Chapter five hundred and sixtieth amazing murals
When I heard the pattern that Cao Yingfei mentioned was not the same as the scene inside the Mirror Mountain Gate? It was also large inside and small outside. There were nine coffins outside, but there were countless coffins inside. But this place was empty, and I couldn't help but wonder, did everything in the Mirror Mountain Cave migrate from here?
This tunnel is not spacious. It seems to be just a channel connected to the ground, or perhaps for drainage. Because it is relatively humid here, water stains are clearly seen on the ground. It should be that every time the river water in and out is poured into it, it seeps into a water tank.
After walking west along this path for a while, he saw a stone staircase leading up, and the tunnel still stretched westward. Cao Yingfei stopped in front of the stone staircase and said that there was a small lake to go west, and the water flowing in from the cave was discharged there, and the water used daily was taken from this lake. On this stone staircase were two caves, large inside and small outside. After leaving this tunnel, he would not be subjected to the magic array set by Ye Xiaohun, and he could cast spells at will. However, there was a night demon beast guarding the small cave outside, and he told everyone to be careful.
This Ye Xiaohun must be the name of Sister Ye. Cao Yingfei mentioned it more than once, but he didn't ask questions. Now he followed him up the stone steps and asked, "Ye Xiaohun is that Ye... is it March 8?"
The word "March 8" may not have been thirty years ago. Cao Yingfei was stunned for a moment, but immediately guessed what I meant, nodded and said, "She is called Ye Xiaohun. The name shows how vicious this selves are, which makes people's souls separate and extremely scary. It's not because of happiness and sadness." As he said that, Cao Yingfei climbed to the end of the stone steps, and his head was already against the stone wall above.
He stretched out his hands and pressed the wall at the same time. I turned the headlight over and found that it was a carving like two tiger heads, protruding out of the stone wall. It turned out that there were two mechanisms. With a "click", a hole about a foot square was opened on the top of his head, which was just enough to accommodate a person. He waved his hand down, and I immediately understood what it meant, and took the flashlight from Dazui Rong behind him and handed it over to him.
He slowly poked his head out, took the flashlight and looked outside for a few times, and said softly: "There is no one outside, come up. But don't make any noise, so as not to alarm the night demon outside!"
When my friend heard the word "Ye Demon", he couldn't help but thrilled. The Ghost King once said that he used the eyes of the night demon to see the outside world in the underworld. It was just a pair of eyes, and the real Night Demon should not know how powerful it is.
Cao Yingfei went up first, and we climbed out of the hole one by one. He had already walked to the door leading out of the outside and carefully shone it out with a flashlight. Suddenly, his face changed drastically, and he hurriedly moved the flashlight back. We knew that we must have seen something terrifying, and we were about to ask, but he stretched out his index finger with his right hand and made a ban on his lips.
He tiptoed back, and the light shone on his wide eyes, looking very frightened. He whispered to us: "There is an evil spirit with a huge aura outside. I can't be sure whether it is a Night Demon, because I have never seen what the Night Demon is in my life. Let's see if there is any other way out here. If it really doesn't work, rush out!"
What is the Night Demon? I don’t know, but I heard from the Dead Girl, and only heard her say to me: “The Night Demon is not recorded in the secret art of Taoism, but I heard from the female devil that it is just a name for a hell demon, not a real evil spirit. It can be a ghost and fairy of any kind of interests. Its origin is a pair of eyes that the Holy Demon peeks into the outside world. Because it is very strange, it is called the Night Demon Eye. Therefore, there is no use of the Night Demon in the world."
It turns out that there is no such thing in the world. I think the evil spirits outside are evil spirits like mountain charms, or maybe they are mountain mandrills. However, mountain mandrills are powerful enough. Last time, one of them almost wiped out our entire army, so why don’t you go out and take risks. So I turned around and looked around. The cave area was very large, with the same layout as Mirror Mountain, but there was no coffin.
"It seems that there is a mural on the stone wall!" Xiao Ying pulled me and said.
I turned my head and looked along her finger. The stone wall on the right was colorful and looked like a picture. We walked over here and found that the entire stone wall was painted with oil paint. We looked at the first mural and couldn't help but be stunned. The painting was a scene of a funeral in ancient times. It was quite magnificent, surrounded by iron armored soldiers, and rushed to a barren mountain. We were so familiar with the shape of this mountain. It was Longtou Mountain!
We looked at each other. Isn’t this the scene when the owner of the Longtou Mountain ancient tomb was funeral? Why are there pictures recorded here? So we continued to look down with a hint of doubt in our hearts. The second mural is a sarcophagus transported from the top of Longtou Mountain into the underground palace, and sealed the tomb passage with huge stones such as broken dragon stone, leaving only the tomb door on the cliff. All those who entered the underground palace were killed, buried under the coffin platform, and then covered the burial objects and terracotta figurines. There were also several servants who were guarding the eternal lamp outside the city wall. However, in the underground palace inside the city wall, an old man bent down and took out a roll of bamboo slips from the coffin to read it carefully.
In the third painting, the old man was lying on the hospital bed outside the ancient tomb and handed a brocade scroll to a young man. Xiao Ying and I looked at each other again, and I vaguely guessed in my heart that the things on the owner's chest in the sarcophagus had been seen by this old guy, and they recorded a copy and passed it to his descendants. The story depicted in the fourth painting is the passage of this scroll from generation to generation, and finally it was passed to a general wearing armor who opened the scroll in the study and read it with a light.
The painter painted very well, the characters were portrayed vividly, and the expressions were vivid. We looked at this general carefully and then took a deep breath. This was very similar to the demon man in the Mirror Mountain Cave. This made me think of the buildings and treasures of the cave. It must be an ancient general with a very good background who had this kind of financial power. In other words, this was the people's wealth he used his status and military power to plunder, and it may also be the wealth plundered from the people during the war.
The murals behind us completely explain that this general is the demon in the cave of Mirror Mountain. After reading the scroll, he built a cave in Mirror Mountain, and then resigned from his post and retired to become an immortal. Of course, this is what we guessed. Cultivating immortals is impossible. It is estimated that what he cultivates is the secret of immortality. Later, he and his family and servants died one by one, and all were enclosed in the coffin room on the west side. Then he was resurrected, holding the torn scroll in his hand, and soared into the sky!
The content of the last mural is that this demon came to Paoma River and started construction of this cave at the bottom of the river. A big tree by the river, with fallen leaves floating at the roots, which immediately made us understand that this is the meaning of falling leaves returning to the roots, and that Paoma Rock is his hometown. After he was resurrected, he missed home and wanted to move back to live in seclusion.
