Chapter 14: The Stone Jar
Curious, I walked over to a stone jar and peered inside, which contained an unidentified liquid in the form of paste, and a foul smell emanating from the vat.
"How could a man suddenly disappear, and what is going on with this burial chamber?" Old Chen fell into deep thought.
"Could there be other exits here?" I said.
"Probably not, we checked everything here after we came in, I looked at the four big stone jars, I didn't dare to let them move, there was no other exit at all." Coal boss said.
"Old Chen, what's in that vat? Why does it smell so bad? I asked, covering my mouth.
"Let's go, go over and have a look." Because of Chen Lao's presence, the coal bosses are also a lot bolder.
We came to a large stone jar, Chen Lao looked at it and frowned, and then took out the compass and walked around in front of the four large jars, but unfortunately there was no reaction on the compass at all.
"It looks like there's corpse oil in this tank." Old Chen suddenly spoke.
When the coal boss heard that it might be corpse oil, he suddenly got goosebumps, and asked in a trembling voice, "This, what are you doing with corpse oil in the tank?" ”
"Soaking the wick in oil made from animal fat can continue to burn for decades without extinguishing, and the corpse oil made from human fat can be refined for hundreds of years. Chen Lao said in a deep voice.
Old Chen looked down at the compass and frowned, "It's really weird, why didn't there be any reaction on the compass?" ”
Chen Lao was a little blind, it was the first time he had encountered such an evil thing, according to common sense, if he encountered anything unclean, the compass would react, but now this compass did not react at all, could it be that all this has nothing to do with ghosts?
"Now the burial chamber we came in is gone, and we can't get out, so why don't we look for it carefully? See if you can find your way out? "The only thing the coal boss wants to do now is to get out of this hellish place as soon as possible.
"Okay, don't miss any suspicious places." Old Chen said.
Next, except for Chen Lao and the coal boss, the rest of us began to look for suspicious places in the tomb, but the tomb was not very big in total, and after five minutes, we got together again, but we still found nothing.
"Old Chen, there are only a few big stone jars left that I haven't checked." Ah Bing spoke.
"I've always felt that these big stone jars are a bit wicked." Elder Chen nodded and signaled everyone to be careful.
We started with the big stone jar on the east side, and we took the headlamp to shine on the corpse oil in the stone jar, and it was so dark that we couldn't see anything, so the coal boss suggested that everyone work together to move the stone jar away to see if the exit was underneath.
At the time, I thought Boss Coal was a good idea, but I soon regretted that I had listened to Boss Coal's nonsense, and we shouldn't have touched that stone tank in the first place.
The big stone jar was so heavy that several of us worked together to move it, and that's when a mutation happened.
"Have you noticed that this stone jar is getting hotter and hotter to the touch?" I said in amazement.
"Well, that's a bit of a thing." The coal boss reached out and touched the stone jar and said in surprise.
"No, it's getting hotter and hotter, and it's starting to get a little hot." Ah Bing took a step back vigilantly.
The others retreated, and after a few moments, white smoke resembling steam began to rise from the stone jar, and the disgusting stench was even stronger.
I covered my nose and asked, "What's going on?" ”
Chen Lao looked down at the compass in his hand, his face changed greatly, and he shouted that it was not good, only to see that the pointer on the compass in Chen Lao's hand was turning in a crazy circle.
At this time, I found that the corpse oil in the big stone jar was like boiling hot water, which had gradually boiled, and I was shocked, his uncle, something had happened.
And what made us even more terrifying was that not only the corpse oil in the big stone jar we moved was boiling, but the remaining three large stone jars were also boiling.
I don't know who shouted, "Run." ”
We were like frightened birds, and we fled to the corridor, and in a panic, I saw that the coal boss was the first to escape from the tomb.
Looking at Chen Lao, because he is the oldest person among us, his reaction speed is relatively slow, and he actually falls behind this crowd, and Chen Jasmine, the girl, is still standing there without knowing whether she is alive or dead, damn, she still has the heart to watch the excitement at this time.
I immediately ran to the side of the two grandparents and grandchildren and ran into the corridor with one hand in one hand, and when I passed by the door, I was horrified to see a dark and thin palm stretching out of the boiling corpse oil.
Due to the suddenness of the incident, I didn't know where to throw my hard hat, so I just pulled Chen Lao and Chen Jasmine to run wildly in the dark corridor, and after running for a while, I said to myself, why haven't I seen the coal boss and them, but they ran out before the three of us.
At this moment, Old Chen's voice sounded in my ears, "Xiao, Xiao Meng, slow down, I, I can't run." ”
I forgot, Chen Lao is old, how can he run like us young people? I started to slow down, and there was no light in the dark hallway, so I asked, "Which of you two took the lead?" I don't know where I lost it. ”
"First, don't run yet, let me catch my breath." Chen Lao said that he couldn't run anymore.
"Old Chen, Master Chen, you can't drag back, if you don't run, if the ghost thing in the back catches up, we all have to finish playing." I said hurriedly.
"Don't worry, the thing in the back hasn't been chased for the time being." In the dark, Jasmine Chen suddenly spoke.
Your uncle, this girl has also seen the ghost hand sticking out of the tank, so dare to stand there and watch the excitement? It's a long life, isn't it?
At this time, Chen Lao turned on his headlamp, and we just ran to the stone gate at the end of the road.
Although the lights were on, I found another terrible thing, the coal boss and they were gone, they obviously ran out first, why are they all gone?
Since we got off this tomb, there have been strange things everywhere, first Xiao Zhao Zhongxie was covered by dirty things, then Ah Bing may have died, and then there is the dragon boy who disappeared with the tomb, and then the terrifying ghost hand stretched out in the four big stone jars just now, damn, now the coal boss They have also disappeared inexplicably, and this series of things that happened is like a strange fog shrouded us.
"yes, what about them?" Chen Lao also said in surprise.
"Old Chen, you are Mr. Yin and Yang, haven't you noticed anything abnormal?" I asked a little impatiently.
"It's true that I am Mr. Yin and Yang, but I only know divination and calculate good fortune and evil." Chen Lao said angrily.
By the way, when I heard Chen Lao mention Feng Shui, I suddenly remembered that Jasmine Chen hadn't been reading a book about Feng Shui recently? So I turned my head to look at Jasmine Chen, but I found that the person next to me was not Jasmine Chen.
"Chen Fengxian?" I was surprised, she hadn't appeared since she swallowed the ghost attached to the coal boss's daughter, why did she come out at this time.
"Why are you so surprised? Miss me? "The personalities of the two sisters Chen Fengxian and Chen Jasmine are diametrically opposed, Chen Jasmine is as cold as ice, while Chen Fengxian is as enthusiastic as fire, this pair of sisters with two souls is really wonderful.
"How did you get out? Don't make a fuss, call Jasmine Chen out, we have something to ask her. "When is it, how can you joke with her.
"No, why can't I come out? It's so exciting, it's so fun. "Chen Fengxian just doesn't want to go back, put on a pretend, I'm going to join in the fun, see what you can do to me.
"Fengxian, don't make trouble, call your sister out." Chen Lao persuaded him.
"Ye~~ Ye." Chen Fengxian stomped his feet and lowered his head.
A moment later, when she raised her head, Jasmine Chen appeared, and I said in my heart that these two sisters are really amazing, and the two of them can share the same body.
"No more questions, I hear you." Jasmine Chen glanced at me lightly.
"I'm also new to Feng Shui, and I'm learning a lot of things, but I'm sure that this tomb must have been laid with a Feng Shui formation, but I can't break it." Jasmine Chen shook her head and said.
Damn, just seeing a little hope is so dashed, is there no way to do it? Just trapped and dying in this ancient tomb?
At this time, there were suddenly a few terrifying roars on the other side of the road, his uncle, could it be that the ghost thing in the big stone jar was chasing after him.
