After suddenly discovering a faint five-finger scratch on Wu Qing's calf, my heart was bright, and I was almost certain that Wu Qing would fall at that time. It must have something to do with the strange hand that suddenly stretched out from the blood on the ground. At this time, I didn't say anything, but stood alone and pondered quietly. Why is the sudden appearance of a strange hand inseparable from liquids such as water or blood?

And whose face is it that suddenly appears in the water? Could it be something to do with the strange things we're across?

Just when I lowered my head slightly, frowned, and thought hard about the answer, Li Mengzhu gently touched my body with her elbow, I looked up at her, she stretched out her hand, and followed her finger I saw, at this moment. Shen Xiaoxi and several girls were walking into the cave, and it seemed that there was still a lot of space in the cave that had not been explored. Li Mengzhu seemed to mean that he would follow them over and take a look.

Soon, the footsteps of Li Mengzhu and I echoed in the cave, and the more we walked inside, the more I could feel the temperature around me gradually getting cooler, coupled with the storm outside, and I had just been drenched in the rain again, so Li Mengzhu and I couldn't help but shiver at this time, and our movements involuntarily accelerated, intending to use the heat generated by exercise to fight against the cold after soaking.

At this time, Shen Xiaoxi, who was leading the way in front, suddenly stopped. The beam of the flashlight shot at the cave wall three meters away, and everyone's eyes immediately followed, and soon they all found that it was on that wall. One after the other, several uneven figures are carved side by side. Li Mengzhu and I walked in and found that the figure was very three-dimensional, although I don't know how to get it out, but look at the carving person, the knife skill seems to be very powerful, the figure appears thin and three-dimensional, the most wonderful thing is that this figure seems to rise and fall with the light of the flashlight, the light is not strong, and the darkness is not good, otherwise the whole picture of the graphic is like being completely destroyed. I can't see exactly what I'm trying to say.

Later, Shen Xiaoxi chose a very clever angle, so that the intensity of the light hitting the wall was just right. Suddenly, accompanied by Shen Xiaoxi's movements, an incomparably clear and lifelike picture was like from the wall. Instantly floating, this visual difference makes us feel as if the painting has "come to life", moving from the inside out.

Wu Qing is okay with science, but she obviously doesn't know much about this kind of art on the wall, so she asked at this time, "Sister Shen, is the painting on this wall a relief?" ”

Shen Xiaoxi nodded and exclaimed, "This author's sword skills are really amazing, and every detail is perfectly displayed!" But it didn't take long for her brow to furrow more and more closely she observed. It seems that Shen Xiaoxi has a certain amount of research on reliefs, so no one bothered her at this time and let her continue to look at it.

After a long time, Shen Xiaoxi finally said in confusion, "It's too strange......"

Li Mengzhu asked, "Sister Shen, what's the matter?" ”

Shen Xiaoxi said, "If you look carefully at the graphics of the first painting, the lines fluctuate greatly, and the relief itself can be brought alive by the drive of light and shadow, and even with every rotation of the light, it can give the picture a subtle undulation, which is a typical line-engraved relief, which is a perfect combination of painting and sculpture." However, in the middle of this picture, the three-dimensional sense is very strong, and it is obvious that the technical method of thin relief is used, which is mainly based on lines, supplemented by surfaces, and combines lines and surfaces, and the depth should only be 2~5 mm on the one hand, so that there will be a three-dimensional effect...... However, the depth of this relief is more than three centimeters, and the surface of the wall is not very flat, I can hardly imagine that anyone can make use of the concave and convex points of the wall on a cave wall that is not flat, and turn certainty into merit to create such a wonderful relief. ”

I thought for a moment and said, "You mean, this relief can't be carved by man?" ”

Shen Xiaoxi nodded, "I was born in a family of artists, I know this aspect very well, it can be said that I have seen the top works of top masters since I was a child, and as I grow older, my understanding of relief is becoming more and more profound...... It doesn't look like it came from a human being! ”

Wu Qing was stunned and said, "Sister Shen...... Do you mean that this relief in front of you was not made by humans? ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone felt that the wet clothes on their bodies were cold, and the feeling of coldness became more and more obvious.

Shen Xiaoxi said expressionlessly, "I don't rule out that there are relief masters hidden in the folk, but even if they are masters, it is impossible to make such a picture." It's like asking you to build a rocket with two chopsticks, do you think you can build it? ”

Wu Qing stopped talking. In fact, Shen Xiaoxi's analogy may not be appropriate, but everyone present understood it at once. However, I feel that no matter who made the relief in front of me, there is no practical point in digging into the bottom of the problem, and the most important question we should be figuring out now should actually be...... What is the meaning of this relief figure? Why is it carved in this cave in front of you?

Later, after I reminded him, Shen Xiaoxi also felt that the angle of his thinking about the problem was indeed a little off, but in fact, this is also human nature, after all, Shen Xiaoxi was born in a family related to relief. He is a private talent.

It didn't take long...... Six of us, with twelve eyes, all cast their brushes on the relief, trying to find out the characteristics of the relief's shape.

As far as the eye can see, arranged from left to right, there are a total of seven reliefs.

The first relief is a very round ball, which can express so many meanings that we will call it a "round ball".

The second relief is also a ball, but in an oval shape. It's also a bit like a pear? Let's call it "Yali Ball" first.

The shape of the third relief was recognized for a long time, and I didn't even see what it was, but in the end Shen Xiaoxi said that this was a box. After saying that, she looked at me a few times unexpectedly, and I couldn't help but remember what she had said to me near the cliff before.

"The box had a very strange shape, it was neither square nor round, but octagonal, with a ground protruding 8 centimeters at the bottom, and something like a wire."

At this time, when I saw the third relief, I finally understood what Shen Xiaoxi meant. Indeed, this octagonal box looks a little too strange, and anyone who can make such a thing must have even more strange ideas in their heads.

The fourth relief has an even more eccentric shape. Chiyo said it looked like a frog, Li Mengzhu said it looked like a fish, Su wanted to think like a baby fish or crocodile, and Wu Qing said it looked like a water plant or some other plant. At this moment, just as each of them was expressing their opinions, I sneaked my gaze over the wall from where they were standing. Then I found a very strange situation, that is, from Chiyo's point of view, it does look like a frog, and from Li Mengzhu's point of view, it looks like a fish!

And so on!

Standing at different angles, you can indeed see different shapes under the change of light, no wonder Shen Xiaoxi said that this relief is not something that any master in the world can carve, because it involves complex light and shadow, iconography and geometry!

After arguing for a while, we turned our gaze to the fifth relief. This relief is very simple, just a few simple wavy lines and raindrops, so we quickly deduced that the meaning of this relief should be liquid, water or something.

The sixth relief is a man.

A person lying quietly on his back, looking like he was asleep, or rather...... Dead person.

The last relief is very scary and weird.

It looks like a cloud of water, tightly wrapped around a person.

We can't help but be horrified to watch, and all kinds of pictures are made up in our minds. Everyone watched it for a long time, and finally Su wanted to be the first to break the deadlock and said, "This looks like a water burial!" ”

Chiyo also nodded and said, "It should be a water burial." ”

Shen Xiaoxi's brows furrowed and he didn't say anything. Li Mengzhu looked at me and did not express an opinion. Although I didn't know what the last picture was trying to convey at this time, I didn't think it should be a water burial. The reason is that this picture is placed at the end, and if you think about it, why are these pictures connected? Is it in order? If it is combined, it should be a complete picture, and it is far from being as simple as a water burial.

Otherwise, if it is really a water burial, you can carve the last two directly, and anyone can understand it, so there is really no need to make it so troublesome.

But what does it mean that the seven images are linked together?

I thought about it for a long time, but I couldn't think of a reasonable answer, and Shen Xiaoxi was the same. I don't know how long it took, Shen Xiaoxi was obviously a little impatient, and he slapped the wall hard in a very irritable mood, and shouted, "What do you mean?" Annoying! ”

As soon as her palm touched the wall, she heard a crisp sound of "card rubbing", and the wall suddenly rotated inward 90 degrees, and a dark corridor was opened!

This sudden change made everyone stunned!

I didn't expect that there was a hidden mechanism in this cave, and there was no cave!

Everyone's eyes immediately fell into it, but after looking at it for a long time, it was dark inside, and nothing could be seen, as if there was some kind of danger hidden.

What do you see when you walk down this hallway? What can you find? Is it an instant gateway to hell, or a direct journey to heaven?

Nobody knows.

It's all about our choice!

Things have developed to this moment, and even Shen Xiaoxi doesn't know what to do, because every thing we encounter has no answer, and everything is so weird!

Later, Shen Xiaoxi took a flashlight and shone it inside for a long time, but still found nothing. There was a hesitant expression on his face.

It was quiet, the atmosphere was oppressive and terrifying, and everyone was waiting for her to give orders.

I felt that there was no way to go on like this, so I could either turn around and walk out of the cave, or rush in and take a look to see what was inside.

In an instant, I secretly made a decision.

"I'll go in first and take a look, you guys wait outside, if there's really any danger, you run immediately!"

Shen Xiaoxi seemed to want to say something, but my people had already rushed into the dark stone wall with the door wide open!
