Chapter 5 Human head and snake body
Looking at this half-body stone statue, the first feeling was that it was different from the one in front, but I couldn't tell if there was any problem there.
Still a woman is careful. Sister Le looked at it for a while and said:
"You see, the facial features of this stone statue are completely different from those in front of it."
Old Tan wondered:
"Every stone statue in front has different facial features and no expressions are seen."
Sister Le shook her head and said:
"No, I don't mean that, I mean, the facial features of this stone statue are more three-dimensional and have a high nose. This is a European-style face!"
Everyone suddenly realized.
Sure enough, I found the mystery of this stone statue at once.
The stone statue in front looks like the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shihuang, with mostly phoenix eyes, but this stone statue is obviously a foreigner's face.
Gu Yu pointed to the remaining stone statue behind and said:
"There are all European-style faces behind, both men and women."
A few people walked over and looked at it. Sure enough, from here, the remaining stone statues were all the same colored big nose, head and deep eye sockets.
Old Taqi said:
"Hammer, how many years has this ancient city been? There was a Chinese and Western exchange before the history of love!"
Ling Dongzhi looked down at the bottom of the stone statues and said lightly:
"Maybe it is not prehistoric exchanges between China and the West, but modern times. You see, there are bloodstains dragging underneath."
Guyu looked at the winter solstice and asked:
"you mean?"
Ling Dongshe replied:
"I mean, there was a fierce battle here, with blood everywhere, but no corpses were found. This ancient city is very strange, and it can save the bread from decades ago as new, so it is possible that the corpse will rot cleanly.
So, will the bodies be made into statues? That's all?"
Ling Dongshe’s guess can explain why there are such blood marks under each statue here.
Sister Leg said in confusion:
"But, these are all busts, what about their legs? If everything can be preserved here, where are their legs?"
Gu Yu pointed to the ground and whispered:
"It should be like planting trees, they were planted underground, their legs."
Ling Dongzhi looked at Guyu and asked:
"Can't you hear the inside of the stone statue at all?"
Gu Yu nodded and said:
"I can't hear at all."
Lao Ta raised the rifle in his hand and said:
"This is not simple. I broke it a few shots. I won't be clear if I look inside! You dodge it!"
Guyu stopped Laota and said:
"Don't do anything randomly. The army has not received any benefits here. We can't take risks. What if the things in this statue are still alive? What consequences will be unpredictable."
Sister Leg also said:
"Yes, it's better not to have any troubles. Let's leave here quickly."
The old tower was as good as a stream of good deeds, put away the rifle, pointed at the nose of the statue and praised it for its good luck.
Although Ling Dongsha’s words were not confirmed, the few people still accelerated their pace. It seemed that the bloody corpses sealed in these stones were really those.
What they did not notice was that behind them, the eyes of the statues were turning, following the backs of the four people, and wriggling their noses at the same time, as if they were discerning a certain smell until they could no longer see them.
After a long time, they walked out of the range of the two rows of stone statues. Just as they were about to leave the stone statue community, Gu Yu stopped at once.
He quickly walked to the side and stood in front of a very deep pit.
The pit is bottomless and has a black hole inside, with a diameter of less than fifty centimeters.
At the edge of the pit, pieces of stone fell scattered, about half a centimeter thick.
"This statue is broken."
Guyu whispered.
Ling Dongzhi squatted down, picked up a piece of stone, compared it, and said:
"This is the location of the stone-skin eyes, not the European-style eyes."
Lao Ta touched the stubble and muttered:
"Damn, it turns out that these stone statues are hollow, with such a thin layer of skin. What's the purpose of that pit?"
Guyu said in a deep voice:
"The pit is a trap for human legs."
Lao Ta narrowed his eyes and whispered:
"Hammer, do you mean, what's inside is alive and run away?"
Guyu and Ling Dongshe nodded at the same time.
Ling Dongjie picked up a stone skin, but he didn't know where it was, but there was obviously blood stain on the stone skin.
This is enough to prove that the stone statue was definitely not hollow before, but wrapped in a person with wounds on his body.
"Um?"
Guyu also squatted down quickly, and he heard something in the gap between a pile of stones.
Pulling a few stones apart, Guyu found a small oval object with two slender wires on it.
"This is..."
Lao Ta squinted his eyes and felt that this thing looked familiar.
"This is a pacemaker, just like what we saw in Shu."
Lao Ta remembered and said.
Ling Dongzhi took the pacemaker from Guyu's hand. He never forgot about it. He only took a look and said:
“It’s not only the same style, but also the same code.”
Sister Lean knew about this and said in surprise:
"You mean, is this pacemaker the same thing as the one you see in the territory?"
Ling Dongzhi was unable to answer this question, so he hesitated:
"It is obviously impossible to be the same one. The one I saw at that time was already decaying, but this one was still brand new, but they were indeed a code."
As he said that, he put the pacemaker in his backpack and continued:
"After going back, using this pacemaker, we may be able to find out exactly who has been here."
With doubts and uneasiness, they bypassed the Black Tower and came to the first half of the city.
The buildings here are very strange. They are all cylinders, like granaries, but they are all made of black stones.
On these cylindrical buildings, many exquisite carvings are embossed.
Guyu couldn't hear the situation inside the building, nor did he have the courage to open the extremely thick door.
They could only look at the murals briefly and walk along the way.
Those murals seem to have no special significance, they are all myths and legends.
Many common organisms appear on the mountain and sea meridians.
For example, the God of Beishan, Xiangliu, Yanwei, Thunder God, etc.
There are also Naga and Naji in the YD myth, Enki, the god of wisdom in the Sumerian myth, and Nyingma, the girl with fertility, and Isis and Serapis in the Greek myth.
Their images are weird and vivid, and they can almost match the characteristics of the legend at once.
However, the gods or monsters in the myths and legends of different civilizations all have one characteristic, that is, the body of a human head and a snake.
These reliefs make people feel very uneasy, and there is no awe of looking at the statues of the gods, and it is more of a mysterious fear.
They cannot understand why an ancient city with unknown age can bring together monsters and gods with human heads and snake bodies in all civilization myths and legends.
But this was not the most confusing and surprised when they came to the front door of the city.
The city wall here is a huge stone sculpture.
The contents on this stone sculpture are so familiar, but so unfamiliar in the eyes of Guyu, Laota and Ling Dongshe...
