Paintings of Terror

A small internal turmoil did not affect Mu Yiran. Seeing that Shao Ling was choked by his guardian's dog and temporarily speechless, Mu Yiran quickly picked up the previous topic and continued.

"Mr. Shao's question just now is exactly what I want to talk about next. About why Ke Xun and I can still see and hear you after being isolated in another space, but can't touch you. Mu Yiran looked at the people in front of him with his deep eyes, "Because, at that time, it was not Ke Xun and I who were in another dimension, but you."

Everyone looked at him in surprise and shock, even Shao Ling looked over with doubts.

"Ring Rhinoceros can connect the worlds of Yin and Yang, or in other words, it can connect different spaces," Mu Yiran said, "Wen Qiao can't see the spirits in the water because the spirits are in another dimension, but after the Burning Rhinoceros, some spirits appeared Huohuo, the space where this spirit is located is already the space where Wen Qiao is, which is what we call the Yang Realm.

"So, when Ke Xun and I lit the rhinoceros horn to see the pheasant, it was me, Ke Xun, and the pheasant who were really in the Yang world. Therefore, since we can't touch you, and the space you are in is the place where we enter the painting, In the space, it can be deduced..."

Mu Yiran looked at the crowd, and said word by word: "From the beginning of the painting, the place we are in is not the world of the sun. We have always lived in another space."

Everyone was dumbfounded at this time, and no one spoke for a while.

"I think this is probably the most cunning part of the pheasant," Mu Yiran continued, "From the very beginning, it set up a long-lasting illusion space for us, and then in this illusion, give us We create small hallucinatory spaces that last only one night, which leads us to the preconceived notion that hallucinations only exist at night, and that once the hallucinations occur, we cannot see, hear, or feel each other.

"This is where the biggest trick designed by Pheasant lies—space within space, illusion within illusion. To put it simply, what it sets up for us is a nested illusion space.

"It has two purposes, one is to trap us with the embedded illusion every night, and the other is to confuse us with the embedded illusion, preventing us from discovering the illusion of a coat outside.

"But in our civilization of gods and ghosts, there are ways to decipher many mystical and strange things, and the one that can decipher the illusion of the pheasant is probably the rhino horn that can communicate with the two worlds after being ignited. Coincidentally, these were enshrined by the Emperor Qin. On the ship where Zhiling went out to sea to find immortals, there were gifts prepared for the visit, medicinal materials, cloth, calligraphy and painting documents, and rare jewelry.

"As Luo Kuo said before, rhino horns were also quite valuable things in that era, so they were brought on board as a gift for visiting, and it happened to be the only thing that could crack the illusion space.

"So, I think that if we want to completely escape the illusion space we are in now, the only way is to ignite the rhino horn."

"However, we have lit the rhino horns more than once, aren't we still in this illusion?" Luo Xie asked.

"Then think about it, from the very beginning, we only lighted rhino horns on the boat," Mu Yiran said, taking a rhino horn, and walked to the side of the boat, "Since this painting is called 'Rhino Burning at Sea', it is always It is necessary to illuminate the sea with the light of a rhinoceros."

So he borrowed a flint and steel from Luo Kuo, and lit the rhino horn in his hand.

Ke Xun took a quick step and stood beside him, holding his arm with one hand, and the others also quickly stood on the side of the boat, looking at the dark sea below the boat together by the light of the rhinoceros horn in Mu Yiran's hand .

The rhinoceros horn was lifted above the sea, and the light sprinkled on the sea surface was strangely scattered by the water waves, and the dark and rich color of the sea surface that was scattered by the light seemed to be sucked away, gradually becoming Clear and clear.

Immediately afterwards, everyone saw in amazement that there were several stars under the sea surface, and there seemed to be clouds floating indistinctly.And under the stars and clouds, there seems to be another blue sea, which is surging slowly.

"This is..." Wei Dong leaned forward to look under the sea desperately, and then looked at everyone in surprise, "If I'm not mistaken, there seems to be another piece of sky and sea under this seabed?!"

"Could it be another space under the sea?" Qin Ci looked at Mu Yiran.

Mu Yiran looked at the crowd, and said calmly: "I personally think that the space below is the real way out. Therefore, we have to go into the sea."

"Please wait a moment," Shao Ling finally said again, "If the space below is the Yang Realm, then what you said just now, you and Ke Xun are the real Yang Realm after lighting the rhino horns and seeing the pheasants. ? At that time, you should still be on this ship, so what does it have to do with the space below?"

Mu Yiran looked at him: "As I said just now, this is a nested phantom space. Inside a large phantom space, there are several small phantom spaces. Outside this large phantom space, there may be There is a bigger space, and this space is the Yang Realm."

Shao Ling froze in place, obviously his thinking speed was still a step slower than Mu Yiran.

"To put it bluntly, all illusions are actually established within the scope of the Yang Realm, so when Ke Xun and I ignited the rhino horns, although the location has not changed, we are already in the Yang Realm." Mu Yiran said .

"Then we also directly ignite the rhino horns, so we can go back to Yang Realm, why go to the sea?" Shao Ling asked.

"Going back to the Yang Realm is not the goal, but to find the seal and return to the real real world." This time it was Ke Xun who answered him.

Shao Ling asked again without giving up: "If the way to break this painting is really as simple as using a rhino horn to illuminate the sea to find a way out, isn't the pheasant worried that we will use the rhino horn to illuminate the sea on the first night?" ?”

"Rhino horns were placed under the floor of the captain's cabin together with several boxes of bamboo slips at the beginning," Zhu Haowen answered him this time. Will use rhino horns to illuminate the sea, so what awaits us will be a doomsday situation.

"And if you can think of the burning rhinoceros lighting monsters, you will be like us on the first day, worrying that the burning rhinoceros will lead to death. After all, Wen Qiao has illuminated the water, and he is dead, so it will not be easy to burn the rhinoceros to the sea. .

"Take a step back, even if all of us are very bold, we dared to set fire to the sea on the first night, but if we haven't experienced the baptism of illusions and the death of members for five nights, how dare we dare to fight when we first entered the painting?" Are you sure that the picture under the sea you saw is not a trap? You don’t even dare to enter the sea until now, let alone the first day you enter the painting, and we are still at a loss, and it is even more impossible for us to enter the sea.

"And Ke Xun said that before killing the pheasant, there were strange sounds in the sea. These sounds must be the auditory illusion created by the pheasant, in order to prevent us from entering the sea and finding a real way out. Who would dare to enter the sea after hearing these sounds?

"So the pheasant has set up such a situation. There is nothing to worry about. It is something that uses people's emotions and psychology to create illusion traps. It must be very clear about the psychology of us people. And even if we are really lucky enough , On the first day, I burned the rhinoceros to shine on the sea, and boldly jumped into the sea to find a way out. In the end, I was able to produce a painting without any damage. Thirteen out."

Shao Ling didn't speak any more, but several old members could tell that this guy's paranoia had recurred, and he was obviously hesitating whether going into the sea was the right thing to do.

"There's no more time to waste," Ke Xun began to undress, "We need to dive into that space in the sea before the voting time ends, and find the seal in that space."

The rest of the people didn't think much about it anymore, and took off their obstructive robes one after another. Even Qin Ci, who had always been calm and introverted, stripped his own clothes very passionately...

Shao Ling looked at these people and couldn't help frowning.

These guys... the old and the young are so self-willed, how do you think the team's behavior is going astray...

He was still hesitating here, when he suddenly saw Ke Xun calling Wei Dong and Luo Kuo to come together, and took off his clothes with his hands, Shao Ling struggled quickly, but he was no match for these three guys, to be honest, Ke Xun alone We can take care of him now, calling Weidong and Luo Kuo is just to save time.

"What are you still thinking about?" He heard Ke Xun pawing at him while communicating with him, "I've been in this illusion for five days, have you figured out a way out? We're all gone and you're alone, you can Have you found a way out? Three shorts and one long choose the longest, this is the last choice, hurry up and follow us!"

Shao Ling: "..." What the hell are the three shorts and one long choice the longest? Does it have any blood relationship with the choice of jumping into the sea? !Whose salty pig's hand touched my private parts? !You stop!Underpants can not be stripped!

Shao Ling was confused by these three guys, and his thoughts collapsed, and he was pushed to the side of the ship in a mess.

Taking a closer look, he found that Mu Yiran's clothes were in good condition, so he hurriedly said, "He hasn't..."

Before the word "off" could be uttered, Ke Xun stuffed a rhinoceros horn into his mouth: "I'll go into the sea later, hold it in my mouth, and use my hands to paddle."

"Huh?!" Shao Ling looked at him in surprise.

The well-dressed Mu Yiran answered his question: "We need to burn the rhinoceros under the sea so that we can take us to that space with the help of the rhinoceros light."

"Huh?" Shao Ling was so surprised that he even forgot to take the rhino horn out of his mouth and asked again.

And the smart and well-dressed Mu Yiran understood his question very well: "Since this painting is full of magic, then we should look at everything in it with magic eyes-here I also have to reflect on myself , as a modern person, I am not used to thinking about supernatural things with divergent thinking. So before my thoughts were fixed by "burning rhinoceros", the focus was only on the word "burning", but not Divergent thinking from the "rhinoceros" itself. And I just thought of a specious, legendary saying about "rhinoceros" after I had just crossed the sea with a rhinoceros horn.

"The ancients said that the rhinoceros is a psychic beast that lives in the sea. Its horns can avoid water, so it is also called a 'water-avoiding rhinoceros'. In my memory, there are a few words in the book that come from "Compendium of Materia Medica" According to the records: the horn on the brain of the person who reaches the sky, after thousands of years... If you can breathe out the breath to reach the sky, you can pass the gods, break the water, and frighten the chicken.

"I remember these contents in scattered sentences, so I didn't think of rhino horns before. Now that I think about it, the so-called 'horn on the brain of the Tongtian' should refer to the rhinoceros. Breaking the water means avoiding water. So, I think we burn the rhinoceros under the sea, and the rhinoceros light should not be extinguished."

Shao Ling was speechless.

There are only six rhino horns left, which is not enough for seven people to have one, so Mu Yiran asked, "Is there anyone who can't swim?"

"I'm not very good at swimming." Zhu Haowen said.

"I... I feel weak, I'm afraid I won't have the strength to swim after going into the sea..." Luo Wei raised his hand tremblingly.

Seeing this, Ke Xun pointed at Zhu Haowen: "After going into the sea, I will take..."

"You take Luo Yu," Mu Yiran said lightly, "I take Haowen and share a rhinoceros horn. Doctor Qin, Weidong and Shao Ling, the three of you take care of each other."

Everyone responded one after another, and Ke Xun also said "Oh" honestly.

Without further ado, everyone lit their rhino horns one after another. Mu Yiran and Zhu Haowen jumped into the sea first, followed by others.

Shao Ling was about to stop them and remind them, "You have used all your rhino horns. If you don't succeed this time, you will end your retreat, and there is no way to leave!"——who kicked from behind and directly Kicked him into the sea.
