Ancient Sword II: The Tracking of the Fierce Mountain

Chapter 56: Murals

On the deep black rock, purple liquid scattered like blooming flowers, rendering the entire painting.I don't know when, his hands were stained with a little purple, and he put them in front of his eyes for a closer look, and then he clenched his teeth angrily: "Idiot!"

None of those beauty spiders survived. Thinking of the unguarded mountain road, the visitor couldn't help kicking the coffin hard, making a muffled "boom".

"You idiot who wants to make trouble!"

**********

The corridor is still decorated with ever-burning lamps, and under the rustling torches, there are extremely gorgeous murals covering all the stone walls.

Red flowers and green trees, surrounded by white smoke, and between the bright yellow mountain roads, there is a neat line of vertical lines, ranging from three to five, lined up neatly.Each pair is connected by two lush green bamboos. The two people in the front and back are carrying bamboo poles, and some of them are dressed in white clothes and white gauze masks, with their arms resting on the bamboo poles. The action bounced.It was a corpse exorcist from Xiangxi, heading towards the mountains.

Behind several towering peaks is a place where hundreds of flowers are in full bloom, and above the red flowers, there are various insects and ants, not centipedes and scorpions, just looking at the colorful, brightly colored and terrifying insects in the painting, It makes people feel that the toxin of this bug is definitely above other poisons.

Just like the previous picture of exorcising corpses, which is several meters long, this picture of witches and Gus is also endless, but among the Gu insects of various shapes, there are also several human figures, sitting or standing, and the faces are not carefully described. It's just that the pair of red pupils are a common feature, they are Gu women in Xiangxi, people who raise Gu insects, and they are also the most taboo type of people in Xiangxi.

After the Gu worm, the mountains and plains were completely gone, and the prominent dark brown sand grains indicated that this mural was about an underground cave.

Like drainage pipes, countless caves are filled with the murals that follow, and under the countless vertical caves, there is a woman in a red wedding dress. They are sitting or lying down, and their movements are different. Around them, there are also depictions of burly men wearing masks, who are topless and close to the bodies of various women.Those are the cave girl and the cave god. Xiangxi people firmly believe in the legend of the cave, and also firmly believe that there are mountain gods in every cave. Once she marries the cave god, this woman will be cut off from the mortal world.

It is not an exaggeration to say that these murals depict the culture and history of Xiangxi. In addition to driving corpses and Gu insects, there are also many unknown stories.What attracted the attention of the four people was a mural of curing the plague.

The mural first painted the rotting corpses in the abandoned wilderness. There was no burial or cremation. The abandoned corpses in the wilderness seemed to be the only way of burial at that time.It's just that there are countless resentful undead hovering on the rotting corpses. They floated back to the residence of their descendants full of hatred, and wherever they went, there was a place where the plague was rampant.

The arrival of the undead led to more deaths. The mourning and devastation could not appease their hatred, and a proper burial could not allow them to return to the underworld. As the death on the murals continued to spread, people were helpless until the death of a priest arrival.

The priest who came from afar was dressed in colorful rays of light. He led the remaining Xiangxi people to find a cave and asked them to bury the coffins in the cave. As the coffins entered the cave, the undead dissipated their hatred and disappeared. gone.

With the implementation of cliff cave burial, the undead were appeased and the plague was suppressed, and the priest was also enshrined by Xiangxi people as a god.

If it was just an ordinary priest, it would naturally not attract the attention of Shen Ye and the others, but wherever the priest passed, there were green branches spreading, and how could they misread the familiar Liuyue City pattern.

"Could it be that he is that priest?" Xie Yi pointed out that if the priest of Liuyue City had saved a tribe, then he could be buried in the tombs as an outsider, so it would be reasonable .

Shen Ye was noncommittal: "Maybe."

The four of them moved forward again. It was still a very gorgeous mural, but this time before they had time to appreciate it, everyone was attracted by the bones under the mural.

They were two corpses with their heads pressed against each other, with their backs leaning against the rock wall. They were dressed in finely crafted mountaineering suits that hadn't worn out, and with their short hair, it could be seen that they were modern people, but the appearance of the corpses was not like that at all. Died recently.

Dark black, like two corpses soaked in ink, the face, neck, arms, from lips to nails, are all horrible dark black, but the black hair is the opposite of usual, it is like snowflakes A color that is too white, so white that there is no trace of impurities.

The two corpses fell asleep on their feet. If it weren't for the black body that looked like a ghost, it would be misunderstood as that they were resting.

Le Wuyi asked uncertainly: "Zombie?" This one still looks like a corpse, so it should be considered a zombie, right?However, the bodies of these two men are not stiff at present, and it seems that they have not been dead for a long time. It seems inappropriate to say that they are "zombies".

Xia Yi was concerned about another matter: "Why are they here?" Looking in the direction he came and went, the door had disappeared, and the passage to the wall hole had been destroyed. Going to it is equivalent to a dead end, so why did these two people fall here?

Is it a whim?Naturally impossible, then, just passing by?But what killed them?

Xie Yi looked at the corpses in front of him and frowned: "There are no wounds..." Although the two corpses had turned black, their coats were not damaged in any way.

No wounds were visible on the body, and there was no blood on the coat. There was almost no mess on the two of them, as if they were just asleep.So how did they die?

Le Wuyi scratched his head: "Maybe you can find out if you untie your clothes?"

Although they were somewhat disrespectful to the deceased, the four of them still had a way to go. It was better to be on guard against unknown dangers as soon as possible.

Faced with Le Wuyi's proposal, it was rare for Shen Ye to have any objections this time.It is not advisable to directly touch the blackened corpse, so Shen Ye just stretched out his hand, and with a flash of the knife in his hand, the originally intact mountaineering suit was split into countless rags and scattered in an instant.

The naked body of the deceased was also black as expected, but these two men, who looked no different from poisonous men, didn't even have a single scar on their bodies.While some old scars are clearly visible, none of them are fresh.

Xie Yi leaned down slightly to check, but Nai He still had no clue: "It's indeed old wounds, it doesn't seem to be a fake."

Shen Ye withdrew his long sword, and put the weapon back into his sleeve with a reversal: "If you can't find it, forget it. Just be careful on the road below."

Hearing this, Xie Yi sighed, it would be great if Tong was here, he has always been good at these things.

At the moment when Xie Yi raised his head, his eyes skipped those white hairs, and then he paused, did something move under the white hairs just now?

The author has something to say: The collection is almost 100, so let’s sprinkle some flowers first *★,°*:.☆(￣▽￣)/$:*.°★*.

In other words, if it is only about [-] words, can everyone accept it?Wait a minute, why do I feel like I can’t write five hundred words (⊙﹏⊙)
