Chapter 377 Stone World
There are no absolutes in this world.
Before Lin Fan met John Woo, he didn’t know that there was such a thing as the Special Affairs Institute in the world.
Don’t talk about it.
Just two days ago, before seeing that red shadow on the subway, Lin Fan had always thought that those indescribable things only existed in works of art and were all things in her imagination. ……
But can you destroy your prestige at this time?
Absolutely not!
Lin Fan muttered "All the best" in his heart, and easily opened up the blocked gravel like a knife cutting through tofu.
This time, she did not transform immediately and go back. Instead, she walked forward for a while and confirmed that there was no place where the stars would be needed in a short period of time before retreating from the mecha.
Wu Yusen had already buckled her scabbard on his waist for convenience. Lin Fan didn't bother to take it back.
Anyway, the person was right next to him, so there wasn't much difference between taking it from behind him and pulling it from my own waist. I just took the coat and put it on.
I can’t do it without wearing it. It's still a little cold underground.
“It feels different inside here than outside.” After walking forward for about ten minutes, Lin Fan said while looking at the bricks under his feet.
Although the passage outside was square at first, it was neat, empty, and without any decoration.
And here, the ground beneath your feet is made up of countless small stone bricks. It is obviously much more refined than the previous ground.
"More than that, look." Sister Xu stood by the wall and greeted.
The two walked over and took a look, and there were murals carved on the wall.
This...
When Lin Fan carefully identified the content of the mural, John Woo ran directly to the opposite wall to take a closer look and said. "There are some here too."
Not only are there paintings, there are also some decorative patterns on the corners, dividing the murals into pieces.
Although the carving technique is relatively simple and not very clear, compared with the outside, it is obvious that a lot of manpower and material resources have been spent here, and it can be regarded as a fine decoration.
"Hiss..." Lin Fan frowned slightly and asked Sister Xu, "Are you sure this isn't a tomb?"
Why does it look more and more like it?
“There is indeed some resemblance here, but the front is indeed out of standard...” Sister Xu considered, “From my feeling, the inside and outside of the door may not be the work of the same person. "
"Tomb within a tomb?" John Woo adjusted the camera device on his glasses, and the abstract murals were captured one by one.
"It's hard to say whether it's a tomb or not," Sister Xu slowly shook her head, "but there should be the one inside first, and then the one outside..."
"Let's just say, is it possible that there is someone, Why doesn't he follow the rules when he does something?" Lin Fan asked. "Or maybe at the end, due to some reasons, the manpower is not enough, so the outside of the door looks rough?"
"Probably not." John Woo replied, "Although there is no decoration in the passage, there are traps , the mechanism took a lot of effort, not to mention the illusion over Sister Xu’s side, it can’t be the result of a mess.”
Lin Fan thought about it.
"There is no point in guessing now, let's move on." Sister Xu looked at the abstract mural for a long time with no solution, so she could only give up and call others to move on.
Further forward, the "fine decoration" changed again. The stone walls on both sides began to return to their natural form, and then there were rocks and trees.
Lin Fan touched the stone tree, and the branches and flowers were lifelike. He sighed in disbelief, "This craftsmanship can only go so far now, right?"
I don't know when this thing in the ground was buried or how long it was buried.
But looking at the style of the mechanisms in the passage, it is obviously not recent. At least when the passage was built, it was still in the cold weapon era.
It’s not that she looks down on ancient craftsmanship.
But it is undeniable that due to the constraints of technology, craftsmanship, and other factors, ancient construction techniques were indeed, to a large extent, not that sophisticated. In many cases, it is even rough.
At least in terms of stone carving craftsmanship, this is true.
But the stone trees and stone flowers in front of her broke her inherent concept.
You want to say who cast a spell to directly turn living things into petrification, and she will believe it... Wait, isn't this really magic?
Lin Fan followed Sister Xu and moved forward little by little.
If she was surprised to see the stone trees, then Lin Fan was stunned when she saw the stone tables, stone benches, stone pavilions at the back...a garden all made of stones.
"This..." Lin Fan swallowed, unable to express the shock in his heart.
“Is this kind of scene common?” John Woo was as shocked as Lin Fan.
There is no water in the stone pond, but there are lotus flowers and fish hanging in the air.
Sister Xu shook her head.
She has never seen such a simulated group of stone sculptures in a tomb, it is simply...
"It seems to have restored the real life scene." Lin Fan murmured.
So this must be a tomb, right? If not, why does such a time-consuming and labor-intensive scene exist underground?
The three of them calmed down and moved on.
Following the stone road and passing through the stone garden, they saw stone fences and stone huts.
The house looks like an adobe thatched house, but it is also solid, not like a tofu dregs of construction that will collapse if blown, but has a solid and heavy feel.
The door of the house is open, and the three of them can see inside if they get closer.
The low table and bed, the screen and the cups... the furnishings in the house looked simple, but exquisite...
"What era is this from?" Lin Fan asked.
Looking at the entire room, the most surprising thing is that there are no chairs. The table is also a low one, for sitting cross-legged on the floor.
If she remembered correctly, chairs seemed to have existed in the Han Dynasty, right? Although it is a chair without legs.
The cups and cups on the table also seem to be of a very ancient style, with thick edges along the walls, like clay products...
But to say it is crude, it seems that it has everything it should have. Nothing is bad...
"Judging from the furnishings in the house, it should be before the Pre-Qin Dynasty." Sister Xu said, "During the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, and the Warring States period, the level of industrial development was not that developed. At that time, it was popular Pottery.”
"How could the underdeveloped industry at that time be able to carve such fine stone sculptures?" Lin Fan looked at it compared with the pottery bowls and pots. It was obvious that he didn't know how many times more exquisite other objects were, and he felt indescribably weird.
"Is it possible... that all these things have been petrified?" John Woo asked, "Like Medusa, who was petrified instantly?"
There are many strange things in the special laboratory. , it’s not unusual for such a thing to happen.
Sister Xu frowned after hearing this, "It's not impossible, but it's not easy to petrify such a large area. If your guess is true, then the person who caused this result must not be What a simple character.”
People with this kind of ability are undoubtedly feared.
What is the reason why such a fearful person is petrified here?
Seal yourself here? Or seal the people he fears here?
If such a person is to be feared, what kind of character is it that is easy to get along with?
Sister Xu felt uncertain, feeling that the danger of the task had increased exponentially in an instant.
But do we have to retreat at this time?
Impossible.
The mission has already progressed to this point. It is impossible to withdraw based on speculation before seeing the danger.
Problems in the domain must always be solved, whether it’s them or other colleagues, it doesn’t make any difference.
Sister Xu squeezed the small chrysanthemum in her hand tightly, and then thought about the destructiveness of the stars, she made up her mind and said hello.
“Let’s go!”
Let me tell you, I thought about it for a long time before I figured it out. It’s not easy to grow old.
It’s not easy to beat the author, haha. The treasures come to encourage and encourage.
