Chapter 33: The Soul Terrace
If you want to say that Zhang Guozhong is a newborn calf, then Lao Liu Tou can be regarded as an old fritter. First, draw two talismans and stick them on the two of them, so that the evil spirit will attack the talisman first, so that you can buy a little time to meet the enemy or escape; Moreover, watching Zhang Guozhong swaggering towards the center of the cave, Lao Liu Tou dragged him to the edge of the cave. Because if there is a trap in this place, it must be in the middle, and it is slightly safer to walk against the wall.
Under the signal of Lao Liutou, Zhang Guozhong had to probe his feet forward first every step he took, and stepped on whether there was an empty chamber, so as not to fall into the trap. Because both sides of the cave are full of natural stalactites, so there is no need to worry about any darts and arrows, this natural cave, in addition to the ground is full of gravel slag, if there is a little artificial trace on the wall will be obvious.
After walking for about ten meters, Zhang Guozhong suddenly found that the wall of the cave suddenly went inward, and it turned out that the hole was in the shape of a "convex", and the place where they came in was at the top of the "convex" character.
It was always dark where the flashlight could shine, and Lao Liu Tou hung the folding shovel on his waist at the moment, took out the compass from his bag, and looked at the compass while following Zhang Guozhong. I don't know what's in this cave, the compass is always rambling.
As he walked, Zhang Guozhong suddenly saw a light in front of him, like a flashlight. There is indeed something strange in this hole, it stands to reason that the strange shape of this flashlight should also be a military flashlight, and the brightness is not weak, but in this hole, the light range seems to be very short, through the limited flashlight light observation, there seems to be a fog in this hole, sometimes Zhang Guozhong if he walks faster, look at the flashlight of the old Liu Tou behind, only a few meters away, but it seems very weak.
"Mr. Qin!" Zhang Guozhong yelled.
There was no answer on the other side.
Zhang Guozhong quickened his pace slightly at this time, and found that Qin Ge was standing behind a stone pillar and looking out.
"Have you changed your mind?" Qin Ge said coldly.
"Why don't you talk back?" Zhang Guozhong's voice trembled.
"Reply? What's the reply? Qin Ge's face was full of puzzlement.
"I shouted to you, you can't hear you so close!" Zhang Guozhong said sharply.
"You called me?" Qin Ge's voice also trembled, "So the person just now, it's not you?" ”
"Just now...? Just now... What people!? Lao Liu Tou walked up to him with a cold sweat on his face and said in a low voice.
It turned out that Lao Liu's compass shook violently just now, and Lao Liu's compass shook in horror. To tell the truth, Lao Liu Tou is not afraid of death, which is false, but what is even more fatal is that he is more reluctant to have a room of treasures at home than death.
It turned out that after Qin Ge walked into the cave by himself, he also knew the truth of walking on the side, and when he walked along the wall to the inside of the "convex" shape, he suddenly saw a person within the scope of the flashlight, this person's clothes were not very clear, but from the body shape, it was definitely not Li Erzhuang, there was no one in a flash, Qin Ge shouted twice, but there was no response, so he quickly chased after it, and when he chased to the place of this stone pillar, the person could no longer be found.
"Zhang Zhangjiao, I want to ask a question, you must answer it seriously..."Qin Ge wiped his sweat and ignored Lao Liu, "In this world, are there really ghosts...?" ”
"Mr. Qin, this hole is very evil, I hope you can go out with us, let's think about it in the long run!" Zhang Guozhong did not answer Qin Ge's question.
After being silent for a while, Qin Ge gradually calmed down, the strange figure just now really gave him a big shock.
"Okay..."Qin Ge was helpless.
The three of them turned their heads and walked back, but the more they walked, the more wrong they became, and as they walked, Qin Ge suddenly shouted without confidence.
"Don't go!" Qin Ge booed.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Guozhong and Lao Liu Tou also felt that something was wrong, they only walked a few steps when they came, why did they go back and walk for so long and not see the entrance of the cave?
"This pillar... This pillar is the pillar you just found me..."
The stalactite pillars have different shapes, and this strange pillar Zhang Guozhong and Lao Liu Tou also saw it just now, and there will be no mistake.
"Hell... Ghost hits the wall! Old Liu Tou seemed to be about to have a seizure, "You... Why do you have to come in!? Old Liu Tou yelled at Qin Ge.
Ghost hitting the wall is a folk saying, and often happens in places similar to cemeteries and execution grounds, mostly at night, when people who encounter ghosts hitting the wall, they will keep going around the same place, but the person concerned will feel that he has always walked in a straight line. There is no scientific explanation for this phenomenon, and the explanation in Maoshan is only a "ghost puzzle", and the way to solve it is to turn 90 degrees along the original direction, although the direction may be wrong, but it can get out of this endless circle.
Seizures are seizures, but staying where they are is not always a solution, at this moment the three of them are extremely nervous, and they simply turn around and walk to the middle of the cave.
After this walk, I found that the hole was not big, at most two or three hundred square meters, and a few people walked to the opposite wall in a few steps.
Qin Ge took out his compass, "The place we came from is in the north, go here." ”
Old Liu Tou ignored him, looking at his compass intently, and suddenly the compass needle shook violently.
"Stop!" Old Liu Tou shouted, and when he shouted, Qin Ge and Zhang Guozhong immediately picked up the guy.
"Slow down..."Old Liu Tou swallowed and looked around to see if there was any movement.
At this time, Zhang Guozhong, who was walking in the front, suddenly tripped over something under his feet, plopped and fell on his horse.
A few flashlights immediately focused on the place where Zhang Guozhong stumbled, and Lao Liu Tou and Zhang Guozhong didn't feel anything, but Qin Ge covered his mouth with his hand and almost vomited.
I saw a person obliquely embedded in the ground, looking at the clothes that had been corroded and tattered, it should be an ancient person, because of the characteristics of the qi veins of "falling off the cliff", so although the clothes were rotten, but the person was not completely rotten, and he still maintained the expression of pain before death, with his mouth open, half of his face obliquely buried in the soil, and half of his face exposed, but the two eyes were already black holes.
"Country... Guozhong..."Old Liu Tou's tone was already choked, "This... It's a night... Soul... Platform...! Old Liu Tou sighed word by word, and glared at Qin Ge viciously.
In ancient times, any emperor built a mausoleum, all the craftsmen would be executed or buried with them to keep secrets, and the grievances of these unjust dead people can be condensed for thousands of years, and anyone who violates the mausoleum will be attacked by these resentful spirits first, which forms a natural barrier to protect the tomb.
In the Sui and Tang dynasties, there were even some masters who forgot their righteousness for profit, and directly used this principle to repair tombs, and simply did not repair traps, so that the strong men directly repaired the tombs that were extremely difficult to build between the mountains and mountains, and then killed or sealed these strong men directly, and then arranged some formations around the periphery, or built a canal to artificially create a "dead land", or used some other methods to strengthen the grievances of these resentful spirits, so as to strangle the tombs, which saved both cost and time.
Later generations of people for this lack of virtue method named "soul method", if this method is applied, or it happens that this principle has worked, if it is a tomb, it is called a soul mound, if it is a hole, it is called "soul cave", and now it is a town with a "chisel dragon array", which should naturally be called "soul platform".
Following the direction in which the corpse was embedded in the ground, the three of them carefully shone it on the ground with a flashlight, and at this time they couldn't help but be shocked, on the ground, three or three were human faces, and half of some faces were buried in the ground, and only a row of teeth were exposed on the ground.
"Ahh Qin Ge shouted, Zhang Guozhong and Lao Liu Tou hurriedly turned around, what could scare Qin Ge out was terrible...
Unexpectedly, what Qin Ge encountered was a corpse that was not buried in the ground, this corpse was lying on the ground, and a sharp blade was inserted vertically from the front chest, obviously killed by others.
Old Liu Tou leaned down and looked at it carefully with a flashlight, "It seems... It's the dress of the Ming Dynasty..."
"It can't be!" Qin Ge also bowed down, only to see that this person was wearing a crown of loyalty and a black satin robe, and from the hat alone, it could already be concluded that he was an official of the Ming Dynasty at the level of "from the third grade" or higher.
Four or five meters away directly opposite the corpse of this Ming Dynasty official, Zhang Guozhong found another corpse that seemed to be a Ming Dynasty official, but this corpse was different from the previous corpses, the decay was very serious, except for the clothes that were barely recognizable, the body was basically only white bones, and a dagger was inserted between the ribs, as if it was dying with the person opposite.
"Master Qin, someone in this place arrived before us..."Old Liu Tou said sarcastically, constantly fiddling with the dagger pulled out of the ribs of this dead corpse of the Ming Dynasty.
Qin Ge had a gloomy face at this time, didn't say a word, and carefully touched the clothes of the corpse of this Ming Dynasty official with his hands.
"Master Qin, it's too late for us to come..."Old Liu Tou was also looking everywhere at the moment, squatting on a one-foot-square, just over an inch above the ground, but empty.
Qin Ge came over, only to see that Lao Liu Tou was wiping the mud on the stone platform with his hands, and a string of strange patterns gradually appeared.
"Odd... Idol... Kun Gen, Gan, Xin..."Old Liu Tou muttered.
"Mr. Liu, your words... What is the meaning? Qin Ge said slowly.
"Master Qin, look, this is the Chisel Dragon Array Town, which is empty at the moment." Old Liu Tou stroked the stone platform with his hand, still thinking about the mystery.
"This may be the place where the jade of the Wang family is placed." Qin Ge didn't think so, took out his camera, pointed it at the town platform and clicked, under the strong light of the camera's flash, a black shadow quickly flashed in a place where the flashlight couldn't shine.
"There is a situation!" This flash did not escape Zhang Guozhong's eyes, just as Zhang Guozhong put the dagger across his chest and posed, he only felt a gust of wind blowing on his neck, turned around coldly, and slashed away, only to see a black shadow quickly dodge, and then snorted, retreating a few meters away from him.
Bang two gunshots, Qin Ge also stood up, Lao Liu Tou picked up the folding shovel in his hand, and folded out the small pickaxe on the other side of the shovel handle, and several flashlights shone everywhere for a long time.
Zhang Guozhong's flashlight was fixed on the figure opposite, it was Li Erzhuang, but unlike the previous Li Erzhuang, Li Erzhuang was standing on his legs at this moment, instead of landing on all fours, and the expression on his face seemed to be smiling, constantly grinding his teeth.
Qin Ge had just turned the muzzle of the gun to Li Erzhuang, and suddenly felt a gust of wind in his back, Qin Ge instinctively leaned forward, and the things in the backpack behind him fell to the ground with a bang, Qin Ge turned around, only to see a person dressed as a mountain man standing opposite him, with an expression exactly the same as Li Erzhuang, staring at himself with his teeth bared.
"How... Two...!? "Old Liu Tou is also stupid.
