Great Yin and Yang - C327

When we first entered the cave, we saw a pile of bones. When we first saw these bones, we were wondering, not long after death, why did they become bones when the temperature in the cave was very low and the corpses would not rot for a short period of time?

Only now do we realize that it’s because of these black-furred mice. Wherever they go, they leave nothing behind. Even Shan Kui could chew himself into a skeleton, let alone our little arms and legs.

Everyone rested for a while, but there was still some lingering fear in their hearts. However, what made us even more worried was that our only way out seemed to be blocked. Even if we weren’t blocked, with those black-furred mice guarding us, we definitely wouldn’t be able to get through.

“Boss …” We can’t get out… “What should I do?” Zhang Chen glanced at Li Shujie and said with a sullen face.

Li Shujie breathed heavily. He raised his head to look at Zhang Chen, then looked at the people around him. He did not say a single word. Perhaps, he did not know what he should say either.

Seventeen of us entered the mountain, and only three or four days are left. There are only three members in the special task force, and one is injured. Then there is a little soldier with Liu Changping, and I only have six left.

More than half of our men have died, and we’ve killed dozens of Shan Kui as well. Logically speaking, this mission should have been completed, but we were trapped in this desolate place, and no one knows whether we’ll be able to get out.

Just like last time, the road ahead is definitely not possible. We have to find a way out of this huge cave.

Everyone stood up again and continued to walk towards the cave behind them.

If I didn’t see that huge altar just now, I would have thought that there weren’t any man-made marks here, but when I entered this cave through the tunnel just now, I saw that the man-made traces in this cave were even more obvious. Around this cave, there were many carvings of stone statues and murals, and some of the characters that looked like talismans.

However, we had nothing else to do at the moment, so we walked up to the cave wall and looked at it for a while.

The sculptures in the surroundings looked very simple, but they were extremely spirited. One could tell with a single glance that they originated from the craftsmanship of the craftsmen.

However, the words engraved on this wall are a type of writing that I have never seen before. It was very special and curved, somewhat like seal characters, but it didn’t look too similar, and was extremely complicated.

Although we couldn’t understand these words, we could understand the pattern on it.

There were many frescoes on it, most of them damp and already peeling off.

I saw a mural depicting a war. There were many soldiers standing on top of the city wall. Beneath the city wall, there were a great number of soldiers and horses. It was as if they were attacking a city. The whole scene was extremely tragic.

In another scene, many ministers were kneeling on the floor of the imperial court. At the very top, there was a figure that looked like the emperor. He looked old and decrepit with a worried expression.

The next scene was that of an opening on the other side of the city gate. The old emperor had changed his clothes and fled out of the city with a pair of his men.

The emperor was clustered at the very front and was walking awkwardly towards the forest. The terrain there was very similar to the canyon we came from, with cliffs and cliffs surrounding the entire area.

After that, the group arrived at a cave. There were many coffins inside the cave, and all of them had their lids opened.

I found a problem. These coffins seemed to be a huge formation of coffins. The one in the middle was the biggest, while the one in the middle was surrounded by small coffins. It was like there were stars surrounding the moon.

The next scene is even more miraculous. We actually saw our old opponents in that scene, those mountain chiefs whose figures were so huge.

The huge mountaineers knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the old emperor with respect.

The last scene was even more incomprehensible. I saw a mountain chief carry the old Emperor up and place him into a huge coffin. At this moment, the Emperor seemed to still be alive.

When the Emperor was placed in his coffin, the other ministers that followed him all took out their treasured swords and cut off their own necks. They all committed suicide and died for their country.

After the ministers had died, they were carried by the mountain warriors and put into the coffins, then the coffins’ lids were closed.

The final scene depicted those mountain warriors kneeling on the ground, kowtowing towards those coffins. Beside them, there seemed to be an underground river quietly flowing by their side.

After seeing these murals, we looked at each other, feeling very strange.

Zhang Chen from the special task force had a better understanding of these strange things. He introduced to us, “From these murals, we can see that it’s a battle, and in fact, it’s a very ancient country that was broken through. At that time, the king and his ministers sneakily ran out of the city, then into the depths of the mountains, which is where we are now.”

“But obviously, this place has already been prepared by the king. They didn’t escape here to live, they escaped into these coffins that were already prepared, and the rest of the ministers committed suicide and died. “It’s really hard to understand. As for why they did it, I can only ask them why …”

Looking at these strange scenes, especially Shan Kui who appeared on the screen, I sighed to myself, “Since this is the story of an ancient country, it should be at least one or two thousand years away from now. How could those Shan Kui from back then have survived until now? This is too unbelievable …”

“All of this is hard to say. Perhaps the mountain warriors we met were the descendants of the previous mountain warriors, and we came here to search for their traces, only to accidentally run into a huge ancient tomb. Now, it seems that those mountain warriors went out to kill people, all for the sake of offering sacrifices to the people in the frescoes …” Li Shujie analyzed.
