Chapter 25: Black Hole Suspicion
Potential danger is looming silently, and a storm is coming.
With his hands tied, the curious Guanglong couldn't climb the ladder to find out. Chaoluan, who was also anxious, rushed to the ladder first.
The ladder in the crystal pillar looked very sturdy, and Chao Luan climbed several meters without difficulty. Guanglong looked around uneasily, and the rest of the people were eager to try. They won't leave Guanglong alone.
When he climbed out of more than ten meters, Chao Luan stopped and looked around the entire Great Mirror Palace blankly. He shouldn't be tired of resting. Do you still want to enjoy the scenery?
Guanglong shouted dissatisfiedly: "Hey, if you can't come, I'll do it, what are you grinding." ”
Chao Luan stared ahead and said, "I saw a stone door, which was different from what we encountered. He was looking in the opposite direction from where they had entered, behind the unexplored array of mirrors.
Behind the mirror array, there was a conspicuous stone gate, which Guanglong had never seen before.
It is not surprising that Guanglong and the Sick Master fought on one side and less on the other, and had never explored the edges, so they did not find the obvious gate. This is enough to explain the grandeur of the mirror array.
But it takes some skill to think about it, and the mirrors over there are all intact, unless you destroy the mirror array again?
Whether it's to climb the ladder to the top of the mountain, or to venture out into the stone gate. They all looked at Yipinlan at the same time. She knows the New World best, is good at observation, and has already become the leader of the people.
Yi Pinlan ordered: "Let's go into Shimen for the night, maybe we will get something." ”
Now it is nearly dusk, the sun is thin, and the mirror of the Great Mirror Palace is gradually losing its luster, and it is about to fall asleep. None of them wanted to spend the night in front of a cold mirror, and they had to have nightmares at night.
But how to get out of the mirror array, they will definitely get lost in it.
At this time, Jin Lao said to Chaoluan at the top of his voice: "Can you let me see, you come down first." ”
When the old man went up, he climbed slowly step by step, staring at the mirror array for a long time in a daze. They don't have a bottom, can Jin Lao see through the mystery of the mirror array? There is little hope for Guanglong Bao.
Guanglong had long been ready to destroy the mirror array on the other side, and even told Yi Pinlan how to operate it. They also agreed that if Jin Lao had no choice, he had to come up with this strategy.
I don't know how long it took, Guanglong sat on the cold ground and languished, and Jin Lao slowly came down.
Jin Lao would never agree to the barbaric act of destroying the Mirror Array, for him it was simply a treasure of humanity, and destroying it was a crime. If he had known about Guanglong's earlier atrocities, he would have gone mad with anger.
Jin Lao said confidently: "Follow me, I can take you out." After a long time, my memory is not good. ”
They couldn't believe that in the face of this huge and complex labyrinth mirror array, Jin Lao actually studied the route through and remembered it by memory.
Jin Lao said as he walked: "When I first came in, I was strange, the arrangement of the mirrors is very similar to the Bagua diagram, and it seems that this is really the case from above. Who can put up Chinese gossip? ”
Jiang is old and spicy, and when you walk in it, you can see the clues, and Guanglong has to admire Jin Lao's outstanding knowledge. Presumably, he is also a master of traditional culture research.
They suspiciously followed Jin Lao into the other half of the mirror array. In order not to disturb Jin Lao's memories, they all remained silent behind and followed closely. Xiaoling, who fell at the end, was restless, either stinky and beautiful looked in the mirror or posed for selfies, she didn't know the power of the mirror array.
Traveling left and right in the mirror array, sometimes it may be necessary to return to the same place, and sometimes it is like walking back. Jin Lao won't have a problem, right, can he remember such a complicated route? Guanglong's head was dizzy.
Believe him for the time being. If you really can't do it, smash the mirror.
For more than half an hour, under the leadership of Jin Lao, they finally walked around the last mirror wall and saw the stone gate in the distance. Jin Lao said that gossip is ever-changing, especially in the mirror array, and there are thousands of routes to go out, and the route they take is the shortest route. So he spent a little longer observing the crystal pillar. In the huge and complicated system in the mirror array, his slightest mistake will affect the overall situation, maybe he can't find the route back, and being able to come out shows that he really remembers it clearly.
Everyone was amazed that Jin Lao was a strange man. At his age, he should have memory loss or even dementia~ dementia, how can it be stronger than the memory of young people. There are so many unusual things in this world.
Guanglong opened his mouth in surprise, Jin Lao is too good, not only can he see many routes, but he can also find the shortest one? It's amazing.
Unlike the previous stone door, this door has double doors. Its door leaf is more ancient and elegant, with no words engraved on it, and the corners are polished very rounded. The door seemed to have been sealed and unopened for a long time, and the surface was covered with a thick layer of dust. But the mechanism was the same, and they opened it easily.
The mechanism is not very sensitive, and the heavy stone door is separated from each other by small ~ seams are stuck, and there is a damp ~ wet turbidity inside, and the fishy smell almost smokes Guanglong's head.
The mechanism was opened, and together they pushed the stone door open to the gap for people to pass through. Inside is a black hole ~ the hole can't see anything, they look at each other and no one speaks. What to do? They stared in horror into the darkness of the unknown, waiting for the unbearable turbidity to drain away.
They reflexively protect themselves while witnessing the darkness, what danger is there to meet them?
Hinaling asked timidly, "Do you want to go in?" ”
It's all come to this point, and it's not okay if you don't enter. They turned on the lighting function of the mobile phone, and the beam of light ~ into the black hole ~ the space of the hole did not work at all. It seems that the light is swallowed up by darkness.
Yi Pinlan is a master of art and bold, holding a wooden stick prepared at the bottom of the mountain and lighting it, leading everyone into the black hole. Guanglong and Chaoluan followed closely, Xiaoling followed, and finally the old couple Jin pressed the formation. The situation inside is unknown, so be ready to escape at any time.
In the dark belly of the mountain, the firelight is obviously better illuminated, and more can be seen inside.
To be safe, they lined up and walked inside against the wall. Due to the limited exposure of the fire, I can only see the vicinity of the wall, and the deepest part is still black, and I don't know how high the top is. Guanglong always felt that there was something in the middle of the hall, and a strong uneasiness hit in his heart. Is it appropriate for them to venture in?
Chaoluan also felt that the atmosphere was wrong, and kept shining his mobile phone at the center of the hall, although he couldn't see anything. Guanglong complained that his hands were tied and begged them to loosen them, but Yi Pinlan sternly refused.
None of them spoke, for fear of alarming the "thing" in the darkness. When people are faced with the fear of the unknown, they will give birth to a terrible imaginary enemy in their hearts. Xiao Ling was completely frightened, and she held Guanglong's arm tightly and refused to let go, and her cold little hand trembled uncontrollably.
When they came to the corner, they found all kinds of broken weapons on the ground. Most of those weapons were rusty and unusable, but only a few swords were still as clean as new and sharp.
Chao Luan picked up the rusty ancient sword and wondered: "Who put the weapon in the corner, and how many springs and autumns have you experienced?" He gently brushed the rust spots on his sword, which were dark red.
Jin Lao looked at it and said, "There is blood on the sword, not rust. "On second look, almost all of the swords are stained with blood.
They were surprised, there was no sign of a fight around, why were there so many bloody swords and bloody swords. What is the point of piling them together?
Yi Pinlan silently picked out the sword that could still be used and handed it to Chaoluan, and said to everyone: "Don't forget the purpose of this trip, we are just to gather tools, don't care about other things." ”
Guanglong had long wanted to leave the useless scrap copper and rotten iron, so everyone continued to move along the wall.
Various vague murals began to appear on the walls, as well as characters unknown to Guanglong. A pinland should be recognized.
It is said to be a mural, but in fact, there are not many colors, and the simple and vivid outline with only thick and thin lines is unforgettable. Jin Lao speculated that the mural without color was much older.
By the light of the fire, Guanglong saw that there was a giant kneeling in the mural with more than ~ hairy hair, because he was more than twice as tall as the person next to him just kneeling. Beside the giant were a group of people, stabbing him with swords. Strangely, the giant had his hands behind his back, and there was no resistance and no expression of pain. Guanglong thought that this was a battle scene of the ancient people defending against the enemy together, and the giant was an exaggerated expression, and the ancient people's usual methods have reflected their bravery and greatness.
There are not only battle scenes in the murals, but also many scenes of life. Attracted by the simple and vivid murals, she forgot her fear, she pointed to one of the murals and said, "Isn't silkworm raising a patent in my country, and there are also here?" "As early as the Yin and Zhou dynasties, there were records of silkworm raising, is the history of raising here even longer?
In the mural that Xiao Ling refers to, several pairs of men and women sit reverently around a large tree, and the leaves on the tree are crawling with silkworm babies. At the top of the mulberry tree, several moths made of baby silkworms flew into the sky.
Mrs. Jin agreed: "The degree of seeing their murals is not necessarily earlier than that of our country, and the degree of civilization of each country is very different, if its own development is slow." After all, this is not the world as we know it. ”
They all looked at Pimpland, expecting her to give an answer. But she was studying indecipherable ancient scripts.
Most of the ancient characters on the wall are blurred, and the persistent Yipinlan still recognizes a few. "Blood stains red...... Soul... Take to the skies... Looking for a home," Yi Pinlan muttered to herself, intermittently.
Jin Lao suddenly realized: "The mural is not a battle scene, but a sacrifice!" He explained that most of the ancient people believed in the sun and other stars in the sky, revered them as gods, and made sacrifices to enable them to attain eternal life, shining with the sun and the moon. In the eyes of the ancients, the destination of the gods was their home.
According to the inscription on the wall, it is indeed like the words spoken during the sacrifice.
So it was, the giant was a sacrifice. Were there really giants in the world before?
Chaoluan stared at the silkworm raising diagram and said: "In ancient times, they raised silkworms as a kind of sustenance, and their souls were sublimated by turning into moths through silkworm feathers. "There is no silk spinning and pupation in the silkworm raising picture, and there is no scene of cocooning to make silk, if it is a life scene, it is inevitable that it is a single scene.
Jin Lao nodded and said, "It should be like this." ”
Guanglong thought, maybe the silkworm on the wall is a walking corpse insect? This ancient bug has been raised by humans for a long time.
They lingered under the mural ~ for a long time before continuing on the road, during which there were things piled up at every corner. There are production items such as ropes, sticks, and stones, as well as animal skins and large bones.
I went around and took a lot of tools, but they didn't know why. Do you want to leave it here?
Yipinlan is not reconciled and wants to explore the unknown territory in the middle. The dragon's skin was tight, and his instinct told him that he couldn't go there.
But it was too late, and Yi Pinlan and Xianling ran over boldly. When Guanglong reacted, he only heard the screams of Xiao Ling, who had just relaxed, echoing loudly in the huge space.
They are in danger. Guanglong saw from a distance that under the faint light of the fire, someone was lying flat on the ground. That body is actually a giant in the painting!
