Chapter 82: Blood Map
Walking forward with the old prostitute, I found that at the other end of the spirit hall, that is, in the opposite direction where we entered, there was a stone door. The reason why I didn't see the stone gate here when I came in was because there were no lamp slaves here, and the light around me was dim.
"Xiao Qi, take out the parchment roll, this is the map of the mechanism." The old prostitute stood in front of the stone wall, the flashlight shining into a very inconspicuous corner, and then continued: "Well, this place is awesome enough."
I looked at the corner where the old prostitute's flashlight was shining, and it was really a flat map, but I didn't know if it was a mechanism map.
This map is carved on the stone on the ground, which seems to be the overall plan of the Sixth Ring Mountain, and the outline around the map is really the same as the parchment scroll that the old man gave me. It's just that this map is very complicated, maybe it's too small, it's not as big as the sheepskin roll in my hand, so it looks a bit laborious, if it's not for people with good eyes, it may not be able to see it accurately.
In fact, you can't blame the small map depiction, mainly because the corners of the map are too small, and there is such a large place, and it is impossible to make the map depict a large point. The corner of the map is in the depression of the stone wall of the spirit tablet, and the entire stone wall is less than half a meter wide depression, if you don't pay special attention to this location, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find here.
I don't know if the person who carved the map was afraid of being discovered, so he carved it in the corner.
I looked left and right twice, thinking it was unlikely to be for secrecy. This corner is not easy to find, but if you really use a little bit of attention here, you will find that there is a depression in the stone wall, and if you pay attention to this location, you will find this map, so I think that the map is not depicted here for the sake of secrecy, and it is likely that there are other reasons.
I asked the old prostitute who found out about this? He said it was San'er, and when he and Scar came in, San'er was squatting here looking at the map.
As soon as I squatted down to look at the map, the old prostitute shone the flashlight that was originally shining on the map upwards. As soon as his flashlight moved, my eyes followed the light of his flashlight, just one glance, which immediately startled me, and I quickly got up and instinctively took a step back.
As soon as I stepped back, the old prostitute immediately grabbed me, and then said, "My day, it's a statue, you're afraid of hair."
As soon as I heard the old prostitute say that it was a statue, I looked at the innermost part of the corner again, and it was really a stone statue. Just now, I just glanced at it, it looked like a human form, and I thought it was a black shadow from the stone wall, so I was so frightened that I hurriedly retreated.
However, this stone statue is so weird that people have a very uncomfortable feeling at a glance, and they inexplicably produce a sense of fear.
"How about this? Isn't it more scary than black and white impermanence?" The old prostitute took care of me carefully with a flashlight, and then said: "I told you about this statue, it is the statue I saw in the ancient city hall above, this one is no different except that it is smaller than that, it looks like and forms exactly the same."
I took a closer look at it along the flashlight, and it was indeed as the old prostitute said, this statue looks like a person but is not a person, like a ghost but not a ghost, but has a human-like appearance, but it has no soul, with a bare head and teeth and claws, a fierce appearance of killing demons and gods and gods.
Now that I saw it clearly, my pounding heart was able to calm down. After calming down, I felt that the impulsive fear just now was a little funny.
At this time, San'er walked over, still holding two brocade scrolls in his hands. These two brocade scrolls look strange, and I'm pretty sure they weren't brought down by San'er, but they should have been found here or on the way down.
When San'er approached, I immediately concluded that it was found here, because the brocade scroll was densely covered with symbols. Along the way, this symbol only appeared on the spirit card here, and other places passing by had never seen this kind of symbol.
"Where did you find it?" I asked San'er.
"In the coffin." After San'er finished speaking, he put the brocade roll in his pocket.
I glanced at the place where the female zongzi was divided just now, the body of the female zongzi was gone, and the coffin was also covered, presumably San'er sorted out the bones of the female zongzi and put it back in the coffin, only to find that there was a brocade scroll in the coffin.
"Can you find the map and draw it?" San'er looked at me and asked.
"It's not difficult to draw, it's similar to a normal modern map, it represents the route in the form of lines, and the outline of this map is the same as a parchment scroll, and the direction is easy to find." I continued: "It's just that you say that this is a map of the organs, and the mechanisms need to be marked, but I don't see any special lines from this map, all the lines are the same size and thickness, how can you tell which line has a mechanism and which line does not have a mechanism."
San'er glanced at me and said, "It's good if you can draw it, but you have to move quickly."
After saying that, San'er took a step forward, and then came to the ground on one knee, and knelt in front of me.
This Nima really confused me, and I didn't understand what he meant. And the heart said, "Didn't you just ask me to draw a map on a parchment roll?" Why did you still kneel for me, could it be that this is still a big deal? Don't be so gifted.
When I was confused by the scene of San'er kneeling, San'er moved the two fingers of one hand and directly clamped a dart in the cuff, and then quickly held the dart in the palm of his hand, and then clenched his fist hard, and the blood flowed down the dart.
Seeing San'er holding the sharp blade of the dart in his hand, I didn't understand it even more. Not only me, but even the old prostitute standing on the side was at a loss, and she didn't understand what San'er's self-harm was for?
It wasn't until San'er put his bleeding hand on the statue's feet that I understood his intentions.
The statue in the corner is standing, with one foot right on the edge of the map, and that foot has a finger-sized hole in the surface of the foot. San'er stretched out his bleeding hand to let his blood flow into the hole on the surface of his foot.
As San'er's blood continued to flow into that hole, the map also changed.
I don't know how, but blood began to appear in the lines of the map, and this blood spread along the lines of the map.
I watched San'er's blood spread through the map, but I never understood how the blood flowed out of the statue's feet. I went to the ground and looked closely at the statue's feet, and found that the blood did not come from there, and the strangest thing was that there was not a drop of blood under the statue's feet.
It seems like the blood is more like it comes out of the lines in the map, I don't know what kind of technique it is, but it looks like it's not simple. I have to say that the wisdom of the ancients is sometimes more powerful than we think.
As more and more blood flowed, there were many lines in the map that never flowed into the blood, and San'er reminded me that there was no need to mark the routes without blood, and those were not maps, they were false routes. And the route that keeps the blood flowing is the safe route without the mechanism, and the route that has blood but does not flow is the organ route.
In order to allow me to see more accurately, San'er asked me not to mark it first, and then mark it when the blood flowed all over, so as not to mark the wrong route. In this way, it is convenient for me to watch, but San'er is miserable, he has to keep bleeding to keep the blood flowing.
I really couldn't figure out the imaging technology of this kind of map, and suddenly I felt that the ancients were very stupid, why did they design such a map, couldn't they design a map that could be used by blood circulation? How much blood does it take to keep flowing like this?
I couldn't help but ask San'er: "Does this have to use the blood of the Murong family?"
"No, anyone's can do it, as long as it's warm blood, it will work."
After listening to San'er's answer, I immediately thought of the virtual shield space of the submarine tomb, and that time it also needed warm blood to crack, but in the end, Tianxiang and I didn't use blood to crack it, but to crack it with urine, and urine also has temperature, I don't know if this is good to use urine?
I wanted to tell San'er, but after thinking about it, I forgot it. After all, this is a map, not a virtual shield space, even if the urine is easy to use, it may not be able to be seen clearly, unless it is the kind of special yellow that is on fire, otherwise it is not as clear as blood. Besides, I'm the one who wants to draw the map, and I don't want to draw the map while smelling urine.
Soon San'er's blood flowed throughout the map, and the last route that flowed was the outline of the entire map, and the blood flowed around the outer circle of the entire map to a junction, but it did not stop flowing. Because at this junction, there is also a point of excretion osmosis, from which the flowing blood begins to penetrate under the stone.
When I didn't see this excretion point, I kept thinking, when San'er's blood flowed to the whole map, would the blood still flow? Unexpectedly, there was also a design of excretion points. With this excretion point, the blood can flow normally in the map and will not stop because the blood flow is full.
"It's okay, let's draw." San'er glanced at me and said.
As soon as San'er had finished speaking, I began to trace the map I had seen on the parchment.
The whole process of mapping the map was not as easy as I thought it would be. First, San'er's hands are still flowing with blood, which has caused a lot of pressure on me, and I really want to finish it quickly, but the more I think about it, the more difficult it is to calm down. The second is that there are many routes in the map, not only to depict safe routes, but also to mark the routes of organs, in short, in addition to those false routes, I have to depict the locations where there is bloodflow.
Some of the routes we have walked have been familiar with just by looking at them, but there are some routes that we have not walked and not only feel unfamiliar, but also some that we cannot understand.
As soon as I had mapped the whole map, I noticed a very special point in the map that immediately caught my eye.
