Chapter 9 The end point of the mark

I quickly pulled the fat man away and turned to look at Wen Jin. She and a guy were busy uncovering the equipment sent off from the rope ladder, but did not notice the fat man's actions.

I asked the guy: "What are you doing when you come down? Don't you take care of my third uncle?"

He grinned and said, "The Third Master is someone to take care of me, I'll come down and see if I can help."

I saw his expression, and I felt something was wrong. I thought it was not good. This group of turtles was a group of mobs. What the mobs were best at was that they would scatter birds and beasts in danger, and if they were beneficial, they would rebel. This guy seemed to have some intentions in his expression.

Soon, three more people climbed down and looked at the huge circular tomb chamber. Fire broke out in their eyes. Uncle San lied to them before leaving, saying that they were so fat here. He was scared all the time, but when he saw the tomb chamber, he forgot everything. Although they were all novice robbers, tomb robbers were tomb robbers, and they were even more greedy for ancient tombs than us. Wen Jin climbed down from the rope ladder and saw this situation, and said softly to me: "Let them go, these people are all desperate people. They are just polite to 'Your Third Uncle', and they are only polite to property. They all have weapons. It is very unfavorable to us to have a fall with them. Anyway, if you have something to touch, give it to them, and we can't stop them now."

When I thought about it, it was true that Uncle San is unable to move now. Even if he could intimidate these people, there was no way. I, a little third master, didn’t feel respect when I screamed in these people. It was completely a joke and couldn’t do anything to them. Thinking about the past glory in Changsha, it was indeed a blessing from my Uncle San.

I feel a little depressed, but we are controlled by others. I have a feeling that these people may ruin our big things.

The fat man was very sensitive to these things and was already nervous. He held the hunting rifle in his hand tightly and winked at us, let us go faster and get rid of them.

There are so many dangers all the way, but in the end I found that the biggest threat actually came from my own people. This is really ironic. And it would be fine if these people wanted money. If they were not too dark, they might even take our lives. For them, they would never have been rich in this life. No morality or accumulation of virtue is nonsense. This is really a huge worry.

The oil bottle also brought the equipment and went down the rope ladder. We ignored those people and began to grop and walk forward. The "non-shaped" corridor soon came to the end. A cave appeared in front of us. There was a staircase at the end of the corridor, which hovered down along the wall of the cave.

There are not enough mine lamps here. Uncle San and his team have a lot of spare equipment, so the fat man immediately started a flare.

Uncle San equipped several types of flares. The fat man used low-altitude flares, which were specially used in the cave. The range was not far. The fireball soon bloomed into the darkness and the cave was shining brightly. The fat man hit two more shots, illuminating the dead corners around him. This was a bit extravagant, but we had never been equipped so adequately. Anyway, it was at the last moment, so it was not useless.

The fat man threw down the shell and had to load a bullet and hit it. Wen Jin held him down: "No matter how thick the family is, it is not what you use, and it is already bright enough. If it is bright, it will be invisible. Be careful to burn our eyes."

The fat man gave up. We waited for the flashest stage to pass, and the light contracted, and the surrounding situations became clearly visible.

This is indeed the deepest place at the bottom of Tamutuo. The cave was not formed naturally, but was dug out. It was also very high on it. It could not be seen clearly at the top of the cave, but you could see that the cave was built into a first-level and first-level like a seat in a stadium. Each level was full of black bloated statues, densely packed, round after circle, and none of them were empty.

Because these statues are black, they still cannot see the details clearly. I feel that I have never seen them here. Are they secret statues or totems unique to the royal family that outsiders cannot see and possess?

I remembered the corpse hiding pavilion in Yunding Heavenly Palace. The same pattern was true. I felt that these statues might not be stone, but might be specially treated corpses. This may be the corpse hiding cave of the royal family. The royal family with a low status was buried here and naturally dried up.

The flares fell lower and lower, and there were traces of artificial movement below. I saw a stone disc placed at the bottom, surrounded by dozens of bronze vessels of strange shapes and sizes. Everything was very simple. Looking at the four-wall mountain rocks, there was no obvious place to continue moving forward. Indeed, we had reached the end of the road, and all the mysteries should be solved in this place.

The fat man was amazed at the sight. It was really hard to say how deep it was here. It would be better to be called the Mole clan than to be called. He was so obsessed with digging holes. He actually dug such a deep place under the imperial city. What is the purpose?

Wen Jin said: "This may be a holy land of the Queen Mother Kingdom, a place where the royal family of the Queen Mother of the West conducts secret activities. They may hold certain extremely secret rituals here, or practice some kind of religious practice."

The fat man said, "Damn, this holy land is so ragged, it's really disappointing. These Queen Mother tribes are also stupid. What are these bronze ware, and these stone sculptures, which are carved... My God! Xiao Wu, look at what these stone sculptures are!"

The fat man was startled and I was shocked. At this time, the flares fell to the ground and were still burning, but the lighting range had been greatly reduced. I raised the mine lamp to shine. After a closer look, I almost screamed. It turned out that these "stone sculptures" surrounding the cave walls were not stone sculptures at all, but rows of jade figurines!

I kept gasping for air, and the memories in the Seven Star Lu Palace surged out like a tide, and at the same time, the Muyou Bottle also let out a moan, obviously being greatly stimulated and frowned.

Sure enough, these points are related. There are so many jade figurines here. Is there a living zombie in each one?

The fat man was brave and immediately slapped the wall and lay on a stairs. I was afraid that he would cause trouble, so I pulled him over and said to him that I would go down to see the bottom of the floor, and there was no need to work.

We calmed down and quickly went down the stone steps. When we reached the last step, the fat man jumped up and before we arrived at a jade figurine, he illuminated the corpse inside with a mine lamp. It was a completely dry corpse. Because the gap was too detailed to see the details clearly, he illuminated one by one, and each jade figurine was inside.

"It seems that the eldest sister is right. This is really the place where they practice." The fat man said, "Damn, are these dry things the immortals under the seat of Queen Mother of the West in Chinese mythology? This is too far away."

"But these jade figurines are a bit different from those in the Lu Palace." I said, "The corpses inside the jade figurines in the Lu Palace are still alive, and these seem to have become mummies."

"That's because of time. This cave should have been dug at the peak of Queen Mother's Kingdom. It should have been five thousand years ago. After such a long time, even the moisture content was dried."

The fat man used his hand to touch the black jade figurine shell. The mud oil bottle grabbed his hand and told him to be careful. I said, "It's a good idea to touch this thing less. Didn't you say at that time that if the time is wrong, the jade figurine will be a big deal after it is unsheathed."

The fat man said depressedly: "I just touch it, can I leave some memories?"

I said, don't forget the pain when your body is better. It's useless to say it, so I ignore him. Wen Jin on one side has been attracted by other things and walked towards a place full of bronze utensils.

I followed and was surprised to find that these bronzes were extremely huge. When I stood below, they were taller than me and had a strange shape. I couldn't name them one. However, each bronze ware obviously had its own function. I saw the amazing decay on it and the traces of use were obvious. Obviously, this was not a place for decoration. If this cave was used by the Queen Mother of the West to practice or conduct religious rituals, then these things should also be related to practice and religious rituals.
