Chapter 24: The Murals

Secretary Xing looked at Professor Guan in surprise: "How do you know Lu Dao?" ”

"In ancient times, sorcerers, women were called 'witches', men were called 'witches', and this statue was a woman. According to the historical records, among the ten witches of Wuxian Kingdom, only Wu Pansheng has multiple eyes, and the sieve in his hand is porous, both of which play a role in identification and scrutiny, coupled with the feng shui puzzle of the 'Ten Witches of the Dragon's Drum and Ten Witches' set up at the site of Qingyuan Temple, so I concluded that this stone statue is Wu Pan. Professor Kwan explained.

"He's censoring us?"

"That's right, that's why we met Wu Pan in the first place."

"Joke, how does a chiseled stone statue censor a bunch of our big living people?" Secretary Xing scoffed.

"Listen, everyone," Professor Guan admonished with an unusually solemn face, "From now on, we are about to enter the 'Ten Witches of the Dragon's Drums', we don't know who set up this ancient feng shui puzzle, and we don't know what its purpose is, but from now on, we must be careful and every step of the way, and don't go away, otherwise we will be trapped in it like the souls of those monks." ”

Youliang looked at Professor Guan suspiciously, a painter is so proficient in feng shui, who is he?

"The soul of the monk brought Erya here, there must be some conspiracy, you use your brains, the crack at the entrance of the cave is so narrow, how did the stone statue come in? Strange, comrades must be on guard. Secretary Xing said vigilantly.

Ke'er admires it very much, and Xianggong's mind is so witty.

"Erya, where are they?" Professor Guan leaned close to her ear, and his voice was unusually soft.

"At the front." Erya replied.

"Keep following." Professor Kwan instructed her.

As he spoke, a thick fog drifted from nowhere, enveloping the entire stone hall, and nothing could be seen.

"Hand in hand, don't be left behind." Professor Kwan exclaimed.

Youliang took two steps forward and grabbed Erya's hand, and then he was pulled by Professor Guan, followed by Keer and Secretary Xing, and everyone cautiously groped forward.

"Huh." Arirashi heard Professor Guan squeeze softly as he held his hand.

In the thick fog, a stone wall stood in front of it, and there was no other passage.

"They're inside the stone wall." Erya is quiet.

Everyone felt strange, and stepped forward to touch the smooth stone wall, and vaguely felt some lines on it.

"It's like a carved mural." Secretary Xing felt it with his hands.

Professor Guan touched it for a long time, and then said, "It is indeed a carved landscape painting, with rolling mountains, trees and river bank stones. ”

"The monks probably entered the painting," Ke'er was attentive, and her slender hand touched the monks carved in the image, "they are all bald." ”

"The mechanism may be hidden in this mural, we all retreat to the Wupan stone statue, and the second girl stays." Professor Kwan pondered for a moment and said......

Arara stood silently in front of the stone wall, his yin eyes had penetrated the thick fog, and he could see the paintings on the stone wall clearly.

There are mountains and rivers on it, there are twelve peaks in total, and at the foot of the mountain is a thin bend in the river, and a flat boat is moored down the river, and several monks are about to go ashore.

"Why do you want her to stay alone?" Secretary Xing asked.

"We can't pass Wu Pan's scrutiny." Professor Guan replied lightly.

Everyone returned to the front of the stone statue, leaving only Er Ya alone in front of the stone wall, and sure enough, the dense fog gradually dissipated, but standing far away from the stone statue, the light was dim, and the mural could not be seen clearly.

"Erya, what's on the mural, you have to say it out loud." Professor Guan's urgent voice echoed in the stone hall.

Erya didn't answer, only to see a vague figure in the distance standing alone, motionless.

"What's wrong with you, tell me quickly." Professor Kwan said urgently.

Erya still didn't make any sound.

Youliang was in a hurry, and hurriedly ran towards Erya, a thick fog swept in and shrouded the stone hall again, Professor Guan didn't hold him and stomped his feet angrily.

When he came to the stone wall, Arira's dark eyes saw the second girl in the dense fog standing there in a daze, with his eyes closed as if he was asleep.

His gaze looked at the stone wall, where the monks had disembarked and were climbing towards the mountain peak one by one

Arira couldn't believe his eyes, those figures in the mural turned out to be alive! He rubbed his right eye, and sure enough, the monks were about to climb the highest mountain.

Looking back, there was a fog, and I couldn't see Professor Guan and the others.

"Erya." He tugged at her.

Er Ya didn't hear it, and there was no reaction.

Youliang looked at the stone wall, suddenly, his gaze stopped, and there was a small boat in the river that quickly sailed to the shore, and before it could be stable, a familiar figure jumped down and followed behind the monk, it was Erya

He was completely confused, Er Ya was by his side at the moment, and who was the one in the mural?

The monks finally climbed to the top of the peak, and then drilled into a cave, the entrance of the cave seems to be engraved with very fine handwriting, carefully identified for a while before seeing the three words "wish to welcome the corpse".

Arira then stared at the second girl in the painting, and found that she was climbing the mountain very fast, and after a while, she climbed to the entrance of the cave of the peak, looked up at the inscription at the entrance of the cave, and went directly into the hole.

At this moment, the mural began to fade, slowly faded, and finally turned back to the smooth stone wall, leaving no nicks on it, and at the same time, the thick fog around it suddenly disappeared without a trace.

Hurried footsteps sounded, and Professor Guan hurriedly ran over, looked at the stone wall in surprise and shouted, "Where is the mural?" ”

Arira shook his head and said, "When the fog clears, there is no mural. ”

"Erya, what did you see?" Professor Guan asked eagerly.

Erya closed her eyes tightly and did not speak.

"Erya, I'm asking you."

Still nothing happens.

Youliang stood silently beside him, and secretly said in his heart, could it be that the mural is the soul of Erya?

Ke'er gently pushed Erya: "What's wrong with you?" ”

"Professor Guan, what kind of idealistic hypnosis? If she doesn't wake up now, you're responsible. Secretary Xing asked sharply.

Professor Guan sighed, stood opposite Erya, and said, "Erya, I'll count to three, and then you will wake up, 3, 2, 1"

Everyone looked at Erya in unison, but they were still unconscious and didn't open their eyes.

Professor Guan was greatly puzzled and hurriedly said, "Erya, the hypnosis is over, wake up quickly." ”

Youliang watched coldly and didn't say a word.

Professor Guan was a little anxious at this time, so he quickly took out a box of matches and lit the drawing paper, and approached Erya's nostrils to let the cigarette inhale.

"Ah Ya" Er Ya sneezed a few times in a row, suddenly excited, opened his eyes, and asked in surprise, "Where is this, why is it so dark?" ”

Professor Kwan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Kerr giggled, "You brought us to this cave, but you don't know what to do. ”

Youliang approached Erya and asked, "Where did you go just now?" ”

Erya looked at him puzzled: "I don't know the way, aren't we at the ruins of Qingyuan Temple?" ”

"Alas, the opportunity was missed." Professor Guan sighed repeatedly.

"What opportunity is missing?" Secretary Xing looked at him suspiciously.

Professor Guan was extremely frustrated, and said bitterly with tears in his eyes: "Only Er Ya among us can communicate with the soul of the monk, and the reason why we brought her here is to let her see the murals, and the others can't pass Wu Pan's censorship, so there will be a thick fog to cover it." Now that the mural is gone, the only opportunity for more than a thousand years has been lost, which is really a pity. ”

"Why is it only possible for Erya?" Secretary Xing still didn't understand.

"Because she is the descendant of Sun Simiao, the king of medicine." Professor Kwan blurted out.

"Professor Guan, we never said, how did you know the Dao?" Secretary Xing's vigilant gaze looked directly at him.

Professor Guan was stunned for a moment, and said with an embarrassed smile: "Only the direct descendants of the Sun family can have a sense of the monk's soul, so I guessed this relationship. ”

Secretary Xing was still full of questions: "You are a painter, even if you know feng shui and other knowledge, how can you know so much about Qingyuan Temple and the family affairs of the medicine king Sun Simiao?" Years of experience in class struggle have taught me that there must be something wrong with you as a person. ”

"The slave family also guessed so." Kerr expressed her support.

Youliang ignored the bickering between them, and thought hard about the strange picture that appeared on the stone wall just now, Erya must have been hypnotized, and the monk guided her soul into the cave in the mural, could it be where the tomb of the Medicine King is located? What is "Greeting the Corpse"?

He thought in his heart, but Yin Eye inadvertently caught a glimpse of two small red eyes staring at them in the dark corner, and under careful identification, Mei Niang's looming black figure gradually emerged

"It's not good, Sun Yifeng is here!" Youliang shouted in shock, the big civet cat is not around at the moment, and they alone are definitely not Sun Yifeng's opponents.

Secretary Xing and Ke'er also became nervous when they heard this, he had eaten the loss of this Qinling black civet cat demon, he was almost cut off by the carotid artery last time, if it wasn't for the navel big civet cat arriving in time, he would definitely die.

"Where?" Secretary Xing's trembling voice.

At this moment, Sun Yifeng and Li Lin Zhidao who were lurking in the grotto of the stone hall and Yongdao were discovered, although Lao Bai instructed them to spy on them, but the matter had to show up so far.

"Ha Luha, it's really fateful, the second girl, we met again." Sun Yifeng walked out of the darkness with a smile, Mei Niang and six little black cats surrounded his feet, while Li Lin was still lurking in the grotto and did not show up for the time being, if the situation was not right, he could secretly help.

"Who are you, and why are you following us?" Professor Kwan asked.

Sun Yifeng looked at Professor Guan, and sneered twice: "The professor of the Shaanxi Academy of Fine Arts, why didn't you come to Gongchuan to find the tomb of the Medicine King?" Can't you rob a tomb? ”

"Hmph, I'm just trying to help this little girl, who are you? He was secretly peeping. Professor Kwan asked rhetorically.

"Well," Sun Yifeng said smugly, "It's Uncle Sun Erya, her elder, the tomb of the Medicine King is our housework, where can you outsiders interfere." ”

"Meow" Mei Niang echoed.
