Chapter 230 Snake Cave

The underground canyon is like hell at the bottom of the abyss. It is full of rugged and huge bones of prehistoric creatures. Compared with those skeletons, the collapsed stone pillars nearby are a bit insignificant, and most of them are buried in the gray-white soil layer. So at the beginning, everyone did not notice the remains of human buildings here. It was not until A Xiang pointed out that there were huge black statues behind us that there were so many stone pillars around.

There are some cow nostrils chiseled on the stone pillars, and some still have stone rings that are thick into their arms. The most eye-catching one is the layers of eye totems on the stone pillar. We have seen these totems countless times, and they are common. I didn’t find any surprise when I saw them again here. Except for the strange ones at both ends of the altar, one end is the eyes with closed eyes and the other end is the eyes with blood drops. The rest are similar. The ones on this stone pillar are of a relatively ordinary pattern, and I didn’t see any difference.

But after Shirley Yang saw the totems on these stone pillars, he seemed to notice something abnormal and had to look at A Xiang's eyes carefully. In order to avoid A Xiang's nervousness, Shirley Yang used a negotiation tone, which was no different from speaking normally.

A Xiang nodded in agreement, her face was timid, probably she felt confused, and she looked at her eyes carefully. So Shirley Yang Bing breathed, stood at a very close distance, staring at A Xiang's eyes intently, as if she was looking for something from her eyes.

I understand that although Shirley Yang said it lightly, there must be something we didn't expect. A Xiang's behavior was indeed not right. He had soul-leaving symptoms and stabbed his eyes with a sharp stone. Maybe it was as Uncle Ming said, she was hit by evil spirits. Maybe she was no longer the A Xiang we knew now. It was more likely that her eyes had some connection with Evil Luohai City. Could she be a ghost mother demon concubine beside us?

I guessed randomly in my mind, and turned several thoughts, but it didn't seem to be like it. I saw Shirley Yang staring at A Xiang's eyes and looked at it, so I also came over with the fat man to see what was in A Xiang's eyes, but after looking at it for a long time, I couldn't see anything strange.

At this time, Shirley Yang seemed to have found the answer from A Xiang's eyes. She first told A Xiang not to worry, nothing would happen, and then let us look at the eyes on the stone pillar. Although it looks very similar to the other totems in "Evil Luohai City", there is a unique detail. The pattern in front of the eyes here has a circle of linear red convex marks outside the pupils. Shirley Yang said, look at A Xiang's eyes, there are similar things.

Only then did I realize that I didn't notice the subtle difference. If I looked at A Xiang's pupils carefully, I would find that there were indeed blood marks in it, like a thread. The blood marks were like blood in the whites of my eyes, but they were extremely subtle. If I didn't look carefully, we might not have noticed it. If A Xiang hadn't entered this cave, we might not have discovered this place, and her eyes were similar to the totem here. Did she deliberately lead us here? But in front of A Xiang, I did not say this.

Shirley Yang knew that what happened just now could easily make people confused, and he would inevitably doubt A Xiang. Shirley Yang didn't believe in the theory of reincarnation of eyes at all, so he explained that the bioelectricity emitted by the human body through the eyes was only about 7 V, which was very weak. However, everyone has different physiques and different abilities to induce bioelectricity. A Xiang's eyes can sense some things that ordinary people cannot capture. Although this is very special, there are many people in the world with special physiques like her. There must be something close to the bioelectricity in A Xiang's eyes near this black giant elephant, so she was subconsciously led here. The totem on the stone pillar is the best evidence.

After hearing this, Uncle Ming quickly said, "It's fine, let's go north quickly and leave this place early, so don't worry about the trash here..."

As Uncle Ming was halfway through his words, A Xiang suddenly said, "Useless godfather, there is no way to go. There are many poisonous snakes chasing us behind us. We will all die. I... I am afraid of snakes, I don't want to be bitten to death by snakes..." As he said that, tears came to tears.

A Xiang's words surprised everyone. How could they come? Thinking of the black snakes in the white tunnel of Thunder Mountain, it was creepy. If you encounter a group of snakes in this underground canyon, there is no place to hide. Running forward is not a solution. How can you run over the black snakes that wander like the wind, and the ancient walls on both sides are as sharp as a knife, even apes are afraid that they cannot climb up.

At this time, the sound of snakes wandering between the cave in the east and the cracks between the rock crystal veins was faintly heard. Uncle Ming's face looked like earth, and he grabbed my arm: "Brother Hu, I'm all counting on you this time. Fortunately, I heard you go north and there is water in the north. If I didn't listen to you just now, I've probably been buried in the snake's belly. Let's run north quickly." As he said that, he wanted to pull me forward.

I quickly pressed Uncle Ming's hand: "Don't panic, there is a flat horse in front, and you will definitely die after escaping. I see that I can only go to the black giant statue first, seal the entrance of the cave to block the snake, and then think of other ways to escape."

The sound of the snake group swimming was like a craze. Before they could see their shape, they were already shocked by the sound and could not afford to delay any further. I asked the fat man to carry A Xiang on his back, grabbed Uncle Ming and took a big strode, and ran to the hole door at the bottom of the black giant statue. The inside of the tall statue was hollowed out and the light was very dark. We used a flashlight to scan the surroundings. There were many layers on it. It seemed that it could directly lead to the head of the giant statue.

A large group of black snakes were approaching, and there was no time to take a closer look at the situation inside. The fat man threw Axiang on the ground and moved two large stone slabs with me and Uncle Ming, blocking the way he came, and the gaps were blocked with gravel. Then he heard that the group of snakes had rushed out of the door and blocked the door, and the nervousness was not relaxed at all, and his legs were a little weak. Fat man and I used to catch snakes in the wild, but not only were this kind of black snake, but it was not only numerous, but also roamed like electricity. It was so toxic that it could be said that it would die if it was touched, and it would die if it was touched.

We are not only worried that there are other gaps in the colossus. After everyone discussed it, it is better to go to the top. Relatively speaking, it is safer. In order to save the light source, we only turn on a headlight and a flashlight. When we walk up, we find that it is not safe at all. There are many stone chambers that are not adjacent to each other. The overall shape is similar to the beehive-like "Evil Luohai City", but the structure is not that complicated. The stone cave-like cave chamber is pitiful. I think this may not be a place for people to live in. It is too narrow and depressing. If people live in it, they may die of suffocation. It will not take long to live. The place is covered with dust and the air circulation is very poor. If the five of us delayed in a small area for a while, they will feel hypoxia and chest tightness.

When I climbed to the fourth floor, I felt a cool breeze coming in. In the dark aisle, I followed the cool airflow and saw a hole one meter square. This is a ventilation opening in the middle and lower part of the cow statue. Since the overall image of the god is black, I can't see this underground. If it weren't for those stone pillars that were swaying, it would be difficult to find the entrance at the bottom.

I lay in front of the hole, leaned out and looked down from a high place. The firefly below was in a trance, and I could only see a group of twisted and wriggling black snakes, all gathered between the areas under the statue. The big ones had their arms as thick as willow leaves, and had black naked eyes on their heads. Some of them were lazy and some were fighting and biting each other. The number of them gathered more and more. Seeing too many wriggling things made people feel disgusting.

After seeing it, Shirley Yang said to us: "These snakes are very strange. They don't seem to crawl in and attack us, but they seem to be waiting for something to happen?"

The fat man put Ah Xiang down, took a breath, and then said, "I think we're waiting for us to go down and have dinner for them." He raised his arms and looked at the time on his watch and said, "Isn't this the time for dinner just now?" Ah Xiang was frightened by the fat man's words, and sat on the ground with his knees in his hands and shivered. Uncle Ming was a little confused when he saw this and asked me what to do now. There was no food, and there was not much water in the kettle. It was impossible for him to hide in this giant statue. Moreover, the stone house inside the giant statue made people goose bump. Even Ah Xiang said that this place gave her a headache. We were in a desperate situation this time and could not fly out even if we had wings.

I was also very uneasy. I must not be able to get out of the outside. The buildings in the belly of this black statue are not like for people to live in. God knows what will happen here, but now we must stabilize everyone's emotions. So I found some excuses to stabilize the morale of the army and told everyone that not only the north belongs to water, but the black in the five elements also represents water. This huge statue is all black stone, and naturally belongs to water, so I think we will definitely not be in danger of life when we hide here.

I suddenly thought of some solutions and told everyone that at the bottom of the canyon, we all saw a layer of volcanic cocoon on the fossils of stone pillars and bones, and there were many uplifting buns on the ground. They should be volcanic bombs that erupted before, and the temperature was much higher than other places. These signs indicate that there is a volcanic belt here. Although we found an extinct volcano in the lake, it does not mean that the entire volcanic belt is dead. The snake group likes to be cold. They all come from caves in the east and dare not be too close to the north. The northward, the stronger the sulfur will be. As long as we find a way to get rid of the snake group and escape for a mile or two, we can safely get out of the trap. I think we can use the materials here to make some torches to retreat.

Uncle Ming heard that there was a big flaw in my words and said, "No, the snakes here are all black, and it seems that they should be water. Although I don't know how to easily count, I know that water can overcome fire. So although the snakes like to be cold, they dare to come here. In addition, when we encounter water, how dare we ignite the turret? Isn't this a taboo of conflict and restraint?"

I thought to myself that this old Hong Kong farmer was really hateful. How dare I talk to me about the principle of the five elements of birth and restraint. The principle of the five elements is like the principle of wheels. It can be round no matter what. Master Hu, I can stir up the three-part principle without reason. Can you make you lie down? So I said to Uncle Ming: "Heaven produces water, the earth produces fire, the earth produces wood, the earth produces metal, the five heaven produces earth, the five heaven produces earth, the five five shapes are all combined with five, so in the river chart, the odd number of yang is peony, the even number of yin is concubine, and in the large number, the yin and yang are transferred, so it is said that the concubine is formed by five. Modern people only know that water overcomes fire.

, but you don’t know that water is the peony of fire, and fire is the concubine of water. Nowadays, people only know that water is prosperous in the north and fire starts in the south, but you don’t know that the prosperity and decline of the five elements is related to the Sui Star. Uncle Ming, you only know that water overcomes fire, but you don’t know that if fire is strong, water will still detract from water. This means that you don’t understand the ancient method. The statue of ours is dozens of meters high. Compared with the black of those snake groups, we are prosperous water, and those snakes are declining water, so our prosperous water can use fire to declining water, but this fire cannot boost our water, otherwise we are in danger."

Uncle Ming's eyes were so straight that he heard it. After a long time, he said, "It's so... so clever, so I often tell A Xiang that he would marry the Jinshi Captain in the future... or he would be useless."

Shirley Yang suddenly waved his hand and signaled everyone not to speak anymore. There was movement outside. We immediately became alert and approached the cave and peeked at the movement below. However, Shirley Yang did not ask us to see the group of snakes below. It pointed to the cliff at a high place. There were a long list of small white lights on it, swaying on the high place, and there were quite a few.

But the distance is too far, and the crystal veins on the mountain wall are gradually becoming thinner and the fluorescent light is dark. What is that? I rubbed my eyes hard, but I still couldn't see clearly. It was not like a lamp. It seemed like countless villains in white clothes stood. Suddenly, the white shadows in front of me shook. There was a slightly gentle stone slope on the cliff. Several large groups of white things rolled down from above and fell to the bottom of the canyon.

The snakes on the ground swam towards the falling white objects. We were only ten meters above the ground. We looked at the things below clearly. We saw that the large and large groups of things were all sticky balls, the size of grape beads. The black snakes rushed over and stopped around them. They suddenly appeared on the white objects, as if red flowers bloomed out of thin air, but they disappeared in an instant, red and dark. The more people looked, they became more and more strange, and then they watched intently. Only then could they see that in a fossil skeleton embedded in the rock, the plate had a body shape.

The black snake, several times larger than the same type, slipped out from a crack of rock, and spitted out the blood-red snake letter. The snake's scales were pitch black and bright, and it was full of scattered black and scattered. As soon as the saliva dripped from its mouth fell to the ground, a small piece of bright red toxic bacteria immediately grew from the stone, and withered again in a blink of an eye, as it was born and destroyed. The venomousness of this snake was beyond people's imagination. The big snake went down from the bone, and the snake walked to the middle of the white objects, swallowing them one by one. The other black snakes were all quiet and beautiful, and they did not dare to move at all. It seemed that they had to wait until their boss had eaten the rest.

The fat man said wonderingly, "What is that? Egg?" Although I couldn't see clearly, the large white object should be the eggs, which looked like a big termite, and there were many insects and dead bodies of animals. I looked at the row of white little people on the high ground, and then guessed it almost. I said to everyone, "The above are the Guanyins. No wonder these black snakes endured the hot environment here. It was really what the fat man said, they came to eat, and they would dissipate when they were full. Let's wait patiently for the opportunity. Small beasts like Guanyin are cruel and cunning by nature, and they are also very greedy. They like to store food, and even if they don't eat, they will hide things deeper. I didn't expect that they would be cheaper to group of snakes."

After hearing what I said, everyone let down their hanging hearts. After all, the snakes were not for us, and they should not have found us hiding here. It won’t take long to escape. But A Xiang suddenly said, “No, they have seen me… I can feel it.” After that, he lowered his head, remained silent, and seemed very helpless.

I heard A Xiang say it very seriously. She dared not joke about this kind of thing. Thinking of the bright red poisonous saliva flowing out of the poisonous snake, I couldn't help but sweat began to appear on my forehead. I took a peek out of the cave again and saw that the giant snake on the Dragon King Whale fossil was raising its head to the entrance of the cave where we were.

I quickly retracted. Yes, I could also feel that the snakes below must know our existence, but I didn't know whether they planned to eat the ant eggs and attack again, or because this statue was a forbidden area, I asked the fat man to stay at the entrance of the cave to monitor the movement of the snake group. Shirley Yang and Uncle Ming and I were going to make some torches quickly. I crawled into a stone house next to the entrance of the cave, holding up a flashlight to light it, and wanted to find if there were any oil storage equipment. Although it had been a long time, the yak oil or loosening in ancient Tibet could be retained for a long time, and maybe it could also cause fire. When we came up just now, we had already seen that there seemed to be no lamps here. There was no light here, and it was really unusual to have no lights.

With a bit of luck, I took the flashlight and shone it. The walls in the stone house were empty, but in the corner, there was an ancient jade mask without eye holes. Shirley Yang also found the same thing in another stone house. I asked Shirley Yang if this was the mask of the ghost mother in the Demon Kingdom. Those people could not see people with their faces. Could it be that the buildings in this colossus were for the ghost mother to live in?

Shirley Yang said: "No, the status of the ghost mother in the Demon Kingdom is very high. She must have lived in the temple of Evil Luohai City. It has been completely destroyed. You see, the environment here is very poor, and it may not be an exaggeration to say that it is a prison. Moreover, the eyeball marking is very special, similar to A Xiang's eyes. Such eyes should not be ghost eyes. A generation of ghost mothers can produce a person who can truly see the ghost cave. I wonder if this will be used to... detain those candidates whose eyes do not meet the requirements? There are bull nostrils and stone rings on the stone pillar below, which are obviously used for the law of cruelty. Those who have been eliminated may be locked in the canyon and feed snakes."
