Volume I, Chapter 9: Rituals

My mind went blank, I didn't know what to do, and by the time I realized I was already at the hole. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoForget it! No matter! Scare yourself, it's just a coincidence!

I turned my head to look at the surnamed Bai and said, "That's it, you guys go in, the three of us are standing here, no one will go in"

The surnamed Bai looked at us, looked inside twice, and said to me: "Chen Gong, don't pretend, the excavation face has stopped here, how can there be people here, it's better to go in and have a look, I just hope you don't say anything."

I smiled wryly, it really didn't hide it, it seems that he called us here for another purpose. I looked at Liu Yaxin and He Chao and wanted to ask for their opinions, but the two of them stared blankly, obviously immersed in the fear brought by the cold wind just now. I didn't know what to do for a while.

At the same time, the one surnamed Bai nodded slightly to the other people, and those people immediately understood. The last two people who arrived before walked to the front and put two huge backpacks on the ground, and several people stood in a circle, surrounding Li Gongzi in the middle. At this time, I realized that this Li Gongzi was facing away from the entrance of the cave, his eyes were closed, and he seemed to have never looked inside, and he could see the nervousness in his heart from his trembling eyelashes.

I didn't care what Liu Yaxin and He Chao were thinking, I quickly patted the two of them and motioned for the two of them to take a look and see what these people were going to do. The two of them looked at me suspiciously, then followed my gaze. The three of us just watched in silence as they gestured.

I saw one of them quickly open the backpack and take out a yellow silk scarf from it, this silk scarf should have been processed, there seemed to be words on it, but it couldn't be seen really, and then went around Li Gongzi's head and strangled his eyes tightly. Coupled with Li Gongzi's previous behavior, it can be inferred that it should be to prevent him from seeing something.

When he had done this, the man took out a bottle full of red liquid and a brush, and handed it to the man surnamed Bai. The surnamed Bai also took it immediately, opened the cap of the bottle and dipped it with a brush, and drew a few strokes on the silk scarf in front of his eyes. It's like a child drawing, a few random times, but the result is definitely not what we thought.

Then they took out four black silk scarves and one white silk scarf, only the previous yellow one, which had been processed. It's just that this time he didn't strangle it, and gently tied four black silk scarves on Li Gongzi's wrists and ankles, and the white silk scarf was tied around his waist.

The surnamed Bai drew a few strokes separately again, still very casually.

After doing this, he nodded slightly to the other people, and those people began to support Li Gongzi and walk inside, but Li Gongzi still did not turn around, always with his back to the hole.

The one surnamed Bai stood at the end of the line, looking at us with a smile. He seemed willing to smile.

"Have you figured it out, can you get in?"

The three of us looked at him in silence.

He smiled slightly again and said, "You can come in at any time if you figure it out!" Then he went inside.

After he disappeared from our field of vision, I looked at Liu Yaxin and He Chao again, "Can't we get in?" ”

"That cold wind just now?" Liu Yaxin was still very frightened, and he didn't blame him, the cold wind was indeed very evil, and his heart trembled after being blown away.

He Chao saw Liu Yaxin like this, pondered for a few seconds, and then said to the two of us with certainty: "Go in!" Since the man surnamed Bai knew the situation and called us, he must have his purpose, and judging by their group, it was obvious that they had rehearsed this operation in advance. It's better to stay here than to go in and see what they're going to do, and it's always better to have more people than fewer people."

It seems that he is also afraid, people are like this, when they are afraid, they always want to stay in a crowded place.

I nodded and said, "Then let's go in and see what they're going to do, they're already here anyway, and we can't give them an excuse to pay their bills when the time comes."

The entrance to the tomb was enlarged when it was supported because the archaeological team was old and inconvenient to climb, and now it can be entered after crossing a "threshold".

When we turned the corner wall, the three of us were greeted by this situation.

The man surnamed Bai stood at the head of the coffin with his back hand; Li Gongzi knelt between the 'Yanmu Blood Cloud Coffin' and the east wall, facing the 'Yanmu Blood Cloud Coffin'; the other five people stood at the end of the coffin, but a brazier was erected between the five of them and the coffin; and among those members of the archaeological team, only the captain stood at the exit of the corner wall of the tomb on the other side, presumably the other team members had already entered the tomb where the 'Yanmu Baiyun Coffin' was placed.

Although the scene was a little unexpected, but after all, we took the money and couldn't say anything, but I still couldn't help it, looked at the surnamed Bai angrily, and said sharply to him: "Mr. Bai, didn't you say about lighting the fire beforehand, right?" Did you know that gas is most likely to accumulate at the end of this kind of closed roadway? This fire is likely to cause an explosion, and we're all here! ”

The man surnamed Bai was really a person who loved to laugh, smiled at us and said, "Don't get excited, you didn't ask us what we were going to do beforehand, how can I tell you?" And don't worry, I've already asked the quality inspector to check the gas concentration here in the past few days, and we don't want to put our lives on the line."

When he said this, I was speechless, so I had to scold him in my heart: "You gave so much money to keep your mouth shut, how can I ask!" How do I ask! Fuck you! ”

Then the white man motioned with his eyes for us to stand on the other side, and we were happy to stand in a crowded place anyway, and we were happy to stand in a crowded place. At that moment, the three of us walked behind the five people, standing side by side with the archaeological station master, looking at them like monkeys, just facing the two coffins, it was inevitable that we would be a little uncomfortable.

At that moment, those people began to take things out of their backpacks again, and I didn't know many things, but even if I was stupid, I now understood that what I was doing now must not be in line with science!

They first emptied their backpacks and put things at their feet, and then picked a few things and put them at the end and head of the coffin in order, because it looked much more convenient, although I didn't know each other, but the three of us still stared desperately.

Upon closer inspection, it was found that not all of them were unrecognized, and a few things were recognized. Among them: a number of pineapples, a number of apples, a large glass bottle of red sticky, a number of white candles...... There were also a few unknown fruits, as well as some round, square, and variously shaped things, like animal limbs.

They opened the glass bottle of red goo, first drew a notched circle starting from Li Gongzi's left shoulder and ending with his right shoulder, and then placed three red and green apples in the gap. At the same time, another person placed the four pineapples in the four top corners of the coffin in turn, and then the surnamed Bai came over and stood on the other side of the coffin, opposite the kneeling Li Gongzi, and in the middle was the swallow-eyed blood cloud coffin.

The surnamed Bai first bowed to the Yanmu Blood Cloud Coffin, then reached out and took the four white candles handed by one of the five people, walked back to the coffin again, and bowed to the Yanmu Blood Cloud Coffin. He pulled out one of the four white candles and placed it in the middle of the coffin.

Then he slowly took a lighter out of his jacket pocket, still slowly reaching for the wick of the candle. It's just that he didn't light the light for a long time, and after hesitating again and again, he withdrew his hand holding the lighter, looked at the candle and fell into deep thought.

The scene suddenly became very silent, the crackling sound coming from the brazier was very harsh, and I could even hear Li Gongzi's heavy breathing, he must have been nervous. Combined with the words that the surnamed Bai told us before, coupled with the situation in front of me, I vaguely feel that this Li Gongzi should also be a cursed person, presumably they should have come here this time to break the curse for Li Gongzi.

Thinking of this, I instantly understood the purpose of this surname Bai, if what he said before was true, then now he is helping us! He let us in, nothing more than the three of us to take a good look at these steps and have a chance to break the curse for ourselves in the future. But what if what he said before was false? He didn't have that need! I had a great impression of him at the moment.

I looked at the current environment again, for fear of missing some details, and then pulled down Liu Yaxin and He Chao beside me, and whispered to them: "Remember all the details!" Don't ask why, we'll talk about it later! ”

The two of them looked at me quizzically and nodded slightly.

At this time, the surnamed Bai finally moved, he looked up at the five people, and said, "It's almost a big deal!" Then he stretched out his hand and pointed directly at the black cloud coffin on the left side!

I saw that the sweat on the foreheads of those people was immediately seen, and they quickly took out four pineapples and walked to the black cloud coffin of Yanmu, and then placed them in the four top corners in turn. I didn't know what it meant, but I firmly remembered to press pineapples against the corners of the coffin.

The man surnamed Bai took out the lighter again and reached for the candle. This time he didn't hesitate, he just lit it, and then he stared at the dancing flame.

This time I know that I have seen this scene in the novel, it is called "people light candles, ghosts blow out lamps", and if the fire is extinguished, they will withdraw, which means that there is something unclean here.

The flame of the candle was constantly beating, but it had no intention of being extinguished.

After a long time, the surnamed Bai slowly let out a breath, bowed to the coffin again, and then slowly walked to Li Gongzi. Each of them picked up the three apples in front of him, carved something on them with a knife, and finally stuck the remaining three candles on the apples and lit them one by one.

With that done, he looked again at the five men in front of me, who began to put all the remaining materials on the ground into the brazier. For a moment, there was a firelight, and the air was filled with a smell of burning.

The surnamed Bai turned his head to look at the Yanmu Blood Cloud Coffin, and only after the firelight was much smaller did he turn his head, reached out and gently patted Li Gongzi's shoulder, and Li Gongzi suddenly trembled. He bent down again and blew out the three candles, then pulled them out and threw them on the ground one by one, picked up three apples, walked around Li Gongzi to the brazier, and threw the apples into them.

The man surnamed Bai turned his head to face the five people and glanced at them meaningfully. Although there were people in front of me, I had a feeling that this glance was looking at the three of us. Then he took out a piece of yellow paper from his bosom, with red handwriting on it, which should have written something, but we stood behind the five people, and we could only faintly see what looked like numbers through the gaps.

He threw the yellow paper into the brazier, and the paper fell into the brazier and was swallowed up instantly, and a stream of fire burst out, illuminating the tomb wonderfully.

At this moment, a cold wind surrounded me, but this time it was different from before, it was no longer the kind of cold that my heart was shivering, but the cold like freezing all over my body.

I feel like something is quietly happening!

"Let's go, it's over," the surnamed Bai said.

After Li Gongzi on the ground heard this, he trembled even more, I think he should be excited, depending on the situation, the ceremony should be completed. Two of the five walked towards Li Gongzi and helped him up, while the other three began to quickly clean up the mess.

And yet at this very moment, "Wait! "A burst scared us.

We all looked at each other in confusion, only to see that the man surnamed Bai was staring closely at the coffin of the Yanmu Blood Cloud Coffin, and the flame of the candle was still beating.

It's just that under the white candle, I don't know when there was an amputated hand......
