After the reorganization, we moved on.

If it weren't for the fact that the ground was covered with corpse droppings, the road below would be relatively flat, and there would be a pair of statues in two rows every seven or eight meters.

Although these statues are different and should be carved 1:1, the carving technique is the same as that on the strange stone bridge, and Liu Sanyan and they also found it, and they couldn't help but stop.

In front of him was carved a large ghost howl, with a mouth wide open and a pained expression.

"This is an eighty-one ghost pawn, the ancestors called this 'Nine Turns of the Underworld', could it be that he has really arrived in the Underworld?" Liu Sanyan sighed after examination.

Marijuana, like me, doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, and after hearing it, I muttered: "What is this, is there really an underworld?" Then we will die, and we will not even have to run away, and we will be able to see Lord Yama directly. ”

Liu Sanyan said happily: "You don't understand this, Chinese culture has a long history, the underworld is controlled by the Tianqi Rensheng Emperor, and he also has the five ghost emperors under him, respectively, the east, west, north, south, and middle, and the five ghost emperors are the turn of the ten halls of the Yama king, and the eighty-one ghost pawns are not the ten halls of the Yama king can be driven, only the level of the five ghost emperors." ”

Marijuana said, "Then you mean that we will die and see a greater official than the king of Yama?" Thinking about it this way, I kind of look forward to dying. ”

I heard the story about the underworld when I was a child, and this place was named "Nine Turns of the Underworld", could it be taken from the name of the underworld?

If this is the case, this place belongs to the north, that is the Luo Yu Mountain governed by the Northern Ghost Emperor, and the Northern Ghost Emperor seems to be called Zhang Heng and Yang Yun, and these two people happen to be characters in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

I chuckled in my heart, the north, the Han tomb, the underworld......

Was it a coincidence, or did the last batch of people discover something?

The statues are erected on a stone pillar, some of which have only the upper body carved, and some of which have a full picture, including a large man with a bare chest and bare arms, a scrawny old woman, and a handsome boy......

There are many kinds of life, whether it is finished or unfinished, they are all extremely vivid. In ancient times, there was no laser technology, and the hand-carved sculpture was so lifelike, definitely from the hands of the masters, and it gave the vision that these statues contained charm, unlike modern carvings that were rigid and lifeless.

The pillars underneath each statue are carved with ancient scripts, or runes, because none of us know them.

"I don't know if you've ever heard of 'Ghost Mother Text'?" Liu San looked at those fonts with a somewhat solemn expression.

I was at a loss, and Marijuana and Miss Luo were also confused, obviously I had never heard of this font.

Liu Sanyan said: "You know the story of Qin Shi Huang's unification of Chinese characters, before the unification of Chinese characters, there were not one hundred and eighty kinds of Chinese fonts, but also two, three, forty or fifty kinds, and the specific situation could not be counted, and many tribes had their own fonts, such as the bird seal of the Chongling Tomb. ”

"And the 'Ghost Mother Text' can be traced back to at least the Western Zhou Dynasty, or even earlier. I also saw it on a broken bronze of a friend, and it was written like this. ”

Liu Sanyan may not be very good at it, but he is very accomplished in the identification of cultural relics, and when he was in the Chongling Ancient Tomb, Professor Wu looked at him differently.

"And what's written on it?" I asked curiously.

Liu Sanyan said: "I have only seen this font, but I don't know the characters. ”

It makes sense that the ancient characters are indeed too difficult to recognize, like the oracle bone inscriptions found today, no one can recognize them all.

Unconsciously walked forward a hundred meters, and the eighty-one ghost pawns were almost finished, the last row was a lame statue with a double human face, the two rare ones were exactly the same, but when you looked closely, you could find that the two were carved in reverse.

It's like a person standing next to a mirror and looking at a printed picture, and we can't understand what the person who carved it thinks, and we really don't understand it.

In front of it is a small altar-like object, made of bluestone, with a large bowl in the center.

Yes, it's a bowl, the whole is earthy yellow, the size of a bathtub.

When we went up to the altar and saw that the bowl was filled with water, it was a strange thing, and we didn't see any water dripping from above, where did this water come from?

Liu Sanyan gently knocked on the big bowl, circled around a few times, and finally said: "This is a pottery clay sculpture in Beitangshan, this kind of pottery ginseng mixed with beef bone meal can be preserved for a long time, but it is not very strong." ”

"Is it worth the money?" Marijuana asked urgently.

Liu Sanyan couldn't figure it out, shook his head and said: "It's hard to say, if you can get it back completely, it's still quite valuable, after all, this bowl is perfect, and it is still very attractive to people who like to collect pottery, but it is difficult to transport it out, and it is not worth much if it is broken." ”

It's really hard to get such a large piece out, one or two people may not be able to lift it, and it's not something we can do if you move it.

Miss Luo, who was hooded, saw that there was water in the bowl, took a silver pendant from her neck and put it in, picked it up after a while and looked at it, and after testing that the water was not poisonous, she wanted to wash her hands with water bottled water.

After walking so far, there is no corpse butterfly feces on the ground for dozens of meters, which means that those corpse butterflies are not exposed to the west here, maybe the corpse butterflies regard this as their water source, and usually do not pollute the water source here.

Just as Miss Luo was about to fill the water, she suddenly patted me, pointed to the bowl and said, "Look at it." ”

I was stunned for a moment, only to see a point of light reflected in the water, and a figure holding a point of light was moving slowly, and when I used a flashlight, there was nothing.

My first reaction was a reflection, and I quickly looked up to find it, and it must have been a reflection of something hanging on it into the bowl.

But there was an empty space on the head, and the flashlight couldn't shine on the roof, and I couldn't see anything hanging above.

It's weird, it's too far from the water to be projected, but the shadow just now can't be us.

When I removed the flashlight from the bowl, the point of light reappeared, and as the light faded, the reflection in the bowl became clearer.

"Turn off the flashlights." Liu Sanyan said.

In an instant, it was pitch black, but the reflection was as clear as a mirror.

The more I looked at my face, the more frightened I became, and my whole body trembled, Miss Luo and the others were equally frightened, and even Liu Sanyan pulled out the gun.

Because the reflection is me!

That's right, it's an exact "me"!

"Who the hell are you?" Liu Sanyan pointed a gun at me, and his voice trembled a little.

This question puzzled me, who am I?

If I were Zhang Yuan, who was the person in the bowl? And who was the man I saw on the stone bridge before?

Miss Luo pressed down Liu Sanyan's pistol, pointed at the pottery bowl and said, "Don't you think the environment is very familiar?" ”

Sure enough, what came out of the reflection was the stone bridge we had all walked on, which seemed to be called the Nai He Bridge.

At this time, the "I" stood at the head of the bridge and looked at the stone bridge, and then showed a surprised expression, turned off the flashlight and walked lightly to the stone bridge.

Then, when I was about to reach the other end of the bridge, "I" suddenly accelerated and rushed out, and after rushing out, I was gone.

After a while, the "I" returned to the stone bridge, looking back in horror and fear, up and down several times, as if to verify something.

Every time I leave the stone bridge, the picture disappears, and when I return to the bridge, it reappears again.

Hell, isn't this the same move I did before? If this is a reflection, Lao Tzu is here, where does the projection come from?

Could it be that this broken bowl is actually some kind of black technology, which can be played back like a movie?

After the whole process was played, the pottery bowl returned to calm, but the atmosphere at this time was extremely weird.

Before they knew it, they ran across from me, and there was a bowl in between, and I was speechless, trying to argue but not knowing how to speak.

I remember reading a bizarre news, how to prove that your dad is your dad?

At the time, it was a joke, but now it's even stranger that I want to prove that I am me.

But instead of feeling ridiculous, I broke out in a cold sweat.

I don't know how to prove it, after leaving the tomb, I first saw Liu Sanyan and them at the bridgehead, then I saw another "me" appear at the bridgehead, and now I see the "me" projected on the stone bridge again after nearly two hours.

Plus the current me, there are three "I", which one will be the real me? Who the hell am I?

I'm about to be tortured and crazy, is this tomb owner missing a few eyes? Are you on a par with me, or do you think I'm a bully, you're playing, intimidating, and touching porcelain! You have the ability to jump out of the coffin and fight with Lao Tzu!

A breath of air blocked my heart, and I grabbed the pottery bowl and wanted to lift it off, but I underestimated the weight of the pottery bowl, and I couldn't shake it at all.

"Ahh Angry and angry, he lost his mind, raised the shovel and smashed it, smashed it a few times, and his hands were numb from the shock, but the pottery bowl was not broken.

"Didn't you say this broken bowl isn't strong? Isn't that sturdy? Isn't that sturdy? "I yelled at Liu Sanyan, smashing as I screamed, all the Martian flowers were smashed, the shovels were notched, and there was not even a mark left on the pottery bowl.

Miss Luo and the others looked at the person who suddenly went crazy in a daze, and they forgot to stop me for a while.

I couldn't lift it, I couldn't break it, I jumped into the bowl with the edge of the bowl, the water was almost up to my knees, I took off my coat and splashed water outside, and I tossed more than half of the full basin in a few clicks.

At this time, a figure came running from a distance, the man was so fast, so fast that as soon as Miss Luo reacted, he jumped onto the altar, grabbed my clothes and threw me over the shoulder, and threw me directly from the altar.

I was stunned, I couldn't get up for a long time, I saw Xiao Mu standing there looking at me angrily, I saw Xiao Mu angry for the first time, he was always that lazy look, it seemed that the sky could face it calmly.

But why is he so angry now? Where did he go before?

Before I could ask, I heard him say, "You have killed me now, so let's listen to the destiny of heaven." ”

This headless sentence stunned everyone, and they didn't know what he wanted to express.

Looking at Xiao Mu walking towards me step by step, that expression of choosing people to devour, I felt that he was moved to kill, and I was very scared, if Xiao Mu wanted to kill me, no one here could stop me.

But when he walked in front of me, he suddenly sighed and said, "You have touched the Yellow Spring Holy Water, the creatures here will not let go of any living creatures that come in, if you don't want to die too miserably, you can choose to kill yourself early." ”

"What Yellow Spring Holy Water? Dude, to put it thoroughly, the third master doesn't want to die in vain. Liu Sanyan said.

Xiao Mu retreated to the steps of the altar, sat down and said: "Yin and Yang Tomb, Nai He Bridge, Huangquan Road, Meng Po Tang, Nine Turns Difu, we have already walked four times, it is a miracle to be able to get there." ”

Miss Luo ripped off her hood, frowned, and asked, "Fanshazhe defense line, are you black?" ”

This is the black word of the inverted bucket, which means to ask who Xiaomu is.

Xiao Mu sat still, and said after a while: "I don't know who I am, I feel familiar when I come in, as if I have been here before, and I can't remember, I see the Nai He Bridge, the iron lock hanging corpse, the Yellow Spring Holy Water, I vaguely remember that I did come many years ago, and many people died, and someone also moved the Yellow Spring Holy Water, alarmed the ghost mother, corpse falcon, corpse butterfly, hell ants all swarmed, not afraid of life and death, and then I don't know who injured the ghost mother, led away the ghost mother, and we were able to escape." ”

When I heard this, I was shocked, could it be that Xiaomu really came here thirty-five years ago? Is Luo Jin's photo really Xiaomu?

But this is too subversive of common sense, how did this Xiaomu not get old? Did he pay a lot of attention to maintenance, or went to pull the skin?

This is a bit of a, although I don't know him very well, but I have been eating and living together for several days along the way, he is almost a person who is so lazy that he doesn't even wash his face, how can he spend energy to maintain it?

Marijuana didn't believe it, or I was a little angry when I saw Xiaomu hurt me, and said sarcastically: "Where is the ghost mother?" I haven't come out for so long, maybe I'll die sooner. ”

Xiaomu said, "I'm not dead. ”

"Then why don't you run yet? Leave this kind of ghost mother to invite you to dinner? Marijuana said again.

Xiaomu said, "I can't go." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the cry of "squeak" corpse butterflies came from the darkness, and the sound became more and more impatient, and countless corpse butterflies had hovered in the sky for some time.

And we could hear the sound of hailstones, the eggs of the dried corpses falling one by one, and the young ones staggering to their feet, stumbling towards us, and in a few moments they were strong as flying.

"Fuck, don't come, we don't have enough of you to share." Liu Sanyan roared, picked up the gun and fired indiscriminately.

But this is a drop in the bucket, even if we put two machine guns will not be enough to strafe, and in a short time the altar will be surrounded by water.

And one by one black hell ants came out of the ground, and I was so frightened that I hurried up to the altar, and saw that the ground was shaking, and who knows how many hell ants there were below.

Flying in the sky, running on the ground, and drilling in the soil, it is really impossible to run from the heavens and the earth.

But the strange thing is that these monsters only besiege and do not attack, which makes us a little confused.

"Could it be that these things are afraid of the altar's building materials? It's like snakes and insects are afraid of realgar. "I said, if that's the case, it's safe for the time being, suddenly these monsters are extremely ferocious, but animals are animals, and their intelligence is limited.

Xiao Mu said, "No, they are waiting for the ghost mother." ”

, this thing knows wolf tactics? It really dashed our last hope.

After ten minutes of this, there was a "cooing" sound in the distance, which was not high, but it was very long, a little like the sound of a pigeon, but much more gloomy.

The corpse falcons and hell ants on the ground avoided each other, leaving a path in between.

A black figure five or six meters long crawled slowly, at first I thought it would be a snake or some kind of insect mollusk, but when I got closer, I felt numb.

I don't know how to describe it, it's a centipede, it does have the body of a centipede, but it doesn't have so many feet, only seven pairs, and it is very similar to a human arm, and a large piece of soft sac tissue underneath, like a frog, can agitate, this should be its sound capsule. What was even more terrifying was that the ghost mother opened her mouth, and a young and child's head came out, staring at us with eerie resentment.

Xiao Mu said: "The ghost mother's facial features grow on the tongue, and there is almost no fatal damage, even if you cut off her tongue, it will still grow after a while." ”

Liu San swallowed his saliva and said, "Don't say it, you don't need the ghost mother to do it, these little minions under its command can send us to the West Heaven a hundred times." ”

Ten meters away from us, the ghost mother stopped, only to see it pick up a handful of corpse falcons with one arm and stuff them into its mouth, these corpse falcons that had just broken out of the shell were the size of peanuts, and the ghost mother ate with relish, and those corpse falcons did not resist, but squeezed towards the ghost mother one after another.

"Hah!" The young and childish faces shouted in all directions, and the corpse falcons retreated, not daring to go any further.

"Lao Tzu will smash its head first!" Marijuana raised the gun fiercely, but was held down by Xiaomu.

Xiao Mu said: "Don't do it yet, as soon as your gun goes off, these monsters will definitely swarm up, and we will be over." ”

"What then? Why don't you give in to it and beg the ghost mother to let us go like a fart? Liu Sanyan said.

I said, "Then this glorious diplomatic task is entrusted to you." ”

"But the third master can only speak authentic Chinese, Yuanwa, you read a lot, maybe you know the foreign language that the ghost mother can understand, you are much more useful than me." Liu San's eyes shook like a rattle, and he refused.

Miss Luo couldn't stand it anymore, and scolded angrily: "It's all at this point, and I'm still here with a poor mouth." ”

Liu San looked at the stick and said, "Then what should I do?" Third master, I have to die with the bird facing up, anyway, I can't live, no matter how I die, it's death, it's better to choose a more comfortable way to die. ”

The ghost mother ate a few handfuls of corpse falcons, as if she had some appetizers before eating, and when she was almost done, she threw the rest of the corpse falcons in her hand, and called out a few times with "hahaha", and the corpse falcon butterflies and hell ants were ready to move.

Damn, it looks like I'm ready to eat the staple.

"Jump to the mountain wall, climb the chain and buy some time." Miss Luo said decisively.

The other two sides of the edge of the altar are not very far away, and the nearest chain is not too far away from us, and if we can climb the chain, we can indeed breathe more.

As long as we are on the chain, our biggest threat is those flying corpse butterflies, and even if the corpse falcons and hell ants can climb up, we can just sweep them down, which is relatively promising.

"Jump quickly, I'll buy you some time." Xiao Mu snatched Miss Luo's knife, and with a knife in his hand, his whole person's momentum changed, standing there like an insurmountable mountain.

Hemp and Liu San didn't think about it, they jumped over after running a few steps, grabbed the protruding stones, stabilized their bodies, and crawled desperately.

Miss Luo easily jumped over to the other side of the mountain, lying on the mountain and shouting, "Zhang Yuan, hurry up." ”

After a few moments, those corpse falcons and hell ants rushed towards the altar in a frenzy.

I looked at the distance, and I was anxious, this may not be able to jump.

The distance between the two sides is about the same, less than three meters, but I, a fake athlete, may not be able to jump over.

"Jump!" Xiao Mu hurriedly said, using his knife to sweep away a large number of hell ants and corpse falcons that climbed up.

Damn, staying here is also death, and if you can't jump, it's also death, Lao Tzu Bo.

I rushed out and jumped as hard as I could.

Maybe Xiaomu saw that I might not be able to jump, and kicked me in the ass the moment I jumped, and the force combined with the force of my jump hit the mountain directly.
