Chapter 60: Yama's Illusion
Leopard-eyed lion-nose, short face and wide mouth, horizontal eyebrows and glaring, long mane with ears and ......
Hearing what Juekong said, everyone carefully observed the statues in front of them again and found that the characteristics of these statues were indeed extremely similar to the description of the Ten Halls of Yama in the legend.
And when everyone sighed, I couldn't help but smile smugly.
It seems that as I suspected, these ten statues are carved with the legendary Ten Temples of Yama, who are in charge of the Netherworld.
Netherworld, Yin Cao, Nai He Bridge, Wangxiang Terrace, Yellow Spring Bitter Sea, Eighteen Layers of Hell......
Out of the unknown and fear of death, so for the world after death, there are many legends in China since ancient times, although the statements are different, but there is no doubt that no matter in that kind of legend, there will be the existence of ten halls of Yama.
It is rumored that after death, people will go to the underworld to report and accept the judgment from the underworld, and those who are good before their death will be reincarnated as adults, enjoying glory and wealth, and those who do evil in life will be punished, and they will be reincarnated as adults again after being punished in hell.
Although these are just folklore, before that, our group already knew the true identity of the so-called Ten Hall Yama, so we naturally knew that this Ten Hall Yama was not just a legend made up, but a mysterious existence that could really control the Netherworld.
However, since Juekong had just clearly told us that these ten Yama statues were standing here for no other purpose, but only as signposts to point us in the next direction, we could be sure that there would be no mechanism in them.
And since there will be no mechanism, it proves that there is no danger in this statue, so I couldn't help the curiosity in my heart, and walked to the statue with Juekong, stretched out my hand to feel the vicissitudes faintly coming from the statue.
However, I soon regretted my reckless behavior.
I don't know what kind of material this statue is made of, the whole body is pitch black, there is no light, as my hand touches it, I only feel the coldness of my hand, this coolness seems to be transmitted along my arm to the bottom of my heart, so that I can't help but feel a trance.
After a trance, I felt that I was no longer in the secluded capital, but in a large hall, and sitting in front of me was the statue I had just touched.
It's just that at this moment he is no longer a statue, but a living existence, I saw him leopard-eyed lion-nose, long beard, wearing a square crown, holding a wat in his right hand on his chest, and now he is looking at me with wide eyes, and his mouth seems to be saying something.
Seeing this scene, I knew it.
Juekong was actually not wrong, after I touched this statue of the Ten Halls of Yama, I really didn't trigger any fatal mechanism.
However, despite the fact that there are no triggers, in addition to the mechanisms, these statues actually have the ability to make people hallucinate.
And although I knew in my heart that everything I was seeing was just an illusion, because this illusion was so real, I couldn't find any loopholes, and naturally there was no way to escape this inexplicable illusion for a while, so as to return to reality.
Since I was not harmed, I put my mind at ease for the time being, and tentatively communicated with the Yama I saw in front of me, trying to figure out the meaning of the hallucination.
But I soon gave up on that.
Because no matter what I did, this Yama didn't respond, he just said something to me mechanically, but he was blind to all my actions at the moment.
Seeing this, I could only stop my meaningless actions and listen carefully to what he was saying.
And when I calmed down and listened to what he said, I was surprised to find that the content that came out of the mouth of this Yama was actually something I had done since I was a child, and there was no false element in it.
At this moment, listening to the Yama in front of me counting all the things I had done in my life one by one, I suddenly fell into curiosity.
Obviously, what I have done before has been good and bad, not absolute, and I wonder at the end of the day, after all my actions, should I be counted as a good person, or a person who is so evil that he deserves to go to hell?
And at this moment, a voice like Huang Zhong Dalu suddenly came from my ears.
"Han Chuan, don't indulge in illusions, wake up quickly!"
I easily recognized that the voice was coming from Chunting, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of peace of mind, so I didn't make any resistance to the voice, but took advantage of the situation and let the voice go directly into my head.
Even though I was in the environment at the moment, Chunting's voice was still like a pinprick, and with his voice appearing, my body trembled involuntarily, and then I unconsciously closed my eyes, and in a trance, I felt as if I had left this strange hallucination.
As I opened my eyes, I found that I was no longer in the hallucination I had just had, and I was still in the Netherland, still caressing the statue of Yama in my hand.
After tentatively moving my hands and feet, I looked around at everyone with my eyes, and found that all of them had strange expressions and extremely complex expressions on their faces.
After a moment's thought, it became clear to me what had just happened.
It is not difficult to see from the expressions of everyone that I was not alone in that strange hallucination just now, they must have also experienced the hallucination just now, so such a complicated expression appeared on their faces.
Obviously, although Juekong had never been to that mysterious Black Rock City, he must have known about these ten Yama statues for a long time.
But he didn't explain it to us just now, and it was precisely because of his deliberate concealment that we inexplicably fell into that strange hallucination.
Because of this, everyone looked at Juekong in unison, waiting for him to make a reasonable explanation.
However, as I thought back carefully about my experience in the hallucination, I suddenly realized that Juekong had no ill will towards us.
So, I also turned to look at Juekong, although I was a little annoyed by Juekong's concealment, but because it didn't seem that anyone was hurt, so at this moment my tone was calm, and my words did not show half dissatisfaction.
"Master, you should know the origin of the illusion we just fell into, so please explain to us what is the connection between these ten Yama statues and the illusion we just experienced?"
