Ghost Blowing Lantern II

In my opinion, Sun Jiuye's behavior has never been "normal". People in the world are all burdened by the word "fame and wealth". They abandon their families and careers for some empty fame, and even use any means to fabricate lies and commit crimes. Even his old friend Professor Chen was deceived, and his paranoid personality made him act like a thief, sneaking into the museum through the window in the middle of the night to conduct so-called "archaeological research." Ask him about the behavior of such a person, Can it be described as "normal"?

But that's not what Shirley Yang wanted to say. She didn't want to arouse Professor Sun's idea, so she just lowered her voice and told me: "When everyone was behind the coffin just now, I saw Professor Sun... take something out of his own ear. A fly."

Hearing this, I almost fell against the tomb wall. This guy is so unhygienic. How many years has it been since he had his ears picked out? Or I have otitis media, and the ear canal is full of pus and smelly, attracting flies.

Shirley Yang seemed a little hesitant and did not continue talking. She just asked me to pay attention. I knew that she must have noticed something abnormal about Mr. Sun Jiu, but she was afraid that Fatty and I would act blindly towards Professor Sun. She was unwilling to make things clear until she had conclusive evidence.

I remembered that Professor Sun did suffer from otitis media, and this person has been immersed in work all year round and has always been unkempt. He cannot be fired from this operation just because he does not pay attention to hygiene. Shirley Yang is not the kind of person who is picky about details. Since he said these words, Professor Sun must have behaved strangely.

I suddenly remembered something, and my heart suddenly shuddered. I turned around and asked Shirley Yang: "What did you just say that Sun Jiuye had in his ears? Corpse flies in the ancient tomb?" Shirley Yang shook her head gently at me. He shook his head. The firelight in front of the tomb door was dim and he didn't dare to confirm it lightly.

She said this, I can only think that what appeared on Professor Sun's body was "corpse-eating black flies". In this "Wuyang King's Tomb" that was stolen and emptied by the "Guanshan Taibao", wherever there are corpses, there are "eating black flies". Traces of "corpse-eating black flies", including dead rats, dead snakes, and dead fish in pools, have all become the food and egg-laying ground of black flies. "Corpse-eating black flies" are no better than ordinary insects. They are only close to Corpse, why do "corpse-eating flies" appear on Professor Sun's body? Is he already dead? How could a dead body follow us all the way into the depths of the ancient tomb?

A series of questions flashed through my mind. From the point of view of the "corpse transformation" encountered by "Mojin Xiaowei" when he robbed the tomb, death without transformation is called "zombification", and death as if alive is called "walking" , Could it be that Mr. Sun Jiu is actually a "walking corpse"? Thinking of this section, I felt a chill running from the top of my head down my spine to my feet, and subconsciously glanced back at Professor Sun.

I saw Professor Sun staring at me at the door of the tomb. His expression was as usual, with a somewhat nervous look in his old-fashioned expression, which made him look a little cynical, and intuitively made him feel unfriendly. It was no different from when I first met him in Gutian County, Shaanxi Province.

I then put my mind at ease and thought to myself: "The tomb is dark and damp, the vitality dragon veins have long been broken, dead rats and insects are everywhere, and the bodies of women in lacquer coffins will also attract black flies. We and those ancient corpses With repeated contact, it is inevitable that there will be some corpse energy in his body, so how can we conclude that Master Sun Jiu is a walking corpse just based on a corpse-eating black fly?"

I turned it over and over in my mind several times. I wasn’t afraid of ten thousand, I was afraid of what might happen. After all, there was still one in ten thousand miles. What if Master Sun Jiu was really a "walking corpse"? "Black donkey hooves" specializes in defeating zombies, and I heard it can also deal with "walking corpses". It is said that "walking corpses" are zombies transformed into monsters. They talk and behave like living people, but they are demons who specialize in eating people's hearts and livers. My grandfather Hu Guohua encountered this kind of thing back then. He was always afraid of being the first to take action. With this idea in my mind, I always felt that there was something wrong with Professor Sun, so I wanted to signal Shirley Yang and Fatty to help me put him down.

Shirley Yang said: "Don't act rashly. Maybe there are other flying insects besides corpse flies in the ancient tomb. I just want to remind you to pay attention to some. There are many weird things in the coffin gorge. I have one... not very good I have a hunch that our operation may not go smoothly this time."

I nodded and decided to hold my temper and not attack until there was no conclusive evidence proving that Professor Sun was the corpse monster. I had the "black donkey's hooves" to "touch the golden captain" at my hand, but even if there was danger, I could still ensure it. Everyone retreated, why was I afraid of him?

At this time, Professor Sun urged us in front of the tomb: "How is it? Did you find anything? I guess the belly fairy may be an illusion. Burning the corpse of a woman in the Nandou tomb will reveal itself. In ancient times, there was indeed a method of using incense to hypnotize Fang Shu, I’m afraid there may not be any Tang Dynasty zombies hiding in this tomb.”

I was startled when I heard this, and felt that the strangeness of this matter was difficult to comprehend. I said to Professor Sun: "In the past, ancient tombs had a kind of anti-theft method, which was to hide the oil lamps, candles, water, wine, and elixirs in the tomb chamber. Poison or mirage can cause people to suffer illusions caused by circular light. Feng Shigu was able to hide the Guanshan Zhimi in the tomb using an illusion that was like a blindfold. How was he done?"

Professor Sun said: "The things that the group of sorcerers who watch the mountains and rob tombs do are not what ordinary people think. If I knew the secrets, I would go directly to the Dixian Village to get the Zhou Tian Gua diagram, and I would still be here with you in this empty place. What's going on in the underground palace?"

Fatty and others saw that we couldn't find any clues in the Nandou Tomb at the bottom, so we had no choice but to follow Sun Jiuye's suggestion and go to the highest point of the ancient tomb where the "dragons spit water". From the overlay, there are many tombs and winding corridors, but the pattern is consistent with the ancient Feng Shui method. It is arranged in the direction of the stars. I led everyone through it without worrying about losing the path.

All the tomb passages pass through the tomb owner's "coffin hall". When you reach the middle coffin hall, you can see that the Hades Hall made of huge stones is also in chaos. Stone slaves and stone beasts have fallen all over the ground. There are still traces on the tomb wall. There are traces of chiseling out gold beads. There is a huge stone coffin in the palace. The walls of the coffin are embossed with towering and steep mountains and rivers. Several coffin lids have been opened and turned aside, and all the corpses and artifacts inside are missing.

The fat man didn't give up, so he used a flashlight to use the engineering shovel to pull it out: "These grandsons who are watching the mountains and fighting against each other are more ruthless than the Japanese devils in implementing the Three Guangdong policy. They don't even leave any scum for us..."

I said to Sun Jiuye: "The whole tomb is almost empty. According to those folk legends, the Earth Immortal Fengshi brought tens of thousands of people into the ancient tomb to avoid the disaster of the war. Ten thousand people were like mountains and seas. There were so many people." Where are all the people hiding?”

Professor Sun thought hard for a moment and then said: "There are many Wu salt mine ruins in Coffin Gorge, and there are many caves in the mountains. I think Dixian Village is in a cave near Wuyang King's Underground Palace. We want to find its location." We still have to rely on the mountain-viewing skills, there is probably no other way."

Professor Sun believes that the clue "Guanshan Zhimi Fu" is very important. His friend Feng Tuanzhang at the labor camp may not know the entire poem, because along the way, from the unknown corpse at the entrance of the tunnel to "Shadowless Immortal Bridge" and "Guanshan Magic Pen", and finally the "Bei Immortal" in the tomb, each place contains a hint of "Guanshan Fengshimi". Earth Immortal Feng Shigu must have done this out of nowhere. For fear of leaking the secrets in the tomb, it can be described as "careful and far-reaching".

The "Guanshan Zhimi Fu" now found from the Duxian should be the key among the key points. "Wuxia Coffin Mountain, the earth immortals hide in hiding; dragons spit water, the remains of ancient tombs; Wuhou hides his soldiers, coffins The building fascinates the soul; the living doors are connected, one song and one tail; twenty-four thousand, there are seven in a hundred." This hint seems to be a profound mystery that makes people unable to figure it out.

It was completely difficult for us to understand the words "Guanshan Zhimi Fu", so we had to discuss it before we got close to it. Moreover, I very much doubted that if Sun Jiuye had misunderstood the content, and missed only one word, it would be a thousand miles wrong. Now, when we reach the place where the dragons spit water in the ancient tombs, will there be unexpected dangers waiting for us?

At this time, Yao Meier provided us with some very valuable information. She said that the craftsmen in "Fengwo Mountain" specialize in "machine springs, pins, core-turning gongs, and eight-treasure concealed shafts" and can even design some The city defense fortifications are wonderfully conceived, so people in this field must at least have the skills of "Zhalou Mohist" and understand the principles of creation and restraint of the "Five Elements and Bagua".

There have always been two ancestors in "Fengwo Mountain", one is the ancestor "Lu Ban" who built the building, and the other is Zhuge Wuhou who designed the "Wooden Cow and Flowing Horse".

There is a secret book at the bottom of the "Beehive Box" called "The Map of Hiding Soldiers by Marquis Wu". You can build a wooden man and a wooden ox according to the picture. The principle of the mechanism is similar to the "Wooden Cow and Flowing Horse" for transporting grain and grass, but they are all maps of Hidden Soldiers. The spring pins inside are all mechanisms used for killing people. They are arranged and buried according to the ancient formation method of creating a weapon. According to the changes in the terrain, buildings can be built to hide soldiers, or walls can be built to hide soldiers. It is most magical.

But precisely because this set of machine diagrams is the "treasure of the mountain" in "Fengwo Mountain", it has not been widely circulated. It was lost during the Song and Yuan Dynasties. No one in the world will build the "Wuhou Hidden Soldier Building" anymore, Yao Meier After listening to Sun Jiuye repeating "Wuhou hides his soldiers" repeatedly, he told the story. Maybe the "Wuhou hides his soldiers" mentioned in "Guanshan Zhimi Fu" is that kind of mysterious killing mechanism, because "Guanshan Zhimi Fu" "Zhimi Fu" later also mentioned "Shengmen".

Mr. Li, the shopkeeper of "Honeycomb Mountain", once told Yao Meier that in the "Picture of Wuhou Hidden Soldiers" there must be a central organ called "well". If its "hub well" is not removed, it will be destroyed endlessly. If you die under a trap, this "well" must be in the living gate, but there are "light and dark" wells. If it is a dark well, it is difficult to find, and according to different structural designs, only those who master the trap map can , only to know where the real "shengmen" is.

The last sentence of "Guanshan Zhimi Fu", "The gates of life are connected, with one song and one tail; twenty-four thousand, there are seven in a hundred", probably refers to the location of the "hidden well", but based on what Yaomei'er knows and learned, I have no idea what the phrase "Twenty-four thousand, seven out of a hundred orders" means. It is not the content of the "Beehive Formula". Even if Mr. Li is here, he can't figure it out. .

I remembered that Chen Xiazi, the leader of the Xiling bandits, once destroyed the Pingshan government city during the Republic of China. According to his description, the "urn city" should belong to the "Mingjing" artifacts. There are grave robbers who met the trap of the Tibetan Army Tower and died, but there are probably very few people who have actually seen the real thing.

In the Ming Dynasty, the "Guanshan Taibao" specializes in stealing ancient tombs. If they can't protect them, they will find them in the mountain tombs. They dug out such a set of "Wuhou Hidden Soldiers Map" and hid them in the "Wuyang Wang Underground Palace" as a way to seize the Dixian Village. If the barrier of life is not solved, the hint of "the gates of life are connected, one is connected to the other; twenty-four thousand, there are seven in a hundred", I am afraid that I will not be able to pass this "threshold".

Everyone looked at each other, you looked at me, I looked at you, no one could do anything about it. Even the experts in "Honeycomb Mountain" were in trouble, let alone us "touching the golden captain". This row is like a mountain, and for a while and a half. Where can I come up with any good ideas?

I cheered everyone up by saying that I had never encountered an ancient tomb hidden as deeply as the "Dixian Village" in my life. In my opinion, Feng Shigu, the leader of the "Guanshan Taibao", was simply For a madman, if you use normal people's thinking, it is absolutely difficult to guess his intentions. But there is another saying. Chairman Mao said, "If heaven is sentimental, heaven will also grow old, and the right path in the world will be vicissitudes of life." There are really rare treasures like the "Alchemy Cauldron" in the ancient tomb, and it is not in vain that we have gone through many twists and turns and dangers. At this moment, we still don't know how to arrange the map of the underground immortal's hidden army. Is it a building? Is it a city? Or something else? But don’t worry too much. People have come up with all the solutions and made all the roads. If we go and conduct on-site investigation first, we may not be unable to find countermeasures.

But Sun Jiuye frowned and said: "That being said, the setbacks we are going through are probably not small, so we can't be too optimistic..." As he spoke, he walked up the stone steps in the tomb passage to the upper level of the coffin hall. .

I was worried that Professor Sun would leave the group if he walked too fast, so I immediately waved to the other three people and followed closely behind him. The stairs leading up to the tomb were surrounded by water. When walking on them, I could hear the sound of water splashing everywhere. There are hidden springs flowing through the ancient tombs, and the veins taken from the tombs were indeed water dragon veins. At this time, I felt a buzzing in my ears, and it turned out that there were a few black flies circling around us.

I hurriedly waved my hand to drive it away, and in the swaying beam of the tactical spotlight above my head, I saw a black fly lying on the back of Sun Jiuye's neck. The fluorescence on the corpse fly flickered like a weak will-o'-the-wisp.

This time I could see it clearly and could not be mistaken again. I grabbed Professor Sun and said, "Wait a minute, Master Jiu, why are there corpse-eating black flies on your body? Are you dead or alive?"

Professor Sun was stunned, and then said angrily: "What are you talking nonsense? You just slapped me with random hats before, why are you calling me a dead person now? I'm not dead yet, and I will be killed by you if I am to die. So angry."

I said, "Okay, you are really confident. What do you think this is?" After that, I opened my palm and waved the "black donkey hoof" in front of him.

Sun Jiuye's expression suddenly changed. He took a step back like a snake or a scorpion. He leaned against the wall of the tomb behind him, pointed at me and said, "Hu Bayi, you bully others too much. What time is it now?" What are you doing with the black donkey's hooves? I won't allow you to insult my character like this! If you come one step closer, I will fight you for my life!"

I used to only know that Professor Sun was beaten many times during the Cultural Revolution. He wore a top hat and wore a "jet". After being beaten during the day, he was locked up in a cowshed at night, so he became popular with me and the fat man. He had always had an aversion to being a guard in his bones and could easily be provoked. However, he did not expect Professor Sun to have such a violent reaction, and was actually shocked by him.

At this time, Shirley Yang also came up to persuade me. I asked my heart, and I did feel a little sorry in my heart. But then I thought about it, I never saw any corpses in the coffin hall. Even if there was corpse aura in the empty coffin, it had been there for hundreds of years. After they have dispersed, the appearance of "corpse-eating flies" around Professor Sun is definitely an abnormal sign. Don't be soft-hearted for a moment and leave disaster. You will know if Sun Jiuye is a "walking corpse" at a glance.

Thinking of this, I grinned and said to Mr. Sun Jiu: "I misunderstood. I saw that you were worried, and in order to keep you in the spirit of revolutionary optimism, I made a joke to you. How can I take it seriously? You have black donkey hooves. If it doesn't look good, just throw it away, and then..." As I spoke, I raised my hand and threw the "black donkey's hoof" towards Professor Sun.

I thought that as long as Mr. Sun Jiu catches the "black donkey hoof", he will not be a "corpse demon". Unexpectedly, when Professor Sun saw the "black donkey hoof" being thrown in front of him, he actually dodged and hid aside. The "black donkey hoof" He hit the tomb wall and fell down. He kicked him into the groundwater at the bottom of the stone steps. Then he glared at me and scolded me: "If you can help me find the Zhou Tian Gua Diagram, I will show you in front of you." It’s okay to eat this black donkey’s hooves with noodles, but I’m not in the mood to mess around with you now!”

I was stunned on the spot, secretly cursing how cunning this old guy could be. Not only did he not pick up the "black donkey's hoof", but he also kicked it into the water. Could it be that the "Sun Jiuye" who led us into the ancient tomb was... Is it really a monster that turned into a "walking corpse" after death?

These years of struggling on the verge of life and death have forced me to become a "skeptic." I asked the fat man behind me to quickly get me another "black donkey hoof", but the fat man said: "Every time I go out, I brought it, but it didn’t see much use. Didn’t you say pack lightly this time? So I saw you brought one, but I didn’t. I didn’t want to... I wanted to leave some space in the bag, more... Do you need more light weapons?"

I glanced at Shirley Yang again. She shrugged and said that she didn't have "Black Donkey Hooves" with her. I immediately felt a chill in my heart. If I had known, I wouldn't have been too clever to throw it at Sun Jiuye, but this time it turned out to be worse. It was self-defeating, but now how to tell whether he is a living person or a walking corpse? At this time, I suddenly heard Professor Sun sneer on the stone steps of the tomb. There was a hint of ferocity and terror in the laughter, which was particularly shocking to hear in the already gloomy and empty ancient tomb. (To be continued.
