After hearing what Zhou Lan said, I immediately glanced around.
Sure enough, within the scope of the hernia light, there was no shadow of Chen Mo.
When we entered this small cave, Chen Mo was still in a coma, so it was impossible for him to walk away on his own, and even if he happened to wake up, he would not disappear without saying hello.
The only possibility is that he was dragged away by something or someone.
"Brother, it seems that there is no peace in this small cave." I said to Zhou Lan and started to become vigilant.
"Xiao Cang, only the old woman can enter the ghost town behind the waterfall. If she brings another group of people in after she goes out, it will most likely be Andrew and the others. From now on, we must fight twelve people.
Be extremely energetic and don't be careless." Zhou Lan looked at me and said seriously.
"Brother, I will." I nodded seriously towards Zhou Lan, "But the most important thing right now is to find Chen Mo first."
Zhou Lan heard what I said, looked ahead with the hernia lamp, and then said: "Xiao Cang, according to the situation we saw in front of us, the end of this corridor is probably a space that will shock us.
, we must be mentally prepared.”
"Brother, how do you know, just based on this tunnel that looks a bit shabby?" I asked.
The corridor in front of me is made of sapphire regular hexagonal bricks. According to my experience, except for some special murals on the four walls, there seems to be nothing special about it. I don’t know Zhou Lan’s theory.
Where did it come from.
"Do you understand the meaning of the mural above?" Zhou Lan suddenly asked me.
"Hey, brother, you are really asking me questions. How can I understand it? I only know that the paintings on it are all women." I looked at the entire mural and then scratched the back of my head.
Said to Zhou Lan.
"The combination of all the murals in this corridor probably depicts the image of Empress Houtu's birthday." Zhou Lan's eyes fell on the mural on our right and he said thoughtfully.
"Empress Houtu, isn't she a legendary figure? Although we often say that the emperor and heaven are above and Houtu is below, the image of Empress Houtu feels like a fictional character created by the common people. Does it really exist?"
I said a little surprised.
"If it were in the past, I would definitely think that such a group of murals were fabricated, but after traveling such a long way and experiencing so much, I now believe that any historical facts that we originally thought were fictional or mythical
The legendary people or creatures have really existed in the long history." Zhou Lan's serious expression told me that he was definitely not joking.
"But, brother, what does Empress Houtu have to do with this matter? Is she also one of the eight major families? Or is this family, one of the eight major families hidden deep in Shennongjia, particularly worshiping Empress Houtu, so they put her
The grand occasion of the birthday has been described." I said.
"According to the scene depicted in this mural, it is absolutely impossible for a descendant who worshiped her to imagine it. It must have been someone who participated in the birthday feast of Hou Tu Empress to describe it so carefully. You see, the seat in the middle
The woman on the futon, if you look at her eyes, can you feel anything different from ordinary people?" Zhou Lan said, pointing to the elegant woman in the middle and asked.
I walked closer and observed carefully.
As I looked at it, I felt that the eyes of the woman who was called Hou Tu Empress by Zhou Lan seemed to be alive.
Just like the eyes of healthy and happy people will shine with light.
The whole look in his eyes seemed to be filled with oxygen.
At this moment, I seemed to have walked into the woman's eyes, or the woman had temporarily placed her eyes on me.
Because I saw the grand occasion of the birthday banquet, one by one the nobles rushed towards me and poured me wine to celebrate my birthday.
Immediately afterwards, two men, whose bodies were only covered by leaves, came over holding a woman dressed differently from us. They were mumbling at the end and didn't know what the superego was saying.
Just when I was still in a state of confusion, the woman was pulled by the leaf man to an open space slightly in front of the banquet.
The woman was pushed forward and fell to the ground.
At this time, two things suddenly rushed down from the sky.
I took a closer look and saw, my mother, that they were actually two huge tango snakes.
The two tango snakes flapped their wings, one on the left and the other on the right, picking up the woman who fell on the ground, and then flew back into the sky, hovering in mid-air.
The snake flapping around, probably for a short while, seemed to suddenly exert force, tearing the woman in half.
At this time, the entire birthday party was filled with joy.
Oh my God.
I felt the blood of the woman who had been torn in half splattered on my face, and instantly I felt my stomach churn, and I couldn't help but retch.
"Xiao Cang, what's wrong with you, are you okay?"
I felt someone shaking me vigorously, and I suddenly came back to my senses.
"Brother," I felt my lips trembling uncontrollably.
"Xiao Cang, what happened just now? Are you hallucinating?" Zhou Lan asked.
"Brother, it's not a hallucination. I, I seem to have traveled through time and space to empress Houtu." I said, and even I felt a little incredible.
"Time travel? Xiao Cang, what do you mean? What time travel? I don't seem to understand." Zhou Lan looked confused.
"When I just stared into Empress Houtu's eyes, I seemed to have traveled through time in her body, and then I saw the grand occasion of the birthday banquet, and, moreover, I also saw them killing slaves, and there were snakes, brother.
, so scary, so bloody." I said, feeling that I was still a little frightened, as if those two huge tango snakes would appear in front of us at any time.
"Xiao Cang, it's okay, it's okay. There may be some special substance in this tunnel. Under certain circumstances, the situation at that time will be replayed like a camera. Don't scare yourself." Zhou Lan patted my face.
Shoulder comforted.
"Brother, those two tan snakes were really scary. When I think about it now, I still feel scared."
As I said this, I suddenly thought that the two snakes I saw on Queen Houtu's body could be the snakes that rolled me into her mouth at the gate of the city.
If this is the case, is it possible that the ghost town we are in now is the palace of Queen Houtu.
Assuming that my idea just now is correct, then there are two tango snakes around us, and the one that never appeared from beginning to end could be the one that took Chen Mo away.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel shocked.
I have seen the power of the tan snake. If the unconscious Chen Mo really fell into its mouth, he would definitely be in danger.
"Brother," I suddenly called out to Zhou Lan, who was still studying the murals on the corridor wall carefully.
"Ah," Zhou Lan turned around and responded to me.
"The tango snake we met at the gate of the city is probably the tango snake that tore the slaves in the mural. If this is the case, then there are no other snakes around us except the one that has been injured by us.
Besides, there is another one." I said to Zhou Lan with a serious face.
"Then, you said that Chen Mo, who was fighting with someone in the dark and was covered in blood, might be fighting against that snake." Zhou Lan looked at me and said, with a bit of a look on his face.
Ugly.
"Brother," I suddenly couldn't say a word.
At such a critical moment, when we brothers were fighting side by side, Chen Mo was fighting a life-and-death struggle with Tan Snake alone. I wonder if he would be very desperate.
"Brother, what should we do now?" I asked after calming down.
"According to what you just saw in the mural, this is most likely the palace of Empress Houtu. Then we can only go forward. We will definitely find something. It is uncertain, but our guess is correct.
, Empress Houtu is one of the eight major families." Zhou Lan said.
"But, brother, there are roads in front and back of this corridor, which way should we go?" I asked.
"According to the order depicted in this mural, we should be walking towards the front of us." After Zhou Lan finished speaking, he had already turned on the xenon lamp and walked towards the front.
I knew he wanted to be one step ahead of me, so that if there was any danger, he could block some of it for me.
Thinking of this, I quickly caught up with him.
The corridor is not very long, and we reached the end not long after walking.
At the end is a stone door.
Zhou Lan and I pushed the stone door open hard.
When we pushed open the stone door, we were already prepared to have a concealed weapon behind the door.
Unexpectedly, after the door was opened, everything was calm.
We walked in and found ourselves in a brightly lit palace.
