Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Monster in the Ear Chamber
I'm sure I'm not claustrophobic with my own expertise, but I still feel a shudder when I'm sure the hole I climbed up has disappeared without a trace.
Without any warning, I'm trapped in this chamber?
All of a sudden, all the negative emotions about claustrophobia came to my mind: there were walls on all sides and there was no way out, I was alone in the cold night, without food, without water, so hungry that I couldn't get out of my chest and back, until I was finally trapped here alive, and then turned into a skeleton......
I didn't dare to move around anymore, collected all the clay pot fragments around me, squatted down and typed a rough draft of the action in my mind, I bit the flashlight into my mouth, picked out seven or eight relatively large and recognizable fragments of the clay pot and put them aside, and then gathered all the remaining fragments into a pile, and spent more than ten minutes crushing all the fragments of these clay pots with a few larger fragments, and waited until the remaining clay pot fragments were all the size of soybeans. The first step is complete.
Then I took off my coat and collected all the pieces of the crockpot the size of a soybean grain into my coat, and the remaining seven or eight pieces of the larger clay pot were in my pocket, took a deep breath, and walked forward.
I peeked out a crack in the simple bag of my coat, and as I went, I let these bean-sized pieces flow out of the crack, so that with this mark following me, no matter where I went, I would never get lost again as I did last time, and I could find it back by following the route of the clay pot pieces.
After walking for about four or five minutes, I finally saw the shadowy wall in the faint light of the flashlight, and this discovery shocked my spirit, and I immediately put away the simple package made of the coat in my hand, took out a larger clay pot fragment from my pocket and left it here, and carved a "1" on the ground.
Putting down the package, I moved the submachine gun behind my back to the front of me, exited the magazine and checked it, there were too many bullets from the attack on the corpse group in the graveyard, and I didn't have much in reserve, and now there were only a dozen rounds left, and there were no spare magazines.
With a bang, I pushed the magazine on, opened the safety and reloaded, and slowly walked towards the wall, but there was no danger here, so I breathed a sigh of relief, there were rows of light yellow clay pots stacked under the wall, but it was too long, these clay pots have all been fused together, that is, I can vaguely see the shape of the clay pot, but when I squatted down and tried to pinch out one to see, the clay pot shattered into powder with a bang, and the dust that suddenly stirred up choked me. Hurriedly reached out to cover his mouth and nose and took a few steps back.
Uncle, it seems that I really shouldn't mess with things in this strange environment.
Although I covered my mouth and nose as soon as I reacted, there was still a little flying dust that flew into my eyes, making my tears flow out instantly, but this incident also taught me a lesson, after all, I am not a professional inverted Tufu, I don't know what safety and danger are in this ancient tomb, this random collision fortunately did not cause such serious consequences, if I touch any vicious organs again, I don't even have a place to cry.
When the dust cleared, I waved my hand to speed up the air circulation in front of me, and when the dust was almost gone, I walked over and crouched down to carefully inspect the place where the clay pot had collapsed, there was an extra recessed space, and it was empty, except that the remaining half of the clay pot was pale black inside, which was completely different from the pale yellow outside.
Hong Jinglong wasn't with me, and I didn't have anyone to ask, so I couldn't tell if this pale black was a normal phenomenon that had accumulated over time, or if something special had happened.
After looking at this half-pulled clay pot for too long, my legs were a little numb from squatting, so I had to stand up and move my knees first, but the moment I stood up, the faint light from the flashlight in my mouth was reflected on the wall, and from my angle, I could see the murals on the wall through the faint light source!
I was a little surprised in my heart, why couldn't I see this mural just now when I walked over, but now I can see it, could it be that this is the same as that pothole, mysteriously suddenly emerged?
I took off the flashlight and looked closely at the mural, only to find that there was indeed a mural on the wall, but because it was too long, there was no paint left on it, leaving only the simplest outline of the knife and axe, so when I walked over, if I didn't pay attention, I wouldn't see it at all, but if I got close to it and stood up to look at it, I could still catch the clues.
With this in mind, I was no longer as nervous as I had been, and after taking a flashlight and looking around to make sure there was no danger, I focused all my energy on the mural in front of me.
There is no color on these frescoes, that is to say, there is no three-dimensional layering, I look very awkward, frowning and struggling to find the source of these frescoes - it is four or five steps to the right of the position where I stand, and it describes a picture in a simple and realistic way: on a vast plain, full of dead people, and above the plain there is a crescent-shaped thing, which should indicate that it is night, and in the center of this fresco is a small man sitting on a throne, The throne is much more vivid than the villain's depiction, the villain just outlines a human figure with simple lines, but the throne is a detailed throne carved out of extremely bold and rough lines, the villain stands on the throne, holding a simple sketched spear in one hand and pointing ahead, between him and the dead everywhere, there are thousands of troops and horses described with simple lines, and the swords, guns and flags in his hands are pointing in the same direction as the villain on the throne.
This mural should describe the scene on the eve of the war, everyone is ready to go, and the villain on the throne should be the first general of the five dynasties and ten countries, Li Xiaocun, he does not have many soldiers and horses, but they are all elite generals, five dynasties and ten kingdoms are one of the most chaotic and darkest dynasties in the history of the Chinese nation, "white bones are exposed in the wild, thousands of miles without rooster crow" is the most realistic portrayal, because of the perennial war and ten rooms and nine empty, the people are not living, Li Xiaocun is in this situation to raise troops, to the gun and food situation, However, in a short period of time, it became a group of capable soldiers.
The second mural is next to the first, it seems that the time interval is not long, it depicts Li Xiaocun leading the troops to kill in the front, followed by the wolf-like guards, lying at their feet is a large area of the enemy's corpse, there are broken soldiers and killed horses around, Li Xiaocun stands on a corpse, raising the spear in his hand high to the sky, the content described on this mural is simple, nothing more than a victory after a victory.
I understand these two murals, and then I shifted my gaze to the third mural, this mural style is completely different from the previous two styles, the lines are a little messy, for a while I can't find the beginning of the line, the content of this mural is very complex, if there is a pigment is still there, this mural has a shadow and a three-dimensional sense of layers, maybe I can see the clues of this mural, but in the past so many years, the pigment has long evaporated or fallen, I can only half-look and half-guess to interpret this mural,
It seems that Li Xiaocun came to a hidden valley with a small number of personal soldiers, and there seems to be an extremely important secret and treasure hidden in the valley, but this line is too messy, I can't decipher what treasure is hidden in the valley, the mural shows that Li Xiaocun took people into the valley, but he just stepped into the valley with his front feet, and the back half of his body has not yet entered, and the other half of his body is exposed on the other side of the valley, what does this mean by his uncle? Could it be that this Li Xiaocun has practiced the art of crossing mountains?
I really couldn't understand it, so I shifted my gaze to the fourth mural, this mural is easier to understand, showing what happened after Li Xiaocun came out of the valley, but at this time Li Xiaocun's appearance has changed greatly, and the lines used are a few points thicker than the previous three murals, Li Xiaocun on the mural directly broke into the enemy formation of the crowd of people, and the spear in his hand has pierced the chest of a person in front of him, and there are many people around Li Xiaocun who attacked, but these people's attacks were ineffective- The soldiers held by the surrounding enemy soldiers depicted on the mural were broken from the middle, and a large number of arrows fell on Li Xiaocun's side, and the war horse under Li Xiaocun's crotch was already full of holes and crumbling, but Li Xiaocun's body was intact and there was no scar.
There are only these four murals on this wall, after reading it, I sat down cross-legged under this mural, according to the content described in the mural, this Li Xiaoxing entered the valley before, was an ordinary army general, there were a lot of soldiers gathered under his command, but at that time it did not reach the point of invincibility, but since he entered the valley and came out, it was directly as if he had been reborn, and he simply became an invincible god of war, single-handedly killing into the enemy formation, The enemy had nothing to do with him.
The most critical turning point took place in that valley.
What's in that valley? Can Li Xiaocun change so much?
And the third mural, half of Li Xiaocun's body has just stepped into the valley, and the other half has come out of the valley, what does this represent?
I racked my brains to think about the connection between these four murals, but I couldn't think of the reason, could this Li Xiaocun's dry body have anything to do with this valley?
Just as I was thinking about this, I suddenly heard a soft snap, and after the flashlight struggled twice, I died and there was no light source again, and I fell into a thick darkness in an instant.
The sudden turn of events startled me, but before I could react, I heard a long, faint breath behind me.
