Chapter 368: Mural
"Wait!" I grabbed Shen Qin and said.
Everyone had just focused on the enemy lurking in this basement looking for our unknown secrets, but an idea popped into me.
Shen Qin stopped his movements, looked at me, and said, What's wrong?
"Aunt Shen, did you say that we are looking in the wrong direction, if the secret is still under this basement, why would the enemy make such an earthquake, isn't it a waste of energy?" I looked at her and asked.
Everyone was stunned, and suddenly understood what I meant.
Yes, if the secret is really under this village, why would the enemy sink this place so deeply? Isn't it good to dig straight down?
"And what do you mean?" Although Shen Qin understood my thoughts, he didn't know what I wanted to say later.
I shook my head, and said in my heart that this time is very strange, and this trap below is probably just a pretense, and it is best to harm us, and if not, then use this place to drag us down, so that it will be convenient for the enemy to do bad things elsewhere.
As soon as I told everyone what I thought, Shen Qin had already taken out a pile of rune paper and put it back: "It makes sense for you to say this, the more the enemy wants us to be fooled, the more we ignore this place." ”
"Well, for the sake of now, let's search the whole village first, maybe we can find something somewhere else." I say to everyone.
Glancing back at the swarthy passage, I closed the entrance directly, and then followed everyone to the courtyard of the ancestral hall.
"Everyone is familiar with this place, let's search in two ways, and if we find anything unusual, we will quickly notify the people on the other side, and then go over to support immediately." I said to everyone in the courtyard.
Everyone nodded, at the moment, I was in a group with Su Che and Lin Yue, and the others were in a group with Shen Qin, and walked out of the ancestral shrine towards the houses on both sides.
The outside is still the same as before, and the dead silence gives people an extremely depressing feeling.
The three of us didn't speak, but silently walked forward to the nearest door.
I am familiar with every house in the village, this is the home of the second aunt of the neighbor, I used to come to their house to play when I was a child, and I still know the layout of this house very well.
The three of them searched and found nothing unusual, so they went out and turned around and went to the back house.
In this way, the three of us almost looked at the eastern half of the village, including my family and Su Che's house, and we didn't find anything strange.
"It's really weird, there's nothing unusual at all, which in itself is very abnormal." I muttered as I walked to the last house at the back of the village.
This is the original village chief's home, I have some memories of this place, as soon as I stood at the door of the courtyard, the image of their family of three came to mind, Wang Lin and her parents, the three of them and I have a deep hatred, so I can't help but sigh.
Lin Yue could also understand my feelings, so he said beside me: "Their death is deserved, and it has nothing to do with you, what a sigh!" ”
I shook my head helplessly, brushed aside the unpleasant experiences I had had, and stepped into the courtyard.
This house was once lived in by Su Che's brothers for a while, but then moved out, because the time distance is not long, so the house does not show how dilapidated, just because of the psychological effect, I always feel a little gloomy.
The door was locked, and we looked around the yard and didn't see anything out of the ordinary, and we didn't want to break in, so we turned around and wanted to leave.
But as soon as I turned around, I suddenly saw a golden light flash in the room!
"Huh?" I spun back and stared at the window, trying to see where the golden light came from.
It's a pity that now there is nothing left.
"What's wrong?" Su Che asked as he returned to me.
I told him what I had found, and he asked with a wry smile, "Is it your delusion, the doors of the house are locked, how can there be people inside?" ”
When I looked up at the sky, I saw that the sunlight was not shining at all, and now the sky was still an earthy yellow, and the smoke and dust were still in the air.
"No, if the sun doesn't shine in, there won't be anything reflected in the house, this house is weird!" I said in a deep voice, not listening to Su Che's joke at all.
He and Lin Yue saw that I looked nervous, and they also became nervous, and they wanted to step forward to check.
I grabbed Su Che and said don't worry, since there is a discovery, we have to wait until everyone arrives, otherwise it will not be safe.
We have long understood the cunning of the enemy, and it is not possible to be less careful.
Lin Yue had already called Shen Qin and them through the psychic connection, and they also knew the location of the village chief's house, so they rushed over after a few minutes.
After the meeting, I told them what I had accidentally discovered, and Shen Qin said: "We also searched over there, but we really didn't find anything, if there is no problem here, the whole village will be fine." ”
I nodded: "That's it, the situation here is so weird, it's impossible that no one is making a ghost, Aunt Shen, what do you say, let's just kick the door open and rush in?" ”
"No, don't be impulsive yet, have you seen the back of the house?" Shen Qin asked.
I was stunned, there was a narrow alley behind the house, and we really hadn't been there before.
Seeing my expression, Shen Qin knew what was going on, walked around the house, glanced at the back of the house from the east, and then said in a daze: "It's really weird, come on!" ”
Everyone hurriedly followed, only to see a big hole in the wall at the back of the house!
"Don't rush forward yet, we've all seen the weirdness in the basement just now, be careful that there is a problem here." Shen Qin said cautiously, squatting down and picking up a broken brick and throwing it over.
The pile head rolled from the ground to the vicinity of the hole without any abnormality, and everyone was relieved, and then slowly approached there.
When we got closer, we realized that the hole did not lead directly into the village chief's house, but sloped downward.
The entrance of the cave can be as high as a person, more than a meter wide, and it is more than enough for a person to walk in, but the black hole inside is not clear, and it is not clear how deep it is.
Shen Qin picked up the brick just now, glanced at us, and threw it directly into the hole.
There was a long clanging sound, and he turned his head as if he was striking on an iron vessel, tumbling all the way down, and after a long time there was no movement!
"My good boy, this hole is so deep!" Shen Qin smacked his tongue and said.
Not only is it deep, but what is even more surprising is that the wall of the cave seems to be metal!
What's going on, there is such a strange space under the village chief's house, and the enemy should be down there, right?
"It depends on the situation, there is no danger in this passage, let's go down and have a look, shall we?" Shen Qin was very adventurous, and the first one couldn't help but say to everyone.
I smiled bitterly, it has reached this point, and it won't work if I don't go down, so I nodded and said, "Well, it's still the old rule, I'm the first and everyone last." ”
Luckily, we all had lighting equipment with us, so when we were ready, we walked through the entrance of the cave, and within two meters I noticed the change in the walls of the cave.
The walls of the cave had been excavated from the dirt, but now they were black metal, cold to the touch, and the air smelled of rust.
"This thing seems to be very old, it's really weird." Shen Qin muttered quietly behind him.
Unexpectedly, although her voice was small, because of the metal cave wall, the sound could not spread to the outside world, so it echoed in this passage several times.
If there were people down there, they would have been ready to meet the enemy down there with the turn of their heads just now and the sound of their voices now, right?
But that's okay, we didn't want to make this a good deal in the first place, and if someone happens to be right, we can just ask them what they covet.
Calm returned to the metal passageway, except for the glow of the flashlights in everyone's hands, and I walked along the somewhat sloping ground.
This passage does not lead straight to the ground, and there are a few turns in the back, no wonder the bricks just made such a sound!
After walking for about ten minutes, the ground returned to a level state, and the passage began to slowly become wider.
"Wait, what do you think this is?" Lin Yue suddenly shouted in the psychic connection, and the five-person group stopped when they heard it.
Only Shen Qin and Su Che, who didn't hear it, were still walking forward, and almost bumped into Lin Yue, who suddenly stopped.
Under the light of the flashlight, we found that there were murals on the black cave wall!
Generally, this kind of thing can appear, except for the ancient tomb, which is some ruins and the like, and there will be strokes in this mysterious metal passage, what kind of place will this be?
Everyone looked at the murals in amazement, and found that the things painted on them were very hideous and terrifying, and many of them looked like human beings, but they had the heads of wild beasts, and the appearance of each blue-faced fangs was very scary.
As soon as these things appeared, the atmosphere of the scene became even more eerie, and the air was very solemn, and I couldn't help but think to myself: "What does such a scary thing paint on the wall represent?" ”
Shen Qin seemed to know more about these things, and gently scraped the wall with her long sword, and the corner of the mural suddenly turned into powder and drifted away, and then she turned back to us and whispered: "These paintings are at least more than a thousand years old, and the pigment is very weathered, and it seems that they can't be kept for too long." ”
"What does that mean?" I asked, without answering.
Shen Qin shook his head and said I look like some kind of sacrificial scene, but the shape of those things is really strange, and it looks like a legendary thing.
"What's that?" I hurriedly asked.
"Yaksha!" Shen Qin whispered.
I've never heard of this before, and when she says it, she's blindsided.
"It's something from ancient legends, terrifying creatures from hell." Shen Qin said to us.
A gust of wind blew, and the dim flashlight shone on the walls, as if the Yaksha were alive!
