Devil's Cave

After listening to me, Hei Niu raised the shovel head and looked at it, and asked curiously, "Old Su, how do you determine that this is baby oil?" I think it's similar to mutton fat, but it doesn't smell. ”

I explained, "If I'm not mistaken, this bone lamp in front of us should be a human bone soul lamp. This kind of lamp is a kind of witchcraft in southern Xinjiang in ancient times, and the bone used to make the wick must be the woman's right leg calf bone. Legend has it that a woman's right leg is to the yin, and a man's left leg is to the yang, which is why the woman must step on the right leg first when entering the temple to worship, in order to break the yin and evil qi first. Legend has it that babies under the age of three can see people's souls, and when they burn with lamp oil, they can attract people's souls to come closer. ”

After listening to me, Gu Yixin said thoughtfully: "No wonder we were like a demon just now, attracted by the light, and walked forward." However, I don't understand why this oil can be preserved so well for more than 2,000 years. ”

The grease in the snake's mouth was solid, snow-white and warm, shining brightly under the light, as if it had just been put in.

I thought about it for a moment and said, "Many of the skills that the ancients mastered were incredible. I think that the lamp oil in the python's mouth may have been specially refined, and in the process of refining, some lost secret medicines have been added, and the principle of those secret medicines should be like preservatives, which can ensure that the ointment does not rot or dry, and there is also a strange fragrance. ”

Human fat, like animal fat, has no special taste under normal conditions, but when the human bone soul lamp burns, it is faintly fragrant, which is obviously something added to the fat. The ghostly light is meant to appeal to the soul, and those special scents don't know what to do.

The black bull leaned up and looked at the leg bone inserted in the snake's mouth, and said, "No, Lao Su, if this soul-attracting lamp has been burned for more than 2,000 years, why is the bone stubble still white?" ”

I said, "This is a good explanation, just like the lanterns in many ancient tombs, when the door of the tomb is opened, the oxygen-rich air from the outside enters the tomb, and the lantern in the tomb with a very low ignition point will suddenly burn. As expected, there is a human bone soul lamp not far from this stone beam, and each bone of these lamps is coated with a bottom ignition substance such as phosphorus, and the amount and method of application have been calculated and considered, and the reference is supposed to be the running speed of human beings. That's why it goes out as soon as we run to it. ”

As soon as we finished speaking, we noticed that the human bone lamp in front of us went out all at once, and then another one lit up farther away.

Hei Niu was stunned for a moment, then stretched out his thumb and said to me: "It's really come true, this shows that Lao Su, your analysis is completely correct." ”

This is the first mechanism in the real sense of the death door, and the meticulous and strange degree of design of this mechanism makes us think very frightened: to be able to reach this stone beam through the stone gate, it must be after a series of fierce battles of life and death in the tomb, even if you come in alive, you are already extremely tired, and most people will choose to rest in this state. The human biomagnetic field can easily be disturbed and leave the body when the body is extremely tired, and the human bone soul attraction lamp is lit at this time, which can attract the soul of the person. The sequential way of lighting up can attract the soul to keep moving forward, so that it is far away from the body, and eventually cannot return, leading to the silent death of the person in his sleep.

Gu Yixin swept the double-headed python stone sculpture in front of him with a beam of light, and then took a look at the black hole in front of the stone beam and under it, and sighed: "The ancients who designed this mechanism are too powerful, not only to master witchcraft, but also to have strong logical ability, grasp the accurate timing, and use all factors to the extreme. ”

The black bull smeared the grease on the shovel on the stone carving, spat at the black hole below and said: "It's not as mysterious as you said, the design of this soul-attracting lamp is clever, but when it encounters a master like me, who has a strong soul and is not afraid of ghosts and gods, it has no tricks, and can only be used as a lighting ornament." ”

"Not necessarily." Gao Moli said as he reached out and pulled out the human bone from the snake's mouth.

The three of us were startled, and hurriedly looked, only to see that after Gao Moli sensed the temperature of his palm, the bone in Gao Moli's hand actually sprouted and spread a lot of tiny red textures, and those textures were like crooked capillaries, attached to that leg bone.

"What is this?" I asked, staring at the bone with wide eyes.

"Summoning spells." Gao Moli looked at it and said, "We have to leave quickly." ”
