Chapter 512 The Stone Gate on the Bones(2/2)
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
"What's wrong with you?" Zuan came to her and asked with concern.
"There..." Pei Mianman hurriedly pointed to the side,
Zuan looked in the direction of her finger and found a skeleton bone kneeling on one step.
This skeleton is extremely tall and mighty. Even if she is kneeling there on one knee, she still has an inexplicable aura.
"Is this also the victim of that year?" Pei Mianman thought of the bones in the previous giant pit.
"It shouldn't be," Zuan shook his head and pointed to the bone and said, "Look at it, it holds a long spear in its hands and is powerful. It should be a strong warrior during his lifetime. At the same time, he is peaceful and has no scars on his body. He must have been voluntarily guarding here, but he doesn't know whether it was buried alive or turned into bones after his death."
"There's the other side...there's the other side!" Pei Mianman said in panic at the pillars.
Zuan walked over to check it, and his back felt cold. He originally thought that the lines under the pillars were carved patterns, but now he got closer and saw clearly that each large pillar was tamped on a corpse.
If it weren't for the disrepair here, which caused damage to many places and exposed some traces, they might not have found that the corpse was built under the pillar.
Zuan felt aroused, and he suddenly remembered that he seemed to have seen similar patterns under the huge stone gate just now. He hurried over to check it out. Sure enough, the entire gate was built on many white bones.
He counted it briefly and saw fifteen bones, and countless buried underground.
"The people who built this place must be very cruel." Pei Mianman came to Zuan's side, his body trembling slightly.
In fact, although she looks like she is smiling, she is also the one who is determined to kill and decides in her bones. However, she still feels chill when she sees the place that is like a crowded place and the houses here are built on the bones.
Zuan said in a deep voice: "Maybe this is their culture and customs. I know that an ancient country uses people to sacrifice, and I think this can express their highest respect to God."
After watching the documentary "Yinxu" in his previous life, he certainly knew that the Shang Dynasty loved to use human sacrifices. This secret realm is also called "Yinxu". Although he didn't know if the two were the same, there must be similar connections.
"But these people are so innocent, who would want to be used by the rulers to worship the heavens like animals?" Pei Mianman looked at the pillars and the twisted bones under the stone gate, and couldn't help feeling pity.
Zuan said: "These should be all captives of the defeated war. In that era, becoming captives would have destined their miserable fate."
Pei Mianman bit her lip: "Let's find another way, it looks uncomfortable here."
Zuan nodded, there was indeed strangeness everywhere here.
The two searched aside, and Pei Mianman suddenly stopped and grabbed him: "Be careful!"
Zuan was stunned and noticed that there was a bottomless cliff not far ahead. The dark appearance looked like a sleeping giant beast. He felt a little nervous when he looked at it for a while.
Pei Mianman picked up a stone next to him and threw it down, but he never heard an echo. The two of them were shocked. Either the cliff was too deep and the sound of the stone falling to the ground could not be heard back at all, or there were space cracks below.
No matter which one it is, it is obviously not a wise choice to fall down.
The two of them quickly turned around and looked in the other direction. After a while, they couldn't help but feel depressed to find that there was a cliff there, and there was an endless abyss below.
They finally understood which road they were going all the way forward was supposed to be a hanging bridge, but they didn't see the surroundings clearly because there was a rich blue fog everywhere.
Thinking of this, the two of them were very grateful. They were so scared away by Taotie just now that they didn't step into the air. If they fell down this time, they wouldn't be as lucky as they did in the last giant pit.
Pei Mianman was a little puzzled: "If the bottom is bottomless, then where we just came, and where the big stone gate in front is located, what is below? It can't be floating, right?"
"Floating?" Zuan said in a deep voice, "It's not impossible. You must know that this is a secret realm descended by a meteorite outside the sky. We may still be in that strange stone tablet. The space law inside is likely to be different from the outside world."
"I didn't expect that I finally got rid of the mosquito Taoist, but I was trapped here again. Now I just want to go out." He complained.
Pei Mianman, who was standing beside him, looked at him with a smile: "I think it's good to be here."
After going out, I still have a headache and tell Chu Yan, and there are also troubles in the family. If I can live with Zuan here, it would be a pleasure to go there.
At this time, there were waves of "whimpering" sounds from afar. Her face changed. Only then did she think of Taotie and the white bones, and she couldn't help but give up the idea of staying here.
"Let's go back to the gate first!" Zuan hurriedly pulled Pei Mianman back. If he went forward, he would meet the Taotie who had caught up with him. If he had a way to go in, he might escape the disaster. Even if he couldn't get in, the two of them could still defend themselves in danger and not be surrounded by Taotie and were attacked from both sides.
Pei Mianman obviously thought about the pros and cons, and without hesitation, the two quickly returned to the stone gate, and how could the researchers open the door.
But they didn't notice that a red light flashed in the bare eyes of the skeleton warrior kneeling on the stone steps next to him.
