Qian Xiu and Rufei immediately rejected Wang Dabao's proposal, is it really a joke to go to the tomb? Protecting Director Huang and An Ruyi, the two of them already feel a lot of pressure, let alone bring another person.

At ten o'clock in the morning of the next day, five people gathered at the entrance of the ancient tomb in the villa. Director Huang was excited and expectant, and couldn't wait to enter the ancient tomb first. It was only in the earnest admonition of humility that the intellectual obeyed the arrangement. The formation of the five people entering the ancient tomb is in order, Qian Xiu opened the way, Wang Dabao was the second, Huang Chang was in the center, and then An Ruyi and Liu Rufei were broken.

There was not much time, and the people with their equipment came to the tomb gate. Director Huang looked at the Nine Palaces Diagram Secret Lock, and admired the wisdom of his predecessors in his heart! When Qian Xiu saw that the magic circle was intact, he immediately led everyone into the tomb.

In the tomb passage, scattered sharp arrows and crossbows are still scattered on the ground. For the sake of insurance, the humble cultivation is passed alone. Seeing that there was no emergency, everyone followed his footsteps and passed quickly.

After a while, everyone came to the secret door. Qian Xiu stomped the ground vigorously, but the secret door did not move. After tossing for a while, seeing that the secret door really couldn't be opened, Rufei said: "Qian Xiu, it must be that the owner of the tomb found out that we broke in yesterday and took the initiative to destroy the mechanism of the secret door. ”

"It should be like this, so what should we do?" Qian Xiu actually missed Boss Jin a little at this time. With his rich experience in tomb robbing, even if he walked the passage on the right, everyone had a little bottom in their hearts.

Wang Dabao instigated: "If there is no Butcher Zhang, we have to eat hairy pigs! ”

Director Huang thought for a while and said, "According to Qian Xiu and Rufei's description, there should be no traps like flying crossbow traps in the right passage. Because those ghost corpses such as palace maids and eunuchs also have to walk back and forth every day. ”

Qian Xiu thought about it for a while, and felt that Director Huang was reasonable, so he led everyone to turn back and enter the passage on the right. But his heart was like fifteen buckets of water (seven up and eight down).

Unknown danger is the real danger!

The passage on the right side is obviously narrower than the main tomb road, and Director Huang is more knowledgeable and says that this is called Yongdao. In general, as long as the corridor appears, the main burial chamber will not be too far away, because the corridor plays the role of connecting the tomb passage and the burial chamber. But in this Xianfeng tomb, the specific situation is unknown.

In the narrow corridor, there is no permanent lamp illumination. Every short distance from the dome of the corridor, a glowing object emits a dim glow. The faint luminous object stretched the figures of several people, and the entire corridor was like a ghost, adding a bit of weird and terrifying atmosphere.

Everyone also marched towards the depths of the road. Prudent humility requires everyone to keep a certain distance from him. After traveling a few hundred meters, not far in front of the road, there seemed to be two ear chambers, which suddenly appeared in his sight. Ahead, there was a thick wall, blocking everyone's way.

Qian Xiu conveyed the news of the ear chamber to the people in the rear, and Director Huang immediately shook his head and said, "This tomb is really incredible! I haven't seen the main chamber yet, but there is an ear chamber. It really can't be inferred from common sense. ”

Wang Dabao didn't know why, and immediately asked, "Director Huang, what is the purpose of the ear chamber?"

"The transept, the rooms on the left and right sides of the main chamber in the tomb. It is generally used to place, the tomb owner's favorite supplies and burial goods during his lifetime. Director Huang explained.

When Wang Dabao heard the effect of the ear chamber, his eyes immediately lit up, and he ran to Qianxiu happily. With the dream of making a fortune, he impatiently broke into the right ear chamber. Seeing him so reckless, Qian Xiu immediately shouted, "Dabao, be careful of danger! ”

Wang Dabao, who was standing at the door of the ear room, seemed to be deaf and motionless. In desperation, Qian Xiu had no choice but to step forward and stand with Dabao and look into the ear chamber. The two of them were immediately stunned by the scene in front of them!

In the dim light, hundreds of living people stood in the ear chamber. The two of them dared to get closer and take a closer look, and those living people were actually rows and rows, with different expressions of red and green, standing against the wall.

Dabao hurriedly turned to the left ear chamber, and the left ear chamber was in a similar situation. The only difference is that those paper figures are actually Qing soldiers. All Qing Dynasty military uniforms are added, and they are still holding paper-paste weapons in their hands.

"It's unlucky! If you don't have a baby, why do you still make these things to scare people?" Wang Dabao said disappointedly.

Paper people, also known as paper people. In fact, it is a scenery of Chinese funeral culture, and it is a kind of inheritance from ancient times to the present. In the domestic funeral culture, paper people generally appear together with paper cows, paper horses or paper sedan chairs, which are an important part of funeral culture.

In the folk, there are also a lot of exquisiteness about paper people. Paper cows are used for women to die, and paper horses are used for men to die. In terms of color, the boy must use red, and the virgin must be green, which is called red man and green woman......

And when the craftsmen were pasting paper, they always followed a very strange rule. That is, when the paper figure is pasted, you must not draw the eyes. It is necessary to wait until they are burned, where the eye is pierced with a needle. It is said that the paper bundles made by high-level craftsmen are spiritual. Paper horses can travel thousands of miles at night, paper sedan chairs can attract souls, and boys and girls can guide the way in the underworld......

Wang Dabao shouted "bad luck" and walked back to everyone, Director Huang asked about the situation, and became curious, so he went to check. After seeing so many paper figures, Director Huang used his expertise to tell the people around him about the origin of the paper figures.

Speaking of making sacrifices with paper, it is an extremely old tradition, which can even be traced back to slave societies. In that era when there was no human civilization, some slaves were often killed alive for sacrifice after the death of their masters. Later, human civilization gradually emerged. In order to avoid this cruel human sacrifice, thatched people were used instead of living people.

This kind of thatched man is actually the predecessor of the paper man, which was called "Shuling" at that time. It is recorded in a book that "the spirit of the sword, since ancient times, the thatch is a human horse, called the spirit!" It was not until later that due to the appearance of paper, because paper was easier to make and more vivid, it gradually replaced the thatched man. This tradition continues to this day.

After hearing this, Wang Dabao slapped his head sharply, and suddenly said: "No wonder I heard that after Cixi's death, he made a large number of paper armies, and it turned out that he learned it from his husband." ”

After he finished speaking, he shook his head and walked towards the spirits, carefully looking at the paper figures in front of him. The paper figure facing him was obviously a skeleton made of straw, about 1 meter tall. The facial features on his face are exquisite, and he seems to be smiling at Dabao.

"I'm going to make you laugh..."Dabao suddenly kicked at the paper man......

Everyone laughed when they heard this, and An Ruyi asked, "Director Huang, what do you say is the effect of such a large number of souls?"

Director Huang thought about it for a while and said: "After ordinary people die, they usually order a pair of boys and girls. The boys and girls were the "deacons" of the deceased in the yang world, and they were usually burned before the deceased was buried. When the spirits of the deceased reach the underworld, they begin to serve the deceased in the underworld. Some of them even have their names written on them, such as hearing and speaking, and using them in China.

Hey, it's actually the good wishes of the living to the dead. As for these soul troops, it must be that Emperor Xianfeng wants to continue to be the emperor in the underworld......"

Everyone was discussing the spirit with great interest, but there was a faint sense of foreboding in Qian Xiu's heart. "Emperor Xianfeng is now the emperor of a group of ghost corpses, why bother to make so many spirits here?"

Just when Qian Xiu's mind moved, Rufei suddenly shouted: "Hurry back to Yongdao, the spirit seems to be resurrected!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and Qian Xiu immediately looked at those spirits. I saw that the rows and rows of paper figures in the ear room on the right all opened their eyes and glared angrily at everyone with grinned teeth. The faces of the spirits were pale, the faces of the men were hideous, and the women's lips were red, as if they had just drunk human blood, and they were as terrifying!

Rufei and Qianxiu are Heavenly Masters after all, and when they saw such a strange thing, they were stunned for a moment and then regained their composure. Presumably, these Lingtian have been absorbing the aura of the ghouls here for a long time, and have opened their spiritual wisdom. This will happen when five people form a group and enter the Yang Qi sufficiently, stimulating them.

Qian Xiu was about to attack with the dragon sword in his hand, but suddenly he thought of something even more terrifying. Since the spirits in this ear chamber can be resurrected, the army of the souls in the opposite ear chamber may be an even more terrifying existence. It is no secret that the military is certainly more offensive than ordinary people.

Thinking of this, he immediately shouted: "If you fly, be careful." I'll go and have a look at the other side. ”

Qian Xiu, who hurriedly swept to the Yongdao ear chamber in three steps and two steps, immediately encountered a pair of paper man armies and rushed out of the ear chamber. Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately fought with the resurrected army of the spirits.

In an instant, the sound of killing in the narrow corridor shook the sky. A large army of souls swarmed out of the left ear chamber. The spirits were holding long grass swords, and Huo Huo Shenghui rushed towards Qian Xiu.

Holding the dragon sword, Qian Xiu rushed left and right in the resurrected army of the spirits, unstoppable like a tiger entering a flock. The paper man who was killed turned into a cloud of yin qi and scattered in all directions. After a while, the yin aura in the corridor was permeated, but the spirit still fought as if he was not afraid of death.

Director Huang, An Ruyi and Wang Dabao, who were watching the battle from a distance, were shocked when they saw this strange scene. Occasionally, one or two spirits attacked the three of them, but they were all easily solved by Wang Dabao.

To say that the combat power of a single soul is average, but the trouble is that there are too many of them. After a while, Qian Xiu was exhausted and out of breath.

"Can't go on like this! We have to come up with a solution to them as soon as possible?"

As his physical strength decreased, he felt that his speed was not as good as before. Looking at the large number of spirits pouring out of the left ear chamber, a method of waiting for work came to his mind.
