Thousand Lantern Night

The moment the bronze door opened, I heard the fat man yell: "Fuck! This broken door finally opened! The last time Grandpa couldn't get through the door, this time he will definitely find out!"

In front of the door, Peter and the others were swept to the ground by the whirlpool just now, and they were struggling to get up.Qin Ai heard the fat man's words and cursed: "Explore your big head! Just a little toothpick like you is not enough to fill in the door!"

The fat man was about to curse back when he suddenly heard Zhang Qiling "shh", and immediately fell silent.

We heard an eerie sound of horns and camel bells coming from the far side of the chasm.Fatty and I are no strangers to this voice, it was the Yin soldiers who made the excuse, last time Zhang Qiling got in the Bronze Gate with the Yin soldiers.

I asked Zhang Qiling: "Do we have to go in with them?"

Zhang Qiling frowned, raised a finger towards me, and gave a "shush" sound near his mouth, as if he was listening to the sound to identify his position.The sound of the horn on the other side of the rift suddenly stopped, and there were horses neighing and chirping, as if the team was caught by something.Zhang Qiling listened for a while, then waved to us: "Go in before they come! Guixi leads the way!"

At this time, the green light of Guixi had calmed down quite a bit, but it was still brighter than ever before. It was like holding a kilowatt incandescent lamp in my hand.When I thought that this light was transformed by Xiaobai's spirit body, I felt a little uncomfortable.Xiaobai, who has guarded the tomb for thousands of years, must be very lonely after being activated, that's why he is so happy to see me.I'm not a good host, I just let it help me.

The bronze door didn't move after opening a crack, probably the ghost energy absorbed by the ghost seal is only enough to make it open to this size.But after getting closer, I found that the gap is wide enough, and at least five trucks can fit in side by side without any problem.The thickness of this door is astonishing, and the process of entering the door is like passing through a very long mountain tunnel.

After entering, there is a black and dark darkness. This kind of black is very similar to what we encountered in the Thousand Buddha Caves and Pagoda Forest before, it is the kind of boundless darkness.Including the same situation in the ice palace just now, this is a kind of black that cannot be transmitted by ordinary light.I guess that the space here should also have the state of overlapping virtual and real. This kind of darkness that cannot be illuminated is likely caused by the illusory space covering the real space.The sense of boundless vastness should be caused by the illusory space.

This situation is very similar to what Wang Zanghai recorded. When the Jurchens led him in, they used a kind of "true fire" to search for photos.We previously speculated that it was a photo of a rhinoceros.And the rhino photo happens to be something that can show the superimposed effect of the illusory space of "ghost hitting the wall".This also infers the existence of illusory space from another aspect.

At this time, the ghost seal replaced the rhinoceros photo.Under the reflection of the ghost seal, our progress was smooth.But the darker the darker the deeper you go, the narrower and narrower the reflection range of the ghost seal, and finally it was only enough to envelop our group.We seem to be wrapped in a thick layer of dumpling skin, moving forward little by little.

The fat man couldn't help muttering: "No way, there isn't even a single hair in this damn place. Seeing this situation, it can't be a space-time tunnel. Walking over and returning to Beijing with a biu sound? Alas! It's no wonder that Wang Zanghai can disperse the information Hiding in different ancient tombs, he couldn’t just use this tunnel!”

Most of the time when Fatty started joking, everyone was very nervous.I don't know if anyone else has noticed, but since we entered the door, no footsteps have been heard.We don't know what kind of ground we are stepping on. In short, there is no sound at all.Maybe it was because the atmosphere was too weird that the fat man suddenly started having fun.

As soon as the fat man is having fun, someone will come up to him.Qin Ai coughed lightly, and said, "Pigs have rich imaginations. You may be a human being when you go there, but you will become a pig when you return to Beijing. This tunnel also has a species conversion function. "

The fat man said: "I said you kid is going to argue with me, right? If you pass through, you will definitely become a transvestite! This is called species transformation, do you understand!"

Listening to their jokes, I don't know why I didn't feel relaxed at all, but instead felt an inexplicable sense of panic in my heart.I walked in the front to lead the way, looking at the darkness ahead, and felt that this environment was inexplicably familiar.There is a frightening thought in my mind that keeps churning: I seem to have been here before.

Qin Ai wanted to talk back, but was silenced by Zhang Yinzhen's "hush".The two immediately shut up, and the space fell into a completely silent, deathly silence.Zhang Yinzhen said softly: "Listen!"

There was a gurgling sound similar to bubbles bubbling in deep water.Big groups of white mist suddenly appeared from nowhere, surging up all of a sudden, and the original darkness became a foggy one.Thick fog surrounded us, like meat wrapped in dumpling wrappers, and the range of sight became smaller.The sound of bubbling bubbles became louder and louder, very slow and regular, interspersed with the sound of long dripping water, coming from the depths of the ground beneath the feet, as if there was a pool of boiling hot water below. .

Thinking of hot springs, I felt that the temperature behind this door was indeed very suitable, except that the humidity was a little heavier.

The fat man also said: "Is there a hot spring down here? Do you dare to come here to take a bath?"

The fat man walked behind me on the left. I was listening intently, but I was startled by his voice.I bent him back with my elbow, and said, "How do you know it's not the Rebirth Pool in the Underworld? After a while, you jump down and you'll be reincarnated directly."

The fat man "cut" and said, "This is definitely impossible. Otherwise, that old guy Wang Zanghai has been reincarnated several times, and he can still leave a spirit body wandering around here? ——What the hell is that!"

With this shout, everyone stopped in their tracks.The fat man pointed forward, and a huge black shadow was wrapped in the dark mist, standing there motionless at the end of the light circle that Guixi could detect.The shadow was extremely huge, like a huge beast crawling and peeping.

In view of the fact that we have encountered various weird species in similar environments, the first reaction to the previous thing is probably not a good one.

"The door! The door is gone!" Suddenly, Evans, who was following behind, roared in horror.We intuitively turned around and found a wet stone wall behind us.

"Be careful! This kind of stone wall can eat people!" The last time I encountered that kind of moving living jade mountain in the Thousand Buddha Caves, I went up to pull them back and away from the stone wall with experience.Then he stared at the mountain vigilantly, considering whether to explode again.

Zhang Yinzhen didn't take it seriously, he stepped forward to touch the rock, shook his head and said, "No, it's just an ordinary mountain, not living jade."

I opened my mouth unexpectedly, and followed Xiaohua and the others up to try the feel.Zhang Qiling touched it a few times with his long fingers, glanced at me, and shook his head at me, affirming Zhang Yinzhen's conclusion.I touched it a few times and found that it was indeed different from Huoyushan, and then I thought, we came in from the bronze gate all the way in the open, there was no turn at all, and there was no uphill or downhill, the original road was gone!The bronze door is gone too!

"Is this ghost hitting the wall?" This was my first thought.

Xiao Hua immediately shook her head: "No. The ghost seal is much better than the rhinoceros photo, so we didn't encounter the situation described by Wang Zanghai when we came in from outside the door. It can be seen that the ghost hitting the wall refers to the distortion of the virtual space on the real space."

Zhang Qiling said: "It should be that the angle of the illusory space has changed. Since Wang Zanghai is sure that the people who come in cannot get out, he must have his reasons."

The understanding of these words, why do I feel like we are installed in a sphere, as the ball rolls in, let alone the surrounding scenes are very different, the angle of this sphere changes infinitely, we can’t even figure out a fixed reference point .

All are aware of this.Those who have gone to the ground also know that there is no arrow back after opening the bow, and there is seldom the luck of returning the same way.At this time, we can't control so much.Obviously, the huge black shadow in front deserves our attention more.

Xiaohua said: "Let's go. Go ahead and have a look."

No one disagrees.I immediately went to the front to lead the way.After walking a few steps, I suddenly felt a very strong airflow sweeping towards my face, and then I saw that huge black shadow swaying slowly.

The fat man said: "I'm moving by that thing! Do you want to fire a few shots first?"

Zhang Qiling said: "Don't move!"

I thought to myself that this fat man forgot that things like the human-faced bird are voice-activated, and would attack people crazily once they were disturbed by the sound.In case the things here are also hanging, then we can be reincarnated very quickly if there is no Rebirth Pool below.

Fortunately, the gust of air flow passed in just a few seconds, and the black shadow swayed a few times before gradually coming still.We continued to walk forward, in the dark space, there were no footsteps, no sound.There was just deathly silence, and the occasional gurgling of bubbles, and the very slow, regular dripping of water.

I feel more and more that this scene is very familiar. In the warm and humid environment, there seems to be a faint unpleasant salty smell in the air, and the long and endless dripping sound-where have I experienced such a scene? ?

I tried my best to recall, and finally remembered that it was the exact same scene in the illusion of reincarnation at the bottom of the West Queen Mother River.At that time, the fat man said that what they saw in the Samsara Heaven was the most difficult and dangerous moment they had ever experienced. Only I saw such a situation that I didn't know why.

Could it be that the samsara heaven gave me a sign, suggesting that this environment is something I will encounter in the future?

But why do I have a feeling of homing in?
