Chapter 22: The Red Blind Man
I was so excited that I immediately looked at the wall, and saw that the tomb was painted with a strange bird that looked like a bat, but unlike bats, its neck was very long, about twice the size of its body, and its head was very small, which looked strange. I look at the past one by one, the story probably says, this strange bird originally lived in the extreme arctic cold land, and then for some reason had to move south in large numbers, on the way, many strange birds could not stand the hot weather in the south and died in large numbers, and the small part that survived was also blinded by the heat wave, three years and five years, spring to autumn, after several natural selections, there are very few strange birds that survived, they stretched their necks in unison and wailed to the sky, the momentum was as big as thunder.
I gradually began to have some clues in my heart, the ground in the underground river, the small snake carrying the sedan chair in the water, and the long-necked strange bird with a sound like huge thunder...... These reliefs in the burial chamber seem to be unrelated, but in fact there is a lot of logic, and then related to the direction where these burial chambers are located, if I am not mistaken, they should correspond to the Bagua Palace in the eight directions. Kun is the ground, so the corresponding relief is the earth that never sees the light of day, and it is Ze, which corresponds to the small snakes that carry the sedan chair, and the earthquake is thunder, and the corresponding is the long-necked strange bird with a sound like thunder, and those ghost monkeys who live in the mountain stream, Gen is the mountain, which should be the Gen Palace...... I marked these exotic beasts one by one in the corresponding directions, but when I marked them, I found that something was wrong.
The first tomb we went to was located in the northeast of the Gen Palace, it stands to reason that what should be seen is the ghost monkey, but the wall is painted in the southwest of the Kun Palace, and the second tomb we went to, is the southwest of the Kun Palace, what can be seen is the small snake that should be located in the west of the palace, the same, my current position is in the west, but what I see is the long-necked strange bird located in the east of the earthquake palace, this is too illogical, but also too incredible, how can there be such a discrepancy in the north? Or was my assumption wrong from the beginning?
I thought about it again, in fact, it is not impossible to verify this hypothesis, I looked at the chessboard, but the price is not easy to estimate. Master often said that there is always a price to be paid for everything, and to put it bluntly, it is a kind of trade-off, since I want to know the truth of the matter, this is a take, and accordingly I must give up one thing, it may be the fear in my heart, or it may be ...... It's my ears.
I made up my mind, I tore off two gauze balls and stuffed them in my ears, damn it, what's the big deal, isn't it to become Beethoven, I think back then, Lao Tzu was still the leader of the school choir, it's a big deal to go back to the old business! Thinking about it, I took out the mountaineering rope in my bag, wrapped one end around my elbow, and made a live buckle at the other end, I grabbed the dagger tightly in my other hand, retreated to the corner, stared at the ghost head closest to me, and smashed it at it after a few laps of the live buckle in my hand, I stared motionlessly, as soon as the rope touched the hair of the human ghost's head, the chessboard cracked a thin slit in response, and said that it was too late and that was fast, only to see a mass of gray things squeezed out of the crack in the ground, it was really squeezed out, first the head the size of an egg, Then there's the slender neck, covered with dark gray fur, which looks soft and smooth, and think about the feel, hey, it's fucking disgusting...... I involuntarily took two steps back, and suddenly my body itched uncomfortably, it felt like there were countless mice dancing square dancing against my flesh, and I couldn't stop rubbing against the wall, I reached out to scratch it, and the flesh was scratched, but it was still itchy badly.
At this time, there was a sudden flash of red light in front of me, and I saw that these long-necked strange birds had flown out one after another, and small red dots the size of soybeans lit up one after another on the egg-sized head, and soon a dense red giant net was woven on the roof of the tomb. I looked at it, and couldn't help but gasp, goosebumps instantly rose on my back, the little red dot the size of a soybean is actually the eyes of this strange bird, my grandma, why the hell is pink eye? I rubbed my eyes vigorously, and when I opened them again, I saw that the damn Red Blind Army was really a red blind army, and I saw that those thin necks were swelling up like blowing balloons at this time, and the more they blew up, the bigger and bigger, and some of them even had their flesh and skin transparent, and they continued to puff up, as if they were trying to do something.
I suddenly felt a sigh in my heart, damn, isn't this trying to force me? At this moment, the breath in one of the big necks suddenly loosened, and before I could react to what was going on, a scream that pierced my eardrum exploded in an instant, and the cry was as thin as a baby's cry but as loud as thunder, which shook my eardrums and made my eardrums hurt, and I reflexively plugged my ears, damn it, it didn't help at all! More and more red blind men began to agitate their necks to deflate, and the cries followed one after another, and I tried my best to plug my ears with my hands, but the sound was like sticking directly to my eardrums, and if this continued, I would really be a fucking Beethoven.
At this moment, I vaguely saw two slender things crawling up from the cracks in the ground, and I felt a sigh in my heart. I saw them slowly raise their heads, one looking at the red blind man on the top of the tomb, and the other looking at me.
