As I was thinking, Wei Lin, who was beside me, stepped back, stared left and right at the strange pattern on the wall, and suddenly said to me, "Dude, do you think this symbol looks like... Spell? ”

"Charms!?" I was amazed, and my mind suddenly brightened.

Wei Lin exclaimed when he saw me, thinking that I didn't understand, so he said: "Actually, I just think it's like, you should have also watched zombie movies, I think this thing is very similar to the spell drawn by Uncle Ying, although I can't understand it, but the main thing is that this one is too similar, I am a little impressed." ”

As he spoke, Wei Lin shone his flashlight in the middle of the symbol, and followed the long path of the symbol to make a gesture.

Indeed, I agree with what Wei Lin said, the reason why I felt familiar before was that I had seen it in a zombie movie, but I didn't think about it for a while, so I didn't remember it.

Perhaps it was my exclamation that caught my cousin's attention, and at the end of the job, he handed over the matter of the person to the other police and walked over to us.

Naturally, my cousin saw the mysterious symbol on the wall, and when I saw him standing beside us, I couldn't help but ask him, "Do you know what this thing is?" ”

"Didn't you guess it, it's a charm." The cousin said indifferently.

"Is it really a charm?"

Seeing my cousin say this, I finally felt a little convinced, but how could there be such a thing as a charm in the tomb?

"Why are there spells drawn here, maybe there's zombies or something like that?" Wellin swallowed to ease his tension.

There was a time when domestic zombie movies became so popular that everyone began to know that the so-called charms were used to defeat ghosts and zombies, and when they thought of charms, they would associate zombies.

The cousin shook his head: "You have watched a lot of zombie movies, but it does have a bit of Taoist meaning." Then he explained: "The so-called mantra has actually been recorded since the time of the Yellow Emperor a long time ago, when there was a position called Zhu You, you should know when you study history, the spell is the blessing of the sorcerer at that time when he sacrificed to the gods, and the original mantra was to use words to express to the gods the people to be punished, hoping that the gods would punish them!" ”

"And the charm is indeed created by Taoism, the origin is in the ancient witch Zhu, but the prevalence was in the Eastern Han Dynasty began to prevail, and the use is also varied, such as driving away evil spirits, calming the mind, catching ghosts and eliminating demons, etc., the painting method is also varied, no longer limited to a small range."

After listening to my cousin talk about the origin of the charm, it did teach us a lesson, but he didn't seem to get to the point.

"And what exactly is the meaning of this painting on the wall?" I asked him straight to the point.

The cousin looked at the charm on the wall and smacked his mouth, just at this time all the police had come down and reported to the cousin.

"I'll tell you later." Dropping these words, the cousin began to walk towards them.

My cousin whetted our appetites again, and Wei Lin and I glanced at each other, and we could only honestly follow along.

After everyone came down, the cousin used the walkie-talkie to report the safety to Huang Xuan above, and asked the policemen who came down to simply assemble and line up, and then ordered the task, in fact, the task was very simple, one of them followed the cousin to walk in front to assist the cousin, and the remaining four people only needed to protect our safety.

To be honest, Wei Lin and I were quite embarrassed, and we always felt that we were holding back, but fortunately they didn't show any impatience, and although we didn't say anything to us after getting along, we still showed a kind smile.

After the task was assigned, my cousin took us inside, it was dark in front of us, and it was terrifyingly quiet, even if I was ready and there were people around to protect me, I still couldn't help but be nervous, this is the natural reaction of the body, not how scared I am, but the subconscious psychology of people in such an environment.

Fortunately, we have prepared a sufficient light source this time, eight searchlights can illuminate all directions around us, and we are not afraid of any sudden danger, light is always something that human beings rely on for survival.

We left the entrance of the cave where we came, and my cousin led us along the traces of footprints on the ground, and when I walked to this side, I finally realized why it was pitch black before I saw this side, and I couldn't even see the light, because the road was not a straight road, and after walking to this side, the direction of the road began to bend slowly to the right against the wall, and all I saw was this pitch-black stone wall, which gave me a deep black illusion after the light was refracted by light.

"Why is the stone wall black?"

In the silent space, even the sound of footsteps was unusually clear, so even Wei Lin's whispering could be heard.

"It's not black, the thing painted on it was originally red, but after a long time and the dampness in the hole, it slowly became similar to black." The cousin who walked at the front explained to us.

I touched the surface of the stone wall with my hand, and I did feel a layer of black dirt from the surface, and after the dirt was removed, the red stone wall gradually revealed, like a magma-like pattern.

"What are these?" I asked curiously.

"Cinnabar." The cousin glanced at it and said indifferently.

"Cinnabar?"

"Oh, yes!" My cousin stopped, as if he remembered something, and said to me: "I forgot to explain it to you before, didn't you ask me what the charm was before, in fact, it was a charm to suppress evil spirits, and this wall of cinnabar is also the same reason, cinnabar is an important prop for drawing talismans in Taoism, because they think that cinnabar is something that can restrain evil spirits!" ”

After my cousin explained lightly, he took a flashlight and observed the environment around the passage, not paying any attention to us looking at each other behind him.

"You mean, this whole wall is covered with cinnabar?"

I noticed that my cousin said the word "full wall", and my cousin nodded and said, "Not only this stone wall, but the stone wall of this entire passage should be covered with cinnabar." ”

"Brother Hu, there shouldn't be zongzi in here, right?" One of the policemen finally couldn't help but ask his cousin, some time ago, a tomb robbery novel was very popular, and the policeman was probably also a fan of this novel, so he said "zongzi" when he opened his mouth.

As soon as the words fell, several policemen became a little nervous, and indeed such an environment and the things that my cousin said just now are easy to make people think about something.

"Wouldn't it? This... Is there really one here? Welling squeezed around me in fright, as if he would feel safe if he was closer, and he had mentioned this before, and tension spread.

The cousin smiled and said lightly: "Don't worry, this tomb is not buried, and there will be no zongzi you said." ”

"Not burying people? That... ”

"Alright, let's keep going, I guess we'll be to the tomb soon."

Without waiting for the policeman to finish asking, the cousin didn't explain much and signaled them to continue walking forward, seeing that the cousin didn't say much, they didn't dare to ask more, so they could only follow behind and move forward silently.

As I walked slowly, I could realize that the whole walkway seemed to be walking around this mountain, how to describe it, it was like we were going around a cylinder, and there was only this way, we could only go all the way to the end, I could probably guess in my heart that we should have circled around this space, and the place around us may be the center of the whole tomb.
