Chapter 42 Ancient Road Murals

Seeing the color and appearance of the fire on the Taoist nun, I realized that the body of the Taoist nun was covered with corpse oil.

"Corpse oil" is when the body is highly decayed and the fat turns into oil and overflows outside the skin. Generally, fat people have more "Corpse oil" after death. They can often be seen on untreated corpses for several days in summer. If a wizard living in remote mountainous areas in northern Thailand knows that there is a baby in the village that has died, he will take the initiative to negotiate with the baby's parents, buy the baby's corpse with money, and then refine the corpse oil to assist him in performing some evil tricks or inferring the head.

However, the nun's body did not show any signs of decay, but it was covered with corpse oil all over her body. This situation was obviously contrary to her usual cognition, and now she has no time to study this matter. As soon as I pulled my teeth, I took the lead and ran to the water tank over there. While running, I shouted at the big teeth: "Don't fix that door, come over quickly and see if the tank here can rotate."

According to the same method, the tank could still be rotated, and after the method was made. With the sound of "crying...crying...crying", another secret door appeared in the same position in the north wall of the room. Seeing this, Daya and I turned sorrow into joy. We had the joy of living in a desperate situation. We didn't care whether there was any danger. Daya bent down and walked in first. I picked up the candlestick and followed Daya into it.

As soon as I stepped out of this door, I felt the wind blew straight into my bones, as if I had fallen into an ice cellar, and I had a few cold wars one after another. My coat was honorably executed just now, and now I only wore a wool sweater. I felt cold from head to toe, my whole body was cold, trembling, and trembling.

After trembling for a few times, my head became much clearer. I held the candle and sang around and found that this time we were finally trapped in the house. It looked like a tunnel, and the wind stretched out into the distance. The range of candlelight was limited and I couldn't see it clearly. In addition, the wind here was very strong, and the candlelight swayed and almost went out several times.

Although I don’t know where this tunnel leads, whether it is good or bad, I am no longer so sad and anxious. The fear is very strange. The most terrible thing is not to encounter beasts like lions or tigers, but to be a simple repetition. Just like when you wake up at night and go to the bathroom, when you find that no matter which door you push open, it is your own bedroom and you can’t find the bathroom, that kind of fear is even more terrifying than seeing beasts.

Daya and I stood there and listened carefully for a while, but we couldn't hear anything.

But since there is wind, it means that this road should not be a dead end. After looking at this cave, the dark and wintery ones can't guess how long it will be. I don't know how long it will take, and the candle in my hand is only less than ten centimeters. If there is no wind, it should be able to hold on for two or three hours. However, in this environment, it may have to burn out in one hour, so I simply blew out the candle in one breath, put it away carefully, and wait until it is important to use it.

Without the light, I really can't see my five fingers.

I patted the big teeth in front and told the big teeth to follow me behind and pay attention to the back. The wind here is strong and it is too waxy. This kind of environment candle is very precious, so it is better to save some use and wait until it is needed. We can only work harder and move forward in the dark.

Daya walked behind and asked me, "Lai Liang, where do you think this path leads to? You can't just escape from the demon's claws and enter the tiger's den again, right? I don't know how Liu Ye and those two children are doing, don't be like us..."

After hearing what Daya said, I was also a little worried about Liu Ye and the two children. While I looked at the road ahead carefully, I smiled bitterly: "Who knows where this road is open? Look at the traces of chiseling, it should have been dug up by man. It's not as good as the work done by a professional team, but like the work of some laymen. Now we are resigned to fate, so we should take one step at a time. I guess Liu Ye has entered the old man's house because we haven't moved for so long. I don't know whether it's good or bad. At least we haven't been to this place like us. We are also fucking blamed me and shouldn't talk too much about others."

Before I knew it, I could leave for about ten minutes. As I walked, I suddenly stopped. Big teeth were startled by me, so I quickly stretched my neck and looked forward, and was also a little stunned.

A fork in the road suddenly appeared in front of him, one left and one right, and the two holes lead to different directions.

Daya and I stood in front of the two holes and looked left and right, unable to make up our minds. After looking for a long time, Daya didn't see any name. He shook his head, shook his hand, and simply ignored it. It was said that life and death are fate, wealth and honor are in heaven, and everything is my mind. If I can't make up my mind, he will throw away the coins.

Since there are two roads, it means that these two roads should be a life road and a dead end. If both roads are all life roads or are all dead ends, it will not comply with the rules, so you can't make a mistake in the same road that you have to spend so much effort to repair the same road that you have to do with two things.

I looked in the hole for a long time, but I couldn't see any idea. The two holes were pitch black and there was no obvious difference. I don't know where they led. But fools also knew that it was impossible for both roads to lead to the ground. Just when I was at a loss, I suddenly had a flash of inspiration and came up with a solution.

I took out the half of the candle that had just left, and after lit it, the candlelight flickered and it flickered. I quickly put the flames with my hands. After the flames stabilized, I walked a few steps into the hole on the left, and then stopped moving. After the candlelight flashed a few times, it quickly stabilized and stopped jumping. I held the candle and walked a few more steps into the hole on the right, and then still stood still. The flames of the candle began to gradually tilt out of the holes, and the candlelight began to flicker again. Seeing this, I hurriedly called my big teeth.

Daya saw me walking around in a daze, without saying a word. He came over until he heard me calling him. As he walked, he asked me what was wrong and if I had discovered something?

I smiled and pointed at the candle flame with my fingers: "Look, look at this, the flame at the hole in the other side is straight, and the flame at the hole in the other side is crooked."

After staring at the flame for a while, Daya suddenly realized, rubbed her face, and nodded at me excitedly: "Okay, come on, you are so hidden, you are so sharp! The flames are blowing out of the cave, which means there is wind inside. It should not be a confined space, but air flows. Let's go this way."

I blew out the candle, carefully put it away, patted Big Tee's shoulder, and sighed: "Brother, I'm traveling around the world, and I'm a generalist in knowledge and knowledgeable knowledge. It's not like you have no ink and have no knowledge. You can't go to the front to lead the way."

Big Teeth talked a lot, nothing more than sayings that his wise man would have to make mistakes. I took off my coat and let him put it on, and carefully followed him with my arms. This road is always going up and down, turning left and right, and after walking about four or five hundred meters away, the front suddenly became clear. When I arrived in a hall, the air was fresher, and there was no turbid earthy smell like before, so I felt no longer so depressed.

I lit the candle again, raised it above my head, looked around, and walked around the hall.

I found that this place should be a stone chamber, square and circumferential, which is five meters square in size and about five meters high. There is a staircase that is diagonally opposite, and you should be able to continue walking forward. It is probably for moisture prevention. A layer of lime was sprinkled on the ground, and the walls around the stone chamber were painted with murals.

The murals on the wall look a bit like the legacy of the Tang and Song dynasties, with powder and gold patches, and the style is exquisite and rich. The characters in the paintings are vivid in their minds, beautiful in the scenery, and smooth and vigorous in their brushwork; the characters are well-drawn in their clothes, and the lines of flowers, bamboo and stone have been refined. I have been designing landscapes for so many years, and I have never seen such exquisite murals in my mind, and such well-preserved murals should be extremely rare.

Four huge narrative murals were painted on the four walls. The scenes in the painting were grand, the queues of people were neat and orderly, murderous and lifelike. The characters inside appeared vividly and were about to come out. Daya and I couldn't stop marveling. After watching for a long time, we studied for a while, and finally realized the general meaning.

We walked to the first mural, and the whole wall was painted with a scene of a war. From a distance, some cavalry groups surrounded the large army, and many soldiers were killed and lost their armor and fled, with blood flowing into a river, and the battle was fierce. From the banners raised by both sides, it can be seen that it was a fierce battle between the Later Jin and the Ming army.

Let’s look at the soldiers who are all powerful and the generals are all majestic. They should be Manchurian cavalry.

A powerful general was carefully drawn in the upper left corner, with a big green horse with a dragon face and a phoenix eye, a big body and ears, a handsome appearance, a dignified manner, and a slightest eyebrow. The two eyes were slightly opened under the thick eyebrows, but they seemed to shoot out two sharp and cold lights. Wearing an arrow suit, leather arms, iron wrist guards, fast boots, a large leather wine pot hanging around the waist, and a short iron cone drooping under his hands, majestic, energetic, and domineering.

Behind him, seven war horses were followed side by side. The general on the horse was not very clear, and he always felt a little strange, as if he was deliberately concealing something.

Big teeth stumbled and said to me, "Let's go, I guess this is the scene of Nurhaci's war. Needless to say, the man who painted so majestic and meticulously must be Nurhaci. There are exactly seven people following behind. Do you think it's the Seventh Duke of Xingdi?"
