looking for hell

Chapter 274 An Unseen Face!
Yun Qianfeng didn't bother to go to the city gate, but turned a corner, bypassed a pond, and walked in directly through the gap in the city wall that seemed to be severed by a sharp weapon.

This gap is huge, and it can be seen from the lights in the city that the city may have been cut off by one-eighth, just like a square cake with one corner completely cut off in a square shape.

Bypassing the broken wall, Yun Qianfeng walked onto the street full of red lanterns. This street was also cut off and part of it disappeared. The evidence is that there is half a person standing here.

Only the right half of this person stood at the intersection of the street, holding a lantern in his right hand, wearing a mixed animal skin and linen clothes, and the remaining half of his face wore a bright smile.

If this is an ordinary person, he would be so frightened that he would cry when he saw half a person smiling happily.

Yun Qianfeng was not that unpromising, he was someone who had seen big winds and waves, and he was so frightened that he yelled "Oh my god".

As far as this neat cross-section of half a person is concerned, the ancient doctors would definitely not be able to move away after seeing it, and had to study it for two days.

Fortunately, there was only one unlucky guy on this road cut off by some kind of force, and the rest of it was intact.

The roads here are all paved with irregular bluestones, smoothed on the top, not to mention solid, but also beautiful to look at.

On the side of the street, at intervals there is a solid wooden table full of food.

All kinds of steamed and grilled meat, and some fresh vegetables, obviously all vegetables are raw.

Fruits are also placed on the plate, but most of the three people don't know each other, and few of them know each other.

The street is not wide, only six or seven meters, and there are many pedestrians on it, most of whom are wearing clothes made of animal skin and linen.

Men are basically linen clothes in primary colors, while women are dyed in various colors.

Without exception, all of these people had bright smiles on their faces, and they all carried red round lanterns in their hands.

The same lanterns were hung in front of the thatched-roofed houses with bluestone walls and low heights on both sides of the street.

The whole long street is illuminated festively and brightly.

Perhaps it was because they walked into the city, and as they moved, the crushing sound began to fill their eardrums clearly.

But their moving speed determines that they cannot capture any information in these sound waves.

The three of them subconsciously walked along the long street, completely shocked by this scene and temporarily lost their ability to think.

Walking through a bend in the road, the intersection seemed to be windy at the moment of stillness. A beautiful woman with a fit figure and charm surpassing that of a plus-size cat, her long skirt was tilted by the wind, revealing her stretched calf muscles.

Yun Qianfeng tugged at the fluttering skirt curiously, and was surprised to find two problems.

First, the skirt can be pulled up, but it will not return to its original position, that is to say, this space does not have some kind of memory that Yun Qianfeng thought could be changed.

Second, prehistoric people really didn't wear NK.

Inexplicably, Yun Qianfeng got two tails.

Yun Qianfeng slowly came back to his senses from the shock brought by this strange scene, took out a cigarette, lifted the cover of the red lantern in the hand of the prehistoric beauty, lit the fire inside and took a puff.

The fire inside the lantern is not a candle. It smells of burning. It should be something similar to a candle formed by smashing mugwort into a fiber rope and wrapping it in oleoresin.

Cigarettes always make Yun Qianfeng's mind active.

He pondered:
"A grand wedding is being held here, and the streets are full of lights and festoons. It is estimated that it is the wedding of important people here, even the city lord."

While talking, he came to the street, pulled a wooden chair, sat at a table, picked up a piece of barbecue, took a bite, and praised:

"Delicious and hot!"

Dolma and Baihu are carnivorous animals, seeing Yun Qianfeng started eating, they moved the chairs and started eating.

It's just adding salt, but because the meat is of good quality and the heat is well controlled, it is surprisingly delicious.

Dolma was surprised;
"I didn't expect such good salt to exist in ancient times. I thought that ancient people really ate bitter coarse salt. The novel lied to me."

Yun Qianfeng smiled and said:
"The novel really didn't lie to you. The ancient people really ate bitter coarse salt, but it doesn't mean that there was no better salt in prehistoric times.

Moreover, the salt for this banquet is not artificial, but scraped from the salt skin wood. Not to mention ancient times, even modern refined salt is not as delicious as the fine salt precipitated from this plant. "

Zhuoma didn't know what Yanfumu was, but she was not curious, as long as it was delicious.

While eating, the white fox exclaimed:

"I didn't expect that there were so many residents in a small stone city in ancient times, and it was crowded with people."

Yun Qianfeng shook his head and said:
"There aren't that many people. The density of people has caught up with Tokyo. How is it possible? I guess, the wedding was held at this location, so everyone gathered here. If we go further away, there will probably be no people there. .”

If you observe carefully, you can find that the closer to the place where they come in, the denser the people are, and the outside is a little looser, but because there are too many people, it is not obvious.

Dolma obviously saw this pattern, wondering:
"If you look at it this way, the wedding should be very close here. Where is it? Why can't you find a central point?"

Yun Qianfeng smiled bitterly and said:

"I reckon that the part of the city cut off by inexplicable forces is where the wedding will be held, so we may not have the chance to see the bride and groom."

The white fox ate a piece of meat and muttered:

"I'll go up to see if there is a central point where the crowd gathers."

As he spoke, he jumped up, grabbed the beams of the house, turned over and came to a roof, standing tall and looking far away.

After looking around, the white fox jumped down with a solemn expression.

Just looking at Baihu's face, Yun Qianfeng knew that this girl must have seen something inexplicable, so he hurriedly asked:

"What did you see? This expression!"

The white fox murmured:
"First of all, you guessed wrong. In another corner of the city, there are also many people and lanterns, not much less than here."

Dolma wondered:
"Anyone else got married?"

The white fox shook his head with a serious expression.

Yun Qianfeng's heart skipped a beat, he guessed something, and said in surprise:
"A funeral is going on in the other corner?"

This is not a guesswork, so many people can gather, it's not a wedding, that's basically it.

The white fox nodded vigorously and said:
"It's all white, it's all white lanterns, and there's no dyed linen on the body, it's all the original linen color."

Yun Qianfeng thought for a moment and said:

"Is there a missing corner of the city on that side? Is there any trace of being cut off?"

The white fox shook his head and said:

"it `s complete."

Yun Qianfeng twirled an unknown fruit and threw it into his mouth, it was full of sweetness, and then said:

"We can't see who's getting married, but let's go and find out which important person's funeral is held at the wedding of another important person!"

According to etiquette, if these two are big figures in this ancient city, then such things must be staggered from each other to save face.

Of course, it is not ruled out that there was no such emphasis in prehistoric times. After all, the emphasis on this is after the "two-meter-tall and powerful man, who convinced Kong Zhongni with virtue".

As Yun Qianfeng said, he got up first and walked in the direction pointed by the white fox. The two girls hurriedly followed.

Walking along the way, grabbing some food on the table along the way, all of which are not taboo.

After walking through three streets, about ten minutes later, they saw the first white lantern.

The white lantern is almost next to the last red lantern on this side.

Here, too, is the dividing line between red and white, with a clear distinction between Wei and Wei.

This difference is really a line.

One side is all white and the other side is all red.

Yun Qianfeng stood on the abstract line, looked left and right, and sighed:
"This is truly a Yin-Yang City! I am more and more curious about who died and who got married."

The white fox laughed and said:

"No matter who it is, it must be a big shot, and the influence of these two people in this ancient city is evenly matched.

"Then let's go quickly and take a look! After figuring out what I need to know, I should be able to leave here. What is Di Ku planning here?"

After walking through the festive half of the city, the rest is all plain white.

Even if someone was wearing fur, it was still white fox fur, which made the white fox's back shiver.

The three of them did not waste time, and followed the density of people, looking for the core area where the funeral was located, because the mourning hall must be at the most crowded place.

There was no sadness on the faces of these people, but expressions of hope and pride.

Just from the expressions of these people, one can guess that this dead person must have done something extremely great for these people.

And this person's behavior made these people very proud and saw hope.

The still flow of people converged towards the end of a straight avenue.

Yun Qianfeng discovered that the location of the mourning hall is the main seat of this ancient Tiankeng city.

It was a tall stone building made of black stones, all of which were huge rectangular stones.

The whole building is a square, but many entrances are regular hexagons.

If you don't look at the overall outline, but only look at the hexagonal entrances and exits, you will think that this is a super-large beehive.

In front of this huge square building stood a huge stone statue. It was a majestic man with a strong body and a ruler in his hand.

The ruler is an ancient tool for drawing right angles. In the oldest picture of Fuxi and Nuwa, what Fuxi holds in his hand is this kind of ruler.

Yun Qianfeng stared at the stone statue in a daze, thinking in his heart:

"It's human legs, not a snake's body, so it shouldn't be Fuxi, who could it be?"

Seeing Yun Qianfeng stop, Baihu asked:
"What? Do you know who this stone statue is?"

Yun Qianfeng shook his head and said:

"I don't know, if the lower body of this stone statue is a snake tail, then it must be Fuxi, but with the current state, there is really no one who fits it.

However, this must be a person of great status, because any figure with prehistoric murals and stone statues, as long as I have a ruler or a ruler in his hand, it means that he is the one who makes the rules.

And the person who can make the rules is at least the king of a tribe. "

Since he couldn't recognize who it was, Yun Qianfeng didn't struggle anymore, but walked straight towards the square building in front of him.

They entered through the gate surrounded by white lanterns.

The hexagonal door was open, and people lined up in two lines, kneeling on the ground, with their faces facing the depths of the building.

Obviously, the protagonist of this mourning hall is in that direction.

The white lanterns make people feel cold in the bottom of their hearts, and I don’t know if it’s because of their mood, but they don’t feel as bright as the red lanterns.

Pale light illuminated the kneeling two pedestrians, but on both sides of the road, it was dark and gloomy.

The three of them lined up and walked in between the two rows of kneeling people.

In a static city, apart from being scary, it is hard to think of any danger.

Along the way, there are strange "buzzing" sounds in my ears, just like the ghost crying before the opening song of Liaozhai.

Yun Qianfeng guessed that this was the sound of crying, a sound that had been slowed down hundreds of times.

"It's so cold!"

The white fox locked his thin shoulders and said in a low voice.

This is not an illusion, but really cold.

Dolma pointed to the deepest place ahead and said:
"Look, it's full of ice!"

That looks like ice.

The huge translucent crystal, with water marks all over the inside and outside, shone coldly under the light of the white lantern.

This huge ice crystal is probably more than five meters long and one meter thick. The whole looks like a coiled dragon.

There are many kinds of dragons: those with scales are called Jiaolongs, those with wings are called Yinglongs, those with horns are called Qiulongs, those without horns are called Chilongs, and those without feet are called Chilongs.

Cicada is also the synonym for the larvae of moths and cicadas. In ancient times, it has the meaning of metaphor of reincarnation, presumably because of the biological characteristic of breaking out of a cocoon and becoming a butterfly.

On this huge ice-crystal dragon, there is a piece of exquisite animal skin, which should be the skin of some kind of aquatic creature, because it has scales on it, not animal hair.

There was a man lying on top of the hide.

Yun Qianfeng hurriedly walked a few steps and came to the ice crystal.

I saw the lying man wearing leather armor and a bronze beast mask.

If you look closely, the beast depicted on the mask is very close to the modern dragon head.

Yun Qianfeng touched the crystal with his hand and felt a bone-chilling chill.

But when Yun Qianfeng picked up his hand and looked carefully, he didn't find any water stains on his hand.

So he whispered:
"It's not ice, it's a substance we don't understand. It won't melt because it absorbs temperature, but it will grow larger as it absorbs heat."

Hearing this, the white fox hurriedly looked around the crystal, but found no evidence that the crystal became bigger.

"How did you see it?"

Yun Qianfeng pointed to the animal skin under the corpse, and said:
"The original crystal should be the size of this animal skin. After an unknown number of years, it became as big as it is now."

Dolma said strangely:

"How did you see it?"

Yun Qianfeng pondered for a while, and said:
"Aesthetic!"

The two women were taken aback, Yun Qianfeng continued:

"Look at everything here, whether it's people's clothes or decorations, they are all in proportion, very beautiful and fit.

It proves that people in this ancient city or tribe have an obsessive-compulsive pursuit of aesthetic coordination.

But you look at this huge crystal and the animal skin and corpse on it, don’t you feel uncomfortable looking at it? "

Dolma and Baihu had to admit that this was indeed the case.

If the crystal were only the size of an animal hide, the whole picture would be very harmonious.

Dolma said incredulously:
"This crystal looks like some kind of stone, but is there any stone that can grow?"

Yun Qianfeng smiled and said:
"Really."

These words stunned the well-informed white fox.

So he hurriedly asked:
"real or fake?"

Yun Qianfeng nodded and said:

"Of course it's true, not far away, but close. In the mountains of Jiuzhaigou in Shu, there is a stone that looks like a turtle. When it was discovered in the late 60s, the turtle stone was only [-] centimeters long and [-] centimeters wide. , one person can easily move it.

But 20 years later, the turtle stone has grown to 130 centimeters long, and its volume has increased tenfold. It is very difficult for ten people to move it.

In the north of Pengze, in the land of Jingchu, there was a small stone in the shape of a lion on the foundation of a family's ancestral house. At first, it was less than the height of a person's knee, but today, 350 years later, the stone lion has grown to two feet. Mido high.

So, the world is big, full of wonders. "

The white fox shook his head and said:

"The world is big, but the earth is really strange."

To be able to make the white fox say such things is enough to show how different this planet is.

Yun Qianfeng didn't continue to discuss why the crystal became bigger. After all, scientists couldn't give an answer, so he naturally didn't explain it. Instead, he looked at the part he was most curious about, which was the corpse.

"Let's see what this guy is like!"

As he said, he put his palms up, as if dragging something, and approached the bronze dragon mask of the corpse.

The reason for using such a hand shape is entirely out of a subconscious state of mind.

Using this hand shape to pick up and pick up objects represents a kind of unreasonable awe.

Yun Qianfeng's hands touched the edge of the bronze mask, his hands were slightly folded inwards, his fingertips supported the bronze mask, and his hands were slowly raised at the same time.

The candlelight shadow left by the bronze dragon mask on the corpse's face gradually became smaller and disappeared.

The face of the corpse finally appeared in front of Yun Qianfeng.

When the three of them saw this face clearly, they opened their mouths in shock almost at the same time, and their eyes were full of inconceivable expressions.

The three of them, who had seen strong winds and waves and had a strong psychological endurance, were shocked by this face at the same time and took several steps back. They tripped over those kneeling people and fell to the ground rolling and crawling.

"This is impossible!!!"
