Chapter 61: Clay Pots

Yang Xue said amazingly, the three of us were shocked by the strange thing that happened in front of us, an ancient female corpse frozen in the depths of the ice sent us a distress signal, which is not often seen in the novel The scene actually happened in reality. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoSince the ice still has a certain thickness, we can't see the appearance of the female corpse clearly, but her figure is relatively tall, and she is probably already a giantess compared to ancient people. She put her mouth on the ice and closed it one by one, as if to say something to us, and when we were stunned and indifferent, she knocked on the ice again, as if to remind us to let her out.

"Conspiracy!"

Uncle Ma took two steps back, and suddenly let out a strange scream, pointing at the female corpse inside and shouting, "This is a conspiracy!" Can't let her out, this is a thousand-year-old female ghost, once released and no one can surrender, I'm afraid all of us will die here! ”

Uncle Ma's face is very ugly, with his personality, he will definitely not be alarmist at this time, and he must have the bottom of his heart to make such a judgment. Moreover, among the few of us, only Uncle Ma knows how to subdue demons and eliminate demons, and even he is scared like this, and the female corpse in the ice is probably not the master to be messed with.

"She looks like she's still alive!"

Yang Xue pointed to the female corpse in the ice and muttered to herself.

I couldn't help but interject:

"What's that? How can a corpse that has been frozen for hundreds of years come back to life? What else could this be if it weren't a demon? I see that you have confused your head because of injuries, but I should have listened to your advice earlier, Uncle Ma is right, we will all die miserably if we dig her out! ”

Yang Xue was scolded by me, her mouth flattened, and she said a little angrily:

"If a person is quickly frozen in an instant, he can remain immortal, maybe ......"

"Do you have common sense!" I couldn't help but roar, "After the human body is frozen, the water in the body will be sucked dry by the ice, and finally become a dried corpse, how can it be alive?" You've watched too many sci-fi movies, right? The hibernator in the movie does not use an ice cube, but a pure liquid nitrogen, which can quickly reduce the temperature to minus 200 degrees, how can ordinary ice cubes do it? I think you're really sick and confused! ”

Yang Xue glared at me with an unhappy face:

"What are you murderous? How come I don't have common sense? It's not that I don't know what you're talking about, but in the case of rapid freezing, living things can still remain immortal, as was the case in avalanche events, where a person was buried alive in the ice and snow for decades, miraculously survived after being thawed, and still maintained his youthful appearance and physical features, despite being in his 80s......"

"Don't listen to those Yankees!" I was furious and said, "How could this happen?" ”

Yang Xue looked at me as if she had lost her mind a little, and knew that there was no point in arguing with me, so she turned her head and ignored me, and went to observe the frozen female corpse again. At this time, the female corpse had stopped all movements, just pressed the blurred face against the ice, and looked out in a daze. It was so weird that the female corpse seemed to be able to hear our side of the discussion, and seemed to be able to understand modern language.

I shook my head to keep myself awake and gave Lao Yang a look, wanting to ask him what he meant.

Lao Yang also kept looking at the frozen female corpse, and his face was pale with fright from the strange events that appeared continuously, and when he saw me asking for his opinion, he finally seemed to grasp the life-saving straw, and immediately said to me:

"In my opinion, the safest thing to do is not to touch this corpse, whether she is alive or dead, we don't care, it won't do us any good to release it anyway."

Unexpectedly, Yang Xue snatched the mountaineering pickaxe as if she was enchanted, and swung it vigorously, trying to dig up the remaining ice. I was so angry that I rushed over and grabbed the pickaxe with a lunge and asked her what she wanted.

"How's that?" Yang Xue said angrily, "I want to save her!" ”

"You're crazy!" I shouted, "Get her out? Do you know what she is? What if it's a monster? ”

"Impossible!" Yang Xue said with a little confidence, "I really have a very strong feeling...... I think I've seen this guy somewhere...... Where the hell is it......"

Yang Xue was talking frantically, and at this time, suddenly there was a sound of footsteps from outside, these footsteps were faint at first but immediately increased, accompanied by some faint voices. I can't do it well, it must have been another team that found the cave on the left leading to the original path, so they retreated into the ice cave in the middle. In a panic, I hurriedly glanced at Lao Yang, who immediately understood, grabbed Yang Xue's arm, and shouted in a low voice:

"Let's go, the mountain ghost is coming!"

The footsteps came very suddenly, Yang Xue and Uncle Ma had already heard it, although a vague sound of speech had already reached their ears, but they didn't know the existence of parallel space, and subconsciously thought that the voice must be a ghost. I helped Yang Xue up, and a few people quickly sorted out their backpacks and walked briskly towards the deeper part of the cave. When the frozen female corpse saw us leaving, she suddenly slapped the ice like crazy, writhing desperately in the ice, her mouth wide open, revealing a terrifying expression. But we don't care about all this anymore, Yang Xue was dragged away by us just by looking back, and the footsteps of the other team are getting closer and closer, it seems that they are speeding forward, and they want to fight with us to break the net.

We continued to walk deeper along the ice cave, and after the first widening cave, the ice cave gradually narrowed and finally closed into a tunnel two or three meters high and wide.

We didn't go far, and we came across a larger space, and in the tunnel into the space, there were actually several one-meter-high clay pots, and the filling mouth was tightly sealed with beeswax, and I don't know what was inside.

These clay pots have been here for a few years, and the surface of the jars has long been covered with a layer of white frost, but strangely, there is no burst phenomenon in the low temperature environment. There are 4 jars in total, placed side by side at the entrance of the passage connecting the cave hall, which seems to play the role of a guard, and the beeswax of one of the clay pots has been pierced open, if I guess correctly, this should be Uncle Ma's doing. The moment he opened the clay pot, the ghost inside penetrated his body, instantly controlling him, and didn't even give him time to react. In this way, the other three clay pots are not of the good kind.

Sure enough, when Uncle Ma saw these clay pots, his face couldn't help but change, and he pointed to the open jar with a trembling hand and said:

"This is it!"

Lao Yang and I didn't dare to stay in place for too long, because the footsteps behind us were getting closer and closer, and the other team was probably no more than fifty meters away from our side. I hurriedly beckoned to them, and went to avoid them first, and then I left him alone about the clay pot for the time being, after all, it was not a good thing.

We removed the clay pot that had been opened by Uncle Ma and walked through the middle in turn. Then he put the removed clay pot back in its place, and I thought about it for a moment, anyway, the people didn't know what was in these jars, and they would definitely be tempted to open it and find out, and I couldn't guarantee what would happen then.

After entering the cavern inside the tunnel, four or five branch caverns suddenly extended from inside, extending in five different directions. The height of the branch caves was the same as the tunnels outside, so we didn't have time to check them one by one, so we picked a random cave and drilled in. I asked Uncle Ma to take Yang Xue first, saying that I wanted to see the situation outside, although Yang Xue objected, but she was powerless at the moment, so she had to let Uncle Ma help him go deeper into the cave.

Lao Yang and I exchanged glances, then turned around, quietly walked to the entrance of the branch cave, turned off the lights, and waited quietly in the darkness to see what those people would do with those clay pots.

Within a few minutes, the footsteps arrived, and Lao Yang and I hid in the darkness, and saw a few bright lights coming towards this side from a distance, and couldn't help but hold our breath as they approached quickly.

The first thing that caught my eye was another Uncle Ma, who said "Huh", pointed to the clay pot and said to his companion behind him:

"How can there be a few jars here? What's inside? Why has one ever been opened? ”

As soon as I heard it, I guessed that this Uncle Ma had not experienced the possession of a female ghost, and it would cause completely different results in different spaces because of the different choices when encountering problems, which is not difficult to accept.

Another old Yang and "I" immediately appeared, wearing the same miner's lamp on their heads, and looked at the several jars placed at the mouth of the tunnel, looking at each other.

"Open it and take a look!" The old Yang shouted, "Maybe there are some priceless treasures in there!" ”

The other one said with a little hesitation: "In my opinion, it's better not to open it, there may be some demons and monsters sealed inside?" ”

This other "me" is really exactly the same as my thinking pattern, and I thought about it for a while, if I hadn't experienced Uncle Ma's possession by a female ghost, if I didn't know anything about these clay pots, I'm afraid I would have reacted like this. I lurked in the darkness, a little anxious, and I wanted to rush up and open a jar for them and release some of the monsters sealed inside.

But the other Uncle Ma was also very curious about the clay pot, and saw him turn the open jar upside down, shine it carefully with a flashlight, and put his head in to look at it, and then he came out and shook his head to the other two and said:

"This could be a clay cup......"

"What's a clay cup?" Another Lao Yang asked.

Uncle Ma said in a fierce voice: "This kind of thing is used to seal evil ghosts, I once heard my grandfather tell that when he was young, he saw a powerful exorcist use a clay cup to seal ghosts, but all ghosts that need to be sealed by a clay cup are quite vicious, and it is difficult for ordinary people to parry." ”

"Oh?" The other old Yang couldn't help frowning, he glanced at a few clay pots again, probably making a trade-off in his heart, and seemed hesitant.

I hid in the dark and looked anxious, secretly saying how could this Uncle Ma suddenly understand so much, but our Uncle Ma was possessed by evil ghosts when he opened the jar, didn't he know what this Uncle Ma knew? I don't think it's possible, the two of them have exactly the same memory, it's probably because the choices they make when they're alone with several people are different, and that must be the case.

I was in a hurry, and the other old Yang finally made up his mind and said to the other two:

"I think so, Uncle Ma, the two of you go back a little first, I'll open the jar here alone and take a look, if an evil ghost comes out of my body, Uncle Ma, you can also help me."

"I'm afraid it's a bit too risky to do this," the other Uncle Ma said with sincere trepidation, "After all, the demons sealed in the clay cup are not idle people, and they may not be able to surrender with my Taoism." ”

"What if it's filled with gold bars?"

Another old Yang suddenly glared at Uncle Ma fiercely, and scolded, "Wealth is in danger!" Don't even dare to take this risk, what treasure are you still looking for? It's better to go home and farm quickly! ”

Another Uncle Ma was scolded a few times by Lao Yang, showing an embarrassed look, stopped talking, and probably started an ideological struggle in his heart. However, after a while, he seemed to have finally made up his mind, nodded at the other old Yang, and said:

"The young man is right, wealth and wealth are in danger, in order to have food and clothing for the rest of his life and my children's tuition fees, I will also fight him this time!"

Saying that, Uncle Ma and "I" began to retreat backwards, and their expressions couldn't help but reveal panic, after all, for a few clay pots in a strange environment that didn't know what to contain, they didn't know what monsters would be released if they opened them rashly.

The other old Yang couldn't help but show a little panicked look when he saw them retreat backwards, leaving him alone to face all this. But this look was only fleeting, and I saw him suddenly grab a clay pot that had not yet been opened, and move it vigorously. The unopened clay cup seemed to be very heavy, and it took a little effort for the other old Yang to move aside. He removed the clay pot, rested a little, and put his ear to hear the clay pot. But he listened for a while and didn't seem to hear anything, shook his head as if self-deprecatingly, reached out and grabbed both sides of the can, and shook it.

Judging from his movements, he should want to shake the clay pot to determine what was inside, if it was a gold bar, there should be a rattling sound, or if it was a liquid like liquor, there should also be a liquid shaking sound. However, he shook it a few times, but suddenly stopped, said something softly, and began to dig open the beeswax at the mouth of the can.

He took out a dagger from his backpack and scraped it carefully, but the scraping progress was too slow, and the other old Yang seemed a little impatient, so he gritted his teeth and stabbed the beeswax at the mouth of the can. Unexpectedly, the blade of the stab was completely submerged in the clay cup, and he took advantage of the situation to the side, and the beeswax at the mouth of the can collapsed, and suddenly a hole came out. (To be continued.) )
