39. Life and death are up to heaven

I looked over and found that there were words engraved in the two rectangles, this time it was no longer a strange text, and it was an ancient Chinese character at a glance, with a lot of traditional characters in it, which was not the same as the ancient Chinese character penmanship of the Khitan King in the stone chamber of Green Lake Villa.

The book of the Khitan king is a pen walking dragon and snake, vigorous and powerful, but the words engraved here appear delicate, like a woman's book. Looking at its content again, there are only four words engraved on the left: Life and death are up to heaven. On the right side is engraved a sentence: This technique is given to those who are destined, hoping to devote themselves to practicing and relieving the world.

I looked at the recess on the right, and I didn't see any engravings anywhere else. What exactly does the above say "this technique is given to those who are destined"?

Sheng Shiyao solved my confusion, he said: "No need to look for it, there should have been a silk book in it, but someone took it." What I'm curious about is what was put on the other side, and why did it engrave the words "life and death?" ”

"Huh? Taken away? I sighed very regretfully, since I learned that there was Huang Xingyuan's secret, but whenever I saw the word "technique", it was naturally associated with it, and I felt that this "technique" might be the number of techniques that the wizard saved the prophet girl and later practiced.

Seeing that Sheng Shiyao's gaze had been staring at the groove on the other side and pondering, I had no choice but to lean over and study. Comparing the two, I found that there is actually a difference between these two grooves, obviously the right one is smaller, and it can also put the size of a silk book, while the left one is slightly larger, and it is an inch deeper, I guessed to myself: "Could it be a thicker silk book here?" Life and death depend on heaven...... Life and death are up to heaven! His eyes suddenly lit up, and he made a bold assumption: "Eh, do you think it is possible that there are actually two kinds of secret techniques, one is the resurrection technique, and the other is the kind of side door left technique, and then the resurrection technique is called 'life and death by the sky' on the left, and the left way is placed on the right side of the side door, saying that it is given to people who are destined." ”

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that it was possible, and I only hated that we were one step late, and the silk book was taken away.

But he heard Sheng Shiyao say on the side: "Not necessarily." He shone his flashlight carefully, and then reached into the groove and touched it for a week, "You see the faΓ§ade here is not as smooth as the right side, and there are very fine grooves carved in some places, and there is a small piece of recess on the side next to us. ”

I learned from him to look closer, and found that this is indeed the case, is it because the workmanship is not fine? Obviously unlikely, then there must be a reason for these concave surfaces on the inner wall. A sudden flash of lightning flashed into his mind, wasn't this rectangular groove about the size of a purple gold box? And the depression on the inner wall seems to be the shackle of the box. I hurriedly touched the box in my arms, this time I came out, I always carried the box in my arms, it was a little awkward, but I was at ease, and it was thanks to my decision that I was not lost in the desert.

After the box was taken out, I compared the size, and found that it was really about the same, and even the thickness was similar. At this time, there is no need to explain to Sheng Shiyao, he naturally understands my actions. I moved the box to the top of the groove, and then put it down, and I was happy when I put it in at the bottom of the box, but it was only halfway through the set, and there was a problem, there was a small purple gold lock hanging on the box, it was stuck directly on the stone platform, and the plug could not be stuffed in, and I wanted to put the whole box in, obviously to remove the lock.

I took out the box and said to Sheng Shiyao: "I can basically determine that this position may be a box." "Suddenly remembered that he also had a box over there, it was unlocked, and it was taken out of that stone room, it was probably the object of the Khitan king, could it be the box placed in the groove?

Without waiting for me to ask, I saw him take out the purple gold box, it turned out that he also carried it with him, and the two of them had a good heart. This time it was effortless, just embedded the box in it, only to hear the "click", the box actually turned clockwise in the groove, stopped after a week, and then boom, the wings of the giant bat sculpture in front of me began to slowly rise, as if it was alive.

When the wings were raised to the height of more than one person, he stopped, and was shocked to see two stone doors exposed behind them, and a word was written on the stone doors, the left side was "life", and the right side was "death".

If you don't see it with your own eyes, I'm afraid it's hard to believe that there is a hole behind the giant relief!

The clever design of the mechanism can really be described as wonderful, it turns out that the box taken out of the green lake stone room is not unlocked, but it itself is the key to open the door of life and death in this relief. In this way, the person who stole the blue glass beads only saw the silk book in the recess on the right side of the stone platform, and the left side was empty, because the box was hidden in the stone room of the village of Green Lake, thousands of miles away.

This is yet another paradox of temporal confusion. If the Khitan king is in front, the wizard is behind, and the box to open the mechanism is over there, how is the mechanism made here? This contradiction seems to indicate that history here should precede the Khitan king, but how can a wizard become a member of the royal family? Is it still incognito, and the royal family is left behind in the people's bloody plot? Or like Qiao Feng in Jin Yong? This is really a bit outrageous, it is all made up by later generations.

Shaking his head with a dark smile, he retracted his mind and stared at the two doors in front of him, and asked the person next to him, "Do you want to go in?" After asking, I thought that it had come to this point, and naturally I wanted to go in to see, so I asked, "Which door to enter?" ”

Sheng Shiyao squinted his eyes and said slowly: "Good life and death are determined by heaven, the door of life may not be life, and the door of death may not be death, it is all determined by heaven." But since the mechanism here is set up by the woman, and the key to open the mechanism is the box of the Khitan king, then life is life, death is death, choose the left door of life! ”

I was amazed and said, "How do you know that the prophet girl set up the organs?" ”

"What the two layers of carvings tell me is that the first layer of carvings seems to depict a woman coming back to life from a bystander perspective, but everywhere it alludes to the person outside the painting; The second layer of carvings is clear, depicting the process of the wizard from birth to death, with a hidden sense of sorrow, which can only come from a woman. The last place where the wizard lay down should be behind these two doors. ”

"The wizard is dead?" I asked, surprised, and I thought he was sleeping in the last picture.

Sheng Shiyao said: "The prophet is against the mandate of heaven, and the resurrection of the dead is retrograde, both of which are contrary to the natural conventions, and the catastrophe should befall itself." And no matter how clever the number is, you can save others, but you may not be able to save yourself. ”

In other words, in order to save the prophet girl, the wizard exchanged one life for another? A nameless sorrow rose from the bottom of my heart, for the prophetic girl, when she saw the wizard die before her eyes, she must have been very sad.

Sheng Shiyao took my hand and walked to the door, and opened the door with a gentle push, and a cold air came to his face. Afraid that the gas would be poisonous, he hurriedly took out a gas mask from his pocket and handed it to me, asking me to put it on, and then walked into the stone gate. I was still frightened by the strange horrors I had encountered, because two meters inside the door, there was a figure with his back to us. Fortunately, with a night vision device, I quickly saw that it was not a real person, but an ice sculpture figure, and the dress was a woman, no wonder the room was so cold.

Looking around again, I noticed that there was a wall made of ice, which was the one connected to the dead door next door, but because the ice wall was too thick, I couldn't see what was in the house on the other side. We walked to the front of the ice statue and were stunned, because when we saw that it was a woman dressed up, we guessed that it might be a statue of the Prophet Girl, but in all the previous paintings she was masked, and this statue has no veil.

Very young, or to be more specific, a girl of about fifteen years old, her facial features are the most prominent eyes, and the smart eyes show the wisdom in them. This is supposed to be the appearance of the prophet girl when she was old after her resurrection, and looking at her face, I have a good feeling in my heart for no reason. In fact, when I was looking at the mural outside, I was emotionally moved by her many times.

Because it is an ice sculpture, her whole body is as crystal clear, her clothes and hair bun are exquisitely depicted, her left hand is pressed on her waist, her right hand is slightly raised, and her index finger points somewhere forward.

Looking in that direction, I saw two paintings carved on the stone wall, the first one was a man standing in front of the black-winged bat relief outside the stone gate, holding two beads in his hand, looking down at the middle of the stone platform that had been raised, the two rectangular grooves on the stone platform, sure enough, the left one was empty, and the right one was filled with a silk book. In the second painting, which is still in the same position, two people are standing in front of the stone platform, the silk book in the right recess is gone, and one of them is holding a box and placing it in the left recess.

The depiction of the characters in the two paintings is very simple, only a few fictitious strokes represent people, but I was shocked to see it. Let's not talk about the first one, isn't this second one just a painting for us? Could it be that this girl could have predicted that someone would come here in a thousand years? The first painting depicts the person who took away the silk book, and it is very likely that he is the founder of the origin of Huang Xingyuan's secret art, and Zhou Jing said that Huang Xingyuan's lineage has been inherited for nearly 500 years.

If the age of the ancient city is a thousand years ago, it means that the prophet girl predicted two scenes five hundred years later and a thousand years later, respectively, because of the difference in the times, she could not depict the dress of the descendants, and could only depict it with a simple brushstroke. Clearly, both prophecies were fulfilled.

Since she can predict what will happen five hundred years and a thousand years later, she must also be able to predict our current predicament. Thinking of this, I immediately touched the ice sculpture everywhere to see if there were any other mechanisms.

Sheng Shiyao stopped me, saying that ice sculptures are different from stone sculptures, their solidity is not as strong as stones, and it is impossible for institutions to exist. If there is any pointing, it will only be in other parts of the house, such as ...... The position of the fingers of the ice sculpture is the two paintings that predict the future. I thought it made sense, and I wanted to step forward, but I accidentally bumped into the left hand of the ice sculpture girl, and I didn't think that the ice sculpture was so fragile that my entire elbow was broken to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, there was a cracking sound in my ears, and countless stripes cracked on the ice sculpture's body, which could crack and collapse at any time. I was so frightened that I couldn't speak, Sheng Shiyao quickly pulled me aside, at this time, a soft sigh suddenly came from the confined space, and a slow low soft voice sounded: "Master, I finally waited for you." ”
