Peng Jinsheng was talking nonchalantly, opening his mouth as if he was possessed by evil spirits, which frightened a group of people into a state of shock. They almost knelt down and kowtowed and called him a living god.
"Immeasurable Heavenly Lord, don't panic, benefactor. I will give these life-saving charms to a few of you for ten yuan each. Don't take any more!"
Peng Jinshuang flicked his fly whisk, showing an awe-inspiring attitude of rescuing people in distress. There were actually a few timid people who took out the notes in their arms.
The sensible people next to him were livid with anger, and their eyes were filled with fire when they looked at Peng Jinsheng.
How old is this old naughty guy from Te Niang that he still has the heart to sell his ghost painting talismans.
It wasn't until Hong Laojiu grabbed him by the collar that he was about to have a fit. This ghostly fake Taoist priest quickly pulled his apprentice Liang Qiusheng and hid behind Huo Yuanshan, his eyes focused on the tickets he had just collected.
Mr. Li was not in the mood to listen to the magician's nonsense. He looked around, and his attention finally rested on the quaint and weird black building in the distance.
Whoosh!
Another flare was fired, and only then did everyone see the true face of the building.
It was a huge inverted trapezoidal pyramid building made of dark stones, over a hundred meters high. Against the backdrop of the strange rocks, it looked like a giant beast from ancient times, lying in wait for its prey that was about to be caught.
Click! Click!
Everyone stepped on the stone path full of broken bones. Broken bones and bodies were everywhere, like a group of lambs waiting to be slaughtered, walking into the mouth of a giant beast.
Bone smoke lingered under my feet, and those who didn't know thought I was walking on Tianguanyun Road.
As he got closer and closer, there were more and more broken bones under his feet. The weathered ashes are almost piled on top of each other, mixed with lime, mud and stone, and piled up like a desert.
From time to time, you can see some broken armor, rusted weapons, and unknown animal remains.
"Looks like we're not the first ones here."
Among the remaining skeletons, you can see armor styles from different periods, and the time span exceeds everyone's imagination.
Mr. Li even saw traces of the Xia and Shang dynasties in a pile of bronze fragments.
At different times, this place has been the scene of one war after another.
Why were we fighting, how many people died, and who was the enemy?
What kind of place would make the rulers of so many dynasties not hesitate to fight with heavy troops.
I'm afraid everyone doesn't have the answer, but it is undeniable that this is an unusual place.
"look!"
Someone picked up a submachine gun on the ground, and the gun body was already rusty. Not far away there was a worn-out military helmet.
There is a shriveled head under the helmet, and the body has long since disappeared.
What makes people's heart palpitate is that there is a large hole as thick as an adult's arm on the top of the helmet, which directly penetrates the skull below.
"It seems that the Nazis also came to this place and encountered a fierce battle!" Huo Yuanshan said in a low voice and gave his men a look.
The sound of pulling bolts sounded, which was particularly harsh in the silent darkness.
"Looking at the wound, it doesn't look like it was man-made." Chu Yuxuan pulled the helmet with his foot, and the shriveled skull inside rolled out, revealing the wound on it.
"The wound was pierced by a foreign object, which directly sucked out the brain marrow."
"It's not sucking it dry, it's corroding it." Grandpa picked up the skull on the ground and said without hesitation, "The bones inside have been corroded away."
Looking at the black hole on his skull, the first thing that flashed through Mr. Li's mind was the strange creature he encountered when he came here.
If it really happened, the consequences would be unimaginable.
In a place like this, they are just living targets with nowhere to hide.
As the crowd approached step by step, the surroundings became more and more silent, with only the faint sound of footsteps echoing in their ears.
There was a rustling sound underfoot, but strangely, when we arrived less than ten meters away from the pyramid, all the broken bones and ashes disappeared, and the original black color was revealed on the ground.
In front of the black building is a long stone staircase, with black guard stone statues more than three meters high standing symmetrically on both sides.
The stone statue guard knelt on one knee, wearing armor, his left hand hanging down, his right hand across his chest, holding a knife-like weapon in his hand.
The eyes of every stone statue are staring directly at the stone steps. No matter which angle you look at, you can see the eyes of the stone statues staring at you, as if countless smart eyes are scanning your body. That feeling. It really makes people feel uncomfortable from the bottom of their hearts.
"These guards are somewhat unique. It's impossible to tell which dynasty or generation they are dressed in," Huo Yuanshan said.
"There are some shadows of Xia and Shang, and there is also some barbarian style, and it also contains another style. But the craftsmanship of armor and weapons is far beyond the level of Xia and Shang civilization, and even cannot be compared with later generations." Peng Jinsheng is rare. showed his true colors.
"Perhaps, we have discovered a brand new civilization." Chu Yuxuan was a little excited, "A heritage that has never been known to anyone!"
"Or maybe it's the origin." Grandpa said calmly.
"What the hell!" Hong Laojiu patted the stone statue, "You think this thing is our ancestor?"
"No matter what, today's discovery is enough to overturn history." There was no expression on Xu Zixue's face.
"I think...these stone statues are more like slaves than guards." Mr. Li walked around the stone statues, pointed at the stone statues and said, "Look, although the stone statues have weapons, their feet are chained The thick anklets and the spiked iron hoop around the neck are not what a guard should have, but more like a captive who has been domesticated to protect his master." 49 e-book
"They are not completely trusted!" Mr. Li was very sure. "The status of such people is not much higher than that of ordinary slaves."
"I've been talking about it for a long time, it's just a watchdog! You still want to be my ancestor, bah!" Hong Laojiu cursed and stepped onto the stone steps.
The stone steps are five meters wide and lead directly to the middle of the black building. Looking from a distance, in the light and shadow of the flashlight, you can vaguely see many relief patterns on the stone walls of the building.
At the end of the stairs is a platform, with two strange-looking stone beasts standing on the left and right sides of the platform.
In the center of the platform is an altar that is three to four meters square. On the platform is a huge stone basin with a diameter of nearly three meters.
When everyone got closer, they discovered that there were many patterns carved on the outside of the stone basin. The inner wall of the basin was dark, as if it had been burned by fire, and there was a pile of black things on the bottom of the basin.
"Damn it, this old guy is really big." Hong Laojiu patted the edge of the stone basin, but unexpectedly, black ash stuck to his hand, "Hey? Why is this ash..."
Huo Yuanshan wiped a little with his fingers, twisted it in his hands, and then winked at one of his subordinates.
The man nodded and dug directly into the stone basin, pulled out the shovel and dug a few times into the pile of black things at the bottom.
"Master, it's human oil."
"What!" Everyone was shocked.
Huo Yuanshan's men picked out some things from it, then turned them out and handed them to Huo Yuanshan.
Mr. Li was close enough to see clearly what was in the man's hand.
It was half a blackened and carbonized human skull, with a few teeth stuck on it.
He took a step back and looked carefully at the relief on the stone basin, and was surprised.
Engraved on it was actually a sacrifice.
In the relief, several slave-like people are tied up and thrown into a stone basin, with a raging fire burning inside.
This thing is actually used to burn living people!
Looking at the thick pile of things at the bottom of the basin, Mr. Li couldn't help feeling a little chilly.
What kind of hell is this place, where people are burned for sacrifice?
Thinking in his mind, Mr. Li looked at the two beast statues on the left and right of the stone basin.
These two statues are much taller than the stone statues below. They are completely black and each one has a sinister look. They are not good things at first glance.
The back of the head is bulging, and it seems to have a strange human face on it, which is very strange.
Its lower jaw is pointed and long, and its mouth is full of sharp teeth. Its two half-raised arms are covered with hard armor similar to insect shells, with fine barbs growing on them.
It only has four fingers, but each finger is two or three times as long as an adult's finger. There are sharp claws on the fingertips. Although they are made of stone, you can still feel the sharpness of the claws.
It has two pairs of lower limbs, which are well developed and powerful. A barbed tail rose from behind, as if it would stab the prey's vitals in the next second.
Its whole body seems to be wrapped in an exoskeleton similar to that of an arthropod. It is difficult to find its weak points at a glance, especially the lethal giant tail on its body, which is very shocking.
If there really is such a monster in this world, it will definitely be a terrible disaster.
Looking at the two ferocious monster stone statues, Mr. Li's heart suddenly sank.
This thing is not unfamiliar to them at all!
Back on the mountain pass, the monsters that looked like meat grinders caused them a lot of losses.
But now, the same thing appeared on the stone statue in front of him, but it looked a little different from the previous mantis monster.
The monster in front of him has no wings, but it is more ferocious.
"this……"
Several people in the crowd cried out in surprise. Everyone knew that this thing might be more than just a stone statue.
Two monsters stood on each other's left and right in front of the stone door, like two evil gods, capable of tearing the intruder into pieces at any time.
In the middle of the monster, there are two huge stone doors, five or six meters high, with many strange patterns and symbols embossed on them.
"These patterns are very regular and seem to be some kind of writing." Chu Yuxuan said.
"Indeed..." Peng Jinsheng smacked his lips, stroking his goatee and approached the stone door, "Qiu Sheng, come here."
Liang Qiusheng responded and walked to the stone door obediently. His eyes scanned the characters on the stone door and he was a little stunned.
"Master, these words..."
Liang Qiusheng groped around on his body and pulled out a jade plaque from his neck.
The jade plaque had been worn on Liang Qiusheng for a long time. It was deep emerald green and as transparent as gelatin. It had a strange human-shaped pattern engraved on the front and several characters on the back.
Liang Qiusheng compared the writing on the back of the jade plaque with the writing on the stone gate, and said with some excitement: "Master, the characters on this stone gate are so similar to the ones on my jade plaque!"
Peng Jinsheng's eyebrows jumped, and a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes. He glanced around at the people around him, reached out and pressed Liang Qiusheng's hand, stuffed the jade card game into his collar, and then slapped Liang Qiusheng hard on the back of the head. Said: "Unscrupulous Heavenly Lord, silly boy, maybe the mystery of your life experience can be solved here!"
