Chapter 229 for ghosts

"Eighteen?! You wouldn't say there were seventeen of them, would you? Dazhe said in surprise.

"Is there any, why don't you go next door and have a look?" I say.

Dazhe's head shook like a rattle, obviously reluctant. "Yin Yin, what are we going to do now? You can't just spend it here, can you? Sister Wang Na asked.

"Now, let's see what he's going to do." I said, snorting at the black ghost glaze, which had changed its appearance for a moment, and now stood around the statue like a furoshiki.

"Why does it always surround that statue? Could it be that it was his treasure? Lin Zhuang muttered behind him.

"Baby? It shouldn't be, but it could be..."I thought about it for a moment, and Dazhe couldn't stand it at all, so he pressed into it.

"What could it be? Yin Yin, can you not talk halfway? ”

"Probably a sacrifice!" I say.

"Sacrifice?! Are you saying that this stone statue is a sacrifice for this thing, and those things have such a good appetite that it eats stones? Dazhe said with emotion.

"Of course not." "If this thing had fed on stones, the statues would have been eaten up long ago, but they don't seem to have changed, they are neither worn nor destroyed, so they are not for food." Arrow said.

"Luo Da Beauty, of course I don't think so, but isn't that what it's used for?" Dazhe's more serious temper has come up again.

"How do I know, I've never seen this thing." Arrow didn't say angrily.

"Stop talking nonsense here. The energy of this thing is not on us now, so let's get out of here now and save the Wen brothers. I said.

Everyone responded immediately and retreated from the front hall of the ear room, but as soon as they came to the back hall full of literature, calligraphy and paintings, they immediately realized that it was not easy to leave, and the small door opened by Yun Ximing had been quietly closed at some point.

"#@$&" Dazhe cursed a particularly ugly swear word, "This is going to trap us." There's no movement in this tomb. Silent, thiefy. Dazhe complained.

"Don't complain, I'll go up again." Yun Ximing said and kicked the wall again, but this time he inserted the "sweater needle" he was carrying into the wall. Hanging himself in mid-air. There are words in my mouth all the time. "Strange. It's so weird..."

"Brother Childe, you should hurry up and open the door, what are you playing with on it?" Dazhe said below.

Yun Ximing rolled over and jumped down. "It's so strange, why is the switch I pressed before missing..."Yun Ximing said.

"Gone?!" Dazhe repeated, "Brother Gongzi, you made it clear, what do you mean it's gone?" Dazhe asked.

"The switch I pressed before was a movable wall tile, but when I went up and pressed it again, it couldn't be pressed, the wall tile was dead, and there were no other mechanisms around." Yun Ximing said.

"How so?! Sister Yinyin, we won't be trapped here, will we? Yun Ning asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, there's no way to get there." I said and looked at Wu Teng, this person, the only one who had never said a word, looked surprisingly calm.

"Wu Teng, what do you think about this matter?" I asked.

Who knew that it was Yun Ximing who answered my question, "Don't count on him, I was so scared that my legs were weak just now, and I dragged him all the way from behind." Yun Ximing said.

I was walking in front just now, and I really didn't pay attention to this detail. "Well, then, let's split up, I think the mechanism is hidden in the wall, and it should be a change of location in a while." I say.

"Okay, Roger!" Dazhe said just do it, and began to search along the wall.

"Hurry up, everyone, after all, there's another one inside." Uncle Lu reminded that everyone couldn't help but speed up the work at hand, but there was one exception, Wu Teng looked at the calligraphy, paintings and documents on the Bogu shelf, and actually flipped through it.

"I said Wotou, if you don't hurry up and find a mechanism, what are you looking at there? Now is not the time for you to study hard and improve every day. Lin Zhuang said sullenly.

Wu Teng had just recovered from the shock just now, his face was still a little pale, and he flipped through the book weakly, "I always feel that there is some clue here..."

We didn't care about him, we were all busy with our own affairs, but the progress was not great, and we haven't been able to reconfirm the location of the agency, and suddenly Wu Teng's side seems to have discovered something and taken care of us.

"I found it, this is it, you guys come and take a look." Wu Teng said.

"Found the mechanism? Where is it? "Dazhe was the first to run over, but saw Wu Teng holding a dilapidated ancient book in his hand." What's this? Aren't we looking for a mechanism? How can there be a mechanism in the book? ”

"Fatty, don't make a mess first, listen to what he has to say." Yun Ximing said.

"I don't need to say more, you will know when you see it." Wu Teng handed over the ancient book, this book is different from the other books on the Bogu shelf, it has not been embalmed, and the paper used is also very ordinary, after hundreds of years of air oxidation and corrosion, it is very fragile in his hand, it is simply vulnerable. However, the ink on it is quite clear.

"Someone added gum to the ink, which is why the ink is so clear." Sister Wang Na said that she has always liked to practice calligraphy, and she is proficient in all kinds of stationery and study, so it is not surprising to know this.

I picked up the book and glanced at the cover, "Overseer's Diary", is this it.

"This is not a collection of documents in this burial room at all, this is written by the overseer of the construction project here, it should be very complicated here, in order to imitate the project after it was built to be left for burial, they wrote this thing, and kept it for use when they escaped in the future, in order to hide people's eyes and ears, hidden in these funeral calligraphy and painting documents." Wu Teng explained.

"So that means that there is a record in this book where is the door to escape?" Dazhe said.

"It's not sure yet, but you'll have to see it to find out." Yun Ximing carefully opened the book, the paper was already very fragile, and it was not easy to turn a page.

"I was sent here to repair this work, encountered a hundred years of rain, even for three months, the work can not be recovered, so I changed one place, as usual, and changed three places, the situation is also, and so far, the first work, said, that is, this is the case, it is appropriate to build a tomb."

The approximate meaning of this paragraph is: We were sent here to build this project, and we encountered heavy rain that had not been seen in a hundred years, and it rained for three consecutive months, and the project could not be continued, so we had to change one place, or so, and changed three places, and the situation was the same, until we arrived here, the construction project was able to go smoothly, and the emperor said, this is it, suitable for building tombs.

It seems that this overseer is a careful person, and he not only recorded his escape path, but also recorded what happened to him when he came to work here, Yun Ximing turned another page, and we continued to read.

"I dug the ground, there are 100 feet, and then I stopped, and I didn't know what it was, and I wanted the black of ink, very huge, and covered this hole. If you want to kill it, you can't do it, and then someone sent by the emperor said, this is a terrible way, and if you don't get rid of it, you can only take measures. Seeing that this ghost was entangled in the stone, he built eighteen Arhat statues for the ghosts and gods, but they actually rested. ”

This section is saying that we dug down into the ground, dug a hundred feet, and finally stopped, and dug something I don't know, it was as black as ink, very huge, and it turned out to be its lair. I wanted to kill it, but I couldn't find a way, and finally a master sent by the emperor said, this is an evil ghost, there is no way to get rid of it, but to find a way to suppress it. It was found that this evil ghost liked to be entangled in stones, so he built eighteen Arhat statues and offered gods to the ghosts, and finally calmed down.

I seem to understand something, why there is a lot of sand and bricks here but few stones, why those incense cases are empty, why all those great gods and arhats are placed in wooden basins on the ground, it turns out that it is all because of that thing, that ghost glaze. What kind of existence is it to offer gods to ghosts, and it is necessary to build a stone statue into a god-like worship.

"Ximing, look and see if there is anything about this ghost glaze that makes them feel particularly terrible." I say.

"Found it, here's a word." Yun Ximing said.

"If my intermediary loses, and he gains it, he or he starves to death, or he has gone crazy, and he doesn't know what it is, he is suspected of being a ghost, so he is afraid."

"Yin Yin, what do you mean by that? Is someone dead? "Dazhe is not good at speaking, so he turned around and asked me.

"One after another, some of us disappeared, and when we found them again, they were either starving to death, or they were already crazy, and they didn't know what the situation was, but they all said that it might be this evil spirit, so everyone was very afraid." I translated it for him.

"Oh my God, why are you still here? If you don't run away quickly, what kind of underground palace will you build for them? Dazhe said.

"It's also written about it." Yun Ximing pointed to a sentence and said.

"I am even afraid, and I want to give up my work, but I don't allow it, and there are a few people who want to go, and because they see it, they will abandon the stick and kill, so they don't dare to go. I know that the day of the tomb is our sacrifice, so I repair this note, no matter who in the future, this book will be published, I hope to bring a word to my family, and it can also be my sacrifice. ”

We were so frightened that we wanted to give up the project, but the emperor didn't allow it, and a few of us tried to escape, but when we were discovered, we were immediately beaten to death with sticks in public, and no one dared to run away. I knew that the day the tomb was built was our memorial day, so I decided to write this commentary, and whoever it was in the future would get the book and escape, hoping to bring a message to my family so that they could pay their respects to me.

"This guy is really miserable, does he have his name written on it? Let's burn some paper for him when he goes out. Dazhe said.

"The paper is so badly damaged that I can't see his name on it." Yun Ximing said.

"And how to escape?" I asked.

"It's also strange that it wasn't written," Yun Ximing said. (To be continued......)
