Chapter 621: Four-sided bronze statues
Can't get through!
The cliff is outward, facing the direction of the sea, and there seems to be an invisible barrier.
Chu He changed direction again and ran rapidly in the forest.
When they ran to the other end of the forest, almost to the shore, they also touched the closed barrier.
The sky was about to dawn, and Chu He thought of the picture he had seen with the moon's eye before.
He didn't know if the chosen demon would be attacked by the shadow, or if he would be in danger as long as he appeared in the forest during the day.
So to be on the safe side, I returned to the inn first.
By the time Chu He returned to the inn, the elephant bones that had been used as decoration in the hall had been removed.
Erected in the center of the hall is a tall bronze statue.
The bronze statue has four sides, carved with a total of four stiff faces, at first glance it seems to symbolize the four emotions of joy, anger and sorrow, but if you look closely, you feel weird.
The face that depicts joy looks like a sneer, and the face that represents anger is more like a cold killing.
The sad side seems to be gloating.
Fun side, with a hideous and crazy taste.
"What a quirky statue. And... When was it replaced?" Chu He turned into a rabbit spirit and walked cautiously in the hall.
Suddenly, I saw the happy side, and the bronze eyes rolled for a moment, and then made a sound of 'click' and 'click'.
"Hee-hee-he But the sound echoed through the empty hall, and after overlapping, the tail note became more and more eerie and permeating.
Chu He looked at the four-sided bronze statue, although it was completely different from the previous wooden door with a human face, but Chu He was sure that this bronze statue and the wooden door with a human face should have a common soul.
"It's just that why has his style of speech changed? Could it be that there is something special about this bronze statue that can change his character?" Chu He thought to himself.
"Who moved you here?" asked Chu He deliberately.
The question is vague, with several implications, and even a deliberate misinterpretation.
Unless this bronze statue is silent, it will always be able to leak a little bit of the information that Chu He needs.
"Hee-hee-hee, little rabbit, what nonsense are you talking about, didn't I move here together at last party?"
"Dinner yesterday?" habitually wanted to hook his eyebrows with his hands, only to find that his current image did not have eyebrows at all.
He put down his hand and rubbed his chin, which was considered to be dealing with the past.
The thought in Chu He's mind flashed again: "If the bronze statue is telling a lie, then it's not a big problem. But if he's telling the truth, then... It's a lot of fun. ”
"In all likelihood, the time inside and outside the inn is not equal at all. In this case, there are many conclusions that have been reached before, and they have to be recalculated at this moment. ”
The method of verification is also very simple.
Chu He ran out of the inn again, and the strange thing was that it was already daytime outside the inn, and the scorching sun was in the sky, obviously not the rising sun.
Return to the lobby again.
Although the bronze statue in the hall is still there, the face facing the door has been changed.
"Ahh Little Bunny! See you again! Last night's banquet was so lively... Alas... Why aren't you there?"
"Ahh Did you know that there was roast fox meat on the menu yesterday... What's so delicious about fox meat? Fortunately, no one chose it... I can't eat, but I can smell it. The bronze statue sighed and said to Chu He.
Chu He didn't pay attention to the bronze statue, and his mind was in a mess again.
Even the bronze statue mentioned the roasted fox meat, but he didn't bother with it for the time being.
"The time is really staggered! Then my moon eyes, through the moonlight, do you see the past and the future, or the staggered present?" Chu He ignored the bronze statue that had been talking to him, and chose to return to the room, waiting for the next banquet to begin.
When you get to the hallway at the door of the room, you look in the direction towards the end of the hallway.
The wooden door at the end was still there, but the face on the wooden door opened its mouth wide, revealing the entrance to a black hole.
Chu He stepped forward, but hesitated for a second before stepping in.
The entrance was dark, narrow at first, but the further you went inside, the more spacious it became.
When he reached the depths, Chu He suddenly found that the passage behind him had been closed.
And in this inexplicable space, there are many bronze statues on all sides.
When Chu He stood on top of a bronze statue and looked in the opposite direction of the bronze statue, he saw the scene of the banquet in the hall.
On the large table, there are eight huge braised pig's heads.
All sorts of demons shuttle through it, and then share the pig's head meat.
"It's... Past or Future?" Chu He looked at the picture he saw through the bronze statue in shock.
If you follow the normal timeline, this would be a scene that will only happen 'tonight'.
But, if nothing goes wrong, the timeline here is messy.
In other words, what Chu He sees now should be the past.
Chu He jumped a few more bronze statues.
What I saw separately was the same scene of the banquet.
At the same time, it also affirmed Chu He's previous speculation.
Although they entered the dungeon at the same time, the time point of entering the Demon Inn was not consistent.
For example, right now, Chu He saw that when the door of the inn was opened, a total of seven vicious wolves walked in in unison.
Just by looking at that temperament, you know that they must be the onmyoji of the seven island countries.
And such a scene was never seen on the night when Chu He first entered the inn.
The blockade of the demon island, the interlaced timeline of day and night inside and outside the inn, the strange demon contract, the mysterious and weird bronze statue of the wooden door, the owl king who is suspected of being a watchman, and the real purpose of Zhang Qixian's invitation... All these doubts are entangled together, like a ball of yarn that has lost its thread.
The more he knew, the more confused Chu He became.
The experience of dealing with problems in the past seems to be of little use at this moment.
In the final analysis, in the past, when dealing with problems, Chu He used people.
And right now, Chu He is facing strange questions one after another, and there are some demons that cannot be guessed with common sense.
"Wait... Chu He was stunned for a moment, and then slapped his head.
"Looks like I was wrong! Whether it is a human or a demon, they are all living beings, and if they are living beings, they will have desires. If you have desire, you can be used, and I'm a solo explorer to solve puzzles, isn't it just that I fell into the obstacle and didn't know it?"
"So... How do I get out now?" Chu He looked around again, the passage when he came had been blocked, and it didn't seem to be a good way to force it open, and it didn't seem to be a good way to get out.
At this moment, Chu He heard the sound of wings flapping.
When I turned my head, I saw a passage that suddenly opened, and the owl king was flying in.
