183. Lines on bronze doors
When I received the parchment roll in my hand, I only looked at it and found that its corners had been sewn with a cloth specially sewn around, probably for fear of being worn out by looking too much, but judging from its color, he had preserved it very well in the past thirty years.
The parchment roll is divided into two sides, both of which are spread out to the size of half a table. The front is indeed a thumbnail of the terrain in the entire cave, from the stone pillar array on the mountain to the deep pool, the secret passage, the echo stone space, the round platform, and the bronze gate...... Wait a minute, the whole picture is about 50 centimeters long and about 30 centimeters wide, progressing from top to bottom, and then at this bronze door, there is a blank space of nearly half of the picture, could this blank refer to the sixty-four caves we are in now, how big must it be?
I couldn't help but feel a shock and a chill in my heart. If there is nearly half a mountain of space in this array, then it is really difficult to go out. After looking at the drawing several times, it is just a simple thumbnail, and it is impossible to have any hints.
I can't see the result and have to turn it over, as the owner said, there are four paintings on the reverse side, and the upper and lower structures are distributed. The first painting in the upper left corner is a middle-aged man in a gray robe handing the square black brocade box in his hand to the young man in the blue robe kneeling on the ground, and behind the young man lay a man in white.
The second painting shows the blue-robed man turning his back and holding a golden pill in his hand, giving it to the white-clothed man, and beside him is the black brocade box that has been opened.
In the third painting, the white-robed man opened his eyes, and the blue-robed man looked happy, while the gray-robed middle-aged man standing behind them, but his face was blurred. I've noticed that not only this one, but the other three are always shrouded in shadows.
By the time of the fourth, both blue and white knelt before the gray-robed man and bowed to the end. It should be to express gratitude for saving lives.
Judging from these four paintings, it does express that the man in white was seriously ill or seriously injured, and the man in blue came here to ask for medicine for him, and finally the man in gray gave him the golden pill in the brocade box, and also saved the boy in white.
I asked the owner, "Is it impossible to see the face of this gray-robed man in the first place?" ”
He nodded, "That's it when I got it, and I never touched a single bit." ”
I nodded, and then looked at the four paintings carefully, in fact, in the final analysis, in addition to the painting has a pen on the person's clothing and hairstyle, the face is only one painted with the side face of the blue-robed man, as for the white-clothed boy is painted at the angle of the top of the head facing outward, the body is facing inward, so I can only vaguely see that it is a young man, and the two people in the back are all backs.
Judging from this painting work, it should be a master, and the lines drawn by each stroke are virtual and real, so the painting should be intentional. Boldly assume that the cave master is the owner of this painting, then the gray-robed man must be him. Because looking at a painting to discern its original meaning, not only from the surface of the painting, but also from the meaning of the painting to figure out the thoughts of the painter at that time.
This person must be cold and arrogant, so when painting, he will unconsciously incorporate this feeling**color. Except for the first one, the gray-robed man handed out the brocade box, and the other three were all backhanded, if it was matched, he must be indifferent and indifferent to look at the life and death scene in front of him, even if the two young juniors knelt at his feet, it seemed that he couldn't arouse the slightest emotional wave. This person cannot be arbitrarily evaluated as indifferent, but at least it can be seen that this person is very depressed.
Unable to see anything from his eyes, I shifted my attention from his outfit to the ground to the brocade box. only complained that Gu Xi was not there at this time, otherwise he would definitely be able to see what era of clothes this was, what kind of material the brocade box was, and even have deeper insights.
His gaze fell on the gray-robed man, and there seemed to be a sign hanging around his waist, although it was not outlined in emerald green, but its shape looked very similar to the one that had hung between the lamps before. From this point of view, the jade plaque is not only a real thing, but also a personal belongings of the owner of this cave.
It shouldn't be intentional, the ancients all had waist ornaments and the like, judging from the fact that he used this jade plate to achieve the purpose of strange goods, he should also know the value of this jade card. He had mentioned before that he had to gather the three jades to see the king's seal, is this jade plate one of the three jades? If so, what about the other two?
The hand subconsciously touched the jade whistle around his neck, and he also thought of the jade key on Cen Xi's wrist with red thread, and he couldn't see the real jade plate and couldn't compare it, I don't know if the texture is really the same.
After thinking about it, I felt that even if I couldn't be sure if the three jades that the cave master said were these three things, and what did Wang Yin refer to?
These delicate thoughts are coiled in my heart, but my eyes wander away from the painting. Suddenly, all my thoughts froze, and my eyes froze, staring at the bronze door behind the gray-robed man.
I think both I and the owner of the village have been swayed by a large environmental concept, thinking that the scene inside the bronze door is to show that this incident happened here, but I don't know that the bronze door itself is the focus of the painting.
In the past, I accidentally relied on the combination of eyesight and illusion to see the formation outside the door and it was cracked by Gu Xi, so I just ended there. After the bronze door was pushed open, all our attention was attracted by the mirror-like stone wall and the palace lamp on the top, and the voice of the cave master who suddenly fluttered out, and we didn't even look back at the back of the bronze door, even though I had climbed up the door at one point.
It turned out that the back of the bronze door was carved with the same lines as the front of the door.
And these lines ...... I closed my eyes, and when I opened them again, I looked into the lines, and the same lines began to jump out of the plane, and began to line up in the space, and as it became more and more formed, I became more and more amazed, and even my heart beat faster, until finally I was stiffly leaning against the stone wall.
I seemed to feel that someone was pushing me, and suddenly I turned my head and saw a familiar and handsome face, and I was surprised: "Gu Xi! But when I looked closely, the handsome face was peeling off layer by layer, revealing that the real face was an old and decadent face, which turned out to be the owner.
At this time, he was looking at me in surprise, and subconsciously raised his hand to wipe his forehead, and found that it was all sweat, so to speak, I was sweating at this time. The owner asked, "Little girl, what happened to you just now?" ”
I looked over in confusion and heard him say, "You were looking at the parchment with your head down, and suddenly you threw it on the ground, and then you danced and didn't know what you were doing." I've called you several times, but I haven't seen you come back properly. ”
Wei Zhen, this is the situation I often have after entering the gods, Gu Xi has seen it several times. was seen by the old man in front of him, and probably thought he was suddenly sick.
I awkwardly changed the subject: "It's okay, what about the parchment?" Show me again. ”
The owner asked me hesitantly, "Is it really okay?" But he was in front of his coat pocket, and he looked like he was afraid that I would "go mad" again and destroy his parchment. Apologetically, he spoke again: "I'm fine, I just remembered something and got distracted, you can show me the painting again, maybe I can find a way out." ”
When the owner heard this, he immediately took out the sheepskin scroll again, and asked eagerly, "Can you really find your way back?" ”
I frowned slightly, and nodded reluctantly. I didn't want to dwell on the issue of going out and going back with him anymore, so I took the parchment and looked at the bronze door carefully, this time my thinking was clearer than before, and I was able to control my emotions. After straining everything in his head, he put away the parchment roll, and wanted to return it to him, but after thinking about it, he asked, "You go with me, can you let me hold it for the time being?" Because sometimes it is necessary to compare routes. ”
The owner nodded and agreed without thinking about it: "If you can understand it, you can take it, I haven't seen it for thirty years." ”
In fact, I still have no bottom in my heart, even if I see that spatial loop diagram.
That's right, the pattern on the back of this bronze door is the circuit map of these sixty-four holes! I certainly wouldn't have been able to see it at first, but after walking alone for nearly two hours and switching between different rift spaces many times, some traces surfaced, such as the angle at which the rift appeared each time. The lines on the door do not mark the cave, but the diagonal and straight lines of the rift interface are marked. With my eyesight and sensitivity to the pattern, I was able to find where I stood with the owner of the house after a moment's steady.
But I still can't find the right way for the time being, because this invisible map is like the most complicated and chaotic maze game, and we are in the most inconspicuous point, even if we can see where the exit is, and we don't know how many curves we have to take to get there. However, I could see the point that separated me from Gu Xi and them at the beginning, and found that although it was close to the exit, there were many cracks in the branch road, and I couldn't find a way to the exit in a short time.
His mind is flowing, and I don't know if he and Qin Zhou have already gone out? Hurry up and read it, knowing that once I think of him, my emotions will get out of control, and with his skills and Qin Zhou by my side, it shouldn't be my turn to worry.
Before I officially set off with the owner, I thought of a way to let the owner find a rope to tie to my wrist and his, so that even if there is a time lag between entering the phantom layer one after another, it will not be cut off from space. Of course, the premise is that we can't be too far apart, otherwise no matter how long and strong the rope is, I'm afraid the final result will be broken.
