Chapter 10 Murals
I heard Lao Zhao talk about the contents inside, so I asked, "Lao Zhao, we came here this time to find the spirit mirror, could it be that the spirit mirror is in the secret room at the other end of the vent?" If so, can't this mirror touch water? Lao Zhao said slowly: "No matter what's inside, it's definitely a good thing to hide so hidden, even if we don't find the mirror this time, it's worth the trip to catch some other good things!" ”
As soon as I heard it, I thought it made sense, we were looking for the Spirit Mirror for money, no matter what we found here, as long as we could sell it for money, it would be the same for us. But how to enter the secret room at the other end of the vent, there is only this passage in front of us, but the passage turns here, and I don't know if we can reach the secret room by following the passage.
We stayed at the ventilator for about half an hour, and finally we decided to continue walking along the passage. We always believe that there must be something in the depths of the passage that we are looking for.
Lao Zhao still walked in front with a torch in one hand and a vine in the other, and the monkey and I followed closely behind. The passage made a ninety-degree turn to the left from the ventilator, and after we walked for a while, we turned several times in succession, and when we turned a one-hundred-and-eighty-degree turn, the passage seemed to become straight, and we walked for more than ten minutes without changing direction again.
At this time, the monkey suddenly shouted behind me: "Lao Zhao, Lao Yang, look! There seems to be something painted on the stone walls on both sides of the passage! As soon as Lao Zhao and I heard this, we immediately stopped, and when I looked back, I saw that there were indeed some carvings on the stone wall illuminated by the monkey with torches, and these carvings were from here, and they were not found in the previous passage.
Through the light of the torches, the carvings on the stone walls can be seen clearly, as if they are carved every one meter away, and the content of each painting is also very similar, and the carvings are symmetrically distributed on the stone walls on both sides. At first glance, I thought that the content of the painting was very simple and not interesting, but when I saw the painting from the first one to the last one, I felt uncomfortable, and suddenly I felt that the content of the painting was very weird!
The first depiction on the stone wall shows a man standing near a wall, with his left foot stepping forward, his hands behind his back, and his upper body leaning forward slightly, as if he is walking forward, and his shadow is projected right onto the wall.
The second depiction is similar to the first, except that the person in the painting steps forward with his right foot, and in the following depiction, the person in the painting takes the left and right feet alternately, and from beginning to end it looks like a person walking near a wall with his hands behind his back. There doesn't seem to be anything strange about this, but the key is that the shadows of the people on the wall in the painting, from the first one to the last, the shadows on the wall gradually become curved from the straight upper body, until the last one, the shadows on the wall in the painting have become rickety!
After looking at all the murals, the monkey asked, "Damn, what's the matter with the shadow of the man in this painting, how does it seem that this man is walking and walking, and his shadow is slowly bending down!" ”
The monkey and I both felt that the portrayal was very weird, so we asked Lao Zhao, who just kept shaking his head, and said after a while: "I don't know, this place is very evil, let's be careful!" ”
We didn't stop, and then we walked on. Just walked for a few minutes, and then found that there were new carvings on the stone walls on both sides, and the carvings on both sides of the stone walls were also symmetrical, and the content of the carvings was a human face, only to see the faces of the people in the carving with clear eyebrows, handsome and extraordinary, smiling, the monkey looked at it, and said: "Hey, I said Lao Yang, the person in this painting is quite handsome, but how do I feel that it looks a little awkward!" ”
I saw that the monkey kept staring at the depiction and said, "Hmph, you feel awkward when you see someone who looks better than you?" The monkey did not pay any attention to my words, and he continued, "Oh, look, how come the eyes of the people in the depiction are all looking down obliquely?" ”
Lao Zhao and I felt something strange when we heard it, so we also looked carefully at the eyes of the people in the painting, and sure enough, they were all looking down obliquely, and they seemed to be staring at the floor of the passage. I felt a little strange and said, "Is there some mechanism on the floor of this passage?" ”
Lao Zhao also felt the same way, he immediately shone the torch on the floor, and the monkey and I also followed to find it, only to see that the ground was paved with bluestone slab bricks, neatly arranged, and the edges and corners were smooth, and they stretched out.
We searched the stone slab for a while, but we didn't find any mechanism. I don't think I'm a little puzzled, could it be that I think too much, is it useless to portray such a good idea!
Seeing that there was no clue, we had to continue walking, and the monkey seemed to be unwilling, and as he walked, he looked at the human face on the stone wall. After walking for a while, the monkey suddenly shouted again: "Look, the faces on the stone wall seem to have changed!" ”
As soon as I heard this, I immediately stopped, could it be that the same as the previous portrait portrayal, this face portrayal is also gradual! So I carefully studied the portrayal in front of me, and indeed, as the monkey said, the expression of the depiction had changed, from the previous smile to a stern expression, and the direction of the eyes seemed to be raised a little higher.
I went back and looked at the previous ones, and as I thought, the depictions are really changing. We immediately walked forward again, until we reached the last depiction of the place, we used torches to illuminate the back to see, suddenly only felt a cold back, a trembling heart, at this time the face portrayal is no longer the previous handsome and extraordinary smiling face, but the facial features are bleeding, the face is extremely distorted and hideous, it is similar to the hideous and terrifying face of the monkey that Lao Zhao and I saw in the dream, and it makes us feel goosebumps all over our bodies, and the eyes of the person in the depiction are no longer oblique to look down, Instead, they stared straight at our faces, and no matter what direction we stood, those eerie eyes were always staring at us!
