The three of us lined up in a row, and I took the lead and walked carefully all the way inside. When walking, I paid attention to my steps to see if there were any footprints left behind.
If Mr. Mai and the others had walked through here, so many people would have left footprints. However, the ground was very flat and there were no footprints at all. Maybe they really got separated. I don’t know what they are doing now.
So done.
This passage is not long and does not have any mechanisms. It is smooth all the way. We walked for less than five minutes and reached the end. What appeared in front of us was a dilapidated red wooden door, and it was not because of the
It is worn out because of serious damage, but it is due to the time and too much dust.
This wooden door has two doors, and there is a lion-shaped ring handle in the middle of each wooden door. This red wooden door looks very majestic, but it is also very evil, because the red wooden door is so eye-catching, and the entire wooden door
They are covered with large copper nails, which look a bit out of place in this cave.
"There is actually a wooden door here?" Jenny said, looking at the wooden door in front of her.
"What's so strange? Let alone the wooden door, I wouldn't be surprised if there is an aircraft carrier in this damn place." I really wasn't surprised at all, but I didn't know what terrible things were hidden behind the wooden door.
"I think so. The color of this wooden door is quite sinister. It's blood red." The big man touched the wooden door with his hand, turned to look at me and said.
"Well, it's better to be careful, open the door, and let's go in and see what's there."
I grabbed the handle on one side with my hand, and the big man was holding it on the other side. I signaled Jenny to step back ten meters away. Who knows what the hell is inside the wooden door. After she walked away, I asked the big man
Say, "Open the door."
The two of us exerted our strength at the same time. The wooden door was very heavy. The big man and I opened the wooden door bit by bit. When the wooden door just opened, a bunch of small moths flew out from inside.
It shocked me at the time, I thought it was those disgusting weird moths again, but luckily it wasn't, these were just ordinary moths, and they quickly flew away and disappeared.
After the wooden door was fully opened, the big man and I stood nearby with the diving knives in our hands ready and on high alert. However, after waiting for several minutes, nothing came out.
"Okay, come out. I don't think there's anything in there." Jenny said and walked over from a distance.
The big man and I walked out from behind the wooden door, "It's better to be careful. Let's go and take a look."
The three of us took out the fluorescent sticks. The light of the three fluorescent sticks should be enough. When we walked inside, we discovered that the space inside was not big. It was about the same size as a classroom. Except for
Apart from a tall tombstone opposite us, there was nothing else around and it was empty.
This tombstone is facing the gate. It is three meters high and more than one meter wide. It is the largest tombstone I have ever seen. The three of us walked to this tombstone.
The tombstone is off-white in color and very thick, at least twenty centimeters thick. It is engraved with dense words, but I can't understand any of these words. It's not traditional Chinese characters, but the words are simply
It's not Chinese characters, it's all characters of different lengths like small waves.
The big man said with emotion, "Mom, what a big tombstone. It seems that there really is a tomb here?"
I looked at the words on the tombstone and said, "What the hell are these words written on? I don't know any of them?"
The big man looked at it carefully and said, "This... which country's bird language is this? It looks similar to the current Arabic language?"
"Do you know Arabic?" I looked at the big man in surprise and said.
The big man said with a silly smile, "Pull him down, I don't understand, I just look like a hook and a circle."
Jenny stared at the text on the tombstone and said, "This... seems to be... ancient Persian."
"What did you say? Persian?" I have only heard of this kind of writing in movies, but I have never seen it in reality.
"Well, that's right, it's definitely Persian." Jenny looked serious, not as if she was joking.
"Do you understand Persian? Can you understand what is written on this tombstone?" I asked.
"I understand a little bit, but I can't understand what is specifically written." Jenny shook her head helplessly and said.
"Just look at whose tombstone this is?" This is the most important thing.
"young people."
"Who?" Suddenly, an old and hoarse voice sounded to my right, and I turned around sharply.
Jenny and the big man were also frightened by the sound. In a dark corner to our right, I vaguely saw a figure there.
"Who is there? Come out." I plucked up the courage and roared.
The figure walked towards us slowly, and stopped when he was only a few meters away from me. With the light of the fluorescent stick, I finally saw clearly who he was. He was actually the shriveled and mysterious old man.
He was still dressed in the same clothes, with disheveled hair, and his face was still covered with a piece of black cloth. Only his two eyes were exposed. His curved body looked like an old man who was about to become terminally ill. I knew he would definitely come.
Find me.
"So it's you." I couldn't say I was very excited at this moment, but I was somewhat scared. Every time I face this old guy, I feel a little bold.
"Old guy, stop pretending, believe it or not, I'm going to kill you right now." The big man pulled out his knife and shouted, before charging forward.
I quickly stretched out my hand to stop him, "Don't be impulsive, calm down." He might have died if he passed by, but the most important thing was that I needed to find out something about the situation from this old man.
Jenny pulled the big man back from behind and shook her head at him. Although the big man didn't move, he still didn't put down the knife in his hand.
"What do you want to do?" I asked, staring at the old man in front of me.
"Didn't I warn you and tell you to leave here? This is not the place you should be, so you should go back quickly." The old man's hoarse voice was frightening to hear. I have never heard such a hoarse voice.
, it doesn’t look like a human voice at all.
"Leave? Haha, if you hadn't released those damn red bugs, we would have left long ago. Not only did you kill two of our companions, but you also forced us to walk all the way here, and now you let us leave again.
Are you kidding?"
I stared at him coldly. In fact, I knew very well that he did not want to kill us. If he really wanted to kill us, he would not bother me.
"Hey... young man, if I really wanted to kill you, you would have died under the soul-destroying grass a long time ago. Why should I save you?" The old man sighed and slowly took two steps to our side.
said.
"As expected, you saved me. Why did you save me?" In fact, I had already thought that the strange sound was made by him, but I didn't understand why he wanted to save me.
"Haha, I have killed countless people in my life. The reason why I saved you is because I don't want to see you being used by traitors and keeping you in the dark about the truth." The old man looked at me sideways and spoke in a louder voice.
"Old man, what are you talking about? You old man, I think it's all your fault." The big man pointed at him with the finger holding the knife and cursed.
The old man stared at the big man and said with a murderous tone, "Young man, you insulted me twice in a row. I didn't care about you these two times, but if you dare to say another word, I will kill you."
.”
"You..." The big man was still about to curse, but I immediately interrupted him, "Shut up, Jenny, keep an eye on him and don't let him talk anymore." I was really afraid that the old man would kill him if he got angry.
, I knew very well that he was already angry.
"If you want me to believe you, you have to at least let me know who you are, right?" I stared at him, feeling that the truth of the matter was not far away from me.
"In this case, there is no need for me to hide it anymore. In fact... you have already met me." As the old man spoke, he slowly took off the black cloth from his face.
And my heartbeat kept accelerating. After he took off the black cloth, I could clearly see who he was. Although his face was full of wrinkles and he looked like an old man who was about to die,
I can still tell at a glance that he is actually the wizard in the painting.
Under the green fluorescent stick, his face looked so scary and evil, my body suddenly shook and I unconsciously took two steps back.
"Oh my god Zhongyi, he...he is actually the wizard in that painting." Jenny also saw it. She grabbed my arm and her body started to tremble a little.
"Yes, I am exactly one of the people in the painting." His face was so old that the wrinkles looked like they were carved with a knife. I have never seen anyone age like this before. It's simply terrifying.
, just like the face of a devil.
I started to tremble a little, but I still managed to ask, "It's really you. You are indeed still alive. How many years have you been on this island?"
The old man touched his beard and said, "How many years? Haha...it's been so many years, I can't remember clearly. Maybe...it's hundreds of years."
Hundreds of years? Could it be that... Is he really a person who has lived from the Ming Dynasty to the present? After listening to the old man's words, the three of us were a little dumbfounded. We looked at each other, especially the big man.
Soon he won't be as nervous as before.
In fact, I had thought before that he might live to this day, but when I really found out, I was still a little shocked. This proves that what Jiao Ba said is right, that ginseng fruit can really make people immortal.
"I understand, you ate ginseng fruit and you lived from the Ming Dynasty to now, right?" I still boldly asked him, I have to figure this out.
