Chapter 63: The Shadow of the Light
Light shadow
The shadow of the candle flickered in the corners of the temple, flickering in the corners of the walls, and a large, pale human face appeared at the edge of the lamp, and his body was hidden in the darkness beyond the range of the candle.
I and the big gold-toothed fat man stood at the stone gate connecting the front hall and the underworld, the area of the underworld was very light, my wolf's eye flashlight could not shine there, because it was far away, it seemed that the face was blurry and indistinguishable, and the ghost was full of spirit.
When we first entered the temple of Hades, we had carefully and thoroughly looked at every corner of the temple, and there was nothing in the temple at that time, only the uncolored paintings on the four walls, and the murals were painted with plump palace maids, and there was no such huge face, although the distance was relatively far away, we could not see clearly whose face appeared in the corner through the candle.
The two sides confronted each other for a long time, the other party did not move, and the fat man lowered his voice and asked me: "Old Hu, I think the guy on the other side is not a good stubble, it is not appropriate to stay here for a long time, let's withdraw." ”
I also whispered to the fat man and the big gold tooth, "Don't act rashly, first find out if he is a human or a ghost." ”
I can't tell whether the owner of the face on the other side is a man or a woman, old or young, there is no coffin in this hall, and naturally there will be no zongzi, it is possible that the other party took advantage of us in the front hall, from the thief hole to get in, this thief hole is not anyone dares to drill, maybe the other party is also a gold captain.
Thinking of Captain Touching Jin, I immediately thought of the senior who cultivated the Fishbone Temple, could it be ...... He's not dead yet? Or maybe he never found his way out and was trapped in the vicinity, and what we see now is his ghost?
If the ghost falls, it's not a big deal, we all have the Golden Buddha Jade Guanyin Protection, and if the other party really touches the Golden Captain, he and we have a bit of incense, maybe they can guide us out.
Regardless of whether the other party is a human or a ghost, we must first break this deadlock, just like this has been a stalemate, there is no benefit to us, thinking of this, I said loudly to the person in the southeast corner with a sleeve: "The black fold probe dragon lifts the treasure cover, moves the mountain and opens the hill with a hole in the sky, the star Luo suddenly opens, and the Beidou gathers the south light." ”
I said these words very politely, probably meaning that they are all mixed rice in the pot of touching gold, since they bumped together, there must be a first to come, we are later, we dare not plunder the beauty of people, it is convenient, this is walking.
As the saying goes, "three hundred and sixty lines, the line is the champion", these three hundred and sixty lines refer to the various livelihoods in the world, life in the world, must have a skill, in order to be based on the society, with the ability to earn food, do not have to worry about starving to death and freezing to death on the street.
In addition to these three hundred and sixty lines, there are also eight other lines, which belong to another category, that is, they are not among the regular business students, and they do not belong to the genus of workers, peasants, soldiers, scholars, and businessmen.
The state has national laws, there are rules, even the rice flower is governed by a beggar gang leader, this kind of secret and mysterious business, there are more rules, such as a tomb, after opening the mound, go in to touch the gold, and then come out, never allow a gold captain to go back and forth in a thief hole several times.
At most, you are only allowed to go in once and come out once, after all, it is a resting place, not your own backyard, and so on.
One of them is that between peers and peers, two passers-by have their eyes on a mound and want to move the carapace, so whoever arrives first is counted as whom, and those who come later can also go in, but if there is anything, it should be selected by the person who goes first.
Because of the strict rules of the Touching Gold Captain, unlike ordinary tomb robbers, an ancient tomb only takes one or two things and stops, and the burial goods in the noble tombs are very rich, so there will not be much conflict between them.
A tomb only takes one or two things, the origin of this rule, one is to avoid doing too much work, and the fate cannot accommodate such a large pile of wealth, so as not to set yourself on fire.
There is another important reason that no matter how many ancient tombs there are in the world, there is also a time when the excavation is completed, and you can't do things absolutely, and if you make a fortune, you have to leave a way for your peers to survive.
This is the biggest difference between the professional gold school captain and the tomb robbers, the tomb robbers often fight because of one or two bright weapons, and fratricidal abounds, because they rarely can find the tomb, and they don't understand the power of it, and they don't know that the bright weapon is the curse, and they will suffer retribution if they take too much.
During the Three Kingdoms, Cao Mengde was paid for the army, and specially set up the post of Faqiu and touching gold, in fact, the military rank of Zhonglang General Captain was set up by Cao Cao, but the name of touching gold and Faqiu, as well as moving mountains and unloading mountains are all in the late Qin and early Han dynasties, there are already four inverted fighting sects in the world, but the disciples of these sects are secretive, the world does not know, and there is no record in the history books.
He has a whole set of special signs, incisions, and techniques, as long as he understands the rules and terms, they are all the same door, like this kind of robbery hole from the void into the underworld, only the master of the Jinjin school captain can do it, I used to know some of these things from my grandfather, and some of them were learned from Shirley Yang on the way back from the desert.
So I think since they are the same people, there is nothing difficult to discuss, of course, this is on the premise that the other party is still a living person, if it is a ghost and ghost, most of them will not turn their faces, and it is a big deal that we solemnly bury his body.
After I finished speaking, I waited for the other party to respond, in this case, if that person is also an expert in inverted fighting, I have given the other party enough faces, presumably he will not be unable to get along with us, even if it is the undead spirit of the golden captain who has been moving forward for decades, he should not embarrass us.
However, after waiting for a long time, the other party did not respond at all, the candle had already burned more than half, and the person in the southeast corner of the temple was still as indifferent as before, as if he had been carved in clay and stone.
I thought to myself, I should not be a person in the industry anymore, I couldn't understand my lips, and I repeated it aloud in the vernacular, but the other party still didn't move.
If you want to leave the temple, you must go to the entrance of the cave in the middle of the temple, but the one behind the lamp looks at us directly, I don't know what we want to do, and we don't know what we want to do, and we don't know what the other party wants, so we don't dare to rush over.
I thought about it, could it be that this idea was not to touch the golden captain, but the master of this ancient tomb, that would be difficult to do, and shouted at the southeast corner of the temple: "Hey...... The one on the other side, what are you sacred, we just passed by here, and saw a thief hole, so we came in to visit, and we didn't think about it. ”
Seeing that the other party still didn't move, the fat man also became agitated, and shouted: "Where are we going back and forth from here, if you don't speak, we will acquiesce to you, don't regret it then......"
The big gold tooth whispered to us behind him: "I said Hu Ye Fat Master, the characters over there are not painted on the murals on the wall, we didn't see clearly, this candle light and shadow are enough, I can see it is really easy to dazzle my eyes." ”
As soon as he said this, the two of us were even more bottomless, and for a while we had doubts about our memory, damn it, if that's the case, then our face can be planted, and we almost scared ourselves to death in the past few minutes, but it really doesn't look like a painting.
This temple, including the entire ancient tomb, is very evil, we just entered the temple of the underworld and really didn't find anything, but when we entered the cave of thieves, didn't there be no boulders on the way, and it was difficult to guarantee that something would not suddenly appear out of thin air in this temple, what is it? Is it a ghost? Is it a demon? Or is it the painting on the tomb wall, as the big gold tooth guessed?
Seeing that the candle on the ground was about to burn to the end, at this time we could no longer consume it, I secretly pulled out the paratrooper knife in my hand, this kind of knife was imported into China by Russia, specially used to cut ropes, such as after the parachute jump, the parachute hung on the tree, people hanging in the air, you can use this special knife to cut the parachute rope, this knife is very short and concise, the handle is long and the blade is short, very sharp, it is very convenient to wear on the body, we came to Shaanxi this time, it is in the mainland, did not dare to wear a dagger, so we wore a few short paratrooper knives to defend ourselves.
I held the golden Buddha in my other hand, glanced at the fat man and the big gold tooth, and went over together to see what the other party was, and the fat man also pulled out the sapper shovel and handed the two big white geese to the big gold tooth to lead.
The three of them formed an inverted triangle formation, and the fat man and I were in front, with big gold teeth leading the goose, holding a flashlight behind, and slowly walking towards the candle in the southeast corner.
Every step I took held the paratrooper knife in my hand there was a little more cold sweat, at this time I can't tell whether I was scared or nervous, I even expected the other party to be a zongzi, jumping out and fighting with me happily, so silent and ghostly standing in the dark corner, more infiltrating than the hairy zongzi.
Just as the person on the other side was about to enter the illumination range of our wolf's eye flashlight, the candle on the ground burned to the end, and a wisp of green smoke quietly extinguished.
As the candle went out, the face behind the lamp immediately disappeared into darkness.
