Lin Xi hesitates. He wants to tell the secret of the heavenly eye power, but he finally resists it. He just lets Zhang Zhiyan follow him and is sure to take her out.
"How is this possible, Lin Xi? You ····"
it's obvious that Zhang Zhiyan can't believe that Lin Xi can see things in the dark, but Lin Xi doesn't explain. Instead, he pulls her forward and comes to the face.
"Damn, it's this ghost. It's really frightening. Damn it"
when Lin Xi saw the real face, he suddenly became strange. At the same time, he felt more rude and had the impulse to curse his mother.
Feeling Lin Xi's change, Zhang Zhiyan said nervously: "what's the matter, what have you found? Is there something wrong with that face "
spitting out his turbid breath, Lin Xi said in the dark:" well, I have seen that face! In fact, it's not a human face at all, it's just a stone statue painted with white secret material, which looks like a human face, but ··· "
as you said, the face in front of Lin Xi is just a stone statue on the stone wall, because it's painted with white secret material, it looks like a human face from a distance.
Or the secret material is special, leading to the celestial eye power can not see clearly, resulting in a vision illusion.
At that time, Zhang Zhiyan was relieved, as long as it was not a monster, it would pose a threat to them, there would be nothing to worry about.
Can listen to Lin Xi's meaning, as if there is another deep meaning, can't help but ask: "but what?"
After pondering for a moment, Lin Xi said slowly: "but this face is carved on a stone coffin, and the stone coffin is very large, with the same face carved on all sides"
to be more precise, the stone coffin is about four meters long and two meters high, and the whole body is also made of gray stone. In addition to various complicated stone patterns, it is carved on the bottom A face gives people a strange feeling.
And these faces, all can not see the gender, and facial features, and ordinary people are no different, only slightly sharp ears, slightly larger, eyes focused, there is an indescribable sense of coldness.
What's more strange is that the expressions of those faces are all different. They represent happiness, anger, sorrow and sorrow respectively. They are very strange and indifferent, as if they were carved out of the mold. They feel very unreal.
The most important thing is that the stone coffin is not placed horizontally, but vertically, which makes the face on it frightening in the dark.
The reason why Lin Xi didn't find this stone coffin when he looked at the stone chamber before was that some secret material was smeared on it, which could absorb all the light, so that the heavenly eye power could not be seen.
It's just strange why there is such a huge stone coffin here? Who is the owner of the stone coffin? If you can be guarded by the tribe, the owner of the stone coffin must have an extraordinary origin!
What's more, since the secret brought by the tribe was not in this stone chamber, where would it be? Is it behind the first stone chamber, another stone door?
"How can there be four faces on the stone coffin? This is too strange "
after listening to Lin Xi, Zhang Zhiyan knows everything, but she is very curious about why there is a face on the stone coffin. This strange custom is unheard of and never seen.
"It's not hard to understand that the custom of using human face as decoration, engraved on utensils or coffins, for burial after death, was very popular in the Shang and Zhou Dynasties"
"so many pre Qin bronzes unearthed today can be seen carved with human face, and even in the Three Kingdoms period, there are similar customs ···"
or For Zhang Zhiyan, it's hard to understand the face carved on the stone coffin, but for Lin * *, it's not surprising.
You know, the Shang and Zhou dynasties were the most popular period in which slaves were buried. They naturally worshipped human face objects, which has been recorded in history books for a long time, but because of different times, the characteristics of human face changed a little.
When Lin Xi saw the painting of Fuxi Nuwa in the forest, he had already determined that the tribe moved here 3000 years ago, which was also the heyday of the Western Zhou Dynasty. Therefore, it is not surprising that faces appeared on the stone coffins.
"This kind of human face, regardless of gender, only appeared in the heyday of the Western Zhou Dynasty, so this stone coffin should be an object of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and the reason for its shape depends on the legend of the Yellow Emperor on all sides"
Zhang Zhiyan was curious and asked in the dark, "the legend of the emperor on all sides? Lin Xi said: "according to the legend, after the emperor defeated Chi you, he gave birth to four faces, facing the southeast and northwest respectively, and came to rule the world at one time."
"however, there is another saying that the Yellow Emperor sent four envoys to help him relieve the suffering of the people. However, there is no final conclusion on which one is accurate· ·····"
" therefore, the owner of this coffin was willing to position himself as the ruler of the tribe, otherwise he would never have carved so many faces on the coffin. "At this point, Lin Xi suddenly looked strange and continued: "but strange is that there are five faces in this coffin. Where did the extra face come from?"
as you said, except for the bottom of the coffin, there are stone carvings on the other five faces. According to the legend of the Yellow Emperor, four faces should be enough. Why are there five faces?
Hearing Lin Xi's words, Zhang Zhiyan thought deeply and said in a soft voice, "maybe there is a face on behalf of the owner of the stone coffin! But who is the owner of this stone coffin? "
"In the previous stone wall paintings, when the tribes moved here, they had broken with the saints of the tribe, and there was no new ruler, but now there is this stone coffin, which is too strange"
Zhang Zhiyan's words are reasonable, and Lin Xi also fell into meditation, but it never came to a conclusion. After all, after thousands of years, he has gone through so many twists and turns Who knows what happened?
"Eh, I remember that there are also stone murals here, maybe there will be records"
at this time, Lin Xi suddenly remembered that there are stone murals around the stone room, but he was so frightened that he didn't have time to see the contents of the painting.
Thinking of this, Lin Xi pulls Zhang Zhiyan to look at the stone wall paintings on the mountain wall, and soon knows the origin of the owner of the stone coffin, and then tells Zhang Zhiyan.
It turns out that after the breakup with the holy daughter of the tribe, although the tribe was divided into two groups, one of them migrated here, but they did not completely break off contact.
In other words, this was the saint's decision. She was afraid that the king would come back to kill the tribe after taking away the secret, so she pretended to break up and find a new place to live.
As for the virgin herself, she used her body as bait to gain time until the tribe found the forest and lived in it.
