Chapter 40: The Body
The snoring from the front lasted only a short time.
Because the voice was so thin that I couldn't hear it clearly, I didn't react much at the time, so I guess I misheard.
Following behind He Xigong, he walked forward cautiously with the evil son.
In a few moments, we were at the end of this tunnel.
Since the tunnel was sloping downward, the deeper I went, the more uncomfortable I felt, and the walls and floor tiles were all wet, covered with an unknown layer of slime.
I studied it with a flashlight, and the slime was transparent and tasteless, but it was very sticky, and I could pull out a long filament by dipping my finger into it.
"This is the cave that suppressed the creatures of the past?" I crouched on the ground and asked curiously.
At this moment, at the end of the tunnel, there is a hole about one square in the ground.
The entrance to the cave is boxy and unconventional, and the edges are polished, with a slight curve, and it is very smooth to the touch.
Underneath this opening, there seems to be another tunnel, both in terms of the paved bricks and the size of the tunnel, exactly the same as the tunnel we are in.
He Xigong didn't explain much to me, jumped into the tunnel below.
I jumped right after him, and when I raised my head and was about to let the villain jump down, I saw something I couldn't put into words...... Awkwardness??
It was only then that I realized that although the specifications of this tunnel were the same as the previous one, the floor tiles and wall tiles were opposite.
The wall tiles on both sides have not been moved, but the bricks on the ceiling and the floor have been reversed.
Although the tunnel as a whole is indescribably ordinary, and every corner is very reasonable, I feel very uncomfortable.
From the first tunnel, to the second tunnel.......
The abruptness and confusion that came to me inexplicably made my head dizzy.
I don't know why, but as soon as I landed in that tunnel, a crazy idea popped into my head.
The tunnel I was in, and the one I had just left in seemed to be upside down.
The middle level is the middle boundary line that separates the two tunnels, and it's not just the tunnel that is upside down, as if there are other .......
"What's going on??" My eyes widened, though I wanted to shout it.
But I was still a little sensible, and I didn't dare to speak up after I found out about the situation, and I looked down at my pants, only to feel that my cranial nerves were going to be deranged.
Before that, I clearly remembered that there was a fist-sized hole in the right leg of my trousers, which was left by the previous hands.
But at this moment, the big hole inexplicably ran to the left, completely opposite to its original position.
And that's not all.
In my left trouser pocket, I was originally carrying a pack of cigarettes, but now the trouser pocket with a cigarette case has deflated, and its relative position, in the right trouser pocket, is inexplicably bulging.
Reaching into his trouser pocket, he directly touched the box of cigarettes that was originally on the left.
At this time, He Xigong, who was walking in front, also found that the situation was wrong, to be precise, he found that I was wrong, and turned his head to look at me deliberately, with some doubts on his face.
"What's wrong?"
I gritted my teeth, forced myself to calm down, pressed my throat, and said tremblingly: "It's all reversed, up and down, left and right, it seems to be upside down......."
"It's not upside down, it's just that you look upside down." He Xigong reminded quietly.
Hearing this, I was stunned for a little for two seconds, and subconsciously touched my left trouser pocket with my hand.
I was immediately dumbfounded by this cold touch.
The deflated trouser pocket looked empty and didn't hold anything, but when I touched it, I could clearly feel a familiar touch there, like a box of transparent cigarettes.
Although it is not visible, it is indeed there, more real than what is seen.
"Do you know that ghosts hit the wall?" He Xigong asked me.
I nodded, rubbing my temples constantly, feeling that I was inexplicably in poor shape.
"It's like a ghost hitting a wall, it looks real, but after this layer of reality, there is another layer of reality." He Xigong sighed: "Be careful, we are almost there, and what you see next may be even more exaggerated than now." ”
If everything I see is unreal, then I shouldn't have a cigarette in my right trouser pocket.
The pack of cigarettes was real, I had taken it out and counted it, and like the pack on the left, there were only a few cigarettes left.
But I know that no matter how real it feels to me, it's just fake.
Following He Xigong, I rubbed my temples as I walked, and I felt like my whole head was about to explode.
It seems that there is an invisible person who is constantly stirring my cranial nerves, and the indescribable pain is constantly bewitching me, what I see is real, not a false illusion, it is all true.
"Do you know where that monster came from?"
I asked without words, hoping to divert my attention to make sure that my consciousness would not be blurred by the pain, and that I would be more awake.
"Others call it Erbishen, I call it Thorn, it's just a monster covered with thorns anyway, but I hear them say that in the old days, this monster once followed the true god of the old religion, the only king."
Hearing this, I sobered up a little and asked again quietly, "Is that the follower of the black-robed king?" ”
He Xigong nodded and said, yes.
"Do you really believe in a true God? Following that ethereal black-robed king, you might as well follow this monster, at least it's real. I whispered.
"The king of the black robe is also real, I have seen ......." He Xigong said, there was an indescribable longing in his tone, and every word revealed his worship of the king of the black robe: "Although I think they are all monsters, the real king of the black robe is indeed close to a god, and it is everywhere, not ethereal." ”
As soon as the words fell, He Xigong's tone became even more reverent.
"There is a saying in the church that the faceless person in the black robe stands under the afterglow, it was, it is, it is forever, I ......."
As he spoke, He Xigong paused abruptly, raised his hand and slapped his face again.
"Damn, the influence of these things on me seems to be getting deeper and deeper......" He Xigong said helplessly, and there was a faint hint of fear in his tone.
That's right, it's fear, not the faithful faith and worship of the Buddhas.
He Xigong still has some sense, and he still maintains his fear of the impact of those "things" on him.
From this time on, He Xigong stopped talking, was completely silent, and led me forward without saying a word.
The deeper I went into the tunnel, the more wrong I realized was here.
The cave is deeper underground, and it stands to reason that we should go down, but now the angle of inclination of the tunnel is inexplicably upward.
However, I didn't ask any more questions, and cautiously followed him, paying attention to the movement in the tunnel.
After walking for a while, He Xigong suddenly stopped and said, It's here.
"On it?" I asked him in some surprise, holding a flashlight and shining a light on the hole in the ceiling: "Isn't this the entrance to the qi vein in the Supo Temple?" We're back again?? ”
"Just go up and have a look." He Xigong said in a low voice.
After speaking, he didn't explain, he kicked the wall tiles with his feet, his arms were completely extended, touching the walls on both sides in large characters, and began to slowly climb up.
When he climbed up completely, I followed the villain.
Starting from the entrance and eventually returning to the entrance.
If the old monk is still waiting on the side, he will probably be scared!
However, this kind of thought, after climbing out of the entrance, completely disappeared.
We did go back to the temple, but we were stepping on the ceiling under our feet, and above our heads was the ground of the temple, and even the seated statue of Shakyamuni Buddha was turned upside down, as if floating in the air, standing firmly above our heads.
To be honest, what I saw was not horrible, nor was there any bloodshed.
But those are deranged..... Twist...... Upside down...... Those inexplicable things, but they made me feel like I was having a real nightmare.
"See! Erbi is right there! ”
