Chapter 32: Murals

Sudden change and almost suicide

Behind the scenes of the mural

Zhang Chengyong was lying on the ground, streams of blood were gushing out of his neck at this time, and it was obvious that the three knives I had just pierced his arteries impartially.

Zhang Chengyong was grabbed by me with one hand, and covered his neck with the other, he wanted to say something, but at this time he could only make a "woo woo" sound from his mouth. His eyes were filled with grief, helplessness, despair, and resentment.

I know he's blaming me, blaming me for doing such a bad thing to him.

I couldn't bear to look at him again, I couldn't bear to look at his cursed eyes again, because those eyes filled my heart with pain, helplessness, and self-blame.

Countless indescribable feelings converged into my heart in an instant, making me unable to think, unable to move, or even unable to breathe, I just stood in place, looking at him, looking at Zhang Chengyong's face distorted by pain.

I knew I had made a mistake that I shouldn't have made, but in that case I had no choice but to strike first.

I tried hard to find reasons and excuses for myself, but the more I tried to convince myself, the heavier the depression in my heart became. At this time, a very extreme thought suddenly rose in my heart - to give myself a knife, maybe this way can be freed.

That's right, give yourself a knife, and that's probably a good way to do it. Why don't I give myself a pain? Why should I live my life with this guilt that keeps me from breathing? Yes, give yourself a pain, and then everything will be over and you will be liberated!

Thinking of this, I raised my hand and glanced at the tiger tooth in my hand, there was still blood dripping on the tiger tooth, the blood was Zhang Chengyong's blood, and it looked particularly bright red in the cold blade of the tiger tooth. The red blood made me feel a strong sense of guilt, but the cold light made me feel a little relieved.

I breathed a long sigh of relief and said lightly: "Brother, I'm sorry! Wait for me in a while, I'll be with you! Dude, I won't keep you alone for too long! ”

As I spoke, I suddenly turned the blade around and was about to stab myself in the chest.

However, the knife did not go down, because just as I was about to stab me, a man grabbed me by the wrist.

And it was actually a woman who grabbed my wrist, a pair of hot and warm hands.

"Brother Tianyi! Wake up! Wake up! Brother Tianyi ...... "This voice was far away, as if it was calling my name a few streets away.

Wake me up? What's wrong with me? I didn't sleep, did I? Why did she wake me up? Who is she? Where did she call me? And where am I?

After hearing this voice, countless thoughts occurred in my mind for a while. And the moment these thoughts came up, I suddenly felt a splitting headache, as if my whole head was about to explode, and at the same time, an indescribable hot sensation accompanied by a sharp pain came over the left side of my face.

Someone's beating me! Who is she? Why did she hit me? Did I offend her?

"Brother Tianyi, wake up! I'm Xiaomei! Wake up! ”

"Xiaomei? Xiaomei, why are you beating me? Why did she wake me up? Am I asleep? ”

"Brother Tianyi, wake up! Wake up! Wake up! ”

As Xiaomei's shouting became more and more urgent, I felt that she was getting closer and closer to me, and the anxious shouting became more and more real, and the originally vague scene in front of me began to gradually become clearer.

The light, the bright and jumping fire, the fire that had been extinguished was lit again! The light of the fire was clear and scorching, and the entire stone chamber was illuminated.

Everything is still the same as before the torch is extinguished, the virgin bronze corpse is shaking constantly at this time, and the coffins of three different materials are still standing in place, but there are two or three more strangely shaped corpses in the stone room at this time. These guys have grayish-brown skin, two or three centimeters of short hair covering their whole body, a long cow, a head as big as a bucket, and wings like clothes moths under their armpits, which looks extremely uncomfortable.

I shook my head vigorously, trying to make myself more sober, I first looked at Xiaomei who raised her hand and was about to hit it, and said with a smile: "Okay, you're slapping me twice, I guess even if I wake up, I'll be stupid by you again." After speaking, I turned my head to look at the ground again, and Zhang Chengyong, who I was holding before, had also become a moth man at this time, but at this time, it had already died of anger.

"! I'm near, grandpa, and I'm on your way! Bah! I threw the guy aside, and then spat at his corpse, "Where's Lao Zhang?" ”

"Just like you, I almost fell in love with these moths!" Seeing that I had regained my senses, Xiaomei let out a long breath, and then hit the ground with her ass, panting for breath.

"Xiaomei, are you alright!?" I asked hurriedly.

"It's fine! It was when I was saving the two of you just now that the wound on my arm broke open! Xiaomei said with a reluctant smile.

"I'll see!" As I spoke, I wanted to go over and examine Mei's wound, when a voice came from behind me.

"Let me do it!" This is Zhang Chengyong's voice.

When I heard this kid's voice, I couldn't help but glance back at him. And this glance doesn't matter, I can't help but gasp, because Zhang Chengyong at this time is like a bloody man who has just been fished out of the pool of blood, almost stained with blood from head to toe.

"You...... You...... Are you okay? I looked at him and stammered.

"It's okay! This blood is not mine! Feel relieved! I just had a little skin trauma! This blood belongs to those guys! Zhang Chengyong said and walked towards us, his walking posture was a little strange, obviously the muscles of his thigh were seriously injured, and his left arm seemed to be slightly injured, and he couldn't help but shake twice.

"Are you okay with the leg and arm injuries?" I asked.

"It's okay! I was just given a pair by a guy! Now the bleeding has stopped! Rest assured! Zhang Chengyong said. Xiaomei just told me that the main target of these guys is people who have had direct contact with them. The two of us had been in contact with them before, so the two of us almost fell on the road just now, and Xiaomei didn't touch them, so it's okay! In addition, these guys are extremely vindictive, we killed the three of them, and now although they have temporarily retreated, it is estimated that most of them have gone back to move troops. Therefore, Tianyi, I think the most important thing at this time is to find a way out and get rid of these guys. ”

"Hmmm! You're right! I nodded. In this way, you come to stop Xiaomei's bleeding! I looked among the murals and saw if there were any clues to get out. ”

"That's it!" Zhang Chengyong said that the gauze in my hand was fruitful. I drew a torch from the fire and walked slowly to the front of the previous mural.

Sure enough, just as I had thought before, it didn't take long for the paint on the walls to melt and peel off little by little, and the mural hidden deep inside was revealed as if a cocoon had been peeled off.

The content of the mural is not complicated, it roughly describes the internal structure of the underground palace and the length of construction time, which is basically a plan of the Yuk tomb. However, I was extremely surprised by the scale and way of building this dungeon. According to the description in the mural, this ancient tomb of Yuk is divided into four funerary tombs, two burial ditches, a main burial chamber, and two side chambers. Our current location is in the circular labyrinth at the entrance to the Yuk Tomb, according to the content of all the murals of Wang Yuan, whoever enters this ancient tomb through the entrance will enter this ecstasy path, and cannot survive or die. And the stone chamber where we are now is the center of this ecstasy, in other words, a few of us have been busy for a long time and have not even entered the door of the Yuk tomb, let alone entered the tomb to get the five-trick exquisite box left by Wang Yuan back then.

However, what puzzles me is that the ecstasy path we are in now overlaps to some extent with the altar of the burial tomb in the ancient tomb of Yuk, and the people who are busy preparing the sacrifices on the murals are all indicated by dotted lines, which looks strange and unclear.

"What's going on?" I said to myself with a frown.

"What's wrong?" At this time, Zhang Chengyong had already finished treating Xiaomei's wound and came over to say.

"Why is this place a dotted line?" I said with a frown.

"Could it be because this is the place where the sacrifice is used?" Zhang Chengyong said.

"Impossible! It is impossible for a king like Yuk to perform a sacrifice in such a place! They all think that they are destined to belong, and they are very concerned about things like sacrificing to the gods, so the situation you said will never happen. Xiaomei walked over at this time and said lightly.

"Then why do you use a dotted line?" Zhang Chengyong scratched his head and said, and as soon as he moved, his left arm couldn't help but shake several times.

"Perhaps......" I said as I paused, then looked at the ground beneath our feet.

"Maybe what?" Zhang Chengyong hurriedly asked.

"Maybe it's because the altar is right at our feet." I said word by word.

"Makes sense! Maybe it's really down the ground in this stone chamber! Xiaomei said with a little excitement.

"But there's one thing I've never been able to figure out!" I said with a frown.

"What do you don't understand?" Zhang Chengyong said as he held his left arm, trying to keep him from shaking.

And I didn't answer his words, but said a sentence that was extremely clueless to Zhang Chengyong, "Where is he?" ”

"What, where is he?" Zhang Chengyong asked curiously. "Who are you talking about?"

"I'm asking you where he is?" I said as my hand reached the dagger at my waist, "This is your last chance, where is he?" ”

"I said Tianyi, are you crazy? Who the hell are you asking? Aren't Mei and I both here? Zhang Chengyong looked at me and said.

"Good! You're pretty good! What I asked was where Zhang Chengyong was! I looked at the guy in front of me and asked word by word, and at this time I had already clutched the tiger teeth in my hand.
