Chapter 159: Soul Snatcher

While dismantling the shroud white brocade, I briefly told Shirley Yang about something that happened not long ago, the witch punishment of "soul snatching" has been extinct in the Warring States Period, once in the Panjiayuan antique market, a few things suddenly appeared, it was an old farmer in Anyang, Henan, he took more than 100 strange-shaped bone tools to find a home, those things are a bit like "bone needles", but thicker and longer, the middle is hollow, all in an ancient clay pot full of ancient characters.

The old farmer said that it was dug up in the ground, because there were oracle bones on it, of course he didn't know it, but in his area, a lot of valuable cultural relics had been unearthed, he just thought that these "bone needles" could be taken to Beijing to sell for a lot of money, at that time we had a lot of people to see, but there were too many fakes at that time, no one could eat it, after all, this thing was too old, no one had ever seen it, and it was not even clear what it was.

As a result, there were just two Japanese who took a fancy to it, and they were going to be all wrapped at that time, but I didn't expect that at this time Lei Zi came, and even the people brought things all the buckles, it turned out to be the old farmer's hometown, and some people saw him dig out antiquities and felt red, and stabbed this matter, and chased it all the way to Beijing, and later heard that he dug out a jar of "bone needles", which was used by the Shang Dynasty to carry out the "soul snatching" witch torture tools, and now this thing fell in the local museum in Henan.

The fat man added on the side: "I also specially inquired, this set of Soul Snatcher Needles is now on hold, and one can be exchanged for an imported car, we didn't have enough eyesight at the beginning, otherwise...... Otherwise, it's our group that goes in and squats in the kiln now. ”

Shirley Young said: "So, taking the soul is a kind of torture that drains human blood? ”

I have removed all the white brocade wrapped in the bones of the coffin, and a pair of human legs are exposed, the shriveled skin is purple and brown, and it is full of round black marks, which should be the location where the soul-snatching needle has been stolen into the blood, I said to Shirley Yang and the fat man: "The blood is not exhausted, and it is said that the tortured person will be given a large amount of cow, sheep, chickens, etc., mixed with animal blood, which has been added to things like finch eyes and corpse rats, which have long been extinct, Anyway, it is to turn the living into zombies, and after we have thoroughly investigated, in order to prevent the corpse from changing, it is best to burn these two dried corpse legs, as well as the coffin of the bronze coffin. ”

"Corpse transformation" can be divided into several types, some are corpses, newly dead people, suddenly rise up and chase people with yang energy; Some are dead but not decomposing, and although they have been dead for a long time, their hair and nails are still growing slowly; There are also some corpses buried in the place where the leylines are stagnant due to bad feng shui, and the body grows fine hairs, which turn into murder in the tomb; There is another kind of corpse buried in the ground, which is paid by some old foxes, weasels, or plague gods, drought fish, and evil spirits, which can be even more troublesome. Extremely harmful.

The corpse in the bronze coffin of this king's tomb is fully equipped with the signs of "corpse transformation", and I think that since this situation is encountered, if there are conditions, we should try our best to destroy the corpse with signs of corpse transformation, which is beneficial to people. It can be regarded as making up for some losses of yin virtue, of course, if you encounter the "fierce" among the zombies, it is better to slip away as soon as possible.

The three corpses have been verified, and there is nothing superfluous in the coffin, as long as the corpses in the bronze coffin are burned again, and it is confirmed that only the upper body is in the coffin, then our inference can be completely confirmed, and the remaining two coffins in the upper chamber have no need to open them again.

I said to Shirley Yang: "Now I can guarantee the ticket, although the layout of the tomb of the king is strange, but since there is a shadow bone on the lower layer, it must be divided into heaven gate, earth, and the dragon is lurking, this is a tail, crab body, goldfish eye composed of a three-layer water tomb, the location of the real bones of the king, must be completely overlapped with the shadow bone in the wooden coffin, since the shadow bone has been confirmed, you can directly go along the vine to dig out the king." ”

Since we entered the gourd cave, until now, we have been moving continuously for more than ten hours, and our energy and physical strength have been consumed a lot, but now we finally have some eyebrows, and the spirit is lifted when we think of this.

I made a brief deployment, let Shirley Yang and the fat man stay in the "wooden coffin" first, burn the two corpses, one is to break the layout of the "Tomb of the King", and the other is to avoid the corpse in the bronze coffin in the future "corpse change", of course, you can also take the bronze mirror away, it will always be used in the future.

And I went up to find the "goldfish eye" first, before going up, I specially told Shirley Yang to let her look good at the fat man, be sure to light the coffin in the bronze coffin first, and then take away the bronze mirror, Shirley Yang nodded and agreed, and handed me the "Flying Tiger Claw": "You should be more careful yourself, don't always be so reckless." ”

Then I climbed the rotten "wooden fang" and crawled back to the tomb in the middle, the nine blue and faint "immortal candles" have not yet been extinguished, and the three candles in the southeast corner are still burning normally, although the light is weak, but it makes people feel reassured.

Looking up at the broken copper beam on the top of the tomb, due to the lack of light, it is difficult to see whether there is space on it for a while, but at the broken beam, there is a large white thing, I saw that the spotlight on the helmet did not work, and took out the "wolf eye", only then did I see clearly, the part exposed by the original tomb roof is a kind of white quartz similar to the wall of the underworld, about just above the "shadow bone", if you don't know that there may be a layer of tomb on the top, you won't notice this tiny trace at all.

I also used Shirley Yang's flying tiger claws to go up to the remaining copper beam on the top of the tomb, and removed the broken tomb bricks that covered the white rock inside, it really took a lot of effort, the area of the white rock above gradually increased, revealing a long and narrow olive-shaped entrance, took off the gloves and stretched over to try, there was a swishing cold air current, and then used the "wolf eye" flashlight to shine up, the height of the tomb above is difficult to determine.

At a cursory glance, it seems that there is a large circular cavity on it, similar to the funnel shape at the waterhole outside, but this is artificially repaired, the scale is not much, the diameter of the big cavity is only more than ten meters, there is a circling earth slope winding up, and then it is beyond the range of the "wolf's eye", and it is pitch black.

I cursed in my heart: "Even if King Xian dies, he still has to put himself at the highest place in the Yin Palace, and his dedication to power and immortal path has reached the point of perversion." "I still remembered my companions in the "wooden coffin" in my heart, and when I saw that the entrance had been confirmed, I tied the rope and the rock wedge, and returned to the floor of the middle tomb.

After a while, the fat man and Shirley Yang climbed up from the bottom, and the bronze mirror was in hand, which was the second most valuable trophy after the jade letter in the apse of the Heavenly Palace, and the fat man asked when he met: "The dry corpse in the bronze coffin does not have legs, and there are stone legs instead, how about Commander Hu, do you see a valuable weapon on it?" ”

But at this time, I was staring at the fire in the "wooden coffin" in a daze, deaf to the fat man's words, after a long time to come back to my senses, I always feel that there is an important thing, I can never think of it, in fact, I don't know whether I can't remember, or can't bear to think, the more I think about it, the more my head hurts, so I try not to think about it, I turned to the fat man and Shirley Yang and said: "Above the middle tomb, there is a big hollow, and the king must be hanging on the top, and the position corresponds to the shadow bone in the wooden coffin."

No one wanted to stay in the palace where the dead rested, so he climbed the top of the tomb more than three meters high with a rope and got into the entrance I had cleared earlier.

The ring wall is full of large-scale color murals painted all around, the Han Yi color and the religious color are inclusive, the wind of the king and the elegant and illusory coexistence of the fairy road, this is a painting style that has never been handed down in the world, a closer look, but also feel that the layout is thorough, the intention is rigorous, and the direct teaching is breathtaking, I estimate that it is for such a beautiful mural in the tomb, and the core of the tomb of the king should not be far away.

The figures in the painting are all angry-eyed gods, almost equal to the proportion of ordinary people, all of them are looking downward, as if they are looking at the comers at the bottom of the cave, their eyes are all three layers of crystal, inlaid with stones, streamers, as our position moves, the light of the eyes of the portrait is also moving, in short, this feeling of being seen by many portraits is very bad. The fat man was so hairy by the figures in the paintings that he took a sapper shovel to dig down a few crystal eyes, but the scale of the mural was huge, and there were hundreds of figures, and he had to try not to look at the eyes of those portraits, so as not to be afraid.

I have been thinking about the scorching flame breath in my heart, the strangely shaped bronze man, and I didn't pay much attention to the portrait in the big hollow, and walked up the spiraling ramp for a while, and finally remembered that it was about ten years ago, and humanity was: Ten years in a flick of a finger, you remember that in the smoke of the year, nine deaths and life were like yesterday......

Indeed, I have seen bronze figures in strange costumes and postures, but they ...... It was Kham Tsingpu under the snowy Kunlun Mountains......

All kinds of chaotic thoughts came to me for a while, and before I knew it, I had reached the highest point of the hollow, relying on the distance between the fat man and Shinley Yang, and the end was sealed by a white stone wall, I raised my eyes to see that there was a woman painted on the wall in front of me, this is a portrait of the king's wife, right?

I thought so in my heart, and before I could even see the appearance of the woman's costume in the painting, I felt that my wrist suddenly tightened, as if it was firmly held by an iron hoop, and I hurriedly withdrew my hand, but it was so tightly buckled that I couldn't break free at all, and I suddenly felt pain into the bone marrow, and when I looked down, I saw a white human hand, stretched out from the portrait of the woman opposite, and grabbed my arm.

The five fingers of the man's hand are slender, and there is no blood in the white, it is a woman's hand, but the strength is great, is this wall the place where the king's wife is buried, under the severe pain, I didn't have time to look up to see what changes have been made in the mural opposite, so I had to endure the pain and take a breath, and raised the "Chicago typewriter" with the other hand, Miai's muzzle was not raised, and a hand was stretched out from the mural coldly, like an iron tong from the water, and I was strangled by my neck, and the feeling of suffocation suddenly made my eyes black.
