Chapter 146 Three Ways of Life, Huangquan Road

In this way, the four of them embarked on the third gloomy road of bones.The ground suction hole is located at the bottom of a moving lake, the air is humid, and the dense bones covered on the ground have long since decayed, leaving only a bone shell. When stepped on by an external force, the wind blows driven by their bodies when they walk by, and the bones shatter. It didn't come out, and it was directly annihilated by flying ash, leaving a road of bone powder. The entire road of this bone road is paved with bones, and there is no place to stay. A few people can only bite the bullet and step on the bones.Before walking on the Road of White Bone, I took a quick look at human bones and animal bones, but now walking on the Road of White Bone, most of them are still human bones. By the shape of the bones, you can tell whether it is a skull or ribs, and you can tell which part of the human body it is. Animal bones are like spines. In molluscs, nearly a hundred vertebrae with similar structures are arranged and formed. The bone frame is not much different from that of a human. Long bone lines extend from both ends of each skeleton. The hundreds of vertebrae are connected together like a centipede with countless arthropods. , The scalp of the person watching it is numb.

The few people walked all the way, trampling on the bones of humans and animals all the way. The soil on the road of bones is soft, and when they step on it, a shallow footprint is sunk, as if they are stepping on the skin of a living person. The touch under their feet is extremely weird and disgusting. In two seconds, the ground calmed down again.This route has been paved with bones, so what happened before the bones?Isn't it just a road to the underworld of a corpse?In such a depressing environment, Yuezhou couldn't help but think wildly—there were craftsmen who were suffocated to death in the walls of the Yin Tomb before, I don't know if there are also in the walls here?If there is, then they are not only stepping on the bones of the corpse, but are surrounded by dead people all over their bodies!Not only under the feet, but also on the wall, maybe on the wall above the head, there are also countless white bones piled up on top of each other!

Gu Liangwei and Yuezhou walked in the front holding hands, Chen Qiushi and Gu Ran followed behind, they were extremely nervous, they couldn't control their eyes and looked around, fearing that a ghost would appear somewhere to seek their lives.I don't know, what is waiting for them in front of this gloomy road of bones?

A dozen people from the Golden Eagles came to the fork in the corridor, and they hesitated just like Gu Liangwei and the others just now. The dozen of them were twice as many as Gu Liangwei and the others. It was possible for a few of them to enter the three passages separately. Come on, it's life and death, and it's not a good idea to disperse people. Several members of the Golden Eagles checked carefully, and there were no footprints of Gu Liangwei and the others on the three roads.

Xie Chun looked at the three roads. The third road now has less bones than before, and the ground is covered with gray bone foam. She pondered slightly and said, "This third road looks the most sinister. Well, I'll go the third way."

Xie Chun wants to go the third way?Aihara immediately stared at her.He didn't know much about Xie Chun's organs in the tomb, and he just felt that Xie Chun would never take this seemingly most dangerous path with such kindness. Immediately, he also said: "It's just bones and dregs. It's not like I haven't seen it before. What's the matter?" I'm so scared, I'll take the third way too!" Xie Chun admired Aihara's courage, turned his face away, and frowned and said "Silent Kingdom" and "San Zi Jing".She would choose the third road because at the entrance of the third road, there is a small and inconspicuous letter s, which looks inconspicuous, but if the letter is dotted on the left and right, it is a gossip figure. is the logo of the review office.

Aihara and Xie Chun decided to take the third path, and the route of this group of Golden Eagles was determined, and a dozen people went to the third path.

Not long after everyone walked into the bifurcated passage, the jade sword pierced into the groove on the sapphire tomb door, and the hilt exposed at the outer end of the jade door suddenly broke with a 'click', and the giant sapphire stone door sank slowly, blocking it. Everyone returns.As Chen Qiushi said, there is only one way into the tomb, but it is not the way out.

This is a path of no return.

I don't know what's going on in the first two roads, but the third gloomy road of bones is full of goosebumps, making people feel goosebumps all over their bodies, especially when their clothes are still wet. It got colder and colder as we walked, and the blow made people stiff and shivering uncontrollably.The air was filled with the stench of rotting corpses. After smelling it for a long time, they felt dizzy. Several people had to wear windproof towels on the ground to block the wind and sand. The ground was covered with layers of white bones, and the walls The hieroglyphs with unknown meanings are engraved, and even Yuezhou can't understand them, so he can only guess what ancient characters of a small country it is.Along the way, after a rough calculation, they walked on the bones of nearly a thousand people on the surface layer, but everyone knew that this road was paved with bones, and the bones would never have only the surface layer. , I just don’t know how deep this road of bones is buried, and how many corpses are piled up!No wonder the wind is blowing, ghosts are crying and wolves are howling!

Affected by the magnetic poles of Death Valley, since they entered Death Valley, their watches and mobile phones are not easy to use. There is no way to watch the time. They can only perceive it by feeling. It took about two hours to walk for more than two hours. Bone Road, how many dead people will be buried here!Creepy just thinking about it!After walking for so long, several people are a little tired, but let them rest here, no one has such a strong mentality. They just hope to get out of this passage quickly, find a place to rest and eat something to replenish their energy. It's all cold, only the hand holding with Gu Liangwei is warm, probably because Gu Liangwei beside her is too calm, which affects Yuezhou invisibly, making Yuezhou not so afraid, in order to keep herself from thinking wildly, Youxin talked to Gu Liangwei, and asked her: "You said before that the three-forked road is the Three-Sheng Road. I have only heard of the Three-Sheng Stone. What do you mean by the Three-Sheng Road?"

"Three lives is the Buddhist saying of karma and reincarnation, which means past life, present life, and future life," Chen Qiushi explained on his behalf. Similarly, I read a book of ancient objects, which said that the road of three lives refers to the wealth and honor in the previous life, the smooth life in the present life, and the suffering in the next life.

"Then what we are walking is the road of suffering in the next life?" Yue Zhou looked down at the bones under his feet that were silently annihilated into dust. It sounded that the meaning of this road of suffering in the next life was extremely bad, and they chose this suffering Road, does it mean that the road ahead will be dangerous?When she heard Gu Liangwei mention the history of ancient objects, she asked her: "The history of ancient objects you mentioned, is it the one with the map of the Kunlun Mountains that you said was buried in the coffin of the royal mausoleum?"

"That's the one," Gu Liangwei looked at Yuezhou curiously. She couldn't remember when she mentioned this matter to Yuezhou, but Yuezhou remembered it very clearly. She didn't know that Yuezhou told her every word. I remember everything clearly.

"What kind of annals of antiquities is that?" Yuezhou felt strange and asked carefully.

"That ancient relics book was given to my great-grandfather by a soldier when he was a staff officer. It is said that his ancestors got it from a sacrificial coffin in a royal tomb in a small country in the Western Regions."

"Small country in the Western Regions?" Yue Zhou was thoughtful. Didn't the ancient Western Regions refer to Xinjiang?It is not far from where they are. No wonder there is a mountain map of Kunlun Mountain on it. The culture of the small ancient Western Regions is complicated, mixed with the shaman beliefs of the northern nomads, Taoism and Buddhist beliefs in the Central Plains, and there are many strange things. But since there are pictures of Sansheng Road and the Kunlun Mountains on it, it means that the contents recorded in the Antiquities Records are still very credible. Maybe there will be clues about the real Kunlun Mountains and the tomb of Disudong. She immediately asked Gu Liangwei However, Gu Liangwei showed a distressed look and said: "That ancient annals is too old, and I didn't flip through the pages before I got it in my hand. Later, I locked it in the mortise and tenon box and dared not move it. It's completely rotten. Do you think there are any clues about Kunlun Mountain? Except for the mountain map in a small corner. After all, it is only a small country. Lost."

Yuezhou was a little disappointed when he heard that, but there were too many small countries in the ancient Western Regions, so to speak of small countries, it is better to say they are tribes, because the tribes are too small, it is very common for one to be wiped out today and another to rise again tomorrow.

Everyone walked for a while, because the passageway was very dark, and after walking for a long time, no one sweated even though their backs were sore and their legs were weak. It took an estimated seven or eight hours to walk all the way. In order to save the power of the flashlight, the rest of them turned off the flashlight and only turned on With a barely illuminated light, there were tens of thousands of dead bones under their feet, and they finally walked out of this road of suffering in the afterlife. Seeing that the ground under their feet was not soft bones but flat ground, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly their bodies collapsed. Sitting on the stone floor, Gu Ran immediately complained: "What kind of suffering in the next life, is it going to exhaust us to death!"

At this time, the few people had time to catch their breath. Yuezhou drank some water and ate something to replenish her strength. She casually used a flashlight to shine on the passage ahead, and saw murals painted on both sides of the passage, rich in content and endless at a glance. , I know that although this road of suffering in the next life is uncomfortable, it is indeed not wrong.Yue Zhou breathed a sigh of relief, she was still afraid of hurting other people because of her wrong guess.Now, they should be considered to have officially entered the mausoleum, but they don't know who will be buried in the mausoleum that has gone through so much trouble?If it weren't for a coincidence, could someone really enter this mausoleum?Whether it is the way of moving the lake into the tomb, or the choice of Sansheng Road, those who can come here are really lucky.

A few people rested for a while, in order to prevent the Golden Eagles from catching up, they dragged on with tired steps. While walking, they looked at the large-scale murals above, and saw that the murals on the walls had no color, and only used the thickness of the lines to describe the plot , but the details are extraordinarily complicated, the appearance and clothing of the characters are slightly exaggerated, and the dynasty cannot be seen for a while, but the content of the painting is frightening.

The murals are located at a height of about one meter on the wall. People need to look up to see the whole picture. The paintings are easy to understand. While looking at the murals on the passage, Yuezhou explained to several people: "The painting on it is a prosperous at the beginning. Tribes, later because they were attacked by other tribes, the survivors of the tribe had a hard time living, and when it was cold, there was no food, so they began to eat their own tribe..."

The murals on the wall are clearly drawn. The strong members of the tribe divided the limbs of the elderly and children who had no resistance in the tribe, and took out their hearts and dedicated them to the leader of the tribe. Although the murals were colorless, Gu Ran felt that the murals were bloody. Yes, recalling the road of bones that he walked before, he felt nauseous and almost spit out the water he drank. Yuezhou continued: "Because eating the living people passed the most difficult time, this tribe later When they became stronger, they attacked other tribes, annexed other tribes and gradually became stronger, but their habit of eating the living people of the tribes did not change. They thought that eating the same kind would strengthen their own strength, but this also caused the children born later in the tribe to be affected. Cursed are ugly and sickly, life is short, so the tribe declined again."

"Cannibals have a high probability of suffering from diseases such as brain atrophy because they eat their own kind," Chen Qiushi interjected.

Yue Zhou nodded, looked at the mural in front, and continued to explain: "Later, this tribe attacked a small country, and the people in this small country are very strange, they are all..." Yue Zhou hesitated for a few seconds, and said: "Everyone It has the image of a human face and a snake body, and what is enshrined is also a giant snake." Recalling the vertebrae of those vertebrates seen on Huangquan Road before, Yue Zhou became somewhat clear.

A few people stopped in front of the mural, and Yue Zhou was right. The citizens of the small country painted on the murals all looked like human faces and snake bodies. The people on the murals had not been beautified. The eyes of the other clansmen are slightly larger and narrower, more like snake eyes, which is very uncoordinated, and the protruding abdomen has become a snake tail, which makes people feel very uncomfortable. It reminds Gu Liangwei of the deformed mermaids on the bottom of the North Sea. But ugly and repulsive.

Several people looked at each other, and finally Yue Zhou said: "However, in the past, the ancients worshiped nature, and many gods and gods coexisted with humans and animals. For example, Nuwa has a human face and a snake body. This is a typical reproductive worship. What has been exaggerated cannot be taken seriously.”

This is true, the matter of human face and animal body is too bizarre, and no one would take it seriously.

Gu Ran muttered in his heart: Human face and snake body?The mermaid I have seen before has a human face and a fish tail, so why is it impossible to have a human face and a snake body?But he saw that the faces of the others were normal, so he didn't think much about it.
