Chapter 9 Copper Tripod

I was even more curious. I set up the flashlight to check the lines on the tripod.

The side near me is a simple image tiger-shaped pattern, and there are two Luan bird patterns above the tiger-shaped pattern, which is simple and vivid, revealing a sense of history.

What surprised me was the back of the bronze tripod. It was supposed to be an inscription recording the previous life of the tomb owner, but what I saw was a strange picture.

The picture is very simple, that is, countless people kneel on the ground and worship something in the sky.

That thing is a spherical object with three imaged bird totems flying around it.

I didn't know what this pattern meant at that time, but later a very similar pattern became a very famous pattern in Chinese archaeology - the sun god bird.

That was the worship of the sun by ancient people, compared the sun to gods.

In the primitive old society, the worship of the sun was very common, which was not a strange phenomenon.

However, the difference between this pattern and the sunbird is that it is in the middle of the ring, but there are two small circles distributed side by side on both sides of the axis of the circle.

I don't know the meaning of this pattern, but the main doubt is not here, but the people who worship on the ground.

Although the lines depicting these characters are also very simple, the movements of the characters have reached a vivid level, and hundreds of people can be seen kneeling on the ground in different shapes.

Most people are kneeling, but a few people are lying on the ground.

At first, I didn't pay attention to some messy lines between these people. When I looked carefully, I found that among the hundreds of people, there were some crooked swords, swords and other weapons, which actually depicted the scene of an ancient war.

And those who fell to the ground are obviously soldiers killed in the war.

However, these soldiers died without a dead look. They all had their teeth and claws, as if they wanted to get up.

When I saw this scene, my heart cooled down and I had a guess.

Is it the thing in the sky that resurrected the bodies on the ground?

If it's true, it's incredible, but I've also thought that this is just an imagery, which may be an exaggerated way of representing the sun's revival of everything.

But when I went to check these characters one by one, I suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, because there were still a few particularly tall figures standing among these people. At first, I thought these were trees, but when I took a closer look, I took a cold breath.

Because these people are not actually tall, but their necks are particularly long...

I suddenly remembered the weirdos we met when we spent the night in the cave... I thought, are those people the weirdos depicted in the picture?

As soon as I thought of this, I wanted Liang Qian to take a look at these pictures, so I turned my head to look for Liang Qian.

After looking for a while, I saw Liang Qian standing in a corner of the cave hall, checking the stone walls with a torch, and I was ready to call her.

But as soon as I was about to open my mouth, I was dumbfounded, because the scene in front of me was so strange that I almost peed my pants!

I saw Liang Qian standing alone in front of the stone wall, but the shadow reflected on the stone wall was two people.

If it's just two people, I'm not surprised, because it may be the overlapping shadow caused by the reflection of the light of the torch on the ground.

But the shadow of the man standing behind Liang Qian has a longer neck than a giraffe!

The strange scene depicted on an ancient tripod 2,000 years ago would actually appear in front of me.

This matter, even if you break your mind, you can't figure out what's going on.

Does my heart say that the things in this picture really exist? And he has lived for more than 2,000 years, and is he still doing strange things now?

But when I looked at the shadow, I felt that it would definitely not be like this, because the torch in Liang Qian's hand was enough to illuminate the distance around him five or six meters. If there was someone around him, I could definitely see it.

Thinking about it, I feel even more creepy, because this long-necked guy is likely to be a ghost!

Although ghosts have no shadow, ghosts can only have shadows.

At the thought of this, my whole body was cold, and even my throat began to tremble. I shouted in a low voice, "Liang Qian... There is something next to you. Look at the shadow on the wall."

Everyone was looking for the dark road and stone gate, so the cave hall was very quiet. As soon as I said this, not only Liang Qian was shocked, but also the people around turned their heads to look.

As soon as Liang Qian turned around, the light of the torch moved at an angle, and I saw that the neck of the thing shrank back almost in an instant.

In less than half a second, the shadow darkened and disappeared on the rock wall.

But even at such a fast speed, several people still saw the ghost!

Suddenly, the cave seemed to explode. Everyone was frightened and stayed away from the wall of the cave and leaned towards my position.

But after all, not everyone is so timid. Although Liang Qian was surprised, she still stayed in her original position and observed around.

And Nobita simply scolded: "Fuck, what's sneaky! If you have the ability, come out and do it alone!"

At that time, my nerves had tightened to the extreme. At first, I thought that the light and shadow might have been caused by the distortion of the shadow formed by the water on the ground, but from the contraction of the neck just now, it was definitely a conscious thing, and I think it is now staring somewhere in the dark. We.

But after a long time, that thing never appeared again.

Liang Qian held a shotgun in one hand and continued to look around the wall with a torch. Daxiong also ran to help, but never found any clues.

Gradually, everyone regained their quietness from the discussion. Liang Qian and Daxiong also plan to give up searching.

But at this time, I saw a small dark shadow slowly appear next to the shaking shadow of the two of them, and then gradually became bigger.

At this time, everyone roared in horror, and I also felt a numbness in my scalp, but I still stopped the crowd from making noise.

Sure enough, in the case of absolute quietness, the thing slowly emerged again. From the small black spot at the beginning, it slowly changed into a person's shadow, and finally slowly stretched its neck from the appearance of a normal person. The process was extremely strange and suffocating. I saw everyone's eyes bulging, bean-sized sweat coming out of their foreheads, and some people's bodies trembled like sieves.

If you hadn't seen the process of this change with your own eyes, you may never understand my fear at that time. I never dreamed that such a thing would happen in the world.

It was not until the shadow was fully formed that Liang Qian and Daxiong woke up from a dream and approached the shadow.

I saw that their faces were like dead ashes, worse than the faces of the dead, and Daxiong's back was even more wet. His strength seemed to be scared back without saying a word.

When the shadow of the two people covered the strange shadow, I saw that the shadow of the long neck seemed to move. His face was originally looking to one side, but now it slowly turned around until it was facing us!

At that time, I really felt that I was suffocating. That thing was obviously looking at us.

No matter how bold Liang Qian and Daxiong were, they were so scared that they were stunned for a long time before they began to observe the surroundings.

I also hit the flashlight with my trembling hand and shot around them, but still didn't find anything suspicious.

Everyone almost didn't even have the courage to breathe, and their faces turned pale with fear, but after a long time, the shadow kept that movement and did not move.

I was distracted when someone patted me from behind. I was shocked. Looking back, it turned out to be Lao Huang.

He didn't look at me, but pointed to the wall not far away from Nobita and said with a dead face, "There are still... many..."

I looked as if I had been struck by lightning, and I almost sat down with my legs soft. Because four or five dark shadows slowly appeared on the wall behind Daxiong, all of which were slowly changing.
