How to distinguish between reality and illusion? If the prophecy in this stone chamber and the prophet's stone box are illusions created by corpse incense konjac, when did this illusion begin?

I don't think my brain can handle this kind of complex problem, if only Shirley Yang could help analyze it, and I can't put the fat man's head together than half of hers.

The fat man saw that I was distracted again, so he pushed me: "What's the matter, Lao Hu, why have you always had straight eyes recently?" Are we going to clean up this American girl? ”

I asked the fat man to look at Professor Chen, leaned down and asked Shirley Yang: "You said that your grandfather was also fighting before he went to the United States, and there is no basis for his words, how can I believe you?" ”

Shirley Young stared at me hatefully and said, "Thief, do you believe it or not...... I have my grandfather's relics around my neck, you can see it. ”

"Relic?" Could it be that it is a gold talisman? Sure enough, I saw two necklaces around her neck, and when I reached out and pulled them out, one was a cross, and the other was a gold talisman made of pangolin claws.

This thing is extremely secretive in the world, and not everyone has it among tomb robbers, and most of them have never even seen it. Objects are divided into high and low according to people, the value of the gold talisman itself is not precious, falling on the ground, you may not be too lazy to pick up the tattered, but for the tomb robbers who have been passed down from generation to generation, this is a priceless treasure, it symbolizes a kind of seniority.

I picked up Shirley Yang's gold talisman and looked at it carefully, people have to die more than people, and goods have to be thrown away, compared with her gold talisman, the two that the big gold tooth gave me and the fat man simply can't ask for.

Shirley Yang's touch gold charm at a glance is known to be the antiquities of the Later Han Dynasty, the two seal characters on the charm "touch gold", the strokes are vigorous and simple, full of antiquity, it is made of the sharpest claws of the pangolin, like black crystal as slightly transparent, although the age is long, but there is no trace of wear and tear, the claw root is locked with a circle of gold wire, and the whole body is engraved with the flying tiger stripes to ward off evil spirits.

And the two pieces of me and the fat man are compared with this one, the truth and falsehood are clearly artificially old, and the material selection process cannot be compared. Damn, this grandson of the big gold tooth, fooled us with fakes, I said how it never worked.

I took Shirley Yang's gold talisman in my hand and looked at it for a long time, I was a little in love with it, I was reluctant to put it down, I really didn't want to return her.

Shirley Yang shouted: "Pay me back quickly, if you want to kill me, you just want to make money together?" ”

I hung the gold talisman back on Shirley Yang's neck: "Since your grandfather is also upside down, why do you call us stinky thieves one by one, don't you even scold your grandfather?" There is a reason why I treated you like this. He prophesied the stone painting on the second layer of stone box, told Shirley Yang as it was, and finally said to her: "This qiē may be a death illusion created by the corpse incense konjac, but I can't let you go for the time being until it's confirmed." ”

After Shirley Yang heard this, his face softened slightly: "Then you should think of some way, do you think it is very comfortable to be tied up by you?" I'll give you a taste of it. ”

I stood up and walked back and forth in the room, staring at the stone paintings on the second layer of stone boxes, I really didn't dare to act rashly, if this prophecy was not an illusion, but true, then if I opened the second layer of stone boxes without killing one person, the evil spirit would immediately appear and kill everyone else. I feel that it is more uncomfortable than stepping on a landmine, and it is a big deal to blow myself up if I step on a landmine, whether this prophecy is true or false, it is related to four lives, and it is really difficult to choose.

Professor Chen was crazy, and Shirley Yang was a little suspicious, so I had to discuss it with the fat man. I told him all my reasoning, knowing that he couldn't help much, but I still wanted someone to take the pressure off my shoulders.

After hearing this, the fat man nodded: "Oh, it's like this, I understand, you're worried that we're still in the illusion created by that dog's tail flower, you told me earlier, such a big thing, I'll solve it for you immediately." ”

I wondered, "Can you tell?" This matter is not a child's play, but we can't play around, as soon as we make a mistake, we will lose all the games. ”

The fat man didn't speak, he raised his hand and gave me a slap, he shot quickly, I was defenseless, I was hit squarely, and my face hurt hotly.

I was about to have a seizure, but I heard the fat man ask, "How's it going?" Does it hurt or not? ”

I rubbed my face: "Damn, my son beat Lao Tzu, it's against you, it still hurts, I slap you, you try to know if it hurts." As soon as I finished speaking, I immediately thought, by the way, if we can feel pain, then we are not in an illusion, it seems that we are not controlled by the corpse incense konjac.

I turned around and wanted to ask Shirley Yang again, but at a glance I saw that the stone paintings on the second layer of the stone box had changed, I hurriedly went over to take a closer look, but saw that the three stone paintings slowly blurred and disappeared, leaving only a small stone box blank, the stone box had a lid on it, and it was sealed with cowhide lacquer, in order to preserve the valuables inside for a long time.

Looking at the first layer of stone boxes, there is no change at all, all of them are prophetic prophecies, and in the end, there are still stone paintings with four people opening the first layer of stone boxes.

What's going on? Is there truth and falsehood? I pulled the fat man over and showed him what was on the second layer of stone boxes, and the fat man said, "Isn't it still the three stone paintings?"

I raised my hand and gave him a slap: "Look at it again, are there any stone paintings?" ”

The fat man covered his face and said, "Hey...... This...... Not anymore, fuck, fucking hell, I'll see what the fuck is here. With that, he stretched out his hand and pulled the second stone box open.

I exclaimed, "Your hands are too fast, let you take a look, and don't let you do anything else." However, after the second layer of stone boxes was opened, nothing happened, and the four of them were all in good shape, and nothing happened to the evil spirits to kill people.

Based on my experience, I guess that we were indeed controlled by the corpse incense konjac just now, and the power of this magic flower is far beyond our estimates, and it is not only able to create illusions on the stone beams of the ghost cave.

When I tried to rush over the stone beam to rescue Sadipeng, I fell into its hallucinatory trap, and then Fat Man and Shirley Young rescued me. At that time, I looked back, and the petals of the corpse incense konjac, which had been closed together, were all open, facing us.

Since then, the scope of the hallucinations of the corpse incense konjac has expanded, after our searchlight was extinguished, there were a lot of black snakes, judging by the situation at the time, there were five of us, two of them could not move, under the siege of the snakes, no one was bitten by the snakes, this is really a miracle, now it seems that those snakes should be false illusions.

The corpse incense konjac created the illusion of so many black snake attacks, trying to force us into the cracks of the mountain and bury ourselves alive in it, but we didn't expect that we would escape farther and farther away in the cracks, and inadvertently escape into the tomb of the prophet.

Although this stone demon flower is powerful, its scope is limited after all, and it is too far away from us to create too powerful illusions, so it changes the simplest stone painting and tempts us to kill each other.

And the terrible thing about the corpse incense konjac is that it is by no means an illusion created by the five senses of the guò people, as long as you look at it and remember its bewitching color, within a certain distance, you will be confused by it, but the farther the distance, the less powerful this illusion is.

Even if one or two survived in the end, they would have a nervous breakdown because they killed their own companions with their own hands, and then the secret of the Absolute Queen would never be known. What a fucking viciousness!

By this time the fat man had taken out the contents of the second stone box, an ancient book made of sheepskin, and I guess the revelations of the prophets and the secrets of the lost ancient kingdoms and ghost caves were all in this book.

I was about to see what was in the parchment, but I remembered that Shirley Young was still tied to the ground, so I put the parchment down to untie her. Although it was strange that she had repeatedly dreamed of the ghost cave in her dreams, she should not be possessed by evil spirits, or the reincarnation of the monster queen, so it was a bit too much to treat her like this.

Shirley Yang was tied to the ground, her face rubbed a lot of dust, and her tears were almost like the big flower face of singing Peking Opera. When she saw me approaching, she said angrily, "Dead old man, untie me quickly." ”

I told her what had happened, gritted my teeth, slapped Shirley Young, and untied the belt that bound her hands.

I said, "I can't help it, so I made this decision, you just hit me back, just hit me a few times." After saying that, he turned his head sideways, waiting for Shirley Young to slap me. I'm ready, and I guess she won't give up without knocking out my two front teeth.

Unexpectedly, Shirley Yang wiped the dust on his face, but he didn't hit me, only said: "I don't want to worry about you now, this account will be calculated later, it's important to find a way to get out first." ”

Shirley Yang took out a small box in his carrying pouch, which contained a small pill, opened it, sucked it in front of his nose, and handed me two more tablets, so that the fat man and I could smell them separately.

Shirley Yang said: "This is a high-concentration refined alcohol stink, strong odor, can stimulate the anterior lobe of the brain nerve through the nasal mucosa, keep people's minds clear, can be used to assist in drug rehabilitation, anti-addiction." Foreign explorers will bring a few pills when they go to the wild, just in case, at the limit of hunger and fatigue, they can stimulate the cranial nerves and not become comatose, but they should not be used more in a short period of time, otherwise there will be strong side effects, as for the hallucination of the magic flower, it is unknown. ”

I think that the corpse incense konjac is to make people hallucinate through the five senses, and these hallucinations come from the brain center, and this stimulating drug of Shirley Yang should play a role in restraining the hallucination.

I gave the fat man a pill, opened it myself, and immediately inhaled it to my nostrils, and a strange and unpleasant smell rushed into my nostrils, choking and coughing, but then I felt that my originally heavy mind was much lighter and very comfortable.

I said, "There is such a good thing, why don't you take it out and use it earlier, give us a few grains on the stone beam, and uproot that demon flower a long time ago, so that it will not be buried here now, and we are in a dilemma." ”

Shirley Yang said: "At that time, you ran back from the stone beam and told the reason, we knew that the corpse incense konjac would make the people on the stone beam hallucinate, and then they were attacked by countless black snakes, but in just a few minutes, we didn't know that those snakes were also illusions created by magic flowers." In addition, I don't think the corpse incense konjac will be so simple, it has a magic power that goes straight to people's hearts, if it is too close, I don't think this medicine will have much effect. ”

Of the five people who entered the tomb of the first saint, only Chen Ye and the two were delirious, one was stimulated, and the other was unconscious, now Ye Yixin is dead, Professor Chen is crazy, he will not be confused by the corpse incense konjac. His appearance reminds us of the previous British expedition that had entered the ruins of the ancient city, the only survivor of that expedition was a madman, and he must have been overstimulated by the cannibalism of his companions.

Professor Chen, on the other hand, was in a mood that fluctuated greatly in one day, first saddened by the death of his assistant Hao Aiguo, and then found one surprise after another in the exquisite ruins, and suddenly saw the tragic death of his own two students, such a great joy and sorrow had a great impact on people's nerves, not to mention that he was old, and finally had a nervous breakdown and went completely crazy.

Thinking of this, I nodded with a heavy expression, and said to Shirley Yang: "That dead man flower is really good, fortunately, we are close and united, so that we will not fall into its divisive plan, and there will be no tragedy of cannibalism, now that I think about it, I am really afraid, but in the end, the saint blessed, and it did not make a big mistake." ”

Shirley Yang suddenly sank his face and said: "Hu Bayi, you are too treacherous, you have pushed your own faults to the ground, you know how much I trust you, you not only lied to me, did not tell me the truth, but also suspected that I was ...... What kind of youkai is it, have you ever wondered how I feel? Do you know what it's like to be tied up like an animal by you two scoundrels, waiting for you to interrogate and slaughter? ”

I covered my head and said, "Oh, it's not good, my head hurts again, I have to sit down and rest for a while, fat man, you quickly take the parchment booklet of the first saint and show it to Miss Yang, is there any good way to get out of trouble." After speaking, he took the opportunity to sneak next to Professor Chen, not daring to talk to Shirley Yang again.

Fortunately, Shirley Yang is not the kind of woman who is unforgiving after all, and when she saw me slipping away, she stopped pursuing it, and picked up the parchment book of the first saint and read it page by page.

I secretly complained, with her personality, she must spare me in the future. Today's thing is absolutely done, so many people have died, the hard-earned money of me and the fat man is in the soup again, his grandmother's, why is my old Hu so miserable, drinking cold water and stuffing my teeth.

I wondered what was in that book, and seeing Shirley Young's solemn expression, I couldn't tell whether it was joy or sorrow, since the first saint could foresee that we would come to his tomb and open the stone box, then he must have left us something, so what was it? I couldn't hold back any longer, and asked aloud: "What is the content of the children's first saints?" ”

Shirley Yang held the parchment book in his hand and said while reading: "They are all drawings painted by the ancestors, and there seems to be a lot of content about ghost caves. ”

I don't want to go back to any ghost cave in my life, the most important thing is whether there is a way out, but it's not good to urge Shirley Yang, so I can only listen to her with my temperament.

Shirley Young said: "You have to look at it from the beginning to figure out the ins and outs, otherwise the final picture may not be able to be interpreted." The beginning of this part is to say that there is a sacred mountain in the ancient Western Regions, which is where we are now located in Zagrama Mountain, this mountain is surrounded by dense rivers, many animals and plants, and there are four tribes living here......"

I glanced at the fat man, thinking that this American girl still has to start from the beginning, it is really anxious, the two of us are anxious, and we want to know how to get out of this narrow and oppressive tomb, but we dare not speak, you look at me, I look at you, and I am so anxious that we are restless.

Shirley Young continued: "The good times don't last long, people have found a bottomless cave in the Zagrama Mountains, no one can go down to the bottom of the cave, and everyone wants to find out what kind of world is in the cave. One of the four tribes was a high priest who ordered a jade eyeball to be made, hoping to see whether the bottomless pit was auspicious or evil through the power of the true god. With a large-scale festival, instead of seeing what lies beneath the bottomless pit, disaster begins to strike. First of all, the high priest was blinded and died; Then a strange snake that threatened the safety of humans and animals appeared nearby, there were many of them, they all had a strange eye on their heads, and they were violent, killing countless people and animals. The four tribes elected two saints who were favored by the true gods, and with the warriors of the tribes, killed the female snake, a monster with a human head and limbs, which hatched eyeball-like eggs, each egg could produce hundreds of strange snakes, and if left to reproduce, the consequences would be unimaginable. ”

When the fat man and I heard this, we were all surprised: "Good girl, there was really such a strange snake with a human head in ancient times, fortunately we didn't encounter it, otherwise it would be really difficult to deal with." ”

Shirley Yang said: "Presumably the first saint to eliminate the snake is indeed a thing, but the snake beast with the human head and snake body may not really exist, ancient people usually will carry out excessive deification of important events, just like the war between the Yan Emperor and the Yellow Emperor and Chiyou in China, maybe it is just a fight between hundreds of tribes, but in the ancient records, it is depicted as a magnificent super war, and even the gods and beasts have joined in." ”

I gave a thumbs up and praised: "Sure enough, it's a high opinion, I don't know what will happen next?" Can you decompose it as much as possible? ”

Shirley gave me a blank look, and then said, "The snake beasts were swept away, and the ancestors threw the corpses of the snakes into the bottomless pit under the Zagrama Mountain. The sage learned through the myth that this cave was a cave of calamity, and that the jade eyeball had opened the door to calamity. After this, one of the tribes gave birth to a prophet, the prophetic child. Well...... Then there is the prophet's prophecy of the future of Mount Zagrama, where the prophets of the tribe were buried after their deaths, and the prophets were able to prophesy events thousands of years later, but their scope was limited to the vicinity of the Zagrama mountains, probably due to the fact that the ancestors of the tribe who were regarded as gods were buried here, and the powers of the prophets were given by the two saints and the true gods. ”

Finally to the point, I listened carefully to Shirley Young's words, whether I could get out of this hellish place, it depended on how the prophet prophesied. The answer to life and death was about to be revealed, and my heart beat a little faster.

Shirley Yang said: "Don't be so nervous, I flipped through it just now, and there seems to be a revelation behind that can let us leave Zagrama, but we need to refer to the previous content, don't worry, let's do it step by step." ”

Just when he was engrossed, he suddenly saw Professor Chen glaring at the ancient parchment book in Shirley Yang's hand and said, "Don't look at the content behind!" ”
