Chapter 054: The Tomb of the Shadows is Difficult
"This ghost general is loyal." Huang Shanjun sighed.
Zhang Heng came over holding his chest and said, "If you can let him guard the tomb, he must be the most trusted soldier of the tomb owner during his lifetime." ”
As he spoke, he pulled me up.
When he touched me, I instinctively avoided it, but he grabbed my wrist hard, he pinched my tiger's mouth, slightly forced, stared at me and asked, "Congcong, you are not feeling well?" ”
I knew he was testing me, and the moment he stabbed the ghost general behind the ear still made him doubt me.
I cried and said, "There's no place on my body that doesn't hurt, and it scared me to death just now." ”
He let go of me, smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, you'll see this kind of scene a lot in the future." ”
I hurriedly waved my hand, "Don't do it, I'll be really scared to death if I come two more times, Brother Zhang, your peach wood nail is really powerful, you can solve him by casually stabbing into the ghost general's body." ”
I looked at him adoringly.
He asked quietly, "You just stabbed it casually?" ”
"That's right, I was about to stab him in the center of the eyebrow just now, but who knew that he slapped me, and his hand was deflected, and it pierced behind his ear." I covered my heart, looking like I had palpitations.
Huang Shanjun followed my words and said: "At that time, it was really thrilling, I was about to pierce the center of my eyebrows, but it was slapped open, thanks to the fact that it worked after piercing the ear." ”
Hearing Huang Shanjun say the same, Zhang Heng finally believed it and turned to something else.
"This should be the entrance to the Yin Tomb, the Yin Tomb itself is heavy, it has not seen the light of day for many years, and it breeds resentment, there must be a bad lonely ghost hidden in it, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a ghost nest, so no matter what you see, don't panic." Zhang Heng gave us a vaccination.
"Okay, I know." I answered.
Huang Shanjun also nodded.
Zhang Heng took out four rune papers from his bag, gave me and Huang Shanjun two each, and said: "These four runes are drawn by the family teacher, and they have been worshiped in front of the ancestor for five years, if there are ghosts near you, the rune paper will spontaneously combust, you must keep it properly." ”
Hearing him say this, I busied myself with the talisman paper in the inside pocket of my coat.
Huang Shanjun also put it in his pocket and thanked Zhang Heng.
Zhang Heng packed his bag and made a forward gesture to the Yin Dog, the Yin Dog walked forward slowly, and when he passed me, he glanced at me.
I was stunned by it, and its eyes seemed to see through my thoughts, and there was nothing to hide.
"Brother Zhang, the eyes of the Yin Dog are the same as those of a human." I sighed.
Huang Shanjun was also surprised.
Zhang Heng explained: "This is normal, it has countless lonely souls sealed in its body, and it naturally has spirituality. ”
After following the Yin Dog for a few steps, I looked at Huang Shanjun and silently thanked him.
When Zhang Heng tested me just now, he still spoke for me.
He smiled and didn't say anything.
The Yin Dog walked faster and faster, and eventually we all had to trot to keep up.
As I ran, I observed the passage and saw that it was all made of blue brick walls.
How much does it cost to dig out such a tomb on the top of a big mountain?
Just as I was thinking about it, the Yin Dog suddenly stopped, and I looked forward and couldn't help but exclaim, "It's so deep." ”
The originally flat tomb road has come to an end, and further forward is actually a downward stone staircase, I shined a flashlight, and there is no bottom.
Walking to the edge of the stone staircase, the yin dog changed his previous calm and calm, whining in his throat, and walked back and forth at the mouth of the stone staircase anxiously.
"Brother Zhang, this ...... This mountain won't be hollowed out, will it? I was shocked.
Zhang Heng said: "This is not enough, but this stone ladder is built ingeniously, and the wisdom of the ancients cannot be underestimated." ”
He patted the dog on the back, and the dog barked and ran down the stairs.
We hurriedly followed.
As soon as I went down, it was just a simple stone staircase, and the walls on both sides of the back began to appear with messy lines, and finally there were stone carvings one after another.
Each of the stone sculptures is of a sturdy soldier wearing armor and holding a long sword, but what puzzles me is that their heads are only buns, and they have no facial features.
"I remember something." Huang Shanjun said something coldly, which scared my legs.
I took a few deep breaths and asked him, "What's the matter?" ”
"Before going up the mountain, I lived below for half a month, and the residents who lived here for a long time all said that there is a legend about Qi Wang Mountain, the reason why this mountain is called Qi Wang Mountain, because the King of Qi once lived here, according to legend, King Qi was brave and good at fighting, and repeatedly built military exploits but was suspected by the Yellow Emperor, and wanted to assassinate him on the way back to the court."
I should listen to the story, and I went down as I listened, and I was not so scared in my heart, and I still had the heart to ask about the next development: "And then? ”
"After the king of Qi learned about it, he was disheartened and led the people to rebel against the mountain, Fang Mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there is land on it, which can be cultivated crops, and the king of Qi lived on this mountain, and now the old man who lives on the top of the mountain also says that he is the descendant of the king of Qi."
He said: "Now there is still the image of King Qi when he fought, wearing golden python armor and wearing a golden mask on his face, and there is also a performance here, which is the scene of King Qi defecting to the mountain." ”
As I heard him speak, I casually swept the stone sculpture in front of me on the right and couldn't move it anymore.
"Golden python armor, golden mask?" I confirmed with him.
Huang Shanjun nodded, "Yes, they all said that King Qi was buried here after his death, so the talents here call this mountain King Qi Mountain, and King Qi Mountain has not been developed so far, and the residents of the mountain do not agree, they don't want King Qi to be disturbed." ”
The stone sculpture in front of me on the right is exactly the same as the image of King Qi described by Huang Shanjun.
When passing by, Huang Shanjun also pointed to the stone sculpture and said, "King Qi is this image." ”
After walking down for a while, I turned my head to look behind me and saw a man standing next to the statue of King Qi, looking down at us.
My heart froze, I quickly turned my head, walked a few steps and couldn't help but look back, there was no one next to the statue of King Qi.
I must have read it wrong.
I forced myself not to look back, rubbed my eyes, looked ahead, and suddenly stopped.
On both sides of the bottomless staircase were people, all diagonally facing us, staring at us without blinking.
I was so scared that I was breathless, blinked my eyes, and looked again, and saw that the stairs were stone carvings both times, and there was no one at all.
The uneasiness in my heart grew stronger.
As soon as I entered this Yin Tomb, I became very strange, first seeing the ghost general's life without warning, and then frequently hallucinating.
"Here we are." Zhang Heng's voice was full of excitement.
I came back to my senses, turned on my flashlight and looked down, and I came to a stone door.
The Yin Dog ran to the stone gate and barked, and the hair on his body stood up.
Zhang Heng said in a deep voice: "Congcong, this is the door I told you before. ”
My head hurt, and I was stunned for a moment to react to his words.
He had said that there was also a door in the cemetery that was the same as the one under the coffin of the Seven Troubles River.
I turned on my flashlight to look at both sides of the door and instinctively backed away.
In the middle of the stone door is a gold mask, with sharp facial features and a murderous aura; The two fronts next to the stone door are also made of stones, and on each stone there is a human face protruding, and the facial features of the faceless ones are different, but the expressions are full of anger.
Not to mention, it's really similar to the Seven Troubles River.
I walked towards the stone gate, and when I was about to touch the stone gate three steps away, a slight yin wind suddenly blew on all sides, and I blinked, and when I opened it again, my body tensed violently.
I was surrounded by people who were looking at me with their necks stretched out and angry expressions, just a finger's throw away from the face closest to me.
"Congcong, what are you doing in a daze?" Zhang Heng called me.
I turned my head to look at Zhang Heng, making sure that neither he nor Huang Shanjun could see this person.
I boldly took another step forward, and the men around me became even angrier, glaring at me as they approached me, and the face of the man standing in front of me was already touching my forehead.
"Ahh I let out a low scream, didn't dare to go forward anymore, ran back behind Zhang Heng, and grabbed his clothes tremblingly.
He frowned and said, "What's wrong?" ”
I said, "People, people everywhere." ”
Zhang Heng's face sank, "Did you really see it?" ”
"Really." I said for sure, turning and pointing to the stairs behind me, "It's full of people too." ”
We were all human beings, and I could clearly see their faces and their lives.
"Is the rune paper burning?" Zhang Heng asked.
Huang Shanjun took out the talisman paper from his pocket and said, "No, both of them are good." ”
Zhang Heng's face was solemn, "I've opened my yin eyes, why can't I see it?" ”
I stretched my neck and glanced at Zhang Heng's face, and said hurriedly: "Brother Zhang, your supervisor is surrounded by fog and is blocked. ”
He was suddenly startled, and quickly bit his finger and pressed it to his eyebrows.
"Not good, run." He roared and turned around with the dog in his arms.
I looked at the steps crowded with people, but Zhang Heng said in a deep voice: "It's not easy to walk, the steps are full of Yin soldiers." ”
I was surprised in my heart, rubbing my eyebrows, feeling that I was a little confused, and I couldn't distinguish between people and Yin soldiers.
Although Huang Shanjun couldn't see it, he also knew that something was big and asked, "What should I do next?" ”
Zhang Heng said: "As soon as I entered the Yin Tomb, I was on the road, and I was afraid that I couldn't go any further." ”
He took out a yin eye opening charm and opened a yin eye to Huang Shanjun, and said, "Wait for me to open the way, you protect the congregation, let's rush out." ”
Huang Shanjun nodded.
I looked at the Yin soldiers on the steps, then turned my head to look at the golden masks on the door, and noticed that the Yin soldiers standing around the masks were all slightly bent over, and their expressions were not as hideous as the others.
I whispered, "Didn't you say that this is the tomb of King Qi?" Is that the golden mask he wore when he was alive? ”
Zhang Heng said: "It's possible. ”
After speaking, he took out his peachwood sword, pinched the rune paper, first recited the spell silently, and then walked forward after the rune paper was burned.
I guessed that he was trying to use this to intimidate the Yin soldiers to open the way, but who knew that those Yin soldiers actually showed excitement on their faces, their eyes were full of bloodthirsty killing intent, and they rushed forward without fear.
A group of Yin soldiers rushed over, Zhang Heng was beaten and retreated, but the Yin soldiers standing in front of the door did not move.
If this is really the tomb of King Qi, then they must all be soldiers of King Qi, and they will definitely be afraid of King Qi.
I was so heartbroken that I didn't care about the Yin soldiers in front of the door, so I ran to the door in a few steps and pried the mask down with a knife.
The Yin soldiers guarding the door stared at me angrily, but they didn't dare to make a move.
Huang Shanjun also came to help me and said, "The soldiers obey the general's order, but these people don't dare to move without getting the order." ”
"Why do you dare to move on the steps?" I asked.
Huang Shanjun pointed to the top of the steps and said, "Because there are people there who are ordering them." ”
I looked in the direction he was pointing, and I could barely see the Yin soldiers standing with the Ling Banner, and when the Ling Flag waved, those Yin soldiers rushed forward once, charging silently, like a pantomime.
Seeing that Zhang Heng's face was getting worse and worse, and his body began to shake, I was so anxious that I was so anxious that I had a layer of cold sweat on my back, but fortunately, with Huang Shanjun's help, after the last rune paper in Zhang Heng's hand was burned, the golden mask was pried off.
I didn't care about anything else, so I picked it up and pressed it in my face, but someone grabbed my wrist halfway through.
When I looked up, it was Su Yueze.
He glanced at me lightly and took the golden mask over, "Take Zhang Heng out, I finally found a disciple, I don't want him to have an accident." ”
With that, he put on the golden mask.
Zhang Heng was already fainted on the ground, his face was pale, and he had more air out and less air in.
Huang Shanjun didn't say a word, and carried Zhang Heng with one hand.
Su Yueze wore a golden mask and walked in front of us with his head held high.
Huang Shanjun and I followed him.
The Yin soldiers on the steps didn't dare to move when they saw the golden mask, and they all got out of the way.
I breathed a sigh of relief in my heart and quickened my pace.
When I walked past the Yin soldier holding the order flag, I exhaled softly and wiped the sweat from my forehead.
"What about the gravebreakers?"
A hearty shout rang out from inside the stone gate.
"Kill, kill, kill!" Three more roars, the sound echoed through the graveyard, and it shook my ears.
Oops!
I pushed Huang Shanjun: "Run." ”
He lost his mind for a moment, and only reacted when I pushed him, and ran away, but he was still a step too late, and the Yin soldiers behind him had already caught up and surrounded us.
Su Yueze scolded: "His grandmother's actually met the main master." ”
After speaking, he threw down the golden mask on his face, flipped his right hand, and a copper coin sword appeared out of thin air, "Hurry up." ”
As he spoke, he fought with the Yin soldiers.
We hurriedly ran up.
The sound of fighting behind me became smaller and smaller, I paused, looked back, and found that Su Yueze did not use Taoist charms at all, but fought like a person, relying on his fists and feet to block those Yin soldiers.
But there are a large number of Yin soldiers, wheel tactics, and he is not an opponent at all after a long time.
As he swung his sword and slashed at the neck of a Yin soldier, his right arm was suddenly grabbed, and then he was overwhelmed, and a Yin soldier rushed up and stabbed him in the chest with his sword.
"Be careful!" I threw both pieces of rune paper down in my pocket.
Su Yueze shouted: "Hurry like a law!" ”
The two runes slammed, ignited a fireball and rushed into the Yin soldier pile, I ran down, and wanted to drag Su Yueze but felt empty, so I could only say anxiously: "Hurry up." ”
He looked at me, gritted his teeth, got up from the ground, and limped up.
"Kill!" The Yin Soldier shouted again, brandishing his sword and charging upward.
I tore off my sleeves, bit my fingers, drew a Dao Tian Thunder Talisman on it, and said to Su Yueze: "Recite a mantra." ”
After saying that, I threw down the Heavenly Thunder Talisman.
I prayed in my heart that it would work.
After my dad left, he left me a few pieces of rune paper, and I have been drawing them all these years when I have nothing to do, but I don't know if my drawings can be used.
I can't force it today, otherwise I will definitely not show this hand in front of Su Yueze.
I smiled bitterly in my heart, Su Yueze will be more defensive of me when I go out this time.
"Harness the thunder, the ghosts and demons die, punish!" He let out a loud shout.
There was a rumbling sound, and there was a smell of burnt paste from below.
Su Yueze clutched his chest, coughed heavily, and his body began to weaken.
"If you hold on a little longer, you're going up." I say.
He glanced at me, gritted his teeth and ran up.
Huang Shanjun had already put Zhang Heng on his back, saw that I was behind, and came down to pick me up.
After I went up the stairs, Zhang Heng also opened his eyes, he wiped the bloodshot from the corner of his mouth, took out a wooden bottle from his bag, and said to Su Yueze: "Come in quickly." ”
Su Yueze hummed and got in.
Zhang Heng struggled to get up and said, "Get out of here first." ”
Huang Shanjun picked him up, and we ran to the front room without stopping.
Zhang Heng glanced at his watch and said, "It's already dawn, and the Yin soldiers outside won't appear again." ”
We didn't hesitate any longer, got out of the tomb of King Qi, and ran until we reached the lookout at the top of the hill before stopping.
I sat on the ground, gasping for breath and stinging in my throat.
"Brother Zhang, we really ran to the ghost den this time." I said, "It's a big deal to meet one or two ghosts outside, but here's a team of ghosts." ”
Zhang Heng took out more than a dozen bottles from his bag, poured out two pills from each bottle, didn't ask for water, swallowed it directly, and then took out another bottle of liquor, and drank half a bottle of wine.
Huang Shanjun and I were dumbfounded.
He wiped his mouth, answered my question, and said, "This time I was too hasty and anxious to go in, I should find the burial pit first, and then talk about overtaking those Yin soldiers." ”
"But the Yin soldiers in the tomb are not in the burial pit." Huang Shanjun took out a fist-sized piece of dirt from his pocket and said, "There is this hidden behind the statue next to the steps of the Yin Tomb. ”
After saying that, he trampled the dirt and rolled out of it a palm-sized iron plate, on which was carved a human face, with rough facial features, but very realistic eyes.
Wrong.
I picked up the iron plate and stared at the eyes, and when I recognized the thing, my heart was furious, and it was actually a real eye.
I didn't almost throw the iron plate out.
The eyes, which were originally as smooth as the eyes of a living person, but when they came into contact with sunlight, they dried up at a rate visible to the naked eye, and the left back turned into two layers of dry skin.
"There's this behind the stone carvings?" I've never seen anything weird like this.
Huang Shanjun said: "I'm not sure, I pulled this out from the back of the statue with the golden mask." ”
Zhang Heng said: "I'm afraid this eye is the eye of King Qi, and the statue with a golden mask on the stone ladder is his stand-in, instead of him commanding the Yin soldiers in the Yin Tomb." ”
"Now that his eyes have been cut out, the Yin soldiers in the Yin Tomb will no longer listen to the command of the Ling Banner Soldier, right?" As soon as I thought about it, I was happy, then if we went in again, those Yin soldiers would not stop us.
Zhang Heng said: "Have you forgotten the King of Qi behind the stone gate?" ”
That's right, if it weren't for the sudden voice of King Qi from behind the stone gate just now, we would have gone in a long time ago.
Zhang Heng stood up and said: "There are a large number of Yin soldiers in the Yin Tomb, even if there are only twenty-seven statues on the stone ladder, so there is still a large part of the bones of the Yin soldiers in the burial pit. ”
As he spoke, I kept observing his expression and noticed that his face had recovered a lot.
Those pills are amazing.
However, because Zhang Heng and I were both seriously injured, although Huang Shanjun was not injured, he was also tired enough, so we decided to go down the mountain first and recuperate for a few days before coming up.
I was scared in the tomb, but I didn't notice it, and when the crisis was resolved, I noticed a sudden pain in my temples, my head swelled outward, and I had double vision when I saw everything.
I insisted on returning to the hotel, I didn't eat, I threw myself into bed and began to sleep.
The more I slept, the heavier my neck became, and my chest was uncomfortable, I forced myself to open my eyes and saw Su Yueze standing by the bed, pinching my neck with one hand, and his face was cold.
I was a spirit, and I tried hard to get up on my waist, but he pressed me down.
"Yuan Congcong, if you don't open your eyes, you can actually see ghosts." He's not asking me, he's stating the facts.
After saying that, he approached me and said, "You can see the face of the yin." ”
I was a little discouraged in my heart, this person is really smart.
"Yes." I confessed, pulled his hand away, and sat down against the head of the bed.
He held back his anger, "Since when did you start to see it?" ”
I unscrewed the mineral water at the bedside and took a sip and said, "Come back from Dikeng Village." ”
"How dare you lie to me." He said angrily.
I looked him in the eye and smiled and said, "yes, so you're going to kill me?" Don't forget, I just saved your life today. ”
He looked at me, gritted his teeth, and said, "Don't think I dare not kill you. ”
I looked at him lightly, scared to death, pinching my palms tightly, but my face still tried to maintain composure.
The two of us just looked at each other, and after a moment, he looked away.
My heart finally settled, and I was right.
Last time, he tested me, but he didn't hurt the key place, which means that he didn't want to kill me at all, he just wanted to force Yu Hao to come out, and now he didn't find Yu Hao by my side, and there is no reason to do it to me.
He walked around the head of the bed, a little angry, "Does the sixth master know? ”
"If you don't say it, he doesn't know." I say.
He turned around, stared at me, and said, "Why did you save me in the tomb?" ”
I was stunned by what he said, and I didn't think much about it at the time, and when I saw that he was about to be killed by a group of ghosts, I couldn't help but run back.
But you can't say that to him.
I said, "A piece of going to the grave is a partner who lives and dies together, I can't leave you alone, and ......."
I put on a smiling face, "I want to let the dignified Qingfeng Yin Immortal owe me a favor, be polite to me in the future, don't always have something to do to test me." ”
He sneered, "You think a lot. ”
I laughed and didn't say anything.
After looking at me for a long time, his cold face finally couldn't be maintained, and he dropped a sentence: "I'll go back and teach you how to use talismans this time." Then he quickly left.
"Thank you, Xianjia." I shouted with a laugh.
I stared at the door for a long time to make sure he didn't show up again, and I exhaled heavily, touching the cold sweat on my forehead.
It's really terrible, I have to try my best to please the sixth master, and I have to play tricks with Su Yueze.
