Chapter 351: The Dungeon (3)
Holding his head and groaning, his eyes were bloodshot, his eyes were on me and Sanzang, but he thought that he had crossed the unknown that we were looking at. After a long while, he slowly came to his senses, and controlled himself not to turn his head to look at the stone wall, "What is that stripe?" ”
"It should be the totem left behind by the people who built this place. Although I don't know clearly, the principle is very simple, it is hypnosis, so that your consciousness gradually falls into the imaginary world it creates. Look at that! As he spoke, he pointed to the corpse on the ground.
It was a male corpse, and when the three of us rushed over, he had not yet lost his breath, and the previous 'hmm' sound was that he was whispering. When Sanzang and I came to our senses and wanted to see how he was doing, we found that this person had bled from seven orifices and his soul had returned to his hometown. Seeing that he is not very old, nine times out of ten he is a student led by Professor Ge, and when he encounters this stone wall, he happens to take a look, but he is completely hypnotized and falls into the world that does not exist.
Xiao Jiu patted his chest with some fear, his eyes were confused, "Just now, I saw the lush and vast land like the primitive era in a trance, and when I looked down, I found that I had leaves tied around my waist and a stone axe in my hand. I didn't know where I was, but I watched countless frightened expressions flash before my eyes, strange faces with hair left due to incomplete evolution, and countless strange faces fled in terror to the depths of the forest.
The forest was so tall that it towered into the sky. But those panicked faces just fled to their final destination. I saw with my own eyes that the beast-shapes, who had been lying in ambush in the forest for a long time, swarmed out with spears in hand, wantonly striking these poor creatures that had fallen into the trap. The splash of red blood splashed on my face and blinded my eyes. A great crowd of beast-like soldiers swarmed, and they were so numerous that they were like black ants that came out of the ground, when in fact they did come out of the ground. Beneath the tall roots of the trees towering into the sky were the lairs of these beast-shapeds, their metal spears so sharp that they drank the blood of the intruding ape-man descendants.
Piles of corpses fell at my feet, and the sound of the wails of the sky shook the heavens and the earth, and my scalp was numb. It was at this time that I suddenly realized that I was also one of these strange-faced apes!
The rest of the clan were forced into a corner by the spears, and the remnants could only tremble, and kept kneeling on the ground and kowtowing and begging for mercy.
The sharp metal spear tip pierced the ape-man's back, and I staggered forward with a bitter wail. The beast-shapers who escorted us were brutal and vicious, beating us up and forcing us barefoot through a thicket of thistles. I could clearly see that where I passed, there was a path of red and piercing blood, and all the apes were in despair.
After being escorted away by those brutal beast-shaped soldiers, I gradually began to forget that I was actually Tang Xiaojiu, and I only knew that I was a victim of a chosen, a prisoner. My flesh and blood will be sacrificed to the evil spirits in the darkness, and the faster I go, the faster I will be liberated, and then almost all of them will run mad in a frenzy. I was taken into the beast-like lair, a world that was so strange to me, the strange stones, the criss-crossing underground paths, the cold wind of the earth, and the terrible whimpering sound of the air as it passed through the hollows of the earth, all of which made me feel terrified and lost.
The beasts pressed us captives and stood on a high altar. The altar was built on the water's edge, and the underground pools beside it were so deep and cold that something terrible was wriggling in the water, and only the warm blood of our sacrifices could calm the restless state of mind. Why is it upset? I don't know the answer, but I do know that the terrible jet-black thing in the waterhole has been waiting for us, for a long, long time.
The crook of my leg was struck with a spear, and I fell to my knees feebly under the mysterious totem of the altar. The mysterious and ancient totem with the glyphs has a terrifying power. I seem to see the water waves rotating into a whirlpool, the whirlpool I see, but it is completely different from the water surface ripples anywhere in the world, the water surface ripples in the normal state are ripple-shaped, the big trap is small, the small circle becomes a large circle, the ripple energy gradually decreases with the expansion of the area, and finally tends to calm down. In my eyes, the ripples on the water surface have formed a three-dimensional ripple with layers and gradients, and the speed of the ripple is uniform when it rotates, and the energy is uniform, although it is constantly fluctuating, the shape of the ripple is always unchanged, I feel that I am in a state of delirium lost soul, but the feeling and memory are extremely sensitive.
In the time I was in a daze, my hands and feet had been bound to the octagonal sacrifice by the ferocious beast-shaped man, and in this deep underground world, no one would come to save me, waiting for the ground to despair, and I could even feel the pain. But it was the pain that awakened my will to live, and I thought I was going to get out of here, and then I didn't know anything. When I opened my eyes, I saw you. ”
Xiao Jiu held his head and recalled the bizarre picture he had seen, this memory was so real, as if he had spent thousands of years there. For a while, he couldn't tell which one was real.
"Tang Xiaojiu, cheer up, those are all illusions, they are fake! These stripes are so strange that as soon as a person's eyes come into contact with them, they will be involuntarily attracted to them, and eventually they will only lose themselves and fall into a hypnotic state. Don't deliberately think about those fantasies you see, just think that we are going to find Wang Yiming now, so as not to drive yourself crazy! Sanzang poked Xiao Jiu's shoulder.
"You don't have to pay too much attention to it, the hallucinations you see are all things we saw when we came all the way, it is precisely because of what we have just experienced, the impression is deep, and the fear will be infinitely magnified, and finally become the scenes you see, just look at this, don't think about it anymore!" I also comforted him a few words, this kind of thing is not handled well, once it gets into the horns of the bull, it is really in danger of becoming a madman.
