Chapter 43: The Revelation of Silence
I was about to take a look at what was in the parchment book, but I remembered that I was still tied and left on the ground, so I put the parchment book down first and prepared to untie it for her. Although she had repeatedly dreamed about the ghost cave in her dream, it was strange.
But she probably wasn't possessed by an evil spirit, or the monster queen was reincarnated. Treating her like this is a bit too much.
She was tied to the ground and her face was stained with dust. Adding to her tears, she looked like a Peking Opera singer with a painted face. When she saw me approaching, she said angrily: "Old Hu, please untie me quickly."
I told her what happened, gritted my teeth, slapped her, and then untied the belt that bound her hands.
I said: I had no choice, so I came up with this strategy. Just hit me back, hit me as many times as you like. After saying that, I turned my head and waited for a slap in the face. I was already prepared. I guess she didn’t slap me.
My two front teeth will never give up.
Unexpectedly, he wiped the dust on his face, but did not hit me. He only said: I don't want you to care about me now. I will settle the debt later. It is more important to find a way to get out first.
He took out a small box in his carry-on bag, which contained a small pill. After opening it, he inhaled it in front of his nose, then handed me two pills and asked the fat man and I to smell them respectively.
Said: This is a highly concentrated alcoholic smell with a strong smell. It can stimulate the front lobe of the brain through the nasal mucosa and keep people awake. It can be used to assist in detoxification and offset drug addiction. Foreign explorers will take it with them when they go to the wild.
Take a few pills, just in case. When you are at the extreme of hunger and fatigue, it can stimulate the brain nerves and prevent you from falling into coma. However, it is not advisable to use more in a short period of time, otherwise it will have strong negative effects. As for whether it works against the hallucinations of the magic flower, just
It’s unknown.
I think that corpse-scented konjac causes hallucinations through the five senses, and these hallucinations come from the stimulating drug in the brain center, which should be able to restrain hallucinations to some extent.
I gave the fat man one pill, opened it myself, and immediately inhaled through my nostrils. A smelly and unpleasant breath rushed into my nasal cavity, making me cough repeatedly, but then I felt that my originally heavy mind was much more relaxed. It was very
Comfortable.
I said: If there is such a good thing, why not use it earlier and give us a few grains on the stone beam. The demon flower would have been uprooted long ago, and it would not be buried here now, in a dilemma.
Said: At that time, you ran back from the stone beam and told us the reason. Only then did we know that the corpse-scented konjac would cause hallucinations for those who climbed the stone beam, and then they were attacked by countless black snakes. It only took a few minutes.
, I didn’t even know that those snakes were also illusions created by the magic flower. Besides, I don’t think the corpse elephant konjac is that simple. It has a kind of magic power that directly points to the human heart. If it is too close, I don’t think this medicine will have any effect.
Too useful.
Of the five people who entered the Tomb of the First Saint, only Chen and Ye were unconscious. One was stimulated and the other was unconscious. Now Ye Yixin is dead and Professor Chen is going crazy. He will not be affected by the corpse scent.
Konjac was confused. His appearance reminded us of the British expedition that had entered the ruins of the ancient city of Jingjue. The only survivor of that expedition was a madman. He must have seen the tragic scene of his companions killing each other and was affected by it.
Caused by excessive stimulation.
Professor Chen, on the other hand, had a huge ups and downs in one day. First he was saddened by the death of his assistant Hao Aiguo, then he found one surprising discovery after another in the Jingjue ruins, and suddenly he saw two of his own students die tragically. So...
Great joys and sorrows have a great impact on people's nerves, not to mention that he was old and finally suffered a nervous breakdown and went completely crazy.
Thinking of this, I nodded with a heavy expression and said: That dead man flower is really awesome. Fortunately, we are close and united, so we didn't fall into its trap of alienation, and there was no tragedy of killing each other. Now that I think about it,
I was really scared, but finally Hu Dahe and the Holy Saints protected me and it didn’t lead to a big mistake.
Suddenly his face sank. You are too cunning and have completely blamed yourself. You know how much I trust you. You not only lied to me and refused to tell the truth to me, but also suspected that I was some kind of monster.
Have you ever thought about how I feel? Do you know what it feels like to be tied up like an animal by you two bad guys, waiting for you to interrogate and slaughter me?
I covered my head and said: Oh, no, my head hurts again. I have to sit down and rest for a while. Fatty, please take the parchment booklet of the sages and show it to Miss Yang. Is there any good way to get out of trouble?
After saying that, he took the opportunity to sneak up to Professor Chen, not daring to talk to him again.
Fortunately, she was not the kind of unreasonable woman after all. When she saw me slipping away, she stopped pursuing it and picked up the ancient sheepskin album of the late saint and looked at it page by page.
I secretly complained. With her personality, she will not be able to spare me in the future. What she did today was absolutely impossible, and so many people died. The hard-earned money of me and the fat man has been wasted again. Why is Old Hu so miserable? Take a sip of cold water.
All teeth.
I was also curious about what was in the ancient book. His expression was solemn, and I couldn’t tell whether he was happy or worried. Since the sage could foresee our return to his tomb and open the stone box, he must have left it for us.
Something, what on earth is it? I couldn’t hold it back any longer, and asked: What is the content of the book of the child’s ancestors?
Holding the ancient sheepskin book in hand, he looked at it and said: They are all pictures painted by the ancestors, and they seem to contain a lot about ghost caves.
I don't want to go back to any ghost cave in my life. The most important thing is whether there is a way out, but I can't push her so I can only listen to her patiently.
Said: Only by looking at the beginning can we understand the whole story, otherwise the final picture may not be decipherable. The beginning of this part is about a sacred mountain in the ancient Western Regions, which is the Zagrama Mountain where we are now. This mountain is surrounded by dense rivers, flora and fauna.
In great diversity, these four tribes live here
The fat man and I looked at each other and thought that this American girl had to start from the beginning. It was really impatient. We were both anxious and wanted to know how to get out of this small and depressing tomb, but neither of us dared to speak.
Look at me, I look at you, I'm so anxious that I can't sit still.
Just listen to continue: The good times did not last long, people found a bottomless cave in the Zagrama Mountains, no one can go down to the bottom of the cave, everyone wants to find out what kind of world is in the cave, among the four tribes
There was a high priest who ordered a jade eyeball to be made, hoping that through the power of the true god, he could see whether the bottomless pit was auspicious or evil. Following a large-scale ceremony, not only could he not clearly see what was under the bottomless pit,
Instead, disasters began to strike. First, the high priest was blinded and died. Then, a strange snake appeared nearby that threatened the safety of humans and animals. There were many of these snakes. They had a strange eye on their heads and were very poisonous.
It killed countless people and animals. The four tribes elected two saints who were favored by the true god, and took the warriors of the tribes to kill the female snake. This was a monster with a human snake body and four limbs. It would
Eggs that hatch out look like eyeballs, and each egg can produce hundreds of strange snakes. If they are allowed to multiply, the consequences will be disastrous.
The fat man and I were both surprised when we heard this: Darling, there really was such a strange snake with a human head in ancient times. Fortunately, we didn't encounter it, otherwise it would be really difficult to deal with.
It is said that it is true that the first sages eliminated snakes, but snake beasts with human and snake bodies may not really exist. Ancient people usually over-deified important events, such as the war between China's Yandi Huangdi and Chi You.
Maybe it was just a fight between hundreds of tribes, but in ancient records, it was described as a grand battle in which even gods and beasts participated.
I raised my thumb and said, "That's really good advice. I wonder if I can break it down as soon as possible."
He rolled his eyes at me and then said: After the snake beasts were swept away, the sages threw the corpses of the snakes into the bottomless pit at the foot of Zagrama Mountain. The sage learned from the oracles that this cave was a hole of disaster, and the jade eyeballs
The door to disaster has been opened. After this, a prophet was born in one of the tribes, that is, this child with the power of prophecy. Next is the prophet's prophecy about the future of Zagrama Mountain. After the death of the sage in the tribe,
He was buried in Zagrama Mountain. The prophet can predict major events thousands of years later through rituals, but his scope is limited to the vicinity of Zagrama Mountain. This may be because the sage who is regarded as a god in the tribe is buried in Zagrama Mountain.
Here, the power of the prophet is given by the two sages and the true God.
We finally got to the point. I listened carefully. Whether we can get out of this ghost place depends on what the prophet predicted. The answer to survival and death is about to be revealed. My heartbeat speeds up a little.
Said: Don't be so nervous. I just read it over again. There seems to be a revelation in the back that can help us leave Zagrama, but it needs to be combined with the previous content. Don't worry, let's do it step by step.
Just when he was concentrating on it, he suddenly saw Professor Chen staring at the ancient sheepskin book in his hand and saying: Don't read the content at the end. Book Alliance
