The film and television city starts from the courtyard

Chapter 2119 Shi Liang

Zhao Shucheng looked at the others who had been attracted by the Kunlun Sacred Tree and the Corpse Fragrant Amorphophallus, nodded, and said, "Of course there are other passages."

Wang Kaixuan asked curiously: "No, why do you think so?"

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "Fat man, let me ask you a question." '

"Okay, you ask!"

"The mural we saw in the tomb of Prince Gumo said that after the death of Queen Jingjue, the kingdom and slaves ruled by Queen Jingjue rebelled and killed the people of Jingjue Kingdom. So do you think they would want to Crushing Queen Jingjue to ashes?"

Wang Kaixuan was stunned for a moment and said: "This is not impossible. After all, if it were me, I would definitely do this. But what does this have to do with other channels?" '

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said: "You also said yes, then if Jingjue Country is in a life-or-death crisis, will it choose to retreat into the underground palace and fight stubbornly?"

"Maybe?" Wang Kaixuan hesitated.

"In that case, tell me, if you are stubbornly resisting in this place, which is a place that is closed to all, and with the protection of Jingjian Ahan, how many people do you think can reach the Queen Jingjue's place? Next to the coffin?"

"Maybe they saw that there was no hope and just left?"

Zhao Shucheng shook his head and said: "We don't think those people will give Jingjue Country a chance to revive, so they will definitely make preparations in advance."

As Zhao Shucheng seemed to have discovered something, he smiled and said, "You must know that the construction of ancient emperors' tombs was the most dangerous work. The moment these tombs were completed was the moment their lives ended. After all, Only the dead can keep secrets."

"Now that they know this is the case, then the workers who built the tombs will naturally find ways to leave a way out for themselves. This is also the case in many emperors' tombs, but they will not be known easily. What's more, the Kingdom of Jingjue has strict regulations on slaves and others. The people of the kingdom exercise high-pressure rule, and those who build the tomb must be slaves and people from other kingdoms. They will not think that Queen Jingjue will let them live, so self-rescue is what they must do, so there is another way. It’s a matter of course.”

"The reason why the Jingjue Kingdom was exterminated was because the slaves who escaped from the passage entered here with the resisters through another passage, thus cooperating inside and outside to eliminate the last resistance of the Jingjue Kingdom."

After hearing this, Wang Kaixuan thought for a moment and found that it was reasonable, and asked: 'Then have you found the passage? '

"Of course, it's right here, but it's not time to open it yet. Lao Hu and the others are too close."

It turned out that when Zhao Shucheng was chatting with Wang Kaixuan, other people had already made appointments with two people, and they were almost about to come into contact with the Kunlun Sacred Tree and the Corpse Fragrant Amorphophallus.

"Professor!" In the eyes of Hu Bayi and others, Xiao Sa and Xiao Chu pointed at the Kunlun Sacred Tree and said: "The stone platform seems to be engraved with ghost cave characters. As the Kunlun Sacred Tree is the coffin of Queen Jingjue, there must be the ancient city of Jingjue on it. Important information, let’s copy it down.”

Without waiting for others to say anything, the two of them walked directly to the front, untied their climbing ropes, and walked directly to the stone beam. However, the two of them did not copy the text. Instead, they walked directly to the corpse-scented konjac step by step.

Although Hu Bayi also fell into the illusion, his IQ was still online. He noticed something was wrong and said, "Something's wrong!"

Although Wang Kaixuan's legs were a little weak, he saw Hu Bayi's pale face and asked worriedly: "Old Hu, what's wrong with you? What's wrong?"

"I don't know, it just feels like something is wrong."

"What's wrong, what's going on?"

Hu Bayi shined his flashlight in front of him and said, "I can't explain clearly, but it just feels like everything is wrong."

When Zhao Shucheng saw Hu Bayi, he untied the rope and went to find Xiao Sa and Chu Jian. He took Hu Bayi's hand and said, "Fat man, can you see the ghost cave inscriptions on the stone beam?"

The fat man was stunned for a moment, looked at the stone beam in the distance, and said, "Is there any writing on it? It's so dark that you can't see anything. There should be something there, right?"

"Lao Hu, Shirley, where are you?"

Hu Bayi and Shirley Yang suddenly came back to their senses after being reminded by Zhao Shucheng. They looked at the stone beams in the distance and said, "It's true that they couldn't see clearly, but just now..."

Zhao Shucheng said: "You also said that just now, do you think you really saw it just now, or did you only see it because of Xiao Sa and Xiao Chu's words?"

Hu Bayi looked at Zhao Shucheng with some confusion and asked, "Master Zhao, please stop being dumb. What's going on?"

Just as he was talking, Hu Bayi suddenly heard movement on the stone beam, and saw Sa Di Peng suddenly hit Chu Jian on the back of the head with the flashlight in his hand, and then pushed Chu Jian down the stone beam and fell into the In the bottomless abyss.

Then Sa Di Peng suddenly went crazy, sneered and hit his head with a flashlight, and then fell directly in front of the corpse-scented konjac.

When Professor Chen saw this scene, he suddenly lost control of his emotions and said, "Xiao Sa, Xiao Chu! How could this happen? They are the best, best friends..."

Professor Chen seemed unable to bear such a blow and fainted immediately.

Hu Bayi was a little worried when he saw it, and said, "Master Zhao, what's going on? You know that something is wrong, why don't you let us rescue them?"

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said: "Lao Hu, Shirley, haven't you noticed something is wrong? Think about what happened along the way. Why did you turn a blind eye to the stone bridge when it was clearly there? Even this passage, if the fat man hadn't said , can you not see it either?”

"What do you mean?" Shirley Yang asked.

"The meaning is very simple. Since entering the underground passage, all of us have been under the illusion. What we see is not necessarily true." Seeing that Hu Bayi and Shirley Yang looked a little unbelievable, Zhao Shucheng pointed out Pointing to Professor Chen's side, he said: "You still remember where Xiao Sa and Xiao Chu were. They untied the climbing rope. Why didn't the rope change at all? After Professor Chen fainted, this rope pulled us. This power We can feel it. Did you feel it when they untied the rope just now?

"But this is not a reason to ignore death."

"But who said Xiao Sa and the others are here? Don't forget, Professor Hao Aiguo and Xiao Sa were supposed to be out doing archeology, even Ye Yixin was the same, but they caught up with them effortlessly, and you didn't have any Have you ever doubted it?”

Hearing what Zhao Shucheng said, Hu Bayi and Shirley Yang suddenly came to their senses. They looked at Hao Aiguo and the sad Ye Yixin who were taking care of Professor Chen not far away, but they still couldn't pretend that they really didn't exist.

"Master Zhao, just say it directly, we really can't guess it."

"Well, corpse-scented konjac not only keeps the human body from decaying, but also contains the soul of evil spirits. If a living person gets close to it, the evil spirit will take away his body and become his slave."

Zhao Shucheng pointed at the corpse-scented konjac and said, "Then the question is, does the corpse-scented konjac really contain the soul of evil spirits, or can it cause people to hallucinate without knowing it? We have never seen the soul. , even ghosts are only spread in some stories, so let’s pretend that they don’t exist. So if you want to make people enter hallucinations, they can only be hallucinations caused by people being poisoned, such as poisonous mushrooms, or some flower scents.”

"The corpse-scented konjac has existed in this cave for thousands of years. It has blossomed and bloomed again. Its floral fragrance has long been spread throughout the cave. It even entered the underground passage after the Qianjin Gate was destroyed, so we unknowingly had hallucinations after entering. , I didn’t notice anything strange along the way, except for the fat man and me.”

"Wait a minute, you said that we were all under an illusion, but we didn't find anything wrong along the way?" Shirley Yang retorted as if she didn't believe what Zhao Shucheng said.

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said: 'Really not? '

Hu Bayi stopped Shirley Yang, who wanted to argue with Zhao Shucheng, and said: "There is indeed something wrong. The stone bridge that Fatty found was not seen by all of us. Only Fatty saw it at a glance, and this path too. There is something wrong with that in itself.”

Zhao Shucheng nodded and said: "Yes, it seems that even if you, Lao Hu, were under the illusion, at least you haven't lost your brain and can still think normally."

Hu Bayi asked: "But why are you two fine? It's understandable that you have some mysterious methods. Where is the fat man?"

The fat man looked at Hu Bayi unhappily and said, "Old Hu, what do you mean?"

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said: "The fat man was actually also caught in the illusion, but he was carrying the jade pendant of the Jingjue Kingdom with him, so the fat man could discover some things that the illusion could not eliminate. But this illusion seems to be based on everyone's It can be set by desire, or it can be greed, or other aspects. For example, in the underground before, what you saw were gold and silver jewelry everywhere, and what Professor Chen saw were all kinds of precious cultural relics from the Western Regions, but there were none. People who use illusions see pieces of bones, occasionally mixed with a little bit of gold and silver jewelry.”

Hearing what Zhao Shucheng said, Wang Kaixuan suddenly thought of something. He looked at Zhao Shucheng with a bad expression and said, "Master Zhao, don't tell me that the jewelry I held in my hand and the photos I took were all fake. "

Zhao Shucheng nodded and said: "I didn't expect you kid to have such a heavy appetite. You used a snake bone as a pearl and even a finger bone as a gold coin. Fortunately, you didn't stuff it into your mouth, otherwise..."

The fat man seemed to be able to imagine that scene. He immediately covered his mouth, retched twice and said, "Stop talking."

Hu Bayi was more receptive and said: "What should we do now? We have been under an illusion. There is no way that after knowing it, they will let us go back the way we came, right?"

Shirley Yang said: "Yes, my goal is to find this place. I have even dreamed of this place before. I even walked along the stone pier until I came to the front of the coffin of Queen Jingjue. If I had not arrived here, I would have I only think that I have thoughts and dreams every day, but now it is the same as in my dream, and I must solve this doubt. "

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said: "It's not impossible to solve this doubt, but you can't go like this. The illusion of corpse-scented konjac is not that simple. At first, it was far away, just letting you walk in the illusion, but as you get closer, , the strong fragrance of flowers will make you more and more trapped in the illusion, so if you want to get close to the coffin of Queen Jingjue, you must first solve the corpse-scented konjac, and you must eliminate the roots to keep the illusion in its current state. ”

"If it's like what you said, the illusion becomes more powerful the closer we get, how can we get closer?"

Zhao Shucheng said: "As I said, illusions vary from person to person, and fat people are milder, but I am basically not affected by the aroma of corpse-scented konjac, so we are the most suitable candidates."

As he spoke, Zhao Shucheng pulled the fat man, untied the climbing rope on his body, and walked forward step by step.

The fat man said uncomfortably: "No, Mr. Zhao, you can go alone. Why are you dragging me along? I'm afraid of heights, and I'm not a person who can withstand temptation."

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said: "Don't worry, I'm here, you just have to watch from the side." '

While Zhao Shucheng and Wang Kaixuan were talking, they came to the stone beam and saw that the corpse-scented konjac was emitting light and seemed to be shrinking and squirming, as if it was about to bloom.

Zhao Shucheng would not give Corpse Fragrance Amorphophallus too much time. He directly took out the scimitar from his back and slashed at Corpse Fragrance Amorphophallus' body. He dropped the flower first off the stone beam and fell into the bottomless abyss. Together with Zhao Shucheng and Fatty Wang, they used engineering shovels to cut up the corpse-scented konjac and throw them all into the ghost cave.

As all the corpse-scented konjacs fell into the ghost cave, the others were in a trance, and then became somewhat conscious.

Hu Bayi's performance was particularly obvious. He glanced around and saw that Hao Aiguo and Ye Yixin, who were still taking care of Professor Chen before, were gone. The body of Sa Di Peng, which was still at Zhao Shucheng's feet before, also disappeared out of thin air.

Hu Bayi and Shirley Yang looked at Zhao Shucheng in horror and asked, "What on earth is going on?" Could it be that Professor Hao and Xiao Sa are really our own figments?'

Zhao Shucheng looked at the few people who were still in a daze and said, "What are you waiting for? Don't you want to come over and have a look? Hurry up, we must leave immediately."

Hu Bayi and others supported Professor Chen and came to the stone beam. They looked closely at Queen Jingjue's coffin. There were iron chains tied to it, and it looked like it was not easy to open.

Zhao Shucheng did not pay much attention to Queen Jingjue's coffin. Ever since the corpse-scented konjac was cut off, Zhao Shucheng felt a deep malice. The sense of crisis that could be felt outside the ancient city of Jingjue before, suddenly became looming after entering the underground passage. Zhao Shucheng originally thought that the crisis had been eliminated, but unexpectedly it was covered up by the corpse-scented konjac.

Just when Zhao Shucheng sensed which direction the threat was coming from, Hu Bayi and the others encountered trouble again. They originally wanted to open the coffin of Queen Jingjue, but before they could take action, they saw a kind of flower starting to grow from the edge of the coffin.
