Chapter 273: Another World
In the main hall of the Yama Palace, there are a total of four statues.
The king of Yama, the judge, the black impermanence, the white impermanence.
Because of professional habits, I had already carefully probed the moment I entered.
I'm 100% sure that the four statues inside are just statues.
But...... If it's just four statues, who is in it?
The Yama Hall has an unobstructed view, and there is no room for Tibetans at all.
I said to Hui Ling, "Say, could someone be hiding under the altar?" ”
Hui Ling said: "I have already seen it just now, and the altar is actually a table, and it is impossible to hide people. Moreover, there is no secret passage under the Yama Temple. Not to mention basements and the like. ”
I was silent.
I said, "Could it be that a spirit goes in, plugs in the door, and then kills itself, and the soul is gone, and disappears without a trace?" ”
Hui Ling said: "The possibility you said is not impossible, but I always feel that it is unlikely. I really can't think of a reason, so I have to be far-fetched. ”
I snorted, "It's a bit far-fetched. But...... If there is no other possibility, then it can only be this reason. ”
Hui Ling said to me, "Xia Tian is not here, what should we do?" ”
I said, "Let's get to the bottom of the Yama temple first." ”
Hui Ling frowned: "Still going in?" ”
I nodded.
Hui Ling said: "I know there is a problem, but I still want to go in?" ”
I nodded.
Hui Ling asked me, "Can I wait for you outside?" ”
I smiled: "Aren't you afraid of being left alone and then killed?" ”
Hui Ling: "......"
Five minutes later, the two of us re-entered the Yama Temple.
Hui Ling seemed to be worried that after we went in, a gust of wind would close the two doors, so she specially moved stones to block the two doors.
In this way, the moonlight outside can shine into the Yama Temple.
In the moonlight, whether it is the king of Yama or the judge, or black and white.
Their eyes were sparkling.
These guys' eyes were all made of glass, and now they glowed with an eerie glow, staring at me and Hui Ling.
Hui Ling also seemed a little uncomfortable with these gazes, and she tore some strips of cloth from her body, blindfolding the statues.
Well, there are no weird eyes looking at us now, but I think the atmosphere is even weirder.
Hui Ling said to me, "Hurry up and check this place, if there is no problem, we will leave." ”
I hummed and started checking.
At first, I didn't see anything wrong.
But soon, I noticed that the walls of the main hall were a little strange.
On top of this wall, there is a thick layer of mud, which is not evenly smeared, and even a little scribbled.
And the mud seems to have just been smeared.
I said to Hui Ling, "Do you think that the mud on this wall doesn't match the overall style of the main hall?" ”
Although the main hall is dilapidated, the floor is at least paved with stone slabs.
No matter how simple the wall is, it should not be painted so unevenly.
Hui Ling said: "This job is really not very good. Do you want to instruct them on how to paint the walls, though? ”
I shook my head: "I think this wall was painted later." ”
I tapped lightly with my mahogany sword, and a large chunk of dirt fell, revealing the contents behind me.
Behind it is a flat wall with frescoes on it.
I was overjoyed, and then I carefully inserted the mahogany sword into the gap, and then pried the clay chips off.
I said to Hui Ling, "Do you see? This mud is definitely brushed up from behind. It's just to disguise the frescoes. Why did they disguise the murals? Explain that murals are important. ”
"They wanted to cover up the mural, and I wanted to see what's inside. I guess the clue is in the mural. Maybe there is something about the origin of the mountain of sin, the truth about the mountain of sin. ”
When I was working hard, Hui Ling suddenly said faintly, "Wait. ”
I stopped and wondered, "What's wrong?" ”
Hui Ling said: "I seem to have seen Xia Tian. ”
I was taken aback and hurriedly walked over.
Subsequently, I was also stunned.
I did see Xia Tian.
Xia Tian is inside the mural.
She was tied with ropes and pushed down in front of King Yama.
King Yama looked majestic, as if he was judging Xia Tian's punishment.
I took a deep breath and said to Hui Ling, "It seems that she has been locked up in the painting." But it doesn't matter, I've seen this kind of painting, I just have to go in and find her. ”
Then I bit my finger and smeared the blood on the mural.
Alas, nothing happened.
Hui Ling said to me, "This kind of painting, people from the outside world don't seem to be able to go in. ”
I was a little disappointed.
Hui Ling said: "I'm just curious, looking at the material of this painting, I'm afraid it will take many years. Could it be that many years ago, someone painted Xia Tian on this? ”
I put my hand on the mural and felt its material carefully.
I said faintly, "I'm afraid there are only two possibilities. The first is that this mural was painted a long time ago, but Xia Tian was added later. ”
"Second, we are in a hallucination, and what we see is fake."
Hui Ling frowned and said, "Then it doesn't make sense, why did the other party cover the painting with mud." ”
"Since they want to paint Xia Tian into an ancient painting, this is clearly for us to see. If you want us to see it, why bother to cover it? ”
"If we are in a hallucination...... That's weird too. Why do we in the illusion cover the painting with mud? ”
She was silent for a moment and whispered, "Have you ever thought that this painting is something similar to a monitor?" It shows a picture of another world. ”
I looked at Hui Ling in surprise: "Where did you get this idea from?" ”
Hui Ling pointed to the king of Yama in the painting and said, "Because I saw him move." ”
I took a closer look, and I saw that King Yama's hands were on the table just now. And now, King Yama's arms were raised high.
In his hand was a token with a chop written on it.
Obviously, he was going to order Xia Tian to be killed.
When I saw this, I immediately became impatient.
I asked Hui Ling, "Do you know which world this mural shows?" ”
Hui Ling smiled bitterly and said, "This is embarrassing for you, how do I know?" But...... Since this is the Yama Palace, I'm afraid it's a matter of the underworld. ”
I said, ", is there really a hell in the world?" ”
Hui Ling said: "The wind comes out of nowhere, but it may not be without a cause. Maybe there is a place similar to the underworld, so everyone spreads it by word of mouth, and the more it is described, the clearer it becomes, and with their own imagination, it forms something like the underworld. ”
I walked back and forth in the main hall: "How do you get to that world?" How to get there? ”
As I was spinning in circles, I suddenly caught a glimpse of King Yama on the altar.
The king of Yama sat there, his hands behind his back.
This image is a bit strange.
I took a detour behind him to take a look.
Because of the light, the back of King Yama was dark.
I took out a match, lit it, and lit it.
Eventually, I found out that he had something on his back.
