Chapter Twenty-Three: The Corpse Gas of the Well
"What are you doing?" Tianyou saw Zimeng's strange movements, and he didn't think about the question just now.
Zimeng seemed to be unable to hear at this time, and bowed his head and pondered for a while before slowly lighting a cigarette: "You are deaf to me, I heard everything you talked about, okay, but you don't have to worry about the dean's okay." ”
Feng Long and Tianyou looked at each other, and they didn't know why Zimeng was so sure and didn't speak quietly and waited for the following, Zimeng took a puff of cigarette before spitting the smoke and continued: "At that time, I came out to buy cigarettes, but I accidentally saw the dean and he appeared on Nanling Street, I called him from afar, and I didn't see an answer, I felt weird and followed."
Later, I found that the dean seemed to be in an evil and didn't get angry at all, so I stood in front of him and didn't pay attention to me, and I was wondering if the dean was scared by something dirty, although I didn't know Zhou Fan so much about this business, but it could be seen that the dean should be overly frightened, or..."
Zimeng paused for a long time in the middle of speaking, and didn't continue to speak, but smoked a cigarette there, Tianyou and Feng Long both felt a little crazy, and couldn't help but want to beat this thing, but the two knew that they couldn't be too careful at this time.
Feng Long looked at Tianyou, and then glanced at where he was smoking a cigarette leisurely, Zimeng couldn't help gritting his teeth and said, "You have it, you are going to say it." ”
"Uh.. ... I thought you didn't ask, how could you show how good I was if you didn't ask. Zimeng extinguished the cigarette before he said to the two of them.
", don't talk nonsense." Tianyou looked at Zimeng and almost didn't slap it.
Zimeng didn't get angry when he saw this, and his original expression became a little solemn: "I guess if the dean is either too frightened or a ghost, if the former is fine, if it is the latter, it will be a big trouble." ”
"Your uncle, since you know, why didn't you tell us earlier." Feng Long was still upset about what happened just now, and his eyes couldn't help but glare at Zimeng fiercely.
"Actually, I don't understand, I just thought about it when you talked just now, but I'm not very sure, because if the dean is too frightened, then there is no reason for him to disappear by himself after you come, but if it is a ghost, why didn't he disappear after you came?
Before you came, I had been here with the dean for about twenty minutes, and he didn't see him sooner or later, but he disappeared after you arrived, and there was any connection between that, so I didn't say what I thought just now, and I don't know how to explain this situation. After Zimeng finished speaking, he took out a cigarette and lit it for himself.
"So the dean hasn't been killed yet, it's likely that he was controlled by something dirty, maybe it's all around us." Tianyou glanced at the inky black courtyard, as if he wanted to find something in the night.
"No, when we came in just now, we could climb on the wall and look down on the Zhaozong Mansion, although this place is not small, but it is not very big, at most it is the size of half a football field, and we didn't find anyone in the front yard when we passed by just now.
And didn't Zimeng also say that the dean disappeared after we arrived, which proves that when we climbed the wall, the dean was still with Zimeng, and even when we came down from the wall, the dean was still there, but when Zimeng met us, he didn't pay attention to the dean, and he disappeared.
When I used a flashlight to shine on that well just now, I also looked around, not to mention the dean, and I didn't even find a single bug, I guess the dean was either in that well, or in the main hall of the Zhaozong Mansion behind us. Feng Long thought about Hui Zimeng's words and said his opinion.
"According to your guess, the dean is most likely in the main hall behind us, and as for the well, I don't think it's likely, if the dean is in the well.
Not to mention whether there is water in it or not, even the huge door panel on it cannot be lifted by one person, and even if the dean is really in the well, who will cover this door panel?
As for the main hall behind you, you also said that it is very dangerous inside, should we enter or not? Tianyou took Feng Long's words and analyzed the matter again, but he still couldn't make up his mind and set his eyes on Feng Long again.
Zimeng looked at the main hall of the Zhaozong Mansion behind the meeting and snuffed out the cigarette in his hand: "Come in, why can't we leave the dean here alone, not to mention that Zhou Fan has not completely recovered, and he has to trouble the old dean, and we may not be safe here." ”
"You're wrong, the reason why I let you go to this corner is to let you avoid somewhere, because it's really dangerous inside." Feng Faucet signaled Zimeng not to mess around, if he really broke in, it would not be so easy to turn back.
Seeing the two of them looking at him puzzled again, Feng Long continued: "Even if there is dirt inside, it won't come out, there were indeed people taking drugs here before, but in the past ten years, people have gradually realized the harm of drug use, and few people are going to drugs anymore."
Instead, it is a disguised way to smoke some drugs, such as "K powder. Ecstasy. Fairy water" and the like, although those are also drugs, but they are not easy to addictive, and the harm to the body is far from the level of "heroin". "Methamphetamine is a high-quality drug with pure dose.
These governments on our side have put a lot of effort into drug control, although those "K powder. Ecstasy. "Fairy water" is not easy to addict but is also a drug, so the government has also made great efforts to investigate and deal with it, but there is still a small amount of outflow, but now no one will smoke any more things and come here to hang around, most of them are not going to KTV even to open a house.
In the past two years, the state has also been engaged in cultural heritage protection projects, and although the Zhaozong Mansion does not know whether it can be included in the protection object, the government is not as indifferent as before, and a fence has been built around it.
This ordinary thief may not be able to climb in, let alone a drug addict, so I don't think there will be any living people inside, and if the dirty stuff in it can come out, it will come out sooner.
Don't you see the two things posted on the door behind us, which one should be the door god, and it is also used to ward off evil spirits, if I met it before, I wouldn't believe it, but after so much, I can't help but believe it. “
Feng Long said so much in one breath and gasped a little, took a deep breath to calm down his emotions and continued: "I heard my friend's grandmother say before that his family lived in this neighborhood before.
At night, you will often hear some strange sounds, at that time it was still the early days of liberation, people were still very afraid of some gods and ghosts, and people at that time did not dare to come to the Zhaozong Mansion even during the day.
But since a Taoist priest came and put two door gods on the door, those strange sounds disappeared, and I heard my friend's grandmother say that the Taoist priest had been living in his house for a while, and had borrowed an old package from his grandmother when he left.
At that time, the Taoist priest told his grandmother: There are unclean things in the Zhaozong Mansion, and the two door gods he pasted must not be torn off, and asked her to tell the neighbors around not to go in.
As for the fact that you can come outside during the day, but don't stay too long, try not to go there at night, I didn't believe it a few years ago, but now I have to believe it, so that's why I don't let you in.
"So what now? You can't go, you can't stay, you can't stay. Zimeng was distraught, threw away the cigarette butt he had smoked, and stepped on his feet fiercely.
Feng Long paused, glanced at the ancient well, forgot to go to the main hall behind him, slowly stood up and said, "Why don't you go and see what's going on with that well?" ”
After saying that, Feng Long walked forward, Zimeng and Tianyou looked at each other and hurriedly followed, the three of them came to the ancient well with flashlights, stared at it carefully, and saw Feng Long said: "God bless you and I on each side, lift this door panel down, Zimeng, you are good to stand aside and respond." ”
Tianyou didn't talk nonsense after listening to it, turned around and walked to the well, and after a while, the two of them stood on their own side, and after the two looked at each other, they instantly lifted the door panel of not less than 100 catties.
The door panel was gradually lifted by the two of them into a fist-sized gap, the moment the door panel was raised, a strange feeling instantly surged into the hearts of Tianyou and Feng Long, the two of them stared wide-eyed, and they couldn't help but look at each other, and they both saw each other's surprised and solemn expressions.
After going through too many things, several people know the roots, the two of them let go at the same time after making a look, the door panel that was not light has been lifted a lot of distance, because Tianyou and the two let go at the same time, so that this heavy door panel fell fiercely, only to hear a loud (bang), the door panel was covered back on the well.
This frightened Zimeng who was standing aside, the flashlight in his hand almost didn't fall to the ground, looking at Tianyou and Feng Long, who both took a few steps back with solemn faces, he himself no longer approached the well, and also retreated a little.
The three of them are standing in three different directions at this time, you look at me, I see that you haven't spoken, and when you are quiet, it always makes people feel frightened, and the three of them at this time are estimated to be able to hear each other's heartbeats.
Zi couldn't stand this weird atmosphere, and asked first: "What's the matter with you, suddenly let go and say it first, I was almost scared to death by you." ”
Tianyou looked at Zimeng but ignored him, Feng Long walked to the place where they were resting alone, Tianyou also followed when he saw this, came to Zimeng's side and ignored Zimeng's puzzled face, and pulled him back to the fire and sat down.
Feng Long saw that Zimeng and Tianyou were back, so he looked at Tianyou with a solemn expression, only to see that Tianyou also looked at him with a strange face, Feng Long glanced at the ancient well, and carefully took out a small bag of cinnabar and a pack of small realgar from his backpack, and took out a small bottle of Erguotou, and poured both realgar and cinnabar into the wine.
Then he tore a piece of rune paper into pieces, and soaked the rune paper into the wine, and suddenly the small bottle produced a strange smell that filled the air, probably several things added together, resulting in a chemical effect that made the smell a little pungent, and the little white mist produced in the bottle, with the strange smell spread under this small roof, making this dark night a little more psychedelic color.
This strange action made Zimeng, who was already puzzled, even more surprised: "What are you going to do, you don't have such fun doing chemical experiments in the middle of the night." After saying that, he shook his hand fiercely, thinking that it was the fog and smell that made him feel uncomfortable.
Feng Long waited until the smoke and smell were gone, then slowly took out the emergency gauze, tore off a piece and handed it to Tianyou, Zimeng, who originally wanted to complain a few words, saw Feng Long's action and stood up suddenly: "What's the matter?" Are you hurt? ”
Feng Long ignored Zimeng, which made Zimeng very annoyed, and just wanted to lose his temper, but saw Tianyou slowly stretch out his hand, Zimeng saw that the back of Tianyou's entire hand was blackened, and there was a feeling that it was scorched, Zimeng couldn't help but widen his eyes, and subconsciously looked at Feng Long.
But before Zimeng could speak, Feng Long spoke first: "Okay, don't make a fuss, Tianyou and I have both been poisoned by corpses, and they are corpse poisons with methane." ”
Feng Long tore a piece of gauze and bandaged himself, and then poured the mixed wine in the bottle into his hand, only to see that the wine poured on his hand was absorbed without spilling a drop like the earth after a drought.
Zimeng looked at Feng Long and couldn't help frowning when he saw that he was in pain, and after Feng Long spilled the wine on his hand, he handed the rest to Tianyou, and then breathed a sigh of relief: "This is not an ordinary pain." ”
"What the hell is going on with you guys..."
"Hiss..." Before Zimeng's words fell, Tianyou made a painful * sound, but it also interrupted Zimeng's words.
"Are you alright?" Zimeng looked at Tianyou, who had a painful expression, and couldn't help but be a little worried.
"I'm fine, but it's inconvenient to move now, and my hands are a little inflexible." After listening to Tianyou's words, Zimeng was a little relieved, glanced at the bandaged hands of the two and couldn't help asking, "How did you get hurt?" ”
Feng Long took out some food from his backpack and gave it to the two of them, then looked back at the well and said, "This injury should be caused by the mixing of corpse gas and methane gas, ordinary corpse gas will not make our skin suffer such heavy burns."
I think there must be a large amount of corpse gas in that dry well, and the corpse gas of decaying things precipitated at the bottom of the well, and the decaying things have not seen sunlight and water vapor for many years, and the chemical reaction has produced some gas similar to carbon dioxide.
This gas has become the gas we usually use after the use, this gas burns when it encounters fire, and it will explode when it ignites, and if there is a lot of precipitated gas, it will explode, which may be the moment we lift the door panel, and the corpse gas and biogas float out along the air flow together.
My hand and Tianyou's hand happened to be palm up, and the back of the hand was facing down to lift the door panel, so the back of the hand was corroded by the corpse gas, and this biogas has not seen sunlight and water vapor for many years, and it happened to rain tonight, so that the biogas had a burning effect after being exposed to rain.
Because it is not only burning at the bottom of the well, but it comes out with the air flow, and the methane gas that will disappear as soon as it gets on the skin is eroded along with the corpse gas, which will have this effect of being burned and eroded by corpse gas, and it seems that there is a dry well underneath. ”
