Chapter 254: The Eerie Underworld
Chen Tianyun was careful, he saw that my face was very bad, and encouraged me softly: "Don't be afraid, this kind of word with a warning meaning is a common trick in the ancient tomb, don't let it defeat yourself." Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
Compared with my ancestor's slippery head and casualness, Chen Tianyun will show that kind of approachable intimacy after the majesty, he is still full of firmness under the shroud of such a terrifying shadow, I can't see any fear in his eyes, that kind of strong heart, people are admired, but also make my fragile heart float a trace of precious security.
I sighed, and asked him weakly and a little frustratedly: "We are in danger now, there are too many enemies, Chen Zhangshi, are you really not afraid at all?" In fact, I have always wanted to know, like the old ancestor, the little Taoist, and the characters like Chen Tiancheng, can they really be unmoved in the face of death, and the clouds are light? If so, then for me, it is really some kind of encouragement to reduce pressure, because the emotions of the people around me are easy to infect each other.
However, Chen Tianyun's answer was beyond my expectations: "To be honest, I am scared to death, but I will not run, because this is what I have been pursuing all my life, and once I stop, I will have nothing to do, empty to barren." As he said the last few words, he looked back at me seriously.
I didn't expect him to say such emotional things to me, but these words are the best medicine against the fear of the virus in my body.
We are all mortals, mortals will be afraid in the face of darkness, will feel empty, but the journey has begun, others can bear it, why can't I? Our fate is tied up in the ancient tomb, maybe as Chen Zhangshi said, we have experienced all kinds of dangers, that kind of stimulation will deprive us of life, when I return to peace, I will not be able to adapt. It's like those American GIs who have returned home from the war zone, they don't know what to do, they are confused, they are stuck.
Thinking of the boundless sense of desolation, I gradually calmed down, and those words of warning slowly dispelled in my heart. Chen Tianyun cautiously leaned out and looked into the archway, where it was gloomy, and the faint smoke was swirling, like ghosts floating in white, and in it, some curves could be seen, and they were the ugly corpses that had stopped walking.
On the other side, Ba Jian was also observing the movement inside, he listened with his ears pricked up, and after listening for a while, he hissed to us: "It seems to be a big ...... inside."
Before he could finish speaking, Baocai, who was cowering behind him, covered his mouth and complained, "You are crazy!
Bajian choked him impatiently and said, "Can you not make such a fuss all the time!"
Between the words, Chen Tianyun hurriedly made a silent gesture to the two, everyone held their breath and listened, and in the darkness in front of them came the kind of broken thoughts, like the sound of a monk chanting, I carefully distinguished, and then my heart sank - it was a mantra. (Chanting may calm people's minds, but the frequency and weirdness of the mantras can make people feel unnatural, as if they are bound by ropes.)
I followed Chen Tianyun to look inside cautiously, and as far as we could see, there was a figure standing on a platform, and the fire flowed from the figure, and at first glance it was the great master slaughtering evil spirits. As I had guessed before, it was about to preside over this feast of the devil, but the scene was so dark that we couldn't see anything around it except it, and we didn't know what the place was in front of the arch, but it felt empty.
Just as we were staring hard to discern the scene in the darkness, the ethereal bell suddenly "popped", the sound was infinitely loud, and with that echo effect, the feeling was like a sound wave, and it hit our brains one by one, and the feeling of dizziness suddenly came out, and I covered my head and couldn't help but moan. Chen Tianyun and the little Taoist priest also lowered their bodies, and everyone's face was written with unspeakable pain.
The magic sound was in the ears, some things could not be explained by normal science, in that indescribable dull feeling, Chen Tianyun reluctantly stood up, the bell did not continue, we came to life, and at the same time, the picture that absolutely shocked us appeared in front of our eyes.
I shuddered, as if I had fallen into an ice pool, behind the arch, as Bajian said, a huge place, how big? I can't describe it, maybe as big as a football field, but if you have to extend to the side, it doesn't stop, it's like the underground of another world, empty, depressed, dark and gloomy.
The faint sand was blown up by a layer of wind, and the smoke turned the place into an eerie dungeon where the stone demons in "A Chinese Ghost Story" were located, and they were hidden in the unclear void.
Where there are no living people, everything seems ghostly, horror penetrates deep into the bone marrow, cold sweat is dripping, and we stand helplessly on the spot.
The demonic great master stood on a high platform, which was made of the accumulation of white bones of the forest, and there was a rectangular thing on it, and when you looked closely, it was a huge, silent coffin. There is a shelf around the coffin, and on the two corners of the shelf are abrupt statues of human-faced ghosts, which are extremely ugly, and have a hideous feeling that will come out of the shelf at any time and attack people.
The red and white cloth strips on the shelf fluttered, soft with a hint of yin, in the middle of the shelf is the copper bell that has stopped shaking, there is a long braid hanging under the bell, there seems to be something colorful on the braid, I took a deep breath, I don't know what symbolism this has, but the scene is absolutely weird, so weird that people can't move.
A dark place, just like the eighties and nineties martial arts movies played in the scene of many masters of the decisive battle, in that huge field, I saw in the dark corner, silent "Charizard Tree", I remember that when I was on the "Prayer Tower" before, the little Taoist priest once said that this forest is arranged with four elephants, we entered the ancient tomb in the Qinglong Land, and the "Charizard Tree" means Vermilion Bird, that is, this place is the land of Vermilion Bird? I took a deep breath, and some kind of near-truth answer came to my mind, and the people of Loulan finally chose their place of eternal rest. Thinking of this, I turned my eyes to the little Taoist priest on the other side, who seemed to be thinking about this problem as well, and there was a tacit affirmation in his eyes.
From darkness to being able to see, mainly due to the sudden change after the ringing of the bell, there was a light here, not a fire, but a strange death light that came inexplicably, like a bleak moonlight, not bright, but enough to make us see clearly what existed in the open field.
