41. Non-ghost blowing the lamp (II)
This sudden change made me and my beard nervous.
The burial chamber was closed, with only one entrance for us to enter, and the candle was placed on the southeast corner by the beard, and even if the wind did blow at the entrance, it would never have been possible to blow the candle.
The most terrifying thing is that the four stone statues of lamp slaves around us turned directly in one direction without a sound, looking at the two of us in a daze, and the feeling made my heart tremble.
Since the candle in the southeast corner was a little far away from us, it didn't attract my attention too much. It's just that these four lamp slaves are very weird, and they have to attract people's attention.
The beard's reaction was the opposite of mine, and he stared at the candle with a pale face and trembling lips, looking a little horrible.
I really didn't expect him to be scared like this, and I felt like I was sweating when I remembered what he said about the rule of 'don't touch gold when the lights go out'.
Legend has it that when the tomb robbers enter the tomb, they will light a candle in the southeast corner before opening the coffin and touching the gold. If the candle is extinguished in the middle of this process, whatever treasure is in the coffin, it must be put back in its original form, and then the coffin lid should be closed and the tomb should be withdrawn, and no one should look back. This is a rule set by the ancestor of the gold touching and the ghosts in the tomb, and the authentic gold school captain has not broken it for thousands of years.
At this time, the candle in the southeast corner was about to be extinguished, and I couldn't help but feel nervous at this time. His behavior is unusual at all, but it makes sense. After all, this is a genuine gold toucher with a gold talisman.
I was so infected by him that I forgot about the lamp slaves around me, and stared at the candle in the southeast corner.
I don't know where the candle was bought by the beard, only the thickness of a finger, and the lonely pestle doesn't look very secure there.
The light of the candle illuminated only a little distance around it, and the rest of the place was pitch black. Still, as if I had agreed with the beard, neither of us used a flashlight to shine into the darkness around the candle.
Joke, people are stretching their necks to blow your lamp, wouldn't you be looking for death if you disturb at this time?
After looking at it for a while, I found that although the candlelight was still beating, it was stunned.
"Could it be that I met a tuberculosis ghost who can't blow the masculine fire that Hu Ye and I lit." The beard looked at it for a while and saw that the candle was not extinguished, and the courage in his heart was sufficient, and he touched his chin and said thoughtfully.
He looked at me and was puzzled.
I thought for a moment and said, "Could it be that some animal down there is passing by to make the candle flame like this?" Don't forget, there's a forest up there, and it's normal for a mouse or fox to be underneath it. ”。
Hearing me say this, Beard felt that it made sense, and grabbed the flashlight and shone it at the southeast corner, where we couldn't see anything in the darkness just now, but it was clear in the light of the flashlight.
Although I was a little mentally prepared, when I saw that scene, I still felt very weird.
I saw that in the corner where the candle light could not shine, there was an animal the size of a wolf dog sitting there, muttering at the candlelight with its long mouth outstretched.
It was a fox, and it was a very rare 'fire fox'. I heard the name Firefox from my grandfather when I was a child. He said: In this world, there are four animals that are the most terrifying in addition to humans, and legend has it that these four animals can cultivate on their own, and finally they can change their human form and ordinary people.
The four animals are, snakes, hedgehogs, foxes, and weasels. When I get to a certain level, I will see passers-by at night and run out and ask, 'Who do you think I look like?' ’。 At this time, what you answer will become. For example, if you say 'looks like Andy Lau', it will really become that kind of person.
At this time, I didn't know what to do when I encountered this situation, but fortunately, Beard was on the side to make an answer for me.
Only listen to him scold; "Damn, I was taken aback by this brute.".
As soon as he finished speaking, he touched his short-barreled shotgun and fired a shot at the fox's position.
The fox seemed to have attained spirituality, and when he saw Beard and draw his gun, he fled to the intersection where we came.
That's fast, and no matter how good the beard marksmanship is, it won't help.
Seeing that the beard didn't hit, he was a little frustrated. This thing is very fine, I'm afraid that I will hold a grudge, and my beard will be unlucky in the future.
Hu Zi said nonchalantly: "Lao Tzu is not even afraid of ghosts, can he be afraid of this handless thing?".
After speaking, without waiting for me to answer, he continued on the side: "You don't have to worry about those four lamp slaves, it's just that the organ is a ghost." There is nothing in this burial chamber, and it is likely to be a burial tomb, and I think the main owner of this 131 will go one level further down. ”。
His simple and concise words directly dispelled my fear of the four lamp slaves, nodded and asked, "I just don't know where the passage from here is to the next floor." ”。
Beard continued; "As I said earlier, there's a partition inside this coffin, and we might get something out of it when we open it. I wonder the entrance to the third floor of 131 is here."
Beard looked at the cotton wool and skeleton inside the coffin, and muttered straight in his mouth: "Let's find a way to get the corpse out of here." Otherwise, even if there is a secret passage, it will be uncomfortable to get into it dirty."
I glanced at the bones inside, and discussed with Beard what to do.
Beard said, the main thing is these cotton wool and the like, the bones have long been turned into sticks, and you can take them however you want.
Finally the beard and I came up with a way to use its sapper shovel to shovel out the contents little by little. Finally, the bottom of the coffin finally leaked out.
It was a bluestone slab, which didn't quite match the coffin. The beard tried to the sapper shovel twice, but found that it was a hollow sound.
"There is a play," he couldn't help but say when he saw this.
At this time, I suddenly realized that the lamp slave who was looking at us turned back at some point.
I patted the beard on the shoulder and asked him what was going on?
The beard said, I should have touched some mechanism here just now, otherwise it would be absolutely impossible to turn around for no reason.
By the time he said this, he had already turned over the stone slab inside the coffin, leaking a hole half a meter wide.
"This should be the entrance to the third floor," I remembered that the dragon's tooth had told me that when he came here to kill someone, he had left the body in a room on the third floor, and he would go to that room to have a look later.
The steps are diagonally downward, and the distance is exactly the opposite direction to where we came, which means that the architectural format of this 131 is in a zigzag shape.
Beard walked unusually carefully in front, and I followed behind with a flashlight.
The two of them slowly walked into the passage, which was more than twice as narrow as the previous one, and the beard looked at the surrounding walls, and scolded his mother when he looked at it.
Just now I noticed that he was paying attention to the walls of this passage and kept looking, as if he was verifying something. At this time, his face changed, I didn't know why, so I asked him why.
He looked at me and said, 'Damn, this is a thief hole. I said how it felt so familiar. ’。
I asked incredulously, "Cave thieves?" It's impossible, what does the tomb on it mean, it's built on top of the robbery hole, isn't it afraid of destroying the feng shui of the tomb? ”。
