absurd deduction game.

Chapter 317 The Murals on the Two Doors

The stone carvings are vividly carved, and the one or two points that are not the same are due to the material, which cannot be completely consistent.

On the stone carving, Yu Xing's face showed no signs of being frightened by these horrible things, but a bit of disgust full of charm, as if there was only helplessness and rejection for the existence of these things.

From this point of view alone, the character of this statue matches Yu Xing quite well.

But because of this, Yu Xing felt a little weird. He found the environment familiar on the ground because the forest above was very similar to the forest in Coffin Village, so he had a premonition that there would be an ancestral hall here.

But Yu Xing has no impression of this underground space. He can be sure that he has never been here before.

When was the sculpture made?

He stretched out his hand in some doubts, and touched the surface of the sculpture with his pale fingers, but there was not much dust on it.

And when he was putting together the stone sculpture just now, his palm wasn't too dirty, which meant that not only did the sculpture take a short time to break, but it didn't even take long to build it.

Not long ago, someone built a sculpture for Yu Xing here?
Yu Xing felt unbelievable. Logically speaking, the only people who knew him in Chongyin Mountain were Carlos, Ai Li, and Shijiu.

Leaving aside other possible deducers, he couldn't think of one for a while, who would have the leisure and leisure to build this thing here.

Everyone who might know him should be on the surface by now.

……wrong.

there is a question.

time.

Yu Xing remembered that after he came out of the black coffin, he had no concept of time.

He didn't know how long he had been lying in the black coffin, maybe it wasn't just a few minutes as he thought, but a day or two?

It is likely that some special mechanism of the black coffin caused him not to feel hungry, so he mistakenly thought that the time was short.

In the past two days, other teams have found the entrance to the tomb, have they been here?
Can't tell...

"..." There was a vague doubt between Yu Xing's brows, he suppressed all the thoughts in his mind, and moved his hand to the statue's head.

The statue has only the head without any obstruction, and it is very complete, just like the corpses in the coffins on the stone wall.I don't know what special meaning the head has in the tomb.

He held down the head of the stone sculpture that was almost as tall as him, and looked at the face that was very similar to him, and gradually tightened his fingers.

The cave was impassable just now, and only the gravel statue could move at the door, so Yu Xing guessed that after putting together the stone statue, he could get a mechanism that opened the real road from the stone statue.

If the mechanism really exists, it can only be the head... The hint is already very obvious.

With a movement of his fingers, he turned the head of the stone statue to one side as if twisting his own neck.

Strange to say, when the stone statue was put together just now, the head was also divided into several halves. As a result, when it was turned, there was no sense of stiffness at all, as if it was natural.

As the head of the stone statue was "twisted off", the sound of mechanical operation came from inside the stone statue. Yu Xing stared at himself with a "broken neck" indifferently, and took two steps back.

His feet vibrated, like an earthquake, Yu Xing squatted slightly to stabilize his body, and when the vibration finally stopped, he looked at something nearby that had changed.

A stone wall is still a stone wall, a cave is still a cave, at first glance, there seems to be no difference.

But there was a faint light in the cave.

Yu Xing raised his eyes, left the stone statue that made him uncomfortable, and walked into the cave again.

This time, the cave seemed to be expanded, and the surrounding stone walls retreated nearly half a meter, and the stalactites were raised, allowing him to walk straight in.

The light kept changing, and one of the small spots flew out from the depths of the cave and landed on Yu Xing's shoulder.

It's a firefly that glows green.

Yu Xing quickened his pace, and when he got inside, the layout inside also changed. Stone statues stood on both sides of the road, and fireflies gathered together, bringing clear light.

The cave is illuminated by Yingying light, the stone walls are shadowy, water drops are hanging on the stalactites, and the shallow water beach under the feet reflects this rare and bizarre, which is very beautiful.

He turned off the flashlight and observed the statues.

"Interesting." Yu Xing's pupils reflected many people.

These statues were carved with many faces he knew.

Carlos, Aili, and Shijiu all have statues here. In addition, Yu Xing also accidentally saw the statues of Ling Heng and Guixin.

This was unexpected. It turned out that Ling Heng and Gui Xin also entered this deduction, and it was really a fate.

But isn't Guixin already dead? Ling Heng really found a way to bring her back to life?Or...was the resurrection of the tomb palace the reason that attracted these two?

Yu Xing found an unexpected "acquaintance" and was a little curious. At the same time, he also saw that all the statues in the cave were similar to his statue at the entrance of the cave. They were all wrapped in bone vines and wrapped in insects and birds.

On the faces of these people, some were terrified, some were calm, and some were smiling. Yu Xing looked at Carlos specifically, and saw that the statue of Carlos was holding a paper man in his hand, and there were many lying under his feet. Overwhelmed by different ways of dying.

The paper people have tasted all kinds of pain for Carlos, innocent and pitiful.

But even though the paper figurine has consumed a lot, the Carlos statue still has a smile on its face, just like his escaping and unpredictable character.

In the corner, Yu Xing found a sentence engraved on the wall for some time, which was somewhat blurred.

"There are gravels in the mouth, and only by cutting off its head can there be a way of life. If you make a wrong turn once, you will be devoured by insects and die."

The translation is that there are broken stone carvings at the entrance of the cave, and the mechanism must turn its head to get a way out. If the transmission is wrong once, many insects like dead tree worms will eat the living people who do it.

Yu Xing, who was never worried about making a mistake in his judgment: "..."

He brushed the dust off the line of words, and thought the words were quite beautiful.

"Since the hole at the entrance is a switch, what do these statues here... mean?" Yu Xing stood in front of the statue and tried to twist the neck of the statue of Carlos.

Can't move.

It seems that only the one at the entrance of the cave can act as a mechanism.

Yu Xing didn't know where Carlos and the others were now, maybe they had really entered the tomb.

He pursed his lips and walked deeper.

He just came here just now, but he was persuaded by the narrow passage that required him to walk on his stomach. Now that the passage has been completely opened, he can continue to enter.

The statues were arranged neatly, Yu Xing memorized everyone's faces, and then left the statue hall.

Further in, there was another narrow path, and there were a few fireflies that left the team scattered here and there. Yu Xing walked along the road and found that he was going down.

This road is sloping downwards, and the range is very small. If there is no outstanding sensing ability, it may not be possible to detect it.

The rock layer gradually became shallower. Yu Xing walked for more than ten minutes, and the ground under his feet turned into mud. He tapped along the cave walls on both sides, looking for possible interlayers.

The soil on the ground was soaked with water and turned into mud. Yu Xing's feet became sticky and every step was difficult.

There were faint whispers mixed in the wind in his ears, and continuous whispers came from the deeper part of the cave, no, at this point, the cave can no longer be called a cave, and it is more appropriate to call it a tunnel.

When he finally stopped, a stone door blocked his way.

The stone gate is about two meters high, with a mural-like story engraved on the gate, and a hideous ghost face is painted in the center of the gate. The ghost face's eyes are looking at him coldly, and its mouth is wide open, like a hungry ghost.

Yu Xing didn't know anything about the history of this deduced world, but he was a serious painter and knew a little about cultural relics like murals.

He can easily understand the content of the murals.

On the left half of the door, there is a story about a piece of dead wood.

A long time ago, the young woman in the Taoist robe on the mural got a piece of dead wood. This piece of wood was carefully protected by the woman, but everyone around her wanted to snatch it.

Gradually, the people around them changed from being normal to being greedy and sinful, their bodies gradually bent, their heads gradually flattened, their fingers gradually turned into sharp claws,

These people were forced to become ghosts by the obsession in their hearts.

They came to the woman and asked the woman to hand over the piece of wood, but the woman refused, so she was torn to pieces by these guys who couldn't be called human, and thrown off a cliff outside the tribe.

The piece of wood did not fall into the hands of these people in the end. A boy who was in love with a woman stole the wood and threw it off the cliff after knowing what happened to the woman. It should be used as a sacrifice to the woman.

Unexpectedly, the woman was resurrected at the bottom of the cliff.

Not only did she gather together her own corpse, but she also regained her sanity, and found a good place to plant the piece of dead wood that happened to fall on her body.

Originally, the state of the dead tree remained unchanged. The woman watered the small tree in vain, and made a wish every day at the bottom of the cliff, hoping that people outside would never find her and the small tree again.

Then one day, a man stumbled and fell off a cliff, and his blood flowed into the ground under the dead tree. The tree finally began to take root and grow up, and the dead tree came alive miraculously. The woman was very happy, and she knew that her resurrection was because of this. A tree saved her and regarded the tree as a god.

Since then, people have jumped off the cliff from time to time, and the blood of these people has become the best nourishment for the small tree. Over the years, the dead wood has grown into a towering tree.

The story ends here, it seems ordinary, not even exciting by a ghost story, but if you think about it seriously, you can find out, how many people's blood does it take for a small tree to grow into a towering tree?

The revived woman should be a person who is called a demon by later generations. She has been using the fallen human body as fertilizer to water her young trees. Is she really in a normal state?
Most of the murals were engraved by Yaodao himself, or the workers hired by Yaodao. I don’t know how much of it is true or not. Of course, my own people will do their best to beautify Yaodao. Maybe those so-called "falling off the cliff" People are all living beings captured by the demon way.

Yu Xing thought, the Yaodao was forced to death in life, and the way of death was tragic. After death, she must be a fierce ghost. Once resurrected, she hates humans, and the possibility of her fierceness is far more than that of staying under the cliff and planting trees. Probably much larger.

Yu Xing looked to the right again, and the story on the right was about the coffin.

As soon as he looked over, he heard a chuckle behind him. This laugh was very ethereal. He clearly heard it clearly, but he couldn't distinguish the timbre of the sound, as if the reactor in his brain was malfunctioning and he couldn't make a correct response. .

But Yu Xing knew who the laughter came from.

It could only be the one who had been following him and peeping behind him.

It was like this again, the opponent was almost only one body away from him, but every time he tried to drag him out, the opponent would disappear in an instant, like a cloud of smoke.

Yu Xing's eyes flashed, and he stopped reacting, and focused on looking at the mural.

The story about the coffin is the follow-up to the story of the dead wood.

The seasons changed, and after countless years, the big tree grew up.

Yaodao is still so young and hasn't changed at all, but she has a premonition of a crisis, and she tells the people who come to follow her because of her fame, that she must go underground, so as to escape the punishment of God.

She cut down the big tree and made a coffin out of the tree's wood. This coffin was so heavy that no one could move it, and resentment and blood often flowed out of it, but Yaodao said it was her greatest reliance.

Around this immovable coffin, Yaodao and his followers built an underground tomb palace together, which is the origin of Yaodao's tomb palace.

Yaodao lay down in the coffin and fell into a deep sleep.

Ninety-nine and 81 coffin nails were nailed to the coffin lid of the coffin, and all kinds of ghosts and evil spirits were painted on it. Yaodao never woke up after sleeping, and her followers died one by one. This legend has disappeared into history with time. In the long river.

That's the story on the door on the right.

Yu Xing stared at the pattern of the coffin, and the appearance of the black coffin in the ancestral hall appeared in his mind. The two are so similar, yet different.

The coffins shown on the murals are more complicated and formal, and just the paintings make people feel a chill, which shows that their power is far greater than that of the black coffins in the ancestral hall.

very strange.

He stroked the ghost face inlaid on the door, and the doubts in his eyes became more and more obvious: "In the tomb, the murals are generally used for records. Even if it is biased because it is an autobiography, the original intention is to record."

"But... who made the record about the coffin on the right?"

It has already been stated above that Yaodao really lay down in the coffin while awake. At that time, the tomb had already been built, and the things that had been built should include this door.

In other words, this door existed before the Yaodao was buried, so how could it draw the ending of the Yaodao sleeping in advance, and even draw the followers dying one by one?

After all died, who carved the murals?

Yu Xing felt that the right half was not a record, but a prophecy.

Or, something that the latecomers helped to draw.

Yu Xing lowered his head and looked at his hand. Speaking of which, this painting is the same as the sculpture just now, and has a very strong artistic foundation. If you look closely, you can feel that the two are lifelike, and its brushwork and carving style... are very similar to Yu Xing. .

He is very sure that the people who do these things must be related to him, at least they have been together for a long time before they can understand his painting and carving habits.
