Chapter 84 Murals

After the mandrill ghost disappeared, the tung room returned to tranquility. Everyone danced torches and suddenly found that the tomb wall was shining brightly! Niu Jianjun swallowed and spitted and said to Guo Jiefang: "Old Guo, why does this tomb wall still shine? Is this the ghost fire that people often call?"

Li Yuanchao interrogated: "The ghost fire should be blue. The light on it is colorful, it cannot be a ghost fire!"

Huang Yaju said: "If it weren't for ghost fire, what would it be?"

Guo Jiefang waved his hand to everyone and said, "Let's go over and see what's shining..."

Everyone exchanged their eyes and walked slowly towards the tomb wall. The closer they were to the tomb wall, the more dazzling the light on it was. Guo Jiefang's gesture made everyone stop, and he walked to the wall alone. He calmed down, narrowed his eyes and looked carefully, but found a layer of crystal clear ice on the tomb wall. It was thought that it was a leak on the top of the tomb chamber, and the ice layer condensed into permeated! No wonder, when they first entered the tomb chamber, they felt extremely cold. As for the sparkling light on the wall, it was the reflection of the tomb, and there was nothing to make a fuss about!

Guo Jiefang revealed the secret of the glowing wall. He was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but he was shocked to find that there seemed to be a pair of eyes staring at him under Bobing...!

He shivered suddenly, and his back felt numb and said to himself: "How come there is still someone under the ice layer? He suddenly remembered a story that the Fourth Master had told him many years ago, saying that there was a kind of corpse tomb in this world. There were hundreds of dead corpses buried in the walls of this tomb. These corpses were all lifelike, as if they were asleep. Once they were touched with a little bit of the yang energy of a living person, they would immediately turn back to their yang and turn into human-eating rice dumplings...!

When Guo Jiefang thought of this, his heart couldn't help but tighten, and his hair stood up all over his body!

He just glanced at it in a hurry and didn't see clearly what was under the ice. Now he wanted to look at it again, but he found that his hands and feet were sore and weak and out of control!

Seeing that Guo Jiefang had walked over for so long and didn't say a word, Niu Jianjun couldn't help but feel anxious. He called Guo Jiefang behind him and said, "What's going on? Old Guo, you're saying something..."

Guo Jiefang heard Niu Jianjun's voice. He neither dared to look back nor move around, for fear that he would accidentally lead the monster under the ice to break out of the ice, which would be really troublesome! People are all strange creatures, and their fear of unknown things often leads to natural curiosity!

Guo Jiefang slowly moved the torch, illuminating the shadow he cast on the tomb wall. He plucked up his courage and wanted to take a look at the terrifying eyes just now! Only then did he realize that the owner of those eyes turned out to be just a painted portrait on the tomb wall...!

The portrait depicts a young woman with a flying skirt, a quiet face, a bright eyes, and a somewhat similar appearance to Liu Lili. Although the mural has been going on for thousands of years and is mottled in oil, the outline of the eyebrows and eyes is still vaguely visible!

When Guo Jiefang saw this, he couldn't help laughing and even scolded himself for being timid, which scared himself to death. He said to himself: "Everyone says that it is true that suspicion is a dark ghost!"

When Guo Jiefang saw that there were no corpses and ghosts under the ice, he felt relieved and looked at the murals on the wall carefully. He saw the woman on the murals riding on the clouds and mist, and thought it was a god, but he could not guess who was sacred!

Guo Jiefang was watching and Huang Yaju asked him from behind, "Old Guo, what are you looking at in front?" Guo Jiefang turned around and waved to everyone, asking them all to come over.

Everyone walked closer and saw that it was just a reflection on the ice surface, not a haunted person! Guo Jiefang asked everyone to look at the murals under the ice, and the four of them discovered that there were pictures under the ice layer.

The four of them held torches, looked at each mural and a mural carefully. They saw that the young woman depicted on the mural was sometimes radiating her feet, wearing a copper bell, holding a Nuo drum in her hand, dancing around the fire, and sometimes kneeling to worship the mountains, rivers and rivers, praying for sacrifice! The bloodiest thing was a picture of killing and sacrifice. The people in the picture looked sad, and their hands were tied back. They were cut and cut by the young woman, and sacrificed to the stone platform. The ground was blood flowing and the pestle was floating, and the crowds were surging!

The remaining few murals depict a woman gathering wood ** and ascending in the sun, as if a metaphor for a woman becoming an immortal after her death and going to the Pure Land!

The five people looked at each one by one and couldn't help but feel suspicious!

Niu Jianjun couldn't help but ask Guo Jiefang and said, "Old Guo, what do the paintings on this mural mean?"

Huang Yaju said: "The painting on this mural is likely to be the life scene of the tomb owner! The young woman on the mural may be the owner of this ancient tomb!"

Niu Jianjun disagreed and said, "Nonsense! Have you ever seen a dead man who ascended to ascend?"

Maruyama suddenly spoke a bunch of Japanese in excitement. Guo Jiefang asked Huang Yaju and said, "Old Huang, what did this white-haired old Japanese man say? Why did he suddenly become so excited?"

Huang Yaju translated: "Maruyama said that he seemed to know whose tomb this is!"

Everyone was very interested when they heard this and asked Maruyama, whose tomb was this? Maruyama said and said, "Do you still remember the bronze bottle? After my friend identified it, he thought it was a sacrificial instrument from the Liao Dynasty. When you look at the pictures on the tomb wall, they depicted the scene of the shaman offering sacrifices to heaven and earth at that time. In other words, the owner of this tomb is probably the young female shaman in the mural!"

Niu Jianjun said in surprise: "How could a shaman be a woman?"

Guo Jiefang explained: "What's so strange about this? In ancient times, most shamans were served by women. This is probably a remnant of a matriarchal clan society!"

Huang Yaju asked again: "So how to explain the subsequent murals? Could that woman really ascend in the daytime?"

Maruyama shook his head and said, "According to historical records, the female shaman did not survive at all, so of course it is even more impossible for him to ascend in the daytime!"

Guo Jiefang said strangely: "The Liao Dynasty lasted for hundreds of years, how did you know which shaman she was?"

Maruyama smiled and said, "The scale of this tomb is so large that in the entire history of the Liao Dynasty, there is only one person who can enjoy such respect after his death. She should be Yu Lujiu, the sister of Liao Taizu. Because she is a shaman Taiwu of the Liao Kingdom, she was called the August goddess at that time. Legend has it that she has been gifted since she was born and has a pair of ghost eyes. No matter who she takes a look at, she will turn into a stone figurine in an instant!"

Li Yuanchao stretched his neck and swallowed, and asked, "So powerful? Then how could she die?"

Maruyama replied: "It is said that she was fighting for the throne with her nephew and was poisoned to death! Legend has it that in order to prevent the resurrection of the goddess Aogu, the new emperor buried her body, head, and soul in three places. Unexpectedly, after thousands of years of Canghai Mountain Field, this bloody history was revealed to us...!"

Niu Jianjun slapped the teeth and said, "I said to you, don't you find that the woman on this mural looks like?"

Everyone said in unison: "Liu Lili?"

Niu Jianjun nodded and said, "No, right! The people above are so similar to Liu Lili! What do you think is going on? Is this just a coincidence?"

Guo Jiefang said: "I think things are far from as simple as we imagined. Fatty Niu, do you still remember the Khitan tomb we entered? There is also this woman on the mural. Do you see if it is exactly the same as her?"

Upon hearing this, Niu Jianjun raised his head to look at the agile woman on the mural. He didn't know if he didn't look at it. This look scared him!

It turned out that at some point, the woman under the ice layer gradually changed slightly! The oil paint unknowingly blew up under the ice layer, and the woman's face also changed from round to pointed, turning into a furry fox head, eyes turned into an inch of inverted triangles, and white hair grew over an inch of it all over her body! A row of fangs appeared in her mouth, her body turned into a snake body, and her fingernails burst out...!

All this happened in an instant. When everyone was alert, the deformed woman suddenly poked her hand out from under the ice, grabbed Huang Yaju's arm, and pulled her into the tomb wall with all her might!

Huang Yaju was so scared that she screamed and struggled desperately, but suddenly, Huang Yaju was completely unprepared and was pulled by a monster with fox-faced and snake-body on the mural, and half of her body was pulled into the wall!

Guo Jiefang reacted very quickly. He threw away the torch, hugged Huang Yaju's waist, and hugged Huang Yaju hard! Niu Jianjun and Maruyama also came back to the gods at this time and rushed up to help.

Niu Jianjun and Maruyama grabbed Huang Yaju's arms left and right. The three of them used their strength to pull Huang Yaju back from the tomb wall!

Huang Yaju almost died of breath in the tomb wall, and there was a black and blue finger mark on his right wrist. After the three of them pulled Huang Yaju out, they immediately retreated to the safe area. Niu Jianjun asked Guo Jiefang with lingering fear, "What is the thing inside the tomb wall just now? Why are there a snake's body and a fox's head?" He saw that everyone was not talking, so he asked Huang Yaju, "What did you see when you were pulled into the tomb wall by that thing...?"

Huang Yaju trembled all over and replied, "The wall is very dark, I can't see anything! I just feel that it's much colder inside than outside, as if I'm coming to another space, and the monster's hands are also as cold as ice. At that time, I thought it was over this time, but I didn't expect it...!"

Guo Jiefang comforted Huang Yaju and said, "Old Huang, don't be afraid. Even if the sky falls, Fatty Niu and I will be with us!" After that, he winked at Fatty Niu and said, "Let's go over and take a look!"

The two raised the torch and slowly walked to the tomb wall. After a closer look, there was no monster with a fox head and snake body? The pictures on the tomb wall were mottled and there was nothing suspicious about it! The two of them became more and more shocked and thought to themselves: "This ancient tomb is indeed a weird place, so it's better to go out from here as soon as possible!"
