Chapter 36 Make bold assumptions and verify carefully
I was scared enough, I didn't listen to what Boss Wang said, I had to close my eyes and take a deep breath before I could continue to think. Boss Wang asked again, and I reacted, and said in a dumb voice: "I'm not sure what I saw, it's impossible." ”
The face of the corpse has been trapped in the corpse cocoon for thousands of years, although it is isolated from the outside air, but the water inside is still emitted to the outside of the body, so the whole face is slightly shrunk inward, and it is attached to the skull, which looks a little hideous, but on the whole, it is relatively well preserved, and because of this, I immediately realized that this face is exactly the same as the old itch!
The eyes, the nose, all of them are extremely similar, the most weird, the hemorrhoids on his face and the scars left by the fight when he was a child are there, this corpse, as if the old itch has been magnified and curled up in the amber corpse cocoon, makes people's scalp numb, covered in cold sweat, and I don't know what I am afraid of.
I rubbed my eyes, slapped myself a few times, sobered up for a moment, then leaned over to take a look, immediately closed my eyes and retreated, gritted my teeth and scolded, yes, it was his face, it was impossible to be wrong.
I couldn't help but cry out in my heart, what the hell is going on in this hellish place, this kind of thing can only happen in the lame novels of the gods, and in the real society, no matter how you explain it, it can't be explained.
Boss Wang looked at my face very badly, handed me a cigarette, and said, "This--really hit the ghost, could your friend be the offspring of this kind of giant?" Maybe they have a smaller number of races. So the physiognomy is very similar.
I shook my head, "No, the problem is not here, I have grown up with him, and I am an antique, I am very sensitive to details, this corpse is too similar to him, the location of hemorrhoids, and scars, these things will not be inherited, this corpse is simply a copy of him, there must be something wrong with this, and it is artificial, Boss Wang, I feel that we are being calculated, what kind of corpse cocoon must be fake, I will smash him open to see!" ”
Boss Wang hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Hou Shengzi, calm down." I thought so just now, but if you look around, if you calculate us, this battle will be too big, although my fat guy is a little wealthy, but I don't have the qualifications to tease people like this, I'm afraid this thing is not like that. ”
I looked around and knew that he was right, I was in a daze just now, so I had to nod, and then I remembered that when I was in the palace of King Lu, the illusion was also very real. I could barely tell the difference, and my heart said that I should have been tricked again, and hurriedly asked him: "Boss Wang, you are also in a line, have you ever encountered something similar before, or will there be some kind of corpse cocoon, what kind of demon xìng, can make people hallucinate?" ”
Boss Wang shook his head: "Although the corpse cocoon is a relatively evil thing, it is a dead thing. It's not extremely unusual, I haven't encountered anything so outrageous since I switched hands, and if you're going to hallucinate, I only have a few things to do with your friend. I don't think I can see it like that. ”
That's true, I nodded in agreement, because the characteristics of the old itch's face, only I understand the most thoroughly, hallucinations use the information of the human brain to work, what Boss Wang thinks in his heart is very different from me, it stands to reason that even if he is hit, he should see a completely different scene.
No, could it be that even Boss Wang is an illusion produced by an illusion?
No, I chuckled in my heart.
But speaking of which, I always feel that he is a bit like a fat man, is it an illusion that created the image of Boss Wang with the memory of a fat man in my brain?
The more I think about it, the more wrong it becomes, Zhang Bald speaks Cantonese, and he is also a little fat, adding the two of them together, isn't it Boss Wang? The temper and tone are indeed a little similar.
I turned my head and stared at him for a while, and suddenly, I realized that something was wrong, the cigarette he gave me, even if I wanted to imagine it, I couldn't imagine what my brain didn't have.
In that case, Boss Wang is not a real person, and I am relieved.
Boss Wang saw that I didn't speak, and he didn't know that I had reasoned that he was "not a person" just now, and then he came back in a mess, took out a tape measure, measured the size of the amber, and said to me: "Hou Shengzi, since it happened, there will definitely be an explanation, we might as well think about it from the beginning and see if there is anything we know that we don't know from each other." ”
Boss Wang is a person in the rivers and lakes, he is more practical, and he does things completely in his own order, and he is not panicked at this time, I think what he said is right, so he nodded, and first told him how he met the old itch and how he came here.
Boss Wang nodded when he heard this, and said thoughtfully: "Listening to you, your friend is not a fuel-efficient lamp." ”
I said that I couldn't figure him out, and I asked Boss Wang why they came to this place at that time? “
Boss Wang sat down, lit the cigarette for me, took out one himself, and said: "The process is similar to yours, we are entrusted by others, but we came all the way smoothly, until we met you, and then things began to happen, I think your local friend must have a little problem." ”
I saw that after he put my words out, I wanted to go around and not say anything, and I couldn't help but feel unhappy, but at this time, I had to continue his words and ask him, "What do you say?" ”
Boss Wang thought for a while and said, "In order, a few strange things, let's sort them out first, and then think about it slowly, you see if what I said is right." ”
I nodded.
"First," he said, "why are there such big fish in the mine? The food structure here, the water temperature, is completely unsuitable for the survival of this fish, how did they grow to such a large size?
Second, why is there an intermittent fountain in the underground river, we are in the mountain, and even if there is a hot spring, the temperature should not be so high, and this is not a volcanic area.
Third, we have come all the way to such a dangerous place, how did your friend come out back then? This tree is so high, did he come up alone? Why didn't he touch the cup worm the time he climbed up? But you did?
Fourth, the most outrageous, the corpse in the amber used for the alchemy of ethnic minorities thousands of years ago. Isn't it a living hell to be exactly like a tomb robber a thousand years later? ”
I nodded and agreed, I can barely explain the first few questions with my common sense, but the last question is really strangely too big, and I am afraid that anyone will not be able to carry it.
Boss Wang looked at the top of his head. Said: "Another thing is also very strange, I listened to your description, you seem to be here for money, but your friend came up once, and knew that there was nothing here, and the amber corpse cocoon was such a big thing, and you two couldn't move it, so he did everything possible to lure you here, what did he want to do?" ”
I had been muttering like this in my heart for a long time, but when I heard him talk about it, I remembered something again, and asked him: "Don't care about this first, Boss Wang, what is the purpose of your coming here, I look at you, it seems that you don't know what is on it?" ”
Boss Wang's expression changed, and he said: "Yes, Li Pipa has never said it, he only said to us, come here, we want everything, he likes to play mysticism." often prevaricates us like this. ”
"Wait a minute, what did he say?" When I heard this, I suddenly had a flash of inspiration, as if I had thought of something.
Boss Wang was stunned for a moment and repeated, "He said, as long as you come here, you can have anything you want." ”
I suddenly came to my senses, slapped my thigh, and shouted, "I see!! ”
Boss Wang startled me and looked at me inexplicably.
I scratched my head excitedly, my mind was spinning quickly, Li Pipa said that he came here, this name said that there was a difference, they all misunderstood his meaning, in fact, the key is the word, that is, the key is not what you can get, but to go to that place first, and when you get to that place, you naturally have the power to make you have what you want!! ”
I took a hard breath to calm myself down, then patted my face, and continued to push, the place he said was only this bronze tree, so, that is to say, on this bronze ancient tree, what power does it have, and people can have whatever they want?
I remembered that Lao Itch wouldn't let me touch the bronze stick, that he gave me the rubber gloves before climbing the tree, and that he said that when I touched the bronze tree, I would become a yīn person, and suddenly my eyes suddenly opened up.
It turns out that this is the case, no wonder, if this is the case, this is indeed a well-deserved great benefit, and no benefit in the world is worth one billionth of this benefit.
I never dreamed that the answer to this matter is so simple, Li Pipa has already summarized it in one sentence, in my heart, the meaning of Li Pipa's words is - as long as you come to this place, your subconscious can affect the surrounding environment, so that your subconscious imagination becomes a real object, that is to say, everything we see now is made by ourselves, this bronze tree is not like this, this cave is not like this, This is not the case with corpses here.
This is the only plausible explanation now, and as long as this is taken as a premise, everything makes sense.
I came all the way, I was on guard against the old itch, and I always thought that the old itch was calculating me, so in my subconscious, the old itch was the final boss and the mastermind of the whole incident, so when I saw the face of the dried corpse in amber, I unconsciously used the image of the old itch, this face is my fear, I am afraid of the betrayal of the old itch, and my subconscious is materialized.
But when did I come across this bronze tree? Didn't I wear gloves all the time? I raised my hands and looked at the inside of my glove, and I couldn't help but exclaim, my glove had carved a hole in the branches of the bronze tree, and I couldn't remember when it broke.
Li Pipa's ancestor must have sensed that after touching the bronze tree, he could have the power of "materialization" like a god, and he must have wanted to get this power to incite these people to come to this place.
Old itch also came once, he also knew the existence of this power, so to speak, now he has that kind of ability, the last time he went out, he must have relied on this power to get out of trouble, and at the same time, it can also be explained, why there are such big carnivorous fish in the mine, when the old itch saw the water in the mine, his subconscious must have thought that there would be monsters attacking people in the water, he was afraid of these, and his power materialized his fear, and as a result, he almost killed the fucking fish.
And when I tried to go back the way I came, another fish appeared in the water and scared me back, which is certainly not a coincidence.
If my analysis is correct, then this is now a world where potential consciousness and reality are intertwined, then what does the original form of the bronze tree actually look like, and what is the scene here?
I told my thoughts to Boss Wang, and after Boss Wang listened, he seemed to suddenly remember something, and said: "According to what you say, just now, when the two of us fell from above, as soon as I landed, I was afraid that you would sneak attack me, so I immediately ran to the center of the fog, at that time, I also saw these bronze chains, but when I passed through the middle of the bronze chains, I didn't fall, the ground is real, but the second time I sneaked up on you, I stepped on the air, and there was already a hole underneath, It's as if the hole came out of nowhere. ”
I nodded, and at that time I did think that there should be a coffin well underneath, and probably because of this, the coffin was created.
The few of us who climbed up had touched the bronze tree, and many things, such as the monkey with the mantis mask, and the hollows in the rock wall, maybe they were all things that we had materialized ourselves, and now at this time, it was impossible to judge whether those really existed, and which ones we had materialized.
This kind of power looks very good at first, but when I think about it carefully, I feel that it is inexplicably terrifying, and people's minds are uncontrollable, for example, if you have this kind of power, you go to watch a horror movie, and after watching it, you may find that the corpse in the horror movie hangs on the ceiling fan behind you and bleeds down, for example, if you walk through the cemetery, maybe...
No, I can't think about these things anymore, I squeezed my hand hard, otherwise something might happen.
Maybe someone with training in psychology will be able to control this power to a certain extent, and so on, no, what kind of subject did the old itch college study? He showed me earrings with hexagonal bells while eating, didn't he?
I suddenly thought of something, turned my head sharply, and stared at Boss Wang.
