Chapter 31: The Yellow Spring of Corpses

"You mean this palace is the second to come in, and has been here for a long time? So is his purpose also to live forever? ”

Wei Zi looked at him like a hungry wolf, and continued: "The other person you mentioned, he discovered this place and knew about it, but his strength alone couldn't get in, so he wanted to use the power of the newly rising Jurchens to achieve his goal, right?" ”

Old man Liu nodded appreciatively and said, "Huang Shilang is Huang Shilang, and the guess is not bad." Well, no matter how much you say, it's all speculation, and only by opening the door to the truth here can you know whether it is a person sitting in this cloud palace or a complete face. After speaking, he stood up and pointed to the end of the stone road, and continued: "According to the arrangement here, the front is almost to the entrance hall, and after passing the entrance, it should be regarded as truly entering the core." ”

"How do you know it's the Entrance Hall? Have you been here? Dabao said in a lost voice.

I laughed, patted Dabao on the shoulder and explained: "Isn't the entrance hall really called the name of the entrance, just like did you pass through the entrance when you entered the door?" That's the name given to the layout. ”

Dong Bing stared at his vest and said with a smile: "Make a fool of yourself, otaku, go back and play less games." ”

Dabao glanced at him and followed behind Weizi, not paying any attention to Dong Bing. Old man Liu took a picture of the inscription before leaving the stone platform where the dragon was carved. After leaving there, there were no moths along the way, and the calm made us feel unreal and uncomfortable.

On the way, I whispered to Weizi, "Have you noticed a problem?" ”

He shook his pupils and glanced around, and lowered his voice and said, "Do you want to say that Old Man Liu and Dina have a problem?" ”

Damn, he really saw it, but he kept pretending to be deaf and dumb and didn't say anything to anyone.

"Then you should see that Long Wu doesn't seem to know a lot of things, but Old Man Liu keeps talking, if it wasn't for Dina gently pulling him just now, it is estimated that Old Man Liu doesn't know what he would say. And when it comes to the fight between Zhen Xuan and Wanyan Agu, Long Wu seems to feel very novel, but looking at Dina's expression, he is a little calm. I glanced at the woman's back and continued: "It seems that Long Wu doesn't know everything here, but Dina and Old Man Liu know a lot, aren't they all the way?" ”

Weizi lightly tapped the back of my hand, lowered his voice, and said simply: "Hold your heart, pretend not to know, if the infighting remains neutral, the two sides will not be offended, and we will talk about it after they fight." ”

"Aren't you afraid of harming the pond fish?" I was worried: "It's often played like this in TV dramas, the two sides fight, and they usually kill the side that wants to be a yellow finch first, and then they do it." ”

Wei Zimu kept looking up at the front without squinting, and said, "Then what do you want?" Kill them first? Now only they know how to get out, and if they do it first, they will all end up together. ”

Dong Bing, who was walking in front, shouted 'Arrived' to interrupt my words, only then did I notice that I had now walked out of the passage, and the scale of the Holy Child Treasure Hall was much smaller than the Holy Child Treasure Hall I had seen before, probably only the size of an ordinary farm compound, boxy, only two or three stories high, and the eaves were carved with all kinds of birds and beasts, and the appearance was peculiar.

A half-meter-high stone fence carved from white jade stone surrounds the entrance hall on three floors, and there is no plaque in the center of the three-meter-high bronze door, nor is there any carving decoration on the door, which looks like a simple ordinary bronze door.

"There shouldn't be any mechanism this time, right?" Dong Bing looked at the door, retracted his outstretched hand, and said brightly, "To open or not to open?" ”

I looked left and right at the location of the stone fence link, it seemed that there was only one way to enter the entrance, and asked Long Wu's opinion, he nodded in agreement, and Old Man Liu interjected: "Since you have entered here, you can rest assured that you will open it with one hundred and twenty hearts, and you will arrange so many mechanisms in the position where you enter the house?" ”

Dong Bing and Lei Hong checked the direction of the bronze door opening, held back their strength, the door only moved, and had to continue to call people to help, and finally counted me seven or eight people to open the bronze door, there were no transparent holes or windows on the walls around the entrance hall, and the inside was pitch black, and I couldn't see my fingers.

I turned on the flashlight and shook it inside, the visibility was very low, and I couldn't see it so clearly. Weizi told us not to go in first, and wait for the air to circulate for a while before entering, after all, it has been closed for a long time, and no one knows if there are poisonous things inside, so let's wait and see.

A group of people stood or sat outside for half an hour, Weizi lit a fire fold and threw it in, and saw that the fire fold on the ground was not extinguished, so he put his mind at ease and said: "You can enter, if anyone feels unwell, come out quickly, don't hold on." ”

The flashlight shined in first, and at first glance when I entered the door, I saw a huge stone pillar standing in the middle of the entrance hall, and it probably took at least twenty adult men to hold it, and the pillar was not long, only two stories high, and its diameter and width did not match at all.

After inspecting the corners around the hall, I didn't find anything worth noting, which means that it was empty, and the harmful Dongbing was a little unwilling, saying that he entered the treasure mountain and returned empty-handed, how did he come in and it was all empty? I smiled and patted him, "You really think this is a tomb, and whose owner would put something valuable in the hallway." Isn't that a thief worried? ”

"Aren't we thieves?" Dabao said out of place.

Dong Bing and I shouted at him in unison, "Shut up! ”

At this time, he noticed that the surroundings were quiet and abnormal, and when he looked around, he found that the rest of the people were looking around the pillar. I shone a flashlight on it, and found that the top of the column was carved with rock wall carvings, and the carvings were quite clear, outlining a long series of ecological and moving pictures.

At first, I thought it was a picture of life in the palace on the clouds, and I was going to savor the content above, but the more I got to the back, the more strange I felt, and it seemed that the description was not based on the palace on the clouds, but on the majestic mountains, under which several spacious rivers flowed.

The depiction of a group of characters, walking towards the mountains without covering their bodies, what surprised me the most was that it was obviously a simple rock mural, but it also portrayed the expressions of the characters vividly, shaking the flashlight to see the faces of each character, all of them were half-pulled eyelids, and their eyes were dull and unfocused.

After Weizi circled around the pillar, he said strangely, "What is this rock painting about?" It feels inexplicable, you see! He pointed to a strange man with long hands and feet holding a steel fork and said, "This doesn't look like the monster you encountered in the Holy Child Treasure Hall?" ”

As soon as he said that, I realized that it was really the case, but what was the purpose of this painting here, which made us very puzzled. Old man Liu's face didn't look good, as if he had seen something. Seeing me and Weizi looking at him, I had no choice but to speak: "Don't you think this portrait is Huangquan Road? ”

"You look at the dotted line behind these figures, it seems to represent some kind of meaning, or puppet, or corpse, and then look at those monsters with long hands and long legs holding steel forks, don't you think they look like yaksha ghosts?"

As he spoke, Old Man Liu suddenly stared at us with a wide circle of eyes, turned to us, his fingers trembled and pointed to the murals on the stone pillars, and he was speechless for a long time with excitement. The anxious Dongbing was very similar to slapping him a few times, I pinched his shoulder and shook it twice, before he eased up, stared at the mural and said: "No wonder it looks so familiar, I think of it, I remember!" ”

"Damn, if you think of something, just say it." Dong Bing glared at him.

"An art exhibition, it's an art exhibition!" Old man Liu seemed to recall something, "I remember last month, in a Li County and other people, I saw someone holding an art exhibition nearby, and I was bored and planned to go in to pass the time, and one of the oil paintings was exactly the same as this rock painting." ”

Dabao plucked his nostrils and said, "It's also possible that you are dazzled and misremembered, this place has been visited by us for more than a thousand years, who is bored enough to run in and copy a rock painting." ”

I shook my head and said, "You don't have to come in, the contents of the petroglyphs may have been carved in other places, and they have been discovered by others and turned into works in the exhibition." ”

Suddenly, Old Man Liu patted his head and said, "The name of that oil painting is Huangquan Picture of Accumulated Corpses." ”
