Chapter 710: Iron Tree Hell, Evil Mirror Hell
Hearing Qing Yazi say this, I couldn't help but worry, even a person with a clear mind like him was confused, and Lao Wen Ke was even more dangerous.
After all, the power of the Evil Mirror Hell is not something that mortals can bear.
In folklore, the Mirror Hell is equivalent to a transit station for the eighteenth layer of hell, and the ghosts who are escorted here will be sent to the mirror of the afterlife, and the mirror will reflect the soul bones, and the heavy karma of the deceased during his lifetime will be presented on the mirror, and then he will be escorted to other hells according to the severity of the sins.
Once a living person is affected by the mirror of death, all the sins committed in this life will appear in the heart, and the depression and resentment brought by the karma will also explode like a tsunami. Thanks to Qing Yazi and Lao Wen, they are both people who have cultivated their minds, and if they are replaced by ordinary people, their minds will definitely be irreversibly damaged.
However, now Qingyazi and Lao Wen looked relaxed, and I was also curious, so I asked again: "What are you eating?" ”
Qing Yazi replied at this time: "Forget the Worry Pill, eating this thing can temporarily stabilize the mind, but the side effects are also very big." ”
Lao Wen suddenly became worried: "What side effects?" ”
"In two days, you will lose your mind," Qing Yazi also had a bitter face: "But the state of loss of consciousness will not last long, and it will be relieved in four hours at most." ”
Losing one's mind, to put it bluntly, is becoming almost like an idiot.
As soon as I ate this, it meant that we had to leave this place within two days.
How easy it is to say that!
The ghost pawn is dead, and the living corpse is also like a fool, standing motionless, Qing Yazi and Lao Wen fell silent, and the cave in the darkness suddenly quieted down, except for the breathing of the three of us, we could only occasionally hear the movement of water droplets.
I tried to observe the surroundings with Qi Sha, and the large area around me was full of stalactites except for stone stalactites, and it felt like I was trapped in a densely wooded forest, and I couldn't make out the direction at all. Later, I took out the compass and looked at it, the magnetic field in this place was chaotic, and the magnetic needle on the compass couldn't be fixed at all, which made people feel irritable.
Lao Wen raised his hand and patted me on the shoulder: "There seems to be movement." ”
His sense of hearing seems to be more sensitive than me and Qingyazi, and last time he was the first to hear the movement on the side of the stone platform, hearing him say this, I quickly pricked up my ears, but I didn't hear anything.
Old Wen reminded me: "You put your ears to the ground. ”
I did as he said, leaning down and pressing my ears against the ground, which was cold and rough, and it took me a while to get used to the uncomfortable touch, and when I got used to it, I heard a small crackling sound.
At first glance, the sound sounded similar to the movement of water droplets hitting the ground, but if you look closely, you can still notice something unusual.
Da, da......
It's light, it's regular, and the decibel barely changes, like someone standing still in hard-soled shoes.
I carefully identified the source of the strange noise, and it took me a lot of effort to make sure that it was coming from the stone platform.
Lao Wen lowered his voice and said to me, "When the strange shadow appeared, it was also this movement. ”
I nodded, got up quickly, and touched the stone platform with my cat's waist, and when I was almost in front of the stone platform, I saw clearly that the thing pressing on the table was a stone guillotine, and the guillotine was sharpened very thin, like a knife.
Lao Wen and Qing Yazi also came back and forth, Lao Wen lit up the flashlight in his hand, and the white light swept on the left side of the stone platform, I found that there was a hole in the ground, and when I looked at this side by leaning on the quicksand of the Qi Sea before, what I saw was obviously a raised stone protrusion.
The Qi field in the cave seems to be sealed by something, it is as if someone has covered the hole with a film, the Qi field inside can't get out, and the Qi field outside can't get in, and the Qi sand is distorted and deformed when it flows through here, outlining a slightly raised outline, which looks similar to a stone protrusion.
Lao Wen came to the entrance of the cave and put the light in, the hole was not deep, the drop point of the beam was about three or four meters deep, and the footsteps came from a long distance from the entrance of the cave.
I first lowered the old man and the green cliff with a trekking, and then jumped in. When I landed, Qingyazi also lit the flashlight, and swept around with Lao Wen, and saw a large area of sharp light on the stone walls on both sides, which at first glance looked like the reflection of ice crystals.
Qing Yazi walked to the stone wall and looked at it carefully, saying that the things on the stone wall were all quartz.
I didn't want to waste time, so I turned on the flashlight, beckoned to him and Lao Wen, and walked in the direction where the footsteps came.
We hadn't gone far before the footsteps disappeared, and the three of us could only continue to walk forward with the memory of the source of the sound, three beams of light swept together in the darkness, occasionally illuminating some large stone pillars that reflected the shattered light, and there were shadows one by one, as if dead bodies were hanging on them.
Later, when we got closer, we saw that the stone pillars that stood on the ground were about the same thickness, and many sharp and narrow quartz stones were born obliquely from the pillars, and the living corpses were stuck in the stone tips, and when they swept the light on the living corpses, their eyes could still slowly move with the light.
Qing Yazi said sullenly: "Iron Tree Hell." ”
Lao Wen held a flashlight and swept around impatiently, in the empty cave, the light passed over the iron trees, and the shadows of the iron trees and the living corpses were also constantly moved.
I grabbed Lao Wen's shoulder, frowned and asked him, "What are you doing?" ”
Lao Wen lowered his voice and said, "There are ghosts in the first two layers of hell, and there may be one in this layer. ”
Qing Yazi continued: "That ghost pawn in the tongue pulling hell seems to be easier to deal with than the one in the scissors hell." ”
As soon as he said this, I suddenly came back to my senses, the most ancient in the tongue-pulling hell can be burned into slag by karmic fire alone, but the pangolins and ghost pawns we encountered in the back are completely immune to karmic fire because of the breath of the Netherworld Treasure, does this mean that the deeper you go, the more troublesome things you encounter later.
But looking back, it's not right, the ghost pawns in the scissors hell are much more fragile than the giant pangolins.
When the Netherworld Tongbao created hell, there must have been some laws, but what the laws were, I really couldn't figure out for a while.
At this time, I heard Qing Yazi say: "Didn't the diary say that there is a cave group in this place, but how do I think that the underground structure is hierarchical?" ”
"It's an illusion," I said, after a moment of contemplation, "the caves that the Japanese see are illusions created by the Mirror Hell." The structure here is inherently hierarchical. ”
As I spoke, I picked up my flashlight and lit it behind me and in front of me.
On the way here, the quartz we saw was scattered on the stone wall like mildew, and the further back we went, the larger the volume and density of the quartz. Now I still know where the road is, but if I go a little deeper, I will be surrounded by stone pillars like trees, and I can't find the way back if I want to.
However, as long as you keep walking in the direction of quartz-denser, at least you won't spin in place.
Later, we did move forward in this way, walking about 200 meters in the iron forest, and then shining towards the top of the cave, we could hardly see the potholed stone walls, and everywhere we could see was the reflection of quartz.
Lao Wen and Qing Yazi had to sweep around from time to time, for fear that the ghost pawn would suddenly rush out and catch us off guard.
On the contrary, I was more at ease, because in the field of vision of the quicksand of the Qi Sea, apart from the three of us, I didn't find anything else that could move.
I don't know how long I've been walking like this, but I gradually have a strange feeling. It felt as if something was calling me in the depths of the darkness, and it gave me a very warm and exciting feeling, like the feeling that the big and small black gave me every time I went home.
The deeper you go, the stronger this feeling becomes. Later, I stopped looking at the light reflected on the quartz and went by feeling.
I could vaguely guess that it might be a summoning from Netherworld.
Passing over a particularly dense iron tree, we finally came to the end of the cave, and under the glittering quartz wall in front of us, there was a very wide crack, the edge of the crack seemed to have been artificially polished, and the quartz stones embedded on it were not angular, and looked very rounded.
I punched the light into the crack, and the deep reflection was full of specular light, unlike the surrounding quartz walls, which reflected the light and shattered.
Qing Yazi leaned over me, looked carefully into the rift, smacked his lips casually, and said with some concern: "From here, it should be the hell of the evil mirror." I don't know if my Forgetfulness Pill can withstand the power of the Mirror of the Afterlife. ”
I said, "Now that we're all here, let's go down and have a look, and if it's not right, you two will withdraw." ”
Qing Yazi sighed sullenly and reminded Lao Wen to calm his mind in advance.
There was a slope made of quartz stones in the crack, and I was the first to go down, and Qingyazi followed closely behind me, and it took Lao Wen a year to calm down, and finally he slowly followed.
Deep in the slope was a stone hall with no more than 20 square meters on one side, but it was very high, and I tried to sweep the light, and the light could illuminate the four walls in front and back, left and right, but it could not shine through the darkness overhead. When I turned the light on the opposite side, I saw a tall mirror standing in front of me.
This thing is the Mirror of the Afterlife?
I walked over and took a closer look, and it was a long and narrow stone, and the stone surface seemed to have been washed by water for a long time, and it was very smooth, and when the light shone on, the reflected light was similar to the reflection of a mirror.
"Don't stare at the mirror." Qingyazi reminded Lao Wen, swept around with a flashlight, and said to me after a while: "This seems to be a dead end." ”
I waved my hand to signal him not to speak, then lowered my steps and walked towards the stone wall in front of me, and when I checked the mirror, I felt as if something was beating behind the stone wall, it didn't make any sound, and the sand couldn't outline it through the stone wall, but I could still feel its presence.
It was an incomparably strange perception, like a person in a state of extreme silence perceiving his own heartbeat.
