Episode 42 true and false

How to distinguish between reality and illusion? If the prophecies in this stone chamber and the prophet's stone box are all illusions created by the corpse-scented konjac, when did this illusion begin?

I think my brain is a bit unable to cope with such a complicated problem. It would be great if Miss Guo could help analyze it. My monkey brain and mine combined are not even half as strong as hers.

However, I think that the "corpse-scented konjac" created hallucinations and caused us to kill each other, which is just speculation. The magic flower is really powerful. The scene on the stone beam in the ghost cave is still shocking to me, but I am not 100% convinced. Be sure to believe that the prophet's prediction is a trap.

Seeing that I was distracted again, the monkey pushed me: "What's wrong, Old Hu, why are your eyes always so straight lately? Can we take care of this American girl?"

I asked the monkey to understand the professor, and leaned down to ask Miss Guo: "You said that your grandfather was also a prostitute before he went to the United States. You are just saying nothing. How can I believe you?"

Miss Guo stared at me and said bitterly: "Stupid thief, do you believe it or not... I have my grandpa's relics hanging around my neck. You can tell just by looking at it."

"Relic?" Could it be a gold-touching talisman? Sure enough, I saw two necklaces hanging around her neck. I reached out and pulled them out. One was a cross, and the other was indeed a "gold-touching charm" made from the claws of Sichuan Mountain Armor.

This thing is extremely secretive in the world. Not everyone has a tomb robber. Even most of the tomb robbers have never seen this thing. Objects are distinguished by people. The value of the golden talisman itself is not valuable. On the ground, rag pickers may be too lazy to pick it up, but for tomb robbers passed down from generation to generation, this is a priceless treasure, which symbolizes a kind of seniority.

I picked up Miss Guo¡¯s gold-touching talisman and looked at it carefully. Comparing people to each other would lead to death, and comparing goods would have to be thrown away. Compared with this gold-touching talisman of hers, the two gold-touching talismans that Huang Baldy gave to me and the monkey were simply inferior. wanted.

Miss Guo's gold-touching talisman can be seen at a glance as an antique from the Later Han Dynasty. The two seal characters "touching gold" on the talisman are vigorous and simple, with an ancient meaning. They are made of the sharpest claws of the Sichuan Mountain Armor, which symbolizes It is slightly transparent like black crystal. Despite its age, there is no trace of wear and tear. There is a circle of gold thread locked at the base of the claws, and the whole body is engraved with flying tiger patterns to ward off evil spirits.

Comparing the two pieces that Monkey and I got with this one, we can tell whether they are genuine or fake. They are obviously artificially aged, and the material selection and craftsmanship cannot be compared. Damn it, this grandson of Huang Baldy is fooling us with fake products. I wonder why it has never worked.

I held Miss Guo's golden charm in my hand and looked at it for a long time. I couldn't put it down and couldn't bear to put it down. I really didn't want to give it back to her.

Miss Guo shouted: "Hurry up and pay me back. It's just a matter of killing yourself, but you also want to make money together?"

I hung the golden talisman back on Miss Guo's neck: "Since your grandpa is also a traitor, why do you call us stinky thieves one by one? Didn't you even scold your grandpa? This is also the way to treat you." Everything happens for a reason." He told Miss Guo the exact prediction of the stone painting on the stone box on the second floor, and finally said to her: "All this may be an illusion of death caused by the corpse-scented konjac, but it is not confirmed until it is confirmed. I can¡¯t let you go.¡±

After Miss Guo heard this, her expression softened slightly: "Then you should think of something quickly. Do you think it's comfortable being tied up by you guys? I'll let you have a taste of it later."

The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation.

I stood up and walked back and forth in the room for a few steps, staring at the stone paintings on the second floor of the stone box. I really didn't dare to act rashly. If this prophecy was not an illusion, but true, then if I didn't kill anyone, I would open it without killing anyone. On the second floor of the stone box, the evil spirit will appear soon and kill everyone. I feel more uncomfortable now than stepping on a landmine. If I step on a landmine, I will blow myself up. Is this prophecy true or false? It affects four lives. It is true. hard to decide.

I understand that the professor is crazy, but Miss Guo is a bit suspicious, so I had to discuss it with Monkey. I told him all my inferences, knowing that he could not be of much help, but I still hoped to find someone to share the pressure on my shoulders.

After hearing this, the monkey nodded: "Oh, that's what the fuck is going on. I understand. You are worried that we are still in the illusion created by the dog-tail flower. You should have told me earlier. It's such a big deal. I'll solve it for you right away."

I wondered: "Can you tell the difference? This is no joke. We can't make a fool of ourselves. If we make a wrong move, we will lose everything."

Monkey didn't say anything. He raised his hand and gave me a slap in the face. He slapped me quickly. I was unprepared and was hit hard. My face was burning with pain.

I was about to have a seizure when I heard the monkey ask: "How is it? Does it hurt?"

I rubbed my face and said, "Damn it, my son hit me and turned against you. Does it still hurt? I'll slap you and you will know if it hurts." As soon as I finished speaking, I immediately thought, yes Yes, if we can feel pain, we are not in an illusion. It seems that we are not controlled by the corpse-scented konjac.

I turned around and wanted to press Miss Guo again. At a glance, I saw that the stone paintings on the second layer of the stone box had changed. I quickly went over to take a closer look, only to see that the three stone paintings slowly blurred and disappeared, leaving only There is a small blank stone box underneath. The stone box has a lid and is sealed with cowhide paint to preserve the valuables inside for a long time.

Looking at the first layer of stone boxes, there is no change at all. Each one is a prophet's prediction. In the end, it is still a stone painting with four people opening the first layer of stone boxes.

How is this going? Is it true or false? I pulled the monkey over and asked him to see what was on the second stone box. The monkey said, couldn't it just be the same three stone paintings?

I raised my hand and slapped him: "Look again, are there any stone paintings?"

The monkey covered his face and said: "Hey... this... is gone now. Damn it, it's really fucking hell. Let me see what the hell is in here." After saying that, he stretched out his hand and took the second layer of the stone box. Pull away.

I was shocked: "Your hands were too fast. I only let you take a look, and I didn't let you do anything else." However, after the second layer of the stone box was opened, nothing happened. The four people were all fine, and nothing happened. The thing about evil spirits killing people.

Based on my experience, I can surmise that our vision was indeed controlled by the "corpse-scented konjac" just now. The power of this magic flower far exceeds our estimation. It is not only able to create illusions on the stone beams of the ghost cave.

At that time, I wanted to rush across the stone beam to rescue Zheng Yonghai, but I fell into its hallucination trap. Then the monkey and Miss Guo rescued me. At that time, I looked back and saw the petals of the corpse-scented konjac that were originally closed together. Open, facing us.

From that time on, the scope of the hallucination of corpse-scented konjac expanded. After our searchlights were extinguished, many black snakes appeared. Judging from the situation at that time, two of the five of us could not move. Under the siege of the snakes, we actually It was a miracle that no one was bitten by the snakes. Now it seems that those snakes are all false illusions.

The corpse-scented konjac created the illusion of being attacked by so many black snakes in order to force us into the cracks in the mountain and bury ourselves alive inside. Unexpectedly, we escaped further and further into the cracks and accidentally escaped into the tomb of the prophet.

Although this Stone Demon Flower is powerful, the scope of its control has its limit after all. It is too far away from us and can no longer create too powerful illusions, so it changed the simplest structure of the stone painting to tempt us to kill each other.

Moreover, the scary thing about corpse-scented konjac is that it does not create illusions through people¡¯s five senses. As long as you take a look at it and remember its alluring color, you will be confused by it within a certain distance. The farther away you go, the less powerful the illusion becomes.

Even if one or two people survive in the end, they will have a mental breakdown because they killed their companions with their own hands. Then no one will ever know the secret of Queen Jingjue. It's so damn vicious.

At this time, the monkey had already taken out the contents of the second stone box. It was an ancient book made of sheepskin. I estimate that the prophet's revelations, the lost ancient kingdom of Jingjue, and the secrets of the ghost cave are all in this book. It¡¯s in the book.
