Du Qian walked to the other wall and reached for the two oil lamps hanging on the wall. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 At this time, he found that the two oil lamps on the wall were hanging on the two protruding eyes of an iron mask, and the mask of this protruding eye looked very much like the silkworm mask on the altar of his own Yang Qiang tribe.

Du Qian looked at the mask carefully, puzzled.

"Du Gongzi, have you gotten the oil lamp?" Yi Dan asked.

Du Qian came back to his senses and said, "Oh, okay, I'll take it off." ”

Du Qian took down one of the oil lamps, sent it to the iron prison, and placed it in front of Yi Dan.

Yi Dan used the light of the oil lamp to cut the rusty chains on the women's legs. The women were so excited that they wept bitterly and hugged each other.

Na Qiao'er looked at her free legs, and said with a happy face: "Great, thank you! May I ask Sister Yi, do you know how to get out of here?"

Yi Dan said: "I don't know, we also came here unintentionally." ”

Qiao'er said, "What can we do about this? We don't know how to get out of here." If after a long time, the demon finds out, it will be bad. ”

Yi Dan looked around and sighed, "This was originally the place where the Jinghai Festival envoy sent that Zhen Zhen to watch over the opponents. Unexpectedly, he pretended to be public and private, and secretly did such a despicable and shameless thing, what kind of sickle gentleman, it is really a human-faced beast, and it is extremely hateful. ”

Qiao'er said: "At the beginning, we were all deceived by his humble and gentlemanly appearance, thinking that he was a good person and came to save us, but I didn't expect him to..."

Yi Dan said: "Forget it, Miss Qiao'er, don't think about the past anymore." We must find a way to go out and settle accounts with that hateful Zhen Zhen. Oh yes, how did Zhen Zhen get here before, do you know?"

Qiao'er pointed to the hazy distance, where Yi Dan and Du Qian landed just now, and said, "I remember that he came down through the lifting pillar over there every time. But this pillar seems to be controlled only from above, so every time he comes down, there are people guarding it. ”

Yi Dan muttered in his heart: "No wonder, this Zhen Zhen is so insidious and vicious, he is willing to share this place with his apprentices, it turns out that this is because of this." ”

Yi Dan led the women to the foot of the huge pillar. She looked up at the stone pillar with an oil lamp, wondering how to get up from here.

At this time, Du Qian retreated to the place where he had just taken off the lamp. He pondered the mask of the bulging eyes on the wall.

Yi Dan and Du Qian were still beside her, she looked at the pillar, drew her sword and said, "Du Gongzi, don't you see that this stone pillar is too thick?

After Yi Dan finished asking, he saw that he did not get an answer from Du Qian. She hurriedly turned her head and found that Du Qian was in the place where she had just taken the oil lamp, and stopped to look up.

Yi Dan told Qiao'er and the rest of the women to wait in place, she walked in the direction of Du Qian, stood behind him, followed his gaze and asked, "Du Gongzi, what are you looking at?"

Du Qian was startled by Yi Dan's sudden voice, and after immediately reacting, he pointed to the mask on it and said, "I found something, you can also take a look." ”

Yi Dan asked, "Du Gongzi, what did you find?"

Du Qian pointed to the relief mask on the wall and said, "Miss Yi, look at this, doesn't it look like the mask hanging on the sacrificial pillar of our Yangqiang Mountain?"

Yi Dan looked at it carefully and said, "The mask is somewhat similar, especially this bulging eye. But why is this man's body so strange? It feels like a worm. ”

It turned out that underneath the mask was a very rough insect-like body, and if you didn't look closely, you really couldn't see it.

Du Qian replied, "I know." This mask is supposed to be a silkworm bush. ”

"Silkworm bushes?"

"That's right, because Silkworm Cong is the first king of Shu. He was the first person in the world to raise silkworms, so the Shu people worshipped him as the silkworm god. I think under this mask should be the body of a silkworm. Because the ancient Shu people like to shape his body as a silkworm. Du Qian speculated to Yi Dan one by one.

"I see, no wonder this carving looks so strange. Yi Dan said.

Du Qian said suspiciously, "But why did this mask appear here?"

Yi Dan took the oil lamp and looked at it closely, and found that there were two lines of words on the left and right sides of the mask, so he put his eyes together and said, "Du Gongzi, look, there seem to be words on both sides of this mask." ”

Du Qian stepped forward and looked at it and said, "That's right, there are really words." ”

Yi Dan put the oil lamp on the left line of text, and first read a sentence on the left: "A few pairs of feet are within reach." Then he shone an oil lamp on the line on the right side of the mask, and continued to read: "You have to achieve positive results and sleep for a long time." ”

After reading the two lines, Yi Dan doubted: "What do these two sentences mean?"

Du Qian looked at it and said, "I don't know, but listening to this tone, what question should I ask?" As he spoke, Du Qian continued to speak the sentence and read it again: "A few pairs of feet are close at hand, and you have to sleep a few more times..."

Yi Dan said suspiciously, "How many pairs of feet, how much sleep? What is the problem? Do you ask how many legs a person has? How many sleeps? It shouldn't be like that?"

Du Qian heard Yi Dan's words, and suddenly said, "Oh, thank you for the reminder." I know, let's not think about the first few words, we should think about the last three words?"

Yi Dan asked: "In the last three words, how many pairs of feet do you mean?

Du Qian said: "That's right, look at this mask, it's a silkworm mask, right?"

Yi Dan said: "Yes, it is very similar to the mask on the sacrificial table, it should be the mask of the silkworm cong." ”

Du Qian said: "Since this is a silkworm mask, and silkworm cong is the legendary Shu king of the ancient Shu Kingdom, this strange body should be the body of the silkworm confirmed to be correct." ”

"yes, didn't we already talk about this question just now?" Yi Dan said.

"That's right, if you just look at these pairs of feet and how much sleep you have, maybe we can't guess anything at all. But in connection with this mask. I venture to guess that this question may be asking about how many pairs of feet the silkworm has. ”

Yi Dan muttered: "There are several pairs of feet on the silkworm... How many pairs of legs does the silkworm have?"

Du Qian said: "If it were someone else, I'm afraid it would be difficult to answer accurately for a while, but our Yang Qiang people are the descendants of the ancient Shu people, and what has been inherited is from the ancient Shu country, so we know the habits and appearance of silkworms very well." Ordinary silkworms, the front, middle and back add up, a total of eight pairs of legs. ”

Yi Dan said: "Then what do you mean by how many dormants are in the back?"

Du Qian said: "This is better understood. During the growth process of silkworm babies before spinning, they will experience several dormancy. The silkworms raised by ordinary people have gone through four dormants before they begin to shine and spin. ”

Yi Dan asked again: "That's eight pairs of legs, four dormant, right?"

Du Qian said: "That's right, that's it." ”

Yi Dan asked again: "Then we guessed correctly, what is the mystery?" After that, Yi Dan carefully examined the two lines of text. You can see that there is an arrow facing the left under the left line of text, and under the right text, there is also a small arrow facing the right direction.

Yi Dan said: "Du Gongzi, look, there are arrows on both sides that seem to point to something, do you know what this means?"

Du Qian looked at the two small arrows suspiciously, and knocked them on the left and right sides with his hands, and heard a few hollow sounds, but there was no movement.

Yi Dan said in surprise: "It's empty, it seems that there may really be a mystery in it." ”

"But I knocked on it, and there was no response. Du Qian said.

The clever Yi Dan saw the above two sentences and suddenly said: "Since there is a problem on it, let's guess it." I think maybe eight times on the left and four times on the right. Or shall we try again?"

"Wouldn't it? How could it be so simple?" Du Qian said.

"Won't you know if you try it?" Yi Dan said.

"Alright then, I'll try. After that, Du Qian knocked eight more times on the left side of the arrow and four times next to the arrow on the right, but there was still no movement.

Du Qian said disappointedly: "It seems that I guessed wrong, maybe this is just an ornament, and it doesn't have any practical meaning." ”

Yi Dan said: "Since this mask is only known to you Yang Qiang people, I think it has something to do with you Yang Qiang people. We might as well take a closer look, shall we?"

After Du Qian tapped on the left side with his hand, he bypassed the protruding eyes of the mask and knocked on the right wall: "Look, I knocked on the left and right, but there was no reaction, I think this is really just an ornament, right?"

"Have you knocked it all?" Yi Dan asked.

"Yes, I've knocked it all, but I didn't knock this eye. Du Qian said.

Yi Dan heard Du Qian say this, then looked up at the mask and said, "Maybe this mystery is hidden in this pair of eyes." ”

Du Qian said: "Eyes, how can you knock on these eyes?"

Yi Dan said: "We have all forgotten one thing, this eye also has to be divided left and right." ”

Du Qian said: "That's right, but these eyes..."

Yi Dan said: "It doesn't have to be knocked, maybe there is some other way." ”

Du Qian said: "But the eyes of the ancestors of the silkworm cong were originally like this, so what are we going to do now?"

Yi Dan stretched out his hand and first pressed it where his eyes protruded, but nothing happened. With a little more effort, she tried to break her eyes to the left and right.

Suddenly, I felt that the protruding part of my left eye had been moved a little to the left. Yi Dan said excitedly: "Great, I can really break it." ”

With that, Yi Dan continued to break to the left seven times. Then, immediately after that, he threw the right bulging eye four times to the right.

"Boom...", with a loud bang. The entire wall where the mask was located retreated inward. At this moment, an empty and mysterious secret room appeared in front of the two.

Yi Dan and Du Qian looked at each other in disbelief.

"Oh my God, I didn't expect this mask to hide a mystery, should we go in and have a look?" Du Qian asked.

Yi Dan nodded and said, "Well, let's go and have a look, maybe we can find another way out." ”

Yi Dan carried the oil lamp and walked cautiously in front. And Du Qian also followed closely and entered the dark and mysterious secret room together. (To be continued.) )
