Chapter 159: Sky Lantern

Zhou Pojun glanced at the corpse at Wei Xiu's feet, pulled Wei Xiu over and said, "It's okay, there is a corpse." ”

There was silence above, and after about three or four seconds, they jumped down one by one.

These people were like Wei Xiu, and they were startled when they saw the corpses under their feet, even if these people had been engaged in this work all year round, they were still frightened and sweated when they suddenly saw this kind of person with blurred flesh and blood.

It was the skeleton, and when he suddenly saw the corpse under his feet, he let out a strange laugh, and with a flick of his wrist, a strange black whip was thrown out, and the whip went straight into the chest cavity of the corpse, and then was pulled out of the white mud by the black whip.

"Being burned alive by lime is really a rare torture, and I'm afraid only the legendary cannon can compare to it!" the skeleton said with a grim smile as he glanced at the skeleton.

It was only at this time that Wei Xiu suddenly realized that the snow-white thing under his feet turned out to be slaked lime!

Zhou Pojun took the flashlight and shone it up for a long time with an expressionless face, but except for a stone pillar and mud brick capping, there was nothing unusual.

After a while, Zhou Pojun said in a cold tone: "This is a flap quicksand trap, but the quicksand has been replaced with quicklime, and the water source can be stored for so long, this bucket is probably not simple." ”

Zhou Pojun's words produced a strange echo in the narrow stone room, which sounded like a ghostly language, which made people frightened.

Wei Xiu looked at the corpse that was thrown aside by the skeleton's whip with palpitations, and his face was a little pale.

Quicklime reacts with water to produce calcium hydroxide in the process of reacting with a large amount of heat, increasing the volume by one to two times, this process is commonly known as maturation, that is, hydrated lime used in construction.

It's just that I didn't expect the owner of the tomb to make it into a trap, which is really frightening.

"Let's go!" Scoop said in a cold tone, glancing at the corpse.

Zhou Pojun seemed to have entered the state, took out a trekking pole from his waist and shook it off, held a flashlight in one hand, and carefully walked along the only exit of the stone room.

Wei Xiu swallowed a mouthful of saliva, gritted his teeth and followed.

This kind of ghost place, at present, it seems that Zhou Pojun looks more reliable, so it is better to follow him.

Perhaps because of the mountainous area, the tomb looks as if it was carved out of the mountain, with only a few places of blue-gray stone bricks.

The stone room where Wei Xiu and the others fell looked like an inconsequential place, and it seemed to be specially set up for the burial of tomb robbers, which seemed a little unreasonable.

There is only one road in this stone room that I don't know where it leads, the road is narrow, although Wei Xiu's figure is not as high as high, but he still has to bow his waist slightly when he walks in it, which is really uncomfortable.

At this time, the skeleton looks extremely sassy, and it can hold its head high, throw off its arms and stride forward, this body is indeed born for tomb robbers.

The corridor is dark and narrow, and if it weren't for a waterproof spotlight, I am afraid that this kind of place would not be able to stay for a moment.

In the extreme silence, Wei Xiu could even hear the breathing of the people around him. Wei Xiu touched the fish intestine sword tied to his forearm, gritted his steel teeth, and his eyes gradually became resolute.

As I walked, a glimmer of light suddenly appeared in front of me. Everyone's expressions were slightly dark, Zhou Pojun made a quiet gesture, quietly touched it, and the scoop seemed to be a little uneasy, and quietly followed.

After a while, there were flashing lights at the entrance of the cave, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this, and walked out quickly.

At a certain moment, Wei Xiu's front suddenly opened up, and a stone room about a foot high suddenly appeared in front of him. This stone chamber is symmetrical and rectangular, the stone chamber is paved with blue bricks, there is a stone door in the place where Wei Xiu comes from the opposite, the door panel of the stone door has collapsed at this time, and the ground is full of broken stones, but there are two stone lions squatting in front of the stone door that are quite abstract and impressive.

Wei Xiu looked to both sides again, and there was a stone cave with a black hole on the right hand, and he didn't know where it led.

The reason why this stone chamber is bright is that several candles are lit in the center of the stone chamber, and next to the wax shape is a semicircular vessel about the size of a skull, with a white grease-like substance like lard inside.

In this white grease there was a candle center, the size of a turbid fire bean, emitting a dark yellow light, as if to cover the light of the candle next to it.

"Sky Lantern !!" When the candle dragon saw the semi-circular candle flame, he lost his voice in horror: "Someone actually lit the sky lantern, damn it! This is to sacrifice to ghosts!"

With the words of the candle dragon, the well-informed Zhou Pojun and the scoop head suddenly looked extremely ugly!

Wei Xiu looked at the candle dragon for some reason, he knew what it meant to light the sky lantern, it was a big torture in the Qing Dynasty, and the person was tied with cloth, tied upside down on the pole, poured oil, and ignited, so it was also called pouring some human oil wax.

But where is the charred corpse of someone at this time? Wei Xiu looked at Zhou Pojun again, and from his face, he could see that it was obviously not this explanation. Before Wei Xiu could ask, Lao Qi asked in a deep voice, "Candle Dragon, what does this mean?"

The candle dragon's face turned pale as he approached the pile of candles, and when he was confirmed again, his face turned pale again, and he was close to the face of the dead.

"Legend has it that there is an ancient sacrifice, the human skull is cut off to make a lamp, and then the person is placed on the ever-bright lamp, and the human oil can be obtained from the skull on 7749 days, and the oil is used to make the lamp oil and the skull as a lamp, which is said to be able to last for a hundred years, and it is the holy object of sacrificing ghosts. The candle dragon's face was still pale.

Everyone gasped when they heard this, surprised by the cruelty of the sky lantern making process.

"Then what does this have to do with us?" asked the most silent man in the team, even Wei Xiu didn't know his name, and his face was a little ugly.

The candle dragon took a deep breath: "Where do you see the lantern is lit?"

Everyone looked at the sky lantern inexplicably, and when they saw a pile of candles next to the sky lantern, they looked at the candle dragon again for some unknown reasons.

Zhou Pojun saw the frightened appearance of the candle dragon, and said: "According to the rules of the inverted bucket, after the fight, it is to order a candle to show good luck." If the ghost blows out the lamp, we can naturally know immediately and leave. Now someone is lighting a sky lantern next to it, this is a sacred object for ghosts, and the ghosts will blow out the lanterns?"

"Isn't it better?" Lai Ba experienced the ghost blowing the lamp, and was frightened at the time, but at this time he was overjoyed when he heard this.

"What a fart, the candle has been burning for a long time, I don't know the bad luck, if it's an ordinary tomb, then it's naturally easy to do, if it's a murderous tomb, we don't know about it, wouldn't it ......" Zhou Pojun didn't say anything about it, this kind of thing is better not to say murderous words.

Lai Ba looked at Zhou Pojun's grim face, and then looked at the pale old face of the candle dragon, and said a little confused: "Then what should I do? Why don't we turn off this lantern?"

As soon as the words "extinguish the sky lantern" came out, the indoor light suddenly swayed, as if there was a yin wind, and the candle flame flickered, which shocked everyone into a shocking silence.

At this moment, there seemed to be one more person in the field, no, one more ghost, because of Lai Ba's words, and the angry wind rolled up, and the air seemed to be frozen for a while.

The stone chamber was quiet, and everyone's faces were extremely ugly, and under the light of the strange candle flames, everyone looked more like ghosts than people.

"Where are there any ghosts in this world? Lao Tzu has stolen a lifetime of tombs, dug up I don't know how many ancestral graves, and I have experienced a lot of ghost blowing out the lamp, if there were really ghosts, Lao Tzu would have died a long time ago and would have no place to be buried, and he would still appear here?"

"That'...... Stolen?" the skeleton asked tentatively.

"Thief !!," the scoop said fiercely.

"Do you see what kind of tomb this is?" asked Scoop as he turned to Candle Dragon.

I don't want the candle dragon at this time to be really frightened, as if he hadn't heard it, and it took a few times to react, but he was still at a loss, obviously his mind had been taken away by legends and myths, and his courage was lost.

"Tang Tomb, if I'm not mistaken, it should be Tang Tomb!"

Everyone looked at the sound in surprise, but found that Wei Xiu had already walked to the side of the stone lion, turned to everyone and explained: "Look at the exaggerated shape of these stone lions, the lines are simple, especially the developed chest and chest muscles, which is a feature only in the Tang Dynasty, so I guess this should be a Tang tomb, even if it is not a Tang tomb, it should be in the Tang Dynasty before and after." ”

"Mr. Wei is really knowledgeable!" The scoop was overjoyed when he heard this, and he praised it regardless of whether this guess was right or not: "The Tang tomb is good, the Tang tomb is rare, and the Tang Dynasty is rich, let's send it!"

Seeing the rare excitement of the scoop, everyone was overjoyed when they heard the words, and the fear that had been swept away by the scoop's ferocious aura was swept away under the temptation of money.

These people have been in the industry for five or six years at the latest, and they can be said to be the closest people to ghosts, although they have experienced strange things, but they have never seen the so-called "ghosts", so deep down they really don't believe in this thing.

"Check the equipment, take a rest, and after a stick of incense, let's go again!" said the scoop thug with a wave of his hand.

When the people heard this, they hurriedly got ready. The Bluetooth walkie-talkie should be debugged, the watch time should be checked again, the electronic equipment on the body should be checked again, and the guy who eats should also be placed in a place that can be touched.

While everyone was resting, Zhou Pojun and Scoop probed along the other road, and when they came back, Scoop said with a gloomy face: "It's a lime trap again, someone estimates that there must be suspicious holes on these two stone chambers, which are used to deceive tomb robbers." It seems that the level of tomb robbers who are one step ahead of us is there, but the ability, it is estimated that he is a half-hanger, and he can get into the pit if he hits a robbery hole. Scoop said sarcastically.

When everyone heard this, the atmosphere was slightly relaxed. Since the strength of the group in front of them is average, then I am afraid that this sky lantern does not know the stakes and is just messing around, so what are you afraid of?

After a stick of incense, everyone finished resting, and again, under the leadership of Zhou Pojun, entered along the stone gate guarded by the stone lion.

This is another long corridor, but this corridor is much larger than the previous one, at least Wei Xiu can walk with a straight back.

Just as he was about to walk out of the hole, Zhou Pojun suddenly stretched out his hand to signal everyone to stop, reached out and took out a burning stick from his backpack, scratched and ignited it, and threw it out.

Then the crowd saw the burning rod along the way, illuminating the road, landing at the exit, and shining a light all around.

"There's a flap, don't touch things. Zhou Pojun suddenly spoke, and then walked to a position, and knocked the trekking pole in his hand to the front, and suddenly the ground in front of him was extremely smooth, and the ground was warped at one end, and the other end was concave, and it was about one meter long.

Zhou Pojun lifted the spotlight and swept it inside, and then strode over with an expressionless face.

Everyone stepped over one by one following Zhou Pojun's appearance, and when Wei Xiu passed by, he was curious, the flashlight shone down, and a pair of empty eyes looked at Wei Xiu coldly from the gap in the flap.

Wei Xiu's back was covered with cold sweat, and his feet almost slipped, and his whole body felt cold.
