everything can be done

Stepping over the picture scroll, Jiang Fengbai's eyes darkened, and he came to another tomb passage.

The tomb passage was filled with mist, and the scent of sweet-scented osmanthus was mixed in it, making it even colder.At the end is the door of the tomb, which is made of stone. There is a mirror embedded in the door, which is divided into two parts. The edge is a relief, and there is a gemstone on the top and bottom.The closer to the stone gate, the thinner the fog, and the darker the color of the gemstone.

Suddenly footsteps came from behind, Jiang Fengbai turned his head and saw that it was Bai Jiu and Xu Cheng who were holding flashlights.

Seeing that Jiang Fengbai was fine, Bai Jiu let out a long sigh of relief, and tentatively approached Shimen.The mirror just reflected his figure, and in a blink of an eye, he turned into a white tiger with nine tails. "Isn't it a cat?" Xu Cheng hid behind him and poked his head out curiously.

"Sanshijian..." Bai Jiu rubbed his chin with an expression of disbelief.

Xu Cheng didn't get the answer he wanted, so he just walked out, and found that there was no shadow of Jiang Fengbai in the mirror: "How could this be?" As he was speaking, he looked at his appearance in the mirror, the same as the dream in Chongyang Mountain that day. The same as the one I arrived, with white clothes and long hair, the left eye is silvery white, but the right eye is still ordinary black.

When Xu Cheng's image broke into the mirror, the stone door made a muffled sound and slowly opened a crack.The scent of sweet-scented osmanthus came out again, everyone calmed down and walked in through the crack of the door.The tomb is full of night pearls, bright and bright, and it turns out to be piles of bones.Xu Cheng took a deep breath, seemed to wake up suddenly, and immediately touched a certain corpse that hadn't completely decomposed with trembling hands.After turning it over, everyone found that it was a child under ten years old, with a familiar face, as if they had seen it somewhere——

"Yes, it's Xu Lin's younger brother..." Xu Cheng's voice was also trembling, he didn't know if it was fear or anger.

Bai Jiu also squatted down with a serious face: "He's been dead for a long time, it's impossible... We just saw him this morning, and he's still alive." Speaking of this, he recalled the room full of mirrors, and he had a vague suspicion in his heart.But realizing that Xu Cheng's mood was wrong, he resisted not to say it.

Jiang Fengbai was also standing not far away, pointing to the buried corpse with one hand exposed: "There is paint on it."

Xu Cheng came back to his senses suddenly, and approached quickly, ignoring the dirt and pulling out his hand forcefully.When he saw a deep scar on the top, a silvery white liquid flowed from his left eye, dripping on his rotten arm: "Xu Lin...I'm sure I'm not mistaken...he climbed a tree when he was young and fell When I came down, my arm was cut by a stone..."

Seeing this, Bai Jiu hurriedly helped him up, gently wiped the liquid from his eyes, and felt that there was nothing wrong with that eye, so he was relieved: "So these are the corpses of the villagers? The whole village...is dead gone?"

"Or it's just a mirror!" Xu Cheng held his hand tightly, "It's the same as before!"

mirror...

Jiang Fengbai's face was as usual, when he suddenly heard a loud "click", he raised his head subconsciously, and the roof of the tomb was actually cracked, and someone fell down all of a sudden.He wanted to avoid it, but he smelled the sweet-scented osmanthus fragrance again. He turned his mind, and his body stopped in place honestly, and he reached out his hand to catch the opponent firmly.Of course, if the man hadn't used the spell, Jiang Fengbai's hands would have been broken.

The person who fell was none other than Cheng Wanshi who was led away. There was a slight sweat on his forehead, but he was not injured. Those beautiful eyes showed a trace of fatigue.It turned out that he was led by "Xu Cheng" to turn west and east in the middle of the tomb, and he also encountered a few green-haired zombies, all of them were dealt with with a dagger, but the trouser leg was grabbed, and the blue handprint was still on it.As a result, when he came to a tomb passage with mirrors and paintings, "Xu Cheng" suddenly disappeared. He hurried to catch up, but found that the mirrors and paintings corresponded one by one. Lively, not even quite what it should be...

Continuing to walk along the tomb passage, he only felt more and more bored in his heart. In a trance, it seemed that every time the soul was a little bit of a precursor, and he didn't realize that there was a trap in front of the huge tomb door, and Gu Lu Gu Lu rolled out of the pipe. down.From time to time, a face emerged from the pits in the pipeline, with eyebrows and eyes very similar to Xu Cheng's, and he cut it all up with a knife, which felt like cutting leeks.Later, it fell directly into Jiang Fengbai's arms.

Only then remembered the unhappiness tonight, Cheng Wanshi jumped down, half-closed his eyes, and decided not to talk to the other party.He turned his head and said to Bai Jiu: "It may be that Xu Lin, only he can draw so many Xu Cheng."

"With the mirror image, he is really bold." Bai Jiu said through gritted teeth.

Xu Cheng's body trembled and he was on the verge of falling, motioning for Cheng Wanshi to look at the broken arm on the ground: "This is... Xu Lin's body..."

Cheng Wanshi was taken aback, checked it carefully, and sighed: "Fen Village...It really is a grave village. The people here are all righteous, who have died for a long time, maybe what we see today is just a mirror image... No, Perhaps the whole Fen Village is a mirror image, overlapping with the real one, and those houses are graves..."

"There is a legend in Fuchi that a certain great power fell into a river by mistake when he encountered thunder calamity, and happened to be struck by purple thunder, leaving no bones. His own resentment resonated with something, so he created such a weird mirror image." Bai Jiu remembered the ancient books he had read, and became more sure of his guess, "Although the soul is different, the memory is the same, even small habits are different. No change."

"Dense fog?" Xu Cheng repeated unconsciously, his eyes narrowed, his teeth chattered, he seemed to be trembling, and his eyes suddenly became loose.

Jiang Fengbai spoke at the right time: "Tonight is heavy fog."

"Maybe there was such a foggy weather before, Xu Lin, I think it is him who has mastered a certain method to 'rebuild' Fen Village bit by bit, turning it into a genuine grave village." Cheng Wanshi's tone was cold. It's going to kill me.

Bai Jiu shook his head: "Leave it alone, how do we get out? There seems to be no exit here."

"Go up." Cheng Wanshi pointed to the crack on the top, "When I fell, I seemed to notice a hole in the next door, but I didn't catch the edge too fast."

Fortunately, the tomb is not too high, everyone discussed it for a while, and although they felt a little wicked, they still moved the corpses and piled them together, stepped on the top and climbed up.Sure enough, there was a narrow hole next to the crack, just enough to accommodate one person to climb in, and everyone lined up and got into the hole like mice.As soon as they entered, they found that there was something like a fence underneath, which looked like a modern ventilation duct, and they could see the space below through the gap.Some are just empty tomb passages, and some are small closed tombs, full of funerary objects, and nothing else.

I don't know how long it took to climb, Cheng Wanshi suddenly stopped and told everyone to look down: "Here...I think there is something underneath."

Indeed, this tomb was bigger than what they had seen. The floor was pure white with hairs, and there was a wriggling bulge in the middle surrounded by things like blood vessels.Cheng Wanshi groped for a while, pried open the fence, threw down a rope, and the other end of the rope was tied to a solid pipe.Everyone slid down one by one, only to realize that the thing was...alive, and it felt soft when stepped on.

Ever since he approached this tomb, Bai Jiu has been palpitating, always feeling that there is something very closely related to him underneath.He squatted down, spread his palms and pressed on the bulge, and blurted out: "It's the heart..."

heart!

Everyone was shocked, especially Xu Cheng. After looking around, he felt that this statement made sense. Those blood vessel-like lines seemed to support the beating of the heart and transport blood non-stop.But if this is a heart, what animal is underneath?At this moment, the bulge suddenly lit up, and that tremor flowed through Bai Jiu's palm, making him feel dazed.In an instant, many memories that once belonged to him flooded out——

The white tiger meekly lay at someone's feet, stretched out its claws and hooked the other's clothes; the tower fell, and a man and a tiger ran around the city without knowing what happened; The man wields the sword unskillfully; the last eye is put in the mouth, leaving a cry of "there will be a period"...

"Ajiu!" Xu Cheng's voice exploded in his ears, Bai Jiu gasped for breath, his eyes were still flustered.He hugged each other tightly, as if he would lose that strength in the next moment.

Xu Cheng didn't know, so he asked, "Ajiu?"

"Over there." Bai Jiu's face was stained with a trace of depression, his eyes were fixed on the blood-red wall in front of him, and the bulge under his feet stopped trembling at some point, as if he had died.

Cheng Wanshi seemed to understand something. He took out his dagger and poked it at the wall. The dagger sank deeply. Not long after, the wall cracked, revealing a cavity for people to walk on.Several people regained their composure and walked in. After an unknown amount of time, they finally came to a semi-circular tomb.It is still full of white hair here, and there are two semi-transparent round windows in front of it, and you can see the bloody red outside, and you can't help but imagine that it is blood.On both sides of the tomb are passages similar to the cavity, not too long, and the head can be seen at a glance, covered with fluff.

In addition, there is a small space that is low and convex, in which dark wood chips are piled up into hills, and it is impossible to tell what it was originally.

As for the sky above the wood pile, a bead floating in the air was shining brightly, attracting everyone to approach curiously.Its shape is actually very similar to a living eye, and the light flickers like a blink of an eye, similar to the one on the butterfly witch in Chongyang Mountain.

"My..." Xu Cheng muttered to himself.

Before he finished speaking, the bead rushed towards him with lightning speed and directly hit his right eye.Xu Cheng couldn't dodge in time, he was hit and fainted all of a sudden, but fortunately he was hugged by Bai Jiu so he didn't fall to the ground. "That pile is the fragments of the coffin, and the map seems to be inside, that's all I remember." Bai Jiu apologized.

Cheng Wanshi resolutely stepped forward to search, seeing that he refused to talk to him, Jiang Fengbai was not annoyed, and silently searched beside him.After opening the remains of the coffin, the third human-skinned map really lay quietly inside, with some dark red blood stains on it, and a handful of silver-white hairs wrapped around it.

"It can be regarded as... my obsession back then." Bai Jiu smiled wryly.

The author has something to say:

Fen Village - Grave Village

Thinking of this name, there is actually another reason. Some time ago, the stupid author saw scp-cn-475 "Grave Transformation", and was almost scared to death, so he got inspiration.Students who have never heard of scp can try Baidu.

The legend mentioned in the article is inspired by the thought experiment of swampman. Of course, there is also a module of coctrpg that uses this concept. I only know it from the live broadcast of the running group.
