Chapter 468: Overlapping Illusions
Boss Jiang lowered his head and sorted out a few bamboo tubes on his waist, I couldn't see her expression clearly, I could only hear her voice: "Where have I ever been to this place, I heard from the old divisions of Miaojiang." ”
I asked, "Has anyone come in before?" ”
Boss Jiang raised his head and smiled at me: "If no one has ever come in, how will future generations know about the existence of Uchiyama?" ”
I nodded, "Yes." The person who entered the inner mountain in the early years must be an extremely powerful master, he can not only reach the deepest part of the inner mountain, but also get out alive. ”
Boss Jiang pursed her lips and didn't say anything, but I always felt that the expression on her face seemed to have become a little strange, but I couldn't tell what was strange for a while.
Faced with more than a thousand holes on the surface of the stone wall, Li Huaishan seemed to have lost his usual self-confidence, and the team stayed in place for a long time, Li Huaishan still continued to use a flashlight to search the holes on the opposite side, and did not make a decision for a long time.
The dull huge darkness made people feel a little uneasy, and then Boss Wen and Dan Tuo also raised their flashlights and shone light at the hole in the stone wall, which seemed to be lighting Li Huaishan on the surface, but in fact, they just wanted to dispel the darkness as much as possible.
Since I got the inheritance of Xinyantong, sometimes, I can also see through other people's thoughts through some subtle small actions, but my Xinyantong has not yet been cultivated, and if I meet someone who is particularly good at acting, I can't perceive their heart.
Several beams of light swept back and forth across the stone walls, and my gaze followed them, wandering between the messy openings.
Once, Li Huaishan hit the light on a hole near the left end of the stone wall, and my eyes moved to it, and I vaguely saw a touch of scarlet on the edge of the hole.
Li Huaishan quickly moved the beam of light to another place, I wanted to pick up the flashlight and take a closer look at what the red was, but this thought just appeared in my mind, and the light near the entrance of the cave became clear in the dark.
I don't know how to describe the feeling at that time, obviously there was no light, but around the entrance of the cave, there was a whitish gray, which should be the original color of the stone wall, and it was particularly clear against the background of the surrounding black shadows.
The scene in front of me was like what I had imagined in my head, but it was so real.
I fixed my gaze and looked closely at the stone face around the cave entrance, and I saw a red mass slowly emerging from the stone face.
At first it was a shapeless mass of color, like a puddle of blood in the stone, but as time passed, it became clearer and clearer, and it hatched out of the stone little by little, first forming an oval bulge, then slowly appearing eyes, nostrils, and finally a skinless face, and the two gums protruding in the air were fully open, as if screaming.
At the same time, there was a fleeting cry in my ears, like a cry, like the wailing of a ghost in the middle of the night.
I rubbed my eyes and ears, picked up my flashlight, and hit the beam through.
In the miserable white beam, a large number of shadows appeared in the potholes on the stone wall, and the stone faces around the cave entrance were also reflected in the color of white paper.
But that face was still there, and under this white illuminated by the beam, there was still a gray that did not belong to this direct.
The light in the flashlight didn't seem to hit people's faces, and it didn't make the original color of the stone wall completely disappear.
It is said that in this environment with no natural light, most of the things illuminated by the flashlight are only black and white, but the skinless human face and the red and gray colors presented on the stone wall are extremely clear.
Boss Jiang probably noticed that something was wrong with me, so he asked me on the side: "If not, what's wrong with you?" ”
I frowned and asked Boss Jiang, "Can you see the things on the stone wall?" ”
Boss Jiang: "You can see it, isn't it just a mess of stone caves?" ”
I'm not talking about the stone cave, but the face, obviously, Boss Jiang can't see it.
As I spoke to Boss Jiang, the screams in my ears continued for a while, and then dissipated into the endless darkness, along with the face that appeared at the edge of the cave entrance, and the gray on the stone wall, also disappeared at the same time, as if they had never appeared.
I knew very well in my heart that what appeared in front of me just now was definitely not an illusion!
Li Huaishan finally made a decision, he walked to a hole, stretched his neck to look inside, then turned his head, waved at everyone, and plunged in.
And the hole that Li Huaishan chose happened to be the one that had just appeared out of phase.
When Wu Lin entered the cave, he turned his head to look at me, and the afterglow of the flashlight reflected on his face, and I vaguely saw him frowning twice.
When I hit the flashlight on the edge of the cave just now, Wu Lin should have noticed something, and at this time, he made such a move, as if he also wanted to tell me that he also saw the face that appeared next to the cave entrance.
The same situation can only be seen by me and Wu Lin.
But he didn't say much, just glanced at me, and then quickly followed Li Huaishan's pace.
When Boss Jiang and I followed the team into the hole, we found that the tunnel connected to the hole was not as easy to walk as we imagined.
The whole tunnel is more than two meters high, and the width is uncertain, the width can reach three meters in the wide place, but the narrow place is very narrow, and you have to squeeze through it sideways, and the front and back stone walls are pressed against the chest and back.
In addition, there are many sharp stalactites hanging from the top of the tunnel, and there are also many karst caves on the walls of the caves on both sides, and the edges of the karst caves have been corroded by thousands of years of moisture, and when the light hits them, a greasy luster that makes people uneasy.
I deliberately looked into several caves, and found that some of them were connected to extremely deep passages, and the flashlight could not penetrate the darkness there, and I did not know where these passages would lead.
After squeezing through the narrowest section of the tunnel, Li Huaishan suddenly stopped, and carefully lit the cave beside him, and did not move for a long time.
Wu Lin asked him, "Why did you stop?" ”
Li Huaishan's tone was a little uncertain: "There seems to be something in this cave." ”
Wu Lin: "Leave it alone, we have to hurry up and try to enter the compartment within two days." ”
Li Huaishan slapped the flashlight on Wu Lin's face: "Two days? With this road condition, in just two days, no matter how much you rush, you can't get out of the Ecstasy Cave. ”
Wu Lin raised his hand, blocking the strong light that pierced his eyes, and said coldly: "Don't be verbose, try to go as fast as possible." ”
Although Li Huaishan didn't have a good impression of Wu Lin, he also knew the priorities, didn't ramble anymore, and continued to take everyone on the road.
When I first heard Li Huaishan say that there was something in the cave, to be honest, I didn't particularly care, after all, there was no evil spirit in this place, and the smell was quite normal, so it was estimated that there should be no evil spirits or wild Gu.
But I didn't have to go far when there was a faint sound in the cave beside me, as if something was tiptoeing along the passage in the cave.
I was shocked, and immediately stopped, and threw the beam into the cave.
A pale beam of light pierced the darkness, and a slender figure appeared at the junction of light and shadow.
I didn't dare to slack off, so I quickly condensed my mental power, grabbed the Netherworld Treasure in my pocket with one hand, and adjusted the direction of the flashlight with the other hand, and hit the beam straight at the shadow.
In terms of appearance, the things in front of him do look like people, but the body is much smaller than ordinary people, and the facial features are also different.
Its eyes were small, pressed under its brow bones like black beans, it had no nose or lips, only two long, narrow nostrils close together and a row of fangs exposed in the air, and the ears were large, and the rim of the ears was shaped like duck's paws, clinging tightly to the back of the head.
At first glance, I was frightened, but when I looked closely, I found that it did not look like a living thing, because on it, I could not feel a single bit of anger, and when the light shone on it, the luster reflected was similar to that of polished marble.
This is supposed to be just a stone statue standing deep in the cave entrance.
Then I tried to move the beam again, and the thing didn't react, just crouched there motionless.
My actions also attracted the attention of Boss Jiang, who took a step towards me, also looked carefully at the stone statue in the cave, smacked her lips, and said, "It's like it's alive." ”
As soon as Boss Jiang opened his mouth here, the thing in the cave suddenly moved, and my first reaction was to quickly take out the Netherworld Treasure defense, but it quickly turned around and drilled into the depths of the cave.
Seeing that it was about to go away, I shook my wrist and threw the gossip money into the hole, originally wanting to pull it out, but I didn't expect this guy to be too fast, and before my wrist shook out the second time, it completely disappeared into the thick darkness.
The gossip money spun in a small circle in mid-air, and then fell down with a "clanging" sound.
Wu Lin heard the movement behind him, so he turned his head and asked me and Boss Jiang: "Is there a situation?" ”
I took the candlestick and looked into the cave again before responding, "There's something that looks like a human being, and it seems to be following us." ”
Wu Lin frowned: "That thing looks, doesn't it look a bit like a stone carving?" ”
I nodded quickly, and Wu Lin's brows furrowed even tighter: "That thing is a white ghost, I've seen it in other places, but the white ghost here seems to be different from other places......"
Wu Lin said these words slowly almost while pondering, and after speaking, he instructed the people present: "Be careful, your eyes are bright, if you find that there are white ghosts in the cave, don't be soft, kill if you should kill." ”
