Chapter 171: Corpse Demon Bones (Third Watch)
"Two of my students." Professor Leung shook his head and smiled wryly as he compared the photographs with the paintings on the partition.
"Where did they get this picture? How can it be exactly the same? ”
"The two of them are two mountaineering enthusiasts, during this time on vacation, they went to the mountains as a travel friend, accidentally discovered this cave, the two of them went in to take a look, and found that there are very ancient petroglyphs in it, which should be a very long time ago human life."
Professor Liang paused for a moment and continued: "Because of the lack of equipment, the two of them didn't dare to go too deep, so they could only take two photos and send them to me after leaving the mountainous area, wanting me to apply for funds from above and organize people to go over to conduct archaeology. ”
"Archaeology? I don't think I can get any famous, and it's probably related to these weird things. I looked at Professor Liang. Said with a serious face.
"I know, too, but they've already applied and sent me a photo, just to talk to me." Professor Liang looked helpless.
"Huh?!" I can't understand why Professor Liang's two students here feel more angry than him?
I probably saw what I was thinking. Professor Liang explained with a wry smile: "I am busy with things, and many trivial procedures cannot be done personally, so I gave them the account and password of my intranet, and as long as there is a suitable archaeological topic, I will let them submit the application directly in my name." After the two of them found out about the cave, they were very excited, and they submitted it directly, and only now did they remember to say hello to me, the application has been approved, and I can't do it even if I want to revoke it now. ”
This is embarrassing, how can anyone jump into it knowing that it is a pit? Professor Liang was miserable by his own students this time.
What's more, all this is so coincidental, I just scraped the stain on the partition to reveal the landscape painting on it, and Professor Liang's students sent the same photo, which cannot be described as a coincidence at all, more like someone arranged.
When I told Professor Liang about my thoughts, Professor Liang's face became even more bitter: "Who said it wasn't? By such a coincidence, I now feel like the cave is a trap, waiting for us to jump. Forget it, I'd better find a way to cancel this archaeological operation. ”
Not to mention the archaeological action in the cave over there, the archaeological site in the basement in front of me is also a mess, and none of the things that come out of it can be taken away, and all of them must be burned.
In fact, even if he took it away and handed it over, Professor Liang couldn't explain it: who would believe that the brand-new picture scroll painted with high-rise buildings, airplanes and trains is a cultural relic? There's really no other way to deal with these things than to burn them.
At last everything was carried out and piled up in the courtyard, and the coffin was poured with kerosene, and a lot of firewood was piled up, and the bones of the unspeakable man or monster were put into the coffin, and the animal skin paintings were thrown in, and the partitions were leaned sideways against it, ready to be burned together.
As the match was thrown, the flame suddenly burst into flames, and because of the poor air circulation and insufficient oxygen supply, the kerosene in the coffin burned with thick black smoke, and in a trance, I almost thought that it was the black soul flame burning in front of me.
With the high temperature, the landscape paintings on the partition quickly faded and soon disappeared, and could be replaced. are seven shining dots that make up the shape of a Big Dipper.
Professor Liang turned his head and said to me in disbelief, "Ji Zang, have you seen it?" That's the Big Dipper! ”
"See, is there anything special about the Big Dipper?" I only know that the Big Dipper is used to orient at night, and I really don't understand what it means to have the Big Dipper on the partition in the coffin.
"You should know that! The Big Dipper belongs to the stars that Taoists are very interested in, representing the cycle of life and death, engraved on the bottom of the coffin with the Big Dipper, the ancients said that the dead can be resurrected, and those who are qualified to engrave the Big Dipper are quite respectable people. Professor Liang explained.
Resurrection?
This word is too sensitive for me, because now there is a demon god who is about to be resurrected, like a mountain weighing on my heart, and I have been breathless, and if I can't find the corpse demon and slaughter her before he is resurrected, then I will have no hope.
I didn't continue to discuss the Big Dipper, just stared straight at the ancient coffin in the courtyard that was blazing.
This coffin is indeed very strange. Whether it was the partition, or the bones in the ancient coffin, the animal skin painting, had been holding on in the raging flames for more than ten minutes, but there was still no sign of burning. Except for the disappearance of the landscape painting on the partition and its replacement with the Big Dipper, there was no damage or change.
"Why hasn't it burned yet? What if I can't burn it? This time it was Dean Sun who spoke, and he was also quite nervous.
"Let's wait until the kerosene is burned. If it doesn't change, try to destroy it with electric shocks, or pour filth on it, break the supernatural power, and then burn it. ”
While talking. The wooden partition that was scorched by the flames suddenly made a crisp sound, and I immediately turned my head to look, only to see that one of the Big Dipper stars above was cracked.
"Evil Sect! It's not really a gem or a pearl. It's just a painted pattern, how can it shatter? Sun Chao couldn't help but complain.
I knew in my heart that the reason why the partition did not burn was because there was some force protecting it, and this power was constantly burning under the flames at this moment. Finally it began to crack, and when the Big Dipper above all cracked, everything in the partition and the ancient coffin would be turned to ashes by the flames.
As I stared at the partition in the flames, I suddenly noticed that the scene in front of me seemed a little hazy. It looks like ripples on the surface of the water.
Then, a stream of heat rushed into my left eye, causing me to feel a tingling pain, and I couldn't help but close my eyes and reach out to rub it. When I opened my eyes again, I found myself standing at the mouth of a cave, with the loud thud of a waterfall falling into a pool behind me.
Where is this? I was in a state of panic until I saw the quaint petroglyphs painted on the rock wall, and then looked back at the waterfall outside the cave. Suddenly I realized that this should be the landscape painting on the partition.
But the question is, how did I suddenly come here, wasn't I in a mental hospital, burning this partition, and the corpses in the ancient coffin?
Just when I couldn't figure it out, a group of people wearing grimace masks suddenly walked past me, led by the high priest, and my aunt was also following him.
As they walked past me, their bodies touched me. But like a phantom, it passed directly through it, making me understand that these are probably phantoms, and I am likely to encounter a phantom again.
A crowd of people carrying torches. There were also six strong men carrying three large jars, walking towards the depths of the cave, and I thought about it for a moment, knowing that what I was experiencing at the moment was probably another illusion, even if it was really in any danger. Also sober up from hallucinations, there will be no problems.
So I hurried after him, wanting to see what the High Priest was going to do, for they would not find me anyway, and they would not have been able to kill me. Just take a look, it shouldn't be a problem.
The cave meandered, and I followed the high priest and them, and after walking a long way, I stopped in a large hall, and in the center of the hall lay a coffin, the material of which and the pattern carved on it, looked like the one we had dug out of the basement.
The high priest came to the coffin and beckoned some of the great men to carry the jar to the coffin and pour it into it.
Red blood flowed out of the jar and poured into the coffin, and the bloody breath suddenly spread.
I cautiously stepped forward and looked into the coffin, only to see a white skeleton lying inside, and the bone on one of my feet was still missing. The sternum and ribs were also missing, and they looked weak.
I immediately understood that this white bone was the corpse demon, because her feet were broken a lot when they were suppressed by Aunt Xue. So it hasn't recovered yet, and as for the missing sternum and ribs, it's likely to be Ji Ling's arm.
The high priest beckoned to the people, poured the blood of the three jars into the coffin, and the people sat around the coffin and began to recite the obscure incantation.
I knew that they were helping the corpse demon heal his wounds, so I walked over to the coffin, visualized my demon god's left hand, and prepared to crush the corpse demon's head.
Just as my pitch-black Demon God's left hand finally succeeded in visualizing and was about to grasp the blood-soaked corpse demon skull, a hand suddenly put on my shoulder: "What are you doing?" ”
