After leaving the stone pavilion, facing away from the back of the stone pavilion, is the rectangular raised area from the edge to the center of the circle. At this moment, the sound of water nearby suddenly weakened, but a lot of water vapor slowly rose,
Covered the sky and filled the entire area.
The ground rumbled and trembled, and the raised rectangular area that they had walked through before rose up from the ground with a dull sound of grinding bricks and stones, and gradually emerged row upon row of stairs. Bing Zhixie and the others could not see very far, but they could still see
How did the road and bridge appear in front of me?
Kun was shocked and surprised when she saw the whole process. She had never seen such a magical and magnificent mechanism before. She never thought that such a wonderful thing would happen not far from the tribe where she lived.
Bing Zhixie was also surprised: "It turned out to be like this when opening the mechanism. It would be difficult to design and build such a huge mechanism project in such a deep mountain and old forest without the strength of the whole country. The reason why the ancients built this place must be very important."
"Are we going up?" Kun asked tentatively.
This is a stupid question. The wise and astute first warrior of the Qianling tribe should not ask such a question. She is really scared.
Calculating the time, it would still be an hour or two before it gets dark. Bing Zhixie thought that the water vapor nearby seemed strange. It was not like the water vapor rising from the ground just now. It might be that there was something mysterious behind the stone steps. After a while, the sun rose, too.
It may not be able to dispel moisture in the air.
He said to Kun: "I'd better go up and take a look first. You stay here and pay attention to safety."
"I'll go with you." Kun didn't want to be alone.
Bingzhixie said: "There may be great risks inside, so it's better for you to stay."
"That... okay then." Kun didn't insist and seemed a little hesitant.
Bing Zhixie gave her the stone lantern and walked up the stone steps in the misty mist. The Pegasus he had captured followed up with its hooves.
The stone steps are very wide, and each step is not high. After walking for a few minutes, the height is about a hundred meters above the ground. At the end of the stone steps, there is a long bridge leading straight ahead. There are pillars on both sides of the bridge but there are no hope pillars.
There are also relief patterns on the guardrails and flat bridge decks.
It's a snake. The carved snake pattern covers the entire bridge deck, and the two facing pillars also have snake heads standing upright. Thinking of the snake pattern carved on the eaves of the garden stone pavilion, Bing Zhixie vaguely guessed something.
While walking on the snake-carved bridge, a purple-black light shone in the snake-headed stone pupils of the pillars on both sides. This light was long and narrow, just like the eyes of a snake. Although it was not bright, it was bright in the blinding water.
You can see clearly in the fog.
There are countless snake pupil lanterns, extending to the end of the line of sight, with a pair every seven meters or so. Bing Zhixie was thinking that the suspended stone bridge snake lanterns would only appear after the mechanism is activated. Looking down from before
This area was not seen.
After walking forward for a short distance, Bing Zhixie found that the bridge deck under his feet was damaged, and there were many gravel bricks, one foot deep and one foot shallow. He stopped and held the fire in his palm to illuminate the bridge deck: "Hey
, this texture, this kind of slate..."
Only then did he notice that the stone slabs paved on the stone bridge were the same as the ones he saw under the stilted building and the ones he found in the barrier lake. The patterns and exaggerated figures carved on them were also the same.
"Could the two gravel slabs I saw before be peeled off from this stone bridge?" Bing Zhixie looked at the bridge deck carefully. The stone slabs on the bridge were thicker and hard in texture. Judging from the degree of damage around them,
Look, it was vandalized, just like the buildings under the bridge. But why did they destroy the bridge deck instead of destroying the bridge? If they can't or don't dare to destroy the bridge, then they
Deliberately destroying the carvings on the bridge...
The bridge deck was severely damaged, and it was difficult to find a relatively perfect area. Bing Zhixie wanted to find some clues from the vague remaining carving patterns, those figures with eyes wide open, and some with narrowed eyes.
Image. Finally, he found a floor plan that was more than ten meters long. Although it had cracks and potholes, it was still complete. The location shown in the picture was the circular area under the bridge. A leader with a body length of
A man with eyes full of eyes stood outside the stone pavilion, followed by a group of tribesmen. Inside the stone pavilion, three women were worshiping. They were holding the key to the mechanism made of three stone slabs in their hands. It seemed that they were going to open the mechanism stone bridge.
Bing Zhixie took a closer look at the leader, and saw that his forehead, back, arms, legs and other places had big eyes like snakes. His own eyes were also very wide.
The next section of the picture is damaged. After this section, a man with eyes all over his body is leading the tribesmen onto the stone bridge. The former is still walking at the front with his eyes wide open to clear the way. Among the people following behind, there are several people with eyes.
They stared as big as an egg, and everyone else squinted their eyes. The pattern further back was damaged again.
Bing Zhixie wondered how there could be people in the world with eyes all over their bodies, but the characters in the pattern were exaggerated, and the eyes on their bodies might just be an exaggerated form of expression. He thought of the picture of the barrier lake that he had sketched before.
He took out the picture and took a look at it. Previously, because the stone slab he found was damaged, he could not understand the line patterns inside. Now that he had some reference, he found that the content in the picture seemed to be connected with what he had just seen.
The characters on the paper drawing are at the bottom of the drawing. There are not many characters appearing, and many of them only show their heads. The person with eyes all over his body only shows a small half of his body in the damaged picture, mixed in with the crowd.
It's hard to notice without looking carefully. Some of these people are kneeling on the ground, and a small number of people are standing. They are facing a huge object, which should be a thick black circle.
The reason why I say it should be because the pattern he copied is not complete. There is only most of a circle in the picture. This circle can be imaged as very huge, and the people in the picture look very small in comparison. There are many dotted lines on the circle.
It expands outwards and looks a bit like arrogant claws. There are also some other carvings, but due to the incomplete picture, it is impossible to identify them.
Bing Zhixie looked at it for a while and couldn't figure out what the black circle was, let alone what was going on with the people with eyes all over their bodies. But there was no need to think too much, no matter how deep the riddle was, the answer was right ahead.
You’ll know it when you see it for yourself.
After walking about one hundred and fifty steps, I saw the oncoming mountain. This was the outer boundary of the circular area. At this time, there was a straight crack on the mountain, and the passage of the stone snake extended inward.
Suddenly, the Pegasus following behind became anxious and kept neighing warnings in Bing Zhixie's ears, as if to dissuade him from going in.
