Chapter 3: Weird Three Dragons Mural
For the next section of the road, everyone basically walked in a dull mood.
Jiang Zhiyuan, who was standing at the back of the team, looked at the remaining six people in front of him and felt infinite regret in his heart.
He was thinking, if he had not been impulsive at that time, agreed to the foreigners' conditions without thinking, and formed this expedition team, would things like this have happened?
While thinking, Luojing Zhen, who had been leading the team, suddenly stopped his progress.
When everyone saw this, they all stopped at the same time and stopped where they were.
"We're back again!"
Ahead, the slightly hoarse voice of Luojing Zhen reached everyone's ears.
Everyone who heard this said felt cold all over, and everyone showed an expression of extreme despair.
That's right, since the incident just now, they have circled this dark cave no less than a dozen times.
In such an environment, they have even lost the concept of time, and all they have is the cycle of day after day, year after year, and that's it.
Everyone's physical strength seemed to be approaching the limit, but no one dared to take a rest before Jiang Zhiyuan gave an order.
As time passed by, Luojing Zhen walked slowly to the stone platform beside him, slowly squatted down, and took down the lighter that was placed on the stone platform.
He shook his head helplessly at everyone, and then sat on the ground with a wry smile.
When everyone saw this, they first quietly looked back at Jiang Zhiyuan, who was at the end of the line, and then they all followed suit and sat on the ground like they did in the formation.
Seeing that the atmosphere was really depressing, one of them moved closer to Luojing Zhen and whispered: "Vice Captain, what should we do now!"
Jian Luojing sighed softly at first, and then said in a very calm tone: "If I had my way, I wouldn't choose to sit here stupidly."
While they were talking, everyone except Paul and Jiang Zhiyuan also moved towards the well formation.
"I don't know... have you ever heard of the story of a ghost breaking into a wall?"
I saw Old Liu lighting up a cigarette first, and then speaking slowly to everyone.
When several people saw this, they all looked at each other in shock. For a while, their words were stuck in their throats, and they couldn't hold back a decent fart for a long time.
And Lao Liu didn't seem to be in a hurry. He took a deep puff on the cigarette butt, and after the smoke circulated in his lungs, he exhaled.
"This ghost hitting the wall can be said to be exactly the same as what we are encountering now."
Luo Jingzhen, who was originally expecting Lao Liu to say something clever, waved his hands impatiently when he heard this: "I know this even if you don't tell me!"
When Lao Liu saw this, he also laughed: "Don't worry, the point is actually not here!"
Luojing Zhen turned around and looked at Jiang Zhiyuan in the distance with an extremely worried look.
But Lao Liu paid no attention to him and continued to say to the people in front of him: "This so-called ghost wall, to put it bluntly, is just a few fools running in circles in the dark."
Although what Lao Liu said was a bit blunt, it does make sense if you think about it carefully.
Everyone nodded in seeming understanding.
Seeing this, Old Liu suddenly changed the subject, and then asked in an extremely strange voice: "But do you really believe that there is such a thing as a ghost breaking into a wall?"
Having said this, Lao Liu put down the cigarette in his hand and coughed twice.
"As far as I know, there are currently two ways to crack this wall."
I saw Lao Liu stretching out his two fingers.
"The first and most stupid method is to stay where you are and wait until dawn."
When Lao Liu said this, he paused for a moment, then took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and threw it in front of everyone.
"And this second one is a metaphysical method that I heard passed down from my ancestors. During the journey of the ghost wall, each person holds a lit cigarette and then walks into the darkness from the starting point every ten minutes.
Set off and move forward slowly. After the cigarettes are burned out, everyone needs to circle back to the starting point in order to break the formation. But..."
Old Liu supported his frame, and then suddenly lowered his voice and said: "But the risk of doing this is very high. If someone turns on the flashlight in the middle, or loses their sense of direction in the dark, it is said that the soul will be taken away to eternity.
A place that cannot be reincarnated, and is completely reduced to a sacrifice for the soul."
Hearing this, everyone present felt chills running down their spines and shivers of sweat.
"No need!"
Suddenly, Jiang Zhiyuan's voice came from behind everyone.
They all cast their gazes in the direction of Jiang Zhiyuan's voice, but were surprised to find that he was lying motionless on his side, with his right ear firmly pressed against the gravel-covered ground.
Just when everyone was confused, Jiang Zhiyuan's expression on the ground suddenly changed, and then his body was like a spring and he instantly stepped back a few steps.
"Everyone, get your shovels ready! There seems to be something down here!"
Following Jiang Zhiyuan's order, everyone's hearts were in their throats at this moment.
Among them, a big guy in the team bore the brunt of the attack. He let out a low roar first, and then suddenly exerted force on his hands, thrusting his shovel into the endless rubble.
It felt like he had hit something big. The strong man frowned slightly at first, then looked at the position, stepped on the edge of the shovel with one foot, raised his hand and shoved all the countless gravel aside.
Seeing this, Jiang Zhi hurriedly crawled over, put the flashlight in his mouth, and tried his best to dig at the gravel pit that appeared in front of him with both hands. From a distance, this scene looked like a hairy
As cute as a crazy groundhog.
Old Liu put the cigarette case into his trouser pocket, his eyes never leaving Jiang Zhiyuan's direction for a moment.
As if feeling a little tired, Jiang Zhiyuan slowly stopped digging with his bare hands.
He wiped the big beads of sweat on his forehead, and then turned his gaze to the people still watching the show in the distance with some breathlessness.
"Everyone comes together, this depth is obviously not enough!"
I don't know how much time passed, but as the last shovel broke, Luojing Zhen finally fell into a trance, and then one of them lost his balance and fell heavily to the ground.
What appeared in front of everyone at this moment was a mural engraved with three giant dragons, but this mural did not appear on an ordinary wall, but at their feet.
This situation means that this lifelike mural has been buried underground by several thick layers of gravel.
If they hadn't worked so hard to lift all the rubble, this mural might never see the light of day again until the end of the world.
Looking at the three giant dragons carved on the stone wall below, Jiang Zhiyuan also fell into deep thought at this moment.
First of all, what is the significance of these three giant dragons appearing here?
Furthermore, why did such a stone slab with images appear at their feet?
Just looking at these three giant dragons, there is actually no difference.
Judging from the style of this carving, it gives people a very modern feeling.
Looking at the sixteen volumes of Feng Shui secrets, only one of them, "Earth", is related to dragons.
Interpreting the direction of the earth's mountains and rivers to determine the specific location of the dragon's veins is the main content of this volume.
But there seemed to be no essential connection between these metaphysical gadgets and the murals that appeared in front of them.
In such a dark and dark place, Jiang Zhiyuan didn't believe that there was any nonsense about Feng Shui.
Just as Jiang Zhiyuan and others were thinking, they suddenly heard a faint roar in the distance.
After everyone heard this, they were all frightened. They all turned on their flashlights in a panic and shined their light towards the source of the sound.
But the light was too dim, and even the strong flashlight in Luojing Zhen's hand could not break through the endless darkness.
As the sound got closer and closer, everyone also turned off their flashlights. The moth bat last time really left a big shadow in their hearts.
In the darkness, everyone's body was stiff and they were breathing heavily.
Suddenly, the sound stopped, and the surroundings seemed to have returned to silence.
Luo Jingzhen slowly took out a video camera from his backpack. Just as he was about to turn on the night vision function, a harsh cry suddenly sounded around him.
Everyone was looking behind them in horror at this moment, and the pitiful cries seemed to come from among them.
The moment the sound rang out, the big man closest to the pit was frightened, and the flashlight took out his hand and fell to the edge of the pit.
The big man stretched out his hand and tried his best to get the flashlight back.
At the moment when he poked his head out, he accidentally caught a glimpse of the mural below.
What horrified him was that the original mural with three giant dragons had been transformed into three ugly and big black bats.
Not only that, but the bottom of the pit, which should have been pitch black, now emitted bursts of weak dark purple light from unknown sources.
The faint purple light shines on the stone slab where there are three giant bats. This scene has an indescribable weirdness.
Although the big man is usually bold, when he encountered such a supernatural scene, he was still shocked, and all the hairs on his body suddenly stood up.
Before he could get up and step back, a sound like a baby's cry suddenly came to his ears.
His body reflexively retreated towards the pit, but he accidentally retreated and fell into the pit.
With a heart-rending cry of "help", the big man fell into the pit with his flashlight.
At this time, Jiang Zhiyuan seemed to have heard the big man's cry for help. He turned around and looked into the pit, but was surprised to find that the stone slab that had been sealed underneath had cracked slightly at some point.
The biting cold wind came up from below and hit Jiang Zhiyuan's face, making it difficult for him to breathe for a while.
Since there is wind, it indirectly means that there should be a large area below at this time.
Jiang Zhiyuan, who has many years of adventure experience, naturally knows what the blowing wind means.
He lay down on the spot and made a rough estimate, confirming that the size of the gap could definitely accommodate anyone.
Thinking of this, Jiang Zhiyuan also turned slightly sideways, and then began to loudly call for everyone to jump under the pit.
Regardless of whether they heard it or not, he jumped first and fell into the endless darkness.
Chapter completed!
