Phoenix Nine Heavens

After Su Xuan and the others entered the cave, with the faint light of the torch in their hands, they saw the artificially hewn flat ground and walls, which made people have to feel the wisdom and craftsmanship of human beings tens of thousands of years ago.

On the walls on both sides, there are pictures of flames outlined in bright colors, and a blue dragon interspersed among them, which can be seen as the main painting content of ancient murals.

Go further inside and come to the edge of an altar polished with stones.

This altar is square and flat, a full nine feet high. From the west side, one can only look up.The altar consists of 81 steps, gradually shrinking upwards, which is almost similar to the shape of a pyramid.

Flames and clouds are engraved on every step. If the colors on those carvings had not faded due to the age, those who stepped up at this moment would really feel as if they were stepping into the clouds.

Su Xuan and everyone who came in continued to walk towards the front, walked up the steps step by step, and reached the middle position at the top, only then did they see clearly that the top of the altar would be a huge pillar.

This pillar is connected to the top of the cave, as if it is supporting the entire ground and the roof of the cave. It seems that if the pillar is disconnected from the altar, the roof of the cave will collapse and destroy the entire cave.

The blue dragon circled on the pillar, entwined with flames, as if it was about to take off from here, which made people feel horrified.

And on the walls around this pillar, there are murals of figures. The one on the left is a man riding a horse, with his chest pierced by a pier, and a man with a painful expression. The first painting on the right is a spear penetrating his body. , the headless man is also sitting on the horse.

All the horses headed towards the carved dragon pillars on the altar, as if they were about to be sent to the altar to worship the sky.

Looking inside, I saw a man with a ferocious face, his hands and feet were chained and he couldn't struggle, his chest was sliced ​​open, and his internal organs were hollowed out.

There are also people who were completely blackened by the fire, and their faces could not be seen clearly.

These figures are the same as the previous murals, coming on horseback and walking towards the carved dragon column in the middle.

"Miss, look!" Seeing the mural, Su Xuan realized that the two deceased in Xingyun Village had the same death appearance as the characters in the mural, and there was almost no difference. She immediately showed a terrified expression, and immediately He called out to Su Xuan.

"Oh my god, it's exactly the same!" Lu Feng heard the exclamation of the little mirror, and immediately looked there. When he saw all this clearly, Lu Feng couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

The shape of the characters in the mural was almost the same as that of the two dead people found, so he couldn't help expressing his emotion.

"Is it really a curse?" When the third master saw this mural, he couldn't help feeling afraid. You must know that this was the first time he had seen such a scene in his life.

If you only saw those murals, it might be nothing. Everyone would think that it was a tragedy caused by some ethnic minorities who sacrificed to heaven tens of thousands of years ago. Don't give it a second thought.

But now the murals inside are related to the case outside. More importantly, Liang Wanwan and Dou Biao's deaths are consistent with the murals.

"Stop talking nonsense, miss said, it's all caused by someone, there is no such thing as strange power!" Xiao Jing immediately said to the third master when he heard this.

Now this case is getting more and more mysterious, and she doesn't know what will happen if she continues to investigate, but she firmly believes what Su Xuan said, and feels that there are no such messy things in this world, and everything is an illusion produced by the human heart. There is no need to believe.

"That's right, someone must have used this altar to kill someone, so as to get rid of the truth and motive of the murder. As long as we continue to investigate, the truth will definitely surface!" Su Xuan said immediately, and squatted down immediately Body, looked at the shoe prints under his feet, and then looked carefully at the steps in front.

It was only then that they discovered that the steps they didn't go up had also left footprints. Although the footprints were covered with a thin layer of dust, the dust couldn't cover up the traces of the footprints, and Su Xuan could still see them clearly.

"It seems that someone visited here before us!" After seeing the footprint, Su Xuan continued to say to Lu Feng and the third master, "It's just that this footprint is narrow, which is different from ordinary people's."

"What's the difference?" Little Mirror asked Su Xuan when she heard this. It seemed that she didn't understand what Su Xuan meant, so she asked Su Xuan directly.

"Look at the difference between Lu Butou's footprints and other people's footprints?" Su Xuan saw that there was no difference in the small mirror, so she immediately said to the small mirror.

"The footprints of Lu Butou are far larger than the footprints found by Miss Yu!" Hearing what Su Xuan said, the little mirror instinctively looked at the footprints behind Lu Feng and the others. And the width is far from what the footprint Su Xuan found can compare with.

"That's right, these footprints are thin and narrow, definitely not left by an adult man!" Su Xuan immediately analyzed with certainty, as if she saw some flaws.

"Could it be a child's?" The third master asked curiously, and when he heard Su Xuan say that it was not the footprints of an adult man, he immediately said speculatively, as if he had discovered something.

"No, children are relatively light. Even with all their strength, it is impossible to make such deep footprints, so I believe this is definitely not something that children can leave!" Su Xuan analyzed with certainty , denying Sanye's conjecture.

"It's not a child, nor is it a normal man, so who should leave this footprint?" Lu Feng was also confused. The more he heard Su Xuan say this, the more he felt that his brain was not enough, the more he felt that he was making trouble. Not sure what's going on.

"Look at the footprints in the little mirror and compare her footprints with the footprints we found!" Su Xuan saw that everyone was confused, but she seemed to be much clearer, so she immediately glanced at the little mirror, Then he said to everyone.

"Miss, those footprints were not left by the maidservant. The maidservant came here for the first time today!" Upon hearing this, Xiao Jing immediately clarified to Su Xuan, as if she had been wronged.

"Of course, of course I know that today is your first day here. I just want to explain clearly to everyone that this footprint is not from a child or a man, but like a small mirror, left by a woman!" Su Xuan almost Pretty sure analysis says that hardly anything else needs to be considered.
