Tomb Raiders View Shan Taibao

Chapter 90 Reasons (Subscription)
"Although there are strange things like the Kunlun divine jade in this world, it is nonsense to say that we are in the red gourd at this time. Do you remember the origin of the mountain temple?"

Seeing Hu Bayi and Xueli Yang nodding, Feng Sijiu continued to add:
"We speculate that someone first discovered the natural portrait of the mountain god, and then built the mountain temple there, and this gourd-shaped cave is supposed to be the same."

Hearing this, Wang Kaixuan looked bewildered, not knowing what he meant, but Hu Bayi suddenly came to his senses, and hurriedly asked:

"Brother Feng, do you mean that someone discovered this gourd cave first, and then put a red gourd in front of the cave?"

"Well, that's what it means."

After getting the exact answer, Hu Bayi breathed a sigh of relief, he was really worried just now, everyone really ran into the red gourd.

On the other hand, Wang Kaixuan became frowning, only regretting that the red gourd was not a fetish, so he was happy for nothing.

But Shirley Yang was not at ease after listening, she frowned and looked around, and then said worriedly:
"Although we know what's going on, we still have a problem to figure out, whether the bugs and fossil trees in this cave are getting bigger, or we are getting smaller. "

Hu Bayi, who was already nervous, heard her words, and his eyelids twitched:
"What do you mean by that? How do you tell us to get smaller and smaller?"

"Didn't you see these plants and insects, as well as a large number of ancient tree fossils, are all surprisingly large here? That's why I wonder if there is something in this gourd-shaped cave that gradually changes the body of the people who come in. Small."

Shirley Yang's words sounded unbelievable. At first hearing, I thought it was unreliable, but when I saw those large plants and insects, Hu Ba felt confused and couldn't find a clue, so he quickly turned to hope. Seal forty-nine.

I only hope that this well-informed and well-traveled Guanshan Taibao can solve the puzzle and see the eyes of the three of them again.

Feng Sijiu pretended to think about it, then coughed dryly, and slowly said his "speculation":

"We haven't gotten smaller. I'm sure of that. As for why the insects and plants here grow so big, you must still remember the two meteorites you saw before entering the Snake River.
I speculate that the meteorite has some kind of radiation that can form a special environment with something here. In this way, the animals that often live here will be larger than the usual kind. This is not me talking nonsense. My grandfather was there I encountered it in an underground forest in a cave. In that special environment, ants could be as big as a fist, and mushrooms could be as tall as a person. "

After listening to Feng Sijiu's detailed conjecture, Hu Bayi and Xueli Yang really felt as if they saw the moon through the clouds and mist. These incomprehensible things lost their sense of mystery when they were told by the other party.

"Brother Feng, you are well-informed and knowledgeable. I was on the verge of losing my mind before, but after hearing your explanation, the secret of the Gourd Cave is probably just..."

"Okay, you two stop talking, let's see what's in the water first?"

Hu Bayi, who was talking, was interrupted by Wang Kaixuan. At this time, he saw the other party staring at the water. He didn't know what he saw, because the flares had already been burned out. giant.

When Feng Sijiu saw it, he turned on the flashlight and shone it. For a moment, the three of them were extremely shocked, because they only saw a lot of giants on the water, which turned out to be large toads.

The big ones are like wheels, and the small ones are similar to funnels. There are many bumps on the back of those toads. There is no doubt about that thing, it must have many poisonous glands.

Under the light of the flashlight, several people saw those big toads, opened their mouths wide, and then ejected several feet long tongues from their mouths, instantly attacking those big black mosquitoes on the water surface.

In an instant, the water surface in front of the fossil tree became a mess, and the toad's big mouth opened and closed, swallowing countless black mosquitoes into its belly.

Each of the toads was astonishingly big, and their eyes were like two red lights, so densely packed that it was impossible to count how many there were.

It turned out that those big toads floating on the water were preying on the large groups of black gnats gathered together

"Scared me, it turned out to be a group of toads eating bugs."

After Wang Kaixuan finished speaking, he felt extremely disgusted, and then he spit on the ground, but when he lowered his head, he realized that the stone platform under his feet seemed a bit extraordinary.

"Have you noticed? The stone platform under our feet doesn't seem to be formed naturally?"

Hearing this, several people looked at the stone platform under their feet. The atmosphere was too tense before and they didn't pay attention. It turned out that this stone platform was not formed naturally.

I saw that it was very neat and square in shape, and there were obvious traces of man-made repairs on it.

Seeing this, Wang Kaixuan hurriedly squatted down and picked some green moss on it, and a place was cleared in a blink of an eye.

When Hu Bayi and Xueli Yang saw each other, they stared at each other. They were obviously very surprised, because what they saw above were reliefs one after another. The composition was complex and contained a lot of information. These reliefs recorded Some kind of secret sacrificial ceremony in ancient times.

This mysterious ancient ceremony was carried out in this gourd cave, and the stone platform where everyone was sitting was a special altar.

The first thing that catches the eye is the best-preserved pair on the altar. It is so large that it can be seen that there is a tall black-faced god in the figure of this stone carving, with big ears and high nose, and rough hair on the face. Holding a skull.

"Look at this black face, doesn't it look like the statue enshrined in the mountain temple? It's just that there are two servants of the Yasha ghost missing. It turns out that this gourd cave is his site, and I don't know where this grandson came from. .”

No one responded to Wang Kaixuan's words, and several people squatted down to clean up the green moss and vines. Unfortunately, except for the one that can be seen, most of the things that were cleaned out were already unrecognizable.

I thought it was just a few pictures, but I heard Shirley Yang next to me say in surprise:
"Look here. This is the last part. It's two pieces connected together. Thank God, I can still see the outline."

Hearing what she said, Feng Sijiu and the others rushed over to take a look, and saw that the painting described the scene of people catching toads in the gourd-shaped cave in ancient times to worship the gods.

After reading this painting, Hu Bayi and Xue Liyang were stunned. It seems that what Feng Sijiu said earlier was not wrong. It's not that the bodies of the people have become smaller, but that the cave is indeed in the shape of a gourd, in the shape of a trumpet.

"Look at this, after we drilled in from the narrow cave like the mouth of the gourd, we have now reached the first half of the gourd's belly."

Hu Ba pointed to the pattern on the carving while talking, Xueli Yang saw it, and said with a strange and puzzled expression:

"Look at this, is it saying that if we want to pass through this hole to reach the King's Tomb at the mouth of the gourd, we have to sacrifice a toad to get through?"

"You don't need to work so hard. After all, this altar is a relic of thousands of years ago. How can the mountain god survive to the present? Even a bastard tortoise can only live for 1000 years. How can other animals live to this day? , I guess the cave over there is already empty."

What Hu Bayi said made sense, Wang Kaixuan nodded repeatedly to express his agreement, but Shirley Yang's serious expression remained unchanged.

"It's better not to make a conclusion too early. Look at the last engraving. There is a female corpse. We have just seen the female corpse at the bottom of the water. Since there are still female corpses, there may be nothing in the cave over there. "

Hearing this, Hu Bayi hurriedly looked away, and saw a black-faced and cruel god appeared on the last mohua stone carving, surrounded by countless women, and those women were obviously dead bodies.

All of them were lying flat on the ground with their backs facing the sky, their hands spread out, hanging on the left and right, their legs arched in an arc, as if they were crawling on the ground with anti-joints.
