Chapter 69, The Secret in the Stone Wall
Back on the wooden beam, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Nini slapped me with a worried face and scolded: "You don't want to die, it was so dangerous just now, why don't you hurry up and think about it?" ”。
I said to Nini with a hippie smile: "Isn't there a beautiful senior sister you!" I'm sure you won't leave me alone! ”。 When I said this, Nini blushed, slapped me and scolded: "Flim tongue, I don't care about you next time."
I smiled, but I was flicked on the brain by the master, and the master scolded: "When are you still in the mood to joke, if Nini hadn't dragged you just now, your kid would have sunk to the bottom like the soul corpse of the town."
Although the master was full of reproach for me, but also cared about me, I laughed twice and my thoughts flew away, seeing that the mercury in the main hall was getting higher and higher, and it was about to drown on the stone tablet we stood on just now, and in a moment, the stone tablet and the murals would be completely annihilated.
At this time, a thought suddenly appeared in my mind, could it be that the wall that the little monk touched just now was weird? , If it is, that wall is the key location where the King of Bashu wants to destroy the "secret", and combined with the fact that the ghost just sneered at us at the beginning, and after the little monk unintentionally triggered the mechanism, he attacked us again and again, and the result can be obtained, and the secret is hidden somewhere in the murals, stone tablets and giant tripods, where is it?
The more I thought about the previous movements, the more clear the messy fragments in my mind became, and the more strange the scene in the hall became condescendingly at this moment. Just now Nini was caught and hung upside down on it, and when I looked up, I saw the ground in the hall, and in mid-air, the most prominent thing in the hall was the mural wall that was placed in the shape of the nine palaces of gossip. One of them stands out.
I took a look through the light of the torches, we were standing on top of the six-legged copper tripod just now, chasing after the soul suppression corpse that I was crushed by the giant tripod cover on the wall not long ago, at this moment the flesh and blood were blurred, splashing the white background of the painting wall with dirty blood, and the wall was full of black blood and flesh. Combined with the weight of the canopy, the wall was also smashed into a gap, and several cracks extended around it.
There are many murals on the eight brick walls, but there is only one wall that is full of all kinds of strange witchcraft rituals of the Bashu king, it is the side that is broken by the tripod cover, this wall is broken, the short corridor in the hall is sealed by the ghost, and the little monk inadvertently breaks the wall to trigger the mechanism and a large amount of mercury pours out from the dragon's mouth. All this shows that there are important things hidden in the wall, once it is violated by external forces, it will trigger the mechanism in the temple, and those who can't hide will be swallowed up by mercury, and the whole body will be blackened and die, if the intruder can escape from the top of the temple, in that moment, the mercury can also fill the apse, and it will be difficult for outsiders to find that there is something hidden in the wall.
Why don't you make that kind of mechanism directly, according to my guess, it may be that the person who designed this mechanism is convenient for taking out the things hidden in the wall in the future, which can also explain why the king of Bashu exhausted manpower and material resources to build the golden palace but failed to bring things into the Xuan Palace, but hid in this apse? This is very likely to be the clue left by the master Zhang Daoyi and Ninizu back then.
I didn't think much of it, but I had a gut feeling that there was something hidden in the wall. The so-called "flash of inspiration" is just a memory fragment received by the brain many times, which is synthesized under the stimulation of a specific occasion, and all the things that cannot be linked together are connected together in an instant, and they are directly reflected in the brain.
Seeing that the wall that I believed was hiding the secret was about to be flooded with mercury, I immediately shouted to my masters: "The secret is in that wall!" , Quick, take advantage of the fight now" I suddenly yelled, startling the master and Nini who were angry with me, and they asked questioningly: "What are you talking about, what is inside the wall".
Nini reached out and touched my head and asked suspiciously, "Ziyang, what's wrong with you, could it be that you were driven crazy by a powerful ghost?" ”。
At this time, I couldn't pay attention to their doubts, and pushed Nini's hand away with one hand, and found that the mercury in the hall was already emitting a strong smell of hot mercury due to the burning fire. Then it's time to descend to the cracked mural wall to see if there's still a chance to get the contents out.
After listening to my words, the master and Nini immediately understood that the evil ghosts who had been hiding in the dark were constantly attacking us, and if I went to find the secret at this time, it would inevitably not be hacked by it suddenly, and the human skin corpses around me were also full of strange aura.
I told the master to pay attention to those things, and the master understood my concern and told me, "Don't worry, if I notice any changes, I will not hesitate to deal with them, you just have to do what you want."
Nini also quickly climbed to the top of the main hall, ready to break the roof of the apse so that we could escape. And the little monk hid silently, ready for emergencies at any time.
Although the master they don't know what I want to find out, but at this moment they have also formed a strong tacit understanding, no matter what weird things are found in this mausoleum, there is always no harm to us, after all, compared to the thousand-year-old tomb of the Bashu King, we are all outsiders, the master They also understand my intentions, no matter what, it is not too late to go out in detail after a while, so they will divide labor on the wooden beams and start their actions.
The little monk was already frightened by the human skin corpse, and as soon as he heard me and the master say that he would deal with it all, he mustered up the courage to rub into the place where many white-robed human skin corpses were hanging, and raised the torch to burn it. I laughed secretly, with his fierce appearance, even ghosts and gods have to be afraid of him, but at that time, when the temple was hunted by the zombies, how could I not see his fierceness, if Zhang Daoyi hadn't appeared in time, I would have to wander in the world like that little bald man, but even if I was a ghost, I planned to be a good ghost.
Seeing that the mercury was getting higher and higher, at this moment he no longer thought about me and the little monk, so he pulled the rope tied around his waist, kicked desperately towards the wooden beam, and his body swung towards the mural wall.
