Chapter 109: Strange Flames
We didn't have time to get up on the ground, and we all turned our heads to look behind us,
The football-sized fireball did not immediately extinguish when it came up from the hole in the ground, but continued to rise upward, and disappeared suddenly when it was close to the dome of the stone chamber.
Lu Dachuan, who was still pressed under me, turned his head to look at the raging flames: "I'm X, I look at nothing below, this is what is on fire." ”
"You're embarrassed to say that if you react a little slower, I'll become a roast suckling pig." I got up from them with trepidation, and looked cautiously at the hole in the ground.
"What's the situation?" Lu Dachuan asked in a low voice as he crawled forward, as if a flame would come out when he spoke loudly,
I looked at the faint light coming out of the entrance of the cave, and it was on fire as if it was the piece of clothing that Lu Dachuan threw down, and I couldn't see anything else on fire at all, so I said, "I can't see anything, it seems that the dress you threw is there." ”
When they got up, they all gathered around them.
"It's weird, there's nothing else lit, where did such a big fire come from?"
"Then who knows, I have to go down and have a look."
Lu Dachuan thought that I was going to step down again, so he pulled me and said, "I'm not in a hurry at this time, I'll talk about it later." So saying, he sat down first,
The open space where the entrance of the cave is located is not very spacious, Lu Dachuan himself is big, and he has a bag on his back, which almost takes up half of it after sitting down, and the rest of us can only sit down on the grave, just standing beside him like a few bodyguards,
In that case, waiting is not a pleasant thing, let alone standing in the middle of a pile of graves, so it didn't take long for a while, and seeing that there was no fire coming out, I urged Lu Dachuan to go down and find out.
The flame burning in the clothes below was not extinguished, proving that there was no problem with the air, and Lu Dachuan seemed to feel that it was pointless to wait any longer, so he stood up and said, "Okay, get the towel wet and wrap it on your head." ”
Judging by the intensity of the flames, the top wet towel was not so much to protect the hair and eyebrows as to seek some psychological comfort for ourselves, and we did it anyway.
The staircase on the lower floor is the same as the one above, and it is also carved into a large stone strip, and from the hole above it is obliquely placed on the ground below.
Because we couldn't figure out where the sudden flame came from, we just stepped on the stone steps in order to be able to retreat in time in case of emergencies, walking very slowly and carefully, and when the body was completely out of the hole wall on the "floor" several meters thick, after stepping on the stone bar, we saw that the clothes that had been poured fuel on the stove were still there, and there was really nothing around to ignite, so we went down as fast as we could, so as not to suddenly burst out of a fire again, and the clothes on our bodies were not even able to roll on the steps.
Fortunately, our worries were unnecessary, and there were no accidents in the time when we walked down the stairs, but it also made us more curious about where the fire came from.
As soon as our feet stepped on the ground, we didn't care about saving power, and the few people who didn't turn on the flashlights all turned on the flashlights, and quickly looked at the situation in the stone room below.
First of all, it is completely different from the above that the stone chamber below is square, and there is nothing in it as Lu Dachuan saw, but in the center of the stone chamber there is a thick stone pillar standing abruptly.
It is said that it is not uncommon for the pyramid to appear in the pillars, which are all parts of ancient and modern Chinese and foreign buildings, but what is going on like this one, we are all deeply curious, although everyone's flashlight shines in different places, but the footsteps are invariably walking towards the pillars.
When I walked around the pillar, I circled around the pillar and looked up and down, and saw that this was a pillar made of the same stone as the pyramid, the thickness was as thick as three people hugging each other, there was no pedestal at the top and bottom, it was directly embedded in the stone wall of the dome and the ground, and the surface of the pillar was smooth as a mirror, not only did it not have any carving, but it also shone with black oil as if someone was wiping it every day.
Originally, a flame that didn't know where it came from was enough to make us curious, but now there is such an absolutely inexplicable stone pillar, and I can't find a clue at all.
"Can you see anything?" I turned my face to ask Lu Dachuan, who was still staring at the stone pillar with a solemn expression, asked,
Lu Dachuan shook his head silently at first, and after a few seconds, he turned his face to stare at me and said, "Isn't it your strong point to observe things." ”
"It's my forte, but I really don't see what this strange pillar is so famous about." I said helplessly,
"Then forget about it for now, see what's on the wall."
As I came down and was attracted by the pillar in the center of the stone chamber, I only noticed that the stone chamber below had four walls, and as for what was really not visible on the walls, I said, "All right." ”
Because the five people were tied to a rope like a prisoner in the past, Lu Dachuan said to go to see the wall and walk towards the wall at the back of the stairs, we were pulled by the rope, and followed to the wall,
Before I could reach it, in the light of five bright flashlights, I saw a painting as big as the wall on the wide wall, depicting a wavy body of water that occupied two-thirds of the picture five or six meters high, and the upper third of the part painted a sky with a few clouds floating in the sky.
It's such a simple painting, after seeing it, my heart is extremely nervous, because I can't see what kind of paint is used to paint the picture on the stone wall, whether it is water, sky and clouds, it is not the color they should have, but somehow I feel like a real water and sky, my ears seem to hear the sound of the rolling water, and the body skin also seems to feel the breath of a gust of wind, and the more I walk forward, this feeling is strong, so that I am still several meters away from the wall, I stopped unconsciously, because I felt that if I went any further, I would be swept away by the rolling waves.
It's just a painting, why does it feel like this,
stared at it in a daze for a long time, and then this question flashed in my mind, and when I looked around, Lu Dachuan, Lu Keqin, Lin Xian'er, and Liu Changleg also stood on their feet, looking at the picture on the wall with a complicated expression,
"You feel it, too."
When I said this, they turned their faces to look at each other as if they were waking up from a dream.
"It's not that simple here." Lu Dachuan said, "Let's go, let's see what's on the other walls." ”
Following Lu Dachuan's footsteps, we walked to the wall on the left side of the stairs, the situation is still like this, a painting makes us stop, and we feel that forcibly moving forward is to commit suicide by jumping into the river,
Turning the corner of the wall and walking to the other side of the stairs, the scene on the wall is still the same, this time I only glanced at it and I didn't want to look at it a second time, because I stared at the first two walls for too long, I felt a little dizzy and dizzy, and I had to vomit if I looked at it again.
"Let's go, don't look at it." I turned my face to the side and pulled the rope to urge, Lu Dachuan still looked at it for a long time before he walked forward, watching him walk towards the last wall on the right side of the stairs that we hadn't seen, I stopped and said, "You still have to look." ”
Lu Dachuan didn't look back, and pulled the rope: "What are you talking about, go quickly." ”
Lu Keqin sensed that I was not in the right state, walked a few steps quickly, grabbed my arm with both hands and asked, "What's wrong." ”
I stayed on the boat for so long and never fainted, and after looking at the water in the painting for a while, I fainted, and I was afraid of being ridiculed by them, so I resisted the uncomfortable feeling of dizziness and said, "It's okay, I just don't want to see it." ”
Lu Dachuan, who was in front of me, walked forward, and from time to time turned his face to glance at the picture on the wall we passed by, and whispered to himself, impossible...... Something like that,
I looked at him and estimated that he should have thought of something, but he didn't ask much when he was too busy to take care of himself, anyway, when he figured out what to say, he would naturally say,
At this time, Lin Xian'er behind me spoke, and she said, "Dachuan, do you feel that something is missing from the pillars and paintings on the walls here. ”
Lu Dachuan turned around and said, "You can also see it, I'm figuring out this, but I can't figure it out." ”
"Something missing." I was just about to ask, but before the words could be spoken, Lu Keqin and Liu Changleg asked at the same time,
"Dragon." Lu Dachuan and Lin Xian'er also replied at the same time,
"I'm dizzy, you've rehearsed, it's so ......" I suddenly sensed it, and my head stopped dizzy, "What do you say?" ”
"I'll just say it, you kid can talk nonsense at any critical time."
"Not that."
"I said dragon." Lu Dachuan's voice suddenly became higher, "Where are you kid's mind, haven't you found that if there is a dragon on that pillar and in the painting on the wall, it will be complete." ”
I quickly turned around and looked at the sleek stone pillar and the mural with waves and auspicious clouds, and imagined a dragon coiling on the pillar and flying among the waves: "Yes, but why is there no dragon?" ”
Lu Dachuan asked me very seriously at this time: "I'm going to say that it flew down from above, do you believe it?" ”
"You're saying the fire was spat out by the dragon." I felt a cold sweat break out all at once,
"I don't think it's possible, but I really can't think of anything else."
"If that's the case, then where does the dragon go?"
"I want to know, too." Saying that, Lu Dachuan stepped forward again,
What will be in the last wall we don't see, or what will be in the last corner of the stone room that we don't see,
As I walked along, I felt a stronger sense of anticipation......
