Chapter 32: The Missing Corpse

The second master could still explain the rumors in front of him, but this continuous sneer made him dumbfounded. The second master's face was cloudy, looking at the stone hole under his feet, he was silent for a long time and did not speak, and Professor Yang never spoke.

"Look, I'll just say something must be wrong down there!" The big gold chain had a miserable face, and his expression was like crying.

"What the hell, I don't know if I can hold the bullet!" Zhong Quan suddenly separated the crowd, walked to the front of the tomb with a cold snort, pressed down the muzzle of the gun, threw his arm and loaded, and aimed it at the entrance of the tomb and caught fire.

Touch!

A tongue of fire splattered from the muzzle of the gun, and the bullet bounced back and forth in the narrow, curved stone wall, and the sound came far away, and the wind stopped when the shot went down, and the strange laughter disappeared at once.

Zhong put away the rifle expressionlessly, saying that ghosts are also afraid of bullets!

Everyone didn't speak, the atmosphere was solemn, only the sound of wheezing could be heard, and for a long time, the big gold chain laughed dryly, "Old Zhong, good marksmanship, you have been on the battlefield, and you are angry, I didn't expect the ghost to be afraid!" ”

Zhong Quan glanced at him lightly, "I don't know if there are ghosts, but holding a fire at this time will make everyone feel a little easier." ”

"Okay, the things of the ghosts and gods are just vain and strange talk, if you believe it, you have it, and if you don't believe it, you don't have it, don't delay it, go to the tomb!" Professor Yang interrupted the two and said.

"Slow, do you understand the rules?" The second master waved his hand to stop Professor Yang, and took out an oil lamp from his pocket, the oil lamp was made of unknown materials, it had six corners, and a skull was carved under each corner, and there were wind chimes hanging on the corners, rusty, and many places had turned moldy and green.

"What is this?" Ge Zhuang blinked and leaned over to look strange.

"Hexagonal yin lamp, also called ghost head lamp, the guy who eats with the craftsman in the south!" The second master's face was very solemn, he took out the copper lamp and put it on the ground, carefully took out a handful of red rope, gently put it on it, tied a slipknot to each corner, and added a little kerosene to it.

"Hmph, old superstition!" Professor Yang looked disdainful, presumably knowing the second master's intention to do this, he turned his head to the side and said, hurry up, don't let so many comrades wait for you alone.

The second master said that what are you in a hurry, hurry to kiss your mouth? This graveyard is at your feet, and you can't run away!

He poured kerosene into the hole groove of the "hexagonal yin lamp", this thing is only the size of a palm, just in his hand, the internal structure is very exquisitely designed, six corners, each corner has a hole groove, kerosene flows down the hole groove, but six wicks stick out of the hole, and he floats up along the leaky mouth, just like an earthworm drilling sand, stretching out the "tentacles" of the fingernail.

"Second master, you can't be witchcraft, right?" The big gold chain shuddered.

"It's just a small trap!" The second master replied vaguely and asked Zhong Quan for a windproof lighter. Zhong Quan handed the lighter to the second master, and the second master took it, pointed at the wick, and the six tongues of fire jumped up, and the firelight floated straight.

Ge Zhuang and I opened our mouths wide and asked the second master what he was doing?

The second master has a calm face, saying that it is time to tell you about the rules of the tomb, since ancient times, the folk inverted fighting craftsmen are divided into two kinds, a kind of Wen down, a kind of martial arts, we southerners belong to the Wen down, the tomb is particular, just take this "hexagonal yin lamp" as an example, before going to the tomb, you must first light the wick and hang it at the entrance of the cave to test the air quality. The thousand-year-old tomb, the air inside has long been corrupted, whether it can make people breathe or not, the wick of this hexagonal ghost head lamp is specially made, which can be used to identify toxic substances in the air.

The tomb is closed in the ground for an unknown number of years, the air is not circulated, and the corpse will expand and be full of corpse gas before it decays, and then the skin and flesh begin to rot, emitting the corpse gas, and no tomb can maintain a real vacuum environment, but after a long time, it will still cause rotten air and be highly toxic to people.

Another reason is that because of the complex environment under the tomb, many large tombs will set up mechanisms in the tomb road, and first use the ghost head lamp to explore the way, which can facilitate the observation of the environment.

Ge Zhuang pointed to the skulls carved under the six corners, as well as the copper bell, what about this?

"Ghost head, use to suppress evil spirits!" The second master's reply was very concise.

I said, is there really a ghost in the world, didn't you just tell us not to scare ourselves?

The second master shook his head and said, "Whether there are ghosts or not, who can tell?" In short, the craftsmen of the previous generation set this rule, we have to abide by it, modern people are not very particular, the inverted bucket is no longer divided into the north and south sects, see the ancient tomb on the *, strange detection instruments, how can it be compared to the ancestors? ”

The exquisiteness of the inverted bucket people, this is called a little yin lamp!

Professor Yang said that you should not keep preaching your old-fashioned feudal superstitions, and it is important to do the right thing.

The second master smiled, didn't say anything, lightly carried the red thread head in his hand, and slowly hung the copper lamp at the six corners at the entrance of the hole, and poked it out little by little.

The second master's hand was very flat, and the six fire candle heads were all placed in parallel, and no kerosene was spilled, and when the ghost head lamp hung down half a meter, I clearly saw that the six fires were beating and were pressed into small dots the size of mung beans.

The candle flame was still burning quietly, but the light emitted from it had turned a green color, and there was no temperature at all, but it was cold!

The second master's face changed immediately, and he tried three times in a row, and every time the ghost head lamp sank into the hole for about half a meter, the flames on the wick would turn green, and the copper bells shook together, and several red lines swayed up and down like convulsions.

"This tomb is not allowed to be!" This time, the second master did not hesitate, he simply put away the ghost head lamp, and stood up expressionlessly, "Sima Nan, pack up your things and go back with me!" ”

"Stop!" Professor Yang's face changed suddenly, and said What do you mean, old terrier, it took so much effort to find the entrance to the tomb, and a comrade died in the scientific expedition team, if you can't say it, you can't go down?

The second master squinted at the corner of his eyes and looked at him with his head tilted, "No one wants to stop you from going to the tomb, you can go down by yourself if you want to, in short, don't drag these young people to accompany you to death!" ”

Professor Yang said that you are singing against me, don't forget how you came out, and do you plan to hold the "iron rice bowl" in the labor reform team?

The second master didn't smile, "It's better than dying here!" ”

I raised my hand weakly and said Second Master, why can't I say it?

"Can't go down!" The second master pointed to the ghost head lamp in his hand, looked at me and said, "The older generation of craftsmen will light the yin lamp before going down, in addition to visiting the tomb, the yin lamp also has a special idea, that is, it can attract the dead soul, just now the copper lamp turned green, and the soul bell is shaking so badly, in this case, even if you are too poor to wear pants, you must not go to the tomb?" ”

Professor Yang sneered, "Old terrier, put away your crooked heresy, you can't engage in construction with your bare ass, you can think about what the consequences of the rebellion are." ”

The second master said Yo he, your big hat is buttoned quite loudly, this is not the meeting of six years, what kind of rebellion, life, whose life do you want to change?

The two old men were-for-tat, Ge Zhuang hurriedly came up and said to the mud, saying that the two of you, don't quarrel with a lot of age, if you want me to come, it's a pity not to go down and take a look, right?

The second master had a dark face, and was about to scold him, when an exclamation came from behind Leng Buding, who had changed his tone, but he planned everyone's words, "Look, there are ghosts...... What a ghost! ”

Professor Yang was upset, and glared at the big gold chain fiercely, "You still recommend yourself, saying that your ancestors are upside down, what the hell, where is the ghost?" You'd let him come out and see me!" ”

"No...... Isn't it, gentlemen, haven't you noticed? ”

The big gold chain seemed to be stuck in something, and even the tone of his speech changed, and he pointed behind him tremblingly, "Little gold...... Corpse...... The corpse is gone! ”
