Chapter 10: Face Lanterns
We worked together to remove the shelves, and the wall was nothing special. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info I reached out and tapped it, how did it sound like a solid wall.
"This wall is hollow. Dai Xu touched the wall with his hand.
Dai Xu didn't say a word, and kicked the wall out of a big hole, and a smell that had been precipitated for a long time came to his nose. We opened the hole large enough for one person to pass through, Dai Xu walked in front to lead the way, his apprentice in the back, and I in the middle.
After a few steps up the stairs, a rusty iron door appeared in front of us. The position of the door lock is crossed by two yellowed notes, which seem to be seals left behind in the past.
I wanted to get some useful information from the seal, but unfortunately the font has been corroded and I can only vaguely see the word "Academy". The iron door was locked, and looking at the rusty lock, it seemed that this place had been sealed off for a long time.
Dai Xu's apprentice picked up a brick next to him, maybe the lock was rusted, and he smashed the lock open without a little effort. When I opened the door, there was flying dust, I coughed a few times, brushed the flying dust in front of me, covered my mouth, and walked down with them.
Just a flight of stairs, we came to a clearing by the light of a flashlight. It seems that this should be the warehouse of the former school library, but the huge place is now nothing but flying dust and air precipitation.
Dai Xu felt that the atmosphere around him was very strange, so he kept standing there and observing the surroundings.
"Stand still and don't move. Dai Xu said vigilantly.
If you don't die, you won't die, I didn't take Dai Xu's words seriously, and while Dai Xu was distracted, I staggered and moved to a wall. There was a chill above my head, and I picked up the flashlight and shone it on the top, and a round thing with three hideous faces printed on it, and I stared at it in a daze.
Dai Xu noticed my actions, first looked up at me, and scolded "not good" in his heart. Then he strode over and blindfolded me with his hands and turned off the flashlight. I broke free of his hand and pointed curiously at the object, motioning for him to tell me what it was.
Dai Xu first turned on the flashlight and looked up to observe it carefully, and then looked at the ground. The five-line diagram made of black paint on the ground, why didn't I notice it just now?
Dai Xu looked desperate, he looked at his left hand, and then picked up my right hand and looked at it, he didn't say a word, but the expression on his face gave people an indescribable feeling.
"Something happened, did you find something? Dai Xu's apprentice was about to come over, but was stopped by Dai Xu.
"Don't come here. Dai Xu frowned. If his judgment is correct, he and I have already been hit by the Human Face Gu, and it is already a life of nine deaths. Now one less implicated is one.
Dai Xu's apprentice knew that Dai Xu told him not to go over, and he was sure that Dai Xu was in some danger, and he didn't want him to fall into danger. Feng Ping is exhausted here, how can he encounter danger. He was so anxious that he was now in a mess and wanted to help us, but he didn't know how to help.
I pointed to the thing above my head, wondering what it was, and he said four words in no uncertain terms.
"Face lanterns. ”
Dai Xu's apprentice was dumbfounded when he heard the words "human face lantern". Dai Xu only mentioned it to him two days ago, but he really didn't expect to meet it now. "Human Face Lantern" is Miao Jiang's witchcraft, which is one of the "human skin lanterns", and it is also one of the most powerful ones. Generally speaking, the "human face lantern" is used to imprison the ghost of a tragic death, and it is slowly transformed into a Gu soul and trapped in the lantern forever, and those who see it will be picked up by the lantern.
The person who sees it will not die immediately, but a green tendon will appear in the palm of the hand, and the green tendon will spread along the arm to the heart.
At first, you won't feel anything, but as the green tendons spread, you will feel an invisible force gnawing at your soul. The invisible force will slowly torment you to death, and in the end you will be left with a soulless shell. The body will not die immediately, but will become a "human skin puppet" of the Gu master and harm the world.
I always thought that it was left by someone on Halloween, and I didn't think much about it, but I didn't know that a catastrophe was coming.
"I'm going to take this lantern down and take it away, to find a way to crack this human face Gu, Shi (Dai Xu's apprentice's nickname) You turn around and close your eyes. His apprentice turned around and closed his eyes, and motioned to Dai Xu. Dai Xu carefully took off the "face lantern", and I shone the lantern with a flashlight, staring at it with wide eyes and observing it carefully.
This lantern is so chic, the pores on the human face are clearly visible, and it is made like the real thing.
I wanted to reach out and touch it to see if the person's face was real or painted, but as soon as I stretched out my hand, I was slapped twice by Dai Xu and withdrew my hand. This is the first time I have beaten me since I met him, although I didn't want it, but it also hurt, I don't want it. Dai Xu took off his clothes and wrapped the lantern, holding it like a treasure. Through the clothes, the lantern emitted a faint red light.
"Take it. Dai Xu stuffed it directly into my hand without my consent, and the red light disappeared in my hand.
"Why don't you let your apprentice take it. ”
"We are all men, the masculinity is too heavy, and it will conflict with the witch soul inside, we are the only woman here, you are the only one who belongs to the yin, don't be afraid of the rain, take this lantern and don't break it." Dai continued to tell him again and again, saying that he was afraid that I would spoil his treasure.
I nodded ignorantly, and the ghost sent him a good hand. Receiving the "human face lantern" mentioned by Dai Xu with both hands, a chill hit his heart and spread all over his body. I suddenly felt that this matter was not as simple as I thought. It's just a lantern with a human face, how can Dai Xu be nervous like that, how can this lantern be like a block of ice, revealing coldness.
I took the lantern and followed them back to the library, and Dai Xu and his apprentices repaired the hole, and I stood by in boredom to supervise the work. They deserve to learn civil engineering, and after repairing, they are painted with a layer of white wall powder similar to the surrounding area, and they can't see the clues if they don't look carefully.
It's just a lot of effort to find these materials, but it's quite gratifying to look at the results behind. It's better to do such a shady thing, or to do it unknowingly, so as not to be found out and don't know how to justify.
After tidying up the floor, we pushed the bookshelves back to their original positions, and we went out from where we came in. At this time, it was already light, and we walked on the way to the women's dormitory with different moods.
Dai Xu said that the women's dormitory is full of girls, and the yin qi is relatively heavy, so there should be no accident when this lantern is placed here first, but it must not be seen by others.
When I got to the door of the dormitory, the door was wide open. I dragged my tired body into the door of the dormitory, and for the first time I saw Dai Xu's repeated advice from my mother-in-law, he told me to put it in a place that others couldn't see or touch. I didn't take his words to heart, and it made a big mistake later.
I climbed to the fifth floor in one breath, came to the door of the dormitory, opened the door of the dormitory, and walked in lightly. My stomach hurt so much that I put the "human face lantern" on my desk and ran into the toilet.
After going to the toilet, I only thought about sleeping, and as soon as I got out of the toilet, I climbed into bed, completely forgetting the lantern and Dai Xu's advice.
