Chapter 59: The Prophecy Mural
"No, it must not be like this......"
Long Xiaoman looked very panicked, and refused to believe anything, "Something must have happened at that time, the Xuanmen family, at least our Long family would never do such a thing!" β
I didn't continue, because I was just speculating that everything was unknown until there was no definite evidence, and the only way to solve this mystery was to go back and ask Long Zhiyuan.
Silaβ
As he spoke, he suddenly heard a noise in the alleyway, like the sound of something being torn.
Long Xiaoman and I hurriedly ran into the laneway, the light in the laneway was very dark, and there were many curves, but fortunately there were no forks, otherwise we would have to get lost.
Long Xiaoman and I were drilling around inside, and when we came to a corner, I saw something fall in front of me with a snap.
When I stepped forward, it turned out to be a human skin!
And it is not difficult to see from the dress that this human skin is the glasses man Sun Fei, it seems that our previous guess is correct, he really has a problem! It may have been as early as when the wind poured into the cave when the number was reported, Sun Fei had already been killed, and was hollowed out by an unknown monster burrowing into his body.
Long Xiaoman found some traces of a fight next to him, and found some bloodstains, which looked like they had just flowed out and had not yet coagulated.
"Xiaohui is in danger!"
Long Xiaoman frowned and said, and then the two of us hurriedly continued to run forward, and after running for a while, two forks in the road suddenly appeared in front of us.
"Let's split up!" I looked at the two forks in the road and said.
Long Xiaoman shook his head, "No, if you encounter danger, you can't deal with it now!" β
"What then!"
I was worried about Xiaohui's comfort in my heart, and I couldn't help but get anxious, Long Xiaoman carefully observed the fork in the road for a while, and found a small nick in an inconspicuous position next to one of the intersections, as if someone had intentionally carved it.
"It should be the mark left by Xiaohui!" Long Xiaoman looked at the nick, "He must have encountered some emergency, so he didn't have time to wait for us, so he chased after him himself." β
"Then what are you waiting for, chase after it!"
As he spoke, the two of us ran to the fork in the road on the left, and not long after we ran, we smelled a very strong smell of blood.
I suddenly felt like I stepped on something and almost tripped over, but when I saw it, it turned out to be a human arm!
I hurriedly took a few steps back, and felt that I had stepped on something again, and when I looked again, it was the sole of a human foot!
"It's Luo Wu!"
Long Xiaoman recognized from the rag left on his arm that it was left by Luo Wu.
We took a few steps forward, and found many blurred pieces of flesh one after another, as if Luo Wu had been torn apart by something.
I feel my chest clogged, a group of college students in their prime, just gone?
"Don't be distracted, we're in a dangerous situation right now!"
Long Xiaoman saw that my expression was wrong, and seemed to see what I was thinking, so he hurriedly reminded me.
I took a deep breath and tried to keep my emotions calm, now the priority was to find Xiaohui and get out of here safely.
The alley is getting narrower and narrower, the light is getting darker and darker, and an invisible depression is shrouded in the surroundings, and the breathing sound of Long Xiaoman and I is particularly clear in the small space.
When we finally got out of the alleyway, we were already exhausted and panting.
"Look what that is!"
I found that not far ahead, there was a light blue halo, Long Xiaoman also saw it, and the two of us were side by side, cautiously approaching the halo.
When we saw the halo emitted by something clearly, Long Xiaoman and I were stunned at the same time.
In front of us, it turned out to be a huge octagonal blue jade, at least the size of a basketball court, and it was the first time I had seen such a large jade.
The first thought in my mind was to move this piece of jade out, and I would definitely make a fortune!
"There's something up there!" Long Xiaoman obviously didn't have the same intention of seeing money as me, and he quickly discovered something special.
When I looked at it, I found that there was a relief carved on the jade, the lines were very simple, but it could clearly express the content of the painting.
Walking around the jade, I found that all eight sides of this jade stone were carved with similar reliefs.
The first relief, depicting a group of people staying in a cave.
The second one depicts a group of people fighting as if they were fighting.
The third ......
"Why do these paintings look so familiar?"
When I saw the fourth painting, I suddenly realized that the content of these paintings was the same as the scene we had encountered in the past few days, first in the cave, and then in a hallucination fight......
And the fifth painting, carved a man and a woman crawling on the suspension bridge, Long Xiaoman and I, didn't we just come from the suspension bridge?
I started to feel my scalp tingle, and by the sixth painting, there was a man and a woman standing next to an octagonal stone.
Isn't that where we are now?
"It seems that someone knows our every move in advance!"
Long Xiaoman had already seen the clue, and said with a frown, "These paintings were engraved before, which proves that someone predicted our actions in advance!" β
"The prophecy mural?" A word popped into my head, and I couldn't help but feel a chill in my back when I thought that my every move was being secretly watched by others, and it was under the control of others.
Let's hurry to look at the seventh painting, the seventh painting has a lot of lines, carved with a dense group of bat-like things, chasing a man and a woman by a river.
I looked at this painting in a daze, but Long Xiaoman had already gone around to the other side to look at the eighth painting, I was just about to walk over, suddenly I heard a squeak, I turned my head to look, and saw a black shadow rushing towards me.
I quickly flashed to the side, and the black shadow slammed into the jade, leaving several scratches on the jade.
"It's a manta ghost!"
I recognized it at a glance, and then remembered the seventh prophecy mural I had just seen, and my heart shrank and I shouted, "Run!" β
As I shouted, there was a sudden uproar all around, and countless bat ghosts rushed towards us from all directions.
Long Xiaoman threw me to the ground, hugged me and rolled on the ground, and countless bat ghosts slammed into the ground and the jade.
In just an instant, it smashed that piece of jade into countless crumbs the size of corn kernels!
I suddenly remembered that there was a river on the seventh mural, between the lightning and flint, I didn't have time to think too much, I stood up and pulled Long Xiaoman to run with all my strength.
Countless bat ghosts are chasing after us, and two or three of these things are enough to tear a person apart, let alone so many, if we are caught up by these things, we may not even have bones left.
"Enter the alleyway!"
When I arrived at the entrance of the alley, Long Xiaoman pushed me in, turned around and kicked away a few bat ghosts, and then followed in.
The space in the alley is narrow, and the speed of the bat ghost has slowed down a lot, but the range of our activities is also small, and the situation is just as dangerous.
My physical strength has reached the limit, but the group of bat ghosts has no intention of retreating, and it is definitely not the way to go on like this.
Suddenly, I remembered the river, so I hurriedly called Long Xiaoman to run to the river, and when we reached the side of the dark river, we didn't have any time to hesitate and plunged headlong.
Syllable!
Falling on the water at a height of dozens of meters, the huge impact struck me to pieces, and I instinctively reached out and grabbed Long Xiaoman next to me.
We kept going down the water, and we heard a thud from above, presumably the bat ghosts crashing into the water.
But luckily those bat ghosts don't seem to know how to water, otherwise we really wouldn't have had any other way.
I pulled Long Xiaoman and was about to swim up to take a breath, but suddenly found that no matter what method I used, I couldn't float a little bit of it, and the water in this dark river was as if it had no buoyancy.
Countless bat ghosts also struggled to sink into the water.
This dark river is so deep that it seems to have no bottom, and Long Xiaoman and I have been sinking for a long time without reaching the end, and the huge pressure under the water makes me feel like I am about to suffocate.
Just as my consciousness was blurring, I suddenly saw a bright light swimming towards us in front of me.
Then I felt that my body was light, as if I was being held up by something, and I began to float upward, and my body had reached its limit, and finally I didn't know anything when it was dark in front of me.
When I woke up, I found me lying in a huge circular space, and Long Xiaoman woke up with him, and we looked at each other and let out an exclamation at the same time.
We were covered in slap-sized scales, the same shape as the one on my shoulder, but much larger.
Long Xiaoman picked up a scale from his body and looked at it, and said with a surprised face, "Could it really be that there is a dragon here?" β
I also wondered, remembering what had just happened, and suddenly slapped my thigh and said, "You mean, we were saved by a dragon?" β
As he spoke, he suddenly heard a whining sound in the distance, like some animal moaning, and heard the sound of rushing water.
But when we looked around, we didn't see any water at all, and we found that the space we were in was completely sealed, and there was no exit or import at all.
So how did we get here?
At this time, I suddenly heard a banging sound nearby, and when I turned my head to look, Long Xiaoman and I were collectively surprised.
I was surprised to see the dragon scales just now, but I didn't realize that in the middle of the space we were in, there was a circular stone platform the size of a basketball court.
The strange thing is that above the round stone platform, there is a bronze coffin suspended!
Bang bang bang!
The voice sounded again, and when I listened closely, I found that the sound actually came from the suspended copper coffin.
"There's someone inside!" I hurriedly shouted.
Long Xiaoman and I hurriedly ran towards the bronze coffin, and when we jumped on the circular platform, we suddenly felt that we had gained a lot of weight, and the platform under our feet was like a huge magnet, and it was particularly difficult to walk on it.
And the bronze coffin, which looks like it is at least a thousand catties, is suspended at a height of one meter out of thin air, which looks incredible.
I tried to pat the coffin gently, and after a few moments, I heard a faint voice from inside, "Help me......"
Hearing this voice, Long Xiaoman and I were startled at the same time.
It's Xiaohui!
