Eighty-two rats
As the burial soil was turned out little by little, it was quickly dug to the bottom. Sure enough, as Uncle Zhao guessed, this golden well is a feng shui well used to absorb earth qi, and there is nothing underneath, so it seems that it is a busy job again.
"It seems that this small village is not simple, there are actually people who understand the art of Jinjing." Uncle Zhao said thoughtfully.
"Uncle Zhao doesn't have anything anyway, why don't we go back first." I really don't want to stay in a place like this for a moment. The thought of the countless ghosts of all ages around me made me want to run back as fast as I could.
At this time, the depth of the grave pit has been dug by us to a certain depth. I pushed Uncle Zhao up first, and Uncle Zhao stretched out his arm to try to pull me up after he went up. Due to the rain during the day, there was some water in the grave pit, and the soil was very slippery, and I slipped under my feet several times.
Fortunately, Uncle Zhao had the strength in his arm, and he almost dragged me up, and just as my foot was about to step on the edge of the grave, my foot slipped, and my body suddenly lost balance. Uncle Zhao also had muddy water on his hands, which was somewhat smooth, and he couldn't catch me.
"Ahh I found that there was something abnormal on the ground, and the bottom of the grave seemed to sink a few centimeters in an instant, and I was just about to get up to find out, when there was a soft "boom" under my feet, and the whole tomb collapsed.
I fell with the collapse of the tomb, my mouth was full of dirt, my eyes were dark, I listened to the sound of my heart beating violently, and my mouth cried, "Where is this?" ”
It was pitch black in front of me, and I didn't know what it was, the flashlight was still on Uncle Zhao, and this good grave suddenly collapsed, could it be another tomb here.
"Xiaoyuan, are you okay?" Uncle Zhao's shouts came from overhead.
"Uncle Zhao, come down, there seems to be an ancient tomb down here." I shouted at it.
After Uncle Zhao threw down the backpack, he also jumped down, and as the flashlight in Uncle Zhao's hand turned on, his eyes lit up. The place where we are is is the passage of an ancient underground building.
"Uncle Zhao, this shouldn't be another tomb under the tomb?" I asked in a curious whisper
Uncle Zhao thought for a while before speaking. "No, if you look at the road that is nearly two meters wide, if it is an ancient tomb, it must be a king's tomb. But I've paid attention to the feng shui above, not to mention burying the king, not even a county order will be buried here. ”
In fact, I also paid attention to the feng shui here during the day, and it is indeed as Uncle Zhao said, the ordinary cannot be ordinary, and it does not have the conditions to bury the king, but if this is not an ancient tomb, then what can it be.
"Let's go ahead and have a look." Uncle Zhao signaled.
But just as he was about to start, the flashlight flickered forward, and a vague figure stood not far away. It will definitely not be a person who can appear here, thinking of this, I can't help but start panicking in my heart, "Zhao... Uncle Zhao, there seems to be someone over there. ”
"This tunnel buried deep in the ground, how can there be people, even if there is, it is a dumpling corpse." Uncle Zhao's words are quite simple, but if you really encounter a yin object such as zongzi, it will not be easy for the two of us to deal with it.
"Uncle Zhao, why don't we go back, I always think something is wrong here." At this moment, my heart began to be inexplicably frizzy, and the black figure in front of me was still motionless.
"You follow me, if there is anything, you just have to run for your life." Uncle Zhao said calmly.
It seems that Uncle Zhao has to go, and I can't stop it, so I can only hold the pistol tightly and follow behind him. With the clear footsteps of the two of us echoing in our ears, and the sound of rough breathing, we slowly got closer and closer to the black shadow.
When I walked to the front and back, I let out a sigh of relief, and it turned out that there was a false alarm, and I scared myself. It's just a stone statue, but the stone statue placed next to the road is also scary.
The stone statue's eyes widened, its eyeballs burst out, and its wide open mouth exposed two sharp teeth, and its appearance was terrifying. The fork in his hand is fierce, and he really looks like he wants to eat people.
"Uncle Zhao, what is this stone statue, why doesn't it look like a human." I asked in a whisper, for fear of waking up the guy in front of me.
"If I'm not mistaken, this should be a 'ghost' statue." Uncle Zhao looked at the stone statue and said.
Hearing Uncle Zhao say this, I seem a little unbelievable, I have heard of the Buddha statue in the tomb. I've seen a statue of a god in a tomb, and it's the first time I've seen a ghost statue in the tomb.
"Uncle Zhao, how can someone still put a ghost statue in his tomb? Doesn't that seem a little strange? "After a person dies, the soul is out of the body, and the ghost is most afraid of being caught by the ghost in the underworld, but you can put a ghost image at the door of your own mansion, which is not clear waiting to be caught, which is also a little too strange.
"Now I'm more sure that this is definitely not a tomb." Uncle Zhao asserted.
At this moment, I also have some belief that this is not an ancient tomb, and ghosts are sacrificed in the tomb, which is obviously contrary to what is said in the "Book of Burial". The soul is afraid of hell, and the ghost is afraid of seeing the yin, and the place where the deceased is buried is not suitable for the ghost to be a yin soldier.
Therefore, I also think that this is definitely not an ancient tomb, but if it is not an ancient tomb. What is this underground building, but full of curiosity, Uncle Zhao and I continued to walk forward.
The corridor is very long, and there will be a ghost image every other paragraph, but the faces and physiognomy are different. Some stuck out their tongues and held large knives in their hands, some stared wide-eyed, but lost an arm, some half-crouched on the ground, holding their weapons high, and some stood upright, clutching knives and forks. Anyway, along the way, every time I see a ghost, my heart chuckles.
Although I was in a panic, I was quite safe along the way, and apart from the shock to the soul of these ghost stone statues, I didn't encounter any mechanism or anything like that.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak," a few cries came from the front.
As soon as the flashlight shone forward, I was startled, I had seen mice, but this was the first time I had seen a mouse the size of a cat. This rat is about the size of a cat, black all over, with a yellowish-brown fluff on its back, which looks quite penetrating.
"It's not good, Xiaoyuan, be careful, this is a 'corpse mouse' that is highly poisonous." When Uncle Zhao saw the big black rat in front of him, he immediately became nervous.
Although this is the first time I've seen a 'corpse mouse', I think I've heard someone say that it's actually an evolution of ordinary rats. It is said that there are many in the cemetery, because this kind of rat has been exposed to corpse gas for a long time, and eats some corpses, especially those that are seriously decomposed, and eats these rotting corpses for a long time. The body will find mutations, the size is huge, the most terrifying thing about these corpse chewing rats is his teeth, because of long-term gnawing on the carrion, there will be a layer of corpse poison on the teeth, once the bite is bitten, the bitten person is undoubtedly forced to die.
Under the light of the flashlight, the huge black corpse munching rat's eyes glowed with a seeping red light, and continued to wander unscrupulously in the corridor, unaffected by our two uninvited guests.
I looked back and thought that it was not right, since this is not an ancient tomb, then there will definitely be no corpses, so where did the corpse rats come from, and suddenly there was a contradiction in my head.
"Uncle Zhao, things don't seem to be so simple, you see some corpse chewing rats appear here, then there will definitely be corpses in here."
