Chapter 272: The Eighteenth Layer of Hell
"Let's go with my sister, I'll take you over, just now I and Xiao Haitang were in a state of wandering spirits, and we floated to that place!" Sister Zhang replied.
Could it be that there can be a yin and yang fish pattern in this underground ghost cave, I know that this place may have something to do with my grandfather and my grandfather, Sister Zhang said this, I don't doubt it at all.
Then, Sister Zhang took us on, the structure of this place is very peculiar, it looks like going back, in fact, when I feel that I am almost near the puddle where we came in before, in fact, we are in another place.
This place is relatively wide, like a space formed by the cracking of a mountain. There are various cave statues carved on the rocks on both sides, but the cave statues we see now are different from those we have seen before. The hell pawn trampled the man to the ground, tore the man's arm, and spread the man's fingers open, while the other ghost pawn was holding a huge pair of scissors, which clearly symbolized the second level of hell, the scissors hell.
The stele with words that Sister Zhang said is not far away, and some of the ancient text records on it are indeed as Sister Zhang said, but it is very strange, why are these descriptive steles placed in such a position on the second floor?
At this time, Sister Zhang said: "Look at the dome! ”
All of us recounted as a conditioned reflex, looking together towards the top of our heads, and at first glance, I was stunned, and a pair of lifelike yin and yang fish patterns were carved on the dome. In my cognition, the Yin-Yang Fish represents the identity of the Onmyoji, since this place is carved with the pattern of the Yin-Yang Fish, could it be said that this eighteen-layer hell was built by an Onmyoji?
I slowly raised my right hand, took a deep breath, and concentrated on the pair of yin and yang fish in the palm of my hand. Soon, two vivid yin and yang fish patterns appeared in the palm of the hand, which was indeed the same as the pair of yin and yang fish patterns on the top of the cave.
Since this is the work of the Onmyoji, what is the Onmyoji doing in such a place? In this place, it is the eighteenth layer of hell, and when it is Qinglong Temple in Qingyan Mountain, it is Huangquanhai, is there some kind of connection between all this?
In the second layer of hell, we did not encounter any dangerous formation mechanisms, and at the same time, I also found that some cave statues have not been completed, which shows that this eighteen-layer hell is indeed artificially built, and for some reason, it has been suspended, and it can only be regarded as a half-finished product until now.
Presumably, the second grandfather and the old father must have also come here before, with their interest in the disappearance of the great grandfather and the bellow lord back then, they will definitely not stop here, they will definitely continue to look for the second layer, the third layer, etc., and even the eighteenth layer of hell.
So, the next thing we do is to continue to find the entrance to the next layer of hell, and the method is basically the same, because as soon as we go to the next layer of hell, go back, and then we will go to the next level, and there is no way to understand how this wonderful structure is done here.
And the only basis for judging that we have reached the next level of hell is the changes in the surrounding caves.
The first layer of tongue pulling hell, the second layer of scissors hell, to the third layer is the iron tree hell, the fourth layer is the evil mirror hell, the fifth layer of the cage steaming hell, the sixth layer of the copper pillar hell, from the seventh layer of the knife mountain hell down, the surrounding caves have completely become reliefs, large areas of reliefs, but those reliefs have not yet undergone the final refinement, there are many contents are very abstract, but you can still see the changes.
It's almost exactly the same as the eighteen layers of hell that we know in legend, and if we keep going down, where will we go?
The next step is to continue going down the same way, and the method is the same, but when you go beyond the thirteenth layer of hell, the reliefs below begin to become finer, and there are even many reliefs that make people's scalps tingle. In particular, the reliefs of the stone grinding hell are so finely carved that I don't even want to look at them.
When he was watching, Shen Yue suddenly said, "Xiao Fan, come here, who do you see this person is?" ”
I immediately ran over to him, and when I got to him, Shen Yue pointed to a person in the reliefs and said, "That's it, have you noticed that there is such a person on those reliefs, who looks like a fairy wind and bones, and he is standing on the top of the mountain in that position, looking down on everything in hell." Moreover, from the thirteenth floor onwards, those reliefs show not only hell, but hell and earth! ”
I was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "How can I look like it's in hell?" ”
Shen Yue smiled, he pointed to a mural area next to him and said, "Xiao Fan, take a closer look, what's the difference between the one you saw just now?" ”
The scene is basically the same, it is some people who send some people in shackles into the stone mill, which represents the situation of the stone mill hell of the seventeenth layer of hell.
"If you really talk about the difference, it seems that there is really a little bit of it!" I said because I felt that the people who were executed were different, and the people who were tortured didn't seem to be the same.
I went back and looked at it again, and then I realized that it was really different, completely two concepts. On the other side just now, the dark clouds were rolling in the sky, and the tortured people below were not wearing any clothes, including those ghost pawns, and they also had nothing on them, which represented the situation in hell. And Shen Yue's side is different, whether it is the tortured people or those hideous-looking executioners, they are all wearing clothes, and even some are wearing ancient government uniforms, which should not represent the situation of hell, but the torture of the yang world.
The clouds rolling in the sky of the underworld, and the sky of the yang even have the sun, this relief is not just the situation of the seventeenth layer of hell, but the contrast of the torture of the two worlds of yin and yang.
And the person with the fairy wind and bones on the relief is standing on the top of the mountain, he looks down on everything, as if he is looking down on the suffering of the yin and yang worlds.
Since the seventeenth layer has been reached, then the eighteenth layer of hell is left for the last layer.
Without any delay, we continued to descend as before, and soon reached the so-called eighteenth level of hell, which was much larger than the previous levels, and the cracks in the mountain were almost the extreme, and on both sides were skyscraping cliffs, and on the cliffs were almost endless reliefs.
Just glanced at it, and the content on the picture was without exception interpreting the situation of the eighteenth layer of hell, and the eighteenth layer of hell was the hell of the knife and saw.
I thought Daddy would be in this place, but after arriving in this hell, we searched for a long time, and we didn't find Daddy's whereabouts.
Aren't they here?
How is this possible, according to Sister Zhang, they did arrive here, but after searching for the eighteenth layer of hell, they couldn't see their trace, what the hell is going on?
We even went to see if there were any bluestone statues around, but then we found out that there was no such thing at all, and there was nothing else in this place except for reliefs.
I'm wondering, will there be a secret door or something on the stone wall of this place, otherwise, all of them are big living people, how could they disappear for some reason?
In the midst of our search, the leprechaun even found a dagger in a corner. Sister Zhang looked at the dagger, and she said, "This is the kind of self-defense dagger that the second master brought when we came in, and they are all of a unified model!" ”
This shows that the old father and the second grandfather are here to come, and there are some less obvious marks on the dagger blade, indicating that they may have experienced a fight here. Maybe it was those people from Tai'an who also arrived here, and they met with their father and second grandfather here, experienced a fight, and in the end they all disappeared.
Shen Yue also turned around, he touched the back of his head and said: "This is really fucking weird, how can a few people say that it is gone, could it be that it is not in the stone?" ”
"Do you think they're stone monkeys?" Sister Zhang glanced at Shen Yue.
Of course, it was a joke, but I couldn't think of any other explanation, and I even took a dagger and knocked on the stone walls in a row to see if there was a secret door, empty, but to no avail.
Shen Yue continued to stare at the relief, and he looked at it and said, "Ouch...... Come and see, little one. You see that there is such a person standing on the top of the mountain here, Xiaofan, you say...... Who the fuck is this man, why is he everywhere? ”
