These giant corpses are kept in this underground river. I wonder if it will be useful for us to jump into the river? Anyway, there is no other way at this moment but to take a gamble.
But after jumping into the river, I remembered that I was not good at water.
This is the end of the world. This underground river can hide such a huge thing. You don't have to think about it to know that it must be very deep.
After falling into the water, I suddenly panicked. I jumped around a few times, choked on my mouth several times, and my mind immediately went blank.
As an old saying goes, if you often walk by the river, how can your shoes not get wet?
I have been in this industry for a long time because of fear, and I have seen all kinds of evil things. I never imagined that I would end up drowning in the end.
This made me so frustrated that I almost lost my breath on the spot.
If I really drowned like this, I think I would definitely fake my body after my death.
Just when I was about to faint completely, Wang Beichuan finally swam over and quickly pulled me to the surface.
As soon as my head showed up, I started coughing and vomiting like crazy, and vomited directly into the water in front of me, which made Wang Beichuan frown and look disgusted.
He quickly pulled me and swam to the river bank. I climbed up and took a look, only to find that the giant corpses were gone.
And the river in front of me looked very calm now, as if nothing happened just now.
"Is it an illusion?"
I quickly got up from the ground, and then vomited again. It wasn't until I spit out all the water I just drank that I felt a little better.
"It's an illusion. The sound made by these octagonal bells above your head can cause hallucinations."
After I took a breath, I quickly talked to Ma Huaiping and the others.
"Hallucination?"
Ma Huaiping frowned, then looked up at the hanging coffins above his head.
He was also wet now. He had obviously just climbed out of the river and was still dripping with water.
"right."
I nodded and said, "It's impossible for so many corpses to grow together. This is very unreasonable, so it must be an illusion, but this illusion can also kill people."
"How can hallucinations kill people?"
Wang Beichuan asked puzzledly from the side. He looked at me with a slightly disgusted look.
Thinking about the fact that we were both in the water just now, it was quite disgusting for me to vomit in front of him.
Thinking of this, I felt a little embarrassed, touched my forehead and said: "Although hallucinations cannot cause direct harm to people, they can kill people's consciousness. For example, in the situation just now, if we are bitten to death by those giant corpses, even though it is Hallucination, the body will not be injured, but the consciousness will also die, and the person will die inexplicably."
You must know that people can die for no reason. They are not injured, not sick, or even have any physical problems. They die inexplicably. This is the so-called death of consciousness.
This is a relatively sophisticated illusion.
Like ordinary illusions, after causing hallucinations, if the person dies, they will wake up from the illusion.
However, this relatively sophisticated illusion can kill people, which is equivalent to killing people's consciousness, thus indirectly causing people's death.
I think it was when we jumped into the river just now that we suddenly woke up and escaped from this illusion.
"I heard that you can kill people with illusions like this."
Ma Huaiping nodded and said with a heavy expression.
It is not surprising that such an illusion appears in such an ancient mausoleum, and this method of arranging illusions still exists today.
"If I had known better, I would have just closed my eyes and told myself that this was all an illusion."
Wang Beichuan curled his lips and said.
"It's not as simple as you think. The reason why this kind of illusion is so clever is that it makes it difficult for you to break away from it even if you know it is an illusion. Even if you close your eyes and tell yourself that it is all an illusion, the illusion still follows you. Still kills your consciousness.”
I shook my head and frowned.
"Then go, don't hallucinate again."
When Wang Beichuan heard this, he quickly walked upstream.
Naturally, Ma Huaiping and I didn't dare to delay. This illusion was caused by the sound of the octagonal bells above our heads. As soon as the wind blew in and the bells sounded, the illusion would follow.
So we both quickly followed him.
But not long after walking, another gust of cold wind blew in the cave, and then, the strange ringing sound filled the entire cave again.
"Quickly recite the meditation mantra, keep your mind close, and see if you can withstand this illusion."
I quickly greeted Ma Huaiping and Wang Beichuan, then quickly figured out the secret and recited the spell silently.
"Tai Shang Tai Xing, constantly adapting to changes, exorcising evil spirits and trapping evil spirits, protecting life and body, having clear wisdom, peaceful mind, three eternal souls, and no loss of soul..."
Most people in this meditation mantra business know how to do it. Ma Huaiping and Wang Beichuan sat down cross-legged on the spot, then began to meditate with their eyes closed, silently reciting the meditation mantra.
As expected, there were no hallucinations this time. The cave was eerily quiet, and the octagonal bells above the head stopped ringing for a while.
As soon as the wind stopped, we set off immediately and continued walking upstream along the underground river.
This time we walked not far and reached the end of the cave. What appeared in front of us was a straight upward staircase with hundreds of steps, all paved with thick stone strips.
The three of us climbed up the stairs. When we reached the top of the stairs, our view suddenly became wider.
There is a large open space in front of you. Directly in front of you is a huge stone gate embedded in the mountain wall. There are a pair of stone lions on both sides of the stone gate. The doorposts are even carved with dragons and phoenixes, showing the artistry of craftsmen.
The source of the underground river flows out from the mountain walls on the left and right sides of the stone gate. It flows down along the channels on both sides of the stairs, and finally merges together to form an underground river that flows all the way to the raging river outside.
It seems that this should be the main tomb chamber, it looks like the entrance of a palace.
I held up the flashlight and took a look, and suddenly I found that there seemed to be a person on the left side of the stone gate. I was about to step forward to check, but the flashlight suddenly went out.
When I pressed my phone, I realized that it was completely out of battery and could not even be turned on.
It can hold up to this point, and it was soaked in water just now. This phone can be regarded as the most benevolent one.
I had no choice but to take out the lighter from my pocket, and then I leaned over to take a look.
At this sight, the three of us all changed our colors. Unexpectedly, the body lying on the left side of the stone gate turned out to be Wang Shaoyang.
I stretched out my hand to feel his breath and pulse, and found that the man had been dead for a long time, and even the body was cold.
