Chapter 632: Strange Tales of Humans, Ghosts and Demons (Text)
This time the firelight was close, and Zhang Meng really found something.
It seems that the blurred pattern on the ground is a face wearing armor, if you look at it according to the current aesthetics, the harder lines at the edge should be an armor, Zhang Meng took the torch to the other direction and looked carefully, but found that it was not so similar.
Zhang Meng only felt that the surroundings were a little dim, and he moved the torch a little irritably.
Suddenly, Zhang Meng felt that something was wrong.
Why do I feel dim?
I don't know when, a huge shadow hung over him.
The shadow stretched out and enveloped his entire form.
"Who!"
Zhang Meng shuddered violently, he didn't even notice that a shadow quietly touched him.
He turned around, his torch pointed in front of him, his body tensed tight, and he didn't dare to relax at all.
The front was empty, Zhang Meng raised his head and looked up, but he didn't see anything at all, except for the collapsed 'earth mountain', the rest were bare stone walls, not to mention people, not to mention ghosts.
Zhang Meng felt that he should find something to convince him that the shadow in front of him was its projection.
However, what happened in the next moment made Zhang Meng's whole person soak in ice water!
The shadow that covered him, as if sensing his inquiry, actually stirred slightly.
Then he made a movement, it untied the helmet on his head, and then Zhang Meng could see from the side of his face that the muscles in the cheekbone position of the person's face twitched slightly.
Zhang Meng seemed to see it, and a person in front of him pouted at him and sneered.
It was a completely indescribable feeling, Zhang Meng only felt that he was going to collapse, what was going on?
No one could have imagined that in an empty stone room, there was a figure of a person, still a figure wearing armor and a helmet.
What kind of weird feeling is this? Zhang Meng only felt that he had forgotten to breathe, and the shadow lowered his head, as if looking at him, and then suddenly disappeared.
Zhang Meng was in a trance, as if the qiē in front of him was an illusion, he sat on the ground in a daze, this time Zhang Meng was really scared.
When the shadow leaned down just now, Zhang Meng only felt a lot of goosebumps floating on his neck, as if he also felt the gaze in the dark.
That's definitely one person!
Zhang Meng thought with some horror, because of a very simple truth.
People have shadows, but ghosts have no shadows.
There is a story in the "Book of Ghosts" that there is a scholar whose family is poor and cannot afford to rent a house in the city, so he went to the nearest mountain and set up a small tent, and read by the moonlight at night. One day after twelve o'clock came an old man from the top of the mountain asking for directions, and the scholar only thought it strange, but he was not afraid, and it happened that he knew the place where the old man was asking, so he took the old man there.
The old man smiled and asked the scholar: Why aren't you afraid that he is a wronged ghost who harms people?
This scholar said: There is a fox shadow behind you, and you are not a ghost, so you are not afraid.
It turned out that the old man was transformed by a fox, and if anyone entered the mountain, he would have to test it, and if it was a bad heart, anyone who wanted to hunt foxes would be killed by him one by one.
In the end, the fox fairy became friends with the scholar, and gave him a piece of silver cake when the scholar was at the height of poverty, helping him get through the difficulties, and finally passed the examination.
At this moment, Zhang Meng seems to be experiencing the same situation as this scholar, but in front of him is not the fox who has transformed into a human, but a person who can't see.
Or this person has been alive for a long time, and this ancient samurai shape adds a bit of a ghostly feeling to him.
Zhang Meng suddenly hit a spirit, he suddenly walked over and looked at the simple pattern on the ground.
It seems to be the same person between the two!
Zhang Meng faintly felt that this 'shadow' was definitely related to the situation of those villagers, but he couldn't catch a single point.
Projection? Or transparent people? Or is it something else?
If it is a projection, then it can only be an image, and it is impossible to pull out such a long shadow, and it is sealed all around here, so there is no chance of projection at all.
Transparent person, this explanation seems to be acceptable, remembering that there is a person who may be staring at him behind his back, Zhang Meng couldn't help but shudder again, and his feeling of looking at the entire stone room suddenly changed with the change of psychology, and it seemed that this place had become extremely gloomy.
Zhang Meng took a few deep breaths, he stood up and looked at the shadow under his feet, and then silently compared.
The shadow beside him was completely affected by the torch next to him, but a relatively short shadow formed under his feet.
No, how could there be such a big phantom in that case?
Zhang Meng felt that something was wrong, he put the torch back in place, and then walked through every position here, he wanted to deduce where the shadow just now was standing before it was revealed.
If the qiē just now was just some small means for the owner of the tomb to control the shadow and let the shadow be revealed, then he should not be able to find the location of the shadow projection here.
After all, there are many things in the 5,000-year-long history of Chinese culture that cannot be explained by common sense.
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, someone paid tribute to Emperor Chongzhen a teacup, which was exactly the same as an ordinary teacup, or even much more crude.
At that time, Chongzhen had been looking forward to what Lu Weiqi was talking about, and when he saw this teacup, he was furious, and cut off all the dart masters who transported the teacup, and repaired a book to reprimand Lu Weiqi angrily, depriving him of a year's salary.
Then he put this teacup in the warehouse at random, and when Li Zicheng broke the door, he got all the treasures of the Ming Dynasty, including this teateacup.
At first, Li Zicheng didn't care about this rough teacup, but when he was drinking tea with this teacup once, he suddenly heard a loud 'cooing' sound.
He was startled, and immediately went out of the room to take a closer look, and the roof of his room was already full of snow-white pigeons.
At that time, this was also written into the history books as a miracle by him, and he also named this teacup: Summoning Pigeon Pot. And when he drinks tea, the teapot often attracts a large number of pigeons around it. In the warehouse where the cups were stacked at random, when Li Zicheng broke the door, he got all the treasures of the Ming Dynasty, including this teacup.
