Chapter 69(1/2)

I was really startled, but fortunately I saw a lot of living corpses along the way, only one human head, so I quickly calmed down.

I originally thought that this might be similar to the wine cellar found in a certain Han Dynasty tomb, which was specially designed to store the delicacies of the time to ensure that the owner of the tomb could still be well clothed and well-fed after his death.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be the water used to soak rotting corpses.

But after so many years, even if it was soaked in water, it should have turned into dry bones long ago, but this head was only slightly rotten.

Although I'm not that afraid of dead bodies now, having a dead head floating in front of me still makes me feel sick.

I secretly opened the copper cover of the bronze statue to see if the two giant statues had left, but a ray of weak light shone into the statue, and the liquid inside suddenly began to bubble, as if it was boiling.

I was shocked and immediately looked towards the water.

The head floating on the water gradually turned over as the water surged.

Before, it was face up, but because it had been soaked for too long, the face was blurred and white, and it looked like a mask.

At this time, it turned around, and when the back of its head was completely facing up, the water became calm again.

I immediately realized something was wrong, so I pushed open the copper cover and escaped.

However, the copper cover suddenly seemed to be nailed to death and could not be pushed open.

Sure enough, it is very evil here!

At this time, I looked at the head again. It was already standing on the water, facing me with the back of its head. The thin hair hanging on the back of the head spread out on its own.

What was exposed was a pair of blood-red, insect-like compound eyes, and a big bloody mouth. It stared at me with those blood-red eyes, and then let out a weird smile. This smile caused the face behind it to also smile, front and back.

The corners of the mouths of the two faces were twisted together, as if the head was split open.

"Help! Help!!" I pushed the copper cover with all my strength and shouted loudly, hoping that Shang Qingyun would come to save me if he was out of danger.

What brought the wait was not Shang Qingyun's critical shot, but the attack of the human head.

It burst into laughter from nowhere, and its weird mouth was full of jagged fangs. It was like a hungry mad dog, pouncing on me and biting me.

I instinctively used my arms to block, thinking that because I was long and thickly clothed, I would be able to avoid the pain of my flesh. But the teeth of the human head were extremely sharp and instantly bit through my sleeves. The sharp teeth pierced directly into the bones of my arms.

, the pain is excruciating.

But compared with saving my life, the pain was insignificant. It bit my arm and stopped biting. I pushed the copper cover hard with one hand, and the other bitten arm hit the inner wall of the bronze statue hard, and the human head

My flesh and blood were all bruised and my brains were smashed out.

At the same time, the copper cover of the bronze statue was also slightly loose. I breathed a sigh of relief, stepped on the copper ring inside the bronze statue, and finally pushed up the copper cover.

The bronze cover of the bronze statue fell to the ground, and I crawled out of the statue. At the same time, I felt pain and itching on my body, and then began to shed my skin. In the blink of an eye, the wounds on my arms disappeared.

But I don't know if it's an illusion, but I always feel that the injured arm is a little thinner than the other arm, and it doesn't look proportional.

I sat on the edge of the round mouth of the bronze statue, thinking I could finally breathe.

But once again I heard the sound of gurgling water coming from under my feet, and this time it was not just the bronze statue where I was that had this happen.

All the funeral utensils here began to make strange noises, some like sprouts breaking through the ground, and some like clay cows ringing bells.

I looked down and saw that one after another human heads were emerging from the water inside the bronze statue. They were floating on the water one after another. Just like the previous head, they turned their backs towards me, revealing their hateful features like insects.

In horror, I rolled down from the bronze statue. When I got up, I found that the tightly fitting copper covers of the surrounding statues had all been pushed open by themselves, and the copper covers fell down with a crackle.

The liquid inside the statue is like a fountain, with water spray half a meter high.

The heads of those immersed in the statue jumped out of the statue one after another through the water waves.

At the same time, countless heads appeared from other instruments, and they did not know how, and they flew up. It was as if the seal was released, and they took off into the sky after leaving the instrument.

The sky and the earth were overwhelming, like a swarm of locusts in autumn, attacking me.

It's too late, it's too late.

At this time, a figure snatched the military bag from me and quickly took out a fire stick from the bag and lit it. Seeing this, those people did not dare to approach.

He only dared to circle around and make sounds like people cursing from time to time.

The little figure reached back and grabbed my collar, and I, a 120-pound adult man, was carried on his shoulders and ran.

"Qingyun, you are indeed fine!" I was overjoyed.

There is no one else but Shang Qingyun who can be so skillful.

Shang Qingyun didn't say anything, he just carried me and ran deeper.

His footsteps were very fast, and soon we saw a place ahead of us that looked like a tomb passage or a doorway.

Shang Qingyun seemed to be anxious too, he grabbed me and threw me out like a basketball.

Then he rolled forward himself and entered the corridor.

Those heads seemed to be afraid of this place and turned around and left.

"Qingyun, you——"

"puff--"

I was about to thank him when Shang Qingyun opened his mouth and spit out a mouthful of blood, which splashed on my face.

I was so frightened that I quickly checked on him and found that there were serious fractures in several places on his body. His heartbeat and pulse also became very weak. I was not even sure whether his internal organs were damaged.

I have never felt so scared and sad as I do now.

I'm afraid that Shang Qingyun will die because of this, after all, they all accompany me to take risks.

"Qingyun, you, you, don't die! I'll look for anything that can be bandaged, yes! I'll look for it."

Shang Qingyun grabbed me: "No, I'll take a nap."

After saying that, he sat down cross-legged and closed his eyes.

I was afraid that he would not wake up, so I continued to rummage through the bag and shook him at the same time: "No, don't sleep. We are not looking for anything to cure the poison. I will take you back. Let's go to the hospital first."

Shang Qingyun was annoyed by me and raised his hand to point under my left rib. I suddenly felt weak all over and sat back on the ground, unable to speak or move.

Just like that, I could only watch Shang Qingyun close his eyes tightly and lower his head.

After a few hours, my strength gradually recovered and I was finally able to move.

But at this time, Shang Qingyun had been silent for a long time, and I was very sad.

It's so sad that I even want to chop off my own hand. Is it important to understand the poison? Is it worth letting so many people sacrifice their lives for me?

I originally wanted to bury Shang Qingyun first, but when I walked to him, I found that Shang Qingyun's face seemed to be much rosier and his breathing was calmer.

I touched him quietly.

Those broken bones healed on their own!!

Such a powerful healing ability has to make me doubt it.

Considering that Shang Qingyun knew everything about everything along the way, could it be said that he had actually been poisoned by the Yanwei Gu?

But I didn't see white hair or strange spots on him.

There is only one possibility: his poison is cured.

All in all, I felt relieved to see that he was safe and sound.

Only then did I notice that we seemed to be in a corridor.

I was anxious about Shang Qingyun's injury, so I had no time to be distracted. Only now did I notice that there seemed to be paintings on both sides of the corridor.

These are not murals or reliefs, but rock paintings. The most iconic thing is the red paint used in them.

This is a recording method that appeared as early as in primitive human society. The earliest humans did not have writing, so painting became the way to record everything and was also the source of writing.

In fact, the murals and reliefs of later generations are also a type of rock painting, which are more carefully distinguished from the most original classification of rock paintings.

But the earliest petroglyphs are unique.

The paintings painted in this corridor are the earliest rock paintings. The main difference is that these paintings are simple and mainly focus on recording events. At the same time, it can be clearly seen that they were carved in stone.

While Shang Qingyun was still awake, I read it on the wall of the nearby corridor.

What is carved on the wall is basically the past of Cancong's founding of the People's Republic of China. Basically, it is not much different from the legend, but there is a section of rock paintings that really interests me.

The story engraved on this seems familiar to me.

I vaguely remember hearing Er Pang talk about the story recorded in "Taiping Silkworms and Horses" in the Ou Si Kingdom at Qiqiaodu Tomb.

It would be too troublesome to explain it in detail, so I will simply summarize the story.

In fact, this story is not complicated, it is even bloody.

Just like animals repaying kindness in many folk tales, a general of a certain country had a daughter who raised a horse.

One day, the general went on an expedition to another country and did not return for a long time, so the woman made a wish to the horse. If she could bring her father back, she would marry the horse.

Later, the horse did indeed bring her father back, but the father and daughter went back on their word, and the general skinned and deboned the horse and buried it in the courtyard.

Unexpectedly, the horse had an immortal spirit, attached to its skin, turned into a gust of wind, abducted the woman, and turned her into a silkworm that could spin silk and cocoon, and attached itself to the three mulberry trees.

However, we have verified it in the country of Ossi.

The horse skin is actually the river map that the dragon and horse bear, and those human moths also became like this because of the poison.
