Chapter Twenty-Three: Summoning the Demon
I was struck by my own associations, and every Asian has a fear of hell, a fact that is ingrained in the depths of the soul and cannot be changed. I knew that beneath this temple was a huge abyss, without reclamation or cliffs, like a black hole that could never be seen, and the city looming inside was even more terrifying and mysterious.
There could be no living people sitting in that city.
Coming back to his senses, the old egg excitedly put away the jade plate, it seems that there is no way to decipher the content on it for the time being, so he has to wait until he goes out and hand it over to the expert group of Z9 to study.
"After this thing is seen by Z9, it can still be exchanged for money, hehe, let's go! Go to the back and see what else is worth it. The old man smiled brightly, and kept touching the jade board in his bag through the cloth, looking unfinished.
Giving things to the greedy and death-fearing old egg for safekeeping is actually a tacit opinion in everyone's hearts, and only in this way can these things be safely preserved to the end.
Scar is also counting on a sum of money from here to build a house, so he keeps telling the old egg to take good care of it and not to bump it. After speaking, these were ready to open the way forward, I looked at them a little helplessly, and then followed Hou Jun and the lynx into the cold apse, the space behind is only a little larger than the front hall, but the magic is that there are a lot of painted murals on the surrounding stone walls, although some have been exhausted and hardened, and most of them have fallen off, but some of them are still intact.
The characters in the remaining murals are naturally the city god, but the image of the city god in the painting is more specific, dressed in a black robe, without any expression, it is worth caring that the eyes are not drawn in the eye sockets, but replaced by black paint, at first glance, it looks like two black holes there.
There is an inexplicable coldness and calmness.
And one of them is very incomprehensible, there are a large number of characters on it, crying, happy, angry, basically all kinds of expressions, mixed with the middle of the sacrificial crowd there are some people who raise their heads high as if to dedicate themselves to the city god, and the city god seems to be indifferent, watching all this happen.
I secretly analyzed a few points: First, according to the customs and geography of the time, it seems that the theoretical influence of the Yin Cao Difu has not yet covered the southern region, but the appearance of the Yin God of the City God is very abrupt. 2. These sacrificers should be the people of the fallen heads, but who wants to sacrifice their heads? It must be because something big has happened, and the survival of the race is at stake. 3. Chenghuang could not be alone, let alone come here to preach
"Lao Li, come back to your senses, look at what is on the altar at the foot of the city god?" The old man pointed to the mural and said, "Isn't that the spiritual position we are looking for?" ”
As soon as I heard the spiritual position, I instantly woke up, and looked for the position in the painting, a long stone slab stood at the foot of the city god, and when I saw this, I frowned and said: "This is strange, there is no spiritual position on the altar in the front hall." ”
"It's also possible that it's hidden, most of it is still in this temple, I see that there is still a little space in the back, do you want to go in a little bit more?" Hou Jun looked inside and said.
Immediately, everyone walked in again with wolf eyes, and after less than five or six steps, Scar whispered, "Do you feel the wind pouring in?" ”
"I said Scar, you're just making too much fuss." The old egg urged in the back, "This broken temple has not been poured for so long, it is already considered to be of high quality, don't you allow others to break a few holes, there must be a big hole in the back or something, this is poured in, it's normal, don't say it, hurry up!" ”
Pushed by the old egg, he slowly followed them to the tuyere, and opened a hole in the opposite wall, and a large cold wind poured in from there, and the cold man shivered.
"It seems to be naturally damaged, but it is more like the original construction, deliberately excavated and built, you can see that the four sides are very neat." Zhao Anyi pointed to the gap and said, but as her eyes continued to move up, she shouted in surprise, "What's that up there." ”
Looking up, the wolf's eyes were focused on the top, and I saw eight copper chains hanging above the roof, except for one end embedded in the stone wall, the middle end was linked to a square object.
"Could it be the Tibetan Spiritual Position?" Hou Jun said.
The old egg raised his eyes and scanned the surroundings, "No matter how small the mosquito is, it is also meat, maybe there is more than a spiritual position in it?" We're going to figure it out. ”
As I spoke, I looked at the copper chain embedded in the wall and found that it couldn't be moved at all, so it was obvious that there was no mechanism, so what should I do? Then I looked at Hou Jun and said that he had a lot of experience and should have ideas, but he shook his head and showed that he hadn't thought of it yet.
"Damn, I said that you are all so smart in ordinary times, why did you drop the chain at a critical time?" The old man held his bag unhappily and inserted the gun back into the sleeve, "We have so many people piling up a way, come on, under the inspiration of the egg master, the big guy should have some ideas, don't be ashamed, quickly take it out, let's discuss it." ”
Heap?
Suddenly, my eyes lit up, and I hurriedly said: "This thing is not hanging high, let's take a ladder up to the copper chain and climb over." ”
With a relieved expression, Lao Dan patted me on the shoulder and said, "Our Lao Li is really a good comrade, and he thought of a way so quickly, and I also think this method is feasible." ”
Scar and Lynx looked at the copper chain on their heads and the black square object, compared the height, and couldn't help nodding in agreement, but Hou Jun shook his head and said, "In case there are strange insects or something, the space is so small, there is no place to move." ”
He paused for a moment, and then said: "Otherwise, I know a little bit about it, let me go up, and you have the combat power to meet me below, in case there is any danger inside, I will jump directly from above, you remember to catch me!" ”
The old egg hurriedly urged: "Let's go, you just want to try your luck, okay, you go, this time the egg master won't fight with you, if there is anything wrong with it, jump down quickly, it's a big serious injury, it's so easy to die!" ”
I looked at Hou Jun, frowned, didn't say anything, it seems that what he said at this stage is quite reasonable, so I, Lao Dan and Scar decided to be a human ladder and sent Hou Jun to climb up, after everything was ready, Lao Dan pushed Hou Jun's ass and moved it up, shouting: "Dan Ye has suffered a big sin, you must get good things down, so that I don't hurt you in vain." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Hou Jun sensitively stepped on my shoulder on the copper chain, hung upside down and buckled the chain body and began to go to the thing in the middle, every time he climbed a step, the copper chain kept shaking, and the thing in the middle shook with it, and suddenly made a 'bang' impact sound, the sound was like a morning bell in the temple, the sound was far and deep, and every time he hit it, he felt that his body was washed.
At this moment, Hou Jun lay on it and shouted, "Brother Yun, there is something wrong with this thing. ”
Before I could say anything, the old man interjected and shouted, "If there is any problem, it is the big problem to get the contents out quickly." ”
Hou Jun ignored him and shouted bluntly: "I've seen this thing before, it's a musical instrument, and it has a strange name, it's called reed, also called reed." But at the moment, there is something wrong with this one. ”
After finishing speaking, suddenly the copper chain moved by itself, as if an invisible palm slapped on the reel, and the voice suddenly rose and became deafening, and all of our faces suddenly changed, only listening to the outside of the gap, under the abyss, as if hearing countless souls shouting below, as if they were about to rush up.
