Doomsday begins with a nightmare

There is no doubt that although those ghosts just now looked scary, their strength can really be described as 'weak chicken'.

At this time, Liu Jia and Lin Mo discussed it. Now that they have entered the mirror world in the ghost pavilion, they should first find the staircase that does not exist outside and go up to see what they will find.

Since there are stairs that don't exist, there must be floors that don't exist.

This is the eighth floor, and then it is still the ninth floor.

Nine floors that don't exist.

This reminded Lin Mo of the seventh floor of the Ghost Pavilion.

It also does not exist, because you can go directly from the sixth floor to the eighth floor.

This Lin Mo asked Liu Jia, and Liu Jia said that it is indeed a special restriction, and only if it is strong enough can it cross the non-existent seventh floor.

That seventh floor is completely different from here.

Both of them are a little excited, of course, excitement is excitement, happiness is happiness, one should be careful, and there will be absolutely no numbness.

"Let's go one after the other. If we are in danger, we must remember to take care of each other." After Liu Jia finished speaking, Lin Mo nodded: "It's up to you to say, of course we have to take care of each other."

After wandering around for a while, I found the hidden staircase leading to the upper floor.

This is obviously the first time I have seen this staircase, it looks even more decayed, and when you step on it, it will make a creaking sound.

Because Lin Mo had seen a woman with a crooked neck in a classic red robe go up before, so he was very careful when going up.

If you meet a woman with a crooked neck, no matter what 21 [-], just press and hold it first.

After going up carefully, the woman with the crooked neck was nowhere to be seen, but Lin Mo saw a big clock hanging over there.

Really?

To be honest, Lin Mo just guessed that the reason why the ghost clock disappeared might have something to do with this mirror world, and it might even be somewhere here.

But who would have known that they saw a clock as soon as they came up.

Lin Mo immediately asked Liu Jia if this is a ghost clock.

Liu Jia just glanced at it and nodded immediately: "That's it, it's strange, how did this ghost clock get to this place?"

Chapter 0645 to knock or not to knock

Things like bells were originally a percussion instrument, as the so-called fair lady, bells and drums are played.Later, it changed from a musical instrument to a bell in the temple, which was used to tell the time and alarm, etc. The term morning bell and evening drum came from that time.

But obviously, the kind hanging in front of Lin Mo and Liu Jia at this moment is not the music of the fair lady, nor the morning bell and evening drum, but has another purpose.

It was the first time seeing Lin Mo, but Liu Jia had seen each other every day for the past five years, so he didn't have as many messy thoughts as Lin Mo.

She walked over to have a look and nodded.

"This is it, this is the ghost clock, who put it here?"

After speaking, he began to search around.

It may be that there are some ghosts hiding around.

Lin Mo glanced at Liu Jia secretly, then walked up to the ghost clock, and whispered, "Xiao Yu, show me what's going on with this clock."

As soon as the words fell, Lin Mo stretched out a small white hand from Lin Mo's sleeve, gently pressed it against the ghost clock, and quickly retracted it.

No movement.

Lin Mo knew that Xiao Yu hadn't found out a reason, if there was, she would give a reminder, if there was no reminder, she would not be able to see it.

Because it was the first time he saw the ghost clock, Lin Mo was very curious.

Liu Jia was checking the surroundings, while Lin Mo checked the ghost clock itself.

Touched, cold, hard.

There is a strong sense of thickness.

There are lines on the body of the bell, which are complex and difficult to understand, like some kind of mysterious symbol, representing an unknown meaning.

After going around, but finding nothing, Lin Mo then squatted down and got under the ghost clock.

Looking up from this angle, it looks like a dark metal dome, shaking the bricks, Lin Mo looked inside.

Under normal circumstances, there is nothing inside the clock, after all, it is not an important area.

But Ghost Clock is different.

There are complex lines on the outside, like text.

And inside, there are all kinds of patterns, there are mountains and lakes, there are things that look like people, and there are sun, moon and stars. From bottom to top, there is a ring about one foot high. There are nine superimposed rings in total. Each engraving describes an event.

Pictures are a form of expression that transcends language and words. Even if people from different countries and races look at the same picture, they can see the specific meaning contained in it.

This is why a picture can be called a work of art.

Lin Mo carefully studied the nine-layer engraving, which obviously recorded a series of things.

The bottom one is the first one, and the top one is the last one.

The first one is very ordinary, and it is also the most peaceful one among the nine engravings.There are mountains and rivers on it, and people can be seen hunting and farming, and there are also some things like ancient beasts, but there is no sense of weirdness.

What this describes is a picture of people's life in ancient times.

But when it comes to the second picture, the painting style is a bit wrong.

Compared with the animal skin costumes of people in the first picture, the people in the second picture are already wearing robes, which is obviously cultural and technological progress.

On it, there are troops conquering, and there are also people who look like wearing emperor clothes, offering sacrifices to heaven, rivers, and mountains.

It is more about killing. In one painting, there are dead bodies everywhere, and bones are like a forest.

Lin Mo understands, fear, killing, suspicion, extreme, anger, desire, these dark sides also appear with the progress of human society.

This is the dark side of man.

The more developed and stronger human society is, the bigger and stronger this dark side will be.

Like a mirror, reflecting the corresponding other side.

Although there is no text on it, Lin Mo can feel the meaning and profoundness that the sculptor wants to express. It is no exaggeration to say that Lin Mo was deeply attracted by the second picture.

"It feels like the birth of the dark side." Lin Mo noticed that in the second pattern, Yin and Yang patterns appeared, blending with each other, and the following is the enlightenment of the wise.

Yin and Yang, one is black and the other is white.

What it expresses is that the dark side has always been there, which is also the foundation of many thoughts of the ancients.

Followed by the third picture.

Obviously, the civilization of the people above has improved again. With the carriage and copper smelting technology, there are also more killings. Naturally, the dark side of terror is getting bigger and bigger.

There is a picture in it that impressed Lin Mo deeply.

There was a person kneeling on the ground with his head in his hands, as if screaming in pain. Above him, a phantom appeared, containing all kinds of frightening things.

Ferocious ghosts represent fear; corpses and rotting bones represent death.

Lin Mo looked at it for a while before he understood.

"The smarter this person is, the more he will produce these dark sides. Compared with those people in ancient times, they are happier. Simple-minded, there are also benefits of being simple-minded. At least, they don't think about it. It's the so-called satiety and lust. , I think it’s not just those desires that you think about, there are even more terrifying things.”

Lin Mo felt what the creator of the relief wanted to express.

That's how 'Weird' was born.

Simply put, there are no ghosts in the world, as long as there are people, there will be ghosts!

At the end of the third picture, Lin Mo saw such a scene. After some people fell asleep, those fears would take advantage of them and die.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Mo looked at the fourth picture.

Not to mention, this feeling is the same as chasing a series, addictive, after watching one episode, you want to watch the next one, the author of this sculpture also knows the routine, and the solution of each picture is suspenseful, which is hooked.

"It's really not a thing." Lin Mo cursed.

In Lin Mo's view, the fourth picture is the most brilliant one.

If the former picture represents disaster, then the fourth picture seems to represent a kind of balance and a solution.

The whole article describes a scene.

Smelting Bronze!

It can be seen that countless people mined ore and smelted copper water under the order of the ruler at that time. Lin Mo frowned at one scene.

It was during the smelting process that many people were thrown into the fire.

Others were thrown into the boiling copper water.

Lin Mo seems to have heard of a similar situation somewhere.

By the way, it is said that there was a pair of famous swords in ancient times. During the smelting process, because the rare metals could not be fused together, at the last moment, the wife of the swordsmith died for the sword and jumped into it. The famous sword through the ages is said to have spirituality.

It is estimated that the tradition of martyrdom started from this fourth painting.

In the end, the copper water mixed with countless human lives was cast into copper gates of different sizes.

Seeing this, Lin Mo finally understood the origin of those terrifying bronze doors.

It turned out that these were indeed cast by humans themselves.

It seems to be to suppress those terrifying dark sides, but can these thinking things be suppressed?

Logically, this is not possible.

But in reality, it seems that it has really succeeded, because as far as Lin Mo knows, there is something terrifying behind every bronze door known so far.

This nightmare crisis was most likely caused by the opening of the bronze door.

And starting from the fifth picture, it seems that the original peace has been restored. The bronze gate is buried and hidden deep in the ground, and the people on the ground are singing and laughing.

In the sixth picture, it can be seen that the copper doors buried in the ground began to seep black substances outwards. It may be because of some natural disasters such as earthquakes that a few copper doors have reappeared.

The world is weird again.

But compared to the horror-like hell-like scene in the previous pictures, it is obviously much better, and only a few people are affected, and the exposed copper door has also been taken in by some people, or re-buried and sealed under the temple, by eminent monks Chanting sutras day and night to appease and purify.

It's a balance.

The weirdness and horror, and the terrifying darkness still exist, but it seems that the scale is not large, and someone guides them to either ban or suppress them. In short, a balanced relationship has been reached.

Lin Mo is not in a hurry to look at the seventh picture.

He looked at the first picture, went through it again, and discovered a very important thing.

There seems to be a type of person on all the pictures.

There is no specific name for this type of people. Lin Mo will call them wise men or sages.

It was from them that the dark side of terror was first born.

Afterwards, they guided those in power to smelt the bronze gates, and later guided people to bury them again or seal them into temples, all of which were related to these wise men.

Why do you say that?

After all, the people depicted above have similar shapes, how did Lin Mo see that they belonged to the same type of people?

This is not due to Lin Mo's extraordinary talent and super savvy, but mainly because people of this type have one eye painted on their heads.

Others have no eyes, only the outline of a human figure, or even a stick figure of a 'person'.

But the type of people Lin Mo mentioned is different. Even in the case of stick figures, there will be an eye on the head.

The style of the eyes is quite uniform, that is, very simple, like a fish with its tail removed, with a pupil composed of yin and yang hooks in the middle.

Lin Mo's attention was attracted because there were similar people on the first floor of the painting.

Continue to look up. In the seventh floor map, there are also such "sages". They seem to know how to use the dark power in the copper door.

Although there are still some scary things in the seventh picture, overall, it is still harmonious.

But the eighth picture is different.

As described above, it seems that something went wrong among the "sages", and some began to become brutal, and even attacked each other, and it spread and affected ordinary people, so a large-scale war broke out.

It's like a doomsday scene.

And one last pair.

This pair is at the top of the inner wall of the ghost clock and has the smallest area. Fortunately, the content depicted on it is very small.
