Chapter 176: The Invisible Mural
A wave of unevenness rose again and again, and the footsteps just now ushered in the chicken foot god, and what kind of monster made the footsteps now? It was impossible for Yin Lao to follow so quickly, and it was impossible for there to be two exits in the same passage.
The three of us all clenched the things in our hands and prepared to fight for their lives with the things that were about to step up the stairs, but what we didn't expect was that the footsteps suddenly stopped, and after a few seconds of froze, the footsteps began to go down the stairs, like a person who was about to go upstairs suddenly remembered to forget the things downstairs and turned back.
This didn't make me feel much easier, but even made me more nervous, because it meant that the person who made the footsteps had the ability to think for himself, and if the other party tried to kill us, it would be more terrible to us than a zombie who only acted on instinct.
The three of us didn't dare to act rashly, our eyes were staring at the staircase on the other side, although I really wanted to know what was on the stairs just now, but I really didn't have the courage to go over and find out, Zhang Qian took a deep breath several times before whispering: "That's the best, we don't have to confront him head-on when he leaves by himself, now it's better to find that Luo Daoist and leave here quickly." ”
I nodded, and looked around to see the second floor of the attic, although the area above is very large, but how to look like a huge stage, the stairs on both sides leading to the second floor are where the actors enter the stage, and at the front is an uncovered wall of air, standing on which you can clearly see the layout of the house below.
The location we are should be directly in front of the ancestral hall, the bamboo forest is at the far end, the distance in a straight line is about three or four hundred meters, I turned my head to look at Jia Mo, "Do you have any other impressions of this place?" Where did that light come from? ”
"I don't know, but we were walking up, and the light seemed to be shining down from the top down, and it didn't have an angle to the stairs." After Jia Mo finished speaking, Zhang Qian shook his head, "How is this possible, this attic is the tallest building in Liujia Village, even the books we see are not as high as this attic, and the light is so strong that you can temporarily go blind, at least it is a spotlight or searchlight or something, our kind of flashlight can't do it in an instant." ”
This is indeed the truth, I nodded and looked around and then looked overhead, there are no lamps on the roof of the second floor, so it is ruled out that the light source inside the attic caused the possibility that Jia Mo was blinded, the light source should come from the outside, but it is a little difficult to find a point higher than the attic in Liujia Village, and the top of the highest tree is only just to the platform we are on.
"Don't worry about what is not light, where did that Luo Dao Chang go is the question we should be most concerned about, you look at the back." Zhang Qian's flashlight hit the wall next to the stairs, there seemed to be a mural on it, but the lines were blurred, and the color of his eyes almost faded to the same color as the wall, and he couldn't see that he was ugly.
"It seems to be some kind of sacrificial act." Zhang Qian said to himself, walked over and stretched out his hand to touch the wall, I muttered, "It's all like this, you can still see what you are drawing?" ”
"Which one? Isn't it clear? This is a mountain, and inside the cave is a bunch of masked sacrifices, and next to it is an altar, tsk, this sacrifice is very bloody, and there are two corpses on it, no, no, two living people who have been disemboweled, you see, these two people are still struggling, but their limbs are nailed to the stakes, and there is no way to break free.
Blood flowed down the line from the altar as if to fill a figure on the ground, and on the far right of the wood was tied a flag, and the totem on it couldn't tell what it was, but it looked like a cow because it had horns, huh? How come there is still a Taoist priest wearing a Taoist robe tied aside? ”
Zhang Qian completely ignored us pacing back and forth in front of the wall to observe carefully, and while watching, he told us the stories that might happen above, and I turned my head to look at Jia Mo strangely, but I didn't expect him to look intently at the place Zhang Qian pointed to, as if he could also see the murals on the wall clearly.
"I saw this mural when I first came up, I didn't care about it at the time, but now I really found a lot of useful information when I look closely, you see the carved stones placed outside the cave, it's like a huge egg, there are embryos in it, and I don't know what kind of animal eggs this is."
Zhang Qian held his chin and stared at it thoughtfully, and Jia Mo said: "Maybe it's some kind of hybrid monster, the thing with chicken feet we just saw can't just jump out of here, right?" ”
The atmosphere of the discussion between the two of them became stronger and stronger, and I was left aside like a transparent person, and finally I couldn't help but interrupt them after interjecting, "You two can't be acting with me, are you?" Is there really a painting on this wall? Can you really see it? ”
"Can't you see?" Jia Mo asked me in surprise, and I nodded, "If I could see what I am talking nonsense, I would have participated in your heated discussions a long time ago, and it is because I don't see what you said on this wall that I think it's strange." ”
The two of them looked at each other with a look at each other, and Zhang Qian walked around me twice, "Are you not good at looking?" This mural is colorful, even if you don't shine it with a flashlight, you can see it, you want to say that you are color blind, but there are not only red and green colors on it, black and white can always be seen, right? ”
As he spoke, he walked to the middle of the wall and pointed to the top of his head, "Can you see the white snow peaks on it?" ”
I walked over and craned my neck almost to widen my eyes, there was nothing on the wall except a gray cloud, I turned my head to look at him suspiciously, Zhang Qian's mouth opened wide in disbelief, and he walked to the end of the wall next to the stairs again, "What about here?" If you're okay with your eyes, you should be able to see a large pool of red blood over here. ”
"Pool of blood?" I looked at the position he was pointing at suspiciously, I really wanted to pick out my eyeballs to see if there was really a problem, Jamer walked up to me and asked seriously, "You really can't see it?" ”
"I don't have to worry so much if I can see it." I took a deep breath and rubbed my eyes, the two of them can see and I can't, then they must have something in common that I don't have, what is this commonality?
After thinking for a while, the answer seems to be that there is only blood, they are all descendants of the Liu family, so they can only see the paintings on the wall with this bloodline.
