The sudden appearance of the mask made me feel a little scared, in case I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to run away if I were like the monster in the water outside. Standing at a distance and watching for a while, the mask didn't change at all, I had the courage to get closer, there must be a reason why this mask was placed in such a hidden place, and it came down, so I couldn't go back without looking at it.

The mask is all white, and a black snake head covers the entire mask, the snake's eyes happen to be the eyes of the mask, and under the eyes are the open mouth of the big snake, and the teeth in the mouth seem to be still shining with cold light. Snake totem worship has appeared in history, and it is recorded in a large number of myths, legends and historical classics. "Lu Lingguang Dianfu" cloud "Fuxi scales, Nuwa snake body", "Liezi" recorded: "Blister, Nu Snail, Shenlong, Xiahou, snake body human face, bull head and tiger nose", "Classic of Mountains and Seas" also has "Gonggong's snake body and red hair". At the beginning of the 21st century, a glazed glazed hollow pottery ball made of eight snakes was unearthed in an ancient tomb of Wuyue, which was later named the glazed exquisite snake ball, but I have never seen such a snake mask in historical records.

I stared at the mask for a while, the snake on it seemed to be alive, and it always felt like a pair of eyes were staring at me, and when I moved, those eyes moved with it. Thinking of the series of unexplained things that had happened to me before, I forced myself to stop looking at the mask.

The walls around are all black, and they seem to have the effect of absorbing light, and the light of the glow sticks is not reflected at all, like a pair of invisible hands dragging the light straight into the wall.

"Wood, come and touch it!"

I had been looking at the mask just now, and I didn't notice when Shen Muhan ran to the wall, and now I was touching the wall with my hand little by little, to see what I should have found.

I walked over and put my hand on it like Shen Muhan, and I could feel a lot of nicks through the touch of my hand. At first, I thought it was a mural carved on the wall, but after touching it for a while, I rejected my idea, and although I couldn't feel what it was, I was sure that it was a certain kind of inscription on the wall.

"Can you figure out what it is?"

"I couldn't figure out what was written, but it was clearly a text. The earliest inscription that has been found is an inscription from the Song Dynasty, and the dried corpse outside should be from the Qing Dynasty, and this place should have been built or renovated by the Qing Dynasty. At that time, the main characters used were Manchu, Mongolian, Chinese, Tibetan, and Hui, and none of them looked like them. ”

"Wood, I find that there is a word on it that appears a lot of times."

"Isn't it that there are three horizontal lines on the top, and the middle horizontal is broken, the left side is long and the right section is long, and the bottom is a vertical one, and there are two short horizontal sections on each side, and the middle of the two short horizontal lines on the right is a shorter horizontal line?"

"That's right! I've never seen this word before. ”

"I've never seen it, this word has appeared so many times, it must be very important." I searched my memory carefully and made sure I had never seen the word.

After touching for a while, we found nothing except for touching some words we didn't recognize, and Shen Muhan and I once again focused our eyes on the stone pillar where the mask was placed in the center of the room. This stone pillar is almost exactly the same as the one outside, and the passage to the room from the outside is on the banyan tree in the middle, will the passage out of the room also have something to do with the middle face?

Just as he was about to walk over and look at the mask again, the glow stick in his hand went out at once, as if all the liquid in it had been reactive at once, and the whole room fell into darkness at once, only the mask still glowed with a trace of blue light. The brightness of this underwater glow stick is gradually diminishing and cannot be extinguished suddenly. When they came down, everyone brought two on them, mine had been used up, Shen Muhan had used one before, and Wang Chuan's had not used it.

I wanted to fold Shen Muhan's remaining glow sticks over, but they began to dim quickly as soon as they lit up.

"Girl, Chuanzi, let's go!" Looking at the changes in the glow sticks, fools know that this place is not normal, and it is the best policy to leave here as soon as they can still see it.

"Lin Qi!"

As soon as I walked out of the door, I heard Shen Muhan suddenly shout at me behind my back.

I stopped and turned around: "What's the matter, girl, why are you calling me?" ”

Shen Muhan was obviously stunned: "I didn't call you!" ”

After so many years of getting along day and night, it is impossible for me to hear Shen Muhan's voice wrong.

"Didn't you call Lin Qi just now?"

Shen Muhan shook his head again: "How is it possible, when I have called you Lin Qi, I have always called you wood." ”

As soon as Shen Muhan's voice fell, suddenly another "Lin Qi" sounded, this time the voice was clearer than just now, and even Shen Muhan and Wang Chuan could hear it clearly.

Wang Chuan turned around tremblingly and pointed to the mask in the middle of the room: "It seems that it is calling you!" ”

"Lin Qi!"

Just when the three of them were at a loss, another shout came, this time facing the mask, and the voice was really heard coming from the mask.

For a moment, I felt a cold sweat coming out of my forehead, and the other two people were not much better, Wang Chuan's outstretched hand trembled vigorously, and he forgot to take it back for a while. I blocked Shen Muhan behind me, and I could clearly feel the tremor coming from behind.

After stabilizing the panic a little, I pressed Wang Chuan's outstretched arm in the air and stuffed the glow stick into his hand: "Chuanzi, you and the girl are waiting here, I'll go over and see, if anything happens, take her out and run." ”

"Wood!" Shen Muhan grabbed my arm from behind.

I patted her hand and didn't look back: "Don't worry, girl, it's okay." ”

I'm not a person who is willing to take risks regardless of the consequences, but from the moment I got here, whether it was the seal with the word Lin written on it or the pendant that could open the passage, it seemed that I had a lot to do with it, and since this mask didn't want to let me go, maybe the key to leaving here was the mask, and there was no reason not to take a look.

I slowly walked towards the mask, and the mask didn't call my name again, and I was even more sure that my judgment was correct, and the mask really didn't want me to go. The range of the glow stick has become small, and after leaving the light of the glow stick, the blue light emitted by the mask has increased a lot, and the hand reaching for the mask has begun to become transparent.

The whole mask barely felt the weight in my hand, and the appearance was no different from what I had seen before, and when I turned the mask upside down, suddenly a voice appeared in my head, "Take it!" Take it with you! ”。 The voice grew louder and louder, from the whispering at the beginning to the roar of hundreds of people at the end, I involuntarily brought the mask to my face, and a wave of dizziness came over me instantly.

As the vertigo slowly faded, a picture appeared in front of my eyes. A huge ship was floating on the sea, and a group of people were busy shuttling back and forth, and one man was standing at the bow with his back to me, wearing a strange suit that could not tell whether it was a man or a woman. After a while, a man in a robe and a coat hurried over, and whispered something in the ear of the strangely dressed man, and it was a little far away, and I could not hear what was being said, but I could hear what the strangely dressed man said next, as if he had deliberately wanted me to hear it.

After the man in the robe and coat had gone, the man who had been standing at the bow of the boat slowly turned around, and I finally saw the man's face. Willow leaf eyebrows, red phoenix eyes, Roman nose and a moon mouth, a typical oriental classical beauty, looks like a lady, I even doubt that the words just now came from this person's mouth.

The beautiful woman smiled at me as if she could see me, and took out a mask and put it on her face, which was in the shape of a snake. Suddenly, a red letter from the beautiful woman's mask suddenly protruded from her open mouth, and then the huge snake head broke away from the mask and rushed over, stopping motionless in front of me, staring at me with scarlet eyes, and the foul smell from the mouth hit my face.

Just when I thought that the snake head would swallow itself in the next second, the snake head suddenly began to speak: "Wood! Wake up! Then there was a hot pain on his face, and the snake head in front of him slowly turned into Shen Muhan's face.
