Chapter 145 The Battle of the Deer
This situation is far beyond our expectations. Needless to say, we will definitely be able to pass, even the Kui can almost squeeze through.
Yuanxiao said to me, "It's great, it's quite amazing. You really have to choose the right burst point." After hearing what he said, the eyes of the others gathered on me, and the sudden attention made me feel a little uncomfortable. However, looking at Yuan An and the others' eyes, either approving or surprised, it really made me very happy.
The second uncle waved his hand, "Since the passage is open, let's go over quickly! Otherwise, the Kui will come back in a while." Everyone nodded, and then climbed up the pile of stones and flipped over.
We raised the flashlight and shone it forward. A dark passage appeared again. The thick black filled the space ahead. We shone more than a dozen flashlights, but it was still useless. The light would soon be swallowed by the darkness. After hesitating for a few seconds, we jumped into the dark tide ahead without hesitation.
Under my feet was the gravel that had just exploded and splashed out, everywhere. Although our soles were very thick, when we stepped on such stones, many of them were shattered in the explosion just now, so they were still very sharp. From time to time, I could feel the soles of my feet were hurt, but I could only grit my teeth and hold it back.
After walking a distance, I noticed that the stone walls on both sides were closed a lot more than they had just happened. I also understood why there was so much gravel here. The main reason was that the space became smaller, which made the air shock wave formed by the explosion squeeze here, thus bursting out greater force. At the same time, a large amount of gravel hit here.
It is also a good thing for us to reduce the space. The upper, lower, left and right are all within the range that flashlight can cover, allowing us to more easily grasp the surrounding situation.
Uncle Er reached out and groped through the stone wall on one side, as if he was thinking. I went over and asked, "Uncle Er, what's the matter?"
Uncle Er pointed to the stone wall and said, "This passage seems to have been dug out by man."
I also came over and took a look. As the second uncle said, the traces of manual digging on the stone wall were very obvious, but I didn't understand why the ancient ancestors worked hard to dig such a passage underground? Where did this passage lead to? What is even more puzzling is why that Kui was also eager to go there?
Thinking of this, I turned to look at the darkness in front of the passage, and an impulse of rushing into my heart.
At this time, the guy walking in front suddenly spoke, "There is a stone door in front!"
We quickly went over and saw two stone doors not far ahead. The stone doors were originally fixed on the stone walls on both sides, but now, in the past, one of them has fallen off the stone wall and fallen to the ground.
When everyone walked closer, they found that the standing stone door connecting the stone wall had actually broken, but when it landed on the ground, it just leaned on the stone wall.
According to the craftsmanship level at that time, the construction of the stone door was already considered to be meticulous. There were many patterns carved on the stone door, and the space here was relatively closed, so the patterns on the door were preserved intact. Yuanxiao looked at the patterns on the stone door carefully and said, "These patterns are a bit strange, and it seems that they have not been carved. There are only half carved in many places."
Actually, after looking closely, I felt this way. Some lines on the stone gate seemed to continue, but they suddenly broke, making people feel uncomfortable when they saw it. This was simply a rhythm that forced the obsessive-compulsive disorder to death.
I think the pattern on the stone door is not done casually, it must have its meaning. I turned to look at my second uncle, Yuan An and others, but found that they were frowning, and seemed to have no clue.
Of course, there are more than these two masters in our team. I looked at Wen Mo next to me, "Boss, do you know the meaning of this strange pattern?"
Wen Mo was staring at the passage in front of him in a daze. When he heard my question, he turned around, looked at the patterns on the stone door, and said, "The patterns on this door are called Yin-Yang coupling patterns. There are parts inside and outside the door. Only by combining the two parts can we understand the meaning."
Yuanxiao asked in confusion: "Then what's the point of doing this?"
Wen Mo continued: "This is actually a manifestation of authority. You can understand it as a privileged show, because only those who can enter this door can see the carvings inside and outside the door and understand its inner meaning."
Yuanxiao smiled, "This is too formalistic. It's just taking off your pants and farting!"
Wen Mo nodded, "So, this kind of thing has only appeared in the early upper class in history for a short time, and then it has gradually been abandoned. However, although this Yin-Yang coupling pattern is no longer used for door decorations in ordinary buildings, its use in another field has been preserved, that is, the tomb!"
"Tomb?" Wen Mo said this, and I couldn't help but feel moved, so I asked, "Boss, if that's the case, there is a tomb in front of me?"
Wen Mo shook his head, "It's not certain! The grading of such things is inaccurate, so it's impossible to judge anything from this point."
Yuanxiao approached the two stone doors and looked carefully. I asked him what he was doing. He said he could see any information on the patterns of the two stone doors.
I advised him not to waste his energy. Even if we rely on the door on the stone door, we can work together to push it to see the contents on both sides, but we will never be able to stand up the other one on the ground, so we cannot collect all the information, let alone anything else.
Yuan An raised his flashlight and looked around, "In my opinion, there is a very likely possibility of a tomb here." As he said that, he shook it forward with the flashlight, "I see there are some murals on the stone wall in front. Generally speaking, this situation is more common in tombs." Then Yuan An looked at my second uncle again, "Mr. Zhuo Er, what do you think?"
The second uncle had escaped from the compass at this time, staring at it, as if he was judging the Feng Shui pulse. When he heard Yuan An ask himself, he spoke, "Although the magnetic field in this place is a bit disordered, there are still basic directions. Jia Si single Yin, Yi Xin position is the main position, gathering qi in all directions, and six contain the whole storage. It is indeed a good choice for the yin house."
After hearing the second uncle's words, Yuan An nodded, and then looked at Wen Mo, "I didn't expect that Wen Mo would have such insights at such an age. I'm afraid that the second one will not be found in this world. I wonder which school I have in my master? I wonder if my seniors are still alive?"
Yuan An’s words made me difficult to understand. It was really rude to say that he asked this. Who asked if the elders in other people’s family were still alive?
However, Wen Mo was not angry, just looked at Yuan An but didn't say anything.
I think Yuan An’s words are aimless and seem to have a deep meaning. Could it be that he is testing Wen Mo? Could it be that he has guessed Wen Mo’s identity?
Wen Mo did not respond at all. Yuan An asked himself for something boring, pursed his lips, and said nothing, but waved his hand to signal everyone to move forward.
Following the passage or maybe it should be called a tomb passage, we continued to move forward, not far ahead, and as Yuan An said, some murals appeared. Although I have not read the above content yet, the appearance of the murals still adds a bit of the tomb feeling here.
While walking, I raised my flashlight and observed the murals on both sides. As soon as I saw it, my heart trembled. I actually felt familiar. I seemed to have seen such murals somewhere before.
The form of the mural is still a typical ancient style, with clear black and white and simple lines, but despite this, it does not affect its expressiveness at all. Its content belongs to a narrative style and adopts a segmented narrative method.
The content depicted on the stone walls on both sides of the passage is different. The one on the left is the description of the war, and the one on the right is the life scene.
The first picture on the left describes a war, with both sides confronting each other and a large scale. The painter depicts many details, and the whole picture is a bit messy, but one person is very conspicuous. This person is horny and stands in front of one camp, with extraordinary momentum.
Based on the previous situation, it is easy for me to think that this person should be Chiyou, and then the one who faces him should be Huangdi.
In the second mural, the two sides fought a lot. At this time, Chiyou's Jiuli tribe had the advantage. In fact, the content on the mural was consistent with what we know.
Yuanxiao came over, looked at it and said, "This painting is the Battle of the Lu. This mural looks much more realistic. It is not like the legendary Feng Boyu Master, or the girl Yinglong. It seems that it was a normal military war at the beginning. The only thing that makes me unbelievable is that Chi You really has horns on his head!"
I thought for a while and said, "Actually, I think there are two explanations for this situation. The first is that thousands of years ago, on our land, there were actually other humans, but because of the small number, they were eventually wiped out by humans like us, or assimilated, and became the same as us. The second situation is similar to the Chiyou family, which has a heritable mutation phenomenon, which is the case where horns are born on their heads. But with the destruction of the Chiyou family, this human with mutated genes disappeared."
Yuanxiao nodded, as if she agreed, but then she shook her head with a wry smile, "Forget it, don't worry about this anymore. Even though we did thousands of years ago, we can't verify it. Let's continue reading!"
We came to the front of the third mural, and Lantern Festival immediately said, "Hey! Why are there so fewer people in the Jiuli tribe who have the advantage in the situation?"
