Chapter 55: The Hub
I thought of Tofu, who was out of sight, and I shouted Tofu's name into the darkness, and again, no one answered me.
Ghost Feng poured cold water on me, saying that Tofu must have died, maybe the ghost was sucked into this demon mirror, otherwise how could Tofu's face appear in the mirror? These words made me scared in my heart, and I was on fire, so I had a cold face, and walked forward first, comforting myself in my heart Don't mention Feng Ghost Hand nonsense, what is the matter of people, you have to see it to know, even if you are really dead, you have to have a corpse, right?
In the dark, I led the team in front, and I was getting farther and farther away from the demon mirror in the rear. The air quality in the cave doesn't seem to be very good, making people feel a little depressed, and there is a faint smell of it. We had to put the gas masks back on.
Everyone was cautious, and the team moved silently against a flashlight. After a short time, we were already far away from the demon mirror, so Zhen Rui turned on an extra flashlight, so that the surrounding light was bright, and the field of vision suddenly widened.
As the surrounding environment became clearer, I suddenly found that the floor tiles on both sides were actually laid, but the strange thing was that the floor tiles seemed to be damp, or other reasons, so they looked like some signs of loosening, and the bulge was very strong.
Feng Ghost took a closer look and said, "There are reliefs on this, tsk, it's a bit hard to look at." "I also noticed that the relief is located in the center, which does not occupy a large position, but because of the protrusion of the tomb bricks, it looks uneven, and it is difficult to see what it was intended to express.
But at the beginning of the relief, there was a mark that caught my attention.
It's the cross I'm familiar with.
This cross appears again, and what does it represent this time?
I frowned, and began to look carefully at the contents of the relief, although it was difficult, but I did not dare to be careless, for I vaguely felt that the cross would be carved here, and perhaps the content on it was important.
In the glow of the flashlight, I took a closer look at the reliefs that were not easily recognizable. After looking at the beard, I suddenly realized that the carving on it was the scene of the construction of this cave. One of them, a large coffin with a sharp square mouth, was carried into this place. According to the description of the relief, this coffin should be in the innermost position.
But at the same time, there is a scene in the relief that also puzzles us.
I saw that the people above, when they left, covered their faces with their sleeves, as if they had suddenly become unable to see people. Zhong Gong said: "It's strange, is it because of that demon mirror?" Could it be that this human face can't be seen by the demon mirror? His speculation is not groundless, because the person on this relief did not begin to cover his face after passing by the demon mirror.
I asked Zhuangrui. If you are hit by this demon mirror, what will be your reaction?
Zhen Rui shook his head, saying that he didn't know, he was mature and steady, and I didn't pay much attention to it, but when I got closer, I suddenly found that there was a thin layer of sweat on the bridge of his nose. You know, the air under this underground is not hot, but it is a little cold, and we don't have a lot of exercise at this time, why is he sweating?
I couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with you?" Is there anything uncomfortable? ”
Zhen Rui shook his head and said, "It's nothing. He looked away, as if unwilling to say more. I asked Zhong Gong quietly with my eyes. He also looked puzzled and shook his head at me slightly. In desperation, everyone had to move on, and it is unknown why those people covered their faces.
Walking a little further along the relief, the radioactive cavern finally came to an end, and at the same time, I saw at a glance the large black coffin with a square mouth on the opposite side.
At the bottom of the big black coffin is a corpse bed about four meters high, and the front of the stone bed is in the shape of stone steps, and people can step on the stone steps to go up.
In addition, what attracts our attention the most is not the big coffin, but a full-bellied three-legged tripod in the center. It is round, with a lot of thumb-thick dragons on the surface, regular and messy, about one meter high, exquisite and complex shape, majestic, and attracts people's attention at a glance.
Zhong Gong said: "The tripod is a ritual vessel, this tripod has a strange shape, and there are so many dragons surrounding, how can it be placed in this place?" Could it be that this coffin is not a burial companion, but the owner of the tomb? ”
Feng Ghost said: "This coffin is big enough, but to fit an elephant, I see enough choking, could it be that the elephant is divided into corpses?" ”
As he spoke, Feng Ghost approached the big tripod in the center and lowered his head to look at the tripod, snorted suddenly, and said, "Could it be ......" He seemed to understand something, and his expression instantly became stern. I didn't have time to pay attention to Feng Ghost's hand, and with a flashlight, I looked at the surrounding corners.
No tofu.
Looks like tofu isn't in this place.
So what's going on with the sound we heard earlier?
Is there any secret passage in this place?
Did Tofu not want to see us, so he left through the secret passage and avoided us?
When the three of us were figuring it out, I found that Zhen Rui was silent. It stands to reason that he is well-informed, and when he encounters this kind of thing, he will definitely come forward to check it, why is there no movement at this time? I asked him with concern: "Are you not feeling well?" Don't hold on if you're uncomfortable. ”
Zhen Rui glanced at me and suddenly said, "I don't know why, my heart is racing." ”
I was a little worried and said, "All the time? ”
Zhen Rui shook his head and said, "After going down to this place, it will begin." "We have been down for at least ten minutes, and anyone who has had this kind of accelerated heart rate knows that if this state is maintained for a long time, people will sweat profusely, be tired, and no matter how strict they are, there will be problems with blood supply.
I was shocked, pressed his shoulder and said, "Sit down and rest first, and see if I can relieve it." It's strange that I don't have this situation, could it be that something is going on in this place. "At this point, we're all wearing gas masks, and even if something really poisonous, it shouldn't make a difference.
What's more, why did something happen to save Yuanrui?
I said to myself, is it his own physical problem?
Thinking so, he let him rest first. At this time, Feng Ghost said: "I know, this thing is a hub for organ control. ”
Organ control zhì hub?
I gathered around, surprised, and said, "Can it manipulate all the mechanisms in the tomb?" ”
Feng Ghost rubbed his hands excitedly and said, "It depends on the structure of the entire tomb. Maybe you can control all the traps, maybe only half of them. I see, do you remember the whistle before, someone must have manipulated this thing and saved us. ”
It was self-evident who this person was, and my heart sank, and I felt that something was wrong, and said, "If that person had been here all along, how did he know about our situation at that time?" "It's not like tofu has clairvoyance and ears to the wind, right?
Feng Ghost Hand thought about it, but he was also puzzled, and finally could only shake his head. He was very interested in this hub, saying that generally only large ancient tombs with many institutions would have this kind of thing, and most of them were sealed in Qionglai, but he didn't know what Puzhen's intention was, so he actually set it up in this place.
I said, "Can you go through it and see if there is a secret passage in this place?" ”
Feng Ghost was like a fox that saw a hedgehog, and it was a little difficult to put his mouth down, rubbing his hands and circling around this thing, as if he was thinking of a way, and for a while, the huge black coffin with the burial was left behind by us. Along the way, I haven't found any clues about the curse, plus Tofu's face suddenly changed, and there is no one at this time, and my heart is even more anxious.
Seeing that Ghost Feng's hands were circling around that thing, I couldn't help much, so I sat on the ground, trying to calm down my restless mood.
At this moment, I was sitting next to Zhen Rui, about twenty minutes or so, Feng Ghost Hand seemed to have thought of a countermeasure, he said: "I'll try, it shouldn't have much impact on us anyway." As he spoke, he put his hand into the ding.
Inside that ding, there is something like an eight-treasure box, I heard a click, it should be Feng Ghost opened the lid of the box, and then I don't know which part of it moved, in the space, a whistle suddenly sounded.
Really!
It seems that the previous times we were saved were because someone was manipulating this thing.
Who that person is, the identity is about to be revealed.
I scolded my mother fiercely, and greeted the eighteenth generation of the ancestors of tofu in my heart.
Immediately afterward, I asked Feng Ghost Shou, "This whistle sound, is it a control or something?" ”
Feng Ghost shook his head and said; "It's exact, but it's not dangerous."
I was angry and said, "You don't know anything, so you're messing around?" ”
Feng Ghost stiffened his hand and said, "Practice makes the real chapter...... Before he finished speaking, he suddenly said, "What's wrong with you?" As he said this, he looked at Zhen Rui next to me. When I heard this, I couldn't help but turn my head sideways, and at this time, I suddenly saw that for some reason, Zhen Rui's head was buried very low, and his shoulders kept shaking, as if he was crying.
However, the next second I knew I was wrong, because as his shoulders shook, a strange laugh erupted from his mouth.
Yes, he wasn't crying, he was laughing, and that laughter was eerie, high-pitched, not at all like his usual voice!
Zhong Gong was anxious and said, "Be in charge!" I'm cāo, have I been turned over by the things in the demon mirror? ”
