Volume 2 The Stone Man of the Western Regions The Stone Man of the Western Regions Chapter 17: Wonderful Murals
The fat man and the scorpion were swallowed by the wall, about the same time as I was knocked unconscious by Yiyi.
That is to say, the two of them have disappeared for about four hours, which is enough time for countless things to happen.
However, I have always had a hunch that now the fat man and the scorpion, like me and Yiyi, should be the same caged birds, trapped in some strange enclosed space.
After hearing my reproach, Yiyi didn't say anything, but her expression was a little lost.
At this time, her face was very haggard, and her hair was simply tied with a head rope. The white cheeks were also stained with dust, and although they still looked beautiful, they had lost a lot of their former brilliance in their eyes.
One after another incredible things befell her, even if I experienced the total weirdness of Zhao Tuo's underground palace, now I am a little unbearable.
Even when I was surrounded by corpse cockroaches, I had completely given up!
I thought that since Heaven didn't want me to die so easily, there must be more important things waiting for me to accomplish.
"The heavens will descend on the people, and they must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, and starve their bodies and skin..."
Thinking about it, I actually said it directly.
After spending a long time with the fat man, my personality began to be influenced by him. In the past, I would never have had this kind of free and easy thinking.
Now, I find that my stubborn and somewhat obscure nature has been mixed with a lot of optimism.
Sometimes, when you have been in contact with a person with a very distinctive personality for a long time, you will be easily infected, and this change is common to all people.
"Huh? What did you say? ”
Because my voice was not loud, Yiyi didn't hear clearly.
Looking at Yiyi looking at me with incomprehensible beautiful eyes, I suddenly thought of a question!
How can God not let me die so easily, it is all an unrealistic gimmick that people think of after surviving from a desperate situation, how many people have relied on this gimmick to rekindle their fighting spirit stronger than ever after surviving in a desperate situation, so they have created a shocking cause.
And it is not surprising that I have this idea, but the reality is that the reason why I did not die so easily is not God's mercy at all, but Ah Jin's idea.
"Yiyi, the person who knocked you out, do you see who it is?"
This question was actually redundant, and I knew in my heart that that the masterpiece must also be Ah Jin's.
Ke Yiyi's answer was a bit unexpected to me.
"I didn't even have time to look back before I started to get confused! But..."
She paused suddenly, as if to make sure of the accuracy of her recollection, and then continued:
"Before I was about to pass out, I saw a shadow in the glow of my headlamp.
It was a thing full of tentacles that kept shaking behind my back! ”
"You mean the person who knocked you unconscious, not Ah Jin!"
I asked the question repeatedly, to be sure, but also to vent my surprise.
Yiyi nodded firmly, if he said this as a fat man, I might have suspected that he was adjusting the atmosphere.
But these words came out of Yiyi's mouth, so I had to believe it.
"Yiyi, think about it, is that shadow the kind of body like a maggot, and then full of tentacles?"
When she mentioned the tentacles, I suddenly remembered the Heart Gu King in Zhao Tuo's underground palace.
Before the fat man and I left from Beijing, Aunt Ming asked us to find out what connection this place had with the Zhao Tuo Underground Palace in Yongzhou, Hunan.
Since the second uncle was able to determine this place in Xinjiang with his power, there must be some connection with Zhao Tuo's tomb.
Perhaps, in the near future, the coffin of another member of our Su family will appear in front of my eyes. It's like my father's coffin that appeared in Zhao Tuo's underground palace.
"It's not the kind of appearance you say, it's more like a person, with extra tentacles growing all over his body. Moreover, that man's height is about the same as Ah Jin! ”
Yiyi thought about my question for a while, and then said firmly.
Again, her answer surprised me a little, and I realized that at the moment, my pineal gland was not as strong as I thought it would be.
I thought that with my strong intuition, any of my thoughts would be similar to reality.
But after I said what I thought, my experience with Yiyi was completely different. It seems that I can't fully trust my ability, just like the fat man said, I am the contemporary Duan Yu, in addition to not having Duan Yu's good peach blossom luck, his stupid kung fu is exactly the same as mine.
Aunt Ming also said that the ancestors of our Su family who had this ability in the past were extremely powerful. They can even predict the future accurately.
Such power is like that of a soothsayer in a mythical story.
can be passed on to me, but he only ended up with the title of contemporary Duan Yu. I don't know what kind of mysterious force is secretly hindering this ability of our Su family, perhaps, it is the mysterious "headless country organization" mentioned by Aunt Ming.
Thinking of this, I want to know even more about what that hidden organization is like and what their purpose is!
"Su Mo, when you were unconscious, I explored the space here and found something familiar to us."
As I pondered the connections between all the events, Yiyi said as she picked up the bright flashlight that had been placed on the ground. Then open it and shine it on the wall to my right.
Maybe it was the medicine she gave me that worked, and with the beam of her flashlight, I realized that I was able to turn sideways.
At the end of the beam, I saw a painted mural on the wall.
"Ears!"
The moment I saw the mural, I exclaimed. The frescoes on the walls are exactly the same as the ears on the stone wall that we see in the photographs of the 1985 expedition in the cave space outside the stone gate!
"Well, it's an aerial view of Lop Nur."
Yiyi responded.
I took a closer look at the ear mural printed on the wall, and then looked back and forth around the mural.
Yiyi immediately saw what I was thinking, and then broke my guess in one word.
"It's not the same place as the one taken by the expedition more than 20 years ago."
After Yiyi finished speaking, he got up and walked to the wall with the mural printed on it.
"Stop! Have you forgotten the strange "steppe stone men" hidden in the walls? ”
Seeing her movements, I shouted anxiously. It's hard to be able to reunite with her again, and I really don't want to have another "Prairie Stone Man" to separate us at this moment!
"Don't worry Su Mo, when you were unconscious, I had already tried it many times. This space is different from the outside world, and the stone figures seem to be afraid of these murals. Don't dare to come here at all! ”
Hearing my anxious shout, Yiyi turned back to me and smiled confidently.
Sure enough, when she approached the wall engraved with the overlook of Lop Nur, on the two walls connected to the wall, countless "steppe stone people" rumbled out.
But none of them moved to the wall that Yiyi was nearing, just circled in place at the two walls. Like a headless fly, when it reaches the edge of a wall, it turns around and walks back, and then back, and so on.
As Yiyi said, the murals on this wall seem to have some kind of magic that scares these stone figures, so that they dare not approach!
"Look, I'm right!"
After the stone figures appeared in the state I saw, Yiyi turned around and grimaced at me in a nice voice.
Seeing her playful appearance again, my heart became a little softer.
"Su Mo, don't blink..."
As Yiyi walked to the end of the mural, she flashed her flashlight at my location a few times. But instead of the fat man, who trampled into my eyes, he was afraid that the bright light would irritate my eyes, and just trance to the top of my head to make a reminder.
My eyes widened in obedience.
I found that for so many years, what can make me so obedient and obedient, except for the gentle Aunt Ming like a mother, is the Yiyi in front of me.
As I stared at Yiyi's location with wide eyes, I saw a scene of surprise.
I saw that the wall changed in an instant under Yiyi's touch.
The original bird's-eye view in the shape of an ear suddenly became another mural.
The mural is carved like a photograph. Under the light of the light of Yiyi's point, it is even clearer.
It was a few raised hills, and beyond the hills there were ruins and broken ridges, and the surrounding area was covered with yellow sand, and there was a lake in the distance, and the water was clear...
Under the touch of Yiyi's hand again, the appearance of the picture changed back to the appearance of "ears". It was as if her hands were magical, capable of controlling the changes in the walls.
"It's fun..."
In my shock, Yiyi said.
"It's... What's going on? ”
Shocked by the magical mural in front of me, I stuttered a little.
"It's like an advanced thermal imaging technique, and only the body temperature of the person makes the mural change.
Do you remember a type of card we played when we were kids?
That kind of card is a kind of graphic in the dark, but when you look at it in the sun, it becomes a different kind of shape.
Although the transformation of the mural we see in front of us is not the same principle, it is all similar to the same thing. ”
I do have an impression of the card that Yiyi said. Although my father and I live in a ravine and are almost isolated from the outside world, every time my second uncle comes, I get a lot of toys or delicious food.
And my father simply locked me in an iron house and didn't let me have contact with my second uncle, as soon as my second uncle left, I would be free, and those things that my second uncle brought would become my compensation.
The card that Yiyi mentioned was one of the toys that my second uncle brought me in my childhood.
However, this kind of advanced thermal imaging technology is probably difficult to achieve with modern technology, and even if it is implemented, it is very, very expensive technology.
Now, this kind of technology can be found in this enclosed space!
