Chapter 42: Truth and Falsehood
How to distinguish between reality and illusion? If the prophecy in this stone chamber and the prophet's stone box are illusions created by corpse incense konjac, when did this illusion begin?
I don't think my brain can handle this kind of complex problem, if only Shirley Yang could help analyze it, and I can't put the fat man's head together than half of hers.
However, I think that the "corpse incense konjac" creates an illusion that allows us to kill each other, and it is just speculation that the magic flower is really powerful, and the scene on the stone beam of the ghost cave has shocked me to this day, but I am not 100% sure that the prophet's prophecy is a trap.
The fat man saw that I was distracted again, so he pushed me: "What's the matter, Lao Hu, why have you always had straight eyes recently?" Are we going to clean up this American girl? ”
I asked the fat man to look at Professor Chen, leaned down and asked Shirley Yang: "You said that your grandfather was also fighting before he went to the United States, and there is no basis for his words, how can I believe you?" ”
Shirley Young stared at me hatefully and said, "Thief, do you believe it or not...... I have my grandfather's relics around my neck, you can see it. ”
"Relic?" Could it be that it is a gold talisman? Sure enough, I saw two necklaces hanging around her neck, and when I reached out and pulled them out, one was a cross, and the other was indeed a "gold talisman" made of the claws of the Sichuan mountain carapace.
This thing is extremely secret in the world, and the tomb robbers are not everyone who has them, and even most of the tomb robbers have never seen this thing, the objects are divided into high and low according to the person, the value of the gold talisman itself is not precious, it falls on the ground, and it may be too lazy to pick up the rags, but for the tomb robbers who have been passed down from generation to generation, this is a priceless treasure, it symbolizes a kind of seniority.
I picked up Shirley Yang's gold talisman and looked at it carefully, people have to die more than people, and goods have to be thrown away, compared with her gold talisman, the two that the big gold tooth gave me and the fat man simply can't ask for.
Shirley Yang's touch gold talisman at a glance is known to be the antiquities of the Later Han Dynasty, the two seal characters on the charm "touch gold", the strokes are vigorous and simple, the ancient meaning is proud, it is made of the sharpest claws of the Chuanshan armor, like black crystal as slightly transparent, although the age is long, there is no trace of wear and tear, the claw root is locked with a circle of gold thread, and the whole body is engraved with the flying tiger stripes to ward off evil.
And the two pieces of me and the fat man, compared with this one, the truth and falsehood are obviously artificially old, and the material selection process cannot be compared. Damn, this grandson of the big gold tooth, fooled us with fakes, I said how it never worked.
I took Shirley Yang's gold talisman in my hand and looked at it for a long time, I was a little in love with it, I was reluctant to put it down, I really didn't want to return her.
Shirley Yang shouted: "Pay me back quickly, if you want to kill me, you just want to make money together?" ”
I hung the gold talisman back on Shirley Yang's neck: "Since your grandfather is also upside down, why do you call us stinky thieves one by one, don't you even scold your grandfather, and there is a reason for dealing with you like this." He told Shirley Yang the prophecy of the stone painting on the second layer of the stone box, and finally said to her: "All this may be the illusion of death created by the corpse incense konjac, but I can't let you go for the time being until it's confirmed." ”
After Shirley Yang heard this, his face softened slightly: "Then you should quickly think of some way, do you think it is very comfortable to be tied up by you, and I will let you taste this taste when I turn around." ”
I stood up and walked back and forth in the room for a few steps, staring at the stone paintings on the second layer of stone boxes, I really didn't dare to act rashly, if this prophecy is not an illusion, but true, then if you don't kill a person and open the second layer of stone boxes, the evil spirit will immediately appear and kill everyone, I feel more uncomfortable now than stepping on a mine, stepping on a mine is a big deal to blow yourself up, this prophecy is true or false, it is related to four lives, it is really difficult to choose.
Professor Chen was crazy, and Shirley Yang was a little suspicious, so I had to discuss with the fat man, and I told him all my inferences, knowing that he couldn't help much, but still hoping to find someone to share the pressure on my shoulders.
After hearing this, the fat man nodded: "Oh, it's like this, I understand, you're worried that we're still in the illusion created by that dog's tail flower, you told me earlier, such a big thing, I'll solve it for you immediately." ”
I wondered, "Can you tell?" This matter is not a child's play, but we can't play around, as soon as we make a mistake, we will lose all the games. ”
The fat man didn't speak, he raised his hand and gave me a slap, he shot quickly, I was defenseless, I was hit squarely, and my face hurt hotly.
I was about to do it, but I heard the fat man ask, "How's it going?" Does it hurt or not? ”
I rubbed my face: "Damn, my son beat Lao Tzu, it's against you, it still hurts, I slap you, you try to know if it hurts." As soon as I finished speaking, it immediately occurred to me that, by the way, if we could feel pain, it was not an illusion, and it seemed that we were not controlled by the corpse incense konjac.
I turned around and wanted to ask Shirley Yang again, and at a glance I saw that the stone paintings on the second layer of the stone box had changed, I hurriedly went over to take a closer look, but saw that the three stone paintings slowly blurred and disappeared, leaving only a small stone box blank, the stone box had a lid on it, and it was sealed with cowhide lacquer, in order to preserve the valuables inside for a long time.
Looking at the first layer of stone boxes, there is no change at all, all of them are prophetic prophecies, and in the end, there are still stone paintings with four people opening the first layer of stone boxes.
What's going on? Is there truth and falsehood? I pulled the fat man over and showed him what was on the second layer of stone boxes, and the fat man said no, wouldn't it be the same three stone paintings?
I raised my hand and gave him a slap: "Look at it again, are there any stone paintings?" ”
The fat man covered his face and said, "Hey...... This...... Not anymore, ***, it's a thing, I'll see what the is here. With that, he stretched out his hand and pulled the second stone box open.
I exclaimed, "Your hands are too fast, let you take a look, and don't let you do anything else." However, after the second layer of stone boxes was opened, nothing happened, and the four of them were all in good shape, and nothing happened to the evil spirits to kill people.
Based on my experience, I guess that we were indeed controlled by the "corpse incense konjac" just now, and the power of this magic flower is far beyond our estimates, and it is not only able to create illusions on the stone beams of the ghost cave.
At that time, I wanted to rush over the stone beam to rescue Sadipeng, but I fell into its hallucinatory trap, and then the fat man and Shirley Yang rescued me, and when I looked back, the petals of the corpse incense konjac that had been closed together were all open, facing us.
Since then, the scope of the hallucinations of the corpse incense konjac has expanded, after our searchlight went out, there were many black snakes, judging by the situation at the time, there were five of us, two of them could not move, under the siege of the snakes, no one was bitten by the snakes, this is really a miracle, now it seems that those snakes should be false illusions.
The corpse incense konjac created the illusion of so many black snake attacks, trying to force us into the cracks of the mountain and bury ourselves alive in it, but we didn't expect that we would escape farther and farther away in the cracks, and inadvertently escape into the tomb of the prophet.
Although this stone demon flower is powerful, the scope of its control has its limits after all, it is too far away from us to create too powerful illusions, so it changes the simplest stone painting and tempts us to kill each other.
And the terrible thing about the corpse incense konjac is that it is by no means an illusion created through the five senses of the person, as long as you look at it and remember its bewitching color, within a certain distance, you will be confused by it, but the farther the distance, the less powerful this illusion is.
Even if one or two people survive in the end, they will have a nervous breakdown because they killed their own companions with their own hands, so no one will ever know the secret of the Absolute Queen, what a fucking viciousness.
At this time, the fat man had already taken out the contents of the second stone box, which was an ancient book made of sheepskin, and I guess the revelations of the prophets, as well as the lost exquisite ancient kingdom, and the secrets of the ghost cave, were all in this book.
