I saw three people on the mural. The one on the far right was tall and burly, much taller than the other two people. He raised his right hand high and pointed to the sky with his index finger; the one on the far left was petite and had a hair on his head. She had a ponytail that was sticking up. She stretched out her left hand and pointed at the ground with her index finger. The man in the middle had a normal body and shape, but there was an extremely weird smile on his face. .
I looked at this weird painting on the wall and couldn't help but swallow. At this time, Xiong Ming said from the side: "This painting clearly depicts the three of us!"
As he spoke, Xiong Ming pointed at the strong man on the far right and said: "Look, the tall one is me, and the short one has braids and is a girl. You don't have to ask, it must be the fourth girl, so the rest is fine." You are the one who is special..."
Xiong Ming pointed at me while talking, but Hua Muling suddenly interrupted Xiong Ming. She first pointed to the position between Xiong Ming and me on the mural, and then said after a while: "As you do, If so, then who is this person?”
Hua Muling's words made Xiong Ming and I's hair stand on end for a moment, and we hurriedly looked at the mural.
To be honest, I didn't see anything at first.
But when I stared at the mural for a long time, I faintly saw a strange human face between me and Xiong Ming on the mural.
The man's face was very blurry, and you couldn't see it clearly unless you looked carefully.
Xiong Ming also squeezed over at this time, looked at it for a long time, and then said with a blank expression: "Where is the human face?"
Hua Muling pointed to the spot between me and him on the mural and said, "Isn't this here?"
Xiong Ming scratched his head and said, "Where is it? Are you two dazzled?"
I ignored Xiong Ming and rubbed the painting on the wall with my index finger.
The mural is made of colorful paints, which looks very new and bright. I rubbed it with my index finger and a large piece of color came off the mural.
I frowned slightly and murmured, "This mural seems to have been painted not long ago."
At this time, Hua Muling also came over, holding a piece of fallen wall covering in her hand.
I looked at the wall covering in Hua Muling's hand and said, "What are you doing with a piece of wall covering?"
Hua Muling said: "This is not wall covering! I just saw it, and it looks like some kind of grass that was minced and mixed with water."
I was a little surprised when I took the wall covering from Hua Muling's hand and weighed it in the palm of my hand. It was indeed very light, and there were some light yellow grass clippings exposed at the edge.
I looked at the "wall skin" in my hand, and after being silent for a while, I said, "What do you mean..."
Hua Muling nodded before I could finish my words and said, "Yeah! Someone must have known that we would come here, so they left clues for us in advance..."
I continued: "Then maybe he was afraid that others would see it, so he covered up the mural he painted."
"Then the problem arises..." Xiong Ming came over with a serious look, "Who is he afraid of seeing?"
I rarely see Xiong Ming look so serious, and I can’t help but laugh from the bottom of my heart. I tried hard to hold it in for a long time, but I still couldn't hold it in, so I laughed out loud.
Xiong Ming looked at me with contempt and said, "What's so funny about you girl? I'm talking seriously here! Could it be that my analysis is wrong?"
I covered my mouth and said: "Nothing...nothing...Detective Xiong...you continue to analyze..."
Xiong understood me and didn't say anything. Instead, he held his chin and thought for a while, and then suddenly said: "Hmph... According to my analysis, there is only one truth... and that is... "
"What is it?" Hua Muling and I asked almost in unison.
Xiong Ming smiled crookedly and said: "That's... that person thought his painting was too ugly, so he covered it up again! That's right! That must be the case!"
"I'll wipe it!"
I had thought about countless unreliable conclusions before this kid spoke, but I never expected that this guy could actually come up with such a sentence.
At that moment, Hua Muling and I stood stunned on the spot. If it were a cartoon, we would probably have all kinds of black lines painted on our faces.
Xiong Ming saw that no one responded for a long time after he finished speaking, so he turned his head and looked at Hua Muling and me and asked, "What? Doesn't what I said make sense?"
I smiled awkwardly, then looked into Xiong Ming's eyes and said meaningfully, "Get out...!"
Xiong Ming heard my words come out for a long time, and said a little unhappy: "Hey! Look at how jealous you are..."
Hua Muling said from the side: "Okay! Stop making trouble! Don't worry about what the purpose of that person is. At least he doesn't pose a threat to us now. Just pay more attention!"
Xiong Ming said: "Then what should we do now?"
Hua Muling frowned and said, "It's important to find a way out first!"
I nodded and said, "That's right! This shouldn't be a closed space. There must be a way out, but we haven't found it yet."
Xiong Ming said: "Did we miss any clues?"
Hua Muling said: "It's possible! Hu Tian, what do you think...!?"
I didn't answer Hua Muling's eloquent words, because at this moment, I suddenly noticed the two hands up and down on the mural.
"Why does that guy want the two people at the end, one pointing to the sky and the other pointing to the ground?" I muttered to myself, "Is there something that cannot be explained here?"
Thinking of this, I raised my head and looked up in the direction of one of the fingers.
Sure enough, I found a stone door on the ceiling directly above me.
This discovery made me scream in surprise, pointing to the stone door above my head, and shouted: "Door! There is a stone door above our head!"
"What? Where is it?" Xiong Ming and Hua Muling looked in the direction of my finger.
After seeing the door above his head, Xiong Ming shouted excitedly, "Ho ho ho... I said we are too lucky to die!"
Halfway through, Xiong Ming squatted down, pointed at his neck, and said, "Hu Tian, I'll give you a ladder. Can you go up and see what's going on?"
I nodded and said, "Okay!"
Before I finished speaking, I turned over and sat on Xiong Ming's neck.
Xiong Ming's body was not lacking in strength. He used his legs to lift me, weighing 1,670 kilograms.
With Xiong Ming, a guy nearly two meters tall, as a ladder, I easily reached the door.
The stone door was not big, one meter square. I pushed hard but it didn't move at all, as if it was completely sealed.
I was unwilling to give in, and then tried several times, but the result was still the same. The stone door seemed to weigh a thousand pounds and could not be pushed open at all.
Xiong Ming asked from under me: "Hu Tian, how are you?"
I said: "No! It can't be pushed! This stone gate is sealed! There's no way..."
I originally wanted to say "I can't push it away at all", but I was only halfway through my words when I suddenly swallowed it back, because at this moment, I suddenly found a line of words written on the right side of the stone door.
I shouted to Xiong Ming below me: "Dali Xiong, move a little to the right!"
Xiong Ming heard the sound and shouted: "Okay!"
After saying that, he took a big step to the right.
"Enough...enough..."
Xiong Ming still wanted to move, but I quickly stopped him.
I held the stone door with both hands and looked carefully at the words on the stone door. Although the door was covered with dust and sand, the words could still be easily read.
"The abyss will always be across from the heaven! Only those who are not afraid of the abyss can reach the sacred heaven!"
"What does this mean?" Xiong Ming frowned and said, "Why does it sound like poetry?"
Hua Muling frowned slightly and said, "I seem to have heard Xiao Niya say this before... This should be... It should be a line from a certain lost poem... "
Xiong Ming had already put me down at this time. I looked at Hua Muling and asked, "Do you know what it means?"
Hua Muling murmured the words in her mouth, "The abyss will always face the heaven across the other side! Only those who are not afraid of the abyss can reach the sacred heaven... The abyss will always face the heaven across the other side! Only those who are not afraid of the abyss will always face the heaven. Only those who live in the abyss can reach the sacred heaven... The abyss is separated from the heaven... In other words, the opposite side of the heaven is the abyss. If we can't open it above, then will the exit be under our feet directly below... ?”
