After seeing the entire mural, Song Xing already had some speculation in his mind about the snake worshiper's stone tablet.
In ancient times, perhaps among the snake worshipers, there were two gods worshiped, Quetzalcoatl and the mysterious ancient god behind the green tomb.
This has also led to the fact that the snake worshipers are actually divided into different camps.
The secret revealed by Quetzalcoatl through the Snake Girl was clearly used to deal with the ancient god behind the green tomb.
Song Xing looked at the huge mural in front of him, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that it was placed here by the snake worshipers to warn future generations, so that future generations would know the power of the secrets on the stone tablets and never try to mess with the stone tablets.
"Master Song, are we still going down?"
Fatty Wang and the others were a little frightened when they saw the content on the mural.
The murals seen along the way all tell the horror of the stone monuments. The closer you get to the temple, the more real the solemn and terrifying feeling becomes, as if some extremely terrifying monster is really suppressed in the temple.
Song Xing smiled: "Don't you want to know the secret that can scare people to death at just one glance?"
Fatty Wang's smile was a little forced: "Fatboy, although I am bold, I have never been very curious."
Hu Bayi was not as timid as Fatty Wang, but he did not reveal his curiosity about the temple. After all, he saw too many weird behaviors in this 10,000-meter-deep underground.
Like the Devonian relic from before, if Song Xing hadn't been alert, the group would have fallen directly there.
The intuition he had honed over the years of life and death made him feel that the greatest terror underground might be under this temple.
"In that case, just stay outside."
At this point, it is imperative to go underground in the temple. He came to the site of the snake worshipers just to find the ancient gods. In order to seize the divine power or curse power from the ancient gods, he can integrate it into his body and consume himself. The mark brought by Lishan Girl.
If he cannot accomplish this in this world, then when he leaves this world, what may be waiting for him will be endless terror.
So, he had no choice.
Seeing that Song Xing had made up his mind, Fatty Wang quickly changed his words and said, "Mr. Song, you underestimate me, Fatty. Let Commander Hu and Staff Yang stay here. Lao Sun and I will go down with you."
He believed that there might be endless crises below, so he took Professor Sun, who had always disliked him, with him, hoping to leave life to Hu and Yang.
Hu Bayi naturally knew Fatty Wang's kindness, but he did not accept his kindness. "Commander Wang, what are you talking about? Are we the only ones who are greedy for life and afraid of death? If Master Song wants to go down, then of course we will go down together."
He thought very clearly that with Song Xing's force, if there was anyone who was most likely to get out alive in this 10,000-meter abyss, it was him. If he wanted to get out of the abyss alive at this moment, he could only rely on Song Xing.
The temple is like a cave entrance, and the passage inside is blocked by huge rocks. It seems to prevent people from outside from entering, and it seems to prevent things inside from coming out.
The Nine Death Jingling Armor easily carved an entrance into the rock. The group passed through several layers of rock walls through the gap and entered a stone hall. The passage continued downward opposite the stone hall.
What everyone saw on the stone wall were strange reliefs of snake worshipers. Countless human figures in the reliefs were lined up in a queue, walking sideways, with their faces facing the same direction as the passage.
There are many clay pots piled on the ground, covered with black rock sand. Those clay pots break when touched, exposing the mummies sitting in them. There are also a large number of gold and jade vessels, many of which have simple patterns such as birds, turtles, cicadas and fish on the surface. .
Passing through the stone hall and walking into the passage, there is another hall similar to the previous one in the depth. Then go down a hundred steps through the passage, climb over several black rocks blocking the road, and enter the third-floor hall under the entrance of the temple.
The terrain sinks vertically, making it the deepest empty magma chamber in the heart of the mountain. A stone beam more than a hundred meters long can pass through it. A huge flat rock plate at the end stands on the wall, rectangular in shape, with a width and height of about tens of meters. The stone surface It is green, with mottled stone patterns, covered with cracks of varying depths, and strange beasts carved around it.
Song Xing took a deep breath and realized that the huge stone tablet that appeared in front of him was exactly what was shown in the snake worshiper mural, the snake worshiper stone tablet that could scare living people to death!
At this moment, no matter whether the rumors were true or false, even Song Xing no longer dared to look directly at the stone monument in front of him, and only looked at the vicinity of the stone monument with his peripheral vision.
The stele is a huge stone slab engraved with dragon seal characters. Each character is the size of a rice bucket. It is shaped like the traces of insects and fish, and is also different from the stele carried by Bixi in later generations.
It was carved from a flat boulder in the ground. Although it was decorated with animal-face reliefs, the original shape of the entire rock slab had not been modified, making it appear crude and crude.
Because the inscriptions are carved so deeply, they look like dense hollows from a distance. Time and dust have not covered them up. From their perspective, there is a suffocating sense of oppression.
"Since the mural says that the secrets on the stone tablets will kill you if you look at them, for the sake of conservatism, everyone should not stare at the stone tablets yet." Song Xing reminded.
In fact, needless to say, among the few people at this moment, even Professor Sun, who wanted to know the secret of the ancient stele the most, did not dare to look at the stele, for fear that someone would accidentally see the secret on the stele and go directly to see God.
Song Xing tightly suppressed his spiritual consciousness in his body, and even the five ghosts took it back, not daring to peek at the entire stone tablet from any angle.
The ancient gods worshiped by the snake worshipers are different from any Yanhuang gods he knows. They may be even more ancient, or even creatures that existed when the earth first opened, or some great existence of extraterrestrial civilization. In short, there are all kinds of weirdness , not careless at all.
The artificial light source that was originally suspended above his head was also infinitely compressed by him, forming an extremely small light source. After telling Hu Bayi and others not to raise their heads, he put aside all distracting thoughts, slowly raised his head, and let the light source Concentrated on a small area of the huge stone monument.
To be precise, it is the position of the first character in the upper left corner of the stone tablet.
Judging from the murals, the secrets that the snake worshipers heard from the snake girl were mastered by several snake worshiper kings, which means that knowing only part of the secret will not lead to death.
That's why Song Xing took courage and peeked at the first text on the stone tablet.
Song Xing looked at the Snake Worshiper's Stone Tablet with concern. After a while, he didn't notice anything unusual. It seemed that he expected it well, so he asked a few other people to look up as well.
According to Professor Sun's research on the dragon seal of the Xia Dynasty, the secret of snake worshipers is actually very simple, it is the arrangement and combination of nine ancient seal characters.
What they saw at this moment was the first character among the nine ancient seal characters, which did not trigger the secret of instant death on the stone tablet.
However, following the beam of light, the first row on the stele is filled with the same ancient seals. It is obvious that these nine characters are carved in countless lines on the stele, all over the entire stele. As long as you open your eyes around the stele, The complete nine-character ancient seal script can be seen from any angle.
Professor Sun is proficient in the dragon seal of the Xia Dynasty. When he saw this ancient seal with an ancient shape, it didn't take long to recognize that the characters were actually symbols representing numbers. In modern characters, they mean zero.
"Zero? Arabic numerals?" Song Xing looked at Professor Sun with some confusion.
Professor Sun explained: "Arabic numerals are my pronouns. They did not exist in ancient times, but they generally mean the same thing. They are some symbols that represent numbers."
"You mean, the secret that the snake worshiper has been chasing all his life, a secret that cannot be seen, remembered or even thought about, is just a set of numbers?" Song Xing felt a little incredible.
Professor Sun also expressed his confusion, but at the same time he expressed confidence in his knowledge. The first ancient seal he deciphered definitely meant zero, which is a symbol of nothingness in the ancient seal of snake worship.
In order to judge that he was correct, Professor Sun bravely illuminated the second handwriting for Song Xing. After deciphering, it turned out to be a nine-character symbol.
"Zero Nine. The ultimate secret that snake worshipers can kill all living creatures is a set of numbers?"
Song Xing also felt a little confused at this time. Is the end of the universe mathematics?
"Leave the stone monument first and see if there are any clues around."
The inexplicable sense of oppression on the stone tablet made Professor Sun and others feel extremely uncomfortable. Song Xing also noticed this, so he led everyone back.
However, just after they retreated far away, there was a sudden violent explosion sound from the stone monument. The stone monument, which was originally as big as a mountain, was shaken by the ground, and half of it suddenly collapsed and turned into countless broken rocks.
In the firelight, Professor Sun could clearly see that not far from the stone monument, there was a man wearing an ancient costume from the Warring States period and a bronze mask. Behind the mask, only a pair of lifeless, dead eyes were staring directly at him.
Professor Sun's expression changed and he blurted out: "Green grave!"
