There is another world in the secret passage.

The walls on both sides depict many figures with natural shapes and smooth movements. This craftsman is highly skilled and has meticulous knife skills. Looking at it all the way, the pictures he painted are as smooth as flowing clouds. I almost thought that the figures on the mural were waving hoes.

Get active!

The mouse stretched out his hand and touched left and right on the wall, and came to a conclusion: "There are no obvious unevenness on the surface. The little man on it is on the same surface as Yu Bai. This is not the technique of shadow line carving!"

"Hey! I haven't seen you for a few years, have you become an expert?" Brother Monkey patted him on the shoulder, "It seems that your skills have improved over the years, you must have picked up a lot of antiques!"

"Okay, brother, I can't help but praise you. You know, this kind of thing is quite common in the tomb."

"But why do I look at it? This looks like a technique from the Han Dynasty?"

"You are right. Isn't this the Han Dynasty stone sculpture?"

As soon as this statement came out, it was shocking. We were all shocked by the conversation between these two brothers.

Donghuang leaned over and touched the mural, and asked in disbelief: "You two can see clearly. This joke is not serious. Is it really a product of the Han Dynasty?"

Mouse was silent for a while and replied with absolute certainty: "I have touched so many Han tombs before, and there are so many of these things in them, I can't be wrong!"

Dong Huang's face darkened, and he asked Brother Monkey: "Then you are looking in the wrong place? The Overlord's Treasure was at the end of the Qin Dynasty and the beginning of the Han Dynasty. Now it seems that the times are not right!"

"Don't worry, don't worry!" Brother Monkey waved his hand and said, "Han portrait stones all tell stories. Let's take a look at what they say first!"

We all retreated to the entrance and watched this weird Han Dynasty work in small sections.

It turns out that this is a complete story and a terrifying ghost story!

The emperor wearing a high crown ordered the soldiers to dig on a mountain. They cut a hole in a gate with a nine-headed bird and marched into the passage one by one. However, inexplicably, the soldiers in front fell to the ground one after another.

die.

They stopped and walked out of the mountain, only to find that not only were all the trees in the mountain dead, but the people and animals in the mountain were also dead everywhere! When these soldiers returned home, some were wailing in pain, and some were lying down.

The whole body was curled up on the bed, and some had sex with their wives, but gave birth to several monsters.

The mouse in front suddenly stopped and said: "The front is gone, the story here is over."

I turned the flashlight forward, and there were carvings with rough lines on the wall in front of me, which were completely different from the style of Han Dynasty stone sculptures.

My whole body is shaking, and the more I think about it, the more scared I am. If the mountain in the painting is Jiuli Mountain, and if the soldiers are digging for the Overlord’s treasure, then the scene described in the painting is most likely where we are! In this case, what happens next

How to explain the tragic end of those soldiers? Could it be that we will die... like that?

I ran back to the entrance of the secret passage to figure out the meaning of the Han portrait stone on the other side.

These two stories are connected together: the emperor killed all the soldiers involved in the project, and the wizards set up an altar in front of the mountain, looking up to the sky to pray for something. The emperor personally lit a flame to kill the little monsters born by the soldiers.

They were thrown into the blazing fire. Unexpectedly, it suddenly rained heavily and extinguished the flames. Some of the little monsters had two heads and eight legs, some had three eyes and one ear, and some did not even have the lower half of their bodies. They all

He emerged from the wet firewood, surrounded the emperor and started biting him!

Two or three wizards raised their heavy swords and chopped off their necks - blood and flesh flew everywhere, and the emperor was saved. But his whole body was covered with the heads of little monsters, and they did not let go and bit the emperor even after they died.

fangs!

The emperor fell seriously ill and aged rapidly. The nine-headed bird door was smashed to pieces, and the entrance to the treasure was completely sealed by several huge rocks.

All the stories came to an abrupt end here, and the wall in front turned into disproportionate carvings.

I breathed a long sigh of relief, and my forehead was covered in cold sweat!

Everyone was still immersed in the story and had not come back to their senses. We all sat together in tacit understanding, each lost in thought.

"There are always many myths and legends mixed in with these murals, right?" Dong Huang also looked ugly, and he pushed the mouse gently.

Mouse shook his head and said: "I have seen many techniques of Han portrait stone, but these negative lines are basically documentary stories. The ones I have seen are all used to record the life of the tomb owner, even if there are exaggerations.

Most of them actually do this!"

"It can't be that it's cursed!" I heard my voice tremble slightly, "Just like those pharaoh's tombs in ancient Egypt, when you dig them up, you will be cursed by another world, and everyone will have a bad end!"

Brother Monkey was extremely depressed and gave away half a pack of cigarettes to the men present. He took a deep breath and said: "It's almost the same idea. Look at the death of those soldiers and what happened to those little monsters? The wizards finally came out.

Yes, it’s obvious that he has been punished by God!”

"Then what should we do? We've already come in..." I regretted that my intestines were green in the smoke, "I'm not an adult yet, so I don't want to give birth to a litter of little monsters!"

"Go, go, go! What are you afraid of? We have bats and chinchillas here. How is it the same as in the painting?" The mouse blew a puff of cigarette smoke on my face, "This mural is not about this place at all, okay, you just

Just think of it as a ghost story and it’s enough to scare you! Besides, I’m still clearing the way, so if I die, I’ll die first!”

"Why are they different? Look at what patterns these are." Dr. Lin, who had been silent all the way, spoke for the first time. He turned on his flashlight and illuminated the carvings with different styles in front of him.

We all turned our attention to the front.

It's like the secret passage is divided into two sections. The carved patterns on both sides of the front are all protruding outwards. The lines are tough and clear, and there is a sense of oppression. It is completely different from the techniques of Han Dynasty stone carvings, and the craftsmanship is obvious.

It was much rougher and different from the previous journeys we had experienced.

I am used to seeing the fine and round workmanship before, but now it is like a different era and background, which is difficult to adapt to.

"Xiao Liuyi, I made a mistake just now. I thought we had touched a Han tomb. Now it seems that this is the treasure of the Overlord!" Mouse picked up the searchlight and walked away for a distance. He adjusted it to strong light.

, turned around and helped us illuminate the entire space of the secret passage.

There was enough light, and I was able to see the whole place clearly: It turned out that the carvings we saw were only a small part of the entire pattern. The walls on the left and right sides, and the roof above my head, together formed a huge and magnificent

A phoenix! And the intricate carvings that separate the Han portrait stones are its gorgeous wings!

The weirdo stood up as if he was intoxicated and murmured to himself: "Chu people worship Feng, this is the style of the overlord of Western Chu!"

This majestic phoenix stretched its gorgeous body and extended along the direction of the secret passage. We didn't go far enough and couldn't catch a glimpse of its crest.

"It's Jiu Feng!" Brother Monkey also jumped up with excitement. He pointed to the nine-headed bird gate on the mural and said in an excited tone, "This is part of the gate, one of the Nine Phoenixes!"

I looked at the door pattern with a gaping hole in the mural, and sure enough! There was indeed a phoenix head in that painting that was facing the same direction as the phoenix in front of me!

I realized that this was the ruins of the damaged gate in the last picture! The other eight crests were all facing different directions. They might have been smashed to pieces, or they might have been covered by the ground and the Han Dynasty stone statues.

I wondered: "But wasn't this place blocked by a huge boulder on the mural? Where did the boulder go? Where did the mechanisms we experienced come from?"

After taking the last puff, Donghuang threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stomped on it: "What the hell! Now that Jindu has come in, just keep going! How can we be intimidated by a few murals in our line of work! Yandu

Pinch it off and open the way!"

Except for me, who was still immersed in the shadow of the curse, and my glasses were still sleeping, everyone else returned to normal. We rearranged our formation, with the mouse at the head, walking under the phoenix, and gradually along its wings.

Travel to the neck.

Directly in front, there is a stone door blocking the middle, and the phoenix head is leaning on the top frame, looking at us with a look that intimidates all things.

This door is plain and unpretentious. It has many pits and has not been carefully polished. Only a disc the size of a saucer protrudes in the middle.

I felt guilty as a thief, and I dared not look directly into the eyes of the phoenix. Even when I stood in front of it and lowered my head, I felt sad all over and wanted to escape quickly.

Donghuang pushed the mouse and asked, "Is this also a lock? Can you open it?"

"It's a joke, let's see what I do! There's no door in the world that I, Master Mo, can't open!" Mouse looked like he had to do it for me. He took out his tool box and sat down cross-legged in front of the Phoenix Stone Gate. "Brother Monkey, brother, I

The responsibility is on your shoulders, so don’t refuse it!”

Brother Monkey pointed his middle finger at his pen: "Come on! You are better than me at this point, so hurry up and work hard, I will make this Phoenix feel uncomfortable! If it weren't for that year, brother and I..."

We knew that the rat needed to listen quietly when unlocking the door, so we all told him to shut up quickly. He looked unconvinced, and just as he was about to continue shouting, the doctor gave him a cold look, and he immediately behaved.

Time passed minute by minute, and there was no movement at the stone gate. I couldn't help but stretch my body and wanted to yawn.

"ha--"

Just when I opened my mouth, there was a soft "buzz" sound from the Phoenix Stone Gate. I stretched my waist and thought that I would be able to get it done soon. Suddenly, a sharp wind blew against me.

Straight arms passed!

"Du."

I came back to my senses and took a closer look: a sharp arrow was inserted into the wall on one side!

Thinking about the gust of wind just now, I couldn't help but break into a cold sweat. If my hand had been a few millimeters off, I might have been nailed to the wall now!

The mouse turned his head slightly and said in an innocent tone: "This is a lock plate. There is no keyhole. It can only be opened by unscrewing the mechanism at the back. I just tried it gropingly!"

"Stop and don't move!" Donghuang and the others were also startled, and all of them became alert after their drowsy expressions swept away.

The weirdo held the tail of the arrow with both hands, put one foot against the wall to exert force, and then reluctantly pulled out the hidden weapon that was shot out of nowhere.
Chapter completed!
