Chapter 42: The Beauty Bowl
Dina watched from the side for a while, then suddenly came over and turned my face at her, frowned slightly, and said to the others in surprise: "You see, the bruise on my forehead looks more and more like a miniature version of a human face." ”
My mood sank suddenly, is it as mysterious as you said?
Immediately, Weizi and a few people also came around, curiously pulling my head, looking left and right, as if watching the national treasure giant panda. I pushed away the hands they were touching on my head, found a mirror in Dabao's backpack, and compared it in front of the mirror, and found that it was really as Dinah said.
A little above the middle of the eyebrows, there is a bruise the size of a child's palm, but the color is relatively dull, it is not easy to see if you don't look carefully, there are eyes and mouths on the bruises, it is really like what she said. Maybe it's just a coincidence, that's how I consoled myself.
Put away the mirror, let everyone stop worrying about the bruises on my head, and get out of here first.
"You don't have a headache?" Weizi asked.
Glancing at the sacrificial hall behind him, he felt uneasy, and he didn't know what happened to Meng Jian. After a long time, I remembered that Weizi was talking to me, and then shook my head at him and said, "It's okay anymore, maybe it's because I saw that disgusting corpse, but now it's no different from usual." ”
After speaking, I took a deep breath, straightened out the items and checked the weapons and bullets, and then moved forward again, and in front of us was a very wide terrain, very similar to the square where the emperor summoned the ministers in the Qing palace drama I watched on TV, but unfortunately I didn't have much research on this aspect, and I couldn't call the square a reason.
However, looking at the hundreds of carved dragon-shaped stone pillars on the floor tiles neatly arranged, and a straight avenue made of white jade stone stretched down to a white stone bridge carved with a dragon head, coupled with the surrounding clouds and mist, it seems that our group of people are going to meet some king.
Everyone walked up and down the Longtou Stone Bridge in their hearts, and the sound of water slowly flowed under the bridge, but it was a pity that there was a layer of white fog on it, and the clear water surface could not be seen. After walking the stone bridge that is not very long, a row of stone pillars in front is arranged in two columns in turn, and it is obvious that these stone pillars are much thicker than those seen before crossing the bridge, and the dragon shapes carved on it are all hideous, fierce and vicious, and there is no noble and sacred beauty of the dragon at all, as if the evil dragon that ran out of hell wants to choose people and devour.
"Brother Xia, have you noticed that the gaze of these stone dragons, no matter which direction you look at, seems to be staring at you?" Dabao said nervously.
I snorted, I had already noticed this as early as after getting off the stone bridge, this may be just like the artwork carved by the dragon carver that Old Man Liu said, but when I think of Old Man Liu, I can't help but wonder, where did he and Long Wu go? After walking such a long distance, I didn't see any trace of them, as if they were missing.
"Look!" Weizi suddenly screamed, pulling me back from my thoughts, and he said, "There seems to be a door ahead. ”
Following the direction he said, there was indeed a single narrow door under the majestic palace wall, and the brilliant golden light in the sunlight was particularly eye-catching, and it was difficult not to notice it. I wondered in my heart: "Look at the posture of the door, why does it feel a little childish, isn't this the main gate?" ”
"Maybe you're right." Weizi helped the gold wire glasses, but unfortunately because of the bandage on his head, this action looked a little funny. "This should not be the main gate, the direction of the palace wall is extended, and the narrow gate should be just a side door, for people to enter and exit."
Looking at this picture, Dabao was obviously very excited, took out his mobile phone and took a photo, and then couldn't help but say strangely: "Why does it look gray and white?" I obviously haven't adjusted the background of this pattern. ”
I took his mobile phone and saw the photos above, the palace is still magnificent, and the palace walls are also majestic, but without the bright sunshine, the overall environment is much more eerie and terrifying. This unexpected discovery made everyone scratch their heads, and they all looked at the sun that hung in the sky forever.
"Could it be that this sun is also an illusion created by a mirage?" Dong Bing rubbed his chin full of stubble and said.
Weizi quickly denied his claim, "No, if it's an illusion, then how did these bright rays come from?" Illusions can't still illuminate us. ”
"If you can't figure it out, don't think about it, it won't hinder us anyway." Lei Hong shouted with a big grin.
Everyone also felt that what he said made some sense, so they put aside a question for the time being, and continued to walk towards the narrow gate, as they got closer and closer to the huge palace, even if they had not seen the front, they could feel the grandeur and majesty of this hall, at first they thought that this should be the foot of the bronze sacred tree, but now when they walked in front of them, they knew that the sacred tree was still quite far away from us.
In front of and behind the door, the narrow door was two people higher than what we saw in the distance. The whole door was golden, and there was a dragon head embedded in the door, which was also gold, and he grinned and spit out a gold bracelet. I nodded at Dong Bing and Lei Hong, and pointed my submachine gun at the door. They grabbed the golden bracelet in both hands and pulled it out, only to hear the golden narrow door slowly open with a heavy low moan.
Weizi and Dabao, who had already prepared the flashlight, found that there was no need for these lighting equipment inside, because the lights were still bright behind the door, and as soon as the door opened, a bright red carpet was laid on the ground, and a corridor several people wide appeared in front of everyone, and huge lanterns made of gold were erected on both sides of the corridor. There are many vivid murals carved inside the palace walls in the corridor, but we are not in the mood to appreciate them for a while.
Because why the oil lamps here are still lit is the question that has been bothering us since we came in. Weizi dialed the wick of the oil lamp and found that the lamp oil inside was still full, as if it could not be used up, and the lamp was spotless. Dong Bing stepped forward and smelled the smell of lamp oil, his face changed, and he said in a deep voice: "It's human corpse oil." ”
When everyone heard this, their faces couldn't help but change color, and they grabbed the weapons in their hands even tighter. I said solemnly, "Let's find a room first." Everyone take their steps lightly, these oil lamps are perennial, someone must be adding corpse oil to them, maybe they are hiding somewhere and waiting for us, everyone put the trick a little brighter, if there is something wrong, give it a shuttle. ”
After saying these words, Dong Bing and I took the lead in the front station, and Lei Hong and Dina followed the palace. After passing through the hallway, I walked a little further and saw a door next to it. I made a silent gesture, nodded to Dongbing, and tiptoed over, crouched down by the door, pricked up my ears and listened to the silence inside, and then pushed inside with a little force.
The door opened without any resistance, and there was plenty of space inside, a round table made of unknown wood, and several round stools. A large carved wooden bed with red silk faces the door, and the layout looks like a room for entertaining. I motioned for Weizi behind me to follow and walk in.
Before I reached the middle of the room, I suddenly saw a squatting figure squatting on the edge of the bed, and I was so frightened that I almost shot my own person. When they looked closely, everyone was shocked, only to see that the squatting figure was actually a beautiful young woman like a flower, dressed in ancient costumes and combing the hair ornaments of a maid, maintaining a raised face with ruddy beaded lips, revealing eight white pearl-like teeth.
I held my breath vigilantly holding the gun, and seeing that she didn't react at all, I cautiously moved over, reached under her small and straight nose, and couldn't help but exhale, and whispered, "It's dead." ”
After observing for a while, Weizi boldly touched the woman's skin with his hand, his face flushed, and said: "I didn't expect to see a living beauty bowl here, and I kept the skin of the bowl exactly the same as before my death, and the owner here is really willing to pay for it." ”
"You say it's a spittoon for spitting?" I was amazed and said, "Just to spit, you made a flower girl into a spittoon?" It's so sad, it's just a random room, and if there are other rooms as well, how many women are made like this? Is this still a human thing? ”
"Maybe it's not just about making spittoons." Dabao shuddered and poked me in the back with his fingers, pointing to the side of the door, "Look there's another one over there." ”
As he spoke, an equally pretty and beautiful woman posed in a flowery gesture, standing there slim and elegant, her face slightly raised, Shuangmu stared directly at the beams of the room, slightly opened her jade lips, a small scarlet tip of her tongue poked out, and a small wick stood on the tip of her tongue with a bright flame.
"This is a beauty cup, or is it made of real people." Weizi rubbed his hands excitedly and almost rushed over.
Dong Bing and Lei Hong sighed slightly: "It's a pity. ”
Dinah's face turned pale with fright, as if she was also terrified as a woman.
At this moment, Weizi, who was excitedly watching the beauty in front of me, suddenly took a few steps back and hit my chest, I hurriedly looked over, the original woman looked at the eyes of the beam, I don't know when she looked down, a pair of eyes stared straight at us.
PS: Is there a ticket yet? Hurry up and give it to me, if I don't ask for it, you will pinch it in your hand and expire, and you will collect heavenly things.
