Chapter 29 Chapter 29 Heading to the Oasis (Part 2)

In the moss, there is a stone statue of a human face and a bird body, which is the same as the carving style on the pottery pots we found in the ancient shipwreck. It is the real carving of the Queen Mother of the West.After thousands of years of corrosion, the surface of the stone carving is covered with dendrobium, which is blurred. After I removed all the dendrobium above, the whole sculpture emerged.It was a standing statue, which was directly chiseled out of the cliff. The head of the bird was a strange female face that looked like a human but not human, with two pairs of eyes, expressionless, and abnormally cold.There are five skulls carved under the two feet, and the bird stands on the sky caps of two of them. It seems that these skeletons are the leftover bones of it.

The fat man watched from below, and exclaimed: "Oh my God, Xiao Wu, isn't this fucking..." After I jumped down and saw the whole stone sculpture, I also took a deep breath. It turns out that the stone statue with human face and bird body in the cliff grotto is almost exactly the same as the strange bird seen in the underground crack of Changbai Mountain. The carvings are extremely vivid. Looking at the surface of the rock, it should have been painted with paint when it was chiseled. If it was not covered with moss, if you saw it in this dark jungle, you would think that strange bird flew here from Changbai Mountain.

Everyone showed a look of surprise, even Poker Bottle looked very surprised.All the people here have been to Changbai Mountain. Seeing these stone carvings, it is inevitable to recall the terrible situation at that time. Fatty and I hurriedly started to scrape off the carvings of several other grottoes one by one, and found that there were all the same stone carvings of human-faced birds, big and small, and in different shapes. Aning took a breath and said: "It seems that our inference was correct before. The human-faced raptor in Changbai Mountain is the totem of Queen Mother Xi - the original shape of the three blue birds. Queen Mother West may have some ancient technologies that we don't understand. This kind of strange bird of prey can be domesticated. The underground tomb in Changbai Mountain should be related to the disappearance of the Queen Mother of the West and the mysterious eastward migration of the remnants. Those strange birds may have originally inhabited this oasis, and later brought the remnants who split off. To the east, acted as the guardian of the mausoleum."

I said: "Yes, I have always felt that the terrain here is so similar to that of the Changbai Mountain Underground Mausoleum. The experience in Changbai Mountain can only be regarded as a drill, this is the real old den of the family." The fat man wiped his sweat and said, "His grandma's, according to you, this is the hometown of those ghost birds? Then we go in like this, don't we die?" It's really hard to say, I turned around and smiled bitterly, Aning said: "That's not the case, after so many years, the climate here has changed drastically, and the large grassland has condensed into this oasis, and there is too little food. Birds may be extinct here, and those seen in Changbai Mountain may be the only ones left. However, in any case, the blue bird is the patron saint of the West Queen Mother Kingdom. There is such a totem here, which shows that we have entered the boundary of the West Queen Mother Palace , This kind of grotto totem engraved here is not only a sign to outsiders, but also a warning, we have to be more careful in the future."

We all nodded, and the fat man said: "Damn it, I'll take your words, it would be better if these ghost birds are really extinct, or else I will be implicated, and Captain Mojin will be extinct." Fatty's worries are also our worries, we look at each other, we have nothing to say, and our expressions are very complicated. After another moment of delay, Aning took photos of these stone statues and looked around, but found nothing but stones.Boiler bottle let us go. We took a last look at the grottoes, pulled ourselves together, left the cliff, and continued walking to the depths of the canyon.Probably because of the influence of those grotto statues, at that moment, I felt a kind of uneasiness began to envelope the jungle, and we seemed to be entering a strange world that no one understood.
