Chapter 214: Labyrinth (2)
Sanzang glanced at me angrily, walked forward, and spoke in a tone full of jokes, "Although this is reasonable and the method is good, I really don't know what use you are holding this thing, could it be artificially creating a ghost fire to pretend to be a ghost?" ”
"You're an academic mistake, ghost fire is a fragment of the soul that doesn't have enough power after death, and has no chance to become a ghost, floating in the world, leaving only some fragments of memories or some kind of emotions or thoughts. Occasionally, it will be recognized by chance that with the passage of time, the consumption of soul power will eventually disappear completely in the air, similar to the soul flying away. This situation has existed all over the world, from ancient times to the present, and there are many people who have seen it, and Han Wangyi's "Nine Thoughts and Mourning Years" has a record: "The divine light is shining, and the ghost fire is shining." "The poem "Difficult to Walk" by the former Shu Guanxiu: "You don't see the ancient emperor of burning gold and alchemy, and the ghost fire is in the poplar." Song Luyou's "Notes on the Old School" Volume 4: "When I was more than ten years old, I saw a lot of ghost fires in the suburbs." Uncle Wang Ren's "Ghost Hunting: A Group There": "The ghost fire flashed into the wild shrine!" The shrine is full of ghost fires!" Similarly, Li He's "Su Xiaoxiao's Tomb": "Oil-walled cars, treat each other for a long time." Cold green candles, glorious labor. The "cold green candle" in also refers to the ghost fire. People can't understand this phenomenon, or they don't want to believe it, so they always want to find a scientific explanation. It's just that it just so happens that some of the characteristics of the phosphorus fire are really similar to the ghost fire, which meets this need of people! How could I possibly do such a boring thing as making a fake phosphorus fire, of course, if it is profitable, another story! It's just that some charms need phosphorus powder in the talismans, so I'll bring some with me! ”
In the deep and empty corridor, only the occasional whispered conversation between me and Sanzang. The previous episode didn't waste us long, and we didn't relax our tense nerves while bickering all the way. He carefully explored every corner he walked. Every time you walk to a place, the bluestone palace lamp on the wall will automatically turn on. It will also go out on its own after walking by, and the flashlight has been stuffed into the backpack. I took a picture of the palace lantern with my mobile phone, thinking that I would bring it to the master after I went out to see if he knew something!
Cautiously turning a long corridor and going up another fork in the road, he soon saw a stone door standing in the middle of the corridor. Waving to Sanzang beside him, he walked to the door and tried to push. "Boom" the sound of the stone door rubbing against the hinge. Sure enough, it was exactly the same as the original stone gate, and it only needed brute force to push it open! I want to come to the back of the door is also a stone room.
Turning his head to look at Sanzang, "I'll go in first and take a look!" ”
Before Sanzang could reply, "Knock~Knock~Knock~" A huge footstep that seemed to have stepped on people's hearts came from the other end of the fork!
I didn't think much about it, it was almost a reflex. Together, we quickly pushed open a gap, quickly slipped in, and then turned around and pushed the stone door until it was almost completely closed. Only a small gap remained. I don't know if the monster heard the sound of the stone door turning, but I knew that the momentum that was extremely annoying but could not resist was accompanied by the sound of footsteps approaching and pressing towards us again, "Tick! The cold sweat on his forehead dripped uncontrollably to the ground, splashing a small splash.
Spray? Didn't have time to delve into it. Because the unknown creature outside had already walked to the door of the stone chamber. I've used the Turtle Breath Secret Technique to reduce my vital signs as much as possible, and I'm very worried about letting Sanzang hide in the depths of the stone chamber. lest I be discovered, but I found that the breath of this kid Sanzang is no less hidden than me! He shouldn't have learned the secret art of turtle breathing! But that's fine. At least you can rest assured.
I leaned over the slit left behind and looked out, where a humanoid monster was standing in the corridor. Tall and athletic. It is a lot taller than a normal adult man, and it is also a lot thicker, and the muscles of the whole body are raised high, and the criss-crossing blood vessels and meridians on the muscles can be clearly seen. There is no clothing on the body, and the skin is as smooth and sticky as a frog's mucous membrane, showing a dead gray with whitish in the middle of it. The little head without a single hair was extremely disproportionate to the body full of tendon flesh, and the top of the head was very sharp and narrow, as if it had been clamped by something. As he walked, he saw its face clearly, and it was no longer a simple ugly word that could be summed up! A huge sarcoma almost covered the entire face, and I couldn't see where the eyes and nose were at all, only a fat mouth was seen under the sarcoma, with a bruised color, and saliva hung on the corner of the mouth. The sarcoma was covered with slender white hairs, and it poked into the air around it, and it was still wriggling around. At a glance, you can see that these fluffs are also a kind of organ-like body tissue of this monster, and it is very likely that they play the role of eyes and nose. Looking down, the monster has a total of twelve breasts on its chest and abdomen, like pigs, dogs, cows and sheep, but there are no obvious gender characteristics, and it is impossible to tell whether the monster is male or female, or a sexless creature.
I've looked through all kinds of ancient books, but I've never seen this creature, and I haven't even heard of it. I don't know if it's because I'm lonely or if it's really an unknown ancient species! There was a very strange aura all over the body, just like corpse qi, ghost qi, demonic qi and many other breaths were mixed together chaotically to form a new aura. What has always made me and Sanzang feel indescribably oppressive is this strange atmosphere.
Judging by its clumsy walking movements, and looking at its figure, it stands to reason that it should be a strength creature. But in my heart I understand, the most dare not underestimate is this creature, people's first impression is often to kill themselves in battle, looking at the smart tentacles on the sarcoma, I am afraid that this monster's perception is extremely strong, once you fight, it may give you a big fright!
The sarcoma monster walked towards the other end of the corridor step by step, and did not stop when passing by the stone gate, it seems that he did not find me and Sanzang, and has been tense and did not dare to loosen a little, so as not to fall short, until it went all the way "dong dong" away, a turn disappeared, and Sanzang and I let out two long breaths. (To be continued.) )
