Chapter V: Organs
The most strange thing in the whole room is the wall, the wall is full of Danqing ink paintings, the main color is dark yellow, some of them are painted with white clouds, some are painted with ethereal mountains, and one mural is even stranger, painting a group of unknown people, surrounded by a person who looks like a wizard, the wizard is holding a Wang Ba shell, carving words on it, the background is a dark cloud of mountains and forests.
As we walked in it, I felt that there was an indescribable evil aura in this room, but Li Damin watched it with relish, especially the murals with figures, and looked extremely carefully, and took out his mobile phone to take pictures.
"What do you see is going on?" I asked.
Li Damin illuminated the mural where the wizard was painted with a flashlight: "Can't you see it? ”
I asked what was going on.
"In ancient times, people predicted good fortune and misfortune, and they used the method of burning turtle shells to see the cracks of turtle shells to determine good fortune and evil." Li Damin said: "The turtle is the most spiritual, the legend is that there is a turtle out of Luoshui, carrying Luoshu, Fu Xi saw and enlightened, and then became gossip Zhou Yi." This is the earliest Taoist view of the universe. ”
He swept the room with a flashlight, looked at the murals and said, "Interesting, interesting, do you know how I feel?" ”
"What?" My throat scurried up and down.
"It's not like a bedroom, it's like an ancient tomb." Li Damin said: "These murals are tomb paintings, expressing a certain vision and appeal of the deceased. ”
"Wait," I waved my hand, "I'm a little confused, this is Wang Yue's bedroom, didn't she let me come just to let me see this...... Could it be that she has already ......," I pointed to the black coffin in the middle.
Li Damin scratched his head and circled around the coffin, saying that the secret was probably in this coffin. Gotta find a way to open it.
With him, I'm less nervous, and now it's more curious and worried. Wang Yue is engaged in such a big project, and it is a coffin and a mural, what does she want to do? What is her current state?
Thinking of her weird sleepwalking symptoms that night, I felt a chill over me. These strange elements in front of me are beyond my cognition, and they can't be strung together into a logical chain that can be said no matter what.
Li Damin banged on the black coffin, shining a flashlight on every inch of it. There is no decoration on the surface of this coffin, it is a very ordinary few black plates packed together, and the joints are tightly seamed, but there is not a single nail to be found, and the craftsmanship looks rough but is actually fine.
Li Damin turned back and forth several times, but he didn't find a way to open the coffin. The lid of the coffin was tightly attached to the coffin, and the two of us couldn't lift it even with all our strength. Li Damin said: "This craft is a bit awesome, is it the legendary carpenter's tenon?" ”
"I know," I said, "that is, without nails, but with the recesses of the wood itself." ”
"Yes." Li Damin nodded: "The so-called seamless." If that's the case, it's not something that can be opened by brute force, maybe there's a mechanism in it. ”
"Organs?" I wondered.
Li Damin said: "Didn't Wang Yue send you messages a few times before and after, we can enter the building and come to her house smoothly, and she has given enough hints." If you look at the information again, is there a password for opening the coffin or something. ”
I took out my phone and took a closer look, the digital password sent by Wang Yue had been used, and the information behind it was useless, all hysterical words urging me to come here.
I watched it twice, shook my head, and told Li Damin that he didn't.
Li Damin didn't seem to believe my IQ and took my phone over. I looked at him angrily, he crouched on the ground, looking at his phone and pondering.
Taking advantage of this time, I walked slowly along the wall in my bedroom, carefully looking at the paintings on the wall, and secretly frightened. The painting skills of these paintings are very powerful, the lines are delicate, the ink is bold, and the splashes show the true color of the description. After watching it for a long time, it is still dazzling and fascinating.
Were these paintings painted by Wang Yue? If she painted it, I really can't imagine that this little girl would have such a hand.
As I walked, I was in a trance, and I seemed to have traveled into a tomb robbery novel. A person is drilled in the depths of the ancient tomb, and the gloomy corridor is only himself, and the terrifying atmosphere cannot be expressed in words.
Just then, I suddenly stopped and saw something in the corner.
The moment I saw this thing, my sense of time was even stronger than the sense of reality, and it was really as if I had left reality and was in an ancient tomb.
I was trapped in a trance of dreams and reality, a little unable to extricate myself, my body did not move and my heart was beating violently, indicating that I was still awake.
I shook my head vigorously, took a deep breath, and came to my senses. Shine a flashlight on it.
In the corner of the room, an altar was placed. This altar is in the shape of a gossip, the volume is not large, it is the size of a basin, it looks like it is made of metal, the surface is dark black, it seems to be a little absorbent, no matter what light passes, it can't illuminate it.
On the top of this Bagua altar, that is, the position of the two black and white eyes of Taiji Fish, there are two copper ever-bright lamps, and the style is strange.
I cried out, "Come here, Damin, and see what this thing is." ”
Li Damin hurriedly came over and returned the phone to me: "There is really no useful information in it." He saw the altar, looked at me face to face, and smiled: "It's getting more and more interesting." ”
"Are we going to call the police?" I asked softly. Things have started to derail, and a lot of incomprehensible things have emerged.
I thought that Li Damin would not agree, but he thought about it and said, "Find Wang Yue and talk about it." He gestured to the coffin.
We can basically be sure that Wang Yue is in this closed coffin, and she can only be found by opening the coffin.
Since Wang Yue was in the coffin, there was only one possibility, that is, after she entered the coffin, she closed the coffin lid from the inside. It is impossible for a little girl to make the coffin lid close and unopen with her strength alone, so the coffin lid must be with a mechanism.
"Why don't you light the lantern?" I blurted out, I don't know where the inspiration came from.
Li Damin nodded: "I think so too." ”
He took out the lighter from his pocket, walked to the altar step by step, polished the flames, and aimed at the wick in the ever-bright lamp. I looked a little nervous from behind, only to see the flame flickering and flickering, and the wick lit up and burned. A thin puff of white smoke ignited from the lantern, quickly melted into the air, and disappeared.
Li Damin covered his nose and took a step back, his face cloudy.
I walked over and smelled a faint scent of the lamp.
"It's scented." I whispered.
Li Damin's face was solemn: "It doesn't have to be anything, maybe it's poison." ”
"You think too much," I said, "and this is not a martial arts novel." "I took the lighter from him and told him that I would light another lamp.
Li Damin made a gesture and gestured casually.
I squatted on the ground and burned another everlasting lamp with the flame, the flame jumped, the wick burned slowly, and then a puff of white smoke came out, I didn't dodge it for a while, the white smoke just rushed into my nose, and I smelled the fragrance both faint and deep, like a worm that rushed straight into the depths of the nasal cavity, making people ecstatic and crispy, and half of my face was numb.
I quickly stood up and handed the lighter to Li Damin, who shook his head and said, "Both of us have smelled it, it is better not to be poisonous, otherwise it will be unlucky." He smiled wryly.
At this time, a "crunching" sound suddenly came from the darkness.
The cool breeze ran from the back of my neck, and Li Damin looked over with the voice, only to see the huge black coffin lid moving slowly!
"Opened?" I'm a little bit unconvinced.
Li Damin's throat moved: "I know!" The ever-bright lamp is a mechanism. ”
The two of us looked at each other, and our faces were terrible. From the beginning, I received WeChat and came here to crack the password of the building, and until now I have opened the coffin with an ever-bright lamp...... I seemed to be walking step by step into an inexplicable trap, and every step was laid out by Wang Yue.
But why, she put so much effort into me, and set up these bureaus just for me?
Li Damin took the initiative to lie down on his own, originally he had nothing to do, this kid took the initiative to wade into troubled waters.
Something suddenly occurred to me, and there was a key one that was difficult to explain...... Just as I was about to think about it, Li Damin patted me and said let's go over and have a look. The thoughts just now passed quickly, and when I thought about it again, there was nothing to hide.
I had to follow him to the coffin, but before I could get closer, he stopped me from any closer. We stood three steps away, and Li Damin shone a flashlight into the coffin.
The coffin lid only moved a gap, it can be regarded as open, and it is still black inside, and the flashlight can only sweep at the edge, and the scene inside is not real. Somehow, I kept feeling like there was a person lying inside. It should be Wang Yue.
It is impossible to stand from a distance and observe quietly, the lid of the coffin must be completely pushed open.
The two of us approached, and each of us moved one end and pushed it outward, but the coffin lid was unexpectedly light, a thin layer of wood. We moved the lid of the coffin to the ground so that the whole coffin was revealed.
Li Damin shone in with a flashlight again, and I followed to look in, and the light instantly illuminated the scene in the coffin. He and I looked at each other, both of them looking in disbelief.
