Volume 2: Nine Turns of the Underworld Chapter 17: Yin Soldiers Borrow the Way
These Yin soldiers walked from the direction we came in, and went to the other side, as if they couldn't see us, but passed by neatly.
I have heard the old man say that the soldiers who died in the ancient wars, after they sacrificed their lives for the country, their souls could not be dissipated, and they still demanded themselves as soldiers to live in the place where they died, because in the ancient wars, the number of deaths was very large, so these people spontaneously appeared at night in the form of an army.
There is also a saying that the Yin soldiers are the soldiers sent by the King of Hades to inspect the world, they are here to open the way for the King of Hades, and the Yin Qi on the bodies of these soldiers will make people sick and even make people die, so once the Yin soldiers are found, people need to lie on the ground and not be discovered by the Yin soldiers before they can escape.
I have always listened to this kind of story as feudal superstition, thinking that it belongs to the image recorded by a special magnetic field, maybe there is some kind of human magnetic field in this ditch, and if certain conditions are met, the magnetic field will be activated and the ancient picture will be played.
But it's not right, there is an unsolved mystery of a special magnetic field photo, but I have never heard of it that can still be sounded, the sound of these Yin soldiers stepping steps, the neighing of war horses, and even the metal sound of armor rubbing are all true.
I don't know how many of these Yin soldiers there are, they have been walking for ten minutes, and they are still advancing, is it endless?
We could only wait slowly with our breath, and we didn't even dare to breathe.
Suddenly, a Yin soldier holding a seal appeared in the crowd, he was wearing armor but looked a little nondescript, this is like the first time you wear a military uniform or a school uniform, you stand in the older generation of peers, outsiders can see at a glance that you are a newcomer, this is because you have not yet run in with the temperament of the dress, and now the Yin soldier holding the seal gives me this feeling.
When the face of the Yin soldier gradually became clear, I was so shocked that I couldn't kick it in one breath, this is another "me".
Yes, the delicate facial features and sturdy physique are like copies of me.
Miss Luo sensed my abnormality and secretly followed my eyes, and was so shocked that she almost screamed.
They also found marijuana not far away, and marijuana was so shocked that he pointed at the Yin soldier, but his mouth was covered by Liu Sanyan's eyes.
At first, the Yin soldier was also numb and mechanically walked forward, but when he came up to me, he turned his head to look at me and smiled strangely.
I'm a little familiar with this smile, as if I've seen it somewhere, but I can't remember it for a while, and I always feel weird and demonic.
", can he see me?" My heart was pounding, and my whole body was cold.
At this time, I also remembered, didn't I see this smile in the hanging coffin of the Chongling Ancient Tomb, I was hallucinating at the time, thinking that it was all my own fantasy, did it really happen?
Suddenly, I felt a burst of heat in my body, especially in my lower abdomen, as if it was on fire, and my heart beat faster than ever before, and I felt like I was about to jump out of my voice.
The body involuntarily got up, and there was a strange strong thought, follow him, it is right to follow him, you must follow him.
It's strange to say, it was difficult to turn over with a serious injury, but at this time, even Miss Luo couldn't pull me.
Luckily, Xiao Mu was on the side, and he pinched the back of my neck hard, and as soon as I stood up, I fell down again.
The Yin soldier turned his head back and numbly followed the group forward, eventually disappearing from our sight.
Finally, all the Yin soldiers passed, and we were paralyzed on the ground panting heavily, and even Xiao Mu was rarely kicking with a big mouth, and it seemed that the depression just now was also very strong for him.
"What now?" Liu Sanyan asked after kicking his anger.
Marijuana said, "Run, wait for the ghost mother to come back and continue to clean us up?" ”
Liu Sanyan said, "Where to run?" Follow the Yin Soldier or go back to find the ghost mother to warm up your feelings? ”
His words really made us speechless for a while, the ghost mother is retreating to the side where we came in, and the Yin soldiers are going forward, and they are looking for death wherever they go.
"There's no way ahead." Kogi said.
Liu Sanyan said: "No way? So where did those Yin soldiers go? ”
"Go back to the Netherworld, do you want to follow? It's so close, maybe the tolls are saved. Marijuana quipped.
Liu Sanyan scolded you.
Miss Luo analyzed: "Judging from the ghost mother's fear of the Yin soldiers, she shouldn't return here in a short time, but this is the corpse butterfly's lair, and she will come back sooner or later, let's find out if there is any other way out." ”
We have no other way but to do it first.
Marijuana and Liu Sanyan set me up, they put me on the altar first, and the original plan was to leave one person to take care of me while the others find a way.
But when we got back to the altar, something strange happened again.
Not long ago, I just jumped into the pottery bowl like crazy and tossed most of the water in the bowl, but now the water in the pottery bowl is full again.
Where does this water come from?
Everyone was stunned, with this short period of time to fill a basin of water, the amount of water must be not small, if the above dripping is impossible not to see.
That means water is coming out from underneath?
"Don't worry about it yet, even if there is a well connected below, we don't have the equipment to swim out." Liu Sanyan said: "It's better to hurry up and find another way out." ”
Xiao Mu is obviously impossible to take care of me, I don't have enough experience in marijuana inversion, and there are many strange events here, and it's not suitable, so it can only be Liu Sanyan or Miss Luo.
Liu Sanyan directly refused this task, and bluntly said that even if he went to find the ghost mother, he didn't want to take care of me, which made me so angry that I almost died.
In the end, the task of taking care of me fell on Miss Luo, and she readily agreed.
After the three of them left, Miss Luo removed the windproof face towel, poured some water from the pottery bowl and washed it, and then carefully wiped my face and hands.
At this time, the corpse butterfly has receded, and the feces wrapped in the body have no effect, and the woman's nature/love is clean, and Miss Luo can't stand this smell anymore.
"Why is it so hot?" Miss Luo frowned, put her hand on my forehead and took my temperature.
I said, "I don't know what happened just now, but suddenly my body became hot, and my stomach felt like it was about to catch fire." ”
After hearing this, Miss Luo lifted my clothes, her face became solemn, and she said, "Why have you grown up again?" ”
She was talking about the flame pattern on my lower abdomen, and I struggled to look down, and sure enough, the flame pattern was even more colorful, almost covering my lower belly.
Could it be that the dead air has intensified? Is it one step closer to death?
I remember that when Xiaomu first activated the pattern, it was only the size of a cup, and it didn't change much when Miss Luo scalded me with boiling water, and when I found the entrance to the ancient tomb, it was already the size of a bowl.
Now it's bigger than a slap.
Miss Luo wet a silk scarf and applied it to my lower abdomen, and a cool feeling quickly spread throughout my body, such as pouring a sip of cold Coke when it was very hot, and soon my body temperature dropped.
After repeating this a few times, I felt a little sleepy, and now it is estimated that it is two or three o'clock in the morning, so I simply take a nap.
In a daze, I felt that Miss Luo had taken my temperature several times, maybe she felt much better, and walked to the side to wash it herself.
I didn't know how long I slept in a daze, but I heard Liu Sanyan shouting over there, let's go over and have a look.
I squinted for a while, and my spirit was much better, and I could stand up when I staggered, but I was still weak.
Miss Luo carried me to that side, and slowly walked to Liu Sanyan's side, and saw a vertical coffin in front of me, which was made of bronze, all covered with green patina, and I knew that it was very old at a glance.
This is an empty coffin, or it was buried before, and it was opened by the previous group of people, and the lid of the coffin was still thrown aside.
Just why is this coffin erected? Looking at the bottom is embedded in the rock, cast with copper juice, it will not be the previous group of people who did it.
That is to say, this bronze coffin was originally designed in this way, and I have never heard of a vertical coffin.
I thought back to my grandfather's notebooks, but I never mentioned the coffin.
Judging from Miss Luo's confused expression, it was obvious that she hadn't seen it either.
"This is the gateway of yin and yang, and according to legend, different people standing in it will see the past life and the next life." Xiao Mu said lightly.
Liu San glared and said, "Pull the calf, there is still such a thing?" The third master wants to try it. ”
At a glance, you can see that there is nothing inside, but it is slightly larger than ordinary coffins, with a height of two meters and a width of about one meter and two.
After Liu Sanyan finished speaking, he stepped directly into the bronze coffin, I didn't believe it when I heard Xiaomu's words, it was too mysterious, there were ghosts in the world that had subverted my outlook on life, and if there really were, it would be too Buddhist.
But strange things always keep coming, and we watched Liu San's eyes disappear in front of our eyes.
Yes, as soon as he stepped into the bronze coffin, he disappeared, and we saw that it was as empty as before.
I rubbed my eyes vigorously and slapped myself several times, thinking that I was dreaming when I was squinting.
But the pain told me it wasn't a dream, it was real.
The marijuana went around the back of the bronze coffin, thinking that some mechanism quickly turned Liu Sanyan to the back, but it was still empty.
"Don't worry, he'll be out in a moment." Kogi said.
This reminds me of the stone bridge before, and I also saw them at the head of the bridge, and when I crossed the stone bridge, they suddenly disappeared, it was too similar.
After waiting for about three minutes, Liu Sanyan walked out incomprehensibly, smirking and terrifying, as if he was mentally ill.
Marijuana stepped forward and slapped him twice, finally waking Liu Sanyan awake.
"Holy, why are you here? Aren't you out? Liu Sanyan jumped back and looked at us in horror.
Marijuana shouted: "What are you dreaming, look at your lewd/expression, what do you see?" ”
"Why should I tell you, you won't see it for yourself." Liu Sanyan was on the same page as marijuana.
"Just look, what's so great." Hemp straightened his clothes and wanted to go to the bronze coffin.
Miss Luo, who was holding me, suddenly stopped: "Wait, you can't enter." ”
"What?"
We all looked at her suspiciously, although Liu Sanyan's eyes suddenly disappeared before, which made us feel frightened, but he also came out unharmed, in the face of this magical thing, many people will be curious and want to try it.
Miss Luo said: "I heard my grandfather say that the yin and yang portal is the separation of yin and yang, and there is a high chance that you will never be able to get out again, and those who have entered will have more or less sequelae." ”
"Damn, then you didn't say it earlier!" Liu Sanyan was startled and scolded loudly.
Miss Luo glanced at him and said, "You went in too fast, and I didn't think about it for a while." ”
Then she looked at Xiao Mu again and said: "The Yin and Yang Portal is also called the Third World Bronze Coffin, you can see the past life and the next life, plus you are just the third life now, it is rumored that people who have entered the Yin and Yang Portal will have intermittent amnesia, and the longer you stay, the more chaotic your memory will be, and if you can't bear the miscellaneous memory, the more serious the amnesia will be, have you ever been there?" ”
Xiao Mu shook his head and said, "I don't know, but I should have been here." ”
Liu Sanyan said with a sad face: "It's over, it's over, the third master doesn't want to lose his memory." Marijuana, you come here. ”
Marijuana asked vigilantly, "What for?" ”
Liu Sanyan tilted his head and thought for a while, and then said: "You can't, I can't trust you, Zhang Yuan, Zhang Ye, I trust you the most here, you must help me." ”
"What can I help you?" I looked at him quizzically.
"I'll put my bank card at my house to tell you, as well as my home address, and bank card password, if I go out and have amnesia, remember to take me back, don't let me be a homeless, I still have a lot of money to spend." Liu Sanyan begged.
I swallowed and asked, "How much money?" ”
Liu Sanyan stepped back vigilantly and said, "Damn, why does your expression make me so uneasy?" Taking advantage of people's danger and taking advantage of the fire to rob is not a gentleman's doing. ”
"Don't make a fuss, you've been in for less than three minutes, it's not that serious, and you'll forget about a few days at most." Miss Luo said.
Liu Sanyan was finally relieved after hearing this, and patted his chest in fear.
"What the hell do you see?" I asked Liu Sanyan curiously.
Liu Sanyan thought for a while and said: "I really see my past, my predecessor was a singer, but he died young, and he was beaten to death before he married his wife." ”
Marijuana said: "Then you have to be glad that you lived a short life in your previous life, if you live to be one hundred and eighty years old, then you will have a lot of memories, maybe you really have amnesia." ”
"Aren't you curious about what you did in your previous life?" Liu Sanyan tempted marijuana.
This kind of thing is fatal to anyone, but the thought of side effects makes us hesitate again.
I wanted to get in, but in the end reason prevailed over curiosity, but I wondered why this bronze coffin would disappear when it entered, and what would happen if I threw something into it?
I picked up a rock, just the right size, and threw it in.
The stone was as it had been guessed, and it disappeared as soon as it was entered, like magic, full of psychedelics.
"Yuanwa, this is too evil, let's leave early." Marijuana persuaded me.
I said, "It's okay, if we don't go in, this bronze coffin won't suck us in." ”
After speaking, he cautiously stepped forward with a shovel and slowly leaned towards the copper coffin. The tip of the shovel disappeared, and when it was retracted, the part that disappeared appeared, which was consistent with my guess.
I said, "After experiencing the stone bridge and the pottery bowl, I had a guess, but it was too unreasonable, so I didn't dare to be sure." ”
"What speculation?" They stared at me quizzically.
I had some difficulty expressing it, so I drew a straight line on the ground with a shovel and said, "We all know that distance is directly proportional to time, that is, the longer the distance, the longer the time consumed from the starting point to the end point." ”
"The fastest speed known to mankind is the speed of light, that is, the speed at which our eyes see objects, for example, the sun we see, in fact, the sun we see is the sun 8 minutes ago, theoretically speaking, anything we see is not the present, but the past."
I tried to be as plain as I could, but I felt that it was mysterious. But Miss Luo immediately understood what I meant.
"You're saying that this bronze coffin has the effect of slowing the speed of light, or even preventing it?"
I nodded and said, "It should be the same with the stone bridge, I saw you at the head of the bridge at first, and when I got up the stone bridge and chased after you, you were gone, in fact, I really saw you, but you were before." Later, I saw the 'person' who looked like me again, and it was also the same person I used to be. ”
"Everyone knows that copper is extracted from ore, so this copper coffin should be made of the same material as the stone bridge, but the copper coffin is made by refining and beating, and the effect is stronger."
Liu Sanyan thought about it for a long time, and finally accepted my guess, scratched his head and said: "This is not right, it was only a few minutes after you saw yourself at the stone bridge, but when you arrived at the altar, your projection appeared again in the pottery bowl, and it was an hour or two later." The timing is not right. ”
Marijuana said, "Could it be the guy we're seeing in the Underworld?" ”
It's really possible, that guy looks too much like me, if he followed behind, he hid after seeing the ghost mother, and then the Yin soldier appeared and took the opportunity to blend in, so the time would be right.
"It's not him." Miss Luo said affirmatively: "That person is holding the Yang family's 'Tianguan Seal', and the 'Tianguan Seal' is in my grandfather's, if my grandfather can give him the Tianguan Seal, it means that he must be a trusted person." ”
I heard my grandfather say that my grandfather had handed over my Yang family's Tianguan Seal to the Luo family before he went into hiding, and said that if someone came to me with the Tianguan Seal one day, my grandfather needed unconditional help.
It's just that this is a bit illogical, this Tianguan Seal must be very important to the Yang family, and my grandfather will hand over the Tianguan Seal to the Luo family, either because he is forced to be helpless, or he is very trusting.
I heard my grandfather say that at that time, my grandfather was helping a general in the Republic of China, and he could guarantee the expenses of the army during the war years, which must be very important, and it is unlikely that he will be persecuted, that is, he trusts the Luo family.
But in order to find my Yang family again, why did the Luo family make such a big detour to force my grandfather out of the mountain? Wouldn't it be okay to just take out the seal of the heavenly official?
But the Luo family didn't do this, so it was an accident.
Maybe the seal of the heavenly official was lost, maybe it was persecuted.
And Luo Jin also told me that Luo Zhenghua asked us to come here under the guise of paralyzing the people behind the scenes and buying time for him, that is to say, it is very likely that the Luo family will be persecuted, and Miss Luo has been reluctant to explain it clearly several times, only saying that she will understand her intentions in the future.
And just now she also said that the Tianguan seal was in her grandfather's, which means that she also knows about the Tianguan seal, and the Luo family would rather go around in circles than take out the Tianguan seal, which means that the person behind the scenes does not know the agreement between my grandfather and the Luo family.
So, what exactly is the purpose of the Heavenly Official Seal?
