Chapter 894 Asura

It was pitch black all around.

There is actually a huge space below.

Judging from the situation, it seems that an extremely tall building surface fell down and pressed on the top of another building, forming a unique isolated space. Even though the sand outside had been buried for many years, it still did not collapse.

This discovery is undoubtedly exciting.

Because the entire ancient kingdom of Qiuci was basically in ruins, and all the original buildings were buried underground, but a space was actually formed here. At least in this space, some complete buildings may remain.

We continued walking along the dark space.

He pointed the searchlight in his hand towards the ground and observed carefully.

Sure enough, there were four pairs of footprints on the ground.

This space is relatively closed, and the footprints are not covered by the wind and sand.

There is no doubt that Cheng Fang and the four of them are here!

We guess.

The four of them, Cheng Fang, must have bumped into the little white fox by chance during the process of picking up leaks from the ruins, and discovered the hole. At that time, the hole might have been relatively small and could only be used by the little white fox to enter and exit, so they used tools to pry open the wooden board and left with great joy. down.

Since there are footprints, it will be easier to find.

Without any distractions, we continued walking along the footprints they left, feeling that we were going downwards all the way, leading completely underground.

I walked about 50 meters.

The space suddenly became cramped.

The footprints disappeared under a building.

We took a searchlight and looked at it.

A bell tower!
We finally know why such a unique space is formed here. The top of the bell tower is held down laterally by an extremely solid stone wall. Since the bell tower itself is relatively strong, and the terrain here slopes downward, it has an extremely unique angle. , forming an oblique triangular gap with this stone wall dozens of meters long.

The bell tower in front of me is completely dark, and I don't know what material it is made of. It is in the shape of a tower, about four stories high, and the bottom area is about forty or fifty square meters.However, its base and bottom floors have been buried by accumulated sand. Generally, towers have seven floors. This building has five floors exposed on the sand. The third floor of the bell is probably in front of us.

Except for the top layer.

Each floor has tower windows.

But the tower window on the third floor in front of me was obviously artificially damaged.

no doubt.

Cheng Fang and his group did it.

Because the footprints disappear just in front of the tower.

Xia Xi illuminated the entire tower with a searchlight, frowned and said, "I think this bell is very weird."

I asked, "Why is it so weird?"

Xia Xi said: "Whether it is a bell tower or a drum tower in ancient times, the purpose of its construction is actually to ring bells and drums, to tell time or to warn people, so no matter what kind of architectural form it is, a bell or drum tower should be placed at the top. The place where the drum is placed must be hollowed out on all sides because it has to spread the sound far away.”

"I have learned physics in junior high school. Sound needs to rely on media to propagate, and gas media is greater than liquid media and greater than solid media... I'm sorry, this theory is too profound for you. I forgot that you have never gone to school..."

I said angrily: "Just explain it, why are you pulling this shit?!"

Xia Xi said: "In short, since ancient times, bells and whistles have not been completely sealed without opening windows, because no sound can be transmitted through the seal, which goes against the purpose of construction! This is the first weirdness." "As for the second weirdness. , the Bench King brought a total of three people here. There was a dead end in front of them. They must have entered the bell. It has been almost twelve hours now. Why haven't they come out yet? This tower is not high and its structure is not good. It’s complicated, not to mention they have medicine packs with them. Even if they get lost, the bomb will blow this thing apart. How can you explain that they can’t come out?”

I replied: "How else can I explain it! Either they encountered poisonous snakes and other vicious beasts inside and were killed, or they fell into the devil's abyss, or they committed suicide inside to apologize."

Xia Xi chuckled: "Which one do you think it is?"

I replied: "It can't be the second one anyway!"

Xia Xi made a face and put a searchlight to her chin to shine on herself: "I think it might be the second one!"

I said, "Get out of here!"

but.

Xia Xi said this.

I don't know if it's psychological or what.

I actually felt a little scared.

But now that we are here, we must go in.

We bit the bullet and crawled through the broken window.

Don't say it yet.

The space inside is quite large.

We are on the third floor of the clock building. There is no other object except for an ascending staircase. However, there are carved paintings on the brick walls around the walls. The brushwork is simple, powerful and full of vicissitudes of life.

I took a light and shined it.

It depicts an extremely weird person, half male and half female, the male is ugly and the female is alluring, with four eyes and four arms, holding the sun and moon in his hands, standing on the sea with both feet, and leaping over the mountains.

I frowned and asked, "Asura?"

Xia Xi nodded: "It is indeed Asura!"

King Asura is one of the eight heavenly dragons and protectors in Buddhism. He is very warlike.

As for his (her) image, it is very complicated. There are male images, female images or male and female images. The one in front of you is a typical male and female image.

Because Asura often fought with the Deva gods headed by Emperor Shakti, they became synonymous with bravery and ruthlessness.

In modern society, we often call the workplace "Shura Field", which is actually derived from this. It means an extremely cruel and life-and-death struggle.

Apart from the asura carvings on the walls, we did not find anything else of value.

I saw the footprints of Cheng Fang and others going up.

The two of us continued to climb the steps.

After walking cautiously for about ten minutes.

Came to the fourth floor.

I took a look at it with a searchlight, frowned and said, "That's not right!"

Xia Xi asked, "What's wrong?"
