Chapter 474: Yingshui Mountain
I pouted: "You really think of yourself as an outlier?" β
Wu Lin took a puff of his cigar and let the smoke slowly come out of his mouth, but he didn't say anything more.
Since he was no longer in the mood to speak, I didn't speak again, holding the back of my head with my hands in my hands, and lying on the ground with my eyes closed.
A long time of high concentration made Li Huaishan's spirit completely overdrawn, this night he slept for more than 30 hours, and when he got up, he shouted that he was hungry, Jin Xiangqian helped him prepare hot food early in the morning, and he just opened his mouth, and handed over the hot rice bowl baked with an alcohol stove.
Because he had been on an empty stomach for too long, Jin Xiangqian didn't dare to let Li Huaishan eat too much for the first meal.
I was not in a hurry to start immediately, after Li Huaishan woke up, I let everyone rest for a while, until Li Huaishan ate three meals and his body finally warmed up, and Wu Lin and I beckoned everyone to continue walking.
Wu Lin said that there is only one way to go down the mountain, no matter how you go, you can reach the peak, and you don't need Li Huaishan to help us guide us through the direction without sleeping, Li Huaishan is also happy and relaxed, so he retreated to the middle of the team, and replaced me and Wu Lin to take the lead, Boss Jiang and Jin Qianqian to the back of the palace.
There is a uniform light mist all around, no matter which direction the eyes look in, the scene will not change in the slightest, in this place, I can't discern the direction at all, but Wu Lin seems to be confident, and has been rushing forward.
Halfway through, I asked Wu Lin, "How do you know which direction to go?" β
Wu Lin was stunned for a moment, and then gave me a clueless answer: "I can't tell the direction either, so I can only rely on my feelings." β
I said, "Why don't you let Ergou come and lead the way." β
Wu Lin waved his hand: "No, his sense of direction can only work in the real world, and in this place, he can't play it." β
After this brief conversation, Wu Lin and I didn't speak again, he still kept walking, without the slightest intention of stopping, and in his eyes, I could vaguely feel a strange excitement.
I found that I was getting more and more unable to see through him.
After five hours of walking in the vast mist of light, that familiar voice came back to my head.
The sound of the water crashing from ...... high altitude against the metal plate was thick and strong, and even in a dream, the sound was not so clear as it is now.
Wu Lin could also hear the same voice, he turned sideways to look at the person behind him, and then lowered his voice and said to me, "This time the voice is not quite right.
I nodded, "It's too clear." β
Wu Lin frowned and didn't speak again.
He must have noticed that while the two of us were talking, the sound of the water seemed to be frightened, as if trying to hide itself, and suddenly became very faint, but under the invisible iron plate, it seemed that something was struggling, and it hit the iron plate again and again, making a dull loud noise.
This sound seemed to appear right behind me and Wu Lin, which made people feel uneasy.
The intense uneasiness had been pressing on my heart for several hours, until I walked out of the light mist, Wu Lin turned on the flashlight, and flashed the light forward, the voice finally disappeared, and the strange uneasiness disappeared.
"This is the fallen mountain." Wu Lin said this briefly beside me, and the end of the last word "δΊ" was stretched by him very long, as if he had taken a long breath of air.
I also turned on my flashlight and shone it around.
Directly in front of us is an incomparably wide stone wall, and in the darkness, it is impossible to estimate its width, but the height of the wall can only be roughly measured by visual about ten meters, and above our heads, wherever it is illuminated by light, we can only see the irregular distribution of potholes in the stone wall.
My guess is that this is a rather large burial chamber, surrounded by a four-sided blue brick wall, and the zenith of the burial chamber is a natural rock formation.
Wu Lin raised his hand and patted me on the shoulder: "Let's go." β
I picked up my flashlight and picked up my pace with him a little.
At first, I did think that we were now in a large burial chamber, but as I went deeper and deeper, I realized that I was wrong.
When I got close to the stone wall, I realized that the surface of the stone wall was not horizontal, it had a very small arc, and it was difficult to detect it without looking closely, and no matter how far I followed the wall, the curvature above did not change in any way.
Inside this wall, an unusually wide stone pillar is supposed to be wrapped, and the wall itself is also circular.
Once Wu Lin took everyone away from the wall, walked towards the empty darkness for a while, and led everyone to the boundary of the large space, there, I saw a cliff, and under the cliff, there was a bottomless abyss, the howling wind blew up along the bottom of the abyss, and the huge wind force almost made it difficult to breathe.
Wu Lin gathered on the edge of the cliff and shot downward, and then led everyone towards the stone wall.
On the way, Wu Lin seemed to suddenly remember something, and took the initiative to say to me: "This fallen mountain should not exist in the first place. β
I casually asked, "Why is this place called Inverted Mountain?" β
Wu Lin raised his flashlight and shone on the rock formation above our heads: "This large rock layer is the foundation of the fallen mountain. β
I looked up and looked into the light, and I could still only see large potholes, deep and shallow.
Wu Lin continued: "There was a rumor that Yingshui Mountain was the reflection of the outer three layers of Savage Mountain, here, except for everything that was upside down, the rest of the details were no different from the above-ground part of Savage Mountain, but after arriving here, I found out that these were all false rumors. When the Jiuli Gu King built the tomb, he let people dig a 100-meter-wide road around the stone cone, spiraling downward, extending from the bottom of the mountain to the peak, if we can see from a distance, the whole mountain looks like a drill bit embedded in the rock layer. β
I couldn't help but sigh a little emotionally: "I don't know how much people the Jiuli Gu King levied back then to build such a huge tomb." Hey, how do you know that this tomb was built by King Jiuli Gu? β
Wu Lin: "I know more than you think, but there are some things I can't say yet. β
I said, "Is this another secret of your organization?" β
In fact, I originally wanted to say that this is another internal secret of the Funeral Sect, and I was afraid that as long as the word "Funeral Sect" was mentioned, Boss Wen and the others would be suspicious of Wu Lin, so they changed their words.
Wu Lin nodded: "I still have a contract with them now, and when I quit, I will tell you those secrets." β
I smiled, "You're quite contractual. β
Wu Lin: "This is my work ethic. There is the first burial chamber in front of you, and after this burial chamber, don't talk easily. β
As he spoke, he picked up his flashlight and threw the beam of light at a stone gate not far away.
I don't know if this door has no door panel, or because of perennial corrosion, the door panel has been swallowed up, at this time, there is only a two-meter-high, two-meter-wide door frame, the light along the door hole, can vaguely see some of the arrangements inside.
The furnishings in this burial chamber make it look like a study, with bookcases, small tables, and a small couch about 20 centimeters high, all made of stone, and over the years, these stone household items have become very round, as if someone had deliberately smeared a layer of lard on them.
I leaned over to the door and took a closer look, frowning slightly: "This place doesn't look like a tomb, it's more like a place for the living." β
Wu Lin pursed his lips and shook his head: "The tombs in this place are more and more weird than the other, and when you see more, you won't think that these small stone halls are for the living." β
After walking through the first tomb, Wu Lin and I stopped talking, and every time I went to a tomb, he would pick up his flashlight and shine a light on the door, so that I could see the scene inside.
I think Wu Lin's actions are very deliberate, he seems to want to get some answers from me, he wants to know, why the tombs here are arranged the way they are.
Wu Lin is right, the tombs in this place are indeed stranger than the other.
The first burial chamber looks like a study, and the second burial chamber has a stone bed, which looks like a bedroom, but on the bed surface, there is also a slender arm carved, because the moisture has made the surface of the stone very soft, the stone carved arm also looks like a faint sense of flesh, as if it is a real broken arm, just placed in the center of the stone bed.
After passing through several burial chambers one after another, each burial chamber is a living person has lived in the appearance, the guest hall, the latrine, the kitchen, all available, except for the first study, in each burial chamber, there is a broken limb beaten by stone.
I tried to put the severed limbs together in my mind, just enough to fit them into a human form, but I didn't reveal them.
When I checked the ninth burial chamber, I had already pieced together most of the human body in my mind, and I thought that the severed head should appear in the tenth burial chamber, but I didn't expect that there were no various household belongings in the tenth burial chamber, only a stone in the right position to beat the coffin, in this burial chamber, I did not find the head of the stone man as I imagined.
After passing by this burial chamber, the next burial chamber was a study again, but all the furnishings in this burial chamber were upside down, the zenith became the ground, the ground became the zenith, and all the stone tools were inlaid above our heads.
The next few burial chambers were also turned upside down in this way, and there were also various severed limbs inside, and all of them were carved into the ground near the threshold.
