173,173 Deep in the Stone Cave(2/2)
On the stone wall behind each giant, there are unique murals painted in black and ocher colors. There are also large-scale sacrificial scenes in the murals. In addition to masked people and sacred trees, there are also many animal images.
The three of them looked at the cave for a long time. The four giant skeletons had an unreal feeling, just like giant stone sculptures. They were not scary, but had a solemn and sacred feeling.
And the golden sacred tree on the table has a special kind of beauty.
Usually utensils made of pure gold will give people a sense of vulgarity and exaggeration, but this one is different, maybe because the shape is quite stable, with three layers and nine branches, ten birds and ten days, it feels very reasonable no matter from which angle you look at it.
.
Even Bai Yutang, who has always been picky, thinks this tree is an almost perfect tree. Let’s not talk about its usefulness. Anyway, it is very beautiful!
After watching for a long time, Zhan Zhao asked Bai Yutang, "What happens next?"
The Fifth Master was stunned by the question. He thought about it and shook his head - and then?
Both adults went to see the fourth child.
The little fourth son held the golden compass, stretched out his hand and rubbed his neck and said to Zhan Zhao, "Mao Mao, my neck hurts."
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both wanted to laugh. Not to mention, they kept looking up, and both of them felt a little pain in their necks, not to mention the fourth child.
"How about going back?" Zhan Zhao asked Bai Yutang after seeing that there was nothing else around him.
Fifth Master nodded, just treat it as sightseeing...it's still quite nice.
The three of them got on Yaoyao, took nothing, touched nothing, and returned the same way.
He flew out of the cave smoothly, returned to his original route, and rushed back to Jinhua Mansion.
The compass made another sound. As they left Qinling Mountains farther and farther away, the compass finally stopped moving.
Bai Yutang studied the compass and asked Zhan Zhao, "Could this be used to find giant caves like this?"
Zhan Zhao thinks this is possible, but he doesn't know why.
"But why is there such a cave?" Zhan Zhao was puzzled, "Could that tree just now be the sacred tree of immortality?"
The Fifth Master was not sure, "This kind of giant cave has appeared three times. The one that the demon king entered before, the one that Jiang Wanglou's grandfather found in Kuaiji Mountain, and this one. It feels like each one is actually not that big."
If used, will it resemble a kind of giant’s tomb?”
"But did these giants go in and sit and wait for death before they died?" Zhan Zhao felt that it seemed difficult to operate. "They will become stiff after death. It is probably unrealistic to pose them like this, and they are so huge..."
Saying that, the two adults looked at the little fourth child - you are the little miracle doctor, what do you think?
"Those giants just now." The fourth child indeed had a different view, "They are not giants at all."
Both Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were confused, "Not a giant?"
The fourth son analyzed it carefully, "When a person dies, the body will rot. There are certain conditions for becoming a mummy. At least the internal organs must be removed. After the skin and flesh of the mummy are dried, the bones are no longer wrapped in skin and flesh.
It will lose the ability to weigh and it will be difficult for the corpse to sit on it. Besides, if the mummy's bird-head mask is made of pure gold, it would weigh at least several hundred kilograms. The bones in the neck of the mummy cannot support such a heavy mask.
, the whole head will surely fall off. How could it be possible that he is still holding a golden pot and a golden slate in both hands, his hands will be broken! And the giant's toenails are also very short."
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other, "Nails?"
"Yeah!" The fourth son nodded, "Fingernails will continue to grow for a long time after death, and those giants don't wear shoes, so the toenails will definitely deform, wear and break, but the incisions on the toenails will have a smooth surface.
It’s smooth, just like the feet of ordinary people who take off their shoes!”
"Then what do you think those giants are?" Zhan Zhao asked.
The fourth son was quite serious, "Although it looks very real, from a doctor's point of view, I think it's a bit fake!"
"Fake?"
"Yeah!" The fourth boy nodded, "I don't know how it happened, but I don't think giants exist."
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both asked the fourth son curiously, "Why?"
The fourth child frowned and muttered, "Why are you so tall? There's no need!"
The two adults were amused by him - you are a little dumpling, do you dislike him for being tall?
The fourth child rubbed his neck and twisted his waist, saying that his back and neck hurt after he had his face up for a long time.
Zhan Zhao poked his belly and thought to himself, you don't have a neck or a waist.
Zhan Zhao and Xiao Sizi were sitting on the dragon's back and playing around. The fifth master was watching and thinking about the giants he had just seen in the cave.
Wu Ye also had a vague feeling in his heart. Looking at these giants was like looking at the huge Buddha statues in the temple. There was a solemn feeling. Could it be that some people believed in giants in the past, just like people believe in gods and Buddhas now?
, are these giant statues made by those people? These stone caves are not giant tombs, but are used to worship and pray like temples? Especially those giants holding things, holding stone tablets and golden pots.
, is it the same as the vajra arhats holding different things in the temple, right?
…
At this time, the Silver Demon King and the Soy Sauce Group who were in the cave of Kuaiji Mountain also had the same idea.
After the three of them entered the stone cave, they quickly found the stone temple and the giant's mummy.
This stone temple is relatively small, with only one mummy.
The mummy was wearing a bird-head mask, sitting with its hands on the armrests of the stone bench, facing forward.
Yin Hou and Tianzun raised their faces and looked at the giant. The demon king put his hands behind them and looked around.
"Is this the guy who looked down at Jiang Er?" Tianzun asked.
Yin Hou nodded, "I guess so. Didn't you mention that the compass around your neck was taken off?"
"Is this really a mummy?" Tianzun seemed a little unconvinced, "Why does it look like a stone sculpture?"
As he spoke, he pushed Yin Hou.
Yin Hou looked at him in confusion, "What are you doing?"
"Old ghost! Go up and pluck off that bird's head and try." Tianzun encouraged Yin Hou, "Let's see what the giant looks like."
Yin Hou looked at Tianzun with some disgust - Cai Ma! You have to go alone!
Tianzun poked Yinhou - You are good at Qinggong, go quickly!
Yin Houcai will not be fooled and will not go.
The two of them were making trouble when suddenly the Silver Demon King from behind looked over and said, "Speaking of..."
The two elders were startled by him, and both turned to look at him.
"I didn't see that golden spear!" said the demon king.
Tianzun and Yin Hou looked at each other and looked around, indeed...
"So Jiang Da was deceived by that old woman?" Tianzun and Yin Hou asked together.
The demon king was puzzled, "Jiang Da?"
"Aren't there three generations?" Tianzun held out three fingers and said, "Jiang Wanglou is Jiang San, his father is Jiang Er, and his grandfather is Jiang Da. This is easier to remember."
The Silver Demon King didn't say much. He just pointed at the stone statue and asked, "Do you feel that something is not right?"
Tianzun and Yin Hou both nodded and nodded - something is wrong! There is nothing wrong with it being so big!
The Silver Demon King waved his hand helplessly and reminded the two of them, "Look at the giant's hands."
Tianzun and Yin Hou raised their heads to look again. The giant was holding the armrests of the chair with both hands, sitting upright with his bird's head looking straight ahead.
"What's the problem?" both of them asked the Demon King.
The demon king whispered, "Did Jiang Da say that he took away the golden spear from the giant?"
Tianzun and Yin Hou both nodded, and then suddenly realized something was wrong. They looked up again... The giant placed his hands on the armrests, still holding the armrests... In which hand was the golden spear held?
?
Just as he was wondering, the Demon King stretched out a finger and pointed in a direction, signaling the two of them to look at the ground next to the sitting giant.
Tianzun and Yin Hou looked in the direction of his finger and saw two clear huge footprints in the open space behind the chair next to where the giant was sitting.
Yin Hou blinked and Tianzun asked, "Uh... are there two giants? The one with the spear is standing next to it?"
The Demon King nodded and whispered, "I think so too."
Tianzun and Yin Hou both looked at him with disgust - Why are you speaking so quietly? Do you want to scare people?
The demon king used an even lower voice and said in a protracted tone, "Guess...where did that giant go?"
Tianzun and Yin Hou both took another look at the footprints - yes, where did they go? Did they go for a walk?
Tianzun and Yin Hou were looking down at the footprints when they suddenly heard the Silver Demon King say "Wow!" in their ears.
The two old men jumped in fright and turned back to glare at the Demon King - Why are you so surprised!
I saw the Demon King pointing upward.
Tianzun and Yin Hou raised their heads...
I saw the bird-headed giant sitting in front of me just now, lowering his head at some point...
At this time, the huge bird's face was facing the three of them. There seemed to be a pair of eyes staring at them in the two dark eye holes of the bird's eye.
