Chapter 44 The Revelation of Silence
I was about to see what was in the sheepskin book, but I remembered that Shirley Yang was still tied and put on the ground, so I put the sheepskin book down first and prepared to untie it for her. Although it was strange that she repeatedly dreamed of ghost caves in her dreams, she shouldn't have been reincarnated by the evil spirit or the monster queen. It was a bit too much to treat her like this.
Shirley Yang was tied to the ground, and there was a lot of dust on her face. Coupled with her tears, it was almost the same as the big face singing Peking Opera. When she saw me approaching, she said angrily: "Damn Old Hu, please untie me quickly."
I told her what happened, gritted my teeth, slapped Shirley Yang in the face, and unbuttoned the belt that tied her hands.
I said, "I can't do anything, so I'll come up with this bad idea. Just beat me back. Just give me a few random shots." After that, he turned around and waited for Shirley Yang to slap me in the face. I was ready. I guess she wouldn't let it go if she didn't knock off my two front teeth.
Unexpectedly, Shirley Yang wiped the dust on his face, but did not hit me, and just said, "I don't want you to care about it now. I will settle this account later. It's important to find a way to get out of here first."
Shirley Yang took out a small box from his carry-on bag, which contained a small pill. After opening it, he sucked it in front of his nose, and handed me two more pieces, so that Fatty and I could smell it separately.
Shirley Yang said: "This is a highly concentrated extracted alcoholic stinky scent. It has a strong odor. It can stimulate the anterior lobes of the brain through the nasal mucosa and keep the mind clear. It can be used to assist drug rehabilitation and counteract the addiction of sterilization. Foreign explorers will bring a few capsules when going to the wild. Just in case, at the limit of hunger and fatigue, it can stimulate the brain nerves and prevent it from falling into a coma. However, it should not be used more frequently in a short period of time, otherwise it will have a strong negative effect. As for whether the hallucinations of magic flowers are effective, it is unknown."
I think the corpse fragrance konjac makes people hallucinate through the five senses, and these hallucinations come from the brain center. Shirley Yang's stimulating drug should have some effect of restraining hallucinations.
I gave the fat man a pill, opened it myself, and immediately aimed at his nostrils and sucked it. A strange and odorous breath rushed into my nose, choking me and coughing, but then I felt that my originally heavy mind was much more relaxed and very comfortable.
I said, "Why didn't you take this kind of good thing out earlier and give us a few pills on the stone beams, and you'd already uprooted the demon flower, and you won't be buried here now, and you're in a dilemma."
Shirley Yang said: "At that time, you ran back from the stone beam and told the reason, we knew that the corpse fragrance konjac would cause the people who came to the stone beam to hallucinate, and then they were attacked by countless black snakes. In just a few minutes, I don't know that those snakes were also illusions created by magic flowers. In addition, I think the corpse elephant konjac is not that simple. It has a magic power that points directly to the hearts of people. If it is too close, I think this medicine will not play a big role."
The five people entering the Tomb of the Saints were only Chen Ye and Ye who were confused. One was stimulated and the other was unconscious. Now Ye Yixin is dead. Professor Chen is crazy. He will not be confused by the corpse fragrance konjac. His appearance reminds us of the British expedition team that had entered the ruins of Jingjue Ancient City before. The only survivor of the expedition team was a madman. He must have seen the tragic situation of his companions killing each other, and was overstimulated.
Professor Chen's mood fluctuated in one day. He first suffered from the death of his sad assistant Hao Aiguo, and then found one surprise major discovery after another in the ruins of Jingjue. Suddenly, he saw his two students tragically die. Such great joy and sorrow have a great nerve blow to people, not to mention that he is old and finally has a nerve collapse and is completely crazy.
Thinking of this, I nodded with a heavy expression and said to Shirley Yang: "That dead flower is really great. Fortunately, we are intimate and united, so we will not be able to get into its plan of alienation. There is no tragedy of killing each other. Thinking about it now, I am really scared, but finally, Hu Dahe's blessing did not lead to a big mistake."
Shirley Yang suddenly sank his face and said, "Hu Bayi, you are too sly and have pushed your mistakes completely. Do you know how much I trust you. You not only lie to me, but I tell the truth, but also doubt that I am... What kind of monster is? Have you ever thought about how I feel? Do you know what it feels to be tied up by you two bad guys like animals, waiting for you to interrogate and ask about slaughter?"
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 pre-saint sheepskin booklet to Miss Yang to see if there is any good way to get out of trouble." After that, he took the opportunity to sneak up next to Professor Chen and did not dare to talk to Shirley Yang again.
Fortunately, Shirley Yang is not the kind of woman who is unreasonable after all. When I saw me slip away, he stopped pursuing it and started to watch the ancient sages of the saints.
I secretly complained, with her personality, I must spare me in the future. Today's work is done so much, and so many people have died. The hard money between Fatty and I was ruined again. His grandmother's, why is my old Hu so hard? He can even put his teeth in a sip of cold water.
I was curious about what was in the ancient book. Seeing Shirley Yang's expression was solemn, I couldn't tell whether it was joy or sorrow. Since the ancient saint could foresee our return to his tomb and opened the stone box, he must have left us something. What exactly is it? I could no longer hold back and asked, "What is the content in the book of the child's ancient saint?"
Shirley Yang held the ancient sheepskin book in his hand and said while looking: "It's all pictures drawn by the ancient sages, and it seems that there is a lot of content about ghost caves."
I never want to go back to any ghost cave in my life. The most important thing is whether there is a way out, but it is difficult to urge Shirley Yang, so I can only listen to her patiently.
Shirley Yang said: "You can only understand the whole story from the beginning, otherwise the final picture may not be interpreted. The beginning part is about the ancient Western Regions with a sacred mountain, which is the Zagrama Mountain where we are now located. The mountain is surrounded by rivers and many animals and plants. These four tribes live here..."
I looked at the fat man and thought that this American girl would start from scratch. It was so impatient. We were both anxious and wanted to know how to leave this narrow and depressing tomb, but we didn't dare to speak. Look at me, I looked at you, and I looked at you, so anxious that we were restless.
Shirley Yang continued: "The good times didn't last long. People found a bottomless cave in Zagrama Mountain. No one could go down to the bottom of the cave. Everyone wanted to figure out what world was in the cave. There was a high priest among the four tribes. He ordered people to build a jade eyeball, hoping to see whether this bottomless cave was auspicious or evil through the power of the true god. With a large-scale festival, not only did they not see clearly what was under the bottomless cave, but disaster began to come.
First, the high priest was blinded with his eyes and died of life. Then a strange snake appeared nearby that threatened the safety of humans and animals. There were many such snakes. They had a strange eye on their heads, which was very poisonous and killed countless people and animals. The four tribes elected two saints favored by the true gods, and led the warriors in the tribe to kill the female snake. This is a monster with a human head and snake body and limbs. It hatched eye-like eggs. Each egg can produce hundreds of strange snakes. If it is allowed to reproduce, the consequences will be unimaginable."
When the fat man heard this, he was surprised: "Good, there were such strange snakes with human heads in ancient times. Fortunately, we didn't meet them, otherwise it would be difficult to deal with."
Shirley Yang said: "It is certain that the sages first eliminated snakes, but there may not be snake beasts with human heads and snake bodies. Ancient people usually over-demonize important events, just like the war between the Yan Emperor Huangdi and Chiyou in China. It may be just a fight between hundreds of people between tribes, but in ancient records, it has been described as a super war where even the gods and hundreds of beasts joined."
I raised my big hunk and praised, "It's true that I'm a high opinion of my opinion. I don't know what happens next? Can I break it down as soon as possible?"
Shirley Yang gave me a blank look and then said, "The snake beast was swept away completely. The saint threw the corpses of snakes into the bottomless cave at the foot of Zagrama Mountain. The saint passed through the divine metaphor and learned that this cave was a cave of disaster, and the jade eyeball had opened the door to disaster. After that, a prophet was born in one of the tribes, that is, this child with prophecy. Well... Then the next thing is the prophet's prophecy after Zagrama Mountain. After the death of the tribe, the saint of the tribe was buried in Zagrama Mountain. The prophet could predict major events thousands of years later through rituals, but its scope was limited to the vicinity of Zagrama Mountain. This may be because the tribe who was regarded as god-like saints were buried here. The prophet's power was given by the two saints and the true gods."
Finally, it was time to get to the point. I listened carefully to Shirley Yang's words. Whether he could go out from this ghost place depends on how the prophet predicted. The answers to survival and death are about to be revealed, and my heartbeat has accelerated slightly.
Shirley Yang said: "Don't be so nervous. I just read it. There seems to be a revelation behind it that will allow us to leave Zagrama. However, we need to refer to the previous content. Don't worry, let's go step by step."
