Chapter 172 The mysterious object of worship
This discovery surprised me a little. I don’t understand why Yuan An also had a Uzinamu in his hand. It was already a huge opportunity for the second uncle to find those in the ancient acropolis of Shanhuan. Could it be that the amount of this thing existed much larger than I thought? I thought it was wrong. Judging from the expression of the second uncle just now, the look of surprise on his face was not a look of surprise. It seemed that most of the Uzinamu was given to Yuan An by the second uncle.
I was puzzled, but I didn't reveal it. I wanted to wait until I got out and ask Uncle Er to understand if I had the chance. In fact, this is related to the personal relationship between Uncle Er and Yuan An, so I didn't care too much.
Tian Laosi poured all the medicine powder from the paper bag into Yuan An's mouth and fed him a few sips of water. After a while, Yuan An's face had returned to normal, and I don't know if it was the miraculous effect of this wuznamu. Yuan An, who was over fifty years old, looked more energetic than us.
Yuan An let out a long sigh, waved his hand to Tian Laosi, then stood up, turned around and smiled at us, "When people get old, there will inevitably be some problems in their health."
Yuanxiao asked, "Uncle An, are you fine now?"
"It's okay, it's okay!" Yuan An nodded, "Just recover! Let's go, continue!"
So, we continued to move forward. As we moved forward, I always felt that the stone steps under my feet were gradually shrinking. I didn’t know if this was my illusion. I always reminded myself to look at my feet with all my concentration, but my eyes were always attracted by the dark abyss on the left.
With such high mental tension, my eyes wandered quickly, and my heart was beating very hard. I quickly leaned on the stone wall to rest and signaled the person behind to leave first.
The second uncle came over and handed me the kettle, "How are you? Are you tired?"
I shook my head gently, and my heart still couldn't help but beating wildly. Although I had experienced it when I was in the Qilian Mountains, the road under our feet was much wider than it is now, and I was not so worried when walking. Here, every step I took, I always felt like I was shaking.
I took my second uncle's kettle and took a sip. I could take it out. There was not much water in my second uncle's kettle. I handed the kettle back, "Uncle II, I'm not tired, I'm just a little nervous!"
The second uncle smiled, "Whoever walks like this will be nervous," he said, holding my shoulders, "Relax, there will be no problem!"
Just as I was about to continue moving forward, when I turned my head, I suddenly saw two red lights under the abyss, which lit up instantly.
I was shocked, but when I looked at it again, I found that I could not find it. I looked carefully several times and found nothing unusual. I couldn't help but shake my head. Could it be that I was too nervous and had hallucinations!
We continued along this narrow stone staircase, and walked for a while, and the staircase that had been tilted downward began to become smooth. I felt relieved, and it seemed that the stone staircase was about to reach its end.
Sure enough, after walking more than ten steps forward, Tian Laosi greeted in front: "Everyone be careful!" Afterwards, I soon felt the stone steps under my feet disappear and replaced by a flat ground. At the same time, the road under our feet also became wider. This made me feel a little relaxed.
Soon, the stone wall on the right also came to an end. Now, there were dark abysses on both sides of our left and right, and only our feet were a path that was one meter wide. My heart was a little relaxed just now, and I started to hold back again.
When I walked on it, I seemed to be able to feel the faint flow of air. A slight wind blew by, and I felt my body shaking and my heels were constantly weak.
Looking at the scene in front of me, I felt a sense of familiarity. I have walked this route before, on the road leading to the Jiulong Heavenly Coffin in the deepest part of the Qilian Mountains. The Jiulong Heavenly Coffin there once gave me a huge shock. I don’t know what the end of this road will be!
When I thought of Qilian Mountain, I unconsciously thought of the red-eyed giant snake that almost killed us! Thinking of this, my heart suddenly shook, red-eyed! I instantly remembered the flash of red light that I saw in the abyss in a trance. I immediately felt a palpitations, and thought no, it would be a miracle that could have something like the red-eyed giant snake. We wouldn't always be so unlucky!
I was just thinking about it, but forgot the fear under my feet for a moment. When I looked up at the front, I found a platform not far away. The platform looked almost the size of a classroom. Wen Mo and the others had already walked up.
After walking for so much fear, I felt like I was about to have arrhythmia! Seeing a spacious platform appearing in front of me, I walked a few steps up and fell to the ground, gasping for breath. I relaxed my body, and all kinds of feelings seemed to have just come back. I felt the back, which was close to the ground, was cold, and then I realized that at some point, the clothes behind me were wet with sweat, and my legs were still trembling slightly. This was the result of my muscles being too tense.
After lying for a while, I sat up again, rubbing my legs gently while looking around.
This is an isolated platform surrounded by darkness. The only thing connected to other places is the path we just walked through. This is also very similar to what we saw inside the Qilian Mountains, but there was no huge Nine Dragon Heavenly Coffin here, but I also saw something not far ahead.
I saw Wen Mo, Tian Laosi and others walking over to check the situation, so I followed him. I saw a long stone table deep in the platform, with some metal utensils and pottery jars on it, but I could no longer see it. Next to the stone table was a wooden shelf. Although it was not rotten, it had long been broken and disintegrated. Now there was no sign of the appearance. There was a stone man statue on both sides of the stone table. Both statues were kneeling. Their hands were raised upwards and held a round stone plate above their heads.
I can imagine that this place should be a place for worship. The stone people on both sides should have two lampstands. The stone trays above their heads should be used to place lamp oil, but they have dried up now.
Yuanxiao looked around and touched the things on the stone table. She found that there was really nothing to hold, so she clapped her hands and said, "This altar is placed in worship or something?"
I saw that the stone people on both sides of the stone table were kneeling facing forward, so I spoke, "The object of worship should be in front of the altar." As I said, I took the lead in walking around the stone table and walked forward.
After walking two steps forward, I shone the flashlight, but I still saw only a darkness. I looked up again, but I didn't find anything. When I saw Wen Mo, I walked beside me, so I asked, "Boss, you said it's ahead..."
But before I finished speaking, I saw Wen Mo's face suddenly change, and then said in a deep voice: "Stop!"
Before I could react, my left foot, which was in front, suddenly disappeared. In an instant, I lost my center of gravity, and my body tilted and fell forward. I screamed in secret, and wanted to retreat, but it was too late. My heart almost stopped beating, and my eyes were dark.
At this moment, I suddenly felt that someone was pulling my waist hard. When I was very strong, my body immediately stopped falling. I turned around and saw that the person who pulled me turned out to be Wen Mo. Yuanxiao and others discovered the situation here and came to help. I was pulled up again. I subconsciously took two steps back, and the cold sweat on my forehead was rushing.
"What's the situation?" Yuanxiao asked strangely, and looked at the place where I was standing just now. He looked closely and immediately exclaimed, "Damn! Why does this tm have a big hole in the earth!"
"Dimen Cave!" I was shocked and hurried over. After seeing it, I immediately cursed: "Who could have thought that those ancient ancestors would worship a ground cave. It was so terrible. I didn't pay attention to my feet just now and almost fell to death!! Here are some people who are crazy, why would they worship this!"
When I said this, I couldn't help but feel moved, thinking that there was something special about this cave? I suddenly thought of the Eye of the Void! I quickly walked to the edge of the cave and lit the flashlight downwards, but soon I discovered that this place had nothing to do with the Eye of the Void, it was just a huge deep pit.
After a closer look, I also found that there were many traces of man-made excavation in this cave, and the Lantern Festival and the others even found a stone stairs that hovered down along the edge of the cave. I probably guessed that the object of the ancestors who had placed the altar on the altar table to worship should be under the cave.
After experiencing the thrilling journey just now, everyone consumed a lot of physical strength. We don’t know the situation below this cave. Therefore, Yuan An and his second uncle discussed and decided to rest on the spot first, recover their physical strength, and then enter the cave to explore.
My physical strength was really overdrawn. After hearing the decision to rest on the spot, I threw down my backpack and leaned it on it, rubbing the cold sweat that was constantly oozing from my forehead. This was a sign of weakness. Fortunately, the team doctor in the Yuan family was still there, and he was one of the few survivors among the Yuan guys at this time. He sent some chocolate to each of us, and he told us that this was his last inventory. In this case, there was insufficient calorie intake and be careful of low blood sugar.
At this moment, our food is barely enough, but there is really not much fresh water.
