Ye Junze was the first to walk into the cave, walking carefully inside the cave and looking at the place.
With the sunlight coming in from outside, I could still see the nearby scenes clearly, but when I looked further into the distance, it was completely dark and I couldn't see anything clearly.
As Ye Junze's thoughts moved, he was about to take out the previously purchased searchlight from the storage instrument when Tu Shantan also stepped forward.
"It's so dark."
Tu Shantan said this and waved her hand gently. In the blink of an eye, an antique lamp like a kerosene lamp appeared in her hand.
However, there is no kerosene lamp wick inside this lamp. Instead, there is a round bead slowly rotating around and around inside the lamp.
Tu Shantan's slender fingertips touched the lamp lightly, and in just an instant, the bead burst out with a burst of soft and bright light, which seemed to bring some warmth to this dark and cold cave.
The light in the lamp also dispelled the darkness in front of them, allowing the two of them to see the scene in the cave more clearly. They could even see the dark places that were a little further away before. Clearly.
When Ye Junze saw that the lamp that Tu Shantan brought out had such a magical effect, he couldn't help but admire it and looked very emotional.
At the same time, Ye Junze's right hand, which had just touched the storage artifact, silently took it back. His face was calm, as if nothing had happened.
Others have brought out such powerful things, so it’s better not to bring out the searchlight and embarrass yourself. And to be honest, if I just bought that searchlight myself, the lighting effect would probably not be one thousandth of that of the lamp in Tushan Tanshou...
Can't compare, can't compare.
After all, one is an ordinary utensil bought with money, and the other is a magic weapon made of unknown special materials. How can they be compared?
With the light of the lamp in Tu Shantan's hand, Ye Junze also used all his eyes to scan and explore into the distance.
It was at this time that Ye Junze completely saw clearly the scene inside the cave where the two of them were now.
The space inside this cave is very huge, and it is also very open. There is a long tunnel in front of it. Through the light, you can see that the tunnel leads to a very far place, but you don't know exactly where it leads.
If he hadn't been in this place in person, Ye Junze would never have believed that there was such a large space behind the mountain wall just now. It could really be said that it was a completely different world.
Ye Junze raised his head and looked over, and found that there were rugged stone walls on both sides of the cave, and he didn't see anything special.
Tu Shantan withdrew his gaze, turned to look at Ye Junze, and said, "Well... I don't seem to have found anything here. Let's go deeper and see if there is anything special. ?”
Hearing this, Ye Junze also withdrew his gaze, nodded slightly, and responded with a smile: "Okay, I think so too."
Tu Shantan nodded lightly, smiled slightly and said, "Let's go then."
As she spoke, Tu Shantan suddenly let go, and the lamp in her hand miraculously floated in the air, hovering steadily above their heads.
Seeing this, Ye Junze took a deep breath and resisted the urge to crush the searchlight he bought.
Seeing Tu Shantan walking forward first, Ye Junze stopped thinking about it, shook his head gently, and quickly followed Tu Shantan's footsteps, and the two of them walked towards the depths of the cave.
At first, because he was worried about what dangers there would be after the cave entrance was opened, Ye Junze took the lead. But since no danger was found after entering the cave, and according to the current situation, it was unlikely that any accident would happen in the near future, so the two of them walked side by side.
However, they were only slightly relieved.
Some of them are still vigilant.
The two of them just walked along the tunnel, going deeper into the cave. Not only that, while walking on the road, Ye Junze and Tu Shantan were also carefully observing the things around them, trying to find some clues that might exist here.
But unfortunately, the scenery here is the same, except for the rugged stone walls and bare rocks, there is nothing on them.
The ancient lamp emitting bright light was suspended in the air, floating in front of the two people, bringing light to the cave and illuminating the road ahead for them.
As the two of them went deeper, Ye Junze and Tu Shantan came to a long and slender corridor. The stone walls on both sides of the corridor are no longer as rugged as before, but are very smooth and flat.
Seeing this, Ye Junze and Tu Shantan couldn't help but stop and take a look. After all, the rock walls along the way were rugged and pitted, and now they suddenly saw such a smooth and flat rock wall. If there was no problem, they wouldn't believe it.
As the saying goes, when things go wrong, there must be a monster.
The ancient lamp shone with goose-yellow light and floated high, making it easier for Ye Junze and Tu Shantan to view the stone wall more clearly.
The two of them raised their heads and looked at the stone walls here, one on the left and the other on the right. Suddenly, Tu Shantan's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he saw something, "Look here."
When Ye Junze heard this, he quickly turned his head and looked towards Tu Shantan.
Looking in the direction of Tu Shantan's finger, Ye Junze soon saw a picture that seemed to be carved on the stone wall. The content on the picture made Ye Junze feel familiar for some reason.
etc.
Ye Junze thought about it carefully. Isn't the content on this picture the same picture that appeared in front of him when he touched the scratches with his hands outside?
At this time, Tu Shantan also seemed to have discovered something. He let out a light sigh, turned to look at Ye Junze, and asked doubtfully: "Are the things painted on this similar to the ones you saw before?"
When Ye Junze heard what Tu Shantan said, he nodded slightly and responded: "Yes, I was just about to say that."
"It's strange, why are there still the scenes you saw here?" Tu Shantan looked curious, and his face seemed to be full of doubts. Soon, Tu Shantan shook his head again and said: "I am now more inclined to your previous statement, that is, someone specifically recorded the things here."
Ye Junze smiled, shook his head slightly, and said, "This is just a guess on my part. The specific situation still needs further verification."
"That's true." Tu Shantan nodded lightly, and did not refute Ye Junze's statement. Instead, he changed his mind and said, "Then let's take another look. There seem to be quite a few murals like this in this place."
As Tu Shantan spoke, he pointed to another place and shouted, "Look, there's a picture over here too!"
Ye Junze turned his head and looked over, and sure enough he saw a new mural. The content on this mural was also what Ye Junze had seen in a trance before. It was the scene of the massive army charging forward.
As Ye Junze frowned and thought, his eyes kept scanning, looking for other murals.
Soon, he and Tu Shantan discovered other new murals. These murals are all connected together and carved on the left and right sides of the corridor.
The two of them observed these murals together, both of them silent. For a moment, the entire corridor fell into the same silence as before.
After looking at these few murals, Ye Junze and Tu Shantan's eyes both shone with light, and they both looked thoughtful.
Tu Shantan crossed his chest with both hands, put one hand on his face, and gently rubbed his chin with his fingers.
Tu Shantan was thinking silently, as if he had thought of something.
After a long absence, he said: "Looking at it like this, these murals seem to record a story?"
Hearing this, Ye Junze nodded slightly and said with a smile: "I think so too. Based on the content depicted on these murals, I can probably piece together what the story is about."
Yawenba
Tu Shantan chuckled, nodded and said, "Then let me tell it and see if the story we thought of through the mural is the same."
Saying that, Tu Shantan seemed worried that Ye Junze would question her, and continued to explain for him: "I am still good at telling stories. When Xiaoyi couldn't sleep at night, I would tell her stories to comfort her when she was young. Asleep."
Hearing this, Ye Junze nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Okay, then it's better to be respectful than to obey. I'm all ears."
Tu Shantan waved his hand gently, with a faint smile on his lips, and said, "It's not that exaggerated. There's no need to tease me like this."
After saying that, without waiting for Ye Junze to say anything else, Tu Shantan began to tell the story she thought of after reading the content displayed on the mural and adding her own understanding.
"These murals should record a story about the war."
"There were many people participating in this war, and judging from the clothes of those people in the painting, it should have happened a long time ago. In that war, countless monks and ordinary humans participated in the war. And the purpose of their fighting It seems that because the home they depended on for survival was invaded, those people had to stand up and fight against the invading enemies in order to protect their home."
"As for their enemies, they should be those clouds of black mist depicted on the murals. But what I can't figure out is whether these black mist are the true appearance of those enemies at that time, or whether they are the people recorded here. I deliberately obscured the existence of those enemies and simply replaced them with black mist. Of course, I personally prefer the latter."
Hearing this, Ye Junze nodded slightly and responded: "I am also more inclined to think that black mist is just a symbol, specifically used to refer to those enemies. As for why black mist is used to refer to it, we are not the parties after all, so It’s unknown.”
"Well, that's right." Tu Shantan nodded lightly, with a smile on his face, as if he was happy that Ye Junze agreed with her statement. Immediately afterwards, Tu Shantan continued: "The final result of that war should be that the human side won. However, the results were quite tragic. Not even one out of ten people who participated in the battle was left alive. The earth was littered with corpses. There is blood and bones everywhere. It can be said that the victory of that war was achieved by heaping lives one by one."
Tu Shantan paused for a while, and then continued: "Speaking of this, this story has come to an end. And this also leads to another guess of mine, that is, the murals here are from that war. It was left behind by those who witnessed it. He recorded what happened in the past in the form of murals to tell those who came after him what had happened."
After Tu Shantan finished speaking, he looked at Ye Junze, with a bright light in his eyes, and said with a chuckle: "How about it, do we both think of the same story?"
Ye Junze couldn't help but smile, nodded and said: "Generally, what comes to mind is the same. Your storytelling skills are indeed very good, I admire you."
After saying that, Ye Junze gave a thumbs up and praised Tu Shantan.
Hearing this, Tu Shantan's pretty face couldn't help but glow with two red clouds. She shook her head slightly, just smiled, and said nothing more.
