Chapter 8: The Abandoned Ditch
"Little Dragon King, I am really in the palm of your hand, and you can see through everything." Brother Kan's eyes suddenly became serious, "Zijing, since I was a child, you were the first one who was willing to play with me, it was you who drove away the loneliness in my heart, whether as a friend or a brother, you are irreplaceable for me." ”
Gu Di Longzi looked at Brother Kan and said: "I am also Brother Kan, you, Longgang, are the best friends I can't lose in this life, the most cherished person, and the person I am willing to take my life to protect, I have lost Longgang, I can't lose you anymore." ”
The corners of Brother Kan's eyes moistened, and he blinked his eyes hard and said, "Thank you, Ziyan." ”
"Brother Kan, you still call me Little Dragon King, I'm not used to you being too serious, I've talked about the friendship between you and me as brothers in life and death, don't talk about thanks." Long Ziyan bandaged it and tied it hard, so painful that Brother Kan cried out, "If it's okay, hurry up and climb up, the old crow and the Longlou Treasure Hall are on it." ”
It was already half past three in the morning, the two of them had some food casually, Brother Kan wore a headlamp, held a portable pickaxe, and Long Ziyan followed behind with a hand-held flashlight and set off across the valley.
The night fog hits, the night is cloudy and windy, but it is a little cool, under the hazy moonlight, there are not a few stars in sight, the sky is not pure black, but the black reveals an infinite deep blue, stretching into the distance.
The moonlight appeared and disappeared through the slow-moving black clouds, and Long Ziyan walked cautiously, feeling cold in his heart, so as not to roll down with Brother Kan like during the day.
But he always felt that there were people staring at him on all sides, and that feeling couldn't help but make his scalp tingle, and a trace of cool air blew on the back of his head from time to time, and when he looked back, there was nothing, and when he felt that someone was behind him, he turned around and fell to the ground in fright.
"Ahh Long Ziyan shouted, "Ghost! Hell! ”
Brother Kan heard the cry and turned around to see Long Ziyan covering his face and falling to the ground, "Little Dragon King, where is the ghost?" Let him see how powerful Grandpa Dakan is. ”
Long Ziyan pointed forward with his hand, and Brother Kan looked at the headlamp and didn't find anything to greet Long Ziyan, "Where?" Nothing? ”
Long Ziyan opened his eyes and found nothing, "No, I saw that there was obviously a mass of things behind, and now it has disappeared again." ”
"I said, Little Dragon King, you won't be afraid of hallucinations, even if there are ghosts and your brother Kan is there, we are not afraid of big zongzi, we are still afraid of ghosts."
Long Ziyan believed that he was nervous and dazzled, "Okay, there is Brother Kan standing up to the sky, what am I afraid of, keep walking." ”
Brother Kan pulled up Long Ziyan to leave, suddenly Long Ziyan's eyes widened, his mouth wanted to say something but couldn't say it, he pointed to the front, Brother Kan looked forward, "Alas, I'll go!" ”
I saw a thick green fire floating in the air in front of me, flickering and flickering, it was a ghost fire, Brother Kan recognized it and said to Long Ziyan: "Don't be afraid, it's just a ghost fire, it can't hurt people, didn't you learn when you went to school, human bones contain phosphorus, phosphorus oxide will be produced when it reacts with water or alkali, and it will burn when it reaches the combustion point through the stored heat, you are stupid, make a fuss." ”
"You...... Look again...... Front. ”
"What's wrong again?" Brother Kan turned his head to look, "He's ***, what the hell?" ”
Talking for a while, the green flame
It had become a patch, and countless flames floated around, illuminating the valley floor, and there were still a few red flames among the green flames.
Long Ziyan was about to speak, but Brother Kan covered his mouth and said softly: "Don't move, the ghost fire is very light, when people pass by or even speak, the phosphorus fire will float with the air, and then we can't run, if you don't want to burn to death, shut up." ”
The demon fire was extinguished, and another was born, endlessly, as if it could not be burned. The two of them didn't dare to come out, and watched countless flames burn away in front of them.
Brother Kan took a deep breath and said, "It's okay, it scared Lao Tzu." ”
Long Ziyan also escaped death, and breathed sharply, "Brother Kan, there are so many ghost fires, how many people have to die here?" ”
Long Ziyan reminded Brother Kan in one sentence, "Also, this ghost fire is abnormal, and it appears in pieces, the ghost fire is emitted from the dead person, so this?" ”
Long Ziyan guessed what Brother Kan meant and asked, "Could it be that the place we are stepping on now is a cemetery?" And not just one or two? ”
"It looks like the situation is indeed as you said, it may still be a burial pit, I'm afraid it's under this thick fallen leaves."
Long Ziyan scanned the surroundings with a flashlight and found a naked corpse, "Brother Kan, come and see here, it seems to be a human bone." ”
Brother Kan followed and took the lamp, "It's true, why is there only one piece, and the others must be below." ”
"What are you doing, digging together."
"Little Dragon King, I said you have nothing to do with it, hurry up, I was still scared just now and called my mother."
"I said that you have finished speaking, this matter must not be simple, if you know who is buried below, you can analyze which dynasty and which generation the owner of the tomb is."
"Just look at a few bones to tell when it's a person, and you can still test DNA in those eyes?"
"Are you really stupid or pretending to be stupid, of course, judging by the costumes and some utensils, hurry up and dig with me, find the best, and if you can't find it, go directly to his nest."
Long Ziyan looked at the degree of corrosion of the corpse, it should have been thousands of years, and the clothes were so rotten that there was no slag left, and it was really impossible to tell the difference from just a pile of bones.
"Little Dragon King, come and see, there is a complete body here, and the clothes on the body are a lot rotten, you can see if you can see it."
Long Ziyan approached and took a closer look, and he could vaguely identify it, the skeleton was still neat, and although the clothes on his body were rotten a lot, he could still recognize what he looked like overall.
"Brother Kan, I see that their clothes are short and knee-high, and there is a bow with broken threads on their bodies, which is a major feature of Hufu, this kind of clothing was originally used in the army, and this corpse has a lot of broken bones, unlike a normal death, there should have been a fight before death, so many bones, could it be that they were abandoned here after the battle? Or is it a massacre? ”
"After reading it, have you analyzed which dynasty the tomb owner is?" Brother Kan asked coldly on the side.
"I don't know for the time being, I only know that these dead bodies are Hu people, why they died, why so many of them were abandoned in this valley is not clear, if these people were killed by the owner of the tomb, then it is inferred that the owner of this tomb is also a figure after the Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms, want to know the truth, climb out of the valley before dawn, and go to meet the owner of this tomb for a while."
When he was about to leave, Brother Kan noticed that there seemed to be movement in the pile of corpses, "Little Dragon King, don't be in a hurry to leave, do you see if this corpse is moving?" ”
"Brother Kan, you are also scared stupid, you have become bones, and you can still become zongzi."
"You see, it did move, and the bones moved."
Long Zi fixed his eyes and saw that the piled bones seemed to be held up by something, and slowly arched up, and Kan Ge pulled Long Ziyan back a few steps, and the bones were piled up about a meter high, and suddenly countless black insects crawled around from it.
"It's a red-headed corpse tick, sucking human blood, run up the hill, don't stop, keep running." Brother Kan pulled Long Ziyan and ran wildly, not daring to turn his head back.
The red-headed corpse ticks smelled the smell of blood and chased after the two of them in groups, and there was a chilling sound, and it was impossible to tell whether it was a red-headed corpse tick or a leaf.
"Brother Kan, that black thing seems to be chasing us."
"Don't worry so much, you just run, Brother Kan has his own way."
Brother Kan stopped and took out a bottle from his backpack, spilled the thick stuff on the ground, and chased after it.
The sky was already slightly bright, and the two of them ran out of the valley in one go, tired and limp to the ground, and the red-headed corpse tick was gone.
Long Ziyan took a breath and asked, "Brother Kan, are you okay?" ”
"I'm fine, how are you?" Brother Kan lay on the ground, tired and motionless.
"I'm fine, what the hell is that, it scared me to death."
"That thing is a red-headed corpse tick that sucks human blood, lays eggs on human bodies, and feeds on dead people after hatching, which I see a lot when I shave sweet potatoes."
"What the hell are you falling on the ground? The corpse tick wasn't chasing us. ”
"Blood, I poured it on the ground, and when the corpse ticks heard it, they all cared about food, and the two of us escaped."
"You still have blood with you?"
"Nonsense, brother is a professional, just kidding, there are a lot of things in the bag, otherwise I will die!"
"Yes, who doesn't know that Brother Kan is the northern faction of the big top, I served you."
"Just take it, rest and find where the grave is? Tell you, no matter who is in the tomb and how dangerous it is, I have to dig this tomb now, and I will also take my dad out if I live or die, hurry up. ”
"It's almost here, look at the natural sacred cow Mochizuki Case Mountain in front, the elephant guarding the water mouth, the five-fold green dragon sand, the water mouth lock, the rare feng shui treasure, let me see your professional housekeeping skills, there must be a Luoyang shovel in the bag."
"It's not okay here, it's all too hard, go further."
After walking for a while, the road on three sides was blocked by the mountain, leaving only a small road when they came, and the weeds buried the two of them.
