Chapter 27: The Mirror of the Afterlife
The swaying shadows of the water around the pool are cast on the walls, like another space suspended in the monument. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Jiang Bai raised his hand upward, blocked Xu Thrush, who wanted to continue running, and looked around. This is not the same as before, there are many sources of fire in the temple, the light is extremely bright, and there is no shadow of the stone bed to hide. If you rashly run in and grab the black copper coffin in the pool, you will definitely attract countless ghosts hiding in the fire.
The devil knows what those things are trying to do with the living.
Xu Thrush patted his head, as if he had thought of some idea, and ran back with his steps, and when he came back, he held two huge animal skins in his hands, which had been hung on the wall of Orion's house before.
"Brother Xiaojiang, have you ever been to the deep mountains and old forests of northeast Tibet?"
Jiang Bai was confused: "No." Have you been? ”
Xu Yin shook his head: "No." ”
Jiang Bai's brain hurt when he heard this, and he kept silently thinking in his heart, the world is so beautiful, I can't be so irritable, rubbing my temples with both hands.
"But I've heard the legends there. Orions, fishermen, forest keepers, and the like like all like to wear animal skins, on the one hand, to protect themselves from the cold, and on the other hand, the remnants of animal energy on animal skins can hide people's anger and make those animals think that they are of the same kind, so as to protect themselves from being attacked. ”
As Xu Yu spoke, he had already wrapped the white-tiger skin around his body and posed with what he thought was very stylish: "Brother Xiaojiang, look, I don't look like a mountain eagle galloping through the mountains and forests back then?" ”
"Hmm. It's quite like a seat, stupid carving. ”
Xu Yu was used to Jiang Bai choking with him, and he was not angry, so he threw another piece of tiger skin over.
Legend is legend, even if it is wrong, no one will really care about anything, but the current problem is different, if you make a mistake, you may have to be buried here. A lot of time has passed, Luo Cheng and Liang Zhen may have been waiting at the door for a long time, and it would be undignified if they didn't hurry up on their side.
After all, I am the first street grass on Tsing Box Street!
The two dressed in animal skins took a sneaky step forward, and the lights immediately reflected the grotesque shadows of the two of them. Suddenly, a shadow appeared in the light, and a humanoid ghost figure walked out and slowly approached the two.
Xu Thrush trembled with fright, almost wanting to retreat. Jiang Bai was also sweating profusely, but he tightly pulled Xu Yu's collar with both hands to prevent him from ruining his plan, and stood in place waiting for the strange shadow to approach.
The shadow shook a few times, and was suddenly lengthened and shortened by the light, and in an instant it was in front of it. After a few casual touches, he suddenly lost interest, and before the color faded, the shadow returned to the firelight.
The two of them breathed a sigh of relief, took advantage of the victory, and quickly walked towards the pool.
The pool is circular, but judging by the shadow of the water reflected on the wall, the bottom should be square, and it seems that there is still a lot of stuff in it.
"Eh, Brother Xiao Jiang, look at those shaking things, aren't they human?"
Jiang Bai wanted to scold him, he was always a human and a ghost, and he was not scary, but he couldn't help but look at the water shadow a few more times. I thought it was just a wave of water, but when I got closer, I realized that there were indeed small people walking inside. The intertwined shadows form a variety of buildings, and the whole pool is like a dynamic city picture.
Jiang Bai went to the Shanghai World Expo in 10 years, and at that time, a moving picture of the Qingming River attracted a lot of people's attention, what is it called, it seems to be a 3D dynamic projection. But there should not have been such technology in a place thousands of years ago.
The two of them continued to walk forward in confusion, and the huge pool was empty, only a pool of clear water, holding a round island in the middle, on which was the black copper coffin.
There are many small rings around the black copper, and each small ring is wearing a red thread, densely pulled to the edge of the pool, and tied to the copper bells around it, which always makes people feel like something is sealed in the pool.
"Brass bells. This thing is very evil.,It's said that the bell can summon spirits.,It's not a good thing to run into it.,I think we'd better withdraw first.。 Xu Thrush began to retreat.
"I see that the tray in the pool fits very well with the black copper coffin, and it is very likely that it was taken out from here, and now it is a little difficult to take it away from its original owner. Why don't you go talk to Xiaowei and them first, and then talk about it? ”
"Yes, yes! That's what I mean. ”
The two made up their minds and decided to retreat as advance and go out first. Xu Thrush ran in from a secret passage, ready to take Jiang Bai out of there. As soon as the two of them turned around, they suddenly heard a crisp sound of "jingle bell".
The bell sound is pleasant, but it sounds like a life-threatening urge, Jiang Bai and Xu Thrush seem to have been flicked from the back, their bodies are scolded, and the hairs on their bodies stand on end, and they immediately turned around to see who was dialing the copper bell by the pool.
If you don't look at it, you can see that the animal skin you are wearing is scorched and withered at some point, and the two figures, one tall and one thin, are suddenly projected on the wall, and a black shadow comes out of the firelight, stretching out her hand, making the shadow of the copper bell.
I saw that the ghost figure was getting thicker and thicker, as if it had changed from a thin piece to a layer of substance, and gradually, it actually came out of the wall and moved in the direction of the two of them.
There was no hiding place here, and there were more and more figures in the firelight, all of them standing up from the walls, like black ghosts, and the outlines of their facial features were also showing little by little.
"Going to die, going to die! The demon has come back to life through the vitality of man! Brother Xiaojiang, what should I do! ”
"What to do? Run! ”
The exit had been blocked, and the ghosts were becoming more and more ghostly, surrounding them, and the two had no way to escape, but to move closer to the pool. Seeing that those monsters were about to approach the pool, Jiang Bai didn't stop doing anything, simply stepped on those red lines, and walked towards the island in the center.
"Fatty! Take the red line! Very fast! ”
Xu Yu hesitated for a moment, closed his eyes and stepped on it. The brass bells around were jingled, and the entire palace suddenly burst into a chaotic and piercing ringing sound.
The ghost chased to a halt at the edge of the pool, seemingly unable to get close to the brass bells. The two of them stretched out their arms to keep their balance, and the two sides froze there for a moment.
Xu Thrush's eyes stared at the clear water in front of him without blinking, and suddenly found that his image was very clear, and then looked forward, but there was a piece missing from the bottom of the island, and suddenly he understood.
"Brother Xiao Jiang, this ...... This is the mirror of the afterlife......"
At this moment, Jiang Bai was jealous of the ghosts around him, and he didn't have the heart to listen to him: "What a mirror of death." ”
Xu Thrush swallowed his saliva and continued to observe. Sure enough, there were many characters carved into the stone walls inside the pool. The mirror of the past is said to be one of the many mirrors in ancient times, which can reflect the past and present lives of people, and even stop the things that are illuminated at that moment. However, the mirror usually needs to be sealed with a spell to prevent everything it illuminates from coming to a standstill.
If you don't stick it so close, it's hard to find that the island is actually empty. Is it possible that when Master Yuan was making the black copper coffin, he made this black copper island by the way? I remember that there were a few mirrors in the bronze coffin, and now it seems that they can fit just in the blank space.
Xu Thrush suddenly realized.
