61. Who are you?
"Why don't you keep up?" Out of reach of my flashlight, I heard Nie Cai's voice.
I ran over from the trance, this place is a high platform hall, above the high platform is a platform, in the middle of the platform stands a bronze platform, the platform is the size of a table tennis table, surrounded by a bronze sculpture of the dragon foil, but in the middle of the platform is a mirror.
"What's that?" I'm curious how this place can have a mirror.
"Just go and see." Nie Cai walked over there, but halfway through it there was no movement, and I saw him groping around in the dark mid-air. "There's some clear hedron or something like that." He said suddenly.
I hurried up and saw that the place leading from the staircase of the platform to the bronze platform was made of some transparent stone blocks, and the place was so easily separated. And on each side of the entrance to this transparent passage are hanging lights. "How so?" I asked, Nie Cai, I was naturally very puzzled by this arrangement.
Nie Cai took a step into the passage, looking into the transparent wall, and after a long time, he spoke, "This is the passage of the soul. ”
"What do you mean?" I turned around and moved to Nie Cai's side to look between the transparent stones, although the stone wall in this passage was as smooth as a mirror, but there were various edges and corners protruding, reflecting all sides of people, and the change of my facial expression was in the gap between the edges and planes in the mirror, and the corners of my mouth and eyes were stretched like a ghost.
I stared at the reflective wall, and saw several of my figures illuminated, I childishly counted a total of eleven, and my heart was horrified, including the body, isn't it the three souls, seven spirits, and eleven shadows? Chinese Taoism says about the human soul. The human spirit can be called the soul, and its soul has three, one is the heavenly soul. The second is the soul of the earth, and the third is the soul of life. There are seven spirits, one is the sky, two are wise, three are the air, and the four are the strength. Five spirits are the center, six spirits are essence, and seven spirits are heroic. It is impossible for a normal person to be missing one of them, but I looked at the reflection on the wall, and I immediately thought of these bad feelings in my heart.
Nie Cai used a lighter to light the lights on both sides of the passage, and handed me a lighter, I looked at the lighter in his hand and thought yes! He's got a lighter! So is it possible that he doesn't have a flashlight? "What are you thinking? Don't think about it! Don't use a flashlight to shine on these reflective stones in the dark, because if you look at the darkness for a long time, you will not be used to this kind of light. At that time, the head will be dizzy. Nie Cai interrupted my thoughts.
I took the lamp, and scratched the bronze skull a little confused, "Why do you need a lamp?" ”
"This is a kind of ritual, I have seen in ancient books that there is a kind of ritual called the sacrificial vessel, the stones on both sides are sealed with your soul, the lamp in your hand is your life lamp, you must look at the lamp and the stone when you worship, if your soul is missing or the lamp is extinguished, you must quickly retreat."
"This is something there?" I pursed my lips and asked, "Are you referring to the mirror?" ”
"The words of this rumor! I don't know when it started, but during the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao's tomb robbery team did use such a method, and he had to use this method to sacrifice his soul before every tomb robbery. Then act by looking at the lights. As for the mirror, if my guess is correct, it should be an artifact? ”
"Artifact?" When Nima heard this, I laughed, "What do you think about playing online games?" ”
"Online games? What's that? Nie Cai's face was confused, but listening to my playful laughter, he still knew why I was laughing. He took the flashlight from my hand and looked at it in the mirror not far away.
It was a very ordinary mirror, at first glance, it almost seemed that it was a broken stone, the mirror was surrounded by dragon and phoenix stone patterns, and there was a small stone statue with only limbs and a head on the edge of both sides, the stone statue was carved very cleverly, and the belly part in the middle was hollowed out, so the gap between the connections must be very small.
"Just that thing?" I asked to make sure the guy wasn't joking.
"The mirrors of the pre-Qin period were basically bronze, right? However, this thing is a proof of stone, and the age of this thing must have been before the appearance of bronze, and that time was the mythical age of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors. What is it if it is not an artifact? ”
What nonsense, I muttered to myself, and walked with him through this passage with the lamp, and after walking a few steps, I found that the feeling of walking in this place was very strange, and the stone expanded a little bit of light infinitely, making it brightly lit for a while, compared to the darkness outside, it was like a tunnel under the sea.
Not long after I walked out, the bricks on the ground were gone. Instead, iron rods were inserted across the tunnel, and below the mattress rods appeared to be a ditch.
Curiosity drove me to look down, but I couldn't see anything clearly in the dark patch, so I had to put the flashlight through the gap between the iron rods to take a look, which immediately made me gasp, if I followed the passage in this way, there were nearly a hundred dead bodies in this ditch, this was clearly a burial canal, and the number was extremely large. The space in the funeral canal is much larger than the soul path, and the corpses used for human martyrdom fill half of the channel horizontally and vertically, and all of them are deliberately fiddled into a posture of pain and wailing, which is simply the Nai River Bridge in hell.
Probably because the air in the canal is circulating. The corpse qi was not very thick, only a small amount of disgusting corpse qi wafted up and down the passage. Most of the corpses of those people have rotted into white bones, and some flesh hangs on them, the identity of these people is obviously not as good as the previous people's martyrdom, it seems that they are either slaves or prisoners of war, and the slaves who were buried in a noble tomb in Anyang are three or four hundred, this tomb is obviously not as good as that, but it is enough for a small country.
After looking at it for a while, he felt that there was not much danger in this ditch, so he hurried forward, and Nie Cai, who had walked about a third of the way, suddenly stopped and retreated, but it was too late. I only heard a broken sound, a ringing arrow flew out of the broken marble wall, the speed greatly exceeded the previous activation, the ringing arrow flew past Nie Cai and fell into the funeral ditch, I couldn't know whether Nie Cai was hit by an arrow behind Nie Cai, but between the lightning and flint, I saw a trace of blood splashing out. I stood behind Nie Cai and knew that the arrow was fired at Nie Cai's body armor. Regardless of the cold sweat on his body, he turned his feet in front of Nie Cai.
Suddenly, we saw a trace of blood splashing out of his right hand, and our hearts trembled when we saw it, this kind of feather arrow shot by a mechanism launched without warning was more terrifying than any trap, and the arrow only grazed Nie Cai's right hand slightly. But it just brought out a large pool of blood.
I pulled Nie Cai back a few steps for fear of triggering the trap again, and bandaged the wound. I went up to see what activated the launch of the feather arrow, and carefully touched the wall with my hand, but strangely there was no device that could trigger the feather arrow, and it was smooth and even frictionless except for the place where the feather arrow was fired. Looking at Nie Cai again, fortunately, the bleeding has stopped.
At the same time, I also found a small needle on Nie Cai's clothes, which seemed to have pierced into the flesh, and I only heard Nie Cai snort with a hard push, and the needle actually brought out a trace of flesh from the clothes. There was still a little bit of blood oozing on it, and it was obvious that the crochet needle had been inserted into Nie Cai's hand.
I thought to myself, isn't this a crochet needle for a hooked arrow? This crochet needle can only be found on the 100-legged hook arrow in the tomb, this kind of arrow is so large that it is no different from the usual feather arrow, but next to the sharp arrow of this hook arrow is created hundreds of small needles, this needle is shorter than the main arrow, but the root is thin and short with a hook head, these crochet needles are shot into the human body with the main arrow. The hook head quickly hooks the flesh in the body, and if the arrow is pulled out, the hook head will carry a large amount of flesh with it. The level of pain can be imagined.
Most of these hook arrows are hidden in the Dragon Tower Hades Temple in the ancient tomb, most of them are the last killing machine in the tomb, and they are usually the most ruthless means, but this kind of arrow does not have much effect if there are no ten thousand arrows when triggered.
"No, it won't! At that time, the mechanism technique was not enough to activate without leaving a trace. "I didn't give up and shone my flashlight through the small holes shot by the hooked arrows, but there was nothing but some gravel in the rock formations. If we can't find even the most ordinary organs, this place will be in great danger for us.
But after a while, I saw Nie Cai standing up, and I hurriedly went to help him and asked him if we should go back and act again. "I'm fine!" Nie Cai waved his hand: "But thanks to you, I seem to understand something." ”
"What?" Nie Cai's words made me a little overwhelmed. I saw him take out the flashlight and shine it on the side of the passage, and soon those reflections illuminated the place crystal clear, and the light continued to reflect on the wall. Suddenly, I saw a bright light emerge from the void space, and I suddenly realized that the traps touched by these leads had light-blocking pigments on the lines. This is the blood of an animal, which is colorless and transparent, and has the effect of protecting from light. But deeper than the line will not stand the washing of time, as long as the light from the wall is from a near-vertical angle to the horizontal line. In this way, the whole body is coated with blood, and there will always be some places where the blood is obliquely painted or where the blood is light.
I just wanted to cross the line, but I saw Nie Cai walking over with the light and holding my hand, "Go on, let me go ahead!" ”
I nodded, it's a good thing that someone wants to block it for me anyway, but when Nie Cai pressed me with his hand, I was stunned, because I saw that Nie Cai's thumb didn't have that transparent chip at all.
My brain exploded as soon as it was buzzing, he was not Nie Cai, this person was not from Pangu, who was this person? Suddenly thinking back to the previous picture, everything about this man seems to be too sophisticated and mature, and he was still smoking when I first saw him, where did his cigarettes come from? And the conversation just now, this person doesn't seem to even know what an online game is.
I followed him and looked at this person's back, and found more and more suspicious places, this person is definitely not Nie Cai, who is this person? Why are you pretending to be Nie Cai and following me?
At the same time we had walked to the bronze table, and the man had already picked up the stone mirror, and I turned my face to see that in the mirror was the face of another person. (To be continued......)
