Chapter 6 Everything starts from this moment
Lin Xi and others were moving forward in a secret passage. The passage became narrower as they walked, and people had to bend down. They felt a little tired from walking, and the smell was not very good. Even Lin Xi regretted why they came down.
However, most people have the intention of exploring. Apart from movies and TV series, they have never been exposed to a real secret room. Who didn't enter a secret room and then changed their life and reached the top?
I don’t know how long everyone had been walking slowly one after another. It probably lasted about five minutes. Suddenly, I saw a light in front of me. It was Du Jun and others who arrived first, pointing the direction for everyone.
When everyone walked out of the passage, they came to a secret room of about thirty square meters. It was not too crowded for fourteen people to stay here, but there seemed to be nothing here. It was empty as far as the eye could see.
One male classmate couldn't help but said: "No way, after all the effort, there is nothing. What kind of secret room is this? Isn't it a good place to hide treasures?"
Someone nodded in agreement: "It really can't be in vain. I believe that this secret room must be built for some purpose. There may be hidden compartments where valuable things are hidden. Let's look for it separately."
Lin Xi couldn't help but laugh: "You really think it's a treasure hunt. It's already good enough that you haven't encountered a ghost. Don't think too much."
After hearing this, a timid girl immediately became anxious: "Please Lin Xi, don't talk nonsense. If you really attract ghosts, you will be responsible."
"Okay, okay, I'm responsible. If the ghost really comes, let him catch me and you run away." Lin Xi said with a smile, and stuck out her tongue playfully, and then she suddenly said: "You guys
Look what this is."
Lin Xi's flashlight just happened to shine on the ground, and he discovered something, so he called more people to shine the flashlight over, obediently not to come. It turned out that the secret room was not empty, it was just a lighting problem, and everyone did not look carefully at first.
There are patterns drawn by thin lines on the ground. They are not drawn with a pen, but drawn with some kind of tool. If you don’t look carefully, you will not notice them. And this pattern is all over the floor of the secret room, and you can’t see the drawings.
what exactly is it.
At this time, someone said: "Why does it feel like scratching the wall with rocks when I was a kid?"
After hearing this, everyone suddenly realized that the fine lines really looked like scratches on the wall with stones, but the problem was that who had gone to such trouble to scratch the whole floor of this secret room with stones? He was not tired.
"Could this be a painter's secret studio before?" Someone speculated, but was quickly refuted: "Which painter likes to paint in a dark place."
Just when everyone couldn't help but laugh, someone suddenly said to Lin Xi: "Why do you, a great beauty, stand on a word "ugly"? This is so inappropriate and incongruous."
After hearing this, Lin Xi, Du Jun and others were surprised. When they lowered their heads, they saw that the lines on Lin Xi's feet formed the word "ugly". Although it looked a bit awkward, it was really the same word.
Someone couldn't help but joked: "The word "ugly" is really ugly." Then everyone agreed with this sentence.
"Let's see if there are any other words." Lin Xi said as he began to search, staring at the strange lines carefully, because they were too thin, so he had to look carefully.
At this time, Du Jun also discovered that there seemed to be another word for Shen here.
"Strange, is there someone here who is not drawing but practicing calligraphy?" Everyone searched carefully for a while with doubts and curiosity, and found that there were twelve characters in total, which happened to be Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu.
, Wei, Shen, You, Xu, Hai.
Some people couldn't help but exclaim: "Isn't this exactly the twelve hours?"
Lin Xi discovered that not only that, these twelve characters surrounded the city exactly in a circle, but besides these twelve characters, there were some lines that it was impossible to see what they were.
Then someone discovered something incongruous. The floor of this secret room was very flat, but it was slightly different in the middle. In addition to the lines, there was also a bulging part. And the bulging shape looked weird, a bit like
The crescent moon is irregular, because both ends of the crescent moon are pointed, but this shape is rounded on one end and sharp on the other. What is even more confusing is that there is a circle carved on it.
Du Jun suddenly thought of something and shouted: "Everyone, look around and see if there is another circle."
After hearing this, everyone searched around carefully. Because the flashlights were limited, everyone found it difficult, but as Du Jun said, there is really a circle. But the problem is that this circle does not look special.
Yes, it’s just a circle.
"As expected!" Du Jun seemed to have discovered something and couldn't help but laugh, making everyone curious and asking questions again and again.
Du Jun pointed to the raised piece and said, "Do you think it looks like a piece of Tai Chi with the two circles?"
After hearing this, everyone was surprised, and then they all lowered their heads to take a look. Sure enough, it looked a bit like Tai Chi. They secretly sighed that there might be something mysterious and mysterious like the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams depicted here.
At this time, Du Jun stepped on the raised piece. Unexpectedly, he stepped on it, and a clicking sound was heard, as if something was activated. Everyone's heart jumped, thinking that it was Du Jun who triggered it.
Some kind of mechanism.
The sound of caracara came from above, and everyone was frightened. They looked up and saw that a place on the ceiling of the secret room was opening, and there was actually a vent that went straight to the top of the mountain.
The bright moonlight shines down, through this intersection, into the secret room, and directly onto the Tai Chi diagram in the middle.
Lin Xi looked at the moonlight above the vent and couldn't help but wonder: "There was no moon when we climbed the mountain, how come it suddenly appeared."
"Maybe it was blocked by clouds before." Du Jun's face changed just after he finished speaking. The Tai Chi on the ground began to shine like the moon, and the thin lines on the ground became more obvious because of the brightness.
"No, what on earth is going on?" No one could understand, and their hearts were filled with fear of the unknown.
Gradually, the lines on the floor of the entire secret room lit up, showing a very mysterious picture, with Tai Chi in the middle, surrounded by Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu, and Hai.
Twelve hours are surrounding it, and the others are somewhat incomprehensible.
Some people were so frightened that they couldn't help but say: "We won't accidentally touch something we shouldn't touch."
Everyone's faces were nervous and scared, and some were even staring at the passage they came from, hoping to escape as soon as something went wrong.
Suddenly, the pattern on the ground that exuded the brilliance of the moon flashed strongly, making everyone feel dazzling. At the same time, something seemed to touch them deep in their hearts. They couldn't help but shudder, and then the light disappeared.
, the moon in the sky was covered by clouds again.
Everything calmed down again, but everyone was still feeling uneasy in their hearts. The strong flash of light just now, and the feeling of being touched deep in their souls, really gave them a bad premonition.
A timid girl couldn't help but said: "How about we go back." After saying this, she heard another banging sound coming from the vent above, as if something fell.
The sound of falling to the ground made everyone scared, but the shape looked like a stone, so they didn't pay attention to it. When they shined their flashlights on it, they couldn't help but take a breath, that was not a stone, that was a stone.
skull.
Some people couldn't bear it anymore. The timid girls screamed and ran away. The atmosphere of fear suddenly spread. Everyone turned around and ran away, not wanting to stay here any longer.
When Lin Xi and Du Jun stumbled out of the secret room, they saw everyone running down the mountain like frightened birds, wanting to get far away from this place that gave them nightmares.
At this time, Gu Fan and Lu Yi had just rushed to the mountainside when they saw people from the dance club running down in panic, and they immediately knew that something was wrong.
Just when Gu Fan was worried about Lin Xi, Lin Xi happened to run down. The two looked at each other. Gu Fan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Lin Xi was fine. Lin Xi knew the reason why Gu Fan appeared.
I immediately felt like I was being protected at all times.
If he hadn't taken the situation around him into consideration, Gu Fan would have really wanted to rush up and take Lin Xi away, but in the end he held Lin Xi's hand tightly and hurriedly left this ghost place.
Afterwards, everyone returned to the ancient town at the foot of the mountain. Many people vowed never to explore again, especially in such deep mountains and old forests.
Du Jun has been silent since he came back, and even deliberately avoided Gu Fan because Du Jun kept recalling how he mocked Gu Fan for being timid and afraid of climbing up late at night, and he was afraid of seeing Gu Fan mocking him in return.
However, Du Jun was thinking too much. Gu Fan only cared about Lin Xi's safety, so he had no intention of arguing with Du Jun.
Back at the B&B, Lin Xi told Gu Fan about what happened on the mountain. Gu Fan was stunned for a moment, wondering if the people in the dance club were collectively possessed by an evil spirit. This was too mysterious.
However, when Lin Xi mentioned the skull in the secret room, Gu Fan and Lu Yi couldn't help but feel cold in their hearts, because they had seen it before, and if it was a coincidence, they still felt panicked.
It was late at night, and everyone was tired after a lot of tossing. The two of them said goodbye and went back to their rooms. No matter what, everyone came back safely.
As soon as Gu Fan returned to the room, he fell down. He was really frightened by the cry on the mountain before and his nerves were tense. Now he is fine. Everyone is fine. It was just a false alarm. You can sleep peacefully.
As soon as I closed my eyes, I fell asleep within five minutes.
The next day, before Lin Xi woke up, she heard a rapid knock on the door from outside. She thought it was Gu Fan, but she didn't expect that the voice she heard was Du Jun's.
Lin Xi rubbed his eyes and took a deep breath. He was unwilling to open the door for Du Jun and said lazily: "What are you doing, brother? What time is it? We don't have class today."
