Chapter 47: The Choice of Life and Death
The stone room was indeed empty, there was no one, but there was a half-lit candle in the corner of the wall, the candlelight was dim and smart, and with the flickering of the air current, the whole space was shrouded in a layer of yellow.
Xinyi had heard me say that there was no one in the stone room, and her reaction was very flat, but when she learned that there was a half-lit candle in the stone room, she was taken aback, and before I could ask why, she turned around and walked directly into the stone room.
The monkey and I immediately followed, although the stone room was small, I just took a hasty look at it before, although I only saw a candle, but I didn't think there was anything strange, just stepped into the door of the stone room, my back unconsciously hit a chill, it seemed that the whole space was full of evil spirits.
The half of the candle stood in a corner of the stone room, about twenty centimeters from the corner of the wall, and the candle was less than a finger long, and the flame was burning vigorously, and the hot wax slowly flowed down the wax body.
Through the candlelight, the floor of the stone chamber and the four walls began to show some dark red interlaced lines, and when you looked closely, you found that it was also some fine grooves and ravines, which were exactly the same as those on the bronze coffin wall in the stone cave! Could it be that the stone chambers in this seventh floor are equivalent to a bronze coffin in a stone cave?
Sure enough, the monkey found a bottle of bronze tripod on the stone wall on one side, and the lower mouth of the small tripod was facing the starting position of the room full of grooves and ravines, but there was nothing in the tripod!
Xinyi walked into the stone room and walked directly to the burning candle, she squatted next to the candle, staring at the flames, motionless, not knowing what she was thinking.
I groped along the grooves and found that the grooves in the stone chamber were slightly wider and deeper than those on the bronze coffin walls, but there was still a red mark on the bottom of the gully, and I wondered if these differences and similarities represented some kind of meaning.
The monkey circled around the stone chamber, and finally returned to the bronze ding, scratching his head and asking us, "I said, you two, have you found something?" ”
I got up and came to the bronze tripod and said, "These stone chambers should be the same as the bronze coffins in the stone caves, which are also used to store something!" ”
"That's what you mean?"
As he spoke, the monkey pulled out the piece of white he had taken out of the bronze coffin.
I nodded, "yes, that's it!" It's just that the seventh floor replaces the bronze coffin with such a large stone chamber, there must be a mystery in it! ”
The monkey then said: "What is mysterious, you don't have to mess with this leisure, at the moment I have three questions, let's figure it out first and then discuss something else!" ”
I raised my eyebrows at the monkey and motioned for him to continue.
"This first question, why is there no one in the stone room, and where did the two brothers Maruko and Zhuangzi go? The gun statement came from here! The second question ......"
When the monkey said this, he shook the white thing in his hand in front of my eyes, and then said, "The second question is who took the white thing from the bronze tripod in this stone room?" And the third question, who lit this candle and put it here? ”
After listening to the monkey, I nodded again and again: "Yes, these three questions are indeed the top priority that we must figure out, especially this first one, where did the two brothers Maruko and Zhuangzi go!" ”
"There's a fourth question!"
As soon as I finished speaking, I heard Xinyi crouching next to the candle with her back to us and saying, "Figuring out the fourth question is the real purpose of our trip!" ”
"What's the fourth question?" The monkey and I asked in unison.
"The fourth question is the meaning of these lines of inscription on the candle!"
"Lettering?"
The monkey and I were both shocked when we heard this, and then we saw Xinyi blow out the candle, got up and handed us the half of the candle!
I took the candle and shone it with a flashlight, and sure enough, on the remaining half of the candle, it was really engraved with dense small characters, and the lettering spread from the root of the candle to the direction of the wick, and I read it unconsciously:
Come to the ghost building, explore life and death, get out of the ghost building, make life and death decisions, the truth begins in front of you, takes the way of choice, and ends in Changbai Glacier......
The lettering has reached the wick part of the lamp when it is read here, and there should be words on the back, but the candle has been burned!
The monkey listened to me read it and took it to myself again, I pondered it several times in my heart, I really don't know the reason, only the last four words "Changbai Glacier" quite touched, is the person who left the word to guide us to Changbai Mountain?
The monkey muttered to the side: "What life and death choice? What truth? What Changbai Glacier? What does it all mean? ”
"It's simple! It is to explain to us the significance of some ghost buildings! ”
Xinyi took back the candle from the monkey's hand and said: "The meaning of the inscription is that the purpose of coming to the ghost building is to explore life and death, and when you leave the ghost building, you have to make a choice between life and death, and the truth of the puzzle has always been in front of us, just to see how we choose, and it will eventually end up under the Changbai Glacier!" ”
Xinyi roughly explained to us according to the content of the lettering, which sounds like the same meaning, but the mystery in these words can not be explained clearly by these few sentences.
The monkey was very puzzled after hearing this, and he asked Xinyi: "Hey, I said, what is the person who comes to the ghost building to explore life and death, and when he leaves the ghost building, he has to make a choice between life and death?" Lao Yang and I came to the ghost building to find someone, and by the way, we will get some treasures to go back, what kind of messy things are life and death decisions! What other facts and truths are in front of us, and since they are in front of us, why haven't I seen them? ”
Xin Yi was silent after hearing this, just staring at the candle in her hand in a daze for a while.
I replied, "Maybe there's more to the engraving on the candle, but it's just that the candle has burned a lot of it, so we can't see it!" ”
The monkey replied angrily: "Hey, the person who left the word is really lacking in heart, and he doesn't leave any place, but he wants to stay on this candle, and if he stays on the candle, he has to light the candle!" Fortunately, we came early, if we were one step too late, and when the candles were burned to ashes, wouldn't we not see anything? ”
