about ten feet high and five or six feet wide, complete with eyebrows, eyes, mouth and nose.I saw that the human face relief had raised eyebrows, narrow and long eyes, high nose and wide mouth, looking very majestic.It's just that there is an extra eye between the brows of the human face relief, which is somewhat similar to the legendary Zhenjun Erlang.What's even more weird is that a snake's head protruded from the forehead of this human face relief.The snake's head was ferocious and terrifying, and the snake's letter came out, making it even more strange and inexplicable in the relief of the human face.The snake body seemed to be about to emerge from the brain of the human face relief.This situation makes people look shuddering. Looking from where the three of them stood, the relief sculpture of a human face seemed to be suspended on the top of that vigorous ancient tree.The deep pool in the middle of the mountain, the green light monster, the thousand-year-old tree, the human face relief, and the tumbling water in the deep pool made the three of them who had always been bold and fearful, not knowing what kind of danger would be in the secluded pool.
