Chapter 14 Ancestral Tombs
The ghost led me to a stop at the foot of the back mountain, and she used her dagger to put it into an inconspicuous hole, and after a while, a stone staircase appeared in the middle of the mountain, leading to the underground.
"It's so magical, it's like making a blockbuster." In addition to appearing in the movie, such a scene is really unimaginable in reality, and I can't hold back the excitement in my heart and want to find out.
"You're leaking when you speak, you're embarrassed to be beautiful! There's more to come! "The spirits began to dislike me for being uninformed.
"You're a shame now, and you've finally caught the opportunity to make fun of me, okay, then you can laugh hard! Don't blink your waist. ”
As soon as I raised my eyes, the whole dark passage was as bright as day. I rubbed my eyes, and yes, I read that right. A row of night pearls is quietly placed there.
I hurriedly walked over and took a crystal clear bead in my hand, which looked simple but could emit such a strong light. If this is on the market, it will definitely sell for a good price.
The ghost solemnly pulled me back to her and put the Night Pearl back in its place.
"Don't move, there's a mechanism here, you follow me."
"Why do I think we're like grave robbers? There are even organs. "The words that came out of my mouth were indeed a bit leaky, and I secretly made up my mind that when I went back, I would have two gold teeth. If the ghosts had known that I had this thought, they would have pretended not to know me.
"This is the mausoleum of the ancestors of the ghost family, there must be organs everywhere, and the entire interior of the mountain belongs to the ghost family. There is an ancient mythical beast that the ghost clan specializes in guarding the tomb, commonly known as the unicorn. The unicorn is good and loyal, and neither humans nor wandering spirits can escape its eyes. The ghost explained it to me in detail.
"It's also an ancient beast, the more you talk about it, the more mysterious it becomes. But I've got a lot of experience. I have lived in the village for more than ten years, and I have never found such a place in the back mountain. ”
I can't help but sigh in my heart how many traces of history in this world that we have not discovered.
If it weren't for the ghosts who brought me to this place, I guess I wouldn't have been able to find it in my life.
"You definitely won't find it here, there are formations outside, and I brought you here today to let you pay homage to your grandfather and father, and you will replace them in the future."
I know what the ghost is saying, and I don't think I'll ever come here again in the future.
We continued to walk inward for about half an hour, probably in the middle of the mountain, with a fist-sized pearl of the night every two meters along the way.
With such luxury, I can't help but sigh at the accumulation of the family, but my grandmother took us to live so hard, what happened?
After a while, there was a gate about five meters high in front of me, and in front of the gate there was indeed a stone beast squatting with horns on its head, which was the unicorn in the mouth of the ghost.
I can't wait for the spirits to open the door and find out. But when the gate opened, I was dumbfounded, and there was a waist-high baffle at the gate.
The ghost chuckled at me, "That's the high threshold for doing it. With that, she flipped in neatly.
The ancients were really particular, I dragged my injured foot and slowly flipped over. When I looked up, the entire space was as tall as a dozen or so story buildings. There is a floor of about fifty centimeters, and there are nearly 100 blocks on each floor, and there is a spiritual position and an altar in the block, and there are more than thousands of spiritual positions here.
I swallowed my saliva, facing so many ancestors and ancestors, I was afraid that I would say the wrong thing, so I had to keep my mouth shut. There was a huge pressure in the background, and I couldn't breathe.
"The ghost family doesn't have as many rules as other families, you only need to step forward and kowtow three times, and that's it. Grandpa and Dad are at the bottom. The spirit pointed to the mat on the ground and motioned for me to come over.
I stepped forward, knelt down and kowtowed three times, then looked at the ghost in confusion and asked her cautiously.
"Is there ashes in every jar here?"
"No, there are bones. The descendants of the ghost family can only bury their bones or ashes here to deter their souls. If their bones are not buried here, they will be assimilated by the spirits. ”
"Why do you keep saying that those are spirits, not ghosts?" Because his surname is strange, although the pronunciation is different, the characters are the same.
"In fact, people think that ghosts are terrible, but in fact, ghosts are spirits that transform after the death of relatives, and can shelter the children who pray. And what is really scary are the unknown, shapeless monsters. The resentful spirit sucks the resentment of the person who has deep resentment after death, and gradually becomes stronger. I will extradite the lost souls, and you will remove the evil of the people. ”
"Alas, I have lived in this world for twenty years, and there is no such thing as a resentful spirit." I'm also suspicious of resentful spirits, how can there be so many spirits.
In the midst of my father's block, the ghost took out a short sword and handed it to me, "Actually, everyone knows it, so it's okay not to mention it!" To you, this short sword is handed down by the family, Dad used to use it, he is very remarkable, I hope you can be worthy of this short sword. ”
I looked at the short sword in my hand, but I was a little disappointed, it was not as extravagant as it was on TV, there were no gems and diamonds, some were just rusty, whether it was the scabbard or the sword inside, it was the same mottled.
The ghost smiled and said, "Disappointed? People say that Ou Yezi refined the first iron sword 'Long Yuan', which opened the era of cold weapons, but this sword was earlier than Ou Yezi, but the world didn't know it. This is the sword that our ancestors refined to kill souls, and the sword is called Soul Eater. ”
I didn't expect this rusty broken sword to be earlier than Ou Yezi, and with such a domineering name, it doesn't seem to be a loss.
"Do you want to recognize the Lord?"
"Poof" the ghost couldn't hold back a laugh, "this really fools you, if you want to become the master of the Soul Eater, you need to make a contract with it, just drop your blood on the hilt of the sword." ”
I looked at the sword, and it didn't feel very sharp, so I did it anyway to witness the miracle. However, there was no miracle as I had imagined.
provoked a burst of ridicule from the ghosts, "You've read too many fantasy novels!" The blood of the descendants of the Oni clan can scare the soul. You have a contract with the Soul Eater Knot, and it can be used for you, so you must eat more red dates, and don't be short of blood! It's still big and there will be a chance to come in the future. It's almost time, let's go to Grandpa Zhang's soul, and if you're lucky, you can see things you couldn't see before. ”
I couldn't help but shudder, is this the first time a big girl gets on the sedan chair?
The ghost pulled me back the way I came, and I looked at the pearl of the night with reluctance. I wanted to take one and leave, but I was immediately stopped by the ghost.
"You want to see the legendary unicorn, I don't want to see it, you can't spend the property of the ghost family for hundreds of lifetimes, don't be eaten by a unicorn because of a night pearl." I was a little embarrassed to be told what she said.
However, I heard her say that our family has a fortune that we have spent for several lifetimes, and since we have money, we still have to stay in such a ravine, there must be a reason here.
