Chapter 396: Shezi Flower
The nearby turbulent wind pressed the ground and blew over, and lifted the puppet into the air, and saw the puppet swinging a few times in mid-air, and then floated towards Li Huaishan.
I hurriedly pulled Li Huaishan behind me, and at this time, the wind changed again, blowing the puppet to another place.
The figure I saw on the plank road for the first time, maybe it was also such a puppet, and now I don't know how many things like this are in the tomb, I don't dare to stay longer, so I hurriedly walked forward with Li Huaishan.
What happened just now had a great impact on Li Huaishan, and he staggered and followed me for a while before he completely eased up.
He patted my arm in the back: "Don't hold me all the time, I'm fine." â
As he spoke, he picked up his flashlight again and flashed the light forward.
I glanced back and felt that the puppet hadn't followed, so I breathed a sigh of relief and asked Li Huaishan: "Is the current direction still right?" â
All my attention was on the puppet, and I don't know if I had shifted in the meantime, after all, in the crypt shrouded in darkness on all sides, my sense of direction was almost gone.
Li Huaishan nodded: "Yes, yes, but I don't know why, I always feel that we should turn back." â
Although he said this, Li Huaishan still walked forward with his steps.
Even the air in the tomb is full of evil, and if you go forward, you will definitely encounter danger, but since you have entered, there is no turning back.
The puppet never appeared again, and as it went deeper, at first there were still large natural potholes on the ground, but in the second half of the cave, there were smooth stone bricks on the ground, and there was an extremely pungent fragrance in the air.
That's a kind of ...... The smell is similar to that of inferior cosmetics, like a lot of flavor mixed with lard, giving people a very greasy feeling.
In addition, the air is becoming more and more humid, and the moisture mixed with this fragrance pours into the nose and throat, and it feels like a thick layer of oil has been touched in the nostrils and throat, and it is very difficult to breathe.
After walking a short distance along the stone brick road, when Li Huaishan shook his flashlight, we saw a person lying in the miserable white beam.
Li Huaishan smacked his lips: "It can't be a mosquito, right?" â
I shook my head, didn't speak, pulled out the pistol from my waist, and pulled Li Huaishan to slow down.
It wasn't until we got closer that we could see clearly that what Chen had fallen to the ground was just a shriveled camouflage uniform.
The jacket, trousers, and leather boots seem to have been deliberately arranged, and from a distance, it looks like a person lying on the ground in the shape of a "big", and next to this suit, there is also a pistol and some empty bullet casings.
I picked up the gun and looked at it, it was loaded, half of the bullets in the magazine were empty, and there were four rounds left.
Li Huaishan took out his flying claws, hooked the clothes on the ground with his claws and looked at them carefully, and said to me: "It is full of grease, and the fragrance can be strong." â
I handed the pistol to Li Huaishan, took out two boxes of ammunition from my backpack, and handed them to him: "Will you use it?" â
Li Huaishan skillfully withdrew the bullet in the chamber, unloaded the magazine, and said while filling the bullet: "I have played simulation, it is estimated that the recoil is different, and the others, there is no difference, right?" â
I said, "These guns are not genuine, I don't know if there will be problems, you should be careful when you use them." â
Li Huaishan nodded, and pinned the pistol with good bullets on his waist.
I grabbed the camouflage uniform on the ground and looked at it, and in the collar and cuffs, I could indeed see a thick layer of grease, which not only exuded an unusually pungent fragrance, but also had a slight sour smell of sweat.
It gave me a bad feeling that maybe not so long ago, there was a man lying here, but I don't know what had eaten up his flesh and bones in an instant, leaving only this soft and crumbling set of clothes.
Li Huaishan probably had the same idea, he put away the bullet box, and muttered to himself: "I don't know what is in this tomb." â
I frowned, fumbled into the pocket of my camouflage uniform, and found only a driver's license and a small Luoyang shovel with a narrow finger.
Li Huaishan: "Tomb robbers? â
I nodded, "I think it's one of them." â
After speaking, I put away the Luoyang shovel and driver's license, patted Li Huaishan on the shoulder, and motioned him to move on.
Li Huaishan is now eager to stay in the same place for a while, and it has been more than five hours since he entered the tomb, and he was tired from climbing the mountains and mountains, and he was climbing the plank road just now, and he was shrinking his body in the narrow tunnel, Li Huaishan's physical strength was tight, and he could no longer bear it.
But the empty camouflage uniforms on the ground really made me a little uneasy, and I would rather walk a little longer, and I didn't want to stay in this kind of place.
Li Huaishan's exhaustion was all written on his face, but he still gritted his teeth and forcibly supported his body and walked forward.
A little farther away from the pile of clothes, the fragrance in the air was a little lighter, Li Huaishan lit up, and the beam illuminated the three stone statues standing in front of us, I felt that there was no evil spirit on the stone statues, so I said to Li Huaishan: "Go over there and take a rest." â
Li Huaishan let out a long breath as if he had been amnestied, but he still didn't say anything.
When I arrived at the stone statue, I observed the surrounding environment again by relying on the vision of the quicksand of the Qi Sea, and there was nothing abnormal for the time being.
Li Huaishan knotted his backpack, sat on the ground, took a few breaths, and took out a few energy bars from his backpack and threw them to me.
I reached out to catch what he had thrown at me, gently tearing open the package as I carefully examined the three stone statues in front of me.
In the middle is a stone sculpture carrying a stele, and on the left and right sides of it, there is a two-meter-high seated statue of the bĂŹĂ n.
Baxia and ç´ç´, are two of the nine sons of the dragon, Baxia, also called čľĺą (bĂŹ xĂŹ), similar in appearance and turtle, legend can carry the top of the mountain, when the monument was erected in ancient times, it was often used as the base of its image, and the tortoise shell under the tyrant carried the monument. It is the seventh son of Ruilong, and its appearance resembles a tiger, because it is said that this auspicious beast likes to fight, so it is often engraved with its head on the ancient yamen or prison door.
These two legendary ancient beasts, which have been worshiped by people in all dynasties, have appeared in the tomb, but they give people a feeling of being out of place with the environment.
Li Huaishan was sitting behind the stele at this time, he gently chewed the energy bar in his mouth, and raised his finger to point at the stele: "There are words on the back." â
I turned to the back of the stele, and the flashlight shone on the back of the stele, and there were indeed many dense small characters engraved on it, but due to perennial decay, many of the handwriting was no longer legible, and I could only speculate on the content of the inscription by the words that were still recognizable today.
The general meaning of this inscription should be that in the early Ming Dynasty, there was a local Gu girl with a high cultivation, the first half of the Gu girl said that the Gu girl helped the nearby villagers to eradicate the bullies when she was young, and the latter said that the Gu girl's temperament changed greatly after the age of the sixtieth year, in order to retain her youth, she had captured the newborn baby girl everywhere and used the baby's blood to stay on her face.
Due to the illegible handwriting in the large area, I couldn't guess why the Gu girl had such a change, but I vaguely saw the words "Shezi Flower", "Flower Corpse", and "Yin".
At the end of the inscription, it is said that in order to deal with the Gu girl, the local people invited a wandering Taoist from the outside, and the Taoist built such a tomb in the canyon in order to suppress the Gu girl, and a stone tower was established in the tomb, and the Gu girl and the Shezihua were pressed inside, and the people who entered the tomb by mistake were reminded not to approach the stone tower to avoid waking up the Shezihua.
The inscription even states where the treasure in the tomb is, telling the tomb robbers who enter the place to "take the treasure, and the Futu is not close".
This means that we know that you are here to find the treasure, so tell you where the treasure is, and when you take your things, you leave quickly, and do not move the stone tower.
Li Huaishan asked beside him: "What is Shezihua?" â
"It is the flower on the other side of the Huangquan Road, also called Manzhu Shahua, legend has it that this kind of words bloom for 3,000 years, and the leaves fall for 3,000 years, and when they bloom and thank, they are reincarnated for 6,000 years." I still swept the light on the inscription and responded: "The Shezihua suppressed in this tomb is likely to have undergone a corpse mutiny. â
Li Huaishan: "Can plants still be corpses? â
I nodded: "Because the lifespan of Shezihua is too long, and it is nourished by the Yin Qi of Huangquan all year round, it is easy to cultivate the essence element. If in the ninety-ninth year of the defoliation period, the essence cultivated by this shezi flower still does not dissipate, and the flower branches and roots will be degraded. â
Li Huaishan: "But this thing ...... It should have been born in the underworld, how did you come to the yang world? â
I let out a cloudy breath and said, "I don't know how they came to the Yang World. However, it is recorded in the classics of the family that in the Sui and Tang dynasties, there was a corpse of Shezihua in Luoyang, and Zhang Tianshi of Longhu Mountain was in Luoyang at that time. â
Li Huaishan scratched his scalp: "Flower corpse? â
"The old man's books don't say what the flower corpse is." I replied and looked around again, and in the field of vision of the quicksand of the Qi Sea, the tomb was still as quiet as ever.
In such a place, no matter what I do, I have to be cautious, and when Li Huaishan and I talk and eat, we must also deliberately keep our voices low, for fear that the noise will affect my hearing so much that I can't perceive the approaching danger.
After resting for about forty minutes, when Li Huaishan's physical strength had recovered most of it, we didn't dare to continue to delay, packed up our things, and walked towards the darkness again.
I have a vague premonition that the ultimate goal of the mosquito gang may be the Shezihua mentioned in the inscription, but I can't figure it out, these people who can't even find the entrance to the tomb should not have read the inscription earlier, how do they know what is pressed in the tomb?
