Chapter 20: The Cavern
Caverns?
Literally, this is supposed to be a cave where corpses are hidden.
The two words on the door frame are obviously engraved in modern times, and they are both simplified characters.
If I'm not mistaken, this should be Yi Daxishen's handwriting, it seems to have been carved with a sharp weapon, it looks quite clear, and there is no vague feeling
Could this really be where he hid his bootlegged goods?
"These two stone carvings should not have been made by my grandfather." Yi Lin muttered.
"Sure, these two stone statues are antiquities at first glance, and they can't be modern." I laughed.
As I spoke, I stepped forward and knocked lightly on the stone door.
I don't know if I touched the mechanism, or if this was originally a procedure needed to open the door, but after knocking less than three times, I only felt that the stone door suddenly trembled, and both doors slowly opened at an extremely slow speed
It is no exaggeration to say that I am both surprised and excited, this stone gate is really high-tech!
How many years ago can it still be so sensitive?? Someone knocked on the door and was able to open it by themselves?!
"Hey Xiaoyi, what principle do you say this door relies on?" I squatted on the edge of the threshold, holding a flashlight in my hand, and observed the crack of the stone door very carefully, and said that this thing looks like the most ordinary stone door, not like an automatic door at all, how did the ancient people make it?
Hearing my question, Yi Lin didn't say anything, and gently patted me with his hand.
"What's wrong?"
"Big brother, now is not the time to study Shimen," Yi Lin said, his voice gradually trembling: "We have other things to do."
"Oh yes, we've got to find the corpses, right?"
I smiled awkwardly and stood up to take Yi Lin inside, but before I could lift my feet, I was startled by the things in the door.
How can there be so many?!
Inside the door is a large stone room, about the size of two basketball courts, and the decoration style is quite simple, similar to a public toilet, with cubicles.
Every meter I crossed, there was a wall separating it, and from the place where I got in, there were forty or fifty compartments alone.
You know, these cubicles aren't empty, they're full of people!
"Where did your grandfather get these corpses?" I couldn't help but ask.
If these corpses were not wearing sackcloth, but more modern clothes, then I would definitely think that Yi Daxi God had gone on an evil path and began to refine the corpses of living or modern people.
Yi Lin didn't answer my question, he looked at the corpses with fear and curiosity, and muttered in his mouth: "These are ancient corpses, absolutely"
"How do you know?" I asked.
"I can tell by the corpse gas, it's not the same as the corpse gas I've smelled, these are obviously much thicker." Yi Lin said in a low voice: "And their flesh and blood are also fuller, there is no shrinkage and dryness, and it is clear that they have become essences." ”
"I think so"
Standing by the stone gate, I took a flashlight and swept it around twice, making sure that no one showed signs of cheating the corpse, and then I breathed a sigh of relief.
"Xiao Yi, do you think these corpses can be beaten?" I asked curiously.
"Yes." Yi Lin nodded: "The corpse qi is thick like this, the ability is definitely not bad, and the strength of the physical body should far exceed that of ordinary corpses, but"
Speaking of this, Yi Lin was silent for a while, as if he was thinking about something, and shook his head.
"Their qi is not as strong as that monster's, so they may not be able to beat it."
"Rely on crowd tactics to win." I comforted and gently rubbed Yi Lin's hair: "Besides, you are only responsible for dragging them down, and I am responsible for killing them, so we have to divide and cooperate." ”
"I can't control too many corpses, I'm not my grandfather." Yi Lin whispered, his mood was very low, and he seemed to be very disappointed with the corpses in the corpse cave.
I thought about it, and said, "Your grandfather knows you better than anyone else, and since he asked you to help us, he may have thought of this a long time ago."
"Let's go check it out first." Yi Lin rubbed his eyes and smiled, "I'm quite curious about these ancient corpses!" ”
Seeing that he had recovered a little, I smiled and nodded, and led him in.
The costumes of these ancient corpses are all of the same specification, there is no difference, whether it is the dress or the strange ornaments they wear, they are all carved out of a mold.
Being able to see people in ancient times with their own eyes, really, this experience is not as simple as horror, but an indescribable emotion.
These people are basically about 1.8 meters tall, all men, no women.
Their appearance is no different from that of modern people, and if they were dressed in modern clothes, no one would be able to tell the difference.
What intrigued me the most was the golden nail nailed to the door of these corpses.
All the corpses, not one of them fell, and there was this nail in the middle of the brain.
The whole body is golden, and it is reflective when it shines with a flashlight, and it looks similar to real gold, but whether it is gold or not, I can't say for sure.
"Is this some kind of sacrificial method?" I looked closer, and I felt that the more I looked at this golden nail, the more familiar it became, as if I had seen it somewhere.
Yi Lin suddenly said: "Big brother, this nail is very similar to the coffin nail you use, but it is much thinner and shorter."
"Yes!! This shape is a bit like a coffin nail!! I suddenly realized, "I'll just say how to look familiar."
As I spoke, I looked back again, feeling a little lost.
"Hammer a nail in the door of the corpse, this must be to suppress the corpse," I muttered, "But if you want to suppress the corpse, there should be many more convenient and effective ways than this, so why bother with a nail."
"yes." Yi Lin nodded, still agreeing with my words.
I didn't squeak, I took the flashlight, leaned in and studied it for a while, and suddenly remembered something.
"Xiao Yi, you should know the role of gold, right?" I asked nonchalantly.
"What does gold do?" Yi Lin was stunned, as if he didn't understand what I meant: "What's the effect?" ”
"In our industry, every metal has its own role and characteristics," I smiled: "For example, a metal like iron has the characteristics of not taking the two qi of yin and yang, and it is completely insulating from the two qi of yin and yang." ”
Yi Lin nodded and said I know this, the old man told me when I was very young.
"Where's the gold?" I whispered, "Gold has many functions, but its greatest characteristic is only one." ”
Yi Lin pondered for two seconds and asked me, is the feature valuable?
"That's one too." I nodded helplessly: "Another feature is the conductivity of yin and yang, gold, a precious metal, has a strong conductivity to yin and yang, and in some cases, it can even compare to copper." ”
"That's right" Yi Lin looked at me stupidly and scratched his head: "Does this have anything to do with us?" ”
"Don't you think the golden nails on the door of these corpses are strange?" I smiled and said, "I heard your grandfather say that if your husband in Xiangxi wants to drive out the corpse, then he must let the corpse have a soul in his body."
The soul is the mind, and the soul is the flesh and bones.
If there is no spirit in the corpse, then it cannot be driven away by Mr
"These nails are engraved with charms, although I can't figure out the specific content, but I can still see a little bit." I smiled, "It's for spirits." ”
As I spoke, I took a step to the right and looked at the pattern on the gold spike from the side.
"Xiao Yi, you can try it, and see if it takes a lot of effort to drive these corpses away."
I said without looking back, my tone full of confidence.
If my guess is correct, these golden nails should be the opportunity left by the Great Joy God to Yi Lin.
If Daxi God didn't have a certain certainty, then he would definitely not let Yi Lin's efforts be in vain.
He is a person who has fought with heavy sins, so he naturally knows how many catties and taels there are in heavy sins, so
"Chase the corpses now? Isn't it a bit too rushed? Yi Lin seemed to have no confidence in himself, and asked me a little weakly: "How many to catch?" ”
I thought about it and asked him rhetorically.
"Several, is that okay?"
