Although the area of the stone slab is only the size of an ordinary stone brick, there is a cave underneath the stone slab. It should be an independent space with an extremely wide area, more than enough to accommodate us No. 27.
At this moment, Yingji was holding the ghost sign that he had snatched from my hand, and using his own flashlight, he was leading the way. In front of him was a stretch of stairs, with no end in sight at a glance, like a bottomless The abyss is like a huge mouth, which is daunting.
It is in such a depressing environment that we follow Ying Ji forward.
"This is an underground palace. Many powerful people with Master Xia live here and are responsible for guarding the palace, so you may encounter them soon, so be mentally prepared." Ying Ji reminded.
Hearing this, everyone nodded, but could not hide the excitement on their faces. After all, we are going to see the famous Xia next. It is exciting to think about it. At the same time, this also means that our mission this time has been successfully completed.
"Dengdenggla..."
There was silence on the dark steps, only the sound of breathing and footsteps kept ringing. We didn’t know how long we walked on the steps, but Ying Ji at the front suddenly stopped.
"Are you there?" I couldn't help but ask.
"No, I'm lost. There's a wall in front of me." Ying Ji spread his hands and said awkwardly.
"..."
We stared at Ying Ji blankly, with astonishment on our faces. Seeing this, Ying Ji became even more embarrassed, so he coughed slightly and said, "I almost died in the last battle back then. Master Ying took pity on me. Just now Let me do a relatively easy job like guarding the Holy Tower, but this also means that I have no idea about the situation here..."
"Okay." I nodded helplessly, then pointed to the stone wall not far ahead, and said, "The end is right ahead, it's a dead end. Do you think we went wrong? In fact, we missed it halfway. right direction?"
"It's possible." Ying Ji said unsurely.
The atmosphere was frozen for a while, and everyone had no clue. It was a bit like the feeling I had when I used to play the secret room and couldn't figure out the answer to the mystery. But just when we were considering whether to go back the way we came, Zuo Chong Hua suddenly said: "Look at this wall, are there any murals on it?"
Hearing this, everyone turned their gazes. When they shined the light of a flashlight, the portraits on the stone wall became clearer. These portraits were carved with sharp tools and were lifelike.
"It's a pyramid!"
A man who obviously did not look like a native of Yanxia spoke in broken Chinese, with a somewhat excited tone, because this man was the only Egyptian in the team, and he obviously knew something about the pyramids related to his own culture.
"What a pyramid? This is a hierarchy diagram." Zuo Chonghua pointed to the mural and said: "You can tell at a glance that the ones at the bottom are the lowest animals, and those kneeling on the ground on the second level should be ordinary people. "
"They are slaves." Ying Ji suddenly interrupted and said, "On the third level are ordinary people."
After hearing Ying Ji's words, everyone was stunned.
"slave?"
The word slave sounds so far away.
However, Ying Ji was very indifferent and explained: "Don't look at me like that. There were indeed many slaves in the past, such as sinners, prisoners of war, and those barbarians outside the Central Plains. They would eventually become slaves for the people of the Central Plains to drive .”
"..."
Everyone looked at each other in confusion. We really didn’t know how to answer this. We can only say that times are different and our ideas are different. However, we did not reason with Ying Ji on this matter, but looked at the top of the pattern again. .
The fourth level is the ten saints. We can see it at a glance. What is surprising is that the ten saints who should be the highest are not the highest level. There are two levels above them.
The fifth floor is a large group of strange-looking creatures. I have actually seen them before. In the memory of the ninth level, when Winner Village and others held a grand banquet, they worshiped this group of creatures. They thought they were gods. .
"I don't believe in gods. On the contrary, I hate them because many Blood Buddhas look like them. This makes me think that the growth and development of the Blood Buddha clan may be related to faith." Ying Jiyan explained concisely and comprehensively.
Everyone nodded slightly to show their understanding.
"Even gods are only on the fifth floor, so who is this man on the sixth floor?" I couldn't help but ask.
Above the gods, there is another layer, which is the pyramid spire of this level diagram. This is a tall man carrying a sword. Although it is a carved mural, this mural gives people an overwhelming momentum, as if The man in front of me seemed to have come to life. The only pity was that his face was not carved. All I knew was that his car was a fire dragon!
Everyone had a strong interest in this man who stood above the gods, and Ying Ji did not show off. He immediately explained: "This man we call the Human Emperor is the most critical person in leading mankind to victory in ancient wars." This character, without him, mankind would have forgotten it, and the ten saints were able to advance to four stars with his help."
"hiss!"
Everyone gasped, Ying Ji actually called this man the Human Emperor?
"This Human Emperor..." At this time, Su Liuliu wanted to learn more about the Human Emperor, but was interrupted by Mizuno Ling. He only heard him say impatiently: "Who doesn't want to be the Human Emperor? Who cares about us?" What's important is that you want to understand how we can move forward. There is no exit at all surrounded by walls, so we can't destroy the walls, right?"
"Believe me, there is definitely a secret passage hidden here." I said solemnly.
"Where is the secret passage? You can tell me why." Shuiye Ling said disdainfully.
"You see, these six levels of people...creatures, although they are in different levels, in this mural, their heads turn in the same direction, or in other words, their eyes are all staring at the same place." As I spoke, I made several gestures in front of the mural with my hands, and finally motioned them to look at the same place.
"Really?" someone expressed doubts.
"Would you know if you try it?" I smiled, and then I touched in the direction of the many murals. Finally, I locked on a small section of the wall and knocked on it one by one. In the end, I actually knocked on a hollow one. .
"Is it here?" I knocked harder on the hollow wall. Before I knocked a few times, I heard a bang. The wall covered by the level map suddenly turned into a passage leading to darkness. !
"It's a secret passage!"
