Chapter 20 Scenes of Murals

He didn't speak, but gestured to the wall behind him.

I picked up the bald man's flashlight from the ground and shone it at the stone wall behind Mo Ranchen.

Only then did he find that there was a slender gap between the stone wall behind him and the top of the passage, about half a meter deep, just enough to accommodate a person lying flat, and it was extremely difficult to find without looking carefully.

"How can there be such a design?" I asked, puzzled.

"This is the hidden slot where the weapon is hidden, if you guessed correctly, this hidden slot used to be seen only when you opened the mechanism, but the mechanism was destroyed."

While explaining to me, Mo Ranchen dragged the bald man to the fire, and asked Liu Yang to tie the servants tightly with the rope that tied the tent, and then threw them on the edge of the wall.

Only then did I notice that the tunnel we were in was not only exquisite, but also the frescoes that crisscrossed us were very delicate, not like they were painted on the wall, but as if they were drawn from paper. The street scenes and characters above are brought to life, as if they were a retro blockbuster unfolding before our eyes.

I raised my hand and touched the marks on it, and I was a little surprised. The traces of these portrayals are not felt at all. When I looked closer, I found that these traces were watered with something similar to pine resin, and they were carefully filled.

Looking at it, I suddenly saw something that made me incredible. There are several strange contents in the painting, one of which depicts a dozen people gathered together, which at first glance is quite harmonious, and people in fancy clothes are bringing soup to the people. But when I looked into the soup pot again, I found that there was a skull inside, half of which had been submerged in the soup, and the other half had surfaced on the soup noodles.

The vividness of the picture made me feel as if I was in that strange scene, a large pot of human bones cooking, hot bone broth, like the highest delicacy in the world, tempting everyone present. The soup boiler put on the face of a good man and smiled to bring this delicacy to the poor people. However, people don't realize that the bone broth in their mouths is the flesh and bone of their companions, and it is the invisible criminal law of the devil.

Another picture is even more strange and weird, a few porters carrying an official sedan chair, is walking towards a majestic mountain, but this mountain is unusual, two eyes are strangely hanging on the mountainside, as if a demon lurking in it, waiting for this official sedan chair to throw itself into the net.

The picture continues to extend to the fire, and there is a prosperous scene, where families live and work in peace and contentment.

But not long after the fire, the picture enters the weirdness again. Obviously, the color of this wall is much darker, and the whole atmosphere is reddish. In the middle of a large courtyard, there were densely packed people, all of whom were hunched up and didn't know what they were doing. The surrounding houses were all in a dilapidated state, and the people in the streets were grim-looking and miserable.

"Why? Little brother, what about this archaeology? Do you understand the mural? Just watch it for a long time. ”

Liu Yang's voice interrupted my thoughts. I gave him a blank look, bragged and said, "You are the only one who can't understand, how deep my sister is, this little comic book is very simple." ”

"Yo, it's simple?" Kong Xian was amused by me, and said jokingly: "My family's Mu You's brain is getting better and better, or you can explain it to us." ”

I glared at him and just shut up. But I found that just when Kong Xian called my name, the long-haired man who was tied up suddenly changed his face. That's what happened, and I'm even more sure that I know this person, and he knows me!

The cow was blown by me just now, and now it's a little embarrassing, plus I didn't help me in the whole process, and it added to the chaos, so I was a little embarrassed, so I went to the underground river to help them string bottles of water.

The kettle we brought with us has a filtration function, no matter how dirty the water is, it can be filtered clean, not to mention that the water in the underground river is cleaner than the tap water we usually use at home, so it is no problem to drink it.

I took the bald man's flashlight and walked in the direction where the sound of water was coming from. The distance is not very far, and after about five minutes of walking, the sound of water becomes deafening.

The light of the flashlight in his hand can shine very far away, and it seems that the quality is quite good, and it can cost thousands. From where I'm standing now, I can clearly see that there is a fault in the ground not far away, which should be the location of the underground river.

When I reached the edge of the fault, I understood why Kong Xian said that it was possible to come in but not to go out. It was the impact of the waterfall, and the water was so strong that it could be said that even if a truck fell into it, it would be washed away into the distance in the distance.

I looked at it and said, this place is very steep, and if you accidentally fall into the water, it's not a joke, and the devil knows where it will go. I cautiously squatted down to find a place where I could go down to the water's edge, since Kong Xian and they could come up, there must be a gentle or stable place to stay.

Not to mention, I stretched out my head and took a few more looks, and a small steep slope with a slight step appeared in my eyes.

Just as I stretched out my feet and prepared to go down, the water suddenly brought in a cool breeze, which made me shiver, and I must have started to change the sky outside.

"Boom!"

A deafening thunderclap sounded in my ears, and I was so unprepared that I almost fell to my feet. I finally stabilized myself, but I found that the flashlight in my hand inadvertently shook something.

The top of this underground river is very empty, unlike the low and narrow passage we are in. It was empty, but it wasn't empty, and near the top there were some broken pieces of wood stuck into the stone walls on either side like beams. There are some climbing plants hanging from the wood, and the leaves are very small and a bit ...... Familiar.

I tried to remember where I had seen this plant, and the light from the flashlight was so diffuse that I couldn't tell its color.

"Huh?"

I couldn't help but ask a question and rubbed my eyes, what happened just now? Is it my hallucination or are there bugs on those vines? I suddenly felt it move.

Raise the flashlight and take a closer look,! I was shocked, something was really moving! There were quite a few of them, and in an instant, the vines above the entire underground river began to shake violently.

It couldn't be that the light of the flashlight in my hand woke something on those vines? Don't bite people, or I'll poke this basket bigger.

I didn't care about any fetching water, so I hurriedly rushed back to Kong Xian and them at a speed of 100 meters, gasping and saying, "Whew...... Fast...... Hurry up, hurry up, my flashlight seems to provoke something. ”

"What?" Mo Zhanchen asked puzzled.

The bald three people were talking to Mo Ranchen about something, and when they saw me running over in a panic, they were all surprised, and the long-haired one was startled by me, and his face turned white, if he hadn't been tied up with a rope, he would probably have to have a race with me.

I turned around and shone my flashlight in the direction of the underground river, and found that nothing had caught up, so I calmed down and told them exactly what I had seen.

"Master Wolf......" After listening to what I said, the bald man's expression was very solemn, and he turned his head to look at the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man called the wolf master was silent for a moment, frowned and asked me, "Have you ever touched those vines?" ”

I shook my head, "It's hanging too high, I didn't touch it." How? With the look on your face, should we really leave sooner? ”

The long-haired man complained to me with a pale face: "We are going to be killed by you, you hurry up and untie the rope for us, if we don't run, we will all die here." ”

Hearing him say this, my curiosity exploded, I wondered if those things would be aggressive, but I didn't expect it to be so serious, making the three outlaws look so ugly.

I turned my head to look at Mo Zhanchen, he had been looking in the direction of the underground river, his expression was very calm, but he should have raised his guard.

"What are those things?" I asked Master Wolf.

The wolf master sighed, "Is there any smoke?" ”

I looked at Liu Yang and waited for him to pull out the cigarette from his pocket. But he didn't expect him to have an expression that he hadn't heard anything, and his eyes didn't look this way, obviously reluctant.

I cursed in my heart, and then lifted the bag in Kong Xian's hand, and took out a pack of Yellow Crane Towers for a long time, took out one and lit it on fire and stuffed it into the wolf master's mouth.

Turning my head and looking at Kong Xian's expression again, I was almost so frightened that I snatched back the cigarette from the wolf master's mouth. He gritted his teeth with a cold face and said, "It's good to hide, when are you going to take it out?" ”

I smiled awkwardly, speaking of which, this cigarette really wasn't bought by me, it was secretly stuffed to me by Liu Yang, I was going to return it to him, but after thinking about it, I still didn't give it up.

At this time, I was arrested, and I had no choice but to make up nonsense with a cheap face: "Oh, this cigarette is not mine at all, I have never touched this thing since I signed a treaty with Jin Ye." I'm not...... Last time, I saw Liu Yang stuffed it into his bag, so I knew where it was. Don't look at me like this, a good citizen like me has a fragile heart. ”

Kong Xian also stopped talking, leaving me with a look of settling accounts after the autumn.

When I looked at the wolf again, he seemed to be a little disgusted with this cigarette, probably because he thought my cigarette was too cheap. No way, it would be nice to have one for him, I don't even have to smoke it myself.

Seeing that he took two deep breaths, I took the cigarette out of his mouth and waited for him to answer my question.

"Little calf, you'd better hope you're okay, otherwise when we shoot, we won't talk about killing people and whether they can live for another twenty years." The smoke in the wolf's mouth filled the space we were in, and I couldn't read his expression clearly, but the tone of his voice made me feel as if I was the one who was tied up like a dumpling.

"I'll tell you, those vines you see aren't ordinary plants, I don't know if they have any scientific names, but we all call them killer vines. It is a parasitic carnivorous plant that does not live for more than four hours if you touch it. ”

When the wolf said this, I suddenly understood why I felt that this plant was familiar, it was somewhat similar to the parasitic vine on the green corpse I saw outside, it might be the same species, but due to the distance, I couldn't be sure.

"The plant is so viable that its seeds can even be spread by touching it, but it is not visible on the ground because of its fear of the sun. Hmph, you'd better be blessed. ”

I heard what the wolf master said so terrible, I always felt as if he was lying to me. So I turned my head and asked Mo Ranchen: "Does this thing he said have anything to do with the green corpse we met outside?" ”

Mo Ranchen nodded, "He should be talking about the same thing." ”

As soon as I finished speaking, I saw that the bald man, the wolf master, and the long-haired man's faces all became very frightened, and they all stepped back, trying to stay away from me.

I was very upset when I saw that they were treating me like a plague, so I deliberately moved towards them, and then raised my leg and kicked the bald man, and asked, "What are you guys doing?" ”

Oh my God, this scared the bald man, and he almost jumped up with the rope tied. I was amused in my heart, but I glared at him on the surface, and shouted: "You dare to move and try it, hurry up and give me an honest explanation, otherwise we will sleep with you in our arms today!" ”

The bald man was obviously afraid to die, but he was not convinced, snorted, tilted his head aside, and ignored me.

"Hey!" I was upset and gave him another kick, "What? Now the person who is tied up like a dumpling is me, not you, right? You are a fart, believe it or not, I directly scooped a few bowls of water from the underground river and boiled you to commemorate our old-timer Qu Yuan. ”

"Phew!" The bald man spat at me and Xingzi scolded: "You fucking little calf should be a person, you go to the road to inquire about me Ding Wuye, when Lao Tzu killed someone, you were still a worm in your mother's stomach!" ”
