Chapter 108: A Room with a Hanging Rope
I had the heart to count the hanging ropes in a room, there were forty-four in all, and the fat man lamented that I was overthinking.
I said that there is only one entrance door to the stone room, and the exit must be in this stone room, maybe those hanging ropes are the mechanisms that open the exit of the stone door, how can you do it if you don't pay attention?
I didn't expect that the seventh master would look at me in horror, and said How did you think that the rope used by the hanged ghost was a mechanism, and where did this excessive sanity come from?
I replied to him that where I came from to be too reasonable, and now my heart is also straight, and the reason why I feel that those hanging ropes are the mechanism that opens the stone door is completely a sudden idea in my heart, is pure ignorance.
Seventh Master Zha agreed with my sudden idea, and he said that listening to me, those terrifying hanging ropes are likely to open the mechanism leading to the outside. However, there must be truth and falsehood in this, and once you miss the wrong choice, the consequences can be imagined.
I think there's only one really opening mechanism, and the others are all fake to confuse the public, maybe some of them are simply cast on top of the stone slab and can't be pulled, and some are likely to shoot poisoned arrows at the slightest touch. Dozens of sticks are selected to be true or false, which is not an easy task.
The fat man said that there must be a basis and a way to discern, or how to infer it. After publishing his lofty theory, he leaned against the stone wall, saying that this kind of brain-intensive work would be handed over to the military advisor Fake Sven, and when he had no choice but to do so, he, the general, would go out again.
The stone chamber covered with hanging ropes, everyone did not dare to step into it easily, and the swaying ropes seemed to be ghosts that could hook people's souls, making people hairy at the same time. There is always a delusion, a very terrifying imagination. It is the sight of putting your head into the noose of the hanging rope and hanging your body in the air.
Fat man resting against the wall. After resting for a while, he suddenly opened his eyes and said, "It's too much of a grandma's evil sect here, I can't sleep well, and there are always a group of hanged ghosts dangling in Lao Tzu's head." ”
Not only did the fat man have this idea, but everyone else stayed at the door of the stone room full of hanging ropes, and they all felt very uncomfortable as if there were ants crawling on the back of their necks. So we sat down in the dimly lit corridor away from the stone chamber full of hanging ropes, and began to discuss how to crack the mechanisms in the stone chambers covered with hanging ropes.
The fat man said that the stone room was too strange and gloomy, and there were just forty-four hanging ropes in the room. The house is four meters long and four meters long, which means that it is a dead end!
The monkey immediately nodded in agreement, saying that the stone chamber covered with rope nooses was too terrifying for a man to gain a foothold in.
They were definitely not alarmist, in the dark underground, in a cold and quiet, windy stone room, on the ceiling hung dozens of hanging ropes, just thinking about it would make you shudder. Not to mention entering the ghostly stone house. Those who dare to step in, how bold must be!
Those of us who have been dealing with ghosts and goblins underground all year round are actually cowardly, but we have encountered such a battle as a hanging rope in a room. It is inevitable that I will mumble in my heart, and I always feel hairy in my heart. When we went in to check it out as a group just now, we didn't feel too terrifying. Now I don't dare to close my eyes and sleep in the dark anymore.
However, no matter how eerie the stone chamber covered with hanging ropes was. We all have to find the mechanism that leads to the other side and walk through it.
I said don't think about the horrors of the stone chamber just yet. Let's explore, how to crack the mechanism?
My thoughts and that of Seventh Master Zha were all related to the forty-four hanging ropes, and it was estimated that pulling one of the correct rope sleeves would open the door to the other side.
The speculation is simple and straightforward, but how to find the only real one among the forty-four upper rope sleeves is stumped.
The inauspicious number forty-four, apart from the tongue twister that suddenly reminded me, had no other connection with it.
The forty-four numbers in the I Ching mathematics are the main culprits, there is the disaster of greed for merit, and the image of the eyebrows is difficult to show, which means that "there is no end to adversity and adversity, and there should be no misfortune with cooperation", which is really a great evil, not a good number, and also responds to our current situation. Therefore, people in the world tend to be auspicious and avoid evil, and do not use the number of four words, but here it is four plus four, which has the meaning of death and death, which is really vicious and unlucky.
Forty-four hanging ropes in a room are unlucky and vicious, but we must not carefully examine them. But it was really difficult to see the suspicion inside when he was outside, so he could only go into the stone room again to check.
The fat man stopped me and said that the stone room was too evil, and it was not good to have a hanged ghost. Actually, I don't want to take another step in, but at the moment there is no other way but to bite the bullet.
Seventh Master said I'll go with you, I said no, I can do it alone, you take care of everyone outside, in case something happens to me inside, you can also try to rescue me outside.
Seventh Master had no choice but to nod, and I held the vajra in my right hand and a flashlight in my left hand, and walked towards the stone room.
As soon as I walked into the stone room, I suddenly noticed someone behind me, and I turned around sharply to find that it was a cigarette man following me with a lit cigarette in his mouth. He must have been afraid that something would happen to me, and I knew very well that it would be useless to say anything more to him, so I let him follow.
The wind was gusting in the stone room, and I don't know where the cold air seeped out like a tide, which made people shiver all the time. The hanging rope above the head flickered in the light, swaying slightly like a dead leaf in the wind, and even a glance at it made it feel like a ghost beckoning, chilling the bottom of the heart, and chilling the back of the neck, as if there was a demon blowing behind him.
This time, when I walked into the stone chamber, I no longer just looked up at the hanging rope on my head, but focused on the four walls of the stone chamber.
The four corners of the dark stone chamber are dark and gloomy, like a hiding place for evil spirits.
After turning two corners, my body suddenly began to shiver inexplicably, as if the cold air was invading my body, and I kept fighting one cold shiver after another. Finally, I finally managed to finish the round, and I immediately jumped out of the stone chamber, screaming that I was freezing to death.
The dark stone chamber suddenly cooled down, as if a dense foggy cold air seeped into the stone chamber from all directions, making the originally dark and damp underground stone chamber into a cold cellar.
The fat man asked me if I had any suspicions, I rubbed my hands and shook my head, and when my body gradually warmed up, I said that there was nothing suspicious about the stone walls in the stone room, and the way to open the mechanism was still on those hanging ropes, and I had to start cracking it from their bodies. (To be continued......)
