paradox

Chapter 50 After Shimen

When crossing the river, Wen Yu, who was at the front of the team, slowed down slowly, and his face didn't look too good. I handed the ancient seal to Jing Yan to let her go first, and went to see Wen Yu's situation myself.

"Are you still feeling unwell?" I held her arm, hoping to help, "Have you taken the medicine Xichi gave you?"

Wen Yu shook his head, "I ate it, but it didn't work. I didn't feel anything before, but now I feel like I've been poured into the water."

Maybe it was because she was too tired. She made a conclusion that she didn't want to continue this topic. She pushed my hand away and wanted to go by herself. Seeing that Jing Yan in front had already walked to the gate, I didn't worry anymore.I let go of her hand lightly, but Wen Yu suddenly lost her center of gravity and was about to fall headlong into the water. I frantically went to get her clothes, but unexpectedly saw the arm covered by the long sleeve, which was entangled with fibers. The same thing, now slowly extending to the shoulders.

"You..." She stopped me before I could say anything, she lowered her voice and said, "If I can't hold on any longer, I'll find a place to end it myself. Before that, I don't want others to worry."

I looked her in the eyes and nodded, and she let go.

It's only been a day and a half, how could it be infected so quickly?I frowned, besides, Xichi's medicine has been suppressed, and Shang Yang, who has not taken the medicine, has never seen it as serious as Wen Yu.

Is there a problem with the medicine?

"Wen Yu, don't take medicine first, and tell me when you feel uncomfortable, don't hold on." I leaned closer to her and said, since I'm close to her, it's really not easy to have my own secrets.

"The door is open, come in quickly!" Jing Yan jumped up the steps, the stone door was already open, the music could see the fire light inside, this kind of lighting device should be the same as the outside one, once it comes into contact with the air, it will spontaneously ignite.There is a stone lion on both sides of the inside of the door. The red cloth originally wrapped around the neck of the stone lion is now too tattered to distinguish its original appearance.

As soon as Shi Kong walked in, it immediately changed into its original shape. Jing Yan picked it up curiously, and she also chased her tail around, not knowing what happened.

"Look at the inscription on the lion." Xichi pushed aside the tattered red cloth, revealing the dark golden text, "This is something like a prohibition, which can exclude all non-physical factors."

"To put it simply, it's to beat monsters like Mukong back to their original form, right?" I jumped aside to avoid the claws of Mukong and asked, "Then it's safer here than outside, you see, with these things, monsters and ghosts I can't come in." I shrugged, which also means that the person Brother Han wants to find will not show up here.

"Well, but the premise is that this inscription has not been destroyed." After Xichi glanced at it, he stopped paying attention to it, waiting for us to decide on the next step.

I took out the map that Wendi had extended. The internal structure was no longer as monotonous as the outer one. It was also left-right symmetrical, and the interior was more like the layout of the imperial capital. Like the stars arching the moon, all the buildings revolved around the center. Peripheral expansion.

Jingyan still needs to find her family, so we have to search all the places we can. "Let's go forward, it should be the main entrance. The small buildings on both sides are more like gathering places for the common people, especially on the right side, there is a stone tablet protected by blue tiles, and there is a small stone tablet on both sides. Looking carefully, there seems to be some sticky notes on it, those two scarlet words should be notices?" Turning his head, he asked Wen Di.

Wen Di took a look over there and agreed, "This should be an ancient capital city, the most typical layout. In front are the streets and alleys where common people live, followed by princes and ministers, and the center is the imperial capital. I used to think that this tomb Master's taste is very strange, the last one who wished that he could become emperor and command thousands of troops was Qin Wang Yingzheng."

"And the degree of restoration here is also very high. You can see that the vacant space on both sides should be for planting trees." Mo Han took a photo of the square space on both sides of the stone lion with his mobile phone. The tree did not appear.After all, it is underground, and no matter how willful it is, it cannot violate the laws of nature.

"Let's go in directly through the main entrance. Since we have broken into the place where other people sleep, we shouldn't be sneaky." I looked around, only twice, a few small residential buildings, the main building materials are still stones, and they are also useful. Where there is wood, there are mostly windows, doors and the like.

"Since we have worked so hard to restore such a capital, we should not focus on those inconspicuous places." Xiaomo added, "Of course we will check these places again in the end." Yan is relieved that if her family is still alive, there will be some noises, but now I feel only silence.

"Then it's settled. I also want to see what our family has been protecting for hundreds of years?" Jing Yan didn't care. Recently, I always feel that the purpose of your coming here is not as clear as before.

After climbing dozens of steps, we passed under the huge rectangular arch and came to a new platform.

Although it is also paved with bluestone slabs, the difference can be seen at a glance. Although the bluestone slabs are used underneath, it looks more like floor tiles used in the country from the outside.This visual illusion is deliberately given to us to restore the original appearance of the capital. As for the selected materials, it is for longer preservation.

After entering the main entrance, the bluestone slabs under our feet were also engraved with patterns, and the colors were consistent and no longer as chaotic as below.A tall building stood in front of us, and the road was divided into left and right sides.On the left is an ordinary residential area. From a distance, you can even see clothes hanging on wooden racks. On the right is probably an inn or something. The word "wine" on the red lantern is very conspicuous.

"It's still the same as before. The places that should be trees or flowers and plants have been vacated." Brother Han said, looking at some deliberately left space, "but the buildings and people have been completely restored."

Pushing open the gate of this martial arts arena, there is another open space, with red war drums standing on both sides, two people fighting in the center of the arena, and the rest standing on both sides to watch, with different expressions, some cheering and applauding I gestured to the person next to me on a whim. If it wasn't for that livid face, I would have thought I had seen a living person the first time I saw it.

The weapons in our hands are real knives and real guns. We rushed in and looked around, and the soft armor we were wearing was also... I glanced at Wen Yu, and she stretched out five fingers silently. I understand, anyway A few zeros more than I guessed.

"The door can also be pushed open!" Shang Yang seemed to have discovered a new world, bypassing a strong man standing at the door, and gently pushed the door open. "This is supposed to be a place to eat," she opened a few more doors. "This is where weapons are stored, and this is where they sleep. Look, there are also the clothes they changed!"

Once a child's curiosity is aroused, it will be amazing!But this time, Xichi didn't let her play around, and led her out of the room, "Don't run around, hold my hand."

"(⊙o⊙) Wow, that's great! I also want to hold hands." Jing Yan shouted with a girlish face, "It would be great if someone could hold hands for me."

Crazy hints!

Shi Kong, who was always nestled in his pocket, could only grind his teeth angrily.

"Close your eyes, and I will lead you." Wen Yu raised his eyebrows, "Since the little boss has asked for it, my service spirit is full marks, and I will do it until you are satisfied."

Wen Di gently tugged on Wen Yu's sleeve, Wen Yu lowered his head and said with a smile, "I'll hold it for you later."

After beckoning Jing Yan to close her eyes, Wen Yu asked Brother Han to help carry the things over silently, "Hands are a bit cold, if the little boss doesn't mind, you can hold them directly."

Jing Yan didn't open her eyes at Wen Yu's request, she stretched out her hand tentatively and just touched her fingertips, then retracted it like a conditioned reflex. "Wen Yu, are you bluffing me? Why is it so cold?"

"Once a person is in a dangerous situation, he will think wildly. You should know better than me. After all, you rely on this to make a living. I just didn't expect the little boss to be so timid, which matches your age." Wen Yu opened After entering the mocking mode, Jing Yan couldn't help but stretch out her hand to hold it, and after standing still for half a minute, she threw it away again, this time with a more ferocious expression than before.

"It's just a statue. Is there any need to be so afraid?" Wen Yu patted her shoulder maturely.

Jing Yan panicked and explained, "I seemed to feel his pulse just now. At that moment, it was very clear, and it was really like a living person. That's why I threw it away, otherwise you really thought you could Can you fool me?!"

"Heartbeat?" Brother Han leaned close to the chest of the stone statue, then tried several others, and tapped with his fingers, "It must be an illusion, right? There is nothing wrong with these stone statues, and they are all hollow." He took out the long sword in the hand of a stone statue and stabbed it at the chest of the stone statue. The stabbed place was instantly sunken, leaving a small space.Sure enough, it is hollow.

"Have you played enough?" Xichi asked, looking at the time, "Don't forget our business."

She is probably the least qualified to talk about serious business here. She has been particularly interested in the future plan since yesterday, and I don't know if she has discovered information that we don't know.

"Well, Ah Chi is right. I played too much just now. Don't we have to explore this tomb? It's time to go." Shang Yang chuckled, intending to expose this matter.

Everyone also realized their mistake, put the things back in place and started the investigation again.First is the residential area on the left. After opening the rooms next to each other, I found nothing special. Some neighbors were chatting outside the house, some were sitting under the eaves to rest, and most of them were making tea inside the house.It seems that the weather is not so good. Compared with going out, more people choose to stay at home.

Isn't this the three-dimensional picture of going up the river during the Qingming Festival?The owner of the tomb stopped time forever at this moment, there was no war, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment.

In ancient times, the left was respected and the right was humbled, and with the emphasis on agriculture and business, all the inns, piano workshops, granaries and wine warehouses were placed on the right side.But obviously the right side is decorated with lights and festoons, which is much more lively than ordinary residential areas.

The waiter was still greeting outside the door, and there were a few scattered tables in the inn, some of them were in the posture of pouring wine, but there was no wine in the jug in their hands, and there were some dishes on the dinner plate.

"This is glaze, it looks like it's just for modeling." Mo Han poked the bamboo chopsticks beside him and explained, "These chopsticks are also porcelain. It seems that the owner of the tomb has put a lot of effort into building this palace."

"This shopkeeper has hidden his private money!" Wen Yu took off the painting on the back of a fat middle-aged man, and a compartment appeared, with some broken gold ingots in the brocade pocket.

"Look, when he slaps his shoe on the ground, a dagger can be stretched out! It turns out that he is a master of the rivers and lakes, please forgive me!" Shang Yang cupped his hand with that shoe.

"Be careful!" Xichi pulled her to one side, and three short arrows missed her, but it didn't stop, and she dodged the other two arrows with another roundabout.

The source was the people at the other table. Those three people had fierce eyes, staring straight at the strong man next to Shang Yang.

"The bluestone slabs under their feet can be moved. It should be designed so that once the man makes any moves, the mechanism on the opposite side will be touched, or something." I responded, very delicate design.

Well, it's almost here, and then move the position.

"What's wrong?" Xi Chi pulled Shang Yang to the front.

Shang Yang shook his head and smiled innocently, "It's nothing, I just think you are very handsome and provocative today, I really like it."

Xichi snorted coldly and shook off his hand, ignoring it.

Shang Yang got cheap and acted like a good boy, and hurriedly posted, "Didn't I want to hold your hand? How can I hold your hand when you walk so fast?"

He didn't say anything, but Xichi still obediently handed over his hand.

We, who had been sprinkled with dog food, hurried on our way while observing the surrounding situation. Although we were sure that Jing Yan's illusion was impossible, we still paid more attention to the stone statues on the street.

The author has something to say:

It should be enough this time.
