Chapter V Organs

The strangest thing in the whole room is the walls, the walls are covered with painted ink paintings, the main color is dark yellow, some are painted with white clouds, some are painted with misty mountains, and some are even more strange, painting a group of unknown people, surrounding a person who looks like a wizard. The wizard is holding a turtle shell and engraving letters on it. The background is a forest covered with dark clouds.

When we walked in it, I felt an indescribable evil spirit in the room, but Li Damin was interested in seeing it, especially the murals of the characters. He looked at them very carefully and took out his cell phone to take a photo.

"You can see what's going on?" I asked.

Li Damin used a flashlight to illuminate the mural that painted the wizard: "Can't you see it?"

I asked what was going on.

"In ancient times, people used the method of burning the turtle shell to determine good and bad luck by looking at the cracks in the turtle shell to determine good and bad luck." Li Damin said: "The turtle is the most sage. Legend has it that a divine turtle came out of Luoshui and carried the Luoshu. Fuxi saw it and realized it, and then it became the Eight Trigrams and Zhouyi. This is the earliest Taoist view of the universe."

He swept the whole room with a flashlight, looked at the murals and said, "It's interesting, interesting, do you know what I feel?"

"What?" My throat moved up and down.

"This place doesn't look like a bedroom, but rather like an ancient tomb." Li Damin said: "These murals are tomb paintings, expressing a certain vision and demand of the deceased."

"Wait," I waved my hand: "I'm a little confused. This is Wang Yue's bedroom. She asked me to come here just to let me see this... Could it be that she already..." I pointed to the black coffin in the middle.

Li Damin scratched his head and circled around the coffin, saying that the secret might be in this coffin. He had to find a way to open it.

With him here, I am not so nervous. Now I am more curious and worried. Wang Yue is doing such a big project, with a coffin and a mural. What exactly does she want to do? What is her state now?

Thinking of her strange sleepwalking symptoms that night, I felt chills. The strange elements in front of me were beyond my understanding and could not be linked into a reasonable logical chain no matter what.

Li Damin knocked and lit the black coffin with a flashlight to shine every inch. The surface of the coffin was not decorated, just a few very ordinary black boards were integrated into one, and the joints were tightly clenched, but a nail could not be found. The craftsmanship looked rough but actually fine.

Li Damin walked around several times but couldn't find a way to open the coffin. The lid of the coffin was tightly connected to the body of the coffin, and we both couldn't lift it even if we tried our best. Li Damin said: "This craft is a bit awesome. Could it be the legendary carpenter's mortise joint?"

"I know," I said, "just connect without nails, with the concave insertion of the wood itself."

"Yes." Li Damin nodded: "The so-called seamlessness. If this is the case, it will not be opened by brute force. Perhaps there are mechanisms in it."

"Mechanism?" I was puzzled.

Li Damin said: "Didn't Wang Yue send you a few messages? She gave enough prompts when we can enter the building and come to her house smoothly. Please check the message again, do you have any mechanism passwords for opening the coffin?"

I took out my phone and looked carefully. The digital password sent by Wang Yue had been used. The information behind was useless. It was all hysterical words that urged me to come here.

I read it twice, shook my head, and told Li Damin that it was not.

Li Damin didn't seem to believe my IQ very much, so he took my phone over. I looked at him angrily. He squatted on the ground, thinking while looking at his phone.

Taking advantage of this time, I walked slowly along the wall in the bedroom, and looked at the paintings on the wall carefully, and was secretly shocked. The painting skills of these paintings are very powerful, with delicate lines and bold ink, and the true colors are revealed in splashing. After watching for a long time, it is still dazzling and fascinating.

Are these paintings painted by Wang Yue? If it were hers, I really didn't expect that this little girl would have such a skill.

As I walked, I was a little dazed, and I seemed to have traveled to the tomb robbery novel. I was alone in the deep of the ancient tomb, and the gloomy corridor was the only one who could not express that terrifying atmosphere.

At this moment, I suddenly stopped and saw something in the corner.

The moment I saw this thing, my sense of time travel was even stronger than the sense of reality. It really seemed that I had left reality and was in an ancient tomb.

I was trapped in a trance of no distinction between reality in my dreams, and I couldn't extricate myself. My body was still moving and my heart was beating violently, indicating that I was still awake.

I shook my head hard, took a deep breath, and recovered my mind. I shone it with a flashlight.

In the corner of the room, there is an altar. The altar is in the shape of a gossip and is not large in size, just the size of a washbasin. It looks like it is made of metal, with a dark black surface, which seems to absorb light. No matter what light shines, it cannot illuminate it.

On the top of this Bagua altar, which is the two black and white eyes of Tai Chi fish, there are two copper eternal lamps, with strange styles.

I called out, "Come here quickly and see what this is."

Li Damin hurried over and returned the phone to me: "There is really no useful information inside." He saw the altar, looked at each other in front of me, and smiled: "It's getting more and more interesting."

"Do we call the police?" I asked softly. Things have begun to derail and a lot of things that are incomprehensible have appeared.

I thought Li Damin would not agree, but he thought for a while and said, "Let's talk about it after finding Wang Yue." He pointed to the coffin with his finger.

We can basically confirm that Wang Yue is in this closed coffin, and she can only be found by opening the coffin.

Since Wang Yue is in the coffin, there is only one possibility, that is, after she enters the coffin, she closes the lid from the inside. It is impossible for her little girl to be able to make the lid tightly and close even if it is tightly pressed, so the lid of the coffin must be equipped with a mechanism.

"Or why not try lighting the eternal light?" I blurted out, not knowing where the inspiration came from.

Li Damin nodded: "I think so too."

He took out the lighter from his pocket, came to the altar step by step, polished the flames, and pointed them at the wicks in the eternal light. I looked a little nervous from behind, but the flames flashed and the wicks lit up, and they started to burn. A thin white smoke lit up from the eternal lights, which quickly turned into the air and disappeared.

Li Damin took a step back while covering his nose, his face gloomy and unstable.

I walked over and smelled a faint fragrance on the lights.

"It smells." I whispered.

Li Damin looked solemn: "It may not be anything, maybe it's poison."

"You're thinking too much," I said, "This is not a martial arts novel." I took the lighter from his hand and told him that I'll light it up.

Li Damin made a gesture and showed it casually.

I squatted on the ground and burned another eternal lamp with flames. The flames pounded, and the wicks slowly burned, and then a stream of white smoke came out. I didn't dodge for a while. The white smoke just rushed into my nose and smelled the fragrance was both light and deep, rushing straight into the depths of my nose like a bug, making people feel ecstatic and numb.

I quickly stood up and handed the lighter to Li Damin. Li Damin shook his head and said, "We both smelled it, it's best if it's not poisonous, otherwise we'll have a big trouble." He smiled bitterly.

At this moment, a "crunching" sound suddenly came from the darkness.

The cool breeze blew from the back of my neck, and I looked at Li Damin in the sound, and saw that the huge black coffin lid was moving slowly!

"It's open?" I'm a little unbelievable.

Li Damin's throat moved: "I understand! The eternal light is the mechanism."

We looked at each other, and our faces were terrifying. From the beginning, I received a WeChat message, and came here to crack the password for the building hole, and now I use the eternal light to open the coffin... I seemed to be stepping into an indescribable trap, and every step was arranged by Wang Yue.

But why, she put so much effort into me and laying out these plans for me?

Li Damin took the initiative to get into the fire. He had nothing to do with him, so this kid took the initiative to wade into the muddy waters.

I suddenly thought of something, and there was a key that was difficult to explain... Just as I was about to think about it, Li Damin patted me and said to go over and take a look. The thought just now passed quickly, and if I thought about it carefully, I had nowhere to hide.

I had to follow him to the coffin. Before I could get in front of him, I stopped him and refused to get closer. We stood three steps away, and Li Damin shone into the coffin with a flashlight.

The coffin lid just moved a gap, so it was opened. It was still dark inside, and the flashlight could only sweep at the edge, and the scene inside was not real. Somehow, I always felt that there was a person lying inside. It should be Wang Yue.

It is impossible to stand in the distance and observe quietly. You must push the lid of the coffin completely open.

We came close to each other, one of us moved the other and pushed it out hard. As expected, the lid of the coffin was very light, just a thin layer of wooden boards. We moved the lid of the coffin to the ground, so that the entire coffin was revealed.

Li Damin shone in with a flashlight again, and I followed him in, and the light instantly illuminated the scene in the coffin. He and I looked at each other, with a look of surprise and doubt.
