The light in this huge cave is not dim, maybe because the rocks here are glowing. The cave has unfathomable twists and turns, and the caves are connected with each other, getting deeper and deeper, revealing a cave hall from time to time. The scenery here is extremely beautiful. Everything was created after who knows how many years. It is the ingenious handiwork of nature. Looking at the entire China, there are absolutely few places that can compare with this cave landscape. Having said that, Mo Lin was still extremely cautious every step he took. He did not forget that this was the depths of Snake Mountain just because the scenery here was different from other places. However, perhaps it was because of his caution that he happened to take in all the scenery here. All in sight.
At this time, Mo Lin suddenly saw that there seemed to be murals on the stone wall in front of him, because the rock patterns there were very different from those naturally formed.
He hurried over and looked at the murals on the rocks carefully. The first painting showed a mountain, the second painting was a bamboo forest, the third painting was a lake, and the fourth painting was high mountains. , and the fifth picture is a huge cave.
Looking at these murals, Mo Lin fell into deep thought. For nearly a hundred years, the villagers at the foot of Snake Mountain were afraid of the existence of the snake god. No one should have been to Snake Mountain, but these murals were definitely painted by people.
Molin paced back and forth and thought about, first of all, the origin of the murals, and secondly, his intuition told him that these five paintings definitely had some meaning. It seemed that the lines had been carved a long time ago. Just these five paintings, It is only ten meters away, and it is carved on the stone wall with rocks. It would take ten days and a half to complete any one picture.
After so much time and effort, what exactly did the author of these five paintings want to express?
There were still too few clues based on these murals, so Molin had to keep walking forward, but he came to a fork not far away. There were four caves in front of him, and which one to go to became a problem.
Mo Lin is not a casual person, nor does he believe in his luck. Who knows where his luck will take him. He looked at all the four caves in front of him. When he walked into the third one on the right When I was in the cave, I was shocked to find that there were murals on the stone wall of the cave.
This time, the mural first painted a huge cave with rugged rocks and countless sharp stones hanging on the top of the cave. Molin took a closer look and suddenly realized that this painting was not painted here!
With this association, the five murals discovered before can also be explained. The first one may be Snake Mountain, the second one is Purple Bamboo Forest, the third one is Snake Pond, the fourth one is Eight Snake Ridges, and the fifth one is this cave. The entrance to the painting is where they walked.
Mo Lin walked out of this cave and took a look at the fourth cave. Sure enough, only the third cave had murals, and the other three did not. So he had a guess that these murals might be led here by the author. Information left behind when a person goes to a certain place.
The next painting is four snakes of different shapes, some curled up, crawling on the ground, attacking postures, and the front of the snakes, but the strange thing is why these snakes have a pair of cockscombs on their heads. Son, there seems to be no such snake in China! Or are these snakes mutated?
No matter what, I finally gave Molin another piece of useful information. Snakes are still the world here!
The mural ended here. Molin continued to walk forward. After walking for a long time, he didn't see any more murals, but he believed that there would be more murals.
Finally, he came to a fork again. This fork had the same four caves as before. Molin still found a mural in one of the caves.
This time, the painting level of the mural dropped a lot. It was obvious that it was not painted by one person. This mural painted the back of an adult with two children. The next painting showed an open space with only a few lines in the center. There was a seat. When Molin saw this place, he was a little confused. He only knew that he had never been to this place. It might be the place he wanted to go to next, but what could this mean?
The next painting is another person's painting style. It depicts a monster with a human body and a snake head. The strange thing is that the monster's snake head also has a cockscomb.
Combining the previous murals, Molin already had a complete guess, but he didn't know the authenticity and accuracy of this guess. After all, it was just his guess based on the content of the mural.
Forty years ago, the snake god of Snake Mountain was
The people were furious when they trespassed into the depths of Snake Mountain. They ordered the villagers of Snake Mountain to sacrifice a small sacrifice every five years and a big sacrifice every ten years. At the big sacrifice every ten years, a pair of boys and girls should be sacrificed. According to Zhou Qiang's description at that time, the villagers would sacrifice the children they had prepared. Put it in the Snake Temple on the night after the sacrifice, and the Snake God himself will come to pick it up when the time comes. Therefore, the adult on the mural leading two children, and the one with a human body and a snake head are most likely the Snake God himself!
As for the author of the mural, it goes without saying that they must be the children who have been brought to Snake Mountain by the snake god in the past forty years. As mentioned before, the snake god asked the snake mountain villagers to sacrifice boys and girls not to eat them, but to absorb the children. The yin and yang essence in boys and girls is helpful for their cultivation. However, children who absorb the yin and yang essence will not die immediately. They can still survive for a long time.
These children are all under the age of five and do not know how to express their thoughts in words, so they describe the situation here through drawings, probably in the hope that one day someone will reach this place and they can be rescued by the arrival of this person.
Unfortunately, the reality was not as they wished. Counting the days, these children have been dead for at least ten years.
Molin continued walking forward. The next stop should be the location on the mural. I wonder if there is any exit there.
Suddenly, after walking more than ten meters, Mo Lin saw another mural. He hurriedly walked forward and continued to look. This time the mural was clearer than the previous ones. Although the painting style was that of another person, it could be inferred that the mural was painted by another person. The secondary mural was the last to be engraved so far.
The mural showed a pregnant woman with a big belly lying on the bed, her face in pain, as if she was about to give birth to a baby. But what made Molin feel horrified was that there was a baby painted in the pregnant woman's belly, and there was actually a snake painted inside the baby!
Next image, the baby is born with a wicked smile on his face…
Behind this painting, there is actually a line of text! Mo Lin was extremely shocked when he saw a line of text.
"The snake demon needs to be reborn after hundreds of years!"
The meaning expressed by these nine words cannot be clearer. As we all know, no matter what kind of snake, it must shed its skin. Although the snake god has become enlightened, he still cannot avoid shedding. However, the way he sheds his skin cannot be the same as that of ordinary snakes. This Rebirth through rebirth is a way for him to shed his skin!
It seems that the villagers in the five villages in Snake Mountain are not all submissive. Some of them must want to completely eliminate the snake god, and this child who can write should be the most valuable victim they have focused on cultivating in the early years. The purpose is to destroy the snake god. Go inside the Snake Mountain and dig out the secrets of the Snake God, leaving them for future generations to find opportunities to defeat the Snake God.
It has to be said that this child did not let down the people of Snake Mountain. This news was of great help to Mo Lin. He put the whole thing together and understood everything. In the belly of Baijia Ding Fanglan was the snake god who was about to be reborn. .
When he found out that there was a snake in Ding Fanglan's belly, he felt strange. Based on the principle of not messing with unclear things, he went to Snake Mountain to investigate. Now that the matter was clear, Mo Lin felt a little worried.
The snake god could not recover his strength in a short period of time after being reborn in the belly of a pregnant woman, and he had no power to fight back when he was in the belly of a pregnant woman. If he had taken a chance at that time, he could have destroyed the snake god who had dominated Snake Mountain for a hundred years.
The snake god chose Ding Fanglan and killed her for the sake of his own safety. He knew that he was physically weak during this period of time, and rebirth through rebirth was not something that could be completed in three to five days, but in seven or eight days. It would take at least a month. Just enough time.
The fact that the snake god killed Ding Fanglan did not affect his rebirth. No matter whether the Bai family chose to be cremated or buried in the end, he would have a way to make a safe rebirth.
In fact, everything that happens now is under the control of this snake god. The Bai family plans to bury Bai Baocheng and Ding Fanglan together. The only variable is that Mo Lin reaches the depths of Snake Mountain and knows everything. As long as he If you can leave Snake Mountain alive, the snake god will definitely die.
Mo Lin wanted to understand this and was even more eager to go out. According to Zhou Qiang, the Snake God has been practicing for 1,700 years. He can call the wind and rain, scatter beans into forests, and is omnipotent. Only his hundred-year-old rebirth is the most vulnerable. If you miss this time, you will have to wait a hundred years to eliminate him again!
"Hiss!"
Suddenly, Mo Lin heard a terrifying voice and looked back, no
Who knows when countless venomous snakes with cockscombs crawled behind him!
This time, Mo Lin finally saw the real thing. He finally understood that the snake with the cockscomb on the mural was actually the cockscomb snake in ancient Chinese folklore!
The Cockscomb Snake, also known as the Vengeful Snake, is the most mysterious and highly venomous snake in ancient Chinese folklore. It has a fiery red comb on its head and different body colors. It is extremely fast and extremely poisonous. Anyone bitten will definitely die. It can stand upright. , it is said that they can also fly in the air, are more than one meter long, are a kind of snake with no legs and a red crown on its head.
Mo Lin had only read relevant information in books and folklore, but the information recorded was very limited. He only introduced the appearance of cockscomb snakes and that they mainly live in dark cemeteries or desolate death zones. He did not expect that he would be in this place today. Saw a cockscomb snake here.
At this time, cockscomb snakes continued to emerge from the cave at the back. Although the number was not as large as that of Zizhulin and Basheling, it was still more than Mo Lin could deal with alone.
