Doomsday gangsters travel through the 50s

Chapter 275
"Why did you come out from here?" Ling Kun couldn't help being taken aback when he saw the direction they came out from, and his eyes changed several times in an instant.

"It's faster this way. From the looks of you, you seem to be in trouble?" Dong Lin was extremely glad that he chose to trust Xia Yanru. If he insisted on taking the path Ling Kun instructed, would he become like her now? Embarrassed?
"Really?" Ling Kun stood up slowly, patted the dust on his body, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up, and his eyes locked directly on Xia Yanru who was beside him. He knew that Xia Yanru must have played a role in it, and he didn't choose to stay with him Mark go.

"By the way, what did you encounter?" Dong Lin smiled and asked again.

"It's just a little trouble." Ling Kun didn't want to say more. In the final analysis, it was his own judgment error. He didn't expect that there would be such a tricky thing in that passage. There were only 5 people left in the team of nearly ten people. people.

Speaking of which, Ling Kun does have a lot of information in his hands. He has come all the way here, almost relying on the map in his hand, but he is naturally not willing to share this matter. Seeing that he is getting closer and closer to the destination, While he was excited, he also became more defensive.

"They are the only ones left on your side?" Dong Lin looked at Ling Kun's side with only a few people, and thought to himself, what kind of troubles did they encounter to cause such a heavy loss, or did they not have many people from the beginning?

Ling Kun froze for a moment, then smiled wryly, "Indeed, that's all that's left."

"Forget it, what has been expected for a long time, how about it, if there is no problem, let's continue to set off?" Dong Lin shook his head. Every time this kind of task always loses a lot of manpower, he doesn't feel bad anyway, as long as As long as he can live, those who die are not good people anyway.

"Okay, let's go." Ling Kun looked around. Before Xia Yanru and the others came, he also rested for a while. Seeing that the destination was close at hand, he didn't want to continue wasting time on rest.

The team reunited again, and the team of more than ten people was much bigger than when they parted. Xia Yanru walked quietly in the first lane as before, and Ling Kun didn't know what to think, and didn't walk in the middle, and chose to go with Xia Yanru Walk side by side.

Entering the main hall, a woody smell that can't tell whether it's bad or good smells hits everyone. There is a huge statue with three heads and six arms standing in front of it. Only the head in the middle of the statue belongs to the human race. The left and right heads are dragon heads. One is the head of a bird, and so are the six arms, each corresponding to the head of a different race.

"The stone sculpture of man and beast is really interesting." The first moment Dong Lin saw the statue, he felt that the Jiulong Underground Palace began to become more interesting.

Counting it, the earliest well-known human-animal fusion phenomenon should be Fuxi and Nuwa brothers and sisters, 'Fuxi has a scaly body, and Nuwa has a snake body. 'This is recorded in many historical materials.

Then again, why did Jiulong place such a statue here?Its dragon head is understandable. After all, it is said that Jiulong is the son of the dragon, and having a dragon head can also explain it, but what is this bird head?

"This bird. Why does it look familiar?" Dong Lin looked it over carefully. Since the completion of this underground palace, no one should have entered it, so the things inside are well sealed, and this statue is also the same.

"Fly Eagle." Xia Yanru said.

"Yes, it really looks a bit like a Falcon, but it's still a little different. Maybe this is the Falcon King?" Dong Lin gave full play to his brain power.

"Did you also meet the eagle when you came here?" Ling Kun asked.

"That's right, the black worm that the hawk vomits is very powerful, and it will kill you if you touch it." Dong Lin still had lingering fears when he thought of the black shadow.

"The black worm is a parasitic beast of the hawk. The two are in a symbiotic relationship, but the hawk is the dominant one. If the black worm dies, it won't have much impact on the hawk, but once the host hawk dies, those The black worm will die immediately." Ling Kun explained.

"Indeed, we only discovered this situation later, and we were able to escape successfully." Dong Lin nodded. Ling Kun's explanation was very correct, and it was precisely because of the unequal symbiotic relationship between the two that they were given a chance to escape.

In this sacrificial hall, besides the eye-catching three-headed statue, there are also kneeling stone statues on both sides. The appearance and costumes of each statue are carved lifelike, but their costumes are not ugly. It can be seen that these two rows of stone statues should be the leaders of the major tribes who surrendered to Ailao.

"Xiao Xia, there seems to be something wrong with the statues and stone sculptures on both sides." Yang Gang has sharp eyes, and when he observes these stone statues, he always has a sense of indescribable disobedience.

"It's a real person." Xia Yanru said in a deep voice. She didn't notice it at first, but it was because of the smell in this temple that inspired her. To be honest, she didn't expect that people would be directly made into statues and placed here.

Everyone couldn't help but gasped when they heard this, the stone sculptures in the hall were actually made by real people, and for a moment they all looked at the top three stone sculptures with the same like-mindedness, and couldn't help guessing whether the stone sculptures could be Jiulong's or not. Can't be real?
"Only these three portraits are fake." Xia Yanru's next sentence broke everyone's guess.

"That's right, Jiulong spent so much effort to build such an underground palace, it's impossible to turn himself into a stone sculpture and place it here." Dong Lin nodded in agreement. This is only the sacrificial hall, and the main tomb hall should still be in the depths. Longzhi's coffin must be properly placed in the main tomb hall.

"What kind of custom is this? Why do you still use real people as stone carvings? Is this a sacrifice?" Luo Qi didn't quite understand this kind of burial custom.

"That's more cruel than you have seen before. Living sacrifices have existed since ancient times, and many princes and nobles were buried with living people after their death. The number of people buried with the deceased varies depending on the identity of the deceased." Dong Lin's mouth twisted. Hook, there are so many burial palaces, and he has never seen any kind of weird burial customs, which is not unusual.

Luo Qi didn't believe it, and cast a puzzled look at Xia Yanru, and didn't believe that such a cruel burial custom really existed until the other party gave him a positive nod.

"The custom of living sacrifice is not only used for burials, but also many ancient ethnic groups also use living sacrifices in major festivals. The cottage you were in before was like this on their Valley Festival Day. Every Valley Festival Day They are all gods of the valley who sacrifice the living." Dong Lin continued to popularize science for the three people who didn't know how to do it.

"Murder is against the law." Roach didn't know what expression to use. Even though he had seen many uncivilized barbarians, he still couldn't accept this cruel custom.

"There is always a place where the light can't shine." Xia Yanru said softly, then turned and walked behind the three stone statues, where there was a passage she had explored.

After Xia Yanru finished speaking, she didn't feel anything. On the contrary, after listening to others, they all fell into contemplation to varying degrees. Among them, the three of Yang Gang felt the deepest. As soldiers, they hope that there will be light everywhere, and that all ordinary people All live in peace.

But in fact, as Xia Yanru said, there are always some places that are dark and chaotic, where the sun cannot shine, and the dark side of human nature is fully displayed.
