As soon as Lin Jing was about to start telling a ghost story, the house instantly fell silent.

What do you say? Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Lin Jing pondered in her heart, ghost, ghost, ghost......

Her brain was running high, and between the electric lights and flints in her mind, three words flashed, and her heart moved.

Taking the water bottle handed over by Yin Ning, taking a sip and clearing his throat, Lin Jing glanced at everyone and asked, "Have you ever heard of the words 'ghost blowing the lamp'?" ”

"I've heard something like that." Huang Kaiqin thought for a while and replied, "Du Fu has a poem called "Moving to the Gong'an Mountain Pavilion": The southern country is foggy during the day, and the north wind is cold. The road is dangerous, and the body is far away in the clouds. The mountain ghost blows out the lamp, and the cook speaks at night. The rooster asked the front hall, and the world dared to seek peace. ”

Ding Zhi is from the Chinese department and reads a lot of miscellaneous books: "I remember a folk saying, but there is an explanation about ghosts blowing lamps: Legend has it that people have three oil lamps on their bodies, one on their heads and the other two on their shoulders. These three oil lamps symbolize the yang fire on the human body, and if you suddenly hear someone calling your name when you walk at night, don't look back. Because it's a ghost summoning spirits, and once you turn around and the three sun lights go out, the ghosts can easily summon your souls. ”

"Anything else?" Lin Jing looked around and asked.

Seeing that no one answered, she continued to talk leisurely: "The 'ghost blowing the lamp' I want to talk about is not the mountain ghost blowing the lamp, nor the three oil lamps on the person. ”

"Before I say 'ghost blowing the lamp', I want to talk about what it is. Touching gold is a historical profession, according to legend, during the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao had an army under Cao Cao in order to raise military salaries, specializing in digging the tombs of the princes and nobles of the previous dynasty and even the tombs of the Han Dynasty. ”

"When the captains were working, whenever the tomb was dug up, a candle should be lit in the underground palace of the tomb and placed in the southeast corner. Because legend has it that there are ghosts in some tombs, if the candle is blown out, it means that the ghosts do not agree with the actions of the captains who touch the gold, and the captains must quit and cannot take a single thing. The so-called people light candles and ghosts blow out lamps, which means 'ghosts blow out lamps'. ”

"People light candles, ghosts blow out lamps!" Liang Yinning, who was sitting quietly against Lin Jing, repeated these six words quietly.

Lin Jing smiled and said to Zheng Zhenhong: "Oh, by the way, if you compare our house to a tomb, Zheng Zhenhong, the position where you sit is the southeast corner." If you want to rob the grave and light the lamp, it will be under your ass. ”

Whew――

As soon as Lin Jing's words fell, a cool wind suddenly blew, blowing the hole in the house everywhere.

Zheng Zhenhong, who was attentive and could listen attentively, only felt a chill pass through his neck, and his heart was straight, and when the wind blew, he suddenly stood up and shouted, "Damn, don't scare me." ”

"Haha, I didn't expect Zhenhong to be a big man, and you have such little guts." Ding Zhi pointed at Zheng Zhenhong and smiled, "There are eleven of us, and the yang energy is so abundant that it is like a small sun, even if there is really a ghost, it doesn't dare to get close." ”

Zheng Zhenhong looked at the others, except for the three girls who were unconsciously huddled together, the other boys were squeezing their eyebrows at themselves, a little embarrassed, and glared at them fiercely before sitting down. However, when he sat down, his ass moved to the side without a trace.

Lin Jing looked funny, and said in her heart that this hadn't started yet. Nonsense in the middle of the night is indeed more scary.

"Regarding this 'ghost blowing the lamp', according to legend, this is a contract between the living and the dead handed down by the master of the Golden Ancestor, which has been passed down for thousands of years, and no exception can be made. And the story we are about to hear is that we were born in a place called Savage Gully in Heifengkou, on the border between China and Mongolia. ”

Yes, what Lin Jing wants to talk about is the pioneering work of the tomb robbery theme in later generations - "Ghost Blowing the Lamp".

Many people say that "Ghost Blows Out the Lantern" is not as logical, suspenseful and terrifying as "Notes on Tomb Robbery", Lin Jing thinks that the writing of "Ghost Blows Out the Lamp" is not as good as "Notes on Tomb Robbery", but Lin Jing read the former with relish and chased it until it was written, and the latter just lost it after reading part of it, and couldn't pick it up again.

Therefore, she prefers "Ghost Blows Out the Lamp", and when she wants to tell a ghost story, she chooses "Ghost Blows the Lamp" instead of "Tomb Robbery Notes".

Since she was going to talk about "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", it was impossible to say that she would start from the beginning in this case, so when she searched in her memory, she decided to talk about the two chapters "Black Wind Mouth Savage Ditch" and "Kwantung Army Underground Fortress" in the first "Exquisite Ancient City".

Because these two chapters are about a complete tomb robbery process, there is a bit of a title "ghost blowing the lamp", there are corpses (similar to zombies), there are ghosts, there are fierce beasts, there is history, the content is not long, it is very suitable to say that it is like a book.

The protagonist's surname is Hu, called Hu Bayi, because he read a remnant of a book called "Sixteen Characters Feng Shui Yin and Yang Secret Technique" handed down by his ancestors, he claimed to be the heir of the gold touching faction, and began to learn tomb robbing. He and two companions, a peer nicknamed Fat Man, and a girl named Yingzi, brought three mastiffs and five hunting dogs, and some necessary tomb robbery supplies such as: bird cages, glutinous rice, black donkey hooves, crowbars, shotguns, vinegar, soju, etc., and went into the Savage Gully of the Black Wind Mouth to explore. ”

"Tomb robbing, isn't that digging a grave, but it's an act of damaging yin and losing morality and cutting off children and grandchildren?" Qi Yunhai suddenly said this.

"Shh Everyone was listening interestingly, and they were a little annoyed by Qi Yunhai's question.

Qi Yunhai touched the back of his head in a daze.

Lin Jing didn't care, and continued: "You say, why do they bring so many things? First, because the wild ditch is rampant with birds and beasts, mastiffs and hounds can help defend against it. As for glutinous rice and black donkey hooves, they are related to ghosts and zombies. ”

Because of ancient legends, the savage ditch in Heifengkou was not called the savage ditch before, it was called the "dead man's ditch", and when it was even more ancient, it was not called the dead man's ditch, but the "moon ditch". It is the cemetery of the nobles of the Dajin Kingdom, and later the Mongolian army broke the main force of the Jin soldiers in the Black Wind Pass, the corpses piled up like a mountain, the Mongolians threw the dead into the ditch, and the whole valley was almost filled, so the locals called this "Dead Man's Ditch", and then someone saw the wild man near this valley, passed around, and the name of the Dead Man's Ditch was replaced by the Wild Man Ditch. ”

However, it was said that after Hu Bayi came to Savage Ditch, he carefully looked at the terrain in the valley against the "Sixteen Characters Yin Yang Feng Shui Secret Technique", and took out the compass to identify the direction of the gossip, and finally determined the ancient tomb of a nobleman. Because Hu Bayi was also robbing a tomb for the first time, he had a lot of uncertainties in his heart, so he, the fat man and Yingzi drank the bold soju wine, put on masks and gloves, hung gold talismans around their necks, carried black donkey hooves and glutinous rice in their arms, took a flashlight, and hung a sapper shovel on their waists before they dared to set off to enter the ancient tomb. ”

"After entering the ancient tomb, Hu Bayi lit a candle in the southeast corner according to the rules, and then began to 'sweep' the tomb. When I was 'sweeping' around and was about to push out of the tomb with satisfaction, I found that the candle lit in the corner of the wall was quietly extinguished at some point! ”

"The first time I robbed the tomb, the first time I encountered the legendary 'ghost blowing the lamp', although I haven't seen any ghosts for the time being, but the three of them were shocked into a cold sweat at once. Hu Bayi was nervous, trembling and stiffly relighting the candle, and then saw that the flame should have been red, but it turned green strangely. ”

Speaking of this, Lin Jing paused.

"What's next?" But Liang Yinning, who was hugging his arm and clinging to him, asked cautiously.

Next, they saw the ancient corpse inside the coffin, with a thick layer of red hair growing on the original purple dry skin. Hu Bayi knew that zombies would grow white and black hair, called white and black fierce, and he also heard that there was a legend that there was a poisonous corpse demon with green hair, but he didn't know what it was with red hair. But whatever it is, it means that their situation is in a bad situation. ”

Sure enough, after a few breaths, I saw that the ancient corpse even had red hair on its face, and it was impossible to distinguish its face, and it was like a big red ape. said that it was too late, and as soon as the ancient corpse's arms shook, he jumped out of the coffin, and it was more than two meters away with a jump, and it came silently like the wind, and he jumped in front of Hu Bayi and them in only three or two strokes, stretching out ten steel knife-like claws and pounced over. ”

……

This year is only 1982, and even "Mr. Zombie", the founder of Lin Zhengying's zombie movie trend, has not yet come out, let alone a very curious adventure story like "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", people are full of curiosity about unknown things, and they all have the spirit of "I will go up and down and seek", knowing that it will be terrifying, but the more terrifying it is, the more I have to listen.

Otherwise, there would be no proverb that says: curiosity kills cats!

So although Liang Yinning and the others listened to Lin Jing's "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", their faces were pale and cold sweat flowed, and they didn't dare to spit out in the atmosphere, but they still shrank and kept asking Lin Jing to continue.

When Lin Jing said that Hu Bayi and they had died nine times and finally escaped from the robbery cave, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Done?" Liang Yinning, who was still scared and trembling slightly, asked with a look of unfinished expression.

"This story is finished." Lin Jing replied.

In fact, if you want to talk about stories related to the grave, "Tomb Raider" is undoubtedly more in line with her identity. Because the identity of the protagonist in "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" is an educated youth, it involves that period of history, and there are many descriptions of that period of history, it is very inappropriate to say it with Lin Jing's current identity.

Compared with her, a fifteen-year-old girl, it is even more inappropriate to write "Heroes", "Kunlun", "Those Times That Can't Go Back" and "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty".

But think about substituting Laura's image into "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", Laura has a gold talisman around her neck, a small compass on her left wrist, a "Sixteen Characters Feng Shui Yin and Yang Secret Technique" in one hand, and a Luoyang shovel in the other, Lin Jing is a chill.

So, let's just say "Ghost Blowing the Lamp".
