Chapter 25: The murals on the two doors(1/2)
The stone carvings are carved lifelike, but the one or two points that are not similar are still due to the material, so they cannot be completely consistent.
On the stone sculpture, there were no traces of being frightened by these horror things on Yu Xing's face, but a little disgusted with charm, as if he had only helplessness and repulsion for the existence of these things.
From this point of view alone, the character of this statue is quite consistent with Yu Xing.
But because of this, Yu Xing felt a little strange. He felt that the environment was familiar on the ground because the forest above was very similar to the forest in the coffin village, so he had a premonition that there would be a ancestral hall here.
But Yu Xing had no impression of this underground space. He was sure that he had never been here before.
When was the sculpture made?
He reached out with some confusion, and his pale fingers touched the surface of the sculpture without rubbing too much dust.
When he was just playing the stone sculpture, his palms were not too dirty, which means that the sculpture not only didn’t last long, but also didn’t last long.
Not long ago, someone built a sculpture for Yu Xing here?
Yu Xing felt incredible. Logically speaking, the only people who know him in the Chongyin Mountain range are Carlos, Aili, and Poetry.
Regardless of other possible deducers, he can't think of any leisure and leisure for a while, and the key to creating this thing here is that it is very well carved, and it is obvious that it is someone with artistic skills.
All those who may know him should be on the surface now.
……wrong.
There is a problem.
time.
Yu Xing remembered that after coming out of the black coffin, he had no idea of time.
He didn't know how long he had been lying in the black coffin. Perhaps it was not what he thought was a few minutes, but a day or two?
It is very likely that some special mechanism of the black coffin caused him not to feel hungry, so he mistakenly thought that time was short.
In the past or two days, other teams have found the entrance to the tomb palace and have you been here?
Not sure...
"..." A hidden doubt arose between Yu Xing's eyebrows. He suppressed all the thoughts in his heart and moved his hand to the head of the statue.
The statue has only the head without any obstacles, and is very complete, just like the corpses in the coffins on the stone wall. I don’t know what the special meaning of the head in the tomb palace is.
He pressed the stone carved head that was almost waiting for him with his hand, looked at his face that was very similar to him, and gradually exerted his fingers.
The cave was not open just now, and only the gravel statues could move at the door, so Yu Xing guessed that after putting together the stone statues, he could get a mechanism to open the real road from the stone statues.
If the mechanism really exists, it will only be the head... The prompt is already very obvious.
He moved his fingers, turning the stone statue's head to one side as if he was twisting his neck.
It's strange. When I was just pruning the stone statue, my head was divided into several half. As a result, when it was rotated, there was no clot at all, as if it was completely natural.
As the head of the stone statue was "twisted", the sound of mechanical movement came from the inside of the stone statue. Yu Xing looked at himself, who had "broken neck" indifferently, and took two steps back.
His feet vibrated, like an earthquake. Yu Xing squatted down slightly and stabilized his body. When the vibration finally stopped, he looked at something nearby and changed.
The stone wall is still a stone wall, and the cave is still a cave. At first glance, it seems that there is no difference.
But there was a faint light coming from the cave.
Yu Xing raised his eyes, threw down the stone statue that made him uncomfortable, and walked back into the cave.
This time, the cave seemed to have been expanded, and the stone walls around it retreated nearly half a meter, and the stalactites were raised so that he could walk straight in.
The light kept changing, and one of the small spots flew out from the depths of the hole and landed on Yu Xing's shoulder.
It is a firefly glowing green light.
Yu Xing accelerated his pace. When he got inside, the layout inside changed the world. Stone statues stood on both sides of the road, and fireflies gathered together to bring a clear light.
The cave was illuminated by the bright light, the stone walls were shadows, and water droplets were hung on the stalactites. The shallow water beach under your feet reflected the rare bizarre and was very beautiful.
He turned off the flashlight and observed the statues.
"Interesting." Many people were reflected in Yu Xing's pupils.
These statues carve many faces he knows.
Carlos, Aili, and Sijiu, actually have statues here. In addition, Yu Xing also unexpectedly saw the statues of Ling Heng and Gui Xin.
Unexpectedly, it turned out that Ling Heng and Gui Xin also entered this deduction, and they were really destined to be together.
But isn’t Guixin already dead? Ling Heng really found a way to resurrect her? Or is it that the resurrection of the tomb palace attracted the two?
Yu Xing discovered an unexpected "acquaintance" and was a little curious. At the same time, he also saw that all the statues in the cave were similar to his statues at the entrance of the cave. They were all wrapped in bone vines and wrapped in insects and birds.
On the faces of these people, some were horrified, some were calm, and some were smiling. Yu Xing looked at Carlos specifically, and saw that Carlos's statue was holding a paper man in his hand, and there were still many lying under his feet, all covered by different ways of death.
The paper people have tasted all kinds of pain for Carlos, innocent and pitiful.
But even though the paper man consumed a lot, the statue of Carlos still had a smile on his face, just like his jumping and incomprehensible personality.
In the corner, Yu Xing found a vague sentence that had been carved on the wall for a while.
"There is gravel on the mouth, and you can only get a way out if you break the head. If you turn the wrong way, you will be eaten by a hundred insects and die."
To translate, there are broken stone sculptures at the entrance of the cave. The mechanism must turn its head to get a way out. If it is misleading once, many dead tree-like insects will eat the living people who are taking action.
Yu Xing, who had never worried that he would make a mistake in his judgment: "..."
He brushed the dust on the lines of words and thought the words were quite good.
"Since the opening of the hole is a switch, what do these statues here mean?" Yu Xing stood in front of the statue and tried to twist the neck of the statue of Carlos.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! Can't turn it.
It seems that only the cave entrance can serve as a mechanism.
Yu Xing didn't know where Carlos and others were now, maybe they had really entered the tomb palace.
He pursed his lips and walked deeper.
Just now he was walking here and was persuaded to retreat by the narrow corridor that needed to lie down. Now that the road has been completely opened, he can continue to enter.
The statues were neatly arranged, Yu Xing remembered everyone's faces, and then left the statue hall.
Further in, there was a narrow path, and several fireflies leaving the team stopped everywhere. Yu Xing walked along the road and found that he was going down.
This road is tilting downwards with a very small amplitude. If you do not have outstanding sensing capabilities, you may not be able to detect it.
The rock layer gradually became shallower. After Yu Xing walked for more than ten minutes, the ground under his feet turned into soil. He knocked along the hole walls on both sides, looking for possible mezzanines.
The soil on the ground was soaked with water and became muddy. Yu Xing's feet began to stick to each step, and it was very difficult to walk every step.
He heard a faint whisper mixed in the wind, and waves of whispers came from deeper into the cave. No, to this extent, the cave can no longer be called a cave, it is more appropriate to call it an authentic tunnel.
When he finally stopped, a stone door blocked his way.
The stone gate is about two meters high, with a story like a mural carved on the door. A hideous ghost face is painted in the middle of the door. The ghost face's eyes are looking at him coldly, and a huge mouth is wide open, like a hungry ghost.
Yu Xing knew nothing about the history of the deducing world, but he was a serious painter and still had some understanding of cultural relics such as murals.
He can easily understand the content of the mural.
On the door on the left half, there is a story about a dead tree.
A long time ago, a young woman wearing a Taoist robe on the mural got a piece of dead wood. The piece of wood was carefully protected by the woman, but everyone around her wanted to grab it.
Gradually, the people around them became greedy and sinful from their normal appearance. Their bodies gradually hunched over, their heads gradually flattened, and their fingers gradually turned into sharp claws.
These people are forced into evil spirits by the obsession in their hearts.
They came to the woman and asked the woman to hand over the piece of wood. The woman refused, so she was torn apart by these guys who could not be called human and threw them off a cliff outside the tribe.
The piece of wood finally fell into the hands of these people. A boy who loved women stole the wood and threw it off the cliff after knowing what the woman had happened to her.
Unexpectedly, the woman was resurrected again at the bottom of the cliff.
Not only did she gather her body, she also recovered her mind and sought a good place to plant the dead tree that happened to fall on her body.
Originally, the state of the dead tree had not changed at all. The woman watered the little tree in vain and made a wish at the bottom of the cliff day by day, hoping that people outside would never find her and the little tree again.
Later one day, a person fell off the cliff and blood flowed into the land under the dead tree. The tree finally began to take root and grow, and the dead tree came alive like a miracle. The woman was very happy. She knew that her resurrection was saved by this tree and regarded the tree as a god.
Since then, people have jumped off cliffs from time to time. The blood of these people has become the best nutrients for small trees. Over the years, dead trees have grown into towering trees.
The story ends here, it looks ordinary, and there is not even a ghost story exciting. But if you think about it carefully, you will find out how many people's blood does a small tree need to grow into a towering tree?
The resurrected woman should be the one who was later called the Demonic Way. She has been using the body of the fallen person as fertilizer to water her little tree. Is she really in a normal state?
This mural is mostly carved by the demon itself, or the workers invited by the demon itself. I don’t know how true or false it is. Of course, my own people will do their best to beautify the demon. Maybe those so-called "falling off the cliff" are all living people caught by the demon.
Yu Xing thought that the demon Dao was forced to death during his lifetime, and his death was tragic. After his death, he must be a fierce ghost. Once he was resurrected, she resented humans. The possibility of ferociousness was much greater than the possibility of staying under the cliff and planting trees.
Yu Xing looked to the right again, and the story of the coffin on the right was told.
As soon as he looked over, he heard a chuckle coming from behind. The laughter was very ethereal. He could clearly hear it, but he could not distinguish the sound of the sound, just like a reactor in his brain was malfunctioning and could not respond correctly.
But Yu Xing knew who the laughter came from.
It could only be the one who has been following him and peeping behind him.
This is the case again. The other party is almost only one position away from him, but whenever he wants to pull someone out, the other party will disappear instantly, like a cloud of smoke.
To be continued...
