Chapter 2 The Old Tang Mansion Chapter 9 Behind the Secret Passage
As the secret stone door slowly opened, Wang Daling couldn't help but open his mouth wide, he never expected that the secret passage behind these two stone arches only played a role in disguise, in order to trap the trespassers in it, on the contrary, there was such a hidden, long tunnel behind the stone wall. Wang Daling took a cautious step forward, intending to look inside, but suddenly a strong sour smell came to his face.
Seeing this, Ghost Shuo hurriedly grabbed Wang Daling and took a few steps back, and fanned it with his hand, covered his nose and said: "It seems that this stone door has not been opened for some years, otherwise the smell of silt inside will not be so strong!" ”
Wang Daling finally relieved his breath and coughed: "It's not just strong, it's just killing people!" Do you think we're going to be poisoned? ”
Ghost Shuo tried to smell it, and at this time, the smell had dissipated a lot compared to when he first opened the door, but he still said cautiously: "Probably not, but we still have to be careful, let's stay back and wait for the smell to dissipate before acting!" As he spoke, he pulled Wang Daling back a few steps, and didn't stop until his back was against the wall of the well.
The two of them stared at the dark secret passage for five minutes... Ten minutes... I was afraid that something would suddenly come out of it, but after waiting for a long time, I finally didn't see any movement inside. Wang Daling tried to put down the hand covering his mouth and nose, smelled the smell in the well, and said in surprise: "Huh? How did the smell dissipate so quickly! It seems that the ventilation effect of this well is good! ”
Hearing him say this, Ghost Shuo also slowly lowered his hand, and sure enough, the smell was not as strong as before, he cautiously took a few steps forward, slowly approached the secret passage, and then took out a cigarette and lit it! Wang Daling interjected: "Ah ghost, you still have the leisure to smoke a cigarette to be calm and calm? Before the words fell, I saw Ghost Shuo flick the cigarette he lit in his hand directly into the secret passage with his hand.
"Hell! Why did you just say two sentences, and you actually made a temperament? Isn't it a pity to throw away this cigarette? Wang Daling said angrily.
Ghost Shuo didn't reply immediately, but instead stared at the cigarette butt in the secret passage, and after about half a minute, he finally slowly spoke: "The cigarette is not burned, extinguished, or discolored, it seems that the gas inside should not be fatal!" ”
Wang Daling woke up like a dream, and finally knew the purpose of the cigarette butt just now, and immediately got up and praised: "Ghost, with you, your mind is delicate enough!" I'll just say, smoking is still good! ”
Ghost Shuo turned his head and glanced at Wang Daling, his face showed a look of helplessness, and he said in a low voice: "You can't think about something serious more than a day?" ”
Being squeezed out by the ghost Shuo like this, Wang Daling was suddenly a little embarrassed, in order to divert his attention, he hurriedly took the flashlight on the ghost Shuo's body and shone it into the secret passage a few times, so photo, Wang Daling suddenly said in surprise: "Ah ghost, look, there seems to be a mural in front!" ”
Hearing Wang Daling say this, Ghost Shuo hurriedly looked up, and there seemed to be a painting on the wall about thirty meters away in front of him, but due to the light, he couldn't see what the painting was, so the two of them slowly walked into the secret passage under the strong drive of curiosity.
But as soon as he entered, Wang Daling was shocked: "Ghost, could this be another labyrinth passage?" Do you want to catch a few rats in advance? ”
Wang Daling was shocked and did startle Ghost Shuo, but his worry was not entirely unreasonable, Ghost Shuo shot around with a flashlight again, and said in a low voice: "Be cautious, don't use it for the time being!" So they walked slowly forward again.
But just a few steps away, the strong smell came out of nowhere, and the smell became stronger and stronger, Ghost Shuo glanced at the floor with slanted eyes, and suddenly his eyes were quick, and he grabbed Wang Daling and shouted: "Stop!" ”
Wang Daling was shocked, but he still stopped his steps in time, he slowly moved his gaze, only to see that under his feet was a pool that was the same width as the secret passage and about ten meters long, and one of his feet had already volleyed above the pool, if it wasn't for the ghost Shuo shouting in time, I am afraid that he would have been planted! In surprise, Wang Daling hurriedly withdrew the leg that had already stepped out and took two steps back, feeling a little scared in his heart.
"Okay... It's dangerous! I almost fell into the pool! Who knows what's in the pool? Wang Daling said with palpitations.
"Pool? Can't you smell the sour smell in the air? ”
After being reminded by the ghost, Wang Daling found that the sour taste in the secret passage was very strong, so he asked in a trembling voice: "This... Isn't that water? ”
Ghost Shuo put the rope in his hand into the pool, and after a while, he lifted it again, the rope was corroded, looking at the scene in front of him, Wang Daling was even more afraid: "Is it in this pool... Sulphuric acid! ”
Ghost Shuo nodded silently and said in a low voice: "This design is ingenious enough, use the murals in the distance to attract attention, and then distract people, so that people inadvertently fall into this sulfuric acid pool!" ”
"Ingenious? It's simply vicious! I can't imagine if my mother would recognize me if I fell into this! Wang Daling said angrily.
Ghost Shuo didn't continue to pay attention, but took a good look at this sulfuric acid pool, as far as the length of the sulfuric acid pool is concerned, it is impossible to jump directly over it, and its width extends to the walls on both sides, so give up moving forward?
Oni Shuo thought for a while, and then measured the width of the secret passage with his body, fortunately, the gap between the two walls here is not too wide, if you support the wall on one side with both hands, and then kick the wall on the other side with both feet, you should be able to crawl over slowly. But this requires a lot of arm strength and physical strength, but fortunately, it is difficult for him and Wang Daling, but if there are any mechanisms on the walls on both sides, it will be dangerous, once you fall into the sulfuric acid pool below, it will really be a catastrophe...
After much hesitation, Onishuo turned his gaze to the wall opposite the sulfuric acid pool. Under the illumination of the flashlight, although the pictures on the wall can not be completely seen, it can be vaguely seen that the opposite wall is painted with a neat and solemn standing army, just like the front of the two armies in a straight line, infantry, chariots, and war horses are readily available, giving people a very sense of majesty, inexplicably making people a little afraid!
Ghost Shuo looked carefully, but Wang Daling suddenly said: "Am I dazzled, how do I feel that the army on the wall has moved!" ”
At this point, Ghost Shuo was also surprised, because he also felt the same way, so he quickly rubbed his eyes and looked over again, but the army was still, the same as at the beginning!
Seeing that Ghost Shuo didn't react, Wang Daling's heart suddenly sank, and he said in a trembling voice: "This... Isn't this the resurrection of the Yin Soldiers? ”
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden sound of a horn on the other side of the wall, followed by the sound of horses and the roar of people! The two of them were startled by this sudden sound, and their eyes suddenly stared at the army on the wall in front of them, could it be that this army was really resurrected?
Wang Daling was full of excitement, and hurriedly hid behind Ghost Shuo, who could feel his fear because his body was trembling. But Ghost Shuo's gaze didn't dare to take his eyes off the opposite wall for a moment, and suddenly, the army on the wall really began to move, and under the background of the sound of horns and horses, it began to move towards the two of them, and with the movement of the army, there was a huge sound of footsteps.
Wang Daling finally couldn't help but shout: "The Yin soldier has been resurrected, run!" After saying that, he turned around and wanted to run, but as soon as he turned around, his feet became weak, he fell to the ground, and the flashlight in his hand also flew out!
As soon as the flashlight landed, the whole floor was warped, and then it was flipped and covered, and several connected floors were also turned over one after another, and the flashlight was turned under the floor, in the face of this sudden change, Wang Daling was so frightened that he was at a loss, and only dared to lie on the ground and gasp loudly, Ghost Shuo quickly turned his head and said loudly: "Don't move!" In front is a chain flap, and below it is definitely a knife edge trap. ”
The two of them didn't dare to move for a while, but the footsteps of the army behind them and the sound of horses were getting louder and louder, and they felt that the Yin soldiers were getting closer and closer...
Ghost Shuo subconsciously closed his eyes and thought, there is a chain flip in front of this, and behind him is a resurrected Yin soldier, how to deal with it? It's a living thing, it's a big deal, even if it's dead, it's a fight, but how should this yin soldier fight?
This long wait, a second seems like a year, but after a long time, I don't see the Yin soldiers behind me! And gradually, the voice of the army seemed to be quieter, and Oni Shuo opened his eyes and turned his head cautiously...
There was nothing behind him, and the army on the wall was still motionless as before! Ghost Shuo was puzzled, and Wang Daling, who was lying on the ground, saw that there was no movement around him, and finally relieved himself, opened his eyes tremblingly and turned his head.
"Ah... Ahh This... What the hell is going on? What about the resurrected Yin soldiers? ”
I saw Ghost Shuo's serious face, and he stared at the mural on the wall for a long time, and then slowly scolded in a low voice: "Damn, I was almost fooled, this is an illusion painting, and staring at it for a long time will make people visually confused!" ”
"Illusion painting?"
"That's right! It is a hallucinatory painting, relying on the level of composition to make people's vision confused, thus confusing the mind! For example, if you draw a black dot in the middle of the paper, and then draw some dots around it, and connect these dots into a circle, and you stare at it, and after a long time, you will feel that the dots around it will start to disappear or move. This is the principle of the mural opposite. Ghost Shuo patiently explained, and turned around and pointed to the floor that had just flipped over: "The purpose of this is to make us fall into this pre-designed chain flap in a panic. ”
"And what's going on with that noise? That's definitely not an illusion! Wang Daling hurriedly asked.
