Volume 2 Southern Xinjiang Itsuka Chapter 70 Bright Light

"Look there!" Xu Yunshu pointed to the side wall of the hall and shouted, "There seems to be a statue!" ”

We walked over to see that it was a stone sculpture, which carved a general on horseback, holding a long sword in his hand, with a hideous and angry expression, as if he was fighting on the battlefield. "Look, there's one over there!" On the other side, there was also a general on horseback, but with a solemn expression and a steel spear in his hand.

In this hall, we can see two stone sculptures today, both standing on horseback, with different weapons, different expressions and lifelike.

"Professor Ma, do you think this is a tomb warrior?" Xu Yunshu asked Ma Xiwen.

"Hmm~~ It should be counted!" Ma Xiwen replied ambiguously, to be honest, he was also a little unsure about this thing. He had seen the tomb beast and the door god, but he had never seen such a life-size horse-riding stone sculpture. The town tomb figurines, as the name suggests, are the figurines used in the tomb to avoid evil, deter ghosts, and protect the dead. "Judging from these stone carvings, their faces are fierce and vicious, and the people who see them are all terrified, which plays a role in preventing tomb robbery, so it should be regarded as a town tomb figurine." Ma Xiwen explained again.

"Professor Ma is right, these stone sculptures are indeed tomb figurines....." At this time, I spoke, "but they are not here to intimidate tomb robbers, but for other purposes." ”

"What's the use?" Jar asked.

"There's another name for it here, it's called Soul Man."

"Soul servant? What kind of soul man? This time it was Professor Ma who asked.

"Soul servants, it's easy to understand, they are people who enslave ghosts!" I explained, "In ancient times, there was a legend that in addition to the Yin Difference, the Netherworld would also select some people with extreme Yin constitution in the human world as agents of the Netherworld in the Yang Realm, and the Soul Servant was one of them. In this world, there are many wandering souls who have not returned to the underworld in time for various reasons, and the yin difference cannot be taken into account, so at this time, it is necessary for the soul servants to find the ghosts who stay in the yang world and escort them back to the underworld for reincarnation. It is said that the birth date and name of these soul servants are all set in the underworld, and only when these two items are satisfied can they be made soul servants...... Here, due to the reason of the Yin Lock Wood and the Soul Lock Array, the ghosts gather, and the Yin Qi does not disperse, and after a long time, these resentful souls will definitely give birth to trouble. Therefore, putting up a few statues and carving the names and birthdays of the legendary soul servants on the statues may be able to deter these souls who have been wandering in this hall for hundreds of years. ”

"Then this is actually a prison, these ghosts are prisoners in the prison, and these servants are the guards here, don't you mean that?" The altar suddenly realized.

"You reacted very quickly this time, and the metaphor is also very vivid!" I praised the altar, "You can look at the weapons in the hands of these statues, and at the end of the handle are engraved with the character 'Yin' in the seal body, which is the symbol of the soul servant. ”

"That's true!" In order to verify my words, Zhang Jiuxi also went to the statue to take a look, "Oh, there is really a name and date of birth engraved on the back...... King...... Age...... Huang...... Ding Younian...... Renzi Yue..... The days and hours that followed were a little blurry......"

"Okay, okay, we don't have much time to stay here, if you want to study it carefully, let's wait for the next time, now we have to move on!" At this time, Park Il-nan urged.

We walked on the bones all over the ground, but there was barely a place to put our feet, and we guessed the bones every time we landed. But there is no way, we can only move forward. So every step I take, I whisper in my heart: "Offended, offended!" "Amitabha!" "Sorry, I stepped on your leg! Don't take it as an example, don't take it as an example! ”

We walked forward step by step, getting closer and closer to the light in front of us, and the white bones under our feet were piling higher and higher. Originally, there was only one layer of bones on the ground, and at most we could not pass the ankle when we stepped on it, but now we can only crawl on top of the skeletons. If you stand up, half of your body will sink into the pile of bones.

"Who said there were only a few hundred bones here, I think there must be at least a few thousand! It's a mound of a thousand corpses! Jar muttered.

At this time, I didn't bother to talk to him, crawling among hundreds of white bones, it was a blessing not to spit out, how could I still be in the mood to speak? Although these people have been dead for hundreds of years, and their clothes and flesh have long been rotten and clean, it still makes people shudder and terrify to come into contact with so many skeletons of bones so closely. Our hands are constantly touching different bones, even if we don't have to look at them with our eyes, but with the touch that comes back from our hands, we can also form a vivid picture in our minds, and we can't hide from it.

After crawling for a while, Xu Yunshu really couldn't stand this feeling, and her stomach turned over for a while, and she vomited it all at once, just on the face of a skeleton. happened to see this scene, so he lost no time in teasing her: "You are really diligent and thrifty!" Even if you spit out, you have to find one to pick up the plate below, so you don't have to waste it! By the way, remember that there is a dish called people and dogs to divide equally, you are an authentic person and ghost equally! ”

"Fuck off!" Xu Yunshu was in a bad mood, and directly scolded with a swear word.

Tan Zi was stunned for a moment and asked me, "Is she scolding me?" ”

"I'm scolding even harder!" I replied to him angrily.

At this point, we stopped. In front of us was a hill made of white bones, and the light came from the top of the mountain of bones.

"Can't get on?" Park Il-nam asked for everyone's opinions.

Ma Xiwen replied: "If you don't go up, you can't do it, the road is behind this bone mountain!" ”

"So what are you waiting for? Above! Park Yifan said.

I don't know how I ended up climbing to the top of Bone Mountain, maybe I was numb. Looking at the other people around me, they all look depressed and loveless. When I saw Xu Yunshu climb up, I really admired her, after all, she was a lesbian. Although I vomited again in the process of climbing, I finally came up on my own will.

When we all climbed the mountain of bones, we finally saw what the shining light source was.

That's a mushroom, a mushroom that glows!

The mushroom was about seven or eight centimeters tall, with a handle as thick as three fingers, a cap the size of a child's palm, and a skull at the top of the Bone Mountain. It emerges from the skeleton's right eye crookedly and glows a faint blue light in the darkness, like a glow-in-the-dark mushroom.
