Chapter 776: The Gouged Face
The knife had already gone in, and we didn't expect it at all, so we were all stunned for a moment.
"Don't make everyone nervous." One-eyed Zhang said: "This is not an ancient tomb, how can it be so evil, even if it is the place where Xiaodao's ancestors lived, what about it?" The knife is kind, and his ancestors will not be far behind. ”
"He's kind?" Phoenix shook her head and followed.
We followed closely behind, following the footprints of the knife, and the knife stood in the distance, shining a flashlight in one place. We leaned in, and it was a wall, and it was full of murals.
The scale of the mural is huge, as far as the eye can see, all the places we can see in this space, there are murals, the content in the painting is also very colorful, there are clouds and mountains and fog, there are street pavilions and the city, the painting is hierarchical, close to the ground is the scenery, the building and the downtown area, people are bustling, lively and extraordinary, the upper end of the wall is the flow of cloud painting, you can see that there are buildings in the clouds, many people are flying clouds, depicting the scene of the fairy world.
To our great surprise, every character in the painting, if you look at it from the form, posture and lines, are lifelike, but they all have no faces, not swearing, it is true, I change the meaning, that is, all of them have no facial features, making such a majestic atmosphere, realistic and prosperous A huge mural looks extremely weird.
I looked at the beard, he was also looking at me, we both tacitly remembered, and at the same time remembered the experience of the ancient tomb in Kunshan, but the murals of the ancient tomb in Kunshan are different from the painting style here, I can't tell what connection there is between them, or it is pure coincidence.
Xiaodao was extremely calm, everyone did not speak, and the atmosphere was particularly depressing.
"Where's the face?" Reiko broke the calm and rubbed his face.
"Taken away." One-eyed Zhang touched the face of a person on the mural and said, "Everyone's face has been cut by a sharp blade. And you see, this wall was also burned by the fire, but the colors on the murals are still intact, which means that after the burning, someone repaired the murals anew, but for some reason, after repairing the murals, they had to dig out their faces. ”
"Could it be because I didn't pay my salary?" The fat cow said.
"If your boss doesn't pay you, do you dare to dig out his face?" Slingshot asked, sneaking a glance at the thimble and me.
The fat cow shook his head: "We have accountants, and our salaries are all paid by finance." ”
"Master Thimble, let's hire an accountant too." Slingshot asked tentatively.
The thimble showed his dimples: "No problem, the accountant's salary is on you." ”
"There must be another reason for the face being gouged." I followed the direction of the mural and looked down, and suddenly, I was behind a building and saw a face.
It was a face with facial features, very small, out of proportion to all the figures in the mural, this face looked a little obscene, hiding in the cracks of the building, as if it was peeping, peeping into the world in the mural.
Ancient Chinese murals are very distinctive, in order to highlight a key factor or character, some exaggerated enlargement will be done, so that the mural wants to express the things and priorities at a glance. According to this common sense, the main thing to depict on the mural should be those people and gods, not this little person, but all people and gods have no faces, but this little man has all facial features and rich expressions, it can be seen that the painter has put a lot of effort into him, which seems to be putting the cart before the horse.
"If something goes wrong, there must be a demon." The beard snorted: "Does the painter want to tell us that this little friend has face blindness?" ”
"This villain was added later, he doesn't belong to that world." The knife said, pointing in one direction: "There are still over there." ”
We followed his finger and saw a small figure in the branches of a tree, who seemed to be peeping at the same form as before.
This time I looked carefully and seemed to understand the meaning of the knife, the mural was carved and outlined with color, and the two villains, the lines were black, and there were no other processing components, they were painted, not carved.
"Spies? Or the Cowherd? The beard pinched his chin: "What are they looking at?" ”
"Don't look at me!" Suddenly, Sadako let out a scream that startled us, and we saw that she seemed to be crazy, clutching her hair, not daring to look at the murals.
I was closest to her and patted her on the shoulder: "It's just a mural, what are you afraid of?" Do you see something? ”
Sadako has not been very stable since she was rescued by Jiang Rong and them from the hands of the ice fetus, and I am afraid that if this continues, she will go crazy.
Suddenly, she looked up at me, her eyes were extremely frightened, she stared at me for a moment, and her whole body began to tremble: "You...... How did you...... Down? Before I could react, she screamed again and collapsed to the ground.
I was a little confused, and Lei Zi patted me: "What does she mean?" Did you her? ”
I went to look in Sadako's eyes and found that her pupils couldn't focus, and I was shocked, she was crazy, what did she see that would make her crazy all at once? Is there anything else on the mural that we haven't seen? Thinking about it, I went to see the mural, and suddenly I heard movement behind me, and then I was grabbed by the shoulder with a knife, and he carried it out at once, and at the same time I listened to the knock, and when I looked back, I saw Sadako holding the stone, and it fell on the place where I was standing just now, and the dust was smashed up, and she choked a violent cough.
"This crazy woman." Raiko went up and kicked the stone out, and Sadako pushed Reiko away, turned around and ran.
"Chase!" After the knife finished speaking, he chased it out like a gust of wind.
We were a little overwhelmed, and One-Eyed opened the blindfold and looked around: "Why can't I see?" ”
The beard cut: "Legend has it that madmen can indeed see some strange things, you are yin and yang eyes, and you are not crazy eyes, or you will also make yourself crazy?" Saying that, he patted me: "Go, chase!" ”
We didn't talk anymore, and we all chased in the direction that Sadako had run away, and this toss stirred up the calm layer of volcanic ash on the ground at once, and fluttered everywhere, although we were all wearing gas masks, but still felt a little choked.
After a few steps of running, everyone was already choking, and I noticed that the dust had drifted up, reflecting a strange sheen in the light, but for a moment it was indescribable.
Everyone slowed down noticeably, and only then did they get out of that predicament. Following the footprints, we chased quickly, and a long corridor appeared in front of us, but half of it had collapsed, and we could only enter it with a cat's waist, and the footprints entered the corridor, and no one hesitated, and they got in.
I was about to drill, hesitated for a moment, and felt a little undead in the mural, so I looked back again, and suddenly my heart was shocked, because I found that the dust behind me, which we stirred up, seemed to be blocked by something in the process of falling, and gradually showed some outlines.
There's something there! I became nervous, and was about to look at the outline of what it was, when the one-eyed Zhang behind me suddenly stretched out his hand and pushed me into the corridor: "Don't look back, I saw it, it's the same kind of thing as the one in the underground ghost town." ”
