It's not entirely natural, at least in the section that flows through the ancient city, it's obviously repaired, but it's so old that the traces of manifold have been worn away, and only the polished corners of the river can still be seen at the top of the river, which have been eroded by water vapor.

It stands to reason that this should be the end of the ancient city, where will he go downstream? I began to hesitate to keep up, at least we didn't have to fear dying of thirst, maybe the end of the dark river was the exit, although the probability was very low, after all, it was a few hundred meters underground.

Lao Huang didn't say a word, rolled up his trousers and jumped directly into the river, the clear water was up to his ankles, and no creature could be seen with the naked eye. ”

If I had just walked in the desert for a day, I would have jumped in without saying a word, but now I only feel cold when I look at the clear flowing water, and then I think about it, I have so much dirt on my body, and now I can just clean it up.

I squatted down and put my hand into the water, the cool and clear feeling traveled with the pores all over my body, as if all the filth had been washed away, the water here was not polluted, it was amazingly clean, I picked up the water and threw it on my face, washing all the dirty places, I just felt refreshed.

This may be the last dignity of being a human being, that person is waiting for us in front of us, it is difficult for us to get out of the whole body, if we really want to die, it is not bad to be able to walk cleanly.

Lao Huang picked up the gun, I also drew the short sword, we walked downstream, gradually felt the cold and biting under the feet, and slowly adapted to the numbness, the traces of that person had long disappeared in the flowing water, both sides of the river were full of eroded rocks, there were not too many edges and corners, this was also a place that had been artificially repaired.

We walked along the water for at least half an hour, and we never saw a fork in the road, and the only thing that could support us to go down was the man-made traces in the river, as long as it was not natural, it meant that it was still within the confines of the ancient city.

Where did that person go? Did he also come up from the lower reaches of the river in the first place? I doubt that we are going in the wrong direction, and with the cunning of that man, if he really wants to escape, he will probably make a trick.

Lao Huang's pace was obviously slow, but he didn't question it, we could only move forward according to the traces he left, and walked for nearly ten minutes, only to see that the dark river came to an end, and the front became a huge dark lake, which was also very shallow, and the traces of manifold could be seen at the bottom of the lake, which had also been carefully repaired.

Lao Huang took out the wolf's eye flashlight, as soon as I turned it on, the dazzling light almost blinded me, only to see that the opposite side of the lake is a large land, there are stone steps on the edge, obviously artificially built, the water hits the edge of the stone steps, rolls up a small splash, and flows from both sides of the land, I don't know where it flows.

This land is more like a huge altar, from our point of view we can see that it is round, it is too large, it is seventy or eighty meters in diameter, and the most strange thing is that it is full of mirrors, the bronze ones are not very clear, but they are very delicate, even from such a distance that I can see the patterns on the edges of the mirrors.

The light reflected by the mirror illuminated the whole cave, and I realized that this was not a cave, but another large hall, and around the altar there was a circle of stone pillars carved with the same pattern, although this hall was different from the ones we had seen, but the shape of the dome was very similar, but these mirrors were too strange.

We didn't find anything related to mirrors in the ancient city all the way, and suddenly we felt dazed when we saw so many mirrors, all of which were carefully carved and polished, and none of them were exactly the same as far as the eye could see, and this was a mirror museum from a thousand years ago.

"This queen's hobby is quite unique, tsk, women, it really hasn't changed since ancient times," Lao Huang said, and changed his words again, "Daze, did the Qin Dynasty have a mirror at that time?" ”

"You ask me, who do I ask?" I replied unceremoniously to him.

"Didn't you read so many of Qin's books, you don't even know this, you read it all in the donkey's belly?" Lao Huang replied.

"Who would be idle to talk about mirrors, even if there is, I can't remember." I said, moving on.

There won't be so many mirrors here for no reason, if it's really the queen's collection, it shouldn't be placed so messily, it can be placed in such a hidden and unique place, it can be seen that the queen values them very much, there must be something wrong with these mirrors, maybe they hide the answer to escape.

We changed to a normal flashlight, and as we got closer, the moment the light hit the mirror, it became extremely bright, and there was no pattern in their placement, and the puzzles that I had imagined that could only be solved by light reflection did not exist, they were just randomly stacked here.

These mirrors are very large, all full-length floor-to-ceiling mirrors, which can reflect the whole person, and the bronze mirrors reflect our faces, they were once polished and smooth, but here the water vapor is heavy, and many of the mirrors are blurred, and our bodies are distorted, like ghosts.

All sides are full of their own distorted shadows, which makes people uneasy, and one mirror after another layer of shadows forms a mirror array, and there is a layer behind a layer of shadows, countless shadows overlapping together, and with our movements, the shadows move sufficiently, and we can't tell who is who, like hiding countless ghosts.

I only felt that this place was sinister, Lao Huang turned his body to look at it, and his brows furrowed tightly: "Daze, this place is weird, I feel panicked." ”

I, too, have such palpitations for some reason, I can't figure out the meaning of the existence of these mirrors, if the queen really treats them as treasures, they should also be stored in a dry and tidy place, where the moisture is so heavy, don't you watch them corrod?

"Go in and have a look?" Lao Huang asked.

"Don't be, this place is a bit evil, let's turn around from the river."

Lao Huang didn't object, we walked to the river on the left, and after walking out of a few meters, we found that the river in front of us suddenly became bottomless, and the black piece seemed to swallow people in, I almost fell into it, but fortunately Lao Huang reacted quickly and grabbed me.

"Cut, this is forcing us to drill through the cracks in the mirror." Lao Huang snorted.

We glanced at each other, turned around and stepped on the steps to walk to those mirrors, they were not densely placed, there were many gaps in the middle, we couldn't see the pattern, we walked into the mirror array, and after a few steps, we were surrounded by mirrors, and all sides were full of our own shadows, because there were mirrors everywhere, and we could see our whole body wherever we were headed, as if we were seeing the picture of ourselves being monitored.

This feeling is very uncomfortable, the sense of direction and balance are gone, obviously not far in, I can't tell where is forward, this is a mirror maze, not only blind, but also confused, I look at the mirror, the people in the mirror also look at me, I can't even tell which is the real self, with the change of angle, that face or evil, or treacherous, or laughing or cold, has changed thousands of different faces, as if there are thousands of themselves in another world peeping at me.

Maybe that's why I have heart palpitations, the mirror has always been an indispensable part of all kinds of ghost stories, when people face the mirror, who knows if the opposite self is also a living person living in another space?

"Hurry up, that person must be in front." Lao Huang pulled me.

I half-lowered my head and opened my eyes, no longer looking at myself in the mirror, just staring at the ground, but Lao Huang suddenly stopped and pulled me suddenly: "Daze......"

"How?"

I said, raised my head, only to see the bronze mirror in front of me reflected our panicked and distorted faces, but not only the two of us, not far behind us, there was a face, sandwiched between us, vaguely a little familiar, I squinted and looked carefully, why did this face look so much like Eleven?

My heart tightened, and out of the corner of my eye, I saw Lao Huang glaring at me, and we both tacitly turned back together, with nothing behind us, only countless mirrors.

Eleven was gone, but we clearly saw his face in the mirror, and we immediately looked back at the mirror, and there was only us in the mirror, not Eleven.

I suddenly snorted and pulled Lao Huang: "That's definitely not Eleven, Eleven is half a head shorter than me, how can it appear between the two of us?" ”

Lao Huang's face changed, and there was a bit of fear in his eyes: "Maybe it's really ...... I read it wrong. ”

My head was messing around, Eleven's face lingered in front of me, it couldn't be him, the two of us filled the whole mirror to the brim, he only showed one head, with his height it must be invisible, that blurred face couldn't be him.

I looked at the mirror in front of me with palpitations, Lao Huang simply raised his gun and touched it, and there was a crisp collision sound in my ears, this is an ordinary mirror.

Maybe the light just now was wrong, casting our shadows on the other mirrors, but there were just the two of us here, and the blurred face could only be us.

I want to escape from here even more, Lao Huang also quickened his pace, we walked around in the mirror, I don't know what direction we went, the mirrors here are suspended on the frame, and they will change direction when they touch, the deeper they go, the denser they are, we turn around, and we don't know the real direction for a long time.

I was dizzy, helplessly turned my body to look around, glanced to the left and was immediately startled, only to see a third face appear on the mirror facing our left again, this time it will never be our reflection, that fair and blurry face is clearly Xiao Qi!

"Lao Huang, Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi!"

I screamed, but I kept an eye on it, and when Lao Huang turned his head to look to the left, he quickly looked to the right, but the right side was empty and there was nothing.

"How can there be Xiao Qi, are you wrong...... it! ”

I had already turned around when Lao Huang asked, and I saw that Xiao Qi's face did appear on the mirror, where I had just seen.
