Chapter 51: The Door of Life and Death
The walls of the stone room were inlaid with a wall lamp, and I found that the wall lamp could be turned, and I thought that maybe it was the mechanism that opened the exit, so I did not hesitate to hold the body of the wall lamp and twist it.
As a result, the cigarette man, who had been resting against the wall behind me, suddenly jumped up from the ground, pounced on me, and grabbed my hands, and I immediately realized that it was not good, and I seemed to be in trouble.
The smoker didn't have time to stop me, and the wall lamps on the walls were turned around by me. At the same time, there was a rattling sound in the stone room, and I saw that around the stone wall of the flip slab where we entered, a few finger-thick iron bars slipped out like a ghost, and the overturned stone wall was firmly inserted to death, and the stone slab could no longer be flipped and opened from the inside or outside. In other words, if we encounter danger in this stone room, we will no longer be able to escape the way we came.
The cigarette man grabbed my hand and let go weakly, I was very annoyed and scolded in my heart that I was a pig's head, how could I touch such a simple mechanism so lightly. I couldn't help but look at the fat man blankly, he didn't seem to have noticed the stupid thing I had done, he was still sitting on the ground, chewing the pancakes with relish.
Tianyu kept staring at my every move, she watched the whole process in her eyes, the expression on her face was unpredictable, it was as complicated as a dye tray containing various dyes, which was suddenly knocked over, and all kinds of dyes were mixed together, making people feel like their stomachs were being pinched when they looked at it.
The cigarette man tapped me on the shoulder as a gesture of comfort, then walked over to the lamp on the other side of the stone wall. Turn around and look at me. I knew he was asking for my opinion, and it could be seen that the smoke man had already discovered that the wall lamp on the other side could also be rotated, in this stone room. The sconces on the four walls should be able to rotate, but they are all connected to the mechanism. Some can trap us, some may trigger deadly traps such as poison smoke and arrows, and some may open a way out for us.
But I don't have the ability to foresee, and I can't understand the mystery for a while. When I saw the smoke man's inquiring eyes, my brain suddenly fell into a mess, and I could only try to sort out my head a little bit. Otherwise, we might be trapped in this stone chamber and turned into piles of bones.
I patted myself on the face and punched my spirits. I began to weigh the current situation, and the only obvious direction of thought now was whether to turn the wall lamps on other walls. I had a naΓ―ve fantasy just now, thinking that the wall lamp in front of me would be twisted back again. It is used to insert and overturn the iron bolt on the stone slab. It will go back and disappear without leaving a trace.
However, when my hands clenched the wall lamp again, a basin of cold water poured down from my head, and in an instant it extinguished my unrealistic dreams. The sconces on the stone wall in front of me were locked, and there was no way to turn them in any direction, whether it was twisting, pulling, or shaking up and down. The wall lamps were as if they had been welded to death, and they didn't move. Can't turn again.
Now there are three wall lamps in the stone room, and the smoke man is standing near the wall lamp opposite me at this time, I don't know what kind of calculation he based on, choosing the stone wall opposite, maybe it is just a choice based on feeling. At this time, he asked him why, he should not be able to say why, if he was sure of his choice, he should not ask my opinion, but directly turn the wall lamp.
Actually, I didn't want to ask the smoke man why he chose the wall lamp on the opposite wall, I was afraid that his statement would affect my thinking and decision. So I shook my head at the cigarette man, then squatted on the ground with a painful expression, closed my eyes, leaned against the cold stone wall, and forced myself to calm down.
I began to think about the reasons and reasons why Yan Nan chose the opposite stone wall, and the first thing I thought of was the basic "Qimen Dunjia", the mutual growth and restraint of the eight gates. I thought about it in my mind, and first assumed that the wall lamp I had accidentally touched in front of me was a mechanism corresponding to the "Dumen", and this reason for this inference had nothing to do with the direction. In this dim underground chain tomb group, the direction has long been lost in heaven and earth, and it is completely impossible to judge the eight gates from the direction and direction.
But I accidentally touched the mechanism, and the entrance was sealed, so that I benefited from all kinds of evils, and it can be inferred from this that the wall lamp in front of me corresponds to the "Dumen".
Because, "Dumen" is the southeast Xun Palace, belonging to the wood, Xun is the eldest daughter, by the godfather's rush, and Kekun's mother, and the parents are not in harmony, Gu symbolic Du Sai is not good; And because the southeast faces the sea, the sea traffic is inconvenient in ancient times, and the inland and the sea are blocked, which symbolizes its meaning of blockage. "Dumen" is also a small murderer, and it is also Zhongping, so the organ connected to it does not seal the exit, but makes the entrance suffer from it and is sealed by it.
Du Men is relatively the northwest "open door", one open and one Du, the two opposites are unified and mutually opposed, so the smoke man will choose the branch wall lamp on the opposite wall.
Inferring from this theory, first of all, the two doors of "life and death" can be ruled out, and if I mistakenly touch the mechanism connected to the "door of death", the four of us have already been dead for a long time. In the same way, if it was a "Shengmen" institution, I would have left this place a long time ago.
Therefore, the two are excluded, and then there are two doors corresponding to each other, "Sadness" and "Rest".
The "Xiumen" main recuperation, and the "Jingmen" main growth, both of which are auspicious and peaceful, are both images of survival, so they can also be excluded.
The "wounded door" is the main torture injury, and the "shocking door" is the main killing, both of which are murderous doors, and both are unfavorable doors. "Frightened door" also has the meaning of panic ambush, so the stone wall mechanism that I have touched recently is also likely to be a frightened door, and the opposite side is the opposite "wounded door", both of which are the doors of great evil and unfavorable.
In this way, it can be inferred that the mechanism on the wall chosen by the smoke man must be a double-edged sword of good luck and evil.
If it is a "door opening" that can open the way out, it is naturally a good thing. However, there is also half a chance that the door will be shocked, and the wrong touch can send us to death in an instant.
A life-and-death choice, the four of us are now like trapped beasts that have fallen into a trap, and it is very likely that we will usher in the merciless killing of sharp arrows.
My head was dizzy and uncomfortable, and I don't know if it was caused by overthinking or too much stress. As a result, I sat down on the ground with my head in my hands in my decadent hands. I admit that my heart is not as strong as steel, and I can't make such a difficult choice at once, and I feel annoyed and guilty, and suddenly a faint despair spreads to my heart, and tightly strangles my neck, making it impossible for me to breathe freely.
The smoke man came over and patted my collapsed shoulder, Tianyu was explaining something to the unknown fat man, my head buzzed inexplicably, and I was immediately buried between my legs weakly, and then my ears began to hear the surrounding sounds clearly.
At this point, I felt as if someone had come up to me and crouched down to say something to me, but I was so dizzy that I couldn't hear anyone at all. When someone saw my uncomfortably curled body, they gently stroked my back, and then let my body relax and lie down.
I couldn't feel the cold ground on my spine, but I knew in my heart that it was raining next to me. Although my swollen mind couldn't hear what she said, it should have been some words of comfort, but her warm voice was very effective in calming my imposing collapse, and I gently closed my eyes and fell asleep.
In my dream, I kept walking in a narrow alley in the dimness and confusion, and every time I came across a bend, I thought it was an exit. However, the long and narrow alleys appear in front of me again and again. Exhaustion and despair filled my heart, and I sat on the ground weakly and desperately.
Suddenly, a cold and strange voice appeared in the air, and it said arrogantly: "Have you given up? Then you can only stay here with me forever. β
I looked up in fear and wanted to ask loudly, "Who is it?" β
However, my throat couldn't make any sound, so I stood up and frantically waved my hands upwards to catch the vicious sound, but it was in vain.
Suddenly, a black mist swooped down on me from the air, and I immediately waved my hands desperately to drive away the mysterious black mist. However, the black mist turned into wisps, wrapping around my hands, so that my hands could not be waved. Like a vicious python, the black mist slowly swirled along my arms and wrapped around my body, then spread to my legs.
The black mist that tightly wrapped around my body tightened tighter and tighter, so that I heard the sound of bones shattering, felt the sharp pain of my ribs piercing my lungs, and blood flowed out of the corners of my mouth, and I could only close my eyes in despair.
At this moment, I suddenly heard someone calling my name, "Sven, wake up, wake up." β
So I bothered myself and slowly opened my eyes.
Tianyu's anxious face was reflected in my pupils, and the fat man and the smoker man also gathered around me, and grabbed my arms and legs tightly, respectively. When they saw that I was awake, they let go of my hands and feet.
Tianyu asked me softly, "Are you okay?" β
I nodded weakly, it seemed that I was having a nightmare, and my body was probably crazy, looking at Tianyu with a reassuring expression, I slowly sat up, leaned against the wall cloth and asked her, "How long have I been sleeping?" β
Tianyu glanced at the watch on his fair-skinned wrist and said, "Two hours." β
I held on to my chaotic head, which was still a mess, and thought: I just felt like I had a light sleep, but I didn't expect it to be four hours. Normally, I feel more relaxed after sleeping, but I feel that my body is getting heavier and weaker, as if all the bad feelings are piled up and crowded all over my body, I guess my current look should be very ugly, and it must not look as good as a discarded rag.
