Chapter 15 Chapter 14 And the Beauty is Civilized

Yuan Sen thought of those mummified corpses he found in the corridor. The terrified expressions on their faces showed that they really saw something bizarre and terrifying in the cube more than a thousand years ago.Could it be that thing that drove the Great Tang general to pose in this weird pose?What does he mean by posing this way? No one can answer. Because both the beauty civilization and the Wunu religion are too mysterious and almost unknown.No one understood what the gesture represented. The place where Yuan Sen is located is a rather large stone room, which should be more than 100 square meters.A huge white circle was drawn in the middle of the floor of the stone room, inside the circle was a cross, and the center of the circle was the vertical hole he just climbed out of, which looked extremely weird.

The diameter of the circle was about twenty meters, and the white line drawing the circle was as thick as an arm. The position where Yuan Sen stood was on the crossed line.Yuan Sen squatted down and touched the white line. The thing used to draw the line looked like a kind of paint. It felt very delicate and did not fade, but it was not paint or any kind of paint he knew. Obviously, this is a symbol. If you are in the outside world, seeing such a symbol is a very normal thing.But the problem is that this symbol appeared in an ancient civilization buried underground for more than a thousand years.Looking at the color of the paint, there is a faint crimson in the white, the color seems to have been integrated with the ground, obviously it has been a long time.In other words, this thing cannot be left by modern people, it may have existed more than a thousand years ago.

Yuan Sen went around the circle and scanned the surrounding area with a flashlight, but found nothing except the red stone wall and floor.He took another photo on the top of the stone room, only to find that there was a figure of the same size on the top of the stone room corresponding to the symbol on the floor, but the figure was not a circle, but a ferocious skull. Looking up from the bottom, people only feel that the huge skull is hanging on the top of the head, almost rushing towards the face, causing huge psychological pressure to people.Yuan Sen felt a little uneasy. When he looked around just now, he didn't find any other exits. The person from the third communication team disappeared just like that, and there was no trace of water on the ground. It is probably because he was climbing the vertical hole. Wipe it dry so there's no trace of it.

The appearance of a round symbol in this stone room is already quite strange, and the corresponding skull on the top of the head makes it even more incredible. What does this pair of symbols mean?Is it an ancient and beautiful totem? He quickly remembered the skull skin with three eyes painted on it in the underground space. Is there some kind of connection between the human skin and the pair of symbols? The skull was more than ten meters above the ground, and the stone wall in the room was very smooth, so there was no way to use it. This meant that it was impossible for him to climb to the top of the stone room to check the skull.

Yuan Sen knew in his heart that the current situation was that the pair of symbols had no clue at all, and all the doubts were on the person from the third communication team.The man could come and go freely in the stone room, so he must have seen this symbol before.He disappeared as soon as he entered the stone room, obviously the target is not here, and finding that person is the top priority. Yuan Sen checked all the granite walls.When he hit the wall with the dagger, he suddenly heard a light knocking sound from inside the wall.Yuan Sen held his breath, stopped knocking, and went to listen to the sound from the wall.The sound was very regular. It stopped three times, and then continued to knock after a few seconds.

Yuan Sen secretly wondered, could it be that the person from the third communication team was trapped inside, looking for an exit?Since he is so familiar with this place, he wouldn't make such a mistake, right? He thought for a while, and followed the opponent's knocking pattern, knocking on the wall with the handle of the dagger several times. After he knocked, the sound over there stopped.Yuan Sen screamed in his heart that something was wrong, why did the person inside leave? He knocked hard a few more times, no longer following the opponent's pattern.After knocking, the wall shook violently. Yuan Sen hurriedly backed away, but saw a stone door slowly opened in the corner of the wall.

The stone gate is not big, less than 1.5 meters high and less than one meter wide.Yuan Sen looked at the half-opened stone door, wondering and uncertain.He shone the flashlight around the stone gate, and after a few minutes passed, there was no movement, and no one came out of it as he expected. Yuan Sen didn't hesitate any longer. With a flashlight and a gun in his hand, Yuan Sen cautiously entered the stone gate. The space in the stone gate is still the same as the previous stone room, but it is longer, so long that it can't see the end.He shone forward with the flashlight, but he couldn't see the end of the darkness, and there was still nothing inside, and the person who knocked on the wall to open the stone door for him was gone.

Yuan Sen was puzzled. Since the other party was able to open the stone door, at least two problems were explained: first, he was not looking for an exit; second, he was helping himself, that is to say, the other party had no malicious intentions.Since that was the case, why did he turn around and run away when he saw him?In other words, the person who opened the stone gate and the person who escaped were not the same person. In this situation, it is useless to think too much. We can only continue to move forward to see if we can find new clues.He is inside the cube. Although the cube is very long, it always has an end. They are chasing inside. No matter how the other party hides, the chance of encountering it must be very high.

Yuan Sen tightened his backpack, kicked a hard object with his foot, and it rolled several meters away with a crisp sound.Yuan Sen hurriedly took a photo, saw the thing clearly, and immediately opened his mouth into an "O" shape. It was a helmet, an iron helmet worn by an ancient general, it was lying on the ground, the long protrusion on the top of the head pointed forward, the color on it was dark, but there was no rust. Yuan Sen took another look at his feet, and saw that the thing he was stepping on was a corpse wearing an ancient battle armor.The muscles on the corpse's face had been sunken, and there was no sign of decay, and the skin seemed to be covered with a layer of oil.The corpse has long hands and feet, and it can be speculated that he should be a tall and mighty general when he was alive.

Yuan Sen thought of the story of Gao Xianzhi, the envoy of the Four Towns of Anxi in the Tang Dynasty, who conquered Qieli, and guessed that this person was a general of the Tang Dynasty, who had been dead for more than a thousand years.For more than a thousand years, his corpse did not decompose, and turned into a mummy in this magical cube. Moreover, the mummy also verified that the cube really existed on the Great Lakes for more than a thousand years, or even longer.Let's not talk about what the ancient beauty built this thing for. Considering their productivity level at that time, how could they build such a big thing?What the hell is that metal that bullets can't hurt?

Yuan Sen knelt down and touched the armor on the mummy. There was a prickly feeling on the dark surface.The corpse's face was sunken due to dehydration of the muscles, and the eyes were dried to the size of soybeans, but the expression on his face could be seen clearly.The current appearance of the corpse must be his last expression before he died. As the corpse weathered into a mummy, the expression has remained until now. The muscles on the corpse's face were stiff, the eye muscles were tense, and the teeth were clenched together. All this indicated that the deceased should have looked terrified before he died. Could it be that he was frightened? The cube on the Great Lakes is already quite weird, and the situation inside the cube's belly can send chills down the spine at the slightest guess.The expression of the deceased before his death clearly told Yuan Sen that he encountered something in the cube. Yuan Sen checked the whole body of the mummy and found nothing else, so he dragged him to a corner. The ground was covered with granite slabs, so there was no way to bury him. he. Yuan Sen continued to walk forward. He tried to use the radio of the walkie-talkie to search for the units of the third communication unit, but he couldn't find any signal, so he had to give up. As the large stone room behind the stone gate moves forward, the stone walls on both sides gradually shrink. After walking for a while, it completely shrinks into a two-meter-wide corridor.Yuan Sen walked alone in the dark corridor, and could only hear his own footsteps.He also found that the corridors here are not straight, and they will turn after walking for a while. The corridors seem to intersect each other, so it is easy to deviate from the original direction when going around in this way. The shape of the cube is very scary, and its width is tens of meters. This width can easily cut out many corridors with a width of more than two meters.The corridors cross each other in an arc shape, and the direction can only be distinguished by the architectural design of the corridor itself. Yuan Sen walked very carefully, the compass needle was totally useless in this place, and the pointer wobbled wildly as soon as it was turned on, like a convulsion. He saw many mummies of Tang Jun in the corridor. Judging from their clothes, those mummies were ordinary soldiers, and there was nothing of value left behind.What is strange is that the expressions on the faces of these mummies are exactly the same as those of the general behind the stone gate. They all have wide-eyed eyes and tense muscles on their faces, as if they saw something unacceptable before they died. Yuan Sen could still accept seeing one or two mummified corpses, but after seeing so many, his heart was suspended. Could it be that there are really some weird things in the underground space?Did they take the lives of these Tang soldiers? When he walked in the corridor, he felt ghostly. The sound of his boots stepping on the granite slab echoed in the corridor, which made people feel hairy, as if he was not walking alone, but someone else, or maybe it was not not human. After Yuan Sen had this idea, he couldn't help but listen to his own footsteps. After listening carefully for a while, his heart sank.At first he didn't pay attention to the sound of his footsteps at all, he just regarded it as an ordinary echo. After some observation, he felt a thump in his heart, and suddenly realized that the echo did not belong to him alone, there were other people in the corridor. He listened to every step he took, and vaguely felt that the person in the corridor seemed to be stepping on his steps, and when he stopped, the person also stopped.As soon as he left, there was a sound of very light footsteps in the echo, and he seemed to be walking very carefully. Yuan Sen secretly wondered if the footsteps could be the member of the third communication unit, who would hide from him and flee all the way into the cube. If it was just to avoid himself, why did he open the stone door for him?And he deliberately hid the sound of his footsteps, what did it mean? Yuan Sen was secretly startled. As far as he knew, there were only three of them and members of the third communication team in the underground space. Like someone from the third communication unit did.If he wasn't from the third communication unit, who would it be? Yuan Sen listened carefully to the sound of footsteps, and he had already made a hundred or eighty turns in his heart. The more he analyzed, the more certain that the sound of footsteps must be made by a human being, and there was nothing wrong with it.But for a while, he couldn't be sure that this person was not a member of the third communication team. Along the way, he first found Wang Hui who had gone crazy, and then the third communication team disappeared collectively. It shows that the third communication detachment has encountered a bizarre thing. What exactly happened to them, Yuan Sen couldn't speculate, but these phenomena can at least explain one thing, what happened to the third communication team must be very strange.All of this goes against common sense and becomes unexplainable, let alone guessed. If you want to know the reason, you must find the person involved. At first, Yuan Sen thought that these intricate corridors would be like a game in which the compass cannot be used, making people completely lose their sense of direction and get lost in the chaotic corridors.After he walked for a while, the corridor came to an end, and in front of him was the entrance of another stone room. He took a rough look with his flashlight, and it was a small stone room. Yuan Sen was overjoyed, walked in, and saw a dead body sitting in the middle of the stone room at a glance. The corpse was sitting on a one-meter-high stone pier. It was a general from the Tang Dynasty. He was sitting cross-legged, looking straight ahead, with his hands in a strange posture, which looked very strange. Yuan Sen came closer and saw that the corpse was also a mummy. He didn't have the fear expression of other mummy on his face.His left hand was curled into a fist with the eye facing upwards, three fingers of his right hand were spread out, and the remaining two fingers were curled up. Yuan Sen circled around the mummy a few times, completely unable to understand what the gesture meant.This stone room is only a few tens of square meters in size, and it looks narrow and cramped. The center of gravity is on the central stone pier.Under the stone pier is a thick stone pillar, and under the stone pillar is a round stone slab with a radius of one meter, which should be used for cultivation. But what is strange is that the cube existed before Gao Xianzhi's army attacked and the beauty, so this stone room was not prepared for the soldiers of the Tang army. Why did this person die on the stone pier in a sitting posture?Looking at his frozen expression, he was very calm, without the fear of other mummy's faces, it was like a natural death of ordinary people. The Tang army's attack on Qili was a large-scale war of aggression, and the two sides killed each other to the death.After Tang Jun entered the cube, many people died tragically because of fear. Even if this general died, there is no reason to die so peacefully, right?Coupled with the strange posture of his hands, it makes people feel even more bizarre. Yuan Sen checked the corpse again, looked at the other arrangements of the stone room, and found nothing abnormal.At this time, there was a sound of hurried footsteps in the corridor. It sounded like someone was coming. Yuan Sen drew out his gun, pulled the bolt, turned off the flashlight, and hid behind the mummy.Hearing the footsteps in the corridor getting closer, he made up his mind that in order to avoid the situation on the cube, he must subdue someone in the dark to prevent the other party from escaping. The man ran very fast, and without using lighting equipment, he rushed into the stone room and stopped.Yuan Sen calculated the distance based on his footsteps, and when the opponent was less than one meter away from him, Yuan Sen jumped up and threw the person to the ground. The other party snorted and hit his head hard on the ground.Yuan Sen rode on the man and twisted his arm. The man's reaction was pretty quick. He retracted his arm and punched his leg upwards. Yuan Sen felt the opponent's body tremble, and knowing his back move, he lay on the opponent's body, avoiding a kick.The man's move didn't work, so he slammed his head into Yuan Sen's chest.Yuan Sen's black belt in Taekwondo is not a vegetarian either. He punched the man in the chest, which made the man grunt and slowed down by half a beat.Yuan Sen punched the man's elbow twice again. He punched several times in a row, causing the man to scream again and again. It took him a long time to hold back a sentence, "Who the hell are you?" Yuan Sen was taken aback, and called out, "Are you Akailamu?" Hearing Yuan Sen's voice, the person who was suppressed by him also asked in surprise, "Brother Yuan?" Yuan Sen helped Ai Kailamu up, turned on the flashlight, and shone it again and again.There were many scratches on Ekailam's face, and he was rubbing his stomach, with an expression of both anger and surprise. Yuan Sen asked strangely, "Why are you in the cube? Where's Kangbasa?" Ai Kailam shook his head and said, "Isn't he with you? Why are you asking me? And what about that crazy little girl?" Yuan Sen didn't know how to answer him, so he said, "Ai Kailam, you said on the intercom that you found a big lake 400 meters ahead. Not only that." Ai Kailam was surprised and said: "Dahu? Brother Yuan, did you hear me wrong, I have never said such a thing before!" Seeing Ai Kailam's blank expression, Yuan Sen didn't seem to be pretending, and said, "It can't be fake. I, Kang Basa, and Wang Hui can all hear clearly. How could there be a mistake?" Aikela said woodenly: "Impossible—impossible—although I am not a decent person, I still know the seriousness in this dangerous underground space. I have never made such a joke to mislead my teammates." Yuan Sen grabbed Akailamu's shoulder, stared into his eyes, and watched for a full minute. All he saw in Akailamu's eyes was panic and bewilderment. After a minute, he was sure that Akailamu Wood is telling the truth.Yes, he encountered another unexplainable thing. Ai Kailam said dumbfounded: "His grandma, could it be that my walkie-talkie was borrowed by that thing again? Wasn't it blown up along with the pigs?" Yuan Sen didn't know how to answer for a while. He felt that many things he saw and heard along the way were contrary to common sense, even against logic. There was no way to determine which ones were true and which ones were false.This environment is too bizarre. I really don't know how the Qieri people survived more than a thousand years ago, and it is even more difficult to guess how the border guards of the Tang Dynasty destroyed the Qieri civilization and killed them all. Yuan Sen said: "After you went to explore the way, has the walkie-talkie been on all the time?" Ai Kailam nodded, and said: "It's not just open. I searched your unit all the way, but I couldn't find any. This thing is also called a high-tech military equipment. It's really fucking bad." "What did you find after going in for so long?" Yuan Sen asked. At this time, Ai Kailam suddenly raised his index finger, made a silent gesture, and said in a low voice: "Listen—" Yuan Sen turned off the flashlight and listened carefully, but heard the slightest sound of footsteps coming from the corridor ahead. The sound was getting closer and closer, as if someone was walking towards the stone room. Yuan Sen whispered, "Who is it?" Ai Kailam suppressed his voice and said in a barely audible voice: "I don't know, but they are wearing the uniforms of the special forces of the 755th Division, which is very mysterious." Yuan Senqi asked, "What do you mean?" Ai Kaila said woodenly: "They were the ones chasing me just now, there were two of them." Yuan Sen's heart sank. The situation seemed to be different from what he thought. As far as he knew, only the third communication unit of the 755th Division entered the underground space.Reminiscent of the man in military uniform he was chasing on the cube, this person ran away without asking who he was, jumped into the water all the way, and went deep into the cube, making people completely unable to understand his behavior.However, Akailam's statement seems to confirm that those who wear the uniform of the 755th Division do have problems. Yuan Sen said: "Are you sure the other party is two people?" Ai Kailam nodded affirmatively, and said: "I have been entangled with those two guys in the corridor for a long time. If I hadn't been agile, I would have been beaten to death by them. It must be true, there are only two people." Yuan Sen nodded and said, "Well, there are two of them, and we are two too. We should arrest them first, and then we will find out what's going on after we interrogate them." Ai Kailam shook his head at Yuan Sen's idea, and said, "Brother Yuan, you have never seen how powerful they are. These special forces are really fucking inhumane. Don't mention their toughness. With our Skills are enough to beat them all." Yuan Sen has always been confident in his physical fitness, and said disdainfully: "Ai Kailamu, you are not scared by them, are you?" Ai Kailam's tone of voice suddenly changed: "Brother Yuan, I can't help but you don't believe it. You will understand after seeing it. I have seen Kangbasa's skills, and they are completely incomparable with them." Yuan Sen was taken aback, "What are you talking about? I also know something about the communication unit of the 755th Division. It is mainly composed of technical soldiers. Although the third communication unit is also equipped with security units, its combat strength must be inferior to real combat soldiers. Kang Ba Saqiang himself is the best among combat soldiers, how can those two people be much stronger than Kang Ba Saqiang?" At this moment, Ai Kailam hissed lightly. Yuan Sen knew that the people in the corridor were about to enter the stone room, and he held the gun tightly in his hand. Someone stopped at the door of the stone chamber.Both Yuan Sen and Ai Kailamu hid behind the stone pier, judging the best time to attack based on the sound of each other's footsteps.Yuan Sen felt that since the opponent was a member of the 755th Division, there was no need to shoot them when it was necessary. He just needed to pick the right time and throw them down to subdue them. The man stood at the door for a while, as if he sensed something was wrong inside, so he never came in.Both Yuan Sen and Ai Kailam held their breath.After a while, there was still no movement from the other party.Ai Kaila couldn't hold back any longer, and bumped Yuan Sen with his arm. Yuan Sen was also on fire, and when he relaxed, he would definitely gasp for breath.In such a small space, it is inevitable to be noticed by the other party.As soon as he gritted his teeth, he rolled on the spot, rolled to the place near the door, and poked his front foot, trying to hook the man's foot.At the same time, Ekailam also rushed over from the side to assist. Yuan Sen's movements were fast, but that man was not slow either.Before Yuan Sen's feet were in front of him, he ran away suddenly. Yuan Sen hurriedly jumped up and followed. Ai Kailamu followed behind Yuan Sen, and the three entered the corridor one after the other. Yuan Sen desperately followed. He held back his energy and had no chance to pick up the flashlight hanging on his belt. He could only follow the hasty footsteps.The corridors circled and intersected, and there were countless forks. The man was very familiar with the corridors, and he lost track after running for a while. He could only hear his footsteps getting softer and farther away. Yuan Sen turned on the flashlight, and there were several different forks in front of him. The sound of the man's running footsteps seemed to come from each fork, and it was impossible to judge his exact location. Ai Kaila said awkwardly: "Looks like one?" He looked into Yuan Sen's eyes after speaking, meaning he was asking for his opinion. Yuan Sen nodded and said, "It's indeed a person. When we chased out from the stone room, all we heard was the footsteps of a person." Ai Kailam frowned and said: "That's not right, I entered the stone room, and it took only a while, why did I lose another person?" Yuan Sen said: "Can you judge that this person is the one who chased you just now?" Ai Kailam nodded and said: "It should be true. They came in my direction. I tricked them. The two of them are not together, probably because there are too many branches in the corridor, so they searched separately. .” The two returned to the stone room by the same route, and Yuan Sen turned on the flashlight.When Ai Kailam first came in, he suddenly met Yuan Sen and saw the mummy of the Tang Army soldiers on the stone pier, but he didn't pay much attention to it. He also encountered many other places in the cube, and when he returned, he also noticed the mummy The weird gesture in his hand made him stunned for a moment. Seeing Akailam's strange expression, Yuan Sen said, "Did you see it?" Ai Kailam was horrified, and said: "Do you know what kind of posture he is posing in his hand? I and the expedition team of the 755th Division discovered in a well of the Wu Nu Cult on the Altai Mountains. The god worshiped by the Wu Nu Cult, It’s all in this pose.” Yuan Sen not only saw the mystery and horror of Wunu religion in "Secrets of Religion in the Western Regions", but also vividly felt it in the video recording the expedition team's deep dive into the Wunu religion's sacrificial well.After watching the video, he once felt that the scene of the team member walking into the cave strangely in the video was very similar to the scene described by Dr. Tian that Professor Yang Jian and a group of expedition members entered the smoky cave. I feel cold when I wake up. The mystery of Wunu religion lies not only in this, but also in the fingerprints of Professor Yang Jian left on the "Secrets of Religions in the Western Regions" in the reference room of Xinda University.It is because of this book that Professor Yang Jian and Wu Nujiao are equated.It's just that I can't confirm the time when Professor Yang Jian read this book.If Professor Yang Jian read "Secrets of Religion in the Western Regions" recently, it means that Professor Yang Jian appeared in Xinda University, and he really did not die under the Helan Mountains. However, what does it mean that the soldiers of the Tang Army more than a thousand years ago posed in this strange posture of the god of Wunu in the stone room built by the Qiliren? The Wunu religion was originally preached in the Turpan area. Could it be that this Tang army officer also believed in the Wunu religion? He was trapped in a cube and knew that he would die, so he assumed their sacrificial posture and waited for his soul to ascend? Thinking of this, Yuan Sen couldn't help shaking his head.This kind of statement is completely reasonable, but it has no factual basis. Everything is just his imagination, which is a matter that cannot be established at all. Yuan Sen pushed Ai Kailam who was in a daze, and said, "What do you think is going on?" Ai Kailam was a little dazed, and said: "I think, is there something manipulating him to take this pose? In ancient times, the discipline of the border guards was very strict, and they had very little contact with other tribes in the Western Regions. The possibility of slavery is very small. So, did they touch something, and when they were dying, they were driven by that thing to put on this evil posture." Yuan Sen was a little puzzled: "You said there are ghosts?" Ai Kailam said: "Brother Yuan, it's not your first day in Xinjiang. In the ancient Western Regions, many small countries believed in cults and worshiped evil gods. Up to now, strange things often occur near the ruins of those ancient countries, and there is no way to explain them at all. So, it's definitely a possibility." Yuan Sen thought of those mummified corpses he found in the corridor. The terrified expressions on their faces showed that they really saw something bizarre and terrifying in the cube more than a thousand years ago.Could it be that thing that drove the Great Tang general to pose in this weird pose?What does he mean by posing this way? No one can answer. Because both the beauty civilization and the Wunu religion are too mysterious and almost unknown.No one understood what the gesture represented.
