The former No. 1 in the rivers and lakes (Mu Haocang's past) Chapter 3: The weird mural of the three dragons
For the next part of the road, everyone basically walked with their heads down.
Jiang Zhiyuan, who was standing at the back of the line, looked at the remaining six people in front of him, and his heart set off infinite remorse.
He wondered if if it hadn't been for his own impulse at the time, and he agreed to the foreigner's conditions and formed this expedition, would not have happened in front of him.
While thinking about it, Luojing, who had been at the head of the team, suddenly stopped his progress.
When everyone saw this, they all stopped at the same time and stopped in place.
"We're back rounding up again!"
Ahead, the slightly hoarse voice of the falling well formation reached everyone's ears.
Everyone who heard this was also cold, and everyone showed a look of extreme despair.
That's right, they've been going around this dark cave no less than a dozen times since the incident just happened.
In such an environment, they have even lost the concept of time, and some are just cycles day after day, year after year, and that's it.
Everyone's physical strength seemed to be approaching its limit, but before Jiang Zhiyuan gave the order, no one dared to take a break.
Time passed minute by minute, and Luojing slowly walked to the stone platform on the side, slowly squatted down, and took down the lighter placed on the stone platform.
He shook his head helplessly at everyone, and then sat on the ground with a wry smile.
Seeing this, everyone first quietly looked back at Jiang Zhiyuan, who fell at the end of the team, and then they all sat on the ground like a well formation.
One of them saw that the atmosphere was really a little depressing, so he came to the side of the Luojing Formation and said in a low voice: "Vice Captain, what should we do now!" ”
Seeing Luojing, he first sighed softly, and then said in a rather calm tone: "If I had a way, I wouldn't have chosen to sit here stupidly." ”
While speaking, everyone except Paul and Jiang Zhiyuan also leaned over in the direction of the falling well formation.
"I don't know...... Have you ever heard the story of a ghost hitting a wall? ”
I saw Lao Liu first lit a cigarette, and then said slowly to everyone.
When several people saw this, they all looked at each other, and their words were stuck in their throats for a while, and they didn't hold back a decent fart for a long time.
And Lao Liu didn't seem to be in a hurry, I saw him first take a puff on the cigarette butt, and only after the cigarette circulated in his lungs did he exhale and spit it out.
"This ghost hitting the wall can be said to be exactly the same situation as what we are experiencing now."
Luojingzhen, who was still looking forward to Lao Liu's clever words, also waved his hand impatiently when he heard this: "I know this if you don't say it!" “
Seeing this, Lao Liu also laughed: "Don't worry, the point is not here!" ”
Luojing turned around and looked at Jiang Zhiyuan in the distance with an extremely worried gaze.
And Lao Liu didn't pay much attention to him, and continued to say to the people in front of him: "What kind of ghost is this so-called hitting the wall, to put it bluntly, it's just a few fools blindly circling in the dark. ”
Although Lao Liu's words are a bit straightforward, he does make sense when he thinks about it carefully.
Everyone nodded as if they didn't understand.
Seeing this, Lao Liu suddenly changed his words, and then asked in an extremely strange voice: "But do you really believe in the existence of such a thing as a ghost hitting the wall?" ”
Speaking of this, Lao Liu put down the cigarette in his hand and coughed lightly twice.
"As far as I know, there are two ways to crack this ghost wall."
I saw Lao Liu stretch out his two fingers.
"The first, and the stupidest, is to stay where you are and wait until dawn."
Lao Liu paused a little when he said this, then took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket and threw it in front of everyone.
"And this second is a metaphysical method that I have heard from my ancestors, in this section of the journey where the ghost hits the wall, everyone holds a lit cigarette, and then starts from the starting point every ten minutes in the dark, and slowly advances, and when the cigarette is burned out, everyone needs to go back to the starting place in turn to crack the array. But....... ”
Lao Liu helped his frame, and then suddenly lowered his voice and said: "But this is very risky, if someone turns on the flashlight in the middle of the way, or loses the sense of direction in the dark, it is said that they will be taken by the soul to a place where they cannot be reborn forever, and they will be completely reduced to a sacrifice of the soul." ”
Hearing this, everyone present felt a chill down their backs and shivered with sweat.
"There's no need!"
Suddenly, Jiang Zhiyuan's voice came from behind everyone.
Qi Shushu set his eyes in the direction of Jiang Zhiyuan's voice, but was surprised to find that he was lying motionless on his side on the ground at this time, and his right ear was firmly attached to the ground full of rubble.
Just when everyone was puzzled, Jiang Zhiyuan on the ground suddenly changed his expression, and then his body instantly retreated a few steps back like a spring.
"Everyone, prepare your shovels! There seems to be something down here! ”
With Jiang Zhiyuan's order, everyone's hearts were all raised to their throats at this moment.
One of the big men in the team bore the brunt of the blow, only to see him first let out a low roar, and then his hands suddenly exerted force, and he plunged into the endless rubble with a shovel.
It felt like he had shoveled some big guy, but the strong man frowned slightly at first, and then looked at the position, stepped on the edge of the spade with one foot, raised his hand and picked it up hard, shoveling all the countless gravel aside.
Seeing this, Jiang Zhiyuan hurriedly crawled over, put the flashlight in his mouth, and tried his best to dig the gravel pit that appeared in front of him with his hands.
Lao Liu put the cigarette case in his trouser pocket, and his eyes did not leave Jiang Zhiyuan's direction for a moment.
As if feeling a little tired, Jiang Zhiyuan slowly stopped digging down with his bare hands.
wiped the beads of sweat on his head, and then turned his gaze to the crowd who were still watching the play from a distance.
"Everyone goes up together, this depth is obviously not enough!"
I don't know how long it took, but with the breaking of the last shovel, the falling well array was finally in a trance, and then one of them did not stand firm and was heavily planted on the ground.
What appeared in front of everyone at this moment was a mural carved with three dragons, but this mural did not appear on the ordinary wall, but at their feet.
In other words, the fresco has been buried in the ground by several layers of rubble.
If they hadn't worked hard to tear up all the rubble, the mural might not have seen the light of day until the end of the world.
Looking at the three giant dragons carved into the stone wall below, Jiang Zhiyuan also fell into contemplation at this moment.
First of all, what is the significance of these three dragons here?
Furthermore, why did such a stone tablet with an image engraved with an image appear at their feet?
Just looking at these three dragons, there is actually no difference.
Judging from the style of this carving, it gives people a very modern feeling.
Throughout the sixteen volumes of Feng Shui secret techniques, only one volume of "earth" is related to dragons.
Interpreting the direction of the earth, mountains, rivers, and rivers to determine the specific location of the dragon veins is the main content of this volume.
But these metaphysical objects do not seem to have any essential connection with the murals that appear in front of them.
is such a place where the autumn is dark and the birds don't shit, Jiang Zhiyuan doesn't believe that there is any bullshit feng shui.
Just as Jiang Zhiyuan and the others were thinking, they only heard a faint roar in the distance.
When everyone heard this, they were all shocked, and they all turned on their flashlights in a panic and shone them towards the source of the sound.
But this light is too dim, even the strong flashlight in the hand of the falling well array can't break through the endless darkness.
As the sound got closer and closer, everyone also turned off their flashlights, and the moth bat last time really left a big shadow on their hearts.
In the dark, everyone was stiff and panting.
Suddenly, the sound stopped, and silence seemed to return to the surroundings.
Luojing slowly took out a camera from his backpack, and just as he was about to turn on the night vision function, a piercing cry suddenly sounded around him.
Everyone looked behind them in horror at this moment, and the miserable cry seemed to come from among them.
At the moment when the voice sounded, the big man closest to the pit was also frightened, and the flashlight came out of his hand and fell to the edge of the pit at once.
The big guy reached out, trying to get the flashlight back.
At the moment when he poked his head out, he stumbled upon the mural below.
To his great horror, the mural with the three dragons had now been transformed into three ugly and large black bats.
Not only that, but the bottom of the pit, which should have been pitch black, suddenly emitted a faint dark purple light from nowhere.
The faint purple light shone on the stone slab where there were three giant bats at this moment, and there was an indescribable weirdness in this scene.
Although the big man is usually bold, he was still startled when he encountered such a supernatural scene, and the hairs on his body suddenly exploded.
Before he could get up and step back, the cry of a baby suddenly sounded in his ears.
The body reflexively retreated towards the pit, but accidentally retreated and fell.
With a heart-rending "help" sound, the big man fell into the pit with a flashlight.
At this time, Jiang Zhiyuan seemed to hear the cries for help of the big man, turned around and looked into the pit, but was surprised to find that the stone slab that was still sealed below had cracked a big crack slightly.
The biting cold wind came up from below and hit Jiang Zhiyuan's face, making it difficult for him to even breathe for a while.
Since there is wind, it indirectly means that there should be a large area below at this time.
Jiang Zhiyuan, who has many years of experience in exploration, naturally knows what the wind that blows up means.
I saw him lying on the spot and roughly estimated it, and made sure that the size of the gap was absolutely enough for anyone to enter.
Thinking of this, Jiang Zhiyuan also turned sideways slightly, and then began to loudly call everyone to jump under the deep pit.
It didn't matter whether they heard it or not, they jumped into the endless darkness.
