Embedded in the mountain wall are human bones. To be precise, these should be human skeleton fossils formed in a certain period. This person is in a running posture and blends into the mountain rocks. What surprised me most is that this person's facial bones are different.

.

Its skull shape was very square, and its skull size was larger than that of today's human skulls. The most important thing is that its ear bones were actually made of two right-angled hard bones.

In addition, this person also has a single protruding bone that looks like a horn on the top of his head.

In addition, this man has more teeth than humans, and regardless of the front teeth or the back teeth, they are all sharp teeth.

Just looking at the shape of the skull, it is difficult to imagine that this is a human being. It is more appropriate to say that it is an animal that can walk upright.

However, after seeing the ancient Shu Zongmu portraits in Cancong Tomb and Sanxingdui, and looking at the shape of this fossil, I got the third answer.

These are the ancestors of ancient Shu, Zongmu people like Cancong.

It seems that this trip was the right one.

I continued to climb up and came to the entrance of the cave.

This reminded me of my not-so-good memories of the weird cave in Huang Zhong’s tomb. I felt more at ease after confirming that the rocks under my feet were stones and not ice.

I lit a fire to illuminate it, and then walked deeper into the cave.

In such a dark and humid place, fire is safer than light. After all, many animals living in dark environments are often afraid of open flames but have the ability to focus light.

I kept vigilant and went deeper, thinking that some monsters would appear along the way.

But until I saw the slope going down, I realized that my worries were unfounded.

Aunt Qian prepared maps of two routes. It is possible that she knew she could not defeat me, so she prepared a safer route.

In contrast, maybe the road Erpang and the others took is what I want to see, but that road may be more dangerous.

There are obvious traces of people's past life underneath the cave, but these traces are very old.

I walked around once and found that there are three levels of underground ruins in Yingpan Mountain.

The first floor is the daily living place for the ancestors of the Shushan clan. The second floor is the refuge place built by the ancestors of the Shushan clan. Maybe they would hide here after wild animals enter the cave. The third floor is the tomb.

Unlike the extraordinary large tombs I had experienced before, the Yingpanshan underground ruins were so ordinary that I couldn’t believe it.

If you see the underground ruins of Yingpan Mountain and compare the ancient tombs of Cancong and Haiyan Dragon Palace, you will even think that the Cancong Tomb is probably a forgery by modern people, or a miracle created by alien talents.

I found some utensils that were damaged due to age on the first and second floors. No poisonous insects were found in them, but I found another very interesting clue.

That is, they were painted in the soil, and because of the special environment of the underground ruins, the years of sedimentation have made those simple paintings that should have easily disappeared into the soil of the cave actually survived like murals.

Although these paintings are very crude, they are more expressive and easy to understand.

In short, these paintings tell a story.

It is said that the ancestor of the Shushan family came from a place with beautiful scenery. He and another "man" with a human face and a snake body were brothers.

One day, for some reason, they had to leave their hometown. They obtained an immortal skill from a god, but this magical skill was too magical. If it were obtained by one person, the gods were afraid that that person would be confused by the power.

Bring endless disasters.

So the gods split this magical art into two halves and taught them each part of it.

But paper can't cover up the fire. After learning the truth, the two brothers fought fiercely, all in order to force the other to reveal half of the magical skills the other had mastered.

In the end, the gods were angry and took back the magic they had mastered. Although the magic was taken away, the two still preserved some of their skills.

After leaving their hometown, they each settled in two places. One was in Shu, called Shushan clan, and the other was in Badi, known as Ba people.

They used their only remaining skills to master silkworm rearing and snake training respectively. Although they had constant disputes for thousands of years, they lived in peace with each other.

Until one day, a person appeared in the Shushan clan. He used the methods left by his ancestors to change the lives of the ancient Shu people. This person was Cancong.

He got something from the sea and used the thaumaturgy passed down from his ancestors to make his people different from ordinary people and live an extraordinarily long life.

But the price is that those who accept this magic will change their appearance and become monsters like beasts. Over time, disputes arise among the ancient Shu people, so most of the ancient Shu people choose to move south, and only a small part of the ancient Shu people

People stayed in their hometowns in the upper reaches of the Minjiang River.

Nowadays, the ancient Shu people who moved south have been wiped out due to various reasons. It seems that only the remaining ancient Shu people in the upper reaches of the Minjiang River understand why the silkworm bushes are so dense and why Yanwei Gu was so popular.

It seems that this should be the message the storyteller wanted to convey to me when he reminded me to go to Yingpan Mountain.

For some reason, seeing the content of this painting, I feel that I am one step closer to some truths.

Next, I only need to meet up with Er Pang and the others, go directly to Longbo Mountain, and finally go north to Jiuzhaigou to find the former residence of the ancient Shu people.

At this time, I had already heard the voices of Er Fat and the others talking in the stone chamber on the third floor where the sarcophagus was placed.

It has to be said that Erpang's sense of smell is absolutely sensitive and precise when it comes to going to graves.

As soon as he goes underground, he will definitely go to the tomb first. He always doesn't look at places like this that have no clear cultural relic value.

I quickly went down to the third floor, thinking about reminding Erpang and the others not to touch things randomly.

As a result, when I reached the third floor, the voices suddenly stopped.

I turned on the flashlight and found that there was no one on the third floor!

My heart skipped a beat. Could it be that I was hallucinating? Or maybe I had made a wrong judgment. They might be above or nearby.

I checked the third layer carefully and found that there was no lower layer.

I also tried to explore with a retractable Luoyang shovel, and it was all solid soil underneath.

"Second Fatty! Senior! Ah Hui! Are you there?" I thought maybe they had found some secret passage, and if they didn't go far, they might be able to hear it.

But I shouted for a long time, but there was no sound.

I looked around and didn't find any hidden passages. This was just a place where the sarcophagus was parked.

In the past, Shu people advocated stone coffin burials, and even Cancong, the first emperor of ancient Shu, was no exception.

They claim that they were born among the rocks, so they will return to the rocks after death.

I looked at my watch and saw that it had been three hours since I woke up and set off. They should have arrived even if they had to crawl.

Just when I was wondering, the light of the flashlight suddenly flashed.

I immediately became alert, looked up and looked around, and found that there were no people or animals around.

I suspected that my eyes were dazzled just now, but when I thought this, the light flashed again.

This time I saw it clearly. It was not a malfunction of the flashlight, but someone just passed by me!

To be precise, it was a black shadow!

I was startled, and hurriedly freed up one hand to quietly pull out the pistol, and then looked around.

Now my field of vision is a sector in front of me, which means there is a blind spot behind me.

The other party may be sneaking up on me from behind, and I'll see if the gun is loaded.

Then turned around suddenly!

Still nothing!

But there was still a dark shadow flashing past the light.

I felt more and more uneasy.

I once read a saying that people can accept anything that is difficult to understand. The real fear comes from the unknown.

This is the true portrayal of my heart now.

In fact, after many experiences, even if a living corpse suddenly pops up behind me or a monster appears, I can accept it. It is nothing more than a life-and-death struggle with it.

Although my current situation is not optimistic, but with Yanwei Gu, I am not afraid of boiling water.

What I'm afraid of is this situation where I know there is something but can't see it no matter what.

Commonly known as "seeing ghosts alive".

My brain began to work rapidly, thinking about who that shadow was.

Every time I try to capture its location with light, I can only catch an afterimage.

But this also made me confirm two things: first, this thing is afraid of light. Second, it is an afterthought every time.

Because of this, every time I turn around sharply, the light will always be briefly distorted by the shadow. Because it doesn't know that I'm going to turn around, and it's obviously not very intelligent, and it can't learn to make mistakes.

In this case, I thought of a good idea. I also have a flare here. Liu Sa bought it from the arms dealer before, saying it was for emergencies.

I think we all have flashlights now, so what are flares for?

Today is a good day.

I unhooked the flare and threw it deep into the tomb.

Suddenly the entire third floor of the tomb was illuminated.

I heard a scream from behind me, and I immediately shined the flashlight behind me. After all, after the flare took effect, the only shadow behind me was.

The thing finally had nowhere to hide, and it seemed to have become angry and screamed strangely as it pounced on it.

I was confident that I could shoot it, but the moment I pulled the trigger, the monster actually avoided the bullet with extremely weird skills.

This is the most agile being I have ever seen besides Shang Qingyun.
