Golden Forbidden Land: I am at the highest level, exploring the secrets of immortality

The woodshed is filled with piles of dry firewood.

And there are some pens built with wood around them. Generally, in the countryside, they are used to raise livestock such as pigs, cattle and sheep, which is easy to manage. However, there is still a vague smell at this time, so it will be left here for a short time.

However, we searched everywhere and found no trace of anyone.

"Could we have seen it wrong?"

I asked.

I kept rummaging through the firewood. They were all cut from the mountains, so there was nothing strange about them.

"It doesn't make sense."

"It turns out there is something else going on here."

I suddenly opened a piece of wood and found that there was an entrance inside the firewood pile, and the entrance was very large, like there was a small space behind the woodshed.

We quickly got in.

this……

It seems to be a cave dwelling.

It's strange that this is not a high loess slope like the Northwest. How could someone build a cave dwelling behind their own yard?

Moreover, this cave dwelling has several floors.

What we are standing at the bottom is a pile of charcoal fire. The firewood should have been burned into charcoal and piled at the bottom. Could it be a kiln?

I couldn't help but be dumbfounded. There is no record of porcelain being produced here, and most of the porcelain and pottery around here were brought in from outside the mountains. And if such a large cave dwelling can really produce things, then the pottery produced in each cave dwelling can be used by almost the entire village. It is completely self-sufficient, so why bother bringing it in from outside?

So this should be a decoration, not a kiln.

It looks like a pagoda below, circling around the net. At the top, it seems that there are many stone gates around it.

Those stone gates have distinct outlines.

"What are these for?"

I asked.

Xiao Zhang also looked confused. He tried hard to push the door open with both hands, but it was useless. The door seemed to be fixed on top.

"No wonder..."

Xiao Zhang suddenly saw a circle of something on the edge of the door. After a closer look, it turned out that it was really molten iron melted on it, and it was wrapped along the door circle.

So no matter how hard you try, you can't open it.

We kept walking forward and saw more than ten doors one after another around us.

"Is there an ulterior secret hidden in this?"

I asked.

There were oil lamps around the cave, so we could see clearly. There were ventilation holes all around, so air could come in.

"Let's go, there's something else ahead."

Finally, we circled up, and the places where the ground was originally covered with dirt were actually covered with steps.

We slowly went up the steps and saw many lifelike pictures on the four walls of the cave dwelling.

Those scenes are all from Journey to the West.

"Three dozen white-bone demons?"

When I saw those lifelike strokes, I thought I was walking into a museum.

"Black Chicken Country?"

Not only that, there are many pictures, but these pictures are all related to the demons and monsters in Journey to the West, and have no connection with the gods and Buddhas.

"monster?"

I suddenly thought of what Sledgehammer said to us.

Do all the monsters he talks about come from here? We walked forward cautiously, and all the people in front of us were the so-called monsters, all of them grinning. Especially in such a relatively dark place, they looked particularly weird, as if they would jump out of the wall the next moment.

"Why do I feel like I'm getting more and more evil?"

As Xiao Zhang walked further, cold sweat broke out on his head.

"We are not entering a century of monsters."

I said half-jokingly.

"There seems to be something wrong up front."

I found that there was a very flat place at the front of the cave. It was a square platform with steps all around leading to the middle.

But there are actually six stone statues in front.

Each stone statue is tied to a pillar, like a sacrificial platform, and there is an ax hanging on top of the pillar, which seems to fall at any time. Then, the ax will fall directly back on the stone statue due to gravity. on the head.

The stone statue will be smashed.

Right in front of those stone statues, there is a pot.

There were still some things burning inside, emitting bursts of stench, which was very unpleasant.

"Why do I feel like something is wrong?"

Xiao Zhang asked me.

"how?"

I answered.

"this……"

"Ahem!"

Suddenly, just as we were discussing what to do, a cough suddenly woke us up. It turned out that a person walked out of the darkness.

The man was wearing a black and white mask.

The mask turned out to be the monster from Journey to the West, the head of the White Bone Demon.

"Ahem..."

The man looked a little stooped when he walked, and he looked as if he might collapse at any moment. He must be very old.

"Welcome to the place that belongs to me. How about it? Doesn't my masterpiece look good?"

He seemed very satisfied with his creation. It turned out that the entire cave dwelling and the layout inside were his own masterpiece.
