Ghost Blowing Lantern II

Shirley Yang, Sun Jiuye and others did not remember such a situation in "Walking with Candles at Night". The scroll could not have been taken by mistake. Could it be that after entering the ancient tomb and the ghost house, the painting automatically showed strange phenomena?

Shirley Yang shook the torch in her hand, and the ghost figures in "Walking with Candles at Night" also flickered and appeared. Only then did everyone realize: "The ancient paintings were painted with cuttlefish dark brushes. These ghost figures can only be seen in the light of the fire." It will only appear next.”

Sun Jiuye took a breath of air: "Where is the Immortal House? It is simply a ghost cave and hell. There must be some shocking and terrifying things in the tomb of the Earthly Immortal, but... why did Feng Shigu hide this information in the painting? In? Does this hint at some secret? Everyone in Dixian Village has died long ago, who did he do this to see? "

When everyone saw the "vision" appearing in "Walking with Candles at Night", they were all shocked and doubtful. What Professor Sun said was indeed true, but when they thought about it more deeply, although there were examples of "fire avoidance" in Coffin Mountain, it was still possible. In the late Ming Dynasty, people still mainly relied on "candles and torches" to provide lighting in the dark. Several scrolls painted by the Earth Immortal himself were hung in the dark underground pavilion. Outsiders would naturally hold a lamp to look at them because they didn't understand. They must have been deliberately left to be seen by those who had the opportunity to enter the mountain in the future.

Tomb robbers in the past dynasties rarely used "mineral light sources". Although it is said that some people used "luminous pearls" to rob tombs in ancient times, luminous pearls are extremely rare and rare, and they cannot detect underground air quality or self-defense. , so it is just a special case among tomb robbers, and has never been widely circulated among "official robbers and casual robbers". Excavating the ground and digging tombs is inseparable from candles.

The Earth Immortal Feng Shigu passed the "Guanshan Zhimi Fu" to the Feng family's descendants, leaving a secret passage that appeared once every twelve years so that they could have the opportunity to enter the ancient tomb in the future. This was also a move that went against common sense, mostly because Feng Shigu knew it well and knew that there were tombs all over the world. No tomb in the world was forever strong and secret. Even if it was not stolen by the rebels, sooner or later with the changes in the mountains and rivers, it would be buried. Will be destroyed later.

Feng Shigu arranged it like this, and his deep scheming is really chilling. The mystery of this ancient tomb of the Earthly Immortal is not "hidden", but the word "out". When an outsider enters Coffin Mountain, it is the word "out". When the immortal comes out of the mountain. Not only Professor Sun, the descendant of the Feng family, but even our group of gold captains were all "chess pieces" controlled and used by him. They narrowly escaped death and entered the ancient tomb, just to promote the ancient emperor to the earthly immortal Fengshi. , knowing that entering the Hades Palace in the belly of the "Corpse Vein" will inevitably encounter unexpected events, but forced by the situation, we have to walk step by step towards the abyss like those who were buried before. The only difference is that we know that this is very likely It is a dead end road with no return.

At this time, only the sound like chewing rotten wood in the distance of the tomb passage was gradually approaching. Countless "coffin worms" swarmed around after entering the "Dixian Village", chasing the air of decay. There were many in the ancient tombs. Copper coffins and iron coffins can be entered without gaps, but some lacquered wood coffins will inevitably be chewed to pieces by them together with the coffins and corpses.

Our group has been infected with a lot of gloomy corpse energy in the "Wuyang King's Underground Palace". Sun Jiuye's condition is even more serious. I still don't know whether he is dead or alive, and I even suspect that he will "dead" at any time. Change”, so now we are all targets for attracting nearby “coffin bugs”.

In fact, although zombies and coffin chrysalis are scary, they are not necessarily impossible to resist. The most terrifying and troublesome thing at the moment is the "Nine Death Jingling Armor". Once it penetrates the wall of Coffin Mountain, it will inevitably Will the Dixian Village and the headless corpse be smashed to pieces? "How can there be any eggs under the overturned nest?" At that time, both the ancient corpses in the underworld and the living people in the ancient tombs were burned together.

I stared at "Viewing Mountains and Residences" for a while, and several thoughts ran through my mind, but there was no good way to escape. Now I can't blame the situation of class struggle for being too complicated, I can only blame myself for being too paralyzed in my thoughts.

Shirley Yang reminded me: "We are running out of torches, so we can't spend too much time in the dark house with gaps everywhere."

I gritted my back teeth and thought that if I couldn't fight it out this time, it would be impossible. At worst, we would fight to the death together. With mental preparation, I felt much more at ease, so I told everyone: "The Dixian Village in the Coffin Mountain and the one below it The ancient tombs are all connected through and through. Only the Tomb of the Earthly Immortal in the belly of the corpse-shaped mountain is relatively independent. Judging from the picture, we are not far from the Tomb of the Earthly Immortal. According to the previous plan, no matter what is inside, we have to take risks. Enter the tomb, find a way to find Feng Shigu's body, and burn it to avoid future trouble."

Sun Jiuye was in a daze. The "Guanshan Zhimi Fu" handed down from ancient times by Feng Shiqi seemed to be a spell that seduced people's souls. It had deceived Feng Shiqi and his descendants for hundreds of years, and now he had a vague premonition. This is a conspiracy. Now he does not advocate entering the Tomb of the Earthly Immortal again. He also regrets that he did not have a thorough plan at the beginning. He should have used explosives to collapse the mountain from the outside.

The fat man cursed: "Stop your fucking youthful dreams. If you want to blow up so many mountains in Coffin Gorge, how much military-grade high explosives are needed? Where can you get it, you stinky intellectual?" He immediately stretched out his hand. He pulled up Sun Jiuye who was squatting on the ground, and while dragging him towards the tomb passage, he said to him: "Strengthen discipline, and you will never win in a fight. Do you understand? Sun Laojiu, listen to Fatty and Lao Hu." The highest order must be correct, please leave immediately."

I also waved and called Shirley Yang and Yao Meier. Everyone shook their torches and walked straight ahead along the tomb passage. Referring to the direction in the picture, they turned around a Northern Song Dynasty tomb with a coffin suspended by an iron rope, and we arrived at the "Dixian Village" On the edge of the underworld, we only have three torches left in our hands that have not been extinguished.

I still have a can of kerosene fuel in my "carrying bag", which is enough to increase the intensity of the fire and disperse the coffin bugs coming from all directions, but I have doubts about whether the Guixu Ancient Mirror can suppress the Earth Immortal Feng Shigu, so I still have some doubts. He had forgotten to leave these kerosene as his last "killer weapon", so he would never use them easily, so he had to make up his mind to break out.

So I led everyone to push open the broken stone door at the exit of the secret passage, opened the way with a torch, and rushed out. Unexpectedly, the situation behind the village was very unexpected. Thousands of coffin insects that were disturbed by the copper corrosion did not Climbing to the belly of the corpse-shaped mountain, the place still maintains a strange atmosphere of ghostly silence.

I calmed down and saw a huge monument on the hillside outside the village. On the monument were wedged the six words "Lingxing Hall of Earth Immortal Tomb" and engraved with exquisite star palace patterns. There were stone-carved spirit animals on the monument. I Wanting to see clearly the situation ahead, he climbed to the top of the monument and looked around from a high place.

There are only a few arc-shaped shallow grooves in the belly of the corpse-shaped mountain. Every ten steps, there is a tall and burly one-legged bronze man. The bronze man is naked, and his appearance is half like a ghost and only half like a human. , their faces were filled with fear and fear, their eyes were wide open, and Yang Sui was constantly pouring out of their mouths, flowing in the stone troughs in the ditch, like dark red blood rivers twisting and circulating, blocking all the coffin insects crawling from all around. Outside, although Yang Sui is a cold mineral and has no heat of its own, it is enough to prevent the coffin worms who are afraid of light from crossing the thunder pond.

Located on the mountain among several ring-shaped Yangsui rivers, there is a deep ravine formed by a mountain crevice. There are planks on the wall. There are several archways across the sky on both sides. The cornices and pillars are scattered at different heights. It looks like The weather is extraordinary, and the tomb of the Earthly Immortal depicted in "Walking with a Candle at Night" should be at the bottom of this deep ravine.

I returned to the foot of the stone monument and called on everyone to jump over the stone trough where the sun was surging. Everyone was temporarily freed from the coffin worms that were chasing behind them. They felt a little more at ease. Then they walked to the archway and faced the deep ravine of Pangu's corpse. In the middle of the picture, you can see the darkness inside, the silence and eerie feeling, and the ominous feeling of "just leaving the tiger's den and returning to the wolf's den".

Although Yao Meier is extremely brave, what she has seen in the past few days are all amazing and horrifying things that she has experienced on the verge of death. It is inevitable that there are some ghosts and gods, and there are also legends about earthly immortals deceiving living people into tombs for burial. , has been circulated in Qingxi Town since ancient times. She looked at the bluestone plank on the wall, like green pythons snaking their way deep into the cave, and felt even more panicked.

I had no choice but to give her some comfort pills. I put out the torch and replaced the last spare battery for the tactical spotlight, while telling her that the legend of the Earth Immortal Sealing Master who came up to save people from the mountains in ancient times was very unreliable. This person was dead. Over the years, the corpse has either become stiff or rotted, and is at most a mummy. How can it become a fairy? I have traveled all over the country and entered many ancient tombs in my life, but I have never seen any corpse immortals in any tomb. To say the least, even if Feng Shigu, an old landowner, really had a corpse and came out to harm people, it would still be there. It will never succeed. I believe history and the people will never allow this to happen.

Yao Meier nodded, indicating that although she was overly nervous, she could still follow the team. The fat man said, "You can rest assured. I think it will be Sun Jiuye, the filial son and grandson of the Guanshan Feng family who dies, who will return first. Get all the Guanshan Taibao in the tomb to support us, and it won't be over until we mess up their affairs."

Sun Jiuye shook his head helplessly: "Why are you still so quick to talk and talk at this time?" He then said to me: "Don't pick up the big one and blow it, do you still have some kerosene left? Are you going to burn the ancient corpses in the tomb? Don’t be reluctant to do it when you see the room full of exposed weapons, and don’t hesitate to show mercy. If the corpse immortal in the tomb really escapes from Coffin Mountain, we will be in big trouble."

I was about to say, "You don't need to ask me about this at all. I naturally know the stakes of priorities," but suddenly I heard sounds like cracking silk coming from the rock formations above my head. The sound of cracking silk was so continuous that it hurt the bottom of people's ears.

Everyone subconsciously looked up, but firstly it was dark underground, and secondly there was a scarlet mist in the air, making it impossible to see what was going on in the rock formations. Yaomeier wondered: "Is this mountain going to collapse?" Shirley Yang said: "No, Coffin Mountain is a sarcophagus with no lid. It seems that the Armor of Nine Deaths Jingling Tomb buried in the mountain shell is about to fall off."

Although no tomb robbers have encountered the "Nine Deaths Jingling Armor" in the past thousand years, they have heard about the sharpness of this object. This kind of underground plant that is a mixture of bronze and flesh is definitely not something that only three or five people can do. We can handle it. The sound of the copper-corroded blood armor struggling and squirming in the rock formations sounds like the roar of death to our ears. Every time we hear a burst of cracking silk in the air, it is like a basin of cold water being poured on ourselves. , I couldn't help but feel frightened and the chill increased sharply.

We were worried that the Jingling Armor would appear from the thick fog at any time, so we did not dare to stay too long on the surface of Corpse-Shaped Mountain. We hurriedly wrapped Professor Sun and Yao Meier in the middle and walked down the stone steps embedded in the wall.

Above the Lingxing Hall is a deep ravine with two walls facing each other. It is very narrow and steep. The ancient walls on both sides are as neat as chopping with a knife and an ax. In the beam of the spotlight, you can clearly see the undulating rock veins in the strata, but If you look closely, you will see that the soil is full of uneven and uneven places. There are many jade stones with strange shapes buried in those places. The jade colors are ancient, some are bright red, some are gloomy. They are not modern things, and most of them are broken and incomplete. Well, according to the records in "Guanshan Excavation Biography", these jades are all sacrificial objects buried in Coffin Mountain during the witchcraft culture period.

I remembered the scene I had seen in the scroll before. It was this road that the martyrs took when they entered the tomb. There were many ghost-like ghosts hidden in the walls where jade articles were buried. However, when I was in this scene, I did not Seeing the situation depicted in "Walking with Candles at Night", other people must have had this idea. Everyone felt a cold swishing behind their backs, as if there were evil ghosts following quietly behind them, and they had to look back from time to time, deeper and deeper. As we walked, this feeling of uneasiness became stronger. The surroundings were gloomy and there seemed to be no direct threat in the darkness. However, we could feel that there was a strange atmosphere in the silence, as if we had entered a dragon's pond and a tiger's den. Everyone couldn't help but feel their muscles all over. Feeling tense, the body is on a hair-trigger alert.

Shirley Yang suddenly remembered something, and she whispered to me: "In the painting "Walking with Candles at Night", everyone held lanterns and torches, and we only lit candles to see the darkness hidden in the painting. Shadow, maybe this is a hint - in front of Lingxing Palace, you need to rely on firelight to see some things that are usually invisible."

My intuition also tells me that there is indeed something "something" buried in the rock and soil of the Pangu Vein. It is probably the "ghosts" depicted in the scroll. Since I don't know what its true appearance is, it is difficult to identify it. Good or bad, if we continue to walk deeper, we may encounter unexpected events at any time. After Shirley Yang said this, I planned to light a candle to see what happened.

Anyway, lighting a lamp and lighting a candle is a common move done by Captain Jin. Since I was in the middle of the mountain, I had no worries. I immediately took out half a candle and lit it in my hand. I held the flame with my palm and put it away. He walked slowly down the stone steps, holding a candle to illuminate the rock wall around him.

The candlelight shone on the wall, making the pieces of incomplete jade vividly reflected. They looked even more magnificent and mysterious than under the bright beam of a tactical spotlight. The fat man caught his eye and suddenly became greedy. He couldn't help but stretch out his hand. I went to touch it, wanting to pick off a few pieces and keep them as "souvenirs".

Sun Jiuye was worried that the fat man would cause trouble, but he had tried to persuade him many times before, but the fat man always used forceful words to talk him out of it. At this time, he had to change his approach, reaching out to stop him and saying: "These jade objects used as sacrifices are very evil. , Fatty Wang, please don’t get greedy and mess around with these things for a while, if you want to fight for personal gain and criticize repairs, you must fight for personal gain and criticize repairs!”

The fat man said with an innocent face: "There is no word in the world more than seriousness. Fatty, let me carve out a few pieces and go home to study them carefully to see where the evil lies in these jade objects. Can this be considered selfish?"

When Mr. Sun Jiu met a fat man like Fatty, it would be difficult to make sense even if he really made sense. I saw that Mr. Sun wanted me to come forward to emphasize the important principle of "strengthening discipline", so I turned away. He pretended not to see it and just concentrated on observing the stone wall illuminated by the candlelight, but he didn't find anything unusual.

I walked down a few more steps, but I heard Fatty and Sun Jiuye arguing behind me suddenly fell silent at the same time. Shirley Yang and Yao Meier, who were walking in front of me, stopped quickly and looked back to see what was going on behind them. , both Fatty and Sun Jiuye were stunned on the spot, staring at the rock formation motionless.

I walked back to the top of the stone steps and took a look at where the two of them were watching. It turned out that the fat man used the engineer shovel to knock the jade embedded in the wall. The earth and rocks fell from the place where the shovel fell, exposing the contents inside. There are whole pieces of ancient jade inside, stacked and stacked to form a wall. There seems to be a ghostly blurry outline in the jade wall. When I held the candle and looked closer, the blurry ghostly shape suddenly became clear, and it became even more clear. What's surprising is that it seems to be tangible and insubstantial, and can actually move in the wall. In the trance of the candlelight, the black shadow suddenly raises its hands and feet to crawl forward, trying to escape from the wall, only to feel a sudden movement. A dark wind blew in my face, and the flame of the candle in my hand swayed a few times, swaying and looking like it was about to go out.

I noticed a gust of cold wind coming towards my face, and hurriedly held the candle that was about to go out with my hands. Although the candlelight was blocked, the tactical spotlight on the mountaineering helmet was still on. When the beam swayed, Fatty, Sun Jiu, and I I could see it clearly, and with just one glance, the person's hair stood on end, and there were more than 18,000 sweat pores all over the body, and all of them were sweating coldly.
