Chapter 17: Three Heads and Six Arms
The giant worm approached us with dozens of pairs and hundreds of long legs. Seeing the stone door that was about to close, Hu Yang was pushed hard and fell into the door, and then I was hit on the ass and fell in, and the light thrown in from outside the door quickly turned into a slit, and suddenly a figure flashed in sideways, and then the stone door was gently closed together.
I gasped and lay on the ground, sighing with emotion: "I really miss lying on the sofa blowing the air conditioner, eating watermelon and watching TV." Meng Jian, I'll call you Meng Ge, if you can leave a contact information after you go out, let's say it's also a sad time. β
Hearing the sound of a figure in the dark, he slowly got up and leaned against the wall, only to see a little spark light up from his hand, which turned out to be a fire break. Meng Jian let Hu Yang hold the fire fold, he touched my arm and chest, and said: "Fortunately, my arm is not broken, it is just a contusion, and I can recover after resting for half a month after going out." But let's leave quickly, that bug will definitely not give up so lightly. β
I was still listening to him, but there was a muffled sound, and I almost screamed in pain, but it turned out that when I was not paying attention, I straightened the ribs that were shifted, and the speed of the technique was too fast.
Meng Jian wrapped the strip of cloth around my chest and said, "It's still a trivial matter to leave a contact information, and I'm more concerned about whether your chick deliberately locked us out." β
As soon as he said this, my heart was cold, and I turned my head to look at Hu Yang, only to see that his face also turned pale, and explained: "Junjun is definitely not such a woman, I swear!" Bamboo, you have to believe me, Junjun must have been careless. β
Meng Jian snorted coldly, with contempt in his eyes, and helped me up with a knife: "What kind of person is she, it's useless for you to swear, find her later, don't you know." Anyway, what I know is that there is an opening mechanism inside and outside this stone gate, which is for the tomb owner to pass through, and it is a trap door. β
Hu Yang's face was red, and he explained weakly: "Maybe it's too dark, Junjun, she accidentally touched the mechanism, and she was very scared at that time." β
I saw that Meng Jian was about to say, so I immediately intercepted the conversation: "Don't say it, it's right that Hu Yang is her boyfriend defended her, but it's also a fact that she locked us out, now it's just to find her first, let's confront her face to face." β
To be honest, if it was really deliberate, then such a woman is too terrible, no matter how beautiful she is, she is also a poisonous scorpion, what is the difference between it and the dragon worm outside? It seems that after going out, find a way to keep Hu Yang away from this woman.
Meng Jian was expressionless and didn't speak, Hu Yang lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking, the three of us continued to walk in a dull manner, this passage doesn't seem to be a tomb road, and the surrounding walls don't look like they are made of adobe bricks, I took a closer look at the fire fold and found that it was gray and misty and a little crystal clear, I couldn't help but want to touch it with my hands, Meng Jian grabbed my hand: "Don't touch it, this is gray jade, also called dead jade, it is a jade that has been infected by corpse gas, and it has corpse poison." β
"Corpse poison?" I was so frightened that I quickly withdrew my hand and walked to the middle to get away from it.
Hu Yang looked at this piece of jade with a worried face and looked at the front of the passage, looking at his appearance, I couldn't help but say: "Don't worry, if Yang Junjun really touched this thing, he would be lying on the ground waiting for us now, we haven't seen her after walking so far, it's definitely okay, don't think about it." β
At this time, Hu Yang said with a solemn face: "Bamboo, I found that this path is wrong, it seems that it is specially for the dead." β
Meng Jian looked at him in surprise, pointed at the darkness in front of him with a knife and said: "It's not for the dead, if it's right, there should be a sacrificial pit or something in front, the corpse qi floated over from it and was absorbed by the jade, and the person who designed this tomb thought about it quite thoroughly." β
Seeing the puzzled faces of Hu Yang and me, he continued: "Jade can suck corpse qi, and the owner of the tomb is probably also a person who loves cleanliness, so he brought corpse qi here." But that chick will definitely be scared enough to run there alone, seeing that the jade road is full of dead people, there must be a lot of dead people in front of her. β
Although his words were suspected of scaring people, but they really worked, and we heard a scream echoing in the jade road, we couldn't help but speed up our pace, and after a few minutes we saw the circular opening, it seemed that we had finally finished walking this corpse qi path, and when we were about to walk, we saw a petite figure squatting on the ground with its head in its arms.
Hu Yang blurted out: "Junjun! β
The woman's body shook obviously, and when she looked up and saw that it was us, she cried out and threw herself into Hu Yang's arms, and after a while she was quiet, she said, "There are a lot of dead people and a monster in there." β
Seeing her miserable appearance with pear blossoms and rain, Meng Jian and I swallowed back what we originally wanted to say.
When he heard me say that he wanted to go in, Yang Junjun was 10,000 unwilling. Meng Jian glared at her coldly and said, "If you don't go in, do you have to go back to feed the big bugs?" β
After speaking, he helped me in, and Hu Yang took her to follow after a few words of comfort. After walking more than ten meters forward, I came to a wide corridor, from which a huge gray jade sculpture hung down, and I glanced at the figure on the jade carving, like a triangle formed by three leaves.
Hu Yang also looked at the jade carving and said in surprise: "Don't you look like three eyes?" β
Hearing him say this, it was really a bit similar, I asked Yang Junjun: "Aren't you studying folklore, what is the explanation for this?" β
Yang Junjun looked at the jade carving in shock, lay on Hu Yang's arms and said: "In many religious ceremonies in the East and the West, people are accustomed to painting a third eye between their eyebrows, believing that in this way they can obtain a direct channel of communication with the universe, so as to obtain special power to override ordinary people and symbolize supremacy. I just saw that the dead people were all sacrificed by religion, right? β
If she explains it this way, then there is a reason for saying it in the past. Walking through the corridor to a larger space, we descended the steps made of jade, and found that it was pitch black, and only a few meters away could not be seen through the fire fold in our hands.
After taking a few steps forward, Yang Junjun took out her mobile phone to illuminate it, and Hu Yang pointed to a vague shadow like a pool in front of him: "Damn, it won't be a pool again." β
"It's not a pool, the dead people I just talked about are in it." Yang Junjun hid behind him and whispered, "And that monster-like thing is on the other side." β
Meng Jian muffled and lit a fire fold, this time the light source is much better, we swept our eyes, there were indeed a lot of dead corpses in it, and only after we got closer did we see that these dead corpses were all in different places, some were disemboweled, some had no hands and feet, it was cruel to the extreme, it was really hard to imagine what the scene was like at that time. The surface of the pit was dry, and a thick layer of blood cocoons had long since turned black.
"Huh! Here's the good stuff! β
Hu Yang walked to a stone platform, picked up a bronze knife engraved with strange patterns and played with it, and was about to put it away. Meng Jian drank him: "That is the sacrificial knife used by others when they sacrifice, and it is specially used to dissect the sacrifice." Don't mess with these things, put them back in quickly. β
I was also afraid that something would make trouble, so I hurriedly persuaded him, and Hu Yang had no choice but to put the bronze knife back in its place.
Suddenly, there was a muffled sound, and we turned pale in shock, and looked behind the sacrificial pit, only to see a bronze statue standing there, because it was a little dark, it looked a little blurry, and when we walked over, we saw a huge bronze statue with a hideous face facing us, staring at us fiercely, and everyone was surprised that it had three faces and six hands.
It's actually three heads and six arms!
Is it that just made the noise?
I turned my head to look at Meng Jian, he walked over with a pale face, put the one in his hand at his feet and knelt down respectfully, at first I thought he was stunned, but I saw the hand behind his back and signaled to us to come and kneel down, only to know that I was not fascinated.
To be honest, I've lived for more than 20 years and only knelt for my grandparents and parents, and now let me kneel for a bronze statue, which is really a bit unacceptable, and the three of us are still hesitating there, and the hand of the sword is even happier.
Just as we hesitated, the three-headed six-armed bronze figure suddenly jumped on the spot and began to shake violently from side to side, making a terrifying sound inside the figure, like a cow panting. Seeing Hu Yang and Yang Junjun looking so frightened that Cheng DΓΉ was twisted, I pulled them down and knelt down, and bowed three times and bowed nine times like a sword.
Meng Jian's head was bleeding and did not wipe it, but used the knife to cut a hole in the palm of his hand, dripping fresh blood on the ground. The bronze statue suddenly steadied and did not move, and there was no sound. Seeing this, Meng Jian immediately kowtowed to the ground again, pulled us up, and quickly walked around the bronze figure towards the corridor behind it.
He didn't say a word during the whole process, until he left the road, he collapsed against the wall and gasped for breath, I have never seen him so afraid of anything, even if he met a dragon worm, he dared to fight to the death in front of the bronze statue. Meng Jian may or may not see what we think, but he just smiled bitterly and waved his hand: "It wasn't a bronze statue at all just now, it was a human-shaped bronze coffin, which was used by the princes before Zhou." β
"You mean that the thing inside is a large rice dumpling that is thousands of years old?" I let out a sweat of surprise, and then what he continued to say made us tremble.
"Zongzi? Hehe, compared to the ancestor in the coffin, it's not even Mao. β
Meng Jian gasped, and gradually stabilized: "Don't ask, what's inside, you can come back and pry it open when you have a chance in the future?" When the time comes, even if you ask the gods, you won't be able to get out of here. β
PS: It's been so long since I started, and I've never asked everyone for collections and recommendations. I specially asked for it today, and I always have to give some motivation to write when I read a book!
