Chapter Twenty-Three: The Treasure Hall in the Fog

I saw that in the misty swamp, under the midday sun, a little golden yellow reflected the golden light, as if there was a piece of gold in that place.

At this time, it was Zhong Gong who was manipulating the mallet, and I made a gesture and said, "Go over and have a look." Zhong Gong was silent, but he was very reliable, and he pushed in the swamp and headed in that direction. Suddenly, everyone approached the place, only to see that the water content of the mire here was less, and the surface diving seemed to have evaporated a lot. In the black mire, a pagoda-shaped object of about 30 centimeters emerged from the swamp, the surface was wrapped in silt, and only the true color of the inside was revealed sporadically, reflecting the light in golden yellow.

Gu Wenmin took out a handkerchief and wiped the stains on the surface of the thing, and suddenly revealed its original appearance, it was a golden gourd-based beast head, with a very peculiar shape, similar to a unicorn, but the ears were cloud-striped, and each of the four claws had a mouth, each of which was wide open, as if it was about to bite something.

The color was already a little dark, but I could still see at a glance that it was red gold.

Tofu saw that the gold would still be soft, and immediately stretched out his hands to get it up, but when he pulled it out, the thing didn't move, as if there was something falling underneath. At this moment, Zhen Rui said: "Don't move, this is the legendary good and evil beast on the Yin Si Treasure Palace, if I guess correctly, the Yashan Treasure Hall we are looking for has already been swallowed up by this swamp." ”

Seeing the beast's head exposed, I knew that what Yuan Rui said was true, I wanted to come to this swamp, Bacheng is where the Treasure Hall of Yashan is located, this treasure hall has long been covered by the swamp, and now it is summer, the water vapor in the swamp evaporates a lot, and the silt sinks, which reveals the good and evil beasts on the top of the treasure hall.

How good is that?

At this time, Gu Wenmin suddenly said: "Could it be that the person who was eaten by the man back then was actually swallowed by the swamp?" I have to say that Gu Wenmin's thinking is quick, I nodded and said: "There is this possibility, if the treasure hall is buried in the ground, it is okay to say, it will be difficult for us, but under the swamp, this silt and soft water, it is difficult for us to start." ”

Zhen Rui said: "Straight and easy to break, weak and strong, the more this kind of landform, the more difficult it is to start." ”

Xiao Jing's spirit was a little better, her voice was a little weak, and she said, "What should I do then?" Shall we continue? ”

I thought for a while and said: "This swamp is not formed in more than ten years, since more than ten years ago, some people said that they had seen the Yashan Treasure Hall here, then there must be other ways, let's leave the swamp first." Immediately, everyone did not say more, sliding the raft through the fog, with the passage of time, the fog on the swamp became thicker and thicker, at this moment, in the fog, faintly, there appeared a huge building, at a glance the black building and yellow tiles, simple and exquisite, flickering in the fog.

This thing suddenly appeared, and everyone was not stupid, and they didn't know that this was an illusion, so they heard Tofu mutter, "What is this?" Could it be a mountain market? ”

Zhen Ji touched his chin and said: "Mountain City is a kind of mirage, it belongs to projection, since there is projection, there should be an ontology." But the Yashan Treasure Hall has been buried under the swamp, how can there be a projection?" Everyone couldn't figure it out for a while, so they heard Xiao Jing a little scared, put her arm around me and said, "Look, it's blocking in front of us, let's continue to move forward, will it ......?"

When I heard what she said, I chuckled in my heart, and remembered the words of the survivor of the archaeological team: People were eaten by a house, didn't it mean that the swamp swallowed people, but the building that suddenly appeared in front of me?

Yes, it's blocking our way, and we have to go through it if we want to move forward. Anyone knows that this sudden appearance of the building must be fake, illusory, just like Tofu's previous speculation, will think that it is just a mountain market, an illusion.

But, what if it's true?

The raft stopped, and after a moment, Yuan Rui looked at me and said, "If you don't want to take the risk, it's too late to quit now." ”

I looked at Tofu, Gu Wenmin, and Xiao Jing around me, and said to them, "I don't know what will happen ahead, if possible, I hope you can stay in a safe place and wait for me." When Tofu heard this, he was the first to jump out and object, saying: "Lao Chen, what do you think of me, can I let you take the risk alone?" Since we share blessings and difficulties, we should share them, don't always grind and chirp, my ears can hear the calluses. ”

Xiao Jing grabbed my arm tightly and said, "Wherever you go, I will go." ”

Gu Wenmin was silent for a moment and said, "I said that I came here not only for you, but also for the archaeological team that disappeared back then. I knew that what Gu Wenmin said was an excuse, but now, the three of them are also iron-hearted, and my heart is hot, and I said, "Okay, even if it is Longtan Tiger's Den, we will break together." ”

Tofu said: "We have already broken through Longtan, let alone the tiger's den, Gu Da Meinu brought a gun, and she can be killed with one shot." None of us flinched, we looked at each other, and then Zhong Gong nodded, and the raft approached the building not far away. What awaits us next?

As the distance narrowed, everyone's expressions became visibly nervous.

When you get closer, you can already see the black wooden door, which is painted with vermilion and colored gold ornaments, and at a glance, it is a picture of the ten halls of Yama.

The wooden door was closed, and every qiē seemed very real, but we knew that it was just an illusion, and if we had gone along the way, our raft might have passed directly through this false building. However, an accident happened, and our raft did not pass through, but was blocked at the moment of collision with the treasure hall.

This treasure hall that suddenly appeared turned out to be physical!

Everyone gasped for a moment, obviously, Zhong Gong, who was in the palm of his hand, was more stimulated, and the hammer in his hand fell, dumbfounded. After a while, Tofu swallowed his saliva and said, "What should I do?" This thing suddenly appeared in front of us, and I felt like it was inviting us in, which made people panic. ”

The situation in front of me is strange and unheard of, but what can I do now, can I just go back? Anyone is afraid that they are unwilling, even Xiao Jing looks scared and wants to find out. The reason why human beings are separated from animals on the road of evolution is because in the face of the unknown, human beings will have a sense of inquiry in addition to fear.

Without further discussion, I took my baggage and stepped off the raft first, motioning for the rest of the group to follow. Looking at it from a distance before, I only felt that this was a very large building complex, and after really entering it, I responded to a poem: I don't know the true face of Lushan, only because I am in this mountain. Stepping into the corridor in front of the temple, our vision narrowed.

I don't know where to go on both sides of this corridor, the position in the center is the gate of the treasure hall, we look up, the four big black characters of the Yashan treasure hall, hanging above with teeth and claws, I don't know what font it is. The door of the treasure hall was closed, and there was silence around me, and I reached out and pushed the door of the lower hall, which was not locked, and the wooden door creaked and suddenly opened.

The moment the wooden door opened, there was a gust of yin wind from inside, accompanied by the yin wind, there was a black shadow, caught off guard, I was startled and hurriedly retreated, only to see clearly that it was a piece of hanging down, like a prayer flag, black cloth, covered with ghosts such as bull heads and horse faces.

The hall was dim, and when I looked inside through the sunlight, I saw that everywhere I looked, there were black cloths hanging down from top to bottom, about one meter wide and close to the ground in length, layer upon layer, blocking people's sight.

Where had Xiao Jing seen this, her face turned white with fright, and she said, "What are you hanging these things for?" ”

Without waiting for me to speak, Gu Wenmin said: "According to legend, the Yin Si Treasure Hall is the place where the little ghosts of Yama Luo and the place where the ghosts borrow the way. Xiao Jing and Gu Wenmin had an awkward relationship, and they were a little embarrassed to be compared to Gu Wenmin like this, so they said: "How do you know that this is modeled after the Yin Si Treasure Palace, since it is the treasure hall of the underworld, how can a living person know what the treasure hall looks like." "The speaker is unintentional, listening is intentional, as soon as Xiao Jing's words came out, I felt a pang in my heart, and I saw that Gu Wenmin's face also changed.

The two of us looked at each other and immediately understood that we were going to a place eighty percent of us.

In a folk interview in Shangyao Village, it was recorded that the army excavated the ore vein, and as a result, the yellow spring water came out, and the smoke filled the hall, and then the Yin Si Treasure Hall appeared in the smoke. The building complex in front of us suddenly appeared as legendary, but it was not the Yashan Treasure Palace, but the ......

Soon, this conjecture was suppressed by us again, because there was a plaque on the treasure hall, which was clearly written, Yashan.

He was a young man, from a distinguished family, and had some skills, so he seemed to be not afraid of heaven and earth, and his face showed a look of excitement and inquiry, and when he saw that we were frightened back by a piece of cloth and sail, and stood still at the door for a long time, he rubbed his hands and said, "What is there to be afraid of, I will take the lead, and you will follow me." With that, he flashed into the hall, moving his body among the heavy black sails, and now we could only follow.
