Chapter 40: Discovery Add more to the butterfly

The legendary lantern of eternal light, the alchemy of the Taoist masters, of course I know what is going on, although I wonder how Brother Chengxin recognized it, but Lao Zhang's exclamation undoubtedly attracted my attention even more.

Let my mind be on the murals on both sides of the passage, not so much a mural, but a relief, compared to the blue-eyed fox sketched by a few large and small strokes outside, this relief is really gorgeous and vivid.

The reason why Lao Zhang will exclaim is because the mural is carved with a lifelike blue-eyed fox, in which the blue-eyed fox has three tails, with a charming and lazy demeanor, but there is an indescribable spirit.

Underneath the fox are groups of people dressed in strange costumes, who are now worshipping the blue-eyed fox and offering tribute.

And this tribute was a few unusually handsome looking teenagers, who were tied up and fixed on a huge wooden shelf, and respectfully presented to the blue-eyed fox by several leaders of the strangely dressed people.

I don't know if the reliefs are too realistic in pursuit, but on these perhaps documentary reliefs, everyone is so vivid, just like the boy who was offered, the despair and fear on his face.

For example, those strangely dressed people all wore a strange mask, and the strange expression of the mask was so expressive.

I looked at the mural in a daze, and I always felt that something was very wrong in it, for example, those people who were dressed strangely always seemed to be in abnormal proportions, and what shocked me even more was the strange mask, which I always felt very familiar, but with my excellent memory, I am sure that I have never seen such a mask.

"Chengyi, is there really a blue-eyed fox, and it still eats people?" Lao Zhang asked me nervously, as if a student who had finished the college entrance examination was nervously asking about his test results.

I understand this feeling, because my answer will completely determine whether he is still secure in the world?

I looked at Lao Zhang, and said with a calm smile: "Of course it's fake, these should be ancient people, you see that their costumes don't belong to any dynasty in our history, people at that time were superstitious to the extreme, and the murals of sacrifice are not uncommon in many archaeological discoveries, and our Chinese people have always believed in a lot, for example, some villages worship a tree or something, what's so strange about exaggerating the murals of sacrificing foxes?" ”

Actually, my tone is calm at the moment, but my heart has set off an earth-shattering wave, when Lao Zhang said that it still eats people, I suddenly remembered a mural I had seen in a closed underground space when I was a child, it was a group of people sacrificing a big snake, of course the big snake was not important, because when I saw it, it was already a pile of cold bones.

The key is that location, which is the Hungry Ghost Tomb that I once explored, and in the Hungry Ghost Tomb, I once pried off a piece of ancient jade, and an angry, demonic face was carved on that ancient jade, and when I looked closely, it seemed to be laughing again, laughing at something, and then I handed it over to the master, and the master once asked Yang Sheng to investigate

These things are not critical, because later we have confirmed that the face is Xiao Chengqian, the symbol of Lin Chen's organization, and I didn't pay attention to it anymore, what do they use as the organization logo, what does it matter to me?

But now, I can't help but care, because the masks worn by the people in the reliefs in the paintings are like, as if I had tried to organize my thoughts, and finally found a suitable word to describe it, and that is the opposite!

The symbol on that piece of ancient jade was an angry demon face, and the strange expression on that mask was a mocking human face, the human face corresponded to the devil's face, and anger corresponded to ridicule.

The most important thing is that kind of ridiculous expression, you look closely, and there is a different kind of anger contained in it!

What the hell is going on? Does it still echo the tomb of the hungry ghost? My mind was a little messy, and I couldn't figure it out.

And Lao Zhang, after getting my answer, felt a lot more relieved, and stopped paying attention to those murals, which turned out to be exaggerated and false, what is there to see? Lao Zhang is a direct person, and his curiosity comes quickly after being answered.

Old Ghost Wu was impatient and urged: "Chengyi, hurry up, what's so beautiful about these paintings?" Let's hurry out and maybe we'll find some gold and silver treasures. ”

"Gold and silver treasures?" I can't react to it.

"Nonsense, don't you think we accidentally entered a gorgeous tomb? How normal is it to have gold and silver treasures? "Old Ghost Wu is really a 'sincere' person, and his preference for women and treasures is not disguised.

But this is a big tomb? Funeral treasures? I think Wu Laogui's judgment is really unreliable, according to my thoughts, this may be an 'old nest', but what is the 'old nest' of things, I haven't got an answer yet.

At the urging of Wu Lao Ghost, Lao Zhang walked to the front, and Ruxue also walked in front, she didn't care about everything here at all, I was trying to adapt to her 'wrong', so that I didn't ask anything at this moment, in this kind of place, although this adaptation made me quite uncomfortable.

Brother Chengxin and I walked side by side, deliberately pulling me to rub around, I knew that he had something to say to me, and I also cooperated with him, pretending to look at these murals.

These murals are gorgeous, but the content of the successive pictures is very cruel, there are those sacrificed teenagers who are digging out their hearts and lungs, and there are blue-eyed foxes enjoying the carefully 'cooked' internal organs of young people, in short, the whole process is a sacrificial process, as if this is the 'great feat' of the blue-eyed fox, worthy of worship.

"Something is wrong like snow." Brother Chengxin said to me in a low voice while looking at the mural.

"I know." After all, this is all too obvious.

"Ever-bright lights, you know? Once, my master said that he had participated in the excavation of a large tomb, and he had seen the lantern with his own eyes, and he came back to give me a detailed description of it, so I could recognize it. Brother Chengxin said to me quickly, Ruxue, Lao Zhang, and Wu Lao Ghost, who were walking in front, did not look back at us, but it does not mean that we have time to talk and exchange opinions here.

"The point?" I was worried about Ruxue and didn't want to get too far away from her.

"The point is that in the legends of the West, there is a warlock, called an alchemist, who is really capable, and has refined a lot of strange things, and our Eastern Taoists also love to refine what to refine, the lamp oil of this ever-bright lamp is refined by a Taoist priest with great means, and the lamp can not be extinguished for thousands of years, but only in the tombs of distinguished people can have this thing, and those that have been excavated have long been taken to study by relevant departments, the key is that you think Taoist priests will serve monsters?" Brother Chengxin pointed out his suspicions in a few words.

What exaggeration and the like are just my words to comfort Lao Zhang, Brother Chengxin is my fellow disciple, naturally I will not believe in this set, and even we think that 'existence is reasonable', some magical murals left by our ancestors, or reflect an era.

Of course, the monster is the blue-eyed fox, the Taoist priest is much more selfish than the great monk, but he also has to wear a big hat of 'Demon Removal and Guardian Dao', after all, the way of heaven is still on the right path, and it conforms to the way of heaven, no matter what, there must be a bottom line of justice in the bottom of my heart.

The topic raised by Brother Chengxin is obviously very crucial! I was a little shocked, but I calmly swiped my fingers over the mask worn by a strangely dressed person on the relief, and said, "Look at this mask, what do you think is impossible?" Think about that crazy bunch, right? For example, Lin Chen's group, the ghost market cultivators, and the group of people who refine ghosts. ”

"Masks?" Brother Chengxin saw that his mind was more transparent than mine, and I was a little better, of course he saw the problem, frowned slightly, and then smiled, then snorted, and said: "I smell a conspiracy, or a conspiracy that has been circulating for a long time!" We thought it was simply going into the old forest to find ginseng, but we didn't think that this was fate. ”

Yes, this is fate, which pulls us step by step, and the accidental behavior can be attributed to the regularity of fate, such as the entangled organization, such as Kunlun!

"Look at Ruxue, something is going to happen to her, if you don't say anything else, you don't have to face me, after all, it was my former goddess, it is a man's responsibility to protect women, I didn't do a good job." After Brother Chengxin said this, he strode forward.

I know what he said, the most painful thing in his life is that Shen Xing almost died on his back, so many pains, regrets, and guilt, how can I say it in a few words? But no matter what, no matter how miserable you are tortured in the middle of the night, the next day, when the day dawns, you still have to be strong and alive.

Therefore, the Tao said, refining the mind, and the Buddha said, let go
