Strange to say, this torch is smeared with oil, and even if it is blown out, it usually takes a lot of effort. This gust of wind is not very urgent, why is it that all four torches are suddenly extinguished at the same time?

In the darkness, I heard Nan Ya whispering in front of me: "Brother Nan Ya, the fire is out......"

"Shhhh......h

Yao Xiaomei pressed closer to me and put her hand around my waist. I'm wondering, you say you're a nine-tailed cat demon, are you afraid of the dark?

But for the sake of her good looks, I'll reluctantly let him take advantage of it...... Ahem.

At this time, I heard a hissing sound in my head, which was very subtle, and I didn't dare to look up, I couldn't see anything anyway.

Then I felt something in front of my face, which seemed to touch my nose as well, itchy, and I was so scared that I didn't dare to move.

I'm not afraid of seeing anything, even if it's a bleeding face, but I can't see anything, I will think wildly in my heart, and the more I think about it, the more scared I become.

There were a few squeaks from the Nanya position in front, and I don't know if he killed some insects again.

I felt Yao Xiaomei hug me tighter.

Just as I guessed what was in front of me, the torch suddenly lit up.

Before my eyes appeared an extremely distorted human face, with wrinkled, black skin and twisted features. Originally, it was nothing, but when I saw clearly that this face was on the spider, he opened his mouth and smiled at me, and I let out an "ah" in fright, shouted out, and hurriedly took a few steps back.

Then Niu Meng's Chinese face came over, "Brother Jiu, are you okay?" Just a spider. ”

I settled down, waved my hand and said, "It's okay, it looks like a dead face at first glance." ”

At this time, Nan Ya took a dagger, and a dagger stabbed the spider hanging in mid-air to death.

I lit the torch and saw the corpses of several of these spiders on the ground around me, all the size of a face.

Nan Ya kicked the spider corpses aside and said to us, "This is a human-faced spider, it can only be found far away from Middle-earth, I don't know why there is such a thing in this ancient tomb." Be careful, they attack people and are highly poisonous. ”

Niu Meng's butcher personality was reflected at this time, and he didn't look nervous or scared at all.

Nanya has experienced strong winds and waves, so there is no need to say more. Only I seem to be a little cowardly, Yao Xiaomei may be more nervous than me?

Since she entered the ancient tomb, she has rarely spoken, as if she has changed as a person, and she is not at all like the original one.

We kept walking, not looking out where the wind was coming from.

Carefully exploring along the wall, I basically walked around this place, and probably judged that this was a square burial chamber, not only large, but also very high, otherwise it would not seem so empty.

The length and width are about 20 zhang, and there are no traps or stone lamps on the walls. Along the way, I encountered a lot of strange bugs, the largest of which was only the size of a head, and I didn't encounter any particularly large monsters.

Nan Ya simply slaughtered a lot, in fact, his approach is very dangerous. Because when those bugs die, they make noises, and some of them are quite loud.

If there are a lot of bugs in this tomb, you will be attracted to the sound.

Fortunately, we didn't encounter this situation, or maybe Nan Ya has a more sensitive sense of smell and knows that there are not many insects in the ancient tomb?

I can't smell it anyway.

"You stand here and don't move, wait for me." After Nan Ya finished speaking, he handed me the torch. Then he bit his finger and smeared some blood on the eyelids of his eyes, and he didn't know what was being muttered in his mouth.

After reading it, I noticed that Nanya's eyes were a little red, but it was not particularly obvious.

My impression is that there is no Taoist technique that can make the eyes special, and the only one is to open the eyes of the sky.

Many laymen also misunderstand about opening the eyes of the sky, thinking that if you wipe a little cow tears, garlic, or any mess, you can see things that you shouldn't see.

In fact, the Dao technique of opening the Heavenly Eye also takes advantage of the change in aura. In a short period of time, change the aura around the body, and those things that were originally invisible will be revealed.

But as long as you leave the range of aura, you will still be invisible. This is my grandfather's explanation, as for the aura, internal force, and aura, I still don't know much about it.

But after my grandfather finished speaking, everything that seems unreasonable in this world actually has reasonable explanations, even including hell and souls.

After wiping his eyes, Nan Ya walked towards the middle of the tomb, and his figure disappeared into the darkness.

The temperature around seems to be getting a little cooler.

Yao was holding a torch in her left hand and her shoulder in her right hand, looking a little cold.

"Is Lord Yao cold?" I asked her, after all, she didn't wear thick clothes, and the clothes on her body were all made of her own hair.

I'm a kind-hearted person, and I can't see that her hands are cold, so I take off my coat and put it on her.

Yao just looked at me very strangely, nothing, and I didn't understand what her eyes meant.

Niu Meng probably thought that there was nothing wrong for the time being, so he lit the cigarette pouch and smoked again.

"Take your time, be careful that the smoke attracts bugs." I said him.

Niu Meng shrugged his shoulders and took a very comfortable puff of his cigarette, "What are you afraid of, besides, aren't all insects afraid of smoke?" I often smoke mosquitoes from the house. ”

I gave Niu Meng a blank look, and didn't bother to pay attention to him. He, a man of five big and three coarse, sees mountains and opens roads, and repairs bridges when encountering water, where will he be so thoughtful.

Almost half a pillar of incense time, there was a sudden booming sound in front.

Immediately after that, one fire after another lit up, and in an instant the great burial chamber was lit up.

A square burial chamber with a circular stone platform in the middle. The stone platform starts from the ground and is masonry layer by layer, with a total of nine layers of masonry with nine circular steps.

A sarcophagus rests on the circular steps. This sarcophagus is not particularly square, the head and tail of the coffin are very rounded. It is twice as large as those common coffins.

Stone lampposts are erected around the circular stone platform, and the top of each lamppost is the same as the stone lamps in the outer passage, in the shape of a nine-tailed demon fox. The lampposts were carved with words, or symbols, that I had never seen before.

These lampposts are arranged evenly on the outside of the circular stone platform, surrounding a circle, and there are nine in total.

Further out, there is another circle of lampposts, which is more than half the height of the lampposts inside, and then outward, for a total of three circles of lampposts. Each lap is nine.

The most important thing is that starting from the outermost lamppost, the ground is full of all kinds of insects, densely packed with the entire ground. Large centipedes, large worms, large spiders, large silkworms...... We've seen it before, it's all huddled together, and it's all alive.

My scalp is numb when I see it. The strangest thing was that the bugs were in the middle circle, and none of them crossed the range of the lamppost, nor did they have on the stone platform.

There is a kind of appearance that does not dare to cross the thunder pool by half a step.

I looked up, and Nan Ya had just jumped off one of the outermost lampposts. This kind of lamppost is recorded in the classics of the Soul Burial Sect, and it is called the Nine Turning Soul Lamp.

Each lamppost is connected, and if you light one of them, the rest will be lit together. The internal structure is nothing more than connected by iron pipes, filled with saltpeter, oil and the like.

However, the Nine Turns Soul Lamp here should be made of the legendary oil for the Everbright Lamp, at least something similar.

Part of the top of the tomb can be seen by the light of the outer lampposts, and only some can be faintly seen in other places because the inner lampposts are too low and not very bright.

The top of the tomb is engraved with the text of the Jurchen Kingdom, and the two lines of words are written separately, "The Rakshasa leads to the secluded place, and the bones of the Yellow Spring are cold." ”

The strange thing is that the previous sentence uses the Jurchen language, and the next sentence uses the Khitan language.

This coincides with the words written in the tomb of the Rakshasa Queen in Hua Jingque's mouth.

Extrapolating from the time, it is quite consistent. The Jurchen Kingdom was a regime established during the Song Dynasty, but the Jurchen State script evolved from the Khitan ethnic group of the Liao State.

The Khitan people were ruled by the Hui during the Tang Dynasty, and only then did they begin to form a unified script.

And the earliest record of the Rakshasa Kingdom is also in the Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, this tomb is likely to be a tomb of the Tang Dynasty.

I just don't know what this "Rakshasa leads to a secluded place, and the bones of Huangquan are cold" means, and why there is the same text in this tomb?

"Brother Jiu, what's written on this?" Niu Meng smoked a cigarette, frowning and thinking.

"The Rakshasa leads to a secluded place, and the bones of the Yellow Spring are cold." I'll reply to him.

"What do you mean?" Niu Meng asked again.

I shook my head, indicating I didn't know.

Nan Ya suddenly said: "This tomb must be related to the tomb of Queen Rakshasa , but now is not the time to think about this." You have to find a way to open that sarcophagus.

This sarcophagus should be an empty coffin, and there may be hidden weapons or mechanisms inside. With this huge ancient tomb, it is absolutely impossible to design the main burial chamber in such a place that can be easily found. ”

Niu Meng nodded, "What Brother Nan Ya said makes sense, but I have a question." ”

"You say." Nan Ya replied.

Niu Meng said: "In this ancient tomb, those corpses have long become skeletons, how did so many insects survive?" You can't grow this big without eating or drinking, right? ”

Niu Meng's question also asked me.

yes, what do these bugs do to survive? The corpses in the ancient tomb have long since become skeletons, and even if there are thousands of years of incorruptible corpses in the sarcophagus, it is impossible to feed such a large group of insects.

Nan Ya frowned and said, "I seem to have overlooked a point...... There should be a large number of tomb vines in this ancient tomb. Be careful, don't ......."

Before Nan Ya could finish speaking, I heard a brushing sound behind me, like something was rubbing against the ground, very urgent.

Before he could look back, his legs were suddenly entangled in something.

In an instant, I was pulled into the air, and at the same time, the pain was terrible as if my legs had been pricked by a dense pile of needles.
