Chapter 251 Broken Pottery

251 Chapter 251 Broken Pottery
After hearing what the little brother said, everyone started to get nervous. They were excited and scared, and they were all nervous. Some people behind them subconsciously raised their guns.

I don’t know how to describe my mood at this moment, but as soon as I heard that I was one step closer to my destination, I suddenly felt like there was a loud "click" above my head, as if I was struck by a big thunderbolt falling from the sky, and my whole body was shocked. ...I think this must be the feeling of a bolt from the blue. I felt numb from head to toe in an instant. My heart skipped a beat and I muttered in a low voice: "So fast."

Ahead is the place Wen Jin thinks is her destination.It's a place where I can untie a knot in my heart.This is the place where you can get some answers to the secret that troubles Wu Xie.So without saying a word, they immediately continued following the marks.

We had just walked around the stone pillar and walked less than two or three steps when we heard Wu Xie say "uh", then stopped and said, "Fat man, wait, take a photo for me." My brother and I also looked over.

The fat man asked him: "What's wrong?"

Wu Xie said, "I don't know what I stepped on, so I scratched it." He raised his foot, and the fat man's miner's lamp crossed the water and shone on his foot. He saw a large gash on his heel.

I looked at the little brother and said to him: "There is something sharp down here, what could it be." The little brother started to look into the water at his feet.

The fat man said: "Oh, we naively feel that the cells are very easy to use." As he said, the fat man looked down with the light.

Wu Xie lowered his head to look for it and said, "When I was a child in Changsha, I often swam in the stream with my third uncle, so based on the feeling of the soles of my feet, I could immediately tell that the soles of my feet must be broken, and it was quite serious." He looked at it. He looked and said, "There seem to be traces of ancient people's activities under these gravels, and there seem to be quite a few of them."

The little brother used his feet to push away the gravel, and more debris appeared underneath. At this time, everyone began to look at their feet.

We discovered that there were a large number of clay pot fragments mixed under the gravel. They were not buried deep, but there were a surprising number of them, extending far away from where we stood to the bottom of the lake.

I quietly said to him: "Brother, are these the pottery fragments from that pottery pot? Are those bugs just now really the larvae of the Corpse Cock King? Look, there are more marks on the other side. I thought about it before, There should be a place where a large number of bugs are stored, and it seems that this is it, so the big bug-eating guy is not really hiding nearby, right?"

Although the little brother didn't answer me, he listened. Soon he dug out human bones in the water. They were rotten and full of holes, and some hair could be seen sticking to them. I looked at that person. "It looks like these are really those jars," said the Creepy Bones.

The fat man dug down a lot, and after looking at it, he said: "There are quite a lot of them now. They are all broken. Look, the fragments of the pottery pot are all angular. They are so old and sharp, they look like small blades."

Wu Xie said: "The closer we go to where we are going, the denser the number of these pottery fragments are. They look like they were rushed from there by some force. Do you still remember? Such a scene looks very much like what happened in Xisha." I saw a scene nearby where porcelain salvaged from the sea covered the bottom of the sea. At that time, the whole bottom of the sea was covered with porcelain. But the porcelain was buried in the white sea sand, which looked ancient and mysterious. But what I saw in front of me now makes me feel sick."

The fat man looked at it and curled his lips, "Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk."

I said to him: "These are the sacrifices to the Cockscomb Snake and the clay pots for raising the eggs of the Corpse Dragon King, but they are all broken."

The fat man said while rowing the miner's lamp: "Oh, that's it. Is there also a sunken ship behind this?"

Wu Xie shook his head and said: "I guess it can't be a ship. First, there is no way a sunken ship can sink so deep underground, unless the lake has water channels leading to the outside world. Second, these jars belong to the snake sacrifices, they should be Placed in a place related to sacrificial activities, I think it must be related to the religion of the Queen Mother of the West. With such a large number, it seems that this kind of jar was not a rare thing at that time.

Judging from the damage of these jars, the insects inside must be gone. The human bones are also rotten and crispy when touched. These things have been soaked in water for thousands of years, and it is good that they have not turned into dust.Moreover, clay pots absorb water. If there is a sealed clay pot and it has been buried in the water for so long, the water will seep in little by little. The inside will definitely be filled with water, and the insects will drown. "

I looked at him and shook my head and said to him: "No, brother Wu Xie, some insect larvae are not afraid of water.

Do you remember the corpse crickets in the corpse cave water before? That is, corpse crickets are not afraid of water.Although the zombie king and the corpse frog are different species, they are both corpse frogs and should be similar.

Also, when the corpse frog king enters the human brain, there is at least cerebral fluid in the human brain. How can it parasitize in it if it is afraid of water?

Therefore, based on these two points, it can be basically concluded that the Corpse Dragon King is not afraid of water. "Actually, I also made a guess, but it's quite reasonable.

Suddenly one of Third Uncle's men asked: "With so many sacrifices, could it be that the tomb of Queen Mother of the West is behind this?"

Wu Xie thought for a moment and said, "I can't say it's impossible, but it's also a completely unfounded guess."

The fat man said: "Whatever it is, we have to be careful not to step on those pottery fragments. I don't know if these bones are poisonous. Xiao Wu, you'd better wash them quickly. Be careful of your wound infection. It will be amputated later." Crap."

Wu Xie glared at him angrily and said, "Thank you for your concern."

The fat man just smiled and continued: "Since these are sacrifices to snakes, there may be those kind of pheasant necks here. We must be careful."

Wu Xie asked strangely: "Speaking of those snakes, it seems that I haven't seen them since I entered here. Where did those hanging sausages go?"

At this moment, Heixiazi suddenly dived into the water. He dug under the water and soon took out half of the skull. The back of the head was gone, revealing the gray gelatinous, honeycomb-like tissue inside the brain cavity... ...Suddenly a feeling of nausea came over me, and I said to him: "Can you throw it away..."

He held up half of the skull and waved it deliberately in front of me. I immediately hid back to the little brother, grabbed his arm and said to the black blind man: "Don't come near me until you throw that away." Although he didn't speak, Smiling extremely brightly.

After that, we carefully continued to move forward among the large number of knife-like pottery fragments, always paying attention to avoid being scratched.

But after walking for less than a kilometer, there were so many pottery fragments under our feet, as if we were walking on a shoal filled with pottery pot fragments.Large and small pottery shards, including dark red and pottery yellow, were spread all over the area. Under the pottery pot fragments, many seemingly complete ghost-headed pots could be seen buried. Wu Xie said: "Oh my God. , there seem to be several layers under the water, this must be too much."

I trembled and said to him: "Let me just say that there is a large place to store bugs. Think about it, there are many snakes here, and these bugs are their food, so there must be an indispensable amount of them. Moreover, bugs It should reproduce faster than snakes, so that snakes can have a constant supply of food, otherwise they will become extinct on this island like those human-faced birds."

Wu Xie said: "We have no way of knowing how many layers of these things are buried under the fragments. If the ghost jar is stepped on and broken, it will be over."

Wen Jin said: "Stop first, it is too dangerous to move forward rashly, look around first to find a good way before setting off.

The fat man was not interested in these rags. He looked around for a while and was in a daze for a while.

The third uncle's guys didn't dare to touch him at all, they all stayed aside and drank soju to keep away the cold.

But what does the blind master think of this thing? ?He was very interested and dived down again and again to take a closer look at these ghost head jars. The fat man said impatiently: "Four eyes, have you seen too many dead people? Why are you fishing for those things?" But the blind master ignored him. I had a lot of fun playing it myself.

My brother and I both soaked in cold water. He is not that warm now, but he is not afraid of the cold.As for me, my fever has not gone away. This cold water is like ice water to me, and my nose is a little stuffy. I trembled and said to the little brother: "Brother, I'm cold." He hugged me tightly and stretched out his hand from He took out a small wine bottle and gave it to me, and said softly to me: "Take it, if it doesn't work, just take a few sips."

I asked him: "Why don't we find the way together?"

The little brother just looked around and fell silent again.

They searched around and found that the area was very large. Wu Xie said: "It seems that if we want to pass, we must either find a way around it from the edge, or we must step on these sharp bones and pottery fragments." , otherwise we will have to go back the same way we came.”

Wen Jin looked at her feet, and suddenly said thoughtfully: "Is it possible that we have already arrived?"

"Arrived? What do you mean?" I was surprised, but then I understood, "You mean, this is our destination?"

She nodded: "It seems that we have arrived at a place where sacrifices are piled up. This kind of place is usually the place where sacrifices are held. It has been quite a distance. Do you think it is possible that this place is our destination?"

Wu Xie looked at his feet and around and said: "No, I feel it is impossible, at least I can't accept it in my heart. What kind of place is this? There is nothing here except these ghost-head jars, so why did we work so hard to get here? ?I have already looked carefully at these jars in Devil City.

The two of them looked at the silent brother. Seeing that he had no reaction, Wen Jin took out the fluorescent sticks, folded a few to light them up, and threw them into the surrounding water to illuminate the surrounding area.

Others looked at it and started to imitate the fluorescent sticks and threw them out. Soon the surrounding water bottom lit up with a faint green fluorescence. I felt that this place became even weirder.

But after searching for a long time, I still had no clue, and I couldn't even find anything suspicious. The green light only illuminated the broken pottery shards, and nothing else.

They wondered whether the items they were looking for might be buried under the pots.But they thought it was impossible. They didn't know what their destination looked like or where to find it.

I only remember some scenes in the book, but I can't match the situation I see now. The only person who knows is probably my little brother, and I don't know if he remembers it.

Just watching Wu Xie kick the water a few times to dispel the cold and tension, it was with this kick that Wu Xie suddenly let out an "ah" and said, "I understand."

He watched as his reflection was distorted into a strange shape by the water waves, and his face and his lower body actually overlapped.

I saw him raise his head and look directly above us. I also looked up and saw nothing but darkness and something seemed different. I said, "Is it a lot higher up there?"

Wu Xie hurriedly took the miner's lamp and shined it upward. The light shone into the darkness and the top could not be seen. , he said: "The low light illumination distance of this miner's lamp is nearly 40 meters, and the cave ceiling here has obviously exceeded this distance."

Wu Xie immediately adjusted the miner's lamp to the brightest setting. The miner's lamp emitted a beam of incandescent light. Everyone looked at him. He turned the miner's lamp to the ceiling of the cave.

In an instant, we saw a huge, speechless object embedded in the rock on the cave ceiling above our heads.

This thing is extremely huge. The part that protrudes from the ceiling of the cave is spherical. Its diameter is completely impossible to estimate, and it almost covers our entire field of vision.

Wu Xie said: "Looking at the geology, it looks like a rock, but the color is completely different from the surrounding cave roofs. The surface of the stone is full of holes the size of tar barrels. There must be thousands of them, just like lotus roots hanging in the sky."

I suddenly felt that this thing seemed familiar and it seemed important.

Everyone was stunned and looked at it in confusion.

The fat man muttered: "What the hell?"

Wen Jin murmured: "Heaven, this... this is a piece of heavenly stone."
