Volume 1 Darkness Rising Chapter 22 Encountering a ghost

The third mural depicts the corpses of the vultures, and countless meteorites are falling from the sky, spewing red magma from the ground.

The events depicted on this mural were exactly what Tamar had sensed from the corpse.

The fourth mural depicts the men in white robes, all looking at the shirtless man with flattering expressions. A woman snuggled into the man's arms. Looking at the man's expression, he seemed to be very proud.

The fifth mural shows a woman holding a sword in the hands of a naked man, while the others have smug and hideous expressions, and like the first mural, they severely rebuke the shirtless man.

The faces of the women depicted in the fourth and fifth frescoes are blurry, and it is difficult to see their faces, but they appear to be the same person in costume and figure.

Behind the fifth mural, there are traces of being chiseled by a sword, obviously behind the fifth mural, there should be more murals, but for some reason, someone destroyed it.

The fat man stared at the shirtless man on the mural, and said to himself, "That man who is as afraid of heat as Lao Tzu, why does the sword in his hand look so familiar." ”

Suddenly thinking of something, he pointed to the long sword in the hand of the shirtless man on the mural, and said loudly, "Oh, you say that this sword is not like Zhou Chang's iron sword." ”

Hearing what the fat man said, everyone took a closer look at the sword, and it was indeed somewhat similar to Zhou Chang's iron sword.

"My mother, Zhou Chang's broken sword, shouldn't it be an ancient artifact?" The fat man opened his mouth wide.

Taizhang suddenly said coldly: "What do you know, if his sword is really an ancient artifact, it naturally has powerful divine power, how can it be sealed and banned." Moreover, it is difficult to say whether these murals are left over from ancient times. ”

As he spoke, Taizhang looked at Tamar, as if he wanted her to use the power of explorers to see when these murals were carved and what kind of stories had happened on them.

Tamar knew what Taizhang meant, and she shook her head at Taizhang, "It's too evil here, I don't dare to use the power of exploration indiscriminately." ”

At this time, the fat man saw that Taizhang denied Zhou Chang's iron sword was an ancient artifact, his face showed a look of disappointment, and he had no intention of looking at any more murals, so he went to find an artifact elsewhere.

Kana looked at the mural, her already snow-white face suddenly turned frighteningly white, and there seemed to be a faint sadness in her eyes.

Zhou Chang noticed Kana's strange appearance, and was about to ask, when he suddenly heard the fat man shouting: "Lao Tzu has found the artifact, hahaha, Lao Tzu will also become a rich man." ”

The fat man's cry of surprise attracted everyone's attention, and the fat man was holding a wooden box and jumping excitedly. The wooden box was pitch black, and the place where it opened and closed was locked by a small bronze lock.

Due to the age, the small bronze lock was already full of rust spots, and the fat man gently pulled it, and the bronze lock was broken.

The fat man was about to open the wooden box, but Taizhang suddenly stopped him: "Don't open it, this is a sealed wooden box, and it may contain some terrible evil spirits." ”

When the fat man heard Taizhang's words, he was startled, his hands were unsteady, and the wooden box fell to the ground. There was a snap, and the wooden box was broken, revealing a strange book.

The book looks very heavy, the writing is lacquered gold, and the polish is smooth. There is a relief of the head of an animal in the center of the writing. There is also a line of strange text under the beast's head that looks like the title of the book,

Seeing that it was a book, the fat man's heart suddenly became angry, and he pointed at Taizhang and scolded: "Damn, where is the evil spirit?"

Taizhang sneered, "I just said that there may be, but I didn't say that there will be." ”

After speaking, Taizhang walked over to the book that fell to the ground. He was very strange, he had obviously seen the prohibition of sealing evil spirits on the wooden box, how could it be a book after the wooden box was broken. Could it be that the prohibition has been invalidated because of age, and the evil spirits have escaped?

With a question, Taizhang walked over to the strange book, and he was about to bend down to pick it up. The fat man suddenly took the lead, picked up the book, and raised it in his hand to Taizhang, "This book was discovered by Lao Tzu first, according to the Terran Convention, there is no owner, whoever discovers it first is whoever finds it." ”

Taizhang had learned some of the Onmyoji's Qi Lookout techniques, and when he approached, he had already found that there were no evil spirits at all, and he himself was not much interested in this kind of book of unknown origin, but when he saw the fat man's smug expression, he couldn't help but sneer: "As long as you are not afraid of the evil spirits attached to the book, just take it." As he spoke, he turned around and walked to the other side, looking up and down the palace room, as if looking for a way out.

Hearing Taizhang say this, the fat man wanted to throw away the book, but he had already lost face in front of the three ladies once before because of Taizhang's words, and now if he believed Taizhang's words, what face would he have to face the beautiful girls in the future.

However, the fat man had his own way, he walked to Zhou Chang's side, smiled at Zhou Chang, stretched out his hand and handed the book to Zhou Chang and said, "Zhou Chang help me get it, I'll find a place to make it convenient." ”

Zhou Chang didn't think much about it, nodded in agreement, and took the book from the fat man's hand.

Seeing that Zhou Chang took the book without hesitation, the fat man felt a little guilty, and whispered in Zhou Chang's ear, "If you feel any discomfort with holding this book, just throw it away, anyway, I picked it up, and I don't care." ”

Before Zhou Chang understood the meaning of the fat man's words, the fat man had already drilled into the corridor.

At this time, Kana, who was standing aside, suddenly said to Zhou Chang: "Zhou Chang, can you lend me this book to read?"

At this time, Angelina walked over, opened her mouth, and after hearing Kana's words, she closed it again, looking at her appearance as if she also wanted to read the book.

Zhou Chang was not interested in this book, and before Kana finished speaking, he had already reached out and handed the book over.

Kana took the book and opened it and looked at it carefully, Zhou Chang also glanced at the words on the book, only to feel that the words on it seemed to be turning, and his head was dizzy. So, he went to Tamar, who was still studying the murals, and wanted to ask Tamar if he knew the way out.

Tamar saw Zhou Chang coming over and smiled at him, "You have something to do with me." ”

Zhou Chang nodded, "I want to ask Miss Tamar if she knows the way out." ”

Tamar pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I sensed from that corpse that the last location was here." However, I believe that there will be a way out here. ”

Zhou Chang couldn't help but worry when he saw Tamar's flickering words, "I think this seems to be a flooded ancient palace, how can there be a way out?"

Tamar bared her white teeth and smiled, "I don't think so, I think this is more like a place of refuge. ”

As he spoke, Tamar stepped on the ground, "It can't be a desert here, let alone how the sea sank?

Zhou Chang also listened to the old people in the village talk about the sunken monuments, and only then did he think that this palace room may have fallen from the ground. However, hearing Tamar's rhetorical question, I was not only amused by my own guess. He scratched his head to hide his embarrassment, "Miss Tamar has a point, it's that I'm thinking too much. ”

As he spoke, he was about to walk away. Tamar suddenly stopped him, "Can you show me the bracelet you got again?"

Zhou Chang took off the bracelet and handed it to Tamar while saying with a smile, "You can look at it for as long as you want." ”

Tamar thanked Zhou Chang, took the bracelet, and looked at the pattern on the back of the bracelet.

After a while, Tamar seemed to have discovered some secret, and with a hint of joy on his face, he walked towards the oil lamp.

Coming to the oil lamp, Tamar raised his bracelet to the light of the lamp. She saw a mist of water through the center of the inner circle of the bracelet, and a heavy book emerged from the mist, the shape of which was almost exactly the same as the one the fat man had found.

Tamar looked at it for a moment and saw that the bracelet seemed to have some connection to the book, but it was difficult to guess what the connection was.

So, Tamar returned the bracelet to Zhou Chang and turned to Kana's side.

When Tamar saw the strange words in the book, his first reaction was that those strange words seemed to be turning, and he felt as dizzy as Zhou Chang.

Zhou Chang also noticed Tamar's strange appearance, and stepped forward and said with a smile: "Miss Tamar, do you also feel that the words in the book seem to be turning?"

Tamar only used his exploration power to be counterattacked, and his physical strength was seriously overdrawn, so he would be dazzled when he looked at it. But hearing Zhou Chang say this, it seems that he also feels the same way as himself. Suddenly I felt that something was wrong, but I couldn't say why.

Seeing that Kana didn't seem to be affected, Tamar couldn't help but ask curiously, "Miss Kana, have you noticed that these words are turning?"

Kana nodded, and suddenly closed the book, "This book is so weird, it's not for mortals to understand. ”

This underground palace room was already cold and damp, and coupled with Kana's cold voice, it was even more gloomy.

With that, Kana returned the book to Zhou Chang and walked to the three white stone pillars.

As soon as Zhou Chang took the book handed over by Kana, he saw the fat man limping out of the Yongdaokou with a sad expression.

Zhou Chang walked towards the fat man, and the fat man would glance at the Yongdaokou every time he walked, and he couldn't help but bump into Zhou Chang's chest who was coming over, and suddenly screamed in fright, "Ghost!"

The fat man's pig-like cry attracted everyone's attention.

Zhou Chang slapped the fat man's face twice, "Fat man, what are you yelling about, where is the ghost?"

The fat man froze down, looked up, and saw that it was Zhou Chang, his tense nerves suddenly relaxed, and he let out a long breath, "Damn, it's the evil sect." ”

He glanced back at Yongdao again, "When I went in to pee in the corridor just now, I suddenly heard a voice talking on the stone steps we came down. Lao Tzu ran over with courage, and the sound suddenly disappeared, and Lao Tzu thought that there was an auditory hallucination, so he unbuttoned his pants and prepared to pee. At that moment, the voice rang out, and it was right at my feet. All of a sudden, Lao Tzu had no intention of urinating, and the road was too dark to see, so he had to bend down to touch it. When Lao Tzu's hand was about to touch the ground, he was suddenly grabbed by a hand. ”

The fat man paused and swallowed, "That shouldn't be considered a hand, because that hand is very hard and fleshless." Lao Tzu suddenly remembered the skeleton that fell, could it be that the skeleton suddenly came back to life. When I thought of this, I didn't spill any more pee, and I desperately shook off the strange hand that grabbed me, and ran back desperately. Because it was too dark, I couldn't see the road ahead clearly, and I fell several times. ”

Zhou Chang looked the fat man up and down, only to find that his face was blue and purple, and the white belly exposed by his worn clothes was indescribably funny.

Seeing Zhou Chang staring at his belly, the fat man couldn't help but push Zhou Chang away, "Damn, my fat man's image has been ruined, and the first thing I want to do when I go out is to buy a good dress." ”

Anyway, his clothes have been tattered for a long time, and his round belly has long been seen by everyone, and there is nothing to hide. At that moment, I found a secluded place and sat down.

As soon as the fat man's butt hit the ground, Zhou Chang followed and asked him to return the book.

Since he heard Taizhang say that this book may be attached to evil spirits, where did the fat man dare to ask for it, he waved his hand and said to Zhou Chang, "I gave it to you, if you don't want it, just throw it away." ”

Zhou Chang saw the fat man say this, looked at the golden writing, and said in his heart that this writing may be pure gold, and it should be able to exchange it for a few gold coins.

Thinking of this, Zhou Changshe didn't lose it, took it in his hand and sat down next to the fat man, and hit the fat man with his shoulder, "Fat man, you must be the skeleton we saw above that you grabbed you?"

When the fat man heard Zhou Chang mention this again, he couldn't help but think about the mess just now, and pouted, "What did Lao Tzu lie to you about, I don't believe you went in and saw it yourself." ”

Zhou Chang shrugged his shoulders, "I'll look at it when I have the urge to urinate." ”

After Zhou Chang said this, the urine that was not discharged from the fat man's body bulged again. He glared at Zhou Chang, "Damn, you don't have anything to pee." ”

As he spoke, he stood up and pulled Zhou Chang to pee with him.
